I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 43: Can’t I go to Xuantianjing?
Tiger cub monument!
Chen Zhian has heard the name of the Tiger Cub Monument countless times since he started practicing.

The people whose names are engraved on the Young Tiger Monument are well-known throughout the world, such as Si Hougui, the third son of the Si family, and Li Fushu, whom Chen Zhian always remembers.

These two people are among the more than 300 characters on the Young Tiger Monument. There may be more than 10 billion people in the whole world, and those who can rank more than 300 among the younger generation are indeed not to be underestimated.

"The names of the strong are inscribed on the Tiger Cubs Monument, and they become even stronger after being inscribed on the Tiger Cubs Monument..." Chen Zhian pondered in his heart.

Chu Muye's crane robe looked as good as new. He looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly asked, "Chen Zhian, don't you want to know whether Qi Tianchong is dead or alive?"

"You cut off one of his arms. If he died, that would be fine. But if he's still alive, aren't you afraid?"

Chen Zhian replied nonchalantly, "It's not that I'm not afraid, but even if Qi Tianchong escapes, he has committed a serious crime of assassinating the Minister of War, an official appointed by the court. Even if there are many storms in the court, I'm afraid Qi Tianchong and even the entire West Penglai will have to hide for a few days. Zhian thinks that at least within half a year, I don't have to worry too much about Qi Tianchong and West Penglai."

Chu Muye's eyes flashed with admiration, but he shook his head: "Three days ago, when you chopped off his arm in the yard, you said you were not afraid of death. Why are you afraid now?"

"Death can be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather." Chen Zhian gritted his teeth and got out of bed, saying, "Uncle Chu is a good friend of my father. He has taken care of me during the Huangmen Painting Academy incident and the fight to the death with Zhou Xiujing, and even saved my life. Qi Tianchong and Uncle Chu were both injured, and I cut off his arm. If I can help a little, I am naturally not afraid.

Plus... the high-sounding words of Xi Penglai have indeed deceived some people in the martial arts world and among the common people, but if you look closely at their actions, they are just a group of bandits who rob and kill people for property. No matter how many slogans they shout, they cannot wash away the blood on their hands, just like the Wu Zhu Mansion under the Lotus Mountain.

The entire Wu Zhu family was massacred, and more than 400 orphans were not spared. This makes me really... angry.

With this anger, if I draw my sword, even if it is heavier than Mount Tai, it must be heavier than a feather, so I am not afraid. "

"Heavier than Mount Tai, lighter than a feather?" Chu Muye raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You are just a humble eunuch, but you do have some chivalrous spirit."

At this point, he seemed to recall something and sighed, saying, "But in today's Dayu, those who are chivalrous and willing to help the weak often don't live long.

In Xuantianjing, there is a Taotie sitting on the clouds overlooking Dayu. He deceives the emperor, appoints villains to important posts, and cruel officials emerge one after another. The court and the people are becoming more and more terrified and solemn.

Outside of Tianjing, a dark cloud covers the sky and the sun. Countless noble families are doing dirty things under this dark cloud. There are fewer and fewer people doing things in the government and the country. The chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes are always swallowed up by this cloud... The world today is not good. Sometimes you have to suppress your temper in order to live longer. "

Chu Muye advised Chen Zhian very seriously, and Chen Zhian also knew that Chu Muye was teaching him.

"I will count this as your meritorious service, and you will be rewarded in the future." Chu Muye added, "If you hadn't come that day, by the time Qiu Sanxiu arrived at Dongfeng Street, I'm afraid I would have lost my life.

So Chen Zhian, you also saved my life, Chu Muye will remember it carefully. "

The incoming Vice Minister of the Ministry of War spoke very seriously, even calling his own name in front of a junior like Chen Zhian.

Chen Zhian knew that Chu Muye was making some promises. He thought of the incident at the Huangmen Painting Academy and was about to say that it was even.

Chu Muye suddenly took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Your father sent me two letters yesterday. One was for me, and the other was for me to pass on to you."

Chen Zhian was somewhat surprised. He took the letter and opened it in front of Chu Muye without hiding it from him.

He read the letter carefully, then let out a long breath, with some helplessness in his eyes.

"So, saying he would be back in January was just a lie to me. He told me before that he was going on a long trip, and he actually did go on a long trip this time."

Chen Zhian thought silently in his heart: "Father went to Xuan Tianjing, but I don't know where he will go after leaving Xuan Tianjing."

Thinking of Xuan Tianjing, he suddenly understood why his father lied to him.

For Chen Shuijun, the most painful thing is separation.

He had experienced a separation before, and that separation lasted for seventeen years. During those seventeen years, Chen Zhian only remembered that Chen Shuijun became more and more silent, and his expression would be much more relaxed only when he talked to him or took care of the pear blossoms.

Parting and reunion are the plays that are constantly performed in the world. Only when you get used to it, you won’t be sad.

But Chen Shuijun obviously had no right to get used to it, because in the past seventeen years, Chen Shuijun and the person he missed had never met again.

So Chen Shuijun wanted to leave quietly, so that they could meet again quietly one day, perhaps with less reluctance to part.

"Well...but my father did leave me some things." Chen Zhian read to the end of the letter and then carefully put it away.

"Your father is still in Xuan Tianjing. I don't know if he has seen your mother."

Chu Muye also felt a little sad. He recalled the time more than ten years ago when he, Chen Shuijun and Li Yinxi studied in Yankong Academy. Eighteen years had passed in a flash.

Chen Zhian was more worried: "Father is always taciturn and not good at speaking. He always accommodates others and acts gently. This kind of person is the easiest to be bullied. He went to Xuan Tianjing, but I don't know if the Li family and the Si family humiliated him."

"Chen Shuijun is not good at speaking and acts gently?" Chu Muye laughed suddenly and said, "Did you know that your father participated in the imperial examination and became a county magistrate?"

Chen Zhian was quite surprised and shook his head.

Chu Muye laughed: "Then do you know how much trouble your parents caused in Xuan Tianjing? What did your taciturn father do?"

Chen Zhian was about to ask in detail.

Chu Muye, who was originally very interested, suddenly looked towards the courtyard and ordered someone to open the door.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhian saw the broad-shouldered and broad-backed General Xuan Zi stepping into the courtyard.

Li Bodu walked slowly over with his hands behind his back.

He was wearing a long black robe, had a majestic face, a tall stature, and extremely sharp eyes, which gave people tremendous pressure.

Chen Zhian saluted Chu Muye calmly. Chu Muye knew that Chen Zhian wanted to go back to Qihuang Street, so he waved to him and told him to do as he pleased.

So Chen Zhian walked through the yard. He never looked at his uncle, and Li Bodu never looked at him either. The two of them just passed each other like this.

"General, have you ever drawn your sword against the best warrior in the world?" Chu Muye invited Li Bodu to take a seat and made tea himself.

Li Bodu was silent for a few breaths, then shook his head: "Gong Longsu is too powerful. He came from afar, crushing the clouds in the sky. A dragon was faintly revealed in the clouds. It was not his divine appearance, but the mount he caught from Longzhu Temple." "When he stood there, it was like Mount Tai coming in person, like the raging sea forming waves. I suppressed the fear in my chest and wanted to draw my sword, but my true energy and even my divine appearance were suppressed by such terrifying power."

When Chu Muye heard what Li Bodu said, he did not think that Li Bodu was weak at all.

"Gong Longsu's martial arts are as powerful as Kunlun and Dragon Gate. It is not shameful to be suppressed by his martial arts spirit. General Li does not need to mind. It is a blessing that he came to Tiger Hill but did not refine the spiritual veins of Tiger Hill. Now that he has left Su Wu Mansion, the general can rest assured."

Li Bodu nodded slightly and said, "Gong Longsu came here, and the government office and Songhuai Army were too nervous, and neglected the safety of Minister Chu. Bodu came here specially to apologize."

Chu Muye was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "General Li, is the opinion of the aristocratic family so important? Chen Zhian is Li Yinxi's son no matter what, and he also has the blood of your Li family flowing in his body. Why do you hate him so much, General?"

Li Bodu was obviously surprised when he heard Chu Muye suddenly mention this matter.

He picked up the cup and drank tea, saying, "The blood of an aristocratic family is naturally precious. Lord Chu is not from a poor family, let alone a commoner. The Chu family is a big mansion in Hejian and a family of literary heritage. Don't you know that it is a shame for a girl from an aristocratic family to marry someone like Chen Shuijun?"

Chu Muye said: "The court established the imperial examination to allow ordinary people to have a way out. Chen Shuijun was the top scholar in the fourth year of Dazhi. He graduated from Yankong Academy and his cultivation and talent are also quite good.

If such a person is given some time, even if he cannot ascend the Riding Whale Monument, he will surely make achievements in his official career. The Li family's keeping him at a distance has caused many tragedies.

Yin Xi... is also a victim."

"Yin Xi is naturally a victim." Li Bodu shook his head: "Chen Shuijun's luck is indeed very good, winning the top spot, but his background is destined to make him have no great achievements, let alone compare with the six surnames of Dayu.

At that time, my father intended to marry Yin Xi to the young patriarch of the Xie family, but they quietly gave birth to a bastard, which made my father lose face and prevented our Li family from making further progress.

"Does Lord Chu know about these past events?"

"Of course I know." Chu Muye paused while pouring the tea, and then put the purple clay pot into the fire. "But I also know that it was the Li family who broke the promise first. What's more... General Xuan Zi, the Li family has you, Li Bodu, and Li Zhoubai. The master of the Li family is in a high position. If we add Chen Shuijun and Li Yinxi, why do we need to rely on the Xie family? Why do we need to rely on marriage between children? Can't we go one step further with the four of you?"

Li Bodu's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Without the supernatural power and the amazing articles, how can our Li family make further progress? Chen Shuijun practiced the Four Seasons Cicada. I told him at that time that the Four Seasons Cicada is extremely difficult. Countless predecessors have tried their best but failed. He can't practice the Four Seasons Cicada.

He has cultivated for his entire life, but is still at the Unpolished Jade Stage. How can my Li family make further progress by relying on him?"

"Now we can only place our hopes on Zhou Bai. If he can be named on the Riding Whale Monument, our Li family's prosperity will be able to continue for decades."

Chu Muye frowned slightly: "General, how do you know that Chen Shuijun really can't catch the four-season cicada? Maybe Chen Shuijun has made great achievements in swordsmanship, so he went to Xuan Tianjing to get the sword he left in Li Mansion."

"Chen Shuijun went to get the sword?" A hint of surprise flashed across Li Bodu's eyes, but then the smile on his face became even more intense: "Xuan Tianjing is the Xuan Tianjing of the noble family. The door of our Li Mansion is still out of reach for Chen Shuijun! He...can't pull out that sword."

Chu Muye shook his head, seemingly amazed at Li Bodu's stubbornness.

However, his next words immediately made Li Bodu slam the table and stand up.

"I plan to take Chen Zhian to Xuan Tianjing."

"Hmm? Absolutely not!"

-

Chen Zhian endured the severe pain in his body and returned to the familiar courtyard on Qihuang Street.

After a few days of absence, the pear blossoms fell all over the ground.

Spring is fading, and the pear blossoms in the yard are about to wither.

This was the first time Chen Zhian entered his room after Chen Shuijun left.

His room was simple and tidy, with just a bed, a table, a futon and walls full of books and manuscripts.

He took the books off the shelf as the letter said, and saw two yellowed classics placed deeper inside.

"You had already practiced before I left. Now I think you have already gotten a glimpse of the secrets. Once you have gotten a glimpse of the secrets, you will understand the profound arts more clearly and it will be easier for you to comprehend the secrets of the profound arts."

This is what Chen Shuijun wrote in the letter.

Chen Zhian was a little surprised. For more than ten years, Chen Shuijun had been acting as an ordinary person and had never taught him how to practice.

He is now over seventeen years old. After Chen Shuijun passed away, he left behind two classic books.

One of the books was a method of true essence, which Chen Zhian read carefully.

"This Zhen Yuan method is quite precious. It starts from nourishing Qi and can be practiced all the way to the Unpolished Jade Realm. It should be a third-grade magic method, but... it is not as good as my White Jade Cicada Shell Chapter."

He opened another book, and after studying it, his expression finally changed.

"The third-grade profound skill, the Furnace Body Refining Treasure Record... My father was very thoughtful. He started by cultivating Qi and training the body at the same time... It is quite appropriate for me to practice this profound skill now."

Chen Zhian carefully put away the body-refining technique and put the other magic book back. When he glanced, he saw a piece of straw paper next to Chen Shuijun's pillow.

There was a line of poetry written on the straw paper.

"I have someone I miss, who is far away."

Chen Zhian read out the poem silently and shook his head again.

He thought of Xuantianjing, the Li family in the capital, Li Fushu, and the woman in white that he often dreamed of...

"Can't I go to Xuantianjing?"
