Speaking more carefully, the last time so many monks came to the capital of the gods was probably during the Wanliu Conference, when the Liang Dynasty successively won the civil and military championships, which established the attitude of the Liang Dynasty towards foreign countries in these years.
It's just a matter of the world. When the moon is full, it wanes, and when the water is full, it overflows. It seems that at this moment, the beams will gradually fall like the sunset.
The monks were arranged by the Ministry of Rites to stay in the post house that received monks from outside the country, not far from Tianyuyuan. Speaking of which, since the last time the dean of Tianyuyuan died in the imperial city that night, the Emperor of Liang did not establish a new dean.
, the position is still vacant, and a deputy dean has always been the acting dean.
In fact, everyone can see that the dean of Tianyuyuan is the ghost hiding in Daliang. Now that he has been found out, Daliang's trust in Tianyuyuan has dropped to the freezing point. In addition, the guardian envoys are highly regarded. In the early years,
The confrontation between the two sides is gone now. Fortunately, the Daliang Dynasty is now in turmoil and cannot treat Fang Wai like he did when the Emperor of Daliang was around. Therefore, the role of Tianyuyuan may become important again in the future.
After seeing this clearly, many officials in Tianyuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
If they lose their foothold in Daliang, it will be difficult for them to accept.
In the post house, several Taoist priests from Chixinguan were arranged in an elegant small building, which was regarded as the preferential treatment given by the Liang Dynasty to the leader of the Chixinguan sect.
Taoist Zhenye pushed open the door and stood in the corridor on the second floor, looking at the bright moon tonight with an indifferent expression.
Not long after, another middle-aged Taoist came slowly from the first floor. After arriving on the second floor, he leaned on the railing and tapped the railing unconsciously with his fingers. He looked up at the night sky, where a bright moon was in the sky.
, quiet suspension.
"There is a bright moon tonight."
The Taoist in gray robe withdrew his gaze, looked at Taoist Zhen Ye, and said tentatively: "Senior brother, you said that Yin Li and Wu Wei have always been at odds. Do you think Wu Wei will eventually pass the position of Temple Master to his junior brother?"
The original master of Chixin Temple, the current temple master, is named Yin Li, while the previous temple master, whose Tao name is Wukong.
Taoist Zhenye looked at Taoist Gray Robe and said: "If Yin Li was the master of the temple, he would definitely not pass the position of temple master to Wu Hao at the last moment. But Wu Hao, as a brother, I still admire him. He has been in charge of the temple these years.
There are no internal affairs, big or small, and there are no personal affairs. If it comes to that situation, I think he can pass the position of the master of the temple to Yin Li, who has never dealt with him. After all, the two of them came from the same school, and Yin Li is here.
Although people are narrow-minded, their realm and talent are not bad. Looking at it now, there is actually no more suitable candidate in Guanzhong."
The gray-robed Taoist sighed and said: "Now that Wu Wei has died, and Yin Li has taken the position of contemporary master, I'm afraid he won't be as good as Wu Wei."
Taoist Zhenye nodded, "So we have to do something, at least make some contributions, so as not to let Yin Li do anything to us, and maybe even force him to abdicate. Our lineage is now
Great time for revival.”
The gray-robed Taoist said: "Senior brother, tomorrow..."
Taoist Zhenye said calmly: "This is naturally the case."
"But I don't know whether the Emperor of Liang is alive or dead. What if he reappears in the world one day?"
The gray-robed Taoist was still a little worried.
"It's ridiculous. It's not like you didn't know what happened that day. Is he really a god in the sky? No one in the world can come back alive. The things he did before were just to make us afraid. But this kind of method can bluff
Can’t you live with me?”
Zhenye Zhenren said calmly: "Even if he really comes back one day, he can only find Yinli's head. What does it have to do with us?"
Taoist Zhenye looked at the bright moon again and said calmly: "This Daliang Dynasty relies on nothing more than His Majesty the Emperor. Now without him, this Daliang Dynasty has nothing to look at. It is just a little kid who can be bullied."
Just a lady."
…
…
It rains continuously these days. After all, it doesn't rain all day long. It occasionally stops for half an hour. He Liang works hard by himself. Every half hour, he takes a short break. When he rests, he
Go under the eaves to catch rainwater and wash your face.
I washed my face countless times throughout the day, but this young man still enjoyed it.
At this moment, He Liang had just received a handful of water when he saw two oil-paper umbrellas appearing over there, one high and one low. The one walking in front was a woman in a blue shirt wearing a pair of blue cloth shoes.
Seeing the person coming, He Liang quickly wiped his face randomly, rushed out from under the eaves, and shouted: "Master's Wife!"
Xie Nandu, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella, smiled slightly, spread the oil-paper umbrella over his head, and asked: "You
Where is the master?"
He Liang stood next to Xie Nandu, smelling the pleasant smell of his master's wife, and blushed a little, then said: "Master is in retreat, I guess he won't show up these days."
Xie Nandu took a look inside the bamboo building and listened to the noises. Xie Nandu, who finally took the time to come over, did not feel disappointed. Instead, he waved behind him, and then a young man who was also about the same age as He Liang left.
Come over and look at He Liang.
Xie Nandu said: "The person I just met on the road should be another disciple of your master. Did he tell you about it?"
He Liang looked at the young man in front of him curiously, "Senior Brother Yu?"
The young man smiled slightly and introduced himself, "Yu Qingfeng, I have met Senior Brother He."
On the way here, the woman in front of him who he had never met had already told him something, but it was only now that he heard from He Liang that she was the master's wife.
"No, no, you are the senior brother. Master said that you should be taken in first, and then me, so you are the senior brother!"
The three of them came under the eaves, and after closing their umbrellas, He Liang smiled and said, "Master has told me that if you come, please let my senior brother follow me to strengthen your body first."
Yu Qingfeng nodded. He should have come to Shendu earlier, but he experienced some things on the way, so he was delayed. Later, when he came to Shendu, he heard that his master had accepted a disciple, and he had already done everything.
I prepared to be a junior brother, but I didn’t expect that I would still be a senior brother in the end.
Xie Nandu glanced at the room, and then said: "Since your master is in retreat, I will go back. You can practice according to your master's wishes."
He Liang and Yu Qingfeng nodded and said in unison: "Master, please go slowly!"
Xie Nandu didn't say much and left quickly holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Then there were only two teenagers left here, big eyes facing small eyes.
Yu Qingfeng was more stable than He Liang after all, and he quickly smiled and said: "Since it is Master's wish, I will not postpone it, Junior Brother He."
He Liang grinned.
Afterwards, the two of them sat side by side under the eaves, and Yu Qingfeng said: "Junior brother's accent sounds like he is from Qingshan Prefecture, and I am from Bailu Prefecture."
He Liang nodded, "Senior brother is really awesome."
Yu Qingfeng took a look inside and asked, "Did Master say when he will be released from seclusion?"
He Liang shook his head.
Yu Qingfeng continued to ask: "There are many monks from other places coming to the capital of God these days. Master didn't say anything?"
He Liang shook his head again.
Yu Qingfeng frowned and said softly: "Master is the commander of Zuowei, so these things should be revealed."
He Liang was confused, "Why?"
Yu Qingfeng stared at his junior brother who didn't seem to be very smart. He didn't say much, but changed the subject and asked, "Master wants you to take me to strengthen my body?"
He Liang nodded and said seriously: "That's what Master said."
Yu Qingfeng hummed, but didn't think it was anything. Instead, he smiled and said, "Come on then."
…
…
Today is the day when many monks enter the palace to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. Emperor Liang also happens to have been away from the divine capital for a full month.
The Ministry of Rites had prepared a carriage early and was waiting at the post house. The road from here to the imperial city had already been cleared.
But the officials of the Ministry of Rites in charge of this matter were still trembling and a little frightened.
After finally waiting for the monks to board the carriage, the Minister of Etiquette who was in charge of this matter kept looking at the elegant little building over there. The real big shot, the infatuated Taoist Zhenye did not appear here.
If he doesn't come, he won't be able to set off.
I don’t know how long it took before Taoist Zhenye showed up over there, but he was late.
Taoist Zhenye came to the carriage and was about to enter the carriage. However, he took a step and suddenly stopped. Instead, he turned to look at the Minister of Rites in front of him and asked with a smile: "Has the itinerary been decided?"
The Minister of Rites nodded, "It will take less than half an hour to enter the palace from the post house. His Royal Highness will be waiting for you at the palace gate."
Taoist Zhenye smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince is very polite, but I heard that there are many delicacies in Shendu, and there is a thing called candied dates, which tastes good, and I want to buy some."
The Minister of Rites smiled and said: "Since the real person wants it, I will immediately send someone to buy it."
Taoist Zhenye shook his head and said: "Why bother, just go by yourself. If you don't mind the trouble, how about we take a detour?"
"this……"
The Minister of Rites was a little hesitant. He had already arrived in advance on the way to the palace.
If the arrangement is properly arranged, no common people will show up. However, if we choose to take a detour at this moment, we are afraid that we will encounter some people in the divine capital. Now the people of the divine capital are boiling with resentment. If we really encounter them, we don't know what will happen.
Taoist Zhenye said calmly: "Sir, Pindao is not discussing with you."
The Minister of Rites' scalp was numb, and he quickly said bravely: "Since the real person is so elegant, let's go."
Taoist Zhenye smiled slightly, turned around and got into the carriage without saying anything.
Before setting off, the Minister of Rites summoned his subordinates and told him in a low voice: "Go to the palace quickly to report this matter. You must let His Highness the Crown Prince know as soon as possible."
The official left in a hurry, and the carriage began to move forward slowly.
The sound of the horse's hooves on the bluestone floor was no longer clear to the ears of the Minister of Rites, and he only felt irritated.
…
…
The team deviated from the original planned route, which caught the officials of Shendu unexpectedly. Therefore, many people quickly appeared on both sides of the street. Looking at these carriages, the people quickly realized who these people were, so they looked at them countless times.
In an instant, he threw himself towards the carriage.
The emotions in those eyes were mixed, but most of them were disgust.
The Tenyuyuan officials in charge of security all looked nervous.
I don’t know why, but this time the task of guarding these foreign monks did not fall to the left and right guards. Instead, it was the officials of Tianyuyuan who were chosen.
The carriage passed through the first long street and soon approached a shop selling candied dates. People had already gathered on both sides of the street.
It is no longer easy to drive the people away at this moment, so the officials can only hope that the people will not cause any trouble.
The carriage of Master Zhenye stopped in front of a shop selling candied dates, and then this infatuated Taoist master walked out and came to the shop.
The shopkeeper of the candied date shop is no longer here, but a young waiter is here now.
Master Zhenye stopped in front of the door. Officials from the Ministry of Rites had already entered the shop and wanted to buy candied dates for Master Zhenye.
The long street is very quiet.
After a while, a voice rang out, "Not for sale!"
The official from the Ministry of Etiquette frowned and said, "You are a seller of candied dates, and I don't pay you much, so why don't you sell them?!"
The young man looked at the official from the Ministry of Etiquette and said, "We won't sell it, not even to the dogs!"
Just as the official from the Ministry of Rites was about to speak, the young man spat on him and cursed: "You bitch!"
After hearing this, the official of the Ministry of Rites didn't care that there was still spit on his face and wanted to call someone. However, Taoist Zhenye smiled and said: "If you don't want to sell it, forget it. Let's go to the palace. Don't keep His Royal Highness waiting for too long.
.”
After saying this, the real person turned around to get into the carriage.
At this time, the young waiter suddenly rushed out of the candied date shop, stood at the door of the shop, and cursed: "You arrogant Taoist priest, get out of the capital of God quickly!"
As the young waiter spoke, the long street suddenly became silent, and then countless voices rang out.
"Get out of the city of God quickly!"
"This is not the place you should be, get out of here!"
"Get out of the city of God!"
"Aren't you from Liang? Why do you do these things?!"
…
…
The noise became more and more noisy, and the people became angry and rushed forward.
The officials of Tianyuyuan all looked sad.
Taoist Zhenye looked at the young man, said nothing, and just smiled.
Suddenly there was a loud noise.
The candied date shop that had an unknown age suddenly collapsed, and the young waiter's head suddenly exploded, leaving a pool of blood in front of the long street.
Seeing this scene, the official of the Ministry of Rites was stunned, and the people around him were also stunned.
However, Taoist Zhenye just looked at the official of the Ministry of Etiquette in front of him with a smile, and said again: "Sir, let's go, His Royal Highness is waiting impatiently."
Otherwise, the long street was silent.
The eyes of many accompanying officials turned red instantly. They lowered their heads and clenched their fists tightly.
The people seemed to have not yet realized what had happened.
But the headless corpse on the long street seems to be telling the world a truth.
In the eyes of these superior monks, their lives are the same as those of pigs and dogs.
It is worthless.
No one cares about their life or death.
In fact, no, there are people who always care about their life and death, and even care about how they can live a better life.
