The Great Doorway of Daoism

Chapter 69: Qingyuan Yuehou

In the hinterland of the Central Plains, there is a dynasty named dust.

The original owner of the body was surnamed Yue, named Yue Jing, and he was twenty to five years old. Father Yue Ye, an official named General Pingnan, bestowed the rank of Marquis of Qingyuan, hereditary. He has his brother Yue Jia, who is ten years old and is now Pingnan Daying Dutong. Because his brother has not been formally canonized, everyone usually treats him as Xiaohouye.

The dust dynasty was founded less than a hundred years ago. The ancestors started their business in troubled times and passed on to the fourth generation. After ascending to the throne, he was named Qingyun and was called Qingyun Emperor in history.

Qing Yundi relied on the power of his mother to succeed when he was ten years old, which led to the great power of the later party. After he became an adult, he worked hard to cultivate his own power. Qingyuanhou was the backbone.

Qingyuan Hou Yueye’s father was the king of Huinan County, and his surname was not hereditary, and he has long passed away. Yue Ye’s title and official position were all based on martial arts.

Due to its location in the Central Plains, the Chen Dynasty was surrounded by countries, the Heng Dynasty to the north, the Jing Dynasty to the south, the Alien Kingdom to the west, and the country to the east called Wenlan Empire.

The surrounding borders are all unstable, and wars are stopped, and there are often large and small wars. Therefore, the dust dynasty established the country by force, and most of the pro-king kingdoms took turns to guard the border. Only the south was guarded by the Qingyuan marquis for a long time.

The dust dynasty set the capital of Zhongping Ancient City. Due to frequent foreign wars, the court looks quite peaceful. Everything is first to defend the territories and open up frontiers. In fact, undercurrents are surging inside. The forces of the post-party, imperial party, and centrists in various departments and counties are intertwined and constrained each other.

After years of war, the treasury has seen emptiness, and there are signs of debacle in the government. It is only because the dust dynasty is vast and crowded and rich in resources. Only high-level officials can know the decline. On the surface, it is still a situation of singing and dancing.

Another feature is that the establishment of the country by force has caused the various major factions in the arena to be snatched by all forces, which has become one of the important weights in the struggle.

Qingyuan Hou Mansion has always been known for its harmony. Yue Hou Ye and his son Yue Jia have been stationed at the border for a long time, but Yue Jing is not in a difficult situation like many other sons of the prince’s family. Although his biological mother died of dystocia when he gave birth to him, the Hou Ye and his eldest brother Yue Jia treated him very well, and can even be said to be pampering. His label on the outside is a little bit weak and introverted, literary and not fond of martial arts.

Recently, a major event that shocked the ruling and opposition parties occurred. That is, when Ye Ye Hou Ye entered Beijing for routine resignation, he was locked up and detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice when he entered the capital before he returned to the Hou Mansion. He was charged with traitor to the enemy. It’s a letter.

is full of ups and downs.

Everyone knows that Qingyuanhou has always been regarded by Emperor Qingyun as his right-hand man and minister, and is the mainstay of the imperial party. I don’t know why Emperor Qingyun decided to ruin the Great Wall this time and personally ordered the imperial army to arrest it. It is really incredible.

What is even more strange is that, apart from arresting people, blocking the Hou Mansion, and detaining the young master Yue Jia and the second son Yue Jing in the Pingnan Camp, the whereabouts of the young master Yue Jia and the second son Yue Jing are unknown, no other people have been involved, and even Yue Ye is only involved. He was taken into custody without appointing any relevant functions such as the Ministry of War and Criminal to interrogate and convict, and there was no news of who was going to take over the Pingnan Camp.

Although there has been no major war in various places recently, this move is still very puzzling. The Manchu dynasty civil and military talked a lot, jumping up and down to inquire about the news, but were not convinced. Due to the sudden incident, rumors are also everywhere among the people, and the surrounding four countries are also reported to be secretly reported, and they are all waiting for opportunities.

Dark clouds covered the capital for a while, and all forces were secretly trying to figure out the holy intentions, and they stepped up communication in private, and watched when the imperial chamber and the posterior party will have the next move, so as to make timely response to this major event that affects the court structure. .

In the afternoon of the day of the incident, Yue Jing was studying in the study of the Hou Mansion. He followed Zhu Chongba and his guard Zhu Jiaoqi and ran in in a panic and pulled him into a secret tunnel, saying that Lord Hou was arrested and the Yulin Army was closing the mansion. Taking people, the mistress Cai ordered them to take Yue Jing away immediately.

The three of them passed through a long tunnel, and the exit was in a small mountain village outside the city. After they came out, Zhu Chongba led five horses. The three of them hurried on the road. After changing horses for a night, they met in an unknown place. The secret power Darkmoon Guardian under Ye’s cloth.

Fifty people galloped non-stop. After passing a pass, somehow they were intercepted and killed by nearly a hundred people from nearby Phantom Gun Gate. The round of killing came to the border.

This is the main line situation. Hua Lanting then carefully sorted out all the details in Yue Jing’s memory in his mind, and kept it in his heart. Although there are still many mysteries unsolved, he finally has a basic understanding of the ins and outs of this world and identity.

He then opened the piece of paper Zhu Chongba gave him. The drawing on the paper was a simple map and some text descriptions. It appeared to be the address and joint code word of a treasure secret.

At this point, Hualanting breathed out a long breath, the lack of aura in this world was turbid, which made him very uncomfortable who was accustomed to the air of Shuxuanxianzhou.

He weighed his own cultivation base, and it really dropped a lot as Mu Weizheng said. He was probably about to break through the Rendu Second Channel and break through to the One Yuan Recovery Realm, but all his martial arts were still there.

Zhu Chongba said that Lin Juju was the top master of the Tiangong Bureau’s Skilled Engineering Department, and based on his level of ability to easily kill Lin Juju and his judgment on the master of the magic spear gate, the three evil swords, and the martial arts of the dark moon guard, he After the fusion with the physical body, the level of force in this world is more than self-preserving, but I don’t know how it compares with the top masters.

He raised his eyes and looked around. There were two roads in front of him. According to what we know, this place is located at the junction of the Chen Dynasty and the Daqi Kingdom. One road can lead to the southern part of the Chen Dynasty along the border, and the other road is the road to the Daqi country. Where to go?

It would be good if Lin Xian was shocked here. He is a little proficient in the arts, and he can make a decision. Now he can only decide on his own to stop.

The nominal eldest brother Yue Jia is currently in the Pingnan camp and his own blessings are unknown. If he joins him by himself, the two can join hands, but they are not familiar with military affairs, and the Pingnan camp should be the power of the Qingyuan Hou. It may not be of great help.

And the meaning of this map should be to get in touch with the hidden powers and get treasures, as a backing for the future, whether it is Zhaoxue’s injustice or the anti-dust dynasty, people and wealth are indispensable, then oneself is still the former Go to Daqi country.

As for hiding and staying alive, Hua Lanting didn’t think much about it. Since it’s an experience, you can’t get out of the world like a tortoise. There is always something to do.

Although he does not have a sense of belonging to this world right now, even for the reason of revenge for the dead Darkmoon Guardian, he has to go for a break and play himself in this setting that seems to involve family and national feuds. character of.

After finishing his calculations, he found a mountain stream to wash, cleaned up his clothes, hid the flying claws, packed up the hidden weapons collected on the next road, carried the heavy sword on his back, and walked along the road leading to the Great Difference.

Now, he is Yue Jing, the second son of the Qingyuan Hou from the dust dynasty who fled to Daqi, alias Hualanting.

After walking for half a day, after crossing the plain, a river appeared in front of him with a stone bridge, and a city surrounded by mountains on the other side of the river. Before Hualanting climbed the bridge to cross the river and came to the city gate, there were three words engraved on the city gate: Baowan City.

Entering the city gate, the city is small but very noisy. People come and go, and there are people of all colors. There are people with high noses and deep eyes, Mongolians in leather clothes with chest hair, and those with earrings and nose rings. There are other people of different races, and there are also Han.

Hua Lan Ting was not surprised. According to Yue Jing’s memory, the Huns, Jurchens, Uighurs, Dangxiang, Mongolians and other ethnic groups in Daqi live together with Han people. Among them, the Huns are powerful and have gained a dominant position. The royal court is located in the capital of Daqi.

Although the Huns relied on force to suppress other ethnic groups to establish their country, other ethnic groups were different from their races and beliefs, and were difficult to live in peace with each other, and they often fought. , There are wins and losses for each other, but it is always the reason why they cannot continue to advance eastward.

Hualanting walked forward, planning to pass through the city.

In the afternoon, he came to a temple with the words Yuanjue Zen Temple written on the plaque at the door. The pedestrians said it was a newly built temple. The monk in the temple seemed to have something to do with the city lord.

He hasn’t seen a Buddhist temple since his first crossing. He was interested at this moment and walked to the gate of the mountain thinking of going in.

An old man was begging with a girl at the door. Both of them had worn-out clothes and gray-headed faces. Although the girls had gray marks on their faces, they couldn’t hide the fairness and tenderness of the skin and the dark and agile eyes.

Hua Lanting was about to climb up the stairs, and shouts came from behind: “Go away, get away quickly for me, the lord of the city and his wife go to Yuanjue Temple to pray for blessings, and the idlers wait to give way!”

Hualan Court flashed aside, and saw dozens of armored soldiers approaching with two sedan chairs. As soon as the sedan pole fell, the first person who came out was a fat man dressed in official uniforms with big ears, round and stubby, and then a middle-aged woman with a pink face and a beaded head.

Hua Lan Ting quietly asked the passer-by next to him: “Man, if you ask, why is the city lord a Han?”

Passer-by B behind Passer-by A rushed and replied in a low voice: “Brother is from outside, you don’t know, here Daqi and Chen Dynasty fought for several times. In the most recent battle, Zhou Papi, who was guarded by Chen Dynasty, It was the master of Zhou Qingfeng. He turned his head and slaughtered the city with the Huns, so he was rewarded as the lord of the city. This man was extremely greedy for money, and he was given the nickname Zhou Papi.”

The passer-by stabbed him and said: “You don’t say a few words, it’s too long.”

At this time, a few monks came out at the temple gate. The head of the monk was dressed in a big red robe. His brain was full of fat, his face was greasy, his temples were raised high, his hands clasped together, and he smiled and said: “Amitabha, the poor monk lives his life. Zhou City Lord Haihan.”

Dushou and Zhou Papi, who have a fat belly, rolled together like two leather **** with legs. They didn’t know they thought they were twin brothers.

Hua Lanting noticed that Zhou Qingfeng’s eyes swept over the begging girl, and then he winked secretly at a guard next to him. The guard understood, and when someone entered, the guard pointed at the two beggars to drink. : “You two, sneaky snooping on the path that adults must pass. I suspect you are spies from the Chen Dynasty. Come, take it down first, go back and interrogate.”

The soldiers on both sides could not help but say that they stepped forward to arrest people. How could they be able to beat the wolf-like soldiers when they were struggling desperately, they were taken into the temple.

No one dared to control the surrounding people. When Hua Lan Ting first arrived, he frowned, but did not immediately attack.

After 　　 waited for all the city lord and his party to enter, Hualan Ting and other Buddhist worshipers were allowed to enter.

Hua Lanting went in and took a look at www.readwn.com The temple was small but well-equipped. He passed through the Hall of Heavenly Kings to the Daxiong Hall. He was stopped by soldiers at the door. Inside, the city lord and his wife were kneeling down to worship the Bodhisattva, and the city lord’s wife took one after the worship In the end of his life, he exaggeratedly exclaimed: “A good sign, a good sign, although it is dusty, but the heart is always clean. This sentence comes from the Yuanjue Sutra, indicating that the Lord of the city is working for the country and the people, and his heart is clear and peaceful. It is really true. I have a predestined relationship with my Buddha and Bi Temple.”

The two talked and walked out. Just as Hua Lan Ting was about to wait for them to pass into the hall, they heard someone shouting above their heads: “Kill the dog official Zhou, avenge his relatives and people!”

Hua Lan Ting looked up, and a dozen figures appeared on the top of the main hall, holding a bow and arrow and it was a rain of arrows splashing down.

Some of the officers and soldiers fell to the ground with an arrow hitting them. There was chaos. Some guards shouted: “There are assassins, protect the adults!”

The assassin on the top of the palace has excellent shooting skills and has not hurt innocent others. At this time, the guards outside the temple gate began to rush in when they heard the sound. The people on the top of the temple jumped off their bows. Eight or nine people went out to block the soldiers coming in. The others went straight to Zhou Qingfeng, who was being protected.

When a strong man held a meteor chain hammer in each hand, he danced with great prestige, and immediately two soldiers broke and fell to the ground.

Zhou Qingfeng yelled after seeing him, “Lu Mantian, it is your trapped Longshan bandit who is still in the shadows. Do you think I don’t know you will come? You can’t leave today.”

At this time, the people all ran away clean, and more and more soldiers came in.

The innermost layer is Zhou Qingfeng, eight close guards, and six or seven assassins, and out there are Dushou and two monks, as well as the two beggars who were caught, and Hua Lanting and Hua Lan Ting who were not in a hurry to avoid A man with a pockmarked face, the outermost layer is eight or nine assassins and more than twenty soldiers.
