Chapter 72 Passers-by (3)
Taichang Temple has long stipulated that it only kneels on heaven and earth, so even if you see the national master, you will not kneel on your knees, but bow your head.
But these hundreds of people were wearing white clothes with wide robes and big sleeves, and wearing hideous and ancient animal-patterned masks. They bowed to the end in silence and neatly. The scene was still spectacular, but the spectacular was filled with a sense of solemnity and awe. If each person twisted a few incense sticks, they would be here to sacrifice to the sky.
This scene is very grand to ordinary people, but it is nothing to Xue Xian. The reason why he is a little stunned is because he suddenly saw it too unexpectedly.
He paid little attention to the affairs of the court in the world, and was even more lazy to understand the official names and institutions that changed from time to time as the dynasty changed. After all, it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't feel that he saw the word "Taichang". However, from the dress of these hundreds of people, one or two of them could be deduced - they were probably people who specialized in priests and divination in the court.
He has lived for so long and has never seen such a posture, and he almost blurted out subconsciously: Is Qiuyu chasing him here?
However, before he could speak, Xuan Min, beside him, frowned and walked forward, and happened to block Xue Xian halfway behind him. He heard him holding Zhang Shuang's cold face, his eyes swept over him coldly and asked, "What's the point?"
What's the point of doing?
What's the point of doing??
At the front of the team, Taibu and Taizhu, who were just about to call the national teacher, were stunned and immediately left the spot.
However, they grew up in the court and did not lose their manners. The two of them kept bowing and turned their heads to look at each other, all of whom were full of shock and doubt.
Have you recognized the wrong person? It's impossible!
The body, temperament and walking posture are just like the national teacher. You can recognize him at a glance without even waiting for the other person to approach!
But what's going on with this sentence "What's the point of doing?"
Deliberately? Is it possible that there is something important to show your identity?
Taibu and Taizhu entered Taichang Temple in the same year, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts growing up together. Without asking around, there was still a tacit understanding. The two exchanged their eyes and reached an unanimous guess.
But as soon as this guess came out, a "hiss" sound suddenly came from hissing.
The two of them were stunned and saw a "hissing" sound. A flame appeared at some point next to Taibu's finger. The flame faded away in the blink of an eye, revealing the strips wrapped in the fire core.
This scenario is not unfamiliar to them. If the national teacher wants to convey any message, he often uses this method.
Logically speaking, Lin Ge, who was sent by Taibu, just left, no matter how hard he drove, he would never have arrived at Famen Temple. The only possibility is that the national master happened to have another order, but the time he sent it was too coincidental...
Taibu grabbed the folded paper with his backhand and glanced at the white figure opposite him quietly. He was about to spread it out, and behind him was another sound of birds flapping their wings.
"You have a letter." Tai Zhu turned around and took a look, raised his hand and took off the message from Lin Ge's feet who were rushing toward him.
The two looked at each other and then quickly looked down at the letter.
"The letter was written by Shaoqing, saying that it was reported by Huazhi County. It was said that someone in the county had seen a real dragon. The national master sent an order. Now Taichang Temple and the guardians of the outer courtyard of Tianji Court, who lived in the national master, set off on their way. Let us pay attention here first." Taizhu's voice was extremely low, but when he talked about "true dragon", he was still a little surprised, so that the tone was slightly higher. He hurriedly stopped and said the last sentence with Qiyin in extreme restraint: "Also, Shaoqing said that the national master has come out of seclusion and has other important things. He will come to meet us in three days."
The note sent by the national teacher was as concise as ever.
Taibu directly sent the spreading tissue paper under Taizhu's eyelids, and saw four words written on it: Do it cheaply. The signature is still the same as the lamp.
The two letters are one in front and one behind, but they are not long, but the message contained is quite confusing - someone in Huazhi County has seen a real dragon, why do everyone in Taichang Temple and Tianjiyuan come here? I have never been like this in the past. This attitude is a bit too unusual and makes people feel worried.
However, what Tai Zhu and Tai Bu care about the most is not this, but the national teacher has really come out of seclusion, and there are other important things...
The two couldn't help but be related to the current scene, and they just felt that their previous guess should be correct - the reason why the national teacher met but did not recognize each other should be because of other arrangements and hidden information.
Since this is the case, they should cooperate fully and smash the scene of the national teacher. Isn’t that boring to live?
"Do it cheap..." Tai Zhu muttered, wouldn't it take it cheap! The two of them quickly restrained their expressions, raised their heads, nodded at Xuan Min and Xue Xian standing opposite, and said, "A misunderstanding, we are afraid we have recognized the wrong person."
"Acknowledge the wrong person?" Xue Xian smiled lightly and dusted the dust that did not exist on the side of his robe. "Can you take this seriously?"
Although the two people were far apart, Xue Xian still heard them mention the word "true dragon". If the other party simply explained the purpose of the visit openly, he would not care much, but the other party looked up and said, "I admit my mistake." This is something worth pondering.
What kind of people need to hide themselves?
A person with ulterior motives.
Xue Xian has always been too lazy to think about the twists and turns in the mortal belly, but he has suffered a loss after all. When he saw such a hidden person, he couldn't help but think of his muscles and bones being thrust, and the smile on his face suddenly became even colder.
"We are blunt. The mountain road is bent. We have never looked at it carefully. We just misunderstood someone based on our appearance and made a joke." Tai Zhu said, and he didn't dare to look at Xuan Min for a long time, so he bowed to Xue Xian. "I hope Hai Han. Since you are on the way, we don't want to delay too much. Please-"
As he said that, he gestured to the long queue behind him.
The team of more than 100 people made way for both sides as if they were breaking through the waves and gave way to Xue Xian and Xuan Min.
Xue Xian snorted briefly, but didn't speak anymore, and just raised his foot and left.
He and Xuan Min really walked into the separate path. Both of them were ancestors who were not afraid of trouble, so they did not feel uncomfortable when walking on this path, with cold expressions and calm steps.
Before Xuan Min could get closer, Taibu and Taizhu lowered their eyes at the same time, just like seeing the national master in Taichang Temple, they didn't dare to look at it anymore. What's more, they seemed to have caused trouble now, so the scene was a little awkward, which almost went against the national master's wishes, so naturally they didn't dare to look up.
But the moment Xuan Min walked by, Tai Zhu's downward gaze moved a little, glanced at Xuan Min's drooping right hand, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
Apart from the moment they faced Xuan Min, they were a little unintentionally disobedient, but they performed properly afterwards, but they were not too respectful. They only glanced at Xue Xian for a few more times in the process, as if they were afraid that this person who didn't seem easy to mess with would find any flaws.
But the bad thing is that it is bad for these few glances. It may be difficult to spot others. Xue Xian has extremely sharp senses and is really easy to notice their eyes. He only felt that these people were almost wandering the words "unpredictable" on his face.
For a moment, he vaguely realized that there were other strange things, but before this idea came out, it was disturbed by the black bird on Xuan Min's shoulder.
The black bird was really not afraid of life. When he saw these people who were "dressed in mourning", he was not panicked. Instead, when Xue Xian squeezed to it, he spread his wings and flapped Xue Xian's shoulder.
Little beast!
As soon as Xue Xian glanced at it, he saw Xuan Min slapped it with a faint look on her.
This time it should be used to be fixed. After the black bird was photographed, it immediately became a coffin board on Xuan Min's shoulder, and it didn't move anymore. The two black beans glanced at Xuan Min with aggrieved look.
Xue Xian felt relieved immediately, and he was too lazy to think about how those people had "unpredictable intentions".
Taibu and Taizhu watched the two of them walk out of the corridor, pass by the last horse, and walk on the fork between the mountains ahead.
"Hu..." Tai Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he had a plan in his mind - in order not to hinder the national teacher, they had to pretend to go against the two of them, continue walking, and then look for a branch road from the front to circumnavigate, keeping a distance between them and not far and near to the national teacher so that they can appear in time when the national teacher needs it.
But before he could breathe to the end, he saw the thin and tall man in black next to the national teacher suddenly turned around and smiled at them.
The smile looked very beautiful and evil. It was filled with a cool smell, and it spread from the corner of the mouth that was hooked. It was too bullish and Taizhu and both were shocked.
Immediately afterwards, the storm and clouds above the entire Taichang Temple team changed suddenly. The originally vague sky light was instantly covered by the rolling black clouds. Then hundreds of white lights slashed straight from the black clouds without warning, and smashed on the ground with a shocking sound.
Each of them was almost against the toes, and swung around the entire crowd, forming a cage made of clouds and thunder.
I wish them a lot of life after so many years, and for the first time they tasted the taste of "people are tilted" and the whole team was in chaos. Every thunder was very tricky and would never hit them, but they always felt that they could not hide.
The clouds and thunders were smashing endlessly, as if they always ended at every end, and their ability was limited, so it would be impossible to escape from this cage in a short while.
So, when Taizhu reluctantly looked around in a mess, he found that the person he was planning to follow had long disappeared. Because of the dazzling lightning, he didn't even see which fork the two of them were walking towards.
Chapter completed!
