Chapter 110: The Immortal Gate in the Palace
In this war that lasted for thousands of years, the Hidden Immortal Gate has always been at a disadvantage, the Hidden Immortal Gate has wanted to subvert the secular world several times, and restore to the past dominated by the Immortal Sect, for which they provoked wars several times, although the final result was all failed, but the secular world also paid a heavy price, hundreds of thousands of people died before and after, and countless masters of the secular world fell.
Similarly, the hidden immortal sect also paid a heavy price, countless sects interrupted the inheritance in the war, and countless sects were seriously weakened by the war, but it is difficult for the secular world to completely eliminate the immortal sect, the most important thing is that the personal combat power of the immortal gate is too strong, and all the mountain gates of the immortal gate are a chasm that is difficult to cross for the secular world.
After entering the Great Jin Dynasty, the threat of the Hidden World Immortal Gate to the secular world was much smaller, in the early period of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were still a few people in the Hidden World Immortal Gate who came out to make trouble, but they were eliminated by the masters gathered by the imperial court, and the Hidden World Immortal Gate was further weakened, and then, the eloquent Emperor Taizong played a very wise chess.
Emperor Taizong secretly reached an agreement with the Hidden Immortal Gate, the secular world and the Hidden Immortal Gate reconciled, the well water of the two sides does not interfere with the river water, and the Hidden Immortal Gate can operate in the secular world, but it must be registered in the imperial court, and the law of the secular court must not be destroyed, and at the same time, it must do its best to maintain the secular court.
This condition is not good for the hidden immortal gate, but the hidden immortal gate had to agree, at that time, the Great Jin Dynasty was like the rising sun, thriving, social stability, Siyi Binfu, Taizong with a strong national strength as the backing, with Mount Tai pressing the top of the momentum, coercing the hidden immortal gate, the hidden immortal gate after repeated defeats, had to agree to Taizong's conditions.
Since then, for hundreds of years, both sides have been stable, and the Hidden Immortal Sect has gradually discovered that this agreement is also very beneficial to them, and it is not all bad as imagined, at least their lives, some cultivation materials, and recruiting disciples are no longer in any trouble.
Of course, not every Hidden World Sect is satisfied with the agreement, every once in a while, there are always a few characters who jump out and try to challenge the bottom line of the Imperial Court, but they are always hunted down by the Imperial Court and the Hidden World Immortal Sect.
Gradually, no one from the fairy gate came out. But the court did not forget, let alone relax. The Hidden Immortal Gate has always been a problem for the imperial court.
Gonggong Lin still hadn't woken up from the shock, and Gonggong Mu continued to look through the report, and the last page of the report listed the people who had been to Pengcheng during that time, all of whom were a little famous in the rivers and lakes.
"Hmph, useless things!" Father-in-law Mu quickly glanced at these names, and couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, these names were useless to him, and the person who could kill Chang Meng silently would not appear on this list, and he threw the report in front of Gonggong Lin.
"Old Ancestor," Gonggong Lin woke up, picked up the report, and turned to the last page: "Old Ancestor, look here." ”
Father-in-law Mu raised his eyes and looked at the line that Gonggong Lin pointed to, and there was a name on it, Liu Mo.
"What's wrong?" asked Grandpa Mu with a frown.
"The intelligence collected by the Pengcheng group shows that this person has recently joined the Kuaidaotang, in fact, he has not completely joined the Kuaidaotang, he came back from Youzhou Saiwai, he was originally a disciple of Xiangyang Shilong, after Shilong was killed by the emperor, all the disciples were killed, he fled to the outside of the Saiwai, after the emperor ascended the throne, he amnesty the world, returned to the Central Plains, and met Zhang Qiang of Kuaidaotang on the way to Jiangnan, the two of them seemed to be old acquaintances, so, this Liu Mo followed the activities of Kuaidaotang, this person cultivated well, and was resourceful and changeable, Zhang Qiang's team If it were not for him, they would all have to die. ”
Father-in-law Mu frowned slightly, a little impatient: "Xiao Linzi, how did you become a mother-in-law." ”
Gonggong Lin smiled and sighed: "Maybe it's because I've been here for a long time." ”
Grandpa Mu glanced at this room, and the courtyard outside the door, there were just the two of them in the room, the courtyard was quiet, there was no sound, but even a cat, without permission, it was impossible to enter this room.
"This Liu Mo took away a female disciple of Feiyan Hall from Feiyan Hall the day after Chang Meng's disappearance. ”
Gonggong Mu was still a little puzzled, and Gonggong Lin said: "I sent someone to check, Shilong has a closed disciple, also surnamed Liu, after Shilong was arrested, he fled, but I don't know where he fled to." ”
"What do you mean?" Grandpa Mu still didn't understand.
"We reported in the Cao Gang's internal line that Fang Zhen still did not give up on the imperial capital, however, in order to guard against us, he sent a newcomer to the imperial capital and opened a new secret rudder, this newcomer is not a member of the Cao Gang, and this newcomer is either surnamed Liu or surnamed Liu. ”
Gonggong Mu heard something, and he frowned slightly: "You mean that the person in charge of this secret helm sent by Fang Zhen to the imperial capital is Liu Mo?"
Gonggong Lin nodded and said, "Yes, old ancestor." ”
Father-in-law Mu thought about it and frowned again: "Even if this Liu Mo was sent to the imperial capital by Fang Zhen, what does this have to do with Chang Meng?"
Gonggong Lin didn't speak, his fingers moved slowly on the report, and he kept tapping lightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Father-in-law Mu knew this disciple of his, and among all his disciples, Gonggong Lin was the most thoughtful, and his best ability was to find the most crucial clues from a large pile of seemingly unrelated information. But it is precisely because of this that he pays too much attention to trivial matters and is not decisive enough.
And to control the internal defense, decisiveness is a more important quality.
"This matter is like this for the time being, Chen Guojun's affairs must be grasped quickly," Mu Gonggong stood up, he had too many things to do, and he was so busy every day that he couldn't land on his feet.
Gonggong Lin raised his head and looked at him, and when he saw that he was leaving, his confusion swept away, and he hurriedly got up: "My son will send the ancestor." ”
Father-in-law Mu didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't look back, and Father-in-law Lin didn't send it out, but sat down again after he went out, still looking at the report.
Looking at it, Gonggong Lin suddenly seemed to remember something, clapped his hands outside, and a little eunuch appeared at the door.
"Go and bring me the report on the number 16 that you just filed. ”
The little eunuch said yes crisply, then disappeared outside the door, and soon returned, placing a thick stack of files on the desk of Gonggong Lin, and then quickly disappeared, as if the gloom in this room made him feel frightened, and he did not want to stay longer even for a moment.
Father-in-law Lin saw it quickly, frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand something, and after a while, he stopped on a piece of paper and stared at it.
Mu Gonggong went out of the courtyard of the internal guard, did not go back to the harem, nor did he go to his own resting place, but went straight to a side courtyard in the depths of the palace, this side courtyard is hidden in a lush jungle, from the outside, there is no courtyard here, even if you get to the door, you can't see anything strange about this side courtyard, on the contrary, this side courtyard is still a little dilapidated, the red paint on the courtyard door has been mottled and discolored, and there are withered yellow withered grass swaying with the cold wind on the courtyard wall.
Father-in-law Mu got off the sedan chair at the gate of the courtyard, looked up at the tall trees around him, the trees here are very tall and large, some trees require several people to hug, and the trees are full of fallen leaves, obviously no one has cleaned them for a long time.
This situation has to be placed in other palaces, I am afraid that the little eunuch in charge will be pulled out and beaten half to death, but now Gonggong Mu just glanced at it and went straight in without saying anything.
The courtyard was very empty, and a little eunuch hurriedly came out of the wing room, and quickly ran to Gonggong Mu and knelt down: "The little one asks the ancestor for peace." ”
The little eunuch didn't speak loudly, a little shrill and shrill, Gonggong Mu hummed and swept his eyes casually: "Are you new here?"
"I don't know, it's been nine months since the little one entered the palace, and I haven't seen that Zhang Shou. The little eunuch replied, still in a loud voice.
"Get up," Grandpa Mu said casually, suddenly feeling that something was wrong with him, he had never said these three words in the past.
"Old Ancestor Xie!" The little eunuch got up from the ground, and Gonggong Mu glanced at it again, the little eunuch looked like he was fifteen or sixteen, and he was very delicate.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the ancestors, the master named the little one Xiaozyzi. The little eunuch replied, Gonggong Mu frowned slightly, and sighed in his heart, this courtyard is called the Tomb of the Dead in the palace, and there is almost no benefit to serving here, and all the eunuchs who entered this small courtyard seized any opportunity to jump out.
"Is it Wu Gao?"
"Back to my ancestors, yes. Xiao Hezi took a bite of an ancestor, his head was always humbly lowered, and his body was still shaking from time to time, as if he was shocked and excited, but his words were very clever.
Father-in-law Mu asked about the food and clothing here, and Xiaohezi answered in detail, and then he nodded slightly, with three points of satisfaction on his face.
Xiao Hezi still lowered his head and didn't see his expression, and the eunuchs who followed Gonggong Mu were waiting outside the courtyard, even more unaware.
Mu Gonggong walked straight into the main room, and Xiao Hezi followed in, made him tea with his hands and feet, and then stood aside quietly.
Father-in-law Mu took a sip of tea first, lowered his waist, sighed slightly, and then nodded, Xiaohezi bowed down and went out, and after a while, three sounds of gold and stone sounded behind the main room.
After three sounds, the courtyard returned to calm, as quiet as if no one was there.
After a while, the sunlight at the door was blocked, and a man in black walked in slowly, this person appeared quietly, and even the air was not alarmed, as if he had been here, this was going to change people, most of them had to be frightened, but Gonggong Mu didn't seem to see anything, he was still drinking tea calmly, and the man in black didn't seem to see this old eunuch who was in power, Shi Shiran came in and sat straight on the chair.
As soon as the man in black sat down, a man in blue floated in outside the door, and the man in blue appeared at the door abruptly like a man in black, and then came in casually.
The man in blue sat down for a while, and Xiao Hezi hurriedly ran in, poured tea for the man in black and the man in blue, and then saluted Gonggong Mu before slowly withdrawing.
There was silence in the room, a wind blew, and the fallen leaves floated, licking a little more gloomy.
"I'm going to ask two real people for advice. Father-in-law Mu said slowly, the man in black and the man in blue did not speak, his eyes were half-closed, and Father-in-law Mu sighed in his heart: "Two real people, Your Majesty asked me to ask two real people." ”
The man in blue and the man in black are like two bodhisattvas, and the autumn sun shines obliquely on them.
"Something happened recently, it seems that I don't know that there is a new person in that mountain gate, I don't know if the two real people know?"
Still didn't answer, the two of them still sat upright, like a wind blowing through their ears, but they didn't even blow a single hair.
Father-in-law Mu sighed, at the peak, there were six representatives of the Hidden Immortal Sect in the palace, but now there are only two left, they usually cultivate in the palace, and they don't go out of the gate, they don't care about anything else except cultivation, however, they can still contact the sect in a secret way.
Seeing this, Gonggong Mu frowned, and then sighed: "Didn't the two real people hear about it at all?"
The man in blue and the man in black were still silent, and the two of them sat there silently, and Gonggong Mu was silent again, holding a teacup and drinking water, and the room fell silent again.
Koheko was very nervous, he didn't dare to go too far or get too close, his head hung low, staring at the ground, and a few black ants were walking through the fallen leaves, very busy.
The voice of Father-in-law Mu sounded in the room again, but the man in blue and the man in black still did not speak.
Xiao Hezi was very surprised, although the pedigree of these two people was big, they had never been like this, and they completely ignored it, since they didn't care about the power of the old ancestor at all.
He looked up at the room and then quickly lowered his head, what surprised him even more was that the old ancestor was not angry at all, and he couldn't help but secretly touch the pamphlet in his sleeve.
At the beginning of entering the palace, he was assigned to the Needlework Bureau, but a few days later, he was assigned here again.
Before he came here, he didn't understand what kind of palace this was, but after he arrived here, he realized why the eunuchs in the Needlework Bureau looked at him with such complicated and pitiful eyes, and more gloating.
There was no one else in this courtyard except the man in blue and the man in black, and there were few people except him in normal times, except for the eunuch who delivered the meal, no one else came, and there was no sound in the whole courtyard, just like a desert.
His daily work is very simple, he gets up in the morning to clean the yard, but the outside of the yard must not be moved, and the small courtyards behind him must not enter without orders, if he enters without orders, he will be killed on the spot.
In the past nine months, he has been cautious, for fear of upsetting the two real people, but fortunately, these two real people also looked at him in the air, and there was no presence of him in their eyes.
This situation was not loosened until half a month ago, although he was born in a family of gate valves, but he also learned a little from the family generals, but the cultivation is extremely shallow, these years in exile in the rivers and lakes, cultivation does not advance but retreats. After a few months in this courtyard, in order to kill the boring time here, he began to practice again, and one day, when he opened his eyes, he saw the man in blue standing in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.
He was frightened at the time, quickly stood up, and was about to plead guilty, when he suddenly felt that he couldn't move up and down, and when he was terrified, he found that he could move again, and the man in blue didn't say anything and threw him a thin booklet with the words "Yu Yu Wheel Gong".
He was stunned, then knelt down and kowtowed, but the man in blue didn't pay attention to it at all, as if nothing had happened.
That night, he began to practice this "Rotation Gong".
Father-in-law Mu asked a few more questions, and finally the man in black spoke.
"There are no disciples from this sect recently, and as for the other sects, this sect is not very clear, and we must wait until next year's Luntai Conference is over. ”
"No one!" the man in blue said two words simply, then got up to say goodbye, and disappeared into the moon gate in the backyard in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Hezi's body moved slightly and stopped, and Grandpa Mu was still sitting on the chair, staring blankly at the door, the decayed artemisia grass in the yard, the bare branches, full of autumn evil.
He still didn't dare to move, let alone go in, and stood respectfully at the foot of the steps, like a statue.
After a while, Gonggong Mu got up and came out, Xiao Hezi didn't dare to look at his face, followed him with low eyebrows, and didn't even dare to come out.
When he was about to reach the door, Gonggong Mu spoke: "If there is anything missing here, ask the inner government for it." Anything goes. ”
"Yes, Ancestor. Xiao Hezi replied with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
Xiao Hezi waited for Father-in-law Mu's sedan chair to turn over the courtyard wall and couldn't see it before turning around and walking into the lonely courtyard, and couldn't help but touch the booklet of the sleeve cage again.
On the other side, Father-in-law Mu and his entourage were very silent, and after walking for a long time, Father-in-law Mu whispered thoughtlessly: "This guy seems to be pretty good." ”
The little eunuch on the side was a little farther away, and he didn't hear clearly, so he turned his head to look at it and didn't ask.
