The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 22: A person lives for a lifetime, like grass and trees for a season (Seeking follow-up reading)
(Oh my god, the timer failed. Three chapters will be updated today.)
In the Penglai elixir room, the eternal flame of the lamp burns the elixir.

After a long time, the Earth Immortal Pill was produced.

The pill was steaming and Liang Yue roared.

"Golden Crow!"

"Ga!" The Golden Crow swooped down and snatched away the golden elixir.

Swallow it while it is hot, and a trace of fire from the eternal lamp flame will be preserved in the body of Jinwu.

"come over."

The Golden Crow grew to one meter tall. Liang Yue touched the beast's head, and the internal Qi in his body combed the Golden Crow's bloodline.

Jinwu's progress is very slow, but if it continues like this for many years, it will definitely become extraordinary.

"I wonder if you can transcend your life span." Liang Yue murmured to himself.

The next day, early morning.

At the first light of dawn, the sky in the east began to turn pale.

Outside the fort, there was a lot of noise.

Today is the day of Xie Anshi's funeral, and the farewell procession of thousands of people is quite spectacular.

Liang Yue and Shi Quanzi watched all this on the wall.

"The romantic history of Jiangzuo has come to an end."

Liang Yue witnessed the end of an era.

During the short-lived reign of Xie and Ma, the pattern of sharing the world began to decline. Major events in the court can always be reflected in other aspects.

Can Xie Xuan, who controls the most powerful army in the world, still successfully grasp his power?

So he asked Liu Chong to be careful and stay away from the vortex of power as much as possible.

The Xie family is a top wealthy family. Even if they lose power, they will not die because of it. At most, they will be promoted in name only and demoted in reality, and return home to retire.

But his wings are different, and the successor must clip them before he can control the Northern Palace Army.

"What a pity that a generation of Northern Expedition heroes has come to an end here." Shi Quanzi's voice was dry and hoarse.

"Senior, you seem to be very interested in the Northern Expedition?" Liang Yue asked.

"Shanbo, do you want to know my common name?" Shi Quanzi asked back.

"Senior, if you have difficulties, don't tell me."

Liang Yue turned around and went back. All he was thinking about now was his own name.

Liang Shanbo, Liang Shanbo...

It’s actually this name.

Back in the courtyard, my grandmother was basking in the sun. She was old and slept more and spoke less the whole day.

Seeing Liang Yue coming to pay his respects, the grandmother asked in confusion:

"Yue'er, why hasn't Yingtai come recently? Did you make her angry?"

"Yingtai graduated and returned to her hometown in Yuzhang."

"Did you really make her angry? She has been living in our house all this time, isn't she fine? Why don't you quickly get her back?" Grandmother wanted to pick up the dragon-headed cane and hit him, "Why don't you worry about your lifelong affairs and leave a descendant for the Liang family!"

The grandmother loved this sweet and adorable little girl very much, especially when she pretended to be a man, she was even more lovable.

The grandmother didn't point it out and just watched the little girl perform.

Now that I have lost this girl, my heart feels empty.

"Well, I'll visit next month."

……

There is a reopening day, and no one is young.

"What a good poem! This poem is a farewell poem for Xie Anshi, which is a perfect match."

The news of Xie Anshi's death spread all over the world, and his last Qushui Liushang performance in his life is also well-known.

Especially this poem "Flowers may bloom again, but people will never be young again" has aroused widespread resonance.

Liang Yue also had the nickname "Jiangzuo Madman".

Of course, the title of this madman did not bring any substantial benefits, and not everyone is as broad-minded as Xie Anshi.

Some people don't like crazy people, thinking they are unstable and can easily backfire on them; some people like them but don't dare to recruit them easily because of external influences.

Liang Yue’s reputation could not be “cashed in” in this way.

This move was exactly what he wanted.

The emergence of Kuangsheng has helped many scholars find a new track.

The scholars in the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties liked to act out their personalities. Because Liang Yue became famous, many of them began to learn the character of a madman, but ended up being beaten half to death by the aristocratic families.

Yuzhang County.

The mountains are undulating, the rivers are winding, the forests are shady and the trees are huge, so the county got its name Yuzhang.

Poyang County is famous for its superior richness.

Zhu's clan land. As a second-rank noble family, Zhu had more than ten people serving as officials in the court, including the Chief Censor, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, and the Governor of Yuzhang.

Zhu Yingtai's father, Zhu Gongyuan, was the Secretary of the Imperial Court. Although it was a fifth-rank official, his position was equivalent to a fourth-rank military official or a corrupt official because he was an idle and honest official.

When a noble family becomes an official, the higher the rank, the better. There are many tricks involved.

The Zhu family's backyard.

A woman in a water-green Confucian dress was walking slowly in the garden, her face hidden by a round fan, her rings and pendants silencing, looking like a lady from a noble family.

Suddenly, a butterfly flew past me.

The lady "revealed her true form", put down her round fan, revealing her delicate and beautiful facial features. Her face was wearing the yellow forehead makeup that was popular among the ladies of the gentry, and she looked as solemn as a Buddha statue, elegant and beautiful.

"Catch it!"

The girl chases butterflies, and her jewelry jingles.

"Miss!" the maid chased after her, "Be careful, the lady will scold you."

Zhu Yingtai failed to catch the butterfly. Instead, she was sweating all over and leaned against the railing, gasping for breath.

"Yuting, why are you so anxious? Madam won't scold you." Zhu Yingtai said with a smile, "Huh, I haven't moved like this for a long time."

As she spoke, Zhu Yingtai became depressed.

There is no pattern on the round fan, only two lines of poetry.

"Nung, moon and new moon."

After more than two months, Zhu Yingtai understood her own feelings.

If Liang Yue came to visit, she would introduce her "sister" to him.

Anyway, no matter whether he believes it or not.

The naive girl looked sad for a rare moment. She should be at a lively age, but the only reason she could show such emotion was because of her feelings.

Zhu Yingtai, who was in a depressed mood, did not notice a beautiful middle-aged woman approaching.

Looking at the poems on the round fan, the woman seemed to be in a trance for a moment and her expression became cold.

"Forget about it, he won't come!"

Zhu Yingtai was startled and turned around, only to find that it was her mother.

"Mother, how did you know..."

"I carried you in my womb for nine months, how could I not know what you were thinking? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have sent you to Taihu Academy. Don't go out anymore. Stay at home and wait for your father to make arrangements."

"I don't care. I'll just wait for him to visit, mother..." Zhu Yingtai hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly like when she was a child.

It didn't work this time.

Zhu's mother said coldly:
"You are a fool, and he is a smart man. If he is a rational person, he will definitely understand the gap between the poor and the nobles."

I had heard about Zhu Yingtai's experience in the academy before, and I was quite impressed by this young man with some talent, but this talent was not enough.

……

Liuzhuangwu Fort.

It's a new day.

Liang Yue practiced the Eight Animal Kung Fu.

After the exercise, the two drank tea and admired the lake.

Shi Quanzi suddenly spoke up and said, "Shanbo, do you know the song that Zhu Yingtai sang during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"I know, but I don't understand it. It should be the ancient Yue dialect." Liang Yue was deeply impressed. The song was very nice.

"I can understand it. This is a song of the Yue people from the ancient Chu State."

What night is this? I am floating on the island in the middle of the stream.

What day is today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince.

I was humiliated and loved, but I did not blame the shame. My heart was annoyed but I could not stop thinking about it.

There are wood in the mountains and branches in the wood, and the heart is happy and the king does not know.

"I understand." Liang Yue stood up suddenly, his eyes shining and his gaze firm.

In an instant, the state of mind is complete and the spirit is clear.

The circulation of true Qi in the body has increased a lot, and following your heart is the right way.

A person lives for a lifetime, and the vegetation is for fall.

A calm and still well is not the point of being free and unrestrained; giving up all feelings and thoughts is not the point of cultivating immortality.

Ning Yangzi's life is not what he wants.

Two thousand years is too long, live this life well first.

"Next month, we'll set off for Yuzhang!"

Shi Quanzi suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I know there is an ancient Taoist site in Yuzhang that might be useful to you."
