Chapter 40 From Qingxu Palace to Xingyue Hall
In the middle of the night, Zhao Hanyu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Maybe it’s to recognize the bed, maybe it’s to have thousands of questions, maybe it’s to have unclear future, but it’s difficult to sleep.
Next door to the left are Murong Qianfan and Ximen Guang.
Murong Qianfan was not so bad. Ximen Guang's snoring sounded like thunder, which made the rest of the residents of the entire "Hongbin Tower" complain.
However, since the people who live in "Hongbinlou" are either rich or noble, they will offend a great man if they are not careful, so the rest of the people dare not say much.
It was not until the third hour of Yin that Zhao Hanyu fell asleep in a daze. After the hour of Mao, the routine habit he had developed for more than ten years made him wake up on time.
He stood up and looked out the window. At this time, the excitement of the capital had dissipated and there was silence.
He calmed down for a moment, got out of bed and put on his clothes, returned to bed and sat quietly, and started morning class.
According to Master Xuanwei's words, he did not fail to practice, but he had to slowly draw it until he had penetrated the two acupoints in succession.
Since the day he left the mountain, in addition to washing marrow and innovating bones every morning class, he has been quietly guiding his true energy to impact his eighth acupoints without slacking off. However, the days are still short and there is not much progress for the time being.
More than an hour passed, Zhao Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief, his exercise stopped, and the morning class had already finished.
Someone knocked on the door outside the house, and Zhao Hanyu jumped out of bed and opened it. It turned out that the waiter brought a large wooden barrel and a few pots of hot water. The words were ordered by Mr. Murong, Room No. 3, forbidden.
Zhao Hanyu nodded and asked the waiter to send all the tools into the house. He felt secretly relieved. His close friend was meticulous and had not been lazy in recent times.
After he finished his bathing, he changed into a black Taoist robe, his hair was combed meticulously, and then he tied a simple Taoist bun, fixed it with a simple wooden twig, and his whole body was clean and neat.
Zhao Hanyu came to the lobby, and Murong Qianfan and the other three were already waiting here.
The four of them left the inn, and casually found a snack bar and used some simple pasta and gave up.
Murong Qianfan wiped his mouth and said, "Now Uncle Ke and I go to Tianyu Academy. The big monkey wants to apply for the Qingxu Villa..."
Ximen Guang immediately interrupted and said angrily: "Who is the big monkey?"
"Well, it's you... Don't interrupt. You and Zhao Hanyu are on the same road. Qingxu Palace and the other courtyard are separated by a wall. You can see it when you turn around and walk to the next street intersection. The three of us are separated for the time being. If there is any further news, go back to the inn and leave a letter and make a statement. Can you please?"
Zhao Hanyu nodded in agreement. Ximen Guang glared at him without saying much. The two saluted Lao Ke and turned around and left.
Murong Qianfan watched the two of them reach the corner and then walked with Lao Ke Chaotian Yuyuan.
The morning sun shines gently, and there are very few pedestrians on the wide road. Perhaps the night in the capital is too colorful, and people are used to sleeping at night and rising up at the last minute.
Zhao Hanyu and the others walked slowly on the street where four carriages could be used to travel in parallel, and looked at the houses in the capital everywhere.
Ximen Guang was amazed at the mansions that were obviously more luxurious than other towns. The carvings of dragons and phoenixes, and the auspicious beasts of stone lions and auspicious animals in the house made him very strange and amazed.
Zhao Hanyu still looked calm and gentle, but in fact he was also touched in his heart.
Turning around the corner of the street, a huge shadow broke into the sight of the two of them not far ahead.
The two looked up and saw that about a mile away, the street with a huge black temple-like building stood on the left side, which was a little long, but it stretched several miles wide. On the top of the building, several fairy birds were hovering and flying.
It is already shocking on the side, but if you walk to the front, you don’t know how spectacular it will be.
The two looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
When they walked to the front of the building, their mood went from shock to indescribable.
Ximen Guang murmured: "Even the Great Emperor Palace in Tianjing City is not so grand."
Zhao Hanyu looked at the ancient palace gate and looked at the three ancient seal characters "Qingxu Palace" on the huge plaque. He naturally felt a sense of admiration and yearning in his heart.
But then, this feeling was dissolved by the two sharp eyes of the two golden armored iron axes in front of the door and the powerful guards.
He said to Ximen Guang: "I have found the palace gate, and I guess the other courtyard is not far ahead. Let's leave now, remember to leave a message in the inn." He said that he had finished his clothes and was ready to come forward to report.
Ximen Guang opened his mouth a few times and couldn't speak. He had made up his mind to bypass Murong Qianfan and ask Zhao Hanyu about his meridians in private, but unfortunately he was attracted by the scenery on the way he came and forgot about important things.
Seeing Zhao Hanyu lifting his hands up and preparing to salute, Ximen Guang had to sigh in anger and turn around and leave.
Zhao Hanyu stepped forward and bowed to the two guards solemnly, saying, "Please report to the real person Lingxiao. Zhao Hanyu came to ask for a meeting." After that, he stood calmly.
I originally thought it would be like in the novels of the story. The gatekeepers and guards of wealthy families were all difficult people and were used to making things difficult for ordinary people. Zhao Hanyu had already made up his mind that once the two of them had trouble, they would turn around and leave, and wait until someone else would change their guards to come and ask for a meeting tomorrow.
The two guards looked at each other and nodded to express their understanding. The man in the left hand actually clasped his fists and bowed to Zhao Hanyu and said, "The National Master has given me a long time ago. Go and report immediately. Please wait for a while." After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Hanyu to react, he turned into the palace gate with an iron axe.
Before Zhao Hanyu was stopped, he felt relieved, nodded to the other guard, and began to look at the scenery outside Qingxu Palace.
Soon, a vicious old man in a Taoist robe walked out with the guard. The guard pointed at Zhao Hanyu with his right hand and said respectfully: "Master of the Palace, this is this person." After that, he stood back to the palace gate with an iron axe in his hand.
Zhao Hanyu was about to come forward to worship, but he was stunned when he heard this, Lord Palace Master? Could this be not a master?
The old man had white beards and eyebrows, with an ancient appearance and a kind expression. He smiled and said to the dazed Zhao Hanyu, "Come here, come here, kid, don't panic. The old Taoist is the master of the Tianyu Hall under the seat of the National Master, and the Taoist name is Qiufeng. Just call me Master Qiufeng."
Zhao Hanyu gave a deep bow and asked, "Uncle Qiufeng, where is the National Master at this moment? My nephew was ordered to come and ask for a visit."
Taoist Qiu Feng still smiled and said, "Child, a few days ago, the national teacher had a deep conversation with the old master, and the content was related to you. Given some reasons that are difficult to explain clearly, the national teacher cannot see you for the time being, but has made arrangements for your current situation. Now I will take you to do the first thing, you can think it is an exam for the national teacher to you. Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing, a bold attempt is."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Hanyu to ask questions, he stepped forward and pulled his arm and walked around.
Zhao Hanyu was full of doubts, but the uncle Qiu Feng in front of him had kind-hearted eyebrows and kind words, and it was difficult to refute or struggle anyway, so he had to follow him.
After walking through two street intersections, turn right and walk for a mile. At the end of the road, there is a white jade courtyard gate engraved with four seal characters "Star and Moon Hall".
Taoist Qiu Feng led Zhao Hanyu to the outside of the yard and stopped, stroking his beard and smiling without saying a word.
Zhao Hanyu didn't understand why, and asked, "Uncle Master, what's the matter here?"
Taoist Qiu Feng turned around and smiled, "I heard that you are deeply loved by Huayang Real People and inherited his medical skills. The National Master's first teaching exam started from here. How about it, will you treat people's illness?"
Zhao Hanyu was shocked and thought to himself, how did he know where I was from? Is this a trap or a trial?
Taoist Qiu Feng ignored his surprise and took his hand and walked straight towards the gate of the guild hall.
