Chapter 110 Shangqing Palace
Today's fifth update, the third update.
——————————————————————————————
The onlookers on the street saw the disciples of Shangqing Palace leaving, and in a blink of an eye, they walked clean.
Liu Xia resisted Tianquan on his shoulder and walked towards Xuanjing.
Xuanjing bit her lips, her heart was like hitting a deer. Her pretty face blushed slightly, and she didn't dare to raise her head.
"Thank you for your help. Xuanjing is very grateful."
With that, he was going to salute Liu Xia.
Liu Xia hurriedly returned the salute, "It's not enough to raise your hand. Let's take a look at your brother's injury first.
Two people entered the Tongfu Inn. The shopkeeper looked at the mess in the hall with a sad frown and was cleaning up there.
"Xiao Er, come here."
The shopkeeper walked over with his head down.
Liu Xia took out an ingot of silver from her arms and handed it to him, "Is this enough for your loss?"
Xiao Er was stunned. The ingot was full of fifty taels of silver. At that moment, he frowned and smiled and said, "Enough is enough."
"Go get a basin of water and send it to my room."
"Okay, the little one will do it immediately."
The second child of the store went to the kitchen happily.
Liu Xia carried the unconscious Yuan Jingzi to her shoulder and sent him to his room on the second floor.
At this moment, Yuan Jingzi's friends have been scattered for a long time.
Liu Xia checked his injury and took out a healing medicine for him to take.
After a while, Yuan Jingzi woke up quietly.
The second child of the store brought the water and returned it.
"Go and wash it. Look at you crying like a cat."
Liu Xia looked back at Xuanjing and said with a smile.
Xuan Jing nodded shyly and turned to wash her face.
"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, my sister and I would have suffered losses today."
"It doesn't matter. How do you feel?"
Yuan Jingzi sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to visit his injury. After a moment, he looked up and said, "It's much better. I don't know what to call my brother?"
At this time, Xuanjing came over and said happily, "Brother, he is Liu Xia."
Yuan Jingzi was suddenly stunned, stared, and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Are you really Liu Zhangjiao?"
Xuan Jingzi asked in a hurry.
Liu Xia nodded slightly.
"Insurmountable Tianzun, haha, I have listened to Liu Zhangjiao's name recently, and the battle of Shenjian Villa is still fresh in my memory. I dreamed of Liu Zhang's heroic posture, but I didn't expect to see him today. I'm really lucky.
Yuan Jingzi said excitedly.
"It's just a false reputation. It's not worth mentioning."
Liu Xia smiled modestly.
"Liu Zhangjiao is a modest gentleman, and the younger generation really admires him."
Yuan Jingzi smiled.
"You and I are about the same age, so there is no need to be so polite. To be honest, this time I came to the Qing Palace, and I had something to ask for the false Taoist priest. I don't know how Taoist priest Chongxu is?
Liu Xia asked bluntly.
Although Jianyunzong is a northwest sect, it used to be just a second-rate sect. Shangqing Palace and Jianyunzong have very little contact. Therefore, Liu Xia has not seen the head of Shangqing Palace with his own eyes - Chongxu Taoist priest.
"I'm ashamed to say that I am a disciple of Xuanjing of Shangqing Palace. I am qualified and dull. Since I started, I have only seen Zhangjiao three times. However, I know something about the form of Shangqing Palace.
Yuan Jingzi smiled awkwardly.
"Brother Tao, you can guess what I mean by comparison."
Liu Xia said very frankly.
"It's a long story. There are many disciples in Shangqing Palace, and it has a long history. Therefore, there are also many parties in the palace, which are clear. Everyone usually looks at a ball of harmony, but in fact, it is also an undercurrent behind their back. A few days ago, I heard that in the Sanqing Hall, various factions in the palace quarreled about Liu Zhangjiao. Chongxu Zhangjiao did not make any statement. So everyone is guessing what will happen when you come this time.
Xuan Jingzi said this and couldn't help frowning.
Liu Xia was also silent at this moment. He saw that Yunzong was in charge of teaching. When he saw that Yunzong had only 3,000 permanent disciples before, there were only 3,000. Even so, there were many parties in the sect, and there was a precedent of taking a big move for the position of teaching.
Shangqing Palace has a long history, and its disciples are known as 100,000 people. If it can really be a group of harmony, it's really a damn.
"In fact, Liu Zhangjiao doesn't have to worry. Although I have never been with Master Chongxu, I heard my master Xuanxuanzi say that Master Chongxu is open and open and broad-minded. In Shangqing Palace, he has always had a high reputation and high moral expectations. He won't sit idly by this time.
Yuan Jingzi comforted him kindly.
"Then take advantage of my brother's auspicious words. I hope everything goes well this time."
Liu Xia looked up and smiled.
"It's getting late. It's time for my sister and I to go back. I will tell my master what happened today. I believe that my master will help Liu Zhang at that time.
"Thank you very much, brother Tao."
Liu Xia got up to see her off, but Xuan Jing looked reluctant and kept looking back.
Sending off the brother and sister, Liu Xia sat cross-legged and began the day.
The next morning, Liu Xia was still meditating when she heard a rapid knock on the door, and then she heard Dabao shouting, "Get two fat chickens and a catty of good wine. Go quickly."
Liu Xia couldn't help laughing.
Then the door was pushed open, and Dabao came in and said on the stool:
"For the sake of you, my legs are broken."
"Didn't you come here on a mount?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"Amitabha, evil, evil. When I left, I prepared two earth spirit beasts, but I couldn't resist halfway. The poor monk was afraid that something would happen to you and couldn't bear to kill people, so he came to the path. You are very fast, practicing leisurely here. Poor poor monk, these two short legs, look, they have lost weight.
With that, he raised the monk's robe, revealing two thick black-haired thighs.
"Yesterday, I beat Chongxu in Shangqing Palace and hurt more than 30 of their disciples. Today, we go up the mountain to ask for help. I'm afraid there will be trouble.
Liu Xia got up, walked to the edge of the table, got a cup of tea, and handed it to Dabao.
Dabao ended up taking a sip of the tea cup. He didn't ask why. He frowned and said, "Brother, despite the direction, the matter has already happened. Let's see the trick."
"Why don't you ask me why?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"You are not a provocative person. Most of them provoked you first. I often hear my master say that Chongxu Taoist priest's cultivation is profound, and his Taoism is also extremely profound. Broad-minded. I don't think he will make it difficult for you because of such a small thing.
Dabao put away his cynical look and said seriously, which made Liu Xia a little uncomfortable.
"How sure are we that we can speak to the Qing Palace to rise up for us?"
Liu Xia asked in a low voice.
"Ninth floor!"
Dabao's answer is resolute.
"Why?"
Liu Xia is a little uneasy.
"Seeing that Yunzong is cheap in the end, he doesn't know much about the current situation in the world. To put it simply, this matter is the position between the court and the sect. I think no matter how bold he is, he will not ignore it at the risk of the world.
Dabao explained.
Liu Xia took a deep breath and couldn't help frowning.
"Big brother means that the Tianji Dynasty is ready to move these years? Do you want to attack the sect?"
Liu Xia said here and couldn't help feeling a little chilly.
"It's not enough to do it. Since ancient times, the emperor has not been ambitious? Although he got the world, he wanted everyone to bow down to him. It's not a secret. There are two internal enemies in the Tianji Dynasty. The first is those high gate valves. They dominated the royal power and swallowed a large amount of land, which reduced the tax revenue of the court day by day, resulting in many contradictions. The second is the sect of the world.
Dabao paused and said, "Although the world has provided a large number of talents to the court, it has also made the Tianji Dynasty flourish. But under the world, is it the king's soil, the shore of the earth, the king's minister? Today, the Yanqing Emperor of the Tianji Dynasty is ambitious. I'm afraid I've had the intention to change the land and return to the stream for a long time. First, we should subvert the high gate valve and consolidate the imperial power. The second is to deal with the sects of the world. The so-called side of the couch is not to allow others to snoo! The sect and the court are on an equal footing. How can he bear it?
"I understand what the eldest brother means. As the leader of the northwest, if he really ignores it, I'm afraid that the sects of the world will look sideways at him because of this matter.
Liu Xia suddenly realized and said.
"My brother is right. He not only has to take care of it, but also has it to the end. Otherwise, how can he be this leader?
With that, the shopkeeper sent fat chicken wine, and Dabao took off his hat and chewed it.
As soon as Dabao finished eating, he heard the sound of a neat horse's hoof outside. He opened the window and saw that he was a disciple of Shangqing Palace.
There are about 20 people who come. Everyone is neatly dressed. The leader is a middle-aged Taoist priest in his fifties, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and is very majestic.
After a while, I heard someone outside the door shouting, "Dare to ask, can Yunzong Liu Zhangjiao here?"
Dabao hurriedly picked up the teapot and took two sips, then rinsed his mouth, pushed the food residue down in front of Liu Xia, wiped his mouth, and sat cross-legged.
A senior monk said in a low voice, "Come in."
At this time, the door was pushed open, and the Taoist priest entered the door and bowed his hand and said, "I have seen Liu Zhangjiao in the Qing Palace. I heard that my disciples had offended you yesterday. Today, I specially ordered me to take over the teaching and go up the mountain. The first is to apologize for the head teacher, and the other is to discuss with Liu Zhangjiao on important matters.
"Brother Tao, you're welcome. I'm really ready to go to the mountain to see the virtual teaching. Brother Tao, please wait a moment. We'll be right there.
Liu Xia said politely.
When Yu Xuanzi saw Dabao closing his eyes there, he couldn't help but hold his fist and salute respectfully, and then retreated.
"God stick, we should go."
Liu Xia turned around and smiled.
Dabao smiled happily, grabbed the chicken leg on the table and killed it. He wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go."
Then the two of them went out of the inn, and the motorcade had been waiting outside the door for a long time. After Dabao and Liu Xia got on the car, they began to go slowly towards the Qing Palace.
The Shangqing Palace is less than 50 miles away from Lin'an City. After passing a canyon, the huge Shangqing Palace leaps in front of you.
Shangqing Palace is built in a natural basin, surrounded by mountains. From a high place, the basin is like a paradise.
Although it is already the middle of winter, the Shangqing Palace is still lush, like a fairyland.
"It's really a good place."
Liu Xia couldn't help sighing.
