Chapter 183: Going to Beijing (2)
The fifteenth day of the lunar month is the Dharma meeting agreed by the head of the Dragon and Tiger Sect Qingyu. His puja was mainly aimed at the people of the Jindanmen in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and he did not send an invitation to the Sword Sect, and none of the figures of the Sword Sect came.
The opening of the altar of the peak of the Yuan Infant is a grand event once every few years. The people of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Gate all squeezed out their leisure to be taught, and the characters of the branch also took the time to come as much as possible, and some small inheritances also asked for a relationship to join the cave to listen.
The festival is held in front of the main hall of the Huiyuan in Xiangrui Town, the summer residence of the emperors of Middle-earth in ancient times.
When Pian Pian and I went, people from all walks of life had already gathered in front of the hall. I have been to the main hall of the courtyard many times, and the scene has changed greatly today. It seems that there is a Dharma realm covering the spiritual mountain, and the spiritual mountain has become an endless sea of lotus flowers, and all the people who listen to the lecture sit on a lotus seat.
From the beginner fairy seedlings to the Yuan Ying who cheered as guests, there were no less than 10,000 people on the lotus sea -- and many simple mountain people in the town who joined in the excitement were also put into the venue by the Yellow Turban Lux. But the sea of lotus does not seem to be crowded in the slightest. The rosettes vary in size, are scattered, and are sparsely distributed. Amazingly, from the position of each rosette, you can clearly see the main rosette of the head of Qingyu.
Along the way, I exchanged pleasantries with Taoist friends I had made in the rest of the month. At the entrance of the meeting, Pian Pian motioned for me not to fly into the rosette, which seemed disrespectful to the host. Suddenly, a Qingjun Taoist boy came in a lotus boat and carried all of us into the depths of the lotus pond.
Princess Lin's place is by no means hard to find - she is not only the beautiful girl at the top of the festival, but also wearing a dazzling robe, which is no more conspicuous.
Halfway through the lotus boat, I saw Shi Ziming, the superintendent of Nanhai Province, whom I knew when I was in Lingyamen, and hurriedly waved my hand to greet him. I told him that Layue had already received the top-grade water spirit root that he had brought me around, and now more than half of it has been refined.
- Actually, for more than a month, I have also refined the earth spirit roots harvested from the Falling Star Cave Heaven in the past. Based on this, with my current cultivation, it will probably take more than half a year to refine the two spirit beads of water and soil. At that time, my five spiritual roots will be completed, and I only need to investigate the heart pass, and the day of the achievement of the Dao fetus is just around the corner.
Shi Ziming even claimed to be good.
Pian Pian chatted with him about Shangguan Tianquan's recent situation in the South China Sea, and by the way, wished Shi Ziming a smooth official journey. Shi Ziming laughed at himself that it was difficult for him to enter the realm of cultivation, but he inherited our tailwind and developed in the official career.
"Our Kunlun people are scarce in Middle-earth, and even fewer people are in the official journey. This time, the sect has the ambition to make a name for itself in Middle-earth, and I will probably be promoted from the Nankaido Inspector to the Beijing official. Four products moved to three products, and the Ministry of Rites Yaqing knew the affairs of the Shangqing Palace. β
ββShangqing Palace?Know about Shangqing Palace?
My mind was spinning.
For more than a month, listening to the book demons in the Fazang Academy, the bragging was not in vain.
I remember that the Shangqing Palace is the only official palace in Kunlun in Middle-earth. In fact, it only occupies more than 100 acres of wasteland in the northwest suburbs of the imperial capital, which is presided over by a number of Benmen Jindan, and gives rest to the people who come and go to Middle Earth. This palace is as crowded as Xingzong's Zixiao Palace in the imperial capital. The so-called "knowledge of the affairs of the Qing Dynasty" is supposed to be an official position that communicates the reputation of the imperial court and Kunlun, but for hundreds of years it was only a false name - because Kunlun did little in Middle-earth.
Wenhou Ji Xiaoai suggested to the Son of Heaven. The imperial court plans to expand the Shangqing Palace to reward our sect for its achievements in eliminating demons in Yunmeng. The Empress Dowager and the general Yang Pengnian (also the national abbot) both competed to donate their other houses to our sect first. Therefore, knowing that the affairs of the Shangqing Palace, which will be heavy and abnormal in the future, will fall on the shoulders of those who are not as talented as me. β
Shi Ziming smiled bitterly,
"I will ask Ji Zhenren to invite more people to support me. I, an alchemist, can't stop those arrogant Sword Sect people from plotting and scheming. β
We all smiled, and the lotus boat rowed towards Princess Lin.
The rest of the rosettes around the girl were unmanned, and five cloth tigers were placed on the lotus, black, white, red, and blue.
The girl specially left two lotus platforms close to her for me and Pianpian, and the other two lotus platforms for the lion who knew Yihe Jizo - it seems that Princess Lin is not in a bad mood, and she can still remember to leave a lotus platform for Liu Ziyue.
Fengmeng took out the book "The Book of Mountains and Seas and Floods" in the treasure bag and gave it to her. Princess Lin bowed to this sutra and then carefully accepted the ring. Feng Meng took refuge on Princess Lin's lotus platform to cool off, and continued to salivate and delve into the flower and bird album it had borrowed from the Fazang Academy.
The girl's white jade feet without socks stepped on the back of the black and white bear, swaying around, rubbing against the plush carpet.
The girl also took out a handkerchief and gave it to the bear,
"Fengmeng, wipe your saliva. A flower and bird album is not a recipe collection. When you can distinguish this, you can hopefully form a human. β
The Jizo lion has already sat on the lotus platform where the black cloth tiger was originally placed, and it also asked Fengmeng for a picture album of flowers and birds to admire.
"I prefer the horse paintings of the Terran painter Han Daozi. Fat, thin and greasy, to my taste. Jizo Lion commented while watching.
"I prefer Old Man Shiraishi's August chrysanthemum crab picture, the paste soup is so thick. I don't know if you can taste it when you go to the imperial capital. Hehehehehe. Feng Meng muttered while wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
The two beasts compete with each other.
Before the puja meeting of the head of Qingyu had begun, nearly 20 dragon and tiger primordial infants had already taken their seats on their respective lotus platforms, and those who could not be present asked their disciples or nephews to offer gifts.
Pian Pian had brought a gift for her father Shangguan Tianquan in advance. Dragon and Tiger are the other two real people at the peak of Yuanying: Qingxu followed Shangguan Tianquan to fight with the Ao family in the South China Sea, and Qingwei was in the Zongmen coalition army in the north of the imperial capital. They all commissioned their respective disciples to come.
Yan Caixia, the master of the Dragon and Tiger Demon Academy, and Mi Zifang, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect who belonged to the Dragon and Tiger Sect (now counted as the master of the Dragon and Tiger Branch), were still arguing with the Sword Sect in Yelang City in southern Xinjiang, and they couldn't come.
Ji Liuli and Nanao Su don't know where they ran again. I haven't seen the two of them since the last time Yashe convened, and I'm probably still active in the Imperial Capital Banquet.
Princess Lin was looking at a scroll of paintings to relieve her boredom, her brows tightened, as if she was meditating on something, and there was also a picture scroll given to her by Princess Lin in her hand, and the girl in Tsing Yi couldn't help but let out a sound of praise.
I was curious about Princess Wanglin's picture. The girl deliberately leaned over to prevent me from looking.
- But with a little shadow, I know what the painting is.
There are two scrolls, one of which is a heroic girl dressed in a purple scale soft armor uniform. The purple scale armor was inlaid with the scales of the insects eating the dust, and my lion armor was a four-turn treasure armor, and the other scroll was painted with the same girl's white dress and makeup, embroidered with delicate peonies.
The painter caught a little shadow of a star, which has attracted the envy of two beauties. But I know: the real life of the girl is ten times that of the painting, and the beauty of the city.
I was unhappy and a little nervous.
"I couldn't suppress my curiosity, so I asked Mr. Su to find a famous painter in the imperial capital to copy your sister's appearance - such a handsome beauty is really your sister? β
Princess Lynn pointed at me and the eyes and noses of the people who painted them.
"My mother is a delicate lady in the imperial capital, why can't she give birth to my sister! When I was young, I was as beautiful as my sister. It's just that I drifted on the sea, in and out of the wind and frost, and I grew more and more rigid like my father. β
I plead.
She chuckled.
"Your sister was also shipwrecked, and later became the leader of the rebel army, isn't she also drifting on land and water, and her face is not damaged at all. It's you who have been crooked since you were a kid - hahaha. Ah, listening to the news of the Manying Society, this time I met the Son of Heaven in Middle Earth, and your sister borrowed to live in the Wenhou Mansion. Wenhou Ji Xiao Ai is the best son of the turbid world, and you and your sister can be a pair. Ah, there is also a second son in the Ji family, and he is also a rare beautiful boy in the world......"
"How could she be messing with these people!-Hey, my sister has something for me, don't hide it!"
My face was unconsciously a little gloomy.
"Where, Princess Lin didn't bother your sister, she just asked the painter to copy a few paintings. We all know that you don't want to divide the heart of the Lantern Festival Fighting Law because of the reunion of your sister and brother. β
Pian Pian said urgently, and then added,
"Wenhou, I know very well, it is impossible to have strange thoughts about the elder sister of the junior brother, the second son of the Ji family is only a child of more than ten years old, and there is no such thing - Princess Lin, don't scare the former junior brother. β
ββI coveted the great beauty when I was a child, and you are not men, how do you know that children will not have intentions towards Murong Zhi?
I'm still a little upset.
"I just like to see him in a hurry. The girl narrowed her almond eyes and lazily stretched her waist.
"Ahh Gongsun Wenlong has also come to listen to the puja!"
Princess Lin suddenly pointed to the lotus boat rowing towards the lotus platform near us.
The lotus boat was guarded by twelve yellow turban wrestlers with guns and hammers. In the boat, a man in white with a beautiful face like a girl looked around, and a small hippopotamus wandered on the boat, like a ghost. The man's mud pill palace was sealed with gold letters, and another black smoke chain tethered the little hippopotamus ghost to the boat. The man's shoulder blade is the most striking, and a hook knife penetrates through the man's left shoulder blade and then through the right shoulder blade.
ββI studied at Fu Bao Academy for a month, and my eyesight really improved greatly.
The little hippopotamus is the primordial god of the primordial infant demon beast Bai Ting. His old body was completely destroyed, his new leakless golden body was not condensed, and the wounds of the Yuan Shen were not recovered. Now forbidden to him, the black smoke of the Yuan Shen is an extremely powerful five-turn magic weapon.
The sigil that sealed the dragon shaoyin god was slightly inferior, and what was powerful was the magic weapon and treasure soldier that imprisoned his body. The five-turn hook knife destroyed most of the meridians in Long Shao's body, leaving only one vein for Long Shao's breath to continue to stop. Daomen imprisoned the Jindan warriors with this set of ruthless methods.
These two demons have suffered in the prison for several months, and today they have seen the light of day, except for the weakness of the wolf, and their cultivation has not fallen. Since they were able to get out of the prison, it seems that the sect is ready to exchange the two demon and evil captives back.
- I couldn't help but feel happy for the two demons in my heart.
Jizo lions also go - lick the face of the dragon less affectionately.
"Long Shao, the Dragon and Tiger Sect didn't miss your loot. "I greeted Long Shao warmly.
"It's just that I was blackmailed a lot by the prison Jindan. β
Long Shaoxiao,
"You don't have to be surprised - the same blackmail tactics were used by the demons and my father when they seized the tickets. If you don't beat us in righteousness, how can you control the world?"
("I'll give you back.") I preached his thoughts.
"This intention is to lead for Long Shao. A strong voice came from afar. I looked around and saw another lotus boat approaching us. In the center of the lotus boat is the head of the festival, Qing Yu, and next to him is Fang Lingyan, the Jindan elder of the Demon Wandering Courtyard (now I know from the discussion of the book demons: he is a member of the Qingwei Zhenren of the Dragon and Tiger Sect). It was the man who spoke upright, an iron-backed blue wolf standing beside the head of Qing Yu.
The wolf demon wears Chinese costumes and looks as stocky as a bear. It faintly exudes the scent of a primordial infant.
"This person's title is Zhao Slow Bear. It was a messenger sent by the lord of the Rakshasa country to exchange the white listening demon beast and the dragon tattooed nephew. β
Fang Lingyan introduced us to us.
"This time, on behalf of the lord of the country, I also discussed the truce between the two sides with the Kunlun Dragon and Tiger Sect. β
The wolf demon said quietly.
As soon as the lotus pond was silent, the people immediately became commotionous.
The scale of the demon tide in the imperial capital this time is the largest in the past hundred years, Xiao Longyuan has connected all the demon and evil forces, and the sect has so far held on the big river with the demons. Who knew that at this low-key festival, the wolf demon did not expect to say the shocking news that Xiao Longyuan was going to suspend his army.
"The generous gift of the lord of the Rakshasa country, Qing Yu did not dare to take it arbitrarily, and he had to discuss it with Kunlun's teachers and friends. β
Qingyu said.
The wolf demon smiled and jumped into the lotus boat of Gongsun Wenlong. He bit off his wolf claw and smeared the dripping wolf blood on the black smoke chain that tied Bai Ting, and the smoke immediately dissipated, and Bai Ting's Yuan Shen moved freely; The wolf demon's wolf claws rested on the hook knife that pierced Long Shao.
"I'm going to take it out. The wolf demon said.
Long Shao frowned slightly, and the hook knife had already been pulled out of his body.
Long Shao's body and flesh soared.
"It's cool. Long Shao smiled.
The wolf demon's claws were wiped on the five-turn hook knife and shook once. The hook knife made a crisp sound, turning into quicksand and sliding from the wolf's claws into the lotus pond. The five-turn magic weapon was shattered by the wolf demon with one blow.
Gongsun Wenlong's hollow body quickly derived flesh and blood, and he regained the aura of a terrifying warrior, and the corners of his mouth showed the same evil smile as ever.
The yellow turban wrestlers on the lotus boat unconsciously beat the spear and hammer. The head of Qing Yu made a gesture.
The wrestlers put away their hammers.
The wolf demon brought Gongsun Wenlong and Bai Ting back to the big lotus boat of the head of Qing Yu.
Its gaze suddenly turned to Princess Lin.
"The head of my family has long admired the name of the head of the Luo Shen family, and it is really no less than Princess Yao back then!"
Princess Lin smiled heartily, "If you have something to say quickly, you don't have to detour - I heard Princess Yao's name say Zhao Slowbear, and she has always been scheming." β
In front of everyone's eyes, the wolf demon solemnly took out a secret letter coated with gold clay from the ring,
"This time I came to Guishan, and the lord of the country also entrusted the following third thing: the lord of my family told me that this private letter must be delivered to Princess Lin by hand. β
I and everyone looked at the girl and the wolf demon.
ββWhat strange conspiracy is the demons of the Northern Wilderness fighting?
I don't understand.
Princess Lynn tossed the letter back to the wolf demon.
"Although I am the descendant of the White Tiger Demon, I am also from Kunlun Sect, and I don't have anything to carry on the back of the two elders. Tell everyone what the letter is about!"
Zhao Slowbear groaned, and then opened the golden clay secret letter,
β...... In four years, the king of my family will no longer allow all souls under his rule to go to the Divine Power Conference-"
A primordial infant asked sharply,
"The sect has always been inclusive. Xiao Longyuan is ashamed of himself for killing his father and teacher, and he doesn't have the face to go to the meeting;
Slow Bear didn't look at him, and continued to read the letter,
β...... Four years later, my family mainly invited the inheritance of the remaining six demons in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to plan to create the Flood Desolation Sect. He also set up the holy throne of the Seven Great Saints, and waited for the princess with the rank of the White Tiger Saint. β
-- The inheritance of the Seven Demons is either interrupted or declined. How could Xiao Longyuan confidently make up enough demon numbers. Let's talk about opening a sect and establishing a sect: Does Xiao Longyuan have the qualifications to return to the void?
Pian Pian and I looked at each other, and the people at the lotus pond were in an uproar.
Princess Lin was quiet for a long time,
"I'm not going. β
She said.
The wolf demon put away the letter,
"I have already reached all the news of the lord of the country. Princess Lin, the future is not easy to talk about now. β
Zhao Slow Xiong turned to the head of Qing Yu and puffed out his wolf paws,
"It's been a delay. In the next wash, I listened to the head of Qingyu talking about the mysterious avenue. β
The head of Qing Yu smiled lightly and ascended to the main lotus.
The nature is ethereal, and the fragrance is refreshing. The puja begins.
