Thousands of years of ancient capital, standing under the city naturally gave birth to a sense of historical solemnity, just the city gate, there are more than a dozen, each door does not know how many people to send every day.

Not only the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also the Hu people from the Western Regions, the caravans of the Nanyang States, and the tributary envoys of the subordinate vassal states all converged towards the core of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yan Chixia sat in the carriage, dressed in a clean but somewhat shabby robe, and looked at the three big characters of Chaotianmen, as if immersed in memories.

With the virtual memory in this body, Yan Chixia is not the first time to come to the capital.

At that time, Yan Chixia was also a scholar in his prime, and he also went to Beijing to take the exam to seek fame.

All the way to the Jinshi, into the palace test, it seems that he is about to become famous.

Yan Chixia openly criticized the imperial court policy during the palace examination, and even criticized the emperor for being overjoyed and extravagant, and was directly brushed off his fame and never hired.

Later, he gave up the idea of seeking fame, and was born to practice, Buddha and Tao, but still not to recite a righteous song.

is not a Taoist, a monk, or a scholar, no one knows what he is cultivating, and the only thing that the world knows is the name of the sword immortal.

And the immortal character of this sword immortal is not worthy of the name.

The carriage went all the way along the avenue, and when it passed the gate of the inner square of the city, he saw an old official waiting outside, and when he saw the carriage coming, he quickly stepped forward.

It was not someone else who came to greet Yan Chixia, it was Qi Jinpeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

That's right, it is Yan Chixia's old acquaintance, Qi Jinpeng, who fought against the old demon of Montenegro and Nie Xiaoqian in Jinhua Mansion together, after he left, he devoted himself to studying, and now he is an official all the way to the Ministry of Rites, which can be regarded as a very human minister, and the previous one is the position of Zaifu.

This time, he also picked up Yan Chixia for Liu Yuanchao, the prime minister of the current dynasty, of course, there was a reason why Qi Jinpeng and Yan Chixia were familiar with each other.

Before Qi Jinpeng could speak, a voice came from inside the carriage: "I haven't seen you for many years!

Qi Jinpeng laughed: "Brother Yan still remembers me, it is really an honor for Qi." ”

Yan Chixia immediately said: "I said why Liu Yuanchao, the prime minister of the dynasty, invited me to Beijing, it turned out that it had something to do with you. ”

Qi Jinpeng shook his head: "This is not my idea, but Liu Lao has been obsessed with Brother Yan for a long time, although Brother Yan does not go out of the mountain, but the name of Sword Immortal Yan Chixia is known all over the world." ”

Yan Chixia still didn't even get out of the car: "To put it bluntly, I tried so hard to invite me here, I think it's not a matter of the world, but a matter of ghosts and gods, right?"

"Can't even be solved when the national teacher of the dynasty is the master?"

The officials of this world are not just silent ghosts, as officials, they naturally know a little about the ghosts and gods and the things of cultivation, and the position of the national teacher is a feudal title that has been carried out by all dynasties, and the role is to manage the affairs of the ghosts and gods for the imperial court.

However, before the ghosts and gods had their own dungeon constraints, the demons naturally had the decent Dao Sect to suppress, and the high heavenly court looked down on everything, and most of the time it was naturally not the turn of the human court to take care of it, and they couldn't control some major events.

But now that the heavenly court and the hell are in chaos all of a sudden, there is no one to maintain the order in the yang world, and the court has no outline law, so I don't know where to start.

Qi Jinpeng sighed: "This matter of the underworld is naturally controlled by the imperial court, but this matter of the underworld and ghosts and gods, the official and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are powerless. ”

"Today, there are few people who can surpass Brother Yan in terms of cultivation and profundity, this time I invite Brother Yan over, there are really ten thousand urgent things, and Brother Yan needs to take action. ”

"It's not just about the people, it's about the world. ”

"Something happened to the Son of Heaven?" As soon as Yan Chixia spoke, Qi Jinpeng was stunned.

Before he finished selling out, the other party guessed it, how could he continue to say this.

Yan Chixia continued: "You are waiting for me here, there is another pair of carriages and horses behind you, and the one guarding next to me should be an internal attendant, who seems to be taking me into the palace to meet people." ”

"When Liu Yuanchao wants to see me, he will not arrange it in the palace, let alone arrange a eunuch to pick me up. ”

"It's so hidden, for fear that others will find out that I'm in the capital, and I'm so impatient, don't think about it, it's only when something happens to the Son of Heaven. ”

Qi Jinpeng was impressed: "Brother Yan is still the same as in the past, nothing has changed!"

"There are some things that I can't tell Brother Yan, so I ask Brother Yan to change to a carriage and horse and enter the palace with me. ”

Yan Chixia stepped down from the carriage, and when the two sides saw each other, they couldn't help laughing, Yan Chixia showed the vicissitudes of life and looked a little more superior, Qi Jinpeng was also too old, but because he had been in a high position for a long time, he looked powerful and extraordinary.

Compared to that year, it feels like time has flown by.

The eunuch greeted Qi Jinpeng and Yan Chixia into the carriage, and without saying a word or waving his hand, he drove the carriage towards the palace.

Qi Jinpeng and Yan Chixia in the car also talked about some things that happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty recently.

The first thing to talk about was the old demon of Montenegro who the two of them were familiar with: "The belief in the god of Montenegro in the area of Mount Tai is in an uproar, and the god of this underworld is blatantly interfering in the affairs of the world, and I don't know what An's mind is." ”

Yan Chixia was at ease with the old god of the sword box on her back: "It's not just the old demon of Montenegro who is ready to move. ”

Qi Jinpeng has more information in the court, and he can be regarded as the most information among the actors who have come to the court, relying on his identity as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has already grasped the situation and the first move by relying on various information.

However, the more he knew, the more Qi Jinpeng felt powerless, this was not at all something that he could play with an official above the court: "Yes! Eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake, it is said that there is a real dragon in the world, and the water tribes in the world have gone to worship, it is said that the real dragon will definitely go to the water when it is born, and the land will be flooded for thousands of miles, I don't know how many people will suffer, I hope it is not true." ”

"The belief in the evil Buddha outside the Saiwai is becoming more and more intense, and even many Buddhism in the Middle-earth Dynasty have voted in the past, and the instability of the border is mostly because of this evil Buddha. ”

"And this great drought in the north, listening to what you say, you know that it was born from a drought, it is really an eventful autumn!"

"Fortunately, Brother Yan, you went out of the mountain, got rid of this drought, relieved the drought in the north, and saved tens of millions of Li people in several counties in the north. ”

Qi Jinpeng played the role of a court official, and he seemed to be very skilled, and at a glance he looked like a capable minister who was worried about the country and the people.

Yan Chixia said: "Although the great drought in the north has been eliminated, this drought is only the beginning. ”

"Start?" Qi Jinpeng knew that this was Yan Chixia's intention to reveal information to him.

Yan Chixia nodded: "The drought fish has been inherited from ancient times, it is the slave of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and it has no longer appeared since ancient times, and I have not heard of such an existence as a drought fish for thousands of years, and it is even more unprecedented to look through ancient books." ”

"I'm afraid that the birth of the drought is not just an accident, but the return of the ancient god of the Nine Heavens Xuannu. ”

Qi Jinpeng's face changed greatly, and before he could elaborate, the carriage and horse had already arrived in front of the palace gate.
