Kyoto Chapter 6: Fame (Part II)
Just when the entire Middle Earth was boiling because of Su Mo's official promotion, Su Mo was already sitting in the carriage to the Xuanquan Academy.
He played around with the nameplate of the roadbus, with which he could have some power to act cheaply. For example, he can have the power to kill the arrested criminals first, and he can also use the name of investigation to get close to some people who are difficult to approach on weekdays. It's just that this may leave a handle for those who care. So when exercising these powers, you need to think twice.
It's just that this trip to the Xuanquan Academy Palace, maybe he will have to use such power once.
He gently lifted the corner of the curtain on the car's upper window and looked at the already dim sky. The starry night, coupled with a few flashes of fireflies from time to time, is different from the star map of the previous days, interpreting the real night as cool as water.
From far to near, his eyes fell on the shadow of the tree outside the window, where a cyan shadow flashed from time to time. Su Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and then he reached out and brushed down the window curtain.
The carriage went forward for a while, and Su Mo didn't look at the night outside the window, just quietly closed his eyes and recuperated. At a certain moment, he felt that the bumpy feeling of the carriage rolling over the green mud was gone, and he unconsciously opened his eyes and asked the coachman, "The Xuanquan Academy has arrived?"
The coachman replied with some humility from the front: "If you go back to Su Shouyu, there is a carriage blocking the road ahead, and there are many people in black robes next to the carriage. Those people said they wanted to see Su Shouyu. ”
Su Mo asked lightly, "Can you see who they are?"
The coachman replied: "There is a pattern of stars and moon on the black robe, I am afraid that it is someone from Si Tianjian." ”
Su Mo bowed his head and said, "I know, you stay in the car." I'll go down and take a look. ”
The coachman knew that he couldn't help, so he could only say, "Su Shouyu is careful." ”
Su Mo got out of the carriage, first glanced at a certain place on the side of the road, and then walked to the carriage that was blocking the road.
The black-robed people who were surrounding the carriage saw Su Mo walking forward, although he was not yet wearing an official uniform, they all stepped forward and said, "I have seen Su Shouyu." ”
Su Mo threw his sleeves and returned the salute, and then asked, "What do you want to stop me here?"
One of the black-robed star divisions stepped forward and said, "Su Shouyu, forgive me, there is indeed an important person who wants to find Su Shouyu." Please also move to the carriage for a while. ”
Su Mo looked at the carriage, there was no decoration on the exterior of the carriage, and even the streets of Yuzhou could be seen everywhere.
But the carriage was unusually large.
An ordinary carriage may seem crowded to accommodate two people, but looking at the appearance of this carriage, Su Mo estimated that more than a dozen people sat on it, and the interior still seemed empty.
He only hesitated for a moment, and the black-clothed star division knelt down directly on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask Su Shouyu to move to the car for a while." ”
He knelt down as if he had given a signal. The black-clothed people around him knelt down on one knee and shouted, "Please Su Shouyu move to the car!"
Su Mo didn't speak, just stared at the black-clothed Xingsi expressionlessly.
The black-clothed Xingji raised his head and looked at Su Mo, and he pleaded, "Please also ask Su Shouyu not to make me wait for embarrassment." ”
In the cool night, a cool evening breeze blew, gently lifting his hood, revealing a young face painted with star patterns.
Su Mo glanced deeply at those patterns, and then walked to the carriage without looking back.
The door of the carriage had already opened, as if he had already known that Su Mo would come early.
Su Mo stopped and thought for a while, but still stepped into the carriage.
As soon as he got into the car, Su Mo realized that he had guessed wrong.
The interior of the car is obviously much more luxurious than it looks from the outside. Not to mention that the full carriage is paved with gold bricks and warm jade, and the plain decoration on the outside is estimated to be only used to cover up the extravagance inside; the furnishings inside are very simple, only a table, a lyre, and a young man who looks like a girl is looking at Su Mo with a smile.
The young man was dressed in a robe full of ancient Zhou style. The gown is divided into left and right parts. On the left, a half-wheel portrait of tomorrow hangs, with orange-red lines flowing on it, and a sense of warmth inexplicably emerges from the heart of hope.
It's just that if you look at it any further, the warmth will gradually evolve into a burning feeling. Cultivators who have a slightly less concentrated strength will probably look away quickly.
On the right hangs a crescent moon, surrounded by stars, which is different from the warmth on the left, not as cold, but more cold. The moire above makes this scene quite "light moon and bright, good dreams are frightening".
Su Mo almost immediately recognized that this was a magic weapon. And it is also a magic weapon of not low grade.
Judging by this person's face, he is by no means old. A person who can have such a magic weapon at such an age can only find two in this Middle Earth.
One of them has already left the East China Sea, so the identity of this person in front of him is very clear.
Su Mo brushed his sleeves and saluted: "I've seen Shao Si's life." ”
The young man's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but it was quickly covered up, he folded the fan, and replied: "Su Shouyu, I have been friends for a long time. ”
Su Mo looked at him and said, "I have long heard that Shao Si Ming is a master of the Xuanfa, and when we meet today, I am really young and promising." ”
The young man shook his head and said with a smile: "Su Shouyu has tormented me, if you talk about being young and promising, now everyone in the entire Middle Earth who hears the name of Su Shouyu will probably think that Su Shouyu is the one who really bears this evaluation." ”
Su Mo didn't respond to the young man's words, on the contrary, his eyes looked at the young man a little cold. The conversation between the two just now seemed to be simply touting each other, but there was no hint of wit.
Su Mo said that he was young and promising, but in fact, there was more or less irony in it. The man stopped his carriage at first, then made his men sacrifice for mercy, and then deliberately opened the door to make himself think that he expected him to come.
But in the eyes of Su Mo, who has experience in his previous life, this is just some small tricks. In the current world, which seems to be ancient, in the eyes of outsiders, this person may really be like an immortal. But in Su Mo's opinion, this person has too many tricks and too many distracting thoughts, maybe now with the help of Si Tianjian, he can practice very quickly, but Su Mo thinks that his cultivation will definitely not go far.
It's just that he didn't expect this person to say such heart-wrenching words to trick him. If he agrees to admit that he is young and promising, I am afraid that he will be left behind by this person, and if he does not admit it, he will lose to this person in momentum.
Su Mo's mind moved slightly, and he immediately thought of a solution.
He shook his head and said: "Shao Si's order is wrong, he is only the second first-class martial artist in this tripartite meeting, if you talk about the real young and promising, I am afraid that the first-class first-class will be the first." ”
First Class 1st ...... When the young man thought of this person, the smile on his face froze, and then he pretended to change the topic easily: "Su Shouyu, according to Yu Zhizhi, it is better for the two of us to call each other by name and surname in private, after all, there is still a lot of time to meet in Kyoto in the future, so there is no need to be so different?"
Su Mo nodded and said, "Mo Zheng has this intention, and the young master will call Mo Zi'an." ”
The young man stretched out his folding fan and said with a smile: "There is no name and surname below, only a road number." Named Xuanye. Then you can call it Xuanzhi below. ”
The two chatted politely for a long time, from astronomy and geography to humanities and museums, history and customs. The young man was obviously more familiar with the secrets and past of this Middle Earth, so most of the time it was the young man who spoke and Su Mo listened.
Xuan Ran was not without purpose, during the conversation, he asked Su Mo several times about the [Taiyan Heart Sutra], but Su Mo skipped it several times, but he was all skipped by Su Mo. He didn't care either, and still enthusiastically told Su Mo the story of this Middle Earth.
Su Mo was keenly aware that although Xuan Ran knew the story of Middle-earth very well, he was a little secretive about the East China Sea and the great wilderness on the other side of the East China Sea.
After a long time, Xuan Ran finally asked, "Zi'an, what are your plans to go to Kyoto this time?"
Su Mo replied ambiguously: "I'm afraid I have to be more improvised." ”
Xuan Ran smiled and said, "Zi'an, if you just think of Kyoto and then improvise, I'm afraid it's a little late." Today's Kyoto can be said to be an undercurrent, if you are not careful, even if you are from the three products of the guard, I am afraid there will be a risk of falling. ”
Su Mo's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
Xuan Ran waved his hand and reached out to press a gold brick somewhere beside him. Instantly, the candles in the carriage were extinguished, leaving only an orange light.
Xuan Ran raised his hand and signaled: "Zi'an will sit down first, and let me come down to sort out the current situation for you."
Today's Kyoto, because the Holy Emperor is about to inherit it, so the whole of Kyoto can be said to have become a place for the eldest prince Moke and the second prince Mok. ”
He seemed to have thought of something, and told Su Mo half-warningly: "Now the officials who come to Kyoto, no one can be left alone. Even the two generals who were ranked as one of the ranks, they chose to support His Highness Mok. ”
Su Mo asked: "You say this, I'm afraid that your Si Tianjian is supporting His Royal Highness Mo Wei, right?"
A touch of helplessness appeared in Xuan Ran's eyes: "Yes, Moke's hatred of the Dao Law can be described as deep, and he once proudly said that if he inherits the Holy Emperor, he will truly abolish the Dao Law of the world."
However, His Royal Highness Motian has a deep interest in Taoism. If he inherits the throne of the Holy Emperor, I am afraid that the situation of our Heavenly Eunuch will be much better.
Zi'an, now you are about to take up the post of guardian. Once you have successfully advanced to the Shosanpin, you will be the first official to participate in the internal affairs of Kyoto in the form of an old cultivator. With your origins, I'd love to see you help us, and we'll have a much better chance of winning. ”
Xuan Ran invited sincerely, but Su Mo didn't seem as excited as he expected, but asked a little calmly: "Xuan Ran, help you, what's the benefit to me?"
