July is a bit special for the people, every family prepares yellow paper, because there is a mid-year festival in July, which is the day to worship the ancestors and send paper money, and I don't know whether His Majesty is intentional or unintentional, he chose to go to Yongchang Terrace on Shangxian Pavilion Island to pray for the blessings of the people of Daning on this day.

Yongchangtai was built in the Chu period, and the Taoist pavilion on the Xiange Island was also built in the Chu period, but the Chu Emperor was far away in the Purple Imperial City, according to which thousands of miles away, Chu for hundreds of years, only two emperors had been to Penglai, there should have been three, and the other one was annoyed halfway, so he simply turned around and went back.

Xiange Island is the name of Emperor Chu.

Emperor Li Chengtang of Daning felt that it was inappropriate, so he ordered to change Xiange Island to Qining Island, and change Xianyu Island to Yongan Island.

His Majesty the Emperor of Daning said that there are no immortals in the world, so naturally there are no immortals, and Xiao Zhang Zhenren on the Dragon and Tiger Mountain of the Taoist Sect also has to nod and say yes, then of course there are no immortals in the Immortal Pavilion, and the Taoist patriarch who was enshrined before had to retire from the immortal class, and His Majesty said that it was not the so-called immortals who blessed Daning, but the border army of Daning.

Before the emperor, Xiao Zhang Zhenren first went to Qi Ning Island, and all the arrangements here had to be in accordance with Taoist rules.

Xiao Zhang Zhenren was wearing a strange thing on his face, like two bottle bottoms buckled on his eyes, which was a little more cute, and he was also a little proud.

I can see it clearly, and I am naturally proud.

Maybe it's because the two thick crystals are really a little falling, and he has to use his hands to lift them up from time to time, so he has a little more pedantic temperament, and he looks more old, and this delicate appearance looks old, but in fact, it is more fun.

The fairy pavilion view was also renamed the Qi Ning Temple, so Daning has two Taoist temples with the word Ning in the name, for Daning such a country that suppresses the divine power to the point that there is not much dignity, Taoism has been regarded as an honor, think about the first time Zen Buddhism entered the Central Plains a few years ago, it can be regarded as high-spirited and want to become bigger and stronger, only to find out later that Ning people are really terrible, they are not no faith, but believe in this country.

Not to mention collecting incense money, people who later entered the Zen temple will send rice oil as long as they register, and the promotion has been promoted for a while, but it is not effective, especially faceless.

There are dozens of Taoists in the Qining Temple, old and young, all of them are a little frightened, after all, they don't often receive emperors and generals, but it is His Majesty the Emperor Daning who is coming, what if the service is not good?

Xiao Zhang Zhenren is here, it is also a kind of salvation for them, everything is done according to Xiao Zhang Zhenren's instructions, and if it is wrong, it is naturally Xiao Zhang's mistake.

The first thing Xiao Zhang Zhenren did when he arrived at the Temple of Prayer was to gather all the Taoists and give a lecture in the main hall of the Taoist Temple, although he was young but had a high status and high knowledge, there may be some people who were not convinced at first, but the Taoist allusions he came to the words at his fingertips, and no one was dissatisfied after half an hour.

In the afternoon, Xiao Zhang Zhenren returned to the palace to see His Majesty, and the first thing His Majesty asked him was: "What do you think?" ”

"It's uncomfortable."

Xiao Zhang Zhenren replied: "I can't see anything, but it's just uncomfortable." ”

"When a Taoist returns to Taoism, it is like returning home, but you feel uncomfortable, then there is a problem."

Emperor: "You can see clearly, why can't you see clearly, you just feel a little uncomfortable." ”

"The minister wants to go to pray for a night."

Xiao Zhang Zhenren leaned over: "Tomorrow, before Your Majesty goes to pray for Ningguan, the minister will come back." ”

"Go ahead."

The emperor was silent for a moment: "You came from Longhu Mountain, you didn't bring a single disciple, and a few Taoists from Weiyang Palace accompanied you this time, you brought them all, you can't lose the scene, so that the Taoists in Qining Temple feel that you have no pomp." ”

Xiao Zhang Zhenren said in his heart that His Majesty is still a person who talks about pomp? After thinking about it, isn't this nonsense, of course Your Majesty has to be a person who talks about pomp.

"You don't need to come back and go to the Prayer Meditation Temple with me, just wait in the Prayer Meditation Temple."

The emperor said: "Wei Lan, arrange for some guards to live in the Taoist temple with the real person tonight." ”

Wei Lan, the commander of the Ouchi guards, immediately nodded: "The minister will go and select people." ”

"Do you have a clue?"

"The minister is derelict in his duties, and he still finds nothing until now, that person is cunning and ruthless, and even kills his companions in order to hide his whereabouts, and the minister has been sending people to keep an eye on the fleet of the Sang people outside the city, and no outsiders are close."

"Let's go ahead and pray for tomorrow."

The emperor glanced at Wei Lan: "Big and small things, only tomorrow." ”

Wei Lan's face was solemn: "The minister knows." ”

No matter who it is, if it is not good for His Majesty, the only chance is to pray for His Majesty on Ninging Island tomorrow, Qining Island is surrounded by water and there are many reefs, and the local fishermen are familiar with it and say that they can land somewhere, unlike Yong'an Island, the terrain is relatively flat and there are sandy beaches to land, the safest way is to take the rope bridge from Yong'an Island, the rope bridge is narrow, the width can only accommodate two people side by side, and there can not be too many people walking at the same time, otherwise there will be a danger of collapse.

This place is like a prison, and once you are trapped, it is not easy to come out.

Xiao Zhang Zhenren left the palace with a few Taoists from Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, and returned to Qining Temple again, and the Taoists in the temple breathed a sigh of relief and tensed their nerves again, so they had to deal with this young but big little Taoist carefully.

Wei Lan assigned twelve Ouchi guards, and they were stationed inside and outside the courtyard where Xiao Zhang Zhenren lived, even the Taoists in the Qining Temple could not approach casually, let alone enter and exit, but Xiao Zhang Zhenren was always so uneasy, and he was still wandering around the temple in the middle of the night, and he seemed to think that the murals were exquisite and that the wooden statue carving was good, and he looked very carefully.

However, I still don't see why.

At dawn the next day, the forbidden army of the brigade arrived at Yong'an Island first, inside and outside, left and right, all of them were soldiers of the forbidden army in bright armor, and all the roads were almost blocked, but His Majesty loved the people, so the forbidden army was not allowed to prevent the people from approaching, and on both sides of the road were local fishermen waiting for His Majesty's car to arrive, and they were all excited to see it one by one.

How many ordinary people can meet the emperor in this life? The vast majority of Ning people have the same idea as His Majesty, thinking that there are no Buddhas and no immortals in the world, and if you really want to talk about it, Your Majesty is the god in the heart of the Buddha in their hearts, and the gods in the hearts of the immortals.

In the carriage, the scholar Mu Zhaotong's face was a little ugly, and the scholar's wife reached over to hold his hand: "What is the master afraid of?" ”

"Fear of witnessing."

Mu Zhaotong raised his head and looked into his wife's eyes: "You know, what will inevitably be witnessed today, yesterday it was the sword soldiers who guarded the island, and the forbidden army suddenly changed early in the morning......"

The scholar was silent for a moment: "If you really will witness something, it is also the inevitability of history, Daning to today, history to today, and the master to today, it is not a coincidence, it is not accidental, but inevitable, and the master does not have to worry too much." ”

"I'm not worried, I'm afraid."

Mu Zhaotong let out a long breath: "Back then, I wanted to prevent His Majesty from entering Beijing, but it was to prevent it, so I was not a little afraid in my heart, and what I want to witness today is not to prevent anything, but to ......"

He lowered his head again, and closed his eyes after a moment: "Madam is right, it's not an accident, let it be." ”

Next to His Majesty's Imperial Rim, the general of the forbidden army Xiahouzhi rode a horse with a long lance, his lance was personally taught by the general Yuanshu of the great general, a long time ago the general said that his lance attacked Xiahouzhi only learned five points, the lance is the most domineering thing in the weapon, of course, it can only attack, the general said that Xiahouzhi only learned five points is not derogatory, but praise, the second half of his sentence is...... The other five points of enlightenment are above me.

On the other side of the Imperial Rim, Wei Lan, the commander of the Ouchi guards, looked calm, but today he brought three swords, one on each side of his waist, and one on his back, which looked a little strange.

Early in the morning, a group of sailor warships were assigned to enter the sea area and cruise around Senkaku Island, but several of the sailor's principals were all seriously injured, which made it even more worrying.

After His Majesty got up this morning, he suddenly issued a decree, and the sword soldiers of the Eastern Frontier withdrew ten miles outside the scope of Yong'an Island, and they were not allowed to approach without a will.

The courtiers were panicked and worried, and they were also afraid, Your Majesty is really going to tear your face with the great general Pei Tingshan, Your Majesty is praying for blessings in Dongjiang, and the swords and soldiers in Dongjiang are not allowed to approach, and the face of the general Pei Tingshan is torn to pieces by His Majesty.

Xiao Mianhu, the sword general who was originally in charge of the deployment on Qining Island on Yong'an Island, was directly transferred out, and the forbidden army swept the ground in all the places where the two islands were within reach, and after making sure that there was no problem, he reassigned the team to escort him.

Early in the morning, His Majesty beat Pei Tingshan with a stick.

When everyone was worried that Pei Tingshan would turn his face on the spot, Pei Tingshan followed His Majesty all the way to the island with a cold face, everyone could see how ugly that face was, but he restrained it, if he brushed his sleeves away, he was afraid that something big would really happen today, but some people were more worried, and General Pei, who was restrained, may not have a plan.

The sword soldiers retreated ten miles, and there were only forbidden troops on the two islands.

His Majesty's Imperial Rim stopped on the shore, there is a stone bridge from the shore to Yong'an Island, the stone bridge is nearly 400 zhang long, and it is also quite wide, and on both sides of the stone bridge are almost people next to each other of the forbidden soldiers, the front is like a forest, and the sword is like a mountain.

His Majesty came down from the imperial chariot, surrounded by Wei Lan and Xiahouzhi, and in front of him were the 36 forbidden army captains with long lances under Xia Houzhi's cronies, these people were all taught by Xiahou Zhi by hand, 36 lances, can open mountains, can also break the sea.

Behind is a team of Ouchi guards, their hands on the hilt.

Pei Tingshan walked behind His Majesty with a cold face, and beside him was Mu Zhaotong, a university scholar, and the two glanced at each other, and then separated their eyes.

Outside Qi Ningguan, Xiao Zhang Zhenren sat on the threshold with a sad expression, and several entourages did not dare to disturb him.

"I haven't slept all night, Your Majesty asked me to see clearly, I still haven't seen clearly, there is nothing unusual inside and outside in Qi Ning Guan, and those Taoists are also people who don't know martial arts, so it's safe and sound here?"

He asked.

He couldn't even see it, where could his subordinates see it.

A Taoist said with some concern: "Real people can't see it, it's okay if there's nothing, if there's something, real people will be unlucky." ”

By implication, they are also unlucky.

Xiao Zhang Zhenren was depressed, and when he heard this, he became even more depressed: "The clothes are not neatly dressed!" ”

Those Daoists were all stunned, and said in their hearts that this anger was sprinkled on us?

"I'll pick it up."

Xiao Zhang Zhenren got up and thought for a while: "Forget it, just wait at the gate of the view." ”

He muttered to himself in a very low voice: "Your Majesty decided to come to Dongjiang a few years ago, those people have a few years to prepare, how can they be seen for a while, if Your Majesty really has any accidents today, I am afraid that the line of Longhu Mountain will be broken, before I came, the master said that the meteorology of Longhu Mountain is connected to the national fortune of Daning, is the master miscalculated?" ”

In the cuffs, his fingers kept moving, and even if he counted it, it was not a good fortune or a curse.
