Volume 1, Origin Chapter 033, The Faint Saint
After learning the news from An Yi, a disciple of the Misty Pavilion, Li Chengfeng quickly returned to the Great Ci'en Temple to find Master Xuanzang.
As soon as he entered the gate of the Great Ci'en Temple, he saw Xiao Qi also coming back, Xiao Qi saw Li Chengfeng running forward, panting and said, "I didn't find Master Xuanzang." ”
Li Chengfeng said: "Of course you can't find it, Master Xuanzang didn't leave, and was locked up in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple!"
Xiao Qi was shocked and said: "I really didn't expect that Master Xuanzang would be locked up under our noses! We should take action quickly, the longer the delay is, the more detrimental it will be to Master Xuanzang's safety." ”
Li Chengfeng agreed: "I heard that there are only a limited number of officers and soldiers in the Great Ci'en Temple, and this is the best time to rescue Master Xuanzang. ”
Xiao Qi said again: "Don't wait for your senior sister?"
"Don't wait, they won't let me do these things, after all, Tianmen Mountain can't be an enemy of the imperial court, but I won't be in the same league with them!"
After several searches, the two finally found it in a dilapidated room, but there were no guards, which made the two very puzzled.
Li Chengfeng couldn't estimate it so much, and stepped forward and said: "Master, we are here to save you, with the current view of the imperial court on Buddhism, you can't stay here, hurry up and follow us!"
Master Xuanzang refused: "I just did what a monk should do, I am not guilty and what is there to deliver, if I leave with you, it is not equivalent to confessing my guilt, the two young heroes are kind to the little monks, Amitabha." ”
At this time, those soldiers were coming, and there was no one just now because it was time for the changing of the guard, and now that the changing of the guard is back, it will be too late if you don't leave.
Xiao Qi said: "Since the master is unwilling to go, then let's retreat first and make plans." ”
After walking away, Li Chengfeng said: "It makes sense to just listen to Master Xuanzang's words, I think this matter is related to the plague, what does the plague have to do with the emperor, since all this is related to the emperor, it seems that we must go to the palace and talk to our emperor!"
Xiao Qi said: "How can the inner courtyard of the palace be so easy to enter. ”
Li Chengfeng said confidently: "Oh, the palace is still big in Qinghe Town, I can go wherever I want in Qinghe Town since I was a child, I don't believe that a palace can be difficult to live in me!"
Xiao Qitou laughed and said, "Are you really from Qinghe Town?"
"Nonsense, that's still fake!"
Xiao Qi said again: "Before I went down the mountain, Master Chang'an City had a Master Lu, who was upright, and Master was an old friend, and he could enter and leave the palace at will, he was from Qinghe Town like you, maybe you and him were close to him and he could take us into the palace!"
Li Chengfeng couldn't wait, and pulled Xiao Qi to find Lord Nalu.
On the way, Li Chengfeng said: "Don't you say that I have forgotten this adult, a few years ago he went home and went to my tavern to eat, we talked at that time, I don't know if he still remembers me, before my senior sister came back, I feel that this matter has been done." ”
I came to Chang'an City and found Lord Lu in Lu's Mansion.
Lord Lu recognized Li Chengfeng at a glance, and Lord Lu said: "You are Li Chengfeng, I went home a few years ago and went to your tavern to eat, and I also talked to you at that time." ”
Li Chengfeng was a little flattered after hearing this, and said: "Thanks to Lord Lu's love and remembering the villain, you are a role model for the people of Qinghe Town, and you are also an idol for children to learn." ”
Lord Lu said: "Haha, it's still as flamboyant as before, you don't help in the tavern, why did you come to Chang'an to play." ”
Li Chengfeng said: "I am not satisfied with you for saying that I have been worshiping Tianmen Mountain for half a year, and today I came to Chang'an because of a mission, and I also asked Lord Lu to help me and take the two of us to face the saint, for Xuanzang's teachings." ”
Li Chengfeng didn't say anything about the plague, even if it was related to the saint, but it was also a secret order, so it was inconvenient to say it.
Lord Lu was embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult to face the saint, but I have a good friend, he may be able to help, today he is above the city gate, I will write you a letter, you give it to him, it should be able to take you in." ”
After a long time, Li Chengfeng took the letter and did not move.
Master Lu asked, "Is there anything else?"
Li Chengfeng said: "I didn't say hello when I left home, compared to my mother's worry, please ask Lord Lu to ask someone to give my mother a letter, just say that we don't have to worry about me, and my mother doesn't want me to die on the battlefield like my father, so don't let me dance with a knife and a stick, so don't tell my mother that I have entered Tianmen Mountain to learn swordsmanship, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will explain to her face to face." ”
After hearing this, Lord Lu said: "It's rare that you have this filial piety, don't worry, I'll send someone to do it." ”
When Li Chengfeng came to the gate of the imperial city, he never expected that the person in Lu Da's mouth turned out to be General Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong saw the two of them and said directly: "Come on, take it for me!"
Li Chengfeng had no choice but to draw his sword to break through, shuttling back and forth among the entourage guards, and these guards were powerless to resist.
Xiao Qi shouted: "Li Shimin is mediocre, does not obey the will of the people, and obstructs Master Xuanzang's teachings, this is all an unprincipled behavior! Master Xuanzang just wants to make people good, and wants to make there no more wars in the world, and you are Li Shimin's close minister, not only do you not want to persuade you, but you lead the troops to help the abuse! I thought what kind of big hero Lord Lu recommended, but after making trouble for a long time, he was a fool with no eyes!"
These words angered the guards, but Qin Qiong laughed out loud and said: "Okay, it's a man, I have already discouraged me from preaching the Fa, but the saint is determined to go his own way, and besieging the Great Ci'en Temple is also the emperor's order, since you want to face the saint for this matter, okay, you come with me, I will take you there!"
Came to the Xuanzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, which is also the palace where the emperor summoned ministers.
Qin Qiong said, "Your Majesty, the minister recommended two people to you today. ”
Li Shimin, who was wearing a dragon robe, was very impatient and said, "I don't see you! I'm very tired today, and no one wants to see me!"
Xiao Qidao: "Just because of fatigue, don't you even want to listen to the people's suffering?"
Qin Qiong said: "You must not be rude in front of the saint!"
Li Shimin disagreed: "If today, under my governance, the people live and work in peace and contentment, how can we say that we are suffering?"
Li Chengfeng said: "The people participate in the Buddhist meeting with a good heart, but Your Majesty is in trouble everywhere, and it is not a wise move to govern it like this!"
Li Shimin was furious when he heard this, and said: "It's some thieves who intend to teach the country to rebel, come here, and unify these chaotic parties." ”
With the chorus of "Nuo", the forbidden army ran out.
When the palace guards saw Li Chengfeng and Xiao Qi, they hurriedly stepped forward and pointed their guns at the two of them.
Xiao Qi said in a low voice: "Look at the two of us, we are sent to the door, now they are swords, you and I are fish and meat, you can't fall in love with war, you must find a way to get out!"
The two cooperated tacitly, helped each other, supported each other, desperately fought their way out, and ran towards the outside of the imperial city.
At this time, Li Chengfeng thought in his heart, "I don't know how to resist swordsmanship, otherwise I wouldn't be so embarrassed!"
After escaping from the palace, Xiao Qi said: "When it comes to teaching the Fa, I only know that Li Shimin is mediocre, but I don't know that he is so mediocre!"
Li Chengfeng looked back and didn't see General Qin Qiong, so he wondered, "Huh, what about General Qin? Didn't he break out with us?"
