The success of Wuxiang Temple was beyond Li Chengjing's expectations, he didn't expect that Wuxiang Temple would agree so happily.

He did not put forward all kinds of conditions as he expected, which was very pleasant.

This made Li Chengjing more confident.

Wuxiang Temple and Huangji Hall are guarded on both sides of the Imperial Palace, and you need to walk through a long street.

Li Chengjing was anxious, but he was not in a hurry.

Thinking all the way about how to persuade the people of the Imperial Palace to agree to his request.

The Huangji Hall is different from the Wuxiang Temple, whether it is the Xuanmen on the mountain, or the earth on the earth, the Huangji Hall has a very unique status, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the four words of transcendence.

The main reason is that in addition to the general worship of the Three Qings in the Huangji Palace, which is the same as all the sects, what he worships is the god with the highest status under the Three Qings, the Six Emperors.

It has also won the inheritance of the Taoist system of the Six Emperors, and its status is lofty.

As far as the world is concerned, the Huangji Hall also supports the emperors of the world, whether it is the ancient emperors of the ancients or the emperors of the previous generations.

That is, if Emperor Qing dies, his body will enter the imperial mausoleum, the crown will enter the temple, and the tablet will be enshrined in the emperor's pavilion of the emperor's pole hall.

Because of its particularity, no matter which emperor is reluctant to do anything to the Huangji Palace, because as long as the Huangji Palace exists for a day, the emperors of all dynasties do not have to worry about no one to pay tribute to themselves because of the change of dynasty.

Some people even say that the mountain range where the Huangji Hall is located is the head of the dragon vein in the Central Plains, and it is one of the ancestral mountains in the world.

But Li Chengjing knew that it was just a rumor.

The mountain range where the Huangji Hall is located, although it is a dragon vein, but it is just an ordinary dragon vein, and the reason why it has this reputation is only because the Huangji Hall is on this mountain, not because of the beautiful mountain, so there is the Huangji Palace.

This is the so-called mountain is not high, there are fairies and spirits.

It is also because of this special status that Li Chengjing does not have much confidence in the trip to the Imperial Palace.

Buddhism was originally a westward voyage to the east, and its roots in the Central Plains could not be compared with Taoism, and Buddhism had a congenital gap with imperial power, so it was impossible to gain the trust of the royal family.

Wuxiang Temple naturally has to consider the consequences of refusal.

But the Imperial Palace will not have such worries.

Even when Emperor Qing discussed with himself, he once made it clear that the choice of the Emperor's Palace was left to his own discretion and could not be forced.

This has hindered Li Chengjing in many ways.

Before you know it, you have come to the foot of the mountain gate.

When he arrived here, Li Chengjing found that the incense here was not much worse than that of Wuxiang Temple.

But it's not like the Wuxiang Temple, although the head is dense, there are people from all walks of life.

At the foot of the Huangji Palace, there are nobles, officials, and the last students of the Academy of Literature, which can be called no white ding.

People up and down are whispering, and no one is making a loud noise, which seems quiet and very elegant.

Li Chengjing walked up the stairs and followed the flow of people upward, and after walking for long, he met an acquaintance.

It was when he entered the Heavenly Prison that he encountered the imperial history who entered the Heavenly Prison for "further study", Li Chengjing thought about it for a while and remembered the name of this person, Guo Xiaoqian.

Guo Xiaoqian was dressed in regular clothes at the moment, and the handsome young man dressed as a scholar was looking at him curiously.

"Li Langzhong, I haven't seen him for many days, I didn't expect that Li Langzhong is no longer what it used to be, and has become Langzhong of the Criminal Department. Guo is also well-informed, as green as Lang Zhong, Guo is still the only one in his life! ”

Li Chengjing smiled, and said after returning the salute: "Guo Yushi still don't want to say anything more, listening to how Li feels is really ridiculous." ”

"I don't know what Guo Yushi is here today, what is the so-called?"

Guo Xiaoqian smiled softly, walked side by side with Li Chengjing, and said, "Today's rest is here, so I came here to find friends." One of the Taoist chiefs in the temple of the Three Officials Emperor here is a friend of the next family, so he specially came to talk. ”

Li Chengjing was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Guo Yushi actually made friends with the Taoist master of Sanguan Temple?" ”

"What Li Langzhong said is not a pair of eyes, a mouth, and not three heads and six arms. What can't be friends. Since today coincides with the meeting, why don't you introduce it below? ”

Li Chengjing thought about it and nodded.

The temple of the Emperor of Sanguan was originally a god enshrined in the Emperor's Palace, but because of the prosperity of the imperial power, the growth of the human race, and the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven to the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, the status of the Emperor of Sanguan has been rising.

In order to respect the three gods, and to better receive and preside over the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven, the Huangji Hall built a new temple dedicated to the Sanguan Emperor.

It seems that every time the Son of Heaven sacrifices to the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, the ancestors of the heroic spirits can hardly avoid the Taoist chief of the Sanguan Emperor Temple.

Even new officials who have joined the Ministry of Rites have to enter the Sanguan Temple and study the rituals of sacrifice for several months before they can go to the Ministry of Rites to take up their posts.

The officials who play here are really walking all over the ground with three or four grades, and the five and six grades are not as good as dogs.

Therefore, although the reputation of this place spreads far and wide, ordinary people do not dare to come here to incense, for fear of accidentally stepping on someone's foot.

It is not surprising that Li Chengjing was able to meet Guo Xiaoqian here.

Li Chengjing also understands that the officials who come here say that they are incense and respectful, and they are clear-minded, but they are just thinking about making friends with the powerful through this method.

If you can become close friends with the Taoist elders in the temple, and you have them to match, are you afraid that there will be no way to find your way?

"Li Langzhong's recent limelight is really unparalleled, not only in the court, but even in our courtyard, we have quarreled because of your affairs!"

Guo Xiaoqian said casually.

Li Chengjing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Because of me?" What's the matter? ”

"Disregarding etiquette and wearing official uniforms to make trouble, it damages the face of the court. In the past few days, we have been inspecting the Yuan, and almost all the imperial histories have impeached you. ”

Li Chengjing pretended to be surprised, and asked with a smile: "Then Guo Yushi is not impeached?" ”

Guo Xiaoqian shook the folding fan, laughed in a low voice, and said: "How is it possible, how can the impeachment of the impeachment of the official's rude excerpt be missing me, I have participated in your three books!" ”

Li Chengjing: ......

Look at Li Chengjing's speechless expression.

Guo Xiaoqian did not apologize at all for impeaching Li Chengjing, and said with a smile: "According to the etiquette of the imperial court, you will be punished for a few months, but the reason why you are like this is to save people's lives, as the so-called human life is a matter of heaven, although it is rude, but it is also excusable, plus you are now a celebrity around the emperor, and you will not do anything to you." In that case, impeachment or non-impeachment is the same for you, but it is very different for us. ”

"We are waiting for the gossip officer, the rumor is heard, and the etiquette of the officials is supervised, this is our business, if we don't impeach you, it will be a dereliction of duty for our imperial history."

Li Chengjing chuckled, this Guo Xiaoqian is also a wonderful person.

The two chatted casually, and the road was not so long.

Before you know it, you have come to the Temple of the Great Emperor of Sanguan.

The temple is huge, covering an area of more than ten acres, and you can see the noble officials who play everywhere, and the Taoist priests who lead the way to receive.

Different from other Taoist temples, the Taoist robes here are mainly three colors, namely white for heavenly officials, yellow for local officials, and black for water officials.

Looking at Li Chengjing's surprised expression, Guo Xiaoqian immediately explained the exquisiteness to Li Chengjing.

The three official emperors, namely the Holy Emperor of Tianguan Yao, the Holy Emperor of Diguan Shun, and the Holy Emperor of Shuiguan Yu, are three of the three emperors and five emperors.

Guo Xiaoqian said: "As the saying goes, the heavenly officials bless, the local officials punish the crimes, and the water officials solve the misfortunes." Its respective inheritance, the rituals are extremely cumbersome, if a Taoist learns all the three schools, it is really difficult, so in the Sanguan Temple, the Taoist priest will choose to learn the knowledge of one of the emperors, in order to distinguish them, there is this three-color robe. ”

Li Chengjing nodded.

In fact, he understood all this, but when he saw Guo Xiaoqian talking about Xingqiang, he just said it.

"Let's go to the Water Officials' Academy, my friend is the judge of the Water Officials' Academy, and he is in charge of the law of the Dao children of the Water Officials' Academy."

Li Chengjing suddenly realized that Guo Xiaoqian, a friend, specializes in playing with Taoist hands.

I didn't have time to visit the various prestigious sacrificial buildings in the Sanguan Temple, so I was pulled by Guo Xiaoqian through the verandahs of various courtyards and came to a very clean corner, and as soon as I got closer, I heard Lang Lang's reading.

Guo Xiaoqian didn't go in, but found a Taoist priest and whispered something, and the Taoist priest walked in.

Guo Xiaoqian explained: "In the Taoist Academy, it is a place to teach the secrets of Taoist children, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to enter. ”

Soon, a dignified-looking middle-aged Taoist walked out, wearing a black Taoist robe, no different from other Taoist priests.

If it weren't for the acquaintance, it would be difficult to see their different status from the clothing.

"Brother Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time! Mo Jiu is so hard to miss it! ”

Guo Xiaoqian returned the salute with a smile, and then introduced: "This is the friend I made in the prison, Li Chengjing, who is now Langzhong of the Criminal Department. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the three officials are merciful, Mo Jiu has seen Li Langzhong."

"The three officials are merciful, Daoist Mo doesn't need to be polite, Li doesn't ask, Daoist doesn't blame him for disturbing the reunion of the two friends, Li is grateful!"

"Where is Li Langzhong, this is not a place for small talk, please come with me."

Mo Jiunan led the two to a water pavilion, where there were stone tables and chairs, and the three of them sat down.

There was a set of tea sets on the stone table, and Mo Jiu Nan poured a cup for each of the three of them, and it turned out to be hot tea.

"This is the lotus leaf tea that I planted in Sanguan Temple, it is very relieving the heat, please taste it."

Li Chengjing took it and took a sip, the tea was hot, the entrance was sweet and bitter, and there was a fragrance of lotus flowers that made people refresh.

"Good tea!"

Li Cheng exclaimed.

"Since it's a good tea, why don't you pour a cup for Poor Dao?"

At this moment, a clear voice came from the shore of the pond.

The three of them turned their heads to look and saw that the cuffs were embroidered with water and fire patterns, and the Taoist priest with a long sword on his back looked at the three of them with a smile.

Li Chengjing stood up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Tianshi, I didn't expect that the Heavenly Master would be here, please!" ”

The person who came was none other than the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Daoxian, who had a one-sided relationship.

Zhang Daoxian laughed, stepped directly on the surface of the pond, strolled over, and Guo Xiaoqian, who was watching, opened his mouth wide.

Ignoring Guo Xiaoqian's fiery eyes, Zhang Daoxian jumped into the water pavilion, sat next to Li Chengjing, and looked at Mo Jiuyan.

Mo Jiu smiled and poured a cup of lotus leaf tea for Zhang Daoxian.

After tasting the tea lightly, Zhang Daoxian said with a smile: "No wonder it can make the national teachers full of praise, it is really a good tea!" ”

Li Chengjing smiled and said: "Don't mention the name of the national teacher, in front of you, a true immortal, it's just a joke!" ”

Zhang Daoxian nodded, looked at Li Chengjing and said: "Mingtang's matter, Poor Dao has already heard what he said, although you killed him and desecrated his body, but also gave him the opportunity to reincarnate, in general, you are more kind to me than Poor Dao, and Poor Dao will not hold you responsible." ”

Li Chengjing was stunned for a long time.

He has always thought that Zhang Mingtang didn't know that he killed him, but now it seems that Zhang Mingtang actually always knew that it was Li Chengjing who killed him in the first place.

It's just that Zhang Mingtang has always pretended not to know.

Frowning and locking, Li Chengjing looked at Zhang Daoxian's face without the slightest hatred, thought for a long time, got up and bowed to Zhang Daoxian, and said: "Li Chengjing is really sincere to Longhu Mountain now. ”

When Zhang Daoxian heard this, he laughed wantonly.

"No wonder Mingtang is so fond of you, you are really smart, Hui Zhi Lanxin! It's a pity, a wrong step, a wrong step, and now you can't turn back, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Li Chengjing smiled: "What's wrong? The way of heaven is invisible, the way of heaven is boundless, right is the way, wrong is the way, all are the way. Why does the Taoist chief have to hold on to right and wrong? As everyone knows, when all laws return to the sect, my way is not the way of heaven? ”

When Zhang Daoxian heard this, he shook his head and said: "Since the three Qing Dynasty returned to their positions and the six emperors were established, this Heavenly Dao is not the Heavenly Dao. Do you know why Taoism is declining, and Taoism is flourishing, and that's why. Since there is a Lord in the sky, there is a difference between good and evil, and the Taoist set is already wrong. If the heart is not good, and the action is wrong, one wrong step, every step is wrong. Right is right, wrong is wrong. ”

Li Chengjing was stunned for a long time.

Zhang Daoxian's words are extremely informative.

Li Chengjing was about to ask, but Zhang Daoxian had already diverted the topic and said: "With your character, you will not go to the Sanbao Hall for nothing, and you will definitely not come to the Sanguan Temple to drink tea and make friends, and talk about elegance." It's better to talk about it, and let the poor road see what bad ideas you want to fight! ”

Li Chengjing ignored Zhang Daoxian's sarcasm, but sat down and said: "Since the Taoist has already asked, Li, a junior, naturally does not dare to hide it. ”

So Li Chengjing got straight to the point and told the establishment of the Demon Town Division and the idea of requesting the major sects to send disciples to the Town Demon Division.

In fact, Li Chengjing also wanted to take the opportunity to try if he could let Longhu Mountain send disciples out.

As the vanguard of demon suppression and demon suppression, if the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master can join the Demon Suppression Division, it will be an example for the Xuanmen monks in the world, and it will be much easier for him to invite other sects later.

Zhang Daoxian listened patiently, and Guo Xiaoqian on the side heard that Li Chengjing had successfully invited Wuxiang Temple to agree to join the Demon Suppression Division, and his mouth was about to open and dislocate in shock.

On the contrary, Mo Jiuyan on the side has been calm, and his expression has not changed at all.

After Zhang Daoxian listened, he looked at Li Chengjing with a complicated expression.

"Although I already know your personality from Mingtang, it seems that Mingtang still underestimates you. I don't know how to evaluate you, although I am seeking good results, but why do you have to go down the wrong path? ”

"What do you mean by this?"

Mo Jiu Nan suddenly spoke.

He looked at Li Chengjing and asked, "Since Li Langzhong is a fellow Daoist, then there is no need to hide the poor Dao, dare to ask Daoyou, who is the biggest demon in the world?" ”

Li Chengjing shook his head when he heard this.

Mo Jiu smiled and pointed at himself, Zhang Daoxian, Li Chengjing, and the direction of the palace.

"As far as the ordinary people in the world are concerned, we are the biggest demons in the world."

Zhang Daoxian nodded without the slightest surprise, took over the conversation, and said: "What you are thinking, Poor Dao naturally understands, integrate the power of the Xuanmen in the world, wipe out all the harmful demons and monsters in the world, and return the world to a bright future." But you forget who the real demon is. It's not those demons who eat people and kill people, but people like you and me who stand on the heads of mortals. Those demons and monsters are just a buffer between big demons like you and me, with them, the court will not do anything to us, and we can also use these demons to restrain the human court, release goodwill, and ease contradictions. ”

"Have you ever thought that if the world is clear and there are no more demons and monsters, we will not only lose the role of Xuan Xiu for the imperial court, but also a big trouble for them, when the time comes, how can the human court let us continue to ignore it."

"The battle of Xianfan is inevitable, and when the time comes, the lives will be ruined, and it is not the people who will die the most. Demons and monsters eat people, and they can eat a few people. And if we eat people, it's not a matter of a few people! Mo Jiu interjected again.

And Guo Xiaoqian on the side was already covered with cold sweat, trembling, his eyes were beaded, and he fainted with fright!

As he fell, the conversation of the three was also interrupted.

Li Chengjing was silent, looked at the two of them, and said quietly: "Zeng Mengxian traveled to the rivers and lakes, who would have thought that the world would be thieves!" ”
