The warm sunlight sprinkled on the street, leaving colorful shadows, and today is another good weather.

Yuan Xing took his apprentice through the city gate, perhaps infected by the lively atmosphere of the crowd, he took off the hat, showed the top of his head, felt the warmth brought by the sun, and was in a good mood.

Looking back at the little disciple, these days he has been fasting with his feet, and the other party has lost a lot of weight and his skin has darkened. However, this trip that went beyond plan paid off.

He could see that the arrogance of the little apprentice had diminished.

"I'll send you home for the teacher." Yuan Xing smiled at the apprentice, thought about it and ordered: "You are also tired these days, go home and rest for two days before going to the inn to find me." ”

"Yes." Hearing that she could go home, Hong Qingyao's mood suddenly rose a lot.

But before they could move forward for long, the little apprentice suddenly took a few steps forward, grabbed Yuanxing's sleeve, leaned over and whispered, "Master, there is a junior official on the opposite corner who has been watching you. ”

Yuan Xing still bowed his head, and said with a smile: "Let's leave it alone, just go our own." Naturally, he had already noticed that he was being watched, and with his eyesight, he could see the person's appearance clearly with a slight sweep, but he didn't want to be involved too much, so he didn't see it at all.

Unfortunately, there were some things that he could not have avoided if he wanted to.

The master and apprentice were about to blame this main road, and suddenly a voice came from behind them: "Master Yuanxing? ”

Yuan Xing turned his head helplessly, put his palms together, and said quietly on his face: "Amitabha, I've seen Lord Bai." ”

"I didn't expect to see Master Yuanxing here again, we are really fateful." The person who came came was holding a folding fan, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome demeanor. It's really Bai Jingcheng who had a relationship with one side before, and the monk deliberately avoided it.

It's only different today, he didn't dress up as a scholar, and he was wearing a cyan official uniform.

The "little official" in Hong Qingyao's mouth is the other party, looking at the heron painted on the complement, it should be a six-grade official, right? Yuan Xing couldn't help but glance at his apprentice.

"You two have just arrived in the capital?" Bai Jingcheng's gaze swept over Hong Qingyao, and he didn't stop, but looked at the fate of the wind and dust: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and everything is okay with the master?" His attitude was still as enthusiastic as he had met before. It's just that he mistook Hong Qingyao, who lowered his hat, for Shanming Xiaoshami.

But Yuanxing was just about to answer, but at this time there was a noise and scolding on the street, and following the reputation, I saw a group of errand soldiers running side by side, quickly separating the pedestrians on the street with water and fire sticks in their hands.

"This is ......" Yuan Xing couldn't help but wonder.

"When Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain enters the Beijing Saint, he naturally has to have some pomp." Bai Jingcheng unfolded the folding fan and replied slowly.

Fortunately, they were on the side of the street, and they took two steps back to get out of the way.

The rest of the people in the street seemed to be accustomed to this arrangement, and they were not unhappy, but they all stood aside and watched the excitement. For a while, my ears were full of discussions.

After a while, there was a sound of banging and banging in the distance, and two rows of Taoist priests walking side by side appeared, leading a huge sedan chair to slowly come.

"It's a big show." He had never seen such a grand scene.

"The last time Qingzhou Fushan faced the saint, the temples in Beijing all participated, which was much more grand than this." Bai Jingcheng hooked the corners of his mouth and sighed lightly: "The representatives of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism gathered in Beijing, this is not a year, it is also a grand event." Then he turned his head and smiled at Yuan Xing: "An old-fashioned and old-fashioned old Taoist priest, there is really nothing to look at, why don't we find a teahouse to get together?" ”

"Unfortunately, the poor monk has something to do, so he can't be accompanied." Yuan Xing frowned slightly, glanced at him, and replied in his mouth.

Bai Jingcheng saw that he still had a cold attitude towards himself who was thousands of miles away, and he had no intention of making friends, and the smile on his face was also shallow, and he nodded his chin slightly.

Yuan Xing didn't look at him again, and said to his apprentice: "I'll send you home." Then he led Hong Qingyao away.

Bai Jingcheng looked at his departing back, sneered after a long time, and then turned his attention to the yellow sedan chair passing by on the street, his eyes shining brightly.

There are people watching the excitement all around, but the space is really limited, and the fate is crowded in the crowd and moving slowly, and there is no sedan chair fast, and it is easy to be surpassed.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something, turned his head suddenly, and couldn't help but jump in his heart. Because of the angle relationship, Bai Jingcheng was full of disdain and ridicule? There was even an expression that couldn't hide his smug expression, which was being received by him.

It seemed that he also felt the attention of others, Bai Jingcheng turned his gaze in the next moment, and skillfully met the gaze of Yuan Xing's inquiry.

The eyes of the two collided in the air, and in the next moment, all the complex emotions in Bai Jingcheng's eyes disappeared, he bent the corners of his mouth, and an elegant and warm smile passed from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Yuan Xing also covered his scrutinizing gaze at the same moment, his eyelids drooped and opened again, with a bright smile on his face.

After looking at each other for a moment, the two of them looked away and went their separate ways.

---------

Yuan Xing bowed his head and pondered all the way, and was led to the Jin Mansion by his apprentice, and found the inn with a lot of worries.

For the extra time it took him to go out this time, the senior brother who stayed in the inn must have a few words of concern.

said that he was lost, and he was inevitably ridiculed, laughing at him for running around because he was not familiar with the road.

Yuan Xing smiled awkwardly, only to find that everyone was packing up their things, and hurriedly asked, "Are you going back?" ”

"yes." The senior brother smiled, his face full of ease: "Yesterday, I got the news that the emperor has relented, and now the Heavenly Master has also entered Beijing, and the overall situation has been decided, so we should be able to go back to the mountain." ”

Yuan Xing was not as optimistic as his uncle and brother, and for some reason, after seeing Bai Jingcheng's strange look before, he was always uneasy in his heart, and his intuition told him that something was going to happen. But this feeling comes from a six-grade "petty official", thinking about it carefully, it is really subtle, but Ning Mu, who is the news channel, was not present, there is no evidence, and it is really difficult to say what he doubts.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that Ning Mu arrived in a hurry, and a big news broke as soon as he came.

The emperor summoned the important ministers of the court, and finally promised not to mention the establishment of the immortal dynasty again. And at this morning's court meeting, the imperial court passed a proposal to expand the imperial city.

"It's about the face of the country, and it makes sense to rebuild it." The senior brother nodded when he heard this. Now Dayong's palace is still a prince's mansion rebuilt in the Mengyuan period, not to mention the small area, the building has been dilapidated, with the stability of the regime, the bureaucracy is becoming more and more bloated, and now even the office space is not enough, so that it is necessary to rent a private house near the left to work.

It is urgent to build an imperial city that shows the strength and courage of the country.

"Enter the palace tomorrow and ask if we can go back." The old monk commanded.

"The disciple will inform the Metropolitan Governor tonight." Ning Mu replied with a smile.

Everyone got together and chatted for a long time, but Yuan Xing couldn't hold back and dragged Ning Mu aside: "Senior brother, do you say that it is possible that the emperor promised not to look for the dragon vein on the surface, but secretly sent someone to act secretly?" ”

Hearing this, Ning Mu squinted his eyes and looked at him deeply for a long time before he smiled and said, "No matter what, Your Majesty has made a move, and this matter can only end here." ”

Yuan Xing's heart trembled, and he understood.

The minister is afraid that the labor and money will affect the current stable situation, after all, no one wants to have a monarch standing on his head who is bent on seeking immortals.

The representatives of Buddhism and Taoism have various relationships in the Central Plains, and they have many entanglements with courtiers, even if they are only for their own interests, they must show their attitude in a big way. But except for the uncle, I don't know what the rest of the people think in their hearts.

Although the emperor has been on the throne for eight years, his subordinates are all former ministers of the former emperor, and each of them is old and strong. Otherwise, the news would not have leaked out early, and although the common people would have been kept in the dark with such an operation, the cultivation world would have known about it, and there were still many people who were tempted by it.

After this toss, the courtiers gained stability, the monks gained fame, and the emperor had a magnificent imperial city, and I am afraid that he would also be able to envelop the masters of the cultivation world in private.

From the beginning to the end, no one cared about the consequences of the opening of the "Gate of Heaven" at all......
