Ji Xiaowu complained: "Cousin, aren't you very powerful, you calculate so slowly?"
Mingwei glanced at him: "My cousin made it so easy, are you coming?"
"Uh..." Ji Xiaowu waved his hand and admitted defeat, "Forget it, I'll shut up."
Mingwei continued to move forward slowly.
Although Duofu has learned everything she needs to learn, her proficiency is still a bit lacking. Such a complex question is a bit difficult for her, and she cannot calculate it so quickly.
When he reached the last fork in the road, Mingwei stopped looking at the topic and only stared at the changes around him.
Ji Xiaowu waited impatiently until he saw her finally take that step, choose a path, and walk over.
This maze is not big, and after only walking about ten steps, the scenery gradually becomes clear.
From another fork in the road, footsteps were also heard.
Mingwei looked up and saw that Mr. Yang and his maid came out of the maze at the same time as her.
Standing in front of the abbot exactly.
Only then did Emperor Tiancheng exhale.
He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
The imperial power has fallen, and the Chu family is in danger. Whether in the court or in the military, the Tang family is too powerful. And what about him? The only people he can use are at the level of the Chang family, who are much worse than them.
He had no confidence at all that he could recover the Chu family.
A few years ago, he wanted to meet Master Shishi and ask him to show him a clear path and tell him whether there was any hope for the future.
That Young Master Yang appeared, and the Chang family father and son reminded him.
Can the fortune-telling skills of Xuanwu Mountain impress Master Ignorance?
God seemed to have given him a chance. In this debate meeting, the master unexpectedly brought out the Lotus of Merit, which inevitably made Emperor Tiancheng think a little more.
Maybe, I don’t know that the master has been paying attention to him? It was just because of the Tang family, he was afraid of attracting the attention of Duke Dai.
With hope in his heart, when Yang Shu walked through the maze, he was even more nervous than himself. He only stared at his figure and even forgot to drink tea.
Now I finally saw him standing in front of the abbot. I felt relieved and felt thirsty, so I reached out to get some water.
Chang Zhengming personally served him tea and said with a smile: "Brother Yang is really talented and knowledgeable. Of all the people, he and... those two are the only ones who have walked out of the maze."
The other two? Emperor Tiancheng discovered that Ming Wei and Ji Xiaowu also came out of the maze.
"Whose family does that belong to?"
Chang Zhengming glanced at Tang Xi quickly and replied: "I just saw that under the building where they came out, there were guards from Duke Dai's palace."
Emperor Tiancheng's heart sank, and he looked at Tang Xi: "Tang She is from Tang, right?"
Tang Xi seemed not to notice, and nodded with a smile: "Yes."
Emperor Tiancheng was silent for a while and said: "The Daiguo Palace is really full of talented people!"
I finally got this opportunity and actually arrived at the same time as the people from Dai Guogong's mansion.
Could it be that God also thinks that the Tang family is qualified to compete with the Chu family?
Emperor Tiancheng felt various emotions in his heart and stared at the abbot.
"I wonder who will give this Merit Lotus to when both parties arrive at the same time?"
After Emperor Tiancheng asked this question, the guards outside who were inquiring about the news rushed back and sent a message: "Your Majesty, the abbot said that since both parties arrived together, it is considered a pass. There is only one Merit Lotus, and it is not easy for him to make his own decisions. Please don't know.
The master decides.”
Emperor Tiancheng was surprised: "Really? Then Young Master Yang..."
"Young Master Yang ordered his subordinates to come down and invite your Majesty to bear witness together."
Emperor Tiancheng let out a long breath.
It’s done.
That merit lotus, who cares?
What he wants is such an opportunity, an opportunity to meet the master I don’t know!
At the same time, over at the Tang family.
Tang Shao tapped the rim of his cup, his eyes sinking slightly.
Taoist Master Jin had already returned and said, "That boy is quite capable. He actually walked out of the maze. Tang Er, look at this..."
Wen Xiuyi curled her lips and said, "Who knows if she did it on purpose or how it was such a coincidence that they came out of the maze together? I think she walked slower and slower afterwards. Most likely she was waiting for someone else on purpose."
Taoist Master Jin blew his beard: "You girl, don't talk nonsense. Do you know how difficult the maze is? Taoist Master has only reached five or six intersections, and he can't solve the problem, so he has to quit. The further you go, the harder it becomes.
,What’s weird about walking slowly?”
Wen Xiuyi wanted to say more. The guards of the Tang family over there also came to report: "...the abbot wants to ask Master Ignorance to make a decision. Miss Mingqi invites the second young master to come with him."
Tang Shao nodded: "Then let's go."
"Hey, senior brother, I'll go too!" Wen Xiuyi quickly got up and chased after him.
Taoist Master Jin was naturally unwilling to be left alone: "How can we forget Master Taoist? Just keep walking!"
The results of the maze were revealed, and the monks stepped forward and quickly dismantled the maze.
Another eminent monk came on stage and began to lecture.
Mingwei and others followed the abbot to the place where the master did not know where to practice.
It was a small Buddhist temple deep in Wenxia Mountain, with several tile-roofed houses, a courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences, a pond of lotus flowers in a small pond, and a rooster that announced the dawn squatting on the low wall, arrogantly
looked at them.
The abbot asked them to help themselves and went into the back hall.
Tang Shao came over to pay homage to Emperor Tiancheng.
Emperor Tiancheng's expression showed nothing unusual, and he looked quite friendly: "It turns out to be Erlang! I thought I would meet Duke Dai!"
Tang Shao replied with a smile: "My father has been busy recently. I have nothing to do, so I took them to Dongzhi Temple to relax."
"Really?" Emperor Tiancheng turned his eyes and landed on Ming Wei and Ji Xiaowu.
Just in time, Mingwei lifted the barrier and revealed his true face.
When Emperor Tiancheng saw it, his breath froze for a moment.
After finally steadying his breathing, he asked Tang Shao with a smile: "Erlang, this lady is..."
Tang Shao moved his position without leaving a trace, blocking Emperor Tiancheng's view, and replied: "This is Miss Ming Qi. She cured my grandmother's nightmare disease a few months ago. My father is grateful for her kindness, so he stays in the house as a guest."
He didn't mention Mingweiqi's identity at all, fearing that Emperor Tiancheng would be obsessed with him.
The fiancée of the prince of Qi was a prisoner in Chu and had no one to rely on.
Sure enough, after hearing that he was the benefactor of the Tang family, Emperor Tiancheng looked away: "I see."
He had something on his mind and was not in the mood to talk.
Others saw that the emperor was silent, so naturally it was difficult to speak. The temple was quiet for a while, and the only sound that could be heard was the clucking of roosters from time to time outside.
After a while, the abbot reappeared and said: "Your Majesty, Tan Yue, my master said that since you two have been freed, we should abide by our promise. However, we can't get a second merit lotus at the moment, so our master uses one.
The hexagrams are exchanged. I don’t know who wants the merit lotus and who wants the fortune telling?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Shu was the first to say: "I am a disciple of Xuanwu Mountain. I have been studying numerology since I was a child. I have a chance to meet the master I don't know. I just want the master to take the time to give me some advice. Therefore, I want to know which hexagram I want."
The abbot looked not surprised at all, nodded, and asked Mingwei: "Where are you two?"
Mingwei replied: "I heard that I have the merit lotus in hand, so I can ask the master for help. I see that the process of making the merit lotus is complicated, so there is no need to ask the master. How about exchanging it directly?" (To be continued)
