Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 52. Send someone to meet
After Shen Shi, disciples came back one after another, and after Xuanli went out, he called one person to inquire about the results of the subsequent competition.
The monks of the Divine Human Realm competed in three games, Taiqing had three byes, and Shangqing won two after the competition.
In the last eight games, Shangqing Zong won four. After several years of mountain closure, the first three-vein competition after the opening of the mountain gate, Shangqing Sect once again came out on top.
Halfway through the unitary hour, Sima asked Xuanli to leave. Tian Chengzi said that he wanted to protect his life, he knew what he meant, but he was not worried about it.
Although Huang Xiao is not a gentleman, he is not a villain. It had been a few days since Ling Shuang left, and if he had deliberately wounded people with a secret arrow, he would not have waited until today.
After Xuanli left, Sima Wenzhi summoned the disciples of the sect and went to General Gao's house to invite him over. He listened to all the conversations between Tian Chengzi and Tian Yunzi on the stone platform, and most of the time something would happen tonight.
Before General Gao arrived, a disciple of the sect came to inform him. The decree was given in the door, and after the unitary time, whether it was a disciple or a miscellaneous servant, the Shangqing lineage needed to stay in the residence and not go out, let alone walk outside the residence.
Not long after, General Gao came, and Sima asked him to tell him in a low voice about the entrusted matter. As the hour passed, General Gao left in a hurry.
After General Gao left, although Sima Wenzhi was still tired, he did not sleep, and lay on his side on the bed thinking about things. Everything that had happened during the day passed through his mind like a picture, and finally settled on the face that was covered by a veil.
At three o'clock, when he was drowsy, Sima Wenzhi suddenly noticed a slight disturbance of the aura, and then the disturbance became bigger and bigger.
Before, he was lying down with his clothes, and now he didn't need to dress for a long time, and between a few breaths, he quickly got out of bed and walked to the back window.
Although someone had told him not to leave his residence before, Sima Wenzhi had already thought of a solution. When he got to the window, he stuck out his finger and poked a hole in the window paper and looked out.
His eyes were empty, and he couldn't see anything but darkness, but the aura that poured in from the hole became more and more awe-inspiring.
Sima was not satisfied, and when he saw this, he expanded the previous hole to both sides until he could poke out his head. The prohibition only says that you should not go outside the house, and most of your body is still in the house after the head is poked out, which should not be considered a disobedience.
The aura disturbance comes from the back mountain, and I don't know what the reason is. It began at three o'clock and did not subside until the end of the hour.
After subsided, I waited for another half an hour, and nothing unusual happened. When sleepiness hit, he could no longer resist the fatigue, and lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
At two o'clock in the next day, someone brought the morning food, and Sima Wenzhi woke up from his deep sleep. He intended to ask the visitor about yesterday night, and the visitor did not know.
When this person left, Sima Wenzhi opened his mouth to ask if there were any handymen in the sect who repaired the residence. The person who came did not reply directly, but only said that he would inform the door and send someone to repair it.
After eating for a long time, no one came to inform me of today's arrangement. From Chenshi to Shenshi, Sima Wenzhi did not go out, and had been waiting for General Gao to come in his residence. Yesterday, the two of them agreed that General Gao would come to inform them as soon as the results of the entrusted matter were available.
Sima asked about the same thing as asking the disciples who sent them to the court.
General Gao mostly inquired about the news from the miscellaneous servants, and the news of the miscellaneous servants mostly came from the low-level disciples in the sect. General Gao did not come, indicating that the disciple was not lying.
After the Shen time, the repair and miscellaneous servants came.
During the conversation, Sima Wenzhi learned that the disciples and miscellaneous servants who were in charge of the renovation of the residence had not rested all day. Last night, there were dozens of damaged window papers in the residence of the disciples of the Shangqing First Line.
When the repairer complained that the window paper was unusable, Sima Wenzhi felt ashamed in his heart.
The window paper has been soaked in water and oil three times before use, and it will not be damaged by wind and rain, and it will not be damaged overnight. This person's complaint is deliberately told to him, material resources are difficult, and don't deliberately damage it in the future.
Wait the next day, and General Gao will come when noon is about to pass. After entering the house, he first confirmed that he was not followed, and then told the news of the discovery.
The day before yesterday, the three-vein competition, the competition between the Taoist and the disciples of the Divine and Human Realm did not end after the competition. At three o'clock, the monks of the three-vein ghost fairy realm were practicing magic in the back mountain.
It is said that there are three veins, but in fact there are only Shangqing Sect and Yuqing Sect. Somehow, Taiqing took the initiative to have byes in all three games.
In the first two competitions, the Shangqing monks were defeated by Yuqing. Only in the last game, the two veins were in charge of the game in person, and Tianchengzi found a game and barely won Tianyunzi.
The day before yesterday, the Shangqing First Pulse won the first place during the day, and waited until the night when it was the turn of the Yuqing First Pulse to win. It seems to be on par, but there are differences.
The following is the future of the sect in the realm of gods and men, and the realm of ghosts and fairies is the present of the sect. The Yuqing pulse won the present, and the Shangqing pulse won the future.
After General Gao finished speaking, Sima asked his heart to be at ease.
When the Shangqing Palace discussed the three-vein competition, the candidate for the monk of the Ghost Fairy Realm was decided, so the competition the night before yesterday was not all because of him.
But the day before yesterday on the stone platform during the day, the matter between him and Huang Xiao finally had an impact on the three-pulse competition. During the palace discussion, the monks of the Ghost Fairy Realm decided that there were two people, but during the competition the night before, there were three people. The scene between Shangqing and Yuqing, most of which was added temporarily.
There is both shame, and Sima asks and is happy.
Although this matter is passive, it does have a lot to do with him. "Wound 10,000 enemies, lose 8,000 yourself", Tianchengzi in General Gao's words "barely wins", it is very likely that this is the case.
Fortunately, Shi Botian Chengzi won this time and somewhat regained some face.
"Uncle Gao, has there been any news about another matter?" The matter of the three veins has been asked, and Sima Zhi opened his mouth to ask about the second thing entrusted to him.
"The Three Veins of the Worldly Sect will leave one after another in the next two days. Xuanyi Gate and Yuxiao Palace are far away from here, and they have already gone down the mountain before the end of the day. General Gao opened his mouth and told him what he knew.
"What about the people from the imperial court of the Jin Kingdom?" Although Sima Wenzhi's entrustment was to investigate the movements of Qingxuan's visitors, he was more concerned about the royal family of the Jin Kingdom.
No specific information has been identified. When Xuanyi Gate and Yuxiao Palace left before noon today, I took advantage of the chaos to enter the guest hall and check the guards in the guest room of Part A, hoping to have old acquaintances, but I didn't see them. Sima asked about the entrustment, General Gao knew the inside story, there was no progress in this matter, and there was also loss in his tone.
"However, after the departure of the Three Veins Worldly Sect, the people from the Jin Kingdom will not stay for long, and they will leave in a few days. Although he couldn't bear it, General Gao still made a supplement and said his speculation.
Sima Wenzhi nodded slightly after hearing this, General Gao thought the same as him.
Before feeding, General Gao left, and only Sima Wen was left in the house.
Idle, he took out the Great Cave Sutra and studied it carefully. The events of the day before yesterday touched him a lot, and those who have attained the cultivation of things are respected. If he was similar to Huang Xiao's cultivation, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Since there was nothing to do, the time of study was about to pass, and Sima asked him to rest. Yesterday night he was lying in his clothes, and he didn't rest steadily, and he already felt a little tired.
As he was about to remove the crown belt, footsteps sounded outside the dwelling, getting closer and nearer, and becoming more and more urgent. Sima asked him, thinking that General Gao had found out the news again, and got up and got out of bed to greet him. Before the door, the window paper broke, and a brocade box flew in through the window, and then the footsteps quickly disappeared.
When I opened the door, there was no one outside. Turning around to check the brocade box, Sima Wenzhi knew that the ornament on it belonged to the royal family of the Jin Kingdom.
Inside the box, there was only one note. After opening, two columns of small characters came into view.
"Whenever it rains, when my right hand is swollen and painful, I think about my brother. ”
"Tomorrow, the sea and the son intersect, the Jiazi room. ”
