  Chapter 136 Taking People as a Mirror   Boom——

Boom——

Morning bell and evening drum.

The vigorous bells rang through the endless street market. The Princes and Princes of Linyuan City, Three Doctrines and Nine Philosophies, started a new day of busyness. The entire capital seems to be a little bigger, and Eastern, which is thousands of miles away. Flower City is not much different.

Within the imperial city, countless courtiers gathered in the main hall to discuss the affairs of the nations.

Zuo Lingquan wore a black fish scale armor, saber around waist, dressed as an Ouchi guard, standing under the Shiraishi Royal Road, waiting for the end of the morning meeting.

A lot of golden warriors from the Great Yan Dynasty stood on both sides of the imperial road. Although they were all dressed as secular soldiers, from the imposing manner, we can see that they were all martial cultivators, and they were all worn on their armors. With the emblem of Sharp Iron Mansion.

Sharp Iron Mansion is most famous for its one mace and one shield, because it is a weapon commonly used by Shangguan Old Ancestor. In fact, Sharp Iron Mansion has many cultivation paths, blade, spear, sword, halberd, battle axe There are hooks and forks, and the number of ways in which soldiers can go in battle. There are advances and no retreats, wide openings and closings. The word "sharp" of Sharp Iron Mansion is derived from "arrows", which means "arrows come out without looking back".

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the sun in the east gradually came to the heights of the sky, and there were a few more flowing clouds in the blue sky, and a "retreat" sounded from the palace.

Courtiers filed out. Jiang Yi, as an exotic Princess, was very courteous. He walked in front of the courtiers. He wore a gorgeous palace dress and walked in full steps, followed by Leng Zhu and a close mother. Laneige dressed up as a mother.

Zuo Lingquan stood with the sword, and after Jiang Yi passed in front of him, he followed Jiang Yi out of Miyagi and went to the Toffee Palace next door.

Jiang Yi maintained his majesty and majesty until he passed the palace gate and got on the car, his shoulders relaxed a little, and he raised his hand and patted his chest:    "The main hall of the Great Yan Dynasty is so big. There are about two or three hundred courtiers. I used to sit there and listen to the courtiers. I didn't think there was anything. I really stood there and listened to the announcement. Only then did I understand what'accompanied by the emperor is like a tiger'. The pressure is too great."

Leng Zhu stood outside the hall and waited, and he felt the same:    "Yes, I didn't dare to look and listen to the voice, Princess is much better than the ministers of other small countries, those The envoy of a small country, he stammers."

Zuo Lingquan sat in front of him, curled up his lips and praised:   "That's natural, it's also our regent Princess anyway, nothing else, the aura is this It's a big deal."

?

Jiang Yi stared at her apricot, but she didn't even think about quarreling with Zuo Lingquan. Speaking of the things that the cultivation base cannot do, she remembered something and said a little funny:

"By the way, I had a dream last night, dreaming that I learned the trick'Fire Dragon Technique'. Call Tang Jingxun elder sister."

?

Zuo Lingquan blinked, before he had time to comment on Jiang Yi’s spiritual victory, the Leng Zhu next to him whispered:    "I just said it, no wonder Princess slept last night Suddenly pinching my arm, with a smug expression on his face, um...looks very awkward..."

? ?   Jiang Yi smiled stiffly, slightly narrows the eyes looked towards Lengzhu.

Leng Zhu lowered his head and said, "I...I remember it..."

Zuo Lingquan secretly shook his head, amused, and did not speak to attack Fiancee's self-esteem, but said:    "After working on this matter, I have a little half a year of cultivation time. Jing Xi doesn't like to fight and kill. If you practice more, you will be able to catch up."

Jiang Yi expression congeals, and Wang Xiang Zuo Lingquan:

"Oh~have changed my slogan to Jing Xuan? If she really taught you the divine ability of Shangguan Old Ancestor, would she have to change her slogan to "Xuan Er"?"

"Why, C'estbon, don't be angry."

"?"

Jiang Yi tilted his head slightly, thinking this nickname was weird, so he thought about it and said:

"What's C'estbon, it's so terrible."

"Xiaoyi?"

"Oh...you still call me Princess, and Long Li is fine too. "

……

While chatting, envoys from several countries came outside the Toffee Palace next door, and everyone entered from the much empty square in front of the palace. In the main hall of Miyagi, you can see the deepest part of the palace from a distance, with a curtain of beads unfolded.

The envoy team will receive a banquet for dinner in the main hall, and give birth and birthday gifts to the emperor. It is estimated that it will last a long time.

Jiang Yi took Lanzhi and Leng Zhu in. Zuo Lingquan was just a guard in the inner part, so it was not easy to follow him. He still stood under the steps outside the great hall and waited for the end of the banquet.

As the sun rises to the middle of the sky, the sound of lyre comes from the palace behind. The court singers dressed in beautiful and alluring yet atmospheric, file in from under the eaves of the main hall and jump in the hall. There was a court dance.

Zuo Lingquan is inconvenient to look back and appreciate, just a little bored looking at the floating clouds in the sky, I don’t know how long it has passed, and suddenly there is a sound from under my feet:    "Meow~"

Zuo Lingquan looked down. At the corner of the steps, a white long-haired cat came from nowhere. It was snow-white, with blue eyes, and was very beautiful. It looked like the Princess in the cat.

Zuo Lingquan practicing sword is only for self-improvement, not for killing. There is no lack of love. Seeing a very beautiful kitten, he laughed, and instinctively just "tsk tsk" to tease .

As a result, the white cat was very face-saving, and walked to the front with small steps, stepped on his moiré boots with a mat, in a posture of'to hug'.

Zuo Lingquan is not good at picking up other people's cats casually, just teasing the white fur with the toe of the shoe. After touching for a while, behind the palace wall at the corner of the great hall, a few little palace ladies ran out and found the cat in front of him. She quickly hooked him and pointed at the white cat, seeming to want to bring the cat back. Afraid to be seen by courtiers in the palace, so I asked him for help.

Zuo Lingquan is a foreign minister, unlike the imperial forest guard who can walk around. Seeing this, he leaned over and picked up the white cat, walked from the bottom of the steps to the corner, and handed a few beautiful people Little Palace Lady:    "This cat is so beautiful."

"Many thanks General."

"The little master just ran away and scared us to death, so I have to get it back. Here comes..."

...

Several little palace ladies thanked again and again, and after lingering on Zuo Lingquan's face for a while, they ran towards the depths of Miyagi one step at a time.

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and smiled, then returned to the original position and waited.

It’s just that I didn’t wait long this time, the little palace lady who I just saw came to the front again and respectfully saluted:    "Many thanks, the general brought the little master back. The master please send the army to the Imperial Garden. Come, I want to thank you in person, the general please."

?

Zuo Lingquan was taken aback and wanted to refuse, but this was the imperial city of the dunya. It was obviously wrong for someone to send a maid to ask and refuse directly; he looked back at the main hall, the banquet had just begun, and there was a heavenly escape. The cards are connected, and I'm not afraid of getting lost, think about it or follow the maid to the back of Miyagi.

The Toffee Palace is not small, but it seems that there are not many places to live. After passing through the Thousand-Step Corridor on the left side of the main hall, you will arrive in a beautiful garden.

The garden is full of rockery, strange flowers and trees, and under the veranda is the jade green lake with thousands of koi carps.

Zuo Lingquan walked to the end of the veranda in a daze, and came to a stone pavilion facing the water.

There are many palace ladies standing outside the Shiting, and there are two palace ladies holding peacock feather fans, gently fanning the wind.

Next to the stone table in the pavilion, a beautiful woman in palace dress in a golden phoenix dress sits gracefully on her side, with a white kitten lying on her lap, stroking her hair with her head down.

Zuo Lingquan glanced slightly, and you can see that this beautiful woman in palace costume has black hair like black hair. Although she does not wear pink or pearls, she has a flawless face and a natural appearance, and her figure is not very ostentatious. , But it's not graceful, and everything is just right.

The temperament is even more unique, seemingly dignified and elegant with the charm of a familiar beauty, but invisibly exudes an unattainable and repelling widowhood, which makes people feel very strange, just like This is the beauty in the palace costume, and shouldn't be wearing this concubine's dress.

Zuo Lingquan knew that the imperial concubine was banqueting in the great hall, and she was almost a hundred years old, so she didn't guess the identity of the concubine in front of her. She looked steadily forward and followed the palace maid to the neighborhood, and bowed her hand in a salute:   "I don't know what you are..."

：    "Give a seat."

The smile is very beautiful.'Looking back, a hundred Meisheng, the sixth house is no color.' I am afraid this is the description of this smile, but for some reason, Zuo Lingquan thinks this smile is very It's not warm, it's like a step-by-step smile when it's time to laugh, and there is no emotion mixed in it.

After the court lady got the order, a stool she moved was placed in front of her.

Zuo Lingquan didn’t want to stay long, and was about to say goodbye, but heard the palace woman say:    "Your name is Zuo Lingquan?"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan's words stopped, and his head looked up with some doubts.

"I have been in charge of the Demon Division for eighty years. The cultivator close to the imperial city will check the background. You don't have to doubt it."

Eighty years?   Zuo Lingquan was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of these words:    "Empress is the imperial concubine? Hmm...then the main hall..."

"I don't like being too noisy At the place where, I got up and looked at the raccoon slave, but he ran away."

Zuo Lingquan slightly nodded. The cultivator and even the servants carried by the envoys to other countries must be reported to the other country. This is the rule of the two countries’ diplomatic relations to avoid the assassination of the emperor and cause war between the two countries. This young woman who is almost a hundred years old, knows his name. It's not surprising.

Zuo Lingquan hesitated: "The raccoon slave has been found, and I didn't help it just now. The Emperor Imperial Empress doesn't need to be so kind."

Shangguan Lingquan gently stroked the white cat. , His eyes are always looking at the beautiful landscape in the garden:    "I have been in the palace for a long time, and I feel so bored. Seeing that your innate talent is good, I just want to talk. I was also a member of the cultivation, and I was interested in this aspect. ."

A hundred-year-old grandmother looks like this, blind people can see that they are in the cultivation, and the cultivation base is definitely not low.

Zuo Lingquan couldn’t figure out her intentions. Seeing that she didn’t mean to see her off, she could only sit down and shook her head:

"Zhao Lingquan can't be called with innate talent, just I have practiced swords for a few years."

Shangguan Lingye raised the corners of his lips and smiled again. The smile was the same as before:    "You are self-effacing. Don't be wary. You are in Great Yan. The Immortal Masters on the road will register and make a register in the Anti-Monster Division. Only the rogue cultivator who commits the crime will avoid me. People on the mountain may not follow the rules, but the secular courts talk about the law of the country and will not wrongly punish an innocent person. , And will not miss a guilty person. This is the foundation of the country."

'Fa' is originally the foundation of rule. Zuo Lingquan did not refute this sentence, thinking about it and shaking his head:    "I just came out of Great Dan, and I don't know much about cultivation. It's really nothing worth talking about."

"Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. People are the mirror. You can understand your own gains and losses."

Shangguan Lingye looked towards Zuo Lingquan, and asked calmly:

"Great Dan is a barren land, lack of materials, it is difficult to produce good seedlings of the fairy family There are not many Lingqua cultivators; you are young and can make your head in that kind of place, how did you cultivation before?"

Zuo Lingquan doesn’t have to lie about this:    " It’s nothing more than hard work and hard work to make up for one’s weaknesses. There is no chance to find any chance there. There is only one way to go."

"By perseverance?"

"That's right."

Shangguan Lingye slightly nodded: "Since you have come to this step with great perseverance, with your ability, you should continue to climb the mountain, how can you mix in a small country envoy?"

"Continue to climb, and walk with the envoy team, conflict?"

Shangguan Lingye nodded: "Cultivation together, one step is slow, one step is slow, staying surrounded by mundane things, against cultivation It has a great influence."

Zuo Lingquan understood what the imperial concubine meant. He didn’t want to say something to the person he met for the first time. He just shook his head and said:    "Too Imperial Empress is also staying in the mortal world. The Demon Suppressing Division is also a place where mundane affairs are entangled. It seems that there is not much difference between me and me in the envoy team."

Shangguan Lingye raised his hand slightly. , After asking the surrounding palace ladies to retreat, he shook his head and said:   "Privately, you can call me senior, and Immortal Elder is also fine. I don't like people calling me too Imperial Empress. I'm different from you. I didn't stay here voluntarily, only when I was ordered by my teacher. "

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he was taken aback and asked:   "Senior means that you have spent eighty years in the imperial city of the dunya when you are unwilling?" "

Shangguan Lingye did not deny:

"According to orders. "

That's not because I don't want to...

Zuo Lingquan thinks back for a moment: "We, Great Dan, used to have a senior. In order to serve the Imperial Court, we served as a senior in a barren land. decades Imperial Teacher, the cultivation base stagnates, the final limit......"

"The same is true for me, only a few steps forward in 80 years, no accident, another several decades, it should be It's dead. "

"..."

Zuo Lingquan blinked: "What did the senior make wrong? "

Shangguan Lingye talked to Zuo Lingquan today for this, she said quietly:

"I admit that I am right, in the reputation of Great Yan, you can come I’ve heard that I’m not a big evil person; I don’t understand the purpose of sect, so I want to talk to you youngsters to see if I live too long and I’m confused. "

Zuo Lingquan understood the intention of this young woman's grandmother, he hesitated, and asked:   "It takes a lot of determination and perseverance to give up longevity and serve the country. Senior is not the original intention. How did you persevere if you don't even understand the reason? "

Shangguan Lingye stroked the white cat and whispered softly:

"Master's order is hard to violate." ”

Zuo Lingquan slightly frowned: “If you are a teacher who really cares about the discipline, It shouldn’t be this way, forcing the discipline to marry someone you don’t like and stay where you don’t want to be for a lifetime , Thus breaking the discipline avenue; destroying people for a lifetime, it is a bit cruel to deal with the enemy, let alone treating the discipline, it is not as good as a killing blade. "

"I think so too." However, my teacher, It shouldn't be, deliberately ruined my avenue, maybe it was just intentional, I didn't guess it. "

Zuo Lingquan doesn't think so: "The deadline is almost here. This life has been ruined. No matter how good the original intention is, what is the point? "

Seeing that Zuo Lingquan had the same idea as her, Shangguan Lingye smiled lightly and looked towards the direction of Yinheng Mountain:

"It seems that the fault is not on my side." . "

Zuo Lingquan thinks this senior is very pitiful, and asks:

"Since the senior thinks that the teacher will not harm you, if he doesn't want to, how did the teacher convince you at the time?" ? "

"..."

Shangguan Lingye moved his eyes, retracted his gaze, and did not respond-she didn't even see Old Ancestor at the time, just gave it to her A marriage letter, she thought Old Ancestor had a deep meaning, and came over without asking...

Zuo Lingquan waited for a while and understood the meaning, a little unbelievable:

"senior asked all Don't ask, just under unwilling circumstances, he obeyed the order to marry someone he didn't like, gave up the road and stayed in the mortal world? "

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a while: "I think the teacher has a different meaning, it is for the sake of my future. "

Zuo Lingquan can't figure it out a bit: "The senior is for the longevity road, so he ignores him and takes orders he doesn't like, and marries someone he doesn't like?" "

"Yes. Cultivation is like this, as long as you can get the great path, you have to bear the suffering that ordinary people can't bear. I thought the teacher was for my own good, so I agreed. "

Zuo Lingquan frowned: "Senior means that for the longevity avenue, even the word'love' can be discarded; today for the avenue, you can marry people, and tomorrow for the avenue, you can cut off the red dust and the past Are all just a passing scene? "

Shangguan Lingye is more thorough than this. She was born as an immortal, and simply has no mortal love:    "I only ask for the great road, and only my parents and teachers are respected, and I have no affection for other people." , There is no such thing as abandonment. "

"Isn't the senior married?" The weight of the love between men and women is only under the parents..."

"I thought it was just to be an offering, and to cover my eyes with a secular identity. From the first day I entered Beijing, I lived in the old city, even Heaven. I have never worshipped and Earth, nor have I interacted with the emperor; the emperor and the empress have a deep and righteous relationship, and they only regard me as a fairy house, thinking that I am supervising the court for sect, and even guarding me all the time. I am dedicated to my duty in Beijing, and I have not owed the Zhou family for 80 years, so I will not be causal, and even more ruthless, even if I leave in the future, I will not give birth to Heart Demon. "

After listening to this, Zuo Lingquan is a little unbelievable:

"Senior doesn’t want to marry someone but still marry, because I think the teacher is for the sake of your avenue; if you marry someone, it’s the world Marriage puts aside the relationship, here alone Confinement Within A Circle Drawn On The Ground for nearly a hundred years, so that there will be no Heart Demon on the road in the future? "

"Yes. "

"Then I have been staying for eighty years now, and seeing the deadline is approaching, and the cultivation base is still unable to make progress, why doesn't the senior leave?" Afraid of punishment by the teacher? This life will almost be ruined, and no punishment will be worse than this. "

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a while: "I still think that the teacher is thinking about my way, but I haven't seen it through." "

Zuo Lingquan heard that this palace-dressed beauty did not leave the longevity avenue in three words, sighed:

"I heard the senior say for so long, it seems that there is only the longevity avenue in my heart, what else It's all irrelevant. Then Junior dares to ask, if senior is really good, what are you going to do? "

Shangguan Lingye shook the head: "No one knew what the avenue was before I got the way. When I got there, I naturally knew what to do. "

That is, I don’t know at the moment, for the cultivation of cultivation...

Zuo Lingquan understands it, he thought about it, and asked:   "Is there anything for seniors ?" , Can you abandon the Longevity Avenue for it? "

Shangguan Lingye's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he said:   "My parents are dead. Only the teacher can live for me, but the teacher doesn't need my protection." "

"Then, for example, if a Heavenly Master passes away for a long time, will the senior completely cut off the world without worrying about it?" "

"Yes. "

"Then if the senior finds out that he wants to live long, he has to kill an innocent person. If he doesn't kill, he won't get the road. Should the senior kill or not?" "

"..."

Shangguan Lingye fell silent, frowned, and did not answer.

This seemingly simple assumption is actually A very cruel torture. Ninety-nine percent of the cultivation can't answer with a clear conscience; she should have gone to ask the teacher, but the teacher is not here.

"The avenue is not a trivial thing, it won't appear here. Kind of problem. "

Zuo Lingquan has only heard so much, and now he probably understands the character of this young woman's grandmother. He shook his head and said:   "Senior will avoid this question, which means that he knows that he can't kill, but he wants to kill. right? "

"This kind of question is meaningless." "

"My cultivation is not long ago, and I don't know much, but if I ask myself, I can't think well. Then even a mortal can't do it well, what kind of immortality can I cultivate?" I feel that this question is meaningful. "

"If you encounter this kind of choice, would you not kill?" ”

Zuo Lingquan shook the head-he would never encounter this choice!

The purpose of his cultivation is to hold the sword in his own hand and not be affected by others Left and right.

If you find that the avenue is contrary to his morality, it is that the avenue is wrong. He has to cut the avenue. If he can’t cut it, he will practice until he can cut it. Cultivation base and longevity lead the way, which belongs to putting the cart before the horse.

"This is not a question of whether to kill or not to kill. For example, in my Great Dan Dynasty, the emperor asked me to kill a commoner, and then rewarded me with high officials and honors and glory; normal people should not want to kill or not, but think that the emperor is a faint king, and the Great Dan Dynasty should change the sky. Up. "

Shangguan Lingye was stunned, obviously didn't expect Zuo Lingquan to answer like this.

She thought about it for a long time, and suddenly she understood a little bit why Old Ancestor chose the wild boy in front of her. ——This perspective of looking at things is really different from that of ordinary people...

After Shangguan Lingye was silent for a moment, slightly nodded:

"It seems that the fault is indeed with me. Did not understand the deep meaning of the teacher. "

Zuo Lingquan chuckled lightly: "I don't think there is any deep meaning to guess. Immortals are cultivated from human beings, so I can be a good person and have a clear conscience. My father said I was wrong, and I I have to explain the truth to my dad, let alone immortal master. "

Shangguan Lingye didn't speak any more, just leaning on the white cat, secretly in a daze.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't stay long, and stood up and said:   "Then Junior Goodbye first. "

Shangguan Lingye came back to his senses, showing a little smile:

"Just now, many thanks, you got the raccoon slaves back. Your Princess bought a house in the city." , Ask someone to inquire about the formation of the formation, I will let someone arrange it later, as a thank you. "

"Senior is really polite." "

"Princess from a foreign country has come to live with me. As the host, I should do my best to be a landlord." Okay, you can go back, and if I have any questions in the future, I will ask you again. "

Zuo Lingquan bowed his hand and left the stone pavilion.

Shangguan Lingquan sat in the stone pavilion and watched Zuo Lingquan go away until his back disappeared, and his eyebrows I fumbled slightly, thinking about the conversation we had just made.

It’s just that there are some things that are carved in the bones when they are born, how can they come to their senses just because of a word... ——    To be an immortal means to draw a clear line from mortals since birth, knowing that one must stand on top of Nine Heavens and have a bird's-eye view of sentient beings; the one such character in the book is Old Lu, but Old Lu later suddenly enlightenment. These will be written later. After all, it is impossible to write a book in one chapter.
