Volume 2: Lake of Winter Chapter 243: Moving Trees
Luo Kedi, the commander of the Xiling Temple's God Guard, was a very tall middle-aged man. When he put on his armor, he was like a movable metal fortress. (《》) However, when he knelt in front of the light curtain,
When kneeling in front of the huge figure, he was as humble as a dwarf or a thin servant.
Because he was the most loyal servant of the head of the Xiling Temple.
He is the guardian dog of Taoshan, the Xiling Temple.
"The temple needs strength, and it needs strength more than ever. Since the red fish is gone, you are responsible for bringing her back. If she no longer has strength, then for the sake of the dignity of the temple, I allow you to kill her
, and then you go and find some other power to come back.”
The head sect said calmly in the light.
Luo Kedi kowtowed and bowed, like a mountain of gold falling.
...
...
The great priest of Tianyu returned to his throne and returned to his throne. His old palm gently stroked the throne woven by the sun flower vines, and looked at the hundreds of deacons who were kneeling on the ground of the temple and
The official, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as cracks between the cliffs of Taoshan Mountain.
Cheng Lixue waved his hand and signaled the people who came to pay homage to the throne to disperse. Then he walked to the throne and whispered, "It happened after all."
The great priest of Tianyu said, "This is not the big thing I have calculated."
Cheng Lixue was shocked and speechless, thinking that Dao Chi betrayed Taoshan. If this is not a big deal, then what is the big deal that will happen to the Judgment Office in the calculation of the God's throne?
"That real big thing hasn't happened yet."
The great priest of Tianyu said exhaustedly: "All destiny in the world is destined by Haotian. The rotation of the life wheel mentioned by the Buddha Sect is actually the meaning of this. What should happen is destined to happen after all, but it will be later."
Perhaps it was because of fatigue, or perhaps because of the continuous meeting with the Grand Priest of the Judgment and the Master of the Head, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes of the Grand Priest of the Tianyu became deeper and deeper, and it was a bit terrifying.
Cheng Lixue looked at the wrinkles in the corners of the old man's eyes, and a lot of worry surged in his heart, but he did not dare to ask directly. He asked tentatively: "I don't know where Ye Hongyu is now."
The great priest of Tianyu smiled and said, "There is no need to be calculated for this kind of thing... Since that crazy man rarely retreated and left Xiling, he naturally went to Chang'an."
Cheng Lixue's expression was slightly different, and she didn't understand why the zodiac was so sure.
"The radiance of Haotian shines all over the world. Apart from Chang'an City, where can she let her swell?"
The great priest of Tianyu sighed, then smiled and said, "Fortunately, Chang'an is a good city, and you can see and learn some interesting things."
Cheng Lixue listened to the zodiac's evaluation of Chang'an City, suddenly thought of his experience at the side door of Chang'an Academy, and frowned slightly and said, "That is indeed a very interesting city. Ning Que fought with Liu Yiqing at the side door of the academy, and He Mingchi was even better than me.
You must first sense that Ning Que has cast a magic trick."
He Mingchi is the apprentice of Li Qingshan, a national teacher in the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, Ning Que was at the side door of the academy and slashed at Liu Yiqing with a knife. The magical work was made by the practitioners in the field. Only Cheng Lixue and He Mingchi responded.
Cheng Lixue broke through the wall of the carriage.
He Mingchi crushed the wheels of the carriage.
Cheng Lixue is the Grand Secretary of the Tianyu Secretariat of the Xiling Temple. It is not surprising that he can judge so quickly that Ning Que is using his magical skills. Why can He Mingchi do this?
Recalling the scene at that time, Cheng Lixue frowned and said, "I can confirm that He Mingchi's realm should be above me, and it is definitely not as weak as the rumors."
"For hundreds of years, the greatest wish of countless generations of sects is to invite Haotian South Gate back. In addition to the boring dignity and reputation, of course, it is also because the colleagues in the South Gate have their own extraordinary features.
Since Junior Brother Qingshan is the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, how could his successor be as unbearable as the rumored one?"
The great master of Tianyu said slowly: "Dao Chi's trip to Chang'an City is not sure what impact it will have on the relationship between the temple and the South Gate. It will be a future event after all."
Cheng Lixue thought about what happened in the temple that he had learned before, thought about the attitude of the head sect and the judging throne, and said slightly awkwardly: "I think Daoqi is afraid it will be difficult for him to go back to Taoshan again. (")"
The great priest of Tianyu shook his head and said, "She is going to come back after all."
Cheng Lixue was puzzled and said, "Why are you so sure?"
The great priest of Tianyu sighed and said, "If she doesn't go back to Taoshan, how will the big thing that is destined to happen in the Judgment Department?"
...
...
When Xiling entered summer, Chang'an City also entered summer immediately.
In the early summer, Chang'an City is not as hot as the heat, but the sun in the sky is already fierce, making people tired, and the bluestone slabs in the afternoon are beginning to get hot.
The renovation project on the banks of Yanming Lake is still continuing. In order to end the renovation project on the banks of the lake before midsummer arrives, the construction team has greatly accelerated the speed under the dual pressure of the silver coins and the Yulong Gang.
From morning to night, the sound of polishing and polishing constantly echoes in the mansion by the lake. Fortunately, the former residents had moved away long ago, otherwise the weather would get hotter and they would be tortured by the noise, so what kind of conflict would arise?
.
As time passed, the project entered the final stage. Ning Que took the formation diagram carefully drawn by Senior Sister Qi and began to penetrate into the construction.
After all, the money was spent in place. The reputation of the Fourth Master of Yulong Gang Qi was too high, so although the construction masters thought that Ning Qu's designs were unreasonable, they did not make much resistance.
The renovation of the lakeside house gradually took shape, and the formation of Senior Sister Qi gradually took shape, and then hid among the flying eaves and pink flowers and plants.
The project was not over, Ning Que and Sangsang still lived in Lao Bizhai. When they learned that they were moving away, the merchants in Linshiqi Lane breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
I think if this big man left, the men in the blue-clothed Yulong Gang would definitely not be voluntarily maintaining public order here, and the yamen runners of Chang'an Prefecture would definitely not come to wander around several times every day.
Ning Que didn't know what people were thinking. He was really too busy these days. He had to go to the back mountain of the academy to study, stare at the renovation project by the lake, and he also had to go to the palace frequently.
The goal of entering the palace was of course to enter the small wooden building, carrying the safety of the entire Chang'an City on its shoulders, and it also involved his plans, so he had to become familiar with the great formation of shocking gods as soon as possible.
Everyone in the world praised his talent on the Taoist talisman, and the talisman formation is a technique of communication. According to principles, he should be able to master the formation left to him by his master Yan Se very quickly. However, unfortunately, his talent is
It seems that there are too many scattering on the talisman and other trajectories, and not much is left for the formation.
However, Ning Que has never been a person who retreats when he knows the difficulties. Since he must understand and master this formation, these frustrations will not hit him at all. He took it out with diligence to make up for his shortcomings and cut the mountain of books with a knife.
As a common method, as long as you can take time out, you will go to the palace to study.
His Majesty the Emperor admired his attitude and allowed him to enter the palace at any time. When he walked out of the building exhausted, the Emperor would not let him go, but would arrest him into the imperial study.
He entered the palace more than ten times in a row. He became familiar with the leader of the Yulin Army in the palace, more familiar with the guards, familiar with the father-in-law and the palace maids, and even with the queen who grinds in the imperial study every day.
He is familiar with it, but he is still not very familiar with the formation of Chang'an City.
But this does not mean that he has not gained some benefits from it.
In addition to some benefits that cannot be spoken for people, the greatest benefit he gained is the countless ancient trees by Yanming Lake, and the things that were sent to the yard continuously.
The purchase documents and land deeds of Yanming Lakeside House are written on the name of Chao Xiaoshu, but such a big news can't be hidden from too many people.
Li Yu was the first person to know about this, so she gave Ning Que a gift that was definitely worthy of His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Tang Empire.
Nowadays, countless ancient trees newly transplanted by Yanming Lake were dug out from her own fiefdom. This is really a huge deal and even if you have money, you can't buy it.
His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress also knew that he was building a new home. The Empress picked out a lot of antique rewards from the warehouse in the palace, while His Majesty rewarded Ning Que with many ink treasures.
This is the only thing Ning Que is not satisfied with.
...
...
Time passed, Chang'an City went from early summer to midsummer, the cicadas were chirping in the academy, the heatstroke in the city gradually took off, the renovation project on the banks of Yanming Lake was officially completed, and more than ten houses that once divided the courtyards were opened and were fumigated by the lake air.
The soft old walls were freshly painted, and the narrow alley walking through the house was transformed into a stone path in the garden. The flowers and plants were blooming in full bloom, very quiet and beautiful.
The merchants in Lin47 Alley mustered up the courage to launch a fake antique shop, and led the lead, invited Ning Que and his servant to have a farewell banquet, and the two ended in Lin47.
The years in the alley.
That night, Ning Que and Sangsang moved to their house by Yanming Lake.
All the furniture and things have been bought by the brothers in the Yulong Gang. How to fill the dozen large yards without giving Sangsang a headache?
At the strong request of Master Qi Si, Ning Que kept Lao Bizhai. Anyway, Chao Xiaoshu had already waived his rent for many years, but Lao Bizhai would never sell books again.
I think when the spring rain falls next year, there will be no unsuccessful young calligraphers in the shop called Lao Bizhai, and there will be no more middle-aged people holding umbrellas outside the threshold.
Accompanied by cicadas and unknown insects, Ning Que and Sangsang stroll along the stone path by Yanming Lake, and the beautiful houses behind them are their new home.
Countless ancient trees by the lake make the stone paths and houses extremely quiet. The temperature seems to be much lower when the lake wind passes through it. Compared with the sultry heat in the alleys of Chang'an, it is a completely different world.
Sangsang thought about the scene where Ning Que was lying on a bamboo chair outside the back door in midsummer two years ago, constantly soaking his body with well water and chatting with the neighbors, and he couldn't help but feel like he was a different world.
"I never thought we could live in such a big house."
When they lived in caves, tree houses, and small courtyards in Weicheng, they had imagined countless times what kind of mansion they would live in when they had money. Now they were strolling in their own mansion by the lake, and they knew that
It turns out that the imagination back then was so shabby.
"It's good, isn't it?"
Ning Que asked.
Sangsang nodded and said, "It's better than being very good."
