Chapter 62: First Sight (Addition)
Call Gen Zhenzi a bull's nose?
Of course, many people call it that, but given that the emperor sometimes calls Xuan Zhenzi a master, this kind of disrespectful title is only said in private.
This person actually stood in Xuan Zhenzi's Taoist temple and shouted loudly.
Who is this?
Shao Mingqing looked up through the crack in the window, and a group of richly dressed young men poured in from the courtyard, and the ground with leather boots on their feet made a loud noise.
The panes of the main hall are densely packed, dividing the human gaze into lines.
It was in this thin and narrow line that Shao Mingqing saw the group of young men spread out like a tide, and a man in a silver-white robe and a bright red cloak stepped in.
It was a young man, very tall, very thin, but tall as a pine.
Shao Mingqing squinted his eyes and moved his steps, wanting to see the face of the person who happened to be blocked by the window lattice.
"Lord Shizi, the Queen Mother sent someone to find you." Someone shouted.
Shao Mingqing moved to the crack in the window and saw the young man turn around, and the bright red cloak flew up in his sight.
"Which guy is going to sue me again?" Said in a clear voice.
The words should be complaining, but there is no meaning of complaining in his voice, and he is relaxed without care.
With this voice, the crowd retreated like a tide, the footsteps and laughter soon faded away, and the courtyard returned to peace.
The little boy who was squatting behind the door let out a long breath.
"Supreme Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun." He stood up with a sentence, looked at the porcelain vase and muttered, "This little ancestor can be regarded as gone, you are lucky to save your life." ”
"Little Daoye, who is this person?" Xie Wenxing asked.
"This person is the prince of Zhenbei." Xiao Daotong said.
King of Zhenbei?
Zhou Ning, the uncle of the current saint. At the beginning, the gold thieves went south to endanger Kyoto, Zhou Ning fought hard for the emperor in person, fought hard for five years, and his only son died before the battle, and finally let the Jin people know the difficulties and retreat to make a covenant, and Zhou Ning swore to defend the north border and was named the king of the north of the town.
It's been eighteen years.
"Oh. That is the widow of the prince of Zhenbei who died in battle? Xie Wenxing said suddenly.
The prince of Zhenbei died before the battle. The emperor was grateful for his loyalty, posthumously named the king, and his posthumous son was named the son. Inherit the king of Zhenbei.
Xie Wenxing still remembers that when he was young, he bet with someone whether this posthumous belly was a son or a daughter.
It's been eighteen years, and the posthumous son has grown so big.
"yes, yes." Xiao Daotong opened the door, "Isn't it this lawless little ancestor, don't dare to provoke ......?"
What else did Xie Wenxing want to ask? Xiao Daotong ran away with the porcelain vase.
"Hey, who will inform the Daoist Master Xuan Zhenzi." Xie Wenxing hurriedly shouted.
Xiao Daotong ran away as if he didn't hear it.
Shao Mingqing raised his feet and stepped forward.
"Daoist Gen Zhenzi often retreats in the backyard. Let's go there and see. He said.
The inquiry is quite clear.
Xie Wenxing raised his feet and stepped forward.
"Oh yes, sir." Shao Mingqing stepped forward again and whispered, "These little Taoist boys have a big appetite, and you will give you more tea money later." ”
Why do you want me to give money! Didn't you come to see this Xuan Zhenzi?
Xie Wenxing frowned. Shao Mingqing made a gesture of invitation to him.
Throw up your sleeves and can't go? Impossible, there is no chance to let go.
But I really don't want to share this opportunity with this kid and get rid of him?
No way. Get rid of him now, and the slippery boy might find another chance to slip back. Rather than letting him see this Xuan Zhenzi alone, it is better to watch from the side and feel at ease.
Xie Wenxing took a deep breath and raised his feet to step.
As Shao Mingqing said, these little Taoist priests were raised by the magnates in the capital with a great appetite, and it cost them five gold to get them to pass on a word.
Naturally, Shao Mingqing's words mocking Xuan Zhenzi's collection of defective cinnabar products.
After a cup of tea, they were invited into a simple room, where an old Taoist priest in his sixties and seventies, as inconspicuous as this Taoist temple, sat on a futon, his shoulders shrunk, looking small.
"Actually, my ears are about to grow calluses when I hear you like this." He said straight away, "People either curry favor with me or provoke me, and they all have one purpose, that is, to see me." ”
Xie Wenxing saluted with a little shame.
"I'm offended." He said.
"Okay, don't talk about this nonsense." Xuan Zhenzi said, "Master Xie, what are you asking for when you see me?" ”
Now Xie Wenxing has an official position of a housekeeper, and he deserves to be called an adult.
"I just admire the Taoist, and I am content when I see him." Xie Wenxing said with a smile.
Xuan Zhenzi ignored him.
"You Peng Shui Xie clan, now you can say that you are rich in the world, but this world is only rich and not able to do everything well, Da Wuqing is gone forever, you need the status in front of the emperor, now with the phoenix bloodstone, your status in front of the emperor is much better." He shook his head and shrunk and continued, "You have also been rewarded, and the officials on the Kuizhou Road have all entrusted you with their blessings, and they will definitely respect your Xie family in the future, and the people are also grateful to your Xie family because they are exempt from paying taxes. ”
Xie Wenxing was stunned by what he said, no wonder this old man had the emperor's blue eyes, and what he said was really heartfelt.
"Don't dare, don't dare no, no." He hurriedly said.
"People are restless because they are not satisfied." Xuan Zhenzi ignored him and continued, "You get this now, joy is joy, but more worry, worry is that this qiē will be lost, it will not last long. ”
Xie Wenxing nodded hurriedly.
Gen Zhenzi pushed the tea in front of him to him.
Xie Wenxing was flattered and hurriedly picked up.
"Ten gold." Xuan Zhenzi stretched out his hand at him and shook it.
Xie Wenxing almost squirted out a sip of tea.
This old Taoist has a lot of appetite compared to the little Taoist priests, and a bowl of tea costs ten gold!
"Tea is ordinary tea, but you see me as you wish, it's hard to buy me in this world." Xuan Zhenzi said seriously.
Ten gold was thrown into the water for Xie Wenxing, and he took it out happily.
"How can this worry be resolved, then?" He said.
"Let go and have peace of mind." Xuan Zhenzi said.
Put it down...
Xie Wenxing was about to ask again, but Xuan Zhenzi raised his hand at him.
"When it's over, good people please take care of themselves." He said.
Say what you're talking about and that's it?
Xie Wenxing was angry again, looking at the tea in front of him, fifteen gold, in exchange for a meal of ridicule and a bowl of tea?
"Dao Chief, I haven't said it yet, why are you finished?" Shao Mingqing said.
Xuan Zhenzi looked at him, and he didn't look at him since he came in, obviously treating him as a junior of the team.
"Do you want a bowl of tea, too?" Xuan Zhenzi said, pushed the tea in front of him, and stretched out his hand to Xie Wenxing.
Ten Golden ......
"He's a kid." Xie Wenxing hurriedly said, glaring at Shao Mingqing, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Shao Mingqing shook his head.
"Dao Chief, we didn't ask for something, Shicai has already said it, but I just came to tell you that your cinnabar is not good." He said.
Xuan Zhenzi sighed, raised half of his body and reached out to touch under the futon, and felt a box under Xie Wenxing's stunned gaze.
"Say it." He opened the box, "What's wrong?" ”
Inside the box was a fist-sized piece of crystal clear red cinnabar.
Pretty good......
Xie Wenxing said in his heart that although he had not been exposed to the Xie family's secret techniques of cinnabar, he had seen a lot of it every day, and he also knew what the grade of cinnabar was good or bad.
The cinnabar in front of me is definitely a top sand.
"Well, this sand is good." He spoke.
"I know it's good, I don't need you to say it, you're not good, just say it." Xuan Zhenzi interrupted him and said.
Xie Wenxing looked embarrassed.
It's not that he doesn't dare to offend because of Xuan Zhenzi's identity, but he can't offend if he wants to.
I really don't know what to say about this piece of cinnabar.
"The child's family doesn't know the height of the sky, and the first time he went out, the Taoist chief smiled and waited for him." He said apologetically, saying that Shao Mingqing was pulled, "Quickly admit your mistake to the Taoist." ”
I finally pushed the fault out.
Xuan Zhenzi looked at Shao Mingqing.
"Are you wrong?" He asked.
Shao Mingqing shook his head.
"Dao Chief, I don't actually understand the good times of cinnabar." He said, "But I know your piece of cinnabar is not good. ”
What do you mean by that?
Xie Wenxing raised his eyebrows and was about to drink it, but he saw Shao Mingqing also take out a box from his arms, push it over and open it.
"Because I know what the best cinnabar looks like." He said.
What is the best cinnabar?
Xie Wenxing and Xuan Zhenzi both looked at the box, and there was an egg-sized phoenix blood stone.
Oh my God!
Xie Wenxing jumped up.
And Xuan Zhenzi also sat up straight, it turned out that he was very tall, and he sat up straight, which was not smaller than Xie Wenxing's.
"Shao Mingqing! Where did you get this! Xie Wenxing blurted out
It can't be cut from a bloodstone, right?
Shao Mingqing sighed.
"I cut it off the Bloodstone." He said lightly.
Oh my God!
Xie Wenxing sat on the ground again with a puff, his face pale.
What kind of demon did I bring to the capital!
