"It's a roar." Gao Guang stood up with a solemn expression and looked towards the distant hills, where the sound came from. The two Taoist officials listened to the roar and looked at each other.
Gao Guang was silent for a moment, and then opened his eyes: "I heard that the legendary immortals will have changes in the sky once they break through. Now that the spring thunder has started, but there is no abnormality, does it count as a failure?"
"Father, the legends are not believable, nor are the supernatural beings and wills. Every time there is a breakthrough in cultivation, there will be strange phenomena. So don't we just need to kill them if they see abnormalities?"
The elder Taoist officer said with a wry smile. Gao Guang listened and took a few steps. The wind blew by, and the cold and moist air hit his face, which made him tremble.
"Boom" Another thunder flashed in the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning, which illuminated the inside and outside of the pavilion pale. Gao Guang was so shocked that his whole body trembled. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and said with a stern face, "Is it done?"
Then there was a hoarse voice: "The imperial court supports you, and it is only useful at this time. You can't even handle this little thing, so what else do you need to do?"
These words were cold. The two Taoist officials couldn't help but trembled and looked at each other. The young Taoist official gritted his teeth, touched the magic weapon in his arms, and said: "Father-in-law, I have a way to check, but in thunderstorms, it will not affect us." The Taoist restrictions are too great. A thunderclap could mean life or death. If anything happens, please ask the father-in-law for your support."
"Okay, if you do it, I will report it. It will not be difficult to get promoted." Gao Guang said with a wave of his hand.
The young Taoist official gritted his teeth and took out a mirror. He looked up at it and saw that the mountains and rivers were vividly carved on the mirror.
The young Taoist official hesitated for a moment, bit the tip of his tongue, and squirted up a mouthful of blood. Then, with a "crack" sound, the mirror vibrated, and some thin spiritual light danced on the mirror. He could faintly see Pei Ziyun's figure, but this figure, The thunder light suddenly lit up.
"Poof", the young Taoist spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell down with blood flowing from all his orifices. He twitched on the ground. The older Taoist sighed, stepped forward to get the elixir, and lifted the young Taoist up and fed him.
"How's the investigation?" Gao Guang stared closely at the young Taoist official. The Taoist officer rolled his eyes and wanted to speak, but his body was numb.
"He succeeded." The older Taoist official opened his mouth and said hoarsely.
"How can I see it?"
"The thunder of heaven is the power of heaven. After a Taoist has passed through the thunder tribulation, he will have a hint of the power of heaven. If he peeks into the power of heaven, there will be a backlash. This reaction is evidence of the success of overcoming the tribulation."
"Not only that, it will be difficult for Taoist officials to spy in the future. It will also be difficult to apply various spells. Even the suppression of dragon energy will be reduced a lot." The elder Taoist official sighed: "Peering into the power of heaven and suffering the backlash, Not only has Kou Yu’s Taoist career been greatly reduced, but he is also afraid that he may have become ill.”
Gao Guang's face turned red after hearing this. He pinched his fingernails and his expression was dull. After a long time, he said, "Go and report the situation to the court immediately."
"As for you, Kou Yu, I keep my word. I am the imperial envoy. I will immediately promote you to the next level and give you a position as the host of the Taoist temple. I will provide you with good care." Gao Guang said, looking better but still unable to speak. The young Taoist official said .
"Yes, but we have to wait until the thunder stops." The older Taoist officer responded. Watching the thunder gradually dissipate, he took out the communication talisman a little. The aura gradually spread and formed a person, but it was Feng Min, the chief of the Daolu Department. , is giving instructions on official documents.
The elder Taoist official bowed and saluted: "Feng Tidian, something happened. Pei Zhenjun has successfully overcome the tribulation."
Feng Min's hand holding the pen trembled, his face turned pale, and he stood up suddenly: "What, say it again."
"Feng reminded me, Pei Zhenjun went to Cijiupo today in the name of enjoying the scenery. We were just supervising on a regular basis, but we didn't want to take advantage of the spring thunder to overcome the disaster and succeeded." The elder official said clearly. He said: "Kou Yu just used the method to supervise, and he suffered a backlash."
As he spoke, he revealed the figure of the young Taoist official behind him.
"Why don't you react?" Feng Min was furious, but he was an expert. He immediately woke up and knew that there were no conditions. He wandered around the room and muttered to himself: "No, it's impossible. There are only a few people in history. Pei Ziyun If you practice too quickly and have an unstable foundation, you should not succeed.”
"My lord, my lord?" The elder Taoist official saw that Feng Min was in confusion and urged him again. The communication time of this talisman was not long.
Feng Min stretched out his hand and pinched himself, feeling a burst of pain. He sobered up a lot, and turned around and said, "I know this, and I will report it to your Majesty immediately."
With that said, Feng Min closed the talisman and hurriedly turned around and went out.
Cijiupo
"Zhenjun, it's raining on this slope and it's a bit slippery. Please be careful!" As soon as Pei Ziyun came down, Gao Guang came up to meet him, with a flattering look on his face and an even more respectful and polite attitude: "You have a relationship with hundreds of thousands of troops. You should make mistakes. , I really can’t afford this.”
When Gao Guang said this, Lord Yu Yun and the elder couldn't help but look at each other. They looked at each other in a majestic manner, facing the self-proclaimed slave. Could it be that Pei Ziyun was so majestic
But Pei Ziyun felt clear in his heart, knowing that Gao Guang knew that he had survived the disaster. He had been frightened just now, but now he had calmed down. He smiled relaxedly and said, "Why should I be like this? I don't dare to take it seriously, but it is indeed a bit cold if there is no snow in the spring rain!"
He then heard Gao Guang say quickly: "It's hard work for Zhenjun to enjoy the scenery. I have arranged a Taoist temple, which is not far away."
After hearing this, Pei Ziyun stared at Gao Guang with a smile on his face. Gao Guang felt his body sink, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead, feeling terrified.
"Lead the way!" Pei Ziyun looked away after a while, Gao Guang hurriedly wiped his sweat, and did not dare to say more at this time, leading the way.
Lin Yunguan
There were armored guards in front of the door, and two cypress trees with all their leaves standing. The temple leader led several Taoists to wait. When they saw Gao Guang leading Pei Ziyun, they immediately came up to them.
Entering the interior, the ground is made of bluestone. Over the years, there is some gray moss on the ground, and the eaves make a ticking sound as the drizzle from the sky falls on the tiles.
The master of the temple accompanied him and said: "This temple is the original temple of Baidu Master. At that time, the master compiled "Xuanshan Zang" here, which is a collection of Taoist canons. In February of the first year of Mingchang in the Yan Kingdom, the Empress Dowager was critically ill and died. The real person set up the Jiao Temple, and one month later, the Queen Mother recovered from her illness, so she was granted the imperial title."
When a group of people entered, they saw that the statue was indeed a Taoist, and it also had spiritual light. Pei Ziyun looked at it and saw that the statue was already holding incense in his hands. He couldn't help but smile, took his hands and put them into the furnace, and he bowed his head to sign the ceremony.
Seeing this, Gao Guang also stepped onto the pillar. He also bowed slightly, walked out, and asked, "Have you been cured? You must not slack off at all."
The owner of the temple immediately withdrew and led him into the room to rest. He looked at Pei Ziyun from time to time, but Pei Ziyun was drinking tea relaxedly and suddenly asked: "I heard that Chenzhou has been completely recovered?"
Gao Guang listened, swallowed the words that had reached his mouth, and changed his words: "Yes, the true king defeated King Lu, and the counties surrendered after hearing the news. Just this morning, the last county has been recovered. This is all due to the true king. , the court will definitely praise you."
"Haha." Pei Ziyun listened to Gao Guang's words and said with a smile, "Praise? I heard that someone in the court impeached me for twelve major crimes."
"It is said that I have twenty soldiers on Liujin Island, and I also hide eighteen pieces of chainmail, and I am planning something evil. This is a crime of great treason."
"It is a crime of deception to mobilize officers and soldiers without permission to save friends."
Gao Guang understood what he was saying and started to sweat, but Pei Ziyun continued to speak, detailing: "As a Taoist, it is a crime of transgression to accept the ceremony of kowtow."
"To kill the commander-in-chief without asking for an order is a crime of monopolization. It is also a crime of corruption and corruption by setting up a private boat shop. By the way, even cutting down mountains and forests privately is a crime of erosion."
As he said this, Pei Ziyun smiled, and when he saw Gao Guang's cold sweat dripping down, he smiled hoarsely: "I think all of these are correct. I heard from the book that according to the law, everyone in the family should be killed; mothers, daughters, wives, and concubines should be given to the hero's family. Slave, you just want to give me death because of your poor merits? I must be so grateful that Pei will burst into tears - is that what Zhezi said?"
Gao Guang immediately turned pale, sweating through his clothes, and kowtowed repeatedly, saying: "This is all a trap set up by villains. True Lord, the court has always been a top priority. Don't believe this. If there is such a villain, the court will deal with it with thunder. You are really innocent."
"Really?" Pei Ziyun looked at the father-in-law who, although he was only a sixth-grade man, had an imperial envoy and held a high position. Although he was usually docile, he was actually a needle in the cotton. He lowered his head and suddenly felt great satisfaction in his heart. This is what the earth has to offer. Seeing the majesty of the immortal, he immediately smiled and said: "Yes, I don't think the court will believe such a villain."
He said, looked at it, and smiled again, "I smell the aroma of the banquet—come on, let's go use it together!"
Beijing·Imperial City Gate
A dozen officials came out joking slowly. Winter always passes slowly and spring always comes late. The cold wind was blowing and everyone was hiding. But Tong Lin, the fifth-rank official and censor, didn't feel it at all. He still felt hot and his face turned red. , rubbing hands from time to time.
"Master Tong, your move is not genuine. This trick has been brewing for a long time, but you got the first step." A censor beside Tong Lin said with a smile.
"The imperial court will not agree to my confession. I have offended the true king for nothing, and I have caused a lot of trouble." Tong Lin said, suddenly laughing, and when he heard it in the ears of the censor on the side, there was a sense of sadness in his heart. , why let Tong Lin take the lead
At this time, I sighed secretly in my heart: "Brother Tong, if you take this strip now, the emperor will definitely not allow it, but you can't get it, so you get it."
"You can't kill, but you can demote - this is a blessing."
"The ministers of the court have long been dissatisfied with Pei Ziyun's control of military affairs. Although he is the Prince of Chengshun County on the surface, who doesn't know that he is Pei Ziyun? What's more, Pei Ziyun is a Taoist and interfering in government affairs is a crime. Even if you are relegated because of this, you will be proud of yourself later. "
When the censor said this, Tong Lin felt proud in his heart, but he was humble: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I am just for the court and the emperor. I still have this view. Although a Taoist has a temporary success, killing him will last forever. Even if we can’t kill him now, we still have to stop this evil trend and set the course straight.”
"If Taoists preside over the temple, the country will be ruined." These words were said openly and sincerely, and the officials around him nodded repeatedly.
Pei Ziyun's credit, what is that? Even if a Taoist has meritorious service, how can he be allowed to stand in the temple for the sake of longevity
