Chapter 123: The Door God
Helped Li Shimin up and pressed Li Shimin to the seat and sat down, Zhang Xuanqing's head was still a little confused: the dignified "Emperor of the Ages" and "Heavenly Khan" actually let themselves kneel in a flicker?
Don't be so exciting!
On the other hand, Li Shimin is full of gratitude to Zhang Xuanqing, if it were not for Zhang Xuanqing's words today, even if he could figure it out, he would not know how much condemnation and torture he would have to suffer during the period. Therefore, after getting up, his face was still full of respect, and he swore an oath: "Today's people promise the real people that he will ascend the throne one day, and he will live up to the teachings of the real people! If the people of the world have the slightest merit in the future, it will depend on the teachings of the real people today, and please let the real people worship the people again." As he spoke, he got up again and took a deep look.
Zhang Xuanqing is so proud in his heart, Li Shimin will also have his own contribution to becoming the Heavenly Khan in the future? We can also go down in history? Well, we are not ready yet. smiled hypocritically and excused himself, but in fact, he half-pushed and half-agreed, and accepted Li Shimin's salute.
After a salute, Li Shimin suddenly sighed again: "But a real person, no matter what merit or reason, the evil things I have committed have already been ...... I wonder if the real person can promise the people of the world to spend more time for my brothers, brothers and nephews? They are pestering me like this now, as if they are lonely ghosts, and the people of the world are really ...... It's really hard to have a good conscience!"
I think it's a nightmare and I can't sleep! Zhang Xuanqing pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "Taoism doesn't pay attention to excess, excesses are the business of those monks...... Suddenly, his heart moved, and he changed his words: "Actually, it is very simple to let the prince and the king of Qi reincarnate and no longer stay in the world, but it requires seventy-seven and forty-nine days of law. ”
"Ah, it takes so long, how can this be a good ......" Li Shimin was a little worried, he could be tortured a lot these days.
Zhang Xuanqing said with a smile: "King Qin, don't be impatient, the poor road hasn't finished yet." If King Qin wants to stop being harassed by them before this, it is not impossible. ”
"What's the solution? Please come quickly!" Li Shimin couldn't wait to interrupt here.
Zhang Xuanqing said unhurriedly: "I don't know if King Qin has heard of it, people are afraid of evil ghosts, and ghosts are also afraid of evil people? God is right, ghosts are evil, gods are yang, and ghosts are yin. Therefore, all the ghosts and monsters are afraid of the prosperous and murderous people on their bodies. And everyone in the world knows that the most murderous person in the world is none other than the military. King Qin was originally a tiger general in the army, if it weren't for the fact that he was too close to the deceased, the prince and the king of Qi would also have too deep resentment, and they would not be able to enter the body of King Qin at all. Therefore, as long as the King of Qin finds two more tiger generals, such as Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, with weapons in hand, standing outside the door to keep vigil, he can naturally have no worries all night. ”
This is the origin of the door god, before the Tang Dynasty, the door god was generally served by the gods and Yu Lei, but after the Tang Dynasty, it was basically changed to Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong. It is rumored that because Emperor Taizong Li Shimin killed his brother and killed his brother, he had a loss in virtue and a loss in his heart, and he was disturbed by nightmares every night and had restless dreams. In the end, they couldn't stand the torture, so Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong put on armor and weapons every night, guarding the door on both sides of the palace gate, and sure enough, there was nothing to do every night.
Originally, Zhang Xuanqing didn't want to care if Li Shimin slept well or not, after all, he was also blind to ghosts and gods, and what he just said was pure nonsense. But thinking of the legend of the door god, and then thinking that Li Shimin will be the emperor in the future, even if there are ghosts and gods, he should not dare to disturb him.
Even if he guessed wrong, it was really Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's unjust souls who came to ask for Li Shimin's life, and it was a big deal that he went into battle shirtless and fought with them. Anyway, I have a congenital ability to catch ghosts, but I am afraid of a few dead ghosts?
Li Shimin didn't know that he was fooled by someone with bad character again, and the current Li Shimin was not the famous Emperor Taizong of the Heavenly Khan in later generations. originally had a lot of respect for Zhang Xuanqing, coupled with the aura of "immortal" on Zhang Xuanqing's body, as soon as he heard Zhang Xuanqing say it, he immediately believed it.
It can be believed and believed, but he pondered for a while, and still frowned again: "Isn't there a way for the real person? According to what the real person said, Shubao and Jingde are going to fight outside my door for 7749 days, how dare the people of the world sleep for themselves and work hard for them!"
Zhang Xuanqing clapped his hands and smiled: "This is easy to do, in fact, ghosts are all resentment condensation, and sometimes they are very stupid." The King of Qin only needs to ask General Qin and General Wei Chi to put on armor and hold weapons outside your door, stand for the night, and then find a clever painter to paint a portrait of the two of them. It is not required to be similar, as long as it looks like, but remember that the expression painting is fierce, and the armor and weapons must be complete. When such a ghost saw the portrait, he thought that the two generals were keeping vigil for the King of Qin, so he naturally did not dare to approach. ”
"It's so simple?" Li Shimin was stunned for a while, and finally became a little suspicious.
Zhang Xuanqing had an expression of belief on his face, and nodded solemnly: "It's as simple as that!"
......
The two chatted for a while, and Li Shimin proposed to leave, and when Li Shimin was leaving, Zhang Xuanqing said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness King Qin needs to be careful when he goes back, after you ascend the throne, there is still a catastrophe waiting for you to solve." "But what kind of catastrophe, let Li Shimin ask again, and he won't say anything.
Seeing Li Shimin away, Yuan Tiangang came back from the backyard. didn't ask Li Shimin about his intentions, after living for such an age, he still knows that there are some things to ask and some things to ask that should not be asked.
But as to how Zhang Xuanqing knew Li Shimin, Yuan Tiangang was really curious, so he asked: "Brother Dao practices in the temple every day, and rarely goes out, why do you recognize King Qin?"
Zhang Xuanqing glared at him angrily: "It's not that you don't like to listen to me play the piano, and you drive me to the Banshan Pavilion all day long, don't you just meet a bosom friend." ”
Yuan Tiangang: "......" sounds very unreliable.
"By the way, Lao Yuan, I've been here for a long time, it's time to go out and take a look around. I will tell you in advance, and when I leave, I won't say hello to you. Zhang Xuanqing didn't care whether the other party believed it or not, and suddenly said again.
Yuan Tiangang was stunned when he heard this: "Why did Brother Dao want to leave?"
Zhang Xuanqing said: "It's nothing, it's just that there are some things to investigate." In fact, I wanted to leave for a long time, but I haven't been too lazy to move. Now calculated, I've almost seen the excitement of Chang'an, so I'll walk around, take a look at this great river and mountain, and study feng shui or something by the way. "Of course, the most important thing is to see where there are ghosts, of course, there is no need to say this to Yuan Tiangang.
Since he met Yuan Tiangang, Zhang Xuanqing has asked the other party countless times whether he has seen ghosts, and the other party has always replied - no. Anyway, it can't help much, so it's better not to say it, so as not to worry about the other party or something.
Yuan Tiangang wanted to persuade again, but as soon as he opened his mouth and said the word "this", he was interrupted by Zhang Xuanqing: "Needless to say, Daoyou, I have made up my mind, and there will be a feast that will not be dispersed in the world, besides, you and I may not have a day to meet in the future." When you've had enough of wandering around the poor road, the poor road will come back. Moreover, the poor road is not to leave now, and there is still one thing that has not been done before leaving. ”
“...... It's okay!" Yuan Tiangang couldn't persuade him, and he no longer insisted, and asked, "What is Brother Dao going to do, is there anything you need help from Poor Dao?"
"No, just write a few books silently, and I'll do it myself. Zhang Xuanqing looked at the direction of Chang'an City, and his smile was extremely playful.
At the same time, in Chang'an City, there was a Taoist priest who was a little angry.
