Ru Nu behaved deferentially and abnormally, and when she parted, she also gave a gift, which was deliberately held in a carved wooden box, which was quite exquisite.

"A small courtesy, not a tribute." Ru Nu said.

Yang Yun said: "I came empty-handed, and the number of door-to-door gifts was not complete, how could I still receive gifts?" ”

Ru Nu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "When the distinguished guests come, they can't ask for it, it's because the slave family doesn't greet them well...... Don't worry, it's not a generous gift, it's filled with tea, Yang Gongzi took it back to taste, if you think it's good, you will personally send it to the door in the future. ”

Yang Yun was no longer polite when he heard this, took the wooden box, took it in his hand, and went out.

When I walked away, when I turned around, I saw Ru Nu leaning on the door, on the beautiful and delicate face full of smiles, revealing a touch of concern, the light green gauze skirt swayed in the wind, and the sunset gave people a demure and beautiful feeling.

……

……

Yang Yun didn't have the heart to taste the tea, so the tea was brought back and put it away.

He has to prepare for the upcoming festival.

In the afternoon, Zuixianlou was still working on the kitchen in the backyard, and Yang Yun checked the things sent by Liu Hengzheng in the front lobby, including a copy of the "Tao Te Ching" annotated by Li Longji himself.

According to Li Longji's idea, the Tang Dynasty should have a copy in hand, but in fact, ordinary people can't afford to buy books at all, and even if they buy them, they can't understand them.

Liu Hengzheng sent the book to Yang Yun to understand Li Longji's understanding of Taoism, and if he asked Yang Yun about Taoism in the future, he would answer calmly.

Seeing that the afterglow of the sun had completely dissipated, Yang Yun closed the Tao Te Ching and was about to go home, when he suddenly heard a noise at the door.

But it was a group of rangers passing by with flags in hand, shouting something along the way, and many people followed behind to join in the fun.

"It's in ...... Parade? ”

Yang Yun walked to the door and took a look, a group of people had gone into the distance.

He Wuliu jumped out of the crowd and came to Yang Yun.

Yang Yun pointed to the group of people in the past and asked, "What are they doing?" ”

He Wuliu said: "Isn't the Holy One going to the Great Void Temple tomorrow to participate in the Taoist Dharma Festival?" Someone called on the people of Luoyang to go to watch the ceremony together. ”

Yang Yun said in surprise: "With Liu Fuyin's intentions, the number of people will be strictly limited tomorrow, how can anyone stand up and call on people to go to this festival?" ”

Because the emperor wanted to attend the festival in Japan, the yamen of Luoyang Prefecture wanted to control the traffic around the Great Sky Temple, and no one was allowed to approach the day in advance, Yang Yun couldn't understand that some people called on people to participate in the meeting.

He Wuliu shook his head: "I don't understand this little one, but it's also possible that they are not from the government......

Yang Yun's heart was full of suspicions.

"Since the earthquake occurred, some people have secretly associated this with the legitimacy of Li Longji's throne, and folk rumors have spread everywhere, this time the restoration of the Dakong Guan Laozi statue is so hasty, does anyone want to take the opportunity to shake Li Longji's throne? And these people who called on the people to come and watch the ceremony also seem to have ulterior motives......"

Seeing a group of people making a fuss out of the workshop, Yang Yun didn't think much about it, he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be mentioned to Liu Hengzheng, with his current status, just take care of himself.

The political struggle has nothing to do with him for the time being.

"As long as the puja comes to Japan and it goes smoothly." Yang Yun said in his heart.

……

……

Early in the morning, Yang Yun packed up his belongings and prepared to go to Dakongguan.

In addition to Yang Yun's attendance, Yarou, An Lun, and Yidan will also follow him and participate in this grand event.

Since Yang Yun was going to the meeting in an independent capacity, he could naturally bring helpers, except for Yaqing, who was too young to participate in a gathering with a too complicated environment, Yang Yun was ready to bring the other three disciples with him in case of emergency.

Yang Yun and his entourage have not yet set off, and Yang Yuhuan came uninvited.

Yang Yuhuan was panting, her cheeks were flushed and her forehead was dripping with sweat because she was running too quickly, and she asked directly after entering the door: "Shiro is going to Dakong Temple?" ”

Yang Yun was a little surprised, and reminded: "The third uncle sent someone to inform him yesterday, saying that my sister was not allowed to go to the Great Void ......."

Yang Yuhuan pursed his lips: "The third uncle and the third aunt won't let me go, but such a lively occasion can't be seen once in a few years, how can I miss it?" Especially if you have the opportunity to meet the Holy One! Shiro, you hurry up and find me a Taoist robe, and I'll go with you. ”

Yang Yun understood what Yang Yuhuan meant, and she was ready to attend the meeting as her assistant.

Because Yang Yun is a Taoist priest specially invited by Yin of Henan Mansion, even if he is not the host, he is very close to the emperor, so that Yang Yuhuan, as an assistant, will also have the opportunity to get close to the emperor and take the opportunity to "discharge" Li Longji.

Yang Yunxin said: "My sister is really scheming...... What should I say to her? ”

Yang Yuhuan saw that Yang Yun's face was embarrassed, he stopped talking, frowned slightly, and asked, "Shiro, you don't want me to go like your uncle, do you?" ”

Yang Yun said with a bitter face: "My sister wants to go, I should help...... It's just that I'm wondering how I can keep my sister from showing a trace......"

Yang Yuhuan glanced at Yang Yun and said, "I have already thought about this, as long as I put on a Taoist robe and follow you, and smear a little black ash on my face, no one will pay attention to me...... I've been learning the Tao for many years, are you still worried that I'll make a fool of you? ”

Yang Yun nodded helplessly: "Okay, sister, you can change into a Taoist robe and hide your peerless appearance a little." Remember not to attract attention today, I only went to the meeting to make up the number of people, and my sister just listened to me in everything. ”

Yang Yuhuan saw that Yang Yun agreed, and hurriedly responded: "Okay, I'll listen to Shiro today, Shiro asked me to go east, and I will never go west." ”

……

……

After cleaning up, Yang Yun and his entourage went to the Great Sky Temple.

However, he can't go directly to the Great Void Temple, before that, he has to go to the meeting point arranged by Liu Hengzheng, today's festival will be held at an auspicious time, that is, near noon, and the government will rehearse the whole process in advance, but the location is not in the Great Empty Temple.

There is still half a mile away from the Great Sky Temple, and you can see that the lights are everywhere, and the collapsed houses on the side of the road have been temporarily repaired, and those that are really not repaired are blocked with cloth curtains, so that the road is spacious and tidy.

Due to the blockade, except for the officers and soldiers to maintain order, there were not a single ordinary people, but at the back gate of Dakongguan, a large number of people gathered.

"Daoist Yang, why did you come so late?"

Liu Hengzheng waited a little impatiently at the meeting point, that is, in the lobby of a teahouse on Qianmen Street in Dakongguan, and when he saw Yang Yun coming, he hurriedly stepped forward.

Liu Hengzheng, as Henan Yin, is not the organizer of the festival, and the only Taoist priest he invited here is Yang Yun, but Liu Hengzheng also brought a lot of followers.

Yang Yun said: "Isn't the festival held until noon? ”

Liu Hengzheng sighed: "If the Holy Lord comes in person, you can't be hasty...... Rehearsals have begun inside, so come with the officer. ”

Yang Yun was still wondering where there was a place to rehearse, and when he followed Liu Hengzheng to the backyard, he saw many people arranging incense cases, and a few people who were not Taoist priests but were wearing Taoist robes who seemed to be scattering yellow talismans there.

"They...... Be? Yang Yun asked puzzled.

Liu Hengzheng said: "Today's festival is the most famous immortal in the world, and the people have not arrived for the time being, so they can only invite people to make a demonstration in advance." ”

Yang Yun thought to himself: "At this time, the host didn't come, let me temporarily take over the position of host and mess around here?" ”

Yang Yun asked, "I wonder which three Daomen seniors are presiding over the Fa today?" ”

"In fact, this official is also hearsay, the three immortals attending today's meeting, including Changchun Zhenren and Dimin Daoist, and the other one is still unknown, and it is rumored that it is Luo Tianshi."

Liu Hengzheng said with longing.

Yang Yun has seen the real person in Changchun, but he is very unfamiliar with the Daoist of Dimin, but the Luo Tianshi mentioned at the end is very familiar, and Yang Yun is expected to be the Taoist Luo Gongyuan, who is as famous as Ye Fashan and Zhang Guo in the world.

Among the three Taoist masters, Zhang Guolao among the eight immortals will not be mentioned, Ye Fashan is the master of the Maoshan Sect of Taoism, who has experienced the five dynasties of Tang Gaozong, Wu Zetian, Tang Zhongzong, Tang Ruizong, and Tang Xuanzong in his life, and has died in the tenth year of Kaiyuan, at the age of one hundred and seven; Luo Gongyuan is said to have been born in the first year of Wude, that is, the year when Tang Gaozu was called the emperor and founded the Tang Dynasty, and he is one hundred and fifteen years old and is one of the most famous Taoist priests at the moment.

Yang Yunxin said: "Changchun Zhenren invited me to be his assistant, wouldn't it be because he knew that Luo Gongyuan was coming, and he was ashamed of himself, so he was looking for a helper, right?" ”

Liu Hengzheng said: "The Luan Driving Club will arrive at noon, and the three immortals will appear at that time, and before that, we must go through all the processes of the Fa Festival, so that there will be no missing in the battle." ”

Yang Yun said: "Then how many Taoist friends are there now?" ”

Liu Hengzheng looked at Yang Yun and said: "This official only invited Yang Daochang alone, in addition, the palace province also sent someone over, but in other places to rehearse, whether this side is well prepared, what magic weapons and materials need to be supplemented, it is up to Yang Daochang to come and decide." ”

As soon as Yang Yun heard it, he knew that Liu Hengzheng was cheating him.

He said that he was asked to assist in the puja, but in fact, the so-called assistance was nothing more than using his knowledge of the monastic path to determine if there were any necessities missing, which was no different from starting a job.

"In this way, the rehearsal is successfully completed, and there is no need to go to the big empty view in the next place?" Yang Yun asked.

Liu Hengzheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Daochang Yang can naturally enter...... Don't you need someone to be there to help you when the puja is going on? ”

Yang Yun understood again now.

The so-called co-ordination is to do a good job as an assistant, which may be handing a magic sword, or throwing a charm or something like that, acting as a tool man.

Yang Yun secretly thought: "This Fa will have me or not, it makes no difference." ”

"Daoist Yang first looks at the objects prepared by the official, are there any gaps?"

Liu Hengzheng saw that Yang Yun was dissatisfied, so he hurriedly brought the list, wanting to complete the inspection before Yang Yun picked the pick.

Yang Yun took a look at the list, which listed a lot of spell casting tools and materials, including charms, peach wood swords, incense candles, banners, and so on.

Although Yang Yun was not from a monastic class, even if he had never eaten pork and had seen a pig run, he also knew what was probably needed at the festival.

"How? Is there anything missing? ”

Liu Hengzheng saw Yang Yun put down the list and asked impatiently.

Yang Yun didn't say anything full, and said: "Daomen practices things, and most of them are similar, but when it comes to different sects and each Daoist, there will be different needs, how can you generalize?" ”

"Huh? That's ...... What's missing? ”

Liu Hengzheng suddenly panicked.

This time Luoyang earthquake, Liu Hengzheng has been under a lot of pressure, the repair of Lao Tzu Taoist statue frustration and make him sit on pins and needles, this festival and the subsequent restoration of the Taoist statue, related to his official position and future, he can not ignore it.

Yang Yun said: "The three people who are presiding over the festival today are all senior masters, and they should pay more attention to the festival and bring their own Dharma weapons...... Those things in the common law may be difficult for them to see. ”

Liu Hengzheng said eagerly: "Master Yang Dao is famous, he has followed Wuzun Zhenren for many years, and his Taoism is profound, so he should know everything about it...... Today's preparations depend on Yang Daochang. ”
