"What, you say that Zhang Xuanqing is in Chang'an?" Xuandu Temple, one of the only two remaining avenue temples in Chang'an City, Pan Shi was returning from going out, and suddenly heard several Taoists talking about Zhang Xuanqing's news.

Since he followed Li Daoli to Chang'an, he has not looked for Zhang Xuanqing, but Zhang Xuanqing is either practicing martial arts in the mountains, or farming in the mountains, at most he goes to the Banshan Pavilion, Pan Shizheng is inquiring and inquiring, and he is not sure that Zhang Xuanqing is not in Chang'an.

Because there was no news of Zhang Xuanqing in other places, he simply stayed in Chang'an temporarily.

Two months ago, Tang Emperor Li Yuan issued an edict ordering the world's monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and female crowns to move to the big temple. Pan Shizheng was alone, so naturally he couldn't help but obey, so he moved to live in Xuandu Temple.

Originally, he already thought that Zhang Xuanqing would not come to the capital, but he didn't expect to hear Zhang Xuanqing's news again from several young Taoist priests today.

Now Pan Shizheng's status in the Xuandu Temple is not low, because he inherited Wang Yuanzhi, and he himself is also mysterious, and he preaches the Tao in the temple every few days. Although he does not have any position in the Xuandu Temple, he is still quite respected.

There were several young Taoist priests who were gathering together to talk about Zhang Xuanqing, all of whom were disciples, and when they saw Pan Shizheng, the "uncle" with profound Taoism, they rushed to answer one by one.

"Yes, Uncle Shi, do you also recognize that Zhang Zhenren?"

"I heard that half a month ago, that Zhang Zhenren was mistakenly arrested by the county order for exposing the deception of a Taoist priest named Bairen. ”

"That's right, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't have known that Xuan Qingzhen actually came to Chang'an City!"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Shi, I also heard that Zhang Zhenren was caught by a junior general the next day to join the army...... Soldier...... In short, I heard the people in the city say that Zhang Zhenren has extraordinary martial arts, and he knows how to thunder the law, and with his fingers, he heard the earth-shattering explosion, and the enemy general who opposed him immediately broke the Daguan knife in his hand into two sections. ”

"What is this, I also heard that King Qin was furious because of this and scolded Cao Xianling, who had caught Zhang Zhenren by mistake. ”

"Uncle Shi, do you think that Zhang Zhenren is really a heavenly immortal?"

"Yes, uncle, I heard the people present that day say that the Bainin Daoist who was exposed by Zhang Zhenren said at the time that Zhang Zhenren should have gone down to earth without permission and committed a crime! Although Zhang Zhenren exposed him as a liar, many people speculated that it was Zhang Zhenren's spell, which was higher than the spell of the Bainina Daoist, deliberately making people think that the Bainin Daoist was a liar, so they didn't believe his words!"

“......”

A few young Taoist priests gossiped, you said a word to me, and the rumors I heard in the past few days, whether true or false, were all told, and even added some of their own guesses.

Don't look at the fact that there is no Internet, newspapers or anything in this time and space, but they are idle and fine, and the gossip is not slower than that of later generations. Especially about some famous monks, Taoist priests, literati, courtesans and the like, they can be used as a conversation after cooking.

However, in the words of several Taoists, they were quite flattering to Zhang Xuanqing, which felt extremely harsh to Pan Shizheng's ears. With a cold snort, he interrupted them and said, "What Zhang Zhenren and Zhang Zhenren are just a liar who deceives the world and steals his name! Also, the matter of King Qin's military advice a few days ago is also something that we people outside the world can talk about?

Several little Taoist priests looked at each other, never thinking that Pan Shizheng would be this reaction.

One of them had a clever head, and he thought of hearing from the elders that this Uncle Pan had inquired about Zhang Xuanqing, and it seemed that he had a holiday with Zhang Xuanqing. Immediately shrunk his neck, and when he saw that a companion was still arguing, he hurriedly grabbed him and gave him a secret look.

Seeing the reaction of several people, Pan Shizheng's anger subsided slightly, and his expression softened a little: "Okay, Poor Dao is just a warning to you, you can say what you should say, you can't say what you shouldn't say, be careful that disaster comes out of your mouth in the future." ”

"Yes! Obey my uncle's teachings!" several young Taoist priests agreed in unison.

Pan Shizheng's expression became more and more kind: "Since this is the case, let's talk about it again, what else do you know about that Zhang Xuanqing? Do you know where he lives?"

Several little Taoist priests looked at each other again, and one of them said, "Master...... Uncle Shi, you won't be ...... Trouble him...... I heard that he is a real person from the upper realm...... In case of...... In case ......"

"What if, what if I'm injured by him?" Pan Shizheng's face froze again, and he snorted coldly: "Forgive him for not having that ability!"

"Yes, yes, what Uncle Shi said is, it's all because the disciples can't speak. The little Taoist priest shrank his head and hurriedly apologized, but secretly said in his heart: I'm not afraid that you will be injured by him, but I am afraid that you will be killed by him directly!

How could Pan Shizheng know about such mental activities, only to see him say with a straight face: "Don't say more! Let me ask you, do any of you know where that Zhang Xuanqing has gone since that day, and where he lives?"

A few little Taoist priests, you look at me, I look at you, and none of them dared to step forward and reply.

After a long time, seeing that Pan Shizheng's face was getting heavier and heavier, someone finally couldn't hold his breath and said, "Uncle Hui, that Zhang ...... Sheet...... Xuanqing, we haven't heard of where we went. ”

"Really?" Pan Shizheng frowned slightly, his face suspicious.

"Really, really!" the little Taoist priest nodded hurriedly.

The companion on the side also helped: "Uncle Pan, what did we lie to you." Not only us, you went to the city to inquire around, and knew that Zhang Zhenren appeared in the capital a lot, but he really hasn't appeared yet. ”

"Why is that?" Pan Shizheng was puzzled.

The little Taoist priest also shook his head and said, "How does the disciple know, I heard that Zhang Zhenren doesn't want to be disturbed." Besides, if a character like him wants not to be found, wouldn't it be simple to pinch a trick, recite a spell, and cast a spell?"

"Hmph!" Pan Shizheng snorted coldly again, and said with an unswerving face: "You are also a person in the Taoist sect, you should know that my Taoist practice, the first priority is Taoism, as for what to pinch a trick, cast a spell, and recite a mantra, but it is just a small Daoer." Besides, Zhang Xuanqing's name of 'Immortal' should not be deserved, and it needs to be said twice, whether it will be a real spell or not, it may not be!"

"Yes, yes, what Uncle Shi said is reasonable!" The little Taoist priest didn't dare to refute, but he couldn't stand it from saying a word, and Master Pan was training a word. After speaking, he immediately saluted and said, "Uncle Pan, the disciple just remembered that the master was still waiting for the disciple to go back, so he won't accompany you." As soon as he finished speaking, several others hurriedly echoed, this one said that the master was waiting, and the other said that he was going to go to the street, and he would be clean in a short time.

Pan Shi's face was even more displeased, but he was not angry with a few juniors. After everyone left, they immediately pinched their fingers and calculated.

However, Yuan Tiangang couldn't calculate Zhang Xuanqing's fate, so how could he, Pan Shizheng, calculate Zhang Xuanqing's location? After calculating for a long time, he found nothing, and he stomped his foot fiercely in anger, hating him in his heart.

Zhang Xuanqing, I will definitely expose you to your face!
