Chapter 65: It's Enough If You Have This Heart
The sun shines, through the layers of leaves, leaks to the bluestone path, turning into spots swaying in the wind.
The men and women in black walked together to the depths of the forest garden. The hustle and bustle of the square in the distance continued, but they had not spoken for a long time.
Wu Qingwan's temperament is still dignified and intellectual, but the sadness on her gentle cheeks cannot be concealed. Her eyebrows are furrowed, and she doesn't know how many things she has considered in an instant.
Zuo Lingquan walked beside him, and the faint fragrance of orchids drifted to the tip of his nose with the spring breeze, but he didn't have the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him.
He had just noticed that something was wrong with the national teacher. Jiang Yi told him the seriousness of the matter. As long as the national teacher is ill, the five division commanders of Qihuang Valley will inevitably lose their current position, and it is more likely that Jiang Yi and even the little emperor will be brought down together.
These things have nothing directly to do with Zuo Lingquan, but they involve people around him, so he cannot not care about them.
After following the bluestone path, Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth first and said softly:
"Senior Wu, what's wrong with the National Normal University?"
Wu Qingwan pursed her lips, just shook her head, and said nothing.
She speeded up and took Zuo Lingquan to a rockery between the gardens; raised her hand and pressed her on the bluestone of the rockery, and the stone in front of her slowly moved away, revealing a road leading to the underground.
Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't ask much, and followed Wu Qingwan to enter the underground.
The underground passage is located in the middle of Qihuang Valley. It has rich spiritual energy, but the air is also filled with a little smell of medicine.
Zuo Lingquan followed Wu Qingwan and came to the end of the passage. He saw a stone chamber and the water curtain cave in the same shape. On the wall were the ancestors of Qihuang Valley.
On the stone bed in the middle, an old man with white hair and beard lay flat on it, with thin bones as thin as firewood, and waxy skin, so old that he could no longer see his appearance. If it weren't for the fact that his flesh was still there, it would not be surprising that he was mistaken for his bones.
These white talismans were floating around the stone bed, and they showed a blue stream of light in series with each other. There was also a pile of white jade zhu next to it. It was supposed to be a formation.
Although I can't see my original appearance, I must be the national teacher Yue Pingyang who can lie here.
Zuo Lingquan looked a little solemn, walked up to him, raised his hand and bowed first.
The national teacher Yue Pingyang and Zuo Lingquan have heard of it since childhood in Qinghe County. It is said that he is almost 150 years old and has protected the Great Dan Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. No one can match his merits or prestige. This has been seen for more than two years since Yue Pingyang disappeared, and no monk dares to act rashly.
Wu Qingwan walked to the stone bed and sat on the side of the futon on the ground, signaling Zuo Lingquan to sit down as well.
Zuo Lingquan sat on the cushion, looking at the national teacher who was already in the wind, and didn't know what to say.
Wu Qingwan's eyebrows were filled with sadness, and she brewed a little, and then she softly talked about the past:
"Master was born in the Great Pill General. At that time, Qihuang Valley was passed down for less than a hundred years, and there was only one spiritual valley monk in the valley. After a long time, there were wild cultivators. The beasts entered the country to harm the people. The master had great righteousness. In order to eliminate the disaster, he stepped into the door of practice. At the age of twenty, he came out of the Great Pill and worshipped on the Jingtai. He went there for forty years...
...The master's talent is actually very good. At the age of Jiazi, he reached the sixth level of Linggu, and there is no suspense in his step into the Wuhuang. But when his master started his practice, he did not make a living for immortality. Even if the elders from Jingtu kept him repeatedly, he decided to go to the master and return to the Great Pill...
...The Great Dan Dynasty had thin spiritual energy and poor supplies, so it could not support the practice of the sixth level of Linggu cultivators; the master was unwilling to provide him with the power of the whole country to support him alone, and his cultivation stopped for nearly a hundred years...
...During this period, the master accepted five disciples; the fourth senior brother had the opportunity to take over, but the fourth senior brother accidentally offended someone when he went out, and was beaten to become disabled on the arena where the Nine Sects selected their disciples...
... Seeing that the fourth senior brother's great way was cut off, the master accepted me as his disciple again, hoping that I would inherit my legacy; but before I even got out of the master, my master's health became worse and worse...
... The master fought for a lifetime, leaving countless secret injuries, and his cultivation level was stagnant for too long, and it was almost at its limit. We were not a good match. The master was afraid that after his death, the great elixir would cause chaos again, so he could only go into seclusion and forcefully break the realm and extend his life. Unfortunately..."
When Wu Qingwan said this, she stopped talking, and only sadness remained in her eyes.
Zuo Lingquan had heard of the deeds of the national master and had always admired him in his heart, so naturally the same was true at this time.
But admiration is one thing, and the actual situation is another. As long as the national teacher is not present, no one can shock the slut. If we don’t find a way to solve it, we will hide the power of the fox and make the tiger avatar sooner or later ruin the reputation that the national teacher has accumulated in previous years.
Although Zuo Lingquan felt a little reluctant, he still said:
"Why don't you tell Jiang Yi about this?"
Wu Qingwan shook her head and said in a faint voice:
"I don't want to make Jiang Yi embarrassed. Master is not as good as before. Even if the court is considering Master's merits and considering peace, it will ask Gao Ming to replace him...
...I know Jiang Yi's personality. Yu Gong, she must change others. But for private reasons, Jiang Yi was led by me and had a deep relationship with Qihuang Valley. As long as the national teacher was replaced by an outsider, it would basically be changed from top to bottom. Several of our teachers, as well as direct disciples, etc., would become external sects and ask for food from others. When we fall into this situation, Jiang Yi will definitely not bear it. If she tells her, she will have a heart disaster no matter what she does, and the great way may be broken in the future."
Zuo Lingquan understood the meaning. If the national teacher replaces people, it is not just a simple matter of changing the leader. Once the emperor is in his or her minister, the new leader will be given priority to his or her resources, such as Bai Yuzhu, Tianzi, Earth treasures and other resources. How can people in the practice become promoted if they have no such resources?
Zuo Lingquan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "But the paper can't keep the fire. Sooner or later, it will be impossible to keep it hidden. Today, Cheng Jiujiang is so arrogant, he must have guessed that the National Master is in a bad state. How many division commanders can have a solution?"
Wu Qingwan was worried because of this, and she sighed quietly:
"Cheng Jiujiang didn't even want the quota to go to the Nine Sects, and he also wanted to test the national teacher's reality. It can be said that he predicted that his master was not as good as before. Even if he forced him away today, he would definitely come to find fault in some time. We are not the opponents of Cheng Jiujiang. When he will come, we will probably be able to get kicked out of the house at the time of his life. What can we do if we can do it."
Zuo Lingquan thought about it, but he was helpless. The national master should have been a strong man, but he was not worthy of his position and still stood in a position and did not leave. It was unreasonable in terms of justice. Cheng Jiujiang came here by himself, and Jiang Yi had no reason to protect Qihuang Valley for personal gain.
Wu Qingwan folded her hands around her waist, hesitated, and looked at Zuo Lingquan:
"Now, if you want to keep Qihuang Valley, you can only have another person who can stand alone; the disciples sent out in the past either have insufficient cultivation or have already lost contact; even if they have sufficient cultivation and can be connected, and if they are unwilling to give up the Great Dao and come back, we cannot force the order. This will ruin each other's incense."
Zuo Lingquan saw Wu Qingwan's slightly resentful eyes and was silent for a while, feeling a little powerless:
"I'm only at the twelve level of Qi Refining. No matter how powerful I am, I can't take charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, who would dare to make a rash in Qihuang Valley?"
Wu Qingwan turned sideways and faces Zuo Lingquan:
"Actually, you don't have to be the head of Qihuang Valley. As long as you work harder, practice faster, and make your own reputation outside, the monks of the Great Dan Dynasty will be afraid of you. In this way, even if Qihuang Valley is occupied, you can still bring back the foundation of your ancestors in the future, because you are afraid that you will not have the intention."
Zuo Lingquan was stunned. He sat upright and said seriously:
"My character, Senior Wu, still doesn't know? As long as I enter Qihuang Valley, I will keep my spare time to take care of it within my ability; but now I am talking about these things. No matter how fast I practice, it will take time and cannot solve the current problem."
"It's enough for you to have this heart."
