I just want to live well but I surpass the protagonist.

There was no spiritual energy fluctuation in the old man's body, just like a mortal. His skin looks quite young, his eyes are full of energy, and he can be called a childlike face.

Ye Yong was quite surprised. He didn't expect this old turtle to actually show up. After all, he just wanted to give it a try.

Although Zhou Yunqi has never met the 'ancestor of the Zhou family', she is not stupid. After all, with her status, even the ministers have to call her Princess, but the old man did not, and did not even look at her. . She was very excited, but the ancestor did not express her position. She thought it would be better to pretend not to know.

"Dare you ask the old man?" Sometimes it is necessary to ask knowingly, and it can be used as a prelude. As an outsider, Ye Yong should pretend not to understand.

"They are just guards of the forbidden area." The old man looked at Ye Yong: "I am very curious, how could this little friend think of writing such a four-character poem? There are neither magical turtles, nor snakes, nor even horses... ....”

You don't have a horse.

Ye Yong silently complained in his heart, and then replied with a serious face: "Old man, don't focus on the front, but on the back."

Ye Yong looked at the guards in the forbidden area. They were old and young: "If my guess is correct, I will be chosen to be the guard here. If nothing happens, I will stay there until retirement. As a monk of the imperial dynasty, they should Some people desire to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and win glory for the country. This desire will not decrease with age, but will become stronger.”

The old man nodded. He had been here for thousands of years and had indeed seen many aspiring monks make requests to the emperor in their middle and later years, begging the emperor to give them the opportunity to go to the front lines of the battlefield. Not everyone likes to be comfortable. Some people have great ambitions and want to realize them, even if they die in battle, rather than live a mediocre life.

"Even if we monks have the lifespan of a magical turtle, and can fly through the clouds and mists like soaring snakes, we will eventually be unable to escape decline... This poem is just a poem that the younger generation suddenly felt when they saw the guard. I wonder if the old man feels that There is something wrong." Ye Yongyong could not admit that because the old man was actually a turtle, he deliberately chose poems with turtles in them to attract his attention.

"No problem, this poem is excellent." The old man had just wondered whether Ye Yong knew his true identity. Although it is no big deal for his true identity to be known, if he is discovered by an outsider he has never met before, he will definitely be confused as to how he was exposed.

Now that he knew it was a false alarm, the old man no longer wondered whether the turtle in the poem meant anything. He looked at Ye Yong up and down: "It's really strange. Although the old man is just a little Nascent Soul, he can't see through this young man like you." "

"Because this junior has unintentionally learned a profound Qigong technique. Hiding his skills can prevent enemies he encounters from daring to act rashly."

"As a young man, you are not as flamboyant as others. You are eager to show off your cultivation all day long and let others know how talented you are." The old man touched his white beard: "I wonder what my little friend's name is?"

"This junior's surname is Ye, with the single character Yong."

"Ye Yong..." the old man thought for a moment: "I seem to have heard of this name."

"Maybe they have the same name."

"You are too humble. Go back to the old man's home. He has done a lot of big things recently. You must have heard other guards mention him." Zhou Yunqi had remained silent before because she was observing the ancestor's temperament, and the ancestor was following She couldn't get in the middle of Ye Yong's conversation, and now she finally had a chance.

"That being said, it does make an impression."

"It's just a false name." Ye Yong smiled and bowed to the old man: "I wonder what you call the old man?"

"If you don't mind, just call me Gui Lao."

"Okay, Mr. Gui." Ye Yong and Zhou Yunqi both lowered their heads to show respect.

In fact, Ye Yong knew Lao Gui's full name, which was Gui Lingao.

As a spiritual turtle in its original form, such a name is obviously a bit inappropriate, but there is no way. It had not transformed into a human being thousands of years ago, and its cultivation level was also very low. It was just an ornamental spiritual pet used by the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty at that time. The emperor I like to eat turtle jelly, so I gave it a homophonic name. After the death of the emperor, the new emperor did not dare to treat the turtle pet left behind by his father poorly, especially the new emperor. Anyway, he had sent away many generations of emperors, and his seniority became older and older.

After awakening, the little bit of Xuanwu blood he possesses also makes him more talented than ordinary turtles. Thousands of years ago, he broke through to the cave and was favored by the entire Zhou Dynasty. However, because there is too little Xuanwu bloodline, reaching the early stage of Dongxu is already considered the limit, so in the past thousand years, he has not gone any further. However, here in the Eastern Continent, Dongxu's cultivation is enough to support a dynasty without being despised.

"I wonder what Mr. Gui thinks of the current situation of the dynasty and the current emperor?" Zhou Yunqi asked respectfully.

If an outsider asked such a question, she would definitely be regarded as a sign of rebellion, but since she is Zhou Suren's daughter and a princess of the imperial dynasty, she cannot be misunderstood. As for why Zhou Yunqi asked these questions, it was because even if it were her father, she would not be able to meet her ancestor just because she wanted to.

The ancestor's thoughts on the current situation of the dynasty and the current emperor are very important. After she gets the answer, she can tell it to Zhou Suren, so that Zhou Suren can pay attention to and change the things that the ancestor is dissatisfied with.

"What do you think?" Gui Lao clasped his hands behind his back and looked into the distance: "I don't have any opinion, it's pretty good."

Unless the contemporary emperor makes a decision that will damage the foundation of the dynasty, he will not intervene.

"I understand." Zhou Yunqi didn't dare to ask any more questions for fear of upsetting her ancestor.

"We've almost finished shopping here. Why don't Sister Yunqi take me to see other places? How about the East Palace? I'm a little curious about where the princes and highnesses live." As this is the first time we meet today, Ye Yong It was impossible to let Mr. Gui take him into the treasure house to get the ancient token right away. It's already a good result if you can meet him once and become familiar with him. The chance of seeing him again next time you come over is also higher. Stop it and force an awkward conversation to only ruin the good impression of the meeting.

"Okay." Zhou Yunqi was also worried about disturbing the ancestor.

Soon the two of them said goodbye to Mr. Gui.

Mr. Gui stood there and stared at Ye Yongqun's back: "It's rare to see such a young man who knows how to measure things, and he also has great talent. Even though the turtle has a long life, does it still have its time? If you can't break through, you will become an old man. It’s almost time.”

Then I thought of the following poem, and my worried eyebrows relaxed slightly: "The period of growth and shrinkage is not only in heaven. The blessing of nourishing happiness can lead to eternal life. The deadline is approaching, and there is no point in worrying. It is better to relax and maybe be able to Live a few more days.”

A gust of wind blew by, and no one could be seen. Even the guards didn't know that such an old man appeared and talked with Ye Yong and the others.

The forbidden area in the Southern District was solemn and quiet as usual.
