Lin Quan nodded, and let the paper he wrote be burned, burning it to the Empress Dowager Xiaoci like burning paper money.

Lin Quan finished burning this before he opened his mouth to say that he was dissatisfied with this nickname.

Needless to say, this filial piety, the four concubines all have this fixed motto, as for mercy, Lin Quan remembered that in the law, he regarded the people as sons and said mercy, love and education must be said to be kind, and soothing and soothing grievances said mercy.

The first one has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager Xiaoci, the second is difficult to say, and the third can be said, but the ministers of the court and the central government definitely don't know.

Lin Quan thought about it and came to a conclusion that the ministers didn't know how to choose a nickname at all, and finally chose a good name casually, and it was over.

However, Lin Quan thought about it, and he didn't think of any suitable nickname, but since this has been decided, then it will be over.

Because Concubine Xian was imprisoned, in the end, it was the day of several Taoist selections in the capital, which was set on the seventh day of the second month.

On the day of the burial of the virtuous concubine, all the officials were dressed in linen and filial piety, and their faces were heavy, and after the virtuous concubine entered the ground, Lin Quan personally read out the sacrificial text of the saint, and this sacrificial text was naturally Lin Quan personally catching the knife.

After the recitation, after the burning, the hundred officials and the saints kept filial piety for three days, and then returned to Beijing.

According to the ritual system, the saint is not allowed to govern in person for a year, and everything is handed over to the three divisions and six secretaries to deal with.

However, everyone knows that this is a face-saving project, in fact, after the three divisions and six secretaries are formulated, and in the end, it is the saint who guards filial piety to stamp it.

On February 15, Lin Quan received a summons from the saint.

After the sage summoned him in Sanwuzhai, he asked the eunuchs and palace maids around him to retreat, and when Lin Quan saw this situation, he couldn't help but think in his heart, I'm afraid this matter today is not a good thing.

The sage thought for a long time before he said to Lin Quan: "Lin Quan, I want you to do one thing for me, and then I want you to inspect Xiangyun Mansion for me, and on the way to Xiangyun Mansion, you have to do two things. ”

"Sage, I don't know which two things are."

"First Yi'an Mansion heard that an immortal appeared, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoci went out of Beijing, and she also wanted to see if it was a true immortal for me."

When Lin Quan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and was ready to persuade, but in the end he just said: "Your Majesty, ordinary people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the true appearance of immortals." ”

"I believe you in this, and I don't blame you for success or failure. Secondly, I heard that someone had met Emperor Sejong Ren in the Biji Mountain of Xiangyun Mansion. As he spoke, the sage took out a picture of two figures, a man and a woman, and this man did resemble Sejong.

Lin Quan thought that when he helped him with Liangzuo, he also took out such a painting.

As for that woman, Lin Quan was all too familiar, it was his mother Wei Sisi.

Lin Quan took a deep breath and said to the sage: "Sage, the people of Xiangyun Mansion, even if they see the first emperor, they will not draw so exquisitely, even if they are Danqing's skillful hands, they may not be able to recognize this as the first emperor." ”

"I'd rather believe what I have than what I don't. Lin Quan, whether these two things are true or not, I want to find out. ”

Lin Quan was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "If it is true that after Emperor Ren becomes an immortal, he will play mortal dust, what should the ministers do?" ”

"If that's the case, I hope you can tell Emperor Ren that I will wait for his arrival in Zhenyuan Palace, and talk about the relationship between father and son."

Lin Quan saw that Emperor Ren said this, and after saying a word, he didn't say anything more.

Emperor Ren repeatedly told him that this matter should not be known to outsiders, not even Lin Quan's relatives.

Lin Quan said that he knew the balance and would handle this matter properly.

After Lin Quan retired, he accepted his order the next day and inspected the two southwestern mansions for the Son of Heaven.

Lin Quan didn't bring Le Qiong and the others this time, the saint said it so clearly, he naturally wouldn't do this kind of thing that made the saint suspicious.

The saint also sent guards to protect Lin Quan this time, and Lin Quan didn't care about these Ouchi guards, if he was calm today, nothing would happen to him.

Lin Quan's journey, but also the people who come do not refuse, although there is a field and property, but this money and jewelry, no one will be too much.

So Lin Quan was soft-handed all the way, casually promising to thank him for his kindness, and his acquaintance was deep.

When he arrived in Yi'an Mansion, Lin Quan began to ask the prefect if there were any strange people in the city now, and the prefect even said a few, which was nothing more than martial arts and bravery, or Fangsheng Ganoderma lucidum, Tingsheng bluegrass.

Lin Quan knocked on the side, which made the prefect say that there is a Taoist in Wan'an Mountain, who can sleep on the road for more than ten days, no matter the cold winter and wax moon, it is a thin coat, every time he wakes up, he just takes medicine bait and does not eat a hundred grains.

Lin Quan also pretended to be relaxed and said that this was just a trick, this masculine person by nature can also be dressed alone in the cold winter. As for the matter of Bigu, Lin Quan said that he was using five grains at night when no one was around.

The prefect even said yes, Master Lin is worthy of being a person who reads sage books, and he can see through this person's tricks at a glance.

Lin Quan said to the prefect that this kind of stranger likes to fool the villagers the most, and if it is not exposed as soon as possible, it will definitely cause harm in the future.

The prefect hurriedly followed Lin Quan's words and flattered him, he knew that Lin Quan wanted to go in person and rely on this matter to establish his authority, so he didn't say that he would deal with it himself.

The next day, Lin Quan went to Wan'an Mountain, and when he arrived at Wan'an Mountain, it was already the beginning of March, and the flowers were blooming, and the grass was vying for spring.

This familiar place, but the familiar person has long been gone, Lin Quan couldn't help but have a sour eye when he thought of this.

He asked the magistrate where the strange man was, and the magistrate said that he was on the way into the mountain.

When the magistrate was about to send a servant to help, Lin Quan refused to accept and told the magistrate that there was no need to make a big deal about this matter, if he was a liar, he would naturally be arrested when he saw him.

Seeing that Lin Quan insisted on this, the magistrate had no choice but to nod, and Lin Quan and the guards rode to the foot of the mountain, and soon saw a Taoist sleeping on a stone on the side of the road.

Lin Quan looked at this Taoist and said to the guards around him, "You just wait here." ”

These guards had been instructed by Chu Yuanfeng that if Lin Quan wanted to see someone alone, they would all retreat and not listen.

The guards retreated, and Lin Quan walked over and looked at this Taoist.

After a long time, the Taoist opened his eyes, looked at Lin Quan, and said with a smile: "Zhiyong Hou, we haven't seen each other for many years. ”

"It should have been seven years, Immortal Chief, I didn't expect you to practice here."

"Hehe, I'm here, I wasn't waiting for you, but waiting for the Empress Dowager Chu, but I didn't expect the Empress Dowager Chu to be one step ahead of me and ascend to the Tao."

When Bajie said this, he sighed and said: "Empress Dowager Chu, no, if the Empress Dowager Xiaoci goes, then only Chen Xuanshuang will be left among the descendants of the three gods." ”

Lin Quan didn't answer, and listened quietly.

Bajie stretched his waist and said to Lin Quan: "Lin Quan, over the years, you have also experienced a lot of things, have you attained enlightenment?" ”

"Immortal Chief, what do you understand? Do you want to understand the way of immortals? I didn't understand the immortal way, but I understood a lot about humanity. Since ancient times, people have always been blinded by love, unable to see clearly, even if I wipe this mirror from time to time, like sweeping leaves, here is swept clean, and there are leaves falling there. ”

When Bajie heard Lin Quan say this, he recited a good word, and then continued: "Lin Quan, if you can think like this, it means that you have understood, and many people can't even pass this level of understanding. ”

Speaking of this, Bajie pointed to the guards and said, "They are confused and will never know." This can only be up and down in the world. ”

Lin Quan asked what was the use of understanding, he was not the same ups and downs, and he was not much better than those guards.

Bajie looked at Lin Quan, as if he wanted to gain insight into Lin Quan's inner world, and finally Bajie told Lin Quan with certainty: "Lin Quan, you have changed, but you don't know it." If you think about it, did you really understand it before? You know that the fallen leaves can't be cleaned, but you give up on yourself and don't want to clean them? ”

"Although many times, people always feel that they are doing useless work, but in the end, they understand what it means to grind bricks into mirrors."

Speaking of this, Bajie told Lin Quan that now that the Empress Dowager Chu is also free, she should also return to the fairy world.

It's just that Bajie still needs to do one thing before leaving, that is, to go to the Zhaowang Mansion with Lin Quan.

"Immortal Chief, I don't know if you have already accepted King Wu as a disciple." Lin Quan thought that the Empress Dowager Chu had asked Bajie to go to Fengcheng, and Bajie had indeed been there.

Bajie smiled and said: "Go, go, naturally go, I am waiting for the Empress Dowager Xiaoci here, just to tell her about it." ”

Bajie said, and said to Lin Quan: "It's better for you to forget about this matter, remembering it will not benefit you." ”

"Immortal Chief, rest assured, the affairs of the Immortal Family, I naturally dare not speak falsely as an ordinary man. The affairs of the heavenly family, I, a small retainer, dare not speak falsely. ”

Bajie smiled, patted Lin Quan's shoulder, and motioned for Lin Quan to leave.

Lin Quan nodded, but he took Bajie to Yuntai Peak, and Lin Quan went up to that peak again, and there was still the color of blood left in the place where he fell.

Lin Quan gently stroked that place, thinking in his heart, wouldn't it be better if he died here that day.

Now that she is still here, the unruly girl with two swords on her back has slept in the ground.

Lin Quan couldn't help but shed a tear, he remembered the song hairpin head phoenix, but he didn't dare to chant. All he could say was wrong, wrong, wrong.

With a sigh, Lin Quan and Bajie left here.

They did not go back to find the magistrate, but went straight south.

When he arrived at the palace of King Zhao outside Qutong City, King Zhao's expression was not very good at this time, and Lin Quan also told King Zhao that he heard that King Zhao liked Huangbaizhu, so he specially found a Taoist to come to visit King Zhao.

King Zhao thanked Lin Quan for his kindness and let the person in, and Lin Quan said that the person wanted to see King Zhao in the Danfang.

After hearing this, King Zhao nodded, went to the Danfang with Lin Quan, and then ordered Lin Quan to bring the Taoist.

The three poisons who were waiting in the courtyard were led by Lin Quan to the Dan room, and the three poisons walked in and looked at King Zhao carefully.
