057 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 56

☆, Chapter 56: Looking for traces of the past and then going to Taicang Mountain

I don’t know why, but suddenly, Xie Lian seemed to have a burst of courage again.

After Lang Qianqiu left, his steps had been a little slow and his back was a little bent.And this courage didn’t know where it came from or where it was going, but it actually made him stand up straight again without realizing it.He stood still when Shi Qingxuan came up, patted him on the shoulder and said: “This person is quite interesting. Your Highness, I don’t know how you made friends with him, but you are so lucky.”

This is the first time Xie Lian heard someone say to him, you are so lucky.He glanced at Shi Qingxuan, smiled slightly, and said, “Really? Probably. I think so too.”

Behind them, Feng Xin continued to wipe his face silently.When the two of them turned around, they saw that his face was covered with white hair, and they had a hard time holding back their laughter.Thanks for the pity: “I’m sorry.”

This is an apology on behalf of Huacheng.Feng Xin finally pulled off all the white hair and said: “My skills are not as good as others. There is nothing to say.”

The three of them searched the lair again and made sure that no one was trapped alive and no fish had slipped through the net. Then they rode a gust of wind and returned to Xianjing again.

After passing the Ascension Gate, I saw many lower-level priests from Zhongtian Court blocking the street, coming and going, as if they were faced with a formidable enemy, searching around every palace on both sides of the street.When they arrived at the Shenwu Hall, the hall was already filled with priests who had gone to heaven, and they could hear the sound of arguments in the distance.The first sentence they heard was: “Huacheng actually said that we should go to heaven to install spies in the ghost market. This is really ridiculous. We in heaven need to put spies under him??”

Hearing this, both Xie Lian and Shi Qingxuan coughed lightly.The story of placing an informant undercover in the ghost market is 80% not false.If you shout so impatiently without even clarifying the matter, wouldn’t it be like shooting yourself in the foot if it is true?

The three of them entered the hall, with Shi Qingxuan walking at the front.As soon as everyone looked at him, they greeted: “Master Feng Master is back?” “Thank you for your hard work!” But their eyes were fixed on Xie Lian.I was still waiting to ask again, but then I saw Feng Xin behind the two of them, who seemed to have just crawled out of a pool of blood, and walked in with a sullen face.Everyone froze instantly and looked away.After all, no one wants to hear the curses that echo through the sky in the quiet hall.Only with admiration, not only did she not avoid it, but she deliberately looked this way, her intentions clearly revealed.

Xie Lian raised his eyes and saw Jun Wu sitting at the top, supporting his forehead with one hand, pressing his temples, closing his eyes, looking slightly tired.Xie Lian is very understanding.

In the past, there wouldn’t necessarily be a meeting in a month or two, but recently there have been frequent accidents. In a short period of time, the Shenwu Hall was full several times. It seemed like there was something going on every day, and he wished he could hold a meeting twice a day. He was also tired if he was thanking Lian for it.Moreover, there are many people who want to express their opinions, and there are many different opinions.A priest said: “He came as he came and connected the Xianle Palace to other places. This is really terrible. Now he can easily arrest His Highness the Crown Prince who offended him. Tomorrow he may be able to arrest other priests in other palaces. This matter must not be tolerated and must be stopped in time!”

If it were in the human world, it would be equivalent to a rebel digging a tunnel in the palace, allowing him to come and go freely, which of course would make people uneasy.It’s no wonder that the priests in the Heavenly Court just now wanted to put all their strength into martial law and conduct investigations everywhere.The focus of admiration is not here, and he said calmly: “There are so many believers in Huacheng, sitting in a ghost market, a mere Bliss Square, and burning it down, what else can it mean to him? It is not necessarily because His Highness the Crown Prince offended him that he broke into Xianjing.”

Shi Qingxuan immediately said: “General Xuanzhen, what you said is wrong. Everyone heard Huacheng himself admit it. Speaking of which general is it this month to guard the court? The gate of Xianle Palace has been casted to other places without even noticing. Is this considered dereliction of duty?”

Pei Ming was standing aside with his arms folded, but the old god didn’t say anything. When he heard this, he said: “Me.”

Shi Qingxuan accidentally remembered it wrongly. He originally thought it was admiration, but it turned out to be embarrassing for Pei Ming.Pei Ming did not shirk his responsibility and said: “I am the one on duty this month. It is true that I have neglected my duty.”

The priest who was friends with him immediately came to the rescue and said: “In my opinion, things should come one by one. Let’s figure out the blood-bathed gilded banquet first!”

At this time, Lingwen, who was standing in front of the palace, suddenly said: “His Royal Highness Taihua has news.”

Jun Wu finally opened his eyes and said, “What did he say?”

Lingwen waited quietly for a moment and said: “He said that there is another secret about the Yong’an Kingdom’s gilded banquet. He will find His Highness the Crown Prince to resolve it on his own without the intervention of others. But please be sure not to let His Highness the Crown Prince succeed in self-deprecating. These are two different things.”

Mu Qing frowned and said, “What’s the inside story?”

Lingwen said: “I didn’t say more, there is no news.”

Unexpectedly, seeing the battle about to break out, the hammer hit the ground hard but landed lightly. All the priests couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.Lang Qianqiu is the owner of the trouble. If the owner doesn’t go to the murderer to collect debts, what else can others enjoy?Moreover, if Lang Qianqiu doesn’t say it, Xie Lian doesn’t seem to know how to say it. This matter really doesn’t even make sense.

Next, Jun Wu ordered Feng Xin and Mu Qing to help Pei Ming strengthen his vigilance. He also arranged some other things and waved his hands to let everyone disperse.Xie Lian stayed and faintly heard someone talking: “Sure enough, every time he reveals something, the emperor says he wants to be tried, but in the end nothing happens…”

“I can’t see Mount Tai, but it turns out to be a giant Buddha. Be careful what you say in the future.”

…

After everyone had dispersed, Xie Lian walked up to the front of the palace, bowed and said, “I’m causing trouble for you.”

Jun Wudao: “This is not too much trouble. It would be trouble if you were the one who kept biting the blood-bathed gilded banquet.”

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Lian finally told the whole story by himself.

After listening, Jun Wu commented: “Xianle, what you have done is really thankless, and you are not human inside and out.”

Xie Lian lowered his head and said, “I know.”

Jun Wudao: “That’s all. You’ve always been like this. Now Taihua’s attention has been diverted to chase Qinggui. After he catches up, he will definitely come to you. How to deal with it, have you thought about it?”

Xie Lian said: “I haven’t thought about it. But for now, I’d better think of something else.”

Jun Wu smiled and said: “What are you thinking about? Is there anything interesting that would make me happy too.”

Xie Lian said: “The Earth Master went undercover in the ghost market. Was it you who sent him?”

Jun Wu said calmly: “Yes.”

Thanks for the pity: “Why is this?”

Jun Wu said slowly: “Because it was Huacheng who first placed his spy in the heaven.”

Xie Lian was startled.Jun Wu stood up and said: “For many years, the news in Huacheng has been too fast. Moreover, he also knows clearly some things that he should not know. He grasps what can be done and what cannot be done, where is the bottom line, and how to skirt the edges. But this time, he directly opened the passage to your Xianle Palace, which has indirectly proved that the Heavenly Court does have an insider arranged by him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to do this.”

In fact, Xie Lian was somewhat aware of this. After all, Hua Cheng really knew too much, so it was not unbelievable for Jun Wu to say it.He asked: “Do you have any evidence?”

Jun Wu slowly shook his head and said: “It was because there was no evidence but something strange happened again and again, that I let Mingyi sneak into the ghost world. Unexpectedly, before the ghost in Heaven was found out, Mingyi fell into his hands. Although he did not fall into his hands and was rescued by you, it is even more difficult to find his informant this time.”

Xie Lian said: “Is the problem going to the Upper Heaven or the Middle Heaven?”

Jun Wudao: “It’s hard to say. It’s possible for you to treat anyone except you. Maybe, there is only one, maybe, there are more.”

No wonder Junwu didn’t send others to the ghost market to find out the whereabouts of the instrument.If it is possible for anyone except him, Xie Lian can’t help but think to himself: “Is it possible for Feng Master, Qianqiu, Feng Xin and others?”

At this time, Jun Wudao said: “Xianle, I know you must have a good impression of Huacheng now. You have your own sense of propriety, making friends, and others should not say too much. But when necessary, be careful about Huacheng, and don’t reveal everything to him.”

Hearing this, Xie Lian gathered his thoughts.Jun Wudao: “Those who can achieve perfection have all experienced pain that ordinary people can’t imagine. Either soar to the sky, or they will never recover. The two desperate ghost kings who came out of Tonglu Mountain, Black Water and Huacheng, are far more terrifying than you imagine.”

Xie Lian lowered his head, neither refuting nor agreeing.Jun Wudao: “I don’t know what his purpose and movements are, but he has a clear understanding of the purpose and movements of going to heaven. This is very disadvantageous.”

Hearing him say “This is very disadvantageous”, Xie Lian raised his head and blurted out: “Sanlang…” Seeing Jun Wu looking over, he paused and changed his words, “Huacheng, he should not do anything too extreme. After all, do you think, with his strength, if he wanted to cause trouble, wouldn’t he be able to turn the world upside down long ago? Since he didn’t do it before, then as long as nothing big happens, he probably won’t do it in the future.”

Jun Wudao: “I hope so, but you know, I can’t take risks.”

After leaving the Shenwu Palace, Xie Lian walked slowly on the streets of Xianjing.

When passing by Xianle Palace, he stopped and looked at it for a while.

This is the palace view given to him by Jun Wu. It is gorgeous, brand-new, and at the same time, very strange.The vermilion door has rows of bright nails, but two seals filled with incantations have been stamped, forming a huge intersection, which is shocking to look at.

Before Shi Qingxuan left the Shenwu Palace, he told him that because the gate was connected to another place by magic, your palace was temporarily sealed. You can come to my palace to rest.However, Xie Lian stared at this “Xianle Palace” for a while and suddenly turned around.He didn’t go to the Feng Master Palace, and he didn’t care about what he was going to do. Instead, he walked straight ahead, exited the Ascension Gate, and jumped down.

After passing through the sea of ​​clouds, he landed in Taicang Mountain.

On this Tai Cang Mountain, there once stood the Royal Taoist Temple of the Ancient Kingdom of Xianle – Huangji Temple.

Huangji Temple is an extremely large group of Taoist temples. In the temples throughout Taicang Mountain, several gods and immortals are enshrined, complementing each other.The main god is Emperor Shenwu, and the Golden Palace is at the highest peak.The Prince’s Palace, located on the sub-peak, also had its heyday.

Eight hundred years ago, Taicang Mountain was covered with fiery maple forests all over the mountain. It was a famous scenic spot, and the maple forest road was filled with people and an endless stream of believers.Later, when the Xianle Kingdom was destroyed, many former believers rushed up the mountain in groups to burn the Prince’s Palace, but they caused a mountain fire and burned most of the entire Taicang Mountain, turning it into a piece of scorched earth.

The charred earth, like the earth where the dead were buried, seemed more fertile.Later, on this scorched earth, seeds fell and new trees grew.Hundreds of years later, the mountains and plains were once again lush and green, but there were no more red leaves. The scenery was completely different from that of eight hundred years ago.

In the past, there was a wide and flat bluestone mountain path when going up the mountain.From time to time, you can see pilgrims worshiping the mountain or little Taoist priests carrying water and firewood on the mountain road.Now, this mountain road has long disappeared.The mountains, rocks, dead grass and branches buried it deep in the ground.Xie Lian went up the mountain, relying on his legs. When he encountered thorns blocking his way, he took off the Fangxin Sword from his back and cut off the dead vines and weeds.

When they climbed halfway up the mountain, Xie Lian was a little tired and leaned against a dead tree, wanting to rest for a while.Suddenly, a dark object crashed down from the tree, making a strange “kack” sound, and hit him head on.
