Seeing Yu Lingle and other members of the Wuyin Cult leaving, Ye Ming stood up with a smile and took Taoist Chongquan to say goodbye to the few gentlemen who were still awake.
After several people exchanged a few words with the two, they sent them out of the bamboo forest without holding back.
On the way back, Master Chongzhun sighed:
"People like them are truly reclusive, undisturbed by the world, which is really rare."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "A hermit is a hermit when he is not discovered. After he is discovered, he will fall into the world of mortals and never be free again."
"It shouldn't be the case. I think they don't seem to be interested in participating in outside affairs..."
“It is true that some of them really live in seclusion, but there are also some who are just trying to gain fame.
In short, after the Five Tones Religion, this bamboo forest will never be peaceful. "
"Zhengshen, Pindao feels that you think of people too evilly."
"Really? Then please tell me, Taoist priest, if they really live in seclusion, why don't they choose a place that ordinary people can't reach, and then use a formation to cover it up?
Why do you live in seclusion in a place like Huangze Mansion, which is remote but not inaccessible? "
"this......"
Taoist Chongzhun felt that something was wrong with this righteous god's idea, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
A group of good hermits, in his words, became people seeking fame and reputation. It was really...
Ye Ming didn't argue with him about this, and talked about other things.
In this way, we returned to Chenghuangsi talking and laughing all the way.
Caiwei was not in Chenghuang's office today. After asking, she found out that a woman in the Lu family was giving birth today, and she had gone to take care of her secretly.
Although Yuan Lu didn't care about her daughter, Caiwei still had feelings for the Lu family.
According to the records of the underworld, the Lu family's new child is supposed to be a daughter.
In terms of seniority, she is Caiwei's granddaughter.
With Caiwei away, Ye Ming didn't even have the motivation to pretend to work. He left everything to Fang Zhenyan and lay down on his desk, thinking about other things that needed to be done later.
While he was lying down, his expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the main hall of the Chenghuang Temple.
At this time, a special pilgrim came to the main hall.
This is none other than Miss Zhao Er, whom she has not seen for two years, Zhao Yuwan.
I haven’t seen him for a long time. There is no obvious change in this person except that he looks more mature.
He came to the Chenghuang Temple, offered incense and candles, and read:
"Young Master Ye, Sister Lingbi said you are back. Please see me."
Seeing that this person was looking for him, Ye Ming was unmoved and planned to let Caiwei go see her after she came back.
Anyway, the relationship between them seems to be pretty good, so there is no need to worry about it.
But Zhao Yuwan didn't see him show up, so she kept praying in front of the temple and refused to leave.
When other pilgrims came outside, they were blocked by the guards she brought and were not allowed to enter.
Seeing this, the temple blessing came forward to say good things and asked her to finish praying quickly.
After all, this one is worthy of Princess Lingbi, and Miao Zhu would not dare to offend her.
Zhao Yuwan was a little disappointed when she didn't get a response from Ye Ming.
He moved directly from the main hall to the side hall at the back and sat down, obviously looking like he wanted to wait.
Seeing this, Ye Ming still didn't plan to come forward and asked her to wait.
But after a while, it was discovered that Zhao Ning, Yan Kui, Li Tuo, Zhang Decai, etc. would come to Fang Zhenyan with books from time to time, and look at him meaningfully.
You guys, did you do this on purpose?
Although it can be seen that they came here specifically to watch the show, they did have documents in hand, so it's hard to tell them.
This made Ye Ming a little bit disgusted. I guess if this continues, there may be some rumors in the City God's Department.
Then we will be publicized by the operatives...
Somewhat helplessly, I got up and planned to go see him.
When Zhao Ning and others saw him leaving, they looked at each other with strange expressions.
Zhang Decai said: "I saw Madam and Miss Zhao have a good relationship before. Why doesn't Sir seem to like her very much? Don't you plan to marry me?"
Zhao Ning said: "What do you know? Sir, this is called concealing the truth, not happy on the face, but looking forward to it in the heart.
It's just that it's not convenient for me to bring it up first. I want my wife to talk about it first! "
Yan Kui said seriously: "No, I don't think you are lying in this matter."
While several people were discussing, they saw Yao Jiandong passing by.
Normally, everyone would not want to talk to this guy, but at this time, they all stopped Yao Jiandong in unison.
"What do you think about this?"
"I think adults are very dedicated."
Yao Jiandong was obviously not interested in this kind of thing. After saying this, he went back to his own business.
...
Zhao Yuwan, who was sitting politely in the side hall and waiting, suddenly saw a light appearing in front of him. When the light dissipated, Ye Ming's figure appeared in front of him.
"Young Master Ye!"
Zhao Yuwan was very surprised to see Ye Ming and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Miss Zhao Er, long time no see. How are you?"
"I'm fine...
Mr. Ye, I haven't seen you for so long, you have changed so much. "
"Miss Zhao Er, are you looking for me for something?"
"It's nothing. I just heard from Sister Lingbi that you are back. Come and have a look."
After Ye Ming chatted with Zhao Yuwan for a few words, he found that this person had nothing important to do.
What they said was just trivial matters such as family feuds.
"I still have a lot of things to do. If Miss Zhao Er has nothing else to do, please come back!"
Hearing that Ye Ming was about to issue an order to expel guests, Zhao Yuwan was a little anxious. She grabbed a strand of hair with one hand and said coyly:
"Young Master Ye, I, I am almost twenty this year, and I am almost an old girl. You..."
When saying this, Zhao Yuwan lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.
For her, being able to say such words really took great courage.
"Well~~ I'm almost 20 years old. It's time to find someone to marry. I'll help you tell your fortune."
"No, no, I... don't want to find anyone else."
"Then what do you want? I'm just a local city god, not a Yue Lao, so the help I can give you is limited."
"Actually, Caiwei and I have a very good relationship..."
"I know that."
"and you......"
"Miss Zhao Er, I am really busy and have endless things to deal with every day. Since you have nothing important to do, see you next time!"
After Ye Ming finished speaking, he disappeared in front of Zhao Yuwan.
She was trying to muster up the courage to say something, but lost her goal and could only sigh.
Zhao Yuwan, who was a little distracted, walked out of the City God's Temple, got on the sedan chair, and planned to return to Princess Lingbi's mansion.
I just remembered that Princess Lingbi was out inspecting the irrigation conditions of the newly built fields, and she would not see anyone when she returned.
She felt very disappointed now, so she thought about talking to this good sister, and immediately ordered her people to turn around and go out of the city to find Princess Lingbi.
...
Outside the city of Yanhua Prefecture, there were two ordinary-looking people in cloth clothes walking and talking.
"Master, Pingzhou is so big, it's really difficult to find someone with the 'Character of Heavenly Principle'.
Sure enough, it was easier to go directly to Mr. Bai, who was so upright and upright. "
These two people were none other than Feng Xingping and Ma Cunyong, the master and apprentice who came all the way from Longzhou to Pingzhou.
After hearing what his apprentice said, Feng Xingping said helplessly:
“Along the way, you have also seen that many new laws have been used to govern the four prefectures of Pingzhou, and many old laws in the past have been abandoned.
It can be seen that this Mr. Bai is also a radical person, and it may be extremely difficult to gain his trust.
Moreover, you and I, master and disciple, have neither official status nor connections here, so it is not easy to meet Mr. Bai. The difficulty of this trip will definitely not be small. "
"Master, don't you always teach me not to be afraid of hardships?
Why are you so unsure of yourself now? "
"No, I'm just sighing, not a frustration in my confidence."
The two of them continued walking forward as they spoke.
As he was walking, Feng Xingping's expression suddenly changed and he reached out to cover his sleeves.
Seeing this, Ma Cunyong asked with some confusion:
"Master, what's wrong?"
"The Book of Foolishness started to move in my sleeve, and it was still generating heat!"
Feng Xingping said, suddenly realized something, and said with a look of ecstasy,
“It’s hard to get in the way of talent, and you won’t pay back if you hit a wall.
Ignorance will not change, mediocrity will lead to stupidity...
I know, someone with "the appearance of heavenly principles" has appeared! "
Ma Cunyong was also overjoyed when he heard this:
"Where?"
"It's nearby. It must be nearby. Quick, quick, look for it."
As the two of them were talking, they saw a group of cars coming from the bend of the road ahead.
This convoy was none other than the convoy of Zhao Yuwan who was changing carriages to go out of the city to look for Princess Lingbi.
Sitting in the car, Zhao Yuwan was in a depressed mood, feeling aggrieved and wanting to cry.
Suddenly, she heard movement in front of her. It could be seen through the gap in the car curtain. Two people suddenly stepped forward and knelt down directly in front of her carriage. They said in unison:
"Disciple Feng Xingping (Ma Cunyong) pays homage to the son of Tianli."
The convoy was stopped like this, so it naturally had to stop.
The guards around Zhao Yuwan were all Princess Lingbi's, and they always behaved in a gentle manner. When they saw two people who came up to worship them, they would not lose their temper, and would only stop to ask what was going on.
The master and apprentice quickly explained that they were worshiping the son of Tianli.
Zhao Yuwan on the carriage heard this and said with some panic:
"You two, I'm just a girl. I'm afraid I'm not the person you're looking for."
The master and apprentice were also stunned when they heard Zhao Yuwan's voice.
This distinctly female voice made both of them feel something was wrong.
How could a person with the appearance of heaven be a woman?
From the time they founded the sect to the present day, no woman has ever joined them.
In fact, it is clearly written in the sect rules that women are not accepted.
This made both of them think that Zhao Yuwan was definitely not.
But the heat and shaking in "The Book of Foolishness" cannot be faked, and the reaction is getting stronger.
Ma Cunyong said tentatively:
"Master, is it possible that someone with the 'Character of Heaven' is among these guards?"
When Feng Xingping heard this, he nodded repeatedly, indicating that it was very possible.
The two men immediately wandered around in front of a group of guards, looking for possible candidates.
That is to say, these guards are of high quality, otherwise someone would have stabbed someone with a knife.
After searching around, no one else was found among the guards.
But the response from "The Book of Foolishness" became even stronger.
Seeing this, the master and apprentice asked the carriage unwillingly:
"May I ask, girl, is there any other man in the carriage?"
"It's rude, what you two said is rude. I am a woman who has not left the government, how can there be other men in the car!"
Originally, Zhao Yuwan was quite afraid of these two guys who looked a little abnormal, but when she heard the other party's rude words, she couldn't help but get angry.
When the master and disciple heard this, they were a little helpless. It seemed that this person was right.
Ma Cunyong said: "Girl, we have something to ask you. Could you please come out and see me?"
"No, we are not relatives, and you are men. It is against etiquette and law to meet you like this!"
When the master and apprentice heard this, they were not angry but happy. The other party was a person who abided by etiquette!
This is great news!
Feng Xingping was about to open his mouth and try again, but unexpectedly he could no longer suppress the original "Book of Foolishness" in his sleeve. The book broke through his sleeve and flew into the carriage.
Zhao Yuwan in the car saw a roll of golden bamboo slips suddenly appearing in front of her eyes, and she was a little curious:
"What is this?"
When she was looking at her in confusion, the bamboo slip suddenly turned into a golden light, which penetrated between her eyebrows.
Zhao Yuwan was startled. Before she could realize what was going on, she suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and countless truths seemed to be flowing through her mind.
At the same time, I felt an indescribable powerful force within my body, and that force seemed to be directly connected to heaven.
Somehow, she felt as if she had mastered an amazing power.
Feng Xingping outside the carriage raised his head and looked at the unchanged sky, but he said loudly and extremely excitedly:
“It’s hard to get in the way of talent, and you won’t pay back if you hit a wall.
Ignorance will not change, but mediocrity will lead to stupidity.
That’s it, that’s it, hahaha, I finally found it!
Hahaha, master and disciple have finally found someone who can truly lead Foolish View to prosperity! "
