Chapter 764: Disguised Business Travel
In the whole of Middle-earth, among the many sects of the Daomen, the True Martial Arts Temple is regarded as the highest status of the Daomen, even now that the power of the Buddha Kingdom is gradually overshadowing the Immortal Realm.
In Middle-earth, there are too many Buddhist temples that have been built, and many immortal sects have been forced to give up the mountain, and the status of being enshrined as immortals is not guaranteed, and they can only rely on a small number of believers to barely maintain, and even many Taoist sects are forced to choose to escape from the world.
The status of Zhenwuguan is still long-lasting, monopolizing a blessed land like Zhongnan Mountain, and no Buddhist temple dares to build in Zhongnan Mountain, and even the monks of Buddhism dare not approach Zhongnan Mountain.
It can be seen that this Daomen, which has the longest inheritance, can be regarded as a truly powerful sect in Middle-earth, with a large number of believers, and many children of the royal family worship in it.
It is precisely because of the status of Zhenwuguan that the disciples of Zhenwuguan have gradually become a little pampered and arrogant, and always put on an arrogant face in front of outsiders, although this invisibly consolidates the status of Zhenwuguan, but it also offends many people.
Like today's Zimo, they stopped Lu Xiusi and the others, I don't know how many times it happened before, most of the time the disciples of the True Martial Arts Temple were able to use strong words and reason, and finally got what they wanted by virtue of their own identity.
It's just that this time, the opponents they faced were different, it could be said that they were an iron plate within an iron plate, and Du Liniang's identity alone made Zimo and the others dare not be presumptuous at will.
Now Zimo only begs Du Liniang not to hold herself accountable, and will not tell them the elders of the True Martial Arts Sect about this incident, if that is the case, they will inevitably be punished by the elders of the sect, and even the group of juniors and sisters around them, there may be people who are directly abolished by the elders of the sect.
Du Liniang didn't mean to pursue it, she glanced at Zimo's humble appearance, and whispered to Lucius: "Forget about this matter, if the master behind them knows, I'm afraid that this matter will be a little unfavorable for us to enter Middle-earth this time." β
Christine was a little unhappy when she heard this. He cried out in a low voice, "Why? Why don't you go to their sect and sue them? These people are obviously used to acting as a bully, and I bet it's not the first time they've done this, and I don't know how many people have been victimized." β
Caroline, who has always been jealous and hateful, also echoed: "I also think that I should report them, and if I look at them like this, I should have cut them down directly by relying on my identity at every turn and robbing other people, and it would be cheaper to denounce them." β
Du Liniang saw that the two girls were a little angry, so she gently scratched their noses and said, "You two have a strong sense of justice." This matter cannot be reported. β
Immediately afterwards, Du Liniang explained: "If we denounce them, we will inevitably be known by their sect about our whereabouts, and if we know our existence, Zhenwuguan will definitely rule the ruler of the Tang Empire, and when we want to enter the Tang Empire, we will be guarded again." β
Speaking of this, Du Liniang added: "Do you remember the prince of the Tang Empire before? He already knows about our existence, but he must have thought that we were still in Fusang, and he couldn't have guessed that we would come to Middle-earth so soon, and he would definitely arrange a means against us." β
"And we're bound to be taken by surprise. We don't give the other party time to prepare, so we can't expose our identities too early, lest we be guarded against by the Tang Empire when we get it, and wait for us to enter the Tang Empire. After meeting the two saints of the Tang Empire, and getting the approval of the two saints, it is not too late to denounce them. β
After listening to Du Liniang's explanation, Caroline and Christine were speechless. Everyone then looked at Lucius, as if they wanted Lucius to make a decision.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lucius shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said, "Hehe." Don't look at me like that, I don't really have a problem. β
Seeing that Lucius said that he had no opinion, Christine suddenly muttered and said: "Lucius, I find that you are really getting more and more slippery, always avoiding the important and trivial, unwilling to offend everyone, hum, you are really a cunning guy, I suspect that my brother has been arrested by you a long time ago." β
Hearing Christine mention Noko, after listening to Christine's arguments for herself, Lucius said helplessly: "Okay, I'm cunning, right? I just don't want to express my opinion, why did I become a slippery head? Hey, it's really hard to be a good person." β
Seeing that Lu Xius agreed with her opinion, Du Liniang immediately stood up and said to Zimo and the others: "I will not pursue your offense this time, but I want to warn you, don't just act outside casually, and use the reputation accumulated by your elders for many years to do those dirty things." β
was taught by Du Liniang, Zimo and the others naturally did not dare to refute, and they all agreed to accept it one by one, and then hurriedly left under the leadership of Zimo.
Seeing those people leaving, Lucius sat on the dragon head again, patted Ao Mang and said, "Okay, you saved your life this time, now let's go and go to the capital of the Tang Empire." β
Ao Mang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly flew up, carrying Lucius and others, and flew straight towards the capital of the Tang Empire.
Not long after Ao Mang and them left, Zimo stepped on the flying sword again, and when he saw the back of Lu Xiusi and the others leaving, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to himself: "I really didn't expect to meet the group of people mentioned by the king of Linzi County, almost, I almost offended them." β
At this time, another young man who came back with Zimo stepping on the sword asked Zimo in a low voice, "Senior Brother Zimo, do we want to sue the elders of the sΓΉ sect about this matter?"
Zimo shook his head and said: "No, don't tell the sΓΉ master for the time being, you go back first, remember not to tell the elders of the sΓΉ master, I will go to Chang'an, and first tell the king of Linzi about this matter, so that the king of Linzi will be prepared, so that he will not suffer the loss of these people." β
After explaining, Zimo stepped on the flying sword and took off, and the young man who followed Zimo saw Zimo stepping on the sword, but he didn't stop, and chased after the junior brothers and sisters who left first according to what Zimo said.
However, it is said that Lucius and others relied on Ao Mang, all the way to the sky above Middle-earth from south to north, and within a few days they came to the vicinity of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire in Middle-earth.
Lu Xius did not let Ao Mang directly enter the territory of Chang'an, but landed far outside Chang'an, and then the group made some disguises, transformed into a group of merchants from the Western Regions, and began to continue to move in the direction of Chang'an in a carriage.
Along the way, Lucius and the others also met a lot of merchants from the Western Regions, these people were from those small countries west of Middle-earth and east of the Sand Sea, they were unimpeded in the territory of the Tang Empire, and almost no one would check them at will along the way.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that the Tang Empire did have a broad and tolerant heart, and would not restrict merchants from foreign countries, but was able to accept foreign people and cultures with an open mind.
After traveling for a while, Lucius and his team became acquainted with some merchants from the Western Regions, and soon integrated into one of the larger caravanserais.
Although the territory of the Tang Empire was peaceful and prosperous, the officials along the way were very fair and honest, and there were no so-called robbers along the way, most of the merchants in the Western Regions still wanted to travel together.
In this way, they can exchange some ideas, and at the same time, they can also take the opportunity to exchange some goods, after all, the goods that have not yet been bought and sold must be much cheaper than what they get in the market, so most merchants like to travel together.
Under the organization of some powerful merchants, it is natural to form a large caravan, and these caravans will travel in tandem with each other, which will also make Lucius's journey no longer boring.
For several days, Lucius squatted in the tents of some of the caravan's old men, listening to the old men recount some of the conditions in Middle-earth over the years.
Through the mouths of those old merchants, Lucius basically had some understanding of the current situation in the Tang Empire, and gradually understood how he should enter the Tang Empire and enter the vision of the two saints of the Tang Empire, so as to gain the trust of those two monarchs and snatch back the opportunity from the descendants of the King of Hearts.
In most people's rumors, the two saints of the Tang Empire do not seem to be harmonious, and there are still many contradictions between the two saints, and it is even rumored that the two saints do not live together in the palace.
And these rumors have all spread from the court, and some of them are speculations made by some well-intentioned people according to the scores of many ministers in the court and different camps.
However, Lecius heard a completely different voice from the mouth of an old businessman, who was the owner of an old chamber of commerce, who was worth a lot of money, and also had an extraordinary identity and status in the Tang Empire, and was the guest of honor at the banquets of many ministers.
And he had the good fortune to have met the Second Sage, not in the Imperial Palace, nor at the meeting where the Second Sage summoned a large number of merchants.
According to the old businessman, it was the second saint who traveled in disguise at that time, and he only learned afterwards that those two people were the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen of the Tang Empire.
When the old merchant recalled the scene at that time, he couldn't help but get excited: "At that time, Lao Yu was still a young man, but at that time, the two saints had already begun to approach the dynasty at the same time, and many things were decided by the two saints together, and the Tang Empire had shown today's prosperity. β
"That day, the two saints went to the microservice, it looked like a newlywed couple, when the two walked together, they could be described as each other, respectful and affectionate to each other, if it wasn't for being told afterwards, I still can't believe that the two people at that time would be the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen. β
"The world says that the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen are not in harmony, but in fact, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen are very affectionate, and they can be said to have nothing to say between them, compared to many couples who have different dreams in the same bed, they are simply like one person, many times the other party gestures and makes a look, and the other person will quickly understand. β
Speaking of this, the old merchant sighed, looked at Lecius and said, "Young man, what you may not imagine is that the Holy Empress personally served the Holy Emperor to eat at that time, and when she even put on our felt carpet, the Holy Empress personally bowed down to take off the Holy Emperor's boots. β
The old merchant's words really shocked Lucius, if it was according to what the old merchant said, then the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen were indeed very affectionate. (To be continued......)
