On the afternoon of the day when Li Wei visited, Yang Kang reported: "Prince Lu, Eunuch Feng will go to Baiyun Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow morning. I would like to ask if you need to disguise yourself and go there together?"

Zhu Yili was stunned for a moment and asked, "Baiyun Temple prays for? Who are the companions praying for?"

"For Mr. Zhang and for himself."

"What's wrong with companioning him?"

"Eunuch Feng said that he has been exhausted in the past two days and feels like his bones are falling apart, so he wants to go to Baiyun Temple to pay tribute and pray for blessings."

"What's the specific reason?" Zhu Yili asked again.

"I don't know very well."

Zhu Yiliu thought for a while: "Okay, you can go with me tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Zhu Yiliu took Yang Kang to Baiyun Temple first.

When I went there, I disguised myself as a disguise, but I didn't go with Feng Bao.

Yang Kang knew about Baiyun Temple in Beijing, and Zhu Yili also knew that it was one of the three major ancestral temples of Quanzhen in China. Because the real person Qiu Chuji of Changchun was buried here, it was famous.

There are many famous scenic spots in the four suburbs of the capital, and they cannot be listed. Just talking about the south of the capital, there are three famous scenic spots: the Jingzhou Tower of Cangzhou in the remote suburbs, and the great Bodhisattva in Zhending Mansion. The largest scenic spot in the nearby suburbs is Baiyun Temple, about two miles outside Xibianmen.

Baiyun Temple is known as the "Immortal Capital" in Taoism. This Taoist temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and was originally named Tianchang Temple. It is used to worship the ancestors of Taoism.

Since then, it has been repeatedly destroyed and has been repeatedly destroyed, and it is not very famous. What is truly famous was after the famous Taoist Qiu Chuji came to the courtyard.

Qiu Chuji was the founder of the Longmen Sect of Taoism. He was regarded as a "god" by Genghis Khan. Therefore, he was very famous in the Yuan Dynasty, and Baiyun Temple was famous for it.

After Qiu Chuji died, he buried his bones here, so that on the 19th day of his birthday, the common people in the capital would come to Baiyun Temple to sacrifice with incense paper and firecrackers and three litters.

Over time, the nineteenth day of the first lunar month became the Yanjiu Festival that people in the capital must pass.

During the Yanjiu Festival, various tents and curtains are built around the square outside the Baiyunguan Mountain Gate, which are several miles long.

All the Taoists from all over the country came here, either offering sacrifices, ceremonies, refining elixirs, or selling talismans. The chimes and bowls rose and fell all day long, and the Tao was full of ears.

As there were many people, the red men and green women from the capital also came to flirt and play here, which attracted hundreds of small vendors, including those who sell candied haws, steamed cakes, wine and tea, from silk clothes to antique calligraphy and paintings, all kinds were filled with Tao'er.

There is no need to say much about the lively atmosphere.

After Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, the Yanjiu Festival added another content, that is, the eunuchs in the palace must rush to Baiyun Temple to pay tribute to each day.

It was because I don’t know which month of the year, which one of the rootless Da Yan was verified, and said that on the birthday of Qiu Chuji’s first monk, he actually castrated himself for Juechen’s heart.

Therefore, the eunuchs regarded Qiu Chuji as the leader of the eunuchs' "Eunuch Gang". Not only did they pay tribute to the Yanjiu Festival every year, they would come whenever they encountered anything.

...

Zhu Yiliu brought Yang Kang to Baiyun Temple, and the Taoist inside did not recognize them.

I wanted to go in and visit first, but was stopped by the Taoist and refused to let in.

The reason is very simple. Baiyun Temple has received instructions from the Dongchang. Eunuch Feng is coming to pay tribute today, so no idle people are allowed to enter.

Yang Kang was angry but wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Zhu Yili. Those who did not know were not guilty and disguised themselves as if they were disguised. Isn’t it just inconvenient to show off the identity of King Lu? Besides, Feng Bao knew that they were coming, and he would definitely arrive soon.

As expected.

In a moment, a loud shout passed through the morning light and uploaded from the avenue between the vast countryside to the square in front of Baiyunguanmen.

"Eunuch Feng is here--"

It caused a commotion immediately.

Zhu Yili quickly took Yangkang back to the square again, and saw a large area of ​​sedan chairs of various colors falling from here. It turned out to be a group of eunuchs in red clothes who arrived in advance. After hearing the shouts, they hurriedly stretched their necks and headed towards the road.

Feng Bao always looked respectful in front of several masters, but he was so majestic elsewhere that he was like an emperor traveling.

There was only a burst of rapid sound of horse hooves, and more than twenty cavalry soldiers rushed into the square in an instant. They were all wearing round hats and white boots, and twelve round necklines and buttons. They knew they were soldiers from the East Factory at a glance.

Although the leader of the Zhangtie Xing was dressed in a military officer's uniform, his identity was still much shorter than the big squid in the palace.

But he believed that he was an official of the East Factory and Feng Bao's leading officer, so he didn't take the big men seriously. He just nodded to everyone, and then ordered his subordinates: "There are many people in the square, so you should take it seriously."

He certainly didn't know that Zhu Yili had arrived, so he did not search for Zhu Yili's figure in the crowd, but just waited in front of the square.

A long row of ceremonial guards had entered the square, and a large sedan chair carried by eight people slowly came. The square was silent, and everyone's eyes were turned to the sedan chair.

Since Feng Bao became the eunuch of his boss's Lijian, especially in the past ten years when he was the boss's Lijian, Baiyun Temple has almost become his "family temple". During the annual Yanjiu Festival, he must come to pay homage to Qiu Chuji in person. Whenever he encounters difficult things in daily life, he always goes to Baiyun Temple to ask for a fortune teller.

Both the Doula Pavilion on the East Road and the Luzu Hall on the West Road are equipped with signs for tourists to draw lots, but Feng Bao never had those two places. The abbot of Baiyun Temple, Taiyi Dao Ren, specially prepared signs for Qiuzu Hall behind Laojun Hall on the Middle Road, only for Feng Bao. Except for him, no one could come here to ask about the mystery and destiny.

Although Feng Bao got up early, he arrived in front of Baiyunguan Mountain, but it was already past Chen Hou.

In addition to the eunuchs in the palace and the military service of the East Factory, there were two rows of Taoist men standing in front of the mountain gate.

Zhu Yiliu and Yang Kang stood in the corner without any sense of existence. At this time, their eyes were all on Feng Bao's sedan chair, and no one paid attention to them.

Upon hearing the news, the abbot Taiyi, who was waiting at Lingxing's door, hurriedly brought the four Taoists to meet him, bowed his head, and said with a smile: "Welcome to my grandfather!"

A pretty eunuch went to the sedan chair and raised the curtain. He heard a gentle but majestic cough. Feng Bao bowed out of the sedan door.

Feng Bao was very particular about his clothes when he was traveling today. It can be seen that he had put some thoughts on it. Instead, he wore a silk cotton Taoist robe made of high-quality lake silk and a pair of short boots made of lambskin. The round studs on the boots were shining golden, unlike brass, and most of them were made of pure gold.

Although this outfit is not as good as an official, it looks elegant and luxurious. On the one hand, it respects Baiyun Temple, and on the other hand, wearing Taoist robes means to follow the customs.

Although Feng Bao was indescribable, he was not as handsome as the first master, nor was he focused only on one place like the abbot Taiyi Dao Ren.

After getting off the sedan chair, he slowly glanced around. Zhu Yili felt that Feng Bao had discovered him, but Feng Bao did not stop deliberately.

After all, there were many people at this time, so it was quite taboo to take charge of the seal and the prince in Beijing to meet Baiyun Temple.

Although Feng Bao was not in a good mood recently, when he saw the majestic fairy atmosphere in the building in front of him, he felt sweet when he took a breath. He couldn't help but feel energetic and followed Taiyi Dao people toward the mountain gate.

However, he waved to Taiyi Dao Ren as he walked, and obviously had a whisper to say.

Taiyi Dao Ren and Feng Bao have been good friends for many years, so they did not shy away from it and immediately came to Feng Bao's ears respectfully.

Feng Bao whispered: "After a while, I will send someone to invite the two young men in the southwest corner to Qiu Zutang behind Laojun Hall."

Taiyi Dao Ren was stunned and said inexplicably: "Old Madam Feng, which southwest corner?"

"It is the southwest corner of the square in front of Baiyun Temple at this moment."

Taiyi Dao Ren was about to turn his head, but Feng Bao woke up and said, "Don't go and see it deliberately."

Taiyi Dao Ren had to hold back and whisper, "Ko Qiu Zutang is only set up for Old Master Feng!"

Feng Bao said: "He is different."
