That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 848

Over the border of Zhili Prefecture, which is about five hundred miles away from the imperial capital.

After a loud bang, Zhang Baisui and Chen Ye separated. The black Taoist robe on Chen Ye's body had many folds and was dim in color, while Zhang Baisui's python robe had blood oozing out, blending with the pitch-black robe. As one, the color of the python robe became deeper and deeper.

Chen Ye shook the Xuan Banner in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Baisui, don't make mistakes!"

Zhang Baisui's expression is calm, and he knows that if he is in the imperial capital now, the outcome of the two sides will be between five and five, but now that they are far away from the imperial capital, if the two of them want to fight to the end, they will lose their geographical advantage and be weaker than their realm. There is no doubt that he will die.The only difference between fighting to the death is that it can cause multiple injuries to Chen Ye.

Of course, it would be the same if Chen Ye was in the Demon Suppressing Palace in Xuandu.

Chen Ye said slowly: "Jianzong is too strong and easy to break, but you are lonely and not long. Dragon and Tiger Pill Tao pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang. According to the theory, you can practice it without reason, and the reason why you can It is impossible for ordinary people, presumably because, as the number one follower of the dragon in the world, he can reconcile himself with the luck of the emperor, so that he can prove the way of longevity with his incomplete body."

Zhang Baisui turned his head to look in the direction of the imperial capital, and said calmly: "What the real man said is right, the luck of the emperor is the best thing in the world. Your Majesty uses it to prove longevity. Zhao Qing and I are from the dragon. People who use it to promote their own cultivation, in the final analysis, are all different routes leading to the same goal. It is a shortcut to the sky. Since it is a shortcut to mountaineering, it cannot be compared with the magnanimous thoroughfare. This dangerous path has many limitations, and even It’s a flaw, it’s the same when the new emperor died, and it’s the same when the Taizu emperor had to hide in the Ming Mausoleum.”

Chen Ye said coldly: "Since you know it, why are you so obsessed with it?"

Zhang Baisui looked back from the direction of the imperial capital, "At the beginning of the founding of Daqi, and even earlier in the Northwest era, I was already working in the palace of the central capital. At that time, the late Emperor Taiping was not born, and the great grandfather was still Xiping. Prince, at that time I was a nameless white, does the Daoist know what a nameless white is?"

Chen Ye remained silent.

Zhang Baisui smiled and said: "I think Dazheng, a noble son who has been making fusses in Wanjuan Dao Zang since he was a child, will never know such low-level things as Wumingbai, because the patriarch of Daoism can't teach, and he only wants to seek Daoism." Dazhen people will not look down. Let me tell Dazhen today what Wumingbai is."

"The reason why the word 'thing' is said is because eunuchs are incomplete and lowly people, but Wumingbai is even lower than eunuchs. What is Wumingbai? There are men who are not selected for purification, commonly known as Wumingbai, that is, The ancient selfish person. To put it bluntly, he purifies his body privately but cannot be selected into the palace, cannot be a eunuch, let alone a young eunuch or eunuch, this is Wumingbai."

"I was originally a child of a poor family in the capital city. In my early years, my elder brother died, and my parents both passed away. I couldn't live alone, so I made up my mind to purify myself in private, and wanted to go to the palace to find a job. At that time In my opinion, this palace is almost the same as the palace, and there must be young eunuchs in it. Unexpectedly, the prince at that time only had the wife of the wife, the princess, and the princess was jealous, so the prince had no three palaces or sixties at all. Courtyard. At that time, there were eight female officials in charge of the palace, of which four were civil and four were military. The literary was responsible for helping the princess to deal with the affairs of the palace. I am the head of the Four Swords Attendants. Under these eight female officials, there are nearly a thousand maids, soldiers, and several foreign government officials. How can I need any eunuchs? So back then, I became a nameless white in such a daze, suffering from cold and hunger. I fainted in an alley outside the back door of the palace, but it was a blessing in disguise. How could I know it was not a blessing? I happened to be spotted by Mo Shu who was returning to the mansion. Doing miscellaneous errands, I became the first eunuch in the palace."

"Later, the prince found out about this by accident, and the prince never gave up, so he asked me to be his personal entourage. So as the prince's career rose, I also rose. The prince went from the king of Xiping County to the king of Qi and then to the emperor of Daqi. I became the great grandfather, and I also went from Wumingbai to an eunuch to the supervisor of ceremonies, and became today's Mr. Ping An, Zhang Baisui."

Hearing such an experience, even Chen Ye felt a little touched, saying that the world is not benevolent and treats all things as dogs, which means that the world treats all people equally, regardless of high or low, regardless of origin, all have their own chances.Now it seems that this is really the case. Who would have thought that the humble Wumingbai back then would marry Mo Shu who saved his life after many years, and work together with Lan Yu, who was born in the public office for many times? After decades, he can even sit on an equal footing with his Taoist black-clothed head teacher.

The things in the world are made by chance, which is really wonderful.

Zhang Baisui said calmly: "Without the prince, there would be no Zhang Baisui today, and I, Zhang Baisui, have never been a cultivator, let alone a person who seeks longevity. I am just an eunuch. in the world."

Chen Ye smiled and said, "How can you live forever with your slave-like mentality of always living under others?"

Zhang Baisui was not angry, and retorted: "You monks are real men who stand up to the sky? What is the heaven on the top of your head? In front of God, you monks who claim to be noble and us eunuchs and eunuchs who were born in the mud What's the difference? Actually, it's no different, the legs are all kneeling, and the waist is bent."

Chen Ye fell silent again.

Zhang Baisui suddenly smiled and said: "You lost the chess piece in the imperial capital, what's the point of stopping me again? Unless you want to kill me here with your own hands, but if that's the case, your end will not be so good Where to go, don't even think about making a move for a year or so."

Chen Ye said softly: "It's too early to say what the situation in the imperial capital is like. After all, if Xu Beiyou is standing in front of Pindao at this time, even if he is seriously injured, Pindao will kill him."

Zhang Baisui said with a smile: "If the emperor's son-in-law is here, who will live and who will die may not be sure."

Chen Ye didn't refute, and thought for a moment, "He has Zhu Xian in his hand, if Xiao Zhinan handed over the Chuan Guoxi Seal to him, it would be really difficult for Pindao to kill him."

Zhang Baisui looked calm, stretched out two white palms from the big sleeves of the boa robe, and said: "I don't have any treasures, only these fleshy palms."

Chen Ye raised her head, in the night, covered by dark clouds, there was no bright moon, as if it was about to rain.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhang Baisui, "This year's snow came too early."

Zhang Baisui nodded and said, "It's a bit early."

As the words of the two fell, snow particles floated in the sky, rolled up in the wind, and whizzed past.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, from snow particles to snowflakes.

In the snowy night, Chen Ye said: "I won't kill you, the price is too high after all, but I want you not to set foot in the imperial capital within three days."

Zhang Baisui's expression was as usual, "I can't go to the imperial capital, and you can't go to the imperial capital either. Whoever wins and who loses there depends entirely on God's will."

Chen Ye didn't say anything more, but slowly raised the Xuan Banner in his hand.

The wind and snow between heaven and earth are drawn and gathered.

Zhang Baisui began to step forward, running wildly in the wind and snow.

If you take a closer look, you will find that there are countless snowfalls falling on Zhang Baisui's body, sticking to it but not falling.

A piece of snow is a talisman.

Bit by bit, the accumulation of little becomes more, and the accumulation of soil becomes a mountain.

After Zhang Baisui walked dozens of steps forward, he was forced to bend down as if a mountain was pressing on his body.

Scarlet blood began to flow from Zhang Baisui's seven orifices, but the old eunuch still rushed forward frantically. Every time his footsteps fell, there would be a circle of energy ripples visible to the naked eye, and there would be a dull and huge "drum sound" .

Resounded between heaven and earth.
