At this time, it was getting late, and Hai Fugui and Xilan didn't stay on the street for long, so they went back to Chaotianguan directly.

There is someone in the palace, he is a Taoist, and he is looking for them. Hai Fugui got Xilan's reminder and realized that the white-bearded old Taoist in front of him was also a disciple of Shushan, or the same generation as the master, so he hurriedly saluted: "Ling Que, I've seen my uncle." ”

The voice of the white-bearded Daoist was a little old, and he said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, Daoist friends don't have to be polite, poor Dao Yuchong, since he took over this position of worship twenty years ago, he is no longer a disciple of Shushan, so this uncle does not dare to be a master." ”

"Why is that?" Hai Fugui couldn't help but ask.

Yu Chong: "Those who cultivate the Tao should stay away from the worldly glory and power, otherwise the Dao heart will be polluted, and the path of cultivation will stop at the end of the robbery." The two cannot be both, and accepting the imperial court is to automatically give up the pursuit of immortal Tao and give up the identity of a disciple of Shushan. ”

Hai Fugui found that the white-bearded Taoist in front of him seemed to be still wandering in the realm of refining gang, and couldn't help but feel admiration: "In order to protect the stability of the court, the stability of the world, and the stability of the people, the Taoist chief is willing to give up his own immortal path. After that, he solemnly bowed again, and shouted neatly, "Uncle Shi!" This time it was a rare seriousness for Hai Fugui.

Yu Chong smiled and said: "Daoyou is serious, the poor Dao is just greedy for the glory and wealth of mortal dust, how can there be such a noble Daoist as he said." ”

Could it be that he is thinking too much? Hai Fugui couldn't help but have a question in his heart. However, seeing that he is still called a poor man by the head, he must still regard himself as a disciple of Shushan deep down.

Yu Chong no longer paid attention to this trivial matter, and asked instead: "Daoyou, I don't know what arrangements the head of the family has for the canonization of the prince this time?" Yu Chong knew countless people, and he could see at a glance that among the men and women, the man was the one in charge, and asked Xiang Hai Fugui directly.

"Arrangement?" Hai Fugui shook his head and asked Xilan, "Senior sister, does the head of the senior uncle have any special arrangements?"

Xi Lan said with a blank face: "No! ”

This time, Yu Chong was at a loss, frowned, and said, "Strange, since the head of the sect has no special instructions, why did he send Daoist friends here?"

Hai Fugui said: "Is there a problem with this?" He didn't think there was any conflict or contradiction in this.

Yu Chong said: "Shushan has been the head of the Daomen over the years, and what it does is to represent the entire Daomen. If you have no opinion on the matter of canonizing the crown prince, you don't need to send someone to come, you just need to send a message to me with a flying sword, this has been the way for thousands of years, unless there is already a candidate for the position of the prince, you will send someone to come, and it has only been two or three times for thousands of years. ”

Hai Fugui was confused when he heard it, but he still found a big question: "Senior, can the Daomen still appoint the prince?"

Yu Chong replied: "That's not true, but the Daomen's opinion on the determination of the crown prince is still quite important, and the matter of appointing the prince has only been two or three times in thousands of years, and the emperors of all dynasties have listened to it." Yu Chong added, "But the Daomen rarely participate in the canonization of the crown prince. ”

Isn't this the same! Hai Fugui didn't expect the power of the Daomen to be so great, and he suddenly understood a little bit that the purpose of Yiqi sending him to participate in the crown prince's canonization ceremony on behalf of Shushan was to let him choose an emperor who he could see and would not hinder him from dealing with demons in the future. I couldn't help but feel a little panicked in my heart: "It's the first time I've encountered such a big business, alas, no, how can such a serious and grand thing be said to be a business? Oh, what if these princes come to bribe me? Do I accept it or not? How much do I collect? Do you collect the money? What about the beautiful women?......" There was no blind thought in his heart, but he didn't pause, and said: "But the head uncle didn't say it clearly, just let us come to the emperor's birthday banquet." ”

Yu Chong couldn't figure it out, so he muttered to himself for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, the head has a deep meaning, and we don't need to speculate." ”

Xi Lan didn't want things to complicate things, and said: "Yes, junior brother, we will follow the instructions of the head of the family and return to Shushan after attending the Shengshang's birthday banquet." ”

Hai Fugui became interested and asked, "The seniors are well-informed in the palace, do you know who the emperor will appoint as the crown prince?"

This is an extremely confidential matter, Hai Fugui asked casually, but he didn't expect Yu Chong to really answer: "The saint wants to make the third prince the crown prince, and when he heard that Shushan sent someone to come, he asked Poor Dao to come to communicate with Daoist friends about this matter, and wanted to hear the opinions of Daomen." ”

"Oh!" Hai Fugui didn't expect this emperor to be so polite, and his own affairs were discussed with me, so I reluctantly gave me an opinion for reference, and asked, "What do my predecessors think of these three princes?"

Yu Chong said slowly: "According to what Poor Dao has seen and heard in the palace over the years, these three princes have a benevolent temperament, cherish the people, are modest, humble to the officials of the court, treat brothers well, and their intelligence and ability are also the most outstanding among the five princes, and the other princes are usually very impressed by him. ”

After hearing this, Xilan nodded and said, "From what the predecessors said, the third prince will be a benevolent and loving prince, and it is very good to make him the crown prince." ”

In fact, Hai Fugui didn't care about how the third prince behaved, he only cared about whether anyone disobeyed him? Hearing the last sentence of Yu Chong's words, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, alas, the bribery matter is probably out of the question! ”

Yu Chong's purpose for coming here tonight was for this sentence, and at this time, he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and said: "Since Daoist friends have no objection to this matter, Poor Dao will return to the palace to resume his life." ”

After taking two steps, Yu Chong turned around and said, "I almost forgot, I'm old, and my memory is poor, so there's something I want to talk to you about?"

"Senior, please speak!"

Yu Chong groaned: "Recently, Poor Dao saw that there seemed to be traces of demonic activities in Chang'an City, and its cultivation was not low. Perhaps, the head of the sect had already calculated that he had learned about this, and he sent his fellow Daoists here to eliminate demons and slay demons. ”

Hai Fugui didn't believe that anyone could predict the prophet, at least the same unobtrusive head wouldn't, so this matter must have nothing to do with him, but since he came, he could still be a staff officer, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said in surprise: "It can't be that the demon wants to take advantage of the emperor's birthday banquet, there are many people, and he will take the opportunity to assassinate the emperor, right?"

"Impossible!" Yu Chong said, shaking his head.

"Why?" Hai Fugui asked puzzled.

Yu Chong hesitated for a while, and said: "There is no need to hide this matter from you, this is not a secret, thousands of years ago, in order to protect the emperor from being assassinated by demons, the great supernatural powers of the Daomen set up a 'Heaven and Earth Locking Array' in the palace of Chang'an City, this array is designed to restrain demons, and the power is huge, even the Demon Venerable who cultivates Mahayana does not dare to break in easily. ”

After hearing this, Xilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A formation can block the entry of demons, Hai Fugui had to admire the wisdom and supernatural powers of his predecessors, and muttered: "In this way, as long as the emperor does not leave the palace, it is absolutely safe?"

"Exactly!" Yu Chong affirmed, "at least for thousands of years, there has been no record of the emperor being assassinated by demons in the palace. ”

Hai Fugui couldn't understand why the demon would take a huge risk at this special moment and appear in Chang'an, Kyoto, the land of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, which the human race attaches great importance to?

When Yu Chong was about to walk out of Chaotianguan, Haifu chased after him and whispered a few words in his ear.

Yu Chong said with a shocked face: "Fellow Daoist, will it be a bit of a fuss?"

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, and you won't lose anything anyway. Hai Fugui said indifferently. Since I didn't know the other party's intentions, I had to defend more.

Yu Chong said: "It's just that the five princes have already reached adulthood, and they all opened mansions outside the palace, and it is unreasonable to move into the palace at this time." ”

Hai Fugui was most annoyed by these messy rules and etiquette, and said: "It's urgent to follow the power, and do extraordinary things in extraordinary times." Originally, he also wanted to take these Daomen disciples in Chaotianguan to dig a pit and ambush, considering that Yu Chong said that the demon cultivation is profound, so as not to sacrifice these disciples who have not achieved Jindan in vain, he didn't say it.

"Well, according to what Daoyou said, Poor Dao returned to the palace to invite the emperor to this matter. Yu Chong said.

In the next two days, Hai Fugui waited for other princes to send people to bribe, but unfortunately, looking through the autumn water, there was not even a figure. Hai Fugui secretly wondered in his heart: "Could it be that these princes are really so harmonious?" Or are the three princes really too good, and they have no temper to crush other princes in all aspects?"

Two days later, in the afternoon, someone finally came, still a rich son, Hai Fugui was overjoyed to go out to meet, and forgot to pretend to be reserved, who knew that he couldn't help but be disappointed at first sight.

"Brother Huangfu, why are you?"

Huangfu Zhuo saw that Hai Fugui's face suddenly became extremely disappointed, and he was shocked: "Could it be that Brother Hai is not a prophet and knows the purpose of my coming here?" The already hesitant mood became apprehensive again, and a big man actually twisted and said: "This, Brother Hai, the sky is clear today, the autumn is high and cool, the blue sky is full of white clouds, the spring breeze is blowing, the spring flowers are blooming, the wind is beautiful, the red delicate sun adds a touch of color to the sunny day, and the summer sun flows brilliantly like flowing water......"

"Huh......" Hai Fugui interrupted the poetic son of a long nasal voice.

"Huh...... Huangfu Zhuo smiled embarrassedly, cleared his throat, and said, "Brother Hai, the so-called, 10,000 taels of gold are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a confidant, you and I know each other, like-minded, and brotherly, so we should help each other and share weal and woe......"

"Speak human words!"

"Does Miss Xilan have a crush?" said Huang Fuzhuo quickly.
