Chapter 335: The Palace
The new emperor ascended the throne, and Xianyang City, which had been in fear for a long time, finally ushered in a hint of joy.
Since the Hubu Legion defeated the Son of Heaven who patrolled the hunt in the first battle and half of the country fell, Xianyang has been in the midst of rumors, and all kinds of rumors have come and gone, and they have been shocked every day. While the family was hesitating to which side to be loyal to, ordinary people began to prepare to flee. They have no capital to pledge allegiance to anyone, so they can only choose to leave the land before the war comes.
For a time, the imperial capital Xianyang became the most unsafe place in the world.
The ascension of the new emperor to the throne played a role in stabilizing the people's hearts in a great way. Ordinary people don't know the deceit, loyalty and betrayal between families, they only know that the country cannot be without a king for a day, without the Son of Heaven, there can be no peace, with the Son of Heaven, there is a backbone. What's more, according to the custom, the new emperor will have an amnesty when he ascends the throne, and there will be rewards. For ordinary people, one or two buckets of wine and one or two catties of meat are also rare enjoyment.
Ying dares to often mess around in the market, and knows a lot about these psychology. He not only announced a general amnesty, gave wine and meat, but also ordered the walls of the imperial city to be repainted as a way to show the new atmosphere of the new dynasty. For the vast majority of people in Xianyang, the symbol of the royal family is this wall, as well as the Tianshu Tower in the wall.
The Tianshu Pagoda cannot be rebuilt, but the walls of the imperial city can be painted.
Ying Ziqing stood in the empty Heavenly Academy, looking lonely. A team of craftsmen and Lifu were busy, dismantling all the few remaining lonely towers in the Heavenly Academy, loading them into trucks, and sending them to the Afang Palace, which was not far away. The new emperor will build a tower in Afang Palace, but there are no materials, so he has to demolish the lonely tower of the Heavenly Academy.
In addition to this, the towers of the other six courtyards will also be demolished. Since the Heavenly Academy doesn't have a tower, how can the other six courtyards have their own towers. The new emperor did not have the strength to rebuild the Tianshu Pagoda for the Heavenly Academy, so he had to demolish the other towers as well.
Ling Hu Minzhi stood aside, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any fluctuations in his eyes. Not even a hint of joy.
"Toshiyuki, let's do this...... Is it really good?"
Ling Hu Minzhi turned his head and looked at Ying Ziqing in surprise. After a while, he said, "This is also something that cannot be helped. ”
"yes. Ying Ziqing sighed: "I'm just worried that I won't be able to face the great masters of the Heavenly Academy in the future, without the Heavenly Book Tower, without the Lonely Tower, what is the difference between the Heavenly Academy and an ordinary courtyard?"
Linghu Minzhi blinked. "The reason why the Heavenly Academy is the Heavenly Academy is not in the Heavenly Book Tower, nor in the Lonely Tower, but in the great teacher. Where there is a great teacher, it is the Heavenly Academy. ”
Ying Ziqing did not say anything. He felt that Ling Hu Minzhi's words were a bit harsh.
......
Ying dared to sit in front of the palace of Afang. Tilting his head, he looked at the southeast sky and squinted slightly. In addition to his immature face, he looks a little like the first emperor.
At that moment, the Queen Mother Ying Ruoying was in a trance.
"The Queen Mother?" Ying dared to hear the footsteps, turned her head, and looked at the Queen Mother with only one palace maid in surprise. "The Queen Mother has something, why don't she pass on the decree and come in person?"
"I know you're busy. Don't want to waste your time. The Empress Dowager said: "The first emperor often stood here and watched. ”
"Yes. However, the first emperor has always stood in the shadows. ”
"Yes, the First Emperor has been standing in the shadow of the Heavenly Book Tower. But why isn't that under the protection of the Heavenly Academy?"
Ying dared to smile and did not argue. No matter what the Queen Mother thinks. The Heavenly Book Tower is gone, and there will never be again. In that case, what is there to argue about?
"Is there anything wrong with the Queen Mother?" asked Ying Dare again.
"You can move the lonely tower in my palace, I won't need it anyway. ”
Ying dared to raise her eyebrows: "Where is the Queen Mother going?"
"Your sister wants to build me a palace in Crouching Tiger. I'm going to go and live there for a while. After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Ying dared to raise his hand, and stopped talking. He smiled to himself. A hint of loss flashed in his eyes. At this time, Li Xian, the national teacher of the Tiance Academy, asked to see him and reported a heavy news: the traitor Xiahou Mengde's family intended to abscond and were captured by the Golden Legion, and all of them have been taken into custody.
Ying dared to raise his head. "Spring is coming, and it is not advisable to kill. ”
Li Xian understood. "The facts of this case are clear, there are no doubts, and the minister can close the case before the first spring thunder. ”
......
Surrounded by dozens of horsemen such as Lin Ziyi, Ying Yiran turned over and dismounted in front of the Xiaoyang Palace, strode into the palace gate, and went straight to the National Teacher's Palace.
The National Teacher's Hall is being rebuilt. In the battle with Yin Jiao and Bai Fengbing, in order to seal these two Dao realms in the secret passage, Wuji destroyed most of the National Teacher's Palace. When the battle was over, he simply transferred craftsmen from the Fengfeng Country to rebuild the entire National Teacher's Palace.
Seeing Ying Yiran coming lightly, Wuji frowned. "Again, you're too careless. ”
Ying Yiran smiled: "Yin Jiao is dead, Bai Fengbing is disabled, who else can hurt me?" She raised her hand and interrupted Wuji. "I'm in a hurry to get back, and I have something to discuss with you. ”
"Nothing is too important to say in the Tower of Loneliness. ”
"You're too busy to go into the Tower of Loneliness, so I've got to rush back. Ying Yiran glanced at Wuji, looked around, and pulled Wuji aside. "I asked the queen mother to go out on patrol and prepare to place her in Crouching Tiger Town, where do you think it is more appropriate to build a palace?"
Mowgli was surprised. "You came all the way back just for this?"
"The great master should not only study the Book of Heaven, but also study the geography of Yin and Yang, where to build a palace, it will directly affect the fortune of the people who live in it, how can you not be cautious?
Mowgli smiled. "It's really simple, it's just that you're thinking too complicated. Well, since you have the heart, I won't shirk it. Right where I first met you. ”
Ying Yiran smiled and nodded again and again. "That'...... Can you arrange some giant craftsmen, Crouching Tiger Town can't find such good craftsmen, and there are not so many stones. If you levy the people, I am afraid it will have an impact on the reputation of your great teacher. ”
Mowgli shook his head. "Okay, I know that you didn't just come back to choose a location, but the main purpose of fighting the autumn breeze is to fight the autumn breeze. However, Wang Guoshi is currently building a palace for Sister Yuling in the Snow Mountain, and I am afraid that he will not be able to spare too many people to go to Crouching Tiger Town. You will take the Queen Mother to inspect the southern frontier of Daqin first, and when you come back, it is estimated that the palace will be almost good. ”
"Can I take her to Zifu Mountain? She wants to see the place where the Great Master has feathered. ”
Wuji was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled. It is not easy to go to Zifu Mountain, and the Queen Mother has to rely on the great master. You can go anywhere, why do you have to run to Zifu Mountain?
Seeing Wuji's hesitation, Ying Yiran sighed. "Mowgli, there is something I want to confess to you. ”
"What's the matter? ”
"Yes, it's very strict. Maybe...... It's more out of line than daring to do it now. "Ying is also a little embarrassed. "I ...... I don't know what to say. ”
Wuji thought for a moment and laughed: "It has something to do with the Great Teacher?"
"Hmm. Ying Yiran nodded. "Have you noticed that even though you have comprehended the Dao Realm, you still haven't found the memory of the Great Master?"
Mowgli understood. He smiled bitterly: "Your surname Ying is really going to deceive people, I said why I can't find the memory of the great master." Even the memories of Sha Jingou and Bai Fengbing have been plundered by me, but there is no news of the memory of the great master, it turns out that he didn't give it to me at all. ”
"Yes, he gave me the memory. Ying was embarrassed. "I just found out, so I'm going to rush back in person and make it clear to you in person. ”
Wuji smiled dumbly and didn't speak for a long time. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow. Pleasantly surprised. "You're enlightened?"
"Not yet, but I remember something I haven't experienced at all, something ...... What happened before I was born. Ying Yiran frowned slightly. "I don't quite understand what's going on, so I'm going to invite the Queen Mother to Crouching Tiger. I wanted to ask her face to face. ”
Mowgli nodded and didn't say anything more. After a while, he suddenly said, "By the way, the palace in the snowy mountains is almost ready." Would you like to see it?"
"Can I go?" asked Ying Yiran timidly.
"Of course. Wuji looked around and beckoned Zhao Hu to the side. "Sue the King of Yumin, I will go to the Snow Mountain with the King of Xiaoyang. ”
"Wow. Zhao Hu replied with a sharp voice.
Ying Yiran looked at him in surprise. Look at Mowgli again. Wuji didn't explain, just smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled Ying Yiran in front of him, hugged him in his arms, jumped up, turned into a giant eagle, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
......
Between the ice and snow, a group of giants are busy, and the windproof giant Wang Xicheng is wearing a hundred clothes, standing on an ice peak a thousand steps away, looking into the distance. Hearing the chirping of an eagle, he raised his head and looked, laughed twice, and the sound of a bronze bell echoed among the snowy mountains.
"Boom ......Boom" An avalanche began on an ice peak in the distance.
The giant eagle landed on the hillside, and Wuji put down Yingyi, and walked towards Wang Xicheng side by side. Wang Xicheng stroked his beard and nodded again and again.
"What a couple. The blend of fire and water, yin and yang, is perfect. ”
Ying Yiran blushed and peeked at Wuji. Mowgli smiled without answering, pointing to the Peak of Our Lady in the distance. "What can you see?"
Ying also looked closely, but only saw one ice peak, and nothing else was visible.
"This is the Holy Mother Peak, which is Bai Fengbing's cultivation place, and now it has been renamed Ice and Fire Peak. In this Ice and Fire Peak, there is a huge palace made of ice, called Liuyu Palace, which is the place where Sister Yuling delves into food. It was designed and built by Wang Guoshi himself. ”
Ying Yiran listened, feeling a little lost.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see it. Wuji greeted Wang Xicheng, took Ying Yiran's hand, crossed the void, and flew towards the Ice and Fire Peak. Ying Yiran's feet were empty, but the wind was loud in his ears, and he was taken aback, and involuntarily hugged Wuji's arm and closed his eyes. In a moment, her feet were on the ground again, and she cautiously opened her eyes.
With just one look, she was stunned.
A huge palace appeared in front of her. There is not a single stone, not a single tile, there are transparent ice cubes everywhere, overlapping and overlapping, and the light and shadow flow, like a fairyland. There were a few lights in the depths of the palace, like stars in the sky, bright but not dazzling, and even the flames were indescribably pure.
"It's so beautiful!" Ying Yiran couldn't help but admire: "I have never seen such a beautiful palace, Afang Palace is simply vulgar compared to here." ”
Again, you can't say that. Shi Yuling came out of it like the wind. Although she was in the ice palace, she only wore a spring shirt, her skin was half exposed, and her sleeves were half rolled. "I can't afford this transgression. ”
"Arrogant?" Ying Yiran laughed and glanced at Wuji. "No matter how good the place where the great master enjoys the food, no one dares to say that it is arrogant. Mowgli, don't you say?"
Wuji didn't answer her words, and together with Shi Yuling, he led Ying Yiran slowly in the palace. The palace looks the same, with only ice as a material, and occasionally there are places where there is white snow, but there is no monotonous feeling. Five steps and one scene, ten steps and one hall, the big majestic, the small exquisite, so that Ying is also dizzying, and he will forget to return.
In the end, Shi Yuling served the food, and before Ying Yiran could taste it, a voice came from outside.
"Okay, call me when you fight, and don't call me if there's something delicious?"
In the middle of the words, Lin Ziyue rode in to avoid evil spirits, and with a hook of her fingers, the ice tray in Shi Yushi's hand flew up and fell into her hands. Lin Ziyue didn't use chopsticks, she directly picked up a piece of tender yellow fruit with her fingers, threw it into her mouth, and giggled: "Sister, your craftsmanship has grown again." ”
Shi Yuling smiled but did not answer, picked up a plate again, and handed it to Ying Yiran. Ying Yiran held the ice tray and tasted a small bite, and suddenly felt that his mouth was full of fragrant, and even his tongue was almost melting.
"It's delicious, it's delicious. ”
"How is it better than the Imperial Dining Room?" asked Mowgli.
"The best and most beautiful chef in the world is here. Ying Yiran took Shi Yuling's hand and begged: "Sister, is there my room in such a big palace?"
"Of course there is, if there is the King of Yumin, of course there must be the King of Xiaoyang. Shi Yuling smiled: "I'll take you to see?"
"Yes, yes. Ying Yiran was overjoyed, pulled Shi Yuling, and couldn't wait to go.
Lin Ziyue swept away her plate of desserts, took the rest of Ying Yiran, and threw it into her mouth, while saying, "What, you really plan to retreat here and ignore the affairs of Xianyang? I heard that Ying dared to be so fierce in Xianyang that even the Queen Mother couldn't stand it?"
"Let him toss and see what flowers he can toss. Mowgli smiled contemptuously. "After so many things, he still relies on those tricks, it's really ignorant. ”
"I don't think so. Lin Ziyue snorted twice. "You also said that those surnamed Ying will deceive people, and this Ying dare to be a master is probably also a master. ”
"So what?" Wuji asked rhetorically, "Can you deceive others, can you deceive himself?"
