Chapter 17 Tianqing View
The capital of Southern Qi is still the wealthy and prosperous place in Mu Furong's memory. Tang Xiaodou walked on this dazzling street with this feeling of strangeness and familiarity. He didn't expect to come here, but just thought about passing by here and came over to take a look. Tang Xiaodou is unfamiliar with the Mu family, and she can't give much feelings, but since she has inherited Mu Furong's love, she will take care of Mu Furong's family within her ability.
The Mansion of the General of the Guardian of Rende Street has long been replaced by the upstart in the court. Hu Guojiu's Mansion. If you want to talk about the emperor's brother-in-law, there are so many brother-in-laws. Although not every emperor has three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, ten fingers are definitely not enough. In ancient times, I thought that there were many children and many blessings. Not to mention that the concubines in the harem had brothers, but on average, it was still perfect for one person. Why did Hu Guojiu be so glorious? It was because he had a beautiful girl who was the emperor's favorite concubine. I heard that this woman was named Hu Meier, and she was really as handsome as her name. She was fascinated by the emperor. The court almost became Hu Meier's world. Whatever she said was what she meant, and it made the court officials panic all day long. The common people secretly called him the second Daji.
Tang Xiaodou and Li Zhou were about to find a tea stall to rest for a cup of tea, a little Taoist priest in Taoist suit came to the two and put it in one hand, "Two fellow Taoists, Master Qingyuan, my Tianqing Temple Master, invites you to visit Tianqing Temple." The two followed the little Taoist priest with doubts on a high mountain near the imperial city. Tianqing Temple was located on the top of the mountain. The clouds and mists like gauze and silk made Tianqing Taoist vague as a fairyland. The carriages and horses at the door were flowing, and the crowds of people were endless. The incense was also considered first-class. The little Taoist priest led the two to avoid the crowd and entered the temple through the corner gate on one side. There were pilgrims passing by from time to time along the way, but there were not many dresses of their hats, but it was also common. Some wives and ladies of official families often dressed up like this, but not many people paid attention to it. Although there were many pilgrims, they were all soft and whispering, and the environment was quiet and the artistic conception was long.
The Taoist temple of the temple owner was at the end. The little Taoist priest knocked on the door and the door opened. From the inside, he heard a voice saying, "Two fellow Taoists, please come in." The sound was round and deep. After Tang Xiaodou and Li Zhou entered, the door closed again. An old man with a beard sat cross-legged on a futon, Yuanshi crowned, green skirt, purple brown, purple cape wrapped in green, twenty-four lines, fifteen lines inside. As soon as he saw the clothes, the two immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed.
In the Taoist Sect, Taoist robe is particularly particular and has clear grades. Taoist priests' uniforms are divided into seven grades: first entry into the Taoist Sect, Zhengyi, Morality, Cave God, Dongxuan, Dongzhen, and Three Cave Lecturer. For example, the wear of the Master Qingyuan, the wearing of the Taoist Master, belongs to the level of the Master Dongzhen, while the Taoist priest guides the way is only the first grade.
"The two friends don't need to be polite. Please sit down. I guess I want to hear the reason why the old Taoist invited you to come." Tang Xiaodou and Li Zhou sat on the two cushions in front of Zhenren Qingyuan. "The real person, Li Zhou, I want to ask how the real person knows the two cushions." Li Zhou asked the doubts in his heart, "The old Taoist has never seen the real person before," Tang Xiaodou added. "Two friends, don't be anxious, listen to the old Taoist, come slowly," Zhenren Qingyuan waved his hand and smiled very kindly. Tang Xiaodou felt a little scared when he heard that he was going to say slowly, but he still sat upright on the cushions. As for Li Zhou, he looked at his expression and listened attentively, and he didn't know what he thought in his heart.
"The old Taoist and the little friend's immortal sect have always been in communication. The pure spiritual energy on my little friend is the same as the old Taoist sect. In this regard, the old Taoist can detect it. This time, I asked my little friend to come here for something. The king of the Southern Qi Kingdom favored the traitor and harmed the pillars. I believe the two have heard of it. The evil spirits surged in the sky above the imperial city of the old Taoist Temple. Half a month ago, I sent three disciples from Guanzhong to check it out. But I still have no news. In addition to losing three capable disciples in Guanzhong, he also caused trouble. Now the old Taoist heavenly tribulation is imminent, and he cannot be separated from others. I really want to ask the two friends to take action to subdue demons and eliminate demons in order to seek the right way. If the old Taoist sect, if the old Taoist sect, the heavenly tribulation is imminent, I can't share the other ones. Now I want to ask the two friends to take action to eliminate demons and seek the right way.
If you don't die in the heavenly tribulation, you will repay the kindness of your friend's guard." After saying that, he was going to worship Tang Xiaodou and Li Zhou. Tang Li and Li dared not accept this great gift. One of them helped Qingyuan Zhenren up. The two of them thought about it and agreed. The immortals valued the cause and effect. If they stood by and watched at this time, they would be sad to pass the barrier of their own inner demons in the future. The so-called "sow goodness and goodness" in the Buddhist practice, this is also a kind of practice. It has been said that the two of them fell into the Tianqing Temple and waited for Qingyuan to find an opportunity to send them into the imperial city. Qingyuan Zhenren arranged a residence for them according to his Taoist temple, and called them the two of them outside the world.
As the subject, Zhenren Qingyuan didn't have to take people and treat things, but if he came to the imperial city's distinguished guests, he would have to deal with it. So, the boy led a few young men in fine clothes and clothes to walk towards him. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, they were all very charming. Tang Xiaodou sat on the window and laughed with Li Zhou outside the window, free and casual as a man, and laughed a little like a breeze and bright moon, which made the group of young men's eyes lit up. A young man in green clothes said something to the cold boy in purple clothes in the middle. Suddenly the boy turned his head and looked at Tang Xiaodou, "My eyebrows are like willow leaves, their eyes are like stars, and they have a bright and bright mind in every move, which is better than most daughters in the boudoir in the world."
Tang Xiaodou and Li Zhou were talking and feeling something, so they turned their heads and looked back with their eyes. They saw a man in purple in the group of teenagers looking at her. His eyes were as deep as a cold pond, and his handsome face was cut by a knife and axe. He had a majestic figure and was the most outstanding among the group of teenagers. He was hugged by a group of teenagers and entered the Taoist temple of Qingyuan Zhenren.
During the days when I stayed in Tianqingguan, I could hear the deeds of the demon concubine "Hu Meier" who harmed the concubines and court officials. Zhenren Qingyuan felt that the subjugation of demons had reached an urgent point, and it happened that the birthday ceremony of Concubine Hu was half a month later. For this reason, the emperor made a big construction and specially built a six-meter-wide lotus platform on the lotus pond in the west six places of the harem to make a stage. I heard that a circular corridor was built around the lotus pond, which was used as a seat for guests. Zhenren Qingyuan's method was to let the two pretend to be artists in the martial arts world. Everything was ready, and the Ministry of Rites recruited the opera troupe and announced the juggling skills.
