Tai Sui is very big
Bigger rivers and lakes
In Daxing City, there was an old lady of the Jin family who had lived for ninety-nine years. He cut off the flow of the river outside Tonggu Academy, and shocked those self-esteemed guys in the academy. status is getting higher and higher. It's a pity that she didn't even have time to make a move in the end, and she was chopped into two along with the three floors.
In Liuzhou City, there was an old man from the Chen family who hid himself to practice cicada kung fu. He hid in his shabby room for thirty-six years. In order to deal with the one sword that he feared most, he cultivated a pair of cicada wings that can fly into the sky. It's a pity that he still couldn't escape the sword, and ended up living in a cave.
The old dean Wan Xingchen seems to be aimless while holding the ancient sword, but in fact he has a clear goal.
Xian Luo City
Tongu Academy
Dong Qingfu sat blankly by the bed in the study and looked outside. There were several secret letters on the table, all of which were not good news. The old pervert who had terrified him all his life finally walked out of Chang'an City, and regarded the rules he set up by himself as farting, but he could do it, others couldn't, and even farting could shake the world.
Because he is Wan Xingchen.
In fact, Dong Qingfu didn't know why his ancestors reached an agreement with Wan Xingchen. Although he was old enough, he was really just a child compared to Wan Xingchen. When he took over Tonggu Academy from his father, he once asked, what did Wan Xingchen do in this academy back then, so that all the heads of the great families in the Central Plains were silent, and finally agreed to those who listened to Wan Xingchen? Sounds like an unreasonable request.
But his father refused to say anything, Dong Qingfu just saw the strong and inextricable hatred in his father's eyes.
He doesn't know what happened in his father's generation, but he can't forget the humiliation he encountered more than 30 years ago. From that day on, he also understood why the hatred in his father's eyes was so strong when he was dying.
More than 30 years ago, Wan Xingchen wrote a letter to everyone who had a seat in Tonggu Academy. The letter was very short, only seven words.
Come to Chang'an, or I will go.
But with these seven words, everyone in Tonggu Academy had to travel. The reason why a real aristocratic family can stand for hundreds or even thousands of years is not just the accumulation on the secular level. Without the absolute support of big people, no matter how much wealth and status is, it may be destroyed after all. But ever since the birth of Wan Xingchen in the Central Plains, their dignity has become somewhat worthless.
More than 30 years ago, because of a letter from Wan Xingchen, some people from Tonggu Academy entered Chang'an city one after another. In the back mountain of Yanwu Academy, Wan Xingchen smiled and said to them that the reason why he invited you here is to tell you something, he paused and said, your fathers can't beat me, so we are safe. Because although I am strong, I don't have the idea of killing me casually. Although your parents have the desire to kill me, they can't kill me.
It's good to live in peace like this. I brought you here because your fathers are dead. I know that the people who follow the rules are gone, so I have no choice but to repeat the rules.
At that time someone asked, the rules you said are the rules
Then Wan Xingchen cut off a button of everyone's clothes with a sword, smiled and said: "Your father asked me the same way back then, and I knocked out seven of his teeth. Today I am in a good mood, so I only cut off every one of you. A button on a person. Just to let you remember, not what I say is the rule, when you can easily kill me, what you say is also the rule. This is exactly the purpose of my coming to tell you to be obedient. "
the rules are
No matter what happens, great practitioners who are above the Brightness Realm and above are not allowed to participate in the court battle. Wan Xingchen knew that the aristocratic family had backgrounds, but he was not afraid, he didn't seek to subdue them one by one, but called everyone together to tell his truth.
It has to be said that the Yang family found a good backer.
Although Wan Xingchen only cut off a button on Dong Qingfu's body, it was no different from knocking out seven teeth, or slapping seven ears. It is their self-esteem that is humiliated, very strong self-esteem.
"Elder Dong."
A man in charge asked cautiously, "What should I do?"
"what to do?"
Dong Qingfu looked away from the window, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "What else can I do except wait for him to come, he is very old and is going to die, so he intends to take more of us away before he dies. He himself broke the rules he set, but we have no way to sanction them, because those are the rules he set."
"Just wait?"
The steward asked.
"You all go back and tell your master."
Dong Qingfu was silent for a while and said: "Wan Xingchen's departure from Chang'an is a bad thing, because many people will die, and they are important people, but thinking about it from another perspective, it may not be a bad thing, because he is about to die... Although I They may die, and other old guys may die, but after we die, no one from any family will be threatened by Wan Xingchen. You can breathe a sigh of relief in the future, because the successor Wan Xingchen is looking for is also dead."
"You're right, at least your sons and grandchildren don't have to think about me anymore."
The voice came in from the window, very soft and clear.
Dong Qingfu's face changed, and after a moment of silence, he waved his hands: "Let's all go, he won't kill you."
"Why?"
The steward said fearfully: "He has already killed several people."
Dong Qingfu snorted coldly: "Because you are not qualified."
Those stewards looked at each other in blank dismay, but they had to get up after all, and then got together and left the room.
In the yard, under an old pine tree, the hunchbacked old man was sitting on a stone bench, looking at the mess left by someone on the stone table who had not had time to clean it up. He was a little dazed. fall. The situation suddenly came to life, and the flowers were bright.
The stewards were a little surprised, and thought that Wan Xingchen, the world-famous No. 1 man in the Sui Dynasty, actually looked like this. He looked no different from those peasants who brazenly drank wine on credit in taverns, and had nothing on him. His imposing aura is even less domineering.
It was far from the image in the legend, so they couldn't help being a little dazed.
"The boy surnamed Dong just said one sentence that made sense."
The old dean looked at the chess moves that were already alive, shook his head, picked up the chess pieces he had just dropped and put them back into the chess box, and the situation immediately became stagnant again.
"After I die, many people will feel at ease."
The old dean glanced at those people: "But before I die, everyone can't rest assured."
Dong Qingfu came out of the room, looked at the foolish stewards and cursed to get the hell out, and then they realized it and ran out immediately.
"How many are you going to kill?"
Dong Qing asked seriously.
"Although I am old, my memory is still good."
The old dean smiled: "I remember that there were twelve people in Tonggu Academy who could sit down and talk, and two of them really saw through the world, even worse than I saw, and left everyone behind. It has been more than ten years since I traveled to the East China Sea together. There is a little girl in the Jin family who is terribly afraid of death, so she wants to practice some one-finger magic. What kind of cicada skills are you practicing? The one from the An family, the one from the Song family, the one from the Liu family... counting you, there are only six. But I can’t walk anymore. After you, I have to go back to Jiangbei, and save some energy for the last one. thing."
"Counting it, it's halfway through. Although it's not enough, it's barely worth the trip."
…
…
"Wan Lao, may I ask you a question before I die."
Dong Qingfu tidied up his clothes, sat down on the stone bench opposite the old dean, glanced at the mess on the stone table, picked up a sunspot and put it where the old dean left it before, and frowned . It seemed that once the case fell, the situation of Black Flag would turn around immediately, but looking back, it was just a situation where both sides suffered losses.
He suddenly discovered that the hunchbacked old man in front of him was that sunspot.
"Just ask."
The old dean said: "You are the most promising one among the twelve people. When I cut off a button from each of you in Chang'an City, everyone pretended nothing happened, but you found a needle and thread from your luggage and sewed it on." I picked one up. I was also very curious at the time, what kind of temperament would allow a person of your background to carry things like needles and threads, and what else you would not prepare."
Dong Qingfu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I thought I could prepare everything, but I found that I only brought a spare button."
This is very helpless.
"Old Dean, why did you agree to the request of Emperor Taizu of the Sui Dynasty?"
He asked very seriously.
The old dean frowned and pondered for a while, then seriously replied: "Forgot."
"forget?"
Dong Qingfu was stunned, never expecting to get such an answer: "You have forgotten why you agreed to Emperor Taizu's request in the first place, but you have been guarding Taizu for more than a hundred years!"
"I forgot why, but I remember what I promised."
The old dean said: "Is this not enough?"
Dong Qingfu thought for a long time, then stood up and walked into the distance: "I don't understand, but I think it's enough. Just now you said that I am a person who can even prepare buttons, needles and threads when I travel, so I also prepared for today. Some things, people have to fight for their lives, even if they know they can't."
The old dean nodded: "This is why your Dong family can still sit at the top of the academy even though it has fallen."
"At the beginning, our Dong family lost the Central Plains, and Da Zhou's world was taken away by Da Zheng, but fortunately, we returned the Dong family to snatch this academy. Although we paid more, we gained a lot. Back then, those people regarded Da Zhou as Like playthings, later our Dong family became one of the people who played with Da Zheng, and that feeling is indeed better than being an emperor."
Dong Qingfu took a deep breath, and made a gesture of invitation: "Please help the old dean."
…
…
When the people in Xianluo City heard a loud noise, they all looked up at the academy halfway up the mountain. They were surprised to find that the academy that had stood for hundreds of years had collapsed. The iconic building that symbolized the identity of the academy The stone tower collapsed suddenly. The strange thing is that the stone tower did not fall down as a whole, but was disconnected from the middle.
The break is very strange, very neat.
It seemed to be cut off by a huge sharp weapon, but how could there be such a sharp weapon in the world
Outside Xianluo City
A hunchbacked old man walked slowly along the official road to the north, and looked back at the slanted and disconnected stone tower.
"Ahem..."
He coughed a few times, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, a plum blossom was stained on the handkerchief.
"It's not easy to know how to borrow the momentum accumulated by the academy for hundreds of years."
He shook his head, with concern in his eyes.
The ancient sword in his hand made a clanking sound, as if it was about to fly out of the scabbard by itself.
In the academy
Dong Qingfu didn't expect that she was still alive, but found that it was more uncomfortable to be alive than to be dead. The old dean drew his sword, cut off his whole body, cut off the stone pagoda, and also cut off the power that several generations of this academy had worked so hard to raise for hundreds of years, but he didn't kill him. He thought he could have a good fight with Wan Xingchen by relying on these, but he didn't expect Wan Xingchen to make only one sword.
"If you don't fly to the sky...you are also a fairy."
He muttered something, and then jumped into the well in the yard: "You pity me, but how can I pity myself? The Dong family died by itself, and there is no Great Zhou royal family in the world."
