I opened the Taoist Temple in Datang

In the afternoon of the next day, people in the palace of Anren picked up needles and threads and chatted about the "Qianniuwei's encounter with a ghost at midnight".

Li Miaozhen was also sitting on the side, and the palace people only regarded her as a child, so they told her the story after the story in the tone of telling a ghost story.It is said that a deceased concubine was jealous of Mrs. Taizhen's beauty, so she turned into a snow demon at midnight and hid in Chengxiang Hall to make trouble.

Qianniuwei was on patrol last night, and happened to encounter a resentful Snow Demon, who was unfortunately captured.At the critical moment, Jia Tianshi, who came smelling the evil spirit, sacrificed a fire talisman, and invited Emperor Xuanyuan to come to the world, and finally defeated the snow demon.

Li Miaozhen was taken aback when he heard that, why is the celestial master Jia?Didn't that boy call himself Luo?She changed her mind and thought again, forget it, as long as the Thousand Bull Guards don't confess themselves, she doesn't care what the celestial master's surname is.

It's just that this Chengxiang Palace seems to be really tricky.

Xue Cairen's voice came from outside the hall, and her health improved day by day.Li Miaozhen glanced at the wound on her finger, it had already started to scab.

There is nothing to do right now, she tilted her head and thought for a while, and decided to go to Guizhen to see the old lady of the audience.

The Tang Dynasty was good at Taoism, and there were many Taoist temples in the palace.

In the Taiji Palace where Li Miaozhen lives, there is a Guizhen temple. The unusual thing about this Taoist temple is that there are only female Taoist priests in the temple.The princesses of the Tang Dynasty often became monks for various reasons. The two most famous ones at the moment are the emperor's younger sisters, Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian.

They received scriptures in Guizhen Temple, and later built their own Taoist temple in Chang'an City.Princesses basically have their own Taoist temples, so Guizhen Temple is only a place for ceremonies.

In the past two years, Guizhen Temple has been very deserted, with only one old temple master and a few female Taoist priests who are not young.

After leaving the Anren Hall, go north and walk a few dozen steps to the mountain gate of Guizhen Temple.The mountain gate was ajar, so she opened it and walked in.

The white snow crushed the branches of wintersweet, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.Under the blue sky, the white snow in the Taoist temple has just melted, and the half-old red flags are blown by the wind.

Because there are few people, the view is also very quiet.In addition to wintersweet, a large piece of bamboo is also planted in Guizhen Temple. Last spring, Li Miaozhen came here to dig a lot of bamboo shoots.

She ran in bouncing around, turned around but didn't see the old temple master, and casually asked the female Taoist priest sweeping the snow: "Where is the temple master? Why don't you see her?"

"Reporting to the princess, Your Majesty ordered that all the Taoist priests who received the scriptures have gone to the Ganlu Hall." The female Taoist said softly.

"What's the matter?" Li Miaozhen asked curiously.She likes the old Guanzhu very much, she is more kind and normal than Xue Cairen.

The female Taoist said briefly, it turned out that the old temple master had gone to the Ganlu Hall to attend the commendation meeting.Last night Jia Tianshi angrily killed the snow demon and won His Majesty's appreciation. By the way, he called on all Taoist priests to learn from Jia Tianshi's progressive spirit.

Li Miaozhen: ...

She knew the truth but couldn't tell the truth, so she could only mutter in her heart, Tianshi Jia, is it a fake celestial master...

Li Miaozhen had no choice but to play with rabbits without meeting the old temple master.After playing, she suddenly thought, all the Taoist priests who received the scriptures have gone to the commendation meeting, so the boy must have gone last night, right?

The Temple of Ganlu is not very far from here, and she slipped there after a while.

……

The Ganlu Hall is full of colorful Taoist robes.

Taoist priests' Taoist robes seem to be related to their rank, Li Miaozhen doesn't understand very well, the old temple master usually only wears blue ones.She was too small for her height to see what was going on in front of her, and no one noticed her.

"Special, three hundred bolts of silk..."

Although there were many noisy people, Li Miaozhen could still hear the servant's high-pitched and thin voice.Inside, the rewards from His Majesty the Emperor to Tianshi Jia were being read out. There were so many things that the Taoist priests around were very upset, and they all complained about Tianshi Jia.

"I'm not good at casting spells, so I missed No.1. If it wasn't for his good relationship with that Qianniuwei, would it be his turn?"

"That's right, obviously I run faster."

……

Li Miaozhen glanced at them in surprise, although there are many Taoist priests in the palace, there are quite a few of them pretending to be fake.She found the sleepy old Guanzhu in the crowd, stood on tiptoe, and poked her hand with her little finger.

The old temple master was startled awake and startled.When he looked down and saw it was her, he was even more surprised: "Oh, little ancestor, why did you get here?"

"Looking for you?" She smiled sweetly, her eyes were like a pool of lake water.

The old temple master with silver hair looked up and led her to the corner.Before he had time to say anything in private, he heard a Taoist priest impassionedly say: "Your Majesty! If it weren't for your majesty's great achievements, the poor Taoist prayed day and night, set up an altar to cast spells, and An Youxue demon was captured without a fight. God bless the Tang Dynasty?"

The crowd was in an uproar, followed by echoes.

This compliment was so sweet, it not only emphasized Jia Tianshi's contribution to the emperor in removing the snow demon, but also hinted at his own hard work.Although Li Miaozhen couldn't hear what the emperor said, judging from the cheers of the crowd, they all got rewards.

The old temple master sneered: "Bah!"

It is said in the book that Li Longji liked to sing praises in his later years, and it seems to be true.Li Miaozhen rolled her eyes, and suddenly found that among the Taoist priests who closed the palace, only one was wearing purple clothes.

It's that boy.

In the corner on the other side of the Ganlu Hall, the young man who had met once at night leaned against the pillar, folded his hands and looked at the crowd, with a playful smile on his lips.Li Miaozhen didn't see his face clearly at night, but remembered his figure and clothes, this person was him.

The purple clothes set off his extremely white complexion, his unruly eyebrows and handsome facial features, Li Miaozhen couldn't help thinking in his heart: A man who wears purple must be gay purple!

At this moment, she didn't know what purple clothes meant in Taoist clothing.

Maybe he noticed her attention, the boy turned his face sideways, glanced at her, and smiled.Li Miaozhen's mind was full of thoughts, and a more strange and loving smile bloomed on his face.

Now it was the boy's turn to be confused.

He couldn't see through it, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in the girl's mind. This was a strange thing that almost never happened.It must be known that Zhang Guo and Ye Fashan couldn't play with him back then, but now he is in the hands of a female doll?

No matter how he wondered, Li Miaozhen didn't do anything, she noticed that this young man was out of tune with everyone.The Taoist priests in the palace, almost no one strikes up a conversation with him, and no one even approaches him.

The God of Plague is nothing more than that, right? !

The two of them looked at each other here, as if they were expressing "What are you looking at?" ?”

Li Miaozhen was obediently holding hands, raised her head and said, "Master Luo?"

"Heavenly Master Luo Gongyuan, a weirdo in the palace." The old temple master seemed to be a little afraid of the young man, bent his body, and whispered in her ear: "It's best not to provoke him."

"Oh." Li Miaozhen nodded.

After a while, she asked again: "Old Guanzhu, among the many Taoist priests in the palace, who is the most powerful?"

The old temple master said without hesitation: "Of course it is Mr. Zhang Guo. But," she sighed, "he has been away from Chang'an for many years..."

Zhang Guo?

Li Miaozhen thought for a while, hey, isn't Mr. Zhang Guo the legendary Zhang Guolao!

She was suddenly shocked. It turned out that all these rumored gods existed!

As soon as the commendation meeting ended, the old temple master hurriedly took Li Miaozhen away.

The old temple master took Li Miaozhen's little hand, and then turned to block her, as if he was afraid that Luo Gongyuan would kidnap and sell children.Walking in front of Yiqiu's gate, the old temple master suddenly stopped and said softly: "Princess, do you want to take a look at you?"

Her tone was both careful and full of pity, but Li Miaozhen's heart was not that fragile.Although the shell is a little girl of five or six years old, her soul is a big girl in her 20s.Li Miao really wanted to see what this bad old man looked like, so she turned her head away.

Not far away, the emperor's guard of honor can be seen at a glance.It's just that Li Miao really only has a back view, she can only see an old head shaking up and down.

The old age is her imagination, after all, now that His Majesty has a Taizhen lady, he should still be in a fierce state.Seeing that she hadn't looked back for a long time, the old temple master felt distressed, bent down and said: "Princess, don't be afraid, when your aunt Yuzhen comes to the temple, let's ask the eldest princess, maybe she is in a good mood and can help you in front of your majesty." say something."

In the eyes of the people in Anrendian and Guizhenguan, she is a poor little girl whose mother has disappeared. If she can't get the title of princess when she reaches the age, she will be in the same situation as Emperor Gaozong when Concubine Xiao Shu had two princesses under her knees.Therefore, winning the favor of the emperor or the eldest princess as soon as possible is the basis for her to settle down.

However, the emperor doesn't want to see her, so it's best for her to follow the path of the eldest princess.

Li Miaozhen understood this truth very early on, and she also wanted to leave the palace and leave this big prison.However, it has been three or four years since she traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Yuzhen has never been to Guizhen Temple once.

"It's all right!" She comforted the old temple master in a childlike voice, "I'm still waiting for the temple master to take me to become a fairy! Can you tell me the story of Mr. Zhang Guo?"

The old temple master was amused by him, and told her the legend about Mr. Zhang Guo, some of which Li Miaozhen had heard in the previous life.For example, riding a donkey backwards, beating fishing drums to persuade the world...

The old temple master also specially told her: "When you see Princess Yuzhen in the future, you can't mention Mr. Zhang Guo in front of her!"

"Why?" Li Miao was really puzzled.

The old temple master refused to say: "Anyway, I can't mention it!"

Li Miaozhen felt that this matter was not simple.But the old temple master refused to say, it's useless to let her act like a baby.An old man and a young man walked forward slowly, and before they crossed the Anren Gate, they heard noises in front of them, as if a palace man was shouting, there were chasing footsteps, and a group of people shouting.

She heard someone yelling loudly: "Hahahahaha, the emperor is going to accept his daughter-in-law as his concubine, and Princess Shou is going to change from a Taizhen lady to an imperial concubine!"

The voice was both excited and mocking, making it unpredictable.How could such a secret matter of the palace be revealed in such a big way?

Sure enough, when Li Miaozhen and the old temple master walked through the Anren Gate, they saw a palace servant being held up by several servants, gagged and dragged away.

No one noticed that under the bright sunlight, a golden ring slipped from her finger and fell into the snow in the corner of the wall under the struggle of the palace servants.
