In the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, on April 23, the ninth year of Wude, it was sunny, and an imperial edict was spread throughout the world.

The imperial edict said: If monks and Taoist priests avoid levies and do not obey precepts, they are all like Yishu. The temples and temples are adjacent to the residences, and they are mixed with slaughter. Therefore, they are ordered to destiny monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and women. Those who practice diligently will move to the temples and give them food and clothing, so that they will not be exhausted; those who are mediocre and rude will be ordered to stop the road and return to their hometowns.

It can be translated as: monks and Taoist priests evade taxes and corvee labor, and do not abide by the precepts of this religion, which is exactly like Fu Yi said. In addition, temples and Taoist temples are connected to market houses and mixed with butchers' hotels. Therefore, Emperor Gaozu issued an edict, ordering relevant departments to eliminate monks, nuns and men and women from all over the country, and move those who are dedicated to practicing diligently to larger temples and temples to provide them with clothes and food, so that they do not lack anything; for those vulgar, vulgar, rough and ugly people, they ordered them to stop practicing and force them to return to their hometowns.

Later, the temple was destroyed and monks and Taoists returned home. Only three temples and two Taoist temples were retained in the entire capital. Each state retained one temple and one temple, and the rest of the temples were all dismissed.

...

"It's not good, it's not good, it's not good!" On this day, Wu Gong, who often studied at the foot of the mountain, ran back to Xianyun Temple in a panic, shouting while running, alarming the birds all over the way.

Passing past Banshan Pavilion, Zhang Xuanqing and Li Chunfeng were playing chess at Banshan Pavilion: It is not long since the planting of the land was completed. During the Chinese New Year in Modern Time and Space, Zhang Xuanqing planned to spend more time with his family, but he did not return to the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Liu Ping caught him. The geographical crops have just sprouted and there is no need to take care of them. When he is free, Zhang Xuanqing continued his previous days, practicing martial arts, playing piano, playing chess, writing, etc.

Because Zhang Xuanqing's piano sound was too "wonderful" and was excluded by Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others, he had to settle for the second best. When he wanted to play the piano, he walked out of Xianyun Temple and came to Banshan Pavilion. Today he also came out to play the piano by himself, but Li Chunfeng followed him and took the initiative to play chess with him.

Of course, they played chess not just ordinary chess, but practiced calculating techniques, which can be said to be a kind of practice. While immersed in the chess game, they saw Wu Gong running up the mountain so much that both of them stopped.

Li Chunfeng doesn't like to talk, even at this time; Zhang Xuanqing took the initiative to ask: "Sanlang Wu's family, what happened? Why are he so panicked?"

Wu Gong ran away so much that he was so angry that he put his hands on his knees, and gasped and said anxiously: "Master, I just heard the news in the academy. Your Majesty ordered the monks and Taoists to return to secular life..."

"What?" Li Chunfeng was stunned, then was shocked.

Wu Gong knew that he had misunderstood and thought that the emperor asked all Taoists to return to the secular world. He quickly explained that as long as people who concentrate and diligently practiced, they would not be ordered to return to the secular world, but they could not live in their own Taoist temples and needed to go to the official Taoist temples.

After hearing Wu Gong's words, Zhang Xuanqing remembered that this incident was indeed recorded in the historical books. He had no worries and smiled and said, "What is my saying? It turns out that it is this. Wu Family Sanlang, the people in our Xianyun Temple are not the wild Taoist who only knows how to deceive. Even if Your Majesty asks you to return to the secular world, it is not our turn. I just live in another Taoist temple and I think of something big, which is worthy of your panic."

"Uh...hehe..." Wu Gong smiled embarrassedly, and felt that he was making a big fuss. He said apologizing: "The Taoist priest scolded him was a reckless boy who was anxious for a moment, and he broke his qi cultivation skills."

The cultivation of qi by Confucian scholars is not true qi, but righteousness. To put it bluntly, it is the cultivation of the mind and nature.

Li Chunfeng stood up and looked serious: "Uncle Zhang, this is a trivial matter, but you need to tell the master as soon as possible to discuss with him how to deal with it. Why not give up today's chess game for the time being, I will go to meet with Brother Wu to ask the master for advice."

"Go, go!" Zhang Xuanqing waved his hand. Since he was "wondered" to play the piano, Yuan Tiangang's old man has been avoiding him. Now he is playing chess at Banshan Pavilion, and Yuan Tiangang is playing in Xianyun Temple. Strictly speaking, this edict issued by Li Yuan has nothing to do with him. He is "living under someone else's roof", and living is not where to live.

After watching Li Chunfeng and Wu Gong leave, Zhang Xuanqing lowered his head and looked at the unfinished chess game. At this time, the black piece on the chessboard was slightly inferior, which was Li Chunfeng's. In less than a year, due to the memory effect brought by time travel, Zhang Xuanqing's calculation skills were slightly better than Li Chunfeng.

However, although Zhang Xuanqing was watching the chess game, his thoughts in his mind were floating where they were. Since he planned to find traces of ghosts and gods in the ancient times, he made up his mind that it was time to leave this stable residence. If he hadn't been very sleepy in the future, he would meditate and practice in this world at night. He had nothing to do with modern time and space, so he could let go first. But now there is still Liu Ping's problem in modern time and space, and it is not the time to leave. After seeing Liu Ping's parents, he might be able to stay in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty.

However, when he thought that the "Xuanwu Gate Change" that was famous in ancient and modern times would happen in less than two months, he didn't want to leave so early. He hesitated, since he had the fate to come to the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, how could he not witness it with his own eyes? But when he thought about the place where Xuanwu Gate could not be reached, and the Xuanwu Gate Change, the entire Chang'an City might be in danger. He hesitated and felt that it would be better for a gentleman to leave early if he didn't stand under a dangerous wall.

When I was so confused, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the foot of the mountain. Dada, horse hooves were unhappy and the sound was extremely light. If Zhang Xuanqing had not been able to open his ears, it would have been impossible to find it so easily.

The nameless mountain where Xianyun Temple is located is not high and has a huge slope, so there is no problem of slow horse riding.

Zhang Xuanqing turned his head and saw a figure behind the bushes in the distance gradually becoming clearer. He was dressed noblely, handsome in his face and awesome in awe. Even if a person who did not understand the horse's view, he knew it was definitely extraordinary. When he was close, he saw the man's facial features clearly that he was the young noble son he had seen that day when he said goodbye to Liu Jiannan a few months ago.

The young noble son is not someone else, but Qin Li Shimin. Hearing Fu Yi at the court meeting a few days ago, Zhang Daoyuan mentioned the exiled immortal Zhang Xuanqing of Huayuan County, he couldn't help but think of the Taoist priest he had met on this nameless mountain. He has been very bad in recent days. The prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji made things difficult for him, and even slandered his father to dismiss his subordinates and generals, revealing his desire to destroy him. Yesterday, Li Yuan ordered monks, nuns, Taoist priests, female crowns, diligent practitioners to move to the big temple; those who do not diligent practitioners will return to their hometowns and return to secular life. He couldn't help but think of the Taoist priest who "acts weirdly" and suspected to be a master. Staying at home was also depressed, and there were still people monitoring him, so he simply came to the place where the two met for the first time.
