The first stop of Xuanzang's national tour speech was Yongzhou?

Guo Ye's face was full of surprise, and he secretly said in his heart, could it be that Xuanzang's first stop to Yongzhou this time was also related to the troubles of Yongzhou believers and the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism?

Or is it just a coincidence?

Guo Ye didn't have time to ask in detail, so Xuanzang opened his mouth and said: "Brother Guo, the hour is not early, the little monk has to take the disciples back to the Great Ci'en Temple to clean up and tidy up, and set off early tomorrow morning." When he returned to Chang'an in the future, the first thing the monk did was to visit Guo's mansion and talk about his brother's old friendship. ”

After that, Xuanzang Chong Guo Ye clasped his hands again, bowed slightly and pronounced a Buddha name, then turned around and walked out of the flower hall, drifting away in the direction of the gate of the Hou Mansion, his figure out of the dust and elegant.

Xuanzang's departure faintly touched a little reluctance in Guo Ye's heart, acquaintance is not only a fate, not to mention acquaintance and acquaintance, mutual confidant?

Although parting is sad, he has not yet reached the point where he can't sleep and can't eat at night, because he also knows that parting is not goodbye, and this parting is just the beginning of the next meeting.

It's good to open it up, and life has to go on.

Because his wife Chai Xiuxiu took his adoptive father Wu Maocai to Huo Guogong's mansion and has not returned home yet, he still eats dinner alone today.

After a hasty dinner, the sky was already dark, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there was nothing to do, so I could only return to the bedroom alone to prepare for bed.

He wants to go to bed early tonight, get up early tomorrow morning and continue to skip work, and go straight out of the city to Panlongguan, which is ten miles away.

The long night passed in the sound of snoring soundly asleep.

The sky was slightly bright, and he called Wang Bajin from his sleep, and after a few words, he went out of the city alone and went straight to Panlongguan.

When arriving at the Panlong Temple, the early sun can only rise from the east, and at this time, the Taoist priests in the Panlong Temple have already gotten up, and are sitting cross-legged on the futon in the hall of the Sanqing Patriarch in the temple, and are doing morning classes with the new master Li Chunfeng.

One Taoist boy led Guo Ye to the backyard wing room in the Taoist temple, while another Taoist boy went to the main hall to inform Li Chunfeng of Guo Ye's arrival.

As soon as Li Chunfeng heard about the visit of Uncle Cheap, he naturally immediately got up and casually asked a few words to the Taoist priests, and then hurried to the wing room to see Guo Ye, not daring to slack off at all.

He really didn't dare to treat Uncle Cheap sloppily, because since the departure of his master Yuan Tiangang, he has completely fallen into a state of hesitation. Whether it was his being crowned as a protector by His Majesty Li Er, or his status now recognized by his fellow Taoists in Chang'an, he was obtained with the help of Uncle Cheap.

It's really face-saving.

If it weren't for the cheap uncle who helped him before, secretly instructed him, and asked him to choose the blessed land for the imperial emperor Li Yuan to build the imperial mausoleum, how could his life be so nourishing now?

Hurriedly ran into the backyard room, Li Chunfeng came to Guo Ye, bowed his head, and greeted him warmly: "Uncle Shi is here, the disciple is disrespectful, rude, it's really rude." ”

Guo Ye looked at Li Chunfeng's face now ruddy, like a hungry and thirsty widow who had been cultivated by thirty fierce men, and secretly laughed in his heart, people are in good spirits when they are happy, this kid has been living a good life recently.

Then, he got up and waved his hand, and said to Li Chunfeng with the posture and taste of an elder: "Senior nephew, you are not kind." Your uncle and I have worked hard for you, and I have worked hard to get you to the top and make you famous, but you have something to hide from me. Tsk, it's really sad, it's so inauthentic. ”

Li Chunfeng was stunned suddenly, looked at Guo Ye with an innocent face, and asked, "Uncle Shi, didn't the disciple hide anything from you?" ”

Guo Ye was depressed for a while when he saw this, and secretly complained, you kid is still pretending to be stupid and selling cuteness with me? If it weren't for Li Jing's reminder, Lao Tzu would have been really kept in the dark by your kid.

Immediately, he pulled down his face in anger and scolded softly: "You kid is still here pretending to be garlic with me, right?" Do you want me to remind you? Your master and my senior brother, Yuan Tiangang's old god stick suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye, did he travel all over the world? Or is there something else? Grandma's, you two can hide from me so hard, if I hadn't been told by others, I would have been ......"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye stopped his voice at the right time, and stared directly at Li Chunfeng with a kind of eyes that penetrated everything in the world, and just kept staring without speaking.

After staring at it silently for a long time, Li Chunfeng's heart began to grow weak.

So, he asked weakly: "Uncle Shi, do you already know what my master is doing?" ”

Hey? It's really a show!

Guo Ye muttered secretly, and said in his heart, Li Jing really didn't lie to me, the master and apprentice really have something to hide from me.

Suddenly, he cocked Erlang's legs and said in ambiguous words: "Nonsense, can paper hold the fire?" Can this kind of thing be hidden for a lifetime? In vain, I regard you master and apprentice as close and close confidants, but you hide it from me. I can understand that you should be confidential and cautious, but you shouldn't have to hide it from me. ”

Xiaozhi is affectionate, moving is reasonable, coupled with Guo Ye's heart-pounding chest, this ambiguous remark immediately caused Li Chunfeng to feel guilty.

Especially thinking about Guo Ye's kindness to himself a few days ago and some of the arrangements he made for himself, Li Chunfeng felt even more apologetic.

Then, he sighed and said, "Alas, it's not that the disciple deliberately wants to hide it from you, uncle, it's that the master has repeatedly explained before leaving, don't mention to outsiders the purpose of his trip to leave Chang'an and go to the south." ”

Guo Ye was slightly stunned, it turned out that like Xuanzang, Yuan Tiangang also went to the south.

Immediately, he continued to scold: "Didn't you understand your master's words? I said, my stupid nephew, your master also said, so that you should not mention the purpose of his trip to the south to outsiders. But who am I? I am your uncle, and even your master will call me a junior brother. And have you forgotten my identity in Chang'an Daomen? Your master issued a decree and sealed me as the protector of Chang'an Daomen. Am I an outsider in your eyes? ”

"Yes, yes, Uncle Shi taught me."

Li Chunfeng nodded again and again: "Everything is the disciple's fault, and I hope that Uncle Shi will not take it to heart." Since Uncle Shi and your old man already know the purpose of the master's trip to the south, the disciple will not say much, and I hope that the uncle can keep it secret for the master. In the future, the disciples will definitely not dare to hide anything from their uncle. ”

"Ga ......"

Guo Ye was dumbfounded, grandma's, this is the end? Doesn't this kid say that he didn't say it? My day, don't you kid tell me where I'm going?

Immediately, he deliberately continued to keep a straight face and shouted: "Although I already know the purpose of your master's trip, I still can't get rid of this breath in my heart. No, you must confess to me your master's purpose of leaving the south without saying goodbye, and repeat it to me in my ear, otherwise it will be difficult to dispel the anger in my heart. , I think you are a trustworthy person, but you treat me as an outsider, no, this thing is too insulting. ”

"Okay, good," Li Chunfeng was already ashamed in his heart, and seeing that Guo Ye was about to get angry again, he hurriedly comforted, "Uncle Shi is going to be angry anymore, I said, I said it." As long as Uncle Shi can dissipate his anger, let alone let the disciple repeat it again, it will be repeated ten times, and the disciple is willing. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chunfeng inserted the dust in his hand into his waist, then pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva to moisten his throat, and said slowly: "Uncle Shi, you should know that Taoism in the south and north all believe in the Sanqing patriarch, but there are also differences. My master, and even the Taoist sects in Chang'an and the entire north have cultivated the Quanzhen Tao in Taoism, so it has become the Quanzhen Sect in the north; And what about the Taoists in the south? The cultivation is basically Zhengyi, so it is also called the Southern Zhengyi Religion.

Red lotus, white lotus root, green lotus leaves, the three religions were originally one family, not to mention the Quanzhen Sect and the Zhengyi Sect, which both belong to Taoism? But it is the Zhengyi Sect in the south, and they have always been in the same boat as our Northern Quanzhen Sect. Alas, it is no wonder that Buddhism is now very powerful, faintly overshadowing the signs of our Taoism, you say that our own family is fighting behind closed doors, can we still expect to work together with one heart and one mind to expel Buddhism from the Central Plains? No, my master is a person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and when he heard that something big had happened in Lingnan, he hurried over. If you want me to say, it's good that something happens to this Zhengyi Sect, so that Taoism will not cause trouble in Xiao Wall's nest, and there is no need to let those great monks of Buddhism laugh and look down on it. ”

Li Chunfeng spoke clearly, and the words entered Guo Ye's ears, which suddenly made him feel a storm in his heart. Could it be ......

Subconsciously, he grabbed Li Chunfeng's arm and asked in surprise: "You mean, the Southern Zhengyi Sect had a mess in Lingnan, and then your master went over to help quell the trouble?" ”

"Huh? Uncle, didn't you say that you know the purpose of the master's trip? ”

Li Chunfeng was tightly grasped by Guo Ye's arm, but he exclaimed in a trance, and after carefully pondering Guo Ye's words, he suddenly reacted, and suddenly turned into a face full of anger, and shouted loudly:

"Uncle Shi, you... You... You are not kind, you actually use words to deceive me? ”

It seems that Li Chunfeng has already reacted that he was deceived by Guo Ye, a cheap uncle.
