Chapter 490 Old Man Panasonic
Deep in the manor, there is a single pine tree that can only be hugged by several people.
Although it is a solitary plant, its crown is like a cloud, and its outstretched branches cover an area of an acre, forming a large area of shade under the harsh sunlight.
Among the stretched branches, countless white birds stopped, chirping, combing their feathers, or jumping back and forth between the branches.
What’s even better is that there is a spring under the tree. It is blue in color and I don’t know how deep it is. The clear spring water gushes out from the spring and then flows down along a small creek.
The creek gully was obviously built intentionally. Among the lawns on both sides, small wild flowers bloomed in perfect bloom due to the nourishment of the spring water, and were not bothered by the hot sun at all.
Next to the spring, an old man with white beard and white hair sat cross-legged on a mat, closing his eyes and meditating.
A white bird actually flew over and landed directly on top of his head. It seemed that this man was also part of this pine forest.
The old man opened his eyes, smiled slightly, exhaled, and the bird on his head spread its wings and flew away, staying on the pine branch, looking back as if in disbelief.
The old man stretched out his hand, and suddenly a water column protruded from the originally calm spring. The water column became higher and higher. When it reached half a person's height, it divided into two parts. For four, it flew thinner and thinner, and then these thin streams of water suddenly emerged and flew towards the pine forest.
No matter where they are, whether they are far or near from the old man, whether they are exposed or covered by branches, at this moment, the white birds on the trees are caught by the thin water rope at the same time. Then the water rope retracted, and dozens of birds were dragged back.
If Li Dachui saw all this, he would immediately understand that this old man was an innate master.
Because in the past in Tai'an City, Zhou Zhi used similar methods to control the water flow and tied him up tightly, and he was severely spanked with a water whip.
The sound of footsteps was heard in the distance. The old man waved his hand. The water flow dispersed and fell into the dust. The white birds first fell down for a distance, then suddenly felt free and immediately fluttered their wings. , passed through the pine trees lightly, and went straight to the sky. It seemed that he was frightened and did not dare to stay here anymore.
The old man turned around and looked at a well-dressed middle-aged man running up the path.
It was at noon when the temperature was the highest, and the middle-aged man obviously did not have the old man's cultivation. He was sweating profusely, and even the clothes on his body were almost soaked.
"Father!" Seeing the old man, the middle-aged man immediately slowed down and stepped forward slowly.
"What's the matter?" The old man picked up a small cup in front of him, scooped a cup of water from the spring, and handed it to the middle-aged man.
After taking the water, the middle-aged man did not drink it, but whispered: "I just received the news that Wang Jun has died in Tonggong."
The old man was originally calm. His face suddenly stiffened, and sadness appeared uncontrollably on his face.
Wang Jun was once a famous general in Great Chu. He was a ninth-grade Xuanyuan warrior and a rare master in martial arts.
He opposed the Queen Mother's sole control of power and excluded dissidents. He once joined the rebellion launched by the emperor's biological father. After the failure, he absconded. Under his own arrangement, he went to Yong'an County and took refuge under Lin Heng.
Last winter, during the Yong'an Incident, Lin Heng was killed by men sent by the Queen Mother, and Wang Jun was captured alive and imprisoned in Tong Palace.
Tong Palace is where Tianluo specially detains felons.
After entering there, the chance of getting out is basically zero.
The old man knew that Wang Jun was imprisoned in Tonggong and why he was imprisoned in Tonggong, but he didn't have many ways to save him.
Because this is the bait to catch him.
Save, I have no ability.
If we don’t save him, Wang Jun may not be able to bear the torture there and implicate him. This must be the plan of Tianluo Lin Yunqi or the Queen Mother.
But there was one thing they failed to calculate, and that was Wang Jun's identity.
Wang Jun was not from a humble background as they thought. He was promoted slowly because of his favor. In fact, Wang Jun himself also had the surname Xiang!
The old man's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but think of the woman in common clothes who smiled gently at him behind the bamboo fence.
So, Wang Jun will not betray himself no matter what.
Moreover, Jiang Qian underestimated himself and the Xiang family too much.
Even in Tong Palace, he is not without spies. Although his status is very low, he is just a very small jailer in Tong Palace. He has no connection with the Xiang family. He is as innocent as water, but the clan has been in the family for hundreds of years. , how could there not be some hidden means?
Jiang Qian wanted to use Wang Jun to implicate herself, but unexpectedly her true identity was exposed in front of him.
When he first heard the news that Jiang Qian was an innate master and practiced Phoenix Lihuo, the old man could hardly believe his ears.
It’s Phoenix Lihuo again, and it’s the Demon Cult again.
The State of Chu is the birthplace of the Demon Sect. It can be said that they are in love with each other and fight against each other. On top of fighting against the State of Qin, they have always cooperated and fought.
Of course, the main theme of both sides is still struggle.
After hundreds of years of fighting, they never expected that the Queen Mother of Chu would turn out to be a saint from the Demon Sect.
No wonder the Demon Sect's Flood Flag and Giant Wooden Flag have turned to Da Chu over the years, and even helped Da Chu's court fight against Ruijin and other flags. Now that I think about it, this is the reason for everything.
After learning that Jiang Qian was a saint from the Demon Cult, the emperor's death became a mystery again.
When the emperor was still the prince, his body was indeed weak, but he did not have any fatal diseases. He was cared for by imperial doctors and protected by martial arts masters. He should not be a short-lived person!
But within two years of ascending the throne, he fell ill and died.
Now that I think about it, many doubts seem to have been solved.
When the person beside you is a witch, what’s the point of being a good guardian?
What if the emperor was murdered?
Since that time, this problem has been bothering the old man.
Where will Da Chu go in the future?
In the two years since Jiang Qian came to power, she has been very heavy-handed against the Chu royal family and killed many people. She wants to replace her. Does she want to be like the Empress Wu of the Dayong period?
As long as I, Xiang Ying, are here, you can never even think about it!
The old man stood up slowly.
For the sake of Da Chu, a few years ago, he did willingly step down from the position of general. He did not want Da Chu to fall into endless internal fighting because of his existence. At that time The great Chu State has just survived the disaster of life and death and needs to recuperate and recuperate. If the internal strife breaks out again just after the external troubles are gone, the disaster of national subjugation may be imminent again.
But it's different now.
The Qin State, Da Chu’s biggest enemy, has been torn apart. At this time, the chaos will be brought to order, and it will not cause fatal harm to Da Chu.
"Someone should come to Danyang in the near future!" the old man said.
