In the wing, the stone was sleepless all night, and the picture of Zhang Zhenren and the Golden Flower Lady fighting was recalled in his mind, although he was only rough about the world, but he could also clearly feel Zhang Zhenren's expression when he spoke, the fierceness of the fight, and the amiability of the daytime was like two people, and the Golden Flower Lady was a ghost according to Zhang Zhenren, but it looked more righteous and strict than Zhang Zhenren, good and evil, right and wrong, he was not clear for a while at a young age, and who was the "Panhua Wulang" she kept saying?

The stone is still young, where can he figure out so much, he finally survived until the rooster sings, and the day is finally bright, just waiting for Yuandong Zhenren to hand him the seal letter, so he can say goodbye and return to the mountain, leaving this place of right and wrong.

After breakfast, Shi came to the gate of Chaotian Palace early, waiting for news here, returning to his heart like an arrow, and it was inconvenient to open his mouth to urge, pacing back and forth at the door with his head down, like a chicken eager to come out of the cage to forage.

Even the sun seemed to slow down, and it was just about to climb as high as the courtyard wall.

Suddenly, a person rushed in from the gate of the temple, panicked, and shouted as he ran: "Lord, Lord, there is a team of official honor guards under the mountain, coming up the mountain!"

When Zhang Zhenren heard this, he came out of Chaotian Palace, and it seemed that the person was Song Weizhuang, and said: "What are you panicking about, do you see clearly, who is the person coming?"

Song Weizhuang gasped and said, "It looks like a guard, like the governor's honor guard, but there are more followers than before, which is very strange." ”

Zhang Zhenren smiled when he heard this, and said: "The pomp of the official family will only be more, not less, you go and order the Daolu Division and the disciples of each hall to open the mountain gate and prepare to go down the mountain to line up to greet you!"

Zhang Zhenren gave an order, and all the disciples of Lingyunguan, except for those who were confined, were busy preparing all kinds of items to welcome the people of the official mansion.

Some of the disciples stayed at the entrance of the temple, and the others went out of the gate, and even Yuandong Zhenren went down the mountain in a panic, it seems that he has completely forgotten about the matter of the seal letter, and the court officials going up the mountain are related to the reputation and future of Lingyun Guan, who can take care of the little Maoshan faction at this moment?

The stone was stunned in place, he never expected that this kind of thing would happen, at this moment, Ling Yunguan was like a great enemy, which scared the stone, he didn't know where he was going now, this would make him a little envious of those people who were locked up.

The deacon Taoist saw that the stone was worn out and too bad, and the person was dumbfounded, and he stood at the gate of the palace in a daze, in case he collided with the official, it was not a trivial matter, and he hurriedly pointed to the stone and said: "This stone Taoist friend, there is something in Lingyunguan today, you don't want to stand at the gate of the palace, or go back to the wing room to wait a little." ”

The chicken-like embarrassed stone seemed to have received amnesty, and hurriedly returned to the wing, closed the door, leaned his back against the door panel, and chanted: "Immeasurable Tianzun, I can't go again." ”

Chaotian Palace lit with sandalwood, the fragrance was lingering, refreshing, but slightly eased the tense atmosphere.

Zhang Zhenren was full of smiles, sitting on the left side of the head, and sitting on the right side was Zhou Tianxiang, the governor of Jiangxi, and the left squire of the military department, the second grade of the official residence, wearing a scarlet official uniform, a brocade chicken, inlaid with a three-inch small Duke flower, his face was thin, short beard, and he did not smile.

On the side of Zhang Zhenren, there are several elders sitting in turn, the crane hair is relaxed, the Tao is profound, usually retreats and cultivates, never goes out to see guests, Yuandong Zhenren led the disciples to stand in the back row, white Taoist robes, gray Taoist robes, and purple Taoist robes are all in one place, the first Taoist temple in the world, and the Lingyun view is really extraordinary.

On the side of the governor, there is a town guard eunuch Wang Chen, white, thin, the emperor's favored minister, honest and loyal, different from the eunuch Wang Jing, there is also an entourage military attaché, garrison Liu Yanlang, fully armed, chain mail dazzling, standing with a sword, really a martial artist, the other two are wearing the official uniform of the general entourage, beard, reddish face, I don't know what the identity is, what is more strange is that there is a mysterious person wearing a felt hat and a black veil among the entourage, standing in the crowd, I don't know where it came from, Zhang Zhenren has already seen it in his eyes, but it is inconvenient to ask。

The atmosphere in the hall was very delicate, both sides were pretending to observe each other casually, and there was a trace of uneasiness and wariness on their amiable faces, especially when there was a mysterious figure standing in the entourage, which had never happened before.

"I didn't know that Lord Zhou had arrived, and I missed the welcome, please forgive me!" Zhang Zhenren apologized.

"Hey, Zhang Zhenren doesn't have to be like this, the old man deliberately didn't inform him in advance, so as not to alarm the place and disturb the people. ”

"It is a blessing for the people that Zhou cares so much about the people and cherishes the people's livelihood. "Zhang Zhenren's kung fu is as deep as Taoism.

Zhang Zhenren praised it falsely. Lord Zhou talked eloquently.

"I don't know if Master Zhou is here, what do you have to say?" Zhang Zhenren decided to get straight to the point.

"I can't talk about teaching, but there is a serious matter. ”

"Please. ”

Lord Zhou turned his speech sharply and smiled at the eunuch Wang Chen, "Princess, let's declare the holy decree?"

Wang Chen got up and smiled at Lord Zhou: "If you don't say anything more, you're about to suffocate our family!" He stood up straight, took out a yellow cloth silk shaft from his arms, and shouted loudly: "Lingyun Guan Zhang Zhenren takes the order!"

Zhang Zhenren hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the Taoists behind him also knelt down.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says, since I inherit the unification, the country and the people, the river Qinghai Yan, unexpectedly the sudden change of the country's fortunes, three years of drought and flood, the people of Li are displaced, the people sigh, there is Lingyun Guan Zhang Zhenren's high morality, vast mana, please auspicious day, sacrifice to the emperor, protect the country and the people, pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, and surpass the soul, in order to show the emperor's grace and compassion for the people, and admire this!"

After the unique melodious end of the prince, the holy decree was closed, Zhang Zhenren raised his body from the five-body bow to the ground, and respectfully stretched out his hands to receive the holy decree, "Lingyunguan Zhang Zhenren received the decree." ”

In the wings.

The stone hugged his knees, sat on the bed in a daze, not knowing what was happening in the front hall, neither to go, nor to stay, and was in a dilemma.

The bell rang for the evening fast, and the stone opened the door to go out, but he didn't expect Song Weizhuang to walk to the door with a plate of vegetarian dishes and a bowl of rice.

"Stone, I know that you are still staying in the wing, I brought you the evening fast, there are too many people in the front hall, and they are all busy serving the governor, you still don't want to go, you can eat here, wait for me to call someone to clean up." ”

Shi gave a grateful salute, "Thank you, Senior Brother Song, I've really troubled you these past few days." ”

"It's okay, they're all cultivators, besides, you're a guest here, and you're younger than me, so I should take care of you, so eat it while it's hot." ”

The stone is really hungry, buried in eating, Song Weizhuang took this opportunity, hiding in the wing room to be lazy, so he sat down next to the stone, watching the stone eat with relish, he was sent to Lingyunguan as a monk since he was a child, he didn't know anything about his life experience, he was both a disciple and a miscellaneous servant in Lingyunguan, although he also worshipped an elder in the temple as a teacher, because of his reckless qualifications, he didn't learn the real skills, so he naturally couldn't get the favor of the disciples in the view, since that day the stone was humiliated, Liu Dianzong and others were punished, but he was very relieved, sympathetic and appreciative of the stone。

"Eat slowly, don't rush. ”

Shi suddenly remembered something, so he puffed out his cheeks stuffed with food and said, "Senior Brother Song, who is the person who came?"

"Oh, it's the governor of Jiangxi, Zhou Tianxiang, Lord Zhou, and the princes and princes, who have been ordered by the emperor today, and will hold a Luo Tian Dajiao in Guanli tomorrow to sacrifice to the emperor and surpass the soul. ”

"Is that what you do?" said the stone with a wink.

"Yes, yes, it's a practice, but it's not an ordinary ritual. Song Weizhuang looked at the stone and didn't believe it, and aggravated his tone, "Tomorrow's Luo Tian Dajiao, Zhang Zhenren will cast a spell to attract lonely souls and wild ghosts from all directions, use scriptures to overtake their reincarnation, and do a great ritual." ”

"I can recite the Sutra of Immeasurable People, and I can help. The stone finished his meal and wiped his mouth.

After listening to Song Weizhuang's music, he solemnly admonished the stone and said: "Tomorrow's Jiao altar, there will be a hundred ghosts gathering, people who are not high in Taoism are easy to be possessed by resentful ghosts, and the sun is exhausted and die, even I can't go to watch, only Yuandong real people can go, and several elders still have to protect Lord Zhou and Wang Gonggong, you still don't go to cause chaos." ”

The stone let out an "oh", which was regarded as a response to Song Weizhuang's admonition.

In the side hall of Chaotian Palace, the lights are dim.

Zhang Zhenren sat at the top, and Yuandong Zhenren and Yuannan Zhenren stood at the bottom of the steps.

"Master, everything you need for the Jiao Festival has been prepared, please take a look. Yuan Dong Zhenren presented a booklet, Zhang Zhenren received it in his hand, flipped through it slightly, and the thing was returned to the original owner.

Yuan Nanzhen was tall and thin, with a white complexion, no beard, and extremely clever, seeing that the master was a little displeased, he bowed and said: "The necessary things have been prepared, why is the master still worried, is it because the apprentice is not doing his job well? ”

Zhang Zhenren shook his head and said, "The apprentice has worked hard, and the necessary items are all ready, but-" He groaned slightly, and raised his eyes to look at the open hall door.

Yuan Nan Zhenren understood, turned around and came to the outside of the temple gate, looked left and right, turned around and closed the door, and returned to the master.

Zhang Zhenren then continued: "It's just that this time the entourage brought by Lord Zhou is not ordinary, we must be careful, the spiritual root of heaven and earth, maintaining the common people in the world, containing endless spiritual power, the legacy of the ancestors of the past generations, there is no room for loss." ”

Yuandong Zhenren and Yunnan Zhenren suddenly realized, glanced at each other, Yuandong Zhenren: "The master is really observant and far-sighted, the apprentice recalled, among the entourage, there is indeed a mysterious figure covered in black veil, looking at his behavior, mysterious, I don't know what the purpose is." ”

Yuannan Daoren also said: "Master, don't be afraid, the spiritual root of heaven and earth is protected by six Ding stones, which is indestructible, and there are people guarding it day and night, so there is no way to forgive those evil demons." Yuan Dong Zhenren echoed.

"I hope it's just that I'm worried about the teacher, but I can't do without the heart of guarding against people, and I told the disciples in Guanzhong to be strictly vigilant in the near future, and if there is any trouble, we must report it immediately, otherwise we will deal with it according to the rules of the view. Zhang Zhenren said heavily.
