When Li Chan returned to Guangzhaifang from Qianyuan Academy, Cangmi Lane was as lively as usual. Most of the residents in Guangzhaifang recognized this Qianyuan scholar, and when they saw him riding a donkey, they greeted him one by one.Some gave tofu, some gave sugar cane, and some asked the red medicine lady in the mansion why she didn't go out to buy it recently.Until someone asked about the demon book in the morning, everyone stopped talking, holding their breath and waiting for Li Chan's answer.

Only then did Li Chan see the worried expressions on the faces of the traffickers and pawns. Although the world has been peaceful for more than 20 years, except for young men and women who are ignorant, the older generation has experienced the pain of war.The saint was assassinated a few days ago, and people in the capital were already in panic. Since the paper birds flew over the sky in the morning, it has been more than half a day, and the demon book has been spread in Yujing City.Those who have read the demon book, if they are people of insight, can naturally see that the person who wrote the book intends to stir up the demon atmosphere.However, Yujing City is prosperous in literature and art. Although there are many knowledgeable people, most of them are two-legged bookcases who think they are knowledgeable but are ignorant.After the demon book was spread by these people, the common people thought that the sage was going to die in a few days, and that King Yu had already prepared his troops to kill Yujing, and the world would be in chaos immediately.

Of course Li Chan didn't know the origin of the demon book, but he knew that in the eyes of the people in Yujing, the Qianyuan bachelors were like gods. If the Qianyuan bachelors were in a mess, the people would only be more panicked.He was going to say that he didn't know, but he hesitated for a while, but changed his words: "Don't worry, those words are just nonsense. This matter has already been established, and the case will probably be closed in a few days."

Seeing Li Xueshi's answer, everyone was finally relieved, and some people asked: "Li Xueshi, I think the remarks in that book are quite reasonable, how can you say it's nonsense?" "Liu Silang, it's all you have to say about your poems, how dare you question Li Xueshi?" Then Liu Silang blushed immediately and tried to defend himself.

Amidst the roar of laughter, Li Chan rode a donkey through the crowd, pretending to be relaxed, but with hidden worries in his heart.He looked at the still bustling city of Yujing, but the dilapidated market outside the pass flashed through his mind.

He left Cangmi Alley, and a person approached him and called "Xueshi Li". He turned his head and saw a man in Tsing Yi coming from the side, as if he had been waiting at the entrance of the alley. The vitality of the heaven and the earth fluctuates together, obviously a practitioner.Li Chan didn't know why he came, so he stopped the black donkey, and the man in Tsing Yi asked: "Just now I heard Li Xueshi said that the origin of the demon book has a clue, is it true?"

Li Chan asked back: "Your Excellency?"

Seeing that Li Chan was vigilant, the man in Tsing Yi didn't ask any further questions, but said: "Someone invited Li Xueshi to meet, please come to the Qixiang Terrace of Daxiangguo Temple at [-]:[-]pm."

Li Chan asked, "Who?"

The man in Tsing Yi didn't answer, he bowed his hands to Li Chan, then turned and walked into the crowd, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

……

The case of the demon book in the morning disrupted Li Chan's day-to-day schedule. After returning from the Qianyuan Academy, he hurried to the Yijuan Hall and the Chongxuan Office. When he came back, it was close to Shenshi.Regarding the invitation from the mysterious man in Tsing Yi, he was puzzled but not guarded.After all, although the person concealed his identity, if the person who came was not kind, there was no need to count him in this way.

So, as soon as the application time was over, Li Chan went out.Re-entering the Daxiangguo Temple, the Zhike monks he had contacted when he was seeking ink greeted him enthusiastically, and he said eloquently that he had already seen that Xueshi Li was extraordinary.Li Chan asked the Zhike monk to lead the way to Qixiangtai, but the Zhike monk politely refused, saying that it was a forbidden place in the temple.While the two were talking, they approached the Great Buddha Hall. The eminent monk in the temple, Master Yuan Guan, stood downstairs, turned away the Zhigu monk, and said to Li Chan: "Xueshi Li, the poor monk has been waiting for a long time."

There are tens of thousands of flying towers in Yujing City, among which there are twelve flying towers called Sun and Moon Zhishe, which correspond to the places where the sun and menstruation pass at twelve hours.Standing on the top of the Great Buddha Hall of Daxiangguo Temple, from east to west, you can see the seven buildings of Yanggu, Xianchi, Fusang, Niaoci, Lianshi, Menggu and Sangyu in the twelve sun and moon houses. , so the terrace on the top of the Great Buddha Hall was named Qixiang Terrace.On the stage, there is a bronze figure wearing a cloud dragon and fire bead armor, driving a chariot of six dragons, with a daughter of Chongri on the chariot, facing the Chengtai at the gate of the temple, which is said to be able to condense the moonlight, and is said to be able to collect the essence of the sun.

Yuan Ce led Li Chan to the top of the Great Buddha Hall and left the same way. Li Chan turned around and watched Yuan Ce go downstairs. The Jiahu Buddha was hidden in the lingering sandalwood smoke, and the neatly arranged green snails on the Buddha's head were large enough to accommodate people.He withdrew his gaze and stepped onto the stairs leading to the terrace outside the hall.The Qixiang Terrace hangs under the eaves to the west of the Great Buddha Hall, which is extremely spacious.Looking to the sky, it was dusk, and the clouds were like fire. At first glance, it seemed that the whole city of Yujing was on fire.

On the side of the railing stood two figures with their backs, one of them was Master Yuanzhu, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, he was once a world-famous preaching monk, and he was lecturing scriptures with the other person beside him, wearing a jade cassock bestowed by the emperor.The man was facing the setting sun with his hands behind his back, while the host turned sideways and bowed slightly.

The status of monks and Taoists in Dayong Kingdom is extremely high. Although Daxiangguo Temple is not a holy place for Buddhism, it is the richest Buddhist temple. There are very few people in the world who can preside over such a respected temple.Li Chan looked at the majestic back, he had guessed the origin of the person who invited him, but he did not expect that this person was Li Yin, Emperor Dayong.

Yuan Zhu was teaching the scriptures with Li Yin, and Li Yin not only listened, but also asked questions from time to time, and even his different views on the scriptures could make Yuan Zhu concentrate on meditation.Yuanzhu's meditation is not a pretentious gesture of ingratiation.Although today's emperor has the heart to suppress Taoism and destroy Buddha, he does not show it to the outside world. Xuanmen respects him as a living real person, and Buddhism also calls him a living Buddha. Although these titles are added because of his position as emperor, Li Yin But he is also proficient in the two teachings.

Li Chan waited quietly behind Qixiang Terrace for the two to discuss Buddhism, Li Yin didn't let him wait long, after only a moment, Yuan Zhu left, exchanged salutes with Li Chan, and passed him by.

Li Chan walked up to Qixiang Terrace, secretly paying attention to the movement around her, and found that Li Yin was alone, she couldn't help thinking, if Li Yin was seriously injured in the previous autumn hunting, she shouldn't be so negligent in defense.Thinking of this, Li Chan's worries also dissipated a little. He didn't care about the battle for the crown prince, he only knew that the longer Li Yin reigned, the world would be more peaceful.

"My minister sees the saint." Li Chan bowed and saluted. On the Qixiang platform, the shadows of Li Yin and the six-dragon chariot were stretched extremely long by the setting sun.Li Yin called him to see him, but he was not in the palace, and he did not report his identity. Obviously, he wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears, and wanted to grant a secret decree.The envoy of Youyi Envoy in Gyeonggi has been sealed for a year, so I am afraid that he will no longer be an idler today.

Sure enough, Li Yin turned around, turned his back to the setting sun and looked at the Qianyuan scholar in front of him, said no courtesy, and asked: "Have you read that demon book?"

I'm too busy, I can only take the time to code words, and the amount is less
