Mason Xuan and the Mirror of Mystique Chapter 58

On the carriage road on the outskirts of Qingping County, a long horse team was marching forward. The dress of this team was quite unusual. They are all wide robes with large sleeves, with ferocious beast patterns embroidered on the front and back. But other than that, the entire robe is just a flash of white. It is stirred by the wind caused by the horse's hooves running, and the sleeves are like clouds. It also shows a sense of beauty that is mixed with evil and clean.

These people on horseback can't tell how old they are just by looking at their clothes and bodies. They seem to be constrained by various manners all year round. At first glance, they all appear to be strict and upright. As for their faces... each of them was wearing a simple animal-faced mask, so their faces couldn't be seen clearly.

There were about a hundred people in the long cavalry, two columns parallel, with three carriages sandwiched in the middle, and the door curtains were tightly closed. There are high flags on both sides of the three carriages, with six flags in front and back. The dark background is faintly embroidered with complicated patterns. It is difficult to distinguish them at first glance. Only under the sunlight can you vaguely see the outline of some threads. In the middle of the black flag, there are two big characters Coiling Dragon and Qu Mang------Taichang.

In the previous dynasty, Taichang was in charge of the rituals of heaven and earth, ghosts, gods, bad luck, yin and yang, and set up Taichang Temple Minister and Shaoqing to oversee all things. Since Taichang passed into the hands of the Imperial Preceptor, the powers of these people have been very limited, and Taichang Temple Minister has become the deputy of the Imperial Preceptor. However, no one could tell how old the Imperial Preceptor was at that time, and the deputies around him had also been replaced several times.

It is said that in addition to selecting one or two children with Buddha nature to educate them every few years, the Imperial Master also selects a group of boys and girls with excellent qualifications to be taught by Taichang Temple. They will be raised until they are ten years old. As a 徲子 who performs Nuo rituals, the largest 徲子 cannot exceed sixteen. When they are over sixteen, some of them will take over other positions in Taichang Temple.
