Outside the palace of Princess E Pei in the capital of Qin, shouts suddenly broke out, and four guards rushed into all sides of the palace of Princess E Pei. The guards rushed to the front and arrived in front of the princess's palace and found that the elderly palace lady had woken up. The elderly palace lady was so frightened that she trembled all over and spoke incoherently:
"Please spare me, an old woman! I'm just an old woman guarding the gate! Please leave me alive and let me lead the way with you." This elderly palace lady looks a bit cowardly, slender, and seems a bit dull. ; But if you look closely at his eyes, they seem to be shining with cold light, extremely sharp. She has been staying in this palace for nearly twenty years. She seemed weak and frail, and she was constantly shaking with fear.
Seeing this, the guard soldiers took a closer look and saw that she was just an old woman, so they shouted to her:
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and lead the way!"
The old palace lady was trembling with fear and trembling all over: "Okay, okay, okay!" So she led the officers and soldiers into the gate, followed the corridor, and brought them to the door of Princess E Pei's palace.
"Princess, princess! They are coming." The old palace lady kept shouting.
"Look at you dilly-dallying! You damn old woman! Go away." A soldier pushed her away hard and kicked open the door of Princess "Epei"'s bedroom.
In the bedroom, the bead curtains were tightly closed, the bed tents were partially hidden, and the smoke from the incense burner curled up, drawing small gray-white haloes in the air.
The whole palace seemed peaceful and peaceful, and the incense was fragrant. Purple tent embroidered jacket, fragrant soft couch. A picture of female serenity and serenity.
The guards were stunned for a moment. Then he became alert again.
The guards opened the curtains, went straight to the bed, and opened the curtains. They were greatly astonished when they found no one behind the curtain:
"No one! Princess E Pei ran away! Princess E Pei ran away!"
The soldiers discovered that Princess E Pei had run away, and a small group of soldiers discussed carefully: "Let's kidnap this old palace lady and take her to Qiyun Mountain so that she can deal with Taoist Priest Xiyun."
"That's a good idea."
"I'm an old lady, why are you taking me to such a far place?" The old palace lady was very anxious.
Unexpectedly, these soldiers kidnapped her and ran away from the palace.
When the King of Qin received the report: "Princess E Pei's Palace is under siege!" he hurriedly sent troops to Princess E Pei's Palace. The soldiers discovered that Princess E Pei's Palace was under siege, and they were all Taoist soldiers from Qiyun Mountain. They hurriedly sent guards to clear it out.
However, when they arrived at Princess E Pei's mansion, the mansion was already empty, and they only heard some movement on the west path.
"Chase! Over there, chase!" The group of soldiers hurriedly chased to the west, only to see:
The mountains are dark in color, with heavy fog and shadows, high mountains and deep gorges, with winding paths leading to secluded areas.
They immediately followed him to find out the truth.
The soldiers from Qiyun Mountain in front ran very fast. They kidnapped the old palace lady and ran quickly towards the Taoist temple at the top of Qiyun Mountain. The wind rustled, the pursuers were running through the forest and fog, and the old palace lady in the sack was moaning "ouch, ouch, ouch". Looking from a distance, the Taoist temple is brightly lit, mixed with the sound of people. When they arrived at the Taoist temple, the soldiers threw the cloth bags into the hall: "Taoist Master Xiyun, the princess has run away, and we have captured this old palace lady! You can interrogate her!"
Taoist priest Xiyun sat on the stage and looked around:
"Open the sack!"
The soldier opened the sack.
The old palace lady poked her head out tremblingly and said tremblingly: "Aren't you going to capture the princess? Why did you bring me, an old woman, here?"
"Look up!" The old palace lady raised her head. She didn't have to raise her head. She was startled when she raised her head. The old palace lady also froze her eyes and stared at Taoist Xiyun for a long time. She looked surprised at first, and then her eyes seemed to be watery. Dead silence. After a while, everything seemed to be calm again.
"Yun, Yunxi? Is that you? How come you are in Princess E Pei's palace?" Taoist priest Xiyun walked up to him with a surprised look on his face and asked, "Yunxi, how come you ended up in Qindu Palace?"
"I, don't you know why I ended up in the palace? You just practice Taoism, don't care about worldly affairs, don't care about daily life, forget about food and sleep, and are in a state of ecstasy. How can I survive by taking pills with you?"
"I know that you refine elixirs and practice Taoism, but I didn't know that you were also proficient in the art of disguise. That night a few months ago, I took a palace maid up the mountain to ask you for advice on the art of disguise, but you didn't recognize it. I'll come. I never thought that Yunxi would be so old that you wouldn't recognize it! Time goes by, people change, the mountains flatten and the sea fills up, and the appearance changes. There's nothing surprising about this!"
Taoist priest Xiyun came down from the hall and approached the old palace lady.
It turns out that this elderly palace lady is the wet nurse of Princess "Epei", and she is also Yunxi, the wife of Taoist Xiyun before she started practicing Taoism. Taoist Priest Xiyun looked solemn and said in a hoarse voice: "Yunxi, when we meet again, we are in such a situation. Time really changes, things change and people change!"
The wet nurse knew in her heart that Taoist Xiyun was good at refining elixirs, spells, and disguises. At this time, perhaps leaving a way would be beneficial to Princess E Pei. She said:
"Taoist Master Xiyun, the dead are gone, and those who come can be pursued. Your disguise skills have been of great help to Princess E Pei. Do you have any new plans to capture Princess E Pei?"
"Yunxi, we want to use the name of Princess E Pei to promote loyalty, justice, benevolence and filial piety, so that the people of the Qin Dynasty can live a stable and good life!"
The nanny was silent and confused. Then he looked around.
Taoist Master Xiyun said: "Yunxi, shall I take you to visit our Taoist temple?"
When King Qin's soldiers saw this scene, they groaned privately: "They didn't capture Princess E Pei, they just captured Princess E Pei's wet nurse. How can they go back to deliver the mission?"
"Evacuate! Let's go back and report the true situation to King Qin." Several guards from the Qin Palace hurriedly evacuated Qiyun Mountain.
Taoist Xiyun and Yunxi were originally villagers from the same village by the Lishui River in Qin State. They were childhood sweethearts and were engaged when they were young. Because the King of Qin was aggressive in military affairs and there were few young men in the nearby villagers, when Xiyun was seventeen years old, his parents did not want him to go to the military camp and experience the life of a soldier who "doesn't know the future tomorrow". After getting married, they reluctantly let him go out to study Taoism. In the first two years, he returned home, held white wedding ceremonies for the villagers, and sang poems. However, later on, he gradually became obsessed with Taoism, forgetting to sleep and eat, and rarely went home. The last time he saw Yun Xi, he told her, "I want to learn Taoism well and help the world." From now on, I will never go home or care about mundane things. The more he studied, the better he became. Later, his practice became deeper and deeper, and he learned more and more, to the point where he could no longer think about food, let alone go home.
The past is like smoke and the world is unpredictable. Originally, their parents wanted them to love each other, grow old together, and be their wives and children. But who would have thought that after Xiyun learned Taoism, he did not think so and just practiced Taoism. He refined Taoism, refined elixirs, disguised himself skillfully, and devoted himself to martial arts. He learned everything and surpassed ordinary people.
Yunxi shed tears and stopped thinking about Xiyun and returned home. Three months later, he took Mr. Xiyun and his wife away from the village and moved to the foot of Qiyun Mountain. She went out to make a living and met the Qin Palace's selection of maids. Because of her good looks, she was selected into the palace and became a low-level maid. However, Yunxi found out that she was pregnant and could not stand in the palace. She wanted to cry but had no tears, so she wanted to throw herself into a well and end her life. However, she was accidentally discovered by Princess Epei. Princess Epei felt pity and rescued her benevolently. Yunxi has been following and loyal to Princess E Pei ever since.
During today's meeting, Xiyun and Yunxi seemed to be worlds apart. That time Yunxi urgently asked for advice on the art of disguise. The lights were dim, the road was dark, the ancient trees were shadowed, and the faces were blurry. It was impossible to know that Taoist Master Qi Yunshan was Xiyun. Today, the agitation in her heart suddenly surged, and the secret hatred accumulated in her heart. Her heart cramped, like the tip of a needle piercing the silk. The broken silk marks, together with the broken heart valve, trembled together, and there were another bursts of pain in her chest. The pain was like blood dripping, then spread, infecting every cell, then spasmodic pain, dizziness, and finally, numbness.
After the pain passed, Yun Xi looked calm. He looked very relieved. So he calmly replied to Taoist Master Xiyun: "Since I have come to your Taoist temple, why don't I look around?"
Life always moves forward in a straight line, and no one can do it over again. It's all been a long time ago, but we can't control the world's affairs?
Xiyun's face turned pale and flushed, and the scenes of past love kept flashing before his eyes. An elegant and beautiful wife, considerate parents, and caring father-in-law and mother-in-law. And the gentle call of the gentle and sweet Yunxi echoed in Xiyun's ears. No matter how hard it is to trace the past, the beauty remains in our hearts. Xiyun suddenly felt regretful: What if I didn't choose to practice Taoism? Thinking of this, he closed his eyes in pain! No! No! Yunxi was right in front of him, so Yunxi could not feel the slightest hint of his heartbeat or regret, otherwise it would not be the true intention of a Taoist.
Thinking of this, Xiyun suddenly became enlightened. The feelings of family and country, there is country first, and then family. The King of Qin is so violent that someone should stand up to support justice and lead the people!
Thousands of words turned into silence at this moment. Xiyun takes Yunxi to visit his Qiyun Taoist Temple. Come to the front hall, which is filled with wax figures of various colors. Yun Xi's sharp eyes saw the statue of Princess "E Pei" placed on the Taoist platform.
Yun Xi's heart was filled with turmoil: What a Xiyun! He certainly did not forget his ambition. He already understands Xiyun's feelings. She cast a meaningful glance at Xiyun: You are still my Xiyun, as the saying goes, different roads lead to the same destination.
"What are you doing?" Yun Xi asked knowingly.
"Qiyun Taoist Temple follows good deeds, practices martial arts and truth, and broadcasts benevolence and righteousness. All Taoist priests go down to the mountains to advocate benevolence and help victims. However, I speak lightly and have insufficient appeal. I want to use the name of Princess E Pei to help the common people."
"Haha. Use your power to save the common people?" Yun Xi thought he was ambitious enough and sneered. But then I changed my mind: "Why don't we just go with the flow!"
"That's fine! I can't go back to the palace. Why don't I come to help you?"
Taoist priest Xiyun was overjoyed and said, "Then there is Lady Lao!" So he dressed Yunxi up as Princess E Pei and stationed herself at Qiyun Mountain. (To be continued)
