Chapter 1233 The Stone Statue of the Hundred-Eyed Taoist Master is inaugurated at the Shouzi Taoist Temple
In fact, Jin An did not send invitations to the princes and princesses. It was not for any special reason, but he simply forgot.
Of course, it can also be said that he doesn't take these worldly princes and princesses seriously at all.
When he faced Emperor Kang Zhao, he came up with the idea of treason, and even the few princes and princesses would not take him seriously.
However, during the trip to Jiangnan, Jin An got to know the third prince and others, and even when faced with uninvited guests, he still welcomed them equally.
Anyone who can come to participate in the opening ceremony of the Five Zang Taoist Temple today is a guest.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."
…
Several eminent monks from Zhenguo Temple clasped their hands together, but the Third Prince and others did not dare to express their gratitude, so they quickly returned humbly and greeted the eminent monks and Jin An one by one.
After Jin An returned the greeting with a smile, he pretended to discover the existence of the Tianshi Mansion and said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Elder Luo Tian? Elder Luo Tian didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. It has not been the last time we met at Gui Mo Mountain.
It will be ten days. It seems that Elder Luo Tian has a destiny with my Five Zang Taoist Temple... Elder Luo Tian, why do you suddenly look so dark? Is it because you didn’t have a good rest last night and your liver is not good?"
Jin An was asking this question knowingly. Elder Luo Tian's face turned even darker and he did not want to talk to Jin An.
The leader of the Tianshi Mansion this time is not Elder Luo Tian, but Old King Ling, who is also an old acquaintance from the Jiangnan trip.
Elder Luo Tian of the Old Ling Dynasty frowned in displeasure: "Luo Tian, Taoist Priest Jin'an is caring and greeting you, but you don't even respond."
Under the pressure of Old King Ling, Elder Luo Tian reluctantly spoke out from his nostrils: "I have met Marquis Shenwu, and Marquis Shenwu's style remains the same."
Elder Luo Tian was implying that Jin An's venomous tongue was no less capable.
Jin An pretended not to hear it and raised his hand: "Old King Ling, it's okay. Since Elder Luo Tian is not feeling well, it is understandable."
This is a typical example of taking advantage and pretending to be generous. It happened to be in response to Elder Luo Tian's words, "The style of Marquis Shenwu is still the same." Elder Luo Tian was so angry that he couldn't speak. People who didn't know it thought that Elder Luo Tian was just in time.
I have aphthous ulcers.
However, if Old King Ling knew that his two sons were beheaded by Jin An, he would definitely be even more angry than Elder Luo Tian and would never laugh again.
Fortunately, Jin'an pursued eradication and acted decisively, leaving no one alive, and his murder of King Xiao Ling never came to light.
The third prince also joined in to smooth things over at the right time: "Hahaha, the 'Friendship of Jin and Luo' is now known to the whole world. Everyone knows that Marquis Shenwu and Elder Luo Tian have a deep friendship."
Then he changed the topic and said with a smile: "My prince still remembers the same Taoist temple with five internal organs and the same grand day when my father-in-law visited the south of the Yangtze River last time. My prince, Old King Ling, and several holy monks and masters from Zhenguo Temple
, attended the opening of the Five Zang Taoist Temple to accept disciples. Not long after that, the same familiar scene reappeared, like a dream. When I came, I joked with Old Prince Ling and asked if I was dreaming and asked Old Prince Ling to screw me.
Try it on the back of your hand."
The old King Ling laughed heartily: "The third prince is approachable and likes the people like a son. How can I, the king, really do this?"
"Prince Lao Ling and Marquis Shenwu are both rare talents in our dynasty, just like the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. I, the prince, have no time to cherish them." The third prince stood in the wind, talking eloquently and behaved gracefully and elegantly.
The third prince said this in public because he wanted to tie the Tianshi Mansion and Wu Zang Taoist Temple to him and show it to the princes in the capital.
The third prince was overly scheming. Today was an important day for the Five Zang Taoist Temple. Jin An saw through it but did not tell him clearly. He did not take the initiative to talk to him, but said in an understatement: "Everyone who comes is an honored guest. Don't stand outside the door all the time. Go to the Taoist Temple first."
Sit down."
Everyone in Tianshi Mansion has the disease of being an official, but it does not mean that they are stupid. Tianshi Mansion can get along well in the capital with partisan disputes. It has its own way of doing things, that is, it is easy not to take sides, and it is better to play both sides. Lao Ling
Wang's approach was the same as Jin An's. He did not take the initiative to answer the third prince's words, but took advantage of the preparations at the bottom of the steps to observe.
However, before entering the Taoist temple, the hundred-eyed Taoist stone statue placed at the entrance of the Taoist temple by Jin An also attracted the attention of experts from the Tianshi Mansion, including Old King Ling.
"Huh? It's such a heavy evil spirit and yin energy." Old King Ling paused slightly.
At this time, Master Xuxing put his hands together and asked Old King Ling: "This is the stone statue of Taoist Master with Hundred Eyes. It was specially placed at the entrance of the Taoist Temple by Taoist Master Jin'an."
King Lao Ling's eyes flickered: "Oh? It sounds like Master Xuxing already knows the origin of this stone statue?"
Master Xu Xing kindly sang "Amitabha, good, good, good", and then recounted Jin'an's original words.
After listening to Master Xuxing's explanation, all the princes and princesses, including King Lao Ling, showed surprised expressions. Even Elder Luo Tian, who had a bad look on his face, couldn't help but take a few more glances at the stone statue at the entrance of the Taoist temple.
"Marquis Shenwu is dedicated to serving the country and the people. He is worthy of the title of Marquis Shenwu given by the Holy Lord. This makes me feel ashamed. Luo Tian, when you return, you will order Feng Shui masters and Onmyoji masters from all over the capital. In the future, if you encounter someone who is looking for a child by divination,
, it’s difficult to solve, you might as well introduce the Five Zang Taoist Temple to try.”
Luo Tian felt extremely unhappy when he saw Jin An. He was gnashing his teeth with hatred in his heart, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be a harmonious "friendship between Jin and Luo, grateful from the bottom of his heart" and bowed his head.
Elder Luo Tian has been holding back his grievances for a long time. He hasn't been able to get angry with Jin An yet, and he doesn't know if he will suffer internal injuries one day.
At this time, even several princes rushed to give similar instructions to their subordinates.
With the support of the three major holy places in the capital and the support of several princes, the reputation of Xunzi Taoist Temple has been completely established this time.
Unexpectedly, a little evil god would be cared for by so many people in the spiritual world and the secular dynasty at the same time. This can be regarded as a historical precedent. The stone statue of the Hundred-Eyed Taoist Lord did not move.
When Jin An led everyone into the Taoist temple and met with Yujing Jinque, who had arrived a step earlier, there was inevitably another polite exchange between the parties.
Suddenly, Jin An's brows lit up with joy, Master Yiyun and Uncle Qi had arrived.
He left the old Taoist priest and his sharp sword to take care of the guests, and went to the door of the Taoist temple to welcome the distinguished guests.
"Does Taoist Master Jin An have anyone else important to wait for?" Uncle Lin noticed the change in Jin An's expression and asked curiously.
Jin An smiled and said: "It is true that there is an old friend whom I haven't seen for a long time, and he happens to be in the capital this time."
The soldiers brought by several princes helped maintain order on Xianghuo Street. The outside of the Taoist temple was in good order. Seeing Jin An come out again, the crowd made a small commotion. They asked when the temple would open, and everyone was allowed to enter the Taoist temple to rush to get the incense.
auspicious.
It took Jin An a while to calm down the mood of the crowd.
Mr. Yiyun, who had come down from the carriage, had been standing in the crowd pretending to be a passerby. Looking at the busy Jin An, his beautiful eyes curved into a crescent shape.
Holding an exquisite gift box in his hand, Qi Bo stood next to Master Yiyun. He looked at his own master and then at Jin An. The old man shook his head. I don't know how much emotion he felt in his heart.
