Before dawn the next day, all the disciples of the old Taoist in Qingling Beppu got up early in the morning, changed their clothes and washed up one by one, and then the disciples took the morning class seriously.

Gao Hongqing actually got up in the room a long time ago, and a limited number of Taoist clothes were also looking at it non-stop, and finally put on the one from yesterday, after all, it was already the best clothes, and it also looked more grand.

When he went out, listening to the voices of his disciples who were more neat and powerful than before, Gao Hongqing's face also showed a satisfied look.

Walking to the courtyard in front, a group of disciples were playing a set of exercises at a slow pace, while chanting words in their mouths, and the mantras they recited were more imposing than ever.

Seeing that the old Taoist was coming, the disciples did not stop, and it was not until the exercises were completed several times that everyone gradually stopped under the leadership of the senior brother, and then faced the old Taoist.

"Master early~~~"

More than a dozen disciples spoke in unison, and Gao Hongqing nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, in good spirits!"

It is not for nothing that the disciples have a strong desire to express themselves today, in addition to the excitement when they first arrived in the capital, it is also because the master is going to enter the palace to face the saint, and he said that he will take two disciples with him.

This is really nervous and exciting, all the disciples are so excited that they have been competing since last night, hoping that they can follow the master into the palace together.

Of course, there is an exception, that is, the senior brother Zhuang Shengyi, he will definitely be taken by the master, so the others are competing for another place.

"Master, breakfast is ready!" "Master, I've also looked for the Dan furnace, and the furnace is stable!"

"Well, it's all good! When I entered the palace today, I was accompanied by Shengyi and Bo Min to face the saint together as a teacher! ”

"It's Master!"

Senior Brother and one of the disciples responded excitedly and loudly, while the other disciples were suddenly a little discouraged.

"Everyone is thinking about something, they are all coming to the capital, pay attention!"

"Yes"

Only then did the disciples regain their spirits, and they all came to the capital, and there were good days in the future, and then they went to have breakfast with the master.

This is different when you come to the capital, Gao Hongqing doesn't say the word breakfast anymore, one breakfast at a time.

Not long after eating, a person came from the direction of the front yard gate, it was Si Tianjian's deputy supervisor, Gao Hongqing hurriedly greeted him.

"Gao Dao Chief!"

The deputy supervisor walked to salute first, and Gao Hongqing didn't dare to have any arrogance, so he hurriedly returned the salute.

"Oh, Lord Lu!"

After the deputy prisoner came in, he looked at the many Daoists who came out and the conspicuous Dan furnace in the courtyard over there, and then approached the Dao.

"Is the Taoist chief ready, I will enter the palace in a while, if you can, you must leave a good impression on the emperor!"

"That's nature!"

"That's good, the carriage is already outside, if it's convenient for the Taoist chief, let's leave now, although there is still more than an hour, but after all, we can't let the emperor wait!"

"Well, my lord said yes! Shengyi, Bomin, come with the teacher! ”

"It's Master!"

The two disciples came happily, and then Gao Hongqing and the deputy supervisor talked for a while, telling the disciples not to make trouble here, take care of the Dan furnace, and then leave the house and get into the carriage.

When the carriage passed through the streets of the capital that were relatively deserted in the morning, and approached the gate of the imperial palace, the old Taoist and the two disciples began to get nervous.

However, the old Taoist suddenly had a feeling, and subconsciously lifted the curtain to look over there, it was another carriage that was also approaching the palace gate.

"What's wrong with Daoist Gao?"

The deputy supervisor of Si Tian, who was also in the carriage, asked, and the old Taoist let go of half of his body and pointed out.

"That carriage gives me a very, uh, very special feeling."

Gao Daoren actually wanted to say that it was very uncomfortable, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mouth again, after all, this is in front of the palace.

The deputy of the prison leaned closer to the side curtain and looked at it.

"Oh, I forgot to tell Daoist Gao, it's not just you who are enshrined today, there are also some other mages, and they are also some people who are more valued by the imperial court, and the statute of the Dharma Appraisal Conference will come down soon, and the emperor also wants to see the more extraordinary mages first."

"I see!"

The old Taoist didn't say much, it turned out that he didn't just summon himself, and he suddenly had a faint sense of crisis in his heart.

Sure enough, both carriages and horses entered the palace after being inspected by the forbidden army, and several more cars arrived at the palace after that, each accompanied by an official from the Heavenly Prison.

As soon as he entered the palace, the old Taoist had a heavy feeling in his heart, and on the back carriages, there were people in brocade clothes and Taoist robes, and they also had a similar feeling.

Today there is another small pilgrimage meeting, but this meeting has ended, but not all ministers have retired.

At this moment, in the imperial garden, in addition to the emperor, there are also some ministers, including Shangshu Zuo Servant and Yu Ziye and others, saying that they are appreciating the plum together, in fact, many ministers know that the emperor wants to see the mage.

There is a faint fragrance of plum in the imperial garden, and some special varieties of plum blossoms have already bloomed in this winter month.

The emperor walked in the imperial garden with his officials, and some officials were talking in the back.

Shang Shu's left servant shot to Yu Ziye's side.

"Lord Yu, Your Majesty doesn't really want to see those so-called mages today, right?"

"Why does Prime Minister Zhou knowingly ask, the Dharma Appraisal Conference is already the top priority of the saint's concern, and this move is not unexpected."

Yu Ziye's voice was normal, but Zhou Xiande felt a little sarcastic, nodded and said nothing.

The emperor in front of him walked to a large plum tree, looked at the blooming flowers with a smile on his face, and suddenly looked to the side.

"Sima Aiqing, have you all arrived?"

Sima Xiao approached a few steps.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's already here."

"Hmm!"

The emperor turned around, and many of the ministers in the rear also stopped suddenly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today coincides with the meeting, and it happens to be with me to meet some of the high-level masters of our dynasty before the Dharma Appraisal Conference."

Without waiting for any reaction from the rest of the officials, the emperor looked at Sima Xiao.

"Pass them on."

"Yes!"

Sima Xiao left in a hurry after saluting, and the emperor and the ministers did not leave, but waited under this plum tree, and the eunuchs brought tables and chairs.

After a while, Sima Xiao came over with a group of mages one after another.

There were a total of nine people who came, Gao Hongqing with two disciples was counted as three, the three saints of Xiaoshan were also counted as three, and the other three came alone, strictly speaking, five ranks.

The emperor and his ministers were curious, disdainful, frowning, or maintaining their usual appearances, but they all looked at the group of mages who came over, and when they arrived, they saluted the emperor one after another.

"In the next / poor road / the old man to meet Your Majesty!"

With a smile on his face, the emperor looked at everyone and nodded.

"You mages don't have to be polite, by the way, who is the high Taoist?"

Gao Hongqing and the two disciples were overjoyed, and the former gave up again.

"Your Majesty, the poor road is!"

Although Gao Daoren was dressed relatively plainly, he was accompanied by two disciples, and his style was not bad at all, and he was nervous under the emperor's scrutiny, but he maintained his composure on the surface.

The surrounding mages also looked at the high Dao people, not knowing why this old Dao with disciples was valued by the emperor, in fact, the various mages were still unclear about each other.

"I've heard that the elder is good at alchemy, but is there such a thing?"

As soon as these words came out, several mages around were shocked, and they re-examined their unsightly Gao Daoren and his party, and some officials of the imperial court also frowned, and couldn't help but have a few words of discussion.

But the high-level people are not humble or silent.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Poor Dao One Vein Danshu has been inherited for nearly three hundred years, and has been practicing for many years, and it has been the twenty-second generation of the poor Dao here, I dare not say that I have made many achievements, but I also ask myself if I am not ashamed of the inheritance of the master!"

The emperor's face was beaming with joy.

"I heard that the chief brought a Dan furnace, and the fire of the furnace will not be extinguished for thousands of miles, but is there such a thing?"

A smile appeared on Gao Daoren's face.

"This is a treasure furnace handed down by the master of the poor way, and the fire in the furnace cannot be extinguished, nor will it be easily extinguished!"

"Okay, well, I really want to see the Dao Master's Dan Technique as soon as possible!"

The Emperor said and looked at the rest of the mages.

"I wonder what all the mages are capable of?"

Before the emperor's words fell, one of the three saints of Xiao Shan stepped forward directly, which was somewhat excessive, but he seemed to be disdainful of the others, and said to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the plum blossoms in the imperial garden are really pleasing to the eye, but Poor Dao heard that the best way to enjoy plum blossoms is in the snow, so it is beautiful, so let Poor Dao come to offer ugliness to add a color to His Majesty's imperial garden!"

As the words fell, the man glanced back at the two behind him, and the two cast spells and seals, while he flicked his sleeves to the sky.

The speed of the clouds in the sky is a little thicker with the naked eye, and the sunlight can still be seen, which will look a little gloomy, and when everyone is subconsciously looking into the air, someone exclaims.

"It's snowing!"

Only then did everyone realize that snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

"It's snowing!" "It's really snowing!" "There's still a ray of sunshine just now!"

"Really?"

The emperor was also shocked, and even stood up directly.

"This, could it be that the mage cast a spell to make the sky snow?"

The man and the two behind him both had smug smiles on their faces, and bowed again.

"It's ugly in front of Your Majesty and all of you!"

Directly changing the weather to make the sky snow, the impact of this method is too great, even Yu Ziye and some ministers are shocked, this is no longer a mortal means, right?

Even Gao Hongqing and the other three mages were beating wildly, although it was only a light snow, but the time of changing the sky was already very high, and they didn't even hear the other party chanting any spells.

"I don't know how many mages are?"

Hearing the emperor ask about his name, the last two of the three also stepped forward and saluted one after another.

"Poor clothes." "Poor Dao Xu Zhi." "Poor Dao Kefu."

"I'm waiting for the three saints of Xiaoshan!"

"Okay, good, a few Taoist masters are very capable! What are the skills of these mages? ”

The three of them subconsciously looked at each other, and each said some of the warlock's spells, but it was inevitable to brag, some were inconvenient to display, and some used some small means to make the emperor laugh.

Some of them used the "stealth technique" to perform the "stealth technique", which also made the emperor and the ministers amazed.

There are even people who summon ghosts in the imperial garden, and ghosts appear in the bottles they keep with them, which frightened some ministers into exclaiming.

However, the terrifying appearance of the ghost changed instantly, and she became a graceful beautiful woman, dancing in front of the emperor and the ministers, and the scale made many people look straight.

Although these methods were even obviously heretical, the emperor was very excited to see them.

It is also at this moment, in the imperial study room of Wenqing Palace nearby.

Stirred by the aura of black smoke and miasma in the palace, a sword of the Son of Heaven that had been passed down for many generations of kings and had not been moved for more than 20 years since Wuzong's death emitted a clear sharp sound

"Hum—"

The sound of the sword sounded, as if there was an invisible ripple spreading, and the ghost-shaking mage had goosebumps all over his body, and his ghost thing also retracted into the ghost raising bottle in an instant.

The light snow in the sky also stopped, and everyone in the three saints of Xiaoshan was cold.

The mage of the face saint, except for the two disciples of the high Daoist, five of the seven people were silent at this moment.
