Chapter 24: The Divine Decree Has Arrived
Outside the secret realm, Donglai Mountain suddenly disappeared on the usual incense, the scene of endless tourists, the stone steps on both sides of the road on the west foot are standing ten steps and one post guarding the officers and soldiers.
At the mountain gate of the Taiqing Palace in Linxian Peak, under the escort of a group of officers and soldiers, several officials wearing court clothes were standing on both sides of a sedan chair, watching a group of people from the Xuanmen slowly walk down from Linxian Peak.
He Daojun, the head of the Eastern Immortal Sect, was wearing a silver robe, his beard was gray, his face was ruddy, his face was rarely wrinkled, and under a pair of long eyebrows, his eyes were like bright stars, as if he could emit shimmering brilliance.
After He Daojun stood still, he put the dust in his hand on the crook of his arm, and said to the sedan chair: "He Daojun of the Eastern Immortal Sect, he led the people to see the errand, and he was far away, so he forgave his sins in person." β
The curtain of the sedan chair was respectfully opened by a little eunuch on the side of the sedan chair, and the person in the sedan chair had not yet appeared, so he first heard a shrill politeness in the sedan chair: "Hehehe... The old fairy doesn't have to be polite, we just use the light of doing things for the emperor to come to you to visit, and ask the old fairy to help me more!"
After these words, the sedan chair leaned out and walked out, this person has a pale face, slender eyes, thin lips, and no beard on the lips.
At first sight, He Daojun and the elders behind him were already tired of this "superiority", but the other party was obviously a eunuch in the court, and it was not easy to offend, so He Daojun had to continue to politely say: "I don't know what to call the superior?
The eunuch held a golden scroll in his arms and said with a smile: "I am a subordinate of the eunuch Wang An, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, the Wei Dynasty, and I have come here today to pass on a holy decree of your Eastern Immortal Sect... He Daojun, the head of the Eastern Immortal Sect, received the orderββ"
This particularly sharp shout once again aroused the disgust of the people of the Eastern Immortal Sect, but they could only kneel down to accept the order, He Daojun said respectfully: "He Daojun takes the order!"
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Today, after the establishment of the state, the Jin barbarians have repeatedly violated the Liaodong land, although my Ming Dynasty is strong and brave, I regard the Jianyu barbarians as grass mustard ants, but there are suddenly some wizards and gods in the army, and they actually shake the military prestige of our Celestial Dynasty with despicable tricks!
After Wei Chao finished the long tail note, He Daojun received the holy decree with both hands and said, "He Daojun received the decree and thanked him!"
Wei Chao smiled and stretched out his orchid finger, and continued, "This holy decree is not only passed on to your Dongxian Sect family, but also the Sanmao Sect, the Dragon and Tiger Sect, the Praruo Temple, etc., this is a good opportunity for your Dongxian Sect to make a name for itself, and it should not be taken lightly!"
"Thank you for the reminder..."He Daojun said politely.
Wei Chao nodded, looked at the few elders behind He Daojun again, and said with some disgust: "It's not close to Liaodong from here, you old immortals are not young, and you can still eat after a long journey?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Eastern Immortal Sect was resentful, and Lu Daoqing, the elder of the torture hall, said in a deep voice behind He Daojun: "If the upper chaplain thinks that our old bones are useless, you don't have to ask me to wait!"
He Daojun was also stunned by Wei Chao's unreasonable words, so even though Lu Daoqing's words were quite disrespectful to Wei Chao, he didn't say anything to ease, just squinted at this incomplete person who didn't know the depths.
Wei Chao looked at Feng Daoyu coldly and said, "It seems that this old immortal elder is not honored to welcome the holy decree..."
When Lu Daoqing heard this, he sneered: "Lu someone respects the ancestor of heaven and earth, and respects the ancestor system, as for the imperial authority..."
"Hehe, then naturally we must also respect and maintain!" Beside Lu Daoqing, an old man in a white robe with long eyebrows and a smile quietly pulled Lu Daoqing's sleeve, and answered, "The messenger must be here to share the emperor's worries, and it is definitely not for the sake of this quick tongue, so please tell the emperor what he means, and I will do it!"
This person resolved the deadlock with a few words, and also made Wei Chao's cold face soften a little, Wei Chao asked the old man: "This gentleman hit the nail on the head, dare to ask what to call it?"
The old man bowed and said, "The elder of the Eastern Immortal Sect, Xiao Daoting, please also make it clear." β
"It turned out to be Elder Xiao..."Wei Chao smiled and nodded to Xiao Daoting, "In short, your sect can send some people who are in the prime of life and have a lot of prestige in the Xuanmen, I heard that Xin Ruoping, the second son of the former head of the sect, has won the true inheritance of the two heads of the front and back, and his cultivation is profound, and he is very famous, can you see it?"
"This..."He Daojun hadn't heard the result of Xin Ruoping's discussion with Liang Yu at this time, so he turned around and looked at the two elders Feng and Lu, Elder Feng coughed a little embarrassedly, and finally Elder Lu leaned over a little and said to the master: "Ruoping he... Lost..."
He Daojun listened, his face was shocked, and he replied, "Can't come?"
Lu Daoqing replied in a low voice: "I can't come... By... In short, the injury is not light..."
"What's the matter?" Wei Chao asked angrily, "Wei is soft-spoken, he can invite a master, but he can't invite an apprentice?"
He Daojun had no time to ask at this time, not to mention that Lu Daoqing was a straight man, and there was nothing to question what he said, so He Daojun arched his hand slightly and said: "Shangcha, my apprentice is seriously injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet Shangcha for a while..."
Wei Chao was a little displeased and said, "Oh... It's not that I have to see him, it's just that before I left, a family entrusted me to ask this kid surnamed Xin to serve the country, but as the old saying goes, officials don't step on patients, since that's the case, please choose another one from Old Immortal He!"
The "generosity" of the Wei Dynasty made He Daojun feel relieved, and he turned around to look at Li Daoyuan, the elder of foreign affairs: "Since the apprentice of the senior brother has won, it is better to..."
Li Daoyuan had just heard Lu Daoqing say that Xin Ruoping had lost, and he was feeling a little happy in his heart, and he said that this apprentice really won glory for his master, so he stepped forward and bowed his hand slightly, but before he could speak, Feng Daoyu said on the side: "Uh... I'm afraid that Liang Yu is also..."
Feng Daoyu glanced at Li Daoyuan, who had a worried face, and continued: "Although Liang Yu has won, he has not been injured lightly, at this time, I think he is tired and out of strength, when Elder Lu and I came in a hurry, it seems that he was carried by Qin Ruoming and Long Jiao to the Baicao Pavilion..."
"Yo... What a coincidence!" Wei Chao glanced at everyone and said, "Who is not called, what's the matter? Don't buy the account of the head of the family, or don't buy the account of the emperor?"
As soon as Li Daoyuan saw that a good thing was about to turn into a bad thing, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Wei Shangcha, that Liang Yu is Li's apprentice, Li will order someone to call him over!"
Wei Chao finally smiled, stretched out his orchid finger and lightly pointed at Li Daoyuan: "Oh, hey! Isn't this Mr. Li! I didn't even see this blind man just now, although Fushun fell at the beginning, it was all Li Yongfang's fault for secretly defecting to the enemy! Your old gentleman defeated the prestige of the two shamans of the Tartar with one enemy and two enemies, but even the emperor was amazed! Since you have spoken, you will naturally do as you say!"
Li Daoyuan smiled while subconsciously glancing at He Daojun, and then said: "Li has a high apprentice Qin Ruoming sitting down, and his cultivation is not under Ruoping's nephew, why don't you go together?"
On such an occasion, anyone knows that it is the most important thing to deal with this eunuch first, and since He Daojun is in charge, he is by no means a narrow-minded person, at this time, his senior brother gave him a step, He Daojun naturally accepted his good intentions, nodded and said: "What the senior brother said is extremely true!"
After He Daojun finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the back of the crowd, just in time to see Zhao Xuzhong running over.
"Qi Qi Master!" Zhao Xuzhong saw that the head was looking at him, and hurriedly passed through the crowd to report, "Uncle Sun said that he is treating Uncle Xin Ruoping, I'm afraid he won't be able to come..."
He Daojun nodded: "I know about Ruoping." Go back and call Liang Yu and Qin Ruoming!"
After a while, Zhao Xuzhong rushed back, saying that Liang Yu was injured and slow, and everyone really waited for a while before seeing Liang Yu being carried all the way by Qin Ruoming to the mountain gate of the outer courtyard.
The two brothers met their own elders one by one, and they met Wei Chao under the recommendation of the head He Daojun, and Wei Chao saw Liang Yu's weak appearance, frowned and said: "This is the master recommended by your Eastern Immortal Sect?
Liang Yu's face was haggard, and the blood-stained clothes had not yet had time to be changed, and he did not look like a man of great grace, but like a dying man.
Qin Ruoming humbly explained to Wei Chao: "Senior Brother Liang has just had a competition with others, he is tired and tired, and he has also suffered some injuries, in fact, his cultivation is already at the peak among the younger generation!"
"Oh?" Wei Chao shook his shoulders and chuckled, "You are also recommended by Mr. Li and Master He, how is he better than you?"
"I ?..." Qin Ruoming was a little surprised by this question, but after a little thought, he replied, "The way of cultivation has its own merits, and it is still difficult to determine..."
Wei Chao nodded, as if he was quite satisfied with this answer, and then said arrogantly: "Are you two willing to serve the country and go to the Liaodong border pass to help break the enemy?"
"This..."Qin Ruoming looked back at He Daojun, and Liang Yu first glanced at Li Daoyuan, and when he saw that the master nodded, he looked at the head again.
The two masters nodded one after another, and the two young men also agreed to this matter, Wei Chao clapped his hands and smiled: "Haha, good, good, so I can also recover my life, ten days later, the two of you must have arrived at the border pass, and then you will have your own letter to report to the court, you two must not miss the trip!
"Congratulations on a mission!" As soon as the people of the Eastern Immortal Sect heard that the Wei Dynasty was leaving, they all said impatiently as if they were sending a plague god.
The Wei Dynasty didn't seem to have much affection for these people who had been hiding in the mountains all year round to cultivate, and without even responding, they got into a sedan chair and were escorted down the mountain by the local officials, officers and soldiers who accompanied them.
"What's the matter? You have finally been able to get out of the mountain now, but you don't look very happy anymore?" Li Daoyuan looked at his apprentice and asked with a smile.
Liang Yu saw that the disciples around him had already walked towards the mountain, and he frowned and asked the master, "The disciple has something unknown...... It seems that the people of my generation who cultivate the truth have the ability to split stones and break jade, especially the master, the master and the elders, the cultivation is even more unfathomable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the heavens and the earth and the dragon and the tiger are subdued, why dare to be angry with such a eunuch and dare not speak?"
