In the Zongsheng Palace on the viewing platform at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, cigarette smoke fills the air, and the sound of bells ringing can be heard all the time.
An old man with a three-locked beard, a dignified manner, and a gorgeous Taoist robe walked out of the backyard with a smile on his face. He was followed by several other Taoist priests who were also wearing Taoist robes and were of varying heights, short, fat, and thin. They were
Like stars holding the moon, there is a handsome Taoist priest who is dressed in snow-white, a unique Taoist robe that is completely different from the other Taoist robes, and holding a white jade whisk in his hand.
After seeing these Taoist priests appear, the pilgrims offering incense in the front yard suddenly made a low sound.
"Qizhenren, it's Qizhenren..."
"Not only that, but also Zhenren Zhang, Zhenren Hou, Zhenren Yin, my God! All the living gods from Louguan Dao have appeared. I am so lucky today..."
"..."
Of course, not all pilgrims are interested in the high priests of Louguan Dao. There are also some ladies who come to offer incense. The young ladies have their eyes firmly welded to these high priests.
On the body of the young Taoist priest gathered among them.
"I dare to ask this gentleman, do you know who the little Taoist priest Qizhen and others are surrounding? He is the one who is wearing a white Taoist robe and is very handsome..."
Among the people present, there were indeed some well-informed people who quickly gave the answer after seeing the handsome Taoist priest in white.
"That...he is the Qingwei Immortal from Qingdu Temple, with a straight mouth..."
"It is said that Laojun often showed his sage at the Qingdu Temple... It was there that King Qin met Laojun. It is said that Laojun also gave him two jade cups."
"Oh...you will understand when you say that the Guannu family in Qingdu is the Taoist temple where Zhang Chenghuang currently lives temporarily, right?"
"..."
"Qi Zhenren, there is no need to give it away!"
Amidst the pointing fingers of the pilgrims around him, Kong Qing, dressed in white and surrounded by the high priests of Louguan Taoism, walked near the gate of Zongsheng Palace.
All the eminent Taoists present saluted one by one.
"Thank you all the real people from Louguan Dao for your help to Pindao. I am very grateful!"
"Master Qingwei is too polite..."
The old man with three long beards and gorgeous Taoist uniforms at the head is Qi Hui, the master of Louguan Taoism. Well! In order to congratulate His Majesty Li Yuan in advance for his victory over the four directions, he has changed his name to Qi Pingding.
Qi Pingding stroked his beard with his hand and said with a smile.
"It is the duty of our Taoist sect to subjugate demons. Since there are evildoers causing trouble, it is naturally our duty to subjugate demons and it is not worthy of our thanks!"
"Qi Zhenren has high righteousness, but poor Taoism has a profound sense of justice!"
Kong Qing once again raised his hands and saluted Qi Pingding, and then raised his hands to salute a burly Taoist priest standing aside.
"Thank you so much for Master Zhang's help this time."
"What's there to be thankful for..."
The burly Taoist priest, Zhang Changwen, the grumpy old man of Louguan Taoism who beat up Master Wang Guiwang of the Shangqing sect when he disagreed with Kong Qingkai during the foundation building ceremony, waved his hand and said carelessly.
"Pindao just likes to fight..."
"uh-huh!"
Before Zhang Changwen could speak, he saw a Taoist priest standing on the other side with a slim figure and an air of immortality. He clenched his fist with his hand, put it to his mouth and coughed lightly.
After hearing the coughing sound, the muscles on Zhang Changwen's face trembled momentarily, and his words changed.
"... I like to subjugate demons, slay demons and protect the Tao. Since there are snake demons in trouble now, I should do my best to restore the world to a peaceful world."
"Zhang Zhenren is so noble and upright, which is really enviable."
Kong Qing pretended not to hear the change in Zhang Changwen's words. After thanking everyone sincerely, he turned to look at Qi Pingding and said with a compliment.
"Louguan Dao has a Dharma master like Master Qi, and has the support of all the masters, so why worry about it not being able to prosper!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, the high-ranking Taoists of Louguan Taoism, such as Qi Pingding, Yin Wenchao, Ju Guozhen and others nodded and smiled, and the scene was very harmonious and harmonious.
…
While Kong Qing was having friendly exchanges with the high-ranking Taoists of Louguan Dao, on the other side, the warrior Xun who was reporting to His Majesty Li Yuan in the Zhaode Hall looked a little uneasy, even when His Majesty Li Yuan was speaking.
He also lost his mind.
There was nothing he could do. The news that the man in black brought to Kong Jingjing yesterday was so exciting that he couldn't sleep well all night. When he woke up this morning, his mind was still in a mess.
After all, it is really incredible that Jieyu of the Saint Xinna, the Pei family lady who conspired with the monks of the Fahua Sect to kill her nephew, was actually a hidden female assassin who assassinated Fu Yi and Zhang Daoyuan.
What if Pei Jieyu suddenly assassinated her when she was with the saint Dun Lun...
This is really terrible!
I don’t know if it’s because I have thoughts every day and dreams at night. Last night, Warrior Yu tossed and turned for a long time. After finally falling asleep, he dreamed about Pei Jieyu...
The specific dream warrior Xun is a little unclear now, but there is one picture that is very clear. That is a snow-white body writhing on a bed, and it is vaguely Pei Jieyu talking to the saint Dunlun. The result is this
At that moment, he saw the snow-white body suddenly took out a dagger from his body and swung it at a certain part of the man beneath him.
When the woman brandished the sword, her determined look frightened the samurai Yu out of his sleep and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Wu Qing...Wu Qing..."
Just when the warrior Xun was distracted, he suddenly seemed to hear the saint's voice calling him. When he came back to his senses, he found that His Majesty Li Yuan was sitting crookedly behind the table, looking at him with a playful expression.
"Wu Qing, wake up quickly!"
"I have no status..."
Seeing that he had disobeyed the emperor, the warrior Xun immediately fell to the ground in front of His Majesty Li Yuan.
"Please forgive me, saint!"
"This place is not a Tai Chi Palace, and it doesn't hurt to lose your etiquette occasionally."
His Majesty Li Yuan waved his hand casually and revealed the matter about the warrior Xun.
"Wu Qing, you are usually cautious and self-restrained. Why are you so restless today? Could it be because your wedding is approaching? But this is not your first time as a groom, Wu Qing. You shouldn't be like this!"
"this……"
Samurai Yu hesitated for a moment, wanting to tell the news he had received, but after the words rolled around his mouth, they turned out to be.
"I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Pei Ju. After all, he was still very healthy when the court meeting was held the day before yesterday, but in an instant... I can't help but feel sad and ask the saint to forgive me!"
"snort……"
Hearing the warrior Yu mention Pei Ju, Li Yuan was immediately aroused with anger in his heart and snorted.
"I get angry when I mention this matter. First it was the Hidden Sect, and then it was the Kongkong Jingjing. These damn practitioners, one by one, acted arbitrarily in my court and killed my important officials. It's really..."
As he spoke, Li Yuan raised his hand and slapped the tables in front of him heavily.
"The most irritating thing is that my concubine Pei went to pay homage to Pei Ju. As a result, Kong Kong Jingjing's men cut off the beams of the flower hall. When she came down from the side hall, she was directly crushed under it, almost a mile away.
Diandian died along with Pei Ju, it's simply... it's unbearable, but it's unbearable!"
Seeing how His Majesty Li Yuan was so angry because of Pei Jieyu, the warrior Xun was even more afraid to tell the news he knew.
"But Wu Qing, you don't have to worry too much..."
After His Majesty Li Yuan lost his temper, he turned to the warrior Yu and said comfortingly.
"I have given an order to the Taishi Bureau to make some amulets. Although it is impossible for every minister in the court to reward one, an important minister like you, Qing Wu, will definitely be able to get one."
"yes!"
Warrior Xun saluted His Majesty Li Yuan with a respectful expression and thanked him.
"Thank you saint for your grace..."
At this time, I suddenly heard the chamberlain shouting loudly outside the door of Zhaode Hall.
"Reporting to the saint, Pei Jieyu is here to answer the call!"
Then, the warrior Yu saw that His Majesty Li Yuan's face seemed to be full of energy, and he shouted to the door.
"Quick announcement! Quick announcement!"
"saint……"
Warrior Xun looked at His Majesty Li Yuan's attitude towards Pei Jieyu, sighed silently in his heart, and then bowed to Li Yuan and saluted.
"Since the saint has something to do, I will leave first."
"well!"
Li Yuan did not try to persuade him to stay, but waved his hand casually.
"Wu Qing, please go ahead. I have prepared a gift for you, which will be delivered to your home when you get married in a few days."
"yes!"
Warrior Xun once again danced in front of Li Yuan with a grateful face, bowing and thanking him.
"Thank you so much for the saint's grace. It's hard to repay my love..."
A few minutes later, the warrior Yu who exited Zhaode Palace met the new Pei Jieyu in the corridor of His Highness.
Although the Lady Pei in front of him was dressed in a fancy dress, when he saw her face, Samurai Yu subconsciously thought of the scene he saw in his dream last night...
A snow-white body was twisting, and then a dagger was taken out from the body, and it was swung at a certain part of the man beneath him. While swiping the knife, the body twisted like a snake, and his eyes were
Sharp.
"Hiss..."
Warrior Xun took a deep breath, nodded unnaturally to Pei Jieyu, and left without looking back.
Pei Xinru looked at the purple-robed official whose face changed drastically after seeing her, took a breath of cold air, and hurriedly left. A look of confusion suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Why does this official look so weird when he sees himself? Could it be that he has known himself before? Or maybe he knows some secrets about himself that no one can know...
Although her heart felt like electricity was spinning, Pei Xinru's feet still did not change at all, her steps were still graceful and her manners were neat.
The next moment, she casually turned her head to look at the waiter who was guiding her, and seemed to ask casually.
"My father-in-law, the purple-robed official who passed by just now seemed to be walking in such a hurry. Could it be that he was taught a lesson by a saint?"
"That official who just passed by?"
The chamberlain turned to look at the departing figure of Samurai Yu, and then laughed in realization.
"No, Wu Shangshu is a close minister of the saint. The saint has never said anything to Wu Shangshu. However, I heard that good things are coming to Wu Shangshu. It must be a happy event for people, so they are walking in a hurry!"
"oh!"
Pei Xinru looked back at the warrior Yu's back.
"Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is your wedding date approaching? I know..."
