Today was another peaceful day. Tang Yue was thinking about where to go. The calligraphy and painting exhibition that Jin Zui took her to last time was very good and allowed her to appreciate the masterpieces of art from this dynasty. She planned to go to Jin Zui again and ask
Ask where there are other fun things.
Jin Zui was not an ordinary dandy, he was also a famous calligraphy and painting artist. His family was proud to have produced a talented man, and they did not force him to obtain a title and become an official.
Just when she was about to go out, King Duan came to her and asked, "Are you going to hang out again?"
"Yes, I want to experience the culture and art here and improve my literary and artistic atmosphere." In fact, Tang Yue was somewhat avoiding what Meng Furong asked her to do.
So when she saw Lu Lingyi, she couldn't hide the look on her face that she wanted to leave.
King Duan felt that this spy was too incompetent. She was idle all day and did not do any serious work. Why wouldn't her employer come to supervise her?
True Employer Meng Furong: Got it, we’re working on something.
"Well, since you are a cultivator, you must be very familiar with Taoist classics. Can you accompany me to the Dharma ceremony held in Qingyang Palace?" King Duan did not intend to ask for her consent, he was just here to inform her.
"Can I not go?"
"No, junior sister has been living, eating, and playing here for almost a month. You won't refuse to agree to such a small request, right?"
"Okay then, what can I do?"
Lu Lingyi was very well-behaved. At this time, in order to maintain his demeanor, he could only clench his fists and tell himself to hold back.
The two of them were sitting in the same carriage. Tang Yue closed her eyes and meditated, looking like a master. This was not the case when she went to play a few days ago.
Lu Lingyi's version of King Duan teased her: "Junior sister is indeed a Taoist, she can sit like this."
"Senior brother, that's ridiculous. It's just that Master always teaches us to be calm and refine our minds. I just don't forget his teachings."
King Duan complained in his heart, he didn't see how calm you were when you went to play.
The other courtyard is in the suburbs of Beijing, not far from the Qingyang Palace where they want to go. The two of them took a carriage and arrived there in less than an hour.
Many people have come to attend the Dharma Assembly. The Qingyang Palace is very popular and the seats for the Dharma Assembly are very popular. Only dignitaries can get the seats in the first few rows.
King Duan is a noble among the nobles, so the two of them naturally occupy the front row.
When everyone saw that King Duan had come with a pretty girl, they began to whisper, "King Duan has been quiet for half a year, and now another one has appeared."
"I just said that Prince Duan is so charming, how could he give up the red flowers and green leaves around him for the eldest daughter of the Jin family?"
Tang Yue heard these words, and she looked at Senior Brother Lu who was walking in front on the left. He had a Qinghua temperament, gentle and elegant, and was very decent.
The romantic and suave person was probably the original King Duan, and Senior Brother Lu didn't change his character even after he became Queen Duan.
"Junior sister, what's wrong with my clothes? Why do you look at me like this?" Lu Lingyi noticed her gaze.
Tang Yue said bluntly, "No, it's just that I think senior brother has a refined temperament, and I don't think you are suave."
Lu Lingyi thought deeply. He also felt that the self in his memory was like a stranger, nothing like himself now.
Prince Duan was indeed a romantic man, he was extremely gentle to women, and he loved teasing with beautiful women. He could be said to be sympathetic to her, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was frivolous.
But he is not that passionate about women at all. He cares more about government affairs and people's livelihood, and his favorite thing is practicing swordsmanship.
Could it be that he is gradually awakening to his previous personality?
The Dharma conference was held at an open-air Dharma platform. Qingyang Palace arranged tables and chairs for dignitaries under the stage, and some futons were placed outside for the wealthy businessmen who had bought seats to attend the lecture.
Ordinary people on the outside could only stand and listen. Some people were already standing outside the wall, wondering if they could hear clearly.
They did not come to listen to the lectures, but they just thought that the Dharma Conference would have the effect of praying for blessings. After listening to the Dharma Conference, they would be able to keep their family safe and free from illness and disaster.
When the time came, the Dharma assembly was still delayed. King Duan asked the Taoist priest standing aside, "Is there something wrong, Abbot Kong?"
Mortal Taoist temples have absorbed the experience of Buddhist temples during their development, and the person in charge is also called the abbot.
"My lord, don't worry, we have already gone to invite the abbot."
Just as the crowd's hustle and bustle became louder and louder, Abbot Kong appeared and said, "You guys have been waiting for a long time. I came so late because something happened."
An old man sitting under the altar asked: "Abbott, what important thing happened?"
"The reason I haven't been here for so long is because I just learned about an important matter. In the heart of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, a fox demon has appeared, with the intention of causing chaos in the world." Abbot Kong had a serious look on his face.
Tang Yue sat up, this was for her.
Some people hurriedly asked, "Abbott, where is this demon? Can it be killed?"
Abbot Kong pointed at her, "This demon is right here, the woman sitting next to King Duan."
In an instant, everyone looked at her, and the scene was completely silent.
King Duan also looked at her in surprise. It turned out that this girl was a fox demon? No wonder she had such a confusing appearance, and he couldn't find out her origin.
Tang Yue stood up calmly and walked onto the altar, "I also have something important to tell you."
Everyone was shocked and confused, but they all avoided her when she approached her.
"This person has deceived the world and stolen his name, but he is actually an evil heretic who uses human life and soul to cultivate. I am here to expose his true face." Tang Yue put one hand on his waist and pointed the other finger at Abbot Kong.
She didn't sense this person's skill, or his cultivation level was too high, far beyond hers. Then it would be useless for her to run away at this time, he could capture her on the spot.
Either this person was also trapped in the identity of Abbot Kong by Meng Furong and could not escape, so he used evil methods again and again in Jiangshui Town to try to break through Meng Furong's shackles.
"You monster, how dare you insult me? Do you know that I am the abbot of this noble lord with great morals and respect?"
"How can anyone praise themselves for their high moral character? I think you use this reputation to be compassionate on the surface but secretly harm people's lives, and I have evidence!"
In fact, Tang Yue didn't have too hard evidence, but she had to be decisive at this time and deceive everyone that she had evidence, otherwise she would be captured by these mortals.
Although escaping is not a problem, Meng Furong's mission is impossible.
She turned to everyone, "Everyone, this person just knew that I discovered his crime and wanted to identify him here, so he slandered me as a goblin, and I am just a slightly pretty woman."
King Duan was amused, she was also boasting.
Tang Yue continued, speaking very quickly, without giving Abbot Kong a chance to speak, "Otherwise, why can he just slander me with empty words at this moment without producing evidence? And I can produce evidence for everyone to see now."
Abbot Kong was very anxious. He learned from Meng Furong that this woman was a fox demon, and he thought that he might be able to find a way to obtain her inner elixir, so that he might be able to recover his skills and find a way to get out of this illusion.
Unexpectedly, this monster actually said that there was evidence that he had set up a resentful soul array.
"Don't listen to her monstrous words to confuse people. She is a monster and has great abilities. She can naturally fabricate evidence against me."
Tang Yue immediately burst into tears and expressed grievances, "I'm just an ordinary weak woman. How can I fabricate evidence? Otherwise, why would I stand here and let you slander me."
"You have killed so many people with your demonic ways. Now you are repeating your old tricks. First you slander ordinary humans as demons, and then you take the opportunity to kill people in the name of destroying demons. I am so wronged!"
Everyone was a little confused, but they still believed in Abbot Kong, "You monster, don't slander Abbot Kong, and you won't be arrested without hesitation!"
Tang Yue could only look at Senior Brother Lu with tears in his eyes, "Prince Duan, even you believe that I am a monster, why do you want my soul to dissipate here?"
As she spoke, she took out a small handkerchief to wipe her tears.
The corners of Lu Lingyi's eyes twitched, Junior Sister Hongyu had quite a few tricks up her sleeve.
"I brought this woman here. I will take responsibility for this matter and investigate the matter clearly. There is no need to panic."
Since King Duan has taken charge of this matter, no one can arrest Tang Yue in front of him.
