Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu are both people who have seen big scenes and have seen all the wonders in this world.
But the palace in front of us is still amazing after all. Probably only the craftsmen in the sky can create such a magnificent wonder.
As they got closer and closer, an ancient and majestic momentum followed.
Lin Mengya looked at the carvings on the beams, which were almost too blurry to see the details, and was slightly lost in thought.
"What's wrong?"
Long Tianyu saw her footsteps stopped and couldn't help but ask.
Lin Mengya didn't know why her feelings were so complicated.
Probably because he was amazed at the wisdom of previous man-made creations.
"nothing."
The two of them followed the man into the palace.
From the outside, they could only see the grandeur. Once inside, they realized what the man just said meant.
Various verandahs divide the palace into countless courtyards.
People kept walking around in a hurry, and when they saw the two of them, they didn't even look at them twice.
Is this the real inner temple?
"You two, please come with me."
The person in front who was responsible for guiding the way handed them over to another person and then withdrew.
After the man saluted them, he also explained.
"Palace Master, madam, the rules in the inner palace are strict. There will be a little man to guide you two along the way."
After walking through a few more corridors, they changed guides again.
She looked back and saw the man returning the same way.
It seems that the hierarchy here is strict.
Even those who serve in the inner temple must strictly abide by the system and are not allowed to act without authorization.
Fortunately this time, they don't have to replace anyone.
The man led them directly to a courtyard, saluted the two of them and said, "The elders are inside, please come in."
After saying that, the man left.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were already a little tired from walking, but they still cheered up and went inside.
"Master, madam, you have had a hard journey. The elders have been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."
An attendant wearing lavender clothes came to greet him and wanted to take Long Tianyu's wheelchair, but Lin Mengya refused.
They didn't know the purpose of coming to the inner temple this time. They had to be cautious in this unfamiliar place.
The other party didn't say anything and sent the two of them directly to the main hall of the courtyard.
This should be a meeting place. As soon as the people inside heard the movement outside, they couldn't wait to ask, "But the temple master and his wife have arrived?"
The attendant immediately replied, "Yes, Elder Dong."
"Well, please come in."
Lin Mengya and Long Tian Yudu was a bit opaque about the other party's intentions.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw four groups of people sitting next to a hexagonal table.
The four people next to the table were clearly wearing blue, red, yellow, and black clothes.
After seeing the two of them, the man in blue and yellow clothes immediately stood up and said politely, "Dong Chengfeng, the old dean of the East Dean, has met the master of the palace, Madam."
The short, fat elder in yellow clothes is actually quite kind.
"Song Jiuci, the elder of the West Dean, has met the master of the hall, Madam."
This person is also named Song.
The two immediately thought of Elder Song Yingkui Song, who had secretly reached a cooperative relationship with them.
The elder of the west school principal looked at the two of them, and then whispered: "Song Yingkui is a junior in my family."
This sentence made Lin Mengya understand immediately.
It turns out that the person secretly supporting Song Yingkui is the elder Song Jiuci in front of him.
He nodded reservedly towards the two of them, without showing any unnecessary emotions.
The remaining two did not stand up, but glanced at them with cold eyes.
"East Courtyard, West Courtyard, what do you mean by bringing them here?"
The elder in red clothes showed a bit of dissatisfaction.
The kind-hearted elder of the west courtyard said with a smile, "In the south courtyard, this Liufang Palace was originally meant for people from the six directions to come and discuss matters. Now that the great elder is not here, we can't compete with each other, so naturally we need the palace master and his wife.
support."
Liufangdian is exactly the name on the plaque hanging outside.
Lin Mengya thought to herself, as expected, they have a bargaining chip for the elders to fight for power.
Fortunately, Song Yingkui sent them the news in advance, otherwise, they would really be caught off guard this time.
Thinking of this, the two of them did not panic, but quietly watched their infighting.
"Hmph! The temple is the temple, and the inner temple is the inner temple. They haven't dealt with their own affairs yet, so what qualifications do they have to care about our inner temple?"
The red-coated Nan dean elder is very arrogant.
It can be seen from his words and deeds that the other party does not take Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu seriously at all.
"You can't say that." The elder of the west dean continued to persuade him with kind words.
"Before entering the inner temple, we all came out of the temple. The temple and the inner temple are one. This is a fact that no one can deny."
But the elder of Nanyuan was still stubborn and disdainful.
"Even so, matters in the inner temple are not under their jurisdiction.
You can go back and forth wherever you come from, you are not welcome here!"
The words of the Nanyuan elder really left them no face at all.
Lin Mengya smiled and asked, "Who asked us to come here first?"
The elder of the East Dean looked a little ugly, but he still said, "It's me."
"Okay, then I'll tell you." She looked at the elder of the East Dean and spoke clearly, word for word.
"Excuse me, did you tell the remaining three people before inviting us over?" ??
The elder of the East Dean nodded, but he was also angry.
The south courtyard is unauthentic.
When he brought it up, the other party remained silent, so he naturally assumed that the other party acquiesced.
Who would have thought that someone from the South Campus would come here.
Now, where should he put his face?
"If this is the case, then the elders of the south dean and the north dean are also aware of it. You didn't stop it before, but now you are embarrassing us. Why do you think my husband and I are easy to bully?"
Lin Mengya also gained some fame in the inner palace by slaying the heroic dragon.
At least Song Yingkui and the hook-nosed person behind the scenes must know that she is someone not to be trifled with.
Sure enough, her question made the Nanyuan elder narrow his eyes.
"What do you mean by this? This is the inner palace, and you are not allowed to run wild as a woman!"
"It's a joke, your food and clothing supplies are all supplied by my Gong family's large chamber of commerce. Why, you want to demolish the bridge when you cross the river?"
The elder of Nanyuan Hospital obviously couldn't adapt to her arrogant tone and got up in arms.
"What can the Gong family do? Without the temple, how could you be where you are today!"
How could Lin Mengya be afraid of him?
At that moment, he responded unceremoniously.
"Why does the temple have a master, but the inner temple only has a great elder? Do you really think that my husband and I don't understand anything?"
I saw her staring at the other party, "The inner hall is the inner hall of the temple, and the master of the hall is the master of the entire temple! Now that the great elder is not here, I think you have begun to forget your roots!"
None of the four elders expected that Lin Mengya knew these secrets of the inner palace.
Of course, this was all thanks to the reply from the old palace master and master.
In the past, the Inner Temple was just a nursing home for the elderly in the temple. It was only after certain events that it now had rights similar to a "cabinet".
But in terms of power structure, no matter how powerful these people are, they should not surpass the palace master.
It's just that these things have long been forgotten in the dust of history.
Even the master of the former temple has seen it in ancient books recording the history of the temple.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The elder of Nanyuan looked a little angry, pointing at Lin Mengya and wanting to scold her.
at this time, But a cold voice was heard.
"Take your hand back."
Elder Nan dean was shocked.
But this short sentence made him feel frightened.
"you--"
"Old Chang, you'd better be quiet."
The shadowy elder from the North Dean who was sitting aside narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in the wheelchair.
For some reason, he always felt that this man had an aura that made him a little afraid.
"Komondo of the North Campus, I have met the master of the palace."
The elder of the North Dean was a foreigner. He was tall and burly. Although he had gray hair and was taciturn, he had the most explosive temper among the four people present.
However, even he showed weakness to Long Tianyu.
The elder of Nanyuan, who was helpless, was even more angry now.
"Comondo! I'm warning you, don't try to burn down the bridge!"
But the elder of the North Campus just looked at the other party lightly and said, "If you want to die, please continue."
After saying that, he sat back in his seat.
The situation suddenly changed from evenly matched to fighting alone.
In the end, it was the principal of the west school who came out to smooth things over.
"I'm sorry, madam, that's what the Nanyuan elder is like. You can't be as knowledgeable as him."
Lin Mengya is not a soft persimmon.
She glanced at the elder of the West Dean coldly, "It seems that the elder of the South Dean is quite fond of eating Jialong fruit recently. Although it is delicious, it will cause internal heat if you eat too much. From next month, you should stop eating it."
The elder of Nanyuan was stunned, and then he shouted angrily, "You, who do you think you are? It's not your turn to make the decision here!"
You know, that Jialong fruit is a good thing.
They live in the mountains all year round and have some minor ailments.
Jialong fruit can cure their diseases, but it is very seasonal. In the past, we had to work hard, and only a few were shipped back.
Now, the amount of things sent by the temple has increased a lot, and the quality is good.
Stop suddenly, how could the elder of Nanyuan District agree!
Lin Mengya said calmly, "I can't be your boss, but I can be the boss of the Great Chamber of Commerce. By the way, let me tell you, I subsidized this thing out of my own pocket.
If the elder of Nanyuan doesn’t believe it, you can go outside and ask around.”
She was so angry just now, but the elder of Nanyuan didn't take her words to heart.
Now that he heard her mention the Great Chamber of Commerce again, the elder of Nanyuan was secretly surprised.
Although they were in the inner palace, they were not ignorant of the situation outside. On the contrary, no matter what happened to Weiguo, they could always receive the news in time.
