Chapter 260 You are indeed ignorant

Taoist Priest Qingxuan and Taoist Jiang invited Lin Jue and the others to stay here for a few more days. Indeed, they had not seen each other for several years, and Lin Jue did not refuse.

Anyway, this palace is very large, showing the southern faction's intentions, but it is just starting out. There are only seven or eight Taoist priests at the moment, and there are many vacant rooms and living rooms.

Taoist Master Qingxuan arranged a room for each of them.

Lin Jue returned to the room with the letter.

The letter was unsealed, but when I opened it, I saw that it was full of hairpin flowers in small regular script. The handwriting seemed a bit like the habits of ancient people, but also a bit familiar.

The content was written in front of Lin Jue. It is nothing more than the name of the Taoist. It comes from the Fuqiu Temple in Yishan, Huizhou. It is not only a true biography of the famous mountain, but also one of the famous inheritances of the Lingfa Sect. Who has been practicing Taoism?

A relatively well-known master among people, what achievements did the previous ancestors have? Joining the Juxian Mansion can help subdue demons and eliminate demons and help this troubled world.

At the same time, he also specifically said that this was the expert who removed the Demon King of Runze County, and he hoped that the Ministry of Rites would pay more attention to him.

It is said that Juxian Mansion is now too bloated. Although there are not many capable people, the number of people is more than ever before, even more than during the Yu Dynasty. However, the land in the capital is limited, so that even many officials have to spend money.

Rent a house outside. Even though Juxian Mansion has been passed down for several dynasties and has many official residences and courtyards, there are still some "odd people" who have to rent a house by themselves.

Some really powerful ones can be assigned a small room.

Only a very small number of famous "celestial masters" and "experts" can have their own courtyard in the official residence of Juxian Mansion.

Taoist Priest Qingxuan and Taoist Jiang knew that they had been cultivating in the mountains before and were used to the whole world being their own. If they lived in a small house in the capital, they would definitely not adapt to it, so they suggested to Lin Jue to directly indicate that King Longlong was his.

In order to avoid a lot of trouble, the matter spread in Runze County anyway.

If he went to Juxian Mansion and said that Dragon King was removed by himself, it might arouse suspicion, and it is very likely that the officials of the Ministry of Rites often heard such things said by strange people in Juxian Mansion.

But with a personal letter from Director Jiang, things are naturally different.

This saves myself a lot of effort.

Otherwise, he must either go to Master Yun Chan or Master Fan Tian. Between the two, Lin Jue was more inclined to the former.

The only thing is that I don’t know how far the struggle between the Nine Heavenly Gods in the capital and the human world has developed. I am holding this letter that only talks about Daoist Jiang himself and does not mention Qiyunshan Xuantian Temple and Zhenjian Palace. Will it still be regarded as a conflict with the world?

They have some relationship.

However, Lin Jue is a Taoist from the Lingfa Sect, and he cultivates freedom and ease. He does not have too many interactions with the Fulu Sect or the gods. In addition, he does have some friendship with Taoist Master Jiang, so he does not worry about it.

"It seems that the letter sent to Fuqiu Peak was indeed written by Director Jiang himself."

Lin Jue read the letter several times, murmured to himself, then folded it and put it in the envelope.

The biggest gain from this visit is that I learned the news about the third senior brother. A stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, although it was only hanging two or three inches above the ground.

Stayed here for three days.

The other Taoist priests in the temple were very busy. Only the two Taoist priests were free. They took a walk in the temple, sat under the tree, played with cats and foxes, and talked nonsense with the pilgrims who came to ask for advice. The other pilgrims could only sit in the temple.

They were eating light vegetarian meals in the dining hall, and they were cooking meat in the inner courtyard, which was quite comfortable.

Only in the middle of the night, the kid quietly appeared and found that they had moved to a strange place again. He was immediately stunned, and then showed a confused look on his face again:

"It's over! I can't find the way again..."

Before staying on that mountain, he finally found the road around the mountain. Who would have thought that he would wake up in a strange place again.

He wanted to go out to find the way, but he felt a divine light shining in the house next to him, which frightened him and made him feel at a loss.

The Taoist next to me was sleeping soundly.

The fox tilted his head and stared at it.

Three days later.

Taoist priests Qingxuan and Jiang both came to see the three of them off.

"Fellow Taoist, it's enough to take Junior Sister Jiang's letter, and Luo Gong helps to lead the way, so we won't take fellow Taoist to the official residence of the Ministry of Etiquette." Taoist Priest Qingxuan said, "There's not much else to say, anyway, this is the place.

It's only a few steps away from the capital. When fellow Taoists have nothing to do, you can come here to drink tea, have a meal, and just chat."

"Brother Taoist, there is no need to give it away."

"Right——"

Taoist Master Qingxuan suddenly seemed to remember something again, and said to Lin Jue: "A strange thing happened in the Taoist temple and nearby in the past two days."

"What's up?"

"First the day before yesterday, a pilgrim who stayed overnight told me that he had a dream last night about a child. He didn't have anything else to say. He just asked him where he was, and then asked me what it meant. I still followed the book

I explained it to him, but that day three pilgrims all had the same dream, and the things were the same.

"Not only that, yesterday and today, pilgrims living nearby also came to watch and dreamed of the same thing.

"I discussed with Junior Sister Jiang and thought that it should be a little devil, but since it dared to enter the temple and did not provoke punishment from the gods in the temple, it should not be an evil spirit and it does not have bad intentions."

As Taoist Priest Qingxuan spoke, he looked at Lin Jue and his junior sister, seeing obvious surprise on their faces, and he was a little unsure for a moment:

"I've been thinking about it for a while, so I asked two fellow Taoists, but you brought a little devil with you?"

Lin Jue and his junior sister looked at each other.

Luo Monk also cast his gaze.

The three of them knew that the little devil would lead the way, but they didn't expect that the way it knew would actually come from this way.

"That kid is four or five years old. He is fair and tender. He is wearing brown clothes and a brown hat on his head. There is also a hat ball on the top of his head?"

"Exactly!"

"Ha ha……"

Lin Jue laughed and saluted quickly: "It is indeed a servile spirit we met in the Western Regions. We didn't know it would do such a thing. We will definitely keep a close eye on it from now on."

"I don't mean that. I just want to ask for clarification. Just ask for clarification."

"But how does Taoist Brother Qingxuan interpret dreams?"

"this……"

Several people laughed and said goodbye.

After leaving the Taoist temple, you can see the capital city at a glance.

It was a huge and majestic city. Looking at it this way, you could only see a high and wide city wall, a city gate in the middle, and a spacious official and horse road leading to it.

Cars, horses and pedestrians are constantly coming and going on the road, and there are many vendors on both sides. There are houses built a little further away from the official road, some are residential buildings, and some are shops. It is not as empty as imagined.

"Junior sister, do you want to go shopping in the capital?"

"think!"

The little junior sister carried her luggage and led the horse, and said without hesitation:

"I also want to buy some chickens and ducks to feed."

"You really should buy some chickens and ducks to raise."

"Buy a few more, and the female will lay eggs to eat. If the senior brother comes back, we will eat eggs in the morning. If the senior brother is not here, we will also eat eggs at noon. I will eat the egg white, florets and egg yolk, and the male will keep the meat."

"You eat eggs every day without cooking, right?" Lin Jue turned to glance at her.

"Too lazy to cook."

The junior sister scratched her head honestly.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Lin Jue walked in that direction, "Then I'll take you to visit the capital for a few days."

"good."

"If you encounter puppies, you can buy two and feed them back." Lin Jue said, "The little black one in Fuqiu Temple used to be pretty good."

"I want to buy it. I will buy it next time. I can only buy a few chickens this time. I also want to buy sheep and pigs, and I will buy them next time." The junior sister said, "I buy the same thing every time I come to the capital."

"It's good to have a plan..."

The three of them led their horses towards the capital.

Lin Jue looked at the shops and pedestrians around him, and at the city wall and gate in front of him. He saw a group of soldiers guarding the city, and there were also many defenders standing on the city wall. He couldn't help but glance at Luo Gong.

"Don't worry."

Luo Gong seemed to have seen through his thoughts:

"These guards have paid a lot of money to work here to earn money because of their connections. They will not worry about other things, let alone cause trouble for themselves. Besides, you are Taoists with golden certificates."

"Can swords be brought in?"

"Originally it couldn't be done, but even a few decades ago, people in Jianghu had their own methods. The capital is so big, how could there be no need to use swords in the city? Besides, there are sellers of weapons in the city. This regulation gradually gradually

It becomes a piece of paper. Ordinary people can bring in swords and weapons as long as they don't hold them in their hands, wrap them in cloth, and pay the guards a sum of money, called a "saber tax".

It’s okay to put a sword in.”

"Where's Luo Gong's gun?"

"The head of my gun is detachable."

"I see."

Sure enough, the three of them walked to the city gate.

The guards immediately saw the swords they carried and the Taoist robes worn by the two brothers and sisters, and immediately stared at them.

Lin Jue took out his ultimatum.

Seeing that it was a fold, not a common piece of paper, the guard looked a little more serious.

"We are Taoists from Huizhou. We came to the capital and heard that there is a Juxian Mansion in the capital that can accommodate strange people. We think we know some magic, so we want to try it." Lin Jue said directly and pointed behind him.

The sword-carrying warrior said, "This is my protector."

The guard was stunned when he heard what he said.

This booklet was specially issued by the imperial court to cultivators with true teachings. Although taking this certificate does not necessarily mean that one will really know magic, but after taking this certificate, he went to Juxian Mansion again...

The guard did not dare to neglect and quickly handed it back with both hands.

But he still looked at Luo Gong behind him.

Luo Monk simply took off his mask, revealing a thick beard underneath, making it difficult to tell his true appearance.

"Since you are a real person, please come in."

"Thank you."

Lin Jue saluted him and entered the city.

"Is it easier than you think?" Luo Seng walked beside him calmly, holding a knife.

"That's right."

"These days, most people are fooling around." Luo Monk said, pointing forward, "Go this way."

"Gong Luo looks a bit like Chen Niu."

"There are some inns over there. You can't go to Juxian Mansion today. The two Taoist priests didn't let you stay in Zhenjian Palace temporarily to wait for the news. They probably didn't want people to think that you and Zhenjian Palace have too deep a relationship.

Therefore, we must first find an inn to settle down before going to the Ministry of Rites."

"Listen to Luo Gong."

So I went to find an inn first.

Not long after, we arrived at the official office of the Ministry of Rites.

Naturally, Luo Monk did not go in. He only explained the general process to them and waited outside.

The junior sister went in with her.

I heard that he was a monk who came to join Juxian Mansion. The subordinate officials in the Ministry of Rites did not look down upon him, but they did not pay too much attention to him. It should be because there were too many "strange people and strangers" in Juxian Mansion.

An official was quickly notified and asked to go in.

Sitting in the small official office was a young official.

Lin Jue stepped forward alone and handed over the letter:

"The poor Taoist's surname is Lin Jue. He is a Taoist from Fuqiu Temple, Fuqiu Peak, Yishan Mountain, Huizhou. He heard that Juxian Mansion can provide a place for strange people from all over the world to stay, so he wanted to come here."

The young official looked at the letter and then looked at him:

"Where is Yishan?"

"Huizhou, Yi County."

"Where is Fuqiu Temple?"

"Above Mount Yi."

"I am a bit ignorant..."

The young official frowned slightly, but he was actually looking at Lin Jue secretly. This was a subtle trick commonly used by officials in the capital to ask for gifts.

But the Taoist in front of him was unmoved.

The young official had no choice but to kindly remind him: "Although Juxian Mansion accommodates strange people from all over the world and serves the imperial court, even if the Taoist Priest does have some magical powers, he cannot make up his background at will."

"Although Fuqiu Temple is not big, it is also an orthodox true story." Lin Jue looked polite, but his words were very direct, "As an official of the Ministry of Rites, I have never heard of Fuqiu Temple. I am really ignorant."

"..."

The young official frowned again, but after thinking about it, his attitude became better. He lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand:

"What is this?"

"When Pindao was in Huizhou, he had an old relationship with Taoist friends from Xuantian Temple. When he went outside the capital this time, he stayed at Zhenjian Palace outside the city for three days." Lin Jue said truthfully, "In the temple, Taoist Master Jiang Ning listened.

He said that I was going to come to Juxian Mansion to stay, but I was afraid that people in the capital would forget about Fuqiu Temple, so I wrote a personal letter."

When the young official heard this, he immediately became serious.

Zhenjian Palace was very famous in the capital at this time. Could it be that the people introduced to Juxian Palace by the Taoist priest in Guanzhong were the ones we usually encountered?

So he quickly got up and took him to see the chief officer.
