Luo Kedi, the leader of the Xiling Temple, was a tall middle-aged man, and when he put on the armor, his whole person was like a metal fortress that could move. But when he knelt before the curtain of light, before the huge figure, he was as humble as a confucian, like a thin servant.

Because he was originally the most loyal servant of the head of the Xiling Temple.

He is the guardian dog of the peach mountain of the Xiling Temple.

"The temple needs strength, more than ever, since that red fish is gone, you are responsible for getting her back, if she no longer has power, then for the sake of the temple's dignity, I allow you to kill her, and then you go and find some other strength to come back. ”

The Master of the Sect stood in the light and said calmly.

The enemy bowed and bowed, like a mountain of gold toppling.

The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle returned to his own throne, returned to his own throne, his old palm gently caressed the divine seat woven by the sunflower vine, looking at the hundreds of deacons and officials of the Heavenly Oracle Division kneeling on the floor of the temple, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as the cracks between the cliffs of Peach Mountain.

Cheng Lixue waved his hand and motioned for the people who came to see the Divine Throne to disperse, and then he walked to the side of the Divine Throne and said in a low voice: "It happened after all." ”

The Heavenly Oracle said, "This is not the big thing I calculated. ”

Cheng Lixue was shocked and speechless, thinking to herself that he had rebelled and left Momoyama, if this was not a big deal, then what was the big thing that would happen to the Ruling Division in the Divine Throne calculation?

"That really big thing hasn't happened yet. ”

The Great Priest of Heaven said tiredly: "The fate of the world is destined by Haotian, and the rotation of the wheel of life said by Buddhism is actually the same thing, what should happen is destined to happen after all, but it will happen later." ”

Maybe it was because of exhaustion, or maybe it was because of the continuous meetings with the Grand Priest of the Judgment and the Master of the Sect, the wrinkles in the corners of the eyes of the Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle became deeper and deeper, and the depth was a little terrifying.

Cheng Lixue looked at the wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes, and a lot of worries welled up in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask directly, and asked tentatively: "I don't know where Ye Hongyu is now." ”

The Heavenly Oracle Grand Priest smiled and said, "This kind of thing doesn't need to be calculated...... Since that idiot rarely avoided leaving Xiling, he naturally went to Chang'an. ”

Cheng Lixue's expression was slightly different, and she didn't understand why the divine seat was so sure.

"Haotian Shenhui shines on the world, except for Chang'an City, where else can she be able to build her body?"

The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle sighed, then smiled and said, "Fortunately, Chang'an is a good city, and you can see and learn some interesting things. ”

Cheng Lixue listened to the Divine Seat's evaluation of Chang'an City, and suddenly thought of her experience at the side gate of Chang'an Academy, and frowned slightly and said: "That is indeed a very interesting city, Ning Que fought with Liu Yiqing at the side gate of the Academy, He Mingchi actually sensed Ning Que's magic before me. ”

He Mingchi is the apprentice of Li Qingshan, the master of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, at the side gate of the academy, Ning Que slashed at Liu Yiqing with a knife, and the divine brilliance was great, and the cultivators in the field couldn't understand it at all, only Cheng Lixue and He Mingchi reacted.

Cheng Lixue smashed through the wall of the carriage.

He Mingchi crushed the wheels of the carriage.

Cheng Lixue was the chief priest of the Heavenly Oracle Division of the Xiling Divine Temple, it was not surprising that he could judge that Ning Que was performing a divine skill so quickly, why was He Mingchi able to do this?

Recalling the scene at that time, Cheng Lixue frowned and said, "I can confirm that He Mingchi's realm should still be above me, and it is definitely not as weak as rumored." ”

"For hundreds of years in the Xiling Temple, the greatest wish of countless generations of masters is to invite Haotian South Gate back, in addition to those boring dignity and reputation, of course, it is also because the colleagues in the South Gate have their own extraordinary, since Senior Brother Qingshan is the Great Tang Dynasty National Teacher, how can his successor really be as unbearable as rumored?"

The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle said slowly: "Dao idiots go to Chang'an City here, I don't know what impact it will have on the relationship between the temple and the south gate, after all, it will be a matter of the future. ”

Cheng Lixue thought about what had happened in the temple recently, thinking about the attitude of the master of the sect and the judgment throne, and said in a slightly astringent voice: "I think it's hard to go back to Taoshan again.

The Great Priest shook his head and said, "She's going to come back after all. ”

Cheng Lixue was puzzled and said, "Why are you so sure?"

The Great Priest of Heaven sighed and said, "If she doesn't return to Momoyama, how can the great event that is destined to happen happen in the Ruling Division?"

Xiling entered the summer, and Chang'an City also entered the summer.

In Chang'an City in early summer, it was not too hot to bear, but the sun in the sky was already blazing and boring, and the bluestone slabs in the afternoon began to be hot.

The renovation project on the shore of Yanming Lake continued, and in order to end the renovation project of the lakeside before the arrival of Weixia, the construction team greatly accelerated the speed under the double pressure of the silver money and the fish and dragon gang.

From morning till night, the sound of knocking and polishing kept echoing in the courtyard of the lakeside house, but fortunately, the original residents had already moved away, otherwise it would be getting hotter and hotter, and they would be tormented by the noise, and there might be some kind of conflict.

As time passed, the project entered the final stage, and Ning Que took the formation diagram carefully drawn by the seventh senior sister and began to go deep into the construction.

After all, the money was sprinkled in place, and the prestige of the fourth master of the Fish and Dragon Gang was too loud, so although the construction masters thought that Ning Que's designs were unreasonable, they did not do too much resistance.

The renovation of the lakeside house gradually took shape, and the formation of the seventh senior sister also gradually took shape, and then it was hidden among the flowers and plants on the cornices and pink walls.

The project is not over, Ning Que and Sang Sang still live in Lao Bizhai, and when they heard the news that they were going to move out, the merchants in Lane 47 breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a little reluctant, thinking that if this big man left, those men in green clothes of the Fish Dragon Gang would definitely not be here to maintain law and order, and the officials of Chang'an Mansion would definitely not come over several times a day.

Ning Que didn't know what people were thinking, he was really too busy these days, he had to go to the mountain behind the academy to study, he had to keep an eye on the renovation project by the lake, and he had to enter the palace often.

The goal of entering the palace is, of course, to enter the small wooden building that carries the safety of the entire Chang'an City on his shoulders, and it also involves his plans, so he must be familiar with the amazing array as much as possible.

Everyone in the world praised his talent in the rune path, and the rune array was originally a common technique, it stands to reason that he should soon be able to master the big array left by his master Yan Se, but unfortunately, his talent seems to have been squandered too much in the rune path and other paths, and he didn't leave a few points for the formation.

However, Ning Que has never been a person who retreats when he knows difficulties, since he must comprehend and master this big array, then these frustrations will not hit him at all, he has taken out the usual means of making up for his clumsiness, splitting the book mountain with a knife, as long as he can spare time, he will enter the palace to study.

His Majesty the Emperor greatly appreciated his attitude and allowed him to enter the palace at any time When he walked out of the small building tired, the emperor would not let him go, but would arrest him into the imperial study.

After entering the palace more than ten times in a row, he became familiar with the leader of the Yulin Army in the palace, became more familiar with the guards, became familiar with his father-in-law and palace maids, and even became a little familiar with the queen mother who grinded ink in the imperial study every day, but he was still not too familiar with the big array of Chang'an City.

But that doesn't mean he didn't get some benefits from it.

In addition to some benefits that cannot be spoken to people, the biggest benefit he has obtained is the countless ancient trees on the shore of Yanming Lake, as well as those things that are constantly sent into the courtyard.

The purchase documents and the title deed of the house by Yanming Lake are written in the name of Chao Xiaoshu, but such a big movement is impossible to hide from too many people after all.

Li Yu was the first person to know about this matter, so she gave Ning Que a gift that was definitely worthy of the status of Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Tang Empire.

Now the countless ancient trees newly transplanted on the shore of Yanming Lake have been dug up from her own fiefdom, which is really a huge gesture, and money can't buy it.

His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Mother also knew that he was repairing a new home, and the Empress Niang picked a number of antiques from the inner treasury of the palace to reward him, and His Majesty rewarded Ning Que with a lot of ink treasures.

This is the only thing that Ning Que is not satisfied with.

Time passes, Chang'an City from the early summer to Weixia, the cicadas in the academy are getting louder and louder, the city heat gradually becomes the renovation project of the Yanming Lakeside is officially completed, more than ten houses that have been divided into separate courtyards have been opened up and the old walls that are soft by the lake air have been painted, the narrow alley that runs through the houses has been transformed into a stone path in the garden, the flowers and plants are blooming vigorously, it is very quiet and beautiful.

The merchants of Lin47 Lane plucked up the courage to launch a fake antique shop, Boss Wu and Aunt Wu took the lead, and invited Ning Que and Wang Servant to have a farewell banquet, and the two of them ended their years in Lin47 Lane.

That night, Ning Que and Sang Sang moved to the house by Yanming Lake.

All the furniture and things have been bought by the brothers in the Fish Dragon Gang, and how to fill the dozen or so courtyards that are so large without giving Sang Sang a headache.

Under the strong request of Qi Siye, Ning Que kept the old pen house, anyway, Chao Xiaoshu had already exempted him from rent for many years, but the old pen house would never sell books again.

I think that when the spring rain falls next year, there will be no more unambitious young calligraphers in the shop called Libizhai, and there will be no middle-aged people with umbrellas outside the threshold.

Accompanied by the chirping of cicadas and unknown insects, Ning Que and Sangsang strolled along the stone path by Yanming Lake, and the beautiful mansions behind them were their new home.

Countless ancient trees on the shore of the lake make the stone paths and houses extremely quiet, and the temperature seems to be much lower when the lake breeze passes through it, which is completely different from the sultry heat in the alleys of Zhufang in Chang'an.

Sang Sang thought about the picture of Ning Que lying on the bamboo hoop outside the back door two years ago, constantly soaking his body with well water, and chatting with the neighbors, he couldn't help but feel like a world away.

"I never thought we could live in such a big house. ”

In the past, they lived in caves, tree houses, and small courtyards in Weicheng, and they had imagined countless times what kind of big mansion they would live in when they were rich - now they are strolling in their own mansion by the lake, and they know that their imagination back then was so shabby.

"Nice, isn't it?"

Ning Que asked.

Sangsang nodded and said, "It's better than very good." ”
