After the prince's hunting team passed, Li Mao rearranged the carriage and horses to set off, and then there were obviously fewer words.

Yang Yun could detect some clues.

With Li Mao's current age, it is impossible for Concubine Wu Hui to conceal her intention to push him to become the crown prince, and she must have said a lot of words in his ear to abolish the prince.

But with Li Mao's weak character, he has no desire to fight, which makes him very tormented in his heart.

On the one hand, his mother's earnest teaching, and on the other hand, brotherhood, made it difficult for him to choose.

It will not be easy to depose the crown prince, which will mean that he must change his casual and peaceful, virtuous and deferential character, and show a strong and brave side that can dominate the world...... Turning sheep into jackals, tigers and leopards is a real act against the will.

Along the official road on the south bank of Luoshui, the team went all the way forward.

There are no high mountains on both sides of the river, the forests are basically cut down, farms and courtyards can be seen everywhere, and the surrounding area of Luoyang is the place where the wealthy families buy their fields, and the number of official houses along the way is not a few.

Yang Yuhuan was very interested, but at this time, Li Mao was so worried that he had no intention of talking, so he simply took the initiative to ask: "Your Highness, is there anything interesting here in the east of the city?" ”

Li Mao came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly: "There are many famous places in the east of Luoyang City, the most famous is the White Horse Temple...... However, the White Horse Temple is a little farther away, we are going to Wan'an Temple, and we have been waiting for Princess Xianyi for a long time...... Ah, we're almost there. ”

……

……

After driving more than ten miles out of the city, the car finally arrived at its destination.

Wan'an Temple is a royal Taoist temple, not a place for civilians to pray for blessings, built on the bank of Luoshui, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Luoshui, but in early spring, there are not many boats on the water, and the environment is relatively cold.

Outside the Wan'an Temple, there is a little Taoist priest cleaning.

After going up more than 100 steps, I arrived at the main gate of the Taoist temple, and a golden plaque with the name of the Taoist temple was hung on the lintel, and more than ten guards were guarding here, obviously the people brought by Princess Xianyi.

"Do you want to go in for His Highness?"

The commander of the guards came over to salute Li Mao, then looked at Yang Yun and Yang Yuhuan, and hesitated to ask for instructions.

According to his thoughts, since Li Mao brought outsiders here, he should go first to make an announcement to avoid mistakes.

Li Mao waved his hand casually and said, "Daochang Yang and Miss Yang, Xianyi has known each other for a long time, and this time I brought Daochang Yang to meet the real person...... I'll just bring them into the view myself. ”

Li Mao called herself a "real person", and behaved very casually, it stands to reason that only relatives can be so cordial, Yang Yun thought to himself: "Could it be Princess Yuzhen?" ”

Yang Yun didn't ask much, and together with Yang Yuhuan, he followed Li Mao into the Wan'an Temple.

Facing the gate is a three-storey pavilion, there is a small Taoist priest to guide the way, a line into the inside, and there are female officials on duty, see Li Mao all respectfully saluted, but always remained silent, for fear of disturbing the tranquility of the wooden building.

There are no stairs to go up this floor, and there are suspended wooden ladders up and down.

When he arrived at the wooden ladder, Li Mao pointed upstairs and whispered to Yang Yun: "Today, I want to see Daoist Yang is also a cultivator, she has an easy-going personality, you don't have to be restrained...... Miss Yang, I'll help you up. ”

Yang Yuhuan looked up at the straight wooden ladder, a little hesitant, obviously it was a little indecent to let a big girl in a skirt climb the wooden ladder, the wooden ladder went straight up and down, and she was afraid of falling down from it.

"Why don't Your Highness go up first and help the little girl?" Yang Yuhuan asked with a wink.

suddenly used the charm technique without a clue, Li Mao was fascinated, nodded honestly, climbed the stairs first, and then Yang Yuhuan also went up the stairs, after Yang Yun fell, in this way, if there is any deviation, there are also people to support the bottom.

Finally, with the help of Li Mao, Yang Yuhuan went up to the second floor, and Yang Yun climbed up.

……

……

On the second floor of the auditorium, there are many bookshelves displaying various scriptures, and the white paper windows are closed, and the light is dim, and walking on them in the middle of the day is like walking in a labyrinth.

"Is Xianyi there?"

Li Mao didn't know the specific location of Princess Xianyi, so she shouted.

After a while, I heard a woman's voice from one side: "Is Eighteen Lang here?" ”

With the heaviness of a middle-aged woman, not as crisp and pleasant as Princess Xianyi, and then appeared a demure Taoist aunt, about thirty years old, wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a cyan crown and hat, generous and decent.

Yang Yunguan Dao Gu has a good face, not as graceful and luxurious as the noble ladies of this era, very thin, it seems that the usual meals are very simple, and meat is rare.

can call Shouwang "Eighteen Lang", obviously Li Mao's elders.

"Imperial Aunt."

Li Mao was very happy to see Aunt Dao, smiled and stepped forward, and did not salute, just like seeing a coquettish child from her dear.

"Look who I brought to you? This is Yang Daochang, a real disciple of Wuzun, who successfully repaired the Taoist statue in the Great Void Temple, and was praised as the Little Heavenly Master by his father. ”

"Hmm."

Dao Gu nodded, her eyes fell on Yang Yun, and she looked carefully.

Yang Yun went over and saluted: "Junior Yang Yun, I have seen a supreme real person." ”

Princess Yuzhen's legal name is the supreme real person, nominally she succeeded Princess Jinxian as the host of the Kaiyuan Temple in Luoyang, but in fact, as long as it is a royal Taoist temple, she can go casually, and she is also the owner of this kind of Taoist temple.

"I have heard about you a long time ago, and it is the supreme good deed of cultivating the path to be able to stand up for the Holy One, dispel the anger of the world, and apply what you have learned to the right path...... It seems that your teacher is also a master in the world. ”

Princess Yuzhen had a modest attitude, and she praised Yang Yun a lot in her words.

"Real people are promoted, and the younger generations dare not be ashamed." Yang Yun said respectfully.

"Who is she?"

Princess Yuzhen turned her head, then lowered her face and looked at the charming Yang Yuhuan with a vigilant gaze.

"She is the elder sister of Daoist Yang, and she is also a cultivator."

Li Mao smiled and introduced.

Yang Yuhuan hired Ting Shili: "The younger Qinglian has seen a real person." ”

"Qinglian? Under whom do you worship? ”

Princess Yuzhen's gaze at Yang Yuhuan was not friendly, but very vigilant.

Yang Yuhuan's beauty is too aggressive and thrilling, and ordinary men can't resist it at all, which is really a big enemy for Daomen who pay attention to mind cultivation.

Yang Yuhuan didn't know what to do, and replied honestly: "The family teacher is Hui Xian, and he has been teaching the law in Luoyang for many years. ”

Princess Yuzhen obviously hadn't heard of Hui Xian's Dao number, and Li Mao next to her introduced with a smile: "Miss Yang and Daoist Yang are not from the same family, she worships a female cultivator, and usually doesn't ask about spells and talismans." ”

"Once you have entered the Tao, you should take it as your responsibility to educate the world and quell the evils, not to be happy with things, not to be sad about yourself, and not to indulge in the splendor of the world."

Princess Yuzhen looked at Yang Yuhuan's clothes, she couldn't attack the appearance of a person, so she taught Yang Yuhuan that her clothes were too gorgeous, which did not conform to the humble and introverted style of a cultivator.

Yang Yuhuan lowered his head and pretended to be taught.

Li Mao explained for Yang Yuhuan: "Miss Yang was invited to her nephew as a guest, but she didn't expect to go out of the city to play, let alone come to the Taoist temple, so she dressed a little grandly, why be too restrained? ”

Princess Yuzhen glanced at her nephew, probably knowing from Princess Xianyi that he liked Yang Yuhuan, and waved her hand and said: "Xianyi also talked about you earlier, Kaiyuanguan has not been arranged until now, she is drinking tea inside, you come with me." ”

……

……

After Princess Yuzhen talked about a large passage, she led the way in front and led a few people to the elegant room on the same floor.

It is said to be a private room, but it is a compartment by the window, with a table and a mat, a candle like a bean on the table, and a scripture scroll, which should be the place where Princess Yuzhen meditates and understands the Tao on weekdays.

Princess Xianyi sat there like a wooden man, even if Li Mao and his party came over, she didn't look up, as if she was enlightened, but it was more like she was dozing off with her eyes closed.

"Xianyi, why don't you go out to greet me when I come?"

Li Mao saw that Princess Xianyi was there, so she asked when she entered the elegant room.

Princess Xianyi remained silent.

Princess Yuzhen looked serious: "Don't disturb her, she is enlightening, if she is distracted, won't she fall short?" ”

While speaking, Princess Yuzhen walked to the bookshelf to the side to get the book, Princess Xianyi listened to the footsteps and walked a little farther, playfully opened her eyes, made a grimace at Li Mao and Yang Yun who were seated, closed her eyes before Princess Yuzhen turned back, and sat upright.

Where is enlightenment?

It was clearly under the persecution of the elders that he coped with the matter.

Enlightenment is sparse and ordinary in the eyes of Princess Yuzhen, she can comprehend the Tao through meditation, but for people who have never worshiped the Tao, enlightenment is to close their eyes, wander outside the world, and they haven't even read a few volumes of the Tao Sutra, what mystery can they comprehend?

Princess Yuzhen took two volumes of Taoist scriptures, walked in front of the table, knelt down, and said, "Since you are here, read the two volumes of Taoist texts first, and together you will understand the mysteries of monasticism." ”

When Li Mao heard this, he retreated: "Imperial Aunt, you also know that I have been stupid since I was a child, and I don't know anything about Taoist classics, so it is impossible to read a few volumes of Taoist classics like you to make progress...... is still Xianyi smart, even her father said that she was as smart and clever as the imperial aunt when you were young. ”

"Read!"

Princess Yuzhen said with a straight face, Li Mao could only honestly pick up the scriptures, open them and read them.

Then Princess Yuzhen handed the scriptures to Yang Yun and Yang Yuhuan respectively, which meant that as long as they came, they would be treated equally, and no one could be exempted.

Yang Yun took the scroll handed over by Princess Yuzhen, which was "Gengsangzi" written by Gengsang Chu, a Taoist celebrity in the Warring States Period, and this book was also the later Taoist classic "Dongling Zhenjing", the whole book has three volumes, and this one in Yang Yun's hand is the first volume.

The scroll is a manuscript, although the engraving printing technology of this era is circulated within a certain range, but whether it is the royal family or the wealthy family are self-cherished, the classics are mostly copied and transmitted by the related households, the quality of the paper is not good, the handwriting is mottled, and many words can not be distinguished because of the age.

Reading this kind of obscure book that doesn't even have punctuation is not easy for Yang Yun.

He had only flipped through the two pages, and when he felt that his head was incomparably big, Princess Xianyi suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Imperial Aunt, I have already understood." ”

Princess Yuzhen had already picked up the scroll to read, frowned when she heard the words, and looked at Princess Xianyi: "What have you realized?" ”

"Well...... this"

Princess Xianyi was stunned for a moment, then closed her eyes, pinched her fingers as if she were looking, but her mouth was silent...... She thought that she would be let go if she said that she had an understanding, but who knew that this teacher was very serious, and she had to let her say that she was ugly.

Yang Yun took a look, Princess Xianyi read the same Taoist scripture as him, it was also "Kang Sangzi", but it was another volume.

The whole book of "Kang Sangzi" adheres to the Taoist tenet of Lao Tzu, and is divided into nine articles: "The Whole Dao", "The Dao of Use", "The Tao of Politics", "The Way of the Monarch", "The Way of the Ministers", "The Way of the Virtuous", "The Way of Training", "The Way of Agriculture" and "The Way of the Soldiers", which demonstrates in detail the concept of Taoism and the concept of self-cultivation and the whole god, and extends the way of governing the family and the country with the concept of Lao Tzu.

It is too difficult for a fifteen-year-old girl to understand the truth.
