Chapter 20: The Empress of Hidden Light and Clouds
After Zhong Tingzhi returned to his Taoist palace, he came to the big jade wall and shot a ray of light with a snap of his fingers. When Chong Tingzhi's figure was revealed, he said: "Zhu Tingzhi should be there.
The problem is, he will withdraw from the next court meeting and will not cause any hindrance to us."
If the court officials do not appear at a certain court meeting, then they think that they have given up the right to make decisions at this time. Those court officials who have never come before have this attitude.
Chong Ting said: "I heard that Chao Huan went to see Na Feng and Gao Na recently."
Zhong Daoren was not surprised at all, he smiled and said: "As expected, Hun Xiu also wants to win over them. The matter of deposed Xuan has nothing to do with them, and they don't need to stop it. It's just that they ate a big meal last time."
Unfortunately, I probably don’t want to see us succeed in this matter this time.”
Chong Tingzhi said: "How is Zhong Tingzhi treating you?"
Zhong Daoren said: "Leave this matter to me. I will appease this person. Now that the law is in place to restrain this person, this person is no longer a threat. How can I convince the chief? Brother Chongdao, you guys are more important here."
It took a lot of effort.”
Chong Ting was holding a jigsaw, and his figure all over the place turned into a cloud of clear mist and disappeared.
In Tanquanzhou, in a luxurious high platform, a middle-aged monk was looking at the list in his hand. After reading it, he glanced at Anli standing below, "Is this what your nephew wants?"
An Li said respectfully: "Yes."
The middle-aged monk pointed at the list and said, "You are the master craftsman, what do you think he is going to do?"
An Li replied: "My nephew has a lively mind and has too many fantastic ideas. Sometimes I don't know what he is thinking. I really can't guess it just from these creation tools." After thinking about it, he added
He said, "Even my father and brother can't see it."
The middle-aged monk hummed and said, "I will go and seek confirmation." He put the list in his sleeve and said, "Master An."
An Li unconsciously showed a look of attentive listening.
The middle-aged monk said: "Just stay with your nephew. If it is convenient, report his movements to us every day."
An Li hurriedly said: "It's convenient. Everything we eat and drink in the manor every day is very light and not oily at all. I can't get used to it. I go out to look for food every day, and I happened to report here at that time."
"
The middle-aged monk was quite satisfied with his attitude and said: "Mr. An, please go back early. Don't let the people in the manor doubt you. Your choice is right. When the situation becomes clear, I will respond to the above and ask for help."
You seek an important position."
An Li was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Master."
After he said goodbye to this luxurious high-rise building, he returned to the house. He just stepped into his original residence. When he looked up, he saw his nephew waiting there and said, "Why are you here?"
An Zhizhi jumped down from his seat, stared at him and said, "Uncle, did you go out just now?"
An Li smiled and walked forward and said: "I gave them the list. Boy, I can only help you here. But aren't the things you show them what you want? That's fine.
It’s exactly right, so there won’t be any problems, right?”
An Zhizhi curled his lips and said: "They are not stupid. They will know the origin of the things I bought as soon as they find out. But if they can figure out what I want to do, then I lose."
An Li said: "You just have to take care of yourself. Just remember, don't go out by yourself. If there is any uncle, I will take care of it for you."
An Zhizhi said: "Uncle, every time you go out, remember to drink the medicinal soup."
An Li said angrily: "I know, kid, your uncle is twenty years older than you. He is doing a stable job and doesn't need you to take care of him."
He thought of the taste of the medicine and couldn't help but shake his head. That stuff was really bitter and astringent, but there was nothing he could do. It was said that only by drinking the medicine would his true thoughts be protected from being seen through by those cultivators.
After taking care of him, he put away his things and prepared to take a bath. When he walked outside, he looked at the majestic main hall, but suddenly he remembered the conversation in the clan before sending An Xiaolang out.
Everyone in the clan believed that the mysterious method was no longer effective and that creation was about to flourish. How could a young genius like An Xiaolang get close to a mysterious cultivator at this time? Therefore, they did not agree to let him come out.
But his father An Song scolded this generation for being short-sighted, and thought that even if Xuanfa was no longer good, what does it have to do with upper-level cultivators like Xunzhu? If even people like Xunzhu couldn't keep their status, then the whole world would be in trouble.
I'm afraid the lower level in Xia Zhong will collapse, and Xuanting will definitely not allow it, so this is the perfect time to lean on it.
He had always admired his father's vision. Although he was not good at dealing with people, he could always see far. This time, he felt that maybe his father might be right again.
At this moment, in the Military Affairs Office above Kuisu Dixing, Hong Yuanqiu also received a report from Xuanting, asking him to announce the news while holding the screen steady.
However, most of Kuisu's combat power is armored men, and with the recent promotion of creation uniforms and medicinal oils, the outer role of cultivators, especially Xuanxiu, has been invisibly reduced.
On the other hand, since most true cultivators are good at setting up forbidden formations and observing Qi, and do not participate in military operations, they are not affected at all.
He thought for a while, summoned the counselors and civil servants, and said: "Xuan Ting has issued an order. The method established by Zhang Xuanzun is the correct method. In the past, the Xuan method has already gained its reputation. Please pass on the news later."
However, the counselor and clerk reminded: "Director, the rest of the Xuanxiu are fine, but those disciples of Yu Xuanzun are still outside Tanquanzhou. If they find out about this matter, will they..."
Hong Yuanqiu thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, you reminded me."
Although he didn't think there would be any trouble, he had to be on guard against such things. After all, they were hundreds of Xuan cultivators, and they were all from the same sect. If anything happened, he would bear the heavy responsibility.
He said: "Take my order and mobilize three thousand regular troops to guard them first. I will go to Xuan Zun to ask for a talisman, which should be able to stabilize them."
The civil servant bowed and said, "Yes, I obey."
At this moment, where Yu Xuanzun's disciples were stationed, Bian Lan was looking at a newspaper in his hand, his fingers trembling slightly. And some of the brothers around him also had expressions of unacceptable expression.
"Fellow Taoists can confirm the authenticity of this news at any time. I will never dare to deceive you on such matters."
The Taoist who spoke held a whisk in his hand, with a long beard flowing across his chest, and looked at the Xianfeng Taoist Bones. He said: "Everyone, Xuan Ting took away the reputation of the past Xuan Dharma, which may not have much hindrance to other Xuan cultivators. After all, Zhang Xuanzun
A way has been opened up. But where are you?"
He said meaningfully: "You are all disciples of Yu Xuanzun. Don't say that you can't throw away your master's methods easily. If you give up, Zhang Xuanzun may not accept you."
When all the disciples present heard this, their hearts sank.
They used to worship Yu Xuanzun, thinking they could reach heaven in one step, but now they are told that the Dharma they practice is not the right Dharma.
Now that they have been labeled as Yu Xuanzun, and their teacher was imprisoned by Xuan Ting and it was Zhang Xuanzun who blazed the trail, then where do they have a way out in the future?
Bian Lan looked at the Taoist and said, "Fellow Taoist said these words, do you think you have anything to teach us?"
The Taoist smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I can show you a clear path. Since you can't stay here any longer, why not go somewhere else?"
Bian Lan took a deep look at him and said, "Oh? Where else is it?"
The Taoist smiled and pointed out his hand, saying: "Shangchentian can be used as a place of use."
Bian Lan's eyes became sharp and he said: "Are you a person who went to Chentian?"
But the Taoist didn't panic at all, and said: "So what if I go to Chentian? The monks there can be considered to be of the same origin as you when it comes to their origins. But you have taken refuge in me, Shangchentian, and are free and happy without being bound by rules.
You can do whatever you want, but here, you have to be bound by the rules of mortals, how uncomfortable is it?"
At this time, a disciple suddenly walked into the hall, cupped his hands and said: "Senior brother, there are dozens of military personnel flying fighting flying boats heading towards us."
The Taoist smiled and said: "Look, even if you are willing to bend down and submit, they may not be willing to believe you. You are Taoists." He shook his head, "I feel that you are not worth it."
Bian Lan said coldly: "It is not a good way to go to heaven. The monks above treat the monks below like slaves. They abuse the subordinates and bully the superiors as if they are nothing. The lower monks have no dignity at all."
The Taoist smiled and said: "That's because I haven't found the right person. Besides, you are all members of Xuan Zun's sect. If I treat you harshly, who else will come to join me in the future?"
These words made some people feel slightly moved, but no one here responded. After all, each of them had grown up in Tianxia since childhood. If they were not really desperate, no one would want to seek refuge.
foreign enemy.
Besides, they are Yu Xuanzun's disciples. If they go to surrender to Chen Tian, wouldn't they be harming their teacher?
And in the midst of this silence, suddenly a strange snake with six legs, four wings, and a double head and a compound tail flew in from outside the palace. It spread its wings, and with a bang, a red light spread around it!
For a moment, Bian Lan and the others' breaths and souls were shaken, and they could not control themselves. However, the Taoist showed a look of fear. He realized something was wrong and was eager to escape, but as soon as he turned around, his body was like weathered sand and stone.
It usually peels off, then collapses and disintegrates, turning into gray and white powder.
As the red light dimmed, the strange snake also disappeared. Only then did everyone come back to their senses, only to see Liang Yi standing in the main hall.
Bian Lan couldn't help but say: "Senior brother!"
Liang Yi looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Bian, you are confused." He pointed at the ash dust, "A person like this should be killed as soon as his identity is revealed, and you should not say a word to him.
Talk too much."
Bian Lan was shocked and remembered the seriousness of the matter. He bowed and admitted his mistake frankly: "Yes, it was my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment. I will plead guilty to the military department later. This is all my fault."
"
He thought for a while, raised his head again, and tried to ask: "Senior brother, your merit is higher than you thought, is it..."
The red light shined just now, but no one was hurt at all. This level of exquisite control of magic power was definitely not something Liang Yi could achieve before.
Liang Yi shook his head and said: "There is still a little bit missing. I can feel it. There is still a little bit missing. But it feels very close. But as I told you, the way forward is open. Zhang Xuanzun has already opened up the upper realm of Xuanfa.
, this is something that the teacher has never done before, and anyone who is predestined can follow this to get a glimpse of the higher state!"
He looked at everyone and said: "Zhang Xuanzun is a person recognized by Xuan Ting as the founder of the righteous Dharma. We respect him and place him in the same place as the teacher."
The disciples were startled at first, and then they all spoke in agreement.
Bian Lan thought about it and immediately understood the key, and said: "Senior Brother is saying, I'm afraid it won't be long before all the Xuanxiu cultivators in the world will enshrine Zhang Xuanzun's honorary title. Let's take the first step to let Zhang Xuanzun know."
