Blind date in time and space.

Chapter 138
"The fallen leaves are piled up, the cold smoke is light, and I heard someone crying, 'Sister, I'm late, you died so badly'"

"Take alms bowl and go around begging for alms, walking around the streets..."

"Every year, the moon shines on the travelers, how many lamps and how many are lying dead?"

In the study room, accompanied by Xia Shumin's clear and melodious reading sound, Chen Ji probably listened to the entire plot of the next forty chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" she wrote.

Chen Ji didn't study the Dream of Red Mansions deeply, and didn't study all kinds of foreshadowing and hidden clues carefully.

But it can also be heard that the content of Xia Shumin's continuation, the writing and poems are very true to the original Cao Gong, and various bizarre plots come one after another, and the tragedies of the characters are displayed one by one, which makes Chen Ji deeply shocked.

There are many plots that impress him.

For example, in the TV series Chen Ji watched before, Wang Xifeng said that I was late when he appeared on the stage for the third time. In Xia Shumin's continuation, Wang Xifeng came back after death and said that I was late.

After listening to it, he only felt that the mountains and rivers were broken, and the hatred of the family and the country came together. No one in the book can escape, which really corresponds to the saying in the Red Mansion, "It's so clean to leave a piece of white land!", and the following "The bones are like a mountain and the surname is forgotten".

However, since Xia Shumin hates barbarian invasion the most, maybe she added her own subjective feelings into it when she continued writing.

But Chen Ji has also heard that some people interpret the Dream of Red Mansions as the history of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and Lin Daiyu reflects Chongzhen.

There is no way to verify whether it is true or false.

From the perspective of "Dream of Red Mansions" as a novel, Xia Shumin's continuation version is qualified and can be read by people.

After all, apart from Mr. Cao himself, everyone else's continuation is just a fan.

Don't ask too much for fan works.

"whee."

Cui Zhu, who came in to deliver tea, couldn't help laughing and said, "Young master, you don't know that after the publication of the "Dream of Red Mansions" continued by the young lady, it sold like crazy in Yongkang City, and many people from other counties came here on horseback. When I came to the book, I huddled in the teahouse and listened to the scholars. I heard it many times from morning to night.

Chen Ji burst out laughing, this is the so-called die-hard fan, right?

Xia Shumin blushed, pushed the two maids out and closed the study door.

When she sat back on the opposite chair with a blushing face again, Chen Ji asked with a smile: "I'm curious, Shumin, how did you continue the Dream of the Red Chamber? This book tells a lot about human relationships and the world, and the words are penetrating. It is not through family hatred It cannot be written."

The author of Dream of Red Mansions in this world has also been researched, and it is not certain that it is Cao Xueqin.

Xia Shumin replied in a low voice: "Dream of the Red Chamber has been written for many years, and many people have continued to write it. Shumin is just picking up people's wisdom... Besides, the plot of Dream of the Red Chamber is naturally obtained in a dream."

When she continued the Dream of the Red Chamber, many of the plots were written after waking up the next morning, as if it was too illusory.

Chen Ji wanted to chat with her about publishing her sequel book. How come he also has a company now, so he should do something serious.

Just about to speak, Cui Zhu's voice came from outside the door:

"Miss, madam, master asked you to come over."

"Here we come~! Is it for dinner? Young Master, please~"

Xia Shumin put down the Dream of Red Mansions, with a rather happy expression, and went out side by side with Chen Ji.

She thought she was going to have dinner, and told Chen Ji on the way that her father was always busy with various matters in Yongkang City recently.

A large number of people from Jianghu and Wulin stayed in the city. Even though they did not dare to make big moves because they were afraid of the land gods, they still caused a lot of troubles.

result.

After arriving, Xia Shumin discovered that someone had come to visit.

Chen Ji saw four people sitting in the room. Apart from Xia Shumin's parents, there was a man in gorgeous clothes, and another old man with a feminine face and a beardless chin.

After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that I had seen their appearance in divine thoughts:
It was the prince Lu Huai who visited the Xia Mansion last time, and the emperor Liu Xian of the Three Dynasties, Eunuch Liu.

These two people are in high positions. When they saw Chen Ji and Xia Shumin, they just gave them a look. Prince Lu Huaiwen sat on the chair, looked at Xia Shumin with a smile and said:

"Auntie, this is Cousin Shumin, right?"

Eunuch Liu put his hands on the armrests of the mahogany chair, and looked at Chen Ji calmly, as if observing his walking posture and breathing intensity, so as to infer his martial arts skills.

However, after seeing Chen Ji, both Xia Yongcheng and Lu Rui stood up, Xia Yongcheng took the initiative to greet him, and said with a smile on his face, "Your nephew is here?"

This move made Eunuch Liu a little surprised. The elders actually took the initiative to be polite to the younger generation?
Just now, Xia Yongcheng already knew the identity of his wife. After the initial shock, he was very open and understood what his wife did.

Unexpectedly, but now to a young man...

wrong.

Liu Xian suddenly realized that Princess Anping stood up to greet him as a show of respect?

He knew from the early years that Anping Princess Lu Rui's temperament was full of rebellion, even the imperial palace dared to fly in and out.

But now...

"Come and see my uncle and aunt."

Chen Ji smiled, "I didn't expect other guests to be here, so I'll wait in the garden first?"

Hongyeshan Xiafu is used for vacation. There are many gardens and they are all beautifully maintained.

"There's nothing else, we're done talking."

Lu Rui's words were actually seeing off guests in disguise.

Xia Shumin blinked, didn't you call me?
I haven't seen my cousin yet.

But, well, forget it, it's not interesting to look at this cousin, just recognize his face.

"Auntie, is this young hero...?"

It makes sense for Lu Huai to call Shaoxia instead of Xiongtai.

Shaoxia is the title of Jianghu people, and Jianghu people don't care about trivial matters, so Chen Ji, a young man, can appear in the backyard of Xiafu.

Both Lu Rui and Xia Yongcheng looked at Chen Ji, how should I explain it?
Eunuch Liu stood up from the mahogany chair and walked a few steps forward, with a smile on his old face: "The young man looks extraordinary, who is he to worship?"

Chen Ji was worrying about his lack of identity, so he just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and said with a slight smile, "Didn't you guys keep talking about my master a while ago?"

"A while ago?"

Both Lu Huai and Eunuch Liu were taken aback.

"It's also discussed these days." Xia Shumin suppressed a smile, his tone became respectful, looked at Chen Ji and said, "Young Master Master is the one who opened the gate of heaven with his sword, and the dragon and phoenix congratulated him. The Red Dust Immortal!"

Red Dust Immortal!

Prince Lu Huai subconsciously stood up.

Eunuch Liu's eyes lit up.

And Xia Shumin, who changed the terrestrial fairy to the mortal fairy, shook his shoulders with a suppressed laugh, and looked like he couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering.

Chen Ji didn't understand how she knew the name Hongchen Xian, it was the same as the realm setting in a novel he had read before.

Including land gods too.

"Oh, that's true!"

The wrinkles on Eunuch Liu's face were full of smiles, and he walked forward a few steps quickly, his waist seemed to be bent down, and he said with a smile: "No wonder the muddy old eyes of the miscellaneous family suddenly brightened after seeing the young master!!
It turns out that this handsome young man with a fairy air and a radiant and moonlike charm is actually a disciple of a fairy! "

This flattery... can only be said to be worthy of being the emperor of the Three Dynasties, with a strong ability to adapt to the wind.

Chen Ji knew that this Eunuch Liu, when he came to Xia Mansion last time, had an attitude of "a sacred order is hard to break", and expressed his approval of the emperor's sending troops to kill the real dragon.

As a result, after seeing Chen Ji's ten thousand Ren Qi hair, he immediately turned his head and flattered the old land gods.

Thinking about it seems understandable.

The real dragon can call the wind and rain, and its momentum is huge, but in the eyes of the world, it is probably just a divine beast, an auspicious beast, different from human beings.

The land gods were different. They annoyed the old gods and ran directly to the capital to kill the emperor.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, the forbidden army in the capital, and the 72 concubines of the Sixth Court of Sangong, can they still stop the old gods?
Therefore, Eunuch Liu flattered Chen Ji unequivocally, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all because he was the supreme master and the emperor's master of the three dynasties.

Chen Ji had a bad impression of him at first, but now that this flattery is over, he feels at ease physically and mentally.

It has to be said that the level of flattery of the top people in the palace is high, the first class is the highest.

"Immortal disciple..."

Prince Lu Huai was in a daze for a while, and then walked quickly, and cupped his hands towards Chen Ji: "It turns out that your Excellency is actually a disciple of the old land gods. I am in Lu Huai, and I am the Prince of Zhao. Disrespect, disrespect!"

In the ordinary ancient world, the current prince would never say such modest words as "my next".

But in the world of martial arts, the crown prince also had to show a certain amount of respect to the martial arts masters, and he had to condescend and lower his attitude to an unprecedented immortal disciple like Chen Ji.

"The prince is polite."

Chen Ji also bowed his hands to him politely, "Chen Ji, the sunny Ji after the rain."

The disciple of the immortal is so easy-going, completely different from the high-ranking posture he imagined.

Lu Huai thought a lot in his mind for a while, his smile became brighter, and he enthusiastically looked for topics to chat with.

Because of the emperor in the capital, Chen Ji was not in the mood to make friends with the prince.

After sitting down, he asked:
"I heard that the emperor wants to kill the real dragon?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Lu Rui and Xia Yongcheng looked at Lu Huai together.

Xia Shumin held the teacup and looked up.

"This one……"

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Huai's back, and his voice became hesitant: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, Brother Chen, you..."

"I don't think it's a misunderstanding."

Chen Ji said slowly: "There was an imperial decree to demote the real dragon into an evil dragon, and now there are [-] troops stationed in Hongye Mountain. It is clear at a glance what they intend to do."

Lu Huai gritted his teeth: "The army will be withdrawn tomorrow, brother Chen, please wait for a few more days, and when I report it to my father, I will definitely give you and my respected teacher a satisfactory answer!"

Now he is also riding a tiger.

He thought that the gods on land roamed around the world, ignoring common affairs, so he led the army to wait for the imperial decree to come down at the foot of Hongye Mountain before withdrawing.

As a result, the land god has an apprentice...

"Not for me, but for all people in the world."

Chen Ji said: "The real dragon did no evil after it appeared, but the emperor ordered it to be demoted as an evil dragon. This crime is one. He also sent a large army to take down the real dragon regardless of the heavy casualties of the soldiers, so as to complete the sitting dragon. The supreme position of the emperor, the crime is two.

If he persists in his obsession, he will definitely lose his heart and luck, and a person with the life of a real dragon will be officially born, who will drive your royal family, the Lu family, from the dragon chair! "

Lu Huai broke into a cold sweat.

Xia Shumin also said: "Having the fate of a real dragon does not necessarily mean that you are the emperor, but you may also be... an immortal."

Everyone looked at her.

Xia Shumin was a little nervous, but the young master was by the side, giving her a strong sense of security.

She also said: "In the ancient Shang Tang, the energy was not exhausted, but King Zhou was stupid and unreasonable, which caused the people to live in dire straits, and the energy declined rapidly. The country and the country were easily handed over in an instant. It can be seen that the energy is fluctuating, and it is closely related to all people in the world."

"Shu Min said it well!"

Chen Ji smiled and encouraged her to continue talking. Xia Shumin's confidence increased greatly, and she said in a crisp voice:

"If Cathay Pacific is safe, the fortune of the dynasty will last forever, and the hearts of the people will aspire.

When the people are in dire straits, and resentful spirits are everywhere, evil spirits will breed, causing chaos and chaos, leading to the rise of all heroes.

If the hearts of the people are there, what's the point of disrespecting the real dragon and not worshiping immortals? "

The more she spoke, the smoother she spoke, expressing all the thoughts she had learned from reading history books in the past, and the thoughts that she didn't dare to dictate to the court in the past.

The sound of the words fell like thunder from the sky, startling the dragons in the deep pool, and the colorful phoenixes flying.

Several people in the room were dumbfounded.

Chen Ji raised his head and looked out of the sky, and vaguely saw an impenetrable qi running across the sky and the earth. All living beings condensed a qi, which was connected with the qi of mountains, rivers and earth, forming a qi of heaven and earth that no one could see through.

The real dragon appeared and raised its head to look at the sky. Many people wandering around the deep pool saw the blurred scales and claws of the real dragon for the first time. They were so excited that they all worshiped and tried to find the land god who controlled the real dragon. old man!
inside the house.

Prince Lu Huai kept muttering "luck", "people's hearts" and "monsters" in his mouth, and then suddenly thought of Xia Shumin's words "disrespect the real dragon and don't worship the immortals", and then he shivered and came back to his senses.

"How dare you not worship immortals? Don't dare!"

He didn't speak very fluently, he bowed his hands stiffly to Chen Ji, expressed his apology, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Chen Ji looked at Xia Shumin with a strange expression.

Could it be that what the little lady said just now really set the fate of the dynasty and the number of days for the country to change?
and many more.

He said something similar just now.

"Son..."

Xia Shumin's white and tender little hands clutched the skirt on her knees, feeling a little uneasy: "Did the real dragon in the back mountain and the colorful phoenix in the orchard bark a few times just now?"

The colorful phoenix in the orchard?

Eunuch Liu, who was about to leave, stopped and was a little dumbfounded.

The Jianghu imperial court and those who came from all over the Western Regions tried their best to find out where the real dragon and colorful phoenix were.

But in the end, Caifeng stayed in the orchard in the backyard of the Xia Mansion well. According to the daughter of the princess, she could still see it every day.

The Red Dust Immortal, the Land Immortal, unexpectedly, unexpectedly...

"Master Chen!"

Eunuch Liu turned back again, with a bitter expression on his face, sighed again and again and said: "The real dragon happened to fly over the capital that day, but refused to stop for half a step. Your Majesty stood in front of the imperial study and was furious, that's why he did this. The imperial decree... Really, alas, Zajia should have advised His Majesty to ignore the matter of the real dragon, but His Majesty... Don't worry, Mr. Chen, the Zajia will definitely go forward and ask His Majesty to designate the real dragon as the Dragon of Protecting the Country!"

In the imperial study that day, he didn't say anything, it was His Majesty's will.

"I just don't know the old god... what should I seal?"

Eunuch Liu tentatively asked, he still had to find a way for His Majesty.

"My master is not interested in these."

Chen Ji roughly guessed what the old eunuch was thinking.

He is the supreme master, even if he offends the emperor, he can go away and escape into the rivers and lakes, but he is reluctant to bear the position of emperor master, and he is afraid of offending Chen Ji, so he speaks both ways.

"You tell him." Chen Ji said: "If he makes people miserable and the people complain, my master will definitely take action and change the emperor!"

After all, no matter how Liu Xian relayed this passage, Chen Ji waved him to leave.

"The old immortal is really a magnanimous and virtuous immortal! Miscellaneous family must tell His Majesty the truth, and after His Majesty's reply, Miscellaneous family will tell Mr. Chen!"

Liu Xian left contentedly.
