From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1191

The green grass is lush and connected to the blue lake.

The breeze blows, the grass sways, the lake ripples, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance stand still, with a majestic posture and magnificent momentum, sacred and impossible to ignore.

The sky is like a washed mirror, just like the water, there is no impurity.

There are cattle and sheep in the distance, and a young girl rides on a yak and sings an inexplicable song.

The melody is simple and high-pitched, and the sound echoes between the snow-capped mountains for a long time.

Painting.

This place is like a painting, like the last paradise on earth.

Su Youzi even planned not to leave, living in seclusion here, accompanied by mountains and rivers, and cattle and sheep, enough to forget all worries.

She arrived at the lake, scooped up the water, clear and cold, and took a sip, which was really refreshing.

"Hey! Hey! Sister, be careful!"

The shepherd girl in the distance shouted, riding a cow and rushing over quickly, but did not get close.

She was wearing a thick cotton jacket and a hat that covered her head, revealing only half of her face.

This was a round-faced girl with a red face, but her eyes were dark and bright, showing her unique vitality.

Su Youzi couldn't help but ask, "What did you call me?"

The little girl said, "Sister, the lake here is very deep, don't stay on the shore."

Su Youzi knew it, but she still left the shore and said softly, "Thank you."

When she approached, the little girl was stunned.

Silly sitting on the back of the cow, murmuring, "Sister...you...you..."

Su Youzi asked in confusion, "What about me?"

The little girl said, "You...are you a goddess? So beautiful..."

Hearing this, even though Su Youzi was always indifferent, she couldn't help laughing.

This smile made the little girl blush even more, and she couldn't help jumping off the cow's back and kneeling down to kowtow to Su Youzi.

Su Youzi quickly helped her up and said with a smile: "What are you doing?"

The little girl said: "I am paying my respects to the goddess sister."

Su Youzi smiled and said: "How can that be true? What goddess or not, I am just an outsider."

"From outside?"

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Where is the outside? Is it the capital? It is said that there are buildings taller than snow mountains, more people than green grass, and more gold and silver than stones."

Su Youzi was very patient and told her about the culture of various places, which made the little girl very excited.

"It's a pity that I can't see those!"

The little girl felt a little regretful.

Su Youzi said: "Do you want to see those?"

"Of course! The world outside is so wonderful!"

The smile on the little girl's face was very innocent.

Su Youzi saw her talent and intelligence, thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "If you are willing to be my disciple, I will take you to travel thousands of mountains and rivers."

The little girl was obviously a little moved, but after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said: "No, thank you for your kindness, sister, but I am a believer favored by the Bodhisattva, and I want to become a saint."

Su Youzi also smiled bitterly, thinking that she was confused. This girl was obviously not a Taoist, so why bother to ruin her fate.

Being my disciple is certainly not as good as the so-called saint here.

She said softly: "In this case, I will not force it. I will give you a wisp of Taoism, which can temporarily eliminate diseases, which is also a good thing."

She waved her hand gently, leaving a wisp of Taoism, and then she left.

Blue sky, white clouds, green water and snow-capped mountains, this is really a good place.

Su Youzi came to the core area here with a happy heart.

Her brows gradually frowned.

The more she frowned, the tighter it became.

The scenery in the city was completely different from that in the wild.

Completely, completely, completely different.

She was surprised, stunned, and even shocked.

Her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she could hardly walk. Her heart seemed to be grasped by a big hand, and she could hardly breathe.

She saw groups of people tied with ropes, selling on the street. Some of them had no eyes, some had no hands, or no feet.

They knelt, crawled, and kowtowed to others.

A woman in a long robe was pulled away in the street. The buyer was dissatisfied and shook his head, and the woman screamed - her tongue was broken at the root.

Su Youzi couldn't bear to watch, so she closed her eyes, but she didn't dare not to watch, so she opened her eyes.

People came and went on the street, and no one cared about what was happening around them.

These things seemed to be just daily trivialities.

"Hey, benefactor, people are being sold over there..."

The man who was stopped by Su Youzi was stunned for a moment, then said: "If you want to buy, just go buy, why are you asking me... Hey? Madam, you are so beautiful..."

Su Youzi said: "People are being sold over there! Do you understand what I said!"

The man smiled and said: "Madam, do you want to buy slaves? I can recommend a good place for you. Those on the street are not good, either thin and disabled, or sick.Illness, can't work, can't warm the bed. "

Su Youzi shouted: "Did you hear clearly! This is human trafficking! This is a crime!"

Everyone around looked over, the man's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "You are sick! It has been like this for thousands of years, what's so strange about it!"

He couldn't stand the strange looks around him and fled in a hurry.

It has been like this for thousands of years...

This sentence stirred up a huge wave in Su Youzi's heart.

She was angry, rushed over directly, and cut all the ropes directly.

She shouted: "Run away! Don't be afraid, I'll stop them!"

But the next moment, she was stunned.

No one paid any attention to him, the slaves were still kneeling and crawling, as if she didn't exist.

"This girl, leave here quickly, otherwise there will be trouble. "

A middle-aged man dressed in Han Chinese clothes got off the carriage and said to Su Youzi.

Su Youzi said: "They... I clearly cut the ropes, why don't they run away?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Because the ropes are not tied to them."

Su Youzi didn't understand this sentence.

She got on the carriage directly and said in a deep voice: "Are you Han Chinese? Tell me, what is the situation here?"

The middle-aged man clasped his fists and said: "Excuse me."

He apologized first, then got on the carriage and sat opposite Su Youzi.

The man was obviously a cultured noble. He tidied his appearance and said: "My humble name is Yang Chongguan, from Qingyang, Shaanxi. May I ask what your name is? You are wearing a Taoist robe. Are you a Taoist disciple?"

"Yes, Su Youzi."

Su Youzi was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him, but frowned and said: "Donor Yang, how long have you been here? It has always been like this here? Why?"

"Poor. ”

Yang Chongguan said: "If you are poor, it will be like this."

"What?"

Su Youzi said: "I have seen poor places, but how can it be like this..."

Yang Chongguan said slowly: "If you are poor, there will definitely be polarization of wealth, which will lead to polarization of status. With limited resources, naturally some people will live worse than the resources themselves."

Su Youzi asked in confusion: "You mean..."

"Yes, you guessed right. Most slaves here are not as valuable as cattle and sheep."

The last few words shocked Su Youzi. She glared and said: "But other places..."

Yang Chongguan said: "No matter how poor other places are, they have the laws and regulations of the Celestial Empire and have been educated by the courts of past dynasties. This place does not have that, so it is backward."

He sighed and said: "This Taoist priest, although you are wearing a Taoist robe, you can still see that you are not from a poor family."

"In fact, what you have seen is only the tip of the iceberg. If you are interested, I can tell you everything I have seen and heard in the past ten years. "

Su Youzi looked at him and said slowly: "You speak, I listen."

...

The letter was delivered.

It turned out that Yang Chongguan was the commander of the Wusizang Xingdusi.

He opened Zhou Yuan's letter in front of him, and there was not a single word on the paper.

Yang Chongguan bowed in the direction of Shenjing and sighed: "The prince is a great man. He is affirming my political achievements and thinks that there is no need to tell me anything. "

Su Youzi didn't understand it that way.

She thought that Yuan Yizi deliberately wanted her to come here to take a look.

She saw it, she vomited three times, and her stomach was completely empty.

She escaped from here, and she would go crazy if she stayed.

But what made her collapse was that she figured it out after she walked out of the city.

That skin seemed to have been seen by her, and her Tao rhyme was flowing in it.

In just two days, the living girl finally became a saint and played the role of sacrifice.

Su Youzi rushed into the mountains and saw streams and lakes. She suddenly remembered what she had heard in Zhongnan Mountain.

"Now the Great Jin is full of wounds, the people are living in poverty, and countless people are suffering in the darkness. The master said that this is a reincarnation, and I, Guan Lu, don't agree!"

Su Youzi lowered her head, knelt on the ground, and retched again.

The memory became clearer as a result.

"What my lord and I have to do is to illuminate the world with the outline of the great way, drive away the darkness, and light up the light. "

"My lord and I are cultivating the righteous path of the human world!"

Su Youzi collapsed to the ground, shaking all over.

She understood what Yang Chongguan said. The ropes were not put on the slaves, but on their souls.

No matter how they were rescued, they could not be saved.

Only by illuminating the world with the principles of the great way can we truly awaken people's souls.

So we need peace, rise, reform, open the Imperial Academy, and create an unprecedented hegemony.

Let everyone have the opportunity to choose to be a human being, a person with dignity.

Su Youzi wiped away her tears.

She looked at the snow in front of her.Shan, another sentence rang out.

"Jin has been declining for long enough, and the people have suffered enough. It's time for good times to come."

"Disciple came to this world, determined to turn the tide and support the building...Disciple is reincarnation."

"As the saying goes, man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, the Tao follows nature...Disciple is also a part of nature."

"The appearance of disciples is not only the righteous way of the world, but also the natural way of heaven!"

The words trembled in the soul, becoming grand and magnificent, like the sound of ancient bells, lingering.

Su Youzi trembled suddenly, feeling that something in her body was broken.

She checked immediately and found that there was no injury, and the heart of Tao was there, without change.

What was broken?

Prejudice? Narrow-mindedness? Shackles? Stereotypes? Or the thousands of years of Taoist experience?

She didn't know, she just wanted to go to Gansu Town as soon as possible.

She wanted to see Yuan Yizi.

I don’t know what to say, what to say, and what to do after meeting him.

But she just wants to meet him, this is the most intuitive thought.
