Chapter 64: To the Imperial Capital
Wu Qi came over to comfort Du Jie and said: "Old Qi, you don't have to care, this victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and besides, your entry time is still short, don't care." ”
Du Jie didn't react after hearing this: "What is the third senior brother talking about?" Did I lose? ”
Wu Qi saw that Du Jie seemed to be a little unconvinced, so he could only mutter: "Why are you so dead-eyed, if the fourth child was holding the Taiyin in his hand just now, now you have broken two fingers." ”
Du Jie shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything, but Ye Tingcheng, who had just walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, put the wooden sword in his hand in front of him and looked at it, only to see that a small gap appeared on one side of the wooden sword. And from this gap, a large amount of wood grain is threaded on the entire wooden sword. Ye Qingcheng gently touched the gap with his hand, but as soon as his fingers touched it, the wooden sword suddenly fell to the ground in pieces.
Ye Tingcheng turned around and looked at Du Jie in disbelief, Wu Qi pointed at Ye Tingcheng and then Du Jie, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Ye Chengcheng slowly walked back again, thinking about the competition. Chu Mu said beside him: "Okay, the competition ends here." Fourth, go back. ”
Ye Chengcheng looked at Chu Mu and knew that since the senior brother had spoken, there could be no more progress today, so he turned around and floated away.
Chu Mu looked at Du Jie again thoughtfully. "I haven't seen you for three years, the old seven inches are just right, but don't be complacent, just like the third one just said, if the fourth one has too yin in his hands, you have already spent two fingers, but you don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to defeat the fourth one this time......" After speaking, he shook his head, and Wu Qi also held back without saying anything with a strange face
Du Jie looked at the two senior brothers a little strangely: "What?" Could it be that the fourth senior sister can't win yet? ”
"Forget it, you'll know later, let's go to the upper courtyard, everyone is still waiting."
At noon, Chu Mu and his entourage finally returned to the upper courtyard of Tianjimen. Du Jie knelt in front of Tianji Zhou Li
"Master is above, disciple is back."
Tianjisu sat in the middle and nodded: "Come on, sit down and tell Master how you have been in Wanbaoshan in the past few years?" ”
Du Jie briefly talked about his three-year practice life, and said at the end: "Master, I went out of Wanbao Mountain this time, and the two elders of black and white explained that Wanbao Mountain has been sealed from today onwards. I haven't been able to bring back the cheats of this hidden flower cave. ”
Tianjisu smiled after hearing this: "Although the cheats of this Wanbao Mountain Hidden Flower Cave are good, but in the end they are all foreign objects, Xiaoyaozi and Zhen Shifang are famous figures in the rivers and lakes, you can get their true inheritance for three years is already a great creation, but if you walk the rivers and lakes in the future, you need to be cautious, and easily do not mention your relationship with the immortals, do you understand?" ”
Du Jie hurriedly said, "Disciple understands. ”
Seeing that Du Jie was still so sensible, Tianjisu couldn't help but nod before he said: "You just went home, you shouldn't have gone out, but now there is something you need to do, so I can only wronged you." ”
Chu Mu on the side asked as if he was a little surprised: "Master, the junior brother has just returned to the door, so it's good to leave something to us." also let him rest more in Yashan. Wu Qi also said with help on the side
"The rest of you can not go to this matter, Jerry must go."
"Oh? What's the matter? Could it be related to my grandfather? Du Jie said with some excitement after listening
"It doesn't have much to do with Marshal Du, but it has something to do with the state religion."
"State religion?"
"Three years ago, the Qianqiu saint of the state religion advertised that the world would choose a new heir, and now the people of the state religion have basically returned to the imperial capital, and the people of the state religion have also invited people from the rivers and lakes to watch the ceremony. This time, Chu Mu led the team, and you went to represent Tianji Gate. ”
"The Holy Maiden of the Thousand Autumns?" When Du Jie heard the name, he finally knew why Master wanted him to participate. This time, the heir was chosen for the purpose of picking immortals, and he went to see what the person who would partner with him in the future would be like.
Chu Mu saw that Tianjisuo's attitude was very resolute, so he could only look at Du Jie with a wry smile, and saw that Du Jie nodded silently before replying: "Yes." ”
"Okay, Jie'er just came back, you go down to rest first, Chu Mu stays, and there are still a few words to explain for the teacher."
"Yes!" The others all retreated, leaving Chu Mu and Tianjisu alone
Only then did Tianjisu say: "Mu'er, I will entrust you with an extremely important matter this time. ”
"Master, just give me orders."
"Take this token and go to the Holy One today." Tianjisu said as he took out half of the arrow feather from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Chu Mu
"This is what your second uncle left behind when he tried to save the emperor, the emperor once held the arrow feather in person, you can ask him to make a condition at will, I let you go to the imperial capital this time, on the one hand, to watch the ceremony, on the other hand, I want you to meet the current emperor......" said here, Tianjisuo's voice was unconsciously lowered a lot
Chu Mu stared at him and listened, and it took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief and say, "The disciple will definitely live up to the master's trust." ”
"Well, but you have to be careful with the emperor, if you can't do it, return it as soon as possible." Tianjisu asked with some concern
"Master, don't worry, since I am holding the token, the emperor will not regret it."
"Mu'er can't be careless, the emperor has some means, it's good to be careful." Tianjisu took out the arrow feather from the side and handed it to Chu Mu.
"Thank You, Master"
"Okay, let's go down, Jie'er has just returned to Yashan, I will give you seven days, and set off for the imperial capital in seven days."
"Yes"
The state religion is an extremely special existence in the imperial court. The ancestral emperor pacified the four seas back then, but only the rivers and lakes and green forests repeatedly had small-scale uprisings. Later, Prime Minister Zuo Ban proposed to set up a state religion to recruit people from all over the world to practice martial arts for the use of the imperial court to check and balance the rivers and lakes. The state religion belongs to the rivers and lakes, but it also has an official title in the imperial court. The Holy Maiden of the Church is of high authority and is chosen as the heir. It can be regarded as a smooth progress. In addition to being entrusted with important tasks by the saints, he can also get the attention of martial arts people. Therefore, the selection of the heir of this thousand years of saints is a rare event in recent years.
The imperial capital is located in the eastern part of the entire Central Plains, backed by the Taihang Mountains, and is surrounded by mountains from Feng Shui, and there are three large rivers outside the mountains to form an impact plain. It is an excellent place to build a capital. The whole imperial capital sits in the north and faces south, and outside the south gate is a horse and a flat river, I heard that the person who proposed to build the capital here at that time was to accompany the ancestor emperor to conquer the country, and he was an extremely powerful figure. This person is astrological divination, astronomy and geography, and has extremely high attainments in feng shui. In the past few rebel armies, Emperor Zu was definitely not the strongest, but he was the one who won the world in the end, thanks to this talent. Legend has it that this person was the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and when he came into the world, colorful clouds suddenly fell from the sky.
This matter was hyped by Emperor Zu, saying that the military advisor was sent by God to assist Emperor Zu to take over the world, and the court was the court of heaven's blessing. This was extremely fast at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, which won the hearts of the people all over the world. After the hard work of two generations of emperors, there is now the prosperity of the world.
Du Jie was a little disapprehensive when he heard this, he was very disdainful of the ghosts and gods, but he also admired the emperor's family for being able to make such a big article with a person's death, and he was even more fascinated by this legendary military advisor.
Chu Mu laughed at this time: "Old Seven, if you say that others are afraid that they won't be able to find it for you, but if you say that this founding army division ......" Saying this, he pointed to the sixth old man Kong Miaozhi and then continued: "Our sixth child is the grandson of this great military division. ”
Du Jie looked at Kong Miaozhi with a little astonishment after hearing this, he didn't expect that his sixth child still had such a heritage. I was about to ask, but I didn't want Kong Miaozhi to say with a slightly different face: "I don't know either, my ancestors told us in the early years, but when I was young, I have forgotten everything now." ”
Kong Miaozhi prevaricated in a few words, and then said: "There is one more thing to tell Lao Qi, the state religion has a very strange rule, only female disciples are recruited. Although this time the recruitment of disciples, but it should only be limited to women, in the early years she had ordered three people. I think that the heirs this time will be mostly produced in these three people. ”
After hearing this, Wu Qi grinned and snorted: "This emperor Lao Tzu is blessed, and all the female disciples in the state religion call ......" Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Chu Mu fiercely.
"Third child, if you are so open-mouthed, you will immediately roll back to Yashan for me."
Wu Qi saw that Senior Brother was really angry, stuck out his tongue, and then Nuo Nuo responded. Chu Mu then turned around and said, "Don't chat, this place is only a hundred miles away from the capital, let's hurry up and rush to Tingfeng Pavilion before dark." ”
Tianjimen is one of the few sects that has its own industry in Beijing, and its name is Tingfeng Pavilion. In the past few days, the pavilion master heard that the young master Chu Mu was going to enter Beijing, and he kept telling the men to wait carefully at the door. To this day, when the sun goes down in the west, several groups of horses run from the south side of the avenue. The first person is Chu Mu.
The guy who got the news ran into the pavilion like a burning butt, only to find that the pavilion master had not come back today. had to run down like the wind again, just in time for Chu Mu and a few of them to dismount. The man hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "Uncle, you are finally here today, the pavilion master and his old man have been talking about you for several days." ”
Chu Mu sent the reins over, then turned around and asked, "What about my thirteenth uncle?" ”
The man said with a bitter face: "I was still in the pavilion early in the morning, but I am not here at this time, I may have gone out when I was not paying attention, uncle, you rest first, and I will go to find the pavilion master." ”
Chu Mu seemed to have thought of it a long time ago, and said, "No need, Uncle Thirteen has something to do, let him go and get busy first." Let's get ready to come out of the wing, take them to rest, by the way, this is my master's newly accepted disciple, and he will be called the seventh master in the future. Chu Mu said and pointed at Du Jie
After hearing this, the guy hurriedly shouted: "Seventh master, a few masters, take a few of the little ones to the side room." ”
