Chapter 46 second quarter

Qingliang Temple—— Seimei sat on the wooden steps of the narrow slatted corridor. Sitting opposite Seimei was a wonderful old man. The old man has gray hair, messy and long, like a flying cap, and a white beard on his face. His dark face was carved with deep and long wrinkles. I don't know if it's from tanning or the original dark skin, or from dirt. The lips that are not smiling, revealing the yellow and long teeth. Ashiya Michiman - This man is usually dirty, but today he is well-dressed, wearing the brocade robes that His Majesty must wear when entering the palace. However, what is completely new is only the appearance, and the inside is the Daoman after all.

That day, when meeting Qingming for the first time in the palace, Daoman scratched the back of his head with the tip of his right finger and greeted Qingming: "Oh, Qingming." Then, an embarrassing smile appeared on the corner of his lips and said, "It's too restrictive here, I can't stand it." Generally speaking, as Daoman, he is not qualified to enter the palace at all. This day is a special day, so the emperor specially allowed him to enter the palace. Qingming and Daoman sat facing each other in the narrow slatted corridor, and in the room facing them, many people from the temple related to this topic had already gathered.

The emperor sat in the imperial curtain of the upper room. Under the first step outside the imperial curtain, on the left and right are Fujiwara Miyori, the left minister, and Fujiwara Shisuke, the right minister. Kanbai Taizheng Minister Fujiwara Tadahei was also present, and Yuan Hiroya could also be seen fidgeting. When Fujiwara Tsuneki was eloquently talking about the opening remarks about the day's fight, Doman just casually looked at the blue sky and floating clouds beyond the eaves. Seimei, who had a vague smile on her red lips, seemed to be dozing off, sitting there with her eyes closed.

Four or five sparrows were pecking at the garden ground. At the end of the opening remarks, Heng Qing said: "Next, how will the game start?" "The weather is really nice today." Daoman murmured, looking up at the sky outside the eaves. Hearing what he said, everyone involuntarily moved their eyes to the sky. Shi Lai and Shi Fu even leaned out and looked at the sky. The emperor sitting inside could not see the sky. The sky was clear and full of early spring sunshine, with just a cloud or two floating overhead. "The clouds are flowing." Daoman continued to whisper calmly like an amiable grandfather. "Even if the weather is so good, as long as the Dragon God is willing, he can immediately set off a storm, let's make it rainy."

"..." Everyone couldn't understand what Daoman was talking about. From the looks of it, Daoman seems to be planning to start performing something, but no one knows what he wants to do. "However, you probably won't be able to see the movements of Fuyun and Dragon God from the upper room." Daoman slightly raised his right hand and waved to the sky. As a result, a piece of floating cloud that was originally floating in the sky suddenly changed its direction and gradually lowered its altitude towards Qingliang Hall. In the blink of an eye, the floating cloud descended over the courtyard and floated into Qingliang Hall.

"Oh!" Floating clouds perched on the ceiling of Qingliang Hall and changed color instantly. From white clouds to dark clouds. Dark clouds began to swirl above everyone's heads, and a slender green lightning flashed in the center of the swirl. "Oh, it's a dragon!" someone yelled. Sure enough, a leaping dragon appeared in the dark clouds, with thunder and lightning wrapped around its body. The turquoise scales flicker in the dark clouds. "It's a dragon!" "There are dragons in the clouds!" Just as everyone was yelling, another roar of a wild beast came from next to their ears.

Taking a closer look, a white tiger appeared on the narrow corridor at some point, with piercing yellow eyes, looking up at the ceiling. "Oh, it's a tiger." "This time a tiger appeared..." The crowd yelled again.Then, with a kick from its hind legs, the white tiger leaped into the air, jumped into the dark clouds, and started a fierce fight with the dragon. At this time, everyone heard someone clap their hands twice, and in an instant, the dark clouds, dragons, and white tigers all disappeared like a dream. The person clapping is Seimei.Seimei opened his eyes, looked around everyone with a smile on his face.

"Hey, this is..." Minister Fujiwara Tadahira exclaimed. Everyone followed Zhongping's line of sight to look down, and found two pieces of paper cut into the shape of a dragon and a tiger falling on the floor. The sky outside the eaves was as clear as before.The floating clouds were still floating in the sky, as if nothing had happened. Everyone finally understood that at this moment, in the Qingliang Palace, Daoman and Qingming seemed to have confronted each other for a round, but they had no way of knowing what power and spells they had cast on each other. Only Qingming and Daoman knew it well.
