Chapter 138: The dust settles and does not disturb itself
It is rumored that after the disappearance of Wen Guogong, the marriage date was delayed, and then Jinyun Qingyao, the first beauty in Yujing, also disappeared, and Yujing City was in an uproar, and there were different opinions, some people said that they went to find the stupid Guogong, some people said that they saw through the red dust and became a monk, and some people said that they met the immortals and were taken away by the immortals.
Zhang Xian originally heard this rumor, thinking that he had run away, Jinyun Qingyao was ridiculed, he was in a bad mood, and he left home to play and relax, but he didn't expect to meet here, and Jinyun Qingyao really left home to practice.
"I can't be mistaken......
When he thought that Wu Yunyao was Jinyun Qingyao, he was still surprised, he had always heard that Jinyun Qingyao was the first beauty in Yujing, and he was still a disciple of Jinyun Tuo, but from the rumors that Jinyun Qingyao's martial arts were so good that the identity of the martial saint disciple was ignored.
He also always thought that Jinyun Qingyao was just a weak woman, maybe she knew some swordsmanship or something, but at most, she was practicing and playing with flower boxing and embroidered legs, but the Wu Yunyao he met now was so proud of her martial arts.
However, when he thought that this was Jinyun Qingyao, his mood was also inexplicably complicated.
For this marriage, although it is a marriage, but with such a foolish marriage as him, Jinyun Qingyao must have been ridiculed over the years, not to mention that he ran away, Jinyun Qingyao became a widow, and it has completely become a gossip for everyone to talk and laugh, no wonder he will see through Hongchen and run away from home.
He felt quite guilty in his heart, and felt a little indebted to Jinyun Qingyao, but he and Jinyun Qingyao were destined to be in conflict.
In terms of numerology, he and Emperor Yang have a grudge against his father, but he is married to the granddaughter of the enemy, if he does not take revenge, his mind is incomprehensible, if he takes revenge, he is the enemy of Jinyun Qingyao, this contradiction is irreconcilable, destined to collide with each other.
"Hey...... Providence makes people. β
Zhang Xian let out a long sigh, his mind was complicated, and he only blamed heaven for making people.
"Immortal Chief, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the change in Zhang Xian's expression, Meng Jianglin pursed her lips, as if she saw something, and listened to Zhang Xian muttering to herself Wu Yunyao, she asked, "Wu Yunyao, is this her name? Isn't she the Jinyun Qingyao who ran away from home?"
Meng Jianglin Bingxue is smart, and when she heard this name, she immediately understood, and this matter had been known to the world.
Zhang Xian nodded and said: "She should be Jinyun Qingyao, but I don't know if she came here under the guidance of the master of this Taoist temple, or if she came to this area, and then met the master of this Taoist temple, the owner of this Taoist temple, must also be a master outside the world." β
When Meng Jianglin heard this, he was not interested in this Taoist temple, but was curious about Zhang Xian, and asked again: "Immortal Chief, do you have a relationship with Jinyun Qingyao?"
"Huh?" Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, couldn't help reacting, quickly put away his thoughts, and the expression on his face also returned to calm, this girl was spying on his origin, and this girl was proficient in physiognomy and divination, and his words and expressions just now had made this girl see the clues.
His mind was spinning quickly, and in order to deceive this girl, he had to tell a slick story, and he said:
"Actually, I was also born in a princely family, because of the family's open and secret fighting, I was worried all day long, and I envied Fang Xian, I loved to practice, and by chance I got the enlightenment of an immortal, so I left home to cultivate. β
"When I was a child, I played with Jinyun Qingyao, but I haven't seen each other for many years, we have changed a lot, and we have experienced a lot of things, but I didn't expect her to leave home to cultivate, and we met here, I didn't recognize her, she didn't recognize me, and now I understand, I can't help but feel that the world is impermanent, and the vicissitudes of life. β
"Oh, I see. Meng Jianglin suddenly realized, no wonder the face of the immortal chief was so complicated just now.
Seeing that Meng Jianglin believed it, Zhang Xian was vigilant in his heart, he had to be cautious when he was with this girl in the future, otherwise this girl would definitely figure out his identity.
He said again: "Remember not to reveal this matter to anyone, and don't let Wu Yunyao know, I have become a monk, cut off the mundane, and concentrate on cultivation, and I don't want to involve the previous cause and effect anymore." β
"Uh-huh, understood. Meng Jianglin nodded obediently, she knows fortune telling, of course she knows the truth of cause and effect.
"After eating at this time, sit quietly and rest for a while, and then teach you the inner strength of Tai Chi. β
Zhang Xian said, taking a lunch break to meditate, Meng Jianglin also meditated together, closing his eyes and falling into silence.
Zhang Xian's thoughts moved, sensing the situation of the Lotus Sect.
Today, all the altar masters of the Lotus Sect have returned to the main altar, there are more than a dozen, as well as the protectors of the upper echelons of the day after tomorrow, there are also a few, the Lotus Sect Master does not come out of retreat, and the teaching affairs are presided over by the Red Lotus Venerable, and the deacon disciples are being promoted at this time, and more than 30 are promoted, and the lotus god is given.
Among them, there are three deacon disciples, all of whom are puppet incarnations planted by him to send ghosts.
The Red Lotus Sect Master instructed these disciples, saying that the Lotus Prince had received their incense to worship and sent a decree that on the full moon night after January, according to the list of merits, the god position would be conferred, and in order to meet the period of the gods, all the altar masters returned to the main altar to protect the Dharma for the gods together, in case of evil spirits, and the deacons and disciples acted as agents for the branch altar teachings.
At the same time, convey the will of the Lotus Prince to the congregation, and after a month, the Lotus Prince will be enshrined in the merit book, or give merit money, or dedicate virgins and girls, or young women, or worship without eating or drinking, in order to show piety, in short, the dedication of the congregation, the Lotus Prince will see it in his eyes and record it in the merit book.
When Zhang Xian heard this, he was puzzled: "What does the Lotus Sect want to do?"
"No wonder they all stood guard and patrolled last night, because everyone was transferred back today, and there is no need to worry about changing shifts, but these people are all transferred back, what about the altar?"
"And when it was attacked, the Lotus Sect not only did not relent, but wanted to hype up the gods, could it be that they wanted to kill chickens and take eggs?"
Most of these people who worship the Lotus Sect have gone mad and are completely obsessed, and as soon as this will is heard, the situation can be imagined, and thousands of families must be ruined.
"Is this the Lotus Sect trying to make a lot of money, and then run away?"
Zhang Xian saw that this is a common routine used by charlatans, if something is wrong, he will run away after making a fortune, but the charlatans are all petty fights, and this Lotus Sect, who worked hard to run such a big stall, gave up like this?
What's more, it was just an attack, and the Lotus Sect's reaction was so fast, which was too timid.
"Could it be that he really responded to the saying that he ran the rivers and lakes, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he became, but he gave up, and this lotus robbing Dharma Venerable was really decisive and ruthless. β
I have to say that he really didn't expect that this Lotus Venerable could afford to take it and let it go, so cautious, it was too difficult to deal with it, but he couldn't let the Lotus Sect harm one side, so he called Wu Yunyao to act together tonight.
The lunch break was almost over, he retracted his thoughts, and sensed Wu Yunyao again, at this time in the Taoist temple, I don't know what to do in the county seat this morning.
In the afternoon, he taught Meng Jianglin Tai Chi.
His Taijiquan, strictly speaking, should be called Taiji Xuangong, because it has long gone beyond the scope of boxing, integrating swordsmanship, spells, body techniques, internal strength, mental methods, living and dead realms, etc., and has been integrated and cultivated.
As for how many layers Meng Jianglin can learn, it depends on her own understanding.
When it was almost evening, he took Meng Jianglin back, close to the range of Baijia Town, walking back to the Taoist Temple, it was already evening, everyone had finished work, drinking water to rest and cool, waiting to finish eating.
Zhang Xian asked Meng Jianglin to bring the herbs in the basket and boil medicinal tea tomorrow, and he went back to the Taoist temple.
Wu Yunyao was under the eaves at this time, leaning on the steps of the wooden building, watching the sunset, her mind was calm, she had already changed her golden armor, wearing a plain robe, a pair of sword bags behind her never left her body, and there was a jar of wine next to her, a gust of wind swept by, blowing the green silk of her clothes, she was still so proud, majestic and martial, but in the quiet, a person drinking wine was a little cold and lonely.
Zhang Xian looked at Wu Yunyao's appearance, and already knew that it was his fiancΓ©e Jinyun Qingyao, and his mood was complicated again.
Seeing that Zhang Xian was back, Wu Yunyao didn't ask him much what he was doing, just raised his hand and threw it, and Zhang Xian hurriedly caught it, it was a gold ingot.
He quickly came back to his senses and asked, "Monk Yun Yao, why are you doing this?"
Wu Yunyao lifted the wine jar, took a sip, liked the refreshing sweetness, and said: "Xuan Tianzi, the wine you brew is very good, don't you have to give money after drinking your wine?"
"Hehehe. Zhang Xian hurriedly laughed happily, covering up the complexity of his feelings, and said: "It's just a few jars of wine, if Yun Yao Jushi likes it, I will brew a few more jars tomorrow, this ingot of gold, since Yun Yao Jushi has given it, I will accept it, but don't give any more money in the future." β
"Huh?" Looking at Zhang Xianle's smiling appearance, Wu Yunyao questioned, her eyes condensed, and she looked at Zhang Xian carefully, as if she wanted to see Zhang Xian through.
"Yun Yao, why are you looking at me like this? β
Zhang Xian hurriedly wiped his face, pretending to be puzzled, but he reacted in his heart, secretly saying that it was not good, when he laughed happily, it was the same as pretending to be crazy and stupid in the Guogong Mansion before, Wu Yunyao must have seen his portrait, although his current image has changed a lot, but it is inevitable that he will be seen to look a little similar.
"It's nothing, it's just that the way you smiled just now reminded me of an old man. β
Wu Yunyao put away her gaze, thinking that it was a wry smile, her foolish fiancΓ© was missing on the surface, but secretly, he should have been assassinated by her imperial aunt.
In fact, after Zhang Xian disappeared, everyone thought that he was assassinated, for this matter, the prince forcibly intervened in the internal affairs of the Wenguo Mansion in the name of investigating the matter, and Jinyunxiu and the three princes had to do it, and there were many fights in the Wenguo Mansion, and they have not been confiscated so far.
"Hey...... The dust has settled, so why bother yourself. β
Wu Yunyao sighed, then smiled, picked up the wine jar and drank, having a sense of freedom and ease of seeing through the red dust, and was too lazy to think about these worldly things.
