Royal Palace·Nan Pavilion
Under the blue sky, the golden glazed tiles stand out particularly brilliantly, and the white marble paved floor shines with a warm light. From a distance, the palace seems to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
In the corridor, a eunuch was walking in a hurry, holding an urgent report in his hand. He saw palace maids standing in front of the corridors and doors.
Eight eunuchs stood in front of the Nuan Pavilion, and inside the screen, two big eunuchs stood bowed. When the eunuchs entered, they kowtowed silently and heard the sound of paper rustling. Emperor Qitai held the tube and wrote inscriptions on the memorial. He said, "What do you need? I'll talk to you after I finish the review."
The eunuch bowed and stood in response. After Emperor Qitai finished his approval, he stretched his body and looked up. He immediately saw this eunuch saying: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Jinzhou."
"Bring it to me for a look." Emperor Qitai was startled and said hurriedly. The eunuch hurriedly handed over the urgent report in his hand. When the emperor saw the urgent report, he was suddenly shocked and swayed.
The serving eunuch quickly helped him and stabilized his body.
Emperor Qitai's face was pale, cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, and he murmured: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this..."
"Your Majesty." The eunuch asked worriedly.
Emperor Qitai breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I just lost my composure for a moment. Just help me rest for a while."
"Pass on Feng Min." Emperor Qitai said feebly while sitting on the couch.
After a while, Feng Min arrived. Just as he was about to salute the emperor, he was interrupted by Emperor Qitai: "Feng Qing, please excuse me. I just received an urgent report. Pei Ziyun killed King Lu and also killed the imperial envoy. At this moment, he is rushing Come to the capital."
"Feng Qing, do you have a good plan at this moment? I know that the arrow is on the string and I have to take action, but I still feel a little panicked for no reason."
"Where are the Dao Lord and the people from the Dao Sect?"
When the emperor thought that Pei Ziyun was rushing to the capital, traveling three hundred miles a day, he originally hoped that Pei Ziyun would arrive, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. As he spoke, he said "cough, cough, cough" repeatedly, and his face appeared. A hint of sickly blush.
"Your Majesty." Feng Min knew that the emperor's heart was already in confusion at this time, but at this point, he should calm down no matter what.
He moved a few steps forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Taoist Master is aware that Pei Ziyun is unwilling to be captured without mercy. At this moment, he is leading a group of people from the Taoist sect to intercept and kill Pei Ziyun at Xianrendu in order to destroy his spirit and obtain first-hand information."
"At the moment, there are 7,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city combined with the Daolu Division and eleven sects, plus the Seven Dragons Absolute Spirit Formation specially used to deal with Taoists, and the Taoist Lord is on our side. Don't say that Pei Ziyun has not reached the level of iron casting. In the Tongguan realm, even if your luck is against the heavens and you are lucky enough to enter it, you will still be unable to fly in the face of the heaven and earth net, and you will only be defeated."
When Emperor Qitai heard Feng Min say this, he also felt that his side had a greater chance of winning at this moment, and his mood gradually calmed down. He smiled to himself: "I was panicked just now. Alas, Mount Tai collapsed in front of me and my expression did not change. That's what I said." Easy, easy to say?"
"Then Pei Ziyun's murder of the imperial envoy happened in full public view. How should he deal with it?"
"This matter is not what I can say, but it involves Taoists, and I dare not hide it. In accordance with my opinion, I will first issue a hush-hush order to the camp. Once the truth comes out, it will not be too late to make the decision known to the world." Feng Min kowtowed and said. With.
Emperor Qitai immediately understood and said, "What you said is true."
Official way
Since the founding of the country, all previous dynasties have more or less built official roads. This place is newly renovated. It is straight and wide, with large wheat fields on both sides.
This year, except for the war-torn areas, the weather has been good, with abundant rainfall, and the winter wheat is lush and green. When the wind blows, the green wheat seedlings fluctuate, and I can see that there will be a good harvest in May this year.
Not long after the sun rose, there were many cars, horses and pedestrians on the road. At this time, a horse riding Juechen came.
Looking at the horse, many people turned away from the road and shouted: "Stay out of the way, this is an official horse, a horse from the post station. It depends on the situation and there is an emergency."
"If you are in a hurry, if you block the road, you will die if you are hit."
Pei Ziyun actually heard them talking, but ignored them and killed the imperial envoy. He continued walking along the post station, putting on a new horse each time.
The only thing that was different from the normal one was that he was very fast. Every day, he used Taoist magic to bring out the life of his horse. He galloped desperately on the road and shed blood and sweat. Only in this way could he reach the capital quickly.
At this moment, Pei Ziyun looked solemn, showing no joy, anger or joy.
"As expected, the stations along the way still treated me with the courtesy of an imperial envoy and a true king. I didn't receive any other instructions at all. Haha, the court, I understand it very well."
Pei Ziyun shook his head and sighed. Ever since the emperor gave him five gold medals in a row to urge him to come to Beijing, he knew that his friendship with the emperor was over.
I remember when the emperor was trapped in the prince's mansion, and supported the prince step by step to get out of the predicament and ascend to the throne.
But now the cunning rabbit is still dead and the lackey is cooked.
What's even more hateful is that some Taoists from the Taoist sect are also making trouble there, and they all want to put themselves to death. No matter what, they have to deal with these scumbags as well.
"system."
A plum blossom appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged and turned into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of my eyes.
“Earth Immortal: Level 7 (91.5%)
Soon, I might advance to the eighth level of the Earth Immortal at any time. By then, all conspiracies and tricks will be useless in the face of absolute strength.
"drive"
Pei Ziyun galloped and came to a river, which was a ferry. At this time, he felt dizzy for no reason. After a while, the dizziness slowly disappeared.
Pei Ziyun looked around and found a shed built at the mouth of the river. There was a stone tablet outside the shed that read: Immortal Crossing.
It turns out that I have arrived at Immortal Ferry so quickly, and it seems that it is not far from the capital. Legend has it that the immortal rides the wind and crosses the river here, so he was named Immortal Ferry.
I saw that the owner of the shed was a young man, who was weeding at the moment. When he heard some movement, he slowly raised his head and looked over.
Pei Ziyun's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at it. The young man was wearing a moon-white gauze gown. He was simple and elegant, the only one he had ever seen in his life.
The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and Pei Ziyun knew that he had met his opponent.
The young man stood up straight, gave up his hand, and said leisurely: "I am Zhu Chun."
The name was very unfamiliar, but Pei Ziyun pondered and asked, "Master Dao?"
In fact, Zhu Chun's name no longer exists in history, but there are still some records of Qi Xuanmen. It is said that the direct line has been lost, but there are still seven branches that are indirectly related.
"My name has been hidden in the world for a long time. I don't want you to recognize me." Daojun extended his hand to invite me in: "I haven't tasted good wine for a thousand years. Feng Min took me to drink it a few days ago. I never imagined that there are so many good wines and foods in the world. , it still tastes the same as it did thousands of years ago.”
These few words made Pei Ziyun smile and said: "The Tao Lord's words are a bit pretentious. Although the real name does not exist, the Tao Lord enshrined in the Taoist temple still exists."
"The title of Dao Lord is still the title granted by Emperor Shizong back then. He first granted the title to the real person, then to the True Lord, and then to the title of Dao Lord. His position was as high as that of the Emperor. Oh, I won't go into details. I'll treat you to a drink."
"Master Dao invites me to drink, why should I delay?" Pei Ziyun smiled and sat down separately for the honored guests.
Daojun personally filled a glass of wine for Pei Ziyun and asked, "Are you really going to Beijing?"
"Go to Beijing, but if there are too many people, I won't go. I will go after a while." Pei Ziyun responded.
"There are already many people in the capital, so why are there so many more people?" Daojun said with a teasing smile.
Pei Ziyun drank the wine and praised: "Good wine."
"Haha, what Lord Dao said is that when there are many people, I avoid them, and when there are few people, I enter. What do you think, Lord Dao?"
As he spoke, he poured out some remaining wine, and smoke immediately started to appear on the ground.
Pei Ziyun stared at Mr. Dao, and leaned back with his body relaxed: "Now that you have drunk, can you do something?"
Taojun glanced at it and suddenly smiled: "After drinking wine, you are a guest. How can the master do anything?"
After saying that, he slowly withdrew.
Pei Ziyun did not make any move to intercept him, but just let him retreat. A gust of wind blew up, and the curtains around the shed rustled.
Several Taoists slowly approached Pei Ziyun, and after a quick look, they turned out to be the headmaster of Yingling Temple, Tiannv Palace, Pingtian Temple, Xuanfa Sect, and Donghua Sect Taoist Sect.
Pei Ziyun glanced at the masters of these sects with cold eyes, and said in a cold tone: "It turns out that not only Dao Lord invited me to drink, but all the masters also greeted me with a formation. Pei is very honored."
The headmaster of Pingtianguan said in a solemn tone: "Pei Zhenjun, you are extremely talented. All the Taoist brothers have witnessed it. At just over 20 years old, you have already become an Earth Immortal and survived the thunder tribulation. It is really enviable."
"Today, all Taoist brothers are here to let you make a choice. One way is that you can abandon your cultivation and hand over the secret of becoming an Earth Immortal in a short time. We all promise not only not to harm you, but also to protect you. and the safety of your family.”
"And you still have the title of True Lord. Even if your life is up, you still won't be able to enjoy the divine status."
"Another path is to make you an enemy of the entire Taoist sect and the entire world. This path, I believe you have no chance of winning and is only a dead end. What's more, you drank our secret poisonous wine. You have some magic power. ?”
"Bah." Pei Ziyun let out a laugh and sighed: "Master Dao bought me a glass of wine because the Taoist sect was integrated because of Master Dao, and there will be some incestuous feelings for future generations, so I used this drink to write it off."
"You are simply talking nonsense. It doesn't matter whether I have the secret to becoming an earthly immortal. Even if I do, I won't leave it to you monsters. What's even more ridiculous is that you also represent the Taoist sect. How can you be so virtuous in the world?" Pei Ziyun sneered. .
The headmaster of the Donghua Sect's eyes turned cold: "Fellow Taoists, there is no need to talk nonsense with him. This person is obviously a toast rather than a fine drink. We can only show him the methods of our Taoist sect by killing him on the spot."
"Wait a minute, Taoist brothers, listen to me." The headmaster of Xuanfamen stepped out from the crowd and spoke slowly.
He saluted Pei Ziyun: "Zhenjun, I think you should be clear about the situation of the Taoist sect at this moment. Our Taoist sect is really weakened. Now you have overcome the thunder tribulation and achieved the sixth level of the Earth Immortal. In the not-too-distant future, you will also be Become a figure like Dao Lord."
"At this time, the Taoist sect really cannot afford another Taoist Lord. And as far as we know, with the strength of Songyun Sect, it is impossible to support the Chudixian. Therefore, we hope that the True Lord can sympathize with the hardships of the Taoist sect. Contribute the secret of becoming an Earth Immortal."
"The revitalization of our Taoist sect will be just around the corner. I hope Zhenjun will think twice."
"Are you done?" Pei Ziyun smiled. He had seen shamelessness, but he had never seen such a shameless person who could talk about robbery in such a high-sounding way.
"I told you not to talk nonsense with this beast, huh." The headmaster of the Donghua Sect sneered.
"Since the True Lord has chosen to be the enemy of the entire Taoist sect and the entire world, then we, the few of us, must practice Dao for Heaven and learn from the True Lord's clever tricks." Headmaster Pingtianguan said.
After saying that, the sect leaders lined up in all directions and vaguely surrounded Pei Ziyun.
Although they knew that the other party was only in his twenties and had drunk San Gong wine, no one dared to look down upon him. They all knew that to be able to rise so quickly and get close to Dao Lord in such a short period of time, he must have extraordinary means.
For a moment, the whole place fell silent, with only the whistling of the wind blowing by.
