I opened the Taoist Temple in Datang
Chapter 45
Zizhou.
The city got its name because it is close to the Zishui River. Although it is a small county, there are a lot of merchants coming and going.Li Miaozhen saw a signboard of Chang'an Antique Soup hanging in a restaurant, and couldn't help being surprised: "It's all spread here!"
Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and she said in a milky voice, "Boil mutton, wine!"
They were vegetarians every day in Maoshan, and they went in after smelling the smell of mutton.Although it was a scorching hot day, the Accord on the second floor of the restaurant was exceptionally cool.
Li Miaozhen looked at the icebergs at the four corners and sighed, "Your store is really rich."
The waiter in the shop was surprised: "Don't you know who my master is? Oh, there is no one richer than him in this world except the emperor!"
She wondered, "Could it be Chang'an Wang Yuanbao?"
"The Daoist has good eyesight."
Recalling the glazed shops on both sides of the neighborhood, Li Miaozhen suddenly realized, no wonder she felt the name of Zizhou was familiar, it turned out that this is a place rich in colored glaze.At that time, Caibo Xingjun entrusted Mengwang Ergou to give him an ingot and asked him to come to Zizhou to resell colored glaze.
Taking advantage of the gap before the mutton hot pot was served, Li Miaozhen asked tentatively, "Master Luo, have you figured out where the hammer is?"
Luo Gongyuan shook his head slowly.
This is strange.A person who is good at teleportation and deduction, why can't he know anything when he is with her?She thought so but didn't say it, but Xiaoli couldn't hold back her words: "Wow, Master Luo, why did you act like a mortal when you were with our princess?"
On the way, Xiao Li had long been displeased with him, and had nothing to say to chat with the princess!Fortunately, it was alert and successfully squeezed into the middle of the two every time.
Luo Gongyuan had no choice but to explain: "The hammer that your master asked you to find is the treasure of heaven and earth that has been missing for thousands of years. This kind of treasure cannot be deduced."
"Is it such a powerful hammer?" Li Miaozhen said in surprise, "Then what is the use of the fishing drum?"
"These two magic weapons used to belong to the same person, and they faintly resonate." He pondered for a moment, and said, "Wait a minute, maybe I can talk about my feelings, maybe I can get some clues."
Daoqing is a unique folk folk art. It is mainly performed by Taoist priests beating fishing drums and singing classics with Taoist rhymes to persuade the world.Zhang Guo carried Yugu on his back all year round, and occasionally sang a few lines to Li Longji, but the effect was comparable to playing the piano to a cow.
"Is it street love?" Li Miaozhen glanced at the pedestrians in the neighborhood downstairs, feeling a little psychologically stressed.
Luo Gongyuan said: "Otherwise?"
She whispered: "I'm not very good at..."
"It's okay, I'll come." He smiled at her lightly, as if he didn't care about performing on the street at all.
Seeing his fearless face, Li Miaozhen couldn't help sighing, a god is a god!In the past, did I have too much prejudice against him?
……
After coming out of the restaurant, Luo Gongyuan couldn't take his eyes off, and walked directly to the deep alley behind the neighborhood.
Li Miaozhen was able to catch up with him quickly. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around, she said in surprise, "Hey, hello! Immortal Master Luo, don't you want to show love?"
Walking into the deserted alley, Luo Gongyuan finally stopped, calmly said: "Yes, it's right here."
Li Miaozhen:? ? ?
She was wrong, the gods also want face.
The alley is very narrow, with folk houses on the left and Heishuigou on the right, and at most only two people can walk side by side.Luo Gongyuan randomly found a stone and sat down, and took out the fishing drum from his sleeve.
Since his face has grown a few years old, he has become more and more handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary appearance.Li Miaozhen heard that gods can change their appearance at will, and the appearance they choose is related to their state of mind.
Luo Gongyuan was wearing a Taoist robe, he held the fishing drum in his arms, and began to sing the poem taught to him by Zhang Guo in a serious way with Taoist scriptures:
"Cultivated into a golden bone and refined to return to the truth, the remains of the Dongsuo are not counted as spring."
"..."
However, his singing was unremarkable, and Li Miaozhen was even a little drowsy.In the end, it was not Luo Gongyuan who woke her up, but a passer-by who dropped a Kaiyuan Tongbao.
The copper plate fell to the stone floor with a crisp sound, and the two looked at each other, very embarrassed.
"Is there a sense?" Li Miaozhen asked.
Luo Gongyuan shook his head in confusion: "How about I sing it again?"
"No, I'll try." Li Miaozhen saw that there was no one around, and suddenly a great idea popped up in his mind.Daoqing, it doesn't have to be singing Taoist classics, it can also be poetry!
So, the adapted saliva song should also work, right?
She took the Yugu enthusiastically, thought for a while, patted the Yugu, and sang in a cheerful tone: "Old Yugu, take me, I want to find a sledgehammer. Old Yugu, listen to me, I want to find a sledgehammer. Maoshan came to Zizhou, I came here to find a sledgehammer. Alili, Alili, Alilili"
The tune was so cheerful that she almost couldn't help shaking her legs, but finally held back.
Li Miaozhen sang so happily that she sometimes got carried away.The power of folk songs is very powerful, time, even Luo Gongyuan's mind is filled with this melody.
She was immersed in the joy of folk songs, and suddenly, Luo Gongyuan said softly: "The Yugu has changed!"
A faint yellow light emanated from the fishing drum, and Li Miaozhen immediately stopped singing and observed intently.The light escaped from the fishing drum, flew into the air, and then ran straight in this direction.
Luo Gongyuan put his arms around her shoulders: "Let's go!"
In the next moment, the two of them disappeared without a trace, only Xiaoli was left crying in place: "Hey, princess, Master Luo, where are you going!"
Teleported to the front of Liuli Shop, which is also the place where the light finally disappeared.
After Li Miaozhen landed, she subconsciously took two steps away from him and retracted the Yugu into the space.She looked back: "Where's Xiaoli?"
Luo Gongyuan said indifferently: "Don't worry, this place is not far from the place just now, it will follow your breath to find it."
She groaned, walked out from under the eaves, and looked at the glazed shop.Obviously, this is the tallest building in Zizhou, with green tiles and double eaves, very grand.
The people who come in and out of this shop speak different accents from different places, and most of them are businessmen who buy goods.Li Miaozhen took the lead and walked in, and saw that the lobby was as high as two floors, countless crystal clear, green and golden colored glazes were placed on high shelves, looking up, it seemed like entering a crystal palace.
The shelves and furniture in the store are made of huanghuali or purple purlin wood, with exquisite patterns carved on them.She just stepped in, and immediately an enthusiastic apprentice came over, respectfully and politely said: "What does the Taoist priest want to see?"
She subconsciously said: "Look around casually. Wait a minute," she stopped the little apprentice: "Is your master surnamed Wang?"
The apprentice looked her up and down, and said in disbelief: "In all Zizhou, who knows that my master's surname is Wang? The Taoist priest must be too ignorant!"
He was about to say more, when someone behind him surprised and said, "Erjiu...Lang?!"
Seeing him suddenly, Li Miaozhen was also very pleasantly surprised: "Wang Ruyi! Are you also in Zizhou?" Isn't the smiling nobleman in brocade clothes in front of him the Wang Ruyi of Chang'an City!
The apprentice hurriedly retreated, and Wang Ruyi greeted her with a smile on her face, so it was not a place to talk, so she asked her to go upstairs.Li Miao really wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered that Master Luo was following behind her.
She looked back, and the other party really looked a little unhappy.
Wang Ruyi also saw him, the Taoist priest who was following the princess had a man-eating look in his eyes.He couldn't help asking: "Er Jiulang, who is this?"
"Oh," Li Miaozhen said calmly, "my uncle. Uncle, shall we go upstairs?"
Luo Gongyuan was not very happy that he got such a big hat from Master Uncle for no reason.He glanced at Wang Ruyi lightly and said, "Okay."
However, this gaze was like counting buckets of ice in a cold day, making Wang Ruyi's smile stagnate, and she didn't dare to think about anything.
Several people met upstairs in the Accord, and Xiaoli also ran back, sleeping quietly under Li Miaozhen's lap.
"It's been three or four months since I left the princess. I didn't expect to see you again in Zizhou." Wang Ruyi brought them tea in person. He knew that Li Miaozhen's temperament didn't need too many rules.He laughed and said, "I told my father that I wanted to open an antique soup restaurant in Zizhou, so I arrived in Zizhou a month ago."
"My uncle and I have already been there." Li Miaozhen praised a few words, and then asked: "How is Chang'an City?"
Wang Ruyi had long expected that she would ask this question, so she calmly told the recent situation in Chang'an City.Since she left, the emperor has paid more and more attention to Anlu Mountain, which is far away in the frontier, and has sent many important officials and princes in the court to visit General An in person.
As for the result of the condolences, Wang Ruyi does not know, he is just a businessman.
As for the Yang family, it gradually lost its former glory.The cause was that the noble concubine offended His Majesty the Emperor for some reason, and she was introspecting at the Yang family a few months ago. The Yang family was lost, and she was a little uneasy.Later, the emperor took the imperial concubine back again, and then he became arrogant and domineering again.
"There are more and more Zoroastrians in the city." Wang Ruyi still remembered that she had tracked down the matter, and complained: "Even my sister went to listen to the sermon with others. I hurriedly asked my mother to take care of her."
Li Miaozhen took a look at him, but he didn't have to be optimistic.
She thought about it for a while, and it seemed that the chicken head meat and stuffed crisps had indeed caused some indescribable psychological shadow on Li Longji, and her goal had been achieved.But he must not expect his conscience to find out that she still needs to do something.
"Princess came to Zizhou this time, what's the matter?"
"I'm looking for something." Li Miaozhen didn't think he was an outsider, and after unfolding the scroll, he asked, "Excuse me, have you seen this?"
Wang Ruyi looked at it carefully for a while: "My house has a lot of goods, including glass and other treasures. If the princess and the Taoist priest are not in a hurry, they will stay for two days first, and I will look for it slowly."
Seeing Li Miaozhen nodding, he smiled again: "Since you're in Zizhou, you can't let the delicious food and fun go. How about going to the theater tonight?"
She has everything: "Okay!"
……
The hundred operas of the Tang Dynasty are mainly based on acrobatics.
Of course, Wang Ruyi spent a lot of money to book the venue, but the lively atmosphere was gone.After watching a few boring programs of swallowing swords and standing upside down on the table, Wang Ruyi observed his words and said with a smile: "This small place may not be as good as the hundred operas in the palace, but comedians are not bad."
Hearing this, Li Miaozhen suddenly became energetic: "Really?"
He clapped his hands, signaling Haiku to come on first.
Haiyuu can be regarded as the bud of early comedy, with a little storyline, and it can make people laugh.Li Miaozhen watched with interest, she likes singing and dancing, and more like watching sketches.
However, today's story is a bit corny.It tells the story of a son of a powerful family, a monk told his fortune the year he was born, saying that his destined marriage was the daughter of a certain general's family.
The son's parents were very dissatisfied, thinking that the general's family was too vulgar, and there was no destiny marriage in this world.It just so happened that the son's father was promoted, and his family moved to other places, and it has been many years.
The son went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but unfortunately encountered a thieves, the servant was killed, and he escaped in a panic.On the way, he met a little lady who could dance with a sword, and under her protection, he arrived in Chang'an smoothly, and he fell in love with her deeply...
Later, the son's parents found out that the young lady was the daughter of the general's family back then, and the general's family was discussing marriage with her.The object of marriage negotiation is the little lady's cousin, and both parents are very satisfied...
Poor couple, they are about to be separated.Could it be that destiny marriage can't be together?
Seeing this, Wang Ruyi couldn't help turning her head to discuss the plot with them: "Princess, Taoist priest, what do you cultivators think of this so-called destiny marriage?"
Luo Gongyuan said in his heart, it is natural to obey the will of heaven, and attack everything without breaking it, so it goes without saying?
Li Miaozhen thought of Su Fa while watching the drama, and felt very unhappy, so she blurted out: "Of course I can't help my fate!"
The city got its name because it is close to the Zishui River. Although it is a small county, there are a lot of merchants coming and going.Li Miaozhen saw a signboard of Chang'an Antique Soup hanging in a restaurant, and couldn't help being surprised: "It's all spread here!"
