Taoist Qiu Shi pointed to the backyard, and Chen Leng couldn't help but sigh involuntarily. He didn't understand what was wrong with him and why he suddenly felt that looking at his face could solve his doubts.

He would rather come to see the prime minister than go to the palace to ask for the queen. This is a very contradictory thing in itself, because Chen Leng never believes in it.

He doesn't even believe in cause and effect, let alone look at the image.

The only cause and effect he believes in is... hard work can bring the result he wants, and what he gets through hard work is cause and effect.

So when Taoist Qiushi pointed to the backyard, Chen Leng suddenly felt that it was meaningless, why bother?

"What are the doubts in the heart of the Duke?"

Taoist Qiushi looked at the cold eyes and looked very seriously: "I have been a Taoist for more than 50 years. Although I don't know how to look at people's hearts, I still see people's hearts more accurately. I think there is a worry in the Duke's eyes. Are you worried about yourself or others?"

Chen sneered and said, "What does the master see?"

The old Taoist shook his head: "Don't expect to get anything bad from my mouth, I can't say it..."

His eyes were dazed, as if he was recalling something.

After a long time, he smiled and said, "Remember that was sixty or seventy years ago. I was only in my teens..."

The second one covered his face.

Taoist Qiu Shi ignored him and continued, "I got a serious illness in my hometown. Now I don't know what the disease is. There is no flood or war. It should not be a plague, but it is even more violent than a plague."

"Our village is about 70 to 800 people, and almost all of them died. The court sent people to the village and gathered the dead and burned them in a big pit, then covered them with white ash, and then rammed them with soil... My parents are also among them. I may be lucky, and I survived."

"A man died, and even a body was left behind. So many people were burned in a big pit. I had the courage to stand not far away and watch. At that time, the adults around me told me that there was no way for the imperial court to send people to do this, because more people could survive, so it seemed to be more cruel to the dead. Compassion for the dead is compassionate, not merciful to the dead, but merciful to the living is also compassionate, and the latter is greater than the former."

"I didn't have any resentment at that time, and I didn't understand resentment. The adults told me that it was right to do that, and it was naturally right. It was only after a long time that I understood the truth."

Taoist Qiushi looked at Chen coldly: "A old Taoist who is wandering in the clouds pulled my hand and asked, do you still have family? I pointed to the dark pit and said, "It's gone... That Taoist is my master. My master sighed and asked me, do you want to be a Taoist? I said what's good about being a Taoist? My master said at least it's your food. I thought about it, it's okay."

"So I started to travel around the world with my master. Master often lies, but Master is not bad. He told me, do you know why people like to find Taoists to look at faces and ask questions? I was still young at that time, so I didn't know, so I asked Master why. Master said that people actually just want to be at peace."

Chen Leng was stunned when he heard this sentence, and repeated it to himself... just to ask for peace of mind.

"There are rules for Taoists to lie to others."

Taoist Qiushi continued, "Master told me, whoever you think is kind and whoever you like, say more good things. If he is happy, he will give you some money and you will be happy. He will not give you money. These words are said to the people you like, so it is not a loss. If you really encounter difficulties, come and ask you for your wishes. Then he asked you what to do, and you said, "Give some money and I will give you a break."

"The Taoist does not say anything that is hopeless because the Taoist knows that if people come to seek the Taoist in a desperate situation, then there may be no other way to imagine. It is the last step. If you say something that makes people hopeless in your heart in the last step, that is a sin."

Taoist Qiushi looked at Chen Leng: "Dude, how difficult is it, let you come to Taoist for peace?"

Chen Leng stood there, speechless for a moment.

Taoist Qiu Shi sighed: "If you really feel uneasy, you can't do anything else. Just go to the backyard. I have been a Taoist for more than 40 years, and I am the one who I admire the most so far. She really has the wisdom of Taoism."

Chen Leng was silent for a long time and nodded: "Okay, I'll go."

He stood up and bowed, then walked towards the backyard.

Behind him, Taoist Qiushi looked at the second generation Taoist and asked seriously: "Tell me the truth, how old am I?"

Second book: "My master just passed forty this year."

Taoist Qiushi: "You fart, you are forty."

Second book: "..."

Chen Leng reached the door of the backyard, with a wall between the front yard and the backyard leading to a moon gate leading to the backyard. When he walked to the door, he stopped involuntarily and asked himself, are you trying to ask for peace of mind?

No matter what.

Step in.

In the backyard, Xiao Zhang was wearing a big glasses and sat cross-legged in the yard and was teaching. In the backyard, there were at least a hundred Taoist nuns sitting cross-legged in the yard and listening carefully. Xiao Zhang's voice was very light and ethereal, but also very clear.

"The saints of the past said that when people stand in the world, the most basic thing they need to do is to support each other, because the word "man" means to support each other with one stroke and one stroke. When I first heard my master say it, I firmly believe it."

"But later I learned that the word "man" is just because it is written like a person, not to support each other. On the contrary, the general meaning is that everyone is alone, or lonely."

Xiao Zhang Zhenren said: "But people are afraid of loneliness and do not like loneliness, so they add other words to the word "people" to drive away the meaning of loneliness, such as friends, family, relatives, lovers, lovers..."

When Xiao Zhang said this, real person pushed his glasses, and then saw Chen Leng, so he exclaimed: "Sir!"

The Taoist nuns are all a little confused, sir?

Then they noticed a man behind him, wearing a very well-fitting brocade dress, with a straight figure and a handsome face. According to Daning's rules, bright yellow is a color that can only be used by the emperor and the royal family. Under yellow is black, so the clothes of the kings and dukes are all black, with different embellishments and patterns. Under black is purple, and under purple robe symbolizes power and status. Under purple is red, under red is blue, and under blue is green.

So the one who came was a Duke.

The Taoist nuns saw the living duke for the first time, and they were still so young, so they were inevitably surprised.

"Duke Anguo."

Zhenren Xiao Zhang stood up and bowed down slightly with Taoist etiquette.

Chen Leng quickly returned the gift: "National Master."

The Taoist nuns heard the three words "An Guogong" clearly, so they all became nervous. In Daning and among the people, the three words "An Guogong" symbolize a legend, a legend who was in his teenage years of his army without any defeat.

From the 20th year of Tiancheng in Daning, Daning has expanded its territory more than doubled. The increased territory seems to be the figure of Duke An Guo in every area, and Duke An Guo in every battle.

Everyone stood up and saluted Chen Leng.

"I've met Duke Anguo."

Chen Leng hurriedly returned the gift again. He was also a little nervous when he saw so many nuns for the first time. "The state has something to do?"

Xiao Zhang was even more nervous, so his voice trembled slightly when he asked this.

Chen Leng nodded: "No hurry, the national teacher can teach first."

"Not teaching, just chatting."

Xiao Zhang made a gesture of invitation: "Go in and talk."

Chen Leng nodded and followed Xiao Zhang to the main hall. Soon after, a Taoist nun served tea, and secretly looked at Chen Leng a few more times. Her eyes were full of curiosity and a little awe.

"There are so many more people in Xiangning Temple."

In order to ease the atmosphere, Chen Leng smiled and said, "It's much more lively than before."

Xiao Zhang Zhenren said, "I didn't expect this to happen. Since I showed up as a woman, there have been more women in the Taoist temple. Most of them have many knots that cannot be untied. I hope I can untied them, so I stayed to enlighten the truth. I am still in the mortal world, and I can't untied the entanglements in the mortal world, so I can only explore with them."

Chen Leng nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"What's up?"

Xiao Zhang asked.

Chen Leng said: "I want to...I want to find you to see your face and ask for a divination."

Xiao Zhang said, "You can read the appearance now. If you ask for divination, you have to wait for me to get something."

Chen Leng said, "Then let's take a look at the photos first."

Xiao Zhang's face suddenly turned red, he slowly breathed out and said, "Then please face me with justice."

Chen Leng shook his head: "It's not about me, it's about Your Majesty."

Xiao Zhang's face changed suddenly.

"Look at your Majesty?"

There are only two people in the main hall, he and Xiao Zhang Zhenren, so Chen Leng didn’t have that much taboo and asked directly: “When was the last time the national magistrate met His Majesty?”

Xiao Zhang replied: "The day before yesterday, Your Majesty planned to be more grand on the National Day on September 9 this year. He wanted to open the Tianqi Temple in Weiyang Palace to pray for the people of Daning, so he summoned me to the palace to discuss this. This is a major event and there is still half a year to start preparing."

Chen Leng nodded: "Then... Xiao Zhang looked at His Majesty's appearance, but, but..."

"No."

Xiao Zhang stopped Chen Leng without waiting for Chen Leng to finish his words: "Dude, you shouldn't ask these words. If you spread them, you will be convicted of a serious crime. It is a disaster for your own death. Your Majesty is very good and will live forever."

Chen Leng nodded: "That's good, thank you."

Xiao Zhang said: "Duke, don't think so much. Sometimes some things are destined."

Chen Leng felt at ease when he heard the previous words, but this sentence was destined to make Chen Leng's heart suddenly tight. No matter how he listened, sometimes some things were destined and seemed a bit unlucky.

"What does the national teacher mean?"

“Let it go.”

Xiao Zhang said, "Please come back, maybe what you say is a big deal, but not a bad deal. The Duke of the State is upright and not confused."

Chen Leng sighed. He knew that Xiao Zhang would never say anything, and he didn't give up, so he asked, "Where is the national master looking at me?"

Xiao Zhang: "It's pretty good."

Chen Leng: "Ah?"

Xiao Zhang: "Ah!"
