Chapter 504: Zixiao Palace and Zi Emperor
Last night's long talk was really like a dream.
At the beginning, they met by chance on the side of the road in Huizhou, one seeking fame and title, the other seeking immortal Dao and longevity. Later, they met again, one protecting the Dao with martial arts, the other protecting martial arts with the Dao, eliminating Many Yaoguai and demons to protect the people of one side. In the blink of an eye, the martial artist rode a horse and won the whole world, and the Daoist also attained the Dao.
Looking at the whole human world at this moment, there is no one higher than Lord Luo at this time. Even those four famous Daoist mountains and the four "True Lords" of the Fulu Sect need to be respectful in front of an emperor, let alone a founding emperor who won the world himself.
But there is no emperor in front of an immortal.
There is no immortal in front of an emperor.
There is only a martial artist, a Daoist, who have known each other for many years.
Coupled with the relaxed joy of old friends meeting, there is no military or political interest, nor any deliberate flattery. Even if the topic is boring, it becomes interesting. It is like drinking a cup of light tea for him who has just stepped through the sea of blood and killed out of the mountain of corpses, washing away the blood and hostility all over his body.
Lord Luo remembered that before dawn, the wine and food on the table had long been eaten and drunk, and the Daoist smiled and said that he would bring the thousand-day wine of Langtou Mountain for him next time, saying that it was a rare good wine in the world, and then said goodbye to him.
The two Daoists and the fox turned into a breeze and left one after another.
At that time, he was in a trance for a while, and then took a nap on the bed
for a while, and had a dream, dreaming that the martial artist took advantage of his youth and high spirits to go out alone to break into the world, riding a horse to Jiangnan.
The martial artist rode a horse and pointed to the distance and said:
"The mountain moves silently, the world is in chaos, and the country is dead."
Said:
"The mountain mover is not used by the monarch, the scholar is not prosperous, or the salary is gone, the public room rewards and punishments are not decided by the monarch, private doors form groups, not saved, should be changed."
Also said:
"My ancestors were originally a military family, but now they have declined. Because I feel that this is the time for the world's wind and clouds to meet, I left my hometown and entered the capital. I wanted to re-enter the military formation and use my martial arts to make a name for myself in the world, and between life and death, win a name for my Luo family again."
Young and high-spirited, ambitious.
How could he think of today at that time?
When he woke up, he still felt unreal.
Just dawn, the streets of the capital were very quiet.
Two people and one fox walked slowly along the street.
Looking around, they were all familiar scenery.
The morning was cold, and the footsteps were soft.
"I remember that at this time in the past, the capital had already started to have many
vegetable vendors entering the city. At the doors of these big families, there were also government servants waiting to purchase." Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei stretched out her hand and pointed to the two sides with the hilt of her sword, "Why are there so few people now?"
"After all, the war has just passed, and the world has just been settled." Lin Jue said, "I don't know how many years it will take to recover, but I hope Lord Luo will bring a more peaceful and prosperous age."
After saying this, he paused and turned to ask:
"Has Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei been successful in finding golden essence?"
"It's considered successful. I didn't go to the Many Yaoguai that the senior brother said might hide top-grade golden essence, to avoid fighting and snatching. I went to the big mountain that the sixth senior brother said often breeds top-grade golden essence, and looked for it in the mountain for several months, and finally found it."
"If there is anything you can't find or is troublesome, you must come to me."
"This doesn't need to be said."
During the conversation, the two had passed the government office of Juxian Mansion and came to a strange Daoist temple that had just been renovated.
"Eh?"
This was the location of the original Guanxing Palace.
However, the door of the Daoist temple had changed greatly. Two fierce stone tigers were placed, and the plaque on the door was written with the two characters "Zixiao Palace".
On both sides were written couplets:
The mountain rain is about to come, rest for a while, then face the Golden Palace;
The ridge clouds are just rising, look at the majestic ten thousand images, competing to hold the purple emptiness.
"Zixiao Palace." Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei looked up, "They used the original site of Guanxing Palace."
"No way, there are so many places in the capital, and they are already full. If you don't dismantle other places, there is only this piece of ruins. The courtyard wall planning is ready-made, and it is easy to build on it." Lin Jue also looked up at the door of this palace, "But their movements are fast."
"Yes."
"Does Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei still remember our first time going to the Great Ritual?"
"Of course I remember. Mingyanshan Yanxia Temple, their fasting food has no oil, but it is very comfortable to eat." Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei said, "We also roasted a rabbit at the door of their bamboo house."
"Does Good Fuyao still remember?"
The fox was serious, looking up at him fixedly.
"The Daoist here should have come from Yanxia Temple." Lin Jue said, "Let's go, let's go and see."
The main hall inside has not been repaired yet, and there is no one in the temple.
The two and one fox had to turn into a breeze and enter from the crack of the door. The Daoist enters the Daoist temple, looks at the gods he has seen, does not steal or rob, and is calm.
The layout inside is generally similar to Guanxing Palace.
However, most Daoist temples are like this—
Entering the door is the outer courtyard, with low houses on both sides, used as guest
halls, and staying in the incense cellar.
Naturally, this is the capital. Although the new dynasty has just been established, there is no lack of high officials and nobles. Without the old ones, there are new ones. The status of this Zixiao Temple in the future need not be said. There will be countless princes, generals, high officials, and nobles who want to seek purity in their busy schedule, and ordinary people cannot live in it.
In front is the largest palace, Lord Tianweng Hall.
But it was renamed Zi Emperor Hall.
"In ancient times, the main gods in the sky were called Qing Emperor, Yellow Emperor, Black Emperor, Red Emperor, White Emperor. Later they were called Lord Tianweng and Tianweng Shangdi. I heard that this Great Emperor has changed it back, still using the original title, using Zi Emperor as an abbreviation."
The door of the palace was not closed.
Lin Jue saw at a glance the statue of the Great Emperor wearing purple clothes and a crown.
The original Lord Tianweng was moved to the side.
It seems they changed positions.
There are two side halls on the left and right, both named Lord Yi Li Shenjun Hall.
The left divine hall is more familiar to Lin Jue. There is only one statue in the center, wearing black gold fine scale armor and five-colored divine clothes, about a foot high. It is Master Fuchi Lord Yi Li Shenjun.
Almost exactly the same as the one in Yanxia Temple at the beginning.
Four big characters are hanging on the top of the statue:
Do you recognize me?
The divine hall on the right is the two Shenjuns, Jufang and Changshe.
The status of Master Fuchi Lord Yi Li Shenjun can be imagined.
Lin Jue looked at that Lord Yi Li Shenjun, not knowing whether the Great Emperor Zi Xu had fulfilled his promise and let this Lord Yi Li Shenjun resign.
Just as he was thinking, a divine general statue in the divine hall on the right suddenly shone with essence, sweeping over Good Fuyao.
Immediately after, a flickering thunder sound rang in his ears:
"What Many Yaoguai? Dare to break into the Zi Emperor Palace!"
The two and one fox noticed at the same time and turned their heads to look.
Unexpectedly, this newly built palace, which had not yet gone through the incense of the mortal world, actually had spirit in the statue.
It is worthy of being a newly risen and powerful god, and it is worthy of being the newly built Zixiao Palace. The diligence of the gods is far beyond Guanxing Palace.
"General, don't be surprised." Lin Jue bowed, "I am a Daoist from Yishan, surnamed Lin, named Jue, attained the Dao in the capital. Because I have been to Yanxia Temple in the past and have seen Master Fuchi Lord Yi Li Shenjun's true face several times, I have also been to this Guanxing Palace during the previous dynasty. Passing by here today, I found that a new palace was built, so I came in to see. This is my Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei, and this is the spirit fox I raised since childhood. It has also seen Master Fuchi Lord Yi Li Shenjun."
In addition to expressing his identity and no intention of offending, he also meant that even Master Fuchi Lord Yi Li Shenjun had seen Good Fuyao and had not made things difficult for it.
Sure enough, the essence swept around the fox again, and the tone in the air gradually relaxed;
"True Lord Lin of the capital?"
"Exactly."
"Since you are an immortal and came with old acquaintances, you should have been entertained, but the palace has not been built yet, so please leave, immortal."
The essence in the statue's eyes slowly dimmed.
Lin Jue maintained etiquette and took back his gaze.
It seems that in addition to being more diligent than the previous Lord Tianweng divine system, they are indeed more sensitive to Many Yaoguai—even a palace that has not been built has gods guarding in the dark, and Good Fuyao has no Many Yaoguai energy, and has always been good at hiding breath and sound, but can still be detected by them. After detection, a divine general was immediately manifested.
Diligent guarding, keen perception, quick reaction.
But it hasn't reached the point of killing Many Yaoguai as soon as they see them.
At least for now.
Lin Jue thought of Lord Luo last night again.
Lord Luo himself has old ties with Zhenjian Palace, after all, they fought side by side, and he knows Daoist Daoist Qingxuan well enough. In Lin Jue's view, he is very likely to support Zhenjian Palace and use the southern gods to balance the northern gods.
It is even very likely that before last night, he had thought about balancing the influence of the Nine Heavens gods on the human court, so he let the upright Southern Heavenly Master be the Minister of Juxian Mansion, and invited a monk to be the Junior Minister of Juxian Mansion. You know, although Master Yun Chan has a benevolent heart and has known Lin Jue for a long time, his ability and merit are not outstanding among the experts around Lord Nan.
I don't know what kind of human world it will be in the future.
"Let's go, Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei came back just in time. At the end of this month, I will officially accept those two as disciples. This matter still needs Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei to witness on the side to show Junior Xiao Xiao Shimei's status as Junior Uncle."
"I want to give a gift!"
"I won't let you give it for nothing, there will be a meal of wine and meat." Lin Jue said, "I brought red rice from the terraced fields when I returned from Yunzhou. Besides being white with red, it is also loose to eat. I will pick a piece of good bacon on the market, buy some dried plum vegetables, and make a pot of dried rice."
"That's good..."
"Let me treat you to a bowl of hot tea on the side of the road first." Lin Jue said, "We haven't had tea or porridge at a roadside stall for a long time."
"That's great!"
The two and one fox turned into a breeze again and left the palace.
There is a small stall outside the city, selling morning tea.
Zhang Ziyun, Xu Yi, and Pumei, who had experienced the capital inn for a night, plus the two Daoists and a fox turned into a girl, sat in the small stall, listening to the passers-by vividly talking about yesterday's events. ===== CHAPTER 505 =====
