Chapter 165 Arrangement
At this time, the two of them had almost finished drinking, so they went back to their house to sleep. The next morning, Zhang Luochen woke up Qin Zi'ang and set off to leave the place after breakfast. However, after taking a few bites, Yang Baichu walked in from outside and said to Zhang Luochen: "Young master, that old monk is dead."
"Diet? Xiao You killed me?" Qin Zi'ang asked in shock, but Yang Baichuan shook his head, "I don't know this, but it seems that it is not. Should the young master go and have a look?"
Zhang Luochen nodded, but he had some expectations for this result.
Half an hour later—
Under a crooked tree in the back mountain, everyone saw the old monk's body. He felt like he was asleep, lying on his back, putting his hands on his abdomen, with a peaceful expression, and even a smile on his lips. Not far away from him, the jar of the corpse of Xiaoyou was burying on the side.
"It seems that this old monk and Xiao You can finally be together." Qin Zi'ang sighed with emotion.
Everyone nodded, everything was indifferent.
Thanks to the tragic story of the two, and thanks to the old monk these days, Zhang Luochen decided to do something good in the end before leaving. Since Xiao You has become the princess of Yinshan, it is difficult for him to prevent the King of Yinshan from coming to disturb him, so they moved the bones of the two into the main hall of Jinlian Temple and buried them under the Buddha statue in the main hall, hoping that this faint Buddha light can protect the souls of the two from being harassed by the underworld.
As for the others, we can only look at the luck of the two.
After all this, everyone left Jinlian Temple together, said goodbye to each other, and set off on their own.
Zhang Luochen left Yan Qiufeng with the address of Lingyun Temple in Lizhou Prefecture, and invited him to go there if he had something to do in the future to meet him.
Then he took Qin Zi'ang and Yang Baichuan on the way back to Lizhou.
Although he decided to go to Longhu Mountain to find a magician to do the main task, the journey of the Southern Chen Kingdom was long, so Zhang Luochen felt it was still necessary to go back to Lizhou Prefecture to explain the arrangements.
Moreover, Lizhou Prefecture is located at the hub of water and land transportation, and it is more convenient to start from there.
Besides, Lizhou Prefecture is building its own temple, and it plans to use it as a base in the future. If a few people go there, there will inevitably be many speculations, which may affect the progress of the temple.
The three of them rushed forward and said nothing. In a few days, they arrived in Lizhou Prefecture and did not go to the city. They went directly to Lingyun Temple. The construction of this large-scale Taoist temple was basically on track at this time. Most of the major buildings can be seen in the prototype. It seems that everything is going smoothly.
However, such a large building complex cannot be completed in a short period of time, especially in the ancient times when there was a lack of construction machinery, it is probably necessary to slowly build the construction cycle in a few months.
When the old Taoist Hongzhouzi saw Zhang Luochen happy, he hurriedly reported the progress of the project to Zhang Luochen, and asked about Zhang Luochen's gains from this trip. After some adjustments in the past few days, Qin Zi'ang was no longer as lonely as before. Especially the tragic story of Xiaoyou and the old monk, he also reflected on the journey, and now he looked calm and said in detail.
Hongzhouzi felt as if he was in the scene. He clapped his hands happily when he heard Zhang Luochen destroying the ghost tree, and sighed when he heard Xiaoyou and the feelings of emptiness.
The few people talked until the time when the lights were in hand, but Xue Hongling came to report that the Lizhou prefect was looking for a visit. Zhang Luochen was quite surprised. Their group came back on horseback this time, so it should not attract the attention of the government.
But the old Taoist Hongzhouzi smiled and shook his head and said, "The National Master is now a great minister, and every move is eye-catching. Since the young master left, I have inquired about it every three days and searched for it every two days, but I am very concerned about it."
Hongzhouzi said it in one sentence, which made Zhang Luochen let go of his guard and said to the outside world: "Please hurry up."
After the snake demon was killed by Zhang Luochen, the governor of Lizhou, Wang Zhou, was considered peaceful and everything went smoothly. So his body was growing in size, and even the official uniforms he had changed was full.
Seeing Zhang Luochen's smile, he quickly walked to Zhang Luochen and bowed and said, "The emperor has seen the national master Wuchen. I haven't seen him for a few days. The national master's style is even more majestic. The emperor is really hard to beat him."
"It's easy to say." Zhang Luochen didn't care much about this flattery. He immediately went over vaguely and asked Wang Zhou: "There's just something that wants to bother Lord Wang. I don't want Lord Wang to come here by myself."
"I dare not take responsibility for the officials. If there is something to do, the national teacher will give me the order." Wang Zhou's face showed even more joy. Isn't this national teacher willing to trouble him?
"You sit first." Zhang Luochen saw his fat body and was really embarrassed to stand. After he sat down, he said: "I have eliminated the monsters in Jinghua County, but I am also a ghost tree. However, this tree has a profound Taoist practice and has become a spirit and transformed into a human form. It took me a lot of trouble, but at least I will kill it and live up to the king's order."
"This official document has really disturbed me. I'm sorry to ask Lord Wang to inform Your Majesty on his behalf and let Your Majesty directly send a letter to Lizhou if you find out."
Zhang Luochen's words were strange, but he didn't know that Wang Zhou was hearing it, but he was even more awe of him. After all, he said that the national teacher had a very special relationship with the king. The matter of passing on the king's destiny was so casual, just like a letter from home.
He hurriedly moved his body and stood up again, bowed and said respectfully: "Yes, the official must do his best to share the worries of the national teacher."
"Sit, sit, what's the matter with Lord Wang today?"
Wang Zhou was about to sit down and stood up immediately and replied: "I heard that the national master returned to the city and held a special banquet to welcome the national master."
When he talked about the banquet, Zhang Luochen remembered the last celebration banquet. He felt that it was boring to deal with these people. He refused and said, "Just forget it, I'm tired of it. I'm going to have a good rest. Let's talk about it later."
He is free and carefree, and he is aloof in his identity. He doesn't care about these mundane things, but Hongzhouzi, who has been dealing with all kinds of trivial matters for him recently, can't sit still. You should know that strong dragons do not suppress local snakes. In this Lizhou Prefecture, it is cheapest to have the support of the government. He secretly winked at Zhang Luochen at the moment.
Zhang Luochen was amused, but he also understood what Hongzhouzi meant. Seeing Wang Zhou standing in the local area with awkward expression, he did not say anything, and immediately said to ease his words: "It's just that I have let Lord Wang down. Why not do this? Taoist Master Hongzhouzi followed me for a long time and was also cooking for me. Can you be half of my family? I'll let him go to the banquet for me?"
Hey, Hongzhouzi looked helpless. He asked you as a national teacher, but what did I think I went there?
But Wang Zhou looked happy when he heard the voice, and hurriedly said to Zhang Luochen: "Yes, yes, yes, thank you for your hard work in the national guru, it is okay to discuss some things with the Taoist priest."
Yes, a sentence has revealed his true intentions. It seems that he is asking for something, but it is irrelevant that he did not directly mention it to him, and he ignored it now.
Hongzhouzi didn't have much ability to subdue demons, but he was able to deal with the officialdom and immediately saluted Wang Zhou: "If you say so, the old Taoist is ashamed of receiving the good wishes of the lord."
Wang Zhou and Hongzhouzi said goodbye to Zhang Luochen and walked out humbly. Zhang Luochen felt tired after reading it. He really didn't like such superficial articles.
I asked Xiaoyanzi to call her and asked about her the progress of the Sales Hospital these days. She was busy until the afternoon of the next day.
