Chapter 231
Come back.Carpe diem.Fate depends on the sky, when will you be rich.In a hundred years, those in their seventies are rare.Nai has a lot of sorrow, a lot of illness, and a lot of decline.

Fame Mercedes.Surprised by favor and disgrace.There were some things in my old home.Now that I am old, I can see through the shutdown.It's better to be idle, drunk, or crazy.

——"Xingxiangzi. Go Back Come Come" Xin Qiji
……

Hearing a scream from a distance, the little eunuch who was holding the tortoise shell just now was thrown into his arms by a poisoned carrier pigeon. In a hurry, he accidentally tore off the silk handkerchief covering his mouth and nose, and inadvertently inhaled a little poisonous smoke.

The little eunuch's eyes were red, his hat and hairpin were torn off, his hair was disheveled, and he screamed shrilly like a night owl, which was creepy.

More than a dozen guards rushed forward, trying to intercept and lead the little eunuch away from the square.The little eunuch didn't practice martial arts normally, but now he looks like a madman with boundless strength.

He jumped into the arms of a guard, clasped his hands together, and bit off the man's ear.The guard screamed and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the little eunuch jumped at another guard and kicked him over.Before the guard could get up, he stepped on his right ankle, grabbed his left leg with his hands like tiger claws, and carried it on his shoulder.The little eunuch let out a wild roar, and with a struggle of his arms, he tore the man in half from his crotch.Internal organs, feces, urine and feces, spilled all over the place.

The little eunuch clenched his fists with both hands, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, turned his head suddenly, seeing that there were many people around Xuanzong, he rushed towards Xuanzong without stopping!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Lishi yelled: "Guard!"

The guards beside Xuanzong drew their swords and held their shields, and immediately formed a fish-scale formation to protect Xuanzong and others firmly.Another team of imperial guards fired ten thousand arrows and shot the little eunuch to death on the spot.

The little eunuch's body was shot into a hedgehog, crumbling and standing still.

The leader of the forbidden army flew forward and chopped off his head with a single knife, and then the headless corpse slowly fell down.

……

Everyone was still in shock, the guard whose ear had been bitten off just now stood up slowly from the pool of blood, his eyes were dull, he bared his teeth and claws, moved step by step, and slowly walked towards Xuanzong.

Xuanzong let out a cry of alarm, and almost couldn't hold back his anger.

Daoist Bichen clasped his fists with both index fingers pointing to the sky, closed his eyes slightly, and chanted incantations, eloquently speaking, only to hear a thunderbolt from the clear sky, and a thunderbolt fell, blasting the headless bodies of the guard with severed ears and the little eunuch into coke.

……

After a few cups of ginseng soup, Xuanzong regained his composure.

Bichen Daoist said: "The ghost king's spell is here, and the world is about to suffer. To solve this disaster, the only way to solve this disaster is to bury the ghost king's spell in the ground. The Xiaotun area of ​​Xiangzhou must be locked up, and the people are not allowed to approach it.

People who have touched the ghost king's charm can be saved by taking my golden pill.but……"

"It's okay to say, Daoist." Gao Lishi replied on behalf of Xuanzong.

"But, but, Danchen only has five golden pills!"

……

As soon as Taoist Bichen left, Gao Lishi knelt on the ground with a plop, weeping uncontrollably.

Xuanzong asked, "Lishi, what do you mean?"

Gao Lishi cried: "I would like to die on behalf of Li Xiang and Taifu."

Xuanzong asked coldly: "Lishi, don't you want to serve me?"

Gao Lishi cried and said: "Li Xiang is the head of all officials, and the court cannot be without a minister for a day. And the Taifu is the leader of the family. If something happens to him, the southwest and northwest will be chaotic!"
Only the minister is insignificant, and death is not a pity. "

Xuanzong's eyes were like pearls, wandering around, pondering for a moment, and said: "Give the golden elixir to the Taifu, and let the rest be killed."

"Then Li Xiang?" Gao Lishi didn't dare to look directly at Xuanzong, and asked cautiously.

Xuanzong snorted and said, "Him? Humph, we don't need to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, Xuanzong's face darkened, and he sneered, "Tell Li Xiang, Xu Zhong's life is not his turn to take it!"

……

The lights in Taifu Xu's room were lit all night.Zi Che Lie and Bai Fu guarded outside the courtyard all night, worried about any accidents.At dawn, Mrs. Xu finally pushed the door out.Although a little haggard, his face was as usual.

He first called Zi Che Lie in, and gave him a few words of advice.Zi Che Lie clasped his fists in salute, and was ordered to come out.

Xu Taifu called Bai Fu in, and slowly unrolled a roll of silk.The silk is densely covered with symbolic characters on tortoise shells and animal bones, and each symbolic word corresponds to one or two Chinese characters.

Xu Taifu said to Bai Fu: "Fu'er, firmly memorize the Chinese characters corresponding to every Yin and Shang script. These characters will be of great use in the future. Don't let the blood of great Confucians be shed in vain!

After remembering it, burn this roll of silk, and don't leave anything for others to talk about. "

Bai Fu nodded in agreement, folded the roll of silk and put it in his bosom.

……

Master Xu walked into the courtyard.

It was the darkest hour before dawn, Master Xu stared at the morning star hanging in the night sky, sighed, and said, "Master Kongjian's fable is very good, sometimes a mountain fire is really needed."

He turned his head and said to Bai Fu: "I have told the Holy Master to ask my old man to return home. If it wasn't for flood control, I would never wear this official uniform again. Now that the flood is over, it's time to go back.

Before I came from Chang'an, I had already discussed with you, Uncle Jiang, if the situation in the world changes, I will return directly to Bashu from Luoyang.My family members in Chang'an, you, Uncle Jiang, have taken them to Yizhou for me.I will not return to Chang'an, you can help me take a few letters to Chang'an, and hand them over to Patriarch Dugu, Master Changsun and others. "

Bai Fu nodded in agreement, and said, "Don't worry, Grand Tutor, I'll go to Yizhou to reunite with you and Uncle Jiang after finishing my errands."

Taifu Xu blinked his eyes slyly, and said, "I didn't tell you to go back to Bashu too!"

Bai Fu was taken aback.

Master Xu laughed loudly, and said: "The great era is coming, this is your era, and it is time for us old men to call their last.

It's just that I don't know whether in the end, the times make the heroes, or the heroes make the times! "

……

After returning to Luoyang, Master Xu and his party got busy. After going to the government office to complete the handover, they began to pack their luggage.

Xu Taifu seemed to have a premonition, and entrusted the disciples of the Chuan Gang to sell all his fields, houses and manors in Luoyang.A large number of books, albums, etc. in the house were packed into boxes and taken away together.

The famous families in Luoyang area who had good relations with the Taifu also took action at the same time.After finding Taifu, they all expressed their willingness to go south to Shu with Taifu, and go hand in hand.

For more than a month, all the cargo ships of aristocratic families set sail on the great river, transporting all kinds of gold, silver, soft goods, antique calligraphy and paintings to the south.

Some emerging landlords and merchants bought a large amount of land and manors at preferential prices, and their net worth doubled in a short period of time, and they were also ecstatic.

At first, land property was only traded on a small scale in the circle of wealthy businessmen in Luoyang.As the selling orders get bigger and bigger, the manors up for sale are getting more and more luxurious and beautiful.Merchants from all directions moved after hearing the news and came in droves.Among them are rich merchants from Western Regions such as Dashi, Persia, and Sogdian.

For a time, merchants gathered in Luoyang area.The prices of farmhouses are rising steadily.If the location is right, the price can double within three months.

After the news reached Chang'an, all civil and military officials were restless.
