At night, countless people gathered in the Wei Mansion, and the holy decree was handed down, and Wei Qiao was awarded the second class viscount, and he was given a goldfish bag and a silver belt, and he entered the court to participate in politics. Similarly, his marriage to Wu Qingning was also decided, and on the third day after the palace examination, he took the meaning of double happiness.

At the same time, the results of the court meeting also came out, and the rumors were about the same, the six departments had Shangshu, and the other yamen were basically replaced, and it was rumored that the king of Jin had suffered heavy losses this time, and the palace also spread the news in due course to establish a clan yamen and appoint the king of Jin as the Zongzheng.

For a while, there were rumors in the market, and there were various versions. Among them, Emperor Wenzheng is not far away, paving the way for the crown prince is the most prosperous.

Wei Qiao didn't pay attention to it so much, he was drunk that night, and the next day he started to visit people non-stop, accepting visits from others, and he didn't live in peace for a few days.

"Young master, get up quickly, the sun is going down." Xiangling stood in front of Wei Qiao's bed, pulled Wei Qiao's arm vigorously, and shouted coquettishly. This is the fifth day after the end of the big exam, and tomorrow is the palace exam.

Wei Qiao snorted weakly and turned his head inside. In the past few days, he has been tired enough, and he was invited by a few people yesterday, and he really drank a lot of wine, and now he is too lazy to move a finger.

Xiangling saw that Wei Qiao couldn't get up, so she climbed onto the bed and pulled Wei Qiao's other arm, and said urgently: "Young master, you said that you were going to call you up today no matter what......"

Wei Qiao's eyelids moved, and he said with a sleepy face: "I'll sleep for a while......"

"No, it's too late if you don't get up, and I'll have to test it tomorrow." The little girl pulled Wei Qiao's arm and didn't let go.

Wei Qiao turned his head again, and muttered with a sleepy face: "I won't go to the palace test, anyway, I don't want to be the champion......"

The little girl couldn't pull it, so she jumped out of bed angrily, picked Wei Qiao's eyelids and said, "Young Master, get up quickly, otherwise Master Yinkong won't be able to find it if he leaves......"

The little girl tried countless methods, and finally wiped away Wei Qiao's sleepiness.

Wei Qiao rubbed on the bed helplessly for a long time, and knew that Master Yinkong's appointment could not be delayed, so he reluctantly got up.

After washing up, Wei Qiao walked directly to the door. Xu Mao had already prepared the sedan chair, and when he saw Wei Qiao coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young master, the sedan chair is ready." ”

Wei Qiao nodded with a yawn and said, "Well, walk slowly, I'll squint for a while." ”

"Ao" Xu Mao agreed, commanded the sedan chair man, and walked towards the Yunfo Temple in the western suburbs.

Wei Qiao sat in the sedan chair, staggering and drowsy, lazy for too long, and he had been busy enough recently.

"Young master, the Cloud Buddha Temple has arrived." Wei Qiao was swaying in a daze, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and Xu Mao lifted the curtain and said.

Wei Qiao gritted his teeth and shrugged his throat, 'oh', rubbed his sleepy-eyed cheeks, and walked out.

Looking up at the Cloud Buddha Temple not far away, Wei Qiao stretched his waist and yawned to Liantiandao: "You guys are waiting for me here, I'll come out after a while." After speaking, he walked towards the Cloud Buddha Temple.

Wei Qiao walked through the Big Buddha and into the backyard, then looked at the door of the host's room open, and walked over quickly.

"Huayi Buddha is not so special, see the book eyes open.

Entering the temple to find Buddhism, there is nowhere to find transcendence. ”

Wei Qiao walked to the door, and there was an old but confident voice from the master of Yinkong.

Wei Qiao rubbed his cheeks again, smiled indifferently, stepped in, and said, "Master, do you still want to be detached?" ”

In front of Master Yinkong, there was an endgame, and the whole person stared intently at the chessboard, as if he was contemplating something.

Master Yinkong looked up at Wei Qiao, smiled, and said, "Being in the red dust, who can be transcendent?" The old monk made tea here, and the Lord Wei tasted it? ”

Wei Qiao sat down opposite him with a smile, while picking up the tea, staring at the chess game, his eyes were full of dust, and said, "Master, this game is interesting, who are you playing with?" ”

Master Yinkong held the Buddha beads in his hand and said with emotion: "An old friend who has been dead for many years. ”

Wei Qiao nodded, looked at the chess game again, and after a long time, shook his head and said: "This game of chess itself is a dead game, unless you can mess up the chess game and look for a chance to win in the chaos." ”

Master Yinkong nodded with a smile and said approvingly: "Master Wei Shi really has a unique vision, yes, the old friend of the year also said before he died that this game of chess is a dead game, it depends on whether the person who plays chess can make up his mind." ”

Wei Qiao looked at the thick dust on this game of chess, tried it with his hand, looked at the ash on his hand, and said: "In fact, if you make up your mind, the victory or defeat is also between the two, and the master has not made up his mind for so many years?" ”

Master Yinkong shook his head lightly and said, "The person who plays chess is no longer an old monk, so what if he makes up his mind?" ”

Wei Qiao looked at Master Yinkong with some curiosity, and always felt that he was witty in his words, as if he wanted to express something, but he was always cloudy and foggy, and it was unclear.

Master Yinkong seemed to see what Wei Qiao was thinking, and said with a smile: "It's hard to find yourself in life, and the old monk is fortunate to get acquainted with someone, so he naturally cherishes it very much." If you don't say that you will leave, you may not return to Jinling in this life. Some things wanted to be put on the shelf, but they felt a pity, so the old monk specially wanted to give them to Lord Wei. ”

Wei Qiao smiled indifferently and said, "Given by the master, the disciple should naturally treasure it carefully." He knew that today would certainly not be that simple, and he was eager to see what the Indoku Master would send him.

Master Yinkong smiled and said, "This old monk is relieved. After speaking, he turned around and took a burden beside him, and then opened it in front of Wei Qiao.

"The old monk's old friend is also an elegant man, here is a collection of poems he wrote, a scepter used, and a set of clothes that he fell in the temple when he was wet." Master Yinkong introduced them one by one, and then handed the package to Wei Qiao.

Wei Qiao looked a little puzzled, took it, picked up the book of poems, opened it, and saw that the title page read: Jishuishan people, Zhou Xingge.

Wei Qiao frowned slightly, this name seemed to be a little impressive, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Immediately, he picked up the scepter again, and the place where he held it was carved with a jade bracelet, which was very gorgeous, and the words 'Jishui' were engraved on his head. Wei Qiao still couldn't see the clue, picked up the clothes again, and looked at them carefully, this kind of fabric is extremely rare, and it is not affordable for ordinary people.

But that's right, how can Master Yinkong's old friend be an ordinary person, Wei Qiao put the things away, and said with a smile: "Master, that's all, nothing else?" ”

Originally, it was just a casual joke, but I didn't want Master Yinkong to smile and nod his head, "Yes." ”

Wei Qiao stared at him curiously.

Master Yinkong smiled and took out an extremely special black jade iron plate from his arms, touched it with a somewhat complicated expression, and said: "This is a gold medal for avoiding death, and a great sin can also save the surname." As he spoke, he sighed with a melancholy face and stretched out his hand to Wei Qiao.

Wei Qiao was stunned, but he didn't dare to take it. He has been here for many years, but it is the first time he has heard of such a thing as a gold medal for avoiding death. This kind of thing can't be obtained without the state's great merit, but I didn't expect Master Yinkong to have this kind of thing in his hands. He looked at Master Insky in surprise, and he had to reevaluate Master Insky in his heart.

Seeing Wei Qiao's stunned expression, Master Yinkong smiled and said, "Take it, a dying person, it's useless to keep it." ”

Wei Qiao suddenly seemed to understand a little, and frowned slightly: "Master, but someone wants to kill your surname?" Listening to Master Yinkong's words, he always felt that he was explaining his last words, as if his life would not last long.

Master Yinkong smiled and put the gold medal in Wei Qiao's hand, and said, "The old monk is seventy and three this year, who will spend the effort to deal with a dying person?" The old monk is about to go away, and he has a lot of reluctance in his heart, and it is inevitable that he will feel a little melancholy, and the master of Wei Shi does not have to think about it. ”

Wei Qiao held the somewhat heavy black jade iron plate, and said with a hesitant expression: "If the master has any scruples, he can tell the disciple that the disciple has something to do with the martial family, and no one dares to be presumptuous in the army." ”

Master Yinkong understood what Wei Qiao meant, smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Master Wei Shi is kind to the old monk, the old monk still has a few places to go, and he has to leave today, otherwise with the old monk's old age, I will have to go to see the Buddha with regrets." ”

Wei Qiao saw that Master Yinkong had made up his mind, and it didn't seem like he was being coerced, so he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Master, the Jishuishan people are your old friends, right?" ”

Master Yinkong nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, his common surname is Zhou, but he is a rare good person, and he has a good relationship with the old monk. ”

Wei Qiao didn't know if this Mo Zhi was the Yinkong Master Mo Zhi, a Jishui Mountain man, or the Jishui Mountain Master Mo Yingkong, but both of them must be not young, and one of them had been dead for many years.

Wei Qiao looked at the burden on his legs, and said with a strange expression, "Master, you asked the disciple to come, just for these few things?" ”

Master Inkong smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

Although Wei Qiao knew what seemed to be hidden in his smile, he couldn't guess one or two for a while.

"Does the master need the help of his disciple?" Wei Qiao said again. He always felt that today was not simple, but nothing special had happened so far, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

Master Yinkong shook his head with a smile and said, "If Master Wei has something, the old monk will not stay long." ”

-- This is the eviction order.

Wei Qiao looked a little surprised, and asked, "Really not?" ”

Master Yinkong nodded and said, "The old monk still has something to explain to the temple, so Master Wei Shi will go down the mountain at this moment." ”

-- This is just a drive away.

Wei Qiao hesitated, stood up and said, "Then, the disciple has taken his leave." ”

Master Inkong stood up with a smile, as if he was going to send a send-off.

Although Wei Qiao was a little puzzled in his heart, he still didn't ask, and turned around and went out with his baggage.

When he walked to the door, Master Yinkong suddenly smiled and said, "Jinling has not been peaceful recently, so be careful on the road to Weishi." ”

Recently, the upper floor of Jinling has almost changed all over again, and the streets and alleys are full of worry, and at the same time, the various disturbances caused by it are also dizzying and terrifying.

Wei Qiao smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Master." So saying, he walked towards the side door from which he came. Since Master Yinkong didn't want to say more, it was useless for Wei Qiao to ask again, so he didn't ask anymore.

Master Yinkong looked at Wei Qiao's back, a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and turned to walk towards the inside of the temple.

Although Wei Qiaoren walked out, his heart was full of doubts. Today's events are not at all what he thought, prosaic, but full of weirdness.

"Young Master." Xu Mao looked at Wei Qiao's confused face, blinked and said.

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said, "Well, it's okay, let's go back." With that, he walked towards the sedan chair.

Today's events are full of strangeness, and Master Yinkong seems to have something to say, but he can't figure it out.

Xu Mao said 'oh' and greeted the sedan chair driver.

Wei Qiao held the burden in his arms, looked at it carefully, and then took out the book of poems, opened it and read it.

Wei Qiao carefully turned the pages one by one, most of the poems of the people who followed the water and mountains are written about the leisure of the landscape, or the worship of the Buddha, the handwriting is free, like the spring water flowing slowly, and the words are full of yearning.

"Zhou Xingge? Where do I seem to have heard this name? Wei Qiao closed the book of poems, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look. But for a long time, he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Forget it, let's go back and ask." Wei Qiao put down the poetry book and picked up the scepter again.

There is nothing special about the scepter at all, except for the intricately carved head that resembles an unknown beast.

"That's right, such an idle lover will not carve these things outside his body too much." Wei Qiao looked at it carefully, put the scepter down again, and picked up the garment.

There is nothing special about this dress, although the workmanship is fine, and not ordinary people can afford to wear it, but there are not 10,000 people in Jinling who can wear it, but there are also 8,000, not to mention that it has to be derived to the entire Daqi. Therefore, it is not possible to be elegant.

Wei Qiao put the things away and took out the black jade iron plate again. He couldn't tell what the material was at all about this piece of black jade, but there was a big word 'free' engraved on the front, and some patterns were carved on the back, and the others were not unusual.

"Death-free gold medal?" Wei Qiao's eyes exuded a strange light, and he couldn't help but get excited in his heart. With this thing, the Wei family will be rich enough for five generations in the future.

"Uh...... Ah......h

Wei Qiao was looking excited, and suddenly there were two screams of pain outside, and then the sedan chair shook violently.

Wei Qiao's expression changed slightly, he put one hand in his arms and lifted the curtain with the other.

But before he could see anything, a burst of smoke suddenly poured in, and he was about to hold his breath tightly, but there was a flutter in front of him. Before fainting, he vaguely saw several figures in black walking towards him.

"Boss, this Lord Wei is cautious enough." A black-clothed man took out Wei Qiao's hand that was deep into his arms, and touched his arms, daggers, short bows, and soft armor, almost all martial arts. I couldn't help but be surprised.

"Don't talk nonsense, find it quickly." The man standing behind the man in black snorted coldly with his eyes furrowed.

"yes, I know." The man in black standing at the door of the sedan chair immediately turned Wei Qiao's whole body over, shook off the poetry collection, knocked the scepter carefully, and searched the clothes inch by inch.
