Chapter 18, Chang'an Residence is not easy

When I heard the saying that it was difficult to live in Chang'an, many people would probably think of Bai Juyi naturally.

In fact, this story really has something to do with him. Legend has it that when Bai Juyi first arrived in Chang'an when he was young, he went to visit an elder named Gu. The elder advised him, "The rice in Chang'an is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place."

Some say that Bai Juyi's name comes from this. Anyway, Mr. Gu's original intention is probably also joking and admonishing.

Of course, Bai Juyi made a name for himself in Chang'an and became a great poet. To him, he was really "Juyi".

So I naturally don’t care about what Changan rice is expensive.

Similarly, Shi Zi wouldn't care.

After all, he is a dignified demon king and a scattered immortal, so why would he be afraid of the price of rice?

He doesn't even need to show his magic, nor does he need to help people do rituals to make money as a Taoist priest. As long as he takes out some of the things he drew from the system before, he can naturally get a lot of money.

I thought some things were useless before, because they were useless for cultivation, but in the mortal world of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing was the most useful.

So he doesn't have to worry about money at all. Not to mention just living in an inn, it's no problem to buy a few houses here.

However, Shi Zi came here just to verify the sign-in rules of the system. He traveled by the way and only lasted for one month at most, and did not intend to settle for a long time.

Usually I often have to run outside, but if I sleep at night, it is enough to stay in the inn.

This is even more convenient. If you don’t like it, you can change your residence temporarily.

To be honest, the land of mortals is no longer very attractive to him now.

Of course, as a tourist, Shi Zi is still interested in many things.

Not only the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty, he was more interested in the famous ministers and generals who left their names in history.

However, considering that at this time, most of the ones he was familiar with had already been sealed with gold, and they were old and had long lost their enthusiasm as they were when they were young.

I couldn't bear to see the beauty grow old and the hero was old, so Shi Zi thought about it for a while but decided not to go, so I kept my fantasy.

However, there are several places that you have to go to, not to visit, but to see if there are any places you can sign in.

These days, Shi Zi has almost visited all the places that can be visited in Chang'an, but in the end he found that only the Hongfu Temple could sign in.

So next he naturally had to look for those who could not easily get in, the first one was the palace.

If Chang'an is the center of the Tang Dynasty, then the imperial city is the center of Chang'an.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the Emperor of Tang, Song Zu, is here, and there may even be the only future empress Wu Zetian - of course he didn't know that Wu Zetian was only seven years old at this time, and she was still seven years before she entered the palace.

Shi Zi is naturally very interested in going to take a look. Even if he failed to sign in successfully in the end, he would be considered to have enriched his experience.

However, the imperial city in Journey to the West cannot be regarded as an ordinary imperial city. In a world with gods, Buddhism and Taoism, it is better to have a little more awe.

So Shi Zi simply restored his body during this trip, and then flew directly into the tall imperial city with a lice.

Although he is still a lice without deformation on his appearance, his body is actually no longer an ordinary lice.

It's... "Louse King"!

Or, it is the demon king among lice.

Although he was practicing immortality, he did not absorb the essence of the sun and moon or eat people like other monsters, and had reached the realm of immortals, Shi Zi had changed from insects after all, and was logically a part of the monster.

At most, it is even a scattered immortal.

After all, according to the rules of Journey to the West, immortals have immortal books. If you say you are immortals, you are immortals, and someone needs to recognize them.

Just like Sun Wukong and his friends went to the scriptures to become Buddhas, they could directly decide on the Buddha's Jinkou before they could enter Lingshan's "household registration".

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a monster. In fact, in the world of Journey to the West, there are countless free and easy demon kings. Under normal circumstances, the gods and Buddhas in the heavens will not make any trouble to deal with them.

The seven great saints who became sworn monkey back then, except for the monkey who was not in good fortune and was attracted by Buddhism, aren’t most of the others living a free and easy life?

For example, the Bull Demon King, who is still having a romantic life outside with his wife and having children. If it weren't for the plague god Monkey, even if there was a conflict between the family, he wouldn't have gotten his concubine to death and his son was captured, and he would have caught him.

This is a world where humans and demons coexist and gods and Buddhas coexist. Since it can maintain basic balance, and there is yin and yang reincarnation, and the law of cause and effect, even the big bosses, Buddha and the Jade Emperor, will not make any changes easily.

Like Brother Monkey, if he was honestly his Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain, even if he refused the Heavenly Court's revenge, it would probably be fine.

But the monkey was very arrogant and wanted to be the Monkey King. He didn't make any contributions after entering the Heavenly Court, and he also thought that the officials gave him were small.

Then he went to steal peaches and elixirs, and finally secretly returned to Huaguo Mountain because of a ghost in his heart. As a result, the Heavenly Court questioned him, and then attracted the heavenly soldiers and generals to encircle him, and was finally arrested.

After that, he escaped and had another incident, and directly asked the Jade Emperor to summon Tathagata to suppress it with a slap.

If he had read the Water Margin, he would probably think that the Heavenly Court was quite kind, at least he did not give him poison and wine to force him to die.

Although from the perspective of cause and effect, Monkey Brother is destined to have this disaster, maybe it is a chess piece in the hands of powerful people, everything is just following the path set by others for him.

Return to the book...

So at this time, after Shi Zi manifested this body, although the size still looked like lice, he actually narrowed it down deliberately.

If you really release the body prototype without any scruples, the target would be too big.

What, you said lice cannot fly without wings?

Shi Zi himself has no wings and cannot fly anyway. Flying is just an ordinary magical power.

In addition, Shi Zi has already used the method of covering up his own actions with heavy methods of covering up his breath. After all, he has practiced a lot on Monkey Brother at the beginning.

The imperial palace at this time was Daxing Palace, and there was a more famous name in the next generation, Tai Chi Palace.

This palace was first built during the Kaihuang period of the previous dynasty. It is currently the largest palace complex in Chang'an City, including the Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall, Wude Hall and the famous Lingyan Pavilion, all of which are here.

Shi Zi was like he was really coming to visit. He flew along the central axis here, all the way to the north wall of Chang'an, and even crossed the north wall to the inner garden and the forbidden garden, before finally stopping.

It’s not that I’m suddenly tired, or it can be said that I’m tired and tired.

Apart from looking at the buildings and accidentally peeking at some palace maids and concubines along the way, nothing could make him excited.

Li Shimin did not see it, nor did Wu Zetian notice it. Of course, in this kind of situation of watching the lights, it is possible to ignore the past directly when passing by.

More importantly, the system has never moved, as if it was falling into a deep sleep.

If Shi Zizhen hadn't had this experience before, he would have felt this way.

This time, it was not like when I was at the "ruins" of the Water and Land Dojo, but there was no news throughout the journey.

This situation basically shows that this is not a sign-in place for system authentication.

"Hey, I can sign in to the cold palace and become an invincible master. I have traveled all over the palace and even signed in without even a single sign in. This is really..."

Shi Zi complained secretly, and could only calm down and prepare to return.

But at this moment, he heard two palace maids whispering something next to him.

It’s just that he has a good hearing and a strong curiosity. After only a while, he understood what they were talking about.

It turned out that the emperor's twelve sons had just heard of the death of the emperor.

Originally, in an ancient environment, even if a nobleman was born, the chance of death when he was a child was indeed very high. This kind of thing was not surprising to Shi Zi at least.
