Dao Fruit

The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way, and the willows and flowers are dark and the flowers are bright in another village. ︾w.

After Qiu Yan said this, he stopped and fell silent, but it made Wu Meng and Sun Xun feel very different and gave birth to hope.

But in fact, Qiu Yan did not agree to anything.

Things in this world are like this. Wu Meng and Sun Xun talked constantly along the way, each with their own characteristics. Wu Meng acted willfully, spoke uninhibitedly, and often went straight to the point, while Sun Xun was soft yet strong, citing scriptures and revealing his insights. extensive.

But the two people said a thousand or ten thousand words, but they were not as good as Qiu Yan's two sentences. One sentence made people's hearts sink, one sentence made people's thoughts soar, one word meant death, and one word meant life. Miraculous, like a supernatural power.

However, it was not magic power or power that caused this almost magical effect, but Qiu Yan himself.

On the other side, after receiving Qiu Yan's answer, Sun Xun and Wu Meng did not press ahead. He knew that accepting a disciple was not a trivial matter. Since he was not the disciple according to Qiu Yan's calculations, he could not expect to be successful overnight. Besides, even if it was calculated, People, Qiu Yan, can't blindly follow cause and effect and just join his sect. He must take some exams.

Sun Xun understands this even more, because he comes from a wealthy family. Although he has a relatively close bloodline, he showed his talent at an early age and received key training, and he soon rose to prominence in the southern family.

Sun Yong, a descendant of the Sun family who entered Shilin in the past, is somewhat nobler than Sun Xun in terms of bloodline. However, if Sun Yong could live to this day, his status would not be as good as Sun Xun. This is the way of inheritance of a large family. In order to stabilize the family, even collateral lines and branches can also have the opportunity to rise to power, although they are still restricted to a certain extent.

As for those aristocratic families with serious internal strife that even their elders could not suppress, and even those who were themselves participants, they have long been lost in the long river of history.

How many of the families that have survived to this day are of the Yi family?

Sun Xun can achieve today's status. After passing the school examination again and again, he conformed to the thoughts of most people in the Sun family, gained recognition, was promoted by everyone, and achieved great success and luck, so that he could stand here.

Of course, this is different from the new magical power Sun Baibian who appeared in their family. This is a story for later.

But he said that Sun Xun came here this time just to complete a family task. Assisting Qiu Yan, he gained a little bit of a head start in the sudden change in the sky. However, as soon as he came into contact with him, he admired what Qiu Yan had learned and wanted to become his disciple. Now that he was singled out by Qiu Yan, he also knew that he would show off next. Out of sincerity, in addition to sincerity. He has nothing to compare with Qiu Yan.

But on the other hand, he was also curious about the meaning of Qiu's words, the theory of cause and effect. It is very mysterious to ordinary people and cannot be easily accessed, but to monks who have masters, sects, or outstanding disciples of aristocratic families like him. But it's hardly a secret.

"Master Marquis, I don't know that the words of karma and destiny in your mouth are not limited to the number of five people. Could it be that you want to act against heaven?"

Even if they study wisely and respect ghosts and gods, many scholars still have scruples in their hearts. After hearing Qiu Yan's words, Sun Xun also had doubts.

"There is cause and effect between heaven and earth. Even the gods cannot get rid of it. Instead, as the divine level is improved, step by step, only when the strength is enough and the mind is enlightened can we gradually get rid of the entanglement of cause and effect, but it is still difficult. Cut off."

Upon hearing the inquiry, Qiu Yan kept his personal secrets and spoke slowly and logically, without any worries in his words. He calmly talked about the things about gods and ghosts, which made Sun Xun and Wu Meng frightened.

"Every cause has an effect. What you do will continue to affect the surroundings, change the situation, environment and other people's opinions, and ultimately feed back to yourself. This is the basis for deduction. Of course, on this basis, supplemented by extraordinary knowledge By using more force, we can get more accurate results. However, this result makes us more and more trapped in it, just like a bug flying from its original freedom, falling into the spider web, and then becoming more and more entangled. The tighter."

As he spoke, Qiu Yan became silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing his expression, Sun Xun and Wu Meng both consciously held their breath and concentrated, not disturbing his thoughts. At the same time, they were also thinking about the meaning of Qiu's words. However, such words have no cause and effect, and it is difficult to pass them through simple words. Think and get the value.

After a while, Qiu Yan spoke again: "Today you two become disciples, I will keep them in mind. If the time comes, you can take them under my sect."

These words made Wu Meng and Sun Xun happy, but before they could say anything, the carriage jolted suddenly, and then the sound of investigation came from outside the carriage.

This voice brought Wu Meng and Sun Xun back to reality, reminding them that the world outside the car was now in chaos, and the legendary apocalypse was looming.

This is a very wonderful feeling. Listening to Qiu Yan's words makes them feel otherworldly, as if they are isolated from the world, but once the words end, they will eventually return to the real world.

This is the jolt that occurs when horses and carriages pass through the city gate.

"It turns out to be the Marquis of Dingguo. I have been told by the superiors that when you arrive, you can go directly to the political hall..." The sound of inspection came from outside the car, and Qiu Yan lowered the curtain.

A group of people entered the city.

"Master, are you going to the Political Hall?" At this time, the driver driving the carriage asked.

"No, go home first. As the saying goes, you must first settle down your family before you can serve your country with peace of mind. Now that the world has changed, I feel uneasy even thinking about it. I will go and take it easy."

After giving these instructions, Qiu Yan said to Wu Meng and Sun Xun: "You two will also stay in my house first."

"Yes." Both of them responded respectfully, just like students facing their teachers.

The carriages and horses stopped and went, but it was not smooth. From time to time, many trivial things could be seen along the way, which were derived from the chaotic crowds stirred up by the changes. Among them were not only ordinary people, but also those who The family members of dignitaries are also fearful and fearful.

After passing through the chaotic crowd, Qiu Yan arrived at the door of his house. The boy at the door was looking anxiously. As soon as he saw the carriage approaching, he immediately greeted him——

Obviously, the news of Qiu Yan's return reached the house faster than a carriage.

"Master, you are finally back."

The boy's face was filled with anticipation, and he could still see a little panic from his brows, but it was also washed away by the joy in his eyes.

"After I leave, will the family be safe? Have these changes in the world disturbed the peace of the house?" Qiu Yan got off the carriage and asked directly.

"Going back to the master, the family is generally fine. It's just that there are changes in the world, and there are always all kinds of news coming. Many of them about you, master, make the old master and the old lady worried a lot. Fortunately, the wife and the eldest son are safe. There is not much confusion in people’s hearts.”

"That's good." Qiu Yan said, entering his mansion and leaving half an hour later. By this time, he had already changed into court clothes and went straight to the palace.

In the palace, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Prince all received the news of Qiu Yan's return and had been waiting in the palace for a long time. As soon as they heard the message from the people below, they immediately followed Qiu Yan into the palace.

Eunuch Wei personally came forward and led Qiu Yan to the emperor's palace so that Qiu Yan could see the emperor's remains. The two did not talk to each other on the way.

"Qiu Shangshu is here..."

When they saw Qiu Yan, the Queen Mother and the Empress led him to the palace with sad expressions and asked him to see the emperor's remains. However, at this time, they mainly asked the ministers to bid farewell to the emperor in a formal way, but it was more expressive. Not much sincerity.

Moreover, the purpose of the Queen Mother was not that. After a set of etiquette was completed, the Queen Mother began to ask in a low voice. Her inner meaning was nothing more than to ask Qiu Yan if she could contact him again just like last time. To the gods, the emperor was brought back to life.

But the results were, of course, disappointing.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother was mentally prepared. The changes in the sky these days had long been linked to the emperor's death, which added a lot of legitimacy to the matter, as if it was destined by heaven and earth.

In addition, as time passed, the news of the emperor's death had long been spread out. They wanted to hide it, but they couldn't. As time went by, the queen mother, empress and others struggled with the changes in heaven and earth, and their emotions became complicated. As a result, they looked down upon this sad thing, and realized that life and death were irreversible. So after Qiu Yan made it clear, the Queen Mother and others did not insist, but just sighed.

This was also the right time for Qiu Yan to come. If it had been when the emperor had just closed his eyes, the queen mother and empress would definitely not be so easy to talk to.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she ordered the prince to get closer to Qiu Yan, and then said: "Shang Shu is far away, and it should be easy to rest, but now that the world is changing and the country is in turmoil, it is really inseparable from important ministers like Shangshu, so I’d like to help you more.”

"This is the duty of a minister," Qiu Yan responded, and continued, "It's just that in troubled times, heavy rules should be used. Now that the world is different and people's minds have changed, not only the people are restless, but even the upper and lower officials are probably restless. If you really let me govern, it will inevitably affect all parties. I hope the Queen Mother and the Empress can trust me. As for how many people I will offend during this period and the consequences, I will naturally bear this myself. "

"This..." The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this. Although she was an old woman, she was of high status. From Qiu Yan's seemingly ordinary words, she could hear the bloody storm, and she understood the offense in his words. , what was he referring to, and said: "If it really arouses hatred, how can I let you, Minister, suffer the consequences?"

"It doesn't matter." Qiu Yan shook his head, "What I have to do next is also meaningful to me. It is an important chapter in experiencing humanity. It is inevitable and there is no need to avoid it."

Having said this, he turned to the prince and said: "I also know the heart of the prince. Since he is the future emperor, I will definitely assist you to fulfill my kindness and the emperor's kindness. However, my current official position is not enough. In addition, I From now on, I hope the prince will understand that he will sit in the government for ten years, and after ten years, he will return to his official position and return to the field to read all the humane books."
