Chapter 44: Back to Fangcun Mountain
Wuqing, who entered the palace for the third time, followed the attendant who led the way, and the plum blossom wine in Ruifu Building was really a first-class wine, and his brain was not drowsy after a big drunkenness.
All the way to the Qinzheng Palace, Wuqing was called into the palace without waiting long, what surprised him was that there were still a lot of people in the Qinzheng Hall this time, the old emperor Sima Dai was sitting on the throne in the middle, and the next was Prince Rong who was sitting in danger, the mysterious Wu Guan stood beside the old emperor with his head bowed, and General Yin Tianshou of Jin Wuwei stood straight sideways under His Royal Highness.
"It's lively enough!" Wu Qing thought secretly, and saluted the four people in the hall in turn.
After more than a year, the old emperor Sima Dai's spirit looked good, and at this time he said to Wuqing with a smile: "I intended to let you check the affairs of Chaotianzong before, but I didn't expect that in more than a year, you not only found out the eyebrows, but also helped the court find out the ins and outs of this Chaotianzong, and what is even more commendable is that you even caught a live mouth unknowingly!" That person named Yan Shihua in Jin Wuwei has already spit out, he shook everything about Chaotian Sect, and the information he obtained is much more detailed than the sum of the previous years of the imperial court, you have done a good job!"
The old emperor looked at the simple young man below, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. As the king of a country, looking at people and things will never be superficial, although this Wuqing looks ordinary, but he has a temperament in his body, he is bold and capable, and he has both Taoism and Taoism, and he can enter and enter the wilderness freely, it can be said that he is a young and promising, promising young man, and it is even more rare that he has a good heart, and can be persistent in people and things, not arrogant or impatient, and everything is not generalized, such an excellent young man, and his beloved granddaughter Xin'er can be described as a good couple.
Sima Dai has passed the age of antiquity, and the means of dealing with government affairs and state affairs are very peaceful, and the Qing Dynasty Tianzong was only founded by the traitors among the descendants of the Yan clan of the Great Wei Dynasty, and most of the Yan clan people also have a hateful attitude towards Chaotianzong, which is also very gratifying to him, after all, eradicating an arrogant cultivation sect and punishing a clan of the former royal family is much more justifiable than the former.
Prince Rong Sima Du sat down, and he was also looking at Wuqing, this young man just returned to Chang'an yesterday, and when he heard that, he ran to get drunk with Jin Wuwei's three knife captains, and he didn't even ask his baby girl, and then thought of Xin'er worrying about him, Prince Rong, who has always been broad-minded, couldn't help but be a little dark, but he didn't know that this was the attitude of the vast majority of fathers-in-law to sons-in-law in the people.
Sima Dai saw that Wuqing's appreciation of himself was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was even more satisfied in his heart:" I am very old, at the beginning of the year I intended to Zen in Du'er, but Du'er considered that if after ascending the throne, Xin'er is the eldest princess, and then you and Xin'er will be even more resistant, if now Xin'er is only a county lord in Prince Rong's mansion The identity is much more convenient, so I made an appointment with me to slow down for a year, if you still have no news by then, it is also considered that we have done our benevolence and righteousness, and now there is still half a year before the appointment, although it is a little hasty, but I know that you practitioners do not hold vulgar etiquette, and I don't want my precious granddaughter to wait for you anymore, I intend to marry you and Xin'er within the year, what do you thinkοΌβ
"Ah?!" Wuqing's eyes widened instantly, and he looked straight at Sima Dai in the hall with kind eyebrows, and his brain was a little dull, I am about to get married? Is the ninth princess who has been thinking about it for a long time going to become my wife? All this is too fast, right? Just thinking about it, the old emperor's words are not unreasonable, before Prince Rong ascends the throne and becomes the new emperor, marrying Xin'er must be much less criticized, and when Xin'er becomes the eldest princess, every move will be watched by the world, which will only increase the troubles.
"Ah what?" Sima Du saw that his future son-in-law reacted a little sluggishly, and said angrily: "You have been gone for more than a year, but I don't know how Xin'er worries about you, I really don't know why you have only met twice, but why did my Xin'er have this friendship with you." β
"Xin'er, is she worried about me?" Wuqing heard Prince Rong's words, and his heart suddenly burst into flames. His affection for the Nine Princesses has not diluted with time, but has become more and more precipitated and pure over time like fine wine. Now when I hear that my sweetheart is worried about me, I am happy and distressed at the same time.
Prince Rong couldn't help but be angry and happy when he saw the smirk on Wuqing's face, and most of the unhappiness in his heart suddenly disappeared.
When the old emperor saw this two sons-in-law like this, he also smiled with satisfaction, and asked again: "What, what do you think?"
I thought that Wuqing would agree directly, but I didn't want Wuqing to come back to his senses, but he groaned and didn't answer. The old emperor was puzzled in his heart, and his face was silent, just quietly waiting for Wuqing's reply.
Wuqing thought for a while, and solemnly said: "Marrying Xin'er is what I want, I am overjoyed, but the matter of marriage is not trivial, I have to go back to the master to tell the teacher." β
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent, and the eyes of Chief Manager Wu, who had been bent down, and His Highness, who was silent, flashed brightly, and they all looked at Wuqing. As cultivators, they know too well the power of the master Bodhi Ancestor of Wuqing, saying that a land immortal is only afraid of him is also condescending, this great power has always been the head of the dragon without seeing the end, and it has disappeared in the past few hundred years, and now when they heard that Wuqing was going back to the master, their hearts fluctuated a little.
Although the old emperor and Prince Rong are not cultivators, they also have a deep understanding of the name of the Bodhi ancestor during this time, and when they heard Wuqing say that they want to repay his master, this is also the proper meaning, the old emperor Sima Dai nodded and said: "It should be so, then when are you going to leave?"
Wuqing unhurriedly took out a green talisman from the mountain and river bag, and said, "When I went down the mountain, the master asked me not to return to the mountain if I had nothing to do, so I had to ask for instructions first. As he spoke, he grabbed a roll of rune paper up and down with two fingers of both hands, pinched a magic decision and pasted it on his forehead, and the rune paper suddenly flashed. After a while, a burst of strong light suddenly flashed on the rune paper, and Wuqing hurriedly opened the rune paper, only to see that the rune paper had four big words written on it, "Bring me to me".
Yin Tianshou stood closer to Wuqing, and he could see the words on it clearly, but he didn't speak and just continued to stand silently.
Before Wuqing spread out the rune paper and handed it over, Manager Wu quietly walked down the hall to take the rune paper, and sent it to the imperial book case with both hands, the old emperor looked at the four words on it, and frowned lightly: "What does the respected master mean is to let you take Xin'er to see him?"
Wuqing nodded, Prince Rong felt that this matter was inappropriate, but his father was above, and it was not his turn to speak, so he was silent.
The old emperor secretly thought in his heart, his baby granddaughter has not yet left the cabinet, and he will be taken away, not to mention the strict rules of the royal family, even in the folk is also inconsistent with the etiquette, but the Bodhi ancestor is absolutely not a person, and he can't be polite. I heard Wu Changban and General Yin say that this Bodhi ancestor is very likely to be a heavenly immortal, if this is the case, it may be the blessing of his granddaughter to summon Xin'er to see him.
I know that in this era of mixed dragons and snakes, a big royal family with no background in cultivating immortals has too much helplessness and bitterness in the face of those forces that extraordinary people can compete with, even if there is a sharp weapon of Jin Wuwei in hand, more often it is overstretched and powerless, and the profound heritage of those famous families and cultivation families is far beyond the reach of the Dajin royal family, which has been established for hundreds of years. And forced by the original oath, the ancestors of the Sima clan could not have practice, so intermarriage with women in the clan is one of the few means that the Sima clan can win over the allies of Xiuzhen, but the Xiuzhen power of the small family Sima clan does not look down on it; And Wuqing is an outlier, which just meets all the expectations of the Sima family: the reputation of the master is loud and powerful, and now he is a single lineage, this heir is gifted in cultivation, the Taoism is profound, his future is limitless, he has a calm temperament and a decent person, and he has a soft spot for his granddaughter. Such conditions meet the marriage standards of the Sima family, which is also the main reason why Sima Dai agreed to him and Sima Xin as soon as he saw Wuqing.
Now this Bodhi Ancestor wants to summon his granddaughter, although it is a little sudden, but after all, it is Wuqing's master, and it is not abrupt, Sima Dai is naturally unwilling to disobey the Bodhi Ancestor because of such a trivial matter, so after thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed: "Since it is the Venerable Master's summons, then Xin'er should go with you, but I don't know where the fairy mountain is?
Manager Wu and Yin Tianshou were holding their breath on the side, and they both wanted to listen carefully to Wuqing's answer, but unexpectedly, Wuqing replied with a smile: "My master is on Fangcun Mountain. β
Manager Wu bowed slightly and said, "When it was difficult to destroy the demon two hundred years ago, I saw with my own eyes that Fang Cun Immortal Mountain was shattered by that demon's deathly blow, could it be that it was restored again?"
Wuqing looked at Manager Wu and said: "I grew up on Fangcun Mountain since I was a child, there is no doubt that Fangcun Mountain does exist, as for you saying that Fangcun Mountain was destroyed by the Great Demon, my master has never told me, and I don't know very well." β
Sima Dai saw that Wu Changban had touched a soft nail, and hurriedly took over the conversation: "In this case, then how can you go back to Fangcun Mountain?"
Wuqing said: "This is also easy to do, just use my master's flying talisman to go back in an instant, if you set up an altar here, you can return it on the same day." β
"So amazing?" Sima Dai said curiously: "Could it be that this Fangcun Mountain is not very far from Chang'an?
Chief Manager Wu lowered his body on the side and whispered: "Your Majesty, what he said just now is an instantaneous round trip, if it is true, it can be called immortal art, and it is not for ordinary people like us to speculate; β
"Immortal ......" Sima Dai raised his eyebrows, didn't ask any more questions, but said to Wuqing: "So it's decided, when to leave, I'll let Xin'er prepare." β
Wuqing replied, "Since Master has an order, I can't delay, and I'm going to go back today." Wuqing was excited at this time, he had been traveling down the mountain for four or five years, and he had long missed his master, and now he finally got the call of the master, and he couldn't return to Fangcun Mountain immediately.
Sima Dai glanced at his son Sima Du, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he nodded and said, "Okay! After speaking, let Manager Wu summon the ninth princess. Chief Manager Wu took the order and left, and after a while, he returned to the Qinzheng Hall with the ninth princess Sima Xin.
Sima Xin had heard Mr. Wu talk about the things in the palace along the way, and knew that he was called by the Bodhi Ancestor to go to the mysterious Fangcun Mountain with Wuqing, in the end, it was a girl's heart, and being able to go out with her sweetheart at this time made her heart ashamed and happy. After going to the palace, I saw the familiar back, and I only felt a sour corner of my eyes, but I couldn't help but greet the emperor's grandfather and father first, and then stood there with the pavilion in the corner of the clothes.
Sima Dai looked at Wuqing, who was shy, and Xin'er, who began to giggle as soon as he went to the palace, couldn't help but laugh secretly, and instructed: "Xin'er, you also know everything, now that you have been summoned by the Immortal Bodhi Ancestor, you can go with Wuqing, remember to abide by your duty when facing the elders, and you can't lose your etiquette." β
Sima Xin replied shyly, "Yes." Yu Guang saw that Wuqing on the side was still looking at himself and smirking, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, this fool!
Wuqing noticed that after Sima Xin secretly glanced at himself, his face became more ruddy, his mouth was even bigger, and there was only one sentence left in his mind: With this woman by her side, this life is enough!
Yin Tianshou on the side really couldn't stand the stupid appearance of the young talent he strongly recommended, and coughed and said: "Wuqing, you said that you want to try to the altar, do you need our help with anything?"
Only then did Wuqing come back to his senses, and said while untying the mountain and river bag from his waist: "No, I have an altar here." After speaking, the sword pointed as a guide, and the mountain and river bag suddenly left his hand and grew into the wind, and the pocket opened up to a certain extent, and dozens of white jade stones of different sizes flew out of it, and the volley formed an altar and landed steadily on the temple.
Although Sima Dai Sima Du's father and son were in high and powerful positions, where had they seen such a strange scene, their eyes were immediately attracted, and the manager Wu on the side did not react, just looked at the hanging mountains and rivers in the air.
After the mountain and river bag was released from the altar, it changed back to its original appearance and fell into Wuqing's hands, Wuqing stuffed the mountain and river bag into his waist, and went straight forward to grab Sima Xin and went to the altar, before everyone in the hall could react, the figures of the two flashed in an instant, leaving only a few people who were stunned.
After a while, Sima Dai let out a long breath and sighed: "It is worthy of immortal art!"
Chief Manager Wu on the side thought that the palace guard array that had just been constructed some time ago was not abnormal at this time, and his face was tense and said, "Hmm...... It's really an immortal method!"
Yin Tianshou paced back and forth around the altar, carefully observing the altar made of white jade.
Sima Du quickly regained his composure and said, "Father, is this altar here?"
Sima Dai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just put it here, I estimate that it won't take long for them to come back, let's wait for them here." β
