Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

The sound of the footsteps of the two people echoed in this small Taoist temple, and they seemed extremely quiet. I glanced around: "Why are there no one?"

Chabixen glanced around and said, "Maybe I was scared."

"……Oh?"

"You know, they have been meditating in this place for decades. They have never seen so many outsiders, especially when they are so big. The young lady and the emperor came to crush this little Taoist concept."

I can't help but smile.

After walking for a while, Chabixing asked me again: "Yes, Miss, how is the situation over the academy?"

"Fortunately, Nan Zhenyi can control the overall situation, and the academy will not make any waves."

"That's good. In fact, I also know that there will be no problems if there is a master brother. But he asked me to come to work, but my father had this accident, I am afraid it will be delayed for a while."

"This is your filial piety. If he can't even tolerate this, is he worthy of being a college chief?"

I said, comforting him again, "I will let people go back to preach."

"Thank you, Miss."

After talking about this, he seemed to be relieved, his expression relaxed a little, but after walking through a promenade, he turned to look at me, and his eyes became somewhat dignified: "Miss, Brother Liu is not a little bit Is the news coming back? "

"..."

"I'm a little worried about him."

When I mentioned Qinghan, my mood was heavy, and I could not help frowning. I said, "I've been worried. The poison on his body hasn't healed yet. Even if he runs away from the west, even if he ignores me, is it Disregard yourself? "

When he heard me say that, Chabising said immediately, "He didn't ignore Miss."

"Ok?"

I turned to look at him, and Chabixing said, "Even though the situation is critical and Brother Shi seems to be in a serious state, he doesn't say much, but I can feel that he has been thinking of Miss."

"He told you?"

"No, he didn't say a word."

"..."

"But isn't he just such a person?"

I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How do you know he's thinking of me?"

"There are some things that men cannot hide, such as thinking about a person, such as wanting to sneeze-sneeze!"

As soon as I saw his face twisted, I knew that it was wrong. I took a step back and didn't let his saliva spray on his face. After sneezing, he covered his mouth and laughed. I could n’t help but smile and take it. Handkerchief handed him: "It's cold? I've been taking care of Shibo these days, haven't I taken a good rest?"

He took the handkerchief to blow his nose and said, "It's okay, I'm as strong as a bull."

"The cow still sneezes. Go back to rest and drink some hot soup. Don't really get sick."

"Oh."

Fortunately, he still listened to my words. He was busy and went back. I stood in the promenade and watched his back going away. After a while, I shook my head with a smile and turned back to live before room.

But after two turns, I found I was lost.

Although this Taoist temple is small, it is small and exquisite. It is not so much a Taoist temple, in fact, it is more like a landscape garden. The roads built according to the terrain and the corridors built on the mountain all have their Taoist meaning. , But it is for this reason that I am lost in these beauty.

I wanted to find someone to ask for directions, but after walking back and forth for a long time, I found that there is no one in this Taoist temple.

It's impossible, even the priests inside are gone?

I was walking around in amazement. There really wasn't a Taoist priest coming out to do morning classes. All the doors and windows were closed, there was no light, no noise, and it seemed that there was no one in Taoism except me.

How could this be?

I walked for a while and found myself in a small yard.

Compared with this small Taoist temple, this yard is relatively large. It may be a place of abode or a place of practice. A tall bronze incense burner is placed in the center of the courtyard. The incense inside is still burning. Someone clicked, there was a strange smell in the room. It was the smell that we always smelled outside the door and after entering this Taoist temple, but this smell was more intense than the smell outside. A little fascinating, I couldn't help but take a step forward.

Behind the incense burner is a row of three tall houses, but it does not look like a dwelling house.

Add that strong scent in the air.

I wondered, was this an alchemy room?

As I was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps inside, the door of the middle room opened from the inside, and a Taoist stepped out.

I recognized at a glance that it was the abbot who came to say hello to us last night.

He saw me and gave him a stun, but immediately walked down and saluted me: "Wuliang Shoufo, Miss Yan, the poorest."

"Director, disturbed."

"Dare you dare? The mountains and rivers, the grass and the trees in Xichuan belong to the Yan family. The young lady came here to make Cong Yunguan flourish. How could it bother you?"

Cong Yunguan. The original Taoist name is Cong Yunguan.

However, there was no plaque on the outer door of Taoist Temple, which made me think it was just a nameless observatory.

I thought about it, and smiled cheekily: "Do you mind if I go in and sit?"

The abbot was a stunned one. I probably didn't expect that I would really say that, but after looking at my sincere smile, after all, he said, "Of course, Miss please."

After speaking, I turned over and let me into that room.

As soon as I walked in, all the water vapor and coolness were swept away. The room was not only warm, but also a bit hot. A huge tanner furnace stood in the center of the house. The houses on both sides and the middle room were also connected. Each There are tall cabinets standing on three sides of the room against the wall. There are dozens of small drawers on each cabinet. The drawers are marked with the contents of each drawer. Apart from a few herbs, the others are saltpeter. , Cinnabar and other items needed for alchemy.

It turns out that the Taoist priests in this path are really some alchemists who are good at practicing alchemy.

There were no chairs to sit in, and the abbot said a little bit, "I'm afraid I'm going to be wronged."

I sat on the futon with a smile and laughed, "What a grievance."

He poured another glass of water into my hand and said, "There is no good tea here. We usually only drink water."

I said, "I don't care. The Minister doesn't need to be concerned."

Seeing me like this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat cross-legged on the futon next to him, surrounded by this incense burner, a little strange feeling, I looked at the faint anger in there, and said, " What elixir is Dao Changlian? "

The abbot only smiled and said, "Miss must want to ask, is there any immortality? In fact, there is no such elixir. If there is, the trails have already eaten Shengxian, and they still suffer in the red and turbid world. what."

I couldn't help laughing, and it was rare to meet a priest who didn't make sense of mystery. He spoke so humorously. I got a good impression of him and took a sip of white water in the water glass in my hand. Barren mountains, why did the Taoist monk practice Taoism in this place? Is it just for the convenience of alchemy? "

Hearing this question, he hesitated, and didn't answer me immediately.

In that moment of silence, I caught a strange atmosphere, and I turned to look at him. The man didn't look young, he had to be gray, his face was covered with wrinkles, and every wrinkle seemed to be hidden deep With the silent words left by some years.

I said, "Is there anything inexplicable to the Master?"

"This, neither."

Although he said that, he really showed a little hesitation on his face, looked up at me for a while, and then said, "If it is Miss Yan, we have nothing to hide, just--"

"Just what?"

"But why did Miss Yan come with the emperor?"

"..."

I paused for a moment, and then I came back a bit. What worried him was the appearance of Pei Yuanzhang, and it was me and Pei Yuanzhang who appeared together.

This is where he scruples.

I thought about it and said, "So, is there really a hidden secret for the Taoist Master?"

He frowned and looked at me, defaulting.

I could not help frowning, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, because the door was not closed, as soon as I turned my head, I saw a small figure running outside. It was exactly who greeted us last night. The little boy, as soon as he walked to the door and saw me in this alchemy room, he stunned: "Hey?"

The abbot immediately went out: "Don't you let you all stay in the house and you won't be allowed out? What do you run out of?"

I heard this sentence and glanced at the abbot. He didn't realize it. The little boy hurriedly said, "No, master, it's someone from outside."

"what?"

The abbot's brow frowned. Obviously, like the people in Tiejia Village, too many bad things happened this time, so that when strangers came, they felt that they were in trouble subconsciously.

He asked, "Who is it?"

"What balance does she claim to be? She also carries a little princess."

As soon as I heard it, I stood up and Ye Yunshuang came with Ling Ling.

She had been worried about Pei Yuanzhang before. It seems that it was not long after Pei Yuanzhang left last night that she followed with Ling Princess. The abbot looked back at me and said, "That's the emperor's concubine. Let me go out and see."

The abbot could only nod and walked out with me personally. When he walked to the door, it turned out that Ye Yunshuang and Ling Ling were escorted by a team of escorts. They were all muddy and very embarrassed. Fortunately The people we left out met them and immediately sent them here.

After a while, Pei Yuanzhang knew that they were coming, so he picked them in.

After a while of turbulence, I remembered that Ye Yunshuang came just right.
