At this moment in the west city, there was a white light flying from outside the sky. After a while, a figure appeared at the gate of the city. The person who came was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, with a fairy-like bone, but it was Shen Yue in the previous article. The Taoist I met was Jing Mingzi.

I saw the Taoist put away the sword light and looked at the rather deserted west gate, while the east gate was shining with golden light, which was very majestic.Shaking his head secretly, he took a step towards the city.

Jing Mingzi looked around at the houses, except for a few shops that were still open, the city felt quite empty, and those shops seemed eager to try, and looked at the east gate from time to time.

Jing Mingzi didn't delay either. Seeing such a scene, he knew that the situation in the city was not easy to deal with, and he didn't know how much pressure the senior brother who was still in the palace and the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain were under.

This time, he received a letter from Beijing, which was written by Jing Zi, saying that today there is the Baiyun Sect of Chu, who will bring the bones of the real Buddha, and enter Beijing from the south. This time, Yangzi summoned him to convey his plan to discuss with the contemporary celestial masters.

When he stepped into the palace, he knew it would be troublesome, but in the end he handed over the ultimatum badge before entering the palace in order to avoid getting caught by his senior brother.

Jingyangzi lives in the Shangchan Hall in the palace, which is only a mile away from the emperor's residence. It has always been the residence of the celestial masters in the court, but now that Longhushan has lost power, he has to live in it again.When he arrived at the gate of the hall, there were two little Taoist boys from Lingxu Palace standing in front of the gate. Seeing Jing Zi approaching, they hurried up to give him a check.

Jing Mingzi waved the two of them back and walked into the hall.The main hall was deserted, and there were no decorations. Two rows of candles were lit on the left and right. There was a gum bed in front of it. Incense, exuding a cool breath.

"Elder Jing Mingzi of Lingxu Palace, pay homage to the senior brother of the sect master." Jing Mingzi cupped his fists at the figure, but the man did not speak, only a blue light flashed in the man's hand, and a beam of light passed through the roof and went straight out of the city went.

The figure just got off the gums and walked out slowly.Jing Mingzi lowered his head, but he heard "Junior Brother, you are here." A voice full of confidence, he remembered it in front of him.

When he looked up, he saw a young man standing in front of him. He was also wearing a moon white Taoist robe, but it seemed that he hadn't changed it for many years. He looked a little shabby, with a simple bun on his head, and his face was white and beardless. , and when he saw the Taoist last time, he was a different person.

Although Jing Mingzi was surprised, he had to know that Jing Zi never looked at people with his current appearance. If he had appeared as a middle-aged person in the past, on rare occasions, he would have come out of the customs with the appearance of an old man with white hair and white hair.

"Brother." Jing Mingzi shouted.The Taoist went to the door and pushed open the door of the main hall, and the sunlight came from outside, instantly illuminating the whole room brightly.

Only then did he respond and said: "Junior brother, you see that the spring is just right, and it's another year."

"Senior brother, when I just entered the city, I saw the Baiyun Sect enter the city. It seems that the entry of the Buddha's bone into the capital is unstoppable. When the time comes, I am afraid that there will be obstacles for you, senior brother, to do things in the capital." Jing Mingzi said .

All I saw was the young man standing by the gate with his hands behind his back, not saying a word for a long time.

After half an hour.

"Junior brother, do you think that I, Jingzi, would be afraid of a corpse?" The young man turned around, but his appearance had changed. It was the familiar middle-aged appearance of the Taoist, with a dignified expression, not as good as when he was a teenager. Brisk appearance.

"Buddha bone is a small matter, and explaining the Tao is also a small matter. I am calling you here now, and there is another matter."

Jing Mingzi looked at the Taoist, but he didn't react immediately when he heard this passage. "Brother, you called me here, but you didn't do it for this reason, so?"

"There will be a big change in the world. A few days ago, Zhang Tianshi from the Qin Tianjian came to me to report that within ten years, the Taoist sect will be destroyed. At that time, no one in the Taoist sect can survive alone." The Taoist said slowly .

"What?" Jing Mingzi on the side was too shocked to speak.

"What is it that has such power, I will not sit idly by and let the Taoist sect be extinct."

"I have been teaching for decades and have not been able to summon the upper realm talismans. A few days ago, Zhang Tianshi also said that they are no longer protected by the upper realm in their teaching. We discussed it and felt that maybe those ancestors had already naturalized in the way of heaven. I can only rely on me to wait for my life in this world."

This news hit the Taoist heart like thunder, and the middle-aged man in front of him also sighed, as if he was in such a calm state of mind, he was really shocked by the news at the time.Speaking of it now, there is also a burst of desolation in my heart.

"As for what happened, I don't know. It's just that the world was overturned, whether it was a man-made disaster or a natural disaster. It's just that the overall situation has been determined, and we can only try to preserve it."

"Now Tianshi Zhang and I can only be stationed in the capital, so we called Daoist Sima and you to come to the capital respectively. You must announce this to the Taoist sect. After that, let others go. Let the sect restrain the disciples first, it is very important. When using extraordinary methods, you must keep in mind."

The two were talking, only to hear the sound of bells and gongs outside the city gate.The middle-aged Taoist closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he sighed and said, "Xi Province Hou Lou'er is reversed."

Hundreds of officials in the court hall stood hesitantly in the hall. Just now, with the sound of bells and gongs, countless messengers have been sent to various official palaces to cast letters on the halls. On the top are only black letters on a white background, which read "Hou Louer has rebelled." "Five characters, everyone rushed into the palace anxiously.

When everyone was busy walking around, they saw that Master Hongyi, who was supposed to handle matters in Xilin Temple, had stepped into the hall and was standing on the right side of the Golden Hall.The official with good deeds asked: "National teacher, what is the situation now, why is the emperor still in the future?"

The old monk just smiled, and heard the sound of people kneeling outside the hall, and saw a beautiful woman walking with a young man on her head, and the talkative official also hurriedly knelt down , Shouting in the mouth: "Long live my emperor, a thousand years old queen mother!"

And behind those two people followed a middle-aged Taoist, with a dignified face and slightly bent waist, it was Jing Zi, the national teacher of the Taoist school.

The dark clouds outside the city covered the city, and even the golden light of Xilin Temple was suppressed.

"I report to Your Majesty that Hou Louer, Governor of the Western Province, has led the Sixteenth Route Army to rebel! Now they have driven straight into the hinterland of our Shengjing. If there is no one to stop us, I am afraid that within three days the troops will come to the city."

"I would like to inform your majesty that the defense in the capital is currently empty. If we do not make further arrangements, I am afraid that we will not be able to resist Hou Lou'er's sixteenth army. The minister recommends that the Xie family army from Donglin County be transferred to the capital first. It has been used for defense and will be dispatched quickly." Call the Xiaoxiang army for help."

"The Xiaoxiang Army is in Zhuzhou City, far away from Beijing. I'm afraid they can't count on it. Why don't they send King Ning to quickly rescue them?"

……

The court officials were arguing, but the young man on the dragon chair was extremely impatient, he slapped the table, and the hall was suddenly silent. "It's just against the governor all the way, what's the point of making noise!" Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

I saw Shen Wangchao tremblingly saying: "Since General Zhenbei died of illness in the frontier, Hou Louer has become the No. 1 general in the court, Your Majesty." As Shen Wangchao spoke, he lay down on the ground, not daring to move.

The little emperor didn't take it seriously, and said: "It's Shen Qing's family, how about the Buddha bone matter that you supervised a few days ago?"

"The Buddha bones have been safely stored in our temple. If your lord is free, you can go to my Xilin Temple to have a look, and you can also save some Buddha fate for the royal family." The old monk on the side said first.

"Then thank the national teacher first, and I will choose a day to take my son to the temple for a visit, just because I am worried that I will disturb the masters Qingxiu, which is very disrespectful." The queen mother on the side said.

"It's okay, it's okay, the emperor and empress dowager's visit to our temple is the light of our temple, so there's no such thing as disrespect." The old monk said politely.

"I said, Hou Lou'er is just a warrior, you don't need to panic, just call Xie's army to defend first." The little emperor said quite casually.

"Your Majesty, why don't you send the Xiaoxiang Army to Beijing immediately to assist in the defense? It will be more sure." The old minister with white beard and hair also knelt down.

For some reason, the little emperor had a disgusted expression on his face, he patted the table, and said: "My inner imperial army, the capital garrison outside the city are not as good as the Xiaoxiang army, they can defend, but I can't?"

The little emperor seemed to have thought of something, looked at the middle-aged Taoist standing on the left side and said, "Master, I want to conquer in person, what do you think?"

The black-haired Taoist priest did not speak, as if he was meditating, twisting his hands in his sleeves, and the quarrelsome officials in the court gradually returned to peace, as if he was recalling the little emperor's shocking moment just now. General word.

The imperial conquest.All the panicked officials fell to their knees one after another. At this moment, they only thought that this Taoist national teacher, who was entrusted by the late emperor, could stop the emperor's absurd act.

However, the national teacher shook his sleeves, and said lightly, "The scabrous little thief is trying to steal the country, so let the poor Taoist go with the emperor. The emperor's personal conquest is also a good way to show my mighty power to the sky." It's time." His Royal Highness and the ministers were in an uproar.Just as he was about to speak, the Taoist stood up and looked at the old monk who was sitting on the other side with a benevolent brow, as if intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's just that the emperor's dragon body is precious, and the capital's heavy army is an important line of defense against foreigners. It would be a pity to spend it on these rats. Why don't we call the Xiaoxiang army and the Xie family army to deploy on the two wings. Now that the momentum has grown, And without the wear and tear of the imperial guards, wouldn’t it be beautiful to go without hurting the feathers.”

After the old Taoist finished speaking, the officials in the audience lowered their heads again, the old monk sitting in the distance remained motionless, like a wooden sculpture, but the queen mother spoke before the emperor.

"What Master Jingzi said is true, my son's personal conquest is very reckless, but since Long'er ascended the throne, there have been many complaints about Long'er in the countryside, this personal conquest is a good opportunity, and With soldiers and horses from the two governments escorting the escort and Jingyang Zi accompanying him, it is expected that nothing will happen."

The old Taoist raised his eyes and saw that the queen mother seemed to be smiling, and she couldn't help but secretly sighed as she kept looking at herself.But the young emperor on the side didn't realize it, and just announced the news cheerfully.
