The next journey was very smooth and there was no delay in anything else. Yang Heng and the others arrived in the capital soon.

The yamen runner who followed Yang Heng, Li Er, had been to the capital many times before, so he introduced the pattern of the capital to Yang Heng.

The capital city is 36 miles in circumference, with a wall of 3 zhang high and 1.5 zhang wide. There are 8 gates in the city: the east is Andong Gate, Yingchun Gate, the south is Danfeng Gate, Kaiyang Gate, the west is Qing Jin Gate, the west is Tongtian Gate, and the north is Tongchen Gate and Gongchen Gate.

There are two avenues that run through the city: one is east-west, connecting the Qing Jin Gate and the Andong Gate; the other is north-south, connecting the Gongchen Gate and the Kaiyang Gate.

In addition to the main road, there are two roads that are east-west and north-south.

The east-west road goes from Yingchun Gate of the Great City to Xuanhe Gate of the Imperial City; the other north-south road goes from Tongtian Gate of the Great City to the north gate of the Imperial City.

Cities of this size are already very rare in this world.

You should know that the productivity of the other world is similar to that of ancient China. In this society that relies entirely on human power, if you want to build a city of such a large scale, the manpower and material resources consumed have reached the limit that society can bear.

This city was the result of the painstaking management of several generations of emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If internal judgments are not made, with this majestic city, even if millions of soldiers are besieged, I am afraid there will be no way to deal with him for a while.

Yang Heng looked at the appearance of this majestic city outside the capital, and followed the yamen runner into the city.

When Yang Heng came to this other world, he had been to several prosperous big cities. However, after entering the capital, he knew what the richest man in the world is and what the land of all virtues is.

I saw painting pavilions in the Red Building, embroidered households, carved cars and horses scrambled. There were high cabinets and huge shops, all of which were all strange goods and foreign objects; the teahouses and wine shops, but I saw gorgeous clothes and pearls. The road was full of flowers, and the flutes and drums were hustle and empty; the gold and green shine on the sun, and the silk and silk fragrance was wafting. People came and went, and they were swept shoulder to shoulder. The unspeakable prosperity and endless excitement.

Did Yang Heng come from modern times or have seen some worlds? Although he saw the prosperity of society and was full of people, he could still bear it.

But Erya and a few little girls were different. They were all from the countryside, and they had never seen such a prosperous scene.

Therefore, the three little girls now squeezed their heads beside the curtains of the carriage, staring wide, watching from both sides of the street, and each of them showed a look of envy.

The yamen runner took Yang Heng three times and two times. Before he arrived at Yujie, there were various yamen of the court on both sides of the road here.

Since ordinary people are not allowed to travel here casually, they become much more purified when they get here. On the road, people wearing various official robes are all over the place.

The yamen runner brought Yang Heng and others to the front of Taichang Temple.

Taichang Temple is an institution specializing in managing religion, including monks and Taoist sects, and monks and Taoist sects that manage the world.

Yang Heng came here to report, and naturally it was under the management of Daolu Si.

As soon as the yamen runner entered Taichang Temple to report, several middle-aged men in official uniforms came out of it.

The one in the lead has a handsome appearance and has a flowing momentum while walking.

Not to mention this person’s knowledge, how to see this appearance makes people yearn for it, and involuntarily they will feel close.

However, his behavior was a little unnatural in Yang Heng's eyes, because under Yang Heng's Yin-Yang Dharma Eye, there was a ball of black gas gathering on the top of this great official.

If it weren't for the red official spirit, which was covered with an umbrella cover, and preventing the black air from falling, I'm afraid the official would soon suffer the disaster.

I'm afraid this is because I have done too many unethical things, so I have gathered so much resentment. It seems that this adult is also a villain.

When he thought of this, Yang Heng became more cautious. He should know that he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. If this group of people were concerned about him, he might give him some advice behind his back at any time.

Therefore, Yang Heng did not continue to move forward on behalf of the man, so he quickly walked forward a few steps, bowed deeply, and said, "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, I have met the great man."

The official in charge showed a smile on his face when he saw Yang Heng saluting him first.

"You must be polite, Master, you are the guest you invited today. Where can you salute us?"

Although he said so, the official did not return the gift, but stood there and received a gift from Yang Heng.

"Sir, you are too humble. You are the imperial official, and I am just a mountain villager. It is normal to salute the adults."

This time the official was even more satisfied. He reached out and pulled Yang Heng into the yamen together. Then he asked Yang Heng to sit in the flower hall behind the yamen.

Only after each of them sat down did the official introduce himself.

It turned out that he was the minister of Taichang Temple - Wang Da, who was in charge of monks and Taoists in the world.

Youdao is worse than a county magistrate to be in charge. Yang Heng was very arrogant to the governor Li in front of the two armies some time ago, but he was very polite to the chief officer who was in charge of his own.

"It turns out that it is Lord Wang, and I have heard of it. Lord Wang has won a lot of benefits for us monks and Taoists in the court. I am here to bring the Taoists in the world to thank Lord Wang."

When he said this, Yang Heng stood up and bowed deeply.

Wang Da sat on his head, touched his beard, nodded with a smile on his face, and then said modestly: "It's nothing, this is what I should do."

Wang Da is now more kind to Yang Heng.

Because of Yang Heng's compliment just now, he just scratched his itch.

Although many people in the court now say that he is charming the country, he himself does not think so.

He believed that his cater to the emperor was to work for the court and seek benefits for monks and Taoists in the world.

The conversation between the two people became more cordial, and Wang Da made an exception to tell Yang Heng about the current situation.

"Master Yang, this time you have made great contributions in the encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect. The emperor has heard a lot, so he invited you to meet in the capital."

"I am just a little bit of credit, but I didn't expect to enter the emperor's dragon ear. I'm really lucky in my three lives."

"Master, even if this is the case, you cannot take it lightly."

When he said this, Wang Da was in owed his body and said intimately: "This time, the emperor invited you to the capital. The national teacher Pudu Cihang, but he was very angry. You have to be careful."

Yang Heng frowned when he heard this, and then asked, "This national master is powerful and I have heard of it, but there is no conflict with my country road. Why is the national master angry?"

Wang Da smiled, then pointed at Yang Heng and said, "Master Taoist, that national master is a Buddhist. You are a master in the Taoist sect. How can he tolerate another Taoist priest in the court and share his honor and favor?"

Hearing this, Yang Heng nodded secretly, but this is the reason.

Since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting endlessly, not to mention in this other world where Taoism is revealed.

"Thank you for your reminder, Lord Wang."

When Wang Da saw Yang Heng, he understood what he meant and felt relieved.

It turned out that Pudu Cihang, the emperor above the court, was becoming more and more arrogant and domineering, and even he was not as respectful to the current emperor as before.

In addition, Pudu Cihang has strong magic power, and many court officials have also attached themselves to his disciples. If it weren't for the court's suppression, I'm afraid the court's right to speak now would have fallen on him.

It is precisely because of this that the emperor heard that Yang Heng, a Taoist priest with strong magic power, made an exception to call Yang Heng to come to the capital, just to make Yang Heng compete with Pudu Cihang.

"Master Yang, you can rest in the inn for a night first. I will report to the emperor tomorrow morning to see when the emperor will summon you."

"Then all, I'll have to do it."

Next, Wang Da ordered his subordinates to lead Yang Heng to the inn at Taichang Temple for a temporary rest.

After arranging Yang Heng, Wang Da hurriedly changed his official uniform and headed straight to the palace.

At this time, the Emperor Shunde of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the harem to meditate and realize the truth.

I saw that in this palace, cigarettes were misty and various scriptures were coming one after another. How could this be the emperor's harem? It was clearly the altar of the temple.

The Emperor Shunde sat on a wooden lotus seat in the main hall, his eyes drooping, and he practiced meditation like an old monk.

Suddenly, an old eunuch came to him gently and whispered: "Long live, Wang Da, the Minister of Taichang Temple, asked for a meeting."

The Emperor Shunde seemed to have not heard it, and still sat there and closed his eyes and spoke.

And the old eunuch stood there with his body bowed, not daring to make any changes.

After a while, the Emperor Shunde slowly opened his eyes, and a palace maid next to him immediately handed over fragrant tea.

The Emperor Shunde took the fragrant tea and rinsed it in his mouth. Immediately another palace maid brought the spittoon to his mouth.

The Emperor Shunde spitted out the tea and said to the old eunuch beside him: "Tell him to come in."

The old eunuch quickly took a few steps back until he retreated to the entrance of the hall, and then he dared to turn around and hurried out.

After a while, the old eunuch led Wang Da to the outside of the hall, and then the decree of the Emperor Shunde came from inside again to allow Wang Da to meet him.

Only then did Wang Da carefully enter the hall under the leadership of the eunuch, then kneel at the corner of the hall, waiting for the orders of Emperor Shunde.

After a while, an old but very majestic voice came from the hall.

"What's wrong with you seeing me in such a hurry?"

Wang Da quickly knelt forward and crawled a few steps, then his face was full of charming smiles.

"Long lively, the Taoist priest you recruited, Yang Heng has arrived. I specially congratulate the emperor."

The Emperor Shunde, who was sitting in the hall, was delighted when he heard Wang Da’s report.

Since he was young, the Emperor Shunde has longed for immortality. If he was in a world where Taoism was not revealed, his idea was nothing more than flowers in the mirror and moon in the water.

But it just so happened that the world where he was in was a world where Taoism and Dharma appeared, and there were endless experts from various schools, which gave the Emperor Shunde an unrealistic luxury.
