Mirage City, the capital city of the Daquan Dynasty, in the early morning, after the rain, the willows cling to the sky, the clear scene is in the New Year, the green and yellow are only half even, the poets describe this scene, the people can't describe it in words, but they can see it clearly, three
A carriage slowly stopped in a street in the west of the capital. A group of men and women got out of the carriage. Next to it was a lotus pond with quiet water. A slender woman in brocade did not rush to her destination, but walked towards the waterside. She stretched out her arms
With her hands as white as jade, she held onto the slightly cool bluestone railing. After the rain passed through the jasper sky, the leaves floated on the water.
This woman is more moving than the beautiful scenery.
She bent her fingers, wiped her palms, twisted her wrists at will, and turned to look around. They did not disturb her enjoyment of the scenery, they just stood at the entrance of the street and waited patiently. Among them was a man with an empty sleeve hanging straight down.
, stood next to a woman with a sword who seemed to have a gentle temperament. She smiled knowingly, feeling embarrassed that she had to lead them back then. The men and women of the Yao family are no longer young now. The only one who has no whereabouts is
This Lord Yin of the Capital City, just because he saved his life on the battlefield, ended up lame and missing an arm. He has been suspected of breaking the pot in recent years. Of course, his younger brother does have high vision, and some people
Naturally, he would look down upon a powerful woman who followed his trend and came to her for his status and title.
This group of people is Yao Jinzhi, the empress of Daquan. Yao Xianzhi, the governor of the capital, and the female cultivator standing next to him, Liu Yi, whose nickname is Yuanyang and whose Taoist name is "Yifu". Liu Yi is now a third-class worshiper of Daquan Dynasty.
Not long ago, the imperial court issued a transfer order and transferred her to the Yin Yamen Office of Mirage Mansion to serve as Yao Xianzhi's personal attendant. Of course, this was His Majesty's request to serve the public good for personal gain, but Liu Yi did not refuse.
The new national preceptor Han Guanghu is from Jinjiazhou. The chief royal family worships Liu Zong and comes from Ouhua Blessed Land. The young man is Jianming, his Taoist name is Yue Renge, he was born in Baopingzhou, and he carries a magic sword "Mingquan" under his arm.
There is also a woman with crow's feet that can no longer be concealed at the corners of her eyes. Yao Lingzhi, the sister of Empress Daquan and the sister of the governor of the capital, has completely given up her mind since she lost her "famous spring" and no longer follows various people.
Jianghu people deal with green forest high rollers.
Yao Jinzhi was going to a small Taoist temple to see a former prince who should have called her sister-in-law, Liu Mao, who is now Taoist Longzhou on the gold and jade genealogy of the Ministry of Rites.
The small Taoist temple is called Huanghua Temple and is located in the westernmost part of Mirage City.
Yao Jinzhi walked toward the entrance of the street, raised his hands, and took a breath of mist. Yao Lingzhi glanced at his younger brother, signaling him to stop being so stupid and to hurry up and lead the way for His Majesty.
The Daquan Dynasty has always respected Taoism, and there are many Taoist temples in the capital. Huanghua Temple is a small Taoist temple with a long history.
Not long after the founding of Daquan, Emperor Taizong built a Taoist temple to pray for blessings and enshrine the Sanguan Emperor, who was revered in the Taoist genealogy.
A slightly larger carriage would have difficulty passing through those winding and narrow alleys.
Yao Lingzhi accompanied His Majesty the Emperor as he walked in the dimly lit alleys, and said softly: "Your Majesty, someone from the Supervisor of Rites and the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites has informed Huanghuaguan that Liu Mao is ready to pick him up today, but originally he was asked to
It's time, we are one hour ahead of schedule now, I don't know where Liu Mao is..."
Yao Jinzhi smiled and said: "Over at Huanghua Temple, there are only three people in total including the temple owner and the resident Taoist priest. How can he, Liu Mao, pick him up? It's all casual."
In fact, Liu Mao, the master of the Taoist temple named "Longzhou", was waiting at the door early in the morning. He put on a clean Taoist robe, held a fly whisk, folded his hands on his abdomen, closed his eyes and rested.
There were two other children who reluctantly accompanied the master. They got up early, rubbed their eyes, yawned, and were in a daze. The master didn't say who he wanted to greet. They had been waiting for half an hour.
, it’s really tiring.
Not long ago, Liu Mao said that he was preparing to form an elixir and hoped that the imperial court could help arrange a dojo.
On the gate of the Taoist temple, there are two majestic painted figures of spiritual officials, which are as tall as anyone else.
Under the "recommendation" of Mr. Zeng, the person who borrowed the knife, Han Guanghu, who served as Daquan's Imperial Master in the spring of this year, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Mao's Taoist qualifications are not bad. He is in his forties.
Opportunity to form elixirs."
As long as you don't compare yourself with those unreasonable young monks, if the third prince of Daquan's former dynasty can really form a golden elixir at the age of forty, he can be called a "genius".
Now it depends on His Majesty’s thoughts, whether he intends to let Taoist Longzhou leap to the Dragon Gate, or whether he intends to keep the Third Prince Liu Mao in the Dragon Gate realm for the rest of his life.
Maybe this answer needs to wait until His Majesty meets the "brother-in-law" from the past, or maybe His Majesty has already made up his mind and "stopping" at Huanghua Temple today is just a formality.
It is said that at Huanghuaguan, Liu Mao would take the initiative to send the Qingci Green Seal, handwritten letters from the three officials and festival talismans to the palace every year. His Majesty would also give them to some veteran civil and military ministers who were still serving in the court. In fact,
The meaning is very simple, that is, Liu Mao takes this opportunity to help His Majesty the Emperor prove something. Liu Mao, the son of the late Emperor Liu of Daquan, is still alive and well. Your Majesty is so kind to you. Liu Mao is so grateful that he devotes himself to cultivating Taoism and is willing to serve Yao.
The new dynasty tried its best.
Unknowingly, while walking, Yao Lingzhi changed places with the Korean master. She, her master Liu Zong, and the young man Jian Ming walked at the end of the alley.
Yao Xianzhi, who was walking in front, limped, slowed down, turned around and said with a smile: "National Master, this Liu Mao is not an easy man. He has been in a deep city since he was a child. He is good at calculations and winning people's hearts. If he hadn't run away
Now that I have become a Taoist priest, it is not my turn to be the governor of the capital. Liu Mao should take care of my sister's affairs. This guy's talents are indeed good. Let's talk about the "Yuan Dynasty" compiled by the former dynasty.
In the twelfth year of the Zhen Dynasty, "Da Bo Kuo Di Zhi", a large work with more than 400 volumes, in fact, the chief executive responsible for the outline and control was actually Liu Mao."
"I have been keeping an eye on him in the past few years. He is quite honest. Moreover, Liu Mao is also a master of arithmetic. There are many arithmetic books on the bookshelf. I read them all. However, I think Liu Mao may have cultivated his mind and character over the years.
At first, I had some ideas, but now I am not just pretending, I am really planning to practice Taoism with peace of mind. Last time I came here, she even said some heartfelt words to me. Of course, the words were a bit unpleasant. Liu Mao has been growing up since he was a child anyway.
He likes to talk to people he despises from the bottom of his heart, and deliberately talks sarcastically."
Yao Lingzhi carefully glanced at His Majesty the Emperor's face, but couldn't see anything. He quickened his pace, reached out and pinched his brother's ribs, reminding him not to speak nonsense about Liu Mao.
Yao Xianzhi hesitated for a moment, but still did not say what he really meant. Mr. Chen said that Liu Mao was really frustrated. As long as it was operated properly, maybe the Daquan Dynasty could have one more person in the next hundred years.
Enshrining the Nascent Soul that helps to sustain the national destiny. It is precisely because Mr. Chen has this judgment that Yao Xianzhi dares to say this today. Otherwise, after being the governor for so long, would he really think that he is just a loser?
Yao Jinzhi smiled and said nothing.
Yao Xianzhi said softly: "We're here."
Turning into the corner of an alley, on the side of Huanghua Temple, Liu Mao gathered his thoughts, held a whisk in his hand, and walked to the center of the alley. When His Majesty the Emperor and his entourage approached, Liu Mao said to the Taoist priest, "Abbott of Huanghua Temple, Liu Mao Mao, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."
After Liu Mao stood up, he performed the first salute again and said, "Liu Mao has met the Imperial Preceptor, Mr. Fu Yin."
Yao Jinzhi smiled and said: "No need to be polite. Liu Mao, it seems we haven't seen each other for many years?"
Compared with the ambitious, arrogant and rude eldest prince, Yao Jinzhi actually did not have much personal grudge against Liu Mao.
The two little Taoist boys in the Taoist temple were dumbfounded on the spot, their minds were filled with confusion, and they had forgotten all the etiquette. Moreover, what etiquette they knew was not taught by their master.
Fortunately, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor was not angry either. Instead, Yao Xianzhi stretched out his hand to hold down the little Taoist boy's head and teased: "Why are you so skinny? Where is your usual arrogance?"
Liu Mao's expression became more and more respectful. He no longer bowed his head as a Taoist disciple, but bowed and saluted as a minister, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it has been more than ten years since we last parted, which is as fast as a flick of the finger."

Han Guanghu looked at the visitor. As a remnant of the previous dynasty, there was indeed a reason why Liu Mao could live under his Majesty's eyes to this day.
After entering the Taoist temple, Yao Lingzhi temporarily proposed to go to the main hall of the Taoist temple to worship. What everyone could see were the dining hall and the sleeping hall. Because it was built by the royal family, although the Taoist temple is small, its standards are not low. The dining hall is deep, broad and solemn. The light is slightly dim, and the Nuan Pavilion is only three feet away from the hall. The two are covered by a yellow dragon curtain. There is a luxurious lichen and two antique chairs. The mattress is covered with dragon yellow brocade and the front is woven with peacock feathers. The dragon is just a god. The sacrifices on the other side of the stage were simple, with only three pieces of meat and a few grains of millet in the gui, and the ritual utensils were simple, mostly made of vermilion wood.
Liu Mao immediately took an incense stick, and when His Majesty the Emperor rolled out three sticks of incense, everyone exited the hall with gentle steps.
After offering incense, His Majesty the Emperor did not leave the hall immediately. Instead, he pushed aside the yellow curtain and went to the Nuan Pavilion for a while.
In fact, Liu Mao's lineage, in the royal genealogy of the Daquan Liu family in the previous dynasty, was not a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, but a descendant of Emperor Taizong.
Therefore, it cannot be said that Yao Jinzhi had no intention of placing Liu Mao in this Taoist temple built by Emperor Taizong.
Yao Jinzhi stepped out of the threshold and instead of going to the more spacious living room, he went to Liu Mao's study to sit there. There were many people in the room, and the room was small. Especially in the study, there were only two chairs, and it looked like brand new carpentry.
Liu Mao remained expressionless.
Before practicing Taoism, I was a prince, and the hall was full of splendor, and there were people drinking and drinking. The red candles made by the emperor were as thick as arms, and the night was as white as day. Even the host thought it was not lively enough.
After practicing Taoism, when the two of them were together, they felt noisy.
Han Guanghu's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a crudely framed small print on the wall of the study room, which was copied from the Taoist classic "Huang Ting Jing". How to read it at first glance
, completed in one go, completely natural. But if you look closely, there are two kinds of handwriting. The last sixteen characters are "separate paths and disperse the body, transform into shapes at will, complement the real person, and the heaven and the earth are born together."
The old man clasped his hands behind his back, looked at it carefully for a while, and commented in a low voice: "The ones who come last will come first."
Yao Xian was so happy that he moved a chair and planned to invite His Majesty to sit down. Yao Jinzhi asked him to sit down instead. Master Fuyin was not polite. After sitting down, he lightly clenched his fists and beat his legs. When it rains or snows, this old leg will
He rebelled. After years of recuperation, he has actually gotten better. A few years ago, when he first became Naguo's uncle, it was called suffering. When Mr. Chen gave him two pills carefully refined from Qinghu Palace in Qingjing Mountain,
After Yao Xianzhi took one pill of Yuhua Pill, the effect was very good and the effect was immediate. Mr. Chen even joked at that time that the young man had strong firepower and his butt could make pancakes.
His Majesty the Emperor's eyes wandered around casually. The two chicken-tip pens in the pen holder must be Liu Mao's special brushes for copying scriptures.
In fact, Yao Jinzhi knew everything about this Huanghua Temple, especially every pen and book in this study, and even where they were placed.
For example, the two chicken-backed pens in the pen holder with the inscription "Quiet, Bright and Pure" were actually left to Liu on purpose along with the "Celestial Phenomena and Star Map" which was a banned book during the previous "property raid".
lush.
She kindly advised the young viewer of Huanghua Temple that if you are in a "quiet" place, you must have a "clear" heart that matches it.
After practicing Taoism, if you have nothing to do, you can also read books such as "Celestial Phenomenon and Star Chart".
Since you are a cultivator, you should look up at the sky more often and stop focusing on earthly things.
As for whether Liu Mao could understand it, Yao Jinzhi didn't care at all. Anyway, if Taoist Longzhou in Huanghuaguan did something wrong, he would get the consequences.
Is it possible that she, the Emperor, who had already spared his life, should be so generous and kind to him again and again?
To be continued...
