Chapter 1015 Visit
Meng Zhang left the Wuxingwei station alone and went to the place where the Hailing mission was staying.
The Ministry of Rites of the Dali Dynasty has a special state guesthouse under its jurisdiction to receive distinguished guests from all over the world.
After the envoy sent by Hai Ling arrived in Shangjing City, they were accommodated in the State Guesthouse.
During the days that Meng Zhang went to the capital, he almost had a clear understanding of the geographical environment here.
He soon arrived at his destination, outside the State Guesthouse.
Outside the State Guesthouse, there are elite guards from the Forbidden Army.
In order to show the importance to the Hailing Sect's mission, Emperor Bawu specially sent several Yuanshen monks from the palace to strengthen the guard here.
Ordinary idlers were driven away by the patrolling Imperial Army before they even got close to the State Guesthouse.
Meng Zhang revealed his identity as the fifth criminal guard, successfully passed the interrogation of the patrolling imperial guards, passed through the periphery of the State Guesthouse, and came to the outside of a high wall.
Within the high wall is where the Hai Ling Sect's envoys stay.
When they arrived here, Meng Zhang was also stopped by the guarding imperial army.
At this time, his status as the Fifth Penalty Guard was not very easy to use.
The Forbidden Army and the Five Penal Guards were not subordinate to each other. Even if the other party did not give him any face, there was nothing he could do.
In addition to Meng Zhang, there were several other monks nearby, but they were all stopped by the guarding imperial army.
If you want to enter inside and visit the Hailing Sect monks, you must obtain permission from the Hailing Sect monks.
Monks from large sects like the Hai Ling Sect do not have an approachable style. On the contrary, they are very tired of being disturbed by irrelevant people.
Therefore, the Imperial Guards who had received instructions in advance strictly followed their instructions and blocked all irrelevant people.
No matter how high the visitor's status is in the Dali Dynasty, if he has nothing to do with the Hailing Sect monks, he will basically be unable to enter without their permission.
Meng Zhang discovered that among the monks who were blocked from the outside, there were many people with advanced cultivation and high status.
Especially a bicycle frame parked not far away. Just by looking at its shape, you can tell that it belongs to members of the royal family.
But the owner of the frame was still blocked by the Forbidden Army.
The Forbidden Army has the emperor's mandate, and there are experts from the imperial palace in the army. They have enough confidence that they don't need to buy anyone's face.
Seeing this scene, Meng Zhang felt a little uneasy, and he didn't know whether Zhenjun Lu Tianshu's signature was easy to use.
If the Hai Ling Sect monks refused to receive him, he would have no choice but to go home.
Meng Zhang stopped a guarding imperial guard and asked him to report to the Hailing envoy that it was Meng Zhang from the Taiyi Sect who was a friend of Zhenjun Lu Tianshu.
The guarding imperial army glanced at Meng Zhang suspiciously and asked Meng Zhang to wait here while he went over to report inside.
The forbidden soldier came out shortly after entering.
He made an invitation gesture to Meng Zhang and invited Meng Zhang in very respectfully.
The monks who were stopped next to them were basically those who wanted to see the Hai Ling Sect monks for something, but were unable to get in.
Meng Zhang got in so easily, which surprised them all.
The Hailing Sect is far away in the South China Sea, thousands of miles away from the Dali Dynasty.
It is really not an easy task for the monks of the Dali Dynasty to have some contact or build a relationship with the Hailing Sect monks.
The imperial guard led Meng Zhang into the high wall and then voluntarily resigned.
It is now where the Hailing Sect monks live. In order to show enough respect, the Dali Dynasty officially gave the Hailing Sect monks enough privacy.
Almost at the same time that the imperial guard leading the way retreated, an old man came out of the hall and took the initiative to meet Meng Zhang.
Within the high walls, there are many independent small courtyards, as well as many halls, with a large number of pavilions and pavilions in between.
The old man walked up to Meng Zhang and said, "This Meng Zhenjun, you said you are a good friend of Senior Brother Lu..."
Obviously, although he asked Meng Zhang to come in, he was still a little confused about Meng Zhang's words.
Like Meng Zhang, this old man was in the middle stage of Yuanshen cultivation, but he was also a monk of the Hailing Sect, and Meng Zhang did not dare to neglect him.
"When I was in the Heavenly Palace, I worked for Granny Liansi for a period of time. It was at that time that I was fortunate enough to meet Brother Lu Tianshu."
"Later, I and Brother Lu had the experience of going to the outer void together, and I was fortunate enough to witness Brother Lu's majestic battle against the Zhenhai Palace monks."
What Meng Zhang said was very similar, and he brought out Granny Liansi, the great master of returning to the void.
Granny Liansi has a close relationship with the Hai Ling Sect. Although it is not a particularly secret matter, it is not something that everyone who is not related to can know.
If Meng Zhang's remarks were fabricated, it would not only offend the Hailing Sect, but also Granny Liansi.
The old man believed most of Meng Zhang's words at once.
"My Excellency, You Mingde, is in charge of doing odd jobs in the mission. Since Meng Zhenjun is a friend of Senior Brother Lu, he is no longer an outsider. Please come in quickly."
You Mingde suddenly became very affectionate towards Meng Zhang and politely welcomed him into a reception hall.
Not to mention the Hai Ling Sect, even within the Holy Land Sect, a great monk in the late Yuan Shen period would not have a low status in the sect.
Even though Lu Tianshu was a respectful junior in front of Granny Liansi, he was a high-ranking and powerful figure in the Hailing Sect.
Since Meng Zhang is Lu Tianshu's friend, You Mingde will certainly not offend him easily.
Introducing Meng Zhang into the hall, You Mingde and Meng Zhang exchanged pleasantries.
After a conversation, Meng Zhang described in great detail how he made his acquaintance with Lu Tianshu.
Except for killing the Zhenhai Palace monks with Lu Tianshu and escaping from the Zhenhai Palace's Void Return Master, Meng Zhang basically said everything he could say.
With these details as a reference, Meng Zhang's words appear more credible.
Although Meng Zhang had not been in contact with Lu Tianshu for a long time, he still had some understanding of this person.
After chatting for a while, You Mingde trusted Meng Zhang more and his attitude became more friendly.
"The leaders of our mission were originally Senior Brother Mei Tianxiang and Senior Brother Lu Tianshu."
"But Senior Brother Mei Tianxiang is a cultivator, and he only knows how to practice hard in seclusion all day long. When he got here, he only met people from the Dali Dynasty once, and then he went to practice in seclusion again."
"A lot of chores for the mission fell on my head. Even if I want to meet Senior Brother Mei, it's not easy."
"While we were on the road, Senior Brother Lu left for a while because of something. It will take some time before he comes to join us."
You Mingde said a lot, partly complaining and partly explaining to Meng Zhang.
He said that Lu Tianshu was about to arrive here, which was also a test for Meng Zhang.
Seeing that there was nothing strange about Meng Zhang, he felt relieved.
As for the Mei Tianxiang he mentioned, he is a strong one among the great monks of Hai Ling Sect.
