Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, passers-by, collect it, come and have a look when you have time, thank you in the desert!
?????????????????????????????????????????????
The blue ground is smooth and solemn. The rising sunlight shines on the bluestone, reflecting the light and reflecting the passing carriage on the road, like a blue mirror.
The carriage was churning, and Xue Poye was leaning in the carriage. In the carriage in front, Prince Yin was sitting.
Of course, it was impossible for Prince Yin to pick up Xue Poye in person. He just sent a carriage there. After picking up Xue Poye, they met together and headed towards the Ten Thousand Birds Garden he mentioned.
Prince Yin's car was not very conspicuous as it was driving on the street. Outsiders could only tell from the horned armored Yulin guards on both sides of the car that the car must be a nobleman from the palace. However, in Kyoto, such noblemen would always
They appeared from time to time, but no one was surprised. When they saw the car approaching, they would stand on either side of the car at a distance, stand respectfully, and let the car pass smoothly.
In addition to Xue Poye and Prince Yin's car, ten Yulin guards were separated on both sides. Behind the car, there were three more high horses. The passengers on the horses were all wearing long robes and jade belts. They could not hide the fierceness on their faces. Xue Poye just said
When they saw him, they knew that these guys were the so-called retainers of Prince Yin, because when these guys saw Xue Poye, their faces showed disdain and contempt.
They also had such an honor, riding in cars and swaggering through the city, but today the rules seemed to be different, and a few people felt a kind of hostility in their hearts towards this "Xue Shitou".
There is always such a kind of people in this world. When they are proud to be the lackeys of the nobles, they will always regard everyone as the lackeys wagging their tails and begging for mercy at the feet of the nobles. So, when the new dogs come out to seize their bones,
When they win the favor of their master, they will form a line and jointly repel the new companions.
Even though Xue Poye was not competing with them for favor at all, let alone a dog, they didn't care.
Xue Poye only felt that the car drove for more than half an hour and turned around several streets. Although there was no lack of shouting and hawking, overall, it was much worse than the bustling and lively streets in Jiangnan.
Suddenly, Xue Poye heard a noise coming from outside. It was bustling and very lively.
He originally thought he had arrived at the Ten Thousand Animals Garden, but when he opened the curtain and took a look, he knew that he must not have arrived at the Ten Thousand Animals Garden. On the side of a wide avenue, there were actually a lot of people crowded together.
A large number of people gathered around there.
Prince Yin's car suddenly stopped, as if he wanted to know what happened, or wanted to stop and watch the excitement, so Xue Poye's car and the escorts also stopped and stopped to watch.
Xue Poye raised his head slightly and took a deep breath. He saw a tall and large Taoist temple standing in front of the crowd.
There are three arched doors, green walls and red tiles, and flags are tumbling in front of the door. A white jade archway stands high on the left side of the Taoist temple, with the words "Connecting the gods and all spirits". On the door of this Taoist temple, there are three dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air.
A big character.
Ten Thousand Immortals View!
Xue Poye was not surprised that a Taoist temple would appear here in Kyoto. After all, the world is Taoist, and the national preceptor is a Taoist priest. His Majesty the Emperor favors Taoism, and it is normal to establish a Taoist temple.
What surprised him was that the scale of the Ten Thousand Immortals Temple was really too big. If the Prince Consort's Mansion was already wide and huge, then the Ten Thousand Immortals Temple seemed to be as big as several Prince Consort's Mansions. Even from the roadside, one could see the layers of
The towers and jade towers stand tall and majestic. If you didn't know better, you would think this is the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
The rolling Taoist temples and pavilions cover the area for several miles, which shows the great power of Taoism.
There was a huge crowd of people in front of the Taoist temple, as if something big was going on.
Finally, I saw six or seven carriages coming from the opposite direction. They were all extremely ornately decorated. The drivers who drove the carriages were also dressed as Taoist priests, waving whips and urging the horses.
Xue Poye could clearly see that next to each car, there was a couple of men and women, both of whom seemed to be from poor families. They were dressed in coarse linen and linen clothes. They followed the car on the left and the right. There was excitement on everyone's face.
Sexy, it looks like winning a five million jackpot in the 21st century.
Xue Poye frowned. He really couldn't guess who were in these cars. If they were dignitaries, then why were there two poor people, a man and a woman, on both sides of the car?
As the car got closer, more than a dozen young Taoist priests suddenly ran out from the crowd in front of the Taoist temple. They were dressed in blue robes and hats. They were arranged in a figure of eight on the left, five on the left, and five on the right, just like a human gate.
After a car stopped, the Taoist driver jumped out of the carriage and stood beside the car holding the reins of the horse. The poor woman on the right immediately walked to the car and shouted: "Girl, please offer your soul!"
"
The car curtain slowly opened, and a rather beautiful face was revealed first. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He took the woman's outstretched hand and got out of the car.
Only then did people see clearly that the girl was wearing a Bagua robe and a Taoist bun. At first glance, she looked like a female Taoist priest.
The girl looked very excited, with a hint of blush on her face. She was very happy as she looked at the big archway that "connects to the gods and all spirits".
Everyone present, including the Taoist priests, all knelt on the ground with great respect, and the expressions on their faces were even more pious. In front of the Taoist temple, there was suddenly a dark crowd of kneeling people.
Xue Poye sighed, and the thought of "fooling the people" crossed his mind, but thinking about the current era, even ghosts and gods believe in it. Taoism, as the state religion, naturally makes people believe in it.
The woman led the girl to the door of ten young Taoist priests, and immediately a young Taoist priest walked out, raised one palm, and sang: "Infinite Buddha, the spirit baby enters the pass!" After saying that, she walked straight towards the open black door of the Taoist temple.
Go to the door.
The girl hugged the woman slightly, immediately followed the little Taoist priest, entered the gate, and soon disappeared inside.
The empty car drove away, and the car behind immediately followed. Just like the girl before, a beautiful girl with a slightly plump body came out of the car. She held the hand of the woman beside the car, and finally followed the Taoist priest into the Taoist temple.
.
From the car behind, all the girls who got off were fifteen or sixteen years old, some were slender and delicate, some were plump and sexy, and so on, and they all followed into the Taoist temple.
When the six women got out of the car, Prince Yin's car finally moved forward, and Xue Poye's car followed closely. This weird scene was quickly left behind.
Xue Poye was puzzled. He didn't know whether these girls were real female Taoists. Looking at the expressions of each of them, they were so excited and happy, as if they were about to enter not a Taoist temple, but a paradise. Could it be that
Has Wanxian Temple begun to include female Taoist priests?
I wanted to find someone to ask, but there were so many car dealers that I really couldn't find a suitable person.
After walking for half a day, Xue Poye heard the sound of animals and birds chirping in his ears, and he knew in his heart that the Ten Thousand Birds Garden that Prince Yin mentioned might have really arrived this time.
The Ten Thousand Animals Garden is a royal amusement park. Firstly, it is a place for the royal family to watch and play. Secondly, it is for the purpose of collecting and releasing rare animals worshiped by various countries.
This is the suburbs in the west of Kyoto. The garden gate built with huge rocks is already full of carriages and horses. The servants of the dignitaries are resting in the sheds on both sides of the garden gate. On the top of a huge stone, there are also dragons and phoenixes writing.
Xue Poye scanned the words "Wanqinyuan" slightly, but felt that the handwriting of these three words was very similar to the handwriting of Wanxian Temple, as if they were written by the same person.
Prince Yin got out of the car. He was dressed much more solemnly today. He looked majestic and solemn, and his every move showed nobility in his bones.
"Master Xue, this is the Ten Thousand Birds Garden, which houses rare animals from all over the world." Prince Yin came over and took Xue Poye's hand, and said with a smile: "From rabbits to pheasants, to lions and tigers, everything is here. You are here today.
It’s time to take a good look at it.”
Xue Poye nodded with a smile and said, "If it weren't for Prince Yin's love, the common people would not have this blessing."
The three disciples also dismounted and came over. The subordinate Yu Linwei had already driven the horse to the side. The disciple with a mustache at the front chuckled and said, "You are Princess Yi's master Xue Shitou?"
Xue Poye glanced at him and saw the contempt on his face. Although he was unhappy in his heart, he still said with a smile: "I don't dare, this is Xue Shitou." He called Prince Yin "a commoner" because Liu Ziyin was
The prince, of course, has no need to treat these retainers. He calls himself "I" and has already given him some face.
The man with the mustache still chuckled and said: "Being able to enter the Prince Consort's Mansion to teach Princess Yi, it seems that your skills are not low."
Seeing that there was a hint of provocation in his words, Xue Poye frowned slightly and said calmly: "When it comes to means, I think everyone has their own special skills. Even Sage Kong said that three people go together.
, I must be my teacher, I’m afraid there are some things about you that you can’t compare to.”
The man with a mustache said angrily: "Xue Shitou, what you said is a bit arrogant. If you really have no means, I advise you not to cause trouble to Prince Yin, and you should go away as soon as possible."
The other two people behind him also said: "Yes, none of Prince Yin's disciples are smart people, and they can't use those trivial skills."
Prince Yin kept smiling and silent, quietly listening to the arguments of several people.
“Oh!”
It has tarnished the prince’s reputation.”
Prince Yin finally smiled and said: "Everyone, please enjoy your trip today and don't let your friendship get hurt." Pointing to the three people with eight-character beards, he said: "Master Xue, these three are the Zhao brothers from Humen on the edge of Sichuan. This is the eldest brother Zhao Zhongxiang.
This is Zhao Zhongyu, and that is Zhao Zhongyi, who has recently joined me and is a great figure in Sichuan. You should get closer and closer to each other."
Prince Yin's words were obviously very high-level. He did not directly praise the three people's abilities. He only said that the three people were great people in Sichuan. In this way, if the Zhao brothers have ordinary abilities, they can be regarded as ordinary people.
Take down the defense first.
In Kyoto, there are many strange people and strange people. If you dominate a place in other places, it may not be easy to do it in Kyoto.
While he was talking, Prince Yin had already led several people into the Ten Thousand Birds Garden. As soon as he entered the door, Xue Poye saw that there were more than a dozen armored soldiers guarding both sides of the door. When they saw Prince Yin, they all bowed.
He saluted, but a yellow-robed eunuch had already rushed over and said respectfully: "I have seen Prince Yin, Prince Fu is waiting at Hushan."
"Prince Fu?" Xue Poye frowned slightly: "If the news is good, these two people are mortal enemies."
It turns out that the so-called fourth child is the fourth prince Liu Zifu!
With the sounds of beasts and birds chirping, the eunuch led Prince Yin and his entourage through the Ten Thousand Birds Garden to the Tiger Mountain.
Only then did Xue Poye truly understand the vastness of the Wanqiao Garden. He could not see the edges at a glance, with forests to the east, water to the west, mountains to the south, and sand to the north. In short, according to the habits of the animals, they had their own residences, and the keepers were all
Wearing black clothes and black trousers, he looks neat and healthy.
All the beasts near and far, together, probably number in the tens of thousands.
As if he deliberately asked Prince Fu to wait, Prince Yin led a few people for a walk, looking very interested, and even sometimes commented on some animals, enjoying themselves.
Xue Poye sighed at the wide variety of animals here. There were many wild beasts that he had never expected to appear here, and he felt like visiting a zoo in his previous life.
I really don’t understand why Prince Fu would hold the party in such a place. Did he want the ferocious beasts here to eat Prince Yin?
Prince Yin only brought himself and the Zhao brothers into the garden this time. He obviously had no scruples. Maybe he was confident and knew that Prince Fu would not dare to attack him here. Or, even if he did, he would definitely be as smart as Prince Yin.
Proper arrangements have already been made.
Since Prince Yin was strolling around, Xue Poye was also happy to open his eyes. Based on his knowledge, there were many beasts that he had never seen before, let alone their names. It was not easy for him to ask, but he just felt that he
In that era of the previous life, many animals must have become extinct. The many strange animals I see here today are nothing more than animals that later became extinct.
Since Prince Yin was walking slowly, the eunuch naturally did not dare to rush him, but he was always a little anxious. After all, keeping Prince Fu waiting for a long time was something that made Prince Fu very unhappy.
Prince Fu is eccentric by nature and is prone to anger. If he is not careful, he may really get hit.
However, the road always ends, and people always arrive, so when Prince Yin was very happy, they finally crossed the tree-lined road and arrived at Hushan.
Xue Poye saw the mountain plain in front of him that covered the Aurora from a distance, and knew that it was the so-called Tiger Mountain. On the mountain plain, there were indeed several tigers strolling leisurely.
By the side of Tiger Mountain, since there was a group of people standing, wearing brocade robes, jade robes, and even official robes, there were no less than twenty people in number, so naturally they were all high-ranking officials.
Xue Poye sighed secretly. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a misfortune that he was close to the core of power in Kyoto so quickly!
Liu Zifu is the fourth prince of the current emperor.
Prince Fu is very tall, and his face is very white. It is neither pale nor pale, but a color as clear and translucent as white jade.
His eyes were not pitch black, but they were terrifyingly bright, like two cold stars embedded in his eye sockets. On his dark head, he wore a sandalwood constellation beaded crown, and the clothes on his body were as white as snow. He was almost
Without a smile, his eyes are sharp, like a king looking down at his court, or like a flying fairy from the sky descending to the earth.
Of course he is much more beautiful and younger than Prince Yin.
Prince Fu's clothes are always made of the noblest materials, their styles are always the latest, and their handicrafts are always the most exquisite. The folding fan in his hand is also a fine product worth thousands of gold. When necessary, it can even be used as a weapon. The only way to die is under the folding fan.
Only those who know the horror of this folding fan.
In fact, he always pursues excellence!
It's not that first-class wine can't enter his mouth, he doesn't like women who aren't first-class, and even if the carriage isn't first-class, he won't ride in it.
Fortunately, he is a prince, so he always gets first-class things.
Xue Poye saw the fourth prince who was as cold as ice from far away.
In this world, there are people who have never seen the prince in their entire life, or even the prince's car. However, in just two days, Xue Poye saw the second prince Liu Ziyin and the fourth prince Liu Zifu.
I always feel that my luck is really good.
Seeing Prince Yin coming, the officials and dignitaries surrounding him all bowed and saluted.
"Today is a nice day. It is a good choice for you all to gather here." Prince Yin said to everyone with a smile.
He always seemed to have a smile on his face, and he always seemed so kind to others, which was in sharp contrast to Prince Fu's stern expression.
The officials and dignitaries talked politely and flattered each other, but Prince Yin always smiled and greeted them. He seemed to have no airs at all. From his appearance alone, Prince Yin seemed to be more popular.
"I thought my good second brother didn't dare to come!" Prince Fu said coldly.
Prince Yin said leisurely: "Fourth brother is invited, and the older brother has to come. What's more, it's just a visit to the garden, there's nothing you dare to do!"
Only then did Xue Poye realize that beside Prince Fu, there was actually a beautiful lady serving him.
Prince Fu's face remained stern and he said calmly: "I'm afraid you're tired of looking at the things in the garden. I brought some new things here a while ago, so I invite you to come and take a look, lest my second brother say that I don't take you seriously.
superior."
"Fourth brother has always kept me in his heart, and the elder brother understands that." Prince Yin said with genuineness: "Fourth brother has always kept me in my heart, so why don't I always keep you in my heart."
Xue Poye didn't listen to what they were saying, but turned his gaze to the side. He saw that there were two stone houses in Tiger Mountain. He thought they were a resting place for tigers, but it seemed that they had just been built. Those two stone houses
Inside, there was a strange cry, like a wolf howling and a lion roaring. Listening to it, it actually gave people a chill.
On a huge rock not far from the stone house, there stood a strange man in green clothes with disheveled hair and sloppy clothes. He looked like a madman. He had a thumb-thick wire casually tied around his waist.
It looks very special.
"There!" Prince Fu pointed at the stone house and said simply: "It's right inside."
Prince Yin also looked over there, frowned slightly and said, "What is it?"
"In the room on the left, there are three snow-capped Tibetan mastiffs." Prince Fu said coldly, "In the room on the right, there are two male lions."
"Lion? Tibetan mastiff?" Prince Yin suddenly laughed and said, "So you just want me to see such a new thing."
"They are special!"
"special?"
Prince Fu looked at the stone house and said word by word: "They have been hungry for three days, and now they have a strong thirst for food." He paused, glanced at the officials and dignitaries around him, and said slowly: "I can guarantee it.
, every Tibetan mastiff and every lion there has eaten at least three people, including warriors."
His words shocked the hearts of the officials and dignitaries present, and even Xue Poye felt a terrifying chill.
"They are the emperors among Tibetan mastiffs and the monarchs among lions!" A cruel sneer finally appeared on Prince Fu's lips.dd
