Xu Yunqing was wearing a green Taoist robe. She stood on the dock, looking at Fu Xiaoguan with a smile on her face as he looked surprised.
Fu Xiaoguan knew that Xu Yunqing was in Far East Road, but he didn't expect her to appear here.
Bai Yulian, Yun Xiyan, and the others who followed Fu Xiaoguan off the boat were also startled. The crowd immediately bowed and saluted. Xu Yunqing waved his hand and said, "Alright, you guys settle down at the First Fleet camp first. I'll take my son out to play."
Bei Wangchuan and Ning Siyan were both stunned for a moment and looked at Fu Xiaoguan. As the personal bodyguards of the current Emperor of Daxia, they dared not let the emperor out of their sight. This was the entrustment of the ten concubines and the request of the three prime ministers!
Now, Fu Xiaoguan is related to the stability of the entire Daxia, and is also involved in the future and destiny of more than 300 million people in Daxia. Naturally, they dare not be careless, even when facing the Queen Mother.
Fu Xiaoguan shook his head at the two of them, "She is my mother! Besides, how could there be so many unruly people in Daxia who want to harm me? Moreover, they are in the Far East. You should follow Bai Yulian, and I will come back to find you later."
"No, it is your duty to protect the emperor's safety. You will go with the emperor."
"...I, your Majesty, must follow you and serve you!" Liu Jin said hurriedly, and Xu Yunqing nodded in agreement.
…
…
A train of horse-drawn carriages left Ezo Wharf and drove along the streets of Ezo.
In one of the carriages, Xu Yunqing looked at Fu Xiaoguan meaningfully and suddenly asked, "Have you not forgotten what Su Changsheng said before he died?"
This refers to the words that Su Changsheng told Fu Xiaoguan about the eighteenth floor of Tianji Pavilion. Su Changsheng's words were ambiguous, but Fu Xiaoguan kept them in mind.
Fu Xiaoguan nodded, "I'm a little curious after all."
"Can we not go and find out?"
"...Mom, do you know what's down there?"
Xu Yunqing leaned forward, her face solemn. She said seriously, "Mother left the palace and stayed in the Taoist temple for a full five months!"
"In the past five months, Mother has read through almost the entire collection of books in the Taoist temple and discovered some unusual things."
Fu Xiaoguan was startled. "Please tell me about it, mother."
"The Tianji Pavilion was established a thousand years ago. It was only after the Tianji Pavilion that the Dali Empire came into being!"
"The monarch of the Dali Empire decided to establish the capital in Guanyun City. The name Guanyun City has remained unchanged for a thousand years."
"In fact, the history of this world before a thousand years ago is extremely vague, but two things are basically certain - because of the Tianji Pavilion, Guanyun City came into being. At the same time, it also gave rise to the Taoist Temple... The Taoist Temple was also founded a thousand years ago! Because of the Taoist Temple, Jinling City later came into being!"
"And Jinling City was founded by the Great Zhou Dynasty a thousand years ago!"
"In that era, this vast territory was home to many tribes, none of which were large. Only after the establishment of Dali and Dazhou did they each rule over all the tribes in the north and south, forming the two most powerful nations."
"They should be the earliest countries in this territory."
"But after they were unified, the Tianji Pavilion emerged as a world-renowned spy. As for what role the Tianji Pavilion played before the founding of Dali, and who the earliest Pavilion Master was, no one knows."
"What about the Taoist temple?" Fu Xiaoguan asked, because the Taoist temple has been passed down to this day, but the current master of the temple has died, and the Taoist temple has not yet been re-established.
"The current Taoist temple is not the original one. The original Taoist temple was located in the Nanshan Villa outside Jinling City today."
Fu Xiaoguan frowned, because when he was in Jinling, his master Su Changsheng asked his eldest brother Su Jue to preside over the construction of a new Taoist temple, which was on the Nanshan Mountain opposite the Nanshan Villa!
"I read this in a secret document: After the Great Zhou Dynasty established the city of Jinling, a fire broke out at the former Nanshan Taoist Temple. The massive temple was reduced to ashes, and thousands of Taoists perished in the flames."
"Then there was no more Taoist temple in the world. It wasn't until hundreds of years later, when the Chen family revolted and overthrew the Great Zhou Dynasty, that the Taoist temple was quietly established at the current location."
In other words, some disciples of the Taoist temple actually survived the fire?
"Behind the Chen Dynasty's replacement of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are there the shadows of Taoist disciples?"
Xu Yunqing nodded, "He is the current Taoist master Su Xunmei!"
"The Daoist academy is newly established, and so are the rules. The master has issued a strict instruction: All disciples of the Daoist academy should devote themselves to martial arts, retreat in prosperous times, and emerge in troubled times."
"The Taoist Academy's martial arts are unrivaled in the world, but the inheritance of this martial arts comes from the Tianji Pavilion!"
Fu Xiaoguan was horrified, but then he heard Xu Yunqing continue, "In that fire, all the martial arts books in the Taoist academy were burned. However, the master said in his secret message... all the martial arts books in the Taoist academy today, including the Nine Yang Heart Sutra you practice, came from the Tianji Pavilion!"
"So the martial arts of the Dali Empire at that time were extremely powerful, and this power has continued to this day. They have the Tianji Pavilion, and as long as their emperor is willing, he can copy those classics for people to practice."
"I don't know how the Taoist master, Su Xunmei, obtained the imperial seal. He entered the Tianji Pavilion. The Taoist martial arts books are on the eighth floor of the Tianji Pavilion."
"He even went to the eighteenth floor, but he only left a message, which was written on the door: Don't go in, curiosity killed the cat!"
The expression on Fu Xiaoguan's face suddenly changed. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Is that really what you said?"
Xu Yunqing pulled out a piece of parchment from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Fu Xiaoguan. He asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't you be asking what this sentence means? Do you understand?"
Fu Xiaoguan took the parchment and murmured, "Curiosity really does kill the cat!"
So someone has been to this world before.
But how did he come here?
The fact that the writing system in this vast territory is so unified is probably the result of his teaching.
The civilization of this world... He did not have much influence on the progress of this world's civilization. He only supported the Dali Empire and perhaps also supported the Da Zhou Dynasty.
There is an old chess table in Guanyuntai, or maybe he didn't come alone, but with two people.
So what was his final outcome?
After Fu Xiaoguan finished reading the secret code on the parchment, he gave up the idea of going on a sea expedition. He wanted to return to Guanyuntai immediately and visit the eighteenth floor of Tianji Pavilion.
There must be things they recorded in there. I don’t know which era they came from, and I don’t know what they did in this world.
Xu Yunqing kept looking at Fu Xiaoguan and asked again, "The Taoist temple said there was a chosen one, and it seems to be true. Su Changsheng once said that you must be the chosen one, and it seems to be true as well."
"So, am I your mother?"
