Although Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is a large capital where powerful people gather, the young king's honor guard travel is still very eye-catching. When the special car travels to the Luoshui coastal area, the water and land are combined, there are many pedestrians, and the bustling noise is several times that of the letter fulfillment workshop in the southeast.

Li Tong has always been interested in the world of Luoyang, but he has been under surveillance threats since he left the palace.

The same is true today, when the procession crosses the Xinzhong Bridge, it attracts people from the left and right to stop and watch. In the past, Li Tong inevitably had to lift the curtain to enjoy the scenery along the way, but this time it was inconvenient to lift the curtain and ordered to speed up.

If it is just a royal palace, it is not good to drive pedestrians wantonly on the lively side streets. However, the guide in front was Fu Youyi and a group of Hegong County officials, so they had a lot less scruples, and dutifully drove pedestrians in front, so that the car could pass smoothly.

When the team arrived at the horizontal street outside the Linfang in Luobei, there were more than a dozen monks riding horses, all of them were strong and mighty, with shiny brains, and there was no kind eyebrow and kind eyes that Shamen disciples should have.

Among this group of monks, a young man dressed in worldly clothes who is more eye-catching is Feng Changsi. He went to Wei Guo Temple first to inform and led a group of monks back to greet him.

Bombing the street with a group of monks, Feng Changsi felt very awkward, and when he saw the young king's chariot, he rode his horse to the front first, approached the carriage and reported: "The monks in the temple know that the king is coming, and they are arranging to greet him." ”

Li Tong lifted the corner of the car curtain, poked his head out and bowed slightly to Feng Changsi: "It's hard work." ”

Although those monks were vicious all the way, when they joined up with the Yijia, they also became deferential, and they did not swagger too much, but only accompanied them.

The reason why they are like this is naturally not because of Li Tong's face, but because they are Xue Huaiyi's pony boys, and they have to be summoned by Feng Changsi, Xue Huaiyi's own nephew, otherwise I am afraid that even those martial artists will not dare to call them around.

With these dozen monks opening the way, the procession moved more smoothly. Fu Youyi and the officials of Hegong County, who were in the team, were also in high spirits and were very energetic.

The city of Shendu is bounded by Luoshui, Luoyang County to the north, and Henan to the south, which is now Hegong County. The two counties are also the Chi County of Jinaichi, and the daily affairs of their respective counties are inevitably frictional and disputed, and the relationship is really not good.

Fu Youyi was able to follow the young king to Weiguo Temple, in addition to the excitement, he was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, and when he passed through Hegong County on the way, he even deliberately sent someone to send a group of officials, for fear of being blocked in Luoyang County.

It is true that when the team continued to move forward and bypassed Shanglinfang, the officials of Luoyang County heard the news and looked very aggressive, but when they saw the dozen shiny brains of the horse escort in the team, they couldn't help but be a little confused, and they didn't dare to step forward to stop the provocation.

The most refreshing thing in life is to swagger through the market in front of the old enemy and the other party is helpless, so these Hegong County officials are also very happy to blow up the streets one by one, and they inevitably flatter Master Fu is really broad, with hands and eyes, and can rely on nobles. It is fortunate to be arrogant on the territory of Luoyang County, this is a majesty that their county commanders and governors do not have!

Hearing the praise of his subordinates, Fu Youyi was also very complacent, and at the same time he was full of expectations for the trip to Weiguo Temple.

After the development of things did not live up to Fu Youyi's expectations, Wei Guosi was also very enthusiastic about the arrival of the young king, in addition to sending monks to greet him, there were several monks who knew the guest standing outside the workshop waiting for guidance.

Li Tong walked to the door of the square to get off the car, raised his eyes and looked up is also a great sigh of the grandeur of the Wei State Temple, the temple gate is straight to the Cao Canal in front of the Fang, the Cao Canal is connected to the Grand Canal, it is inevitable that the boats come and go, but so far they have to stop the sound of the oars, can only rely on the shore of the slender man to drag forward, it is obviously a prosperous section of the boat transport, but it is quiet and not noisy at all.

The scale of this temple is also very large, even the temple wall directly acts as the fang wall, the stone carving fence has many lions and beasts that protect the law, the outer wall of the tall temple wall is exquisite floating tutu painting, each end of the gate stands a golden statue of the protector, the door steps are as high as dozens of floors, standing outside the square street can not even see the flat land in the temple.

"The little monk Faguang, Xi is a guest in the temple, and the king is here to worship the Buddha today, and he is here to stand and wait."

The monk was wearing a cyan robe, he should be in his thirties, and he smiled a little bit of a fat head and a big face, and he looked very kind, at least much kinder than the monks raised by Xue Huaiyi.

Li Tong raised his arms and saluted, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang is here, worshipping the Buddha, and the messenger before the Buddha travels to greet him, which is really frightened." ”

"The king is not a layman, and it is appropriate to treat each other with courtesy. Needless to say, Master Xue Miao knotted the former friendship with the world, only before the king's talent and charity, expanding the Buddhist songs, so that the Dharma is more popular, if the monks do not treat each other with courtesy, it is to lose the sincerity of the Fa. ”

The monk Faguang raised his arm and stepped forward, and arranged for the novice behind him to lead the young king to enter the temple through the side door.

These monks were so polite to Li Tong, not purely because of Xue Huaiyi, but also because of the Buddhist song that Li Tong helped compile. The Great Cloud Sutra Yishu, which created momentum for the Wuzhou Revolution, was compiled in the Wei State Temple.

To be honest, Li Tong really doesn't have a good impression of these monks. It's not that we don't respect the Dharma, it's just that any doctrine and theory, as long as it is propagated by the population, there is nothing pure and unblemished.

Previously, Xue Huaiyi sang and danced to offer the scriptures, which was picked up by the group of monks in Weiguo Temple. This makes Li Tong feel that these monks are a little inauthentic, you lick yours, I lick mine, everyone's well water does not violate the river water, you can't be imaginative, just come to me to change the script and steal the scene, change it, and change it in a mess.

Climb the stairs and enter the main entrance of the temple, Li Tong is more imposing that this Buddhist temple is really magnificent, the wide square paved with bluestone is neatly arranged with many copper and iron sculptures, the corridor is horizontally connected with many heavy top pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and bucket arches, the building is clearly layered, and it is dizzying.

Even in the forbidden area, except for the main palace area, it is rare to see such a colorful, gorgeous and magnificent architectural group.

When Li Tong walked into the vestibule of the Buddha hall, a group of more than ten monks wearing various monk robes came forward, each making introductions, with many names, Li Tong couldn't remember it at all, just smiled and responded.

Through the introduction of the monk who knew the guest, Li Tong also understood that the main people present at the moment were the monks and officials in the temple, who were relatively secular and relatively worldly. As for those mages, they were all concentrated in the inner Buddhist hall and nervously compiling that part of the Great Cloud Sutra, and they had no time to handle these mundane plans to usher in.

Li Tong is not very interested in those mages, a group of gossips to confuse the public, subvert my Li family's country, although I also lick it, but I am still a left-handed thief with the right hand, in the future, feng shui will take turns, sooner or later I will pull a list for you!

In my heart, I still have to get by on face, how can I not worship Buddha when I enter the temple. In addition to worshipping the Maitreya Buddha enshrined in the main hall, Li Tong also worshiped the Empress Dowager Zhou Zhongxiao enshrined in the inner hall more solemnly under the guidance of the monks, that is, his grandmother's mother, Mrs. Rongguo, Yang.

After some groveling, Li Tong felt that he should receive a little benefit. It must be known that when he came to Weiguo Temple this time, he lost not only his dignity, but also the real loss of goods, and he sold more than 100,000 yuan of goods, Li Tong himself was very distressed, and as a result, these monks did not roll their eyelids.

The reason why he brought Liu Youqiu and other officials to come with him was for this, after all, he was a little unfamiliar with the affairs of monks and Taoists, and he was afraid that he would not be able to ask for any benefits, so he still asked his subordinates to come forward to negotiate.

As for Li Tong himself, he returned to the courtyard arranged for him under the guidance of the monk Zhike.

On the way, there is no lack of showmanship, saying that it is fortunate that the king is not choosing a Buddhist day to worship the temple today, so the temple can be calmly arranged. If it is on the Buddha's birthday, Obon and the like, there are not too many houses in the temple to arrange to live in, so that many dignitaries and nobles cannot live in the temple, and can only borrow houses in the surrounding houses.

When Li Tong heard this, his heart moved, and then asked: "Shamen Resort, solemn and solemn, makes people dare not be polite and slack. What are the beautiful garden villas outside the temple for people to enjoy and enjoy? ”

Probably answering such questions is not a few, the monk also opened his mouth and introduced it with a smile, and quickly talked about the aspects that Li Tong was interested in: "There is a garden in the northeast of the square with a width of more than 20 acres, many rare flowers and trees, which is the other business of the general of the South Yaqiu, in fact, it was the former residence of Luoyang Ling Gong Heiming, and later"

Hearing this question, Li Tong couldn't help but pat his head, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart that it was really no coincidence, he was still thinking about how to introduce Qiu Shenyun into the turmoil of Xu Jingzhen's false accusation case later, and related it to the Gong family who was about to be unlucky, but he didn't expect that they had already had dealings with each other.

This is actually very normal, Qiu Shenyun is in charge of the defense of the city of Shendu, and the Gong brothers are mostly officials in Luozhou, and it is inevitable that the exchanges between each other on official business will then extend to private friendships, if there is no relationship at all, it is unlikely.

After learning an important piece of information so simply, Li Tong couldn't help but feel the importance of the channel. The facts are there, it's up to you to find out. If this piece of information can play a big role in the future, the money paid to Wei Guosi today will be worth it.

Arriving at the courtyard arranged in the temple, the soldiers and the servants of the palace had already settled down. Li Tong summoned Zheng Jin to ask, and learned that Tang Lingshu's little lady had slipped out while the eyes and ears in the temple were relaxed, just waiting to get the temple registration of Weiguo Temple later, and just find an opportunity to turn around.

The young king is romantic, it is not a big deal to take in a few beautiful women with innocent backgrounds, the widow is sick, the widow is lustful, what can you do?

After this matter was arranged, Li Tong called Tian Dasheng again and instructed him to find some convenient path from the temple, and quickly contact and arrange for someone near the left to make small moves.

Originally, he also planned to come forward to show off the market by himself to attract eyes and ears, but now that he knows that the Qiu family's other business is originally related to the Gong family, he can even save himself from coming forward, and he can even clear up his relationship.

Qiu Shenxian, this guy has blocked his door for so long, and finally found a chance to return the color! I'm so blocked that I don't dare to go out, my son is very happy to raise a little wife outside, and I can't kill you!
