The Great Tang Dynasty: Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings, Starting with a Little Rhinoceros Offer

Coming to his senses, Jiang Lin looked at his still sobbing little apprentice and reached out to pinch her cheek.

It's pink and still feels so good to the touch.

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

Jiang Lin said softly.

"Mingda, your master has a way to get you back!"

The baby's crying stopped abruptly.

She looked up, and a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in her teary eyes.

She looked at Jiang Lin pitifully.

"Master..."

"Was it steamed?"

"Can Master Hu take Sizi back to find her mother?"

Jiang Lin nodded, his tone certain.

"Of course it can be done."

"After all, I am Mingda's master!"

The little one stopped crying and started laughing again; he was alternating between crying and laughing.

Her little face was all smeared, she looked like a little kitten.

Jiang Lin lifted the sleeve of his Taoist robe and gently wiped the chubby little face.

His own Three Luminaries Daoist Robe also possessed the characteristic of being unblemished by dust.

So after a few moments, the little kitten transformed back into that exquisite and adorable little cutie.

The little guy was overjoyed when he heard he could go back.

Then, things became complicated again.

Her two little hands were twirled together, and she looked quite embarrassed.

She wanted to go back to comfort her father and mother and not let them worry.

But in her heart, she really couldn't bear to part with her master.

There are sweet dried persimmons here.

There are beautiful fairy clothes.

There's also Shi Hu, who's incredibly gentle with her.

For a moment, the little guy was caught in a dilemma.

Her two light eyebrows were almost furrowed together.

Jiang Lin immediately saw through Xiao Sizi's thoughts.

A warm feeling welled up inside me, and I patted the other person's little head.

"Mingda, don't worry about it."

"Master assures you."

"Even if we return to the Tang Dynasty, Master has a way to bring Mingda back at any time."

Upon hearing this, the little boy suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Steamed?"

"After Sizi goes back... will he be able to see Shihu again?"

Jiang Lin nodded heavily.

"Of course it's true."

"If you don't believe me, let's pinky swear!"

The little guy tilted his head and asked in a cute way.

"Master..."

"Pinky promise... what's this now?"

Jiang Lin then explained with a smile.

"The pinky promise is the agreement between Master and Mingda."

"Once you make a pinky promise, you have to keep it."

"Anyone who goes back on their word is a puppy... no, a little rhinoceros!"

Upon hearing the words "little rhinoceros," the little rhinoceros immediately tensed up.

"Don't be an ugly little rhinoceros, Sizi!"

"Rhinoceros, let's pinky swear!"

Jiang Lin couldn't help but chuckle and extended his little finger.

"Come on, stick out your little finger."

Little Sizi imitated him, extending her pink little finger.

Two fingers, one big and one small, gently hooked together in the air.

Jiang Lin's thumb stamped the seal on Xiao Sizi's thumb.

"Pinky promise, for a hundred years, never to be broken!"

Perhaps they found the ceremony interesting.

Throughout the process, the little ox kept letting out clear, cheerful laughter.

Even after the pinky promise was over, the little guy lingered, clinging to Jiang Lin's finger and refusing to let go.

Jiang Lin could only smile helplessly and continue to coax him.

"Alright, the agreement is now in effect."

"Mingda, go back and let your mother know you're safe."

"When it's almost time, your master will come to pick you up."

Only then did Xiao Sizi reluctantly loosen her grip.

She took a step back and looked at Jiang Lin very seriously.

"It's a promise, Master."

"We absolutely must bring Sizi back!"

"Otherwise...otherwise Shi Hu is a little rhinoceros!"

Jiang Lin nodded with a smile.

"Okay, it's a deal."

After saying that, he had a thought in his mind.

His consciousness sank into his sea of ​​consciousness, activating the time travel function within the Three Officials Mysterious Chapter, and he agreed to his disciple's return.

Just then, the little ox suddenly cried out in surprise.

"what?"

"Master!"

"Sizi heard the voice in her head again!"

"It asked the rhinoceros if it wanted to go home..."

The little guy looked at Jiang Lin in surprise.

"So that voice...was Shi Hu's voice!"

Jiang Lin was slightly taken aback. The magical voice in the little guy's mind was actually himself?

But before he could speak, the next second...

The Flowing Moon Immortal Robe on Xiao Sizi's body suddenly emitted a soft blue light.

The light completely enveloped her small body.

call out--!

A flash of light.

The little boy's figure disappeared into the main hall in an instant.

The Taoist temple, which had been filled with laughter and joy, fell silent instantly, leaving only the rising wisps of sandalwood smoke.

Looking at the empty hall, Jiang Lin suddenly felt a strong sense of loss.

"This little thing is really a joy to behold."

Jiang Lin shook his head and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

However, this disappointment quickly disappeared.

He clearly sensed it through the Three Officials Mysterious Chapters in his sea of ​​consciousness.

A faint yet resilient thread of cause and effect is connecting to somewhere in the void.

That is the connection between him and his apprentice, which remains closely linked even after a thousand years.

He can sense the other person's state at any time, as long as he wants.

......

Meanwhile, in the Tang Dynasty, things were just as Jiang Lin had predicted.

At this moment, the Lizheng Hall was already in complete chaos.

The atmosphere at the scene was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.

"My little rhinoceros... my little rhinoceros!"

On the imperial bed, Empress Zhangsun, the dignified and virtuous mother of the nation, sat.

At this moment, her hair was slightly disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and she had already been crying her eyes out.

His face was as pale as paper, and his body swayed precariously.

If someone hadn't been there to support her, she probably would have fainted long ago.

Beside her stood a young girl dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Although the girl was only twelve years old, she had already grown into a graceful young woman, and her features bore a striking resemblance to Empress Zhangsun.

This is Princess Chang Le, Li Lizhi.

At that moment, she was anxiously supporting her mother, her eyes also red.

Below the main hall, the palace maids who originally served Xiao Sizi were all kneeling on the ground.

Shivering, I didn't dare to breathe.

His forehead was pressed against the cold floor tiles, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"Mother..."

Li Lizhi suppressed her inner turmoil and gently comforted her.

"Don't be too sad. The imperial physician said that your body can't withstand such a shock."

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun's tears flowed even more fiercely.

His voice choked with sobs, filled with boundless panic.

"Such a big child..."

"How could you just disappear like that!"

"This is the inner palace... surely we can't fly, can we?"

Li Lizhi was also extremely anxious, and her heart was filled with great doubts.

She had just confirmed several times that her younger sister's personal maid, Hongxiu, had been dutifully guarding outside the room.

Only my younger sister was taking a nap in the room, but when the nap time was over...

When Hongxiu went in to call for someone, she found the bed empty!

It was as if he had vanished into thin air, completely disappearing from sight.

This is simply unbelievable!

This really worried everyone.

Empress Zhangsun was already in poor health, and now she was even more agitated.

Li Lizhi's father, Emperor Li Shimin, was a powerful and composed ruler.

Upon learning this news, he immediately abandoned the ministers who were in the middle of a meeting.

He rushed over like a madman without even having time to change out of his dragon robe.

Li Shimin personally led his men to turn the entire Lizheng Hall upside down.

But a full incense stick's time has already passed.

The usually most lively little Sizi was still nowhere to be found.

The hearts of the people grew heavier and heavier.

Could it be... that evil spirits are at work?

In order not to affect her frail mother, Li Lizhi could only pretend to be calm.

"Mother, don't worry."

"Didn't Father just say that he has already gone to invite Master Yuan?"

"Master Yuan is a cultivator; once he arrives, he will surely be able to determine the whereabouts of the rhinoceros..."

However, that's what I'm saying.

Li Lizhi looked at the empty palace gate, but she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

If even Master Yuan can't help... what should we do?
