Chapter 259 The way to Juxian Mansion
"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Liu, it turns out it's you." Taoist Master Qingxuan came over with a smile, "I thought it was Taoist friends invited from Stargazing Palace to come to us to discuss Taoism."
"I've heard something." Lin Jue asked curiously, "What's the point of discussing Taoism with you in Stargazing Palace?"
"It's nothing more than some commentaries on Taoist scriptures, the world of Shinto, right and wrong etiquette, right and wrong, alas, there is nothing to say." Taoist Master Qingxuan said, then turned to the little Taoist priest beside him and said, "Junior brother, go and take Junior Sister Jiang
Please come out and tell her that the Taoist friends from Fuqiu Temple are here to visit, oh, yes, we are waiting for her in the backyard teahouse."
After that, he made an invitation gesture to the three people and one fox, and led them to the teahouse in the backyard.
Not long after, Director Jiang arrived.
Lin Jue still remembered that her real name was Jiang Zhaoren, and she had a close relationship with the Lord Yili. She changed her name to Jiang Ning, and was now practicing at Xuantian Temple in Qiyun Mountain.
When we met again at this time, her appearance had almost not changed. She was as white as skin with makeup. When the sun shone at noon, she seemed to be glowing. It was also hazy by the green smoke in the tea room. For a moment, she couldn't tell.
It felt like she was in a dream or in reality. And her expression was still calm and calm, even when she saw an old friend.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Liu, we meet again."
"Yeah, long time no see."
"I heard that Taoist Master Yunhe has passed away."
"There are countless lives and deaths, and there are degrees of prosperity and decline. My master has already looked away from it. He is not someone who likes to talk about short stories and long discussions."
"I'll make tea for you."
Taoist priest Jiang didn't say much, he just sat down cross-legged, took out many tea sets and tea leaves, and seemed to give the task of talking to Taoist priest Qingxuan.
"It is said that the two masters who got rid of the Dragon King in Runze County were the two Taoists, right?" Taoist Priest Qingxuan said.
"How does Brother Dao know?"
"The deeds of the two Taoists are widely spread. There are two Taoist priests, a man and a woman, with a white fox. Who else can it be? As soon as the poor Taoist heard about it, he knew that it must be the three Taoists." Taoist Master Qingxuan said in surprise.
, "But what I didn't expect was that in just a few years, three fellow Taoists could actually get rid of a demon king."
The fox next to him listened with some pride.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "What kind of demon king is the Dragon King?"
"Hey! Although he is not a monster that has become a Taoist like the Corpse Tiger King, he is still a great monster who rules an area." Taoist Master Qingxuan said, "How many Taoists in the world who practice spiritual magic have this ability?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Taoist Jiang Ning:
"Junior sister Jiang, tell me, do the fellow Taoists on Yushan Mountain on the other side of the capital have this ability?"
"It's definitely not possible to fight alone. It's okay to go to more places. It's okay to take the ancient magic weapon from the temple." Jiang Dao Zhang lowered his head and took out the tea leaves, put them into the tea grinder, and concentrated on grinding them back and forth without raising his head.
He replied, "It's just that they don't have the heart and courage."
Taoist Priest Qingxuan felt a little embarrassed.
Originally, he wanted Junior Sister Jiang to echo his statement and say that the fellow Taoists on Yushan Mountain did not have the ability to praise his old friend, but he did not expect that Junior Sister Jiang would not be able to do it.
"We also used a strategy, and with the help of Mr. Luo and many heroes around us, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do this." Lin Jue also said truthfully.
"Oh? Strategy? Luo Gong?"
"That's it..."
Lin Jue was in a very relaxed mood at this time, so he stroked the fur of the fox next to him and briefly explained the matter to them.
"That's it! It turns out that fellow Taoist has used such a clever trick! I admire it! I admire it." Taoist Master Qingxuan was amazed, and then looked at Monk Luo next to him, "This Mr. Luo next to Taoist Master has such ability, and he can call him at once
With so many heroes in the world, could it be that they are Luoseng, the county lieutenant from Changning County, the capital city in the past?"
"It's me."
Monk Luo took off his face covering very simply.
"It's really Mr. Luo! It's really fate that these two fellow Taoists met with Mr. Luo. It's only fitting that the Dragon King would have suffered such a calamity!" Taoist Master Qingxuan was still surprised.
"Then the Dragon King has been causing trouble here for so long, and there are no humans or gods in the entire capital to take care of it?" Lin Jue asked.
"Fellow Taoist, I don't know, this matter is complicated. Some are unwilling to take care of it, and some are unable to take care of it. Just like us, we actually intend to use the Dragon King to increase the power of belief in our emperor and god. But no matter what, we are already here in heaven and on earth.
The result of many battles is that we can only take root in this capital first." Taoist Priest Qingxuan said, but did not say more, but changed the subject, "But having said that, although the Dragon King is a very big man,
He is a demon king, but he usually causes trouble once every ten years, and he does it in a concealed manner, so in terms of harm, alas, it is considered small."
"Um……"
Lin Jue nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the Taoist priest next to him had already begun to make tea. When the green tea powder touched the boiling mountain spring water, the fragrance of tea immediately came out, and it merged with the fragrance of the green smoke in the temple. From the hole behind him,
The light coming in from the window was full of water vapor and smoke.
I think this is good tea.
It seems that there are not many customers who can let her grind the tea, sift the tea and make the tea herself.
But when Lin Jue talked about this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong——
Back on Fuqiu Peak, when Taoist Priests Qingxuan, Taoist Jiang and Junior Brother Ma came to the mountain to say goodbye, they said that they would visit them in the capital in the future. It was the third senior brother who said the most harsh words, but at this time they were not surprised or confused at all.
Why are there only two of them, brother and sister, but the third brother didn't come?
"Originally, the two of us were supposed to come to the capital together with my third senior brother, but we accidentally got separated from him on the way because we had promised to come..."
Lin Jue said, "I want to ask Brother Dao, but my third senior brother has already been here?" Before he could ask, Daoist Jiang glanced at Daoist Qingxuan, and Daoist Qingxuan patted his head, Lin Jue immediately immediately
He stopped talking and looked at him seriously.
Then I saw Taoist Priest Qingxuan patting his head and saying:
"Look at me, I don't know if I've been too busy recently, or I'm so happy to see these two fellow Taoists that I forgot about it!"
Lin Jue cast his eyes at the junior sister.
The younger junior sister also looked over at him almost at the same time.
Both of them realized something——
Third senior brother has already arrived.
"Fellow Taoist Miao Lin has indeed visited. He also told you that he accidentally got separated from you. He also said that he went to a Taoist temple outside the city. It is inferred that you have not come here yet." Taoist Master Qingxuan said, "Miao
Fellow Taoist Lin specially reminds me that before telling you, you must first ask if you have been looking for him. If you have been delayed in coming to the capital because you have been looking for him, let you know that he is fine. If you are just going elsewhere to play.
If he goes, I won’t say anything to you, so that you can worry about him.”
"It's something he can do."
Lin Jue nodded, knowing that the third senior brother was indeed fine, and his expression calmed down.
I no longer worried in my heart, and I understood why Daoist Master Jiang had just glanced at Daoist Qingxuan, probably because he wanted to see whether Daoist Qingxuan would do as the third senior brother told him.
"When was that?" the junior sister asked.
"About three months ago."
"Three months ago..." The junior sister thought for a while. At that time, she and her senior brother were on their way to the Western Region to chase the rat demon, and then she quickly asked, "Where are the third senior brother now?"
"I don't even know."
"Did he say anything about the night we parted?"
"I didn't say anything in detail."
Taoist Priest Qingxuan couldn't help but shook his head:
"But at that time, he said that a female ghost was chasing him. It seemed a little urgent. He only stayed with us for one night and left the next day. We wanted to keep him for a few more days but didn't. And he didn't.
He said he would come to the capital to see you again in the future."
"Female ghost..."
The little junior sister couldn't help but look at the little senior brother——
Third senior brother is not very good at dealing with ghosts...
The younger senior brother looked calm.
The junior sister also calmed down.
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to tell from Brother Qingxuan's words that the third senior brother should be fine. As long as he is in the capital, he will always see him again one day.
"What should I put in the tea?"
"That's plums and sugar."
"Um……"
The tea leaves are fragrant, and I pour out several cups one by one.
Director Jiang held the first cup of tea with both hands and handed it to Lin Jue first, followed by the younger junior sister, Fox and Monk Luo. It was obvious that she didn't care about people or monsters, children or adults, she only cared about how close they were to each other.
"Thank you."
Lin Jue took it and took a whiff, and could smell the rich and fresh aroma of tea, because it was originally tea powder, and there was also a hint of green plum. After taking a sip, it also tasted of sweet and sour tea.
After that, they just chatted and reminisced about old times.
After recounting the past, we talked about the capital and Juxian Mansion.
Taoist Master Qingxuan said to them:
"I wonder if Mr. Luo has told his friends that originally the monks in the capital were roughly divided into three factions:
"The first is the Star Observation Palace, which is the ancestral palace of the Fu Lu Sect in the world. It is not as famous as our four famous mountains, but its status is still higher than the four famous mountains. It is mainly dedicated to Tian Weng. It has the backing of the imperial court and the capital. Speaking of it, all Taoists in this dynasty, regardless of the Fu Lu Sect,
Whether it is the Lingfa Sect or the Alchemy Sect, all Jindu Sects issued are issued by the Guanxing Palace, and all newly built orthodox Taoist temples also require their nod.
"The second is Juxian Mansion, which is the collection of strange people and strangers collected by the imperial court. They are different in each dynasty and generation.
"The third is Yushan, about twenty or thirty miles away from the capital. There is the Yushan Baiqing Palace on it. Immortals used to live there and they also practiced spiritual methods. It is probably similar to the Taoist temple on Yishan Mountain.
"There are actually some hermits and monsters in the hundreds of miles of Fengshan Mountain, but most of them don't care about worldly affairs and don't even interact with each other. I am afraid that the change of dynasties will not affect them. In addition, there are very few, so no one will count them.
In it.”
Lin Jue nodded and asked him: "From the perspective of Taoist Brother Qingxuan, how is the Juxian Mansion today?"
"The Juxian Mansion in this dynasty has never been as powerful as it was when the Yu Dynasty was first built. It dared to compete with the gods and demon kings, but it is also not as declining as the previous dynasty. It can only perform some tricks for the emperor. But now, Juxian Mansion
Just like the imperial court and the army..."
Taoist Priest Qingxuan thought for a while before speaking, but when he said it, he only smiled and did not finish speaking, and then said:
"However, even if there are many deceitful people in Juxian Mansion, there are still many people with real abilities. Even if there are many people who deceive the world and steal their reputation, there are also people who really want to eliminate evil and harm for the people. As for such people, I
I have always respected Junior Sister Jiang. I think Mr. Luo also knows that."
Luo Monk stood silently beside him and just nodded.
"Does Fellow Taoist Lin want to go to Juxian Mansion?" Taoist Master Qingxuan asked.
"I heard that Juxian Mansion contains many ancient books from the time of Prime Minister You, and I want to take a look." Lin Jue said truthfully, "Maybe it will inspire me."
"This is true, and it is indeed the reason why many famous cultivators go to Juxian Mansion." Taoist Master Qingxuan nodded and said, "It's just that we are not very clear about this kind of spiritual and magical matters."
"Thank you, Brother Dao."
Lin Jue thanked him.
Director Jiang on the other side heard this and said:
"We have been here for several years and have had some dealings with the Juxian Mansion. Although the Juxian Mansion nominally only takes care of the emperor's worries, in fact most matters are affiliated with the Ministry of Rites. Nowadays, the imperial court is extremely corrupt. If you Taoist friends want to join the Juxian Mansion,
Even if I find someone from the Juxian Mansion, or tell me the name of Fuqiu Temple in Yishan Mountain, I am afraid I will still get some money to do some secret deeds.
"If you Taoist friends really want to join, I can write a letter of introduction for you in my personal name.
"If you take the letter, you will definitely be able to enter Juxian Mansion."
Lin Jue thought for a moment and then agreed:
"Thank you very much."
"Since we are old friends, there is no need to be polite." Taoist Master Jiang said, "Not to mention that my life and that of Taoist Brother Qingxuan were saved once by you and your fox."
Chapter completed!
