Chapter 128: Entering Beijing
It has been more than half a year since I returned to Huashan in September last year, and when I was in Jiangnan last year, I heard that hundreds of believers had been exiled from the country for spreading the teachings of the Five Virtues and leaking the five virtues and fallacies. Yue Buqun wanted to go to Guanwai at that time, but later delayed the trip due to many things. Now that I have time, I can take a trip outside the gate. I just don't know if those believers were pardoned by the government because Emperor Hongzhi made the head of the Five Virtues Sect the position of Dazhen. But I think they are just some sinners, and if there is no one to cry out for them, I am afraid that they will only die of old age outside the gate.
Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong said that Ning Zhong was sympathetic, and he wanted to go with Yue Buqun at the moment. was originally a newlywed Yan'er, but he was tossed for more than half a year due to poisoning in the middle, and Yue Buqun naturally did not want to part with Ning Zhong. And Qin Nu gave birth to three sons to manage, and he felt that he couldn't stand Ning Zhongze, and refused to intervene in the world that disturbed the two. Yue Buqun had to instruct Qin Nu to teach his son to practice his internal skills diligently, which would be very beneficial to his body, so he and Ning Zhong left together.
If you want to save those hundreds of believers, it is better to find your apprentice Bai Xiaoyun first. Bai Xiaoyun won the favor of Emperor Hongzhi, and while Emperor Hongzhi belittled other Taoists, he looked at Bai Xiaoyun differently, and specially confiscated a Taoist temple in the capital, giving Bai Xiaoyun as the master, and leaving Bai Xiaoyun to talk in Beijing from time to time. The apprentice has a future, but Yue Buqun is not jealous, just like Chongyang Zhenren was named the emperor because of his disciple, is Chongyang Zhenren still jealous of his disciple being favored by the emperor.
Traveling all the way north, Yue Buqun thought that he would appear as the leader of the Five Virtues Sect, and he didn't want to coincide with Yue Buqun's identity. So halfway through, according to the secret medical method of the Tianshan Sect, two human-like masks were made from pig skin. However, there are still similarities between the mask and Yue Buqun Ning Zhongze, only acquaintances can see that they are the same person, and those who are not familiar will only think that they are not the same people.
When they came to the capital, the prosperity of the capital surprised Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong, they had seen a lot of people, but they had never seen so many people. The crowd was full of people, and there were no edges as far as the eye could see, but there were all human heads. Walking forward is all about moving, just like the traffic jam in the capital in later generations. At this time, the quality of the people in the capital is extremely high, no matter how blocked they are, they don't see the noise, but they keep chatting with others, and the tone is not high, and they are polite. Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong were greatly impressed.
Yue Buqun asked others about the Feiyun Temple where Bai Xiaoyun was, and the person was very patient to explain them one by one, and he was even afraid that Yue Buqun would not be able to find them, so he wanted to lead them in person. Yue Buqun thanked him again and again, and the man just did it. Ning Zhong was so upset that she wanted to fly on the roof and walk, Yue Buqun hurriedly pulled her back, and this girl didn't look at the place, and it was another major incident if she messed up, just like the one in Turpan City.
After half a day of blocking people, I finally came to Feiyun Temple. Feiyun Temple is in the north city, covers a large area, in addition to the Taoist Palace Sanqing Hall and other worship palaces, it can also be inhabited by hundreds of people. In the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, it can be regarded as an extremely expensive place. The incense in the view is extremely prosperous, but the entry and exit are basically high-ranking officials and noble ladies, and even the rich people in cloth are extremely rare, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong are equipped with long swords and are generally dressed, and they are stopped by the Taoist priest at the door, Yue Buqun accompanied the smile and asked about the whereabouts of the master.
The Taoist priest didn't answer, his strange eyes rolled to the sky, and he stretched out a white hand. Yue Buqun was puzzled, thinking of the jokes of the later generations, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly took out ten taels of silver. The Zhike Taoist priest was too little, Yue Buqun had to take out another ingot of ten taels of silver, and the Zhike Taoist priest smiled happily and said: "Feiyunzi Zhenren went to the palace to meet Long live, and he will have to wait an hour to come back." If the good believer wants to see a real person, he needs to pay another hundred taels of incense silver. However, there are so many people waiting to be seen that if the good believer wants to be in the front, he needs to pay five hundred taels of silver before he can receive him as soon as the real person returns. ”
Ning Zhong saw that Yue Buqun was bribing, he was extremely unwilling, and when he saw that he had to pay more silver, he immediately scolded: "Senior brother, there are so many dirty things, and when I see a child, I have to ask for so much silver, which has polluted my eyes." ”
When the Taoist priest heard this, he immediately changed his face and scolded: "The shrew who came dared to come to my Feiyun to watch the wilderness, come to people, come people, quickly drive them away." Ning Zhong was about to pull his sword when he heard this, but Yue Buqun hurriedly pulled it back, and without waiting for someone to rush, he walked into the distance.
Away from the Taoist temple, Ning Zhong was still angry, and said: "Senior brother, what kind of apprentice are you receiving? ”
Yue Buqun said: "As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult. At first sight, this Taoist priest knew that he was not a member of the Five Virtues Sect, but a Taoist priest who was originally in the view. Xiaoyun is young, and he is a newcomer, and the disciples who came with him are too honest to suppress these old Taoist priests, so they are naturally the same as before. There are too many dirty things in officialdom, this is just a drop in the ocean, if you join the officialdom, I am afraid you will be angry to death. ”
Ning Zhong asked nonchalantly, "Then what should we do?"
Yue Buqun thought for a while and said, "I heard that the capital is densely clothed with guards, and it is extremely restrictive on martial artists. As long as someone walks on the roof, once discovered, regardless of the reason, they will be killed on the spot. It's not okay to walk at night at night, it's also a big sin, so let's sit by the Taoist temple and wait. Ning Zhong had no choice but to agree.
The two sat under the courtyard wall on the side of the Taoist temple and closed their eyes to recuperate, and there were a lot of people coming and going, pointing and pointing. It doesn't hurt that Yue Buqun has thick skin, but Ning Zhong has a tender face, even if he has a human skin mask, he still can't help but blush. Yue Buqun heard Ning Zhongze's rapid breathing, and instructed her how to breathe calmly and how to mediate the fire in her heart. After a while, Ningzhong calmed down and settled down in the middle of the city.
It wasn't until night fell, the door was half-covered, and the Taoist priest looked back, and the flow of people gradually disappeared, and a team of fifty Taoist priests came from afar. The Taoist priests are all dressed in dark red and black-edged gold silk Taoist clothes, wearing a five-colored jade belt around their waists, wearing three kinds of gold, silver and bronze hair crowns, holding Fuchen in their hands, with a peaceful face, fairy wind and bones, surrounded by a red carriage. When Yue Buqun and the two were still more than ten zhang away, one of them sighed lightly, and soon, there were several exclamations.
A young man's voice came from the carriage, "What's the noise?"
Someone replied, "Zhenren, on the side of the gate, there are two people sitting on the ground, and one of them looks a little like ...... Resemble...... Like the master of the sect, he respects the great real person. ”
The curtain of the carriage was immediately rolled up, revealing the face of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old young Taoist priest, the young man had red lips and white teeth, wore a lilac gold-edged dragon pattern Taoist robe, tied a five-color belt, and wore a white jade Taoist crown, which was very luxurious and beautiful. The boy is Bai Xiaoyun. Bai Xiaoyun looked up, and he also exclaimed, hurriedly called to stop, jumped out of the carriage, and came to three feet in front of Yue Buqun, looking carefully. After a while, he shouted: "Disciple worship ......" and wanted to kneel down to greet him, but he felt a burst of pressure on his face, making Bai Xiaoyun speechless and unable to kneel on the ground.
Bai Xiaoyun was in a hurry, and he didn't know why the master prevented him from visiting. I only heard Yue Buqun say softly: "Speak in the view." Bai Xiaoyun woke up suddenly, the master must have a deep meaning like this, and with a move with his hand, a group of red-clothed Taoist priests surrounded him, and surrounded Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong and entered the view together.
