Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 58. a narrow escape
After those people went yesterday, there are people coming again today. Unlike yesterday, just after noon, people arrived in the Shangqing Palace.
The rhetoric of the first two days of Xuanli is no longer valid at this time. A few people came with suspicion, and finally it turned into a siege above words.
Among the people who came, there was a transformation demon cultivator, who was straightforward and fast-talking, and he didn't care what he said. After hearing this, Xuanli's face was a little embarrassed.
There are also old and mature people, although their words are polite, but their momentum is aggressive.
Xuanli had no choice but to make a promise to a few people that Tianchengzi, the presiding officer, would return tomorrow at noon. Otherwise, the crowd is free to leave.
Several people got a definite reply and went back satisfied. When leaving, some people wanted to stop talking, and wanted to ask about the gift of curiosities. Xuanli pretended not to see it and twisted his head to the side, and the person was disappointed when he saw this.
Tian Chengzi did not say when he would be able to return, this matter was Xuanli's decision without authorization, and it was also a last resort. Plans are always out of control, and if they don't, things get out of his control.
Compared with the secular sects of the Shangqing Dynasty, the people from the imperial court of the Jin Kingdom did not seem to be in a hurry. Jiankang is the farthest away from Yizhou, and they should leave first. However, no one came to inform or inquire.
But Xuanli most hoped that the Jin Imperial Court would leave quickly.
These people all ask for three meals a day, and they have a great appetite, which consumes a lot of food in the sect.
In particular, there were a few monks who demanded high-quality meat for every meal, which caused him and the head of the canteen a headache.
Xuanli is waiting, and in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, Guangmingzi and the others are also waiting. Guangming Zi and Sima asked, and Tian Chengzi was still waiting for the reply of the disciples in the sect.
When he returned to Shangqing Peak before, in addition to explaining Xuanli, he also ordered several other people. The guest hall has been monitored, and there are already people rushing to the capital of the Jin Kingdom. Unlike Xuanli, he left a way for these disciples to reply to him.
It takes a few days to go to Jiankang, and there is no news at this time. The guest hall has returned from the news yesterday, and there is no abnormality. When Tian Chengzi heard it, he instructed them to wait and probe again and inform them in time.
Before the time passed, after three days of pregnancy in Tianyuan Pool, Sima asked for a reaction. Tian Chengzi heard the sound and hurriedly went to check.
I don't know what the situation is when Sima asks, Tianchengzi can only be careful to investigate the spirit. After the investigation, it cannot be confirmed, and the position is voluntarily relinquished. Guangming Zi was also on the side, and when he saw this, he stepped forward to investigate again.
"Nine deaths, one life. ”
After a while, Guangmingzi opened his mouth to be convinced. Sima Wenzhi's previously damaged veins have been repaired. In the dantian, the aura of the previous loss has gradually been replenished.
"Water..."
Soon after Guangming Zi's investigation, in the Tianyuan Pool, Sima asked to speak. Although he was recovering from his serious injuries, he was still extremely weak at this time, and he did not open his eyes when he spoke.
After hearing this, Tianchengzi hurriedly fetched clear water, and was stopped by Guangmingzi when he was about to feed him. If he is fed water, he will still fall asleep after swallowing, and at this moment, it is better to wake up than to continue to be unconscious.
The stomach was extremely hungry and thirsty, but no one handed the water and rice for a long time, Sima Wenzhi was half unconscious, and his heart became more and more anxious. Soon after, the anxiety took effect, and he opened his eyes.
"How do you feel at this time?" Seeing him wake up, Guangmingzi asked.
"Water. Sima Wenzhi was weak in his body, and most of what he said was based on instinct. Guangmingzi no longer hindered him, and after taking the water, he personally fed him.
"Hungry. Just after drinking the water, Sima Wenzhi spoke again. Although the Origin Aura can repair the bloodline, it cannot fill the stomach. He had not eaten for several days, and he was now hungry.
"I told you a few days ago that the good student studied the Bigu technique. I'm lazy on weekdays, but now I know how powerful I am?"
Sima asked Zhi to detect hunger and thirst in his stomach, indicating that there was no major problem. The rest of the things are mostly recuperation, and Guangmingzi's heart is greatly settled. After settling down, he opened his mouth and asked Sima Zhi.
Regardless of the cost of the previous payment, when he gave it a go, he was apprehensive in his heart, and at this time he got the expected return, and Guangmingzi also had a lot of comfort in his heart.
After Sima asked, he was not afraid. He heard Guangmingzi's tone, not to investigate.
That night in the guest house, he knew that he was mortal. At this time, he was trying to survive in death, although he didn't know what price Guangmingzi paid, he could guess that the price was very big.
Although there is a sect affection, the grace of dripping water should also be reciprocated. This matter is the grace of the spring, and he does not know how to repay it in the future.
Tian Chengzi summoned the Shangqing disciple and sent him to the dining hall to prepare for food. Sima Wenzhi's serious injuries have not healed, and the preparation of the food is extremely exquisite. The head of the dining hall was worried about the food of the people from the Jin Kingdom, and after seeing this, he was a little resistant.
But after hearing that this matter was personally ordered by Tianchengzi, resistance turned into an active acceptance. There are priorities, people are close and close, and the refined meat prepared for the monks of the Jin Kingdom was replaced by him with tofu.
In the time between preparing to eat, Sima asked him to be able to say something intermittently. Tian Chengzi interrupted him from time to time and asked some key things, but he did not hide it and told him.
After the unitary time, after watching Sima Wenzhi eat, Tianchengzi left again. This time, he did not go to the Shangqing Hall again, but returned directly to his residence. Although his cultivation is superb, he has not rested well for several days, and he can't resist the fatigue around him.
Before he went to sleep, he sent someone to summon the disciple he had chosen in his heart again and gave another command.
Sima Wenzhi had already told him and his uncle Guangmingzi about the matter, but Guangmingzi did not say a word after hearing it. Tianchengzi will understand, this matter is in the Shangqing Sect, Guangmingzi will not interfere, he can let it go.
As soon as the second day arrived, Tianchengzi went to the Shangqing Hall to wait before eating. He has long been proficient in the art of Bigu, and if it weren't for the whim to satisfy his appetite, he wouldn't need to eat on weekdays.
Not long after, Xuanli came, and after seeing Tianchengzi, the worry in his eyes was swept away and turned into joy. In recent days, he has weighed on many burdens in his heart, and the return of Tianchengzi has eliminated all these burdens.
"How are these days?" Before Xuan Li stepped forward to greet him, Tian Chengzi asked him first.
"Many people came to say goodbye, and they were all appeased. Xuan Li replied truthfully.
"Is there anything unusual you can perceive?" Tian Chengzi seemed to point and asked him again.
"It seems that the reaction of the people did not see anything abnormal, but Jiankang was the farthest away from here, and the Imperial Court of the Jin Kingdom should have left first. But to this day, no one has come to inform him, let alone come to resign. Xuanli didn't know what Tianchengzi was alluding to, so he could only speculate about himself.
After Xuanli said, Tian Chengzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Sima Wenzhi could not be sure that the attacker was from the Jin Imperial Court, the matter had nothing to do with them. He had been worried that the Jin Imperial Court had forcibly left, and he was relieved at this time.
Xuanli didn't know the inside story, but what he said was not wrong, and the reaction of the people from the Jin Imperial Court was indeed abnormal. Abnormal things must be strange, and why they are strange is unknown.
"Are they bent on death, or are they relying on something?" Tian Chengzi muttered to himself.
