I opened the Taoist Temple in Datang

Heartbroken?

Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously thought, how could she fall in love with Lao Luo!

But there was another voice in my mind, speaking to her with a malicious tone: refuse to admit it?You hear how fast your heart beats, it's not like, what else?

Another low-pitched voice was quibbling: it's fear!

The former said calmly: Tsk tsk, old Luo Duo likes you, what is there to be afraid of.

The latter is getting weaker and weaker: Forget it, that was the past, and now he has probably given up...

The two voices disappeared, and Li Miaozhen's heart was empty.She lowered her eyelids sullenly, and said bravely: "Ajiao, don't talk nonsense."

"Princess has grown up, and she has something on her mind." After all, Ajiao is still the same Ajiao, she said with a little excitement: "Princess, there are some things, once born, second time acquaintance! Hug is nothing, as long as you want , I will take you to experience the realm of bliss!"

Xiaoli said: "Hey, are you going to eat boiled mutton?"

"What kind of boiled mutton, let's eat boiled boy."

Li Miaozhen: "..."

She repeatedly waved her hands and refused: "Cannibalism is illegal."

"Hey, who said that would be bad for you!" Ajiao looked at her bitterly, and whispered, "When you read Qianfan, you'll know that it's just a drizzle, and it's not worth worrying about."

It was rare for Ajiao to speak so philosophically and literaryly, and Li Miaozhen recalled the experience in the illusion with fascination.Although she was drunk at that time, her clothes were disheveled, and her face was completely lost, but the taste was like drinking sweet-scented osmanthus wine for the first time.In the end, it was like fireworks blooming, mesmerized and carried away.

It seemed that there was still his warmth on the collarbone, showing how absurd everything was.

Her face turned red again.

Seeing her lose her composure, Ajiao was startled again and again, covered her mouth and couldn't speak, and had been imagining in her mind for twelve hours.

……

The guards in Fanyang City were heavily guarded, and the guards checked their identities one by one at the gate of the city. In addition to the identity documents to pass the customs, they also looked at their appearance.

Li Miaozhen forged a document, and she looked like a Lite, so she got in smoothly.

Of course, she could have fallen directly into the city, but Li Miaozhen was worried about attracting the attention of the fire worship demon master, so she was cautious in her words and deeds.

The tall and mighty Lite soldiers guarded Fan Yang's square market and streets, and they would be questioned again when they entered and exited the square market.Seeing the tense atmosphere, Li Miaozhen knew that the current situation was not good for An Lushan.

She used the wall-penetrating technique to sneak into the workshop, walked around inside, and saw many red shrines of Zoroastrianism, but was blocked when she wanted to enter.

Li Miaozhen couldn't understand a word of what the disciple said to her.

It's over, she can't speak a foreign language.

She had no choice but to stamp her feet angrily, turned around and left.In Beiming, Li Miaozhen knew that the one enshrined in the red temple was not the God of Light, but the God of Darkness.

It's ironic when you think about it.

Because he didn't understand the language of the Lite people, Li Miaozhen had little to gain in Fanyang City. There are few Han people here, but most of the Lite people.At sunset, she returned to her tent on the moor.

Ajiao asked curiously, "Did the princess gain anything?"

"The security is tight, probably because I got bad news in Chang'an City." Li Miaozhen thought: "Otherwise, I should go to Chang'an to see the situation first?"

"I don't know what happened to Guizhen Temple." Ajiao thought about the past for a while.

Speaking of the concept of returning to the truth, Li Miao's heart was moved. She traveled all over the world and had nowhere to call her home, and she always felt a little bit adrift.However, to build a Taoist temple, you need money first.

She asked Ajiao: "Is there a sea nearby? Can I take whatever is in the sea?"

Talking about this, Ajiao understood very well, she said enthusiastically: "What does the princess want?"

"I'm short of money."

Ajiao said: "Then why don't you go to the casino?"

Li Miaozhen shook her head: "It's not good to gamble, I want to go to the bottom of the sea to cut some corals and get some pearls..."

Ajiao said disapprovingly: "What's the matter with the gambling house, I would like to admit defeat. But to us, the corals on the bottom of the sea are not very valuable, the important thing is their appearance. If the princess likes it, let's go and have a look in a few days."

After she finished speaking, she stared at Li Miaozhen's hand: "Didn't you buy wine today?"

"They said they were short of money just now." Li Miaozhen pointed to the hundreds of wine jars outside the tent, and said speechlessly, "You drink it yourself, and you spoiled Xiaoli."

Ajiao: "..."

They have lived here for a few days, and Li Miaozhen drew a map of Zhang Fanyang City.She set up another tent for herself and completely separated from Ajiao.

As night fell, she lay on the warm mattress and looked at the dark canopy. She wanted to sleep, but it was difficult to fall asleep.

The busy day can make her forget some things, but at the loneliest hour of the night, loneliness sweeps over, accompanied by a feeling of emptiness.

She wasn't like this once.

……

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away.

On a lonely peak in Shu, a Taoist priest in purple sat under the moon, drinking alone against the moon.The strong wine enters the throat, which can temporarily wash away some bitter feelings, so that the past will not recur so frequently.

Even when he was drunk, he never forgot to perceive the emotions conveyed by the bell tied around the lynx's neck. He was always very quiet and even joyful in many cases.

Of course he didn't know that the lynx was so happy because he could drink as much as he could and eat barbecue.

The lonely moon was covered by floating clouds, and the sky and the earth also lost their color.The only shadow that could accompany him also disappeared. Luo Gongyuan smashed the jug with his hands and walked away on the clouds.

Been away for many years, come home and check it out.

It was foggy in the morning.

Li Miaozhen got up and put away the tent. She planned to go to the bottom of the sea to find some corals, then go to Chang'an to see the situation, and finally go to Luoyang to find someone to learn the language of the Lite people.

She shouted: "Ajiao, get up!"

It was quiet in the tent, without any sound.

Li Miaozhen had a bad premonition, she lifted the curtain of the tent next door, went in and saw that there was only a sleeping pear inside.She woke up Xiao Li and asked, "Where's A Jiao?"

"Meow?" Xiaoli opened half of her eyes in a daze, and said, "I went out in the middle of the night! It is said that I went to the gambling house to earn money to buy wine."

After not returning all night, Li Miaozhen was a little worried.There are not many villages nearby, and the nearest village is only twenty or thirty miles away, and they have been there together.

She picked up Xiaoli, and flew over there in a hurry while sitting on the iron bird.

After a while, Li Miaozhen arrived at the place, and she really noticed Ajiao's breath nearby.She found the small gambling house, pushed open the wooden door with Qiyao painted on it, and saw that it was crowded with people.

In the early morning, so many people are a bit weird.

There were Hu people and Han people in the crowd, and they all stared at Ajiao gambling with big dark circles under their eyes.Ajiao sat on the bearded chair opposite with her legs crossed, her face full of complacency, and there was a lot of money beside her.

"How?" She slapped the gambling table: "Who else dares to come?"

Everyone was discussing and dared not go forward. Li Miaozhen heard that she had already won all night, and she was so powerful that anyone who troubled her was beaten.

Seeing that no one was playing with her, Ah Jiao was very dissatisfied, pointing to the pile of money next to her and said: "It doesn't matter how much the principal is, whoever dares to win me, the money is all his!"

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately sat across from her.Li Miaozhen was not interested in this, she wore a mask of iron and looked at this small gambling house.

Dirty, broken, and unremarkable.

A portrait of the God of Light is hung on the wall, and offerings are placed below it.This is also normal, the people in Fanyang area all believe in Zoroastrianism.

She withdrew her gaze, and within a short time, Ajiao won again, and the young man who bet with her was so angry and annoyed that he squeezed out of the crowd with a dark face.

Li Miaozhen felt that when the portrait on the wall moved, it seemed that the lips of the God of Light moved, and a wisp of black air floated in.When she fixed her eyes and looked again, there was nothing.

Was she dazzled just now?

She didn't stop Ajiao, and continued to watch and gamble silently behind the crowd.After a while, someone lost again, and the portrait of the God of Light really moved again.

This time, Li Miaozhen saw clearly.

The God of Light, or the God of Darkness, still has the ability to be in the North Darkness, and can absorb the evil spirits in the world.

From this point of view, this dark god is powerful and terrifying.

Her mind drifted back to the Taoist Temple, so she broke away from the crowd and went in, and caught Ajiao, who was begging for defeat alone.Ajiao hurriedly hugged a pile of money, and while running, the money fell down with a clatter, causing the people behind to loot it.

Facing the princess, Ajiao was very guilty and shook off the last copper coin on his body: "I'll just go and play, now it's all gone!"

"Good fun." Li Miaozhen took out the last piece of silk from the space, and said, "Let's go, let's go buy wine."

Ajiao said happily: "Wow, that's great!"

……

Time passed, and another three months passed.

Li Miaozhen has become rich since he caught a tall and red coral in the sea and sold it to a rich merchant in Luoyang City.She went to Chang'an to inquire about the situation. Yang Guozhong was not as good as before, but he hadn't fallen yet.

The brilliance of the Yang sisters is gone, I heard that the Yang family has presented another daughter into the palace, her figure and appearance, her graceful dancing posture, is no less than that of a noble concubine.

It's just that Li Longji is old, and there are always times when he can't do what he wants.He put up a list to seek the highest way in the world, but everyone knew that he killed Luo Gongyuan, but no one came to answer the call.

The world is fairly peaceful.

Li Miaozhen didn't disturb any old people, she put the map of Fan Yangcheng on Prince Li Heng's desk, and returned to Luoyang.She rented a house and studied Lite language for three months.She was intelligent and a quick learner.

Peach and plum blossoms bloom in Luoyang City, and it is another year of spring.

Taking advantage of the drizzle, she went to the river bank alone to enjoy the beautiful scenery.She has grown a little bit taller again, the light cherry-colored skirt seems to blend with the sea of ​​flowers, and the delicate face under the thin veil has grown into a thrilling beauty.

She is almost 16 years old.

Li Miaozhen picked up the umbrella transformed from a lotus leaf, hesitated for a moment, but did not open it.There were few people in the rain, she walked forward, and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing on the bridge in front of her.

A middle-aged Taoist priest was riding upside down on a donkey with a fishing drum on his back, looking at her with a smile on his face.

She froze for a moment, and exclaimed in surprise, "Master!"

When saying goodbye last summer, Zhang Guo once said goodbye to Tianbao for [-] years, and it really came true.

She happily ran over and chattered around the master, except for the important matter in Bei Mingli, she couldn't talk about the rest.

It's just that Luo Gongyuan had to be mentioned in this way, Zhang Guo saw that she looked a little strange, and smiled without saying a word.

After she finished speaking, he said leisurely: "Miaozhen, are you having trouble with Brother Luo?"

"No way." She immediately denied.

"Really?" Zhang Guo said with a half-smile, "I heard from Dao Yuan that Brother Luo has been very sad recently, and he has become a drunkard. Sigh, it seems that Dao Yuan is still talking nonsense."

Li Miao thumped in her heart, but didn't say anything for a while.She wanted to ask but was embarrassed, so she could only ask awkwardly, "Why did Master come to Luoyang?"

"Of course I came to see you." Zhang Guo smiled and said: "In a few days, it will be your 16th birthday. I am thinking about coming to see you as a teacher. You and I haven't seen each other for half a year. It's time to get together." get together."

Zhang Guo is an old fairy, so of course she can figure out where she is.Li Miaozhen was very moved, she said: "Then Master will stay in Luoyang for a few more days."

"I'm afraid it's not enough to stay for a few more days. As a teacher, I have to go to Jiugong Mountain to visit my old friend." Zhang Guo said: "Apprentice, why not go with me, this place is in Ezhou, but it is also a spiritual place."

She seems to have heard of the place name Ezhou, which seems to be under the jurisdiction of Dragon King Baier.Li Miaozhen didn't think too much, said: "Then go."

Both the master and the apprentice are activists. Li Miaozhen went home to hug Xiaoli, took Ajiao with her, and followed Zhang Guo to Jiugong Mountain.This mountain is close to the Yangtze River, and it is said that it is also a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Driving southward through the clouds, they arrived in just one day's work.

Spring has just started in the north, and the spring is already blooming in the south. The mountains are bursting with pines and waves, and the fairy mist is lingering.Li Miaozhen stopped to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the mountain, feeling refreshed and full of aura.

Although it is not the 72 caves of Taoism, it is better than the caves.

Ajiao took Xiaoli and wanted to buy wine first, so he let the cloud head down first.She bought a lot of wine in the wine shop at the foot of the mountain, and the shopkeeper saw that she didn't bring any servants, so she enthusiastically said: "Where does the young lady live? We can send the wine to you."

"Ah, Jiugong Mountain!" Ajiao pointed at the back.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then patted his head before remembering: "Oh, that's right! Our name is Luo Gongshan, I didn't remember it for a while!"

Ajiao was taken aback, then narrowed her eyes: "What mountain are you talking about?"

"Luogong Mountain." Seeing that she is a foreigner, the store owner enthusiastically introduced: "In the past, Immortal Master Luo practiced here and built a Taoist temple. Later, we all called Jiugong Mountain as Luogong Mountain!"
