Chapter 767: Returning Home
The road was safe, and there was no evil, and the speed of several horses involuntarily increased, as if it was because of the previous fright, the speed was much faster.
The old monk and Master Zhang chatted, but they only avoided talking about Mu Ming's affairs.
When resting on the way, the old monk always stared at Mu Ming, as if he wanted to see something, but in the end he was blinded by Mrs. Zhang.
Mu Ming only felt that the old monk was inexplicable, because sometimes he would secretly ask some strange questions about Mu Ming, such as whether there would be other scriptures to talk about, when Mu Ming shook his head, he asked Mu Ming to write the ghost scriptures, and the strange thing was that Mu Ming forgot the scriptures, and even asked why he took such a strange name as "talking about ghosts", which was only recited later, but now it seems to have forgotten.
In this regard, the monk is extremely sorry, and always feels that he has missed a great opportunity, after all, it is a legendary scripture, only the land of the West Buddha exists, and the monk is afraid to reach there for the rest of his life!
The speed of the carriage and horses slowed down, and the elder was just solemn, because he was about to approach the imperial capital!
At this time, a few people were on a plain, where there were no trees, only flat land, and at the front was the imperial capital!
"The so-called imperial capital, it is better to say that this is the real god kingdom, the real trunk, and the other places are the branches!"
Master Zhang exhaled lightly and said: "There are eight royal families here and the Xuanyuan Emperor Clan! The eight great clans are gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder and snow, and above is the Xuanyuan Emperor clan, nominally so, now, the Mu clan is dominant, faintly overpowering the Xuanyuan clan, at least before I left, but now it shouldn't be much worse!"
The elder saw that Mu Ming was a little dazed, so he said, " You don't know about these, it has nothing to do with us, our Zhang family belongs to the domain of the snow in the fiefdom of the eight emperor clans, but even if the relationship with the Zhang family was broken off when my father was driven out, now it is considered to be under the Tai Academy, by the way, the Tai Academy is an academy opened up by the Xuanyuan Emperor clan, in which the elite children of the beckoning various imperial families are all accomplished geniuses in a certain field, and there are also some family disciples in the major families, but these people have abandoned the concept of family and devoted themselves to the governance of this country. ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhang gently approached the elder and pulled up his arm, which was regarded as encouragement, and Mr. Zhang smiled, so he didn't say more, but got into the carriage and walked in a certain direction.
The Snow Clan, among the eight royal families, ranks last, after all, there are not many people who can practice the power of ice and snow, even within the Snow Clan, there are only a few people who can practice this power, but even so, the Snow Clan still dominates many families, and these families are formed together to strengthen the Snow Clan.
The territory of the Snow Clan does not have the feeling of ice and snow, and the sun is shining, but the weather is much cooler.
It is extremely rich here, and Long County is simply a world of difference, the official roads are vertical and horizontal, the frames come and go in an endless stream, and the pedestrians are the same, and the strange thing is that there are obviously a large number of monks, but they can't fly across the void, everyone here is like mortals, can only move forward step by step, of course, there are exceptions, but those people come without a trace, ordinary people are rare to see.
Master Zhang handed over the paperwork and gave it to Lu Yin, and then took out his official seal and handed it to a monk guarding the city, who clenched his fists and was a little surprised, but then walked into the formation at the edge of the city and disappeared.
And Master Zhang was also waiting, and he didn't panic, just watched this huge city flickering with glow, and there was some nostalgia, which was no different from when he left, but he had changed a lot.
After a while, Na Xiu walked out of the magic circle, then bowed respectfully, and said, "Master Zhang comes with me, Your Majesty Xuanyuan, I want to meet you!"
Master Zhang was surprised, his face was a little shocked, but then he calmed down, hugged his fists and said, "Youlao! But can you wait a while and let my family settle down first?"
The monk looked embarrassed, and then said, "If the master is relieved, how about the little one do it for you?"
"It's so good, I'm sorry, I'm so tired!"
The elder had already given up his hand, and the monk hurriedly returned the salute.
Mu Ming looked at this scene, a little strange, but Mrs. Zhang said softly: "The governing party who understands here is the one who controls the authority, unless the cultivation is enough, otherwise ......"
The old monk also nodded silently, but he had heard of this.
Then the monk who guarded the city personally drove the carriage, guided by Madame Zhang, and then drove the horses!
Master Zhang waved at a few people, and then walked into the magic circle, and there were a few monks guarding him, after all, he was not a monk, and he might not be suitable for teleportation.
The carriage walked on the official road, and there was no sense of crowding, the official road was very wide, enough for more than ten carriages to accompany him, and the monk said: "I didn't expect that Master Zhang was still a disciple of the Tai Academy, it was really disrespectful!"
Mrs. Zhang said: "It's not enough to worry about it, but you worked hard to defend the city!"
The monk hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be it, but it's good to come back now, there is a war outside, a lot of land has fallen, and those who are officials outside have run back, but Master Zhang has returned because of his merits, which is really rare!"
"Is there a war?" I don't know how the war is going?" said Mrs. Zhang.
The monk shook his head, "Not optimistic!"
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "The three major sects have fallen, and the ten major cities on the border of the Divine Kingdom have also been captured, and now the imperial capital is overcrowded, and there are not many monks and ordinary people who enter every day among the eight great emperor clans, if there is nothing else to do recently, the lord and the lady try to go out as much as possible, and those who come in outside do not understand the rules, steal and rob a lot, and the government officials catch and kill, but it is still very chaotic!"
"Is it so serious, the imperial capital doesn't hide it, but it's okay, everyone will be vigilant...... Thank you for reminding me, I thought it was so clean to come here, it seems that I thought too much!" Mrs. Zhang sighed, and then looked at the bustling markets around her, which seemed to be much more lively than before.
"The territory of the Snow Clan is better, the Snow Clan is more exclusive of foreign races, so the number of people here is smaller, unlike other big clans, I don't know how many families are divided outside, there is chaos there, and I heard that there are already many disciples of the Wood Clan who have died mysteriously in the territory of the Wood Clan, and all their blood has been drained away!"
The old monk asked, "Does the donor have something to say?"
The monk said, "You'd better not go out, there have been a number of monks who have been killed for no reason recently!"
The monk was puzzled, so he said, "Why?"
The monk said: "Because this time the Xifo clan and the barbarian Wu clan invaded Dongsheng together, although you are the children of the local Buddhism sect and have little to do with them, someone must find a reason to clean you up...... I heard that there were angry Buddhas on the front line who killed many local disciples, and the blood flowed like a river!"
The old monk was speechless, a little resentful and helpless, "Amitabha...... Sins, sins, sins!"
The carriage stopped in a mountain range, and the monk pointed to a school palace in the distance, and said: "There is the Tai Academy, this is the Pure Land, even a monk can't easily break into here, I'm here for the second time, if there is no guide, I can't enter this place, I heard that there are sages preaching here, it is of great benefit to our practice!"
The monk looked into the distance, but he was at a loss, but Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "It's hard work, the previous courtyard should still be there, the master is an official after all, they have no possibility of taking it back, the seniors might as well go in and have a cup of tea and sit down, and wait for the master to come back and thank you......"
The monk said: "Where the duty lies, I don't dare to take credit, so I will leave......"
"I'll take you in the future, and I heard my father say that you can bring someone in to visit......" Ki Ming said, very fond of the monk.
The monk smiled, obviously didn't care too much, he knew this rule, but the people who could take people into the tour were all students of the Tai Academy, and although the officials were still students of the Tai Academy, they belonged to the imperial court, and they generally did not enter the Tai Academy again to avoid the suspicion of forming a party in it.
Watching the monk leave, Mrs. Zhang asked Mu Ming and the old monk to walk forward with a few horses.
Mu Ming also looked, but saw a courtyard in the distance, which looked a little old, but with a sense of time.
"The poor monk is bothered!" the monk smiled unceremoniously.
Mrs. Zhang said: "You can not bother, and then turn around and be beaten to death......"
The monk immediately shut up, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Kina, on the other hand, held back a smile and was happy to see Kazuto like this.
