The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 17

The little Taoist priest is a female crown, her Taoist clothes are neat and tidy, and she is also clean. She doesn't hold the dust or carry a sword, but just stands in the middle of the road with a pair of small snow-white hands on her back.

The little Taoist looked at Zhao Tun curiously, Zhao Tun was riding in front at the moment, Zhao Yeyu Lion was a taller horse, so the little Taoist could only look up, his eyes were crescent-shaped, very beautiful.

Zhao Tun took a commander of the Dragon Guard Army out of Beijing this time, and the actual number should be about 900. However, because of the lack of horses, and the lack of pay for the imperial army, this commander actually only has 400 troops. There are many people, less than half of the staff, counting the personal guards, there are about 500 handymen.

The little Taoist stared at Zhao Tun, and the commander of the Dragon Guard Army couldn't help but said aside: "But the Taoist from Shangqing Palace? How rude!"

Although the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is corrupt, but Longwei is the fourth army, no matter whether they can fight or not, their momentum is always very familiar.

When the little Taoist was called out, he was relieved, but he didn't pay attention to the commander of the army, but said to Zhao Tun: "Excuse me, are you from the capital?"

Zhao Tun smiled and signaled the commander of the army not to make any noise, and said: "It is the King of Qi, Zhao Tun, who came from Tokyo and wanted to go up the mountain to worship the God of Heaven and pray for blessings."

The little Taoist nodded and said: "My name is Zhang Miaojie, if you want to go up the mountain, you can follow me."

Zhao Tong said: "How does the little priest know where I come from?"

The little Taoist smiled and said: "Looking at the image of the flag, it's such a big scene, it's not like ordinary officials."

Zhao Tuo said nothing, he insisted on coming to Longhu Mountain, it was because of the incident of Taiwei Hong taking away the demon by mistake, he wanted to see if there really was demon magic in this world, after all he had a lot of things to do in the future, always Be prepared.

In fact, he doesn't really believe in these things, but since it's Water Margin, he always has to verify and take a look to feel at ease.

Zhao Tong said: "Then Taoist Master Lao will lead the way."

The little Taoist said: "Just call me by my name, and there are too many of you, with carts and horses, all of them go up the mountain and have nowhere to put them."

Zhao Tang looked back, and it was easy to say that the horses, horses and luggage could not continue on the way, so after thinking about it, he gave an order to take only Lei Sanhong and Qi Qi, and the others stayed at the foot of the mountain to set up tents and camps.

The three of them went up the mountain with the little Taoist priest, and Zhao Tong chatted on the way: "Is the celestial master on the mountain?"

Zhang Miaojie said: "I don't know either, the Heavenly Master wanders in the clouds and the wild cranes are hard to find. Sometimes they will appear, but if you look for them deliberately, you will never see them."

Zhao Tong's original intention was to meet this Heavenly Master Zhang. After all, this Heavenly Master still sits in Longhu Mountain during the Renzong Dynasty. When Taiwei Hong came, the Heavenly Master looked like a young man, and he must be in his sixtieth year now. The meaning of the Taoist is not easy to meet.

He said: "Miaojie Xiaojie is waiting here specially?"

Zhang Miaojie said slyly: "My lord, you think too much, I just met you by chance when you returned to the mountain, so you think I have a clever plan?"

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "Isn't everyone rumored that Longhushan's spells are powerful, needless to say that the celestial master is respected, and all real people are also extraordinary, so the prediction may not be untrue!"

Zhang Miaojie shook her head and said, "I'm just a Taoist boy, not a real person."

Seeing her lively spirit, Zhao Tun couldn't help teasing: "Since your surname is Zhang, you are naturally a celestial master, but you can also be a little celestial master."

Zhang Miaojie blinked her eyes and said: "There is no woman who is a teacher. It turns out that you are Ye Gong and love dragons. You have only a half-knowledge, and you don't understand our Longhu Mountain at all!"

Zhao Tuan was amused, he knew that Miaojie was indeed from Zhang Tianshi's lineage, but he didn't know how it was related to the contemporary Tianshi.

After a while, the four of them came to the Shangqing Palace, because they were not following the order to announce the tune, nor did they discuss it in advance, there was no guard of honor in the palace, and Zhao Tang didn't care about it. good.

Standing in front of the palace, Zhao Tun looked it over carefully, it was a good Shangqing palace, but saw:
The green pines are buckling, and the green cypresses are dense.On the door hangs a gold book with imperial edicts and jade seals, and by the side of Xuhuang's altar, there are faintly weeping willows and famous flowers;

There are also steps under which water leaks and splashes, surrounded by mountains behind the wall courtyard.Cranes grow red tops, turtles grow green hairs.On the top of the tree, there is an ape offering fruit, and in the sedge, there is a white deer holding a white deer.On the Sanqing Hall, Taoist priests beat the golden bell to walk empty;The incense platform is built, and the colorful clouds shine on the blue glaze; the Yao altar is summoned, and the red sun shadow shakes the red agate.

"Sure enough!" Zhao Tang couldn't help but praise.

Zhang Miaojie led several people in, and immediately notified the Taoist attendants, and the Taoist priests who presided over the real people's halls were invited to welcome them.

After exchanging pleasantries, they all went to the Sanqing Hall, and after offering incense, Zhao Tang asked, "Where is the Celestial Master today?"

The real person in charge reported forward: "So that the prince can know that this generation of ancestors is called Xujing Tianshi. He is very noble and noble. He is tired of welcoming and seeing off. He does not live in the palace and does not preside over him. He lives freely in the thatched cottage on the top of Longhu Mountain on weekdays." , cultivating one’s true nature, but the other day I suddenly left a message to travel around the East China Sea, and I’m afraid I’ve been away for a long time now.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tang glanced at the little crowned lady Zhang Miaojie, and nodded, no matter whether she was really absent or didn't want to see her, it was not a matter of forcing.

Immediately, he went to another place to drink tea and offer sacrifices. After the meal, the Taoist servants were dismissed, and Zhao Tuo asked Zhang Miaojie where to go to the Temple of Fumo.

Zhang Miaojie was not surprised, she just said: "Earlier, my father-in-law told me that if someone goes up the mountain and wants to see the Temple of Fumo, let him see it, but there is nothing to see inside right now."

"Elder-in-law?" Knowing that this is the meaning of grandpa in the local dialect, Zhao Tong thought for a while and asked, "But Tianshi Zhang?"

The little Taoist hurriedly covered his face and said, "Accidentally slipped my mouth, you must have missed it."

Zhao Tong shook his head: "So you are Zhang Tianshi's granddaughter, why didn't you hear this? I said why you can travel unimpeded in this palace, so there is this reason."

Zhang Miaojie bowed her head and said nothing, Zhao Tuo didn't know what she was thinking, she was silent for a moment and said, "Can the little Taoist priest Miaojie take me to Fumo Temple?"

Zhang Miaojie raised her head and showed a small face: "When do you want to see it?"

Seeing her agreeing, Zhao Tang thought that the sooner the better, he said, "How about going now?"

Zhang Miaojie agreed, Zhao Tun only took Hong Qi with her, and followed her out of the Taoist room.

The Shangqing Palace is vast and spacious, with the little female crown in front Zhang Miaojie leading the way. Along the way, the Sanqing Hall, Jiutian Hall, Ziwei Hall, and Beibei Hall are all solemn and sacred, as well as the Taiyi Hall, Sanguan Hall, and Exorcism Hall.

After walking to a place behind the right corridor, when Zhao Tun looked at it, it was another palace, with red mud walls all around, and two vermilion doors on the front, with thick iron chains wrapped around the doors, but no locks could be seen. , there are dozens of covers pasted on the cross, and the red seals are overlapped on the covers, but this cover has long been extremely mottled, and even opened the side, as if it would fall off if touched.

Looking up, there is a vermilion lacquered gold plaque on the front of the eaves, with four gold characters written on it, but it is the "Palace of Subduing Demons".
