Chapter 468: No Peace in the World (8)

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, has a total of six water gates, which is the necessary place to connect the canals inside and outside the city.

Among them, the Luoshui Water Gate belongs to the military's special water gate, which is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Luoyang Order, and belongs to the left and right Jinwuwei guards.

Every day, there are ships coming in and out of the Luoshui Water Gate, but all of them are military vessels.

These ships carry various items such as baggage in and out of Luoyang, and there is no time limit. During the day, Luoshui is mainly commercial, but at night, it is basically controlled by the ships belonging to Jin Wuwei.

After the hour, it began to rain lightly.

Yang Shouwen sat on the boat, and saw that after Shen Qingzhi commanded the ship to blend into the team of the military ship, he came to the water gate unconsciously. Shen Qingzhi made a gesture to the guards guarding the water gate, and the guards immediately opened the gate and let them go.

There wasn't even any verbal exchange between the two sides, everything was in that gesture.

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, but he didn't speak.

He sat on the boat and sailed out of Luoyang City along Luoshui, and after traveling about three or five miles, he saw someone on the shore holding a torch and shaking.

"Dock, dock!"

Shen Qingzhi hurriedly asked the boatman to dock, then turned his head and said, "Childe, we're here." ”

Yang Shouwen nodded, got up and jumped onto the riverbank.

On the shore, two black-clothed men were waiting with their horses, and when they saw Yang Shouwen coming ashore, they hurriedly stepped forward.

"Go back and tell Daddy, don't worry about me."

Yang Shouwen recognized those two people, who were the Jianghu people he had arrived from Cheung Chau.

In the battle of Bajiao Mountain, only four of the thirteen Jianghu people survived, but they all followed Yang Shouwen and entered Tongma Mo.

The two nodded, "Take care, Childe." ”

Yang Shouwen didn't talk nonsense anymore, took the horse to move the saddle and recognize the stirrup, straddled the horse, and then turned the horse's head and walked away.

The two Jianghu people did not stay, and they got on their horses and left.

But. Shen Qingzhi, who was on the boat, felt a sigh in his heart for no reason.

He seemed to think of who the person who had wrapped himself tightly was...... However, it feels a little unlikely. It stands to reason that he should be locked up in Dongcheng Prison! That's Dongcheng Prison! A serious royal edict, heavily guarded. But if it's not him? Why do I feel so familiar? Definitely that person!

Shen Qingzhi thought of this. Suddenly, his face changed drastically.

If it's really that person...... Shen Qingzhi suddenly had a feeling that a 'catastrophe was coming', and his face turned pale.

"Go back, go back immediately!"

He shouted at the boatman, who gave him a strange look, though he did not understand why. But he still obediently rowed the oars and reversed the boat and headed in the direction of Luoyang. Standing at the bow of the ship, Shen Qingzhi looked at the dark night, and for some reason, his heart was cold. You have to go back and make arrangements right away, or you might be in real trouble!

The annoying autumn rain was not big, but it made people feel a little irritable.

Since it had been raining all day, the roads were a little muddy and became more difficult to walk in the dark.

Yang Shouwen's crotch is not a big gold. Just a Turkic horse.

It's not big, but the center of gravity is very stable, and the stamina is good.

Taiwei Palace, also known as Shangqing Palace, was built in the first year of Qianfeng, that is, in 666 AD.

According to legend, Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, was the person in charge of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Guarding Room and had been living in Luoyang City. In 520 BC, the Zhou Dynasty was in internal and external difficulties, and the books and classics in the storage room were secretly transported to the Chu State by the Wang Dynasty. The vassal states are getting stronger and stronger, and the Zhou Dynasty has long been in turmoil. Lao Tzu saw the decline of the Zhou Dynasty. And the books in the storage room are gone, and he, the Tibetan officer, is equivalent to losing his job...... So, he moved out of Luoyang and made alchemy on the Cuiyun Peak in Beibi Mountain. From then on, he no longer asked about the affairs of the court, and devoted himself to seeking the Tao and looking for the art of immortality.

Later, Lao Tzu realized the Tao and decided to go west to Hangu.

So, he came to Cuiyun Valley. Bring the green cow that is grazing.

Seeing that he was about to leave Cuiyun Valley, the green cow was reluctant, so he yelled at the west three times, which evolved into an allusion to the 'green cow roaring valley'.

As early as the Sui Dynasty, people have established Taoist temples on Cuiyun Peak to commemorate Lao Tzu.

Not only that, but they also built a Taoist temple under Cuiyun Peak, saying that it was the place where Lao Tzu tied his oxen back then......

Tang Gaozong posthumously honored Laozi Li Er as the Xuanyuan Emperor, has demonstrated his noble bloodline, so he ordered people to build and renovate the Taoist temple, and ordered the 'Shangqing Palace', also called the Laojun Temple. In order to show his respect for Lao Tzu, Emperor Gaozong also sent Guo Xingzhenren, the abbot of the Luoyang Dahong Taoist Temple at that time, to Maozhou, which was later known as Luyi, Henan, to pay tribute to Lao Tzu. After Guo Xingzhen returned to Luoyang, Emperor Gaozong once again decreed that the Shangqing Palace should be 'Taiwei Palace'.

This Cuiyun Peak, located about ten miles northwest of Shendu, is located in the Beibi Mountain, and is also the commanding height of the northern suburbs of Shendu.

Although the mountains here are not high, the terrain is steep.

The trees on the mountain are lush and green, so it has the name of 'Cuiyun'.

Because the Li Tang royal family respected Laozi Li Er as an ancestor, Taiwei Palace is, to a certain extent, a royal Taoist temple.

Even after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, his worship of Taiwei Palace has not been reduced, even better than before.

Yang Shouwen's horse galloped in the rainy night, and when he arrived outside the Beibi Mountain, he was already soaking wet.

He rolled over and dismounted, and drove the Turkic horse away.

"After entering the mountain, walk three miles, you can see a peak, which is Cuiyun Peak.

There is a Taoist temple under the peak, called the Qing Palace, also called the Green Cow Temple. To go up the mountain, you need to pass through the Qingniu Temple, go out from the back door of the Qingniu Temple, walk along the mountain road, about 365 steps, you can see the Taiwei Palace Mountain Gate. However, the mountain gate of Taiwei Palace is heavily guarded and will be guarded by Taoist priests...... Therefore, if Yang Jun wants to enter Taiwei Palace, he needs to bypass the mountain gate of Taiwei Palace and enter through the side door...... The guards there are not very strict, and it is easier to enter the palace. ”

Gao Lishi's words echoed in Yang Shouwen's ears.

For tonight's action, Colliers specially inquired about the situation in the Taiwei Palace.

Yang Shouwen silently recited Gao Lishi's words again, and then walked along the dark mountain road where he couldn't see his fingers.

The road is muddy and very difficult to walk.

Coupled with the drizzle, Yang Shouwen had to take off his robe and throw it on the side of the road.

Wet with rain, the robe was heavy.

After Yang Shouwen took off his robe, the oncoming mountain wind made him shudder and shiver.

He counted the time, and it was past the hour.

If this drags on any longer, I'm afraid there will be variables on the Luoyang side.

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ran up on the mountain road. It is also thanks to his great toad qi training, although he can't achieve the realm of white in the void, but his body is flexible, so although the road is dark, it doesn't bring him too much trouble.

In the distance, I saw a mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a Taoist temple, which looks quite large.

That is the Qingniu Temple, also called the Qing Palace. (To be continued.) )
