Chapter 4: A Curse of Trouble
Although he was not interested in practicing martial arts at all, Zhong Yangming still followed Miaoyun down the mountain. Staring at the other party's writhing waist and walking forward, it didn't feel boring. This exterminator is in really good shape, but his temperament is a little colder.
Zhong Yangming looked at the road with pure appreciation, and after a while, he arrived at the Sanqing Hall of Xuanxuanguan.
"Senior brother, let's go in." Miaoyun said to Zhong Yangming.
"Senior brother, won't you go in?" Zhong Yangming asked strangely.
"I'm a wonderful person, not among them."
After Miaoyun said this, she turned around and left.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhong Yangming felt that the exterminator's tone was even more indifferent.
Zhong Yangming didn't care, and strode into the Sanqing Palace.
Although Zhong Yangming got up early, it still took a lot of time to come down from the mountain, and at this time the morning class had already begun, and the Taoist priests were all in blue robes, shaking their heads and reciting the "Jing Xuan Sutra".
This Zhong Yangming is quite proficient in memorization, after all, it is a Taoist scripture written by the emperors of previous dynasties, who dares not to do it?
Zhong Yangming successfully joined the chanting team, reciting the ancestors' understanding and perception of the Tao. It's nothing more than words like open-mindedness, non-action, naturalness, and purity.
Although it is catchy and has a bit of a road, if you can't sleep in the middle of the night and read it repeatedly, you can see something else from these words, and the whole book is full of the word "immortal".
Whenever the emperors lamented that life was like morning dew, it was already dawning in an instant, and then they had to turn to the state of "I have seen it" stiffly.
Zhong Yangming felt that the person who compiled the book must have added a lot of Spring and Autumn penmanship, otherwise it wouldn't be so twisted to read. As a result, Xuanxuguan recites this kind of book as a Taoist classic every day, which can be imagined...... Oh, it seems that the person who compiled the book is the master of the Xuanxuan Observatory of the past dynasties, so it's okay.
Zhong Yangming was quiet and inaction, and his thoughts were wild, and he finally got through the chanting and finally had breakfast.
The reason why Zhong Yangming went down the mountain was for this breakfast.
As the flow of people crowded into the dining hall, Zhong Yangming sighed a little, the old Zhong family is too capable of giving birth, and there are so many children of the royal family who are monks, so I am afraid that there are too many people who are not monks.
The aristocratic population has swelled, and it is no wonder that people's livelihood has withered.
This emotion reaches its peak when it comes to seeing a hearty breakfast.
There are several kinds of porridge alone, and there are several tables full of various pastries, including sweet, salty, vegetarian, and meat. Although it doesn't look exquisite, as long as you can eat it, you can take it casually, and the amount is enough.
People in the south of the Yangtze River eat people, and the grain here is piled up into a hill.
Zhong Yangming looked at these people's fat and people's ointment, sighed, sighed, and began to feast. Zhong Yangming thought to himself that only by eating more for people like himself could these royal moths be less wasteful.
Wait, it seems like now he's one of the moths too.
With this complex and contradictory psychology, Zhong Yangming screwed twenty buns of various flavors into his mouth in just a moment, and he was still a little unsatisfied.
After starting to practice, Zhong Yangming felt that his appetite had improved, and his digestion ability had become much stronger, and the food that could have broken his belly was stuffed into it, and it was digested and absorbed in a short time, so he couldn't help but take two more cages.
At first, Zhong Yangming didn't attract attention, there were too many people to eat, and he had to practice later, and no one could control others. But Zhong Yangming really ate a little too much, and the steamer built high in front of him quickly attracted the attention of a group of people.
The Taoist priests of Xuanxuan began to whisper, but Zhong Yangming, whose hearing had greatly improved, could hear it clearly.
"Who's that rice bucket? Eat so much? ”
"I don't know, it's probably new. It's so edible, I'm afraid that my family can't support it, so I'm sent here to live around. ”
"Shhh, that's the Sixth Prince, who just arrived at Xuanxuguan yesterday."
"The sixth prince, the one who was demoted for insulting the emperor? Didn't you hear that you were beaten half to death and have to face the wall for decades? How would you eat here? ”
"Looking at his appearance, he doesn't have any royal dignity at all, is he fake?"
"Hehe, maybe it's just eating too much, like a pig, and His Majesty suspects that it is not his own."
……
Most of these are disrespectful words.
But Zhong Yangming didn't take it to heart and continued to concentrate on eating.
He vaguely felt that his body was thirsting for more nutrients, as if he was preparing for the next star.
Now he can eat as much as he wants, maybe he will be able to successfully order stars tonight.
It's just that there are more and more onlookers, including Yulin, who was scared by Zhong Yangming last night.
Yulin didn't sleep well all night last night, and he couldn't confirm whether Zhong Yangming was really demoted or had a temper with Emperor Lao Tzu. Originally, he just received the news that the six princes were going to be demoted to Xuanxuanguan.
And there have long been rumors in the imperial court that the crown prince does not like this sixth highness very much.
Yulin, as a side branch of the royal family, has been an iron-clad princeling for two generations, and under the advance greeting of the old man at home, let him "entertain" the sixth highness in Xuanxuguan.
After all, the opportunity to show loyalty is hard to come by, and it must be grasped well.
For a bottom like him, as long as it is possible to let the prince know his name, it is worth fighting. It's just that Yulin thought that he was ambitious and a person who did great things, but he was scared to death by Zhong Yangming's six princes.
There are always more people in this world who do not match their IQ and ambition.
And now seeing Zhong Yangming eating breakfast here like a nobody, Yulin is even more suspicious that Zhong Yangming is not disgusted by the emperor.
Otherwise, how could he still eat?
Then do you want to go over and say hello to the Sixth Highness?
Yulin was entangled, but someone patted him on the shoulder.
When I turned my head, it was a senior brother in a black robe.
"Senior Brother Miaohua?"
Xuanxuguan now has a total of four generations, divided into four generations of Xuanzhong Miaoyu. Among them, there are only five Xuanzi generation, one of which is the Guanzhu Xuanxin Zhenren, Yulin and Yuji are the youngest generation.
The jade characters wear blue uniformly, and the wonderful characters wear black uniformly, with clear hierarchies, which is convenient for calling each other.
This Senior Brother Zhou Miaohua can be regarded as a famous character in the Miaozi generation, mainly for two reasons.
First, he is the descendant of the founding general, and the Zhou family has been a general for generations, and they have made great achievements. According to the status of the family, this is the head of the Zhou family, which is much more noble than the Yulin side of the royal family.
Second, Zhou Miaohua is one of the best in martial arts among the disciples of the Miaozi generation.
Don't look at Xuanxuguan, it is a place of cultivation that pays attention to tranquility and inaction, but it is actually a gold-plated place for the children of the nobles, and it can be regarded as one of the best martial arts holy places in the world.
Cultivating immortals is ethereal, and only practicing martial arts can see the real effect. The Zhou family sent the child to Xuanxuanguan, is it really to become an immortal? It's just to pave the way for connections and to practice the profound martial arts of Xuanxuanguan.
Therefore, if the martial arts are high, the status in the Xuanxuan Temple will not be low.
Zhou Miaohua is a master of sitting on the two and looking at one in the Miao character generation, and he is naturally very famous.
And the Zhou family is also the princeling with the most distinct position.
Yulin showed a respectful expression to this senior brother, but the other party stared at Zhong Yangming with his eyes, and asked without lowering his head: "Senior Brother Yulin, you went to Houshan last night?" ”
Yulin hurriedly replied: "I have indeed been there, the Sixth Highness has come down to Xuanxuguan, and I will get acquainted with it." ”
Zhou Miaohua sneered and said: "What Sixth Highness, here, he is just a junior disciple of the jade character generation, you have to remember." ”
Yulin hurriedly said, "Remember, remember." ”
Zhou Miaohua said again: "Since you have been to the back mountain, do you know that a broom star appeared last night?" ”
"Broom Star?"
This Yulin really hasn't heard of it, he hid in his room when he went down the mountain last night, and he didn't look out the window at all.
Zhou Miaohua continued: "I was practicing last night, and I happened to see the broom star falling to the west, which is the direction of the back mountain. And he was supposed to be lying in bed with serious injuries, but today he was able to get out of bed and walk. Behold, this man is inseparable from the broom star, but is a sign of trouble. ”
Yulin said suspiciously: "But, his injuries ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Miaohua glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter, Senior Brother Yulin has other opinions?" ”
Yulin hurriedly said: "No, of course not, Senior Brother is right, he must be inseparable from the broom star." ”
Zhou Miaohua listened, smiled and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Yulin's words are reasonable, and Senior Brother I also agree with your point of view." ”
Yulin smiled awkwardly and thought: Obviously you said it, how can this become my opinion?
