Chapter 166

Xuanqing and his group traveled to the doctors and arrived at Maoyuan County, near the outskirts of Beijing. There is a famous Taoist temple called Yuxu Palace. Xuanqing then took his disciples to visit.

As soon as the head of Yuxu Palace Master Guanneng saw Master Xuanqing, he hurriedly came forward and said, "Master Xuanqing, you are so elegant and just wandering around, but you don't know that Master Deming is looking for you everywhere. He has issued a notice to my temple twice and asked me to inform you on your behalf."

"Oh, I don't know this. I wonder what is the matter with Master Deming in a hurry to find me?" Xuan Qing was also surprised when he heard that it was the head of the Tianshi Cave in the capital who was looking for him.

"I don't know much about this. The master's letter did not state it clearly. He just told you to meet him after seeing you." Taoist Guanneng said truthfully, "I think there may be something urgent to discuss with you. I have brought you. You have arrived. Today, you are here to the palace, but I dare not stay for you for a long time. I hope Master will forgive you."

"Haha, haha, well, since it is something that Master Deming entrusts, the Taoist priest should do his best. How can I not cooperate as a teacher?" Taoist priest Xuanqing replied with a smile, "But Master, I have been tired all the way and my disciples are already hungry. You should treat us to this vegetarian meal. I promise that after the meal, I will set off immediately and head straight to the Tianshi Cave."

"Oh, I'm ashamed, I only know how to pass on Master Deming's important instructions, but I forgot all the landlord's suit for a moment, and almost neglected the master. I'm really embarrassed. I immediately arranged meals. No matter how important things are, I have to eat enough to do it." Master Guanneng said embarrassedly, patting his head.

After taking a meal at Yuxu Palace with his disciples, Taoist Xuanqing said goodbye and headed straight for the Tianshi Cave in the capital.

One day later, a few people came to the capital of Daxing Kingdom. The prosperous scene in the capital of Jikong and other disciples really opened their eyes.

The city in the capital is bustling and lively. The streets are wide and flat, with bluestone paved roads, high buildings on both sides, red bricks and green tiles, and above the eaves, there are carved beams and painted buildings, which are so beautiful.

At first glance, the street in front of you was centered on the tall city tower, with houses on both sides lined up, including tea shops, wine shops, butchers, temples, etc. The shops included silk, satin, jewelry, spices, incense, paper, horses, etc., all of which were available. In addition, there were medical clinics, restaurants, tea shops, fortune-telling, and all walks of life. There were also "Cailou Huanmen" at the front of the doors of the large shops, and the market recruitment flags were hung to attract business.

Let’s look at the streets, with pedestrians shoulder to shoulder and flowing endlessly. There are businessmen, gentry watching street scenes, officials riding horses, hawkers, family members riding in sedan chairs, monks carrying baskets, tourists from other places asking for directions, children in streets and alleys who heard stories, children in wealthy families drinking wildly in restaurants, disabled elderly begging by the city, men, women, young and old, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, all kinds of religions and all kinds of things.

What is most memorable is that the young women who are coming and going on the street are all wearing brocade clothes, jade belts, silk and satin, and have fragrant cheeks and pink makeup. They are beautiful and elegant. They are so shocked that a few apprentices who have never seen the world are dumbfounded and tsk.

The three apprentices were attracted by the scene in front of them and lingered for a while. They gradually distanced themselves from Master Xuanqing who was walking in front of them for a long time.

The three of them stopped in the street and were looking around. Suddenly, a very luxuriously decorated carriage rushed over. When they saw the three of them blocking the road, the horse pulling the carriage was shocked and stopped immediately.

Jikong and others were also shocked, and then suddenly realized that they were blocking other people's paths. They nodded repeatedly to apologize and hurriedly dodged. Unexpectedly, several war horses rushed out from behind the carriage, and several angry horses dressed in bright helmets and armored knights with swords blocked the way of the few people: "Who is blocking the imperial palace here, quickly surrender and escort back to the palace!"

After saying that, a few cavalry dismounted and wanted to come forward to capture Jikong and others. Jikong and his three brothers were also very frightened for a moment, afraid that they would miss the master's major affairs, but they were not willing to sit and wait for death. They all pulled up the stance, trying to follow the guards who came to fight.

At this time, the curtain on the window on the carriage was opened in a corner, revealing a woman's head. She saw that the woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, delicate and delicate, with her face condensed with goose fat, her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows were like ink, and her spirit was as delicate as autumn water. She was indescribable and delicate. Her black hair was tied with a princess bun, and a hairpin with beads of flowers was worn on it, with tassels hanging on it, which highlighted the delicate and beautiful face. She was so refined, noble and elegant that she had no smell of fireworks in the world.

I have never seen such a peerless beauties like this, but they were stunned and shocked by the gods.

"General Cai please calm down. Don't blame the passers-by. Let them go. It's important to hurry up." The woman glanced at Jikong and others, and then spoke. When the woman spoke, the tassels hanging from her head swayed. On her white face, her eyes were as bright as stars, which looked very beautiful. Although the woman's voice was not loud, it was extremely sweet and clear. It made people not obey immediately after hearing it.

After hearing the words, several guards immediately retreated and stopped caring about Jikong and others. The officers led by the army just waved their hands and asked Jikong and others to dodge them aside, and then continued to follow the car and leave on the road.

At this time, Master Xuanqing returned along the way and saw a few disciples still stunned. He shouted: "What are you doing slowly? Follow me quickly and don't get lost. It's hard to find you in such a big city."

The three brothers and brothers came to their senses, withdrew their eyes watching the carriage leave, and continued to follow the master and rush forward.

It was almost evening when the master and disciple finally arrived at the Taoist Temple Tianshi Cave located outside the outskirts of the capital. Master Deming heard the news and immediately came out. After meeting Taoist Xuanqing, he exchanged greetings and led everyone into the guest hall to sit.

After asking Xuanqing and others to drink a cup of tea, Master Deming said, "Master is really here in time. I am extremely anxious about this matter. To be honest, I am eager to see the master because I was entrusted by the court and have important things to ask for."

"How dare I not obey the mage summons? I just don't know what is in the court that makes the mage so anxious?" Taoist Master Xuanqing said with a smile.

"The master doesn't know that during the war, the emperor was hunting in the suburbs last month, but unfortunately he was bitten by a poisonous snake. This snake was very poisoned and injured on the neck. The emperor was deeply poisoned and was in danger. Many famous doctors in the palace and the people took action, but they were unable to recover the emperor and were about to die. All the doctors in the palace knew that Taoist priest, you are a saint in the medical field, and they are very good at treating snake venom. They all recommend that if you can ask you to help, there is still a ray of life.

A few days ago, the palace sent people to look for you everywhere. The national master of the dynasty also personally asked someone to bring a message to me. Please be sure to find you in time and ask you to the palace to treat the emperor." After Master Deming finished speaking in a hurry, he added: "I also know that in this situation, it is a bit embarrassing for you to take action. It's okay if you are cured. If you don't treat me, I will be guilty of being seriously injured."

"Oh, is there such a thing? Although I am not talented and have gained some false reputation, now that the king is in trouble, how can the subjects not save him? Even if there are swords and fires in front of me, I have to accept the order in the face of danger and never give up." After hearing the words, Master Xuanqing immediately stood up and said, "No need to delay, please lead me to the palace to diagnose the emperor now."
