After passing the main gate, you can be regarded as really entering the upper palace.

The main entrance is connected to a long straight bridge of equal width to the outer steps, flanked by half-height balustrades. Looking at the railing, under the bridge is a continuous roof and tree canopy, as well as a chessboard-like road, which shows that someone is walking in it, and that is the lower palace.

Visually, the bridge is about nine zhang high, if you stand below and look up, it is like a flying bridge in the sky, which is also the reason why Qi Xuansu has never been to the palace back then, and he really can't go up.

Daomen is about equality, at least on the surface is about equality, so the upper palace and lower palace of Vientiane Dao Palace do not refer to the level of status, that is, the actual position in the literal sense - the upper palace is built in a high place, so the name is the upper palace, and the lower palace is built on flat ground, so the name is the lower palace, which is very straightforward and simple, and has no profound meaning.

Qi Xuansu used to be able to stand below and look up at the flying bridge, but now he finally stepped on the flying bridge, his mood was complicated, all kinds of feelings, and many emotions, but Zhang Yuelu couldn't understand it.

Zhang Yuelu's mood is more about revisiting the old place, but she has just been away for a few years, and there is really not much change here.

At the end of the bridge is the main building of Vientiane Dao Palace, Ming Hall. It is 300 feet high, 300 feet in the north and south, east and west, with a total of three layers: the lower layer corresponds to four times on all sides, that is, spring, summer, autumn and winter; The middle layer of the law is twelve hours, the upper is a round cover, and the nine dragons hold it; The upper method of the twenty-four solar terms, also for the round cover, on the golden phoenix, one zhang high. There is a huge wooden pile in the middle of the Ming Hall, which is the main trunk attached to the bucket beam frame, which runs through up and down, and is called Vientiane.

From the Vientiane Shrine of the earliest Empress of the Ming Dynasty, to the Vientiane School Palace of Confucianism, to today's Vientiane Dao Palace, all kinds of peripheral buildings have been changing, and the Ming Hall has never changed. Many heroes have come and gone, and they have all been scattered in the end.

Qi Xuansu looked at the Ming Hall at the other end of the long bridge and was speechless for a long time. Although he didn't know how many times he had looked at Mingtang, it was the first time he had seen it from the front. Just like a beautiful woman, Qi Xuansu has seen her back many times and her side face many times, but she has not seen her face, and this time she got her wish.

Zhang Yuelu also stopped to admire for a moment, because of the Vientiane Dao Palace's "dare not be the first in the world", she can't come here often, now it's a break semester, she can come in, after June 15, this place is closed, she can only wait outside, so there are not many opportunities to see Mingtang, and it is no exaggeration to say that she has more opportunities to go to Jinque than to Mingtang.

Zhang Yuelu said: "When I came last time, I happened to meet Yan Mingchen, who also came to study. Do you remember this man? ”

"Of course I remember, he was beaten by me in Yunjin Mountain." Qi Xuansu made a gesture of opening the gun, "Since the Xuansheng Zhongxing Daomen, five of the six generations of Heavenly Masters have come from the Zhang family, and the only Heavenly Master with a different surname is surnamed Yan, and you are considered to be world friends." ”

Zhang Yuelu continued: "I don't have any thoughts about Yan Mingchen, because of the relationship between the two families for many years, I just be an ordinary friend. But somehow my mother found out, so she began to plan a marriage. After all, at that time, I had not yet been recognized as a descendant by the Master, and my weight in the Dao Sect was far less than it is now. If it were me now, my mother would never have wanted to. So she still thanked you, saving her from having to find a way to send Yan Mingchen again. ”

Qi Xuansu wanted to take advantage of the situation to mock a few words, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, swallowed back the words he blurted out, and asked carefully: "Qingxiao, what do you want to say?" ”

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him and said with a smile: "I want to say, in the next three months, don't mess with flowers and grass, and keep yourself clean." ”

Qi Xuansu said bitterly: "Qingxiao, how can you not believe me? ”

"Of course I believe you." Zhang Yuelu said in a calm tone, "Just to remind you, many people took a fancy to my identity at the beginning, even if I didn't get along well, they insisted on coming to my side, and their intentions were unknown." Then if it is replaced by you, it is the same reason, such a young four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, even if you don't do anything, you will attract bees and butterflies. In the past, it was okay, only the four grades of sacrificial wine Taoist priests came here for further study, and most of them were elderly, but this time it included the five-grade alternate sacrificial wine and the six-grade preparatory sacrificial wine, and there were many young women in it, and they were also excellent, but they were far worse than you, and it was reasonable to want something to happen to you. It doesn't matter if you can't control it yourself, or if someone sets up a trick and calculates, as long as the raw rice is cooked and cooked, and then the woman uses this as a threat to make things bigger, either you will be ruined, or you will form a Taoist relationship with that woman. ”

Qi Xuansu's face was solemn.

This is not unfounded, but a real possibility.

If you can become a six-grade Taoist priest before the age of thirty, you will be included in the ranks of "preparing sacrificial wine" by the Daomen. If you can become a five-grade Taoist priest before the age of thirty-five, you will be listed as a "candidate for sacrificial wine" by the Daomen.

In other words, the twenty-seven or eight-year-old preparatory sacrificial wine, and the thirty-two-thirteen-year-old alternate sacrificial wine, are not a few, and in the eyes of others, they are still promising, but compared with Qi Xuansu, a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist who is less than thirty years old, it is far behind. Even if he is the same age as Qi Xuansu, there is a big gap, and few people can be promoted like Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.

Just as many people think that Qi Xuansu is relying on Zhang Yuelu's little white face, many women don't mind dedicating themselves to Qi Xuansu for the future, and even seek to become a young and handsome wife, which is much faster than slowly climbing herself.

The so-called change of fate by marrying someone is still the dream of many women, who do not want to marry a man, but to marry a powerful person.

As long as women make things bigger, except for powerful figures like Li Tianzhen, ordinary people can only choose to comply, otherwise they will be ruined.

If Qi Xuansu wants to touch the flowers and grass, once it is glued, even if he does not die, he will have to shed a layer of skin. In the end, it may be that the future is gone, and Zhang Yuelu is also a stranger to him.

This is no joke.

Qi Xuansu tightened his collar: "I can't imagine that someone from my Qi will be able to become a fragrant dumpling one day, it seems that I have to be more careful, keep this ice clear and jade body, and leave it to my Lantai girl." ”

Zhang Yuelu listened to him more and more disagreeable, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I found that your courage is getting bigger and bigger, when you used to talk to me, you were well-behaved, like a quail, and your neck was shrunk." Now you're like a golden chicken, just shake your wings and tail if you have nothing to do, and you want to fly to my head to make a nest. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "The most clever hunter often appears in the form of prey, if I don't cower and bow low and be small, how can I lure you to the bait?" ”

Zhang Yuelu just laughed, not like him.

If Qi Xuansu dared to speak so frivolously when the two first met, it would inevitably arouse her disgust, but after so many ups and downs, the two intersected and knew each other, naturally it was different, not only would she not be angry, but she would enjoy it.

Besides, don't look at Qi Xuansu now as if he had premeditated, Zhang Yuelu is not blind, when the two first met, Qi Xuansu didn't have any rules, but she was more active, but she didn't want to break him.

While talking, the two walked across the flying bridge that was more than 300 zhang long and came to the front of the Ming Hall.

At this time, the door is open, you can see the inside at a glance, the place where the dragon chair was originally placed has disappeared, first a statue of a saint was placed by the Confucian people, and then the Taoist door carried out the statue of the Confucian saint and replaced it with the statue of the ancestor of the Taishang Dao.

In addition, the gate has also been remodeled to a certain extent, in addition to the original main entrance, the other three directions also open their own doors, connecting different areas, making the hall here a similar transit place.

Zhang Yuelu said: "Pei Zhenren said that the so-called further study is actually a formality, but it can't be wrong, many things are not of much significance, it is nothing more than to find some knowledgeable old Taoist priests to teach a group of young Taoist priests, the content is somewhat similar to the Confucian loyalty and filial piety, that is, to teach you to be loyal to the Tao, but how can those children of the family listen?" As for you...... Your problem is not here, you came from the lower palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace, more than ten years of edification, you have a strong sense of belonging to the Daomen, and your feelings for the Daomen are still deep, but you don't think so, you can do it with all kinds of rules and some high-grade Taoists. ”

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly, and had to admit that Zhang Yuelu was still accurate in looking at people. If he didn't have a sense of identity and belonging to the Daomen, then he wouldn't try his best to escape from the Qingping Society. However, some people inside the Daomen have done some things, such as Shen Yulai and others, and the Jiangnan case, which is really disappointing.

Zhang Yuelu led him to a signing room located in the southwest corner, which was in charge of registration, Qi Xuansu showed the green rattan paper given by Qi Xuan and Pei Xiaolou, and received a jade pendant, which was not worth much, mainly used to prove his identity and open the residence access control, and he needed to hand it in when he left.

Then Zhang Yuelu took Qi Xuansu from the east gate to leave the Ming Hall, and the east gate was also connected to a flying bridge, which was much shorter, and at the end of the bridge was a continuous courtyard, like a pavilion in the air.

In fact, overlooking from above, the whole Vientiane Dao Palace is like three "mouth" words set together, that is, the word "back" outside another "mouth", the innermost "small mouth" is the Ming Hall, the "middle mouth" wrapped in the Ming Hall is the upper palace, connected to the second layer of the Ming Hall by a bridge, and the outermost "big mouth" is the lower palace, because it is not a suspended building, the bridge is omitted, and it is directly connected to the first layer of the Ming Hall.

Because of this, if viewed from the front, Vientiane Dao Palace looks like a mountain divided into three layers.

This area is the daily living place, Qi Xuansu, as a four-grade wine priest, of course, will not be like in the past in the lower palace several people crowded in one room, and there is no need to be like the six-grade Taoist, the five-grade Taoist priest has only one room, he finally lived in the suite, there is a small courtyard outside, in addition to the bedroom, there is also a study and living room, which can be said to be quite good.
