Pretending To Be a Holy Place, I Was Signed For a Thousand Years

   Chapter 241 Empress [Wu Mingxian]

   The next day, when Zhang Ming and Qingquan went out, they only saw Shi Cheng and others dining in the hall, but did not see the purple-shaded woman.

   However, they didn't care.

   Come to Kyoto, how can you not take a good look around?

  The two went out and left Suzakutian Street, intending to go to Dongcheng and Xicheng to see.

   In modern terms, Luocheng in Kyoto is known as the center of culture, politics and economy.

  The prosperity of Suzakutian Street, they had seen it yesterday.

  The rest is the cultural and political center, which is the Dongming Academy where Confucianism is located, and the Dajin Palace, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

  The latter can't get in, and it's not convenient for them to break through.

  The former can be seen.

   Dongming Academy is the seat of the contemporary Confucian Wang Haoran of the Jin Dynasty, located in the DC area of ​​Kyoto.

  The two walked along the city street for half a day before arriving here.

  I saw the magnificent and magnificent walls of the academy enclosing a large area of ​​the city, with red walls and black tiles, cornices and corners, and there is a sense of awe and fascination everywhere.

   "Senior brother, this is the gate of Dongming Academy, right? It doesn't look good..."

   Qingquan looked sourly.

  Zhang Ming patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "The main body is bigger than our Yingtian Academy, but the back mountain is far less open than ours."

   He probed a little, only to feel that the inside was like a sea, and there were countless strong men's qi intersecting.

   At first glance, there are five Yangshen realms, three Dharma image realms, and two suspected Taoist realms.

   "Strange, the Confucian quasi-sage is already a strong person in the realm of the law, shouldn't the realm of the Tao be the position of a saint?"

   Zhang Ming asked suspiciously.

  There are still many students coming in and out at the entrance of the academy.

"What this Taoist does not know, there are sub-sages above the Confucian quasi-sages, and the sub-sages are the most holy ones. But most people don't understand, so the semi-sages and quasi-sages are also called saints. Once The quasi-sage king Jinglong was mistaken by the world as the first person under the saints, but he was actually talking about sub-sages."

   At this time, a woman's voice sounded behind them.

   Zhang Ming and Qingquan turned around and saw that it was a beautiful woman in a plain dress and a long skirt. She had a strong bookish air on her body and looked extremely intellectual.

   "That's it, thank you girl for your pointers."

   Zhang Ming bowed slightly and thanked him.

  The woman in plain clothes bowed to return the salute, and said: "The Haoran sage of my Dongming Academy is the most holy place, so there are several sub-sage teachers above the law."

   Qingquan was a little surprised: "The girl is also a student of Dongming Academy?"

The    plain-clothed woman showed a calm smile and replied, "Exactly, student Nie Qingqing, I have met two Taoist priests."

   Zhang Ming's expression was slightly condensed, and he asked: "Miss Nie, your cultivation is not weak, I am afraid you are not an ordinary academy student?"

  At first he didn't care, but then he thought about it, there must be something extraordinary about the other party being able to approach the two of them so easily.

   Therefore, he carefully probed, and it turned out that this Nie Qingqing's cultivation realm turned out to be the early stage of Taoism.

   This is shocking.

   Her age doesn't look like much, and her cultivation is of the Confucian lineage. It is logically impossible to reach such a high level.

  However, she did achieve it.

   And in Confucian practice, the state of Taoism, as Nie Qingqing said just now, is the state of quasi-sage!

   But in the Great Jin Dynasty, it seems that they have never heard of such a young quasi-sage in the Confucian line!

The combination of    can only show that this Nie Qingqing's identity is not simple.

   "The Daoist Master of Qinghui really looked like a torch, and it was the students who were abrupt. To be honest, the teacher was the wise saint of Dongming Academy."

  Nie Qingqing gave him a strange look and replied humbly.

   Qingquan immediately became alert and said solemnly: "You are actually a disciple of Saint Haoran!?"

  The world knows that the Confucian lineage and Zhuoguangshan Lingshu Guan are mortal enemies. Now that they are at the door, it’s okay to miss each other, but since they meet face to face, it is inevitable that a battle will be fought.

But unexpectedly, Nie Qingqing still maintained a calm smile and said: "My Dongming Academy has no plans to be an enemy of Lingshu Guan. Qinghui Daoist, Qingquan Daoist, the students are ordered by their teachers. I'm here to wait for the two big drivers. I wonder if I can be admitted to the hospital for a while?"

   She walked to the gate of the academy and reached out to quote.

   These words and actions made Qingquan stunned: "Don't fight?"

   Zhang Ming only found it interesting, but he didn't expect that the so-called secluded saint Haoran had already noticed the arrival of the two of them, and arranged for his disciple Nie Qingqing to wait here, trying to lead the two of them into the academy.

   Just this one, is it a trap or a handshake?

   "People in the world say that it was Taixuzi of Lingshu Guan who severely injured Sage Haoran, so he had to retreat and recuperate. He hasn't left the courtyard for two years. Now, it seems that the world is also wrong?"

   Zhang Ming did not agree, nor did he refuse, he walked up to her at will and asked.

Nie Qingqing said with a smile: "Daoist Qinghui, the teacher was indeed defeated by Taixuzi, so he retreated to recuperate, and the world spread it right. It's just that victory and defeat are common things in the world. Those who don't complain about winning themselves, seek instead. It's all for yourselves. Don't mind."

   Zhang Ming sighed slightly: "The girl is so tolerant, and the sage Haoran is so open-minded!"

  Nie Qingqing bowed and saluted, no more words, just looking at the two with a pair of beautiful eyes with anticipation.

   Qingquan whispered: "Senior brother, should we catch her and run?"

  Nie Qingqing couldn't help but smile.

   Zhang Ming glared at him and smiled apologetically: "Don't be surprised, Miss Nie, since Saint Haoran invited her, then the poor fellow, let's go in and grab a cup of tea."

   They are now in the capital, and the Quartet does not know how many eyeliners there are, and it is also where the imperial palace of the Jin Dynasty is located.

   He did not believe that Wang Haoran would act directly in the city.

   This will not only lose his identity, but also completely break his plan of seclusion and seclusion, and will also attract the fear of all forces.

  Nie Qingqing smiled slightly: "Two Taoists, this way please."

   said, she should lead the way, leading them to Dongming Academy.

The students who came in and out of the surrounding area could not help being surprised when they saw them, and they all said, "Look, isn't that Nie Qingqing?" "Shh, the saint passed it on himself, and you can call him by his first name!" "Strange, she brought the two Who is she who seems to be very important to her?"

   At the same time, the old man sitting quietly in the depths of Dongming Academy slowly opened his eyes.

   At his level, Confucian methods have become extremely mysterious and unpredictable.

   As long as the other party steps into this academy, they can't help it.

   However, just as Zhang Ming and Qingquan were about to step into the academy, a shout suddenly sounded outside: "Daoist Qing Hui, wait!"

   Zhang Ming paused, looked around, and said in surprise, "General Fu?"

  I saw a luxurious carriage standing beside the gate of the academy, and a team of crimson riders. Standing in front was Fu Jing, the lieutenant who visited the Lingshu Temple last time to deliver the decree.

   "Qing Hui Daoist, Crimson Rider didn't notice your arrival in Kyoto the first time. Please forgive me for the poor reception."

  Fu Jing said politely.

  Zhang Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Pin Dao is an outsider, and he doesn't intend to be involved with the court. It is normal not to entertain."

   Although he said so, Nie Qingqing next to him had heavy eyes and kept looking at him and Fu Jing.

  The relationship between them is hard not to doubt.

   However, she is not going to admit defeat.

   "General Fu, the Taoist priest Qing Hui has already agreed to the invitation of the tutor and is about to visit the academy. Why don't you wait for the Taoist priest Qing Hui to finish talking with the tutor, and then Qingqing will send the Taoist priest to the crimson cavalry's station to visit?"

  Nie Qingqing smiled again and said.

   However, Fu Jing can be the deputy leader of the Crimson Rider, but he is not as easy to fool as ordinary people.

   "Ms. Qingqing, Crimson Rider has heard about the reputation of the saint's personal disciple for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen it today. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

   She first said politely, then her tone was slightly condensed, and she said to Zhang Ming: "Qinghui Daoist, Your Majesty has a request."

   These plain four words sounded like thunder on the ground, resounding at the door of Dongming Academy.

   The students who were watching around were startled.

   "Huh? The empress actually wants to see him?! No, it turns out that he is the Taoist priest Qinghui of Lingshuguan!"

   "What? He is Qing Hui! Everyone, don't forget that Meng Sheng and Jing Sheng both died in his hands! Don't pull me, I want to fight him!"

   "Brother Li, I didn't hold you, but you died. Can you tell me where the money is hidden?"

  “…”

   While everyone was discussing, their faces darkened.

Some of them have serious thoughts, and they even pondered secretly: "Miss Qingqing is right, it is obviously the Taoist Qinghui who was invited by the sage Haoran first. Why did the crimson rider come in a blink of an eye? Strange, the queen did this, did she want to help him, or did she want to help him? hurt him?"

   And when Nie Qingqing heard Fu Jing's words, her mouth opened slightly, and she was finally mute.

   "Since it was your Majesty's invitation, Daoist Qing Hui, I'm afraid that my teacher will not be able to see you today. Why don't we wait for you to come back, and Qingqing will come to visit again."

   She bowed and gave up.

   Zhang Ming took Qingquan to bow together, and said with a smile: "It's okay, even if Miss Qingqing doesn't come, Pindao plans to visit again another day."

   He said so, but he had already made up his mind secretly that he and Qingquan were determined not to go to Dongcheng before the ceremony.

  Fu Jing stretched out his hand and said, "Two priests, please get in the car."

  Zhang Ming and Qingquan boarded the carriage, followed by a group of crimson riders, and quickly headed towards the Dajin Palace.

   It wasn't until several miles away that Qingquan asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, why did you promise that demon girl to enter the Dongming Academy? Master has said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous it is."

  Zhang Ming looked back and said, "Qingquan, in fact, whether we agreed or not just now is of little significance. Because the qi of the sage Haoran has locked us firmly."

   Qingquan was startled: "Huh?"

Zhang Ming closed his grown mouth and said, "Don't be surprised. In fact, it doesn't matter even if you go in, Pindao just wanted to weigh up, how brilliant is this Confucian most holy means? , Who will kill the deer, it is still unknown!"

   Qingquan pouted: "Just blow it! If you have the ability, you can bring a national teacher back."

  Zhang Ming glared at him and said slowly: "However, thanks to General Fu for clearing the siege, otherwise it would be inevitable to confront Saint Haoran in advance."

   He didn't believe Nie Qingqing's words at all.

  To say that victory and defeat are common things in the world, and those who do not complain about victory over oneself, but seek for themselves, are all bullshit.

  The history of this world is always written by the victors!

  The vehicle soon arrived at the palace and drove straight in along the main gate.

  Fu Jing held the token high, and no one dared to step forward to stop it.

   This quelled the officials, palace maids, eunuchs and concubines all the way, many of them were the eyeliners of major forces.

   "Who was in the car? He dared to enter the palace, and he entered from the main entrance?!"

   "The main gate is also known as the Royal Road. It is a gate that only the sage can walk. How can this person be on an equal footing with the sage, and he still doesn't get out of the car and drive slowly when he gets to the door? How dare you!"

   "Didn't you see that it was an imperial order from the Holy One? It was an order from the Holy One!"

   "I heard that in front of Dongming Academy, the Sage ordered the crimson ride to pick up the Qinghui Taoist priest at Lingshu Temple. Seeing General Fu, could it be that the car was..."

  “…”

   For a time, countless news spread out from here, and the situation in Kyoto seems to have opened since then.

  Zhang Ming and Qingquan were both in cultivation, so they couldn't help but frown when they heard some people talking.

   "What does Her Majesty the Empress mean?"

  Qingquan couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car and saw the red walls of vermillion tiles, the white jade statues, the cornices and the flowing corners, a royal atmosphere.

   "As expected of a palace, it is so magnificent, I have only seen it in my life!"

   he exclaimed.

  The carriage soon came to a wide courtyard, where a pair of gilt-bronze unicorn statues stood on the left and right.

The    sharp claws are open, pressing down on the ground; the eyes are wide open, majestic and vigilant.

   "Senior brother, something is wrong, why do I feel that this place is a little familiar, I seem to have been here before?"

   Qingquan frowned and murmured.

   The scene of the courtyard in front of him and the stone statue of the gatekeeper at the entrance made him a little familiar, as if he had been here many years ago.

  Qingquan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You grew up on the mountain, how could you possibly have been to the palace, I think it was in a dream, haha!"

   The vehicle stopped, and Fu Jing asked the two to get out of the car and be admitted to the hospital.

   Zhang Ming got out of the car indifferently, only to see the words "Royal Garden" written above the gate of the courtyard.

   "It turned out to be the emperor's garden."

  He and Qingquan followed Fu Jing into the courtyard, where the fragrance of green plants and flowers hit their faces.

   However, Qingquan was a little uneasy, looking at the surrounding trees and flowers and muttering in a trance.

   "Senior brother, let's go, we don't see this empress anymore."

   he asked worriedly.

   Zhang Ming pulled him, puzzled: "When did you become so timid, the Empress is also a woman and can't eat us."

   Qingquan was helpless: "Well, I always have an ominous hunch."

   Fu Jing was speechless all the way and led them to a pavilion in the middle of the Imperial Garden.

   A woman with a graceful figure, wearing a light blue Liuxian long skirt with a phoenix pattern embroidered on the skirt, was already standing in the pavilion with her back to them.

  Although they didn't see the face, Zhang Ming and Qingquan had already made up a unique atmosphere in their minds.

   That back is seven-point elegant and three-point majestic.

  She——is the Empress!

   Wu Mingxian!
