Chapter 17: The Site of the Royal Court
The caravan came to the former site of the royal court, which was the place of shame of the Golden Horde and the place of glory of the Great Wei, but this glory, with the passage of time, few people can still remember.
It is said to be an old site, not a ruin, in fact, there are still people living in it, but it is no longer the royal court center of the Golden Horde, and the Khan and the kings are no longer stationed here, only ordinary town guards and judges, and it has become an ordinary city.
After the caravan arrived here, it had already entered the core area of the Golden Horde in the traditional sense, not far from the royal court.
At the end of the caravan, there were two horsemen walking side by side, a man and a woman, the man was wearing a sword, and the woman was tall, a head taller than the ordinary Central Plains women. In the eyes of Yan Qing, the owner of the caravan, this pair of men and women is undoubtedly extremely suspicious, but along the way, both of them are in order, but it makes her have no excuse to attack, plus this Qin Gongzi is personally invited by Zhang Wenyu, if she drives people directly, it will slap Uncle Zhang's face.
Yue parted and replaced the rather eye-catching white fur, changed into ordinary clothes, and was silent, only when Li Xuandu asked about the recent situation of the royal court, he would answer. But there is also one thing to say, and I have never deliberately hidden anything.
The caravan had only entered the city for a short time, and the sky was completely overcast, and a heavy snowfall was approaching. As the wax moon drew closer, the snow on the grasslands became heavier, and in this case, the war between the Golden Horde and Liaodong would probably end soon. Because this place is the only way to and from the caravan, so the city also followed the example of the Central Plains to open inns and inns, but the conditions are simple and the price is expensive, but for the caravan, it is not a big risk to come here, and it is to carry valuable goods, and a little accommodation silver is nothing.
After the caravan was settled, Li Xuandu still followed his old rules to familiarize himself with the terrain of this place, so he asked Yue to leave and take him to the city. Yue Parting came to the former site of the royal court, and followed the old Khan to come here to worship the ancestral heroes. So she became Li Xuandu's guide, and occasionally the Golden Horde soldiers dared to interrogate, and they would take out a piece similar to a waist card when they parted in the month, and those Golden Horde soldiers saluted and let them go after seeing it, very respectfully. Li Xuandu originally thought that Yue Li's parting showed her identity, but later she learned that she only borrowed the identity of the slave of the Yue Ji Bei Khan family, which was enough to deter these ordinary soldiers. This reminds Li Xuandu of an old saying: "The Prime Minister's Concierge has seven officials", from this point of view, this is a universal truth.
Soon after, a heavy snow fell, and the streets were deserted of pedestrians.
Li Xuandu took out an oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Yue Li, asking her to hold the umbrella to block the snow, but he let the snowflakes fall all over his body.
Yue Li's parting saw Li Xuandu waving his hand to summon the wind and snow, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "With Gongzi's supernatural powers, why don't you just wave these wind and snow?"
Li Xuandu smiled lightly: "Manpower is sometimes poor, just follow the trend, if you act against the sky, snow flies in June, and ice melts in winter, but it is an immortal method." ”
Yue parted and asked, "Has Childe ever seen an immortal?"
Li Xuandu laughed and said, "The immortals on the ground have seen it." Heavenly immortals, heard. ”
Li Xuandu just said casually, but Yue's parting listened carefully, and after pondering for a while, he said: "When I was a child, I was very eager for these immortal legends, and when I grew up, I read many classics from your Central Plains, and I also thought about going to Kunlun in the West to find immortals. ”
Li Xuandu said: "The Central Plains are divided into three religions, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, I am a person in the Daomen, Kunlun is the holy land of our Daomen, where there is a palace and city left by the ancestors of the Taishang Dao, and only people can enter." ”
Yue's parting eyes lit up, in the Golden Horde, although the vast majority of people believe in immortality, there are also a small number of people who believe in the Buddha and the Taishang Dao Ancestor.
Needless to say, the Buddha is dominated by the Vajra sect and the true sect, which is very different from the Jing Zen sect in the Central Plains. As for the belief in the Taoist ancestors, but have to mention a period of old history, there are many branches of the Daomen, mainly Zhengyi and Quanzhen Dao, the reason why the sect master of the Zhengyi sect can be called the head of the sect is because the Zhengyi sect is the right one, and the whole truth of the Tao contains Donghua, Shenxiao, Miaozhen three sects, so the three sect masters can not claim to be in charge. However, in the history of Quanzhen Dao, there have been five recognized patriarchs, also known as the five ancestors of the North, namely Shaoyang Emperor, Zhengyangzi, Chunyangzi, Hai Toad, and Chongyangzi. Among them, Emperor Shaoyang is Emperor Donghua, that is, the founder of Donghua Sect, and Chunyangzi is not an outsider, it is the world's famous Lu Zu, also known as Chunyang Patriarch, Tao, sword, and poetry. Li Daoxu once recited Lu Zu's quatrain in front of all his disciples, including the sentence "I am the sun and moon in the cave, I am the sky", which led to Zhang Haishi's accusation of Li Taiyi.
Among the five ancestors, Chongyang Patriarch is the last patriarch, he has seven disciples, all of whom are named Zhenren, and successively served as the head of the Quanzhen Dao, Danyang Zhenren was taken over by Changsheng Zhenren, and Changsheng Zhenren was taken over by Changchun Zhenren, this Changchun Zhenren once went to Saiwai in his twilight years, out of the Iron Gate, arrived at the Palace of the Great Snow Mountain, met the King of the Golden Horde, and advised the King of the Golden Horde to "respect the heavens and love the people, reduce the slaughter, and have few desires", and was respected as a "god" by the King of the Golden Horde. As a result, there are also people in the Golden Tent who have converted to Taoist ancestors.
Although Yue Parting believes in immortality, he has also dabbled in many Taoist classics, and he has been fascinated by the cultivation of immortals in Daomen, and after seeing the scene of Li Xuandu summoning the wind and snow, he was even more moved by the idea of learning Taoism.
Although the moon parting is the face of the Golden Horde, in her opinion, if one day, without these identities and status, the end will be miserable. It's better to be at ease with these "immortals" with great magical powers.
Li Xuandu saw Yue's parting thoughts, waved his hand and said: "This cultivation thing, in addition to chance, is biased by God, whether it can be cultivated or not, and to what extent it can be cultivated, it is like reincarnation, it is destined from birth." Some people are born with that face, some people are born slaves, some people are born with both parents, and some people are fatherless and motherless, so there is no reason to talk about it. ”
Yue parted and heard that the sentence "someone was born with that face" was talking about her, but she didn't know that the latter sentence was Li Xuan talking about himself, but she understood that Li Xuan was saying that she didn't have such talent, and she couldn't help but feel lost in her heart.
Li Xuan didn't say anything to comfort him, and he sighed in his heart. Of course, he is a person with excellent qualifications, but if you really want to talk about this, he is far inferior to Taiyun, Li Taiyi and others, at most it is at the level of Song Zheng and Qin Qing, but his luck is better, with the support of many seniors, plus his own competition, there is today's situation. If he follows the original trajectory, he is only afraid that he will have to survive until the age of not being confused to have a glimpse of the mysteries of creation, instead of sitting in the immeasurable hope of creation in less than the year of establishment like now, but then again, there are many amazing and brilliant people, but there are not many people who can go to the end.
The two of them thought about their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke.
Unconsciously, the two of them had come to the city, although there were also Golden Horde soldiers guarding here, but after Yue parted and showed the small waist card, no one dared to stop it.
At this moment, a group of people came from the wind and snow, winding like a long dragon, and they couldn't see the tail at a glance, and they waved various colored flags, which were quite eye-catching in the snow.
Li Xuanji looked at the wood, and saw that the leader was more than 300 cavalrymen, all wearing armor, holding flags, and a carriage was clustered in the middle, which was extremely luxurious, the roof canopy hung down with tassels, the four corners of the hanging bells jingled, and the walls of the carriage were decorated with gold leaf patterns, and were pulled by eight white horses without the slightest variegation.
As long as he is not blind, he can see that this must be an extremely noble person in the Golden Tent, so Li Xuandu asked Yue's parting, "This is?"
Although Yue Parting did not have the same eyesight as Li Xuandu, he could vaguely take a look at it, and hesitated: "This seems to be a team to send relatives." ”
Li Xuandu asked, "Which one?"
Yue Libei did not answer immediately, but waited until the leading cavalry got close again, so that she could see the pattern on the flag clearly, and then said, "It's Zixue Bei Khan's family." ”
Then she added: "When I left the royal court, I heard that Zixue Behan was going to marry his sister to Yaomu Khan, and I thought it was a rumor at first, but now it seems that it is true. ”
