Chapter 032 The Winter of Much Ado About Nothing

Cold and quiet lower Mawei finally have some popularity, Li Yu axe is already on fire to leave the capital, away from the place of wrongdoing. And no God Tuan’s swordsman Wang Xiaoping stayed in the stage, I guess in the future will not be less for the tiger’s countless curses. Wang Xiaoping entered a side room, closed the door. Then the little monk stupid north and south on the fire ran to the lower Mawei, after seeing the dismal scene of His Highness the son of the world straight scratching his bald head, Xu Fengyen did not talk too much about his menacing “quarrel” in the palace, and he made an appointment with him to go out of the capital together, and then go to a trip to the two Zen temples, did not want to think of the little monk shook his head and said: “Master let me go to Beilang with His Highness, let me go to the north of the country with His Highness, let me go to the north of the country with His Highness. His Highness to go to Beiliang together, and asked me to teach the method of epiphany on his behalf.”

Xu Fengyen was surprised and asked, “It’s fine if you didn’t go to the capital to meet the saint, but if you just left the capital and went to Northern Liang with me, isn’t this tantamount to proving that the Two Zen Monasteries have completely fallen out with the imperial court? Aren’t you afraid that the Two Zen Monasteries will be closed by the court in a fit of rage?”

Li Zi girl is not happy to take care of these things, a mind in the yard pile of snowmen, after the backyard snow was used up, earlier also let Xu Fenian go to the outer yard or even the street shoveling snow, with baskets loaded back to the yard, now has been piled up by her large and small thirty snowmen, that is called a grandeur. North and South little monk grinned, “Master said that the closure of the temple does not matter, anyway, the monks in the temple are not starving, without the rightful fullness and warmth, the statement of the heart is only sincere when it is bitter.”

Xu Fenian helplessly said, “Your master is broad-minded.”

Stupid North-South looked despondent and worried, “Master’s epiphany, I’m afraid to say it’s not good.”

Xu Fenian was bored lying on the rattan chair, a glib expression said, “North and South, why don’t you and Li Zi still don’t go to Northern Liang. Or one day when I miss you guys, I’ll invite you to be my guests in Northern Liang again.”

Miss Li Zi had already used up all the snow and finished piling up the last snowman with great success, patting her frozen red hands as she came, hearing these words, she froze, first furiously wanting to retort, then remembering something, she turned pale with fear and hesitated.

Obviously she recalled with hindsight the nightmare of that stupid north and south becoming Buddha and going away.

Xu Fengnian calmly said: ”I believe in fate, I would rather believe in it than not, but believing doesn’t mean that you must resign yourself to fate, I don’t care about your master, Li Zi’s father in the end how to think, if you dare to go to Beiliang, I can throw you to the South China Sea with five flowers tied up, and the East China Sea is also fine. The epiphanic Buddhism of becoming a Buddha on the spot, the sky is huge, and Beiliang is indeed the easiest place to spread, but you also said that the saying is more sincere when it is bitter, so go to a place other than Beiliang to suffer. Northern Liang, for the time being, will not open this door to you.”

The young monks of the North and South who were stupid in all other things except for the matter of saying scriptures and sayings were instantly caught in a dilemma.

Xu Fengnian didn’t give them a chance to think more, and continued without mercy, “You all leave the capital immediately this time, lest you be dragged down by me.”

Miss Li Zi reddened her eyes and bit her lip.

Xu Fengyen boarded up his face and said, “Can’t you understand the expulsion order?”

Miss Li Zi cried, “I haven’t seen you for just a while and you’ve gone gray, what if next time you die when you say so, I’ll only have two friends, you and Wen Hua, and Wen Hua can’t be found, what do you want me to do?”

Xu Fengnian wanted to speak.

Stupid North and South folded their hands and walked to the side of the stuff, Xu Fengyen closed his eyes and said softly, “You can first enter Nanzhao via Xishu, you can go all the way to the edge of the South China Sea. The road is difficult, but it is relatively peaceful.”

Li Zi girl in the end is the first to grow up from a girl into a woman, this time there is no pampering, no pestering, turned her head and wiped her tears, sniffled and whispered, “Then I’m leaving ah.”

Xu Fengnian always closed his eyes and stared with an iron heart.

She managed to move to the door of the backyard and turned her head, “I’m really leaving ah.”

Xu Fengnian was indifferent.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng quietly blanked out.

Half a minute later, Xuanyuan Qingfeng cried a little, a small head poked out of the doorway with teary eyes. Then another bald head followed and poked out furtively.

Xu Fenian stood up violently, both heads whooshed back.

Xu Fengyen crossed the threshold, saw her back to himself, walked over and twisted her ear, pulled her over, lowered his head and laughed softly, “I used to give you gifts, this time you and the north and south go to the South China Sea, remember to go along to help me pick a few gifts, in the future when I see you, I will ask for them from you. I’m tacky, gifts how thieves expensive thieves expensive how to come.”

Li Zi girl lowered her head and let out an oh.

Xu Fenian turned his head to the North-South Monk and smiled, “Then I’ll leave this sister to you, take care of it. Remember ten thousand pounds of rouge and powder is not as good as a living person.”

The North-South Monk nodded.

Seeing off to the entrance of the Lower Mawei Stage House, Xu Fengnian merely waved his hand and turned around.

Leaving behind a young girl who was crying her eyes out, and a young monk who was at a loss for words.

Returning to the courtyard, Xu Fengyen squatted in front of a small knee-high snowman, lost in thought.

His second sister Xu Weixiong from childhood will be ghostly elves, young girl once in the Wudang Mountain Zhenwu Emperor statue behind the carving of “sent three thousand miles” five words, at that time, Wudang Mountain on the Taoist priests only as a child to act without taboo, and now think about it, linked to the year when the first travel up to 3,000 miles away, can be counted as a prophecy.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng asked, “You are the reincarnation of True Martial Emperor?”

Xu Fengnian said blandly, “There is not a single person around me who has good karma. My mother lost the Land Sword Immortal, my eldest sister’s life was ill-fated, my second sister almost died from plum wine, my master Li Yishan died of illness, and my younger brother might just enter the Finger Xuan for me at some point. Aren’t you afraid?”

Xuanyuan Qingfeng flooded with heartfelt laughter like a madman, cupping his belly and laughing, “How can the word miserable be said! I’m going to die of joy!”

Xu Fengnian exhaled heavily, not caring about the madwoman’s gloating, stood up, “Go home.”

※※※※

The number one runic sword in the world, Shentian returned the True Martial Emperor, Zhao Danping’s face was cloudy, silently mentally calculating the heavenly chances, but he couldn’t even get a hint of what was going on. Mr. White Lotus drew a breath of cold air and chanted Sword Idiot Wang Xiaoping in a questioning tone. Sun Tanglu and a few starting lang all subconsciously lowered their heads and looked towards their toes, not daring to take a look at this sight that they still don’t know whether it’s a bad omen or an auspicious one. Zhao Ningshen, whose face resembles that of an old ancestor of Longhu Mountain, stood in a daze, reciting words and shaking his head. Longhu Mountain force pressure Wudang head after, occupy the fortune, dragon pool in purple and gold lotus flowers bloom, swaying, Longhu Mountain real people are more talented, and there is a Zhao family name and outside the family name of the tradition of complementing each other, Qi Xuan frame beheading the devil, there will be a hand holding the duster as a sword of the qi immortal warrior reputation in the jianghu, known as is expected to become one of the leaders of the contemporary sword road, the name obtained extremely second, qi immortal warrior really have chivalrous bone, more immortal, plus four Zhao family name of the big Tianshi healthy, Zhao Danping in the capital to advocate momentum, and late Zhao Ningshen out of nowhere, not to mention Mr. White Lotus aside to assist, Longhu Mountain how to look at is the luck can be said to be quite flourishing period, but the face is full, inside but let the Tianshi House worry, Dragon Pond plant there are not many lotus flowers left, there is still a continue to wither the dismal signs, which let the Tianshi House of the Yellow Purple Nobleman puzzled.

His majesty the emperor calmly said to Zhao Danping: “Zhao Tianshi, go to trip Qin Tianjian.”

Zhao Danping led the order to rush off.

Even though Zhao Zhuan had become the Crown Prince, it appeared that he was still in the same idle state of mind as when he was the Wen Ya Emperor. The emperor turned his head and smiled, “Seal son, you lead Mr. White Lotus and Condensed Spirit around, if there is any place where something is not right, turn around and write a report for me. Remember, don’t get someone to write for you.”

Zhao Zhuan nodded with a bitter face. As he, the crown prince, and the two Taoist priests walked aimlessly around the palace grounds, Zhao Zhuan suddenly laughed and asked, “Mr. White Lotus, you said that in case the Xu family’s first-born son is the True Martial Emperor, wouldn’t that be tricky?”

Bai Yu laughed softly, “To be an immortal in the sky, to be a human on the ground. If that’s really the case, there’s no harm in it. Eight hundred years ago, the Emperor of Qin claimed to be the reincarnation of the True Martial Emperor, but he also failed to unify Northern Mang, and could only pass away with regrets like any mortal.”

Zhao Zhuan asked an extremely sharp question, “Sir, the world is envious of immortals to get a long life, through the dynasties there have been emperors who have been seeking the prescription, or alchemy or visit the immortals, but none of them live forever, the emperor who lived more than a hundred years old did not, so since you are the ancestor of Taoism in the Lung Fu Mountain, has there ever been a real proof of the Tao of longevity of the senior celestial masters? I don’t really believe in the Taoist texts about ascension, do you believe in it, Mr. White Lotus?”

According to the laws of the Liyang Clan, the Crown Prince could call himself Orphan.

Mr. White Lotus laughed out loud and said cheerfully, “Bai Yu was taken to Longhu Mountain by his master at a young age, and also asked his old man if there were any immortals in the world. I only relayed my master’s words once, he said that Taoist priests cultivate immortality to ask the Great Dao, just like that medicine picker hiking the mountain to pick medicine, some people are very lazy, but life sometimes must have, into the mountain once on the picking of valuable medicinal herbs, full of return, this kind of people, Wudang has Hong Washang, White Yu’s Longhu Mountain also has one. But the vast majority of people are heavenly rewards, sometimes and sometimes, but ultimately there is something to gain, like the four great masters of the Heavenly Master’s House, this is so, become a living god in the eyes of the world outside the mountain, from the Taoist real person’s statement, but also just short of a line. More people are not successful, can often hiking, not to mention the medicine, can look out over the mountain scenery, can be a broad vision, relaxed and happy, and more often walk the arduous mountain road, but also can exercise the body, prolong life. In the past dynasties, there were indeed many crappy fangshi with longevity to pander to the emperor, confusing the court, which in Bai Yu’s opinion, a hundred harms and no benefit, future generations should be vigilant, but the Dragon Tiger Mountain’s inner dan magic, not to the word of longevity to confuse the masses, it is a hundred benefits and no harm, regardless of whether the emperor and the minister or the peddler, can be learned on a learning curve, so his majesty that year, when the first time I ordered me to enter the capital, and the crown prince of His Highness, like a laugh, asked me the world there is no free immortals, there is no superior longevity, and there is no superior immortal. I answered no. In fact, the matter of ascension is a matter of God’s own will, but it is a matter of God’s own will. In fact, the ascension of the matter, the immortal, Bai Yu since it is a person of cultivation, naturally believe that it has, and the emperor’s role, not in the well-being of the heavens, but in the search for peace in the world, longevity is against the heavens, the emperor by the heavens to carry on the fortunes of the emperor, before they call themselves the son of heaven, and therefore want to testify to longevity, especially difficult, and even less for the heavens to be happy. The stars run, the river flows, the temple tent, life and death, all in the rituals of the word. Confucianism in this dynasty is ranked ahead of Taoism, because Confucianism within the benevolence and righteousness outside the rituals, is indeed a party of the fundamental medicine for the country. But there is still no cure for all diseases under the sky, Taoism is another side of the medicine, the East of the Central Plains of Buddhism, in fact, is also. His majesty exterminate buddhist, not exterminate real buddhist, but pull out those pseudo scriptures pseudo monks, why is not in order to let His Royal Highness ascend the throne when the amnesty for buddhist and for? Good medicine tastes bitter, Your Majesty’s intentions are also good, Your Highness the Crown Prince bides his time and is well versed in the essence of Huang Lao, but he must not fail to sympathize with it in detail.”

Crown Prince Zhao Zhuan was absentmindedly listening to the debate on Buddhism and Taoism, but when Bai Yu narrated his speech, he was so focused that he didn’t miss a single word. Looking around, he saw no one in the four corners of the room, and softly said, “My father regards the Chancellor of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Danping, as a mere actor, but I don’t dare to treat Mr. White Lotus in such a way! I also hope that Mr. He will be able to enter the court as an official, not to seek their own longevity, but only to seek the blessings of all the people.”

His day. Naturally, it was when he, Zhao Zhuan, ascended the throne.

Bai Yu smiled faintly, noncommittal.

Zhao Zhuan likewise smiled heartily.

Zhao Ningshen always began to wander the world, ignoring the chat between the Crown Prince and Mr. White Lotus.

Zhao Zhuan led the two Celestial Masters’ House Taoists to the outside of the Qin Tian Supervisory Authority and left, and Mr. Bailian looked at the over-specified Qin Tian Supervisory Authority’s tall building and gently asked, “Did you figure it out?”

Zhao Ningshen nodded, “It’s Xu Fengyian.”

Bai Yu was not shocked, not happy but instead had a somewhat sorrowful look, muttering, “No wonder the first generation of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain manifested the spirit of the Dragon Pond to draw the heavenly book, leaving behind the prophecy that there is a horse stepping on the dragon and tiger. However, the human world vassal king, but also the king does not see the king. Liyang is at the time when the three talents of heaven, earth and man are gathered, it is no wonder that you Xu Fengnian is so miserable in his life. The people you care about around you, has there ever been a person who has achieved fulfillment and a good end?”

Bai Yu sighed and patted the shoulder of the young Taoist monk beside him, “Lone Yin Zhao Huang Chao did the usurping of life, he was able to raise an evil dragon in the Earth Lung Mountain, I don’t believe that you and I can’t do it.”

※※※※

The capital fifty miles away, there is a small town, when the Liyang dynasty pacified the Central Plains, the world’s gentry and wealthy artisans and other three religions and nine streams into the big urn, before the expansion of the city, a large number of people have to settle outside the city, the people go to the city, empty, over time, on the turn of the hand by the later forces of the turtledove, the town of the volcano win not far from the capital, but also prosperous, according to the mountains and the water, some of the good sections of the mansion has so far also been the capital of the powerful and wealthy occupy, used as a Treading spring to avoid the summer heat and fall tour to enjoy the snow. A quiet inn in the town of Fulong, came a head full of silver hair of the old man, not to talk about generous, but the attitude is extremely uncommon, the shopkeeper and fellows are daunted, usually a gray-clothed old man sitting alone to eat and drink, there is no one who dares to go up to talk to them.

Then came a pair of guests, and gray-clothed old man sitting at the same table.

The woman is as beautiful as a fairy, carrying a long and gorgeous rosewood sword case, like the ladies out of the picture of a great beauty, but unfortunately has a stranger do not get close to the Linglie temperament.

The middle-aged Confucian who seemed like a servant, on the other hand, had frosty temples and sat across from the old man in the meeting.

The gray-clothed old man said flatly, ”Cao Changqing, having crossed the threshold of Heavenly Signs to become a Confucian Sage, have you come to me to show off your power? Or do you want to stop me from killing Xu Fenian?”

The Confucian Sage who was already a Confucian Sage smiled blandly, “It just so happens that I have to wait for Xu Fengyin to return one thing, so I’m just stopping by to catch up with you. I won’t intervene in the grudge between you afterward.”

The snow-covered Han Sable Temple glanced at that Western Chu’s deceased princess Jiang Si and retracted his sight, “Although I, Han Sable Temple, am a eunuch, I know that His Majesty will not treat the people of the world poorly, although you, Cao Changqing, are not selfish, but you are harming the whole world with the selfishness of the whole country, restoring the country? Even if you are an immortal, can you really restore the country?”

Cao Changqing shook his head and said, “If you don’t do your best, you don’t know the fate of heaven.”

Han Diaoji sneered, got up and said fiercely, “Tell Xu Fengnian, 500 miles away, within 1000 miles, he and I will definitely split the difference between dead and alive.”

Cao Changqing did not say anything.

Han Diaoji dropped a bag of silver on the table and walked out of the inn.

Cao Changqing looked at Her Highness, who calmly said, “He can only be killed by me.”

Cao Changqing had a bit of a headache, “Han Diaoji may not be able to kill Xu Fengnian.”

The young woman’s face tone that was already imperial sword like an immortal was ancient, “I’ll keep my words.”

Cao Changqing even Gu Jiantang Nanhua square inch thunder can be blocked by the Confucian saint, there is nothing to do about it.
