"It feels so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable~~What is going on? Why do you feel this way?"
Wu Ji knelt on the black ground, pointing her fingertips toward the unknown material of the underworld, but was slightly bent by the hard ground.
Her whole body was shaking at this time, as if she was having an illness.
"What exactly is this mask? Why do you say there is a problem, and what should I be careful about?"
Wu Ji's breathing became rapid, "Where are you, where are you? There have been more nightmares these days. Isn't it a way for evil souls to seize the body? But I am a member of the Wu family, why?"
Words fell one after another.
Wu Ji lay half on the ground, her whole body tensed up, her black boots were lifted up by her feet,
She was like a wounded female animal, continuing to speak illogical words.
The words flowed from fragment to fragment, but could not be coherent.
Xia Ji hid silently behind the stone wall.
After about half the time of burning incense, Wu Ji disappeared into the underworld again, and Xia Ji returned to Jinghu Lake.
…
The next day.
Lu Miaomiao had mixed rice paste early in the morning, and was putting on the words "Fu" while wearing cat-head slippers. Her white jade ankles were wrapped in soft socks, and she kept moving in and out of the slippers, following the "ta-ta-ta-ta" footsteps. Running around.
Seeing Xia Ji, she waved sideways and made a cute face:
"Good morning, uncle~~"
After saying that, she held the word "Fu" between her arms and hot rice cereal, and ran over with a "da da da" sound. When she got to another door, she started to brush the rice paste, then raised her hands high and started to paste blessings. Character.
The manor in Jinghu is very large. It is obviously a big project to put blessing characters and couplets on all the houses.
Xia Ji quickly finished his breakfast and went to help.
The light of winter morning is warm and soft,
Although the wind is cold, it is clean and fresh.
After a while, it was almost noon.
Lu Miaomiao breathed out, rubbing her little hands, her cheeks flushed. She glanced sideways at the silver-haired man who was also busy, and shouted from a distance: "Uncle, it's almost noon, I'm going to cook, do you want to eat?" What?"
"There are just two of us, we can just do whatever we want."
"How is that possible?"
Lu Miaomiao said, "Forget it, I'll see for myself."
She put on her apron and started busy in the kitchen.
At this time, the incense was in full bloom in the ancestral hall outside Jinghu Lake, making this afternoon full of tranquility and Zen.
Many people who came from far away burned incense at the lakeside and toward the center of the lake, and then bowed or knelt down and shouted words such as "Happy New Year, Master".
Xia Ji turned away and understood immediately.
The smoke rising from the kitchen announced that he was back on the island.
Therefore, those who come to the Confucius Temple to make wishes come to wish themselves well in the future.
He smiled and felt the movement in the direction of the kitchen, feeling an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
Speaking of which, Lu Miaomiao had been with him unknowingly for eight years. Except for Xiao Su, the two of them had spent more time together than anyone else.
Xia Ji couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Man, you are really deceiving yourself. While talking about topics that require reason, you really feel the warmth, but you will no longer care about reason. It is really ridiculous, but you are willing to become ridiculous.
In any case, at this moment, he was like a traveler who jumped into a dry well being chased by a tiger. The dry well had poisonous snakes, and he was clinging to the green vine that was about to break in mid-air.
On the green vine, a drop of morning dew is gathering and dripping,
So he raised his head, briefly forgetting about tigers and poisonous snakes, and concentrated on enjoying the sweetness of this drop of dew.
This drop of dew suddenly transformed into Lu Miaomiao. Like an elf, she walked out of the mysterious fog and broke into the same foggy world.
After all, the two people actually don't understand each other at all.
There was no exchange of secrets at all.
Even their personalities are completely different.
Intellectually speaking, this is simply not a match.
But feelings have never had anything to do with reason. At this moment, Xia Ji understood.
He was even a little scared, so he suppressed his feelings for a short time and sat cross-legged with Lu Miaomiao at the long table.
Outside Jinghu Lake, at the Confucius Temple, fireworks were everywhere, exploding into a garden in the sky.
Colorful purples and reds bloom in late winter,
Bright, beautiful, but short-lived.
"Uncle, are you watching the fireworks?"
"Are fireworks beautiful but short-lived?"
"I don't think so, because... we can see fireworks every year, and beauty briefly decorates our lives, but it is not all of life."
"Oh~ Miaomiao has become very philosophical today, so what do you think life is all about?"
"I don't know either, and this is what I need to explore with my uncle."
Xia Ji smiled. He did not define life. Anyone who has a definition will inevitably fall behind.
"Let's move!"
"Okay~"
"Uncle, would you like to drink some wine? I will drink some too."
"Okay~"
"Uncle, can we take a walk after dinner?"
"Okay~"
"Uncle, you have to absorb the cyan fire as soon as possible, okay?"
"Okay~"
"Uncle, would you like to wear couple clothes with me?"
"Okay~"
No matter what Lu Miaomiao said, Xia Ji nodded gently.
"Cheers~ I hope the uncle will break through to the eleventh realm soon." Lu Miaomiao's cheeks were flushed, and she looked at Xia Ji tenderly with a pair of strange eyes.
Xia Ji even had an impulse at this moment. He wanted to tell the woman in front of him that he was already at the peak of the Eleventh Realm and had a thousand years of life. He hoped that she could improve faster and break through earlier.
But he couldn't say it.
How could such a thing be said out loud
From the beginning, all the interactions between the two were based on lies and fog. So how could real flowers bloom
"Miaomiao, it's time for you to work hard."
"Oh, I'm born with a domineering body, I can live forever, uncle, don't worry."
"Born with a hegemonic body?" Xia Ji fell into silence. How could Miaomiao actually believe this obviously deceptive statement
So, he said: "Miaomiao, listen to me, no matter what, you still have to practice and break through to the peak of the eleventh realm. What if uncle breaks through but you don't live to be a hundred years old?"
Lu Miaomiao pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to practice."
Xia Jidao: "I'll teach you."
Lu Miaomiao looked up at the man in front of her, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded reluctantly.
During this New Year, Xia Ji was not alone.
He suddenly understood that being in love may not be wonderful. Two people have their own world and their own persistence, but they can still be together. This is what makes people's hearts beat.
You need to understand the other person, but don't change the other person, and don't force the other person to think the same as you. This is the best relationship.
Yin and Yang have always been incompatible with each other, with clear boundaries. No one is the slave of anyone else, but it is precisely because of this that Tai Chi can be born from rotation.
This is the way of heaven, isn't it also true for feelings
…
Years later, fireworks in March.
Da Zhou successfully completed the annexation of Northern Shang.
Ji Xuan needed to go to the ancient mountain Daizong, pass through the Pure Land Lotus Temple, hold a Zen ceremony, worship the gods, and erect stones to praise the virtues of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After that, he needs to tour the country. Firstly, he follows the tradition and consolidates his rule. Secondly, he worships the famous mountains and rivers to express that he is ordered by heaven and is the master of mountains and rivers.
As the emperor's master, Xia Ji naturally needs to be accompanied.
He never refused and accompanied the destined son, who was destined to be unable to reach the peak of the eleventh realm, through the years that were slowly approaching the end of his life.
Glory comes to him, but his longevity is coming to an end day by day.
Ji Xuan once looked for Xia Ji and expressed with fear that he didn't want to die. Xia Ji smiled and told him, "I still have the Five Color Order, so I can take him in and resurrect him later." Ji Xuan felt a little relieved, and then He urged Xia Ji to accept him quickly.
Therefore, in addition to Zuo Ci and Xia Qingxuan from Jiudingdan Palace on Abbot Island, the Five Color Order added a third person - the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Master followed the emperor to become the Zen Daizong and patrolled the world.
Along the way, he took the opportunity to distribute his "Elephant Scroll" and "Expanded Edition of the Ten Thousand Dharma Scrolls".
Five years later.
The mission of patrolling the mountains and rivers is completed.
Xia Ji is forty-nine years old, and Lu Miaomiao is also twenty-nine.
The two stayed together day and night, and their relationship increased a lot, but in the end they never took that step.
Lu Miaomiao knew that the person she loved deeply was not willing to delay her, so as long as he did not break through to the peak of the eleventh realm, he would not marry her.
And she was also making progress slowly every day under the guidance of Xia Ji. However, for some reason, the years had not left a trace of vicissitudes on her face. She was like an immortal witch, always maintaining her original appearance.
Ji Xuan returned to Juye City and the palace had been built.
Then came the appointment of the queen, the imperial concubine, and the draft...
And all of this is well arranged.
The five major families sent five female disciples. The Su family directly occupied the position of queen because of the emperor's master, and the other four families assigned four imperial concubines.
Soon, the queen became pregnant and gave birth to a boy named Ji Chang.
Since then, the Su family has split into two separate families.
Separate families and join the world,
Soon it became the top family in the world with thunderous momentum. This is a typical family that jumped to the sky through the queen, and there is nothing unexpected about it.
The following year, the remaining four imperial concubines gave birth to children one after another, and each major family also split into corresponding branch families. These branch families were called the four major families in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The four major families are each in charge of the lifeblood of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the military, political, business and even the good and evil in the world...
Since then, the five great aristocratic families have retired and once again hid behind the scenes.
Maybe there will still be many people mentioning these five aristocratic families at this time, but as the years go by, fewer and fewer people will mention the five major aristocratic families.
Coupled with Dazhou's deliberate confidentiality of information, it won't take many years for the five great families to become legends that few people know about.
Instead, the tip of the iceberg was revealed, the number one family in the world, and the four major families.
At this time, Ji Xuan has become a tool man. He seems to be active, but in fact he is passively going through the step-by-step process.
Naturally, the generals, Wen Shou, Yin Jun, and national advisors have also been replaced by the second generation.
Finally, the Su family also sent someone to replace the emperor's master.
After all, Xia Ji's mission of teaching Ji Xuan has been completed, and the next step is to teach Ji Chang, which naturally requires a new imperial master.
Xia Ji completed the handover.
Before leaving, Ji Xuanzhao informed the world that Xia Ji was officially canonized as the "Saint Master of the World", and everyone should pay respects to him when they see him.
Although the name of Master is spread throughout the world, the title of Holy Master of the world is personally proclaimed by the emperor of a dynasty.
The first generation of generals, Wenshou, Yinjun, and national advisors have all returned to the aristocratic family to make breakthroughs in the small world full of spiritual energy.
And Xia Ji knew early on that he would never be able to return to the Su family.
He cannot survive and cannot break through the eleventh realm. This is the bottom line for the ancestors.
At this time, according to mortal calculations, he was already fifty-four years old, and Lu Miaomiao was also thirty-four. They had been together for nearly twenty years, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they had a good understanding of each other.
Xia Ji returned to Jinghu Lake, took one last look at these familiar scenes, and put away Zanghe's transfer station.
Because from now on, this place will be returned to the Su family.
And he needs to travel far.
Lu Miaomiao combed his silver hair and said softly: "Shall I take you to the north? Even if the aristocratic family gives up on us, we ourselves cannot give up. You can definitely break through in the north and south."
After saying that, Lu Miaomiao gently hugged Xia Ji from behind, gently rubbing her cheek against the side of his face, with tears streaming down her face.
She no longer knew how many tears she had shed.
She couldn't understand why the noble family would give up such a powerful wife.
He also couldn't understand why such a powerful master couldn't break through the eleventh realm.
You know, even ordinary people can step into the eleventh realm after awakening their bloodline and reaching the peak of the three mysterious methods of essence, energy and spirit. And almost all the mysterious methods that people in the world have broken through now come from Master.
But why, Master, who has taught everyone in the world, cannot awaken his bloodline himself
She was numb.
Xia Ji glanced at the woman whose appearance had never changed and wiped away her tears. He had persuaded Miaomiao many times over the years to let Miaomiao go back, but this girl was so determined that she refused to leave.
"Bei Nan, let's set off tomorrow morning, okay? There is always a way."
"Okay~"
…
…
The war is over and the world is prosperous.
The door of Jinghu Manor is permanently closed.
A carriage parked by the lake started from the south, traveled tens of thousands of miles, passed through mountains and rivers, and then arrived in the north.
When we arrived, the fallen leaves were still green, but now it was raining and snowing.
Today's north is still extremely turbulent.
But Dazhou seems to be encouraging and supporting those warriors who are willing to go to the outskirts of the robbery land.
Every warrior can obtain materials for free outside the Tribulation Land, and if he is strong, he can also obtain some pill support for free.
Rows of houses were built, specially built for warriors going to the land of robbery.
The houses are numbered, and the closer they are to the front, the more luxurious and comfortable they are.
These houses even formed small cities, like soldiers stationed on the border, surrounding the robbery from a distance.
But with the expansion of the robbery area, these cities are destined to continue to move out.
Xia Ji and Miaomiao concealed their identities and wore face-covering cloaks. After a little show of strength, they obtained a stone house at the top of the ranking.
The stone house has an independent courtyard and is quite spacious.
