Riding the Pheonix Chapter 229: Holy Judgment

The terrain of Xuandu Temple is very high, and the Taoist platform is at the highest point. Even the people on the periphery can see clearly. ()

Mingwei saw the yellow luogai umbrella set up in front of the temple from a distance, and knew that the holy driver was there.

Next to the holy chariot, a row of colorful sheds were built. The attendant led the Ji family into a place near the end.

There are already people on the left and right. Since the Ji family is here, they must say hello.

This greeting shocked Mrs. Ji.

On the left is the uncle's house, and on the right is a clan member of the royal family.

Although this uncle's family has little power at the moment, and the clan members are far away from the direct branch, it is more than a little stronger than his own family.

Mrs. Ji whispered to her husband: "Is this really the position given to us? Could it be a mistake?"

Master Ji said: "I have asked several times and said it is for our family."

Ji Ling was vaguely aware of it. He saw Ming Wei and Ji Xiaowu muttering just now, and guessed that it was probably related to them. He said: "Mom, since it's for us, just sit there with peace of mind. Wouldn't you be a fool if you don't sit down when you have a good seat?"

Doctor Ji said: "I'm just worried about not being able to sit in a good seat."

"Don't worry, we didn't ask for it." As he said that, Ji Ling glanced back.

Mingwei was stared at meaningfully by him and thought to himself, the eldest cousin is indeed the eldest cousin and has a sharp mind.

Not long after, the ceremony began.

Where Huang Luo Gai Umbrella was, someone came out.

Then, many officials paid their respects and shouted long live.

Only then did Ming Wei see the appearance of Emperor Wen.

From far away, I couldn't see his facial features clearly. I just felt that he was a middle-aged man with a kind face. However, the luck around him was like a torrent, and as soon as he appeared, it took away all the color.

This is the destined emperor.

Mingwei was filled with emotions. In her own time, she once followed her master to secretly meet the last emperor who was in power at that time.

I still remember that the night after I came back, Master lingered all night and never fell asleep.

She asked Master what happened, and Master said that the building was about to collapse.

She was in her early teens at the time, and it was only a few years before the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed.

The royal luck in the last emperor was already very weak.

They struggled for more than ten years and finally came to an end.

The music sounded, and Taoist priests from Xuandu Temple wearing robes came out one by one and went on the stage to pray.

Mingwei was absent-minded, and the maid who poured her wine touched her sleeve lightly.

She turned her head.

The maid pointed slightly and pointed behind her.

Mingwei spoke to Mrs. Ji and took Duofu to the back.

As soon as she left, Ji Xiaowu couldn't sit still and said, "I'll go too!"

Mrs. Ji was confused: "You even have to go to the toilet together? Is Xiaowu stupid?"

Dong smiled and said: "They have a good relationship, isn't that good?"

Mrs. Ji was pleased: "That's right. Before, I was worried that Xiao Wu would scare people away, but I didn't expect that when Xiao Qiyi came, he would talk a lot."

"Yes, not only did I get an official position, but I can also do serious things. As expected, my brother-in-law still lacks someone to take care of him. It's a pity that my cousin has to observe filial piety, otherwise my mother would have felt more at ease if she had arranged their marriage early."

Ji Ling listened and felt puzzled. He was not surprised that Xiao Wu was dealt with. What was strange was that his cousin had not said that he would break off the engagement until now. Could it be that he really fell in love with Xiao Wu?

Thinking carefully about their daily interactions, I felt something was wrong. Like my cousin, it’s not like she has a crush on Xiaowu, and it’s more like teasing him...

"Thank you, remember the way." Mingwei said softly over there.

They followed the maid and walked for a long time before leaving the palace gathering place and turning into a path.

"Miss, this place is so remote." Duofu whispered.

This can be regarded as the back mountain of Xuandu Temple. Mingwei didn't say anything and followed the maid as he walked quickly until he saw a few huts in the distance.

When she arrived in front of the hut, the maid turned around and saluted her, then returned the way she came.

Mingwei pushed open the fence and entered the small courtyard.

The door of the hut opened with a creak.

The person who came out was not Yang Shu, but Ning Xiu.

"Sir." Mingwei saluted.

Ning Xiu nodded expressionlessly and said, "He couldn't get away, so he asked me to wait here."

Mingwei turned his head and glanced around.

Ning Xiu said: "The master has a connection with Xuandu Temple. This is his residence in Xuandu Temple. It is very safe." After a pause, he said, "Except for the tail behind you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed, a strong wind passed by, and with a sound of "Ouch", Ji Xiaowu fell out of the grass.

"Fifth Young Master!" Duofu rushed over and helped him up.

Ji Xiaowu rubbed his buttocks and complained: "It hurts me so much when I hit the stone."

Ning Xiu looked at him coldly.

Ming Wei said: "Sir, this is my cousin."

"Reliable?" Ning Xiu asked.

Ming smiled and said: "If he couldn't be trusted, I would have caught him out long ago."

Ji Xiaowu asked curiously: "You know I'm behind you?"

Mingwei only gave him a look to understand, but didn't answer.

Ning Xiu did not get entangled and continued: "Junior brother has already told me that you need to get two things from Xuandu Temple. We don't have a clue about the other one yet, that epiphyllum flower, we have a chance to get it today."

"Oh? Where will it appear?"

……

Mingwei and Ji Xiaowu came back together, and Mrs. Dong smiled at them: "It took you long enough to go to the toilet."

Ji Xiaowu said oh and sat back.

His reaction made Mr. Dong surprised: "Uncle, what's wrong? You're listless today. Are you sick?"

Ji Xiaowu continued to remain expressionless.

Ming Wei said: "Maybe when I was going to the toilet just now, I accidentally hit a stone and fell silly."

"..."

After the prayers were over, the heads and elders of Xuandu Temple filed down, walked to the Holy Driver, and knelt down in unison: "Holy Lord, I have an undecided decision in Xuandu Temple today. I beg your Majesty to make a decision."

The emperor smiled and said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."

The leader of the elders reported: "Master Xuxing Temple has been wandering in the immortal world for more than a year, and the position of Master Xuandu Temple has been vacant till now. Now there are two disciples, both of whom are beloved disciples of the previous generation temple master. I don't know which one to choose. If someone succeeds, ask for the Holy Judgment."

Having said that~IndoMTL.com~two Xuandu Guan Xuanshi stepped forward quickly and kowtowed: "Yuyang (Xuanfei) meets your Majesty."

The emperor asked: "The position of the temple master has its own rules. Why are you in trouble?"

The elder replied: "Your Majesty, the master of Xuxing Temple once ordered his disciple Xuan Fei to travel around. According to the usual practice, the next master of the temple needs to travel to widen his knowledge. Therefore, Pindao and others thought that the master of Xuxing Temple wanted to choose Xuanfei was the next master of the temple. However, two years after Xuanfei left, before the master of Xuxing passed away, he called his first disciple Yuyang to the bed and ordered him to take care of his brothers. Therefore, poor Taoists and others did not know Xuxing Has the viewer changed his mind? And the two nephews are both very outstanding, so it’s hard to make a choice, so we can only ask for the Holy Judgment."

The emperor nodded: "It is indeed an embarrassing thing. Didn't Xu Xing leave any last words?"

"Yes, not in time."

The emperor said: "There are state-owned laws and sects have rules. According to the rules of your Xuandu Temple, what conditions should be used to select a temple master?"

The elder replied: "Of course he is someone with profound magic power and proficient in the meaning of the scriptures."

The emperor nodded: "Then you can choose the viewer based on this. I will be a witness."
