Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Chapter 40 Royal Taoist Temple, Indifferent to Fame and Fortune 【Please recommend a monthly ticket】

Gao Shilian took the third imperial edict and began to read it.

"...I am a descendant of Li Er, but there is no Taoist temple in the imperial palace. It is really inappropriate. Therefore, the royal Taoist temple will be built in the imperial palace. Duke Cheng Zhijie of the State of Lu will supervise the construction. Please ask Taoist Wugou after the three-year filial piety period expires Go to be the spectator."

The owner of the Royal Taoist Temple? !

Everyone gasped, this is a great honor, and even Su Chen is going to be promoted as a Taoist representative of the Great Tang Empire!
No Taoist can refuse.

Gao Shilian also smiled and waited for Su Chen to receive the order.

however.

Su Chen frowned, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and refused, "I won't answer."

Gao Shilian was stunned.

Cheng Yaojin was also dumbfounded.

The smiling old eunuch was also dumbfounded!

Everyone was shocked. They really couldn't figure out why Su Chen refused.

Only Sun Simiao smiled and seemed to know why Su Chen made such a decision!
Gao Shilian said: "My lord, why did you refuse?!"

Cheng Yaojin also hurriedly said: "Master Tianshi, if you build a royal Taoist temple, it will be a great thing for your Taoist school."

Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, a good thing."

Cheng Yaojin said: "Then why don't you accept it?"

Su Chen said: "It's not that I don't accept this, but I don't accept being the master of the Taoist temple."

He doesn't want to go. As the master of the royal Taoist temple, he stands high above the world and stays away from the world. Who will he sign off for? !
People, don't forget your roots!

Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded.

Gao Shilian was also dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that Su Chen refused to accept the imperial edict because of this.

Gao Shilian hurriedly said: "My lord, becoming the master of the royal Taoist temple, you are equivalent to the leader of the Taoist school in the world. Buddhism already has Zhaoqing Temple, and Taoism should also have a royal Taoist temple. Such an honor..."

Su Chen said: "Honor is like floating clouds to me, I prefer to be among mountains and rivers."

Gao Shilian and Cheng Yaojin were shocked instantly.

The old eunuch also smiled.

Su Chen's move made him feel more at ease to go back to work.

The emperor can give him rewards, but Su Chen can't be greedy. People outside Fang Fang must behave like people outside Fang Fang.

otherwise.

The emperor is probably on guard against him too!

Just when the crowd didn't know what to do, the old eunuch rushed out and said: "Your Majesty ordered that if the Great Celestial Master refuses to move to the Royal Taoist Temple, you can also become the master of the temple, and everything will be decided by the Great Celestial Master himself! "

Gao Shilian and Cheng Yaojin were dumbfounded.

The emperor is too indulgent to Su Chen!
This is definitely not the case for the merits of the mere fairy rice seed and the godsend, and there must be many things that they don't know about.

Su Chen smiled, "If that's the case, the poor will take over."

After taking down all three imperial edicts, Gao Shilian and others planned to leave.

but.

The old eunuch came out again, "Your Majesty ordered that Princess Changle has grown up, and I want to marry my daughter to the Celestial Master, but I am afraid that she is not worthy, so I implore the Celestial Master to accept her as an apprentice, and let her be responsible for the big and small matters of the Royal Taoist Temple."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Gao Shilian and Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened. It was obvious that they didn't know about the instruction.

The emperor wanted to marry a daughter, but he was afraid that she would not be worthy.

The next best thing is to learn from Su Chen? !

This operation made them dumbfounded.

Su Chen was also taken aback, becoming Li Lizhi's master?

And let her take charge of the big and small matters of the Royal Taoist Temple? !

Su Chen was thoughtful, it seems that the emperor has made arrangements, this move is also very good for him, it is equivalent to an extra layer of royal teacher status!
Su Chen said: "Princess Changle and I are also predestined. I can take her as a disciple, but only as a registered disciple. If she is found to be useless in the future, she will be expelled from the teacher's school."

Registered disciple? !
Everyone is numb.

The emperor's most beloved princess can only become a registered disciple!

but.

The old Taiji thought that Su Chen would refuse, and he was ready for all kinds of promises, but he didn't expect to get a promise.

Name disciples, name disciples!

Hastily nodded and bowed, and bowed in agreement.

When everyone thought it was over, the old eunuch said again: "Your Majesty ordered that the crown prince respects filial piety, and is willing to hire the great celestial master as the crown prince's grand teacher to teach the crown prince Li Chengqian the way of nature."

Whoa!
This time, everyone was even more stunned.

Gao Shilian hesitated to speak, he had been fighting with Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng for the position of prince and grand teacher for several years!
However, Li Shimin has been up in the air.

Unexpectedly, he gave Su Chen his brain directly.

What an honor this is!
In the future, if the prince succeeds to the throne, then he will not be the prince and grand master, but the emperor's master! !

Supreme glory!

Much better than the Guo Gong who is about to rot in the street! !

but.

They didn't dare to fight, after all, it was for Su Chen, whoever touches Su Chen will die!
Su Chen said: "Eunuch, please report back to Your Majesty, the poor will not obey the order!"

what? !

Wuji was dumbfounded.

Gao Shilian and Cheng Yaojin were also dumbfounded.

Even ordinary people know the status and significance of the prince and grand master, why did Su Chen refuse? !

The old eunuch said: "My lord, you are willing to accept Princess Changle as an apprentice, why don't you accept the prince as a student?! This is the prince and grand master, he, he is..."

He wanted to use his status as a prince and grand teacher to persuade him, but when he thought of Su Chen's indifference to fame and fortune just now, he couldn't say anything.

vulgar!
Too vulgar!
Su Chen said: "Princess Changle is destined for me, I can't see the fate of the prince for the time being, please come back, father-in-law."

He didn't want to be involved in the court disputes, not to mention that Li Chengqian was not the future emperor.

Only fools agree!
The high-sounding refusal left the old eunuch speechless, and finally he didn't know how to get down the mountain.

It wasn't until they returned to the gate of Chang'an that the old eunuch exclaimed, "Master Tianshi is really a god-man, fame and fortune are like floating clouds to him."

After looking left and right, I saw Gao Shilian nodding in approval, but Cheng Yaojin was not there.

He was surprised: "Why didn't Duke Lu come back?"

Gao Shilian said: "He took a 'gift' and said it was for the Great Heavenly Master."

The old eunuch seemed to know what the 'gift' was, just smiled, and went directly to the city to return to his life!

Yunyuan Mountain, Hualong Temple.

The envoys have all left, but the villagers have no intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Su Chen was overjoyed and waited for them to ask for a lottery.

Sure enough, a few wanted to ask for a lottery, but they were pushed away by Cheng Yaojin.

Seeing Su Chen was a little displeased, Cheng Yaojin hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Tianshi, my old Cheng has a gift for you."

Su Chen said, "What is it?"

Cheng Yaojin made a counterattack, and someone immediately delivered a big brocade box.

From far away, Su Chen smelled the smell of blood.

Su Chen said: "Three animals and six animals?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "It's a beast."

Many villagers gathered around to watch the excitement.

Then Cheng Yaojin directly opened the lid of the brocade box, immediately frightened the surrounding villagers and scrambled backwards.

And the timid ones went straight down the mountain!

Su Chen looked at it, and his cheeks twitched.

I saw only nine heads without bodies and blood stains on the brocade box, it was obvious that they died not long ago.

Cheng Yaojin smugly said: "Lord Tianshi, these people are some villains I supervised to kill this morning, and they are here to have a drink with Tianshi."
