That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1099 Pain Comes from Incompetence

When the situation in the Central Plains was turbulent, Wei State, which was separated from the Central Plains by a vast East China Sea, became a rare pure land. Although due to the stalemate of the Wei King's army, the domestic corvee and taxes were heavy at this time, but it was better than the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Northwest Innocent people who died in wars and other places.

Compared with the ordinary people of the Wei state, the several great families of the Wei state who have enjoyed the honor for generations are more as usual. They were like this when they competed for the throne for ten years, and they are still like this now.

A courtyard of the Murong family is built near the sea. Standing at the window, you can look at the blue sea and blue sky not far away. Outside the courtyard is a soft white sandy beach. After entering late autumn, the sea breeze blows often, refreshing .

At dawn, two young women came out of the mansion with black tiles and white walls built in the Jiangnan style, and walked side by side on the beach. The younger woman was wearing a hydration gown and hibiscus on her head Crown, full ten women's crown dress.On the other hand, the older woman was wearing a skirt, and her hair of three thousand black hair was not tied into a bun, but simply tied up with a ribbon, hanging around her neck and hanging on her chest.

The woman's appearance is not amazing, but the aura on her body has the meaning of being out of the world, which makes people forget the vulgarity. She looks at the deep sea under the dark blue sky with the light of morning light. There are no seabirds, no white sails, and more There is no red sun.

Now the young woman who has gradually gained a firm foothold in the Taoist sect said softly: "Before I came, I heard Senior Sister Miaoyun talk about the situation in the sect. It seems that the situation in the Northeast is not optimistic. There was no news, Senior Brother Tian Yun took advantage of this to make troubles frequently, Senior Brother Bai Yunzi coped with difficulties, and several peak masters also had objections, in Senior Sister Miao Yun's words, it was an undercurrent. Difficult to suppress."

The expressionless older woman is indifferent.

The young woman secretly glanced at the face of the senior sister beside her, and then said cautiously: "Senior Sister Miaoyun also said that Buddhism has fallen to the imperial court and Jianzong. With the help of Buddhism, our Taoist sect wants to rely on the number of masters Forcibly suppressing people will be very difficult, and the days to come may not be as easy as before."

The older woman was Qi Xianyun who followed Murong Xuan and temporarily lived in seclusion in the Wei Kingdom. She sighed softly and said, "The second chief deacon of the Town Demon Palace, Emperor Fengdu, died. Master Chenye was hunted down by Bingchen, and I don't know what happened." Is it difficult to describe the current situation? I heard Madam... I heard my mother mentioned yesterday that the King of Wei wants to meet Zhao Qing secretly, and I am afraid that he has already begun to seek a way out."

Zhiyun was taken aback by Qi Xianyun's words, "So, isn't it... isn't it..."

Qi Xianyun interjected: "Don't you want the building to collapse?"

Zhiyun nodded.

Qi Xianyun shook his head and said: "With Daoist Daoist Master personally sitting in the town, our Daoist mansion will not fall. At most, we will abandon the Central Plains and Jiangnan and retreat to Linxian Mansion. Do those people dare to chase and kill them to Xuandu?"

Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again, "If this is the case, wouldn't the Qingjing Temple, Chonglong Temple, and Taiqing Palace all become other people's possessions like Zirong Temple? .”

Qi Xianyun said indifferently: "If you really lose and want to get out, how can you do it without paying a little price? Just like the Sword Sect back then, after losing the Dingding battle, he lost all his belongings. Not only did the suzerain and the two elders all die in battle, but even the 36 islands and Weiguo, which had been in operation for thousands of years, became the property of others and were almost destroyed."

Zhiyun plucked up his courage, turned his head to look at the calm-faced senior sister, and asked softly, "Where is that person?"

Qi Xianyun also looked at her: "You mean Xu Beiyou?"

Zhiyun nodded, and whispered: "Whether Jianzong is good or bad, I don't know, I only know that Sect Master Gongsun is an excellent person, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have died in Chonglongguan, and there is He, he was the one who rescued me at the beginning, although he failed to save me, he still saved me in the end."

Zhiyun's voice became softer and weaker, and at the end it was as loud as a mosquito, and his head drooped at some point.

Seeing her like this, Qi Xianyun sighed again, somewhat annoyed, "Xu Beiyou, is there anyone in the world who lives better than him? Others now say that he can fix Jiangnan with one sword, and level with one sword." Grassland, what a name this is. Even Gongsun Zhongmou back then could not compare to this apprentice. His reputation has already surpassed that of Shangguan Xianchen, and some people have even called him the Great Sword Immortal. As you know, he married I mentioned that Her Royal Highness Princess of Daqi. I met this Princess once at Laoding Taiqing Palace. She is indeed not an ordinary person. Now she is the Regent Princess. With the support of their father and son, she monopolizes the government. It's not that the emperor is better than the emperor, of course, she also reciprocated, not only let Xu Beiyou bear the seal of the general of Pinghu, but also named him a king with a different surname, what an honor it is."

Regarding Qi Xianyun's remarks, Zhiyun just let out a calm sigh.

Qi Xianyun was a little angry, which was rare, and said coldly: "He is doing very well, why do you still miss him? When he was making love to that princess and beauty, did he ever remember you?"

Zhiyun raised his head and looked at Qi Xianyun, and said seriously: "That's not the case. Who he likes and who he is with is his business. Who I like and who I miss is my business. It can't be because I like He, he wants to like me, there is no such reason. Besides, the princess must also like him very much, how can he disappoint the princess? Yasheng once said that you can't have both Yep, that's it."

Qi Xianyun laughed angrily and said: "You girl, you are usually stupid, but now you have a set of principles, and I don't know who you learned from."

Zhiyun lowered his head again, and said in a low voice: "It's the master who said it, not the real person in charge, but my former master. When he was alive, he often told me that there are ten things that don't go well in life. Eighty-nine, if you force everything to go well, then the unsatisfactory will become ten to ten, so sometimes, don't be too demanding. He also said that the suffering in life actually comes from the four words of powerlessness. I have always known Yes, why did he marry Her Royal Highness in the first place, not because of her beauty, but because Her Highness can help him revive the Sword Sect, while I am a member of the Taoist sect. Sect Master Gongsun, he is lucky if he doesn't hate me, why is he still with me? This is what I can't ask for."

Zhiyun sighed for a long time and continued: "People's hearts are not made of iron, they are made of flesh. He is an excellent person. Since he married Her Royal Highness, he will treat her well. I think Her Royal Highness is also an excellent person. Naturally, I will treat him well. Over time, ruthlessness has become affectionate. They say that they would rather tear down ten temples than destroy a marriage. They are husband and wife, so why should I bother? This is just not letting go. , When I think about it one day, I will let it go."

At this moment, Zhiyun didn't look like a timid little Taoist nun in ordinary times, but a woman who had experienced the world, and said slowly: "Then again, isn't that Miss Wu Yu Wu more pitiful, she was born more beautiful than me, Even compared with that high princess, he is no different, but it is a pity that good fortune tricks people, and the flow of water is ruthless, and he has misunderstood himself."

Hearing her words, Qi Xianyun's anger slowly dissipated, and he suddenly thought of Ling Yun who had become a prisoner, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She suddenly felt that she was not as thorough as Zhiyun in this matter.

What Zhiyun said is right, man, all the pain actually comes from anger at his own incompetence.
