"Zuo Chong, tomorrow you..." Yuan Ming's mother said as she walked into the study. When she looked at Yuan Ming, she was stunned.
Yuan Ming's mother had no talent for cultivating immortals and was just a mortal at first. She was once unparalleled in beauty, but now she cannot escape the wear and tear of time. Her skin is no longer smooth and delicate, her body is a little thin, and wrinkles have climbed up her forehead and the corners of her eyes. The long black hair now has a lot of hair.
She looked at Yuan Ming, her body trembling but speechless. Tears fell in large drops and soon soaked her cheeks.
She slowly walked towards Yuan Ming, carefully touching his face with her hands, not even daring to use force, for fear that everything she saw was a dream, and she would wake up from the dream if she used a little force; Yuan Ge held his hand Her mother placed her hand on her cheek, feeling the warmth coming from her palm. Thousands of words were spoken, but in the end they only condensed into one simple sentence: "Mom, I'm back!"
Elder Zha's disciple who was responsible for monitoring the Yuan Mansion came to report that Yuan Ming had returned home. At the Taoist temple in the center of Qujiang City, a middle-aged man wearing a purple gold Taoist robe respectfully reported to a female alchemy cultivator; The man was the new national master sent by Changchun Temple, "his name is Miao Qing, his cultivation level is much higher than that of Yu Hu, and he has even reached the peak of Zhu.
Although the name of the Grand Master of the Jin Dynasty sounds very intimidating, for a sect like Changchun Temple, it is actually no different from being responsible for handling external affairs. In Changchun Temple, all monks with some talents are not I would like to take up this position, but this position is very important. In a sense, it is quite the appearance of Changchun. Therefore, I don't have the background and means to be a national teacher.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of foundation-building disciples in Changchun Temple who have a certain background but are not very talented. Taoist Priest Yuhu is like this, and so is Miao Qing. Compared with Yuhu who only has the early stage of foundation-building, Miao Qing's past identity and His status is much higher. He is the only son of an elder named Miao in Changchun Temple. He should have a bright future, but he was seriously injured while exploring the secret realm. His foundation has been damaged since then, and he will never be able to break the pill. He has no choice but to do so. Afterwards, he could only stop thinking about further matters and began to help deal with various mundane matters within the sect. Due to his outstanding methods, he was praised by many Jiedan elders for his work.
Changchun Guan has been arguing over who will be the next national advisor. People from the royal family definitely don't need to consider it. After all, the position of national advisor is set up to restrict the royal family. If they are not allowed to become the imperial advisor, it will be the other way around.
But among people who are not from the royal family, there are very few people who are willing to take over the mess left by Yuhu. What Yuhu did was said to be for the benefit of the young emperor Liu Tianming, but in fact it was a disguised attempt to suppress the authority of the royal family. It would have been fine if it had been accomplished, but now not only has it not been accomplished, but it has also ruined the reputation of the Imperial Master.
If you take over at this time, you will be targeted by the royal family. Any slight criticism will lead to a further decline in the public's evaluation of Changchun Temple." Under this background, Miao Qing rushed to the shelves and was co-signed by several elders. The elders didn't want to target him after hand-picking such a hot potato. After all, if they could do a bad job well, they would gain more reputation and benefits than a hundred good jobs could exchange for.
However, after Miao Qingbi actually took office, many of them directly followed the principle of not doing a good job except for his own job that had been set long ago. It was useful. After the initial limelight passed, basically no one cared about how well he was doing as a national teacher.
If nothing else goes wrong, as long as he has been in office for thirty years, he can be transferred to manage the monks' market near Qujiang City. The real lucrative positions are there. It is a pity that he unexpectedly appeared six years ago. , why did the disciple arranged at the city gate not inform the news, but instead was responsible for monitoring the news that Disciple Si had arrived first?
After hearing Miao Qing's words, the female alchemy cultivator opened her eyes and asked indifferently. She has a pair of red phoenix eyes, willow eyebrows like the moon, and red lips like fire. She wears a green shirt and outlines her concave and convex figure. She is extremely attractive!
On top of her, there was a sapphire earring wrapped in a faint spiritual light, with runes faintly flashing on it, which looked quite extraordinary.
This... maybe Yuan Ming put on a disguise when he entered the city. They failed to notice it in time, Miao Qing lowered his head and said.
Didn't we issue a magic weapon that could see through the disguise? After all, they still don't care. Send my order and confiscate their monthly money... and give each person ten magic whips as punishment, Elder Zha said calmly.
Miao Qing nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The disciples responsible for monitoring and guarding were all just practicing Qi. Yuan Mingjia was Ceji when he left the capital. Now, his cultivation may have increased in the past two decades outside. Even if those disciples have It would be easy for Yuan Ming to hide the magic weapon, so how could it be the responsibility of those Qi refining disciples?
But he only thought about these words in his heart and did not dare to say them to this "selfless" elder face to face. "In addition, since Yuan Ming has returned home, all the people arranged in other places should be withdrawn and transferred outside Yuan Mansion. Keep an eye on it, you go and bring Yuan Ming to see me personally," Elder Zha said again at this time.
Miao Qing sighed quietly. Although she was reluctant in her heart, but under the pressure from Elder Zha, she could only nod in agreement and turned around to make arrangements.
The night was getting darker, Yuan Ming sent his sleeping mother back to his room, and talked with his father for a long time before returning to his small house. The furnishings in the house were the same as when he left them. Although they had been away for twenty years, they were still the same. Still spotless.
Yuan Ming looked around the room, feeling another sigh in his heart. However, it was not a good time to recall the past now. He still needed to find out the intentions and trends of Changchun Temple as soon as possible. Yuan Ming soon found something from his storage bag. Zhang Chuanyin.
Fu ~ silently cast a spell to activate, "Your Majesty, I have returned to the capital and found that an elder from Changchun Temple was watching outside because of Zuo Qinghui's incident...
I wonder how much you know about this matter? Can you tell me the inside story? Yuan Ming whispered to the transmission note, and a blue light rose up from the transmission note, but it dimmed after a moment.
Going down, it seems that Yuan Ming's words have been transmitted to another corresponding talisman!
But soon the transmission talisman in Yuan Ming's hand lit up again, and Liu Tianming's voice came out, but there was only one sentence, Tianming Academy, the mountains and rivers will eventually come to an end!
Then the transmission notes completely turned into flying ash and fell. Yuan Ming frowned and thought to himself. Sure enough, the content of the jade slip placed in his father's book was simple, but only those who lived in Chunguan could understand such a precise situation. Among the royal family, the only one who could be so close to his Yuan family was the young emperor Liu Tianming!
Even Liu Tianming's grandfather didn't pay much attention to Yuan Ming and Yuan Jiachong!
However, Yuan Ming did not expect that Liu Tianming was also in the capital now, and the meeting place was at Tianming Bookstore, and there was coded communication. Maybe he sneaked out just for this matter, and it was not convenient for him to have direct contact with him!
While Yuan Ming was thinking, there was a knock on the door suddenly. Young Master, National Master Miao Qing came to visit and wanted to meet you!
"Fu Qing's voice came from the house, telling him that I was out in Qianfang City on business... I am not at home now and asked him to come back tomorrow!"
Yuan Ming groaned for a moment, and then ordered!
"Yes!" Fu Qing took the order and retreated!
"Wait a minute." If he doesn't believe me and insists on seeing me, just ask him to wait in front of me and say that he has notified me and will return after a while. Don't let him disturb his parents. At this moment, Yuan Ming remembered something and quickly opened the door to stop Fu Qing and added!
"I know," Fu Qing nodded!
Yuan Ming looked at Fu Qing's leaving figure and thought about the purpose of Miao Qing's arrival!
After meeting his parents, he did not deliberately conceal his identity, so many servants in the mansion knew about his past situation.
If the people watching outside the house are not blind, they will definitely notice this situation. What's more, it is still unclear whether there are mortal eyes from Changchun Temple among the servants in the mansion. If it is an ordinary monk, he may not pay attention to the role of mortals. But the national master who is at the political center of the Jin Dynasty will definitely not despise these mundane means!
Taoist Priest Yuhu is an example!
However, no matter where Miao Qing learned about his return or what the purpose of his visit was, Yuan Ming was not prepared to pay attention to him!
All responses had to wait until he met with Liu Tianming before he could completely decide. After a stick of incense, Yuan Ming, who had changed his appearance at Tianming Bookstore, avoided the Changchun Temple monks who were monitoring Yuan Mansion, and quietly came to the long-closed house. In the Tianming Bookstore's backyard of the store, many rooms in the backyard are still lit. The bookstore's guys are proofreading and engraving plates by candlelight, printing the next batch of popular books to be sold.
Yuan Ming's spiritual consciousness swept across the book club and soon found the residence of the book owner. He went up and knocked on the door. Not long after, the book owner, who was over fifty years old, quietly opened the door and saw a strange man standing outside the house. The man suddenly showed a surprised look on his face.
"Who are you? The mountains and rivers will eventually come to an end!" Yuan Ming did not take off his disguise and spoke the code word calmly. Hearing this, the look of surprise on the shopkeeper's face quickly disappeared, and he opened the door a little more and introduced Yuan Ming into the house, "Where is it?" We don't want to meet you, please come here to invite your distinguished guest, your lord has been waiting for a long time," the shopkeeper whispered, and quickly walked to the shelf and took down a volume.
With a slight sound, the floor slowly opened to reveal a staircase leading to the underground. Yuan Ming walked towards the basement with a calm expression. The shopkeeper of the book club did not follow but waited for Yuan Ming to go deeper and then closed the secret passage again. The stairs did not move. It wasn't long, but the end was blocked by a stone door with restrictions engraved on it. Before Yuan Ming could react, the stone door slowly opened, and Liu Tianming came out with a smile on his face.
