Chapter 18 The Wicked Guest Comes to the Door
At the beginning of June, the streamer was like fire.
Early in the morning, the sun rises from the east, the sun falls on the Weishui, the river surface is glowing with golden light, the river breeze caresses the surface of the lake, rippling like a long dragon swimming, and the ripples are like pieces of golden scales.
The sun falls on the peach blossom forest behind the Xuanzhen Temple.
The peach leaves are verdant and dripping, and the dew drops rolling on the leaves reflect the morning light, creating a little golden light in the forest.
Du Rui, dressed in white with hemp rope wrapped around his waist, walked slowly in the peach forest, his eyes looking straight ahead, as if he was looking at a far, far away, his eyes had no focus, and he was immersed in an unknown world at first glance.
Mo Chou followed behind him with his sword.
She was wearing a blue skirt with a blue belt around her waist, the hem of the skirt was attached to the top of her feet, and under her feet were a pair of boots, the boots were made of deerskin, colorful colors, and the soles were very thick, and there were several layers of deerskin, which were covered with uneven patterns, which could also enhance the friction on the ground and help stabilize the figure.
Even in the peach blossom forest, Mo Chou still couldn't relax.
Last time, Du Rui was taken away on the Tianjin Bridge, although he was sent back the next day, even the Huizhen Daoist who was in charge of the peach blossom forest did not notice it, Mo Chou was still very unhappy.
She considered herself derelict in her duties.
That night, she couldn't sleep, for fear that Du Rui would never return.
After all, she has also taken care of Du Rui for several years, at first she did not have the slightest defense against Du Rui, only neuropathy would guard against a stupid child, subconsciously, she regarded him as her little brother and took care of him meticulously, which is also one of the reasons why Du Rui was able to grow up to ten years old smoothly, in the past so many years, she has never left him for a day.
Fortunately, the woman kept her promise, and Du Rui came back the next day.
Her gaze never took off Du Rui's feet.
Although there is nothing too treacherous in the peach blossom forest, there are not many fallen leaves, there are no thorns and the like, but occasionally there are tree roots sticking out of the ground, and the land is uneven, she is worried that Du Rui will fall, after all, at this moment, Du Rui is wandering outside the world.
Mo Chou also knows that Du Rui is not stupid.
On the day of Danfeng Palace, because of the death of his mother, he was stimulated, and his soul loss was mostly cured, however, he still had heart disease, and he was often distracted, and the real fugue was not a disguise.
Therefore, she was worried that Du Rui would fall.
In the past, Du Rui often wrestled when he was out of the world, sometimes he hit the street, and his face was bloody, and when he got up, when nothing happened, he didn't wipe it, and he didn't know the pain, so he continued to walk forward.
Whenever something like that happened, she would always blame herself for a long time.
Yes, Du Rui is out of the world.
The mind is immersed in the scriptures that change from one fish to another.
As long as you visualize the scriptures, it will slowly unfold in the sea of knowledge, there is no need to understand the meaning of those scriptures, all the scriptures are tadpole-shaped symbols, shining with golden luster, beating gently, once the mind is immersed in it, it will also beat with it, as if it is pulled by an invisible line, every time it is pulled, the dantian qi sea is gently shaken, the clouds are condensed together, vaguely with the shape of a big fish.
True qi is like fog, landing towards the dantian.
The originally dry dantian already had water vapor, covered with a wet, faint layer of mist, if the mind fell, you could faintly hear the sound of Bao flowing, very light, very fine, but you could hear it.
The technique of changing the fish dragon is indeed domineering, and it is worthy of being a royal secret.
Of course, Du Rui's talent is also extremely amazing, his spiritual power is already very strong, and he can easily visualize all the scriptures, echoing every word and pulling each other.
Later, Tang Tang consumed his innate true qi to push his blood and opened up all the meridians in his body, coupled with the effect of Qinglian Biluo Dan, it played a very magical effect, and dug out Du Rui's potential, and the dantian qi sea naturally changed, and the speed of absorbing true qi was increased dozens of times.
After that, you just need to work hard.
When the time comes, once the dantian becomes the ocean, the foundation will be completed.
At this time, although Du Rui was outside the world, it was different from before.
Although his mind was immersed in the sea of consciousness, echoing those ichthyosaur scriptures, he instinctively controlled his body very freely, and even if there were tree roots under his feet to block the way, he would naturally step over.
Don't worry.
Of course, Mo Chou didn't know this, she still looked at Du Rui's feet carefully.
After returning to Xuanzhen Temple a few days ago, Du Rui was just like now, scurrying around in the peach blossom forest with nothing to do.
These days, because of Xue Zhuo's assassination, Jing Zhaoyin ordered that Jin Wuwei, Shence Army, and Six Gates were all dispatched to Dasuo Chang'an, making the entire Chang'an City and Wannian County jump.
Wei Yue felt that it was best not to go out, so as not to cause trouble, so he didn't even go to Xinglu.
Walking to the grass hall, Du Rui stopped.
Mo Chou stopped, a little surprised.
A few days ago, Du Rui got up early in the morning and wandered around in the peach forest, and he didn't stop until noon.
Then, Mo Chou heard the voice.
In the distance, near the courtyard gate, there was a noisy sound, and after a while, accompanied by the sound of talking and quarrelling, a series of hurried footsteps came from far to near from that side.
Du Rui's face was calm, and he walked to the front of the grass hall, under the plane tree.
Then, he sat on the recliner with his butt, lay his small body on the chair, looked up at the blue sky that had not yet been completely ruled by the fiery red sun, and put on a trance and forgot about things.
Mo Chou didn't say anything, and instead stood behind him.
Not long after, the group walked through the peach forest and came to the thatched cottage.
Walking in front was Wei Yue, his face was a little uneasy, and on one side was Huizhen Daoist.
At this moment, this fat Taoist priest was talking to some strangers in a hurry, saying that the Xuanzhen Temple was a royal Taoist temple, and he broke in like this, is there no rule? His voice was very high, and the people he didn't accuse were all silent, mostly laughing, and they were wearing soapy clothes and black trousers, and black boots under their feet, and there were seven or eight people in all, three of whom wore white capes and white hats on their heads.
This is the standard dress for the six doors.
Du Rui knew the six doors.
Six Doors is a department of the Criminal Department of the Tang Empire, in Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an City, there are branches in the state capitals and county offices in various places, and the Six Doors are like the police of the world where Du Rui is located, on the one hand, they are managed by the headquarters above, and on the other hand, they have to obey the orders of the local leader.
Not all police officers have six doors, just as not all police officers are criminal police.
The servants also wore soapy clothes and black trousers, but they could not wear white cloaks or white high hats.
In other words, three of these people came from Six Doors.
When he came to the grass hall, the leader saw Du Rui at a glance, and he stopped and glanced at Wei Yue on the side, only to see Wei Yue walking up to Du Rui and bowing solemnly, and said softly.
"Shaojun, the heads of the six doors of Wannian County ask to see ......"
Zhu Fang is the leader, in his early forties, tall and thin, with a smooth jaw, a mustache on his lips, thin lips, a hooked nose, a pair of eyes sunken in the sockets, thick eyebrows, and strange and sympathetic eyes.
He took a step forward, bowed, and smiled.
"Your nobles are well, wishful and auspicious!"
In the Tang Dynasty of Du Rui's time and space, kneeling was not popular, and in this world, even more so, even if Du Rui was a royal family and had a high status, he would not kneel and salute, even if it was Yingzong and Empress Guo, they would only accept kneeling when there was a big ceremony.
Under normal circumstances, even as a prince, Du Rui should return the gift.
Even if the imperial power is not declining now, public officials like Zhu Fang, under normal circumstances, even if they are princes, should return the favor, especially those princes who are open-minded and thoughtful.
Corporal Lixian is a necessary element for every person in a high position.
No matter how disgusted he was with the person in front of him, the necessary gesture was still put on.
It's a pity that Du Rui can't take this path.
Now, he's still a natural idiot.
Therefore, he did not return the salute, and his movements to get up were not respectful, and he was still lying on the chaise longue, it seems, not only did he not hear the greetings from all sides, but even this group of people could not be put in his eyes.
Zhu Fang gritted his teeth, a little embarrassed.
If you want to sit firmly in the position of the head of the six doors of Wannian County, you naturally need some skills, but what is more important than the ability is the background and backer, without the background and backer, no matter who you are, you can't sit in this position.
Not only the six gates, but also any location in this Chang'an City.
All parties can sit firmly in this position, which is naturally related, and it connects the line of heaven and earth.
He knew about the existence of Handan-kun.
He wouldn't have come here if he could.
However, he had no choice.
A few days ago, an assassin assassinated Xue Zhuo, the envoy of Jiannan Province, on the Tianjin Bridge, Xue Zhuo was a person from the Shence Army, and he was not all the way to Zhufang, however, who told him to die in the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and now, even the body has not been found.
Of course, the matter was so big that even the Six Doors Headquarters couldn't call the shots, Jin Wuwei, Shen Ce Army, Six Doors and other departments took action to search for the murderer, and soon, they had some clues.
Among them, Handan Jun is the most important clue.
The assassin was assassinated in broad daylight, and many people witnessed the whole incident in full view, and these insiders were found, and based on their statements, Handan Jun Du Rui also appeared in the report.
They knew that Xue Zhuo had taken Handan Jun as a hostage when he was desperate.
also knew that it was Handan Jun who stabbed Xue Zhuo with a sword at the last moment and killed Xue Zhuo.
Of course, they also knew that Du Rui had been kidnapped by the assassin and disappeared for a day before returning to the Xuanzhen Temple.
Three days ago, whether it was the Six Gates, Jin Wuwei, and the Shence Army all knew about this matter, however, none of the departments came to Xuanzhen Temple to question Du Rui, the matter involved the prince, even if it was the prince who was banished from the court today, it was not a simple matter.
Now, the parties have appeared.
He also understands that he is a river crosser!
It's not easy to cross the river!
However, he firmly believes that after crossing this river, it is a flat river.
