If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

   Chapter 147 Dafu sword in white clothes, the princess bids farewell

   The breeze is quiet and serene, and the rest of the sun shines in the green forest.

   In front of this gorgeous palace, there is an ancient tree, and there is a green bamboo forest in the distance, which looks relaxed.

   The man at the top had black hair and blue clothes, his body was tall and handsome, and his eyes were deep and calm.

   The book he casually placed on the table was the "Han Junshu" written by Han Xintai, a master of the Northern Qin Dynasty, which outlined the techniques of the Legalists to control the people, and also recorded in detail the many key points of the Legalists governing the world under the great rule of Guozuo.

   This man is the seventh prince of Dafu. Because of his big mistakes in his early years, Emperor Chongtian ordered him to think behind closed doors in the palace for nine years.

   The nine-year period is extremely long, and he should have been depressed in the deep palace. Since then, he has not been able to regenerate the seventh prince, but through the nine-year period, he has read hundreds of classics, and has also annotated many classics, and his reputation has gradually increased.

  His talent for cultivation is gradually revealed in this deep palace, and his cultivation is also called a thousand miles in a day.

   There were even a lot of people in the palace who felt that in terms of talent alone, the seventh prince was the first among the many princes and princesses in Taixuan Palace.

  If the prince did not have the help of the great power and the great power, and did not have the great Buddha in the Daleiyin Temple to spread the Dharma, and only talked about cultivation, the seventh prince would have caught up with the prince who cast many gods.

   Whether this speculation is true or not is not known to everyone, because the Seventh Prince has never discussed with others, and he does not know what the current state of cultivation has reached.

  Because the Seventh Prince is generous, treats people with kindness, has a scholarly appearance, and has a great talent to rely on, even if he is still thinking about it, his reputation gradually flows to the outside world, and he is heard by the Holy Monarch and many courtiers.

  Today, the Seventh Prince opened the palace hall to welcome guests.

   Among these guests, there are several courtiers with high official positions, and the most important are Chu Yeshan and Li Yushi.

  Chu Yeshan is the current doctor of the Imperial College, Li Yushi has never been an official, and their identities on the surface are nothing.

   However, one of them represents Duke Chu, one of the Dukes of the Three Kingdoms of Dafu, and the other represents the Li family of Xuandu, and Li Guanlong of Shaozhu Kingdom!

   Whether it is Duke Chu or Shaozhu Kingdom, even in this vast land, they are all figures who will be the top of the line.

   At this time and place, the seventh prince suddenly asked a question, his eyes fell on Chu Yeshan and Li Yushi.

   Looking carefully, the black eyes of the seventh prince, as bright as the stars, seemed to glitter with secrets that were difficult to spy. What was even more surprising was that the seventh prince had double pupils in his eyes, which was quite miraculous!

   The second pupil is looming and not obvious, but it still makes the seventh prince more and more mysterious.

   "Indeed."

The crowd sat opposite the seventh prince, Chu Yeshan was particularly tall, and he replied, "The cultivator named Dugui under Gu Chenhao's command has cultivated the supernatural powers of evil ghosts, and used black mist to nurture ghosts and ghosts, so as to devour other people's primordial spirit, He has also ignited the divine fire, and he is an out-and-out divine fire cultivator."

   "But Yeshan and Master Zhiyun both saw Lu Jing frowning and shouting with his own eyes. There was a glorious golden light in his eyes, and the only ghost was severely injured, and all the monsters and monsters he raised were dissolved in the aura."

  Li Yushi frowned, his thoughts flashed.

   The mysterious seventh prince in the first part, the second pupil in his eyes is much more obvious, as if he is quite interested in Lu Jing.

  Chu Yeshan saw the seventh prince's eyes, and continued: "Although the aura that Lu Jing has cultivated is not comparable to those of the great scholars who have studied the classics for decades and are enough to establish a sect, it is already very rare!

  Usually when a six-level evildoer encounters him, he will be killed by the righteousness he raised. Ye Shan has lived for more than 20 years, but he has never met a boy who can raise his arrogance at the age of seventeen. "

Not far from Chu Ye Mountain, another young general with a sword thought for a while, and said, "Now that I think about it, Lu Jing Yuanshen suffered a big loss, but he was still able to break into the realm from Yuanshen Rizhao, and I think it's because of him. Primordial spirit has such golden light and righteousness."

"He's an all-rounder." Chu Yeshan sighed: "Lu Jing is not only excellent in painting and calligraphy, but also when the bell struck the bell in the Dihua Pavilion and the eight notes played, I also felt that my mind was swaying, he deserves to be famous in Taixuan Beijing. genius."

   He seemed to admire Lu Jing very much, and when he mentioned Lu Jing, there was undisguised envy in his eyes.

   But then, Chu Yeshan's conversation changed, and his tone gradually became indifferent: "If this class of people is under the prince's command, if they are allowed to grow up, they will be another great Situ, another champion general..."

"Perhaps Lu Jing is unwilling to participate in the Tianlong battle." Li Yushi suddenly said, "Since he can cultivate a mighty spirit, he has a vast mountain in his chest. There are a few people who have been scholars since ancient times who are willing to participate in such battles. ?"

  The young general with the knife shook his head indifferently, and only said softly, "Prince...it's the general trend. If Lu Jing wants to enter the Prince's East Palace, it doesn't go against his spirit."

   "General Yun Hui said exactly what he said."

   Chu Yeshan nodded in agreement, and looked at Li Yushi again: "Young Master Yushi, you have been investigating for so many days, what have you found?"

  Li Yushi was silent for a moment, then said: "The prince's subordinates are still looking for something to heal the Yuanshen, but I don't know if they are looking for the former prince and the master, or for Lu Jing."

  The seventh prince saw Li Yushi's slightly unnatural look, and his heart moved, but he never showed it.

   He looked down at Han Junshu and said softly, "The people are kind and skilled, and can be used by others.

   A young man like Lu Jing, even the eldest brother of the emperor went to see him in person and invited him in person.

   In this matter, I am naturally behind the eldest brother, after all, I cannot go to see him in person.

  Rain Master... You have been in contact with him many times, but have you ever... hated him? "

  Li Yushi was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm very polite to Lu Jing. I've met each other several times and treated each other with courtesy, but..."

   There was more hesitation in Li Yushi's words, the seventh prince stretched out his hand, closed the Han Junshu, and his eyes moved slightly: "It is said that Lu Jing was assassinated on Yanglu Street?"

   Chu Yeshan and the young General Yunhu both frowned.

When the seventh prince mentioned this matter, Li Yushi's expression did not change, and his spine was still erect: "This is what Xu Baiyan did to protect the inheritance of Xuanlun Duhu, and I did add a bit of strength to it. Heishitang was hesitant at first. Decisive, I ordered him to take action and let him do his best."

  Chu Yeshan's brows suddenly stretched, and there was no hesitation in his eyes. He saluted the seventh prince and said, "Since this matter, Lu Jing can't let it go any longer."

   Chu Yeshan's tone was full of murderousness, his eyes moved lightly, and occasionally glanced at Li Yushi, quite angry that he was indisputable.

   But the matter has come to this point, Li Yushi has already done this, and the Li family of the Xuandu is one of the seven princes' biggest helpers. It is useless to criticize and quarrel, and it is only reasonable to remedy it as soon as possible.

   The seventh prince tapped the knuckles of his index knuckles on the jade table in front of him, closing his eyes and thinking.

   After a few breaths passed, the seventh prince opened his eyes, looked at Li Yushi and said, "Did you leave hands and feet?"

  Li Yushi said coldly: "After I saw the sword energy that Lu Jing was brewing in the painting, I have already sent someone to kill the black stone hall master, and soon, there will be news."

The seventh prince praised: "It's not too late to make amends at this time, Lu Jing has now become famous in Taixuanjing, and is a respected Mr. Shulou. Now he has been named by the sage as the prince's young master, and he has raised Haoran. Righteous, I am afraid that I will enter the third floor.

  I have always respected such a person very much. After I open the residence, I will personally visit him before making plans.

   Just because of a suspicion, he took people's lives in vain, but fell down. "

   Chu Yeshan, Li Yushi, and General Yun Hui all bowed their heads and said nothing.

  The seventh prince also stopped talking about Lu Jing and talked about other things.

  Time passed gradually, and after more than an hour, everyone left, and only the seventh prince sat in the palace.

   However, he saw the seventh prince coughing softly, and in the distorted void, a figure of a woman who looked like a palace maid appeared. She seemed to have heard an order, and after saluting the seventh prince, she disappeared again.

  The seventh prince picked up the Han Junshu, read the article "The Weak People", and nodded slowly.

  —

  Lu Jing originally wanted to go to Lu Mansion to visit Princess Chong'an, but before noon, someone sent an official sedan to invite her.

   After knowing the identity of the person who came, Lu Jing saw that it was still early, so he got into the sedan chair.

  This sedan chair walked through four or five streets all the way, came to Qingyun Street, and stopped in front of the residence of Jiang Baishi, the first assistant of the dynasty.

   Another servant welcomed him in, all the way towards the East Hall.

   In Lord Shoufu's mansion, Lu Jing also saw a familiar white cow.

   "The white cow raised by Lord Shoufu?"

  In the distance between the grass and trees, a white cow with white body and equally white horns is crawling on the grass, eating the grass at will.

  The green herbs in winter should be quite rare, but where the white ox crawls, it is full of green grass and trees for the white ox to eat at will.

  Lu Jing looked at the white cow. The white cow seemed to sense something and turned to look at Lu Jing.

   After only one look, he lowered his head, as if he didn't want to pay attention to Lu Jing, and there was a lot of depth in his eyes, like the eyes of a calm middle-aged man.

   "Is this white bull a monster?" Lu Jing stopped looking at it and speculated in his heart.

   He has never seen any trace of demonic energy in Bai Niu.

   It can be seen from this that this white cow is either an ordinary mortal cow...or...is a big monster with a profound cultivation base, I am afraid that it has already stepped into the sixth or seventh realm.

   "Lu Jing is here?"

  Lu Jing just walked into the East Hall when a clear voice came.

   Above, another old man with white hair and white beard was looking at him with a smile.

   "Master Shoufu, Mr. Yu Bo."

  Lu Jing saluted the two of them.

  Zhong Yubai was also in Jiang Baishi's mansion today, and Lu Jing was not surprised. When the Shoufu Mansion sent someone to invite him, he had already explained the matter.

  Jiang Baishi asked Lu Jing to take a seat at will, and another person served tea.

   "There are many great scholars in Guozijian and the three academies in Taixuanjing, who want to meet you."

  Zhong Yubai smiled and said to Lu Jing, "Your reputation for warding off evil spirits is not seen by others, but in the eyes of those great Confucian scholars, it is like a treasure. Have you ever received an invitation from them?"

Lu Jing didn't hide it: "Mr. Yu Bo, I have received many invitations in the past few days, but I have rejected them all, sitting down and discussing with those great Confucian scholars, even if I study hard in hundreds of classics, I have some experience, but I am missing one after all. The classics of Hongdao have never had the power of enlightenment.

   Over the past ten days, I have had some thoughts in my mind, maybe I can also write a book for the people of the world, and use this as the basis for my preaching. "

   Jiang Baishi and Zhong Yubai looked at each other.

Zhong Yubai agreed: "People in the world only know that you have a passion for blood, and that you are both excellent in calligraphy and painting, but I know that you also have a unique understanding of classics and historical books. Regarding Zhongzheng's 'holding dual purposes, man and nature are one' It was refreshing to me at the time.”

   "It depends on the understanding of many sages and is not worthy of Mr. Yu Bo's praise." Lu Jing said modestly.

However, Zhong Yubai shook his head and said, "Aren't all the classics in this world realized from generation to generation? The predecessors are ladders. I wish you to climb to a higher level of learning. If you have this understanding, you are considered extraordinary. Humble."

   The three chatted a few more times.

   The first Jiang Baishi, who had been reading a few letters, finally put down the paper in his hand and said to Lu Jing, "I'm looking for you today for a reason."

  Lu Jing lowered his head and listened carefully.

   "A long time ago, I told Princess Chong'an that when you return to your status as a loved one, I will give you a chance to rise to the top.

   It's just that for many days, there have been too many trivial matters in the Northwest Road, and it has been delayed for a while, and I have never asked you to come here.

   Today is just a free time, please come over with your husband. "

   Jiang Baishi's deep eyes flashed with some brilliance: "You are still young, while you are doing your studies, you also have to look at the scenery at high places.

  I know that since you can bet on your own safety, draw your sword to cut down demons, and create a vortex, you just want to do something for the world.

  If you want to do things, it is nothing more than becoming an official in the dynasty. When you are in a high position, you can try to put your ideas into the world. "

   Jiang Baishi said so.

Zhong Yubai also said: "Before you came, I also discussed with Lord Shoufu, and recommended by Taishu Pavilion, you can join the military department, come to my military department, first become an elected official, and cultivate one's qi. , With your reputation, it doesn't take a few years to get preferential treatment from the imperial court, and you can rise step by step. If you can be released in the future and become a local parent official, you can try to do practical things for the living beings in this world."

   Zhong Yubai said here, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he said softly: "You come to the Ministry of War now, and I can teach you about government affairs.

   After half a year, I will go to the Northwest Road, lead the army to clear the remnants of the Northern Qin who infiltrated and wander in it, and say goodbye to you. "

  Lu Jing moved in his heart and asked, "Is there an accident in the court and put Mr. Bai on the Northwest Road?"

  Jiang Baishi glanced at Lu Jing with admiration: "The Northwest Road has numerous storms, and it is also an important frontier area. Even though Chu Shenchou has been sitting in it recently, it is still not enough.

  Yu Bai once held two swords of pine and cypress and Suihan, guarding the country of Anhuai and guarding the Northwest Road. Naturally, it was enough. "

  Zhong Yubai nodded slightly and asked again, "Lu Jing, what do you think?"

   Jiang Baishi also looked at the scenery.

  Lu Jing didn't think about it for too long, but after two or three breaths, he shook his head and said, "Lu Jing thanked Lord Shoufu and Mr. Yu Bo for their kindness."

   Both Jiang Baishi and Zhong Yubai were a little surprised.

  Lu Jing stood up, saluted the two of them, and said solemnly: "In this world, there are beacon and smoke everywhere, and there are many natural and man-made disasters.

  I also ask the two adults to forgive Lu Jing for being so arrogant. Although Lu Jing is still young, he feels that the world is full of turmoil. "

   "Official affairs are complicated, and it will take many years if you want to truly achieve what you want, even if you are favored by Shoufu adults.

  Lu Jing still has to study and practice, and has been immersed in the officialdom for too long. Lu Jing is only afraid that he will lose the foundation of his life and the sharpness of his heart. "

There was no disappointment in Zhong Yubai's eyes, and he asked, "You don't want to be an official in the dynasty?"

   Jiang Baishi's mouth suddenly showed some smiles.

   "Lu Jing, you mentioned swords and authority in your mouth. I think you have other plans."

   "Other plans?" Zhong Yubai's eyes moved slightly: "Does Lu Jing want to participate in the trial in front of the palace?"

Lu Jing didn't hide it: "Lu Jing doesn't want to waste too much time on the road of being an official. He just hopes that he can be equipped with the sword of the sage, get the power of white clothes, study and practice on weekdays, see injustice again, but also hold a sword. Cut it!"

Zhong Yubai frowned slightly: "Is this the authority you want in front of the palace? You are also weird. The test in front of the palace is held every five years. White clothes?"

"Everyone has their own aspirations." Jiang Baishi laughed, obviously very old, but his laughter was particularly loud: "If you want to come to Lu Jing, you know that nothing in this world is more than the order of the sage. If he can wear white clothes, Wearing the sword of the Holy Monarch on his waist, even if he is not in the courtroom, the people in the courtroom should respect him a little bit!"

   "It's just that this time in front of the palace is not that simple." Jiang Baishi's eyes were shining brightly: "The three tests in front of the palace, in addition to the literati test, there are also the second test of Yuanshen and martial arts.

   There is no need to say much about the test of the scribes, what is required is the talent of the world, and no one can interfere arbitrarily.

But this time, the two trials of Yuanshen and Martial Arts were a bit special. Dazhuguo found two swords, Hu Feng and Huan Yu, and the Holy Monarch used these two third-grade treasures as a test and reward. Pay attention to.

  The winner will definitely be able to gain great power. The fourth son of the Li family, Chu Guogong, the barren man in the Western Regions, who is like a martial artist, and even the son of the champion general and the general star, are all eager to try.

  Lu Jing, your current cultivation level is still weaker. If you want to gain the approval of the Rain Summoning Sword, I am afraid that you are still a little short. "

"And even if you win, if you want to wear white clothes, you still have to see if the sage will agree. After all... the last person in white clothes has left Dafu for too long. He walks with a sword, and the world only remembers his sword. As soon as the anger has gone three thousand miles, I don't remember that he was once also me."

  Lu Jing heard Jiang Baishi's words, and said stubbornly: "Since a decision has been made, many things have to be tried, otherwise...it will inevitably be flawed in my heart."

   Zhong Yubai nodded deeply and encouraged Lu Jingdao: "Since you already have an idea, why not pursue it? Even if a young man encounters some hardships, setbacks, and unsatisfactory things, it will be fine.

  The so-called young man is full of vigor and vigorous, and he is probably just like you. "

  Jiang Baishi and Zhong Yubai, one to warn and the other to encourage, Lu Jing sincerely thanked them both.

   The two chatted for a long time, and Lu Jing had lunch with them again, and then they left the Shoufu Mansion with Zhong Yubai.

When    went out, the white bull was still there, motionless.

  Zhong Yubai saw Lu Jing's eyes and said actively: "This white cow is my senior, it is said to be from Lutan, and it is the mount of an immortal.

  Lutan fell into the mortal world, and all the immortals in it have become dead bones, and only this white cow wandered in the world, and it has been three hundred years in a short time. "

   "Until he met Jiang Baishi, the first assistant of Dafu when he was a teenager."

The two were walking on Qingyun Street, and Zhong Yubai's tone was full of emotion: "At that time, Jiang Shoufu was a long-term worker in a noble family. , and ascended to the highest place in the world.

   Hundred years have passed, Jiang Shoufu has grown old, but this white cow still does not see old age. "

   "Why didn't Jiang Shoufu practice?"

  Lu Jing was also a little curious in his heart, Zhong Yubai smiled casually: "God doesn't care for everyone, the majority of people in the world who can't practice.

   And the civil servants who have worked hard all their lives in the court and the opposition, even if they can cultivate, most of them are tired of everything in the court, and they can't be called high-level cultivation. Where in the world are there all-rounders? "

"Fortunately, the Dafu army is strong and powerful, Shangzhu's state is powerful, and Shaozhu's blood can crush a real dragon. The champion general's fist is like a spring thunder, and the three princes are equally powerful. With the outbreak of spiritual tide, these unworldly powerhouses will definitely be able to go further.

   Coupled with the Taixuan Palace that suppressed Dafu, there is no doubt that Dafu is powerful. "

   Zhong Yubai said this, and seemed to think of another person.

   His words were respectful: "What's more... There is also a king of Chong'an in the three states of Chong'an who monopolized the world's martial arts and three fights, and said the phrase 'the world is great, only I can stand the throne'."

  Lu Jing was a little surprised when he heard Zhong Yubai's words: "It is said that King Chong'an has exhausted his energy and blood, and he has passed away soon."

  Zhong Yubai nodded, with a pity in his tone: "It's true, King Chong'an's qi and blood are withered, even if there are many treasures to continue their lives, I'm afraid they will die soon.

  But...as long as he survives for a day, he is the sun in the sky in the hearts of the warriors in the world, and the halberd in his hand is like a pillar and respected by others.

   He has dominated the world, even if his life has come to an end at this time, his reputation will be immortal. "

   Hearing Zhong Yubo's words, Lu Jing also agreed with him. He had also read the biography of King Chong'an, and naturally knew what a hero of King Chong'an, who is now lying in the three states of Chong'an, was in his prime!

   "It's still early, why don't Mr. Yu Bo go and see those children with me?"

   Lu Jing suggested this.

  Zhong Yubai also replied: "The new shantang will be renovated in two or three months at most. At that time, you and I will have to appoint a manager. The Ministry of Housing has already told me about this."

  —

   It was not until the end of the hour that Lu Jing and Zhong Yubai came back from the temporary sanctuary.

   Just walked out of the courtyard, but found that in front of a longevity flower in front of the courtyard, Princess Chong'an was wearing a luxurious mink clothes, looking down at the flowers in front of her.

  Lu Jing was a little surprised, looking left and right, there was no trace of soft water.

   "Princess."

  Lu Jing salutes Princess Chong'an.

   Princess Chong'an turned to look at him, but there was a bit of undisguised melancholy in her brows.

"You're back?"

   "I don't know when the princess will come to the courtyard, can you wait for a long time?"

  Lu Jing asked the princess to go to the main house to take a seat, but the princess shook her head and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'll go back to Chong'an Sanzhou tomorrow."

   Lu Jing's eyes flashed with surprise.

   Princess Chong'an still looked at the longevity flower in the courtyard, and whispered, "Lu Jing, don't forget the agreement between the two of us."

  Lu Jing naturally knew that Princess Chong'an was talking about her daughter.

   So he said earnestly: "Since the princess has fulfilled the contract, Lu Jing is young, but he knows what he says and keeps his word. Please rest assured, the princess, if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely help."

   Princess Chong'an's frowning was relaxed a lot.

   "There are many things that I cannot do to re-announce the palace, otherwise it will lead to even greater consequences."

Princess Chong'an said: "I know that you have something in your heart, and I came here not only to remind you about this, but also to tell you about it... Although my daughter is stubborn and kills in anger, she can't Quehai Dragon Palace is not an innocent place. I don’t know how many souls died in it and turned into blood sacrifices.

   In addition... the death of my daughter's teacher has many connections with that Beiquehai. It is for these reasons that the Great Sage of Zhuxingshan massacred the Beiquehai Dragon Palace.

  You protect my daughter, it does not violate your morality, and I also don't believe that she will kill innocent life like those evil spirits. "

  Lu Jingdao: "I've seen records about the evil deeds of Beiquehai Dragon Palace in several travel journals."

   When he said this, he actually had a lot of emotion in his heart about the evil deeds of the Beiquehai Dragon Palace.

  Many people and many things in the human world are not good for good, and evil for evil.

  The fact that the North Quehai Dragon Palace uses flesh and blood as sacrifices has been recorded in travel journals, and many people must have known about it.

  But before the three great saints of Candle Star Mountain went down to Beiquehai and slaughtered the Dragon Palace, no one paid any attention to this matter.

   Maybe it was the rise of the Northern Qin Dynasty, and the court was reluctant to have many branches.

   Of course, this does not mean that Candle Star Mountain must be the righteous side.

  In Candle Star Mountain, there are many great demons and great demons who have not been sealed by the sect master of the Evil Dao Sect, that is, the famous drinker all over the world.

  How can things in the world be explained clearly by the simple words of black and white, good and evil?

   "In this case, I can rest assured that my daughter may come to Taixuanjing soon. I hope you can help her at that time."

   Princess Chong'an said this, and gave a slight pause: "I will leave early tomorrow morning. You don't have to come to see me. If we can meet again someday, maybe we can talk about poetry in the sky."

   Concubine Chong'an's words were still somewhat decisive, as if... Concubine Chong'an's death was more fortunate than good luck.

   Lu Jing had such thoughts in his heart, and he dismissed them in a blink of an eye.

  Prince Chong'an has a distinguished status, the King of Chong'an can be admired by all the people in the world, the King of Chong'an has a strong military force in the three states, how can words such as "misfortune are more auspicious and less fortunate" have any connection with her?

   "In that case, Lu Jing will say goodbye to the princess today."

Lu Jing saluted the princess, and his tone was very sincere: "Lu Jing was taken care of by the princess, and Lu Jing actually remembers many things in his heart, maybe... Maybe if I grow older, I will walk out of Taixuan Jing and take a look. The scenery of this world, then, if I have the opportunity, I will also go to the three states of Chong'an for a stroll."

   Princess Chong'an smiled at Lu Jing, bright and moving, she stopped talking, but waved to Lu Jing, then turned to leave.

   "Princess stay."

  Lu Jing opened his mouth, took out another page of paper from his arms, and handed it to the princess.

   "I originally wanted to visit the princess today, but I was delayed because of some trivial matters.

   This Que word, I got it from the fairyland in the sky, no one in this vast world should have read it, and it should be regarded as a farewell gift for the princess. "

  Princess Chong'an took the golden page, slowly opened it, and looked at it carefully for a long time, then she pursed her lips and smiled at Lu Jing...

   turned and left.
