Chapter 34: Daomen Surrender
The next day, the sky was not yet bright, and the sky was only a little fish-white.
At this time, even the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty had not yet begun to officially go to court. As for the Li people, they mostly lie on comfortable beds. After all, in ancient times when lighting was inconvenient, even the famous gentry would not waste unnecessary candles and lamps too much.
It's just that at such a silent time, the state guesthouse where the Great Song Dynasty received VIPs was already full of people.
Most of them were dressed in various colored robes, and they all looked like old immortals with immortal wind and bones, exuding a dusty breath. But now, the old gods in the eyes of everyone looked a little unnatural, with a little excitement and uneasiness in their eyes, and they stood in front of the state guest house at a loss.
When Zhang Tianshi came to the front of the State Guesthouse, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on his face when he saw such a scene.
"Heavenly Master." Someone saw Zhang Tianshi coming, and hurriedly bowed.
Zhang Tianshi answered, with a look of hesitation on his face, and asked, "You came early, but why didn't you go in?" ”
"The Heavenly Master said with a smile, it's still early, where are we embarrassed to disturb the real person." Someone coughed lightly, with a faint embarrassment on his face, and said softly.
After seeing last night's scene, Mo Chen seemed to have become a fairy-like existence in their eyes. In the face of such an incomprehensible great existence, how dare they be too rude.
Even if it's just a very small possibility, no one wants to risk their lives.
Zhang Tianshi looked at everyone's cautious expressions, and really didn't know what to say.
He coughed lightly and looked at the closed door of the state guesthouse in front of him, but after all, he still did not choose to risk his life. This kind of stupid thing, whoever likes to do it, this Heavenly Master doesn't have that interest.
Time passed slowly, and a blush gradually rose in the east, like a shy girl, quite seductive.
As the sky brightened, the streets gradually became crowded with pedestrians.
The pedestrians on the road looked at the leaders in front of the State Guesthouse and couldn't help but look a little stunned.
What's going on?
"How can there be so many Taoist chiefs in front of the State Guesthouse, is something happening?"
"Hey, isn't that Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain?"
"That's the Fang Palm Sect of the Maoshan Sect?"
As one Taoist master after another was recognized, everyone became more and more curious. What happened to bring so many Taoist masters here?
"It's really strange, these are all Taoist real people who are rarely seen on weekdays, why are they gathered in the State Guesthouse now."
"When I heard that Mo Zhenren was coming, I was arranged in the state guesthouse. Could it be that they want to meet Mo Zhenren? Ha ha. ”
The man laughed himself.
Meet Mo Zhenren, how is it possible!
Although Mo Zhenren is famous, which of the grandmasters present is not a leader in Taoism, a world-famous Taoist master. To say that there are one or two people who meet Mo Zhenren, it is reasonable, but among them are Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and Fang Zhangjiao of the Maoshan faction.
What kind of characters are those two, they are the leaders of Taoism in the world!
But he smiled, and his face gradually stiffened.
If they weren't meeting Mo Zhenren, what else could they do?
"Speaking of which, look at the dew on their bodies, but I've been waiting for a while."
"Is it really to meet Mo Zhenren?"
"Nine times out of ten, it is said that Mo Zhenren is a fairy god, and now it seems that this is really the case."
"Yes, if it weren't for the immortal gods descending to earth, how could these Taoist masters, who are rarely seen on weekdays, wait here respectfully."
Amid the discussion of passers-by, the door of the State Guesthouse finally opened slowly.
When everyone saw the door open, they exhaled. Although they are good at cultivating qi and kung fu, anyone who is watched by others like juggling monkeys will not be in a good mood, not to mention that everyone is also famous in the world.
It's just that although the courtyard door is open, it is not the person who comes out of the crowd.
The man was dressed in a large purple ornate robe, looking to be in his forties, and his long goat whiskers fluttered between the walks, and he looked quite temperamental.
He opened the door of the courtyard and said, "Zhao Zhijing, the poor Dao is true, I have seen all the grandmasters. The intention of the grandmasters, the senior brothers, is already fully understood. It's just that Senior Brother has a saying, if you want to ask questions, you need to answer three questions. ”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Answering just three questions, is it so easy?
Zhao Zhijing looked at everyone's silent expressions, swallowed his saliva secretly, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
Here is a gathering of most of the Taoist masters in the world, and the senior brother is so arrogant, what if he provokes the anger of the public. At that time, I am afraid that the Quanzhen Sect will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the world.
Just when Zhao Zhijing was uneasy about something, Zhang Tianshi and Fang Zhangjiao glanced at each other, stood up from the crowd, and said, "Since it is Mo Zhenren's rules, we have no reason to refute it. It's just that I don't know what problems Mo Zhenren left behind, can Daochang Zhao tell us conveniently. ”
Zhao Zhijing looked at the respectful Zhang Tianshi, and the Maoshan Sect Leader beside him, and was a little unable to come back to his senses for a while.
They weren't angry?
Zhao Zhijing's eyes were distracted, and he couldn't come back to his senses.
"Heavenly Master is polite, these are all things that the poor Dao should do." Zhao Zhijing was stunned for two breaths, and finally came back to his senses. He hurriedly returned the salute and responded politely.
Zhao Zhijing said, without the slightest pause, and said, "Senior brother has three questions. Question 1: Why do you practice the Tao? The second question: What is the meaning of the word Tao? As for this third question. ”
When Zhao Zhijing said this, his face showed hesitation, and he muttered for a while, but he never spoke.
Everyone was thinking about the answer to the question in their hearts, but when they saw that Zhao Zhijing was silent for a long time, they suddenly became anxious. Zhang Tianshi coughed lightly and said, "Daochang Zhao has encountered difficulties, if there is any problem, you can raise it." ”
Zhao Zhijing licked his dry lips, his face showed a look of helplessness, and he said in a slurred manner: "This, it's really not that Poor Dao deliberately embarrassed you. Senior Brother's third question is: Do you know what you are doing wrong? ”
After Zhao Zhijing finished speaking, fine cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
Senior brother is so bold that he dares to question these Taoist masters in public, is he simply playing with fire. If they get angry, things won't be cleaned up.
Zhao Zhijing was uneasy in his heart, and said hesitantly: "Senior brother said, give you three days to consider the answer to your question. In three days, the Senior Brother will be waiting for you here. ”
When everyone heard this, they nodded disapprovingly, ignoring Zhao Zhijing's uneasy look, frowning and slowly leaving.
At the same time, the Royal Palace.
Song Lizong's eyes stared at the sky tightly, and his face was as gloomy as water.
Behind him, a middle-aged man dressed in military general's costume trembled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "According to Wei Chen's investigation, there are twenty-six temples involved in the assassination of Beimeng!" ”
"Yes, that's good. Those damn bald asses can't wait for me to die now! Song Lizong was short of breath, his face turned red with anger, and he couldn't help but roar loudly.
