Chapter 126: Explore the secrets of the past(1/2)
The next day, after noon.
A team of 100,000 people set off towards Mount Tai in a mighty manner.
Mount Tai is located at the junction of Qingzhou and Youyun Sixteenth Prefecture.
Before setting off, Mi Yue, Wang Zhaojun, and Zhao Changle came to see her off in the harem.
Mi Yue also made a sachet for Zhao Changqing and tied it on his body.
Seeing this, Wang Zhaojun held the sachet in her hand tightly, not daring to let others see that she was also holding this thing today.
When she saw His Majesty and Mi Yue kissing each other, she felt a little uncomfortable and lowered her head, not daring to look at them.
Since driving His Majesty away from his palace two days ago, Your Majesty has never seen me again...
Alas, I really knew what I was doing today, why did I have to do it in the first place.
At the moment when Zhao Changqing crossed the horse, Wang Zhaojun finally couldn't restrain his emotions and blurted out: "Your Majesty, it's a long way to Mount Tai. I hope you will take more care of yourself."
Zhao Changqing nodded, taking it as a response to Wang Zhaojun.
And I also felt that there was nothing unusual about this response, but it still made Wang Zhaojun think too much.
Is it that His Majesty is so annoyed with me that he doesn't want to say a word to me?
He didn't sit in the dragon chariot because he occasionally wanted to try the feeling of riding a galloping horse.
After bidding farewell to everyone, he rode away.
A team of 100,000 people accompanied Zhao Chang on a tour of the mountains and rivers. They traveled for three or four days before reaching the foot of Mount Tai.
Jishui is encircling Mount Tai.
At the foot of Mount Tai, there is a royal road that stretches for more than ten miles.
This road is different from the usual official road. It is a flat road made of bluestone bricks specially opened up to facilitate the ancient emperors to worship in Mount Tai to show their orthodoxy and inherit the national destiny.
But this road is not only accessible to emperors.
In the past, most people going up and down the mountain used this royal road for convenience.
The court didn't care at all. After all, no matter how powerful it was, it couldn't be so overbearing.
Now, it is November, and the imperial road has lost its former vitality, as if it were desolate. Probably the people nearby are afraid of the severe cold, and are unwilling to go to Mount Tai to deliver incense and worship the gods.
The moment the emperor arrived at this royal road, it had been cleared in advance, and one hundred thousand soldiers surrounded the road on three levels inside and three outside.
Martial law, no outsiders allowed in or out.
The prefect of Taishan County had already led the Taoist priests in the Taoist palace to wait beside the royal road for a long time, just to welcome the Holy Master.
Zhao Changqing said a few casual words and sent them all away.
It has been surprisingly cold this year, as cold as the falling leaves, as cold as the vast earth, which is full of desolation.
It’s already like this before December, and it’s probably going to be even colder when the new year comes.
Fortunately, Zhao Changqing now has the cultivation level of a land god and is invulnerable to fire and water, and is not afraid of severe cold.
Go straight up through this royal road, and you will see many peaks and mountains spiraling down along the way. The end point is the main peak, Yuhuangding.
The Taoist Palace is located in the Jade Emperor's Peak.
Among the Taoist priests who came to greet him today, one of them is the current head of the Taoist Palace. He is at the peak of the realm of land gods and should be on par with the strength of the crazy swordsman.
His Taoist name is: Xuan Lingzi.
Zhao Changqing handed him over and asked, "Are you all ready for the discussion about Mount Tai's enshrinement?"
Xuan Lingzi, who has an immortal demeanor and has the demeanor of a senior, respectfully replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, everything regarding the ceremony to worship the heaven has been prepared. We will just wait for Your Majesty to choose a date and it will be held."
Zhao Changqing nodded when he heard the sound, stood on the royal road and looked towards the top of Mount Tai. Yao said: "There is no rush. Since we have come to Mount Tai, we naturally have to take a stroll. Come on, follow me up the mountain."
Xuan Lingzi bowed and said, "It's Your Majesty!"
Zhao Changqing only asked 10,000 people to follow him up the mountain.
On the way up the mountain, Zhao Changqing asked: "I heard that the old man Tianjizi is still alive, and he is in the Dao Palace of Wei State, is that true?"
Xuan Lingzi was shocked when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, this..."
During the conversation, a look of embarrassment appears on his face, and he stops talking when he wants to speak.
Zhao Changqing frowned and said, "Why, you are the head of a Taoist palace, so it's inconvenient for you to talk to me about this?"
Actually, how should I put it, Xuan Lingzi, the leader, did it...
It's really embarrassing.
It's okay to manage his peers and juniors. As for the elders who are cultivating in Mount Tai, it's too late for him to be in awe. How can he dare to manage them?
So he said: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. The founder of Tianjizi has been in seclusion many years ago. The old Taoist really dare not disturb his silent cultivation. If anything goes wrong, the old Taoist will die."
Don’t redeem yourself.”
Zhao Changqing sneered and said: "Don't worry, it's me who wants to see him, and this matter has nothing to do with you. Go to the sect and ask the senior Xuanjizi, and tell him that the emperor of the Wei Dynasty has come to visit and ask him if he can see him. If not, what will happen next?
Just let it go."
Xuan Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief. If His Majesty the Emperor insisted on meeting, he would be putting himself in a dilemma.
Fortunately, I just let myself send a message.
This is simple, but it is still a little embarrassing. He said: "Okay... Your Majesty, I will try my best to convey your Majesty's meaning to senior Tianjizi."
Zhao Changqing nodded.
Tianjizi is a master in the realm of heaven and man. In front of such a master, I am afraid that his own trump cards, the strange fire and the human emperor sword, are difficult to block. Therefore, facing this kind of immortal human spirit, he still retains some awe.
It's good, but you can't act recklessly.
If the other party doesn't want to see me, then forget it. After the Feng Chan is over and inherits the destiny of the country, you can ask again. Then you can have a tougher attitude. After all, Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain during his three visits to the thatched cottage. Why did I come to see you twice?
Don't want to see them?
What do you mean?
Don’t give me face?
Well, the main reason is that after inheriting the national destiny, you will have the means to protect yourself.
Mount Tai has a myriad of weather conditions, the clouds in the sky are red and purple, the vast mist is like ink rendering, the sky is full of precious rays of light, and the faint wisps of purple air are shining brightly, outlining a fairyland on earth.
Everyone hiked straight up to the Jade Emperor Peak, the main peak of Mount Tai.
The Jade Emperor's Peak is filled with clouds and mist, and there seems to be white clouds spreading out for thousands of miles on the top, like a huge jade plate suspended between the sky and the earth, filling the top of the roof with a vast expanse of white.
And among the rising white clouds and the shrouded mist, there is an archway made entirely of Taishan stones that is looming in the spotlight. However, on the archway, there are two big red characters written on it, "Nantianmen"!
Zhao Changqing was in the clouds and mist, and the cool air coming from it made him feel comfortable all over. Then he walked straight to Nantianmen, followed by everyone.
After passing the Nantianmen, another different scene appeared in their eyes.
It seemed to be a fairy palace, a fairy palace that was as gorgeous and glorious as the residence of the emperor.
The pavilions, terraces, and pavilions that follow the rolling hills are scattered in an orderly manner. You can vaguely see through the fog that half-covers your eyes, and you can see the yellow glazed tiles on the top of the gorgeous palace. Under them, there are two large gilded characters that are heart-catching.
'Tao Palace'!
Zhao Changqing unconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to see clearly the extremely gorgeous palace courtyard. Xuan Lingzi, standing beside him, explained to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, the layout of our Jade Palace is truly unique. Let me explain it to you in detail.
The layout of this palace seems to be placed randomly, but in fact there is a universe within it. As the saying goes, when choosing a place to find a dragon, you must look at the water potential. You can see an artificial pool and lake starting from the west end, circling along a straight line next to the pavilion and water pavilion before stopping...
There are mountains and no water, but there is no place to rest. Mount Tai and Jishui are accompanied. Using this artificial lake as a guide, the surging rivers are led out, forming a continuous trend. This is called the convergence of mountains and rivers, and there will be scenery. This is also commonly known as the phenomenon of wind and water rising and spreading in the sky.
.
The plaque of the Taoist Palace faces south, which means it is erected for the sun, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The artificial lake from the west end to the east end means that the purple air comes from the east and surrounds the dragon's lair, which is really big.
Moreover, this palace belongs to a branch of Taoism, and has its own layout among the mountains and rivers. The location we are now at is called Nantianmen. What is after passing Nantianmen? It is the Heavenly Court! It coincides with the heavenly time;
There is also a protruding hill in the east, called Zilai Qiu, which is the place where the artificial lake attracts the purple energy to hide its light and keep a low profile. The mountains and rivers meet each other, which is a good location.
And every year, countless people come and go to the Shangdao Palace to offer sacrifices and worship gods. This can be called harmony.
In recent years, our Taoist palace has relied on this unique Feng Shui pattern to become the leader of the Taoist sect today."
Zhao Changqing nodded. He was not interested in these things, but it didn't hurt to listen more.
After getting tired of hearing it, Zhao Changqing said to him: "Go and ask Senior Tianjizi, I have plenty of time to appreciate the scenery in the Taoist Palace."
Xuan Lingzi was stunned. He originally thought that talking to His Majesty would make him forget about it, but it seemed that he wanted to keep it simple.
So I went to the Tianjizi retreat alone to disturb the old senior.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he heard the voice of senior Tianjizi, "I already know why you are here. Please invite the Emperor of Wei here."
Xuan Lingzi nodded.
The old man's Taoist name is Tianjizi, but he is a person who can understand Tianjizi. It is not surprising that he knows the purpose of coming here.
Xuan Lingzi informed Zhao Changqing of the news here. To show respect, he decided to go in with Xuan Lingzi himself.
