Chapter 428

This fringe tree indeed made the Daoist temple look much quieter, and it was a beauty and goodness rarely seen in the world. If after the change of heaven and earth, the new dynasty still makes its capital here, and Zhenjian Palace can still stay here, I don't know how many people who leave their names in history will come here to enjoy the flowers and leave poems and articles.

Lin Jue was a little fascinated at this time.

"Please drink tea."

As soon as a cup of tea was finished, Daoist Jiang added it for him again.

Daoist Daoist Qingxuan smiled and said to him: "Daoist friend, you have been in the capital for this period of time. Have you heard any detailed news from the north?"

"I have heard news from the north, but it is not detailed," Lin Jue said truthfully. "I have rarely gone out during this period. I have gone out four times, and three of them were to visit Daoist brother and Daoist friend at Zhenjian Palace."

Daoist Daoist Qingxuan smiled when he heard this.

Daoist Jiang beside him also smiled slightly, which was rare.

"Then have you heard any news about that Lord Luo, Daoist friend?" Daoist Daoist Qingxuan asked again.

"I haven't heard."

Lin Jue was obviously interested, put down the teacup, and listened.

"Now the northern military towns moving south are like the warlords and princes of the chaotic world in the past, rising one after another. Among them, Shu Xianwen is the leader, but there are many internal factions. Besides Shu Xianwen, there are several generals such as Li, An, Cheng, Zhou, Chen, and Song, and the military family in Yubi County, Longzhou, and the Luo family also raised troops to respond."

Daoist Daoist Qingxuan said concisely and paused for a moment:

"The Yubi Luo family has already declined, and their military strength is not much. This poor Daoist guesses that by the end of last year, ah no, it should be the winter before last, before the northern military towns completely moved south, the previous family servants and recruited soldiers might have had three or five thousand people. However, this generation of the Luo family has a hero who is famous in the Jianghu and the capital, and is a recognized hero. Just by standing there, people come to follow him. It is said that the Luo family sent more than a dozen family letters to urge him to go home and conspire for great things."

Lin Jue heard this and already knew who this hero was.

The Luo family has Lord Luo, who else dares to call himself a hero?

"It is said that when he returned home from the capital, just on the day he passed through Qinzhou, there were four hundred cavalry following him. These four hundred cavalry were all Jianghu martial artists who were dissatisfied with the current imperial court and wanted to conspire for great things."

Daoist Daoist Qingxuan's tone gradually became solemn:

"The north has not had a good harvest in recent years. Since several years ago, it has been in turmoil, with many mountain bandits and robbers declaring themselves kings, and county magistrates holding troops and respecting themselves. It is said that before the northern military towns moved south, Lord Luo had conquered injustice in Longzhou, and these four hundred cavalry turned into personal guards following him, and wherever they passed, it was like heavenly soldiers passing through, and no one could stop them.

"Later, the Luo family responded to Shu Xianwen's call, took advantage of the signs of the chaotic world, and raised troops to move south. Lord Luo and the troops around him were also incomparably brave, gradually having the reputation of 'one thousand against ten thousand'."

Lin Jue didn't know where these four hundred cavalry came from, whether the extra three hundred cavalry were true or false, and whether they still had the ability, but when Lord Luo left the capital, he knew most of the more than one hundred cavalry around him—

Those were all Jianghu experts with deep martial arts, bravery, and fearlessness, who dared to draw their swords against demons!

"Daoist friend, you should know that counting through the dynasties, this kind of beginning is rare in history books," Daoist Daoist Qingxuan said. "Therefore, our god said: although the snake is thin, it already has the dragon's aura."

"The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; Lord Luo should be under pressure," Lin Jue said.

"The latest news is that Shu Xianwen, the leader of the northern princes, married his youngest daughter to him," Daoist Daoist Qingxuan laughed. "It should have been last autumn."

"It turned out to be so..."

Knowing that this is a political marriage and a political move, perhaps some concepts have quietly penetrated people's hearts, so that when hearing about old friends getting married and taking concubines, one can't help but smile.

After a few cups of tea, his whole body was warm.

Daoist Jiang still added tea and asked:

"Daoist friend, your Dao practice is almost complete. Leaving the capital at this time, you must be looking for the path to achieve the Truth and attain the Dao, right?"

"Still a bit short."

"I don't know when we will meet again, but with your talent, Daoist friend, perhaps achieving the Truth and attaining the Dao is not far away," Daoist Jiang said.

"Daoist friend Jiang is the same."

Lin Jue could see that Daoist Jiang's descent from the heavens, besides walking in the mortal world for Divine Lord Yi Li and Emperor Yu Yu Jian and spreading incense, was also a practice for her.

"Now your reputation is getting bigger and bigger in the hearts of the people of Qinzhou. In the mouths of the people of Qinzhou, the number of times your name is read is increasing, and the divine light and incense aura on you are getting heavier and heavier. I think after this change of heaven and earth, no matter what the outcome is, there should be another Yuezhao Yuanjun position in the heavens."

"It's not that easy."

Daoist Jiang's expression was still light, and she shook her head slowly.

Lin Jue asked curiously again: "How is life in the heavens?"

"Quiet, but also boring, worry-free, so much so that one can be heartless." Daoist Jiang had already stopped avoiding the fact that she was a god in front of him. He asked, and she answered. "One day in the heavens, perhaps nothing happens, only white clouds and wind, immortal music and cranes, and such a day will be repeated thousands of times, tens of thousands of times, hundreds of thousands of times."

"Can't you hear the prayers of believers?"

"It will be boring and tired after a long time. Even in the boredom, there is some trouble. Therefore, gods who can always stick to their original heart and duties are worthy of respect."

"What about you, Daoist friend, in the past?"

"Who would pray to a boy beside a god?"

"That's true."

"In the mortal world, it is said that one day in heaven is one year in the mortal world. I think it should be one year in heaven and one day in the mortal world," Daoist Jiang said. "Or it can be said that staying in heaven for a year is as short as a day, and the things experienced are as many as a day," Daoist Daoist Qingxuan said.

"That can also be said," Daoist Jiang said. "Therefore, immortals who cultivate and attain the Dao themselves, even if they are recruited by the Nine Heavens and granted positions, most of them stay in the mortal world as long as they don't have real positions."

Daoist Jiang looked at Lin Jue, and then looked at the "April snow" that hung down like snow and clouds beside her. The sparse tea smoke was still beside the branch snow, and the clear breeze blew it off, and she smiled and said:

"Although the heavens are good, the most beautiful things are all in the mortal world."

"I have gained knowledge."

"It is I who have gained knowledge."

"Haha! Today I have said goodbye to the two Daoist friends, and I should go with peace of mind."

"I wish you a smooth search for the Dao, Daoist friend," Daoist Jiang's expression was still light, and she added tea for him. "Daoist friend, please drink tea."

When Lin Jue walked out of Zhenjian Palace, it was already dusk.

It rained in the capital in the afternoon, and the clouds and snow of the fringe flowers in Zhenjian Palace were also beaten down a lot, falling into the courtyard. He even took a nap in Zhenjian Palace.

!

At this time, the rain had stopped, and the road was sandy.

"Lucky, lucky..."

Lin Jue went down the steps, looked at the road ahead, and suddenly laughed.

Fortunately, he spent money to ask the poor people in the capital to repair the road last summer and autumn, so the road was only a little muddy and watery, not muddy, just right for him to walk today.

"Lucky, lucky~"

The fox repeated his words on the side, tilting its head to look at him.

And I don't know when, it walked on the muddy road and water surface without getting its feet wet. I don't know if it was because its body was clean and not dirty, or because its feet didn't touch the ground at all, and even digging holes wouldn't get mud on its body. In short, the days when he forcibly pulled it over to wash its feet and take a bath because it got itself covered in mud had already gone forever.

"I should leave the capital tomorrow. Do you have any reluctance?" Lin Jue said to it.

"Reluctance?" The fox was puzzled. "Don't you often run around everywhere?"

"That's true."

Lin Jue nodded and smiled slightly.

By the time he walked back to the capital, it was already dark.

Every blue stone slab on the streets of the capital after the rain contained water, reflecting the ten thousand lights of this great capital, one by one, like the earth and the starry sky had swapped positions.

There were still pedestrians on the street, walking in a hurry.

Lin Jue saw a group of officials discussing in a low voice, saw military generals urgently recruited into the capital from other places, saw merchants frowning for some reason, and saw messengers galloping on horses.

Passing by tea merchants and wine shops, many voices entered his ears.

Some discussed that a certain northern general had rebellious intentions and was ordered by the old emperor to be urgently recalled to the capital to be questioned, probably to be beheaded, and others said he was framed by civil officials in the capital.

Others said that a certain official in the city was colluding with the enemy.

Some said they were robbed while doing business in the north and didn't know how to explain it when they went back, and others discussed which road could be taken, which force could still trade normally, and could even make a fortune from it.

Some talked about the war scenes they had seen in the north.

Others said that the south was also about to raise troops.

As for the two-headed cow, the five-legged cow, and more rumors predicting that the world would be in chaos, they were countless.

Counting them, most of them were worries.

Passing through the main street and walking into the small alley, the Daoist suddenly turned into a clear breeze, followed the wind into the courtyard.

After tidying up a little, he went out.

At this time, the three demon kings of Qinzhou had all been eliminated, and he had also said goodbye to his friends. The residence was watched by the old servant of Master Fan Tian, and protected by Wan Wan Xinrong and others, so he basically had no worries.

Let there be thousands of worries, he would withdraw himself.
