Chapter 289: Endless Death
Xiao Ye slowly pushed away Xi Lian'er, his eyes emitted an evil light, and said seriously: "Being able to marry Miss Xi and Miss Su is a blessing that I can't cultivate in eight lifetimes. However, the great disaster is approaching, and time is endless. I can't waste time on my children's love. It's better to make an agreement. If we are still alive after the disaster, I will marry you!"
As soon as these words were said, Xiao Ye was shocked and said without any sense of incongruity. Just like a veteran in the game, did his mind really turn gray?
"Okay, I and Xiao Lang agreed to this, unless I die, I will remain unswerving in this life!"
Xi Lian'er raised her right hand very seriously and nodded.
‘This way I will make a private order for life?’
Xiao Ye suddenly became confused.
Logically speaking, Xi Lian'er is comparable to Su Yue'er in terms of appearance and talent. Any man who can marry Xi Lian'er should be happy, but Xiao Ye feels like he jumped into the pit he dug.
‘Forget it, fortunately, there is a preset preface, and no one can tell what will happen in the future!’
Xiao Ye didn't think too much for the time being, so he took Xi Lian'er's hand, entered the house, and said, "You Suxin Sect practiced the seven emotions and six desires. I want to see it. Can you please give me advice?"
"Oh? Then Xiao Lang must be careful!"
Yi Lian'er's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous light flashed!
Objectively speaking, the seven emotions and six desires are emotions that originate from the mind, the tentacles of the mind connecting to the external world, and the reaction that intersects with the external world. The Suxin School uses the seven emotions and six desires as resources, which is essentially a method of cultivating the mind, and ultimately condenses a Taoist fruit that has no desires and no thoughts and is pure and thorough.
Compared with the practice of Suxin Sect, Xiao Ye's Dalu Heart Sutra can be regarded as putting the cart before the horse. One is to withdraw emotions and make the mind empty. The other has believed that the mind is pure and free from the beginning, and emotions arise from the movement of thoughts. However, the Dalu Heart Sutra does not force no desires or thoughts, but regards desires as floating clouds, like dreams and bubbles.
It is difficult to define who is superior to who is inferior to who is inferior to who is the cause and who is the result.
When Xiao Ye and Xi Lian'er competed, they did not have to compete with each other, but used the other's method as a reference.
The two stood opposite each other, on the surface unscathed, but in fact, the secret struggle had begun. Xiao Ye was so angry that the Daluo Heart Sutra was hanging behind his head, the pages of the book were rumbling, and characters hit Xi Lian'er one by one.
Xi Lian'er's mind fluctuated and fluctuated, and her eyes were sometimes soft, sometimes fierce, and sometimes extremely vicious. However, as the senior sister of Su Xin Sect's sister, she naturally would not easily take the Tao.
She carefully understood Xiao Ye's negative characters, used the Great Recruitment Skills, refined and absorbed them, and then used illusion to fight back. For a moment, it was difficult to separate and resolve.
"Xiao Lang, Empress Dowager Xuan, you entered the palace!"
At this time, the mind was like calling the Tao outside.
The two of them received the merits at the same time.
Xi Lian'er was still unsatisfied and said, "What method is Xiao Lang practicing? It seems to be in the opposite direction of our sect's mental method, but it has the same effect."
Xiao Ye smiled slightly, the Daluo Heart Sutra showed his palm and handed it over and said, "Take it and take it."
"oh?"
Xi Lian'er took it, but her face changed drastically.
The whole scripture has about dozens of pages, with gray covers and dark gray handwriting, but this is not the point. The key is that without a slight weight, the pages cannot be turned open. The material is as silk as satin, and it is smooth and has a sense of unreality when touched.
"Is this sutra condensed with spiritual power?"
Xi Lian'er dared not believe it.
You should know that even the old monster Yang Shen may not be able to do it. This is the fulfillment of all your wishes and skills are almost the same as Tao.
“Eh?”
Xiao Ye's heart moved, and the nebula in the sea of consciousness condensed into a sword and emerged from his head, but it could not appear. As before, it could only be used in special environments such as the Ghost and God Temple or the Underworld.
He separated the literary spirit and the official spirit, and each imagined it into various things, but it was impossible to show its appearance.
Strange!
Why can the scriptures only appear in the world?
Is this how the original version of the Tao Te Ching came from in this way?
So do I also have the potential to become the head of a ‘family’?
Xiao Ye suppressed his inner shock and did not get into the horns for the time being. He pondered: "I don't know what's going on. When my mind moves, the scriptures will come out. Don't tell others about this. You can read this sutra on your forehead. I will go to the palace first and think about it later."
"I know, I will serve Mr. Xiao first!"
Xi Lian'er's beautiful eyes were radiant. She looked at Xiao Ye. After a while, she took the official uniform and updated Xiao Ye. Then Xiao Ye and Xinruyi entered the palace and met the queen mother in Jixian Palace.
"My minister Xiao Ye bowed to the Queen Mother!"
Xiao Ye knelt down and bowed honestly.
"Yeah~~"
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Our army has recaptured Shibao City. Tubo is willing to sign a letter of nationality with our Tang Dynasty. From now on, Shibao City will return to the Tang Dynasty forever. The court must send envoys to Tubo. You are the chief minister of the court and are in charge of Tubo affairs. Today, Zhou Xing recommends you to me as an envoy. What do you think?"
Xiao Ye immediately thought to himself that it was not good.
This is the disadvantage of not being qualified to go to court, and people are still confused when stabbing the knife in the back.
Everyone knows the holidays between them and Tubo. When they go on a mission to Tubo, they will definitely not have good results, and they may still have their lives to worry about.
However, the Empress Dowager was asking for her own opinions on the surface, but in fact she had already made a decision. Otherwise, when Zhou Xing proposed at the court meeting, she should have blocked her for herself.
Xiao Ye said helplessly: "I am willing to go to Tubo for the Empress Dowager, but I am only following the sixth rank. I am afraid that the rank of Tubo will be too low."
"Do you want me to increase your post?"
The Queen Mother said expressionlessly.
"I have no merits and dare not ask for an official!"
Xiao Ye hurriedly said: "I recommend Zhou Xing, the young minister of Sibin Temple, as an envoy, and I am the deputy envoy."
"oh?"
The Empress Dowager's expression became more exciting.
Shangguan Wan'er even covered her mouth violently and almost laughed out loud. This is really a matter of dying.
Xiao Ye's expression remained unchanged and he looked up at the empress dowager.
"Well!"
After a while, the Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "I promoted Zhou Xing to the Minister of Sibin Temple and the Deputy Envoy. Five days later, I will go to Tubo to envoy. You can go back to the small world and bring some people to Tubo to experience it. But I warn you that if you ruin my affairs, you will never let it go."
"I will receive the order!"
Xiao Ye gave another tribute, slowly retreated, returned home, and talked about the matter of being on the voyage to Xi Lian'er. Xi Lian'er immediately said, "I'll prepare too, and follow Xiao Lang to Tubo."
"Who will contact the court after you left?"
Xiao Ye said in surprise.
"I'll just invite Junior Sister Yue'er back!"
Yi Lianer smiled slightly.
Xiao Ye said: "Then let everyone Su follow me to Tubo, you stay in Luoyang!"
"Bang!"
Xi Lian'er punched Xiao Ye hard without anger: "Xiao Lang doesn't want to be with his concubine?"
Xiao Ye said for granted: "You will handle the information exchanges with the court. Everyone in Su is not as familiar with you. It is your best thing to stay!"
"Xiao Lang doesn't have to worry about this."
Xi Lian'er smiled sly and said, "What if the junior sister Yue'er voluntarily stayed?"
"Well?"
Xiao Ye's eyes flashed. This was impossible.
"Okay, I'm going to send a letter to my junior sister. Humph, I'm sure I can see that Xiao Lang only has the junior sister in his heart!"
Xi Lianer hummed sourly and returned to the room.
Xiao Ye went to the front and guided Xiao Ze and others to practice. Generally, he had a cultivation level of one to two kalpas, and he felt a little slow.
Gradually, it became dark, and Chen Zi'ang and others came uninvited. Although Xiao Ye had given enough croaker meat, they would come to Xiao Ye to catch the autumn wind whenever they had the chance, and called it: to communicate while eating.
Xiao Ye didn't care. He cherished friendship and looked down on things outside his body.
Jiang Fang was run by Princess Taiping to Dali Temple a month ago and served as the chief clerk.
Compared with Dushuiguan, the chief clerk of Dali Temple has a higher gold content. From the seventh rank, he was in charge of seals. Any official who paid for the crime and was exempted from snow were all set up books. One kilogram of copper was redeemed for private crimes and two kilograms of public crimes, all of which were one kilogram of burden, and ten kilograms of burden were one hall. Every year, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War issued a certificate to the selection of the people in the palace and recorded it.
