Early in the morning, Chan 'er was doing morning classes in the Post House, praying to Buddha and chanting sutras. Suddenly, she heard a noise coming from the front yard. Looking in the direction of the noise, she saw a young man from Wuji Kingdom in a silk robe trotting in from outside the Post House.
Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian heard the noise and walked out of the house one after another.
The young man from Wuji Kingdom had slightly curly hair. He had a high nose bridge and deep eyes. His pupils were faintly blue. When he saw Shen Luo and the others, his eyes suddenly lit up.
But before the young man could run to them, Duke had caught up and stopped him.
"Young Master, this is the Post House. Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter. You'd better leave quickly. If there are officials at home, ask them to bring you back." Duke saw that the young man's clothes were not for ordinary people, so he did not dare to say anything harsh.
The young man did not have time to say anything to him. He waved his hand at Shen Luo and the others and shouted, "Are you a guest from the Tang Empire?"
Shen Luo heard this and felt it was funny. He also felt a little strange. Why did this young man speak like he was the host?
So he said a few words to Duke and asked him to let the young man into the Post House.
"Are you here for us?" Bai Xiaotian asked with a smile.
"Yes, honorable guests." When the young man spoke, he did not forget to put his right hand on his left chest and saluted them.
Chan 'er saluted back with her palm. Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian looked at each other and also saluted with a smile.
"Tell us, who are you? What do you want from us? "Shen Luo asked.
"I'm very interested in your Tang Empire. I heard that you are eminent monks from the Tang Empire, so I took the liberty to come here. I want to hear about the scenery of the Tang Empire and the grand occasions of Chang 'an and Luoyang." The young man's eyes flashed with excitement and he said eagerly.
When Shen Luo and the other two heard this, they were stunned for a moment before they smiled.
"So it turns out that you admire the Great Tang. What do you know about the Great Tang?" Shen Luo continued.
"I've read it in a book brought by a silk merchant. The city walls of Chang 'an are hundreds of feet high, and there's a Big Wild Goose Tower in the city. Every year, the Lantern Festival is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the city will release more lanterns than the stars in the sky …" The young man reported everything he had read in the book in one breath.
Shen Luo listened to the mixture of truth and falsehood. There was a lot of exaggerated content, but the smile on his face did not diminish. He patiently explained it to the young man.
Bai Xiaotian also chimed in from the side. The two of them only found it interesting and did not show the slightest bit of impatience.
When she talked about the situation of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Buddhist temple in the city, Chan 'er would talk about it. The young man from the Wuji Kingdom listened with bright eyes and kept nodding.
The few of them chatted with each other for an hour.
At this time, there was another noise outside. Two men from the Wuji Kingdom in fur robes rushed in from outside. They showed the token in their hands to Duke and shouted loudly, "Prince, why did you run out of here?
"Your Highness, why did you run out on your own? If the King finds out about this, he'll definitely skin us alive."
"He is … the Prince?" Bai Xiaotian and the other two looked at the young man in surprise.
"Alas, I snuck out without telling my father and attendants. It seems that I can't continue chatting with you." A flash of displeasure flashed across the young man's face. He hung his head and said dejectedly.
"It doesn't matter. We will stay in the city for a few more days. You can inform His Majesty and come back another day." Chan 'er saw this and said.
"Really? Aren't you afraid that I'll disturb your meditation? "The young man's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.
"Meditation at dawn, meditation at dawn, meditation at dusk, meditation at walking, meditation at sitting, and talking with you is also meditation." Chan 'er straightened her palm and said.
"That works? You eminent monks are not the same as the monks in our kingdom. "The young man heard this and the smile on his face grew wider as he said this.
After that, he said goodbye and left with the servant who came to look for them.
However, when they reached the entrance of the post house, the young man suddenly ran back and said to them, "I haven't reported my name to the eminent monks. My name is Qi Lian Mi, the Third Prince of the Wuji Kingdom. You are welcome to visit the palace at any time."
"You're Qi Lian Mi?" Shen Luo heard this name and suddenly said in surprise.
His shout was so sudden that Bai Xiaotian and Chan 'er, who were beside him, looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong?" The Third Prince nodded and asked in surprise.
Shen Luo naturally thought of the "Qi Lian Mi" he saw in the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit when he entered the dream. Now that he thought about it, his adult appearance had changed a lot. However, if he looked carefully, there was still some vague resemblance.
When he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed slightly. Bai Xiaotian beside him also found that something was wrong.
A gust of wind whistled and with a "whoosh" sound, a gust of wind rushed in from outside the gate of the post house. It blew in rolling yellow sand and directly blew Du Ke and the two servants over.
As for Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian, one stood in front of Qi Lian Mi, while the other protected Chan 'er behind them.
After the wind and sand rolled over, the courtyard became yellow and the air was suffocating with the smell of sand.
"What happened?" Chan 'er asked.
Bai Xiaotian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
On the other hand, Shen Luo brought Qi Lian Mi to Chan 'er's side. He raised his hand and waved, summoning the pure Yang sword embryo. He leaped onto it and charged into the sky, hovering above the posthouse.
"As expected of an eminent monk of the Tang Empire. So powerful …" Qi Lian Mi's face was full of yearning.
Shen Luo looked down from above and scanned the Crimson Valley City below. He saw that the rolling dust and sand had already covered the entire city. Almost all the streets and buildings in his line of sight were covered by the wind and sand.
"Whoosh …"
The whistling sound in the distance was still loud. Everywhere, gusts of wind and sand were blown up without any pattern, blowing the streets into chaos. People and horses were thrown off their feet, and cries for help came from everywhere.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment. He lowered his head and shouted to Bai Xiaotian and the other two, "I'm going to save people. You guys stay here and don't leave for now."
After saying that, he flew out and rushed to a square three streets away. There, a stone statue of Buddha was blown over by the wind and sand. It pressed down on a commoner who was praying at the side.
After he landed, he raised his hand to support the Buddha's head and lifted it up with all his strength.
The person underneath quickly crawled out and nodded at Shen Luo while placing his hands on his chest and bowing to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo took to the air once again and flew towards a courtyard in the east of the city. There, a jujube tree in the neighboring house was blown down by the wind and sand. It crashed into the courtyard wall and buried two children who were playing by the wall.
After he arrived, he quickly moved away the fallen wall and bricks and rescued the two children.
