Chapter 141: The National Teacher in Retreat

The spring and day wind are fragrant and fragrant, and the bright jade dance is yaojue. Just as Li Ge and Hui'er were standing next to an ancient green tree in the garden in front of Yajing Pavilion to watch, Princess Chang'an hurriedly returned with a few palace maids with her.

"Master Xiao Li, the princess is back. When Hui'er saw the princess, she whispered to Li Ge beside her, and then the two greeted the princess together.

"Li Ge, you go with me to see my father. Seeing Li Ge walking out of the garden, the princess said a word, and then led Li Ge out of the courtyard of Yajing Pavilion, walked on the jade paved path, and walked towards another palace.

Not long after, Li Ge, under the leadership of Princess Chang'an, came to the gate of a palace that was larger than the Yajing Pavilion. This palace is called Yonghe Palace, and at the door of the main hall of the palace, there are more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids standing with their heads bowed.

"Let's go, Li Ge, my father and mother are now in Yonghe Palace. Walking to the door of the main hall of Yonghe Palace, Princess Chang'an said a word to Li Ge beside her, and then led him straight into the main hall.

Walking into the main hall, Li Ge saw a man about forty years old, dressed in a golden brocade robe, embroidered with a dragon on the robe, on the two luxurious chairs on the left side of the hall, with a majestic and domineering face. and a middle-aged woman of the same age, who is quite similar to Princess Chang'an in her eyebrows. The two of them were both smiling at this time, and when they looked at each other, they knew at a glance that they were a couple who had been together for many years.

"Xiaodao Li Ge, long live my emperor, meet the imperial concubine Niang Chitose. Li Ge bowed down to the couple sitting in the plush chairs, and said respectfully.

As for why Li Ge didn't kneel, this matter has to start with this Emperor Jiajing. Although this emperor was shrewd and capable, he also greatly admired Taoism and indulged in cultivating mysteries in search of immortality. Therefore, he once said that all cultivators in the world, if they see me, they can not perform the ritual of kneeling three times and bowing nine times.

"Chang An has seen his father and his mother. Chang An, who was beside Li Ge, bent down and saluted, and then the little bird ran to the emperor's side like a human and hugged his arm.

"Yes, you can enter the Zhenyi Division at a young age, and the little master is not simple. The Emperor stared at Li Ge for a moment, and then called out majestically to the door of the hall, "Give me a seat." Then the two palace maids walked into the hall, carried a wooden chair and placed it in front of Li Ge, and then retreated.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Xiaodao doesn't dare. Li Ge raised his hand and gave a salute, and stood beside the chair with his hands in his hands.

"It's okay, you saved the princess, and you deserve a seat. Besides, you are still an outsider, and you don't have to be bound by the courtesies of the world. The emperor put away his majestic demeanor and spoke plainly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Li Ge thanked him for the second word, and then sat down directly without pushing back.

"I heard Chang An say, are you here to find a national teacher?" After Li Ge took his seat, the emperor asked.

"Xiaodao is here, there are indeed some things that I want to seek help from the national teacher. ”

"I can arrange for you to meet with the national teacher, but he is in retreat now, and if you want to see him, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it until the beginning of May, after he is out of the country. ”

In this way, Xiaodao thanked the emperor. When Li Ge heard this, he thought for a moment in his mind, and then got up and saluted the emperor.

"Needless to say, you thaumaturgical warriors do not seek fame and fortune, and have solved countless strange disasters for the world, this small request, I will definitely arrange it for you. The Emperor smiled slightly, and then shouted to the door, "Someone, give me a token." ”

As soon as the words came out, a eunuch-like man walked up to Li Ge with a token and handed it to Li Ge.

"This token is a pass, you take this order, and when the national teacher leaves the customs and you enter the palace, you can pass freely. The Emperor looked at Li Ge, who had received the token, and explained.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the trail will leave first. Li Ge put away the token and thanked him for the third time.

"Go, at the beginning of May, you are entering the palace, and I will arrange it with you then. The emperor waved his hand, and after seeing Li Ge move out, he spoke to the imperial concubine beside him.

"Father, mother, then Chang An will also step back and not disturb your chat. Soon after Li Ge left, the princess saluted the emperor and the princess, and then went out of the house.

"Seeing that the emperor is so smooth, it seems that the current emperor is obsessed with immortality, and the rumors of respecting the Tao and respecting the Buddha are not false at all. It's just that my Guoshi card was only shown to the princess, and the emperor has never seen it, so he treated me so politely, it seems that the princess Chang'an must be very favored in front of the emperor. On the way out of the palace, Li Ge followed behind a palace maid, thinking secretly in his heart. Suddenly, a shout came from behind him.

"Lige, you wait. Princess Chang An shouted hurriedly and ran quickly to Li Ge's side.

"Dare to ask the princess what else is the matter?" Seeing that the princess was chasing after her, Li Ge stopped and asked.

"It's fine. The princess shook her head, took a breath and said, "Hui'er said that there is a Xisheng Inn on the straight street outside Xihua Gate, just stay in that inn, and when the national teacher is out of the customs, I will order someone to inform you." ”

"Thank you so much, princess. When Li Ge heard this, he said a word of thanks.

"No thanks, you saved Princess Ben today, so I can count it as a favor for you. The princess shook her head, and a stunning smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Okay, you go Li Ge, if you have free that day, I'll go and eat with you. ”

"Farewell!" Li Ge nodded in response, and then walked towards the Xihua Gate under the guidance of the palace maid.

Princess Chang'an looked at a dark green robe, and the thin back of Li Ge walked farther and farther, and finally disappeared into a corner of a garden, muttering to herself, "Li Ge!"

Walking out of Xihua Gate and walking on the spacious street, Li Ge glanced up at the sky and found that the sun was setting in the west at this time, and it was almost dark. I was about to find passers-by on the street to inquire about Xisheng Inn At that time, I found a signboard engraved with the four characters of 'Xisheng Inn' not far away, and immediately moved to the signboard.

"Little Er, arrange a room for me. Walking into the inn, Li Ge shouted, and then an eager junior ran to him. After some inquiry, he was given a room.

"The spiritual platform is gathered, and it passes through the mountains. The Lingtai is the guide, and it passes through the sea and river. Formless and formless, the breath sinks back to the spirit. Thoughts are nothing, and purity is being. Seven Spirits ......"

Sitting cross-legged in the inn's room, Li Ge silently recited the secret of cloth clothes over and over again, and before he knew it, it was the early morning of the next day. He got up and moved his bones, walked to the window and took a look at the lively street, and after washing up, he went downstairs and went out of the inn.

The streets of the capital are full of people. Li Ge walked alone in this city of Merson, strolling east and west, and before he knew it, he walked to the door of the food restaurant where he had eaten yesterday.
