Early the next morning, the Holy Lord moved to Wudang Mountain. Wang Ziteng led his personal guards to set up defenses at the foot of the mountain to ensure that no enemy troops suddenly appeared nearby. Then the troupes of the front office of the palace were deploying defenses along the way on the Wudang Gou's goat intestine path, and the mysterious imperial equipment was around Zhao Gou, ensuring that the emperor was safe and foolproof.
Since it was a sacrifice to the sky, Zhao Gou naturally did not feel convenient for him to sit in a soft sedan chair. In order to show his sincerity, he walked up the mountain all the way.
The road to Mount Wudang is far less dangerous than the plank road of Huashan. In addition, Zhang Sanfeng's reputation has been there over the years, emperors from all countries have invested huge sums of money to build Wudang. Even the road to the mountain is full of bluestone steps, so it is not difficult to walk.
Even so, Zhao Gou was still out of breath and stopped and rested many times along the way. The ministers who accompanied him did not dare to say a word at all. Many people pretended to be unable to climb for his sake.
The official family's health is getting worse and worse. Haven't he been in good spirits a few years ago?
I'm afraid it was the root cause of escaping the Jin Dynasty to search mountains and check the sea. Isn't this abstinence always without children?
I don’t know how long the official can last.
Fortunately, I chose the royal family to adopt two sons a few years ago. Now the prince has decided that if I really have a good fortune, the country can be kept.
Unfortunately, King Yi is talented and capable. The key is that he is a person and respectful person, and he is much more stable than the prince.
It's indeed a pity that when the palace chose two royal families to adopt it, King Yi had a great chance to inherit the throne, but for some reason, the palace finally chose the crown prince.
This time the official family came out to worship the sky, and didn’t he also bring King Yi with him? According to my opinion, the official family also has favor for King Yi, and there may not be no hope for the throne at that time.
……
These remarks have been communicated many times in private by ministers, so now everyone often understands their own meanings with one look, and they don’t need to put them into words at all.
Climbing halfway up the mountain, Zhao Gou looked back at the scenery among the clouds and mist, feeling his vision wide, and couldn't help but sigh: It's like an immortal palace.The hard work of climbing through the road was swept away in this moment.
However, when he looked up and saw the three words "Prince Po" on the plaque not far away, the smile on his face instantly frozen, and it suddenly became a little gloomy and a little scary.
Prince Po was built by the previous emperors. There is a bronze statue of Prince reading in the hall, which is the only place to study and pray for blessings in Wudang Mountain.
Scholars from all over the world came to carefully observe the prince's expression of reading, carefully understand the prince's concentration in reading, so that they can have new inspiration and understanding of their studies, in order to achieve success in their studies.
Zhao Gou also knew these reasons, but when he thought that he was not the prince in the past and the current prince was not his biological son, he felt difficult to be happy.
When the ministers heard that he praised this as a fairyland on earth, there were many people who flattered him, but they noticed that he looked bad and did not say anything.
Walk!Zhao Gou originally planned to rest here, but now he is not in the mood, so he will continue to move upwards.
When the ministers saw the words "Prince Po", they guessed a little bit, thinking that the official family's heart disease was really bad. They were so tired of climbing the mountain before, but they were so angry that they now climbed the mountain like nothing happened.
The atmosphere of the entire team became much more dull and they had already climbed the mountain before they knew it.
Yin Liting led the disciples of the Wudang Sect to welcome the emperor at the gate of Zixiao Palace. Only Wudang Mountain has this honor. If other sects, not to mention being welcomed in Xiangyang, at least they should be welcomed at the foot of the mountain. However, those who practice Taoism pay attention to tranquility and inaction, and they must maintain the mysterious image of an immortal. Therefore, all dynasties must have the attitude of the emperor seeking immortals and asking for Taoism. If you are too enthusiastic and enthusiastic, you will not have any immortality, how can the emperor believe you?
Of course, there is no need for the Wudang Sect to learn from the Taoist priests, but now there is a recognized land immortal on the mountain, which makes the entire Wudang Sect have corresponding demeanor, so naturally disdain for the flattery of ordinary sects.
Why are you the only one here, Zhang Zhenren, and Song Daxia and Yu Erxia?Even though he roughly guessed what was going on, Zhao Gou asked meaningfully.
Yin Liting indeed showed a struggle, and after a long time, he replied: Master is in seclusion, and the eldest and second brothers are also studying with the master, so...
The eunuch on the side couldn't help but come out and scolded: You are so brave in Wudang Mountain. The court has sent someone to notify you, but you all avoided it. Have you taken the official family seriously?
Yin Liting looked embarrassed: I dare not, but when the post in the palace was delivered, the master and the others were already in seclusion, and the relationship this time was critical and could not come out before it was completed.
Is that true?Zhao Gou waved his hand to stop the eunuch from continuing to scold him. I wonder where Zhenren Zhang was in seclusion and what was so important?
Yin Liting replied: When he returned to the official's house, his master was in seclusion in the back mountain and studied and improved the Zhenwu Seven-Seal Formation with his senior brother.
Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation?Zhao Gou frowned and glanced at the guard.
With the help of the imperial equipment, Ding Dian was in the world for the longest time and naturally knew more about the things in the world than others. He stepped forward and replied: Go back to the official family, the Zhenwu Seven-Seal Formation was a magical martial art created by Zhang Zhenren who was inspired by the turtle and snake mountains in front of the Zhenwu statue. However, the martial arts evolved from the majestic turtle and snake mountains cannot be used at the same time by one person.So he taught the seven disciples that each had a set of martial arts, each with its subtle and mysterious features. If the two of them worked together, their offensive and defensive makeup would be greatly enhanced.If the three of them are envoys together, the power is twice as powerful as the two of them... and so on, the seven heroes of Wudang work together to use it, which is equivalent to the sixty-four first-class experts taking action at the same time.
oh?Zhao Gou's expression moved. Since there is such a magical formation, why do you still have to go into seclusion to study?
Yin Liting replied: The official family doesn’t know that this formation requires seven people to be used. Unfortunately, the fifth brother committed suicide and died. The third brother was injured by the strong Vajra finger. After finally healing it, something happened to the seventh brother…
Zhao Gouqi said: Didn’t you just say that the power of the two people has doubled, and the power of the three people is twice as powerful. You still have at least four or five people now. Can you still use it?
Yin Liting replied: I did use it before. That time, my senior brother, second brother, and fourth brother fought with Wuji... because of a misunderstanding. As a result, we were defeated by four enemies. Although there were many strange moves from the other party, the four of us were defeated so badly, which made the master realize that there were flaws in the Zhenwu Seven-Sealing Formation. So I have been thinking about the method of perfection over the years. It was not long ago that I had inspiration and summoned the senior brother with the highest martial arts skills and the second brother to go and improve it together.
Zhao Gou frowned secretly. He heard that he was reasonable and well-founded, as if he was talking about the truth. He could understand Jia Sidao. Since he chose Wudang Mountain to take action, how could he let Zhang Sanfeng and Wudang Xia ignore the forces?
Unless Zhang Sanfeng and the Wudang Sect surrender to Jia Sidao... but this idea was extinguished by him as soon as it arose. If Zhang Sanfeng could be bought, he would not become a land god admired by all countries in the world.
After I have completed my sacrifice to heaven, I will go to see Zhenren Zhang.
As if feeling the cold wind on the top of the mountain, Zhao Gou couldn't help but cough, and then signaled the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the disciples of Wudang to prepare for sacrifice to the sky.
In fact, there was nothing to prepare. The officials who were supposed to prepare had already come in advance. It was soon Zhao Gou's turn to take the stage to worship the heavens with the article carefully prepared by the Grand Secretary of the dynasty.
During the whole process, some ordinary officials and low-level Wudang disciples were all excited, but only a few insiders were tightly pressed by big stones, and they did not dare to relax for a moment.
Yin Liting looked at the road up the mountain several times, with a look of sorrow on his face. If Qingshu could not come back in time, I am afraid that Wudang would experience an unprecedented disaster this time.
The whole process lasted for several hours, and the audience was in a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Although many people complained about Zhao Gou’s actions over the years, people in this era respected ghosts and gods, and no one dared to show any strangeness.
After the sacrifice of heaven was completed, Zhao Gou said to the people around him: As expected, they should not take action when sacrificed to heaven.
Li Yanshi nodded and replied in a low voice: It is indeed not a good time to worship the sky.
If the assassin belongs to the Jin Kingdom, there is no need to care about these things, but this time the opponent's ultimate goal is to come for the throne. If he kills the lord in full view of everyone, no one can afford such a reputation.
Since they don’t have a chance, I will give them a chance.Zhao Gou snorted coldly.
Li Yanshi hurriedly advised: The official family thought twice, but it is not enough to be defeated by the death. At this time, when we go down the mountain, we have a large army escort, and everything is still in time.
Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: After planning for so long, how can you give up when things come to an end?
Ignoring Li Yanshi's persuasion, I sent someone to invite Yin Liting: It is not easy for me to leave the palace, and Wudang is thousands of miles away from Lin'an. I don't know if I will have a chance to see Zhenren Zhang again in this life, so can I trouble Yin Liuxia to invite Zhenren Zhang to come.
Hearing his sincere words, his trembling appearance now is not like a king of a country, but rather like an ordinary old man. Yin Liting couldn't bear it: The official family is so sincere. If it were the past, the master would definitely come, but now he can't get rid of himself... After leaving the customs, the master will definitely go to pay homage to the official family in person, so why should the official family be anxious?
After a pause, he couldn't help but add in a low voice: It would be better to return to the palace early to stay in the capital.
Zhao Gou was a little surprised when he heard his semantic pun and had a secret reminder. However, now, he did not mean to retreat: Since Zhenren Zhang is in seclusion and has no time to clone, then I will go to the Houshanzhu Forest Courtyard to visit the real person in person. Even if Zhenren Zhang cannot come out, it is good to teach him through the door.
After saying that, he asked the accompanying ministers to stay here to deal with the various red tape left over for sacrifice to the sky. He took the imperial guards and found a Wudang disciple to lead the way and headed to the back mountain.
Yin Liting gritted his teeth and wanted to persuade him again. Suddenly, one person stood in front of him: No need to worry, the official family is the true dragon emperor, and there must be protection from gods and Buddhas in the sky, so the evil demons and heretics naturally cannot hurt him.
Looking up, he found a monk with a red face looking at him with a smile. Yin Liting was shocked. Over the years, he received guidance from his master and senior brother, and he devoted himself to practicing martial arts and made great progress. Looking at the world, he is already a first-class master, and he can vaguely judge the strength of a person's strength through his energy.
He had already felt the power of the qi and blood of the emperor with the imperial equipment. Among the heroes of Wudang, only the eldest and second brothers could barely compete with them. However, the monk in front of him was obviously standing here, but he could not feel the other party's existence. He had never felt this feeling, that is, every time he faced his master.
Could this person be a master?But when did Shaolin Temple have such masters?
Since it was a sacrifice to the sky, Zhao Gou naturally did not feel convenient for him to sit in a soft sedan chair. In order to show his sincerity, he walked up the mountain all the way.
The road to Mount Wudang is far less dangerous than the plank road of Huashan.
