Chapter 296 The Taoist Priest
Traveling through mountains and rivers, traveling thousands of miles, suffering and tiring during the period, is not as easy as Zhe Congruan said, accepting the hospitality of Binyi without hypocrisy, eating, washing, sleeping, and enjoying the corruption of the colorful world of the Central Plains.

Staying in a despicable place all year round and living a hard life, even if the Central Plains is "poor", the things you really enjoy are the same.Under the instruction of Liu Chengyou, Zhe Congruan's reception standard was very high.

Of course, among all the festivals, only Zhe Congruan has this kind of treatment.Other festivals are located in Tokyo, and they all have their own properties. No matter how considerate the reception in the posthouse, there is no comfort in their own mansion with the door closed.

Even if the elderly sleep less and sleep lightly, by the time Zhe Congruan wakes up, more than two hours have passed without money, and it is already midnight.

The wind outside the house seemed to be getting stronger again. Open the window and drill in through the gap, blowing on the face like a knife.However, this north wind is nothing to Ruan. The interior of Fuzhou is traditionally a place of bitter cold, but the hardship dissipated quickly.

"Where's my girl?" Casually, Zhe Cong Ruan asked Zhe Saihua.

"Little lady is going to visit the Winter Market!" Ya Jiang replied.

Hearing this, Zhe Congruan's mind seemed to show his own joyful expression, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and then he restrained himself.Although I knew that the accompanying teeth would be arranged, I still couldn't help asking: "Has the accompanying staff been arranged?"

"Please don't worry, Marshal Jie, there are two family generals to protect him, and a small official has been sent to be a guide in the post. The last general has ordered in advance, depending on the time, he will be back soon!"

Hearing this, Zhe Congruan showed a satisfied look on his face, which was not only an arrangement for Ya Jiang, but also a hospitality for the court.

"I heard that this Xiangfu station is newly furnished, and the name was chosen by the emperor himself!" Accompanied by General Ya, Zhe Congruan strolled around the simple and orderly station, and said with emotion.

"It seems that the emperor and the imperial court really value our prefecture!" Yajiang said with pride in his tone.

Zhe Congruan moved his muscles and bones, and the veteran's body looked really tough, and the crackling sound gave him a strong feeling.Breathing out a turbid air from his lungs, he said from Ruan: "The imperial court is so respectful, we have to give them face, tell the followers, Tokyo is no better than the countryside, please restrain me, don't cause trouble, otherwise don't blame the old man for engaging in military law! "

"Yes!"

All through the ages, there are not a few people in the local vassals and towns who make troubles in Tokyo and stir up troubles.

"Jie Shuai, the Prime Minister is asking to see you."

Soon, Guan Cheng's humble and respectful figure appeared, and learned from his mouth that someone came from the palace.

When Wang Pu stood in front of Zhe Congruan, wearing a court uniform and wearing a virtuous crown on his head, his decent demeanor and appearance immediately won Zhe Congruan's favor, especially when he learned that Wang Pu was the No. Don't underestimate the heart.

Sometimes, watching the performance of the emperor's close ministers, you can feel how the emperor is from the side.As a hero of the times, in front of Zhe Congruan, Wang Pu was full of demeanor and dealt with it properly, which made Liu Chengyou look good.

Zhe Congruan also showed enough kindness to Wang Pu, chatted with him on the way into the palace, and tested the situation by the way.

Seeming to understand Zhe Congruan's thoughts, Wang Pu also talked about Zhe Congruan's concerns: "This time when the envoys came to Beijing, His Majesty was very happy, and when he learned that Zhe Congruan came to Beijing, he made a welcome plan early. ready"

"If it wasn't for Gu Nian Taiwei's hard journey, I'm afraid he would be summoned to the palace for a talk before noon!"

Hearing this, Zhecong Ruan Baimei couldn't help raising his eyebrows, stroked his beard and said humbly: "How can this old man be so important to His Majesty Lao?"

From Zhe Congruan's point of view, the emperor's enthusiasm for him has gone too far, a little unreal.I just don't know, what about other Jiedu, but it's hard for Zhe Congruan to say such things.

Noticing Zhe Congruan's expression, Wang Pu said in a gentle manner: "Your Majesty's words, the Taiwei guards the remote areas, and he deserves it for his hard work!"

"Your Majesty is wise." This was probably Zhe Congruan's first compliment to Liu Chengyou.

Zhecong Ruan entered the palace to meet him, Liu Chengyou was in the palace, not just waiting blankly.He is receiving a man who is much more famous than Zhe Cong Ruan, a Taoist priest.

In the hanging arch hall, on the wide chair, the Taoist priest sat calmly, with old robes, natural attitude, and a dusty smell all over his body.Even under Liu Chengyou's gaze and scrutiny, he is still at ease, and the image of a person who has attained the Tao is extremely full.

Liu Chengyou had been staring at the Taoist priest for a while. It was a little impolite to observe like this, but Liu Chengyou really couldn't hold back his surprise. This was probably the first time he had "fainted" in front of outsiders.

If there is no mistake in the investigation, the Taoist priest in front of him is almost 80 years old, but looking at his strong physique, he feels too inconsistent.Her hair is in a bun and her beard is long, which inevitably turns white, but it reflects her full spirit, and even the wrinkles on her face are not old enough.

Just letting Liu Chengyou look at him, the Taoist priest was very calm, and there was even a peaceful smile in the corner of his eyes.

"The Daoist is easy to find!" Liu Chengyou's city mansion made his gaffe not last long, and he quickly put away his surprise, and said in a tone of emotion.

"Forgive Your Majesty to wait so long, please forgive me." The old Taoist replied without any change in expression.

This old Taoist is naturally the well-known Patriarch Chen Tuan. Previously, under the order of Liu Chengyou, the local officials in Huazhou invited the old Taoist to Tokyo.Unfortunately, several times into the mountain, to no avail.Later, Huatong inspector Wu Qianyu even sent troops into the mountains to search, but of course it was a waste of effort.

Huashan is vast, narrow and dangerous, and it is really difficult to find someone.If it weren't for the woodcutter who went into the mountain to say that he had seen the old man, the local officials would have given up long ago.However, before the heavy snow closed the mountain, Lao Dao took the initiative to show up in the Huazhou government office, and then was escorted to Tokyo respectfully by a group of mortals as a fairy.

"Has the Taoist priest lived in seclusion in Huashan all these years?" Liu Chengyou asked.

The old Taoist nodded, with a contagious smile: "Exactly. In the early years, I traveled to Wudang, Emei, Qingcheng and other places."

I muttered in my heart, this old man can run.

"There are so many people, but they can't find Taihua. Is the Taoist priest really a god?" Liu Chengyou said.

"It's just that the fate has not come yet." The old man couldn't help nagging, but it didn't make Liu Chengyou feel disgusted and repelled.

In fact, it was only Liu Chengyou's double-standard psychology at work. In the Hall of Renming, Liu Chengyou also met those monks who taught Buddhism to the Queen Mother, and they were also eminent monks who had attained the Tao.

To Chen Tuan's old way, Liu Chengyou obviously looked at it differently: "The people below are ignorant, disturb the peace, hinder the Taoist priest's pure cultivation, and ask the Taoist priest to forgive him."

"It doesn't matter." The old man has no old dog, and his smile has not changed.

"Since the Taoist priest is willing to show up, it must be fate!" Liu Chengyou's face flashed a shrewd expression, his eyes suddenly filled with anticipation: "In the opinion of the Taoist priest, do I have a fairy fate?"
