Chapter Forty-Three: The Imperial Capital Is Holy
"Engong, there is the imperial capital ahead!" According to Huang Xinqing's request, Yue'er, who finally changed her words and no longer called her uncle, went out of the carriage to visit, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said.
The trip finally arrived at the imperial capital smoothly.
Huang Xinqing heard the prestige and saw that the emperor was worthy of being the imperial capital, and the city was so big that the boundaries on the left and right were out of reach. At this time, the East Heavenly Gate is clearly visible 100 meters away, only to see that the city wall is tightly wrapped with special bricks and stones, the highest place has been as high as more than 20 zhang, solid and majestic, there is a large array base of the city protection on the gate tower of each city, the five elements of the air machine are faintly connected with each other, the overall weather is solemn and solemn, it is daunting.
The convoy slowly passed through the leafy gallop road on both sides of the East Heaven Gate, and had just passed the turbulent moat bridge when it encountered a group of guards coming to conduct a routine inspection. I saw a city guard with a very powerful face and posture and a calm demeanor, glanced at the inconspicuous convoy, and asked the convoy in a routine loud voice: "Is there one person in the convoy, named Huang Xinqing?"
"!?Could it be that the thief is not dead, and the thief Lin Ba, who left his life before, used some kind of spiritual treasure to convey the message, with the intention of being unfavorable to me?" Huang Xinqing's mind turned quickly, guessing the cause and effect, but seeing that this guard does not seem to be fierce and evil, and everyone is in a large court of people coming and going, I think it should not be such a thing.
"It's Huang Xinqing down there, I don't know what Your Excellency calls me, and how do you know my name?" Huang Xinqing hurriedly got out of the car, and then asked with a slight salute with both fists.
"Are you Huang Xinqing?" the guard frowned slightly, obviously surprised, and then dismounted, floated in front of Huang Xinqing, knelt down on one knee and bowed: "The last general Bai Qi was ordered by the emperor to be regarded as the Holy Zhou Lao, and came to greet the distinguished guests, and asked the prince to follow me." On the one hand, he thought that Zhou Lao really had no last resort, saying that he arrived at noon and came at noon, but on the other hand, he pondered that this was obviously a young man in the early stage of foundation building, how could he let Zhou Lao personally ask him to come to receive him, but there was no trivial matter in the matter of holiness, it was a frog and an animal that came, and he had to deal with it carefully.
Huang Xinqing saw that he was floating in the void, and he was obviously already a great god of cultivation in the merger period, so he hurriedly became solemn: "Then please wait, Brother Bai, I will arrange some affairs, and I will go with you immediately." ”
Then Huang Xinqing called Yue'er and gave her the purple jade pattern, telling her that as long as she found the drunken immortal building in the imperial capital with this card and reported her name, she wanted to come to this cart of goods and the arrangements of the group should be settled.
Yue'er was choked for a while, and she didn't know how to answer, the word thank you was really too thin for such a nobleman. Let's not mention that Huang Xinqing showed that he easily sent away the thieves before, and he had the grace to save his life. At this time, the imperial capital was regarded as a saint and sent people to greet him, what kind of noble status was this? And then he handed over the purple jade pattern card of the Drunken Immortal Building to himself to do things? This series of shocks, even if Yue'er's father was also a person who had seen the world, was also shocked, not to mention Xiao Yue'er.
"Engong, this can't be done, Yue'er. Yue'er hurriedly shirked and didn't dare to accept it, and continued to speak.
"It's okay, thanks to the care along the way, I don't eat and drink well, your father's craftsmanship is really no less than that of the chef of the Drunken Immortal Building. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can open a restaurant near the Tianshu Immortal Temple, and I will definitely bring my senior brothers and sisters to visit often. Huang Xinqing replied with a gentle smile.
"Yue'er thanks to Gong En!"
"Hmm!" Huang Xinqing turned around and followed Bai to see the unmasked saint Zhou first.
It has to be said that the prosperity of the imperial capital far exceeds that of Qingshan City, along the way only to see all kinds of houses lined up one after another, there are 19 circular main streets in the city, each main street has many more forks in the shape of the east, west, north and south, the eaves of the houses on the street are warped, and all kinds of building windows are arranged according to the color of the five elements, which is neat and distinctive. The area around Chengzhong North Street is the center of commercial transactions in the imperial capital, with shops and stalls on both sides of the street, cars and horses coming and going, and the voices of people are lively and lively. For outsiders like Huang Xinqing, who came to the imperial capital for the first time, it is really not too simple to get lost here.
The old mansion of the Holy Zhou is built according to the direction of the gossip of the day after tomorrow, and the whole house is placed with five main buildings of green, red, yellow, white and black to live in the earthquake, separation, middle, dui, and kan positions, and at the same time, there are four pavilions of heaven, earth, thunder and mountain falling in Kun, Qian, Xun and Gen positions, and at the same time, the door opening, the curved corridor, the courtyard and the corridor are respectively in accordance with the route of the five elements of Shengke to create the transition between the pavilions of each building.
Originally, it didn't occupy much of a holy mansion, but the two of them passed from house to house, walked through the corridor and across the garden, turned left and right and retreated, and finally came to the red courtyard house where Zhou Lao was at the moment.
I saw that this courtyard is located at the south end of the whole mansion, in which the hall, hall, room, platform, xuan, and pavilion are all red into a whole. Among them, no matter the decoration, railings, doors and windows, gardens, rockeries, stones, pools, etc., there are only red, blue, and white colors.
"Childe, just go straight ahead, it's inconvenient to continue to accompany you below. After Bai Qiyan finished speaking, he also hugged his fists and saluted, and then said goodbye.
The first time I met Huang Xinqing, the blue eyes and black ears were opened, so that the sensitivity of the senses was raised to the highest level, and he clearly felt that the faint sound of the insects walking within ten zhang of his body could also be clearly distinguished, so he slowly paced in and walked straight to the hall.
Walking to the front of the hall, seeing that the door was closed, Huang Xinqing immediately shouted: "Qingshan City Huang Xinqing greets Zhou Lao!"
"Here we are. A thick voice that looked like a middle-aged man came from behind him, and Huang Xinqing turned around in surprise.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt, starry sideburns, and a fairy style who was continuing to focus on cleaning the fallen leaves in the courtyard, and the cyan broom waved elegantly, giving people a sense of otherworldly sacredness.
"The younger generation Huang Xinqing has seen Zhou Lao. Huang Xinqing hurriedly saluted the middle-aged man behind him, just the realm of passing by him just now without noticing his traces, although this person did not look old, he was sure that it was Zhou Lao.
"Yes, yes, the foundation has been laid, and there is the power of star chips in the bloodline, and there will be no one who has come after a thousand years. Zhou Lao didn't answer, stopped the work of sweeping the floor in his hand, and commented with a smile to himself.
"The things of the next thousand years have not happened yet, how can Zhou Lao say that there will be no one who will come?" Huang Xinqing didn't feel any realm oppression from Zhou Lao, and his blue eyes looked carefully and felt that the person in front of him didn't seem to have immortal energy running in his body, and he suddenly felt very magical, his heart moved at will, and then he asked.
In fact, if Huang Xinqing opened his blue eyes from a height of thousands of meters, he could find that at this time, Zhou Lao had skillfully controlled his holy qi to cover the entire courtyard, completely blending with the courtyard, which was why Huang Xinqing couldn't detect Zhou Lao's whereabouts.
"Hehe, since it's a sacred, isn't it just a matter of counting. Zhou Lao teased back with self-deprecation.
"However, don't all cultivators in the world say, 'My life is up to me, not to heaven'? Shouldn't we cultivators also change our lives against the heavens and walk in the same direction?" Huang Xinqing immediately replied with some of the most commonly used unconvincing theories in the world.
"Haha, my life is up to me, it's exactly what the old man said when he was young. But changing one's life against the sky is indeed nonsense!" Zhou Lao first laughed, and then continued with a serious expression: "Human life is a life, and the decision of life is jointly influenced by heaven, earth, man, and God, and among them, the heavenly time is the most unshakable, and therefore the least impactful. The most influential thing is the human being, the eight doors of human beings are opened, rested, born, died, shocked, injured, Du and Jing have fixed directions when they are born, but people themselves can choose their own directions at will and use them to change cause and effect. To put it bluntly, people can take advantage of the time, place, and people to zoom in and change many things, so of course, 'my life is up to me, not to the sky'. ”
"But changing one's life against the heavens is about turning one's back on the four influences of heaven, earth, man, and God, and doing whatever you want, do you think it's possible? If the God of Creation may be able to do this in the world he has created, he can think whatever he wants. But how do you think that you and I are born in anger and mortal fetus, how can we jump out of the Three Realms and not be among the Five Elements?" Zhou Lao continued to ask.
"It is true that jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements is impossible, but the cultivation of the Heart Clear is the way of medicine, and the way of medicine is a process of taking the shadow of mountains and rivers to make up for the lack of time in the sky. Many elixirs can bring ordinary people back to life, and even enter the immortal gate, which can actually be regarded as a change of life against the sky. If one day they can harvest the essence of heaven and earth and practice magic medicine, the immortals will not have the opportunity to change their lives against the sky and become gods. Huang Xinqing immediately said his understanding of the medical Tao.
There was also such a legend in the fairy world, saying that there was once a Zhongtian Physician Ancestor who had forcibly discouraged the Qi of the Nine Heavens to practice the divine medicine, but unfortunately in the end, the divine medicine was still missing, and it could not be obtained by my generation of immortals. Zhou Lao felt that what Huang Xinqing said was interesting, so he told a myth and legend.
"Okay, don't talk about this, I called you here today, mainly because there is a catastrophe in the fairy world soon, and the heavenly image has been obtained by me, and little brother, you are the key to remedy. Old Zhou looked at Huang Xinqing with a serious expression, not as if he was lying.
"The younger generation is just in the early stage of building the foundation, and there are countless people in the immortal world, how can he remedy the immortal realm?" Huang Xinqing was surprised.
"Don't worry, listen to me first... Count the Holy Zhou Lao while pinching his fingers and talking slowly.
