Chapter 67: Dao Ancestor
"Tomorrow" has arrived, and it is today.
The camp bed was a little hard, but it was strong enough for his spine and allowed him to sleep well last night. When I opened my eyes, Wen Yuan, who was in the next bed next to me, had already gone out.
"Did you go to practice so early... Qi practitioners are really. He muttered.
"No, Lu Liangcai is going to practice, I'm going out for breakfast." Wen Yuan poked his head in, "You should hurry up too." ”
"Hmm."
Somehow, Shang Luo wasn't nervous at all—perhaps because things were so big that it was useless to be nervous. The whole person is numb, and he is numb 360°, and he is numb back to his original place.
"I say, Miss Apollonia, you seemed to be quiet yesterday?"
[Afraid... Afraid...]
"How can you be so scared in front of anyone other than me! Are you a social phobia or what? ”
[Because I don't know them well... And I will never be able to get acquainted with them. You are the only one who can hear me. 】
"And what are you afraid of?"
[I'm afraid of the unknown, because I don't understand where Dao Ancestor is sacred. He is of the same origin as the Divine Machine, but he is far greater and more complete than the Divine Machine. You're about to see him soon. Let's go have breakfast. 】
Breakfast was surprisingly fast. Lu Huaiyang had already gone out earlier, and he had some preliminary work to do. Before going out, he left two 50 Wen sheets on the table and asked Shang Luo and Wen Yuan to buy breakfast by themselves.
The only thing that can be eaten in Confucius Temple is breakfast. Because there are only a few things for breakfast, you can make some famous dishes after a long time. Shang Luo ate glutinous rice steamed rice wrapped with fried dough sticks and white sugar stuffing as before. The combination of carbs plus carbs and carbs immediately lifted his spirits, and it was even more flavorful when paired with glutinous rice siu mai.
"Have you eaten enough?" Wen Yuan, who was on the other side of the table, suddenly asked him.
"Why do you sound like you're going to send me on my way..."
"Uh... I see that you have eaten a lot, and I wonder if you have just awakened your true qi. At that time, I also suddenly ate a lot. ”
"It's so fast, it's just a matter of eating some carbohydrates to adjust your mood. The feeling is a little complicated now, like waiting for my birth at the door of the delivery room. ”
"What a weird metaphor... But I can probably understand. ”
"By the way, what about Lu Liang?"
"We occupy her yard, so she has to go out in the morning to practice. It stands to reason that she should come back at this time, maybe she doesn't want to come back - after all, she is not a brocade guard, so she can't go with her. ”
"And when are we leaving?"
"I don't know." He looked down at his watch, "Actually, it's mainly to wait for the Son of Heaven to get up, because the door is in the hands of the Son of Heaven." If the Son of Heaven doesn't open the door, none of us can enter. It's half past seven, and the Son of Heaven should have just been..."
"The Son of Heaven is ready." Lu Huaiyang suddenly appeared at the door, "Have you finished eating?" Leave when you're done. The Son of Heaven had already gone to open the door first—I had never seen him get up so early. ”
"Ah, right now." Wen Yuan stuffed the siu mai into his mouth, and Shang Luo on the opposite side was pouring soy milk.
"Then you guys eat quickly, the car is at the door, I'll get in the car first and wait."
Drying his mouth with a tissue, Shang Luo followed Wen Yuan and walked out from the gate - there was an iron wall in front of him, and there was no such wall yesterday.
"This way." Lu Huaiyang beckoned at one end of the iron wall and motioned for Shang Luo to come around to the back. It was only then that he realized that it was an armored car, and it was surprisingly large. The car almost occupies Wuyi Alley, and the two sides can only pass sideways.
"Is Jinyiwei's special car like this?"
"The 'Dangkang' armored transport vehicle specially opened for you and seconded from the forbidden army can ensure your safety even if it is crushed by a mine. The traffic police are already waiting outside the Confucius Temple, and as soon as we get on the road, there will be traffic police in front of us to ensure that you can go all the way to the Grand Palace and will not be stuck in the middle of the morning rush hour. ”
...
Lu Huaiyang is right, there is indeed no stopping on this road. The seats of the armored transport vehicle were surprisingly spacious, each seat was extremely wide, and even one or two more people could be crammed into the gap between the seats. The car is as smooth as gliding on ice, and there are no bumps along the way.
Half an hour later, the delivery cart stopped.
The car door opens, and the back door is facing the inscription "Dismount Fang".
"Get out of the car, we're here."
In the shade of green trees, the Xiamafang stood there, and the piece had not been changed from beginning to end. This is the entrance to the Tomb of Filial Piety, and it is now also used as one of the entrances to the Grand Palace.
Why the imperial palace was built next to the imperial tomb is a difficult question to answer. But this seems to be in line with Emperor Taizu's conception, because the imperial palace and the imperial tomb in the imperial city of Zhongdu are next to each other, separated by only one wall. Now Xiaoling is not only used as the imperial tomb of Emperor Taizu, but also the imperial tombs of the previous emperors are all in it. Even if he is the emperor, he can't open up another land in Yujing now.
"Where are we going to be in Xiaoling?"
"On the side." Lu Huaiyang led the way in front. Walking through the boulevard of Xiamafang, a road appeared in front of you. A passenger car that was beating pills in the field has stopped there.
"Aren't you going to dismount?"
"yes, we've done it. Emperor Taizu said that he would dismount outside, but he didn't say that he couldn't go down inside and go on again. And it's a dismount workshop, not a drop-off workshop, we can take the car, it's not a big problem. Get in the car, it's almost there. ”
Walking north along the avenue, the car drove in the direction of Xiaoling with a few people. One kilometer to the east is parallel to the Hyoreung Shinto, which is the Suzaku Avenue of the Grand Palace. The courtiers are gathering on Suzaku Road, preparing to go to the Fengtian Hall to go to the court—but the Son of Heaven is not there, the Son of Heaven is here.
The car slowly turned in front of the gate of the filial piety tomb and walked north along the wall of the filial piety tomb. The entrance to the cave appeared in front of you, but instead of a cold and dark cave, it was a tunnel illuminated by electric lights. The road was repaired all the way to the tunnel, and at the mouth of the tunnel stood two brocade guards wearing flying fish suits.
The two brocade guards saluted the incoming car and let them to the side of the road.
Entering the tunnel, the trolley travels through the pillars of light of the spotlights. Every time you pass by a light, you go deeper into the Purple Mountain.
The view on both sides has not changed. Because the road turns slightly to the right, you can't see the exit or end of the tunnel in front of or behind.
Finally, the car came to the end of the tunnel.
The gate of the palace is built in the rock, the gate is half-hidden, and there are also two brocade guards here.
Seeing Shang Luo's figure, the two brocade guards also got out of the way and gave way to the gate.
"Dao Ancestor is inside the door?"
"There's another door inside." Lu Huaiyang is still leading the way ahead.
The small door enters a wall, and after the wall, the space suddenly opens up. The dome is lined with crystals and the stars are arranged, and rivers of mercury flow in closed glass pipes. The whale oil lamp was always on, illuminating the gates of the inner palace.
