Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 44. The Storm is Coming (Continued)
On the way back to his residence, Sima Wenzhi finally remembered another doubt in his heart.
From the rebellion of the Eight Kings to the present, more than a hundred years later, there is a mighty royal family of the Jin Kingdom here, and the head of the sect should go to the mountain gate to respond, but the mountain gate has not seen the figure of the master Tianchengzi before.
Tian Chengzi knew that the royal family of the Jin Kingdom had not entered the mountain gate when the car had not entered, but he did not go to answer, and at this time he was sitting with Tianyunzi, the head of Yuqing, in the main hall of the Shangqing Palace. Beside the two of them, Xuanli waited left and right.
"Senior brother, earlier today, the head of Yuxiao Palace took the door and arrived at the Yuqing Yimai Ketang. After greetings, Tianyunzi said.
"Before noon today, the junior disciple of Xuanyi Tianpingzi also took the disciple to the Shangqing First Pulse. Yuxiao Palace and Xuanyi Gate are not far away, and they have come one after another, presumably the Mixed Yuan Temple has also arrived in Taiqing Sect. Tian Chengzi responded after hearing this.
"This sect's Yuxiao Palace is in Jingzhou, and it set off very early, and it should have arrived the day before yesterday. Tianyunzi disagreed with what Tianchengzi said, Xuanyi Gate is in Jiangdong, and the distance to Qingxuan Mountain is hundreds of miles farther than Yuxiao Palace.
"What do you mean, senior brother?" Tian Chengzi heard the words and opened his mouth to ask.
"When everyone in Yuxiao Palace arrived in Liangzhou, they encountered an ambush by the demon clan, and there were many skilled practitioners among the candidates determined by Tianquanzi. After a fight, although there was no major damage, the trip was delayed. When Tianyunzi said, he looked at Tianchengzi's face and did not take his eyes away.
"Is there such a thing?" Tian Chengzi looked surprised and asked rhetorically.
"This is not unexpected. Tian Chengzi's reaction was seen by Tian Yunzi, "It has been several years since the Ten Thousand Demons surrounded the mountain, and the power of the demon clan has recovered, and the Yuxiao Palace has dealt with it here." ”
"Then why is Senior Brother here?" asked Tian Chengzi again. He originally thought that Tianyunzi had come here to discuss tomorrow's affairs with him.
"There's something wrong. ”
Tianyunzi replied, expressing the doubts in his heart.
"In the past, the demon clan fought with people, and they were all fearless of death. After this encounter, in the words of Tianquanzi's junior brother, although the demon clan took the initiative to set up an ambush, it was immediately defeated, and it did not entangle and fight. When he retreated, the Five Elements Great Escape Technique was revealed. ”
The Five Elements Great Escape is the method of concealment, which is one of the twelve righteous methods of the Shangqing Sect. Hearing this, Tian Chengzi finally knew what he was here for.
There are no classes in the Shangqing lineage, and there are many demon cultivators in the sect who belong to the Daomen, and Tianyunzi is a little skeptical about this.
"Shangqing is in the first vein, and there is no one to go down the mountain recently. Tian Chengzi opened his mouth to explain.
"Hmm. Tian Yunzi was noncommittal.
"As the senior brother said, there are many strange things. Tian Chengzi opened his mouth and reminded again.
"Indeed, I think the same as my senior brother, and the traces of this matter are too obvious. Tianyunzi opened his mouth to make a stand.
When he told it before, he checked Tianchengzi's eyes several times on purpose, and he never found that he had a pretended calm look.
"The demon clan is about to move, and the Qingxuan Mountain Gate should work together to deal with it. Seeing that Tianyunzi no longer deliberately pursued, Tianchengzi breathed a sigh of relief.
"When it is. Tianyunzi seconded.
Here's the matter, Tianyunzi said goodbye. When he left, Tianchengzi sent him far away from the temple gate.
"What do you think?" asked Tian Chengzi.
After Tianyunzi left, only him and Xuanli were left in the hall, and this question was asked to Xuanli.
"Back to the ancestor, the sect is a major event, and the disciple does not dare to put his beak. Xuan Li replied respectfully.
"It's just you and me, but it's okay to say. Tian Chengzi knew Xuanli's temperament very well, and opened his mouth to dispel the burden in his heart.
"No. "Xuan Li no longer shirks," At this time, the head of Yuqing will no longer pursue this matter, but it is unknown whether he will make trouble again in the future. ”
"Why? Before leaving, he had already made his position clear, the three sects of Qingxuan were all one, and the suspicion of this matter was obvious. After hearing this, Tian Chengzi asked Xuanli.
"Yuqing's position is only forced by the current situation, although this matter is a blame, but the Shangqing spell cast by the demon clan cannot be faked. Even if it is not the work of this sect, others will think that it has a lot to do with it. After Xuan Li finished speaking, he looked at Tian Chengzi.
"yes. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is a false accusation, but it makes you unable to clear your suspicion. After the reversal, he borrowed a knife to kill people, which was really ruthless. Xuanli's words, Tian Chengzi thought it was true.
"Master, how should we deal with this matter?" Seeing that Tian Chengzi agreed with what he said, Xuan Li asked him how to deal with it.
"Don't overreact for a while, or you'll look weak. The wind and rain are coming, and the black hands must have a plan for planting false accusations repeatedly, and we should not be in a hurry to do it. Tian Chengzi thought for a while and then ordered.
"In addition, the guest hall should not be overly monitored. Everyone who comes is from the same family, especially the royal family of the Jin Kingdom. After thinking about it again, Tiancheng commanded again.
"No. Xuanli listened to the order and turned around to leave.
"Where the mad are located, deal with them early. If the words of this person are known to others, there will be no reason for right and wrong. Before leaving, Tianchengzi hesitated and made three decrees.
"The disciple understood. Xuan Li bowed to the door and turned to leave.
When Xuanli received the decree, Sima Wenzhi was tasting food in his residence. He has not yet achieved the technique of Bigu, and the feeling of hunger in his stomach can only be eliminated for a short time, and cannot be completely eliminated.
But he had thought about it carefully, even if he practiced the art of Bigu to the fullest, it would be difficult to quit the appetite. Living in exile for more than a year has made him extremely hungry for food, and there are things that he has the ability to do and must do them.
Moreover, Confucius once said, "Eating and drinking men and women, people's great desires exist." When people live in the world, there are some things that are difficult to give up.
Single-minded, Sima asked him to eat and feed while also thinking about other things.
Before he came back, he had asked General Gao to find out that the people from the royal family of the Jin Kingdom were arranged in the Hakka department. The first room is the upper room, and the six rooms of Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, and Xu are all occupied by them.
Xuanyi and Zhengyi Ermen had a lot of complaints about this, and Sima Wenzhi felt that they had taken advantage.
After all, he still has to see Sima Yingmao, the guest rooms in Part A are all from the Jin Kingdom, and the caretaker will be tight on the outside and loose on the inside. As long as you pass the guards outside the guest room, it won't be too harsh inside.
When he was about to go out, a disciple of the sect came to inform him that on the day of the ceremony, the contemporary ancestor of the Qingxuan Mountain Gate would give a lecture on the three Qing scriptures and spells to benefit all sentient beings.
Subsequently, the three sects all passed down the decree, and after the ancestor gave a lecture, the head of each lineage would also explain the scriptures of this sect. The sect prepares the disciples and visitors to the guest hall, whether it is cultivation or skills, anyone who has questions can ask questions in court.
Sima Wenzhi originally thought that the three veins in Qingxuan Mountain were respected, but at this time, he knew that there were other people in the head.
Seeing off the messenger disciples, Sima Wenzhi walked towards the guest hall. As soon as I arrived outside the guest hall, I heard the sound of laughter inside. After approaching and inquiring, I learned that the people of the various sects had also learned the news, and they were laughing and discussing cultivation at this time.
There are many people, there is a lot of noise, and there is no possibility of mixing in in front of everyone's eyes. In desperation, he had no choice but to leave.
As Sima Wenzhi left, a person walked out of the shadows. Glancing at his back, he walked to one of the guest rooms in Part A and walked inside.
"Dao Chief, have you seen it clearly this time?" There was another person in the room, bald and black-robed, who was a monk in the convoy of the Jin Kingdom during the day.
"I saw it clearly this time. Master, this little boy is indeed the person we are looking for on this trip. After the visitor entered the door, he closed the bolt of the door, and after finding out that no one was watching within a hundred steps, he opened his mouth and replied to the monk in the house.
"What about him. With the bait in hand, when will the fish take the bait?" the monk said, in a quiet tone.
