From the second year of Emperor Wen of Sui (582), under the auspices of Yu Wenkai, the palace city and the imperial city were built in only 9 months. Three years after the opening of the emperor, the Great Sui moved the capital here, because Emperor Wen of Sui was named "Daxing Gong" in his early years, so he named this city after "Daxing City", which was the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty later.

From the new construction in 582 to the Tang Dynasty in 904, Han Jian rebuilt the city, Daxing City has experienced more than 300 years of ups and downs, and the glory of the empire, the tragedy of the prosperous times, and the love of children are staged in this place in turn.

At this moment, Xiao Yu, Han Liyan and Qinghua Daoren were standing on Suzaku Street in Daxing City.

Han Liyan and Qinghua Daoren did not follow everyone into the city, but chose to accompany Xiao Yu, who had just come to Daxing City, which moved Xiao Yu.

At this time, although the outer wall of Daxing City has not yet been built, the main buildings such as the palace city, the imperial city, the palace, the government office, the residence, the two cities, and the temple have been completed. Xiao Yu looked around as he walked along Suzaku Street, Xiangping City and Pyongyang City that he had been to had already shocked him, and now it seemed that he was really a country boy who had never seen the world.

Daxingcheng and Xiangping and Pyongyang are not on the same level at all, Xiao Yu thought secretly.

Walking on Suzaku Street, a domineering spirit that is proud of the sky between the cities faintly came, and the winter seemed to be shocked by this majestic atmosphere, and only dared to shoot a trace of light, lest it disturb the Son of Heaven who lived in the Daxing Palace.

At this moment, it is noon, and looking north along the street, the terrain gradually rises and seems to reach the sky. The alleys around the street are lined up one after another, in an orderly manner, people come and go on the street, the traffic is busy, and the soldiers patrolling the street pass by from time to time, and there are many. The alleys are neatly aligned, and the avenues are straight and smooth, reflecting the domineering spirit of the capital everywhere.

This is Daxing City, the capital of the Great Sui. Only then did Xiao Yu know what majesty was and what the place where the Son of Heaven stayed.

Han Liyan and the Qinghua Dao people were very honored when they saw Xiao Yu's appearance, and walked in front of them with their heads held high to open the way for Xiao Yu.

The three of them watched while walking, and after walking for about half an hour, Xiao Yu stopped at the door of a lifang.

The Qinghua Taoist looked at it and saw a monk wearing a robe standing not far from the main entrance of the village. The monk recited the six-character mantra in his mouth, folded his hands, raised them above his head, and took a step forward. After taking three steps like this, the monk moved his hands from the top of his head to his chest and then from his chest, bowed his whole body to the ground, and tapped his forehead lightly on the ground, and walked into the inner square step by step.

Xiao Yu, a monk who is even more devout than this, has also seen it, and the strange thing is that this monk has a dark complexion and deep-set eyes, and he is obviously not from the Central Plains.

Qinghua Taoist saw that Xiao Yu was interested and hurriedly explained, "This is a Tianzhu person, he should have come to Dasui to promote Buddhism, and the place he entered was Jingshanfang, which was Daxingshan Temple." ”

Xiao Yu heard the words and saw that sure enough, there were good men and women coming in and out of the gate of Jingshanfang, and he could hear the ringing of bells and the chanting of monks from time to time.

Daxingshan Temple is the royal temple of the Great Sui, and its fame is even known to Xiao Yu, who grew up in Liaodong County. Although Xiao Yu is not very interested in Buddhism, such a famous temple is in front of his eyes, and it is really unreasonable not to go to see it.

Xiao Yu was just about to take a step when he heard the Qinghua Taoist busy behind him, "Brother Xiao is not in a hurry, this temple will not run away, it will be too late to see it at any time, I can't wait for the poor Dao, I will go back to see the master first, you guys hurry up and follow!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yu and Han Liyan to reply, the Qinghua Daoist ran towards a lane opposite Jingshan Fang, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"This stinky Taoist priest is really unreasonable, he left us and ran away by himself." Han Liyan said angrily.

"Don't worry, don't worry," Xiao Yu has been in a good mood since he entered Daxing City, "Qinghua Daoist is right, are you still afraid that the temple will run away?" Well, let's follow Qinghua Dao first. ”

Xiao Yu looked up at the Li Fang opposite Jingshan Fang, and there was a large plaque standing in the center of the Li Fang gate, on which were written a few big characters - Chongye Fang.

Han Liyan has somehow been much more well-behaved since the pirate incident, and she didn't speak at the moment, just a few steps behind Xiao Yu and turned into Chongye Fang.

As soon as you walk into Chongye Fang, the surroundings suddenly open up.

Simple, majestic and without losing the sacredness of the Taoist temple gate inner hall pavilions overlapped, one by one Taoist priests dressed up neatly, the cold wind from time to time brings a burst of fragrance, very a bit of the feeling of holy land, in this symbol of the imperial power under the city, it is rare to have such a place.

At this time, the Qinghua Taoist was standing at the door of the Taoist temple and waved desperately at the two of them.

"Hurry up, hurry up, oops, forget it, I can't wait, I'll go see Master first." After Qinghua Daoist finished speaking, he disappeared again.

"Oh, this person is really, can't you wait for us?" Han Liyan's anger grew.

Although she has lived in Daxing City for more than ten years, Han Liyan doesn't seem to have been here a few times, and at this time, she is honestly standing on Xiao Yu's side and looking east and west with great interest.

"Don't be surprised by the two donors, my uncle is this kind of character," a Taoist priest standing at the door greeted him, "Poor Dao Dao Listen to the moon, Uncle Shi has already ordered just now, please come with Poor Dao." After saying that, he stretched out his hand.

Han Liyan suddenly said, "It turns out that the Qinghua Daoist actually cultivated here, I have lived here for more than ten years, why have I never heard of your uncle's name?" ”

Listening to the Yue Dao people, they smiled, "It's normal that the donor hasn't heard of it, Uncle Qinghua has been out since he was a teenager, and he hasn't come back for three or four years, and Poor Dao almost didn't recognize him just now." ”

Han Liyan smiled evilly, "You are a senior uncle, I didn't expect the seniority of Qinghua Daoist people to be so high in this Xuandu Temple." ”

Listening to the Yue Dao, the people didn't care, "Uncle Shi is the favorite disciple of Master Zu, how dare you compare this little bit of poor Dao with Uncle Shi?" ”

Han Liyan's eccentric temperament returned to its original state, and she was just about to say something when Xiao Yu pulled her sleeve, but she was silent, but she didn't know what she was muttering.

Walk into the gate of the Taoist temple, the trees are gradually increasing, look carefully at the peach trees, although it is the cold winter season, the peach blossoms have long withered, but the burst of fragrance is more intense, making people feel refreshed.

"The peach blossoms in my Xuandu view are a scene in Daxing City, and there is an endless stream of donors who come here every year. It's a pity that now is not the season, otherwise the two donors will be able to enjoy the peerless beauty of thousands of flowers blooming and fragrant. Listening to the moon Daoren's face was full of pride.

After entering the gate, after walking for a short time, I turned into the middle of the main road.

Xuandu Temple sits in the north and faces south, and has a three-way building layout. The middle road extends along the avenue to the Sanqing Palace, which enshrines the ancestors of the Sanqing Dao, the Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Lingbao Tianzun, etc., and on both sides of the road are the palaces such as the Wenchang Palace, the Medicine King Palace, the God of Wealth Palace, the Jade Emperor Palace, and the Niangniang Palace. The palace is resplendent and dotted with white clouds, which is an excellent picture.

Listening to the Moon Daoist, the two of them were led to the middle of the road, "Two donors, this is my Xuandu Temple, and the two of you can visit at will." Uncle Shi said that he would come to look for the two of them when he was done, and Poor Dao still had something to do, so he couldn't accompany the two. After speaking, he saluted the two, and Xiao Yu and Han Liyan hurriedly returned the salute.

After listening to the Yue Dao people walking away, Han Liyan couldn't wait to say, "My God, I've lived in Daxing for so long, and I don't even know that there is such a piece of feng shui treasure, it's really a sin, a sin." ”

Xiao Yu was in a good mood, although he had not officially converted to Taoism, he was full of affection for Taoism since he was a child, and immediately put his hands behind his back and listened to Han Liyan chattering on the side, pacing around.

At this time, in a secret room somewhere in Daxing City.

There was a person kneeling at the bottom of the place, his head bowed deeply, looking very nervous, and he knelt quietly on the ground and didn't dare to take a breath.

There was a man sitting at the top, but he didn't speak.

There were only two people in the secret room, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

Finally, the man above spoke.

"Are you serious?"

Listening to the voice, the top one turned out to be an old woman!

The person kneeling at the bottom of the head shuddered and slowly raised his head. The sunlight outside the window shone on his slender face, and his fair face was covered with sweat.

Han Yi! The person kneeling next turned out to be Han Liyan's father, Han Yi!

"What the subordinates say is true, if half of the sentence is false, they are willing to be punished!" Han Yi replied with a slight tremble.

"Hehe, interesting, interesting, it seems that it's not just us, have those dwarves noticed it too? Good, good. ”

The old woman's words were full of murderous intent, and Han Yi knelt down with his head sweating like rain.

......

It took Xiao Yu and Han Liyan almost an hour to barely finish the Xuandu Temple. After a simple vegetarian meal, the two were taken to a secluded place by the Moon Listening Daoist. There, the Qinghua Taoist was leisurely sipping tea.

"Phew, phew, bah, there are too many tea leaves, and they are all stuffed between my teeth, I bah." Qinghua Taoist held the teacup in one hand, and the fingers of the other hand reached into his mouth and searched continuously.

"Stinky Daoist, you are also an elder, so you can't be more dignified in front of your juniors?" Han Liyan said angrily.

You still know that this is my junior, so you still keep screaming "stinky Taoist" and "stinky Taoist"? The Qinghua Daoist flipped his white teeth at Han Liyan and waved his hand at the Moon Listening Daoist.

Listening to the Moon Dao, the people retreated with interest.

"Hey, stinky Taoist, your face is so big, can you find a way to beat my legs for the eldest lady? Brother Xiao who just accompanied us for nearly an hour. Han Liyan looked at Xiao Yu with an aggrieved face.

Xiao Yu twisted his head, as if he hadn't seen it.

"Hahahaha," Qinghua Daoist finished removing the tea residue from his mouth, "Okay, don't mess with my eldest lady." My master wants to meet you, and this is coming soon. ”

"Your master?!" Xiao Yu and Han Liyan were stunned at the same time.

"Xu Tianshi?" Han Liyan blurted out.

"Yes, my master is the famous Xu Tianshi, how about it, it's amazing, hahaha."

"You're so big, tell me quickly, why did your master see us, this is Xu Tianshi." Han Liyan actually went directly to twist the ears of the Qinghua Daoist, "No wonder you left us and ran away first, in order to speak ill of us in front of your master in advance!" ”

Xu Tianshi, known as the Emperor, is one of the most famous Taoist masters of the Great Sui.

"Oh, oh, this is the holy land of Daomen, how can I let you go wild, let me go!"

"Hehe, I'll pull your ears off in this Gate Holy Land and see if your Sanqing Dao Ancestor will help you." Han Liyan exerted another force.

"Ah, Miss Han, I was wrong, the master is coming over, hurry up, let go." The people of Qinghua begged for mercy again and again.

Xiao Yu sat on the side and watched the two fight.

Of course, I have heard of Xu Tianshi's name, but I heard that Xu Tianshi is very old, and he can't see outsiders in his leisure, why do he suddenly want to see himself, is it himself, or Han Liyan?

Xiao Yu looked at Han Liyan, who had stopped but was still laughing at the Qinghua Daoist, and was shocked in his heart.

When the two of them felt tired and stopped, and a cup of tea had not yet cooled, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

The Qinghua Daoist hurriedly rushed to the door, "Disciple greets the master." ”

"Okay, get up, you and I don't need these false courtesies."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the room was gently pushed.

Xiao Yu and Han Liyan stood up and held their breath.

at the doorway.

A white-eyed veteran dressed in white and with blue eyes and square eyes walked in gently.
