In the Laojun Temple of Chang'an, several small Taoist priests are cleaning, and by the way, they are talking about the pomp and circumstance of Master Sanzang.

"Ugh! Have you heard? ”

"What did you hear?"

"What kind of Sanzang Master, from the Western Regions, said that he experienced the suffering of people on the desert grassland, and hoped to spread the true meaning of the Buddha to the Quartet. Now he is respected by His Majesty as a national teacher, and His Royal Highness King Zhao and His Royal Highness King Hengshan worship him as a teacher, and give him a title. Ay! Look at our Daoist, since the death of the National Teacher Louguan Qihui Dao Changxian, this momentum is really getting lower and lower. ”

"Isn't it? At the beginning, the emperor placed that Miss Chen in our Taoist temple, let us keep it a secret, who knows, there was so much turmoil, originally thought that after Miss Chen married King Zhao, when the time comes, we will ascend to heaven together, who knows, there is an assassin again? Now, our old gentleman's view is becoming more and more deserted. ”

"Hey!" Suddenly, a cough sounded:

"Nibble!" The little Taoist priests immediately turned around.

"Ahh Master! When a few little Taoist priests saw that it was Daoist Xie Hong, they immediately lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak. Daoist Xie Hong looked at a few of them.

"Do you have nothing to do, do you want to add more things to you?"

"Nope! No! No! Master! No! A few little Taoist priests hurriedly carried the broom and left. For a moment, Daoist Xie Hong felt sad. After Chen Zhen'er became the concubine of King Zhao, some Taoist priests in Lao Junguan were thoughtful, and several Taoist priests had already grown their own hair and returned to the customs, and ran to King Zhao's mansion to run the door. The rest of the people are also fluctuating, and now, many people have seen the scenery of Master Sanzang again, and some Taoist priests have moved their minds and want to change their courts. In the past, Daoist Xie Hong would definitely punish these people with the dignity of a master, but now, Daoist Xie Hong can't be hard-hearted. On the one hand, people's hearts are like this, even if they are monks, they have not completely let go of fame and fortune; On the other hand, at the beginning, Chen Shuozhen came here as a prisoner under house arrest, who knew that he secretly hooked up with Li Chengdao, and finally became King Zhao's side concubine. For Zhao King Li Chengdao and Chen Shuozhen, the ending was successfully resolved, and the lovers eventually became dependents, but for Lao Junguan, Xie Hong has always felt that this is the catastrophe of Lao Junguan, but Li Jiancheng has never expressed his attitude. Xie Hong once thought about committing suicide, but Li Jiancheng warned himself, and Xie Hong didn't know what to do for a while? Therefore, many Taoist priests left Laojunguan or expressed their intentions, and Daoist Xie Hong did not completely stop it. It's just that, seeing Lao Junguan's dilapidated appearance, Daoist Xie Hong also felt heartache for no reason.

"Look, look!" A little Taoist priest came to Daoist Xie Hong's side.

"Hmmm! What a thing! ”

"Enlightening the Lord, a distinguished guest has arrived! Waiting for you right in your room. ”

"Distinguished guest!?" When Daoist Xie Hong heard that the distinguished guests were coming, he immediately followed the little Taoist priest to his room, where there were several big men standing at the door of the room, as well as a few servant women and maids. Judging from the pomp, it is indeed a distinguished guest. After Daoist Xie Hong walked into the room, he saw a man in a black cloak with his back to him.

"Who is your guest? What's the matter with my Laojunguan? The man took off his black cloak.

"Master, you don't know me anymore."

"Ahh Poor road see the princess mother! When Daoist Xie Hong saw that Chen Zhen'er was coming, he immediately saluted Chen Zhen'er, and Chen Zhen'er immediately held Daoist Xie Hong.

"Master! When Zhen'er was in Laojunguan, she was taken care of by Master Domeng. Chen Zhen'er saluted to Chief Xie Hong.

"Ahh Empress! Cannot! Don't dare! "Daoist Xie Hong didn't dare to accept Chen Zhen'er's courtesy.

"I don't know Niangniang, what's the important thing about coming to Benguan?" Chen Zhen'er whispered to Daoist Xie Hong:

"Dao Chief, I don't know if the Dao Chief is willing, like Master Sanzang, respected by the court, entering and leaving the court, and hugging the front and back?!" Xie Hongdao was shocked - Xie Hongdao didn't expect Chen Zhen'er to be so straightforward. However, Daoist Xie Hong did not dare to express his position easily. Because Chen Zhen'er is just a prince's side concubine, she does not have enough weight in the court. Moreover, Daoist Xie Hong felt that Chen Zhen'er's visit this time might involve the wives and concubines competing for favor within the Zhao Palace. Daoist Xie Hong has already experienced it once, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with this kind of thing. So, silence.

"Master! When Zhen'er was in Laojunguan, Master Domeng took care of her, and this time she came to repay the master! Master, if you want, Zhao Wangfu is willing to go to the book and let the master go out, and the master can go wherever he wants! Master! Chen Zhen'er saw that Daoist Xie Hong had been pondering there and was silent, and immediately knelt in front of Daoist Xie Hong:

"Master! Please seize this opportunity, if the master does not seize this opportunity, Zhen'er will not be able to kneel here! Daoist Xie Hong still didn't let go. However, seeing Chen Zhen'er's pity, I felt sorry in my heart.

"Zhen'er, isn't it good for you to be your own concubine of King Zhao's Mansion? Why get involved in such nonsense things, these things are not for you as a woman, so why should you bother? ”

"Master! This matter, it's not Zhen'er, Zhen'er is ......" At this time, a man's voice sounded:

"Dao Chief, Zhen'er was entrusted by this king to come to Guiguan, Dao Chief, do you suspect that this king is not weighty?" Daoist Xie Hong looked back and found that Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao, was standing at the door looking at him with a smile, but although Li Chengdao was laughing, there was a look of displeasure in his eyes. Daoist Xie Hong knew that he must have made King Zhao Li Chengdao unhappy because of what happened just now. Zhao Wang Li Chengdao is beating himself! Daoist Xie Hong immediately smiled all over his face, and shouted to the little Taoist priest beside King Zhao Li Chengdao:

"How can you do it, King Zhao is here, why don't you report it quickly!" The little Taoist priest knew that the master was taking the opportunity to play, but he still lowered his head and didn't say a word. Zhao Wang Li Chengdao smiled:

"Dao Chief, don't be angry, it's the Lone King who asked him not to report it. Come on! Go ahead! The little Taoist priest was about to leave, but Daoist Xie Hong stopped him.

"There are no rules, the distinguished guests are here, and they don't know how to pour tea." The little Taoist priest was about to pour tea, but found that there was no boiling water, and it was suddenly there.

"Alright, you go to the room and boil water! You don't have to worry about it here! Stay a little longer, and tell others, don't come to me if you have nothing to do, I have something important to talk about with the prince. The little Taoist priest nodded and left.

"Lord Wang, is what you said true?" Zhao Wang Li Chengdao nodded. Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao, likes Taoism, not only because of Chen Zhen'er, but when Li Chengdao was very young, Li Yuan often took Li Chengdao with Li Chenglu and Li Chengqian to participate in Taoist rituals. At that time, Li Yuan often said to Li Chengdao, Li Chenglu, and Li Chengqian:

"Chengdao, Chenglu, Chengqian, you remember, our Li family is the descendants of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is Taishang Laojun, it is precisely because of the protection of Taishang Laojun that we people have established this Tang foundation." Under the influence of Li Yuan, Li Chengdao also developed a strong interest in Taoism. The Tao Te Ching became a favorite reading for Lee Seung-do. And Chen Zhen'er was hidden in the Taoist temple at the beginning, which was also the result of Li Chengdao's bitter plea to Li Jiancheng. Therefore, when Li Jiancheng asked Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu to worship Master Sanzang as their teacher, Li Chengdao hesitated. When Li Jiancheng said that religious beliefs and all divine rights revolve around the imperial power, Li Chengdao still had some resistance in his heart, and he was bent on winning a suitable development space for Taoism. When Li Chengdao returned to Zhao Wangfu, he met Xiao Hanyan and Chen Zhen'er, two wives and concubines. When Li Chengdao walked into Xiao Hanyan's bedroom, he found that there was also a golden Buddha statue of Shakyamuni Buddha in Xiao Hanyan's bedroom.

"Hmmm! Love Concubine! How? There is an extra Buddha statue of Shakyamuni Buddha here? ”

"Your Highness! This Buddha statue is a concubine who begged from the Jingjue Temple! I heard that Master Sanzang brought it back from Tianzhu. Now His Royal Highness has become a disciple of Master Sanzang, so the concubine specially spent 5,000 taels of silver to ask for this Buddha statue from Jingjue Temple. I hope to bless us with the safety of Zhao Wangfu's house! The prince is in good health! All diseases are invasive! Looking at Xiao Hanyan's concerned eyes, Li Chengdao was unhappy, but he didn't show any unhappiness.

"Oh! You're bothered! ”

"Lord Wang! For the safety of our Zhao Wangfu's house, the prince is in good health! These are nothing! Xiao Hanyan was lying in Li Chengdao's arms, but Xiao Hanyan didn't notice that Li Chengdao was unhappy in his heart! When Li Chengdao came to Chen Zhen'er's room, he saw that Chen Zhen'er was still worshipping Taishang Laojun devoutly. deliberately teased Chen Zhen'er.

"Zhen'er! Don't you know that this king is now worshipping Master Sanzang as his teacher and becoming a disciple of Buddhism? Why do you still worship Taishang Laojun? Chen Zhen'er apologized to Lee Chengdao and said:

"Your Highness! It's not that Zhen'er doesn't want to worship Shakyamuni! It's just that Zhen'er used to be a Taoist disciple, and His Royal Highness often said that Taishang Laojun was the distant ancestor of His Highness. Zhen'er worships here, not the Taishang Laojun who is commemorating, but the distant ancestor Li Er of His Royal Highness! After listening to Chen Zhen'er's words, Li Chengdao only felt that his whole body was safe. Feel much better! Li Chengdao leaned over Chen Zhen'er's ear.

"Zhen'er! You do something for this king!? "When Chen Zhen'er left, Li Chengdao thought about it again - 'No, Xie Hongdao is a little suspicious. At the beginning, when this king was in Laojunguan, he encountered Xiao Yinqiao's poisoning of Zhen'er, which had already made Daoist Xie Hong a little frightened. It is inevitable that there will be some mustard for Zhen'er, and when the time comes, things will not be done well, but it will backfire! No, the king still has to go there himself. So, Li Chengdao quickly came to Laojunguan. As Li Chengdao expected, Daoist Xie Hong had some doubts about Chen Zhen'er in his heart, but the arrival of Li Chengdao also dispelled Daoist Xie Hong's doubts.
