Next, for seven consecutive days, Cao Yi did not leave the shrine.
The slight snores that came out from time to time made Xiaotian and Little Snow Monkey who were guarding the door look at each other. The Taoist priest had traveled through time and space for hundreds of years. Did he just want to find a place to sleep where no one was?
Well, that is indeed what Cao Yi planned.
In modern times, people are constantly disturbed by things, which greatly affects their private time.
It will be different after traveling through time and space. No one will disturb you. You can rest as long as you want.
A month passed in a flash, and it was the end of July.
Although the hot summer has come to an end, the weather is still hot, making the small animals in the mountains and forests very anxious.
Outside the Taoist temple, the roars of wild beasts can be heard from time to time.
By the way, the Taoist temple is located in the Yanshan area in the north of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with modern times, Yanshan in this era was lush with trees and sparsely populated. So for a month, no one passed by the Taoist temple.
This also made Xiaotian and Little Snow Monkey who were guarding the door very anxious.
One of them is a dog and the other is a monkey. They are both very impatient animals.
Just when Xiaotian and Xiaoxueyuan could hardly sit still, the door of the shrine was pushed open, and Cao Yishi, who was full of energy, walked out calmly.
"Taoist Master"
"Taoist Master"
Xiaotian, the little snow ape immediately stood up.
"I've slept enough, let's go out for a walk."
Cao Yi walked out with his hands behind his back.
Xiaotian, Little Snow Ape followed behind.
As soon as the three people walked out of the Taoist temple, the Taoist temple disappeared.
Because the three of them chose to walk like ordinary people, the speed was not fast at all. It took them five hours to walk out of the forest.
Appearing on a dirt road, there are still some traces of carriage wheels in the middle of the road.
"How about going to the capital to have a big meal?"
Xiaotian suggested.
The little snow monkey's eyes immediately lit up.
Eat, it likes it best.
"OK"
Cao Yi agreed.
As a result, the three of them sped up slightly.
After walking less than two sticks of incense, the road was blocked by a convoy of dozens of strong men and a luxurious carriage.
In the luxurious carriage, a middle-aged man with rough skin, like a farmer, but wearing a brocade robe, was lifting the curtain, staring at the mountains in the distance in a daze.
"Ning Guo's bus drives here, and those who come will stop."
A guard came over and said sternly.
Ning Guogong?
Ning Guogong during the Tianqi period seems to be Wei Zhongxian's nephew, Wei Liangqing, who was born as a farmer.
Cao Yi didn't expect to meet a 'powerful person' casually.
Wei Liangqing heard the movement, glanced this way, and said casually: "The road is so wide, let people pass by."
The guard immediately moved out of the way.
The other guards also moved out of the way.
Cao Yi and the other three passed through a group of guards and passed by the carriage.
Wei Liangqing, who didn't take Cao Yi seriously at first, saw Cao Yi's appearance clearly and subconsciously said: "Good appearance."
When Cao Yi heard this, he smiled at Wei Liangqing.
"Do you want the Taoist priest to go to the capital? Mr. Wei will give you a ride."
Wei Liangqing said with a smile.
Cao Yi's good looks and temperament made him inexplicably like him.
Cao Yi declined politely.
"Then don't force the Taoist priest"
When they met by chance, Wei Liangqing didn't say much nonsense.
Cao Yi and his party continued to move forward.
There was half a stick of incense after it passed.
Suddenly there was a sudden gust of wind, and the curtains of the carriage were blown loudly.
“Good wind”
Wei Liangqing, who was originally very stuffy, showed a cheerful expression.
Clinker, the sky suddenly dawned, and the next moment a terrifying thunder fell, just in time to split a large tree as thick as a bowl of sea in half in half.
The two horses pulling the cart were frightened and ran forward like crazy.
The coachman was thrown off before he could crack his whip.
The incident happened suddenly and the guards were in chaos.
"Someone, come..."
Wei Liangqing, who was jolting in the carriage, kept screaming.
But things happened so suddenly, and the carriage moved so fast that the guards couldn't catch up.
Not long after, the carriage caught up with Cao Yi and his party.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."
Wei Liangqing reminded loudly.
Cao Yi and his party seemed not to hear.
When the two horses were less than two feet away from Cao Yi, they suddenly stopped. The two legs in front were still in the air.
Wei Liangqing on the carriage flew out under the influence of inertia.
There happened to be a half-acre pond on the side of the road. When Wei Liangqing was about to fall into the water, an invisible force pulled him.
Let him stand still less than a foot away from the lake.
"This this……"
Wei Liangqing looked at the water in disbelief.
Thinking of something, I suddenly looked up and saw the figure of the Taoist priest just now.
"Gong"
"Gong"
…
Several fast running guards caught up and were stunned when they saw Wei Liangqing hanging in the water.
Wei Liangqing was about to say something, when suddenly a force brought him back to the shore.
Several guards quickly supported Wei Liangqing.
"Have you seen the Taoist priest just now?"
Wei Liangqing asked.
Several guards shook their heads in unison.
"Isn't it possible that I met a god?"
Wei Liangqing said subconsciously.
Several guards nodded in unison.
The Duke is in the air, what else can he be if he is not a god?
Wei Liangqing thought of something and said excitedly: "Your Majesty is critically ill. If this god takes action, your Majesty will definitely be able to turn the crisis around."
More importantly, the Wei family and he can also turn the crisis around.
In the past few days, he already had the feeling that a storm was about to come.
"The gods probably haven't gone far, we may be able to catch up."
Before one guard could finish speaking, another guard slapped him on the head.
"The gods want to leave, how can we catch up?"
Snapped!
The guard who hit the person was slapped again by Wei Liangqing, "If you can't catch up, you have to catch up, hurry up."
"yes"
"yes"
…
Several guards chased forward.
Within a few breaths, another group of guards arrived, all of whom were rushed by Wei Liangqing to chase Cao Yi.
…
The capital is located at the junction of the Yanshan Mountains and the plains. It has an advantageous geographical location and an important strategic location.
Since Ming Dynasty Emperor Chengzu moved the capital here, it is no longer a single military town. After two hundred years of expansion, it has become an unparalleled majestic city in this era with a population of one million.
This was Cao Yi's understanding of the capital of the Ming Dynasty before he came to this world.
Now, well, not so good.
The first is the living environment. Without high-rise buildings and a good sewage system, the space is cramped and small. The streets are full of feces and urine, and mosquitoes and flies fly around.
Next are the poor. There are many beggars, the closer to the outer city, the more they are. Most of them are poor whose land has been annexed. Generally, land annexation problems were serious in the late dynasties.
Finally, the economy is not bad, and there are a lot of goods from all over the country. As the capital of the empire, where dignitaries gather, there are still many people with strong spending power.
“Things in this era are so cheap”
Xiaotian walked over with his mouth full of oil.
Followed by the little snow monkey carrying large and small bags.
Cao Yi looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go back."
"I haven't had enough fun yet"
Xiaotian was a little reluctant.
Cao Yi stared.
Xiao Tian was immediately frightened, "Listen to the Taoist Master."
