Since there was this Dharma discernment conference, Xiao Yu, who was already slightly involved in Buddhism, naturally didn't want to miss it, so he ordered the boat to stop and dock, and he quietly went ashore with his family and a few followers.

Yuanjue Temple is not in the city, but is located about thirty miles away from Jiangzhou City on the pine mountain, Xiao Yu arrived outside the Yuanjue Temple at about the hour, the temple door has not yet opened, many pilgrims on the morning incense are waiting outside the door, after seeing Xiao Yu with a family with a group of people, there is not much surprise, only when it is the female dependents of a large family to come to incense, after all, this Yuanjue Temple is one of the four famous temples in Jiangzhou, and the famous family often comes here to worship the Buddha on incense, but the wealthy family will inform the temple in advance before coming, and there is no need to wait outside as ordinary people。 From this point of view, this family is not a local family.

Xiao Yu had nothing to do, so he took Xiao Yuyi, and Lin Yinping went around the mountain gate of Yuanjue Temple for a circle, it was early in the morning, and the air was still slightly cool.

Because Xiao Yuyi was asleep most of the time when she passed through Qizhou, this was the first time she saw the spring scenery in the Guannei, and she couldn't help but widen a pair of black and white eyes and looked around.

Xiao Yu turned his head to Lin Yinping beside him and said, "I heard that in all temples, Su Zhai is doing well, but I don't know if it can compare to Qi Yun Zhenren's Su Yun Banquet." ”

Although Lin Yinping didn't go to the luxurious Suyun banquet, he had heard Xiao Yu say a thing or two, and couldn't help laughing: "How can an ordinary meal compare to the Suyun banquet of the Taoist Sect." ”

Xiao Yu pursed his lips, "Although the Suyun Banquet is precious, many of the ingredients have been replaced with medicinal herbs, and the taste is very poor. ”

Lin Yinping said, "Fortunately, I didn't go." ”

While speaking, the gate of Yuanjue Temple slowly opened, and two monks walked out of the door, saluting to the many pilgrims outside the temple, and the pilgrims poured towards the temple, and Xiao Yu and his party followed the flow of people, and walked towards the temple unhurriedly.

Lin Yinping believed in the Buddha, so he took Xiao Yuyi to the main hall to worship the Buddha, Xiao Yu felt that he was a person in the Taoist Gate, and it was really a bit unreasonable to worship the Buddha again, so that Zhang Xiao led a few secret guards to accompany the guards, Xiao Yu was alone and paced at will, and unconsciously, he actually walked in front of a side hall.

This side hall is dedicated to the Medicine King Buddha, and the place is extremely desolate, except for an old man dressed in Ayara in the hall, there are not half pilgrims around. The old man had snow-white hair, sat on a futon, put his hands on his knees, and just turned his head to look at Xiao Yu outside the hall.

The old man smiled at Xiao Yu, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Xiao Yu smiled freely, walked into the side hall, and sat on the futon opposite the old man. Without waiting for him to speak, the old man, who was already in his prime, asked gently, "Childe came alone to offer incense?"

Xiao Yu smiled, "Neiko took the little girl to worship the Buddha and incense, and I walked around alone." ”

The old man said with interest: "Childe doesn't believe in Buddhism?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Respectable or not." ”

The old man smiled: "It's okay, Zi is silent, and the power is confused." ”

Xiao Yu paused for a moment and asked rhetorically: "The words of the sage are naturally subtle words, but in the end, is it Zi Bu Strange, Force, Chaos, and God, or Zi Bu Strange, Force, and Chaos God?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then slowly repeated what Xiao Yu said, and laughed: "Childe is really a wonderful person. ”

Xiao Yu said indifferently: "It's just from the book, it's not my own ability." ”

The old man glanced at Xiao Yu lightly and said with a smile: "Where is Childe?"

Xiao Yu replied calmly: "The ancestral home is the Eastern Capital. ”

The old man sighed, thoughtful.

Xiao Yu suddenly asked, "Didn't you ask the old gentleman your surname?"

The old man said softly: "Don't have your surname Gong." ”

Xiao Yu's eyes condensed slightly, "Is it Gong Zun's Gong?"

Gong Zun, the word is only me, the old minister of the three dynasties, successively served as the secretary of the military department, the secretary of the ministry, the cabinet of the second assistant and other official positions, ten years ago when he said goodbye, he was given the title of Shaobao, and he was given to the pillar country, which can be called a protégé and the old officials all over the world, and it is also the same door as the young master Sun Shiwu, and even formed a cabinet with Zhang Jiangling, although Zhang Jiangling was in power, the cabinet was his hall, and the cabinet princes were like echo worms, but that was also the echo worm of the first phase of Da Zheng!

In Jiangzhou, in addition to the four famous temples, there are also four major families, namely Linlang Lu, Jinshan Gong, Jiangting Lin, Zuozhou Sima clan, in Jiangzhou, the most weighty person to speak is neither the king of Linlang County, nor the Jiangzhou political envoy and Jiangzhou general soldiers, but the four family heads who live in Jiangzhou and are the same as each other, Gong Zun is the previous generation of the head of the Gong family in Jinshan, as the only remaining Gong Zun among the older generations, has unimaginable prestige in the four major families, even if the four family heads see him, they can't say that they are sincerely afraid, but they must respectfully hold the etiquette of the younger generation.

Sure enough, the old man nodded and said frankly: "The old man is Gong Zun." ”

Xiao Yu was not surprised, arched his hand, and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Gong, disrespectful." ”

Gong Zun smiled and said, "It should have been the old man who saluted the prince first." ”

Xiao Yu squinted his eyes and said, "Lord Wang, why did the old gentleman say this?"

The old man said unhurriedly: "The old man doesn't dare to say anything about the matter of King Xiping going down to Jiangdu for thousands of miles, but he also knows a little bit about it, and if he calculates the time, it is almost time to go to Jiangzhou." ”

Xiao Yu said flatly: "It turns out that the old gentleman made a special trip to wait for this king. ”

The old man shook his head and smiled, "It's just the right time." ”

Xiao Yu was noncommittal, his eyes were cold.

The old man pondered for a moment and asked, "The old man wants to ask, what is the matter with you going to Jiangdu, prince?"

Xiao Yu was silent, just kept rotating the wrench on his thumb.

The old man didn't care, and then sighed: "The hero is a young man, the prince has not yet been established, and he has already laid a good foundation, but it makes the old man sigh to himself, the old man is still a small Hanlin editor at the age of the prince." ”

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, regained his calm demeanor, and said calmly: "Each has its own fate, maybe one day, I will be defeated and die." ”

The old man narrowed his eyes, "Why did the prince say this?"

Xiao Yu smiled lightly: "It's just a feeling." ”

Gong Zun, who was tantamount to the Dinghai Divine Needle in Jiangzhou, said softly: "The old man sees the prince this time, and he wants to ask the prince again, if one day, Shenzhou Lu sinks, what should the prince do? Is it to relieve the people from hanging upside down, or do you want to chase the world?"

Xiao Yu frowned, did not answer, but got up and left directly.

Gong Zun looked at Xiao Yu's departing back, his face was calm and waveless, and his thoughts were incomprehensible.

A person walked out from behind the Buddha statue of the Medicine King Buddha, dressed as a Confucian student, and it was Xu Hongru who was suppressed by the Xuanchen Dazhen in Meishan.

The old man asked calmly, "Did you hear everything?"

At this time, Xu Hongru couldn't hide his paleness, covered his mouth and coughed, then shook his head and said: "Xiao Yu's realm has improved too quickly, which is somewhat unexpected, with my current situation, I can only barely be discovered by him by trying my best to hide my breath, so I closed my six senses and didn't hear anything." ”

The old man said expressionlessly, "Xiao Yu didn't say anything. ”

Xu Hongru paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "In this case, the old mother who has no birth is merciful and wants to send Xiao Yu to his hometown in a vacuum, this trip to Xiao Yu's Jiangdu is the best opportunity, but there must be someone from the Taoist sect who is responsible for receiving Xiao Yu, how to behave, and ask the old gentleman to teach me." ”

The old man frowned and said: "How to practice, the old man doesn't understand, but the old man has long said that in the cultivation world, no matter who it is, it is not the opponent of the Dao Sect, if you rely on the Immortal to kill Xiao Yu, it is a way to kill yourself, the Demon Sect and Shangguan Xianchen do not believe in evil, and they are not all defeated by the hands of the Dao Sect?" But this part of the world, but there is a lot to do, after all, the immortals do not enter the world, it is the rules set by the Taoist sect itself, I think that as long as we don't move the immortals, the great people of the Taoist sect will only watch from the wall, and the road from the world has become the safest way. Originally, Xiao Yu sat firmly in the northwest with an army of 400,000, and this road would not work, but who let him come to Jiangnan alone?"

Xu Hongru arched his hand and said, "Mr. Xie instructs." ”

Gong Zun waved his hand and said, "The old man is also coming up with ideas, and what to do depends on Mr. Xu's means." ”

Xu Hongru nodded and said, "The student knows." ”
