Chapter 71: The Time Has Not Come
The afterglow of the sunset, sprinkled on the palace wall, Emperor Chengzong stood on the Yuyu Tower, looking into the distance, seemingly arrogant back, but it seemed a little lonely, the right stroked on the stone pillar, Emperor Chengzong frowned, he sat on the world, the harem beauties are innumerable, but only can not let go of the woman who has been with him for less than a month, the state affairs are heavy, but he has always been concerned about her.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news, good news!" Lu Yifa shouted as he ran.
Emperor Chengzong turned his head and glared at Lu Yifa, and said, "Now you are shouting, what kind of system is it!"
Lu Yifa smiled, the wrinkles on his face condensed, handed the secret letter in his hand to Chengzong, and said, "Your Majesty, there is news of Concubine Lingniang!"
"What!" Chengzong was shocked, hurriedly took the secret letter, and after opening it, it was Wang Yueyue, the governor of Huzhou, who played it, saying that he had found the news of Lingxi, and originally wanted to welcome Lingfei Niangniang back to the palace, but unexpectedly, Lingfei Niangniang was kidnapped and left.
Chengzong frowned, looking at the secret letter in his hand, according to what Wang Yueyue said, the person who hijacked the spirit rhino is the demon clan! This is very bad, in fact, Chengzong has already received a secret report, saying that it is the demon clan in the world, but the demon clan did not attack in a big way, although he secretly Chen Bing boundary, but he also did not make a move, after all, the national strength is now weak, if there is a war with the demon clan, then there will be a disaster to destroy the country, and it is best to be safe.
"Let's go, go to the Heavenly Spirit Palace. Cheng Zong clutched the secret letter in his hand tightly and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, oh. Lu Yifa wondered in his heart, this Tianling Palace is the place where the emperor lives, Emperor Chengzong has always been indifferent to the affairs of gods and ghosts, why did he suddenly go to the Tianling Palace today? Although Lu Yifa had doubts, he still followed the emperor and rushed to the Tianling Palace.
Tianling Palace, located in the northwest corner of the palace, where the aura gathers, there is a high mountain towering, Mingxuan Mountain, the smoke around the mountain is shrouded, mysterious and ethereal, it is a forbidden place in the palace, except for the emperor, no one is allowed to set foot on it, and there is a strong enchantment outside the Tianling Palace, so that many people do not even know the storage zĂ i here, and the Tianling Palace is located on the top of the Xuan Mountain.
Legend has it that there are immortals living in this Heavenly Spirit Palace, with vast magical powers, omniscient and amazing abilities.
Emperor Chengzong and Lu Yifa both rode horses to the foot of Xuanshan Mountain.
Emperor Chengzong took out a token from his waist, and then threw it into the sky, only to see the token turn violently, emitting a dazzling light, and then a huge plaque appeared at the foot of the mountain with the word "Xuanshan" written on it, and a bluestone step appeared below it, hidden in the clouds and mist, and could go straight to the top of the mountain.
"Let's go!" Seeing this, Chengzong beckoned Lu Yifa to walk on the bluestone road together and head towards the top of the mountain.
The mountain road is steep and dangerous, there is green moss on it, it seems that no one has walked for a long time, Chengzong hemmed the dragon robe, tied it to his waist, took a big stride with his feet, and walked up, Lu Yifa saw this, and hurriedly followed, for fear that the emperor would be unstable and slide down.
At this time, it was already dusk, but there was another scene in the Xuan Mountain, the air was fresh, the sun was faint, the trees beside the bluestone road were lined up, and from time to time you could hear the insects and birds chirping, Lu Yifa was even faintly in the dense forest, and saw the birds and beasts of prey, which frightened him to be unstable.
Approaching the mountainside, the dense fog is more provincial, the temperature becomes colder, Emperor Chengzong walked sweating profusely, but he was not afraid of catching a cold, and he didn't care about wiping off the sweat droplets, and only wanted to reach the top of the mountain quickly.
Lu Yifa is a handful of age, and he has a sore back after climbing for so long, but he knows that Emperor Chengzong came to Tianling Palace today, and it must be related to Concubine Lingniang, although his body is a little unbearable, he has to grit his teeth and insist.
About half an hour later, the two finally arrived at the top of the mountain, only to see a Taoist palace standing proudly on the top of the mountain, two golden dragon pillars in front of the palace gate, the title plaque, the three words of Tianling Palace written on it, the momentum is magnificent.
In front of the palace gate, a Tong Zheng looked at the two with a smile, as if he had come to greet them.
"The master knows that you are coming, so he sent me to meet you. Dao Tong saluted slightly at Chengzong and said.
Emperor Chengzong nodded, and then followed Dao Tong to the Tianling Palace, and ordered Lu Yifa to wait here.
"Yes. Lu Yifa was already tired and sore all over, wishing he was lying on the stone steps at this moment.
Chengzong followed Dao Tong all the way, walked into the Tianling Palace, and under the guidance of Dao Tong, came to the front of a large hall. ă
"Master, he's coming. Dao Tong bowed and shouted into the hall.
"Let him in!" the door of the main hall creaked open, and Cheng Zong stepped over the high threshold and walked straight inside.
As soon as I entered the door, I was hit by a strong light on my body, and then the light dissipated, but I found that this was not a large hall, but more like a landscape painting with pleasant scenery.
The green mountains are surrounded by green water, and the wind embraces the blue sky, and an old man sits cross-legged by the lake, his eyes closed and says, "Here we are." â
Emperor Chengzong nodded, walked over to the old man and sat cross-legged on the futon, and said, "Come this time, please immortal master." â
Before he finished speaking, the old man raised his hand to interrupt Chengzong's words and said, "Needless to say, I know what you mean, but I have a question I want to ask you." â
Chengzong frowned, he didn't say anything before the other party had guessed what he was thinking, as an emperor, this made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart, which was why he rarely came to Tianling Palace, so he arched his hand and said: "Immortal Master, please ask." â
"You've figured it out. The old man reached out and threw a stone into the lake in front of him, causing ripples.
Chengzong naturally knew what the old man said, if he started a war with the demon clan this time, it would definitely be protracted, and it would inevitably be ruined and blood would flow like a river, but could it be that if he cowered, would this demon clan retreat? Since the demon clan has already appeared in the world, it must be ready, so sooner or later there will be such a day, instead of sitting back and waiting for death as before, but if you take the initiative to attack, you may be able to take the initiative a little.
"No, no, no. The old man said three words in a row, and said: "Although the demon clan has appeared, this time is not the best time to start a war, I can help you bring back the person you want to save this time, but I will not help you destroy the demon clan." â
Chengzong frowned, although it was his original intention to save the spirit rhino, but this move was tantamount to angering the demons, which was equivalent to declaring war, the old man only promised to save people, but he didn't want to make a move, how should it end when the time comes?
"The time has not come. After finishing speaking, the old man disappeared in place, and Chengzong only felt that it was dark in front of him, but he appeared outside the main hall.
Dao Tong looked at Cheng Zong, who suddenly appeared, and said with a slight smile: "Emperor Cheng, the master ordered me to go down the mountain with you and rescue the person you want to save, which can be regarded as fulfilling your request." â
Cheng Zong looked at the Dao Tong in front of him, who was only as tall as his waist, and frowned, can he save the spirit rhino from the demon clan with just a small child? But since it was the old man's arrangement, there should be no problem
