Chapter 8: The Heavenly Palace

In the tailor's shop, the eldest girl gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and bought an extra three feet of new cloth, and she was always nagging in Zhou Sheng's ear, making Zhou Sheng keep rolling her eyes.

After measuring the height and size of Zhou Sheng and others, the fat proprietress picked up the scissors and danced on the cut new cloth, and her chubby hands were like two white butterflies......

The new clothes are comfortable to wear, don't look at the big girl's floral cotton jacket that looks good from the outside, in fact, the inside is full of patches. The new year, the old year, another three years of sewing and mending, a padded jacket can be worn for several years as long as the collar on the outside is changed.

Cloth is too expensive, and ordinary people are still reluctant to buy it. The silk of the Western Regions that came from the ancient silk road is much more expensive than silver. The gold utensils used by the nobles of the Western Regions, the crowns made of diamonds, and the spices used for bathing were expensive luxuries when they came to the Central Plains.

There are things everywhere, ivory, gems and the like, which are difficult to transport to the Central Plains, which is why the items are expensive. On the one hand, the road is long, and on the other hand, horse thieves are everywhere. In addition, the Western Regions are the territory of Buddhism, and wealth is generally not allowed to flow from the land, especially the great cadres who worship Taoism, which will reduce luck. What is luck, it is population, it is wealth, without wealth, there is no foundation.

This time, I bought more clothes, and I always bought less of them before, and the clothes I made were smaller after wearing them for a year, and then I connected a piece of cloth and continued to wear them.

I bought new clothes, and I was reluctant to hire a carriage, so I went.

There were sugar gourds selling on the street, and the young baby was so hungry that the eldest girl bought him a bunch. Let Zhou Sheng eat one first. Give him the rest.

Seeing that the eldest girl wanted to eat but was reluctant, Zhou Sheng's eyes were red. My nose was sore, and I almost burst into tears.

"Daughter-in-law. You have suffered, we have to live in a big house, we have to wear the best clothes, and we have to eat the best food......"

"It's not bitter, that's how life ......"

"Well, live a good life."

Both of them nodded solemnly, Zhou Sheng rubbed his slightly sour nostrils and looked up at the sky, so as not to let the tears in his eyes fall and make people laugh.

Sheng Sheng forced back the tears. Zhou Sheng smiled.

"It's a happy day like this, but unfortunately, it's not for me, how many days like this can there be......"

With a sigh, forget the unpleasantness.

See the magnificent scene of the universe, all kinds of civilizations, pursue the true meaning of shijie, the origin of the universe, and feel the most original liliang. It is the path that a monk should take in his life. In order to strengthen the Taoist heart, there are those who kill their wives and sons, their fathers and mothers, and those who exterminate humanity and slaughter thousands of people. At the same time, there is liliang. There is also less mortal pleasure.

After walking for a few hours, the heels were hot, and the soles of the feet were blistered. Qingwazi has long shouted that she is tired and can't walk. was carried by Zhou Sheng.

......

......

The Lin family's high-gate mansion has two large stone lions at the door. Two men dressed in dark blue clothes stood in front of the door, exuding a sense of spirit.

The big girl's heartbeat is a little faster. He looked himself up and down, straightened a few strands of hair that was blown up by the wind, and then nodded with satisfaction and stepped forward with Zhou Sheng.

was stopped by two family members, and the eldest girl reported her identity.

A family member glanced at it disdainfully, a little contemptuous, and said lightly: "Wait, I'll go in and ......."

No matter how you look at it, it smells like poor relatives going to the city.

After a while, I was told that I could go in.

Walk through the nave to the backyard. Along the way, the maids took a look at the pavilions, and then whispered. The identities of the eldest girl and the green baby are a little difficult to say, but everyone almost understands that illegitimate children always have to be shorter.

In the backyard, a woman in her thirties, with a decent appearance and a pale yellow dress, had been waiting here for a long time, and when she saw the big girl coming, she hurriedly walked a few steps, touched the big girl's cheek, and kissed the green baby on the face, and then hugged her head and cried.

This should be Miss Lin, who was a little impulsive back then.

The eldest girl looked at the woman who was crying bitterly, opened her mouth, and wanted to shout 'Mom' but couldn't. Instead, the green baby shouted, and the woman closed her mouth happily, laughing and crying.

"Okay, my girl, my baby, it's really hard for you."

"It's not bitter, the money you gave us can be spent for many years, and the life of the family is okay, I found a husband a few days ago for you to see."

The eldest girl pulled Zhou Sheng over, Zhou Sheng smiled faintly and didn't shout anything. With his heart and pride, it is really difficult to obtain his permission if he is not too close to someone, even if this person is the mother of his wife.

Zhou Sheng's heart is arrogant, it's not that he looks down on people, he used to be just a poor scholar who didn't have a meal. This is just the truest feeling in his heart after his life awakened.

......

The woman glanced at Zhou Sheng up and down, although she didn't say anything, but her eyebrows showed some dissatisfaction. Zhou Sheng is not a dignitary, nor is he a rich party, in the hearts of women, he is really not worthy of his daughter.

Zhou Sheng didn't bother to compete with her.

The woman took the eldest girl's hand and went into the house, took out the candy, and entertained the young baby.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a green shirt, walked in with a warm smile and said with a smile: "The big girl and the green baby are here, quickly take out the dates I bought two days ago......

"Hey, look at my brain, go get it, the dates are sweet!" the woman laughed, and went to the back room to get something.

Zhou Sheng thought to himself, this middle-aged man should be the husband his mother-in-law was looking for.

This situation is inevitably embarrassing, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, and there was no haode topic, so he called his two sons out and played with Qingwazi.

These two boys are much younger than Qingwazi, only seven or eight years old, and they should be the two younger brothers of the eldest girl. Children are not sensible, and it is easy to play together, diluting a little embarrassment.

......

At noon, when it was time to eat, the woman began to interrogate Zhou Sheng's various details, and it seemed that she was still not at ease. The eldest girl pulled Zhou Sheng's sleeve, lest he lose his temper and fight with others.

Zhou Sheng patted the back of her hand. Signaling not to worry, he smiled and said his own routine.

"Your name is Zhou Sheng, right? I'll call you Xiaosheng, since you're married to my daughter. I don't have much to say as a mother, as long as you make my daughter happy, don't ask for great wealth, this child has suffered all his life, he has no mother since he was a child, and he has to take care of his father and brother......"

"Yes".

In the afternoon, the eldest girl chatted with the woman, and the woman also asked the maid to prepare the guest room, and the eldest girl was ready to stay for a few days before leaving. The road is far away, it is not easy to come once, and she and Zhou Sheng have not found a job, and they have to go out to search for two days, if there is really no haode job, and then pack and go home, although there is no paddy field at home, but those family properties are enough for a few people to eat.

But at this time, the antique old man Lin heard the wind and raised his crutches. and he wants to get rid of the seed of iniquity.

Zhou Sheng looked at his complexion, his eyebrows were narrow, his cheeks were concave, and his spine was left-handed. The earlobes are blue, not a good complexion, an old antique.

The old antique was stopped by two middle-aged men. It looks like it should be his two sons, that is, the eldest aunt's uncle. As for the other Lin family. They all didn't dare to step forward on the sidelines, or to watch the excitement.

"Ahem. Don't stop me, I have to get rid of these two evil seeds today, this is the source of calamity. The immortal chief of the year told my fortune, the first half of it was fulfilled, these two demons were really born, if it weren't for them, my Lin family would be in great trouble, you would all die unexpectedly, and the inheritance of my Lin family for hundreds of years was broken in one thought......"

The old antique shouted to get rid of the demon, and the crutch was held high.

One of his sons next to him persuaded: "Father, what age is it, the fortune-telling immortal back then was a charlatan, what could he calculate." It's all a family, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you can't shout and kill like this, how will you live in the future."

The old antique's ears were a little difficult, and his son whispered it in his ear several times before he understood. But even if he heard it clearly, he would continue to make trouble, and it would not be too late not to kill the eldest girl and their sister and brother.

In order to stop the old man from making trouble, the two of them directly put the old antique back.

......

......

The blue sky is like washing, like silk.

A palace floats on the clouds, drifting in the wind.

There are thousands of futons in the palace, some large and some small, the big ones are dozens of feet, but the small ones are only the size of a palm, and they can only accommodate a mouse to sit on.

In the center of the futon, there is a statue of a hundred meters high, with a human body, a young man, but with two white wings on his back, and holy white feathers on it.

Looking at the appearance of the palace, there should be people who often preach here, as for the creatures who listen to the Tao, there are also various races, but there are still human beings, more than the rest of the races combined, who makes human beings naturally enlightened, born with intelligent life! This is incomparable to other races.

The wind blew, and two divine souls and thoughts descended on the two most advanced futons, one of which was Liu Ling, the former emperor's uncle. The other was a man who exuded loneliness, his eyes were vicissitudes, there were a few strands of white hair on his temples, and a face that no one could enter.

"Gu Hong, I didn't expect you to come too, you have walked the world, you have seen it for so many years, why haven't you broken through the Sage?"

"If you can't find that glimmer of light, you can't step out of that threshold after all, and further expand the sea and sky......"

There are so many people in the world who have practiced Gang perfectly, and there is not a single saint in a thousand people. As for these thirty false saints, there can be three or four saints, which is such a high probability, which is the reason why even saints do not want to offend these false saints, maybe one day this false saint will break through and stand side by side with you, no one wants to have another enemy of the same level.

This palace is called the White Feather Hall, and it is the residence of the White Feather Sage, one of the eight great sages of the Junshan Society.

Right!

The Junshan Society has eight saints, a full eight, and with such a powerful combat power, it is still at a disadvantage in the struggle with the imperial court. The liliang of the imperial court is too strong, and the sage alone, there are three dukes, the lord of the army, the god of war, and one on the astrological platform, and the general of Shenwei is left and right, and there are eight of them. Zuihou also has Emperor Ming, I believe there is also a hidden imperial heritage, far more terrifying than Junshan, plus the support of Taoism and Buddhism, it is very strong.

The horror of the top liliang, this is also the reason why Junshan will be at a disadvantage.

A sage thought descended on the statue, and the two white wings behind the statue suddenly came to life, and the white feathers on them sowed holy light.

Holy, full of purifying power, bright, majestic......

"See the White Feather Sage!" Liu Ling and Gu Hong both bowed and saluted, there was still a big gap between the False Saint and the Sage.

The White Feather Sage was smiling, giving people the feeling of Heavenly Father. There were three layers of white holy light on the back of his head, and the white light released was hotter than the sun.

"No need to be polite. I just got the news that Emperor Ming has returned from the extraterritorial starry sky and is about to descend on the South China Sea, where something big has happened. And a few days ago, the Heaven Splitting Sea Sage was besieged by the imperial court and the people of the Dao Gate and the Buddha Gate, and he was seriously injured, although he did not die, but he could not recover within a hundred years, and he was about to fight a decisive battle, and our side lost such an important combat power, which was very unfavorable to the battle situation, and you had to break through quickly......"

"Yes, Sage"

The White Feather Sage smiled, and the three auras behind his head flew out and landed in front of the two of them.

"These are the three 'Angel Rings' that I have condensed, one for each of you, which can purify the liliang in your body, making it more pure, fair, and mellow as gild. The remaining one, just bring it to the king of the comet for me, he is also the main force in the decisive battle in early spring, and the leader needs his liliang and life star ......"

"Thank you, Sage!"

The two of them were slightly happy, and they put the day into their bodies, and between their breaths, the pores emitted a holy white light, and two white air columns penetrated from the nostrils, changing various shapes. There is a snort in the body, and impurities are refined.

This angelic ring is truly wonderful.

"There is a drastic change in Qingzhou, the comet that crossed the sky fell there, go find him, you go to the South China Sea together, our Liliang has been mobilized to the South China Sea, this will be the decisive battle with the imperial court Zuihou, but also the biggest collision, we must not lose. Don't let me down......"

"Yes, Sage. However, this matter still depends on the combat power of the Sage to make the decisive factor, and in the war, the existence of a Sage is really important......."

"Don't worry, the 'First Sage' has reached an agreement with the imperial court, before the decisive battle, the Sage will not interfere in secular battles again, nor will he conduct holy wars between holy wars, the last time the sea splitting incident sounded the alarm for everyone, and no one wants to kill and kill again......"

There was a slight tiredness in the words of the White Feather Sage, who can be relaxed in an eventful time, even the Sage is inevitable!
