Chen Qiao's eyes were not blind, so he could not recognize the wrong person.

What surprised him was that the other party was so brave that he had not even modified his appearance, and with a face that had not moved at all, he sat in the Palace of Chen and became the guest of honor for Emperor Chen.

As we all know, the Chen Dynasty is the territory of the Confucian sect. To put it bluntly, Ru Yan Kehui regarded it as a forbidden corpse and was not allowed to be interfered with by others. Just like the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism, the light was dimly hidden by the Linchuan Academy.

When it comes to fighting alone, Yan Wushi is naturally not afraid of Ru Yan Kehui, but after all, a strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. The dignified leader of Huanyue Sect pretended to be a Taoist priest and entered the palace to see Lord Chen, intending to seize the Confucian camp and attract the Confucian siege. This kind of thing will be very unpleasant to spread. In Shen Qiao's opinion, there is no need for the other party to cause trouble in this way.

Having said that, Yan Wushi is Yan Wushi. If everything is within expectations of others, it will not be Yan Wushi.

Perhaps Chen Qiao stayed on Yan Wushi for too long, and the Taoist priest Baimen Temple sitting next to him also noticed it, turned his head and whispered: "Fellow Taoist Chen, do you know the fellow Taoist over there?"

Chen Qiao: "I don't know you. I just arrived in Jiankang and am about to ask Fellow Daoist Zhang to introduce you."

Taoist Zhang said: "I only recognize the two people opposite you are Taoist priests from Lanshui Temple in Beijing. The Lanshui Temple is even more broken than our Baimen Temple. I don't know how those two people bewitched the angels and sneak in!"

Chen Qiao was so amused that he had always been a pity for his fellow practitioners. Although the Taoist sects practiced the immortal way of immortality, they were actually full of people's hearts and many of them.

"I heard that a fellow Taoist had been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor before. I think His Majesty is not very satisfied?"

Taoist Zhang: "Your Majesty wants to seek immortality, so he naturally has to ask the Taoist sect for advice. However, those Confucian scholars strongly opposed it. The Taoist temple in the capital is the largest. Your Majesty originally looked for Taoist sect from Donghai Temple. When he heard that when he was halfway through the question of the immortals, the people from the Confucian sect learned the news. Then, Yan Kehui really hated it. He actually asked the Empress Dowager to expose the magic of Taoist sects on the spot and drove them out of the palace."

Speaking of this, Taoist Zhang showed a hint of gloating: "But if it weren't for this, how could we have the room to stand out? The Taoist priests of Donghai Temple want to take the lead and were easily driven away. If the Taoist priests in Jiankang City could join forces, they might not be afraid of the Linchuan Academy!"

Chen Qiao thought to himself that you may not be your opponents to Ru Yan Kehui.

"In this way, why did we enter the palace today but we didn't see anyone from Linchuan Academy coming forward?"

Taoist Zhang: "You are just a first time, no wonder you don't know that shortly after you ascend the throne, King Shixing rebelled. Ru Yan Kehui was helping to quell the rebellion with the army. The empress dowager was in charge of the central government. The prime minister was not withstand the heat of the weather, so he moved to another palace to deal with the government."

Chen Qiao suddenly realized that no wonder the emperor was unscrupulous. It turned out that there was no tiger in the mountains and the monkey was called the king.

"If the Empress Dowager finds out about this, she may not have a chance on the emperor, but she will always take our anger?"

Taoist Zhang: "It's okay, I've found out clearly. Although the Empress Dowager was born in a Confucian school, she did not reject Buddhism and Taoism. Unlike the old stubborn man, Ru Yan Kehui, who wanted to eliminate all the Buddhist paths in Chen State. She knew that the emperor had the eyes of the emperor, we were cautious in our words and actions, and we would never have any trouble."

He is a good person, but he is very wise to Chen Qiao. However, even if the empress dowager will take his anger and blame him in the future, he will not be able to resist the temptation of people's hearts and glory. As soon as the Taoist priests in Donghaiguan were expelled, the emperor was summoned, and the place was full again.

Of course, there is also a fake Taoist priest.

Chen Qiao couldn't help but look at Yan Wushi again. The other party looked straight and sat quietly with his eyebrows. He really had a bit of a sense of Taoism.

After a while, a young man with a whisper on his lips walked out from behind the screen with a slight whisker.

Everyone stood up and saluted.

Master Chen's steps were neither fast nor slow, with a kind of leisure and calmness unique to the nobles. Such steps have been around for a long time and have a romantic style in the Jin Dynasty. In the eyes of many people who admire the family, this is the attitude that the superiors should have.

The other Taoist priests obviously would not think as much as he thought. When the emperor arrived, they all began to turn in their minds, hoping that they could win the emperor's favor today and to a higher level from now on.

After Lord Chen sat down, he first asked the Taoist priests: "I have read all the books of the philosophers. Confucianism values ​​benevolence and righteousness, Buddhism values ​​the next life, but Taoism values ​​this life. I wonder what good ideas do you have about this?"

The closer the seat is, the more the emperor pays attention, and everyone answers one by one in sequence.

One of the Taoist priests surnamed Lin said: "Buddhist says that people have three lives, but who can perceive the past life in the next life? The Taoist sect does not agree with the so-called accumulation of virtue in the past life and wealth in this life. Just as the reason why Your Majesty is in the Nine Five is that Your Majesty is the birth of the Ziwei Emperor Star in the sky. Since it is the emperor star, how can you come from the past life in the next life? Therefore, I think this is very wrong! With Your Majesty's talent, if you practice diligently, why worry about not being able to ascend in the daytime and return to the immortal class?"

Master Chen was very interested: "According to the Taoist priest's opinion, how should I practice to return to the immortal class?"

Taoist Lin: "Well, the Taoist practice method is based on internal martial arts, supplemented by precious elixirs, and you will be able to become an immortal. I have a lot of experience in refining elixirs and I am willing to encourage you."

Master Chen: "Okay, then how should you find the internal strength and mental method you mentioned?"

Taoist Lin looked embarrassed: "I am ashamed, everyone has their own strengths. I am specializing in refining alchemy, and I am not very familiar with the internal martial arts. However, Xuandu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain are both a hundred-year Taoist sect. If Your Majesty sends people, they will definitely follow everything."

Chen Qiao: "..."

He was speechless about Taoist Lin's behavior of pulling people into the water.

Lord Chen snorted coldly: "Xuandu Mountain has accepted the enthronement of the Northern Dynasties. I heard that it is still necessary to Jianguan in Chang'an. However, the Northern Dynasties are lackeys. What talent can such a person have? Qingcheng Mountain can send people to see it. If Yi Bichen is really capable, I might as well follow Xuandu Mountain and enthrone him with a name so that he can serve the court!"

But suddenly someone chuckled during the meal.

Chen Shubao angrily shouted: "Who is this!"

Yan Wushi put down the wine bottle in his hand, not at all angry with the king. The guards were wary and said slowly: "I laughed at His Majesty for not knowing gold and jade. There are experts here, but they insisted on leaving the near and far. Yi Bichen Kong has a reputation, but he was defeated by Hu Lujiu. What's the point of being powerful?"

Chen Shubao sneered: "Oh? So, the master you mentioned is yourself?"

Yan Wushi: "That's not."

Chen Shubao was born as the legitimate son of the queen and was named the crown prince. He had a smooth journey. Apart from the frightened moment he was when he first ascended the throne, he had never had any troubles and difficulties. Naturally, he was not arrogant, let alone the emperor, so this attitude was normal.

Before the other party was angry, Yan Wushi pointed in the direction of Chen Qiao: "The emperor wanted to find a master, but he turned a blind eye to the master."

Chen Qiao: "..."

He finally knew what Yan Wushi was doing when he was infiltrated.

This is a cause of trouble, commonly known as a smashing place.

Did he hurt him so much that he wanted to take revenge on him like this? Chen Qiao couldn't help but think so, and a hint of melancholy flashed through his heart.

Master Chen was indeed distracted and followed Yan Wushi's pointing, looking in the direction where Chen Qiao was sitting.

At this glance, I couldn't help but exclaim.

Chen Qiao was sitting at the door just now. Because the light was too bright, the emperor did not pay much attention. Now, after carefully examining, he found that the other party was actually a person like a zhilan orchid and jade tree.

Master Chen couldn't help but ask: "Who are you and where are you practicing Taoist temples?"

After this, Chen Qiao could not pretend not to hear it. He straightened his body and bowed to salute: "If you are asking, I am a mountain Qiaozi, who has traveled from the north, is currently living in Baimen Temple."

Master Chen's anger that was aroused by Yan Wushi's arrogance just now disappeared, but he was still kind to Chen Qiao and smiled: "Since the Taoist priest can be recommended by someone, he must be famous outside, but I have never heard of it?"

Chen Qiao said: "Your Majesty is too rewarded. I am just a Taoist in the mountains and fields. I am unknown and no one cares about it. I don't know why this fellow Taoist was going to recommend me just now."

He kicked the ball back directly.

Master Chen didn't care. He was no longer interested in Yan Wushi, and asked Chen Qiao again: "I don't know what I have about refining alchemy?"

Chen Qiao shook his head: "I am not good at practicing elixirs, I only practice one way."

Master Chen: "What path is being cultivated?"

Chen Qiao: "The way of sentient beings."

This is his nonsense to the palace, but when facing the emperor, he still copied it intact.

Master Chen said, "What is the way of sentient beings?"

Chen Qiao: "The more ordinary people practice Taoism, the more they pay attention to being pure in their hearts and few desires, and stay away from the mortal world, they can achieve enlightenment. However, my ruthless Taoism requires me to be in the soft red of ten feet, to read the glory and wealth of the world, and to enjoy the experience carefully, and to achieve enlightenment."

He was serious and looked solemn. No one would have thought that he was talking nonsense, but he would have doubted that he had never heard of such a saying.

Yan Wushi smiled and took another sip of wine, thinking that my Ah Qiao had learned to be rude without changing his face.

Lord Chen was overjoyed: "Isn't this the Tao that I have been searching for for a long time? Please stay in the palace and teach me!"

Chen Qiao said: "I travel around the world, and my whereabouts are uncertain. I just came to the palace to answer your doubts for you, and I asked you to forgive me because I felt that your Majesty was devoted to the Tao."

Master Chen chuckled: "The Taoist priest's words are a bit inconsistent. Since you are practicing the Tao of affection, you will naturally be rich and noble in the world. I can give you the ultimate wealth. Why do you refuse? Is it because you want to get and refuse?"

This young emperor just doesn't like to govern politics and enjoy pleasure, which does not mean that he is not smart. On the contrary, he has made great achievements in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and poetry. He can be called a talented man among the emperor, far more widely than Yang Jian's shooting and hunting.

Chen Qiao's face did not change his expression: "Your Majesty's words are bad. The way of sentient beings is not necessarily lingering in the palace to cultivate it. Don't you hear the prosperity of the world? Qinlou and the restaurant are not a place to practice? Besides, I am lucky enough to see Your Majesty's beauty now, but I just don't say anything that I can't be happy."

Master Chen raised his eyebrows: "Say it."

Chen Qiao: "The way of sentient beings does not stop wealth and honor in the world, but also means the welfare of all people, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although everyone is greedy for the former, as the king of a country, Your Majesty hopes that he will not forget the latter."

The so-called sentient beings were actually Chen Qiao casually verbally tempted the emperor. He didn't expect that Lord Chen was really happy and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, so he said this to persuade him.

Master Chen disagreed: "The Taoist priest is a lot of worrying about it. Isn't it a waste of resources for being like a god like you? If you want to advise me, you should stay and discuss the truth with me every day."

At the end, the words are meaningful and imaginative.

Chen Qiao heard something strange, but never expected that the emperor would have different thoughts about him. He just felt that meeting was not as good as being famous. Although Chen State was based in the south and its territory was not as good as the northern country, Chen Shubao's performance was obviously far inferior to Yang Jian. The north was sharpening his sword, and Yang Jian was busy stabilizing the Huns and stabilizing the government and the country. Chen Shubao did not go to quell the rebellion, but became interested in the refining of immortality. According to this trend, maybe in a few years, the victory or defeat would be determined.

The two of them asked and answered questions and looked at others without anything. The Taoist priests who were eager to stand out were already dissatisfied. They all said and said to each other. Some of them stood up for the emperor and accused Chen Qiao of not knowing the great kindness of heaven, while others hurriedly recommended themselves to the emperor, saying that they were better than Chen Qiao.

Yan Wushi suddenly chuckled: "A Qiao, do you know why I am not optimistic about the Southern Dynasty?"

Before Chen Qiao could speak, he answered someone else: "I don't know that Master Yan and Master Chen Dao were coming, and he was in a position to welcome him. I hope he would forgive him."

While speaking, a woman walked in surrounded by the servants and guards.

Master Chen changed his color when he looked at it, and quickly got up and held his hands: "I have seen my mother!"
