Copper Coins Chapter 72: Passers by (3)

The Taichang Temple has long since stipulated that only kneeling in the sky and the earth, so even if you see the national teacher, the big salute is not kneeling, but bowing.

But the hundreds of people wearing white clothes with wide robes and large sleeves, wearing hideous and simple animal pattern masks, silently and uniformly bowed to the end, the scene was still magnificent, but in this spectacular With a sense of solemnity and awe, if each person adds a few sticks of incense, then they are coming to sacrifice to heaven.

To ordinary people, this scene is very grand, but to Xue Xian, it is nothing.

He pays little attention to the affairs of the mortal court, and he is too lazy to understand the official names and institutions that change from time to time with the change of dynasties. After all, it has nothing to do with him, so I saw "too often" at first glance I don't really feel the two words, but from the clothes of these hundreds of people, it can be inferred that one or two - I am afraid that they are the people who are dedicated to the priest and inquire about the divination.

He's been alive for so long, he's never seen this kind of posture, and almost subconsciously blurted out: "Have you all come here for the rain?"

But before he could speak, Xuan Min frowned and took a step forward, which happened to half-cover Xue Xian from behind. Just listening to him holding Zhang Shuanghan's frozen face, his eyes swept over the person coldly, and asked, "What are you doing?"

What are you doing?

What are you doing? ?

At the front of the team, Taibu and Taizhu, who were about to open their mouths to call the national teacher, were immediately dumbfounded.

However, they grew up in the court, so they wouldn't lose their respect in front of people. The two of them maintained a bowed posture and glanced at each other with their eyes full of surprise.

Identified the wrong person? impossible!

The figure, temperament and walking posture are like a national teacher, and you can recognize it at a glance without even waiting for the other party to approach!

But what's the matter with the phrase "what's your job"?

Deliberately? Is it possible that there is something important to do, and it is inconvenient to reveal your identity?

Taibu Taizhu and Taizhu entered Taichang Temple in the same year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. After a brief exchange of glances, the two reached an unanimous guess.

It's just that as soon as this speculation emerged, there was a sudden "hiss" sound at hand.

The two were stunned when they saw a "hissing" sound. It was a flame that appeared beside Taibu's finger at an unknown time. The flame faded away in the blink of an eye, revealing a note wrapped in the core of the flame

This situation is not unfamiliar to them. If the national teacher wants to send some news, he often uses this method.

It is reasonable to say that the forest pigeon sent by Taibu has just left. The only possibility is that the national teacher happened to have other orders, but the time it was sent was too coincidental...

Taibu grabbed the folded note with his backhand, glanced calmly at the white figure on the opposite side, and was about to unfold it when there was another sound of birds flapping behind him.

"There is a letter." Tai Zhu turned around and took a look, raised his hand and took off the letter box from the feet of Lin Ge, who had thrown himself in front of him.

The two looked at each other and hurriedly looked down at the letter.

"The letter was written by Shaoqing, saying that it was reported by Huazhi County. It was rumored that someone in the county could see the real dragon. , let's be careful here." Taizhu's voice was extremely low, but he was still a little surprised when he said "True Dragon", so the pitch was slightly higher. He hurriedly closed his voice again, and finished the last sentence in a very restrained voice: "Also, Shaoqing said, the national teacher has left the customs, and there are other important things. He will come to join us in three days."

And the note from the national teacher was as concise as ever.

Taibu directly sent the unfolded tissue paper to Taizhu's eyelids, and saw four words written on it: act cheaply. The signature is still the same lamp.

The two letters, one after the other, are not too long, but the information they contain is rather puzzling - someone in Huazhi County has seen the real dragon, why did Taichang Temple and the Tianji Academy rush over? It has never been like this before, this posture is a bit too unusual, and it makes people feel worried.

However, what Taizhu and Taibu care about the most is not this, but the fact that the national teacher has really left the customs, and there are other important things...

The two couldn't help but connect with the current scene, but felt that their previous guess should be correct-the reason why the national teachers met but did not recognize each other should be because of other arrangements and hidden feelings.

In this case, they should cooperate fully and smash the scene of the national teacher. Isn't that boring?

"Acting cheaply..." Taizhu muttered, but you have to act cheaply! The two quickly restrained their expressions, raised their heads, nodded at Xuan Min and Xue Xian who were standing opposite, and said, "A misunderstanding, we are afraid that we have mistaken people."

"Identified the wrong person?" Xue Xian smiled calmly, and brushed off the dust that didn't exist on the side of his robe, "Can you say this... can it be taken seriously?"

Although the distance between the two parties is considered far away, Xue Xian still heard them mention the word "true dragon". There is a sentence "admitted wrong", which is worth pondering.

What kind of people need to hide themselves?

A person with ulterior motives.

Xue Xian has always been too lazy to think about the twists and turns in the belly of mortals, but he has suffered a loss after all. As soon as he saw such a secretive person, he couldn't help thinking of his cramped muscles, and the smile on his face suddenly became colder.

"Blame us for being reckless. This mountain road is crooked. We didn't take a close look when the two of you turned around. We misidentified people based on their clothes and body shape, making a joke." Tai Zhu said, he didn't dare to look at Xuan more With a pitiful look, he only cupped his hands at Xue Xian, "Looking at Haihan. Since the two of you are in a hurry, it is inconvenient for us to delay, please—"

Speaking, he gestured to the long line behind him.

The ten-person team moved away from both sides as if breaking through the waves, neatly making way for Xue Xian and Xuan Min.

Xue Xian gave a short snort, but he didn't speak again, he simply raised his feet and walked away.

He and Xuan Min really walked into the separate path. Both of them were ancestors who were not afraid of things, so that they didn't feel uncomfortable walking on this path. They looked cold and walked calmly.

Before Xuanmin got close, Taibu and Taizhu lowered their eyes at the same time, just like seeing the national teacher in Taichang Temple, they didn't dare to look at it. What's more, they seem to be causing trouble right now, so that the scene was a little embarrassing, almost contrary to the meaning of the national teacher, and naturally they dare not raise their eyes.

Just the moment Xuan Min walked past, Tai Zhu's downcast eyes moved slightly, he glanced at Xuan Min's downcast right hand, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Except for some inadvertent gaffes when they faced Xuan Min, the performance of the two after that was fairly decent, and they were polite but not overly respectful. It seems that he is afraid that this seemingly innocuous person will find any flaws.

But it's these eyes that are the worst. It may not be easy to spot them when looking at others. With Xue Xian's extremely sensitive senses, it's too easy to notice the swipe of their eyes. He only felt that these people were almost walking the streets with the words "ulterior motives" written on their faces.

For a moment, he vaguely realized that there were other oddities, but before the idea emerged, it was disturbed by the black bird on Xuan Min's shoulder.

That black bird is really not afraid of life. Seeing these people "wearing filial piety", he didn't panic. Instead, when Xue Xian squeezed it, he spread his wings and slapped Xue Xian on the shoulder.

Little beast!

Xue Xian just squinted at it, and saw Xuan Min took another picture of it with a light expression.

This time it was supposed to be used for immobilization. After the black bird was photographed, it immediately became a coffin board on Xuan Min's shoulder, unable to move, and the two black beans looked at Xuan Min aggrievedly. Pity one glance.

Xue Xian felt at ease in body and mind, and he didn't bother to think about how those people "had ulterior motives".

Taibu and Taizhu watched as they walked out of the lane, passed the last horse, and walked to the fork between the mountains ahead.

"Phew..." Taizhu breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time had a plan in mind - in order not to hinder the national teacher, they had to pretend to run the opposite direction of the two, continue on the road, and then find a bypass from the front. In the past, they kept a close distance behind the National Teacher, so that they could appear in time when the National Teacher needed it.

It's just that he hadn't let out his breath, when he saw the thin and tall man in black beside the national teacher who turned around and smiled at them.

That smile is very good-looking, but also very evil, with a cool taste, and it rips from the corner of the hooked half of the mouth. Both Taibu and Taizhu are shocked.

Immediately afterwards, the situation above the head of the entire Taichang Temple team suddenly changed. The originally vague sky light was instantly obscured by the rolling black clouds, and then hundreds of pale electric lights slashed straight down from the black clouds without warning. , smashed to the ground with an earth-shattering sound.

Each line is almost close to the toes, and it circles around the entire crowd, forming a cage made of cloud and thunder.

I wish them so many years of life, and for the first time they tasted the taste of "people turning their backs on horses", and the whole team became a mess of porridge. The angle of each thunder is very tricky, it will never hit them, but it always makes them feel that they can't hide.

The clouds and thunders smashed endlessly, and it seemed that there was always an end to it, and their ability was limited, and it was impossible to get out of this cage in a short time.

Therefore, when Taizhu barely glanced around in the embarrassment, he found that the person he planned to follow had long since disappeared, and because of the blinding lightning, he didn't even see which way the two were heading. of.

Just when he was full of anxiety, Taibu grabbed him and said solemnly: "It's okay, I can catch up."
