Chapter 154: "Immortal" Pavilion Master
"That's the case, I'm just coming to Chang'an City, I heard that there are many scriptures in this Dayu Water Pavilion, and I came here to pay my respects today. Unfortunately, it was getting late at this time, and I couldn't find a place to stay. I wonder if the Taoist can let me in? ”
When you come out to do things, you can't reveal your true purpose. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive in this society. Think about it, everyone else knows what your hole cards are, and you still play a hammer!
He looked at me suspiciously, and I looked at him with small eyes.
"Oh, I see, come in." Although this Daoist is still a little suspicious of me, I believe that my words have dispelled the doubts in his heart.
The chief of the trail took me all the way to the corridor, I looked at the interior of the Dayu Water Pavilion, and found that it was indeed good.
"Dao Chief, that's the case, I don't want to rest yet, can I go find the book I want to read?"
"That's the case, sir, our rule here is that if you want to enter the back of the capital to read a book, you must get the consent of our pavilion master." The trailleader didn't look back, just told me.
Oh, so there's such a thing? Also, there are no rules, there is no circle, this matter is in the past. It's just a little bit, if there are hundreds of thousands of people every day, then isn't this pavilion master going to be tired to death?
"Can the Dao Master take me to the Pavilion Master now?" I asked tentatively, not letting him hear my urgency.
"Yes, yes, but generally the pavilion master does not see guests after dusk, this is the rule he personally set." The trail chief said.
What bullshit rules, I really didn't expect everyone to have it.
"Daoist Chief, let me know, I've finished reading the book I want to read today, and I'll go back immediately." I know I can't rush this matter, but I always feel like I don't know the bottom in my heart. Looking at the back of the little Taoist, I suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as I imagined.
"Didn't you hear what I just said, sir?" The little Taoist priest stopped, then looked at me and said, "The pavilion master said that there will be no guests after dusk." Even if you are the emperor in the imperial city, you can't. ”
Hey, this guy, it's not easy.
You must know that this society is a feudal society, and in the history of mankind, under this feudal system, the emperor is the biggest person. If the people and the common people dare to speak ill of the emperor or do things disrespectful to the emperor, it is absolutely not allowed. I didn't expect this pavilion master to set such a rule, it's really a cow.
Suddenly, I became interested in this pavilion master.
"I can't imagine that the pavilion master is so maverick that he dares not to give the emperor face." I said with a sigh.
"Of course, the current emperor is the apprentice of the pavilion master. On the other hand, the Pavilion Master will be fated to calculate. He is the most capable person today, not only in astronomy but also in geography. ”
I'm going, no wonder I'm so loud that I can say such a strange rule. Usually such people have quirks, well, even if you are an immortal, you can't imagine why I came here.
"Oh, by the way, sir, let me ask you a question, is your surname Dongfang?" The little Taoist priest stopped, turned his head to look at me and asked.
This guy's eyes are like fireflies in the night, glowing with fire. Delusion, definitely mine.
"It's amazing, how do you know, I'm surnamed Dongfang." Grandma, how did this guy know my name, did the pavilion master tell him? No way, what I can be sure of is that it is the first time I have come here, and this Taoist priest has seen me for the first time.
"Oh, it seems that the Pavilion Master is right." The little Taoist priest nodded and said, "Before dinner tonight, the pavilion master calculated that there will be an Oriental prince coming to him tonight. "He said it very calmly, and I listened to it with horror. Good fellow, this pavilion master is not simple, he can even know that I came to him tonight.
"Dongfang Gongzi, the pavilion master said, if the person who comes is Dongfang Gongzi, he will be brought directly to the pavilion master's room. If not, please go back. ”
I was speechless in amazement, this pavilion master is really a god.
"Let's go, the pavilion master is waiting for you."
I followed behind the little Taoist, step by step, feeling as if I had fallen into someone else's trap. People are waiting for me with their pockets open, and I'm just a fool, and I can't escape anymore, how did things come to this?
Along the way, the atmosphere was a little inexplicably depressing, and the drums kept playing in my heart, thinking about the pavilion master, while looking at the back of the person who was not fast or slow. If I leave now, he won't be able to stop me. But in that case, you won't be able to get the bamboo slips that the old eunuch said. When the time comes, maybe this guy will really show the emperor the blood cry between me and him. The thought of this makes my heart cold. Forget it, even if this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I have to see if I can eat it!
Hmph, isn't it just a pavilion master, what is there to be afraid of.
"Pavilion Master, Mr. Dongfang is here." The little Taoist priest stopped in front of a large room and said outside the door.
"Oh, let him in." A deep, old voice came from the room, and it gave me the impression that the Pavilion Master was at least sixty years old.
"It's the Pavilion Master." The little Taoist priest replied, and then said to me, "Mr. Dongfang, you can go in." ”
I looked at him nervously, then swallowed and looked at the moon in the sky. Strange, why is the moon in the sky obscured by dark clouds? It's weird, it's weird.
People say that this night is dark and windy, and the night is murderous, am I going to encounter an accident tonight?
After pushing the door in, I closed the door. At this time, I saw candles lit in the room. On top of two copper wax skewers. The inside of this room looks so plain. A table, a few chairs, and a bed. On the other side, on a high platform, sat cross-legged a man dressed in a gray robe with a sun and moon bun on his head. The bun is topped by a wooden hairpin.
He was closing his eyes and couldn't see the man's eyes. However, I have no doubt in the slightest that the eyes of this pavilion master are bright. He had his mouth closed, his gray beard, hanging straight down to his chest.
It seems that I am not mistaken, this pavilion master is at least sixty years old.
"Is it Mr. Dongfang?" Hearing me enter the room, the Pavilion Master finally opened his eyes.
"Ah, it's me, it's me, hello Pavilion Master." I hurriedly replied.
"Dongfang Gongzi, don't be restrained, let's sit down and talk about something." The pavilion master looked me up and down and said.
"It's okay, I'll just stand." I smiled and looked at him.
"Mr. Dongfang, what is the so-called thing when you come to me late at night?" The pavilion lord raised his eyelids, and although his voice was very steady, it gave people a sense of majesty. It seems that this person is really not an ordinary person.
"Oh, it's such a pavilion master, I heard that there is a ...... in Chang'an City" I told him the lie I told the little Taoist. Unexpectedly, after listening to it, the pavilion master laughed twice directly, shook his head and looked at me.
I stared at the hair with these eyes, and thought to myself, why are you staring at me like this, I'm not a big girl or something, what a pervert.
"Mr. Dongfang, do you think it's good to deceive me like this?" This guy directly threw out this sentence, which made me chuckle in my heart, thinking that this guy is really a fairy?
"I've known what you're here for." As if he hadn't seen my shock, the Pavilion Master continued, "None of what you just said is true. I know you don't want to read my books. Hmph, what you want is the bamboo slip that King Xiang hid in it! ”
"What?" I was so surprised that I said it directly.
"Don't you admit it yet?"
Good guy, it's terrible, this guy is the eye of the sky. My tricks became transparent in front of him, and even I became very transparent. Is this still human? Is this ancient cultivator so powerful? I now finally know that the Taoist spells in this ancient literary record are true.
"I ......" I felt a great pressure mentally, and I fell to my knees all at once. This man is so terrifying that I don't dare to deceive him at all.
He just glanced at me lightly, and then said, "Dongfang Shuo, I know your purpose, but you don't know my purpose. In order to make a comeback when he failed, King Xiang buried a large number of treasures in five places. The amount of these treasures is huge, and it is not at all what you and I can imagine. Therefore, King Xiang decided to seal the treasure and divide it into three bamboo slips. ”
"Yes, one of these three bamboo slips is indeed hidden in this Dayu Water Control Pavilion. But at all, I don't know where this bamboo slip is hidden. ”
"If you're looking for it, I'm not going to stop you. Just one thing you have to know, this treasure can change the fate of the people of the world, if you don't handle it well, you will never recover. ”
"Pavilion master...... "I don't know what to say, since he knows what I'm here for, how can he tell me anything so calmly?"
Things don't make sense, is this pavilion master testing me? I don't think so.
Things are frozen here, and what he says is like a sharp knife, stripping me of my body completely.
"Okay, don't say it, maybe it's numerology." The pavilion master suddenly sighed and said, "Mr. Dongfang, stand up." What you want, in the library. As I said, I don't know where to put it anymore. Because there are tens of thousands of bamboo slips in it. I'll give you three days, and if you're really destined, you can take the bamboo slips yourself. If you don't, don't blame me for being ruthless three days later. ”
"Hey...... This ......"
I was helpless for a while, and from the moment I entered the room, I couldn't speak at all. It's as if whatever I want to say in my heart and what I want to say in my mouth has been seen through by him!
Immortals, they are really immortals in the world!
