Volume 1 The Long Night in the Sky Chapter 71 I Am the Beacon
The Ming King taught the altar on the large flat, and the father-in-law beside the empress was holding a wooden tray with some objects on it, Shi Shiran came to the ten people who had reached the top the fastest and explained:
"You are very good, Your Majesty said, to be able to climb to the top of the mountain so quickly is enough to prove your perseverance, I have here the Qingyun jade of our Beiyou Imperial Court, you quickly took it, with this jade, any yamen in Beiyou will receive a silver coin every month, this is our Majesty's cherished talent, you have to seize the opportunity." ”
When everyone heard this, they stepped forward to take the jade and saluted to the high platform where the empress was.
For those who climb the ladder and hope to rise to the top, it is natural to achieve the goal, but most of the people in the rivers and lakes who can get close to the center through this method are not even a small fish in this river and lake, and the court's move is nothing more than a friendship, if these people are willing to serve the court in the future, it is also a business that does not lose money, if it is a meat bun and a dog, it is nothing to the country of Beiyou.
At this time, the empress sat firmly on the high platform and said seemingly casually:
"Lord Liufu, the one dressed in white is Song Jing, who is known as the little snow lotus of the Heavenly Sea, you are a high-ranking disciple."
Liu Mantian nodded, shook his head and smiled:
"Your Majesty's false praise is just a reckless girl who doesn't know the severity, and she deserves such praise from Your Majesty. ”
said it indifferently, but in his heart he was extremely happy, who didn't want to have an apprentice who was praised by all kinds of people.
But Her Majesty the Empress then spoke again and asked:
"I don't know who the one next to the disciple is. ”
The empress's tone was shallow, but there was some undoubtedness, the empress had ordered the eagle guard to investigate last night, that kid was a registered disciple of the leader of an inconspicuous small gang in Nanzhao, called Changqing, who came to do business with the Wuji Gang caravan, but was separated from the team, no one knew the real purpose of his trip, remembering that night, he had some annoying absurd requests, and the appearance of the color embryo staring at herself, the empress secretly bit her lips and teeth, the key is that he was so close to the famous woman of Haige that day, is he really a hungry ghost?
But then I remembered that night, the dark green flying sword flew again and again, and the other party stood firmly in front of him, he didn't know that I was the empress, and he didn't ask for any real reward, was it really just for ......
The empress under the mask was in turmoil, and her face was pink.
Sitting on the right hand side of the empress, she said that she had come to watch the ceremony, but in fact, the old lady of the Sword Hall, who knew some of the inside story of last night, opened her squinted eyes slightly, because she could feel that the empress's heartbeat was accelerating, could it be that His Majesty suffered some kind of secret injury last night?
Hearing His Majesty ask the kid he didn't like, Liu Mantian still answered truthfully, saying that it was just a meeting in Pingshui.
After a while, the hall master of the Sword Hall felt that His Majesty's heart rate had stabilized, and he thought it was nothing serious.
......
Changqing naturally didn't know that his every move was in the eyes of the empress with the most power and the most ruthless means in Beiyou, he felt that he was a nobody, and no one would look at him at all.
At this time, looking at the father-in-law in front of him with gray hair holding a wooden support in front of him, he was a little embarrassed.
Song Jing happily took one off and hung it on her waist, and the emerald green jade swayed in the sun.
Changqing raised his head and smiled at the father-in-law, owed slightly, and said:
"I'm not from Beiyou, so I won't take it. ”
The father-in-law nodded, smiled, seemed satisfied with the young man's sincerity, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"It doesn't matter. ”
Changqing still shook his head.
Agni Jin on the side rubbed his nose and shook his head as well.
The father-in-law stopped insisting and turned to leave.
On the side, Song Jing saw that her father-in-law had gone away, so she asked:
"Hey, big man, Changqing is not from Beiyou, don't want this Qingyunyu, why don't you want it. ”
Agni Jin seemed to be a little angry, and shouted:
"A broken stone, give it to me to keep it and it will be gone the next day, it is better to give me quick meat. ”
Changqing smiled and said:
"Then you can accept that piece of jade, and then exchange it with someone else for meat, I think this jade is of good quality, I believe that many people are willing to exchange a thousand catties of meat with you." ”
When Lie Tianjin heard this, he was stunned, and then slapped his thigh, crying and pestering Song Jing to ask for the piece of jade on her body.
.......
The father-in-law slowly returned to the high platform, leaned over and said again, when he heard that Changqing decisively refused the jade, the empress Lan Xiaoxiao behind the silver-veined mask frowned, and then stretched out, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
.........
On the birthday of King Ming, the process of priests is quite cumbersome, such as the need for two grand dukes to bathe and change clothes, bring thirty-six priests, one of whom holds a torch, to dance the light dance that has been inherited by the Ming King for thousands of years.
Changqing looked at the priests in white sacrificial robes, dancing in the afterglow of dusk, it would be a little interesting if they were all female priests, but this Ming Wang Sect Youdu Altar was more male priests than female priests, so he looked a little drowsy.
The large flat under the altar is really big, in addition to the believers and people who came to watch the ceremony, as well as the scattered Jianghu people in the northern seclusion, there are also hundreds of civil and military officials of the current dynasty and thousands of court armor.
Changqing couldn't help but glance at those high-ranking officials in Beiyou who were embroidered with cranes and tigers on their chests, especially a few with gray temples, Changqing couldn't help but think in his heart, these old men wouldn't be unable to bear it.
Song Jing gently leaned half of her body on Changqing's back, although it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, coupled with the natural coolness of the north, so there was no summer for a long time, but she couldn't stand Song Jing's young impetuousness, either fighting with Lie Tianjin, or turning east and west, plus watching such a boring dance, her heart was naturally hot, and she suddenly found that Changqing's body naturally had some coolness, and her mood was much better because of this.
So this sticks to evergreen.
Whether it is a high-ranking official or a common person, whether it is Changqing or a Jianghu person who has no respect for King Ming, just when everyone is tired.
In the distance, under the dim sunset, a bright light and shadow came from the west, and immediately attracted countless eyes, and the light and shadow went straight to the altar of the Ming King Sect.
Next to the empress who watched the ceremony on the high platform, Liu Mantian and the old woman of the Sword Hall protected the empress from left to right.
Behind the empress, a gray and black figure slowly emerged, it was a woman dressed in black leather armor, with a black mask on her face, her hair pulled up in a bun at will, obviously the guards who secretly protected the empress.
But no one paid attention to the guard's pointed ears at this time.
The originally sleepy Beiyou and his ministers were also suddenly shocked, and they all wanted to push away the palace armor in front of them, and wanted to rush to His Majesty to make a gesture of sacrificing themselves to protect the driver, not to mention that the palace armor used to protect the courtiers was originally to protect such a group of powerless courtiers, and it was a few masters around the empress, saying that they could block thousands of troops, but I was afraid that it was more than enough.
Where do you need these old bones?
As for the people in the rivers and lakes in the field, there was a look of longing in their eyes, not to mention who the person who came, it was this sky that could not be done, only from this, it can be seen that the strength of the people who came was not something that those of them who wanted to show their faces near the center of the empire to seek a future could look at, but people always have thoughts in life, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish.
Changqing is the salted fish, he squinted his eyes and watched the light get closer and closer, from a firefly, to a bald monk with dazzling golden light, Changqing thought to himself, what a big lamp.
Lie Tianjin shook the handle of the firewood knife behind his back, and there was a look of a hungry ghost seeing the top girl in his eyes, Song Jing chatted about the hat, and said in surprise:
"It's amazing, Changqing has a good show to watch, I think it's definitely not good. ”
Just as everyone was holding their breath, the figure that was already clearly visible flew overhead.
Then he slowly floated back, and Shi Shiran landed on the altar lawn, and his light was as dazzling as the newborn morning sun.
After a moment, he narrowed his light slightly, and everyone saw his face clearly.
It was a monk, to be precise, a little monk with red lips and white teeth, but between his eyebrows, too compassionate, too plain, and too sophisticated, just like an old monk who had walked through thousands of mountains and rivers and lived for a long time.
And his appearance obviously doesn't look like it.
The little monk rubbed his head, grinned, pointed to the crowd, and then to the high platform.
"What is high and what is low. ”
"As low as a stubborn rock at the foot of a mountain, as high as a green pine on the top of a mountain. ”
"People are skins. ”
"Amitabha, dare to ask, is this the Ming King's Dojo?"
Ignoring the buzzing of the people in the audience, he turned to look at the Bright Sun Gong on the high platform, and smiled without saying a word.
Sunny Gong slowly turned his neck that was not too obvious, and said in a flat tone:
"This is the altar of the secluded capital of the Ming King Sect, and you are from the Xiliang Dayun Temple. ”
The little monk clasped his hands together and shook his head:
"I have crossed the mountains, I have been to the end of the world, I have seen the wasteland before the rain and dew fell, who I was and who I am now, it doesn't matter, when I open my eyes, the balcony is very bright, but it can't shine on me, so I call it the lamp, the lamp that illuminates all things. ”
Standing in the middle of the field, the sun was setting, only the deep twilight remained, but the light on the little monk's body became more and more bright.
The old woman of the Sword Hall sitting on the high platform had a hoarse voice:
"I have heard Buddhism and Taoism for a long time, there are people who have an epiphany, once they have an epiphany, and they have a bright future. ”
Epiphany, detachment, no more than five people can understand what it means in the audience.
Changqing frowned slightly, the most transcendent person he had met in his life was naturally the person on the island, but it seemed that the guy's evaluation of his cultivation was relatively strange, and at this time, for no reason, Changqing remembered what the guy said.
"I'm just a biger, fatter koi in this river......"
So, if you are the first in the world to be a koi, there are dragons in this river and lake......
