Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Nine, Haotian is not beneficial 2

Cross the long steps, pass through the palace gate, climb up the steps again, bypass the small pavilion, pass through the promenade, and arrive at a hexagonal building, half of which is embedded in the cliff, and half of which is suspended outside , Clouds and mist drift outside the building, as if it is a fairy pavilion outside the sky.

Jiuyao stood in front of the building for a while, then summoned up the courage to open the door, looked up, and saw a man standing with his back in front of the window, looking at the clouds outside the building and the fields under the clouds.

Jiu Yao walked in through the door and called the man, "Brother."

Jiuyao's eldest brother, the current king of the Jiuluo clan---Jiu Miao, when he heard the voice behind him, he had made up his mind not to soften his heart, but he still couldn't help turning around. He is about twenty-seven or eight years old, and he is not described as handsome and elegant for a long time, nor is he handsome for a long time, but he is as straight as the blue sky and flowing clouds outside the window, light and elegant.

Looking at his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for five years, Jiu Miao couldn't help the heat in his eyes, but there was no emotion on his face, he just said coldly: "Second brother really let you up, but I have already expelled you from the clan, You leave quickly." His voice was deep and deep, like the Lunyin Buddhist language from the sky, carrying a kind of supreme dignity and majesty.

If it were Jiuyao five years ago, he would have been expelled after several times, and he would have left sadly. He has learned the tricks a long time ago, so although his brother's face is cold at this moment, the emotion in his eyes can't be hidden, so he took a reassurance in his heart and didn't take his cold words seriously. Besides, his elder brother is the **** of this mountain, his elder brother can know whoever enters this mountain, if not for his elder brother's acquiescence, he would not be able to climb the mountain at all, and he cannot stand here at this moment. Come to think of it, during these five years of exile, he missed his relatives in his hometown, and these relatives also missed him.

Therefore, Jiuyao lowered his head, "Brother, I walked for many days and my legs were about to break before I came back here. Are you going to drive me away?" His voice was low and soft Yes, with a tired look, messy clothes and sideburns, and the dust along the way, it is really pitiful.

Although Jiu Miao knew that with the ability of their Jiuluo royal family, his younger brother would definitely not need to walk back, but seeing his miserable and pitiful description at this moment, his heart softened by seven points, but he The king of the Luo tribe has a principle that cannot be ignored, "You have violated the ancestor's precepts and family rules, and you are no longer a member of Jiuluo, so you cannot be kept here."

Although Jiu Miao's words were harsh, his tone was not cold, and there was a look of expectation in his eyes, which Jiu Yao could tell at a glance. Elder brother is waiting for his promise, as long as he admits his mistake and makes a promise that he will never do it again, elder brother will forgive him and allow him to return to the hometown where he was born and raised.

He looked at his elder brother, and a thought flashed through his mind, so he said: "Brother, break the ancestral precepts of the Guanshansuo clan, and let us also integrate into the people at the foot of the mountain." , is also the reason for his expulsion from the clan.

Jiu Miao heard the words and looked at Jiuyao with a look of disappointment on his face, "This pure land will never be defiled by those ugly and selfish people down the mountain." No change, you should go down the mountain as soon as possible!"

Sure enough. Jiuyao thought to himself, but a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Brother, I haven't finished talking yet, why are you rushing me away?" He took a step forward, looked at his elder brother, and frowned to express his grievance. "I want to tell my elder brother, I will never say such a thing again, I will definitely abide by the clan rules and ancestral precepts in the future. Brother, I have been at the foot of the mountain all these years, and I miss my clansman day and night, miss you and my second brother , I just wish I could fly back with my wings. Brother, I promise I won’t do it again in the future, so don’t drive me away.”

Jiu Miao was stunned for a while, looking at the younger brother who sincerely admitted his mistake, and then slowly reacted. He misunderstood his younger brother, and his younger brother said that he would never say such things again. He has lived on the top of Jiuluo Mountain all his life, never stepped out of the mountain, never contacted the world, so his thoughts are pure and simple, at this moment he heard what his younger brother said, and he didn't think about anything else at all. What's more, he has been thinking about his younger brother all these years, worrying day and night, looking forward to it day and night, now that he is willing to admit his mistake, how can he disagree.

"As long as you don't promote those ideas that merge with the mountain, I will allow you to return to the clan."

"Brother." Jiuyao was excited when he heard his brother's words, took a step forward, hugged him, and said in a deep but joyful voice, "I won't say it again, let me go home. "

Jiu Miao was hugged by his younger brother, and couldn't help being stunned, because he hadn't seen him for five years, his younger brother had already grown a lot taller, and the body he was leaning on was also a lot heavier. Thinking of the thin young man who only reached his shoulders back then, and looking at the tall and handsome man now, his heart was hot and soft, and he couldn't help but stretch out his arms to hug his younger brother, "Okay. If you dare to do it again... I will... I will interrupt you legs!"

He said this, but his voice was hoarse, because he missed him so much and couldn't bear it too much. I didn't come back for five years. If it happened again, he would really rather break his brother's leg and leave him on the mountain than let him leave again. Even though he sent his brother out with harsh words back then, it was just to force him to admit his mistake, thinking that once he left the mountain, he would be scared back by the people at the bottom of the mountain, but in the end, this kid was hard-spoken and hard-hearted, and he really went down the mountain without looking back. After going there, his relatives and clansmen on the mountain were worried about him for five years.

"I can finally go home, I don't have to wander anymore, I am no longer a homeless person!" Being hugged by his brother, Jiuyao just felt as if he was in a warm and light soft wave, relaxing Soothe the mind, let go of the shackles and tightness of the whole body, so comfortable and peaceful.

Yes, this is the feeling of home, this is the strength of relatives.

In the past, at the foot of the mountain, no matter how gorgeous and tall the house he lived in, no matter how many companions he had around him, his heart was always empty, he felt as if his body was floating in mid-air, and he never felt at ease with his feet. .

Now he is finally home!

The two brothers hugged quietly for a while, but Jiu Miao came back to his senses first, let go of his younger brother, and stared at his face carefully. It was the same face, but it looked different again, more resolute, more handsome, more responsible, a man now. "You cruel guy, you've been away for five years, look back and see how Jiujiu punished you!"

Jiuyao couldn't help shrinking his neck when he heard the words. He naturally knew the horror of that childhood sweetheart, but he could escape for a while. I'm so hungry, cook for me."

Jiu Miao looked at the clepsydra, "It's not time for dinner yet, did you not eat on the way?"

"Yeah." Jiuyao nodded, automatically skipped the lunch shared with Jin Hu, and looked at his brother pitifully, "Brother, I haven't eaten the meal you cooked for a long time, I miss it so much. "

"Alas." Looking at his younger brother's attitude that was no different from the past, the dignified King Kyura sighed, "Okay, I'll do it."

Jiuyao suddenly smiled, "I'll be a helper for big brother."

The two brothers came out of the Hexagonal Building, and they could still hear Jiuyao's nagging, "The eldest brother treats me well! The second brother is so ruthless, he drives me away as soon as he sees me. Hmph, I'll look for Jiu Jiu later." Sue!" He seemed to have completely forgotten that the eldest brother in front of him had also chased him, and that his second brother followed the order of the eldest brother to chase him away.

On that day, His Royal Highness Jiu Luosan had a delicious meal made by his long-lost brother.

******

After a full meal, the two brothers went back to the hexagonal building and drank tea to digest food together.

After drinking a cup of tea, Jiuyao said in a very leisurely tone: "Brother, I heard at the foot of the mountain that all the officials and five hundred officers and soldiers of Jiecheng Mansion died in Jiuluo Mountain." He blinked his eyes , seems to be a little confused, "Did someone from the mountain break in?"

Jiu Miao nodded. Those people at the bottom of the mountain are like mice. When the mice break into the house, they must be wiped out.

Jiuyao looked at his brother's expression, considered for a while, and then looked at his brother with a sincere face, "Brother, I promise I won't say those words anymore, I really won't say them. But now I have a few words to say Said, please don’t get angry, brother.”

Jiu Miao was a little surprised to see his younger brother being so serious, "What do you want to say, third brother?"

"Brother, I have been at the foot of the mountain all these years, and I have been in contact with them day and night, so I am familiar with them and understand them." Jiu Yao looked at Shi Chang with clear and peaceful eyes, "Brother took more than five hundred lives this time, It is bound to cause an uproar among the people at the foot of the mountain, and this move will do me a lot of harm and no benefit."

Jiu Miao heard this, frowned, and said: "What's the matter? The ancestors taught that 'people at the foot of the mountain bully the good and fear the evil, greedy for life and afraid of death, and anyone who enters the mountain will be killed as a warning'. For more than a hundred years, Our clan uses this method to deter trespassers, so as to ensure the long-term peace of our clan.”

Hearing this, Jiuyao didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment, so he could only sigh helplessly. Although his elder brother is older than him, these years of experience have allowed him to see all the world and the world, so above all the world, he is actually older than his elder brother. The elder brother took those people's lives not because of evil nature, not because of killing, but because he followed the ancestral motto of "kill anyone who enters the mountain", thinking that as long as the people down the mountain are frightened, the mountain can be restored to cleanliness and tranquility.

This is an extremely pure and simple way of thinking, but it is extremely dangerous when used to deal with the complex and ever-changing people at the bottom of the mountain.

Because "bullying the good and fearing the evil" is only suitable for ordinary people.

"Brother, this ancestral precept is only applicable in the past. In the past, it was a troubled time, and the people at the foot of the mountain were only concerned with fighting for the world, and no one would pay attention to the small Jiuluo Mountain, let alone whether there were dead people in this mountain. Now that the mountain is unified, it is no small matter for you to take the lives of five hundred soldiers at a time. If the emperor of Dadong is alarmed, he will definitely send people to investigate. If he knows about our family, how can he tolerate us then? Occupying this Jiuluo Mountain, how can we allow us to establish our own country and call ourselves king under his nose." Jiuyao said earnestly.

If someone else listened to his words, he would know the seriousness of the situation, and would definitely be moved and intimidated. But at this moment, what he is facing is Jiu Miao, a person who has never been involved in the world since he was born. He is not interested in anything other than Jiuluo Mountain, and his attitude towards the people under the mountain comes from the teachings of his ancestors. So when he got tired of the people from the mountain repeatedly committing crimes, he would hand down the sackcloth and vermilion book of admonition, and no one had entered the mountain in the past few months. In his opinion, his punishment and warning had worked, so it has been a long time. His words are not even alarmist.

"The affairs of the people below the mountain have nothing to do with us. Mount Jiuluo is the pure land where our people live, and the people below the mountain will not be allowed to defile it." Jiu Miao's expression and voice naturally carry the contempt for the people below the mountain. indifferent.

Jiu Yao listened, and smiled wryly.

Their family lives in seclusion on the top of this mountain, isolated from the world, their people are simple in nature, friendly to each other, and never have any entanglements and wars, so they absolutely don't know what the heart of an emperor is, and they don't know what tricks are, and they don't know what a king is. Ba Ye, they just take it for granted that if they live on this mountain and don't compete with the world, the world should also live at the bottom of the mountain and not bother them. Moreover, the clansmen have been trained by their ancestors for generations, believing that the people at the bottom of the mountain are selfish, greedy and aggressive, and they are full of fear and disgust for the people at the bottom of the mountain, so they cut off all contact with the people at the bottom of the mountain, and only guard this piece of pure land to live and work in peace. In the past five years, he has also seen a lot of the inferiority of the people at the bottom of the mountain, and he knows that there is nothing wrong with the people's thoughts and actions.

But... the world is impermanent, and the current situation is different from the past.

Based on his years of experience, he has a lot of truths. If he was a person down the mountain, he would have understood it long ago. Useless. His people are absolutely unwilling to communicate with the people down the mountain. His elder brother believes that his own power can protect the people and protect this pure land from being violated.

After being silent for a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​persuading his brother, because it is impossible for a hundred years of ideas to change overnight. So he looked at his elder brother with a sincere expression on his face, "Brother, I am from Jiuluo, and I am your brother. No matter what I say or do, I will always think about my tribe and will never harm our tribe. You believe me Is it?"

Although it was strange why the third brother asked such a question, Jiu Miao still nodded, of course he would not doubt this.

Jiuyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, I beg you for one thing."

Jiu Miao was slightly stunned, and said: "Third Brother, just say what you want to say, why do you say 'begging', the elder brother will help you if he can."

"I only hope that this time, even if the Jiecheng Mansion reports to the imperial capital, the emperor of Dadong will just treat it as a small bandit problem and send a general to deal with it. Therefore, from now on, no matter who enters the mountain, No matter how many people there are, I beg my elder brother not to take their lives. Anyway, Jiuluo Mountain is so big, and with elder brother here, they will never find it here, and when they can’t find the culprits, they will naturally leave.” At that time Unbeknownst to Jiuyao, the impeachment of the courtiers in the imperial capital attracted a person he had never expected——Feng Ying, General Feng Duying.

Jiu Miao was taken aback when he heard the words, "Why is the third brother so concerned about the life and death of the people at the bottom of the mountain?"

"Because I don't want the life and death of the people at the bottom of the mountain to bring disaster to the Jiuluo people." Jiuyao looked at his brother and said word by word, very cautiously, "Brother, I beg you to answer me once, I only want our The tribe is safe."

Jiu Miao pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. In his opinion, no one would dare to enter the mountain in the near future, and how could he bear to refuse his brother's earnest request.

With his brother's promise, Jiuyao's high-spirited heart has been half relieved since he heard about the Jiecheng Mansion.

He thought, after the matter of Jiecheng Mansion faded away, he would go to the imperial capital to find Feng Duying and tell the situation of the family. He knew that Feng Duying was not someone who was good at devouring and killing people. After listening to his grievances, she would be able to understand and forgive their clan's actions. And with her threading the needle, it will be a breeze to convince the emperor and the other seven generals. He is very clear about the importance of Feng Duying in the hearts of the seven of them, and he also knows the pivotal position of General Fengying in the Great Eastern Dynasty.

Thinking of Feng Duying, and the woman by the sea who always put on a helpless expression towards him, a sweet and sour feeling surged in his heart.

When the Emperor Dadong no longer pursued the affairs of the Jiuluo clan, he brought her to Mount Jiuluo and asked her to have a look at the residence of their clan. It will be her resting place. His elder brother and clansmen will also like her, that girl who looks cold and arrogant but is actually kind and considerate.

Thinking about it, Jiuyao looked out of the window, with a confident smile on his lips.

From that day on, His Royal Highness Jiu Luosan, who had been homeless for five years, could be regarded as returning home.

Being away from home for too long, so everything feels new when I come back, I just go from one house to another in the clan every day. Seeing the return of His Highness the Third Highness who had not seen him for many years, the people in the clan warmly entertained him and asked him how he was doing at the foot of the mountain all these years. So Jiuyao took out the strange people and strange things he encountered in the mountains, rivers and rivers he had traveled through these years. No one in the clan had seen it before, so he naturally found it very novel and interesting. He is also happy to tell stories.

However, he did never talk about "communicating with the people down the mountain". He knew that no one in the clan would listen to those words. He only told "stories". He thinks these stories will let the clansmen understand the people from the mountain. One day is not enough for one month, one month is not enough for one year, one year is not enough for two years, three years... One day, the clansmen will agree with the people of the mountain and are willing to associate with the people of the mountain. Fusion.

In his plan, everything is so proper and beautiful.
