Chapter 477: Thunder Strikes in the Sky
In August, the osmanthus begins to fragrance, and the autumn test period is approaching day by day.
According to the usual practice, before the start of the exam, you must ask the immortal master to open the altar to cast spells, worship the gods and pray for blessings and disasters to suppress the evil spirits, early this morning, the county magistrate of Woniu Town and the official school of the school Zhen Yin came to Chongxuanguan to invite Tian Chuyi.
Although this set of ritual pomp and circumstance is just to ask for good luck, there may not really be any evil demons to be exorcized, but in the small county town of Woniu Town, it can be regarded as a high-grade event after all. Moreover, the immortal master will sprinkle a lot of runic water to eliminate disasters and solve problems, so the audience is extremely crowded, and almost the whole city is out to participate. In the middle of the night, some people dragged their families to wait outside the gate of the official school, in order to occupy a good position close to the immortal master.
Of course, this only refers to ordinary people, as for the rich and noble families with a little money and power, they will naturally not be so self-deprecating, and they will secretly donate a lot of money through various relationships early to get a place for their own family.
It is precisely because of the existence of this factor that it is logical that the ranking of seats in the legal affairs is equivalent to the ranking of the social status of the major households in Woniu Town.
Di's mother, who has always been mild-tempered, started a tantrum at home, and scolded Di Zizhong to the blood, in previous years, Di's mother did not miss every time the official school held the ceremony, and this year, Chen Haoran was a member of the autumn examination, Di Zizhong actually forgot to book the seat of the Di family, which caused Di's mother to be furious.
In fact, Di Zizhong didn't completely forget about this matter, a large part of it was because he felt sorry for the silver, anyway, the Di family couldn't rank up as a big family in Woniu Town anyway, and they didn't even have a chance to be in the limelight, so they could afford to make this unjust money? Today's Di family is not popular, and Di Zizhong is even more notorious, and he really doesn't want to poke people in the backbone in the public court.
Although Di's mother scolded fiercely, Di Zizhong was no longer as awe-inspiring as before, but countered in a weird way: "Mother used to pray for her little brother, when did she take me to heart again? Even if my mother wants to go, it's not my business alone, and the cost should be shared by everyone, so why do you insist on falling on me? The younger brother is in the official school at this time, you just go to him to settle it for you. ”
Mother Di was angry and reprimanded: "You, you rebel, your little brother doesn't care about you, and gives you most of the family business, you have the face to say such things." Are you still a human being?"
Di Zizhong flatly denied it: "This is not right, the property accounts of my family with my younger brother are clear, all the properties are one and a half, when did I fight for him for the light of a copper coin?"
Di Mu was furious, picked up the teacup on the table and was about to throw this unscrupulous son, Di Zizhong saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly slipped out.
Sitting alone in the room and weeping for a long time, Di's mother cleaned up her sorrow. went out and ordered his subordinates to put on the carriage, take the Yahuan and prepare to go to the official school. Just waiting to go. He Chaolan, who heard the news, rushed over, saying that it was her duty to serve her mother-in-law, and took the initiative to accompany her to pray for blessings, which comforted Di's mother a little more.
He Chaolan was actually idle at home, and even Di Zizhong and Xinna's concubine Liu were in front of her every day, and she was helpless and bitter in her heart. I just want to avoid the picture, out of sight, out of mind. also faintly wanted to worship the gods devoutly, so that Di Zizhong could change his mind, and the two renew their old love.
The crowd was crowded along the way, and it was so lively that it seemed that the whole city was rushing to the official school, and the short journey took most of the hour. When they arrived, the ritual was about to begin, and the county government sent a large number of officials to maintain order outside the official school, and successively let some people in. As for those who spent a lot of money, they had already sat under the pergola set up in the courtyard to enjoy tea and snacks, and leisurely waited for the ceremony to begin.
Di Mu did not reserve a seat in advance, and only a few people in the front were allowed to enter for free, and according to the rules, they could no longer enter, and were stopped outside by the officials. Fortunately, Di's mother still understands the sophistication of human affairs thoroughly, and asked the subordinate who came with her to secretly hand over a silver ingot to the official messenger of the team leader, and took He Chaolan and the accompanying maid to step into the door of official learning.
The altar of the high platform to pray for blessings and disasters is set up in the center of the courtyard of the official school, and there are dozens of bamboo and wood sheds built around it.
It is extremely rare to gather so many leading figures, and it is inevitable, and this kind of occasion has become a good time for the rich people of the Shi clan to show off their strength and win glory.
As a grand event, it is natural to have the appearance of a grand event, and it must not be sloppy, so before and after the immortal master's spell casting ceremony, there are opera troupes singing opera for everyone's entertainment.
When Di's mother was admitted to the hospital, the short scene of exorcism in front of the scene was just opening, and after a few gongs sounded in the "bell", several actors dressed as evil demons and monsters jumped onto the high platform with somersaults and began to perform.
After all, she was a little older, and after standing in the crowd and watching the play for a while, Di's mother felt that her legs and feet were sore and her body was a little unwell, thinking that she should not be tired, and she had to find a seat to rest, so she looked around at those pergolas, hoping to find a familiar person to build a seat.
Coincidentally, Zuo is familiar with the family of Sun Yuanwai, during the New Year's Festival, Sun Yuanwai not only let the housekeeper go to Di's house to visit Di's mother, and later Mrs. Sun also came to greet each other, the two are commensurate with old sisters, and their relationship with each other is quite close.
Di Mu was about to tell the maid ring beside her to inform her first, but Mrs. Sun looked at this side, and when she saw Di Mu, her expression was slightly stunned, and she immediately turned her head, as if she didn't see Di Mu at all.
The smile on Di's mother's face froze immediately, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, she sighed halfway, turned her head to look under the pergola on the right, and found a wealthy family surnamed Li who lived on the same street as the Di family and had a close relationship with her in the past, so she sent Yahuan over to say hello.
Yahuan quickly turned around and said, "Master Li said that the old lady is willing to condescend to each other, and he can't ask for it, but there are too few places and too many families." I was afraid that the old lady would not be able to afford it, so I didn't dare to invite the old lady to take a seat. ”
Di Mu was speechless, and her interest and thoughts when she came were all cold. Seeing her mother-in-law's ugly face, He Chaolan recalled the scenery in the past and the desolation now, empathizing with her, and feeling full of bad feelings. Letting go of the past, he explained: "Mom, the world is originally to avoid the cold and inflammation, because of the matter between my uncle and the Pang family and the Assassin family, it is normal for others to avoid us, and it is okay not to fall into the well, you don't need to go too far into your heart." ”
Di Mu nodded, sighed again, and said no more.

On the high stage, after a fierce fight between the demons and the immortals, the foreplay was finally over. A crisp sound sounded, and seven or eight Taoist priests held all kinds of sacrificial supplies, and surrounded Tian Chuyi, who had a solemn expression, came out of the main hall of the official school, and the county magistrate of Woniu Town and Zhen Yin, the scholar and the politician, followed closely behind. It is all the students who participated in this autumn's scientific expedition in Woniu Town.
Di Mu squinted, and suddenly swept away her sorrow. He smiled and said: "Chaolan, look, Xiao Shi is walking in front of all the talents, this is a great honor, if the master can see him so beautiful, I don't know what he will be happy to be." ”
It is generally recognized that only students who are outstanding in their studies can be the leaders of the exams. is indeed infinitely beautiful, He Chaolan said with a smile: "Yes, my uncle's talent is naturally not said, seven steps into poetry, fame is only afraid that even the princes and nobles in the capital have heard of it...... but I am worried in my heart. The Di family has a grudge against the son-in-law of Lord Assassin Shi for the marriage contract of the Pang family, and this little uncle is only afraid that it will be in vain no matter how well he learns. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt someone close behind him, and he touched his buttocks and rubbed them unscrupulously, and he couldn't help but change color in shock, and hurriedly tried his best to avoid it.
He Chaolan turned her head to look, but saw a pockmarked man in his twenties dressed in brocade clothes standing behind him, his face was confused, he knew that he must have been insulted and violated by him, he was ashamed and angry in his heart, but he couldn't make a sound, and he endured the shame and panicked and approached Di's mother.
Di Mu noticed that something was wrong, and when she looked at it, she saw that one of the numb-faced man's hands had just been withdrawn from behind He Chaolan, how could she not understand what was going on? She was so angry that she trembled all over, but she also cared about her own reputation like He Chaolan, how could she resort to it? He left in a hurry, but the crowd was too crowded, and he couldn't do it for a while.
The pock-faced man was so bold that he came up again, and laughed in a low voice: "I didn't expect that there are such beautiful women in the city, I don't know which little lady it is?" While making a teasing speech, he touched He Chaolan's waist again.
He Chaolan couldn't avoid it, the weather was still hot in August, her clothes were light, she only felt that one hand was straight up her waist, and she couldn't help screaming under humiliation and panic. The pock-faced man didn't expect her to scream in public, and immediately withdrew his hand in fright.
Although there were many people, they were all watching the immortal master ascend the altar at this time, the huge official courtyard was very quiet, He Chaolan's sudden exclamation was extremely harsh, and everyone's eyes looked at this side.
Everyone watched, and after making this exclamation, He Chaolan's face suddenly turned pale. Di Mu's eyes suddenly darkened, and she complained bitterly in her heart, secretly resenting He Chaolan. In this era, women starve to death are small, and the loss of festival is big, and it is okay for He Chaolan not to be known by others after being molested, but when this situation is in place, it cannot be covered up no matter what, not only will it be difficult for He Chaolan to look up and see people in the future, but even the Di family may be discredited.
The pock-faced man was startled, then quickly calmed down, and walked casually to a pergola in front of the altar, as if nothing had happened just now, and had nothing to do with it.
"Whore, stop me. ”
He Chaolan screamed bitterly.
The pock-faced man's expression changed, and he pretended to be angry and said: "This lady, I don't know you before, I have no grudges, why do you insult and slander me like this?"
He Chaolan's face turned pale, she was humiliated just now and couldn't hide it from the eyes of the people present, after this pock-faced man confessed, she was a victim, and she could barely keep her innocent reputation, but the pock-faced man bit back, which was tantamount to forcing her to a dead end. Rushed out of the crowd and ran to Tian Chuyi, "pounced" and knelt down to the ground, crying bitterly: "The folk woman came to worship the immortal master today to cast a spell on the disaster, but she was not afraid of being bullied by the thief, and begged the immortal master to avenge the grievances of the female and severely punish the shameless adulterer." ”
Tian Chuyi frowned, looked back at the county order behind him unhappily and said, "Lord Lin, there are such despicable villains in the solemn place who have done such illegal acts. It is really annoying and hateful to make my Taoist name dusty. It's just that this is a matter within Lord Lin's governance, and it is inconvenient for the poor road to intervene, so you can handle it. ”
The Ling of Nalin County looked quite strange, and said, "Immortal Master." The county's governance is not strict and the placement is not thorough, resulting in such an immoral thing, the county is terrified, please forgive the immortal master. It's just that the truth of the passage still needs to be investigated and collected, and it can't be hastily convicted just based on the words of this people's girl, and it is appropriate to wait for the county to interrogate first, what does the immortal master think?"
He Chaolan's humiliation was obvious, otherwise how could he risk the consequences of being ruined and suing in public? Tian Chuyi frowned again. Glanced at the Lin County Order in surprise, and said in a deep voice: "The auspicious time is coming, please Lord Lin deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to delay the Fa affairs." ”
Although Lin Xianling had dealings with Di Zizhong, he didn't know He Chaolan, so he stepped forward and said solemnly: "Do you have any evidence for accusing others of misdeeds against you?" He didn't even ask the surnames of her and the numb-faced man who was accused, and he had the intention of making a quick decision.
He Chaolan was stunned for a moment, and said with tears in her eyes: "There is no evidence for the people's women. But the mother-in-law can testify. ”
Lin County's order made a blank face and said in a deep voice: "You have no real evidence. How can the county be judged? Quickly retreat, Hugh has to disturb the law, and if there is any objection, go to the county government office to file a lawsuit in the future. ”
The pock-faced man seemed to have known Lin Xianling's attitude for a long time, and there was a hint of imperceptible pride in his eyes.
He Chaolan didn't expect the county magistrate to deal with it like this, and exclaimed: "My lord." If you don't arrest this adulterer, where will the women look for him in the future? Isn't it hasty and foolish for your lord to judge the case like this?"
Lin Xian Ling immediately took advantage of the topic, and reprimanded with a heavy face: "Bold, how can you be assigned by this county? Most of them are not innocent women from good families, maybe they have other intentions to slander others, deliberately provoke and make noise here, and if they don't retreat, don't blame the county for your serious crimes. ”
He Chaolan was so frightened that her whole body trembled like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she suddenly realized something, and screamed bitterly: "You, you dog official, what is your relationship with that lewd thief, why are you so partial to him and want to put me to death as a weak woman?"
Lin Xianling's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Presumptuous, presumptuous, Diao women dare to be so presumptuous, roaring and slandering this county." Someone, drag this shameless woman down. ”
The two errand officers on one side responded and wanted to forcibly take He Chaolan away, but Di Mu on the side was already at a loss and didn't know what to do. The pock-faced man's smug expression was even stronger, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile.
Although many gentry knew He Chaolan, more people knew the identity of the pock-faced man, and none of them made a loud noise.
"Fuck your grandma's bastard. ”
Chen Haoran was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, he jumped out with a roar, pointed at Lin County's nose and shouted: "How can this be reasonable, how did you become a fucking dog official?
Lin County's order changed, and he looked at Chen Haoran clearly, annoyed and angry, and said sharply: "You are a little talent, you dare to insult this county, you are really rampant, this county will definitely be folded and played, and your fame will never be allowed to enter the office." ”
Chen Haoran was born from the side of his guts, raised his hand and slapped this guy hard, and immediately hit him straight and fell to the ground, five or six teeth flew out of his mouth, and blood was rushing.
Everyone was stunned.
Lin Xian Ling lay on the ground and screamed bitterly, and screamed desperately indistinctly: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, quickly take down this thief who dares to attack the imperial court officials." ”
The errands who were scattered around to maintain order came back to their senses, drew their knives and waved their chains, and rushed up to arrest Chen Haoran, when they suddenly heard a deafening shout: "Stop." ”
All the servants were stunned for a moment, and looked fixedly, but when they saw that it was the immortal master who was solemnly drinking, they couldn't help but stop moving, and their hearts were confused.
Tian Chuyi was also shocked in his heart, and came up and whispered: "Di Gongzi, why is this?"
Chen Haoran was furious, and said angrily: "I actually bullied my Di family, Lao Tzu is going to skin these dogs today." He grabbed the pockmarked man, swept back and slammed him on the ground, stepped on his chest and shouted, "Say, what is your relationship with this dog official?"
Tian Zhiyi keenly felt that Chen Haoran had an obvious murderous intent, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
At this time, in the colorful Protector Yuan Essence in Chen Haoran's body, a trace of extremely imperceptible strange light faintly appeared, and the color was uncertain, slowly swirling around the golden pill. When Chen Haoran killed someone by mistake in Shangjing. The demons first appeared and the mood was lost, but the symptoms were quite mild that time, but this time it was not. At this time, the inner demons bred by fellow Dao Buddha practitioners had already turned into a real calamity, condensed into demonic qi to erode and transform into a natal golden pill, otherwise even if Chen Haoran was impulsive and reckless, at most he would only punish the other party. I will never be killed by this incident.
Although the demons of the mind are invisible and invisible, their function is to cause the practitioner to act against his or her nature, and after all, he can feel something, and the practitioner can stick to the state of mind in time and suppress it with the help of profound cultivation. And the danger and power of this demonic qi lies in the fact that it is impossible to detect and identify, and it is mixed with the Protector Yuan Essence and gradually grows unknowingly. After the demonic climate is strong to a certain point, even if the recipient has a strength comparable to that of the Heavenly Realm Immortal Buddha, he will no longer be able to return to the sky, and can only watch his mind run out. An irreversible fall into the path of demons can be called the most terrible calamity for a practitioner.
Chen Haoran didn't know that the demon had entered his body, and he didn't realize that his behavior was too abnormal, so he shouted: "Say it quickly, or Lao Tzu will unload your dog's head with a knife." With a casual move, a nearby errand officer felt a sharp shock in his wrist, and the steel knife in his hand had flown into Chen Haoran's palm, reaching the throat of the numb-faced man. The tip of the knife entered the flesh, and a drop of blood immediately oozed out.
The pock-faced man was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body. exclaimed: "Don't kill me, I said, I said, my sister is, it is the county lady." ”
Lin Xian Ling struggled to get up and shouted urgently: "Immortal Master." This guy knows how to do witchcraft, there is no doubt that he is a demon, and the immortal master can protect our safety, so hurry up and get rid of the demon. ”
Tian Chuyi frowned and said: "Lord Lin is cautious, Di Gongzi is good friends with the elders of the poor Taoist sect. It is a real person, and Lord Lin must not be suspicious. ”
Di Xiaoshi could actually be a cultivator? Lin Xianling was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had a close relationship with the former abbot of Chongxuanguan, Mu Chuji, but he had never had any contact with him after Tian Chuyi came, which made him think that Chen Haoran was clinging to Mou Chuji, but he didn't want to be like this. Immediately broke out in a cold sweat, frightened and frightened in his heart, knowing that he had no eyes, and most of the slaps were in vain. But I just don't understand, how could I deal with an ordinary woman for my wife and brother, how could I cause Di Xiaoshi to be angry?
The second young master of the Di family could actually be a cultivator with the same magical powers as an immortal master? A large swarm of wasps flew in the courtyard of the official school, and everyone whispered to each other, looking at Chen Haoran's eyes full of awe. Sun Yuanwai and the rich family surnamed Li, who had previously refused to sit in Di's mother, turned pale as dirt, and felt remorseful, but hated that they couldn't conjure up an eight-lift bridge, and invited Di's mother to take a seat respectfully.
Xuezheng Zhen Yin was even more frightened than them, just thinking, Lord Assassin Shi's father and son told him to oppose Chen Haoran, why didn't he confess that the other party was a cultivator? How could he afford to provoke a cultivator as a small official who was not of the highest level, didn't he let himself die? This, how could this be good......
Chen Haoran relieved the doubts of the puzzled Lin County Order in a timely manner: "Grandma, even if Lao Tzu doesn't recognize Di Zizhong's brother, he is still surnamed Di, and his wife is still a member of the Di family, not just let people tease and bully." ”
The woman his wife and brother molested was the eldest young lady of the Di family, this Chen Haoran's sister-in-law? Lin Xianling's head buzzed, fortunately, he was still a little anxious, and he argued in a panic: "Di Gongzi must have misunderstood, my brother-in-law is familiar with the words of the sages, how could he deliberately flirt with Ling's sister-in-law? It must be caused by the crowding and accidentally bumping into Ling's sister-in-law." ”
Chen Haoran glared and said angrily: "You, the dog official, harbored the prostitute and persecuted Lao Tzu's Di family, Lao Tzu didn't settle accounts with you, do you dare to quibble?"
Lin Xianling was sweating profusely, and he was afraid that Chen Haoran would kill his wife and brother with a knife, so he insisted that "as a county parent official, how can I argue with me, let alone persecute Ling's sister-in-law with favoritism...... Di Gongzi, my brother-in-law offended Ling's sister-in-law unintentionally, it was indeed a misunderstanding, please forgive Di Gongzi, I would like to ask my brother-in-law to kowtow to Ling's sister-in-law to make amends. ”
Chen Haoran scoffed, just as he was farting, and was about to slaughter the pock-faced man at his feet, a thought suddenly turned in his mind, and he lowered his head and asked, "Is what your brother-in-law said true?"
The pock-faced man was not a fool, and nodded desperately: "Yes, yes, the villain is definitely not ...... on purpose"
Chen Haoran moved his leg and said, "Okay, you go and kowtow ten heads first." ”
The pock-faced man turned over and knelt in front of He Chaolan, "Dong Dong Dong" knocked his head for fourteen or fifteen times in a row, and the skin and flesh on his forehead opened before stopping, and he begged for mercy in panic: "The eldest and youngest grandmother of the Di family, the villain is not intentionally offended, please let the eldest and young grandmother let the villain go in large quantities." The villain has no complaints, and is willing to offer a thousand taels of silver to suppress the shock of the young grandmother. ”
The sudden turn for the worse made He Chaolan feel like she was in a dream, she was stunned as if she was stupid, and she said after a long time: "Don't ask me, everything is in charge of my uncle......" Before she finished speaking, two strings of tears were already rolling down her face.
Lin County Ling hurriedly said: "It is most appropriate for this matter to be settled like this. Di Gongzi. The auspicious time for the Dharma has arrived, so we must not delay, and I will bring my brother-in-law to apologize later, how about it?"
Chen Haoran squinted at him: "You said it's over?"
One of your light clicks warmed my whole codeword life. Log in to yy. to support genuine literature
Seeing that his eyes were not good, Lin Xian Ling didn't dare to say more, turned his face to look at Tian Chuyi, and pleaded: "Immortal Master......"
Tian Zhiyi naturally understood that he was asking for help on his own. Although he was extremely reluctant to meddle in things, so as not to cause Chen Haoran to be angry and strange if he mishandled it, he was the only one who had the weight to speak in a round at the moment, so he had to cough and reluctantly said: "Di Gongzi, in the opinion of the poor road...... " suddenly looked at Di Mu, and immediately changed his words: "Di Gongzi, that should be Lord Ling Gaotang, right? Old Madam Di is here." It is up to her to decide today's affairs. ”
Lin Xianling secretly hated in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Yes." Yes, it should be ...... by Mrs. Di."
Chen Haoran suddenly interrupted him with a sneer: "Do you think that my mother and her old man have soft ears, and you can beg her to let me let you go if you go and say a few good words?" Don't make any decisions, today's matter is up to me...... Lord County Commander, you said that your brother didn't deliberately flirt, and you didn't bend the law for personal gain. Isn't that right?"
Lin Xian Ling said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, how dare I lie? ”
Chen Haoran said with a smile: "I always don't believe in this kind of empty vernacular. In this way, there are gods three feet above the head, and today is the day to worship the gods. The altar is also ready-made, and if you dare to go up and swear to the sky, I will listen to you and not pursue this matter, how about it?"
There are too many words of daily gambling and vows, who has ever seen a god surrender his guilt? Lin Xian Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a righteous face: "Okay, you should be as Di Gongzi wishes." ”
Seeing Lin Xian Ling and the pock-faced man supporting him to climb onto the altar, Chen Haoran smiled on his face, and secretly took out a magic weapon from the Ruyi Ring and quietly ascended into the air.
Tian Zhiyi noticed his actions, and said slightly: "Di Gongzi, you are ......"
Chen Haoran glanced at him and grinned, "Abbot Tian, what's wrong?"
Tian Chuyi's mind quickly turned, and finally shook his head wisely and said: "It's nothing, the gods can't be bullied, I just hope that Lord Lin's heart is the same, immeasurable Tianzun." "It's just a county order, what does it matter if you are dead or alive?
“...... The gods of the heavens are above, and if we have the slightest untruth, we will be punished by the gods. ”
The two of them raised their hands on the altar, and soon finished their vows, and just as they were staying, in the clear and clear sky, a loud bang sounded in the clear sky, and a thunderbolt struck down rapidly, and it was hitting the head of the numb-faced man, and the lightning flashed rapidly, and it was about to split into a mass of human-shaped coke.
Lin Xianling's eyes widened in disbelief and shouted in despair: "Immortal Master save me......"
Another thunderbolt fell from the sky, coldly slashing, and the wild screams came to an abrupt end in the dazzling lightning.
This scene made everyone feel as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt and were stunned into clay wood sculptures.
Tian Yishu looked at the head of the house, and then recited: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the gods really cannot be bullied. ”
After a long time, Zhen Yin, who was pale, stiffly moved his body slightly, and suddenly found that his crotch was already cold and drenched......
Although the official position of the order of a county is small, it is also a dignified court official in Dachu, but he was thundered by the sky in broad daylight, which is too appalling, and the letter was rushed to pass the book, and two days later, the news reached the heavens and was presented to the dragon case of Emperor Xuanwei, which caused an uproar in the government and the opposition. This incident was even more sensational than the last time when the two worshippers in the Second Prince's Mansion were ousted, and Chen Haoran's name spread quickly among the princes and ministers in Shangjing.
During the day, the guards did not look so strict in the Great Chu Palace, and outside the imperial study, several important ministers of Great Chu were sitting in danger, waiting for the Holy Lord to summon them.
In the simple and heavy three-legged copper tripod in a corner of the imperial study, a wisp of light smoke rises, and the unique refreshing fragrance of the pure incense floats in the whole room. Bedridden for most of the year, Emperor Xuanwei, who had not been to the court for a long time, looked quite good today, reclining in a wide chair stuffed with soft cushions, squinting and reviewing a few folds.
"The left national division has arrived, and the right national division has arrived. ”
In the eunuch's sharp and thin roll call, two high-crowned and wide-robed Taoist priests with strange appearances held whisks in their hands, and walked in slowly one after the other, both with a warm smile on their faces, and their demeanor was graceful but concealed in their majesty, which was heartbreaking, and they each said: "Poor Dao has seen Your Majesty." ”
"Two national teachers, please take a seat. ”
Emperor Xuanwei sat up and gave in with his hands, and said: "The widow is unwell and has not been able to greet him in person, so please forgive the two national teachers." ”
The two Taoist priests did not dare to say anything, and took their seats safely.
Emperor Xuanwei said: "The widow invited the two national teachers to come today, and the matter discussed must have been known to the two national teachers, that is, the matter of the county order of Woniu Town suffering the punishment of heaven, and the widow wants to hear what the two national teachers think about it." His gaze stayed on the left Zhuyi Taoist priest.
This Zhuyi Taoist priest is the Great Chu Zuo National Teacher, the first disciple of the Dongxuan Sect, Bi Guangchen. The incident happened in Woniu Town, which was within the influence of the Dongxuan Sect, and Tian Chuyi, the abbot of the Chongxuan Temple, was at the scene at the time, and he would report it to Bi Guangchen in detail, and it was Emperor Xuanwei who first consulted his opinion.
Bi Guangchen bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you can't deceive the world with your intentions, and you should be afraid of ghosts and gods when you think about it, the county makes his heart insincere and his actions are hateful, and the thunder is to blame, Your Majesty's dragon body has just improved, and there is no need to spend energy on such trivial matters." ”
Emperor Xuanwei sighed, looked at another Taoist priest and said, "What does the right national teacher think?"
Right National Master Wei Huiyan smiled and said: "Heaven and earth can be seen by gods and ghosts, and those who hurt themselves are condemned by fate. However, if someone uses the name of Zhaozhao Tianli to secretly win and win a selfish thing, it must not be ignored, otherwise this habit will be ineffective, especially difficult to eliminate, and it is definitely not the blessing of the world. ”
He paused, looked at Bi Guangchen meaningfully, and said, "Brother Dao, do you think so?"
Bi Guangchen's expression did not move at all, and he said with a smile: "What Brother Dao said is extremely true, the poor Dao has been taught. I just don't know, the private person who Brother Dao is referring to to is the real person Chen Haoran?"
Wei Huiyan's eyes flashed slightly, and he still smiled: "Brother Dao's words are wrong, Poor Dao and Nadi Zhenren have never been masked, how can they arbitrarily judge their intentions and deeds? ”
Bi Guangchen said: "A few days ago, my nephew passed a book to Poor Dao in Woniu Town, and did not mention anything unusual about this matter. ”
Wei Huiyan raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Dao is serious, the Chongxuanguan of Woniu Town is presided over by a member of your sect, how can the poor Dao dare to take the lead? Well, I heard that Chen Haoran really learned from a certain earth immortal, and made a marriage contract with the daughter of Lord Murong Jing, the secretary of the central government, but your nephew felt that there were some obstacles, so he made a big difference?"
The corners of Bi Guangchen's eyebrows also jumped, and he smiled: "Brother Dao is really careful, these poor Dao have not taken it into account.
