All Taoist priests, who is not willing to go to the Taoist Division of the capital to be an official who presides over the sacrifice? If the ancestral tomb is smoking, he is named a real person by the emperor, and he is also a great official of the second grade, not only rich and noble during his lifetime, but also able to leave his name after death and become a famous man for a generation.

Daoist Yunlong also has such a dream. It's a pity that there has been no nobles to support, not to mention the Daolu Division who went to the capital, and even the Daohui Division of the county town has not been able to enter, so he can only nest in the Balcony Palace as a Taoist chief.

When he heard the two of them report to their home, he immediately realized that his fate had come, and said that it was fake if he was not excited and excited. But he also knows that there is only one opportunity, and if he can't grasp it, he won't want to leave the Balcony Palace in this life. A master who has attained the Tao, how can he see a big man and be full of ugliness, so he relies on his long practice and full of concentration, and he just suppresses this excitement and excitement. Even though his heart throbbed, his face always maintained an indifferent expression.

When the group came to the mountain gate, Guo Xun glanced at the flat forehead on the main gate by the firelight, and muttered: "Balcony Palace? He asked: "Other Taoist temples are called Guan, why is your Taoist Temple called Gong?" ”

Yunlong Dao said: "The Balcony Palace was built in the twelfth year of Tang Kaiyuan, and it was ordered by Xuanzong to build a temple on a site in Wangwu Mountain. Bai Yunzi came here to take a look, and saw that this place is north of the Temple of Heaven Mountain, standing high, resembling a phoenix's head. On the opposite side is the open Jiuzhiling, like a phoenix's tail. And this place is just on the back of the phoenix, it is a feng shui treasure of Danfeng Chaoyang, so the Taoist temple was built here. After eleven years, the Taoist temple was finally completed, and it was named the balcony view. ”

Wang Shouren is proficient in Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and his knowledge is needless to say. Although Guo Xun is a military general, he was born in a famous family, and he usually likes to publish and engrave anthologies, and he writes a good seal book, and his knowledge is also not shallow.

The two of them knew that the so-called Bai Yunzi was Sima Chengzhen, who was the first generation of grandmasters of the sect, and was known as the Ten Friends of the Immortal Sect together with Li Bai, Meng Haoran, Wang Wei, He Zhizhang, etc. I heard that the Balcony Palace was from the hands of Sima Chengzhen, and his interest in the Balcony Palace was even stronger.

Guo Xun asked: "In the Tang Dynasty, it was called the balcony view, but why was it changed to the balcony palace later?" ”

Yunlong Dao said: "In the third year of Jin Zhenyou, rebuild the balcony view. The person who presided over the renovation heard that Princess Yuzhen, the sister of Xuanzong, had worshiped Baiyunzi as a teacher here and lived here to devote herself to cultivation. The princess's bedroom is naturally a palace rather than a view, so the balcony view was changed to the balcony longevity palace. Later, it was customary to call the Balcony Wanshou Palace the Balcony Palace. ”

Guo Xun bowed his head and said: "I see! ”

When the group entered the mountain gate, they were greeted by five large trees, all of which were giant trees that several people could hug. There are four ancient cypresses, two of which are very distinctive, one resembles a cloud dragon and the other resembles a danfeng. But what is even more surprising is that there is a Borneo tree mixed among the five trees.

As everyone in the world knows, Taoism likes to plant pines and cypresses in the view, because it is evergreen in all seasons to take the meaning of immortality, which is the treasure of Taoism. Buddhism likes to plant Borneo trees in the temple, which is regarded as the treasure of the temple by the believers.

Since ancient times, the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism cannot be said to be as powerful as fire and water, but they are also full of mustard, and on the surface they seem to be harmonious, but secretly there is a tendency to not get along with each other. Moreover, the Taoist gate looks down on Buddhism from the bottom of his heart. It's not that there is such a story, saying that Buddhism was formed by Lao Tzudu. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to plant Borneo trees in Taoist temples.

Wang Shouren has two doors of Buddha, and he also knows the grievances of the two gates. Seeing that the heart of the Bora tree moved, he secretly said: "Could it be that the Taoist sect wants to abandon prejudices and work hand in hand with the Buddhist sect?" If this is really the case, is it a blessing for both Buddhism and Taoism? Thinking of this, he pointed to the Borneo tree sandwiched between the pines and cypresses and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Yunlong Dao said: "This tree was originally a tribute from the Tianzhu monks. Princess Yuzhen came to the balcony palace to practice, and Emperor Xuanzong gave this tree to the public. After the princess arrived at the balcony palace, this tree was also planted in the temple. ”

Only then did Wang Shouren realize that things were not what he thought. But because it was planted by the princess herself, the dynasties did not dare to destroy it, so there is the wonder of the holy tree of the Buddha Gate in the Taoist temple.

The three of them were talking, and they had arrived at their accommodation. The entourage went into the house to make beds and change the bedding to clean up the quarters, and the guards guarded the entire balcony palace according to the terrain of the palace, or patrolling or secret sentry, and did not allow outsiders to invade.

Wang Shouren looked up at the sky, coughed twice, and said, "My cough is so bad that it's hard to fall asleep until I'm sleepy." Why don't you go around with me again and kill some time? ”

Yunlong Dao sang "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" and said, "It is an honor for Poor Dao to be able to accompany Uncle. ”

Guo Xun yawned and said, "I also have a problem, I can't sleep in a new place, so the three of us go around together." ”

The three of them wandered around the balcony palace. Every time he arrived at a hall, the head of the Yunlong Dao said that this hall was dedicated to what great god, when the temple was damaged, and when it was rebuilt.

After half an hour, the three of them came to a pavilion, and the head of Yunlong Dao proposed to go in and sit, Guo Xun and Wang Shouren nodded in agreement. The three of them entered the pavilion, Yunlong Dao Chang called Dao Tong to make good tea, and after the three of them took a sip, Yunlong Dao said: "The two adults came all the way to Xiaoguan, not just to visit Xiaoguan!" ”

Guo Xun said with a smile: "It is said that the chief is a master of the Tao with magical powers, and it is indeed true." Not only can we calculate that we will come to the Taoist temple tonight to spend the night, but also can calculate that we have something else to disturb, which is really admired. ”

Yunlong Dao smiled with his chin long, shook the fingers in his hand, and sang "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" again. How could he calculate that Guo Xun had something to ask for, but with his eyesight, he found that Guo Xun wanted to talk several times, and he must have asked him something, so he said that ambiguous sentence. Listening to Guo Xun's admission that he really had something to ask for, he said, "Master Guo, please speak!" ”

Guo Xun was a good governor in Liangguang, and suddenly a team of brocade guards came and announced that he should enter Beijing quickly. The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, can be mixed under Lord Zhengde, and can be the governor of Liangguang, but not necessarily under Lord Jiajing. For this time to enter Beijing to face the saint, he really didn't know whether it was a curse or a blessing, and he was uneasy in his heart.

He pushed and knocked on the side, trying to find out the blessings and misfortunes from Jinyiwei's mouth, but Jinyiwei didn't know if it was really unclear, or if he was strict, and he didn't reveal the slightest news.

He wanted to speculate from Jinyiwei's attitude towards him. If Jin Yiwei yelled at him, it would prove that he was escorted back to Beijing, and this time there was more than one bad luck. If Jin Yiwei flattered him in every possible way, it proved that he was escorting him back to Beijing, and this time it would be a blessing rather than a curse. But Jin Yiwei is always neither humble nor arrogant to him, and he can't speculate.

When the group arrived in Kaifeng, they happened to meet Wang Shouren returning to his hometown to guard the system.

Guo Xun and Wang Shouren are old acquaintances. When Wang Shouren was the governor of several prefectures in Fujian as the imperial historian of the capital, he joined forces with Wang Shouren to suppress bandits. It was at that time that the two laid the foundation of friendship and became year-end friends.

Guo Xun heard people in Kaifeng that the Taoist chief of the Balcony Palace in Wangwu Township, Jiyuan County, was quite powerful, and he was extremely accurate in calculating people's future wealth, so he pondered coming to the Balcony Palace to find the Yunlong Taoist to calculate. However, he also knew that the Jinyi guards only wanted to send him to the capital safe and sound, and would never agree to change the itinerary.

After meeting Wang Shouren, he had an idea.
