?Agreement Hearing the words, the old man narrowed his eyes, moved his eyes away from Xu Qi'an, and looked into the distance.
He has a sense of stagnation, stagnation is not a derogatory term, but people yearn for new life, so this word is often not in line with people's preferences.
The stale air on the old man's body is the aura of more vicissitudes than the vicissitudes of life precipitated by the years.
He was the same age as Guo, born in the Great Weekend period, and witnessed the rise and fall of two dynasties.
He rose up in troubled times and led volunteers to overthrow tyranny. He has experienced too many things and seen too many people.
Twilight naturally soaked into the bones. . .
The strange thing is that Xu Qi'an didn't see such despondency in the supernatural masters such as Jianzheng, Arhat, and even the two Vajras.
Is it because he has always been in the world of mortals Or is it because he is a vulgar martial artist Xu Qian thought to himself.
After a while, the old man said slowly:
"When Emperor Wuzong rebelled and usurped the throne, I hadn't retreated yet. At that time, Emperor Dafeng was close to treacherous ministers, and the government and the people were messed up.
"Of course, the momentary political turmoil is nothing, compared with the chaos at the end of the dynasty, it is nothing to mention.
"Wu Zong is the grandson of Gaozu. His talent is not inferior to that of his grandfather, and his personality is the same. He is a hero with great talent and strategy. He took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the ruling and opposition parties with the faint and treacherous officials at that time, and under the name of the Qing emperor, he recruited troops and launched a rebellion.
"This is very smart. If he directly rebels, he will not win the hearts of the people, nor will he get help from people of insight.
"At that time, he was only a third-rank martial artist, and it was as difficult as going to heaven to rebel under the nose of the first supervisor.
"So, he cleverly recruited three helpers: Confucianism, Buddhism, and contemporary supervisors."
Hearing this, Xu Qi'an had to interrupt, and said in surprise:
"But I heard that when Emperor Wuzong rebelled five hundred years ago, Confucianism stood by and watched from the beginning to the end."
The old man laughed and said:
"Standing on the sidelines is the greatest help. Otherwise, with the background of Confucianism at that time and the addition of a first-generation supervisor, Wu Zong can succeed? Unless the Buddha himself takes action.
"Confucianism has long been dissatisfied with the emperor at that time, but the first generation supervisor was checking and balancing it, leaving Confucianism helpless."
He waited for a while, and seeing that Xu Qi'an had no doubts, he continued:
"At the beginning of the rebellion, Emperor Wuzong didn't have enough soldiers and horses to contend with the entire Dafeng, so he turned his idea to the Wulin League.
"And the person responsible for lobbying me to send troops is the current supervisor.
"At first, I disagreed. If this matter is over, what benefits can I get? It is impossible for Emperor Wuzong to cede Jianzhou to me. If it fails, the Wulin League, which I have painstakingly managed for more than a hundred years, may be destroyed in one day.
"You might as well guess how Jian Zheng persuaded me."
Xu Qi'an's heart moved: "Is it related to this agreement?"
The old man nodded, then shook his head again:
"To be precise, it's a deal.
"In the more than 100 years since I returned to Jianzhou and founded the Wulin League, I have already been promoted to the peak of the third rank, but I still can't join the Tao.
"The most frightening thing in the world is not the difficulties and setbacks, but the lack of hope. The surname Ji was similar to me at the beginning. After becoming emperor, he gained luck and improved his cultivation by thousands of miles, and finally stepped into the ranks of first-rank martial arts.
"I am not very convinced, so I have never been ashamed to ask my subordinates, and asked him for his experience in the Dao Realm."
What a shameful question, you old man, you have taken all the bamboo shoots from Mount Quanrong Xu Qi'an complained silently in his heart.
"At that time, I didn't know the rule that people with luck could not live forever. Decades later, before I had time to convince myself, the person surnamed Ji became a short-lived ghost and died .¡±
The old man shook his head, sneered and said:
"I'm afraid that girl in the first generation was crying, hahaha. I always suspected that he was a rabbit. Cough cough In short, I have been at the peak of the third rank for many years, unable to break through, and see no hope of breaking through.
"Until that day, the contemporary supervisor came to me, and he said that as long as I was willing to send troops to help Wu Zong win the throne, he would help me to be promoted to the second rank."
Xu Qi'an laughed out loud:
"I understand, old man, you were imprisoned by the jailer. I didn't expect that the jailer was also an old politician back then."
The old man glanced at him, with a half-smile:
"I used to think so too, but now, I have indeed been promoted to the second rank."
? Within ten seconds after this sentence was finished, the smile on Xu Qi'an's face remained unsteady at first.Easy, difficult to sit up.
"In my whole life, I practiced swordsmanship hard, gathered the masters of various swordsmen, and melted them into one furnace. But in the end, I was still stuck at the peak of the third rank, and almost died of failure."
Xu Qi'an hurriedly asked: "How did seniors get along?"
"There are thousands of ways of the sword, and you can join the way if you understand the true meaning. But there are countless roads to the true meaning. During my retreat, my body turned into pieces of meat. Every piece of meat represents a different way of the knife. They have their own ideas. Everyone thinks they are right.¡±
"Can the nine-color lotus root help people get along?"
"Nine-color lotus seeds can enlighten all things, and the lotus root can naturally do the same, even stronger. Its role in it is to enlighten the thousands of "I" who are trapped in the quagmire, and determine a dominant "I". Lotus seeds are not effective enough to achieve this effect, but nine-color lotus root can. This is why Qingyang wanted to win nine-color lotus root for me back then."
Nine-color lotus root is equivalent to a stabilizer, which acts as a catalyst and stabilizer Xu Qi'an generally understood.
I still have a small piece of nine-color lotus root, um, let Nan Zhi continue to cultivate the lotus root for me. In this way, if I step into the second rank, maybe I don't have to take away her spiritual resources.
Before Xu Qi'an handed over the nine-color lotus root, he cut off a small piece and kept it by his side, just like the nine-color lotus root back then.
With such a treasure of natural materials and earth, we must make it sustainable.
Saying goodbye to the old man, and returning to the military town, Xu Qi'an found a courtyard and invited Mu Nanzhi and Chai Xing'er. The latter was imprisoned in the Pagoda of the Buddha for a long time, resulting in Qi deficiency and frailty. Xu Qi'an planned to release them for a while.
She is still useful, the tomb guarded by the ancestors of the Chai family can be paid attention to by Xu Pingfeng, the owner of the tomb is not unusual.
Mu Nanzhi was wearing a plum-colored padded jacket and a plain pleated skirt, exuding the aura of a young girl and a rich wife.
Even though her appearance is mediocre, it is difficult to hide her unique charm.
The little white fox took advantage of Xu Qi'an's walk away and hurriedly said:
"Auntie, I need to pee."
Without further ado, she jumped out of Mu Nanzhi's arms and ran away in a joyous manner.
It cast its natal supernatural powers, turned into a white shadow, flickered a few times in the military town, then moved away from the buildings, and then plunged into the forested and vast Quanrong Mountains.
In the time for a cup of tea, Bai Ji sneaked into the deep mountains and old forests, away from the main peak of Mount Quanrong.
It glanced around and picked a high rock to jump on.
The empress came in a row
