On the way back to the small town, Yu Mei led her team and happened to meet a dozen Kongxuan Cult members who had entered the mountain. They all had solemn and pious expressions. After going up to inquire about it, they found out that they were on a pilgrimage to the nearby sacred mountain.
As a worshiper of the bishop's statue, her curiosity sprouted instantly, and she followed the parishioners for more than a few feet, hoping to go with them to find out what was going on, and perhaps find some clues...
After turning a mountain pass, there is a flat and quiet weir, surrounded by curls of incense smoke, rising peaks on both sides, steep cliffs, rugged rocks, green pines and cypresses, lush greenery, and the sound of deer chirping echoing in the mountains.
…
Halfway up the mountain front on the left side of the weir, there is a huge stone with a slightly flat surface protruding out. It looks like a stone flying from the sky. It is very eye-catching. On it are engraved four powerful characters "Stretching from the ground to the sky".
Go forward for more than ten meters and pass through the mountain gate, which is the 3,650 steps of the "ladder to heaven" leading to the bishop's statue on the top of the mountain. The steep steps are ingenious and were built according to the situation of the mountain. They are like a soaring alien path.
Dragon, straight into the mist-shrouded fairyland of clouds and nights. The mountain gate is also magnificent and a grand sight.
The churchgoers who were climbing the mountain were walking in a file, muttering something to each other in a low voice... Although the steps were steep and dangerous, these ordinary mountaineering churchgoers were as relaxed as walking on flat ground.
Seeing this, Yu Mei was very surprised, so she kept silent. Lianbu Shengfeng followed closely behind her. She had just stepped onto the third step, when she suddenly felt that her feet seemed to be sucked on the stone steps by some unknown force, and her steps were unusually heavy.
, it was already very difficult to lift my feet. I looked up and looked at the group of disciples. It seemed that with the help of divine power, they had easily climbed more than a hundred steps. I couldn't help being shocked, and secretly suspected, "This step must have been cast by an expert using a spell."
A spell was cast."
Just as she was thinking about what to do, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Your Excellency, envoy, wait a minute, His Majesty Junyao has invited you!"
Hearing this, Yumei knew it was the tall and handsome guard of Kongxuan Cult, she slowly turned around and walked down...
"Brother, you have worked hard all the way. May I ask your surname?"
Yu Mei stood up and frowned slightly, with a sullen look on her face, and she asked unexpectedly.
The man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a red face: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I'm being rude. My Christian name is Wu Kong, please bear with me!"
"Oh, Wu Kong, could you please lead us to appreciate the rare treasure of your sect's sacred mountain, Lingyan Dongyu." Yu Mei raised her arms and cupped her hands, staring at Wu Kong and chasing after him.
"Your Excellency, only the leaders of the various dioceses of Kongxuan Sect can climb the mountain to worship the bishop's statue. The mountain is quiet and the dust is clear. If you practice spirituality, everything and I will be empty."
Wu Kong cupped his fists in return, with piety on his face, and continued in a loud voice, "The three thousand six hundred and fifty steps represent the will of the Lord God and the level of cultivation. They are full of mysterious mysteries. Not everyone can climb to the top, of course.
Including me."
After listening to Wu Kong's words, Yao Mei turned her eyes to look in the direction of the church members who were climbing the Holy Mountain. Their backs had turned into misty black spots and were blurred.
"These cultivators who climbed to the top of the Holy Mountain are of high rank within the cult, right? I guess they are all lizard people from the dark world in the center of the earth, right?"
Facing Yao Mei's question, Wu Kong smiled noncommittally, turned around and took a few steps to hold the horse's reins, "Your Majesty Junyao must be impatient! Let's leave quickly."
…
Yumei stepped lightly into the gate of the small town palace alone. The surroundings were very quiet, and there was no sound. The palace hall was located among the trees, and the glazed tile roofs were exposed, shining dazzlingly in the sun.
What is the relationship between Jun Yao and the Kongxuan Sect? It has been bothering Yu Mei for a long time. She has tried to analyze and solve the mystery carefully and objectively many times, but to no avail - with Jun Yao's current strength, there is no need to go to great lengths.
Forced establishment of popular religion with the help of Kongxuan Sect
District, he built his ruling order with the belief of "unity of gods and kings", so why is he so keen on Kongxuanjiao, and wants to regard Kongxuanjiao as the state religion and participate in the management of state affairs? It is completely his personal belief
? Things don't seem to be that simple.
Yao Mei thought in her mind and walked into the central hall of the palace. The hall was magnificent and decorated with a circle of flowers. Junyao was sitting alone on the gold-lacquered dragon throne in the hall, holding his chin with one hand and frowning, lost in thought.
…
"Ka... Ka"
Yao Mei stopped, looked at Junyao and coughed twice.
When Junyao heard the sound, he suddenly raised his head and met Yumei's eyes. He quickly stood up and walked a few steps to meet her. He said: "Your Excellency, the messenger, I heard from the guards that the warriors of the demon world may encounter ghosts in the small town and mountainous area."
The conspiracy by Jie Keyue and others makes me very angry and puzzled. If you have any request on this matter, Junyao will do his best to help."
"Your Majesty Junyao, the current situation is still unclear, and I am not in the position to make any arbitrary judgments. However, I, Yumei, am a person who must avenge my vengeance, no matter the cost."
In the last sentence, Yu Mei emphasized her tone and spoke loudly.
Jun Yao did not answer, but looked at Yu Mei quietly, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are when he calls?"
"Well, I'm anxious to find you because I want to discuss something with you?"
The tone of Jun Yao and Yao Mei's speech was always like that of a neighbor's brother, without the domineering and arrogance of royal dignitaries.
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly!"
"I have sent a message from the capital of the Imperial City that there are urgent state affairs to deal with. I will set off in the early afternoon and would like to invite the envoy to go with me. What are your intentions?"
Yu Mei lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but Yu Mei's trip to Kunlun Ruins is also burdened with heavy responsibilities, which is related to the survival of the demon world!"
Jun Yao seemed to have expected Yao Mei's polite refusal. He just smiled and said, "Then we will meet again later!"
"Okay, see you later!"
Yao Mei also smiled back, cupped her fists and saluted and said loudly.
…
The plain-clothed guard Wu Kong rode a white BMW horse at the front, with a white gold pennant behind him. On the flag was a golden dragon that was about to come out. The pennant fluttered in the wind and whistled for more than ten people.
Two white plain-clothed warriors from the Kongxuan Sect with solemn expressions lined up in two rows, following closely behind them in high spirits.
Yuan Yun, a villager in a small town on the road, saw the flag weaving of people and horses, and immediately stepped to the side of the road and stood there, lowering his hands and lowering his head.
"Master Qingxu Dharma" led the black-clad warriors in the second echelon. All the black-clad warriors were disheveled and baggy. They were in sharp contrast with the plain white-clad guards in the front team, which caused the small town priests to point at them.
Point covered his face and snickered.
After walking out of the town for more than ten miles, I occasionally saw a few pedestrians on the road. Wu Kong turned his horse and galloped to Yu Mei's horse, "I'll see you again after a thousand miles, so let's see each other again later!"
“See you later!”
Wu Kong carefully put away the pennant behind his back, and led the guards of the Kongxuan Cult to turn around and gallop away with their whips raised. Looking at their retreating figures, Yu Mei once again fell into contemplation of the mystery of Jun Yao... But she changed from this
The unsmiling man knew the name of the town: Zhuanlongyin.
…
There were very few pedestrians on the road, and the two Dongtu Taoist priests walking together attracted even more attention. The elder was dressed in a blue-grey Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun on his head. He had childlike hair and a fairy-like Taoist bones, holding floating dust in his hand; the young Taoist wore a pair of Taoist monks' shoes.
He wears dark blue thick cloth shoes with an upturned toe, wears a Taoist temple on his head, carries a sword on his back, his face is full of red light, and there are a pair of sword-eyebrow trees on both sides.
Yan Mei raised her eyes and met the elder's deep eyes. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, but did not say anything... They passed each other and just took a few steps when they suddenly heard the old man's loud voice singing: "Imperial City"
In the hall, the universe is viewed, two dragons play with pearls to reveal mysteries, the transformed golden dragon meets Tai Chi, and the treasure lord ascends the throne and sits on the Zen platform."
When Yu Mei heard this, she was shocked and suddenly reined in the horse's head.
