That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 561 How to Get to Danxia Battlefield

Xu Beiyou, who hadn't slept all night, suddenly felt an inexplicable coolness behind his back. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. He has already cultivated a cultivation base that is invulnerable to cold and heat. There is no reason why he will catch cold after sitting all night. Could it be that someone is speaking ill of him behind his back? up?
It's just that he is not proficient in divination and practice, and there is no way to investigate this, and he has offended many people, not to mention poking his back, there are also many people who wish to smash him to ashes.

Xu Beiyou didn't think too much, and got up and walked out of the main hall. At this time, Han Xuan had already gone to court, and only Meng Li was guarding the door. Xu Beiyou beckoned him to come over. After whispering, Meng Li went out immediately.

Not long after, Xu Beiyou also left the Han Mansion, and walked slowly in this alley full of wealth and wealth. His boots stepped on the accumulated water on the ground, making a clear sound, and there were drops of water on the tile eaves on both sides of the alley from time to time. Fall, tick tock.

The gates of every house are closed tightly, no idlers or pedestrians can be seen, only a piece of silence.

It is said that Han Xuan's mansion was originally the old mansion of Xiao Huang's grandfather. Today, the emperor gave this mansion to Han Xuan, which shows how much he valued this temple veteran. This place is not too far from the original Anguo Gong's mansion. There are rumors that His Majesty intends to change this Xiao family's "ancestral house" into Qi Wang's mansion, and bestow it on Qi Wang Xiao Bai, who has officially established the status of Crown Prince, but it is not known whether it is true or not.

Xu Beiyou walked out of the alley and stopped at the entrance of the alley. He was a little bit emotional. When he was in Jiangdu, he never had a moment to spare. After arriving in the imperial capital, he was not used to having nothing to do.

Xu Beiyou suddenly remembered something. It seemed that the Prince's Mansion of Xihe County was only two streets away from here, and it was the mansion of Xu's family where Xu Lin, Xu Yan, and Empress Xu lived.

Xu Beiyou subconsciously looked in the direction of Xu's house, recalling many unrealistic fantasies he had when he was a child.

What would it be like if he was born in such a noble and noble family with bells and bells ringing and feasting?Do you shake your folding fan every day, reciting poems and composing Fu, accompanied by a secretive old servant, when you encounter dudes who bully men and women, you will teach them a lesson, and when you meet poor scholars who are shy, you will generously donate money , get a good name of "Timely Rain" or "Xiaomengchang", and then be nominated for the gold list. After the big entrance examination, the small entrance examination, met several fairy characters who do not eat the fireworks of the world, and dealt with them by themselves, and finally received all of them in their arms .

What is fantasy?It’s something I don’t even believe in. If the former Xu Beiyou believed that he would one day save enough money to buy a brick and tile house in Danxiazhai, then no matter in the past or now, Xu Beiyou did not believe that he would become like this People, to put it bluntly, are things that make yourself laugh when you are bored.

Fantasies, dreams, ambitions, and responsibilities are four things that are easily confused, because in many cases, they will overlap to a considerable extent. Take Xu Beiyou himself as an example. His fantasy is to be a heartless family My son, the dream is to be a swordsman and set up a family in Danxiazhai at the same time. The ambition is to be a man of excellence, and the responsibility is to revive the sword sect. While Xu Beiyou is taking responsibility, he is also gradually realizing his ambition, and even has completed Even if he wants to realize that ridiculous fantasy, it is not impossible.

Xu Beiyou would often laugh at himself and wonder, does this count as "unity of knowledge and action"?At any rate, what you think and what you want are consistent with what you do, and you don't have to worry about anything. Compared with those unfortunate people whose dreams or ambitions and responsibilities are completely opposite, they are already much luckier.

In fact, Xu Beiyou's unmarried wife, Xiao Zhinan, is a good example. Xiao Zhinan once told Xu Beiyou that her dream is to live freely in the world, but her responsibility is to shoulder the responsibilities of a Daqi princess. Responsibility, the two are doomed not to have both, you can only choose one of the two, and what is even more sad is that this choice has long been doomed. Whether it is abandoning the princess status or shouldering the responsibilities a princess should have, it is difficult to get her Want to be at ease.

Xu Beiyou leaned back against the wall with his hands crossed over his chest. He was not like Mr. Xu, who made all the princes of the imperial capital fearful, but like a idler who was full of food and had nothing to do all day long.

In fact, now, he also knows that those sons of aristocratic families may not be so happy and carefree. Every family has difficult scriptures. It's so simple.

Everyone has their own suffering, don't look at others, just be yourself.

Then again, how can there be a carefree person in this world.

Even a foolish person has emotions, who can do it without thinking too much.

When Xu Beiyou first practiced the sword, he thought that the sword fairy could escape the world.

Unexpectedly, the sword immortals above Yujian Jiutian also have no freedom, let alone the realm where all things in the world are nothing more than one sword.

The 36 islands in the East China Sea, inherited for thousands of years, and the ancestors of the past generations, can such a family burden, a sword, support it?
Xu Beiyou didn't have the confidence.

If you can't support it, how can you talk about the word "Xiaoyao"?

Qin Mumian once advised Xu Beiyou to be a gentleman.

Why does Xu Beiyou not want to be a gentleman, a gentleman who is at ease, and why does he want to be contaminated by these sly dogs and monsters.

In the final analysis, even if it is a helpless move that has to be done like this, it is also a necessary move.

A long time ago, Han Xuan told Xu Beiyou a very crude truth, a very realistic truth that was inconsistent with the Dao of Saints.

At that time, Han Xuan took Xu Beiyou to Danxiazhai to buy books. On the way back, he happened to meet a squire who contributed money and labor to build a bridge for a small river. Not wanting to be such a kind person, Xu Beiyou, who was still young at that time, naturally said that he wanted to be such a kind person, and then Han Xuan said a very intriguing sentence.

He said: "People in the world always say that there is a golden belt for murder and arson, and there are no remains for repairing bridges and roads. As everyone knows, if you want to be a good person who repairs bridges and repairs roads, you must first be a wicked person who kills and arson."

Xu Beiyou didn't know it at the time, but after experiencing a lot of things in the world, he slowly discovered a lot of flavors.

Counting since Xu Beiyou left Danxiazhai for Zhongdu, he learned three things, namely rules, principles and responsibilities.

Life is alive, obey the rules, be reasonable, and take responsibility.

There is no good or evil in rules, right or wrong in reason, and right or wrong in responsibility.

There is no rule without rules, and no rules without reason. Under the principles and rules, everyone assumes their own responsibilities, comes and goes, and is busy.

After all, there are only a small number of people who can be born in this world, and the vast majority of people still have to struggle in this dunya.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and the sun fell on Xu Beiyou's body, making him feel warm all over. Xu Beiyou closed his eyes subconsciously, as if he wanted to take a nap.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Beiyou suddenly felt the light dim, and a shadow covered the sunlight.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a person riding a horse with his back to the sun, unable to see his face clearly. The brilliant golden sunlight seemed to coat her body with a layer of gold, like a bodhisattva with a backlight in a Buddhist family.

The visitor sat high on the horse, wearing a large cloak that largely eliminated gender, and said with a smile: "Hey, do you know how to get to the ancient battlefield in Danxiao Village?"
