Chapter 273: A Visitor
In the far north, there was a larger team of chariots and horses, slowly driving out of the capital.
Luo Jia, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, sat in a spacious carriage and looked with bated breath at the square-faced man in green robe beside him.
The person in front of him, in just a few years, has successfully entered the Inspectorate from a white body, and has changed from a small seven-grade inspector Yushi to a half-short inspector of the Imperial Palace, and it is really not to be taken lightly when dealing with such a person.
"Lord Zhao, there are a lot of people on our trip, I'm afraid this speed can't be raised."
The blue-robed man who closed his eyes and recuperated opened his eyes when he heard this, and nodded slightly at Luo Jia.
"There's no hurry, it's just the right time."
What does it mean to be just right?
Is it just right to celebrate the New Year on the road? Or is it just right to go back to Beijing after the beginning of spring?
Luo Jia felt a little incomprehensible, but the other party closed his eyes again, obviously not wanting to say more.
Luo Jia didn't want to ask, so he had to give up.
Well, anyway, he didn't specifically inform him when the Holy Decree was given, he was later pulled over by Zhuangding, after all, such a major event, it is really unreasonable to come forward without someone from the Ministry of Rites.
It's just that the saint's recent behavior is really abnormal.
First of all, on the day of the Laba Festival, he had to go to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens, and then he didn't go to the court for several days, and he would only see Master Duan and the Lord Zhao in front of him.
This Du Yushi was deeply valued by the Holy Master because he had been to Taihe Mountain before, so this task naturally fell to him.
And this Lord Zhao is Zhao Chou, who was the first to remove the tumor of Lu Bingsheng and the Chen family as the patrol of the imperial historian for Wen Yun and several people.
This time, in addition to the guards specially dispatched by the emperor, there were some accompanying officials, and Zhao Chou did not bring anyone else.
The gray-clothed man who had followed him earlier could not be seen at this time.
I think it's because the imperial court has sent enough people, so Zhao Chou didn't bring his personal guard.
"Lord Zhao, do you say that the Qing Palace of Jiuxiao will agree to our request?"
After being silent for a while, Luo Jia finally couldn't help but ask again.
He naturally had his own carriage, but when he set off, he still had the cheekiness to get into Zhao Chou's carriage.
It was because he had no idea what he was doing in his heart.
For an inexplicable person, an inexplicable will was made, and a luxurious convoy was solemnly dispatched to meet him, why is this?
It is rumored in the court that there was a divine manifestation to give instructions at the ceremony of sacrificing to heaven that day, so the saint issued such a decree.
In a hurry, he sent so many people all the way to Jintan.
However, no one can guarantee that the trip will be smooth.
Because no one had communicated beforehand.
However, that Heavenly Master tried his best to vouch for this matter, and the Holy Lord favored Duan Heavenly Master so much, so he naturally made this decision.
Luo Jia thought about the increasingly bloodless face of the saint, thought of the treacherous clouds hidden between several princes, and thought about the mysterious origin of Duan Tianshi and the vague attitude of Qin Tianjian, and sighed secretly.
Whether it is a trip or not, I am afraid that the situation in Beijing will begin to change.
Jintan County, Taihe Mountain, Jiuxiao Shangqing Palace.
Chasing Xia Peak, nine-story platform.
Yun Nianchu was wearing light clothes fluttering, obviously it was a cold winter wax moon, obviously on this peak that was a little colder than the foot of the mountain, Yun Nianchu's clothes were light, as if he didn't feel the slightest cold, and sat in front of the stage.
Opposite her was Ling Xuzi, a white-clothed and white-haired Taoist.
He was actually very old, so old that he couldn't tell how old he was, so old that his hair was snow-white.
But he didn't seem to be so old, his face was ruddy, his face was smooth, and he couldn't find a trace of wind and frost, and his eyes exuded a deep light, like a vast wave of smoke, indifferent but distant.
Yun Nianchu was surrounded by Yun Fan with sword eyebrows. At this time, the two brothers and sisters were listening to the sermon of the master Ling Xuzi.
Although there is a big gap between the two disciples' cultivation, their understanding of the Dao is almost the same, and the two can still have a profound discussion on some Heavenly Dao principles from time to time.
Therefore, Ling Xuzi preached to the two of them at the same time.
There is no such thing as teaching students according to their aptitude.
Whether and how much you can understand depends on your personal qualifications.
After today's Taoism was finished, Yun Nianchu and Yun Fan bowed to Ling Xuzi and prepared to retreat.
Ling Xuzi suddenly stopped Yun Nianchu.
Yun Nianchu and Yun Fan nodded, and left alone.
"Your body is full of vitality, and if you have one more point, there is a possibility of overflowing, I think it has reached the critical juncture of promotion, why don't you break through?"
Yun Nianchu was stunned, it hadn't been long since she broke through the third grade last time, and in just a few months, she broke through the third grade and promoted to the fourth grade, no matter how good her talent was, she might not be able to do it.
"I don't think the time has come."
Ling Xuzi nodded, and did not ask any more questions, for him, a closed disciple, he had always been extremely relieved.
"In that case, you will continue to cultivate diligently."
Yun Nianchu replied "yes" with his head bowed.
"Go down."
As he spoke, Ling Xuzi suddenly moved his eyebrows, and glanced at Yun Nianchu meaninglessly.
"There is a guest coming to the door, you are so entertained."
Yun Nianchu didn't ask Ling Xuzi who the so-called "guest" was, he only stood up respectfully, and bowed to Ling Xuzi before retreating from the high platform.
When Yun Nianchu came to the front of the Bao Xuan Hall from the nine-story platform, he saw a young Taoist boy in Tsing Yi leading a female doll from the bottom of the mountain.
"Natsu-chan?"
Yun Nianchu didn't expect to see Yu Xia on Taihe Mountain, and he was a little stunned for a while, and Yu Xia couldn't help but chuckle out loud when he saw that slightly silly appearance.
Sending Wen Yun away, she thought that the New Year was coming soon, since she was already in the county seat, it was better to go to Taihe Mountain not far away to visit Yun Nianchu, since the last time they separated, the two had not seen each other for a long time.
So she invited Lu Liang and sent herself over.
Before the arrival of the new county commander, the person in charge of Jintan County is Cao Mao, he is now in power, and the servants are also at his disposal, plus he thought that Yu Xia was the "nobleman" he was destined to help him soar, and of course there was no disapproval of Yu Xia's request.
So Yu Xia was driven by Lu Liang and came to the foot of Taihe Mountain.
Originally, she didn't come up so easily, after all, Wen Yun went up the mountain to ask for a meeting before, and it didn't go well.
So she took out the Dingkun plate that Yun Nianchu had given her earlier and showed it to the Dao Tong.
The people of their Nine Heavens Qing Palace could naturally recognize that the Dingkun Plate was from Yun Fan's hand, and the number was very rare, and only inner disciples who were close to each other or had superior qualifications could have one side.
Yu Xia took out such a treasure, which was enough to prove his identity.
Although she felt that Yu Xia was alive, she was holding a Dingkun plate in her hand, and the person she asked to see was the closed disciple of Ling Xuzi Zhenren, and there was really nothing suspicious about it.
So Yu Xia was taken to Chasing Xia Peak by that Tong and saw Yun Nianchu directly.
