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

   Chapter 160 How could Gu Chenxiao apologize to someone?

   With Su Houcang's voice spread in this illusory ocean of calamity.

   The already fiery flames grew stronger.

   The firelight was reflected in the eyes of Su Houcang and Lu Jing, and vaguely, the figures of the two immortals began to become much clearer.

  Lu Jing looked at the two treasures held by the two immortals, and there was a vague aura flowing out from the two treasures, which merged with this vast world and were embedded in every void.

   As far as Lu Jing's eyes can be, he can see a stream of breaths flowing, communicating with the world.

  Su Houcang still looked at Lu Jing with his eyes, quietly looking at Lu Jing.

   And the mysterious aura on the phantoms of the two treasures, Wind and Rain, is gradually dissipating, gradually becoming thinner and looming.

   "My impression of the two treasures of Wind and Rain does not stop there, but there must be many secrets hidden in these two immortal relics.

  If you can get one of them, if you can comprehend the mystery, in a sense, you may be close to the truth of the world. "

   "For this world, it is also a very good thing, if you can call the wind and call the rain without being governed by the heavens and the earth, without being punished by the spring thunder, the fire of the sky, the slayer of the gods, and even the three stars in the sky that always hang above the sky!

   At that time, if you have a good heart, you can always save the displaced people in the middle of the river, and let the place where the drought in the middle of the river go back to the past, so that they can return to their hometowns. "

  Su Houcang was known for his taciturn in the Great Fu Dynasty.

   But under this sky, next to Lu Jing, Yuanshen has already mastered the great power of Dazhu Kingdom, but he is not stingy with words.

  Lu Jingyuan looked at Yang Jiehai and the many visions from afar.

  This illusory scene constructed by the primordial spirit power is constantly collapsing.

  The world returned to reality, he was still standing on the chariot, and Su Houcang, who was beside him, still had his hands on his back and was majestic.

  Lu Jing lowered his head to think, then raised his head and asked, "Dazhuguo, Lu Jing has something puzzled."

  Su Houcang nodded towards Lu Jing, and Lu Jing spoke.

  Lu Jingdao: "This time before the palace test is unusual, the crown prince and the seventh prince are competing for the hero, and they each recruited heroes under the age of twenty-five, hoping to win the palace test.

  Other giants and generals are also unwilling to compete for the victory in this courtroom test because of these reasons.

   Now Dazhuguo has come to persuade me to take part in the hall test, hoping that I have to be one of the two treasures. If such actions are noticed by the prince and the seventh prince, they will definitely be angry.

  Why does Dazhuguo think that Lu Jing has the ability to ignore the anger of these two indescribable characters? "

  Su Houcang's expression did not change when he heard Lu Jing's words, and said, "The Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince are immature, and they compete with each other, but when I look at their subordinates, there are those with extraordinary talent and those with extraordinary talent.

   Taken out alone, they are all first-class geniuses.

   But when it comes to swords and swords, they are not as good as you. "

   "If you can achieve this victory by yourself, you only need to try to get a half-official position in front of the palace. Whether it is the line of the prince or the line of the seventh prince, you will never dare to blatantly kill you."

   "And since you have the courage to drag the corpse to the Dragon Dance Street, this level of support is enough."

"Also..." Su Houcang turned his head, with fire in his eyes: "If you can really understand the spirit of the sword and the sword in the two treasures of Calling the Wind and Calling the Rain, let alone in this great apocalypse, even in this vast world, you will Possess transcendent status.

   As long as you uphold kindness in your heart, call wind and rain, and have many barren worlds and green mountains, you will naturally have great merit in the hearts of countless ordinary people. "

"Although it is only a reputation, it can also resist the enemy. The seventh prince wants to be the crown prince, so he must not lose the people's hearts, and he will never want to be accused of killing a sage... In short, if you can win this victory in the front of the palace, it will be a blessing to you. It's a good thing, too.”

  Su Houcang's tone was plain and straightforward, but he was very patient when he spoke, citing many advantages of winning the hall test...

   It was as if he, the unparalleled figure who led the army, really expected that Lu Jing would really be in charge of those two immortal treasures.

Lu Jing was curious and asked: "Dazhu Kingdom, you persuaded me to participate in the hall test, but if I win the hall test, but still can't comprehend the mystery of the two treasures, still can't call the wind and rain, what should I do? ?"

  Su Houcang looked down at the barren Hezhong Road. At this time, it was winter, and it had already snowed several times in Taixuanjing, but there was still no snow here.

   "I presented the two treasures to the imperial court. I just wanted to use the power of the imperial court to choose two people who could take charge of them, but I never thought that the holy monarch would use this sword as a reward for the trial before the palace."

   "I often come to this road in the middle of the river, and when I see the devastated eyes, I always feel a little resentful and helpless, but even if I cultivate to this level, it is still irreversible.

  I have killed many people all my life, and I don’t know how many people have died under my hands. Once upon a time, I was a Confucian scholar who sat at my desk and read all day long. I had some yearning for this magnificent and bizarre world.

   Later, I saw such a tragic situation. "

  Su Houcang said slowly: "That's how people are, kill when it's time to kill, and always do something trivial to cover up their sins when they feel pity.

   The sword qi in the world, the arrogant qi in the chest, and the sword spirit full of vitality, when you think about it carefully, it really matches the immortal treasure.

  I found those two treasures, and I advised you to take part in the test before the palace. With all these things, I have done my best in this matter.

   As for the final result, it is beyond the ordinary to guess, you... do your best. "

   The corner of Lu Jing's eyes caught Su Houcang's tall figure at this time.

   He stood on the chariot with his hands on his back, and his face was extraordinarily elegant except for the fine beard.

   But when Lu Jing saw Su Houcang's eyes, he felt that the world's domineering and immortal murderous intentions were brewing in them!

   He and Lu Jing only met once, so Lu Jing rode his own chariot and came to this barren place to witness the suffering of Taixuanjing.

   This seems a little hasty and a little abrupt.

   But in fact, the reason why this big pillar country, who is domineering in the world, is actually doing this for the good obsession that he has left in his heart.

   Kill when you kill, save when you save!

   This is probably what Su Houcang holds in his heart.

   So Lu Jing, who was standing beside Su Houcang, nodded.

   "Lu Jing is willing to give it a try. If you can get the two swords of Wind-calling and Rain-calling, you can understand the rules of heaven, and Lu Jing will come to Hezhong Road again."

  Su Houcang lowered his head to think for a while, and solemnly reminded: "The spring thunder saber intent that you have brewed is already extremely extraordinary, but your qi and blood cultivation level is weaker, I'm afraid you can't hold the exhaling wind saber.

  If something cannot be done, you don’t have to hold on, just call the Rain Sword. "

  Lu Jing's breath was calm, even if someone like Da Zhuguo was on the side, he was not nervous at all, but solemnly agreed.

  Su Houcang's purpose of bringing Lu Jing to Hezhong Road has been achieved, so he thought about it, and the two BMWs riding on the stars let out a long hiss and walked towards Taixuanjing.

   "If you can really let the disaster-stricken area of ​​the river return to the green mountains and green waters, even if I, Su Houcang, owe you a favor."

   He sat on the chariot with a long breath.

  Lu Jing didn't think much, just shook his head: "There's no need to do this in Dazhu Kingdom, originally Lu Jing wanted to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to see the two treasures, Hu Feng and Hu Yu.

  Since the Great Pillar Kingdom came to seek me with good thoughts, I will naturally repay it with goodness.

  Since I wanted to see the grand occasion of the test in front of the palace, how could I accept the favor of Dazhu Kingdom? "

   "As for the disaster of the river..."

   Lu Jing said with a sincere smile on his face: "The Buddha said, saving a life is better than building a seven-level Buddha.

  The sages have a saying, pity the evil people, the kindness of the people, the urgency of helping people, and the danger of saving people;

   There is also a saying: Compassionate heart, benevolence!

  If it can save ordinary lives from disasters, Lu Jing is naturally willing to give it a try, why should Dazhu Kingdom use people to inform me? "

   Dazhuguo glanced at Lu Jing, and didn't say anything more, just nodded.

  The two of them rode the chariot like this and headed towards Taixuanjing.

   "I don't trust you alone in this matter."

   was about to approach Taixuanjing, and Dazhuguo suddenly opened his mouth and said: "I went to visit Nanguo Gongfu and met Nanheyu, the arrogant swordsman of Nanguo Gongfu.

   She nurtured an extremely rare feathered sword heart from an ordinary sword heart seed. Although she has shortcomings now, it is mostly due to her young age. After training, she will definitely gain the true meaning of kendo.

  Because of this, I also mentioned this in front of Nan Heyu, but I never took her along the river road.

   She still has weaknesses in her temperament, and she is still a little hesitant. If you meet Nan Heyu on the test in front of the hall, don't be surprised. "

  Nanhe rain?

  Lu Jing didn't care about this matter: "Since the two swords used to call the wind and the rain are used as the test eyes, it is natural for them to rely on their own abilities.

  If Miss Nanjia can mobilize the rain-calling sword, and if she can hold this immortal treasure to call down heavy rain, then Lu Jing will naturally bow down in the world of the river in the middle of the road. "

   Da Zhuguo's eyes moved slightly, he turned his head to look at Lu Jing seriously, and there was a rare look of interest in his eyes.

   "I know that Nan Heyu has some grudges with you. It's a good thing that you can treat him with such a normal mind."

  Lu Jingdao: "It's not a bad idea, since those things in the past are over, why should you keep a diary in your heart?

  I have nothing to do with the Nanguo Gongfu and Miss Nanjia, and I have never even seen Miss Nanjia from beginning to end. She is just a rumored character to me, so naturally I can treat her with normality. "

When Dazhuguo heard Lu Jing's words of magnanimity, he nodded lightly, and then said again: "I saw that Nanhe Yu's temperament is quite soft, I invited her into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and she always took care of the battle between the prince and the seventh prince. , taking into account that she took a look at the two swords that call for wind and rain, it would affect the Nanguo Gongfu, and she was always hesitant.

  Whether you can meet her in the Hall of Supreme Harmony is still unknown, so you don't need to worry too much. "

  ...If there are other officials in the court here, they will be surprised that Su Houcang, who has always been taciturn, does not like to communicate with others, and who has cultivated a supreme dominance with previous military exploits, is so approachable to a junior like Lu Jing.

   The conversation between the two even has some homely meaning.

   Here and now, it is late at night.

  Su Houcang's golden chariot flew into Taixuanjing and landed on Yanglu Street.

  Lu Jing bowed to Dazhuguo, and the two didn't say much more. Su Houcang just waved his hand at will, and the chariot flew up again and disappeared into the void.

  When Dazhuguo left, he glanced at the end of Yanglu Street from a distance, and shook his head again.

  Lu Jing seemed to feel something, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.

  Time has passed, and more than ten days have passed quietly.

   For more than ten days, Taixuanjing will naturally not change much, the only difference is...

   There seems to be a monster buried in Taixuan Beijing. In just over a dozen days, more than a dozen boys and girls have disappeared for no apparent reason.

   Moreover, these young boys and girls are not the sons of officials, but they often have well-off families, and most of them have no worries about food and clothing on weekdays, and they have never seen any suffering.

It is precisely because they have such a family background that many rumors circulate in Xuandu. If those people in Dongcheng or Beicheng who are rushing about in the streets and relying on begging and stealing to make a living disappear, not to mention the rumors, I am afraid. No one cares at all.

   Aside from this...

  Taixuan Palace issued the imperial edict. In one month, that is, the 20th of the first month of next year, the punishment of the seventh prince who thought about it behind closed doors finally ended. The sage personally passed down the decree, ordering the seventh prince to leave the palace and open the palace!

   This event is actually a happy event for the people of Taixuanjing.

   Royal affairs often affect the hearts of mortals. The opening of a palace by a prince is a big event even in this Taixuan Beijing.

   In order to show the royal majesty, the mansion of the Seventh Prince will inevitably decorate the streets, hang lanterns, and find many singing and dancing geishas to reward the people.

  Although the people don’t know who will visit the Seventh Prince’s mansion on the day the mansion is opened, and how luxurious it will be.

   They can see the street to appreciate their performances, and they can also drink some drinks and snacks from the prince's mansion, and eat some food that they can't eat on weekdays, and they will naturally be happy in their hearts.

  Lu Jing still followed the steps in the past ten days. In addition to reading and practicing every day, he went to the palace to teach the Thirteenth Prince, and went to the library to continue his brushwork.

   It’s almost winter now.

   Pedestrians on the street have basically put on thick padded jackets.

   On this day, Lu Jing was writing couplets in his room.

   After all, the New Year’s Day is approaching, so it’s not a waste of time to buy some New Year’s goods early and write some couplets early.

  Qing Yue was waiting beside Lu Jing, grinding ink for Lu Jing while turning her head to look at Lu Jing writing.

   In addition to using cursive script for the couplets prepared for our small courtyard.

  The rest of the couplet Lu Jing is written in capital letters to express solemnity.

   "Master Jing, I think this couplet is very well written.

  Dancing, phoenix, Xiangluan, Jingsong, and singing are everywhere to welcome the new year. "

  Qingyue read the words on the couplet in a low voice, her brows as always admiring Lu Jing.

  Lu Jing had long been accustomed to Qingyue's eyes, so he casually handed the couplet to Qingyue and said, "You guessed it right, this couplet is for my family.

  Go, let's go out and paste it together. "

  Qingyue was wearing a thin cotton padded jacket that was famous in Sanghuai House. She took the couplet from Lu Jing's hand, and Lu Jing brought the already boiled paste, and the two went to the door together.

   Qingyue is gentle by nature, but after all, she is a pure-minded daughter who has never been in contact with many people.

   This morning, the fog was reborn, and the cold air was gushing out. Qingyue walked beside Lu Jing, slightly opened her red lips, and breathed into the air, exhaling hot air.

  The heat suddenly appeared, and she reached out her hand again, disturbing the heat, and playing happily.

  Lu Jing looked at the girl beside him, looked at the couplet in her hand, and the small courtyard in his house that was well-maintained by Qingyue, feeling more and more...

A place like    is home.

There is Qingyue who takes care of this place every day. Waiting here, he reads, practices, and eats in the main house every day. After finishing his schoolwork every day, he always returns here without taking a break. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, he will still be here. Thinking about it, I wrote a few couplets and posted them at the door.

  Because of many things, this small courtyard is Lu Jing's true home.

   The two were busy smearing the paste, and carefully pasted the edge of the couplet, erasing the rhythm on it.

   On the gate of the small courtyard, there is such a festive couplet.

   "Master, how come we didn't criticize this couplet?"

  Qing Yue rolled up her sleeves, crossed her hips with satisfaction, and looked up and down for a long time before she could see some clues.

  Lu Jingdao: "Wait until New Year's Eve and then write it up. We have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve and post couplets, and there is a festive atmosphere."

  Qingyue tilted her head and thought for a while, and felt that Lu Jing was thinking exactly what she wanted, with a warm smile on her face and her eyes lingering on the couplet.

   is at this time.

   The door next door to Pei Yingui's courtyard opened, and Lu Jing subconsciously thought it was Miss Hancai who heard their voices and came out to take a look.

   But it turned out that the person who opened the door was Pei Yingui, who was wearing a white gauze, tall, and her long hair was casually tied behind her back.

   Pei Yingui stuck his head out, obviously with some hesitation in his eyes.

   "It's Miss Pei." Qingyue looked even happier when she saw Pei Yingui: "Miss Pei, wait a minute."

   She hurriedly ran back to the house, but she had already returned within a dozen breaths, and already had another couplet in her hand.

   "Miss Pei, my young master wrote this especially for your yard. The young master wrote it very seriously. In the morning, he said that when the ink is dry, he will send it to you."

   Qingyue handed the couplet in her hand to Pei Yingui.

   Pei Yingui's eyes fell on the couplet, and then he looked up to see the festive color at the entrance of Lu Jing's small courtyard. He didn't hesitate, and reached out to take it.

   Over the past ten days, Miss Hancai and Qingyue have often chatted about flowers and plants together, and occasionally went shopping together on the street.

  Because their relationship is getting better and better, they also took Qingyue and Pei Yingui to eat together a few times.

   All in all, Pei Yingui is no longer so cold than before. When he encounters Lu Jing alone on weekdays, he will stop and chat with Lu Jing.

   Pei Yingui spread out the couplet and looked carefully.

   But I saw the text on the couplet, which was written in extremely upright regular script.

   "God's will is a good plan in time."

   "This place of peace of mind is my hometown."

   Horizontal criticism: "Everywhere is happy."

   When Pei Yingui saw these two lines of text, his expression suddenly froze, and he looked up at Lu Jing.

  Lu Jingzheng explained casually while taking care of the bubbling bubbles on the couplet in front of the door: "This couplet is not flat, but I think the couplet is nothing more than expressing the vision in people's hearts, and flat is actually irrelevant."

   Pei Yin returned his eyes and looked at the couplet for a few breaths before saluting to Lu Jing.

   "It does have Mr. Lu Jing."

  Lu Jing just turned his head and smiled at her, since he was busy again.

   Pei Yingui did not go back to her courtyard, but stood in front of the door, watching Lu Jing and Qingyue work.

   After a long time, Pei Yingui said with these hesitations, "Hancai and I's hometown, in addition to posting couplets at the end of the year, we also have to hang lanterns in front of the door.

   Han Cai and I have already bought some paper and bamboo materials for making lanterns. When we are ready, we will bring them to Mr. Lu Jing and Qing Yue. "

  Lu Jing didn't refuse, and just like Pei Yingui, he said that it was work.

   Pei Yingui shook his head politely, but his footsteps were still a little hesitant.

  Lu Jing glanced at Pei Yingui, and when he saw the hesitation of the savior who usually spoke very few words, he had already guessed something in his heart.

   Until he finally smoothed out all the paste in the alliance, he clapped his hands, dusted off the dust on his hands, and asked, "Miss Pei, what do you want to say to me?"

   Pei Yingui, who was still hesitating, heard Lu Jing's question, but finally no longer hesitated, and looked up and said, "Actually, I told Mr. Lu Jing once before that I wanted to ask Mr. Lu Jing to help."

   "But it doesn't matter." Lu Jing was quite free and easy: "Miss Pei once helped me, and I always wanted to repay, but I never had the right opportunity."

Pei Yingui's cheeks were slightly red, and she glanced sideways at Qingyue, but she didn't shy away, she only whispered: "Hancai and I don't know many words, and when we were still in our hometown, we didn't communicate with people. It doesn't matter.

  But now that you are in Taixuanjing, it will be inconvenient if you don’t learn some characters, so…”

   Pei Yingui said so.

  Lu Jing was a little surprised, Pei Yingui was like a lady in both manner and words. Although his temperament was a little deserted, he treated people and things, and spoke and acted in a polite manner.

   He didn't expect Pei Yingui and Han Cai to be illiterate.

   "This matter is of course no harm. I am Mr. Shulou myself, and I also teach pen and ink. I will spend half an hour every day in the future, and I will soon be able to master a lot of words."

   "If that's the case, even if the sound is going to disturb Mr. Lu Jing."

   Pei Yin returned to greet Lu Jing and made an appointment with Lu Jing to enter the courtyard.

  Qingyue raised her eyebrows and smiled with a bit of self-satisfaction in her eyes, as if she was saying to Lu Jing, "Look, Miss Pei can't read, but I can already write a hairpin in small letters..."

  Lu Jing rubbed Qingyue's long hair and the two were about to enter the house when someone came slowly from the entrance of Kongshan Alley.

   That person was dressed quite strangely. He even wore a black armor in this Taixuanjing. At a glance, Lu Jing could see that this black armor was not the standard of several military camps in Taixuanjing.

   Pei Yingui, who had just walked into the small courtyard and was sitting in the courtyard, watching the white plum tree, suddenly changed her expression slightly.

   A cold light flashed in her eyes and disappeared in an instant.

   And the black armored man had already come to Lu Jingyuan and saluted Lu Jing.

   "Ask for a painting?"

  Lu Jing squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "I don't know why you asked for a painting?"

  The man in black armor was polite and courteous: "It's for my master. My master hopes that my husband can draw a picture for him...a magnificent palace tower."

  Lu Jing asked, "Who is your master?"

   "My master's name is Gu Chenxiao, he is the prince of Qi State, I have met with Mr. Wang before, Mr. Wang... Enze pen and ink.

  My master was really rude at the time, and now he has sent me to prepare a small gift, so I apologize. "

  The black armored man said with a solemn expression.

   And Pei Yin in the courtyard suddenly frowned...

   "Apologize?"

   "How could Gu Chenxiao apologize to someone?"

   Transition chapter, at the end of the month, don't forget to clear the monthly pass.

   (end of this chapter)
