Chapter 43: Return to Chang'an
In the palace of Prince Rong of Chang'an City, because it was late autumn, the domestic servants sprinkled the fallen leaves in the courtyard under the arrangement of the steward, and the maids shuttled between the halls and halls to busily arrange, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Since the beginning of the year, the old emperor announced that Prince Rong was in charge of the country, in charge of the six affairs, the Jin Dynasty and the opposition all know that this is the old emperor is ready to give up the throne, in fact, the old emperor is ready to give up the throne at the beginning of the year, but Prince Rong refused to accept it, only said that he was not ready, an emperor and a prince discussed in the palace for a long time, and finally made a one-year covenant, to be the next year to do this Zen concession, and this year Prince Rong only carried out the act of supervising the country.
At this time, Prince Rong was in the study to review the pieces of music from all over the place, accompanied by a sound of gentle footsteps, the princess walked in with a bowl of steaming ginseng soup, put the ginseng soup in her hand on the table, and naturally stepped forward to pinch Prince Rong's shoulder.
Prince Rong put down the piece in his hand and closed his eyes comfortably to enjoy. In this way, the husband and wife were silently warm, and after a while, Prince Rong spoke: "How is Xin'er?"
Hearing her husband ask about her daughter, the princess said in a slightly low voice: "When I came out of the palace, Xin'er was still asking me if I had any news of Wuqing, and when I heard me say no, I felt that she was a little distracted. ”
Prince Rong sighed and said, "I shouldn't have told her that kid had entered the Great Wilderness, so that our precious daughter had been worried and scared for so long. ”
The princess said quietly: "You said that this Wuqing is too, and even I, a woman, know the murderous reputation of the Great Wilderness, how can he go regardless of it?"
Prince Rong didn't know the danger of the great wilderness in his heart, and heard that even the immortals in the heavens did not want to go to the place, even if that kid was a fairy child, after all, he was a young man of about twenty years old, and no matter how high his cultivation was, how high could he go? Now that more than a year has passed, the kid still has no news, and he is also very lucky, but he can't help but feel sad when he pities his precious daughter.
The couple were silent, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the study, and a steward of the palace stopped outside the study, and excitedly said loudly into the study: "Lord Wang! That little immortal master has returned! At this time, he has entered the breeze and drizzle building!"
............
Wuqing rushed back to Chang'an City for a few days, and went back directly to Qingfeng Drizzle Building, the gang of Qingfeng Drizzle Building did not know his whereabouts, so he just said hello to this protector who had not seen him for more than a year, and it did not cause much of a sensation, but Dou Sandao of the Jinwuwei General Division heard the news, and he came directly over the wall regardless of it, grabbed Wuqing's shoulder and looked left and right, grinned and hugged him in his arms, and patted Wuqing's back hard, and the strength made Wuqing can't help but spit out a few breaths.
"Where's Xuanshi?" Wu Qing asked when he saw that the monk was not in the gang.
Hearing Wuqing ask about the news of the little monk, Dou Sandao had a funny expression on his face, and he held back for a long time before saying, "Let's go, Ruifu Lou, let's talk while drinking!"
This proposal is in line with Wuqing's intentions, he has not eaten anything good for more than a year, he has long been greedy, the two of them hurried to the Ruifu Building, and after entering the private room, Dou Sandao said to Wuqing: " It's not easy to say it in the gang just now, not long after you left, the little eight of the lion camel ridge came back, and mixed with the Xuanshi all day long, that Luo Ling also looked for the two of them from time to time to catch the ghost, and then came a true dragon disciple of the Dragon Palace, Feiqiu, Xiaoba and him seem to have old grudges, the two fought in the ring for nine games, each with a victory or defeat, and then somehow Feiqiu and the Xuanshi monk got acquainted with each other, and then the four of them got together, all lived in your Fengyuan, and the four of them went together from time to time to catch the ghosts, I saw that the four of them were all powerful people, and they were also very relieved, and then they went to catch a 10,000-year-old ghost king, although in the end let the ghost king ambush, but Xiao Ba Feiqiu was seriously injured, Luo Ling was not seriously injured, Xuanshi's medical skills could only save the lives of the two, so Luo Ling took the three of them to the underworld!"
"Went to the underworld?" Dou Sandao's words made Wuqing stunned, "What do you mean by going to the underworld?
Dou Sandao nodded and said: "According to our ideas, the underworld is naturally impossible to go, but Luo Ling is confident, put up a formation to hook up with the Nine Secluded Land, and took the three of them to the underworld. ”
Wuqing once heard Xuanshi say that he was cultivating the Three Lives Sutra of Jizo, and this time he was led by Luo Ling to the land of the Nine Secluded Places, thinking that it was likely to meet Luo Ling's master, Jizo King Bodhisattva, so that what the little monk said about the opportunity should be referring to this.
Seeing that Wuqing was silent, Dou Sandao asked: "Don't talk about them, that formation is in your Fengyuan, I have been sending people to protect it, and when they come back, you have been in the Great Wilderness for more than a year, what do you gain?"
Wuqing smiled: " The harvest is quite rich, I found that most of the descendants of the Great Wei Yan clan are in a village in the Great Wilderness, and they are good by nature, Chaotianzong is not built by them, but a hundred years ago a traitor created by a person, his name is Yan Zhongcheng, is a cultivation wizard, the emperor's Tao has been cultivated to a very deep level, and he is ruthless by nature, thinking that the people of the world are against the Great Wei, so that everyone in the world knows what it is like to be terrorist, so that the people of the world dare not have a disobedience to them, he took a part of the Yan clan people to rebel out of the Great Wilderness, and then lurked in Baixiang County to create Chaotianzong, the main purpose is to restore the country。 ”
Saying that, Wuqing opened the mountain and river bag, released the unconscious Yan Shihua, and said: "This is a Yan clan person I arrested in Jiaozhou, named Yan Shihua, he and his third uncle Yan Zhongqing opened a pharmacy in Jiaozhou City, secretly doing things for Chaotianzong, I have been lurking in the Great Wilderness for more than a year to use his identity, I have been interrogating him for this time, but unfortunately there has been no gain, there is a specialization in the art industry, this person is still handed over to you Jin Wuwei! I think you will definitely be able to pry his mouth open, this guy is a villain, don't be polite to him." ”
Dou Sandao was overjoyed, he didn't expect Wuqing to really find out a lot of information, and also brought them back a live mouth, there was no mouth that could not be pried open under the torture instrument of Jin Wuwei Suo Jisi, he did not have a magic weapon that could collect people, so he grabbed the unconscious Yan Shihua with one hand and rushed away.
After a while, the dishes were ready, and Dou Sandao also hurried back, and the two of them pushed the cup to change the wind and clouds, and ate until dusk before returning drunk.
............
In the palace, the ninth princess Sima Xin was pouting and looking down sullenly at the jade Ruyi toys in her hand, and the personal maid on the side was also the head of the guard, Miao Commander, who was also the head of the guard, was also secretly annoyed when she saw her princess with such an expression, the black monkey didn't know what ecstasy she poured into the princess, but she had just seen two sides, but she hooked the soul of her own princess, and now the black monkey entered the great wilderness and didn't know whether she was alive or dead, so that the princess didn't want to think about it, and even the princess's grandfather couldn't persuade her, it was really distressing and annoying, and the infatuation of her own princess was annoying, and the annoyance was that the black monkey didn't know how thick the sky was, and the great wilderness was also a place where you could go casually?
As soon as he turned around, Commander Miao saw a middle-aged eunuch walking in quickly, and Commander Miao recognized him as a eunuch with palm prints under the respected Chief Wu in the palace, and he didn't dare to ask the big man to step forward and salute: "What's the matter with the father-in-law?"
The eunuch glanced at the depressed Ninth Princess, and replied with a little distress: "Manager Wu asked me to bring the letter, that Wuqing is back, hurry up and tell the princess the news, don't let her be like this, the miscellaneous family is distressed when they look at it." ”
"That guy actually came back alive?!" Commander Miao gasped, she was born in a family of cultivators in Baixiang County, she couldn't be clearer about what kind of existence the Great Wilderness was, the princess's impression of the Great Wilderness was obtained through her mouth, and the black monkey she despised actually came out of the Great Wilderness alive?!
Before she could say anything, the ninth princess behind her raised her head sharply and asked hurriedly, "Father-in-law, who did you just say came back?"
When the eunuch saw the princess asking, he hurriedly bowed and replied: "Hui Princess, it is Wuqing, a disciple of Fang Cun Mountain, who has returned, and has just entered Chang'an City today. After returning for a long time, he did not hear a sound, so he raised his eyelids a little and saw that the princess had covered her mouth with tears in her eyes, and she was crying with joy.
Seeing that the princess was in such a gaffe, Commander Miao said to her father-in-law: "The princess has learned the news, please ask the father-in-law to go back and thank Mr. Wu for telling the princess." ”
The father-in-law also knew that he was watching the princess lose his temper here, so he hurriedly saluted and retreated, and as soon as he withdrew from the palace, he heard a cry from the princess in the palace, and his feet sped away like a wind.
After hearing the return of his subordinates, Manager Wu sighed and said to himself: "This monkey cub in Fangcun Mountain has a really big life...... It's also so good!"
............
Wuqing has been nervous for more than a year, and now after relaxing, he got drunk, and was sent back to Fengyuan by Dou Sandao and slept until dawn the next day. Looking at the talisman in the house that he was drunk and unconscious yesterday but still laid out, he laughed at himself and laughed at himself, he was really amazing, and he didn't know if he could still set a warning circle before going to bed, and he really didn't know whether to be happy or sad for himself.
After finishing grooming, he went straight to the room of Xuanshi, on the ground in the room, a small altar was built with a stone, and there were many flags and magic weapons around the altar, and the middle of the altar was round and round, Wuqing circled around the altar a few times, and did not see any way, but the whole altar exuded a faint aura, peaceful and upright, and there was nothing wrong with it, just waiting for the four of them to come back.
Then he went out of the house and said a few words to the two family members guarding the door, and just as he was about to get up and go to the breeze and drizzle building, he heard a doorman come to report: "The palace has a decree, announcing your visit!"
