Zhou Xia smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, we are on the same road."

Seeing Zhou Xia laughing, Shutong was dazzled and unable to control himself for a moment. Ban Jin quickly patted him to avoid losing his composure.

Afterwards, Zhou Xia walked with them.

After arriving at the next town, the three of them fought for the night and hired the carriage again the next day. Zhou Xia paid for the carriage and said that it was the best carriage and the fastest horse, so he didn't have to worry about the money.

Ban Jin took the book boy into the carriage, but Zhou Xia drove his horse himself.

What surprised the two was that Zhou Xia's skills were also very good.

This place is not far from Jing State, and there is also a very fast carriage. In the evening, we will arrive at the royal city of Jing State.

Although Ban Jin had been to Jing State before, he had not been to the Taoist temple. However, even those who had not been to the Taoist temple knew the location of the Taoist temple because its status in Jing State was transcendent. The Taoist temple had its own rules and no one could offend it. Even the Queen of Jing State had no jurisdiction over the Taoist temple, not to mention that the president of the Taoist temple was the queen's brother, and the relationship between the two was quite good.

Previously, Ban Jin heard that outsiders needed to report and register to enter the Taoist temple, but ordinary people could not enter. He prepared the official documents of the Ya Kingdom to prove his identity as a historian, which should be fine. So, when the carriage was about to drive to the Taoist temple, he hurriedly said to Zhou Xia:

"Miss Zhou, this journey is really troubled. The Taoist temple is coming soon. I have to get off the bus later and find the guards of the Taoist temple to communicate. It is not easy to waste the girl's time, so why don't we part with it..."

Zhou Xia raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? You don't have to worry about entering the Taoist temple. Just follow me in."

As she said that, she didn't explain to the post and drove forward in a carriage.

Before Ban Jin could stop her, Zhou Xia drove the carriage to the gate of the Taoist yard.

However, Ban Jin expected that the carriage would be stopped.

Zhou Xia drove the carriage and stopped a little at the entrance of the Taoist temple. The guards at the door opened the door and let Zhou Xia drive the carriage in.

Ban Jin was speechless and asked for a while: "Why... is this?"

Zhou Xia smiled proudly and said, "Because I am a privileged class in the Taoist temple!"

privilege?

Ban Jin guessed what identity this Miss Zhou was? She had said that her parents were from Zhibeicheng, so she was from Zhuang, and Wen Ling was from the royal family of Jing Kingdom, which shows that she had no relatives with Wen Ling.

Then she is the core disciple of the Taoist temple?

But she is too young and a woman, not like a core disciple who has already learned something. What's more, even the core disciple can still drive the carriage into the Taoist temple directly?

In Ban Jin's surprise, Zhou Xia drove the carriage to a small courtyard. She jumped out of the carriage and shouted at the yard.

Immediately, several servants came out of the yard.

The clothes on those servants were actually made of silk, and they were obviously not ordinary people.

Zhou Xia gave them a few instructions, and then they came forward and said to Ban Jin and the others:

"Mr. Ban, my lady told us to take you to the guest house in the prefecture to rest."

Zhou Xia nodded to them and went straight into the yard.

Led by two servants, Ban Jin and Shutong walked along a gravel path. Halfway through, Ban Jin couldn't help asking, "Two, I wonder who your lady is, why do you have... privileges in the prefecture?"

One of the two servants smiled and said, "Many people will ask this question. In fact, my lady is just the daughter of a nobleman from Zhuang State before, and now she is just a disciple in the Taoist temple."

Ban Jin said inexplicably: "But..."

"Actually, our servants don't understand the specific reason very much. However, the lady does have privileges in the Taoist temple, which was personally instructed by Dean Wen."

That night, Ban Jin rested in the guest room of the prefecture.

The next day, he explained to the people in the Taoist temple that he wanted to see Wen Ling, presented the documents from the Ya Kingdom, and then waited for the communication.

Before waiting for the reply, he was allowed to visit the prefecture, where he could read the prefecture's collection, but he was not allowed to break into the teaching and living places at will.

The Taoist temple is located in the King of Jing, and the site is very large. It has pavilions, towers, hills, streams and ponds introduced by artificially, and roads are interspersed with strange stones and bamboos on both sides.

Ban Jin walked along the way and felt that the road was winding and secluded, and sometimes it suddenly became clear and unique. The entire Taoist ceremonial was built elegantly and grandly, and he often saw emotions in small places. It was obvious that the owner of the Taoist ceremonial was a wonderful person.

When he was staying in the guest room, he occasionally came out and walked around nearby, and met some disciples from the Taoist temple. Some of them had profound thoughts, unique insights, and good conversation. Ban Jin talked to him and felt like he was bathed in the spring breeze.

He was even more looking forward to meeting Wen Ling, and regretted not knowing the dean earlier in the past.

Whether it is Zhou Xia or other people in the Taoist temple, the disciples are so extraordinary, so what a godly teacher is?

After staying in the guest room for two days, Ban Jin finally obtained permission to meet Wen Ling. It was already evening, and a disciple from the academy came to take over Ban Jin with a lantern. The disciple was very young, but his etiquette was appropriate, and his eyes were still immature, but his demeanor was hidden in his actions.

Ban Jin secretly praised the Taoist sect for any disciple who guided him in the Taoist cemetery. Then, he stood on a wooden stick and walked towards the hall dedicated to the Taoist cemetery with the help of the young disciples.

"Mr. Ban has been waiting for a long time. Our dean is really busy on weekdays. He has just gotten free tonight, so he quickly met with him." The disciple said as he walked.

After all, Ban Jin was also the former prefect of the Clay Kingdom, and he was very old and the Taoist court respected him quite well.

In short, Ban Jin is actually older than Wen Ling. He is just in terms of knowledge, but does not judge the preface by the elders. Ban Jin realizes that Wen Ling has a high status and is difficult to see, and it is also necessary.

While speaking, the two had already arrived outside a brightly lit lobby. The disciple holding the lanterns made a sound notification, and the people inside lifted the curtain and let them in.

Ban Jin followed his disciples in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw an elderly man with a clear face sitting in the lobby. Two disciples beside him bowed and left immediately.

This should be Dean Wen Lingwen. Ban Jin thought to himself, because this person not only has a good appearance, but his temperament is also as quiet as the deep mountains and as quiet as the bottom of the sea. It is simply impossible to describe the human race. It is really a mountain that looks up to the sky and the scenery is like a stagnant.

Even before coming, he was half-believing and half-doubted about Wen Ling's reincarnation identity. Now, Ban Jin has to admit that Wen Ling does have the posture of a god and is not an ordinary person.

"After getting off work, I will serve as a record-keeping officer in Yaguo and come to visit Dean Wen."
