When he left, he had already decided in his heart that after the Fengchan ceremony was over, he must come back to see Tianjizi again to try to solve the doubts in his heart.

After coming out of Tianjizi's secluded place, Taoist Xuanlingzi immediately greeted him and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, have you reached an agreement with Patriarch Tianjizi?"

As for what they were talking about, Xuan Lingzi wouldn't ask.

He still understands this rule.

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "I had a great conversation with senior Tianjizi, but I hope that you and the disciples in the Dao Palace who know about today's events can keep it secret."

There was a reason for his warning. After all, today's conversation with Tian Jizi was too shocking. Once word got out, it would definitely have a big impact on him, and he might receive unfriendly looks from some people because of it.

According to what Tianjizi said, unless he has been promoted to the heavenly realm, he is not even qualified to know the secrets of some things. At this juncture, he cannot waste time!

Tianjizi said seriously and solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Firstly, only Pindao knows about your visit to the Patriarch Tianjizi. Secondly, no outsider can know about the conversation between you and the Patriarch Tianjizi.

Just now, I felt that Patriarch Tianjizi used his magical power to deceive Tianji, so only you two know what exactly you and Patriarch said."

Hearing this news, Zhao Changqing relaxed a little. This proved that Senior Tianjizi had guessed all the things that might happen in order to be prepared.

What kind of astonishing identities do some of the beings that even Tianjizi must treat with such caution have that will make ghosts and gods weep?

It's simply unimaginable.

However, he knew that some things were not yet something he could consider.

You have to eat one bite at a time and do things step by step, otherwise you will be afraid of going too far and not doing enough.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked Xuan Lingzi, "You are the head of the Dao Palace. You should know all the disciples in the Dao Palace, right?"

Xuan Lingzi smiled bitterly and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are four to five thousand disciples in the outer sect and inner sect in the Taoist palace. How can I remember them all!"

Zhao Changqing asked again: "How many female disciples are there in your Taoist palace?"

Xuan Lingzi suddenly became a little wary and said cautiously: "There are probably more than a thousand people. I wonder what your Majesty means by this?"

Zhao Changqing took a breath and thought to himself: "More than a thousand people? How should I find that little Taoist nun? You saved one of me, why are you hiding and refusing to meet me? What do you do to me like this?

Thank u?"

Since the last time he said goodbye to the little Taoist nun on the banks of the Huaihe River, Zhao Changqing has not seen her again. In fact, that time on the banks of the Huaihe River was also the first time he met her.

For Zhao Changqing, it was unexpected that my little Taoist nun, who had only met her once, would leave such a deep imprint on his heart.

However, it was precisely for this reason that he did not give up his obsession with finding her.

However, he arrived at Taishan Taoist Palace with great fanfare, but the little Taoist nun still did not come to meet him, which proved that she did not want to find him.

This is troublesome.

Call all those thousand Taoist nuns over?

The last time we saw each other, we didn't see her true face. If she wanted to pretend and refused to see her, what could she do?

The more Zhao Changqing thought about this matter, the more he frowned.

Xuan Lingzi was puzzled. After all, why is Your Majesty so deep in thought? Will it have any impact on our Dao Palace?

Thinking of this, he became a little anxious and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"

The first sound of 'Your Majesty' brought Zhao Changqing back to his senses. Suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable and said: "No...it's nothing."

Since the emperor didn't say anything, Xuan Lingzi didn't know what was going on. He continued: "Your Majesty, would you like Pindao to take you on a tour of the Taoist Palace?"

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "That's fine."

While Xuan Lingzi took Zhao Changqing to visit the scenic spots and historic sites in the Taoist palace, he explained to him in detail the functions of the palaces here and echoed the Taoist concepts.

It was okay at first, but as time went by, Zhao Changqing felt a little bored and bored.

At first glance, Zhao Changqing thought the entire Taoist palace was quite novel, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was actually not as luxurious as the imperial palace.

The further inside, the simpler the layout of the Taoist palace became. The guards who followed Zhao Changqing were shocked by the scene in front of them. The ground paved with white jade shone with a faint light, and on both sides were temples with Taoist sages.

In the hall, various rare and exotic animals are carved on the stone walls of the golden roof. Below it is the passage. Going straight into the passage is a large hall, whose name is "Sanqing Hall".

The hall is dedicated to the Taoist ancestors of the Three Qing Dynasties, with purple wood as the beam and the body of a sinuous golden dragon hovering above it, which further highlights the grandeur.

After passing the Sanqing Hall, there is another long passage. On one side of the passage is an 'Ink Pool', a black pool full of ink; on the other side is a 'Weapon Forest', with all kinds of weapons like a forest of trees.

Fall into it.

The cultural and military heritage is demonstrated. There are many stone tablets of different sizes in the ink pond, with many fonts densely engraved on them. They should be the "treasures of pen and ink" left by poets and poets of the past dynasties.

In addition to weapons, there are only a few sculptures placed in the forest of weapons. They are all ferocious beasts and angry-eyed Vajra Arhats, dancing with their teeth and glaring at the ink pond stone tablet opposite.

This point aroused Zhao Changqing's curiosity. He asked: "You are Taoists, why do you put up sculptures of Buddhist Arhats?"

Tianjizi smiled when he heard this, pursed his lips and said softly: "Reporting to your majesty, although it is true that we are a branch of Taoism, this sect is different from other branches.

The true meaning is to emphasize that a person's heart should be upright and avoid evil, and the three religions should be together to make a family.

Therefore, the major of this Taoist palace is Quanzhen Taoism, which can be studied by both Confucianism and Buddhism. There are some Confucian Mochi and Arhat sculptures in the sect.

The main purpose is to be very strict in terms of clothing, rules, etc., and it emphasizes purity and abstinence from desires."

Zhao Changqing nodded. He knew that the split in Taoism was quite serious and various branches of Taoism were emerging one after another.

After passing here, we came to Wangyou Forest.

Wangyou Forest is an endless sea of ​​bamboos. There are many types of bamboo here, no less than ten species, each of which is tall and green. The fresh air coming from the bamboo forest makes people feel as if they are sitting on a boat.

Moreover, standing in it and being bathed in the sea of ​​bamboo, you can wash away all the worldly worries in the deep and serene space, so it is called the Forest of Forgetfulness.

When the little Taoist nun was practicing in the Taoist palace and remembered Zhao Changqing, she often came here.

When you come to Wangyou Forest, you will find Zilai Qiu, the place where the feng shui of Taoist palace gathers.

This is the top of the Taoist palace. In front of it are all the futons made of Taishan stones. Every morning, all the disciples will sit on the futons in order and meditate, either chanting Taoist scriptures and practicing, or absorbing

The purple energy in the early morning exercises internal energy and is also a place of pilgrimage.

But today, because of the arrival of Zhao Changqing, the entire Taoist palace was under martial law. In order to fear that the disciples of the Taoist palace would disturb the Holy Master, Xuan Lingzi repeatedly ordered them not to come out to practice martial arts, meditate, etc. in the palace. Therefore, Zilai Qiu, which is usually overcrowded,

, I can’t see anyone today.

Zhao Changqing sat on a futon and talked about business to Xuan Lingzi, saying: "Let's talk about it. What suggestions do you have for me to be granted the title of Zen?"

Xuan Lingzi said: "It's roughly the same as the last time Emperor Renzong came to consecrate Zen. They built an altar to repay the heaven for their merits. They erected a monument to repay the earth for their merits. This is the conferment of Zen. But..."

Zhao Changqing asked: "But what?"

Xuan Lingzi opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, to be granted Zen status requires the presence of auspicious signs. Back when Emperor Renzong was conferring Zen status, a unicorn auspicious beast appeared. I wonder if we will... this time..."

In fact, what Xuan Lingzi said was simply that he wanted to disguise himself as an auspicious beast this time.

Zhao Changqing also heard officials from the Ministry of Rites talking about this matter before he came.

Now when I heard Xuan Lingzi talk about this matter, it seems that I really need to find something auspicious.
