Chapter 1295 The old king Xietang Qianyan
Luyang is close to the southern wasteland, and the hot summer is the most unbearable. Walking outside is like being in a steamer, and the billowing heat surrounds the body, giving people the illusion that their home will be cooked at any time.
But when a group of merchants entered a garden under the guidance of a beautiful maid, they suddenly felt a cool breeze, like a spring breeze blowing on their faces. It was indescribably refreshing and pleasant. Looking up, they saw green trees, gentle waves, and beautiful lakes and mountains. There are many courtyards and small buildings dotted in between. The layout is exquisite, which has the feeling of corresponding to the stars above and the earth's veins below.
"What a place! What a layout!" The leading merchant stroking his short beard couldn't help but praise loudly.
With his ability in exterior scenes, it is not difficult to see that there is a terrifying forbidden law hidden under the beautiful scenery of the garden, which makes those who live here feel at ease.
The charming maid, wearing a thin skirt and gauze, smiled slightly and said: "Let the distinguished guests know that this garden is a famous place in our Luyang. It is called Zhiyang Garden. It was originally the ancestral property of the Song family. Later, the branch branch split up. Falling out of the direct line, the heir was fond of gambling and lust, so he was eventually given to my master to entertain distinguished guests. "
"Zhiyangyuan...Song family..." The leading merchant was stunned and said hesitantly, "But the Luyang Song family? There were several prime ministers in the previous dynasty, and the Luyang Song family was once suppressed by the Law Body?"
The maid nodded with a smile: "It is the Song family in Luyang, one of the fourteen famous families in the past."
The visitors were all amazed. They looked around again and said with emotion:
"I didn't expect that I would have another day to visit and stay at Luyang Song Family Children's Garden..."
"If it were the previous one, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get close!"
"It is worthy of being a top aristocratic family back then. Just from a garden, you can get a glimpse of what it was like in its heyday."
…
During the conversation, the leading merchant nodded slightly, exhaled, and said to the maid:
"Your master is indeed extraordinary and sincere."
As he spoke, his eyes lingered on the scenery of lakes and mountains, with mixed feelings in his heart.
For a newcomer like me, who came from a poor background and relied on the Human Emperor to rule the world and the Demon Emperor to teach the Dharma, he was lucky enough to set foot on the outside. It was really wonderful to be able to enjoy the style of the top aristocratic family back then!
During the previous dynasty, I was young and energetic, full of fantasy, but I never expected to be able to swagger around in a place like the Song Family's Zhiyang Garden in Luyang.
Who could have imagined at that time that it would be today?
When he was sighing, a carriage was parked outside Zhiyang Garden. The carriage was engraved with a pattern of crossed swords, which was the symbol of the Luyang Song family.
The car curtains were half open, and a face with deep wrinkles at the corners of its eyes was fixedly looking at the garden. It had gray hair, a decadent temperament, and a hidden glint in its eyes.
The driver of the car waited quietly without saying a word. Every time he passed by this place, his master, the current head of the Song family in Luyang, would always stop and watch for a while, as if recalling the family's heyday.
"Let's go to Wuyou Building." Song Quan slightly turned his head, closed his eyes, and sighed slightly.
The coachman was stunned and said: "Master, if you go to Wuyoulou again, the old lady will scold you..."
"If you don't go to Wuyou Building, where can you go?" Song Quanlue smiled bitterly and leaned on the back of the soft chair.
The driver did not dare to say any more and drove Song Quanluo through the streets and alleys to the riverside where there were many flower boats, and stopped in front of a quiet small building.
Song Quanluo was familiar with the journey and ordered the commonly used Yajian and the world-famous Wuyou wine. He also ordered an oiran singer who was good at playing and singing and had a deep and clear voice.
"Still the old rules." Song Quanlue nodded slightly to the singing girl, walked to the recliner and sat down, pouring and drinking.
The geisha seemed to have long been used to it, sitting casually, playing the pipa, and singing soft and melodious songs.
Song Quanluo drank in silence for a quarter of an hour at the wonderful sound. When he was slightly drunk, he slowly stood up with the wine bottle in hand, walked to the window, pointed to the majestic rolling mountains on the other side of the Chuan River and said:
"Did you know? That place was once the ancestral property of my Song family in Luyang. I own all the minerals and spiritual herbs within a hundred miles!"
The geisha seemed to turn a deaf ear and continued to play the pipa and sing beautiful songs.
Song Quan slightly didn't care and didn't even need to respond. He took a sip of wine and said to himself:
"Once, yes, just once!"
"In the past, our Song family in Luyang conquered the Southern Kingdom and became famous all over the world. We were listed as one of the fourteen aristocratic families. There were members of the political hall for generations. We ruled the world together with the Zhao family in the divine capital. Even if the children we valued in the family were guilty of serious crimes, they would be punished. No need for imprisonment.”
"In various parts of Nanzhou, there are many blessed mineral lands that belong to my family, and many strong masters have bowed their heads and obeyed orders. In Luyang, where the ancestral home is located, there are even rumors that Song Qizhao and other families will divide the remaining ones."
"I was born in such an environment, and I caught up with the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty when it returned to glory. I was extremely arrogant. Although I was defeated by the 'Crazy Sword' Su Meng at the Qionghua Banquet, I woke up. Come here and take a step further in the martial arts, but still be proud of your status and don’t look at ordinary experts with a straight eye. The journey of enlightenment and travel can be called a scenery. "
He was chattering a little, talking about what he thought of. The geisha playing the pipa continued to play and sing, but the song gradually turned sad, in line with the changes in the mood of Song Quanlue.
"At that time, I had a nickname called 'Shi Dao Ci Jian'. I liked it very much, and I was always very proud of it. After that, I opened the nine orifices smoothly, became acquainted with heaven and man, half-stepped on location, and was promoted to the first class, surpassing the ordinary disciples of the same generation. I don’t know how many ordinary people there are, let alone ordinary people in the world." Song Quanlue held the wine glass and looked at the distant mountains, still recalling the glorious past. "When the Emperor came to the world, the whole Zhao family was surrounded, and all this beauty was still going on. ”
"When the Demon Emperor spread the spark to the world, allowing them all to practice peerless skills, the major families and sects also gained a lot from it, comprehending many secrets, perfecting the foundation of the family tradition, and the cultivation of the disciples became more and more vigorous. , even if there are more and more people who are addicted to the knowledge of the world, those who can make good use of this thing will start to strive for excellence, and the achievements of one person can be equal to the achievements of two or three. "
At this point, Song Quanlue was a little confused and said, "When did the current situation start to show signs?"
"By the way, it started from the time when the emperor of the world sealed the rooftop, and was able to confer the title of land, mountain gods, city gods and generals in various places. Shinto supervision and protection began outside the original court hall. It is no longer a lie to have gods three feet above his head..."
"Although the Fengtian Tower has not fulfilled its full function, not only the upper four floors were damaged, but also the three central floors were affected. The number of gods above the Dharma body and above such as Xianbo, Xingguan Celestial Master and so on who were granted the title by the emperor is extremely limited. However, in every big city, The fact that they are all guarded by city gods of the level of a great master is enough to make people awe-inspiring, and this also makes the importance of the major sects of the aristocratic families who have not yet developed the Dharmakaya and have to suppress their luck with divine weapons to decline sharply. "
"When the Human Emperor proves his own legend, it is everywhere. In his eyes, the top aristocratic families and sects like us are already ordinary subjects. First, they are deprived of the right of grace. They are no longer able to hold the post of shepherd and guardian in the state and city where they live. Political affairs The court must have a place of glory, and all court officials must have passed the civil and military examinations, without exception... The gods such as the city god and the land will confer meritorious services. "
"The next step is that all aristocratic families and sects must declare their property, and must not hide it. The same taxes and grains must be paid..."
"In the end, it was the court officials and the six-door spies who instigated the branch branches of each family to split up. Because Shinto was supervising overhead, many insidious methods could not be used. We could only watch these greedy and deceitful guys divide the ancestral property, just like The many mineral deposits in that mountain range are like Zhiyang Garden..."
Song Quanlue's voice became a little sad: "My old father, the right servant of Shangshu of Jin Dynasty in the past, was so angry and depressed that he died in such a situation where he was unable to resist..."
"I often think that if I had Su Meng, the Crazy Sword, no, with the talent and hard work of the Yuanhuang Immortal Lord, I could attain the Dharmakaya as soon as possible, set foot on the earthly immortal world, and become a heavenly immortal, these things should be avoided..."
When the book is used, you will feel it is less, and when your strength reaches the waves, you will feel it is weak!
"It should be possible to avoid it..." Song Quan slightly squatted down and held his head. The grizzled old man was like a helpless child, muttering to himself, tears streaming down his face, "It should be possible to avoid it..."
The singer's voice slowed down and she sang in a low voice:
"Seeing him feasting on guests, seeing his building collapse! I once slept in this moss-green tile pile, and watched the rise and fall of fifty years. That Wuyi Lane is not named Wang, the ghosts of Mochou Lake cry at night, and the Phoenix Terrace dwells Owlbird. The dream of ruined mountains is the most true. It is difficult to lose the old environment. If you don’t believe this map is changed, I will sing a song of "Lament for Jiangnan" until you grow old..."
This is a piece of music from the universe of all realms. I don’t know who wrote it, and many of its allusions are also unknown. But the sadness, vicissitudes of life, and the feeling that the glitz has dissipated and the bright moon remains unchanged still makes many people experience the change of dynasties. Those who had an unsatisfactory life seemed to have sympathy for each other, so it spread.
"Seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse..." Song Quanlue sang along, his voice hoarse and inexplicably sad.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the sound of laughter came:
"The emaciated camels of our family are bigger than horses. The Song family in Luyang has preserved many properties. Not only does it make a lot of money every day, but also the children in the family are outstanding. In the future, whether they take martial arts or civil examinations, they will have a way out. Why should Brother Song be so decadent? ?”
Song Quan looked over and said in shock: "Zhang Yuanli?"
The person who came was none other than Zhang Yuanli, a good friend of his when he was young, Zhang Yuanli of the Zhang family in Longnan. His father is still alive, so he has not become the head of the family.
Zhang Yuanli looked middle-aged and said with a smile: "Brother Song, the world is not controlled by people. If you can't change the world, you have to change yourself. Don't you see, the Wang family of Zhou County is now fully developing the academy, with Wang Zai as the chief mountain leader?" , specializing in civil and military examinations, and becoming prominent again? "
In response to everyone's request, I will try writing this. .
