Legend of the Knight

Chapter 259 The end of an era
Why did the three of them kneel immediately after Wu Xiazi finished speaking, because from Wu Xiazi's tone, he seemed to be explaining the funeral.

Everyone understands that Wuxiazi's time is running out, and every word he says may be his last words.

Today, Wuxiazi was in a good spirit. After everyone had finished what they had to say, he took advantage of the excitement and told the three of them about the origin of the Tianlong Sect that he knew about himself. two people.

"You don't know that fighting with martial arts is Li Cangtian's dream and long-cherished wish when he founded his religion." Wu Xiazi sighed and said, "I was not young at that time, and I was still very stubborn. people.

Looking back, if everyone could sit down and talk about it first, many of the things that happened later would not have happened again. "

Wu Xiazi said to Weiming: "The reason why the teacher doesn't allow students to join the Tianlong Cult is because the teacher doesn't like Li Canglong's style, I think he will be defeated sooner or later.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that so many things happened in the Central Plains one after another. In fact, we are no better than Li Canglong. "

Then, Wu Xiazi told the three of them why he felt that there were only four forces that could turn the tide.

One is the emperor.

The emperor is the ruler of the Central Plains dynasty, and he represents the power of the court.

In the final analysis, whether the world is governed well or badly, the imperial court has at least eighty-nine percent of the power, and the representative who can decide the imperial court's strategy for governing the country is the emperor.

"However, this gentleman is like Yang Guang. Although he has high aspirations and talents, he is very ambitious and excessively squeezes the country's power. Maybe the things they do are successful in the present and benefit in the future, but they will not be able to overcome the current hurdle.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was said that there were "Eighteen Ways against the King, and 64 Ways of Smoke and Dust", which shows that the people's hearts have been lost, and the hearts of the people have been lost.

I'm not far behind at this point. "

If Wu Xiazi's words spread, it would at least be a crime of disrespect. He dared to accuse the emperor of being like Yang Guang.

You know, Emperor Sui Yang is now rated as a tyrant through the ages, and his notoriety is only after Shang Zhou.

The second is the king of sincerity.

The reason why Wu Xiazi rated King Cheng as the second is that Wu Xiazi told the three apprentices that he knew from various sources that the current emperor is not in good health, and there is no prince in the court.

If the emperor dies, King Cheng is very likely to ascend the throne.

King Cheng has always been known as a virtuous king, with a gentle temperament, loves the people like a son, and has great talents in governing the country. Because of this, he is also tabooed by the current emperor.

If King Cheng can rule the world, he will certainly be able to reverse the current extreme squeeze on the power of the people.

As long as the national policy can be eased a little, the people here can live a better life, and they will all live in peace.
The third is the king of heaven.

If the Heavenly King faction can rescue Li Cangtian again and allow the Heavenly King to regain control of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the imminent war between the Central Plains Wulin and the Heavenly Dragon Sect might be alleviated.

As long as the Wulin is not chaotic, it is always a good thing for the stability of the world.

The last one is Shennong Baicaomen.

Although Shennong Baicaomen is not so effective, it can benefit the people of one side.

Just like what Huang Xiaoshi said, in the area covered by the Shennong Baicaomen business road, the common people have food to eat when they are hungry, and medicine to eat when they are sick.

However, when the manpower was exhausted, the general situation of the world finally fell on the court.

In this way, the four of them talked and chatted under the lamp until it was almost dawn.

At this time, Wu Xiazi felt a little tired and wanted to rest for a while, so the three apprentices bowed and withdrew.

In the small courtyard, the three of them didn't say a word about what happened in the hut just now. These things are really not suitable for the fifth person to know.

Originally, Huang Xiaoshi planned to rush back to Luoyang City overnight, but after a day of hard work, he was also exhausted, so he planned to spend the night in Xiaoyao Valley. Anyway, there are many new guest rooms in Xiaoyao Valley, and they are still vacant.

Gu Yuexuan and Weiming went to fetch bedding for Huang Xiaoshi, after Huang Xiaoshi made the bed, he yawned and fell on the bed.

Originally, he was just a little tired, but just as his head touched the pillow, a wave of tiredness surged up. Huang Xiaoshi heard himself snoring in a daze, and then he didn't know anything.

……

early morning.

Huang Xiaoshi, who has always had the habit of sleeping late, was suddenly awakened in his sleep, and Gu Yuexuan rushed into his room.

Seeing Gu Yuexuan's face, Huang Xiaoshi was shocked, his whole body trembled, and he lost all sleepiness.

"Master passed away."

Gu Yuexuan's words made Huang Xiaoshi jump up from the bed.

In fact, last night Huang Xiaoshi vaguely sensed that something was wrong, a person who had been ill for a long time suddenly regained his energy, this is called backlighting.

The patients who come back to life are often in very good spirits, and they look like they have recovered from a serious illness, because the body will improve immediately and the mood will be very good. At this time, the patient will be very talkative.

When the strength is over and the patient feels tired again, he often dies as soon as he sleeps again.

……

Every day, Wang Rong served Wu Xiazi's three meals a day, because Wu Xiazi didn't sleep very well after being seriously ill, and she only squinted a little when it was almost dawn, so Wang Rong would go a few more times to see if he got up. trip.

Today, Wang Rong went to knock on Wuxiazi's door twice, but Wuxiazi didn't answer. The third time, Wang Rong didn't agree, so she opened the door and took a peek.

Seeing that Wuxiazi was sleeping soundly, Wang Rong was about to step back to close the door, suddenly an ominous feeling rose in her heart, so Wang Rong pushed the door open abruptly, and walked to Wuxiazi's bed in a few steps.

When Wang Rong grabbed Wu Xiazi's hand, she only felt a burst of coldness.

Wuxiazi had passed away in her sleep for a long time.

……

In the courtyard, Weiming's head was tied with a torn Xiaopa made of white cloth, and he was kneeling on the ground to burn paper. Huang Xiaoshi rushed over and kicked the incense candle holder away.

"you!"

Everyone was shocked by Huang Xiaoshi's actions, and they didn't know why he was going crazy.

"Take out the big red candle and light it!" Huang Xiaoshi yelled at Wei Ming, "This is a happy event, why are you crying!"

It is recorded in "Book of Books Hong Fan": There are five blessings in life, one is longevity, the other is wealth, the third is Kangning, the fourth is cultivating virtue, and the fifth is the final life of examination.

Later, the world's definition of the Five Blessings gradually changed to "Fu Lu Shou Kang End", among which "End", also known as "Good End", is the most difficult blessing among the Five Blessings.

There are many people in this world who have "Fu, Lu, Shou, and Kang", but it is often difficult to achieve a good death.

For a highly respected person like Wu Xiazi, a good death is the highest evaluation of his life. This is a person with "five blessings".

This is a happy funeral, and it must be handled according to the happy event.

Huang Xiaoshi's foot and voice made everyone who was dazzled by the great sadness wake up.

Afterwards, the unused red candles from Gu Yuexuan's wedding were dug out and lit on the incense table.Huang Xiaoshi went to chop a lot of old bamboos and came back, and put them on the firewood pile in the yard. With the sound of firecrackers, people in the valley gradually surrounded him.

Sir is gone.

……

Huang Xiaoshi took the opportunity to go to Luoyang to buy supplies and went home. He went to the barbarian store to find Ji Wushuang, but Ji Wushuang was not there.

Afterwards, Huang Xiaoshi left a few words for the clerk in the store, telling him to tell Ji Wushuang to her as soon as he got home.

In the following time, Huang Xiaoshi was busy with Wuxiazi's funeral, first the first seven, then the second seven.

It's not just about the funeral, Huang Xiaoshi also needs to help the government to change the land deed of Xiaoyao Valley.

According to government regulations, land deeds, land deeds, house deeds, etc. are inherited from father to son, and no special changes are required.But Wu Xiazi is not Gu Yuexuan's biological father, so this procedure still has to go through.

The most troublesome thing to change the land deed, land deed and house deed is to ask someone to go to the field to measure it, and it needs to be matched one by one without any disputes.

It was also thanks to Huang Xiaoshi's relatives in Luoyang that he managed to get things done before the end of the year.

After the dust settled, Huang Xiaoshi finally returned to Shennong Baicaomen. Ji Wushuang had been waiting for him in his yard for many days.

Seeing Ji Wushuang, Huang Xiaoshi was annoyed, and he said to Ji Wushuang, "Didn't I tell you not to go back to the barbarian store? That store has been exposed, and if you reappear, your identity will also be exposed."

"So, I'm here with you." Ji Wushuang stretched his waist and said: "I did a big thing, I returned 5000 taels of silver from the barbarian's shop, and now the shop It has nothing to do with me."

The method of collecting shares has been around since ancient times, but it was before starting a business and opening a store, and Huang Xiaoshi issued shares after operating for a period of time.

It was also because of the rule of joining together that Huang Xiaoshi's offer of shares was so easily accepted by the common people.

Ji Wushuang said that she had resigned, and from now on, whether the barbarian shop would care about him as the Tianlong Sect or the Earth Dragon Sect, it would have nothing to do with her.

"Ah?" But when Huang Xiaoshi heard it, he was still surprised. How did Ji Wushuang come up with this method.

You didn't do this before, maybe it was just because you didn't open your mind.

After Huang Xiaoshi showed off all kinds of coquettish moves, his classic moves were immediately learned by the people around him.

"I told them that my mother is going to get married. Now everyone in Luoyang knows that there is a bearded girl with a dowry of 5000 taels waiting for you to marry her. Are you going to marry her?" Ji Wushuang turned to Huang Xiaoshi asked half coquettishly.

Ji Wushuang said that the barbarian store has nothing to do with her. This is just an argument. As long as she is still a Yasha, the Yasha tribe can be regarded as her family.

But on the bright side, this reasoning is reasonable, and no one can find anything wrong with it.

"Here, marry, definitely marry." Huang Xiaoshi's mind turned quickly, his wife had already arrived at the door, he dared to say nothing, and the days to come would not be passed.

……

On the last day of the new year, Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng released several lists that everyone has been waiting for, among which the most concerned ones are the Central Plains School List and the Martial Arts Rookie List.

Let's talk about the martial arts rookie list first, the top ten are: Shang Jingzhong, Fang Yunhua, Huang Xiaoshi, Dongfang Weiming, Gu Yuexuan, Fu Jianhan, Jiang Yu, Xuzhen, Yang Yun, Xiao Yao.

Compared with last year, there are some more people on the list and some fewer people, and the rankings on the list have changed a bit.

Shang Jingzhong jumped from Ji Ji Wuming to the top position, Fang Yunhua was still in the second place, but Huang Xiaoshi was squeezed to the third place.

At this time, there was one more Jiang Yu on the list, and he was ranked seventh.

On last year's list, Thorn, who ranked sixth, and Yan Yu, who ranked seventh, have disappeared.

Central Plains martial arts list, the last few will not be mentioned, the ranking from front to back is:
Shennong Baicaomen, Wudang School, Beggars' Gang, Shaolin Temple, Tiangangmen, Huashan School, Xiaoyao Valley.

When this list came out, everyone was in an uproar.

First of all, the Tianlong Cult, which was still at the top of the list last year, disappeared. This is understandable. It may be that the Tianlong Cult has returned to the Western Regions, so it is not counted in the Central Plains list.

However, Shennong Baicaomen suddenly emerged and rushed to the top position in only one year, while Xiaoyao Valley, which had always occupied the top spot before, was ranked second even if it was overwhelmed by Tianlong Sect last year.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, Xiaoyaogu fell to the seventh place after two disciples betrayed the valley and Wuxia's son died peacefully. You must know that the eighth place is the little-known Sea Shark Gang.

The Tianshan sect disappeared directly from the top ten list, and the entire sect disappeared in the long river of history.

On New Year's Eve, when the old is leaving the old and welcoming the new, the release of these two lists announced the end of an old era and the advent of a new era.
