With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 56 I have to go out and take a look

It is very simple to leave the capital.

Li Zhen is a genius in martial arts.

As long as Zhao Shenyue doesn't take action, no one can stop him.

But things cannot be viewed so simply.

Although he seemed to have nothing to do with anything these years, he had always stayed in the Chuixiang Tower.

However, in the world of mortals.

Who can be so pure?

If Li Zhen can really do what is written in the book.

Words that are spotless and transcendent.

Come to think of it, he is no longer who he is now.

Tiandu Peak.

Li Zhen saw all things again.

I don’t know what Zhao Shenyue did.

His mental problems, which were prone to falling ill at every turn, were suppressed.

But because of this, this boy who was always talkative became taciturn.

He was also timid when meeting Li Zhen.

The crazy momentum of climbing Xianming Mountain alone was gone.

"Is the eldest princess here?"

Wan Wan raised his head and looked at him silently, then nodded.

Then, he lowered his head again.

Time and time again, he waved the broom in his hand to sweep the spotless ground.

"How could a good person become like this?"

Shake his head.

This is the first time Li Zhen has dealt with this in recent years.

The mysterious place of martial arts that frequently appears in his sight: Xiantian Palace.

Sincerely, there was some disgust.

Pass through the Taoist palace courtyard and reach the top of the mountains.

Zhao Shenyue wore a thin Taoist robe with her back to him.

Sitting on a protruding bluestone.

The clothes are fluttering, like an immortal coming to the dust.

"How has Zhao Shenyue cultivated over the years?"

"Why are you becoming more and more like an ordinary person?"

If you hadn't seen the person beforehand.

If you close your eyes, you probably won't even notice her presence.

I muttered something in my mind, thinking to myself.

But he didn’t feel too entangled, he kneaded his seals and prayed, and said softly:
  "Li Zhen is visiting."

"If you want to drink the immortal tea, leave the capital."

"I come here to say goodbye to the eldest princess."

Long silence.

Just when he thought Zhao Shenyue had fallen asleep.

Her voice floated from the front.

"understood."

Nothing to follow.

Li Zhen understood and didn't say much.

Turn around and go down to Tiandu Peak.

Your immediate boss has taken care of it, and you can leave anytime you want.

But before he left, he still had some things to do.

Li Zhen went to the Dragon King Temple.

Counting the time, since I took a look back then.

He has not been here for more than ten years.

I thought it would be after a war.

This place is deserted, dilapidated, and the incense has faded.

But what he didn't expect was.

Far from it.

And it seems that it is even more prosperous than it was back then.

Make your way through the crowds and into the center of the temple.

The clay sculptures at that time were replaced by bronze statues covered with gold foil.

The temple blessing is still the same as before.

It's just that he is also old.

He was stooped and leaning on a cane.

Still guarding the box next to the incense money.

The only thing that didn't change was his disgust with those pilgrims who didn't pay tribute.

Listen to the people around you.

The reason why the Dragon King Temple was not destroyed in the war.

The biggest reason is that this temple minister seems to be greedy and stingy.

It was him who was in turmoil in the capital that year.

Open the temple door wide to protect one side.

It not only provides a place for ordinary people who have suffered from war.

It also took more than ten years to save up to prepare the incense money for the Dragon King to build a golden body.

It was used to provide food to those who took refuge in the temple and to fight off the rebels.

Later the war passed.

People thanked him for his kindness and donated money and efforts.

The temple was repaired and the Dragon King was given a golden body.

After listening to these stories.

Li Zhen's eyes changed when he looked at the temple minister.

He knew that he was judging people by their appearance. I thought that by quietly watching the changes in the world in the Chuixiang Tower, I would have understood everything.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, he would be taught a lesson.

Burned incense.

Put the little money you have left in the incense box as tuition.

Li Zhen faced Laomiao Zhu's satisfied smile and stepped out of the door.

I don’t know what it will be like next time I come back.

But he sincerely hopes.

Everything, don't change things.

Following the official road, Li Zhen entered the palace.

Zhao Qing doesn't like to be restrained by nature, and only uses this place as a place to handle daily government affairs.

So even though more than two years have passed.

The former palace still looks like a big construction site.

It is still being tinkered with, and I don’t know when it will be completed.

Because of this, the guards in the palace were not very strict.

Li Zhen got in easily.

Feel free to walk around and take a look.

While satisfying your curiosity.

He would also stop passing eunuchs and ask them if they knew who Zhao Gao was.

Although everyone who was stopped was surprised that he was dressed as a Taoist priest.

But it is always better to ask less about things in the palace.

There was no doubt that anyone pointed out the location to him.

Along the way, Li Zhen was surprised to find.

The place where Zhao Gao lives now seems to be the place where the old eunuch lived.

Feel the wonder of fate.

Through the open window, he saw Zhao Gao's figure.

He is reading.

And it seemed a little laborious, and his brows became tangled from time to time.

Li Zhen felt interesting.

Unexpectedly, even after entering the palace, he did not forget to enrich himself by reading in his spare time.

Such efforts are rare.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Zhao Gao suddenly raised his head.

Seeing Li Zhen's figure, he was immediately stunned:

"Daozhang Li, why are you here?"

Li Zhen smiled slightly and explained:

"I'm going to leave the capital for a while. I came to see how you are before I leave."

Zhao Gao was a little surprised.

It seemed that he didn't expect that Li Zhen could still remember him.

He knew Li Zhen's abilities and didn't ask much about how he entered the palace.

He quickly welcomed him in and made a pot of tea.

But when the two sat down, they fell into silence again.

There are obviously thousands of words in my heart, but at this moment, it's hard to say a word.

He held back the tears from falling from his red eyes.

Keep repeating:
  It's going well, it's going well.

The bruises on his arms flashed across his vision.

Li Zhen understood that his situation might not be good.

Picking up the book on the table.

He was shocked to find that it turned out to be a martial arts technique that Zhao Gao had abandoned in the past.

Looking at him who was a little embarrassed, Li Zhen smiled.

He didn't leave in a hurry and gave him some pointers casually.

Until nightfall.

He just walked out of the palace under the moonlight.

Finally, I looked back and gazed at the majestic palace in the dusk.

Li Zhen frowned, feeling a little confused.

power, status.
  Is it really that important to a person?
  Is it important enough to give up dignity or even life?

Li Zhen didn't understand.

But maybe, it's also because he doesn't understand.

So many years have passed.

He clearly has transcendent martial arts and an excellent opportunity.

He is still the same, maybe it's just because he is a little bookkeeper.

"Compared with these things in the world, this is what a poor man wants in his life."

Take one last look at this place that countless people dream of entering.

With a firm word in my heart, I drifted away.

"Only Immortality!"

Early the next morning.

Li Zhen left the martial arts he had learned over the years to nature.

He told her to keep an eye on the books in the building while he was away.

If you have any problem, you can go to Zhao Shenyue.

Then, there were only a few bamboo baskets carrying Taoist scriptures on my back.

A water hyacinth is held across the waist.

Bamboo stick and mango shoes, leaving the city briskly.

On this trip, go northwest.

Go see the desert and see the snow-capped mountains.

Likewise, go and see things you can’t see in Beijing~
  The scenery of the world!
