I am the main soul in the soul banner

Chapter 996 Yuan Rong

Arrange for Taijing and Junior Sister to stay.

The Yama Temple was built on a huge scale, and two more people were like water drops falling into a lake, without causing any ripples.

Of course, this move is indeed suspicious.

Even Emperor Tang An and Xuan Nan were not allowed to stay, so how could the brothers and sisters from Taiyi Sect be allowed to stay?

However, with Zhang Yajiu as the premise, and Taijing putting on a full show, saying that he was shameless and insisted on staying, perhaps he could conceal it for a while and would not arouse suspicion from the cultivators of the Ancient Immortal Tower.

Paper wrapped fire.

Tu Shanjun didn’t think he could keep it secret for long.

As long as we can use the time difference to send Taijing and Junior Sister away in advance, we can deal with the Ancient Immortal Tower and Shangqing Taoist with peace of mind.

Shou He bowed and said, "Old Immortal."

"How's the matter going at the blacksmith shop?"

Shou He smiled and said, "With the intervention of King Hui, the voices of doubt have disappeared without a trace."

Shou He, with a dark and ordinary face, pondered and said, "There are more and more foreigners recently. I also saw two of them in Zhang's blacksmith shop. The older one is a refined young man with a sword case on his back and a little girl with him. I guess he should be similar to the Buddhist master I met that day. He looks friendly."

He had no idea about these disciples from the major sects. Even though Bu Zanghua had told him about Middle-earth, it seemed more like another legendary world to him.

It is definitely impossible to say that I don't yearn for it, but after all, we are separated by the inside and the outside, and it always feels like it's real.

Especially in the dead of night, he couldn't help but begin to doubt its truth.

Which side is true and which side is false.

Or is it both true and false?

No one could explain it for him.

"Anything on your mind?"

A ethereal and hoarse voice came.

"Have."

Shou He sighed, confusion flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Two days ago, I heard the county magistrate say that the court was dealing with changes and that there might be a major event like a sky collapse. I didn't understand, so I asked the county magistrate what it was. If the sky really collapsed, what would we... and all the people in Wanning County do?"

The bluish-white ghost hand paused slightly.

Where to go?

Tu Shanjun didn't know either.

But this sentence does hit the point.

If Lord Yan escapes and the forbidden land of the gods collapses, what should these mortals do? Will they be taken over by the Wanfa Sect like the Xiaodongtian before, and then stabilize and continue their previous lives, or will most of them become cultivators and disperse into the Middle-earth, or simply live in the Yuanyang Region.

Tu Shanjun looked at the capital in the distance, with a strange look in his eyes. The imperial power in the capital was not as bad as he had imagined. He said calmly, "Your destiny is in your own hands."

Shou He looked at the old immortal sitting opposite the desk in surprise.

He thought the old immortal would tell him to listen to the officials in the court and the emperor on the throne.

In the old immortal's eyes, he saw a kind of calmness.

There is no difference between emperors, generals and ordinary people.

It is better to say that mortals and monks are treated equally.

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

"Do you think you are tall or short?" Tu Shanjun looked at Shou He who was bowing his head in thought.

"I don't know whether I am tall or short, I just think I should try my best."

"What if trying your best doesn't work?"

"Then fight hard!"

"Is it not enough to try your best?"

Shou He laughed and said, "Let's wait until the final conclusion."

"At least, I should be able to open the first page of the family tree alone."

"Don't you want to return to your roots?"

Shou He was silent for a while, then he slowly said: "Which ancestor should I recognize and which clan should I belong to?"

……

"Your Majesty, I respectfully ask for your blessing!"

A thin, dark-skinned official in court robes knelt on the ground.

Salute respectfully.

There is nothing wrong with the whole set of etiquette.

However, the official uniform he was wearing clearly meant that he didn't need to be so fussy. The blue official robe was enough to prove the man's important position in the court.

"I'm safe."

The middle-aged man sitting on the dragon throne behind the pearl curtain had a loud and powerful voice.

"I love your life."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Take a seat."

The young eunuch hurriedly brought a chair for the official.

The officials sat down next to each other.

He had no idea what the emperor meant by summoning him to the palace. If the emperor was discussing matters, the ministers would come there. As a third-rank minister of rites, he was the second-in-command, but in fact he was still one level away from being the real core.

He didn't dare to ask, and just waited anxiously and confusedly.

The curtain was opened by the chief eunuch.

The true appearance of the middle-aged man sitting on the dragon throne is revealed.

The official hurriedly bowed his head.

The middle-aged man sitting on the dragon throne is the current emperor Yuan Rong.

Yuanrong has the talent of a dragon and phoenix.

He has a pair of sharp eyes like the vertical eyes of a dragon beast, a short beard, and looks quite young.

For warriors, anyone who makes progress in their practice will have a longer lifespan. It is said that a first-rate warrior with strong qi and blood can live for two hundred years without dying.

Yuan Rong asked with a smile: "I heard that Lord Shou has a half-brother who works in Wanning County."

Shoucheng was suddenly shocked.

He tried his best to distance himself from the brother he had never met.

If the old man hadn't insisted on seeing her before he left, he probably wouldn't have sent anyone to look for her.

Fortunately, the other party had a great reputation in the world and was found quickly.

Then the old man in the family arranged a constable from Wanning County.

He is an official of neither high nor low rank.

That man was a man of sensible business, and he never came back since that time.

Shou Cheng was very satisfied with this. Although this person was a gangster, he was not a fool, nor was he a rogue who insisted on sticking to them.

After getting what he deserved, he never came again. He still has some backbone.

"Your Majesty, that's right."

Shoucheng didn't dare to hide it and admitted it with his hands raised.

"I dare not be ignorant of state affairs, family affairs, and world affairs."

Yuan Rong smiled and put away the arc of his mouth, and said calmly: "The people of the Shou family are all loyal ministers. Wanning County is peaceful and stable under his governance. He is a rare talent. If I were not so busy, I would really like to meet him."

Shoucheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the man had committed something serious that would alarm His Majesty.

I heard that the man is quite powerful and is one of the best in the martial arts world. However, even with that kind of strength, he cannot be compared with the imperial court.

Any master from the palace can cause a bloody storm in the martial arts world.

Since it was not a wrong thing, Shoucheng had a clear mind and spoke without any empty words.

"It is the duty of a subject to be loyal to His Majesty."

"I heard that my brother built a temple in Xishan."

"It's true."

"The temple priest has a good personal relationship with Shou He."

Shoucheng frowned slightly.

He was thinking wrong.

Yuan Rong ignored Shou Cheng's deep thoughts and changing expression and continued, "The temple keeper is a monk from another place."

"I think the third child has some talent, so I want to send him to the temple to learn some skills."

Shoucheng's eyes froze, his heart full of doubts. Since it was King Hui who built the temple, why didn't His Majesty use King Hui's connections, but instead let himself come forward?

Moreover, although foreign monks seem very rare to the common people, there are actually quite a few in the palace, and there are also many monks in the major royal palaces.

It is not easy for these little princes to find someone to learn Taoism from.

He couldn't ask.

The more you know about the considerations, the more troublesome it becomes.

It's just a matter of cramming one person in.

"I will try my best."

Shoucheng bowed again.

"I am waiting for your good news."

……

Send off Shoucheng.

A young child walked out from the side and bowed, saying, "Father, I have the Grand Tutor to teach me. The monks from the temples are definitely not as good as the Grand Tutor."

Yuan Rong looked at the ambitious child, smiled and shook his head, saying, "You guessed wrong this time. The master that your father found for you is extraordinary. As the temple keeper, he has the best chance to get in touch with the temple master."

"Do you know who is worshipped in that temple?"

"My son, I don't know."

"The temple enshrines this divine sky."

Yuan Rong did not explain anything more for his son.

The third brother was carefully selected by him, and he himself was not sure whether he could succeed, but it was enough as long as this signal was passed on.

……

Shoucheng didn't know how he walked out of the palace.

I went in daze and came out daze.

Sitting in the sedan chair returning to the mansion, Shoucheng thought over and over again, but he really couldn't figure out the emperor's purpose.

"master."

"Your Majesty invites you into the palace so late?"

"Ah."

Shoucheng sat down and took a sip of tea. He looked at the sky and it was already dusk. He couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and changed his court dress into casual clothes. He said, "Prepare some gifts for me. I'm going to visit someone."

"Who?"

"Whether the official is high or low."

Shoucheng said, "The old man's son."

"Your half-brother?"

"Yes."

"What did he do? Did he commit a crime?"

"No, women should not interfere. This time I have an important request." When Shou Cheng heard his wife say this, he immediately understood the family's attitude towards the eldest brother and quickly gave him a warning.

This time, His Majesty has entrusted him with a task. If he fails, he will probably have to stay in this position for the rest of his life.

"Don't ask any more questions, just do it quickly."

Shoucheng's wife realized the seriousness of the problem and hurried over to make preparations.

Shoucheng took the gifts and got on the carriage.

……

"Marshal, there is someone at the door asking to see you."

Shou He, who was packing up, was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Huzi shook his head slightly: "His manager insisted on seeing you."

"I think that carriage belongs to a rich or noble person. There must be an important person sitting in it."

"Big man?"

Shou He looked suspicious. He didn't seem to know any important person. But since the person had come to his door, he couldn't refuse. He raised his head and said, "Please let him in."

Putting down the things in his hands and the Blood God Halberd that he had already carried on his back, Shou He sat back in the commander's seat.

I was flipping through the documents I had already reviewed when I saw a tall, thin, middle-aged man step through the threshold.

When he saw the other person, Shou He was a little dazed, as if he saw someone.

I immediately knew the other person's identity.

So he stood up and said, "Shou Sir."

The man who came was Shou Cheng. Shou Cheng smiled and said, "You and I are half-brothers, so there is no need to be so polite. Otherwise, I would have to bow and call you Marshal."

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

Shou He acted in a businesslike manner and said calmly, "I don't know what it is that requires you to come in person."

late.
