Chapter 66: Cold Reception

Congratulations to her! Congratulations to her!

is a good Xie Roujia, not only hooked up with the king of Dongping County, but also hooked up with this Zhou Shizi.

No wonder she had such good luck, she was escorted by the king of Dongping County when she entered Beijing, and Zhou Shizi arranged for her to enter the palace.

That arrangement may not be to embarrass Xie Roujia at all, but to make her stand out.

No wonder she was so bold and dared to beat people in the palace.

Why, why, why is she so unlucky?

Xie Rouhui stretched out her hand to cover her face and cried.

This sudden cry startled everyone around him.

Zhou Chengzhen even jumped two steps away.

"It'sβ€”" He glanced at her with some disgust, and then howled dryly.

This sudden dry howl once again stunned the people around her, and even Xie Rouhui was startled and stopped crying.

"Who wouldn't." Zhou Chengzhen said, then raised his hand to hide his face, and twisted his body, "Second Miss is bullying." ”

He staggered away with a humming sound.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhou Chengzhen staggered a few steps and laughed, stepped on the horse in three steps and two steps and made a mouth shape, urging the horse to gallop away.

"Second Miss..."The steward looked at Xie Rouhui.

Xie Rouhui bit her lip fiercely and stomped her foot.

"Let's go." She gritted her teeth and shouted, lifting her skirt and walking quickly.

Xie Yao hurriedly followed.

"Megumi, it's okay for you to cry here, this is the palace." She said with a white face.

"What's wrong with me crying? The second miss can fight in the palace, what's wrong with the second miss crying twice outside the palace? Xie Rouhui raised her eyebrows and shouted.

Xie Yao didn't dare to say a word, and watched Xie Rouhui hurry into the car.

The people in this capital are strange. Megumi has also become stranger, not as calm as she has been along the way.

Over here. Can you really find a chance to turn around?

Xie Yao's eyes flickered.

"Miss Yao." The steward's voice sounded behind him.

Xie Yao came back to his senses and hurriedly followed into the car.

The carriage drove slowly down the royal street, and a small Taoist priest standing behind a horse stone on the yamen stood up. Pedaled into the mezzanine behind him.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped there.

"Master, the prince has passed." The little Taoist priest lifted the curtain and said.

Gen Zhenzi sat in it with half-squinted eyes.

"Second Miss Xie?" He frowned and muttered to himself.

"Master, can I go?" The little Taoist priest asked.

Xuan Zhenzi nodded, lowered the curtain and slowly walked towards the palace gate.

……………………………………….

The scent of sandalwood came from a palace, and there was a subdued chanting sound inside, and when the sound stopped, the attendants at the door rushed in.

The room is not as smoky as the outside legend, except for the hanging statue of Sanqing Daojun and two futons, there is no alchemy furnace and other things. It's more of a study than a monastery.

The little Taoist priest packed up the incense burner and jade chime, and the attendants held tea for the emperor and Xuan Zhenzi respectively.

"This Tao Te Ching is once listened to and comprehended again." The Emperor said, taking a sip of tea.

Xuan Zhenzi nodded.

"The truth is mysterious, endless." He said, pausing at this point, "The king of Dongping is out again?" ”

The Emperor hummed.

"I said I was going to Shandong to have a look." He said.

Xuan Zhenzi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Real person, say whatever you want." The Emperor smiled, "Don't take that tone. ”

Gen Zhenzi smiled.

"ι™›xiΓ . We've been looking for the First Emperor's alchemy for twenty years, right? He said.

The Emperor raised his sleeves and leaned on the pillow and hummed.

"After October of this year, it will be 20 years." He said, "The legendary First Emperor's alchemy tripod has never been traced. King Anding has been looking for the first emperor for ten years, and Yan'er has been looking for me for almost ten years, if it weren't for someone who saw it with their own eyes. I have to doubt the authenticity of the first emperor, but although there have been several traces in the past 20 years. But it's all empty, I thought again. Is it not fortunate to get this, only the first emperor in this world can get it from heaven. ”

"Your Majesty, although the First Emperor's Alchemy Ding is nowhere to be seen, Da Wuqing has a trace." Xuan Zhenzi said.

The Emperor frowned.

"You mean the Xie family?" He said, and smiled again, "Yes, that little girl is good, but she has a bit of ancestral legacy, but Yan'er has checked, the Xie family's generations of witches do not have a precedent for alchemy, Peng Shui and even Bashu, there is no news of the First Emperor Ding, even if the little girl of the Xie family succeeds in the future, when it comes to alchemy, I think it is not as good as you." ”

"It is recorded in the book that first there was a great witch Qingjin offering cinnabar, and then there was Danding in the world." Xuan Zhenzi said, "Or these two complement each other, just like this Xie family, silent for a hundred years, phoenix bloodstone appeared when this Dannu first took office, and then there were various visions." ”

The Emperor frowned slightly.

"It's not uncommon to call for wind and rain when you practice witchcraft, and so on." He said, "As long as it's a witch, you can do it." ”

"But this is the Xie family's witch." Xuan Zhenzi said, "After all, he is the descendant of the Great Wuqing. ”

The Emperor stroked his teacup and groaned.

"It is precisely because they are the witches of the Xie family that I have high hopes for them and give them value, what does the Taoist mean?" He asked.

"I mean, Your Majesty might as well stop looking for the First Emperor Ding and concentrate on the Xie family." Xuan Zhenzi said, "Maybe there will be a big opportunity in the future." ”

The emperor sat up straight and looked at Xuan Zhenzi.

"Dao Chief, who values the Xie family so much, but what verification is there?" He asked.

Xuan Zhenzi responded.

"The last time I came to Beijing, I once saw the young lady of the Xie family, and I saw her extraordinary face." He said.

Xuan Zhenzi's physiognomy is very powerful, and the emperor knows this very well, so he thought for a moment when he heard the words.

"Well, in that case, I'm waiting for this great opportunity." The emperor said, raising his hand to summon people, "Send a message to let the king of Dongping come back, and if I continue to look for it like this, I am afraid that the king of Dongping will also go to sea like Xu Fu to find an immortal and never return." ”

A chubby chamberlain replied.

"Be quick." The Emperor smiled again, "He's really going to sea." ”

The waiter responded with a smile and hurried out.

After saying this, the atmosphere in the hall became more relaxed.

"Oh, there's one more thing." Xuan Zhenzi said again.

The Emperor gestured.

"I've got a new disciple." Xuan Zhenzi said.

The emperor was a little playful.

"Who can get your blue eyes?" He laughed.

"Your Majesty has seen it too. It was the young man who came with the Xie family when they offered the phoenix blood stone, surnamed Shao. Xuan Zhenzi said.

"The Xie family is in order to slap you. Someone for you? The Emperor said in surprise.

Gen Zhenzi smiled.

"Your Majesty, it wasn't sent by the Xie family. In fact, when I was sending the phoenix bloodstone, this kid climbed up to me. He smiled, "It has nothing to do with the Xie family." ”

On the one hand, he told Shao Mingqing's origin.

The emperor smiled and stroked the tea bowl carelessly.

"There are a lot of your disciples, and suddenly you accept a young man, and the older disciples are just afraid that they will not accept it, and it is not a good thing for him." He said, "Since you have the heart to cultivate, it is better to take it step by step in a down-to-earth manner. ”

It turned out to be a dismissal.

Xuan Zhenzi was surprised in his heart, and the expression on his face was still the same, and he responded.

Accompanying Xuan Zhenzi's sermon to the emperor, he returned with a large number of emperor's rewards. It took a while to be busy in the Taoist temple before it was cleaned up.

Xuan Zhenzi cleaned his hands and changed his clothes before serving the little Taoist priest.

"Master." Someone holds a bowl of tea.

Gen Zhenzi looked at the young man in front of him wearing a new robe.

"Mingqing, does the Xie family have any secret skills for alchemy?" He asked.

Shao Mingqing turned around and left, and Xuan Zhenzi smiled and hurriedly grabbed him.

"Teasing you." He laughed, "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed. ”

"Master, don't make this joke again." Shao Mingqing said.

Gen Zhenzi smiled and nodded.

"Then don't call me Master anymore." He said.

Shao Mingqing was stunned.

"It can only be called the Lord." Xuan Zhenzi continued, "Whether you can call Master or not depends on your future creation." ”

It seems that the emperor dismissed it.

Shao Mingqing did not show surprise and gloom, but smiled.

"Yes, Lord." He bowed.

Gen Zhenzi nodded, turned around and walked towards the inner room.

"I can call Master on my own. That's the real Great Creation, but it's also very difficult. He said.

"It's very difficult to rely on yourself, and the master leads the door to practice in an individual." Shao Mingqing saluted again, "It's already a great creation to have a master lead into the door. ”

Xuan Zhenzi smiled and nodded, did not speak again, and went in.

Only then did Shao Mingqing and the little Taoist priests clean up the room and retreated. As soon as I came out, I heard a bang, someone jumped down from the wall, and the little Taoist priests screamed in fright.

The man had already made great strides. After taking a look at Shao Mingqing, he just took two steps and swished back.

"Hey! You're not the one! Zhou Chengzhen looked at Shao Mingqing with a look of surprise.

"Shao Mingqing." Shao Mingqing said.

Zhou Chengzhen: Oh oh twice. Looking at the Taoist robe on his body, he smiled again.

"That's it. Bloodstone is not given for nothing. He smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Shao Mingqing's shoulder, "Not bad, do a good job, don't let down my daughter-in-law." ”

Without waiting for Shao Mingqing to speak, he strode forward.

"Old Dao, old Dao, what good things did you have from the emperor today, let me pick and choose, and I will give it to my daughter-in-law."

Shao Mingqing looked back at Zhou Chengzhen who broke into Xuan Zhenzi's room.

"He's getting married?" He couldn't help but ask.

The little priests shook their heads.

"I don't know, he is clamoring to marry every day, and he can't wait to see all the ladies in the capital, and several adults who have already provoked him want to go to the emperor to sue him and drive him out of the capital." A low Taoist priest whispered.

Him?

Shao Mingqing looked back again.

He thought of the clean house in the green building when he was in Pengshui.

"Let's go, it's time for me to do my homework." Shao Mingqing retracted his gaze and said with a smile to the little Taoist priest in front of him, "Little senior brother, I'm going to bother you to guide." ”

…………………………………………

A wave of the sea swelled in, splashing on the bluestone, and the corners of the shoes, feet and clothes of the people standing on the bluestone were already wet.

He wore a plain cloth shirt with dark gold piping, and stood with his hands in his hands, the corners of his clothes fluttering with the sea breeze, which looked like a painting from a distance.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

A voice came from behind him.

The person in the painting did not look back.

The scribe walked to the beach and paused.

"A letter is coming." He said.

As soon as the words fell, the person in the painting turned his head.

The scribe carefully stepped on the bluestone with his robe, and moved it step by step.

"It's not a letter from Peng Shui." He stood beside the king of Dongping County and said with a smile.

"After a few days of seafood, you can't speak?" Dongping County King said.

The scribe grinned and did not speak, and handed the letter over.

King Dongping took it and took it and looked at it, raised his feet and jumped easily along the bluestone, and arrived at the beach in three steps and two steps.

"Back to Beijing." He said.

The guards scattered around responded with a hula and followed.

The scribe walked down from the bluestone with the careful support of a guard.

"My lord, you really can't speak, how can you say where the letter didn't come from, shouldn't you say where it came from?" The seventeen or eighteen-year-old guard said.

The scribe shook his head.

"You young people, you don't understand the hearts of the elderly." He laughed, "It's just that you can't speak." ”

After that, he got to the beach, shook off his robe, and hurried to chase after the king of Dongping County, who had already walked away.

The little guard stood still and scratched his head.

Young people don't understand the hearts of older people? Isn't that the other way around? His father used to say that he didn't know what you young people were thinking.

However, isn't His Highness waiting for Peng Shui's letter?

Why did the scribes often ask if there was a reply from Peng Shui?

Your Highness still needs to wait for a letter? Except for His Majesty the Emperor, who dares not to reply to His Highness in time?
