Chapter 358: Encounters with Chaoyunguan
Runye and Jin Yuanjing walked all the way in the car of Lu Fu, and finally arrived at the east of Bianjing, the location of Chaoyunguan.
What kind of situation Chaoyunguan is like now, Runye and Jin Yuanjing don't know, but they can be sure that since Zhang Yuqian's death, it must be a mess.
Of course, no one wants this to be the result, and no one wants Zhang Yuqian to leave.
However, since the emperor has given orders, they must obey them, and there is no way to disobey them.
When I arrived at the door of Chaoyunguan, Runye looked at the narrow Taoist temple, which was written with the three words "Chaoyunguan" written on it, and the words were like faces.
Maybe my father is such a person, gentle, upright, and impartial, and finally left Chaoyunguan and sealed everything here.
Runye didn't want to exonerate his father, what he did and what he didn't do was passed on by word of mouth, and many things were not groundless.
Jin Yuanjing stood beside Runye, and he didn't think about it like Runye.
"Chief Rundao, welcome to my house Chaoyunguan."
The corners of Runye's mouth showed a smile that should not be noticed, and Jin Yuanjing felt a little weak when Runye smiled like this.
"What's the matter, don't you look down on my family?"
"Nope." Runye looked at Jin Yuanjing and was very disgusted, "It's not that I said that the people in your family don't recognize you now." ”
Runye's words made Jin Yuanjing feel that he was too faceless
"Runye, can you save me some face next time, it's hurtful for you to talk like this."
"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm always very straightforward, you have to admit that I'm telling the truth."
Jin Yuanjing sighed, Runye was right, whether the people of this family recognize him or not now is still a matter of words, it is better not to be majestic at the gate of Chaoyunguan.
"Let's go."
Saying that, Jin Yuanjing walked into the temple one step ahead of Runye, and Runye followed.
The two of them entered Chaoyunguan, and after walking a few steps, they saw a person sitting under the rock wall at the gate, and the table was neatly placed with incense.
Seeing Runye and Jin Yuanjing entering the door, he stood up without hurry.
"Two Taoist friends, please stay, our abbot is not at home now, and we can't place orders."
"We're not here to place orders."
Jin Yuanjing hurriedly explained, but who knew that the little Taoist priest who sold incense showed a suspicious expression.
"Where the two Taoist friends come to Bianjing to live, we can't place a short order here."
Jin Yuanjing crossed his waist and was thinking about getting angry, but Runye hurriedly stopped, for fear that Runye, an immature Taoist, would quarrel with his Taoist priest and it would be difficult to establish his prestige in the future.
"Fellow Daoist, we have friends in Bianjing, and we are living there temporarily."
"I see, I thought that the two Taoist friends came here to place orders, and now it is really inconvenient for us to view the clouds."
Jin Yuanjing saw that the little Taoist priest was full of sadness, so he pretended to say, "We are also the first time to enter the Chaoyun Temple, and we have come to pay homage to the ancestors, I don't know if you can make it convenient for the two of us to lead the way."
The little Taoist priest was worried that he had nothing to do, so he said, "Okay, dare to ask the two Taoist friends what they are called."
"My surname is Jin, and this friend is surnamed Run, I don't know what you call it"
The little Taoist priest hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Xingran." ”
Saying that, Li Xingran took Runye and Jin Yuanjing towards the inside of Chaoyunguan, and when they arrived at the mountain gate of Chaoyunguan, they saw a small stone gate with the emperor's imperial pen written on it.
"Construct Bianjing Chaoyun View"
Runye and Jin Yuanjing stopped under this character, Li Xingran saw that the two were interested in this character, and explained, "This is the thirteenth year of Zhengde, and the word written by the saint for Chaoyuanguan today." ”
"Chaoyunguan has always been the favorite place of the saints today."
As he spoke, Runye looked at Li Xingran with a very strange smile on his face.
Li Xingran looked at Runye, and he didn't know what was going on, and suddenly he felt a chill all over his body, I don't know if it was because Runye's aura of not being angry and arrogant, or because it was really cold and unnatural on this day.
"Daoyou is right, whenever the emperor leaves the palace, seven out of ten times come to our Chaoyunguan, although he has not come much in recent years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the power of Chaoyunguan is intertwined."
Runye listened to Li Xingran's words and felt that this Li Xingran was talking very strangely.
It seems to be a bit of a needle, and the feeling of dissatisfaction with the view of Chaoyun.
"By the way, Daoyou, I think you're face-to-face, I don't seem to have seen you before." Runye looked at Li Xingran and asked politely.
Li Xingran looked at Runye suspiciously, and said, "I've been in Chaoyunguan for a long time, and I haven't seen you for a long time, maybe it's been a long time, people come and go, and I can't remember a lot." ”
Runye nodded hurriedly and looked at Li Xingran with a smile.
"By the way, you just told us that you can't place an order, and the abbot is not in the temple now, I don't know why."
Li Xingran heard Runye's question, and only sighed again.
"Actually, it's nothing, it doesn't hurt to tell the two Taoist friends, our abbot is already dead and fine before entering the palace, but when he comes back, it is a corpse, it is said that it is given to death, and it is also said that our abbot came to the emperor and had an emergency. The abbot is not young, and it is normal for him to have an emergency, but I am more inclined to think that our abbot may have died. ”
Li Xingran deliberately lowered his voice, and Runye and Jin Yuanjing listened carefully.
They knew that it would take a lot of courage for Li Xingran to say such things.
"Dead," Runye raised his eyebrows.
In fact, Zhang Yuqian committed suicide, which Runye knew very well, but in that case, when he entered the palace, he knew that he was disliked by the emperor, and it was nothing to leave a little dignity to die, in fact, Runye also felt that Li Xingran was right, this is another degree of death.
"Don't say it" Li Xingran looked at Zhang Yueqian, and felt more and more uncomfortable, "Our abbot has always been at odds with the emperor, and we have expected the result now, but the old people are right and wrong, and it doesn't make sense to talk about it." ”
Saying that, Li Xingran took the two to the apse of Chaoyunguan, the apse was dedicated to the Jade Emperor, and the last hall was dedicated to Sanqing.
This is the highest standard temple in the entire Chaoyun Temple, and there is no Taoist temple that will worship such a high-standard deity except here.
Runye and Jin Yuanjing greeted each other one by one.
In addition to these two halls, there are also a number of small halls, and Runye and Jin Yuanjing have worshiped them one by one, and they don't say they are tired.
Although his head was a little red, he still insisted on worshipping all the immortals.
Li Xingran's opinion of the two has also changed from being unfamiliar just now, to now he is really a little admired.
"When I first came here, I worshipped all the immortals, but Chaoyunguan was too big, I really couldn't finish worshipping, and I didn't worship anymore. You may be here for the first time to have such perseverance. ”
Jin Yuanjing looked at Li Xingran and said half-jokingly.
"Eh, let me ask you a question, if someone can come to worship God every day, one worship is twenty or thirty years, have you ever met such a person?"
Li Xingran thought about it, nodded and shook his head.
"There used to be an old lady who often came here to worship God, rain or shine, and we Taoist priests all knew her. But the old lady lasted three years, and then rarely came. I've been selling incense at the door for four years, and this is the person I met with perseverance. ”
"Three years."
Jin Yuanjing muttered secretly, as if thinking of something, and Li Xingran also said half-jokingly, "If you can continue to come here for three years and come here every day, I will recognize you as a master." ”
Jin Yuanjing laughed, and the three of them laughed in unison.
Runye saw that the time was not early, and he thought that Zhu Hongyu would also arrive in Zhuji or further away at this time.
"Jin Yuanjing, it's not early, let's not disturb Daochang Li."
Jin Yuanjing looked at Li Xingran, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.
"Alright, we'll come back another day."
Li Xingran smiled and nodded, as if life had a little more to look forward to, he sent the two of them towards the door, and just walked to the mountain gate when he saw three Taoist priests coming from outside.
Li Xingran shook all over his body, and quietly hid behind Jin Yuanjing and Runye.
I saw the three people come forward and said, "Yo, isn't this Li Xingran, what are you hiding?"
Li Xingran didn't speak, lowered his head and continued to hide behind Jin Yuanjing and Runye, this action made Runye and Jin Yuanjing a little strange, thinking about what the hell is this Li Xingran.
"This is where your friend came from?"
Hearing this, Runye was angry, and was stopped by Jin Yuanjing just thinking about the theory.
"A few Taoist friends, we are not Li Xingran's friends, we just passed by by accident. By the way, no matter what Daochang Li says, he is also a Taoist priest of Chaoyunguan, he has a precedence in hearing the Tao, and he has a specialization in the art industry, so I don't know how to call the three. ”
As he spoke, Jin Yuanjing clenched his fists towards the three Taoist priests, and he spoke politely.
The three Taoist priests are used to bullying Li Xingran on weekdays, and they heard Jin Yuanjing say that he was passing by by accident, and his accent was not from Bianjing, and he looked down on him.
"Don't look at what kind of place this is, it's already a blessing for you to come in and pay a respect, and you're not afraid that you will be embarrassed to stay here We still have something to find Li Xingran today, get out of here,"
"Get out" Runye looked at the three of them coldly, and said angrily, "Whoever gave you the right to let us go, who taught you to let you talk like this." ”
Li Xingran heard Runye's anger, and hurriedly rushed out from behind the two of them, no longer hiding behind them.
"Two Taoist friends, Gong Ye, Zhang Ye, and Lu Ye, it's convenient, my friend is ignorant from other places, you don't want to be like them. It's my fault today, and I will come to the door to apologize after I send them off. ”
Seeing Li Xingran's politeness, the three of them showed a disdainful look.
"Alright, hurry up and send your short-eyed friend away, don't be here next to our eyes."
As he spoke, the three of them squeezed Runye's body and walked back to the single room, and Li Xingran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them leave.
"Hey, I'm scared to death, you didn't come out of the big temple, I've experienced a lot of this kind of thing."
Runye looked at Li Xingran with annoyance and asked, "What are these three people, why are you so afraid of them?"
