The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

"Yes! Your Majesty."

Bai Gui resigned and left, getting off the imperial chariot.

The imperial guard is very tightly guarded and is guarded by forbidden troops everywhere.

"Bai Sheren, please come with the Za family."

The eunuch with a white beard walking towards him was none other than Gao Lishi. He was now a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and concurrently served as the right-hand and guard general. He was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was a very powerful position.

He was now leading the way for Bai Gui.

Beside the imperial chariot, there are exits in all directions to prepare for assassins. If there is no one to lead the way, everyone will be stunned by the layers of defense.

"General Gao."

Bai Gui rolled up his sleeves and said hello with a smile.

The two rode away side by side.

"A few days ago, the Zajia family got a few squares of beautiful jade and wanted to carve it into seals, but they thought that Bai She people like beautiful jade and jewelry. If Bai She doesn't refuse, these beautiful jade will be given to Bai She people. I just ask Bai She. A person can engrave several private seals on the Zajia family..."

"I'm afraid Bai She people don't know that your calligraphy has been sold in Chang'an for hundreds of dollars per calligraphy. It's a pity that there is no market for it."

Before leaving the circle of imperial chariots and forbidden troops, Gao Lishi pretended not to care and said.

Although he is now favored by Li Longji, he has made contributions to Tang Long's positive changes and Xiantian's positive changes. But he knew very well that no matter how meritorious he was and how favored he was by the emperor, the existence of a eunuch and a slave of the emperor would not be safe if the emperor dismissed him at the first thought.

It is better to make more connections, not to mention saving your wealth, but when you are down, someone can say a word to save your life.

Now Li Longji ascends the throne.

The two princesses who are compatriots with Li Longji are undoubtedly rising upstarts.

The princess's wealth and status are much more stable than that of Gao Lishi. She is just like the eldest princess of Guantao in the Han Dynasty, or the newly executed Princess Taiping. As long as the emperor's brothers are in power and do not touch the fundamental lifeline, they basically cannot lose it in their lifetime. potential.

Gao Lishi did not dare to make too many friends with important officials in the court for fear of arousing the emperor's jealousy, but if he made friends with the princess, even if the emperor knew about it, he would think that he was loyal, because the emperor's slaves also had to serve the royal princess.

Nowadays, everyone knows the relationship between Bai Gui and the two princesses. If he wants to make friends, it is easier to start with Bai Gui. Similarly, he also wanted to get in touch with Bai Gui. After all, Bai Guijian was in the emperor's heart.

"Since General Gao has this intention, I will accept it. The seal... will be sent to General Gao's residence after I carve it."

Bai Gui understood instantly and agreed.

Gao Lishi has been favored by Li Longji all his life, and he knows how to measure things. He makes friends with Gao Lishi and expands his network. Originally, when he was working in the palace, he was kinder to Gao Lishi and had a better relationship with Gao Lishi, but they were only acquaintances, not to the point of exchanging handles.

Anyone who knows calligraphy can understand that once you carve a private seal and give it to someone, it is equivalent to falling into trouble.

But if there is no handle, who will take the risk and spare no effort to speak for you.

"If you want someone to take something, you must first give it to someone else." - "Tao Te Ching".

Everyone who stands at the pinnacle of power will definitely have countless handles, and these handles are the feathers that gather party members.

"Bai She is very generous. Since he is carving a private seal, he has to pay for polishing it..."

Gao Lishi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say more when he was interrupted by Bai Gui.

"There is no need for retouching fees."

Bai Gui refused.

"It's the Zajia who made a mistake."

Gao Lishi understood the meaning and smiled.

Bai Gui's meaning is very obvious. It's okay for us to keep in touch with each other, and it's okay to have any exchanges of favors, but he won't deliberately collect some money. Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way. He does not want to be a lonely minister, and there is no need to make connections to be a lonely minister, but anyone who wants to advance further in the court will make friends with the eunuchs in the palace. This is a tacit understanding.

Whether to accept beautiful jade or not to charge polishing fees is a matter of degree.

…

Return to Fengchaan.

The phoenix chariots of Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen are not far from the imperial chariot.

After Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty came to power, the first in the royal family were his two sisters.

The two princesses were laughing and chatting.

Seeing this, Bai Gui didn't bother him, but went to rest on the jade couch of Princess Jinxian's phoenix chariot.

Draw down the curtain.

"I didn't expect that even Gao Lishi knew that I was secretly collecting jade and jewelry, and used this as an opportunity to befriend me..."

"That's right, you can't hide this kind of thing for a long time."

"Anyway, there are so many officials who are greedy for money and lust, and I am not the least of them. It's normal to have a little hobby."

He thought secretly.

After thinking for a while, he took out a fist-sized beautiful jade bead from his sleeve. There seemed to be thunder in it. It was the Thunder Lingzhu, one of the five legendary Lingzhu in the world of fairy swords.

This thunder spirit bead was a treasure he obtained accidentally when he was teaching Liu Jinyuan in the backyard of Liu Mansion a year ago.

Because he had practiced Lou Guan Tao's technique of controlling the six qi, he was extremely sensitive to spiritual intelligence.

The Lei Lingzhu was buried in the backyard of Liu's house. It was full of inspiration. When he got closer, he could sense it and dug it out.

Most people can't go to the Liu Mansion's backyard. This is the prime minister's residence. In addition, Mrs. Liu did not believe in Buddhism, so no Taoist monks went to the backyard of the Liu Mansion and were lucky enough to be met by him.

After getting the Thunder Lingzhu, he announced the news in Chang'anfang City and collected beautiful jade at a high price.

The news spread like wildfire and reached Gao Lishi's ears.

"Southern Rogue..."

"There are two ways to enter Sichuan. One is the land route, which takes the Jianmen Pass to enter Sichuan, and the other is the Yangtze River water route."

"I will go to Luoyi first and go south along the Grand Canal to Yuhang to see if I can find this person."

He shook his head and put the Thunder Spirit Pearl back into his sleeve.

Because the Thunder Lingzhu contains the power of thunder, it is difficult for ordinary people to access it.

But he is not among them.

Lishan teaches martial arts on a large scale.

Envoys were sent from all over to watch.

At the same time, it frightened the remnants of the Taiping Party who had dissident intentions.

The most important thing is that through this Lishan martial arts lecture, Li Longji fully grasped the power of the 200,000 soldiers and horses recruited, and used Guanzhong to dominate the Quartet to suppress the entire Tang Dynasty, making the imperial power truly and completely stabilized.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Longji issued an order to appoint Bai Gui from Shushe to be the inspector of Jiannan Road and lead the governor of Yizhou. He went to Jincheng to take up his post that day.

But before leaving, a servant boy knocked on the door of Jinxian Temple.

Let Bai Gui go to Yuzhen Temple.

"Master Ye asked me to come to Brother Bai, there must be something important..."

"Brother Bai Dao is in a hurry to say goodbye, and Yu Zhen doesn't have anything good to give to you. You can meet Master Ye later to ask for one or two."

Princess Yuzhen accompanied Bai Gui and said.

"You're welcome, princess."

"Master Ye is a well-known high Taoist in the Tang Dynasty. It is expected that a poor Taoist will have a fate..."

Bai Gui made a bow and said with a smile.

Passing through the corridor and several moon doors, you arrive at a wing.

enter.

Sitting on the bed was an old Taoist with white hair and a childish face.

He looked like an immortal.

When he saw Bai Gui and Princess Yuzhen coming, he bowed down to see them.

"I suddenly had a dream last night. I saw a giant mirage in the Qiantang River causing trouble. I drowned in the boat and made the journey miserable."

"So I'm going to take a close-up of this talisman. When my Taoist friends pass by Qiantang on their way to take office, please throw this talisman into Qiantang to relieve the suffering of the people."

The old man explained the reason.

"Master Ye shows compassion to the world, which is admirable."

"Since Pindao is passing through Yuhang, it is a small matter and he will definitely take care of it."

Bai Gui accepted the wooden box handed over by the old Taoist and returned the greeting.

He would not think that this old Taoist was talking nonsense, just because this Taoist's name was Ye Fashan.

Ye Fashan has been practicing Taoism for four generations. His mother Liu, because she was sleeping during the day, dreamed of seeing a meteor entering the entrance, swallowing it, and she was pregnant. She was born in the fifteenth month. When he was seven years old, he drowned in the river and did not return for three years. He said: "The young boy left me to drink cloud syrup, so I rarely have my ears."

It is also said that the young boy brought him to see the Supreme Being, and the Supreme Being stayed with his chin.

Legend has it that Ye Fashan was Tai Chi Ziwei Zuo Xianqing in his previous life.

A few months ago, Prime Minister Yao Chong's daughter died. Ye Fashan cast a talisman, and Yao Chong's daughter came back to life.

This is the famous high road of the Tang Dynasty!

Seeing Ye Fashan nodding, Bai Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed again: "Master Ye, I may have some obstacles on my way to taking office. Is there anything Master Ye can teach me?"

"Master Ye."

"Brother Bai Dao is an eminent disciple of Zongsheng Guanhou Temple, and is also a disciple of Taiqing. I also asked Master Ye to give me the talisman."

Princess Yuzhen begged.

Ye Fashan is her mentor.

"When I went to Songshan Mountain, a god taught me a sword. This sword is of no use to me anymore. I will give this sword to my fellow Taoist..."

"I hope all Taoist friends will cherish this fate."

Master Ye took out a sword from his back, threw it to Bai Gui, and said.

"(Ye Fashan) also studied under Zhao Yuanyang in Qingcheng Mountain and received Dunjia... He entered Mengshan Mountain in the east and was taught books by gods and men. He went to Songshan Mountain and was taught swords by gods. He often waded through large rivers and suddenly sank into waves. He was said to have drowned. He came back after seven days, wearing clothes and shoes. Not wet, he said: 'I traveled to Penglai with He Bo.'" - "Taiping Guangji·Twenty-six Immortals".

Bai Gui took the long sword and looked at it. There were two seal characters engraved on the hilt, Penglai.

"Penglai Sword?"

"The name of this sword is interesting."

He hung the sword on his waist and said.
