Commander's Destiny

Chapter 51

Speaking of this apprentice, Qinglong God Meng Zhangjun always has an indescribable envy. Maybe his carefree style of indulging in mountains and rivers is what I yearn for the most, even if his actions make me punished by the heaven, I still can't hate him, and every time I recall the farewell in Chang'an, it feels like a lifetime away.

Qinglong God Meng Zhangjun pulled back his wandering thoughts, and continued to recall: "Although I am a god of the East, I have lived in the river and sea for a long time because of my duties. After a long time, I always want to go to land to see novelty To listen to new stories and taste newly brewed wine, it is inevitable to go to some metropolises at that time, such as Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty."

Jiang Qianfeng likes to listen to stories the most. He giggled and said, "Unexpectedly, Qinglong Shenjun, you are like me, and you really like to play?"

"No, you think gods are old things. Anyway, I'm different from those old guys who are engaged in power struggles all day long. I just like to have a good time. Don't interrupt me, let me continue," Azure Dragon God Meng said. Zhang Jun teleported behind Jiang Qianfeng, tapped his small head, then walked slowly with his hands behind his back and said, "That time when I came to Chang'an City, I found that the Tang Dynasty had changed another emperor, and he was still the emperor. I thought it was a novelty, so I stayed for a while longer, wanting to hear more about her story, so I stayed in a restaurant and inn. After playing for about ten days, I am already satisfied. Have a drink in my afternoon When he was about to leave, a scholar who was rushing for the exam suddenly came to the store. This scholar is no longer a young man, he looks like he is over 40 years old. No, after I sat down, I only ordered a glass of vegetarian wine and didn’t order any appetizers. I saw that he was at such a low age, and he went all the way to the capital to catch the exam. He was probably an official fan, so I wanted to play tricks on him, After turning around and leaving, I didn’t go far away, but cast a spell on the spot and turned into an old beggar and entered the inn again. I went straight to the scholar’s ​​wine table and asked him for a drink.”

"Qinglong Shenjun, you are really good. I never imagined that you, a great god, would actually make fun of a poor literati." Bai Wuyan really didn't expect Qinglong Shenjun to have such a side, but after sucking his teeth, he He listened with relish.

"Hey, I didn't mean to embarrass him. I just thought that if he was stingy and refused to give, I could justifiably ridicule him in front of everyone, but I didn't expect that not only did he let me sit down and have a drink, He even ordered me something to eat." Qinglong Shenjun raised his voice several octaves after speaking, as if he was still immersed in the surprise of that year.

"What food?" As soon as food was mentioned, Jiang Qianfeng naturally became interested again.

"The scholar said that he was from Shanxi and loved to eat rice cakes, so he recommended a ration called yellow cakes to me. I heard from him that this yellow cake was made by steaming yellow rice with his fist dipped in cold water. It takes at least an incense stick of time to make it, so I chatted with him. Naturally, I don’t care about this yellow cake, and I only took a sip of the vegetarian wine he offered. I just ate Chang’an City The latest popular delicacies camel hoof soup, raw mutton, cherry porridge and fairy porridge, not to mention his poor hospitality, I don't even look down on the delicacies on the tables of other guests." Qinglong Shenjun vividly The narration seems to have brought everyone back to the inn in Chang'an City, among the wine tables full of guests, and in front of the lively and fragrant dishes.

"However, this scholar's learning and demeanor are indeed unusual, which attracted me. So I looked at him carefully again with extraordinary eyes. I didn't expect that he is not only talented, but also has a sense of immortality. He is a lovely person. However, if he continues to waste his time like this, even if he lives to the best of his ability, he will only be a marquis and a minister for [-] or [-] years in a hurry," Qinglong Shenjun sighed, and continued, "When I think about it, I At that time, he had a heart of compassion and wanted to help him out of the sea of ​​suffering, so he let him have a dream. In the dream, he rose to the top, not only became the current imperial son-in-law, the official worshiped the prime minister, and was also the secretary of the household department, he was named the Duke of Yan , and gave birth to five children with the princess, all of them were high-ranking officials and generously paid, and married wealthy families."

"What's next? What's next?" Jiang Qianfeng listened to the content of the dream, and couldn't wait to know what happened next.

"Later, I reckoned that his dream was about to be finished, and I thought it was time to leave early, but the yellow rice cakes he ordered hadn't been served yet, so I dipped a little vegetarian wine in the glass and wrote ten words on the table. Four words: Huangliang is a dream that can be broken, and you should come to Lushan to find immortals."

"Could this be the legendary Huangliang Yimeng?"

"Yes, after I left, he continued to have sweet dreams. In his dreams, he finally died of a long illness and died after his eightieth birthday, when his children and grandchildren were full of glory and wealth. At this time, he just woke up from the dream. Seeing the words I left on the table is like waking up from a big dream."

"Even if a life in a hurry is beautiful, in this vast world, it is just as short as a fleeting moment."

"False meaningless, like a thousand-year dream, is both real and illusory, and becomes empty in an instant."

"Although everyone has different goals, and even gods have obsessions, the pursuit of value beyond oneself is more meaningful."

"Although you don't want to be immortal, you can also be blessed for thousands of years."

Qinglong Shenjun finished speaking word by word, and then turned to say quietly: "I don't know how much this scholar has penetrated, but decades later, I inspected the river system again, and when I passed Lushan Mountain, I found him again."

At that time, he was on the top of Lushan Mountain, fighting against the vine demon. He had the appearance of a fairy faintly, showing the meaning of ascension. I saw him eliminate evil and promote good, and benefit the common people, so I gave him the green dragon sword in my hand, and taught him again. His five strokes of Qinglong Sword Intent help him slay demons and demons. "

"My apprentice's surname is Lu, and his real name is Yanzi. Since I have accepted him as an apprentice, he can naturally build a cave, establish a sect, and I see that he has cultivated the righteous way, and he has seen the true meaning of my yellow beam dream. Remembering that he had treated me as a guest in the past, he gave him a title: Dongbin."

"Okay, okay, I met guests in the fairy cave, and the friendship between master and apprentice is deep."

Jiang Qianfeng and Bai Wuyan were only applauding, but it was Yao Jingli who came to his senses first: "Lu Dongbin? You mean that Lu Zu is your apprentice, and your apprentice who took away the soul fragment is Lu Zu?"
