That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1151

The imperial city, after a previous "farce", lost the majesty of the imperial capital, and there were three enemies coming, and it was in a precarious situation, where would it still have the awe-inspiring and inviolable state it used to be.

However, with the quelling of the rebellion between King Yan and Fu Zhongtian, the Eldest Princess exercising the government and supervising the country, coupled with the pacification of the Northeast rebellion, the decline of the Jiangnan rebellion was evident, and the imperial capital returned to its former majesty in a short period of time. Whether you are in it or you are about to step into the city, you will feel an inexplicable pressure, as if the city is alive, standing between heaven and earth, overlooking all living beings, and when people look at it, they will give birth to themselves smallness.

At chen shi, the nine city gates of the imperial capital opened at the same time. At this time, outside the Zhengyang Gate, there were already people and merchants waiting to enter the city early, carrying loads, pushing carts, carrying baskets, and driving carts. Not daring to fight, consciously lined up and entered the city slowly. After all, it is not a peaceful time now, and the imperial capital is at the foot of the emperor, so the city gate inspection is quite strict. Anyone who does not obey the rules will not be allowed to enter the city, even I still have to eat prison food for a few days.

Among the crowd waiting to enter the city, there is a woman who is particularly eye-catching. She is wearing a simple white dress, like a monk's robe but not a monk's robe, like a Taoist robe but not a Taoist robe. , the style is also quite strange, it is not a married woman, nor is it a young girl to be married, nor is it a Taoist nun, which makes people really confused and unable to guess.

When the woman entered the city, the soldier guarding the gate couldn't help but take another look. When he saw a small bundle slanted across the woman's body, he frowned, and then pointed at the bundle with his scabbard.

The woman unhurriedly untied the burden behind her, and inside was a prayer wheel. This kind of thing is not common in the Central Plains, but it is common in the Western Regions of the grassland, whether it is in temples or for believers. There is this thing at home.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were used to seeing people and things from all over the world, so they naturally recognized this thing, and they didn't make things too difficult for the woman, so they got out of the way.

The woman entered the city slowly and looked around, as if it was the first time she came to this most powerful city in the world.

In fact, this is indeed the first time she has come to the imperial capital. In the past few decades, she has been staying on the Daxue Mountain, even though she was exiled in the Central Plains because of Taoism, and intersected with the former owner of this great city It is very true, but she still returned to the grassland before that person ascended the throne, so she has never had a relationship with this city.

If it wasn't for that young junior who tried his best to invite her, she might never set foot here in her entire life.

This woman was Qiu Si who came to the imperial capital at the invitation of Xu Beiyou. This time she left Molun Temple and came here alone, and she didn't make a big fuss, so it could be said that she was silent.

As for the prayer wheel in the bundle behind her, it is the second only treasure in the entire Molun Temple after the Great Sun Seal Wheel. Every time a believer goes on a pilgrimage to the Molun Temple, he will try to turn this prayer wheel. After thousands of years, It actually condensed the Buddhist vows of more than half of the grassland. When the Taoists attacked the Molun Temple, they also wanted to take it away, but Mr. Fu, Fu Chen and the yellow bird were behind him, and when Fu Chen died in Xiao Yu's body After the Emperor's sword fell, the object fell into Xiao Yu's hands.In the end, Xiao Yu returned it to Qiu Si.

This time Qiu Si brought it out, naturally to help Xu Beiyou. While returning Xu Beiyou's favor, it can also be regarded as making up for Xiao Yu's love for returning this thing back then.

Qiu Si walked slowly on the central axis road that divided the imperial capital into two. At this moment, she could faintly feel that the majestic sword intent that had been covering this majestic city before had faded a lot. Return to the imperial city.

……

Since the Daoist sect helped the Xiao family win the world, there is a saying that there are two capitals in the world at the same time as the two sages in the world. One is the imperial capital where His Majesty the emperor lives, and the other is the Xuandu where the real head teacher lives.

The so-called Xuandu is located on Dutian Peak, the head of the nine Taoist peaks. In addition to Sanqing Palace, Zixiao Palace, and Patriarch Hall, there are five halls and twelve pavilions, because Dutian Peak is the number one peak in the world. It is the closest place in the world to the sky, so Xuandu also has the saying of Baiyujing in the sky.

In the past hundred years, when Xuandu was at its peak, it was said to have thirty great masters.In Taoism, only Earth Immortal cultivators are eligible to obtain the title of Great Daoist. The Daoist Sect has thirty Dazhengs, which means that there are thirty Earth Immortal cultivators in Taoism. You must know the total number of Earth Immortal cultivators in the world. There were only about a hundred people, and the Taoist family accounted for three-tenths, and together with the Daqi court, the two accounted for more than half.

It's just that Taoism and Xuandu are no longer as grand as they used to be. The death of nearly ten Daoist people, even Taoism, will hurt their muscles and bones, and their vitality will be severely damaged. The culprit of all this is precisely that one person. So he supported the master of a sword sect.As a result, the three words Xu Beiyou have almost become a taboo that cannot be easily put into mouth in today's Taoism.

However, there are fewer people and fewer people. At least there are fewer fights. Originally, for a head disciple, it was a three-family confrontation, but with the death of Old Man Wuyun, his faction disappeared. In this matter, Tianyun violated the taboo of the real head teacher, and even though he had the support of the elders of the peak master, the situation was still declining, and the last remaining Bai Yunzi became the best candidate to take over as the head teacher.

Today's Bai Yunzi can be said to be proud of his spring breeze. Not only can he usually issue orders on behalf of his master, but this time the matter with Wei Guo has also been entrusted to him by his master, which makes him feel a bit like "the prince supervises the country". He became more and more convinced that the head teacher would be in his pocket.

How about Qi Xianyun?You have already ruined your reputation. If the masters of the peaks and pavilions do not support you, if you try to compete for the position of head teacher, you will only become the laughing stock of the world.

What about dust leaves?The Demon Suppressing Hall was slaughtered by the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, and the first chief deacon Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun directly defected from the Taoist sect and joined the Sword Sect. He, the Sect Master of the Suppressing Demon Hall, cannot escape the blame, and it is a great achievement to be able to keep his current status. Luckily, if he wanted to go one step further, he would not even think about being the master peak leader who monopolized the power of the Taoist sect like his uncle Tianchen master back then. From this point of view, he really wanted to thank the master Jianzong.

As for senior brother Tian Yun, it is even more insignificant that he has lost his "Sacred Heart".

Every time he thinks of this, even with Bai Yunzi's self-cultivation and energy-cultivating skills, a smile will appear on the corner of his mouth.

Today, Bai Yunzi, dressed as a Daoist, followed the usual routine, holding a stack of thick documents in both hands, and came to the gate of Zixiao Palace. Walking all the way to the end, he put the Chinese book in his hand on a horizontal table next to the wall, and then bowed respectfully to the empty seat: "Master."

Qiu Ye's voice sounded from all directions, "Is there any news from Chen Ye?"

Bai Yunzi lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyelids, looked at his cloud shoes protruding from the black Taoist robe, and replied: "According to the news from Wei State, it seems to be in the area of ​​36 Islands in the East China Sea. Madam specially flew swords for this purpose." Send a letter, please master to decide."

Qiu Ye's voice fell silent, and after a long time he said, "Send Du Hai Chan over there, and we must find Chen Ye."

Bai Yunzi responded respectfully, "I will obey Master's decree."
