CHAPTER 102 - Chapter 102 Eternal!
In the carriage!
Everyone inside was silent!
Although they were all hearing it for the first time, they all felt that there seemed to be great power in these words. Could this be the Tao that the old Taoist priest was talking about?
"Since you want to live forever, I will follow you forever and accompany you forever!"
Zhang Wenliao touched his head and smiled innocently.
He didn't understand what it meant to not dare to be the first in the world, nor did he understand why the water didn't compete for the first place.
But he knew that it was the adults who saved him, gave him a future, and taught him to read and learn. , then he will repay you forever.
"Okay! I will walk with you all the way and take you to see the most dazzling scenery in the world. That kind of scenery, no matter how high your status is, you will never be able to find it in the past!"
Zhang Wenliao laughed when he heard Xia Chen's words.
"I also want to go with Brother Chen to see the most dazzling scenery in the world!"
Xia Wen on the side couldn't help but say this, and Xia Chen laughed out loud after hearing this.
"Okay, as long as you follow me, you will see it in the future!"
......
"Brother Chen, why is the capital suddenly under martial law?"
The carriage was moving hurriedly in the rainy night. Xia Wen glanced at the patrolling teams of imperial guards outside and couldn't help asking.
"It may be related to the revival of Nagarjuna!"
Xia Chen said casually that he had a hunch that all this might be caused by himself.
The passage I said at that time was the most core description of Tao in the Tao Te Ching.
It is the way of another world. When all players enter this world, all the classic articles and thoughts about the other world will be blocked and erased, and they will not be able to remember anything.
This restriction will only be lifted in the version that integrates all heavens.
Xia Chen had previously speculated that the reason for this restriction was because the ways of different heavens were different. Once revealed in this world in advance, it might cause some unknown changes.
I don’t know whether it’s good or bad!
"Your Majesty asked us to arrest suspicious people, and that old Taoist priest is a bit suspicious. We were already closing the shop, but he came in on purpose, and he was talking nonsense. Brother Chen, why don't we go back and arrest that Taoist priest first? We’ll talk about it later!"
Xia Wen said viciously, he had been a little suspicious before.
"No need, that old Taoist priest is fine!"
Xia Chen shook his head.
"Why did Brother Chen know this old Taoist priest before?"
Xia Wen asked what everyone wanted to ask. Xia Wen was Xia Chen's cousin, so sometimes he had no scruples, but Xu Xingchen and the others didn't dare to ask so casually.
Xia Chen glanced at Xia Wen, and then looked at the people whose eyes were filled with curiosity.
Then he spoke slowly.
"I don't know him, but if I'm not mistaken, that person should be... the old Taoist priest!"
Xia Chen's eyes were solemn. Why would such a legendary figure suddenly come to him?
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
But he should have no ill intentions. The reason why Xia Chen said so much was to calm down the old Taoist priest first. No matter if he came here with malicious intentions or other purposes, he wanted to whet his appetite first!
"The old Taoist priest from the Taoist Temple?"
Yu Shaoqian couldn't help but exclaim when he heard Xia Chen's words.
Xu Xingchen also looked solemn. Could the old Taoist priest just now be the old Heavenly Master who was known as a god on earth?
"I heard that the old master has mysterious powers? Although he is a mortal, he is already an immortal. How could he suddenly appear in our restaurant?"
Xu Xingchen couldn't help but ask, could it be that the old Taoist priest also discovered the extraordinaryness of Xia Chen?
"I don't know either, but he probably has no ill intentions. Talk to him today, but don't let anyone know!"
Xia Chen glanced at everyone and spoke slowly.
"Understood, sir!"
......
All night long, Xia Chen led the lantern men to patrol the capital. Under the extreme martial law, no one dared to commit crimes.
Even on Suyu Street, where brothels and pr*st**utes are everywhere, people were much quieter that night for fear of bringing disaster.
The city gate was opened on the morning of the next day. Xia Chen learned that His Majesty had sent an envoy to Tianlong Temple to meet with Abbot Nagarjuna and inquire about what happened last night.
Xia Chen had no idea what they talked about specifically, he only knew that an order was soon issued to lift the ban and reopen the city gates to traffic.
In the next few days, people in the capital gradually stopped worrying and the city returned to its former prosperity and stability.
Many people are speculating on what happened that night, but ordinary people have no idea...
Time slowly entered mid-June and the weather began to become hot.
The capital city became extremely lively.
The Autumn Examination was to be held in September.
All the successful candidates from the nineteen states of Dawu began to rush to the capital.
Students from remote areas even set out at the beginning of the year for fear of missing out on the Autumn Examination, which was held every three years.
And now it is June, and many students have already arrived in the capital.
Suddenly, the prices of restaurants and inns in the capital began to soar, and scholars reciting poems could be seen everywhere in the capital.
"Is the Heavenly Residence really that magical?"
"I haven't been to Beijing for two years. Has Beijing changed so much? Is there still such good wine?"
"Prince consort Xia Chen, the Immortal Poet? I, Zhang Erhe, refuse to accept this!"
......
After half a month of development, Tianshangju has become the number one restaurant in Beijing.
Due to the limited production of Jasper Wine, the daily sales quantity is limited. If you exceed the quantity, it will not be sold to anyone and you can only come back tomorrow.
Therefore, there are many dignitaries and nobles at the gate of heaven every day. If you throw a brick down, you might hit a marquis!
Nowadays, High Grade Jasper Wine has long been called Jasper Fairy Wine, and everyone who has tasted it is amazed.
There is even news that even Middle Grade Jasper Wine has now been sold for 6,000 taels of silver per jar.
As for High Grade Jasper Wine, no one who can afford it has ever sold it. They all keep it for their own enjoyment.
The students who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination were stunned by Tianshangju as soon as they entered the capital.
There were some students who thought themselves extraordinary and acted arrogantly in the local area. They heard that Tianshangju had seven floors. The higher the status, the higher the floor they could go to.
These students were immediately excited, thinking that this was a great design that could show off their status, and they immediately rushed to Tianshangju. As a result, most of the confident people could only reach the third floor, barely stepping into the VIP threshold.
This made them very angry and they felt that they had lost face, so they immediately started to make a fuss about going to a higher floor.
As a result, they were directly pulled out from the sky by the Lantern Man who was patrolling nearby, and they were beaten up in front of everyone on Yongle Street, and then they were locked up in the Lantern Man's Prison for causing trouble.
This made the scholars who had just entered the capital feel a chill in their hearts. As soon as they entered the capital, their excited hearts finally calmed down, and they realized that this was the capital, not their small place.
There are too many high-ranking officials and dignitaries here. Even if their fathers come, they may have to keep their tails between their legs!
From then on, no one who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth dared to cause trouble there.
