Chapter 259: One Hundred Seven: Summoning

Li Chan returned to Guangzhaifang from Qianyuan Academy. Cangmi Lane was as lively as usual. Most of the residents of Guangzhaifang recognized the Qianyuan scholar. When he saw him riding a donkey, he greeted him one by one. Some gave tofu, some gave sugarcane, and some asked the red medicine lady in the mansion why she hadn't gone out to buy it recently. Until someone asked about the morning demon book, everyone stopped talking and held their breath and waited for Li Chan to answer.

Only then did Li Chan see the faces of the peddlers and barbarians. Although the world has been peaceful for more than 20 years, except for young men and women, the older generation has experienced the pain of war. A few days ago, the saint was assassinated, and people in the capital were already in panic. Since the paper birds flying over the sky in the morning to the present, most of the day have passed, and the demon books have spread in Yujing City. If those who have read the demon books are knowledgeable, they can naturally see that the writers who wrote the book intend to stir up the demon atmosphere. However, the literary world of Yujing City is prosperous, and although there are many knowledgeable people, more are two-legged bookcases that think they are knowledgeable but unconscious. After these people spread the demon books, the people thought that the saint would die in a few days. King Yu was ready 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 knew that in the eyes of the people of Yujing, the Qianyuan Scholars were like gods. If the Qianyuan Scholars were in trouble, the people would only be even more panicked. He originally planned to say no, but hesitated for a moment, but changed his words: "Don't worry, those words are just plain words. This matter has already appeared, and the case will be closed soon."

Seeing Mr. Li's answer, everyone finally felt relieved. Someone asked: "Mr. Li, I think the remarks in that book are quite reasonable, how can I say it is nonsense?" As soon as this was said, someone else laughed at me: "Liu Silang, it's fine if you have a few poems and essays on weekdays, how dare you question Mr. Li?" Liu Silang immediately blushed and tried his best to defend himself.

Amid the laughter, Li Chan rode a donkey through the crowd, pretending to be relaxed on her face, but there was a hidden worry in her heart. Looking at the still prosperous Yujing City, his heart flashed through the dilapidated street market outside the pass.

He left Cangmi Lane, and a man approached and called "Sir Li". He turned around and saw a man in green coming from the edge, as if he had been waiting at the entrance of the alley. The man's eyes were introverted, and his every move was consistent with the fluctuations of the heaven and earth's energy. He was obviously a cultivator. Li Chan didn't know his purpose and stopped the black donkey. The man in green asked, "I heard Mr. Li say that the origin of the demon book has already appeared. Is it true?"

Li Chan asked back: "Who is your lord?"

When the man in Qing saw Li Chan, he did not ask questions, but said, "Someone invited Mr. Li to meet him and asked Mr. Li to come to Qixiangtai, Daxiangguo Temple in three o'clock."

Li Chan asked, "Who?"

The man in green did not answer, and attacked Li Chan, then turned around and walked into the crowd, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yuance led Li Chan to the top of the Great Buddha Hall and left the same way. Li Chan turned around and watched Yuance go downstairs. The big Buddha hid in the winding sandalwood smoke. The green snails arranged neatly arranged above the Buddha's head were tolerant. He withdrew his gaze and stepped onto the stairs leading to the terrace outside the hall. The Qixiangtai was hanging under the eaves west of the Great Buddha Hall, extremely open. Looking to the sky, it was dusk, and the red clouds were as bright as fire. At first glance, it seemed as if the entire Yujing City had been burning.

...

Yuanzhu was preaching to Li Yin, and Li Yin did not just listen and asked back from time to time. Even his different views on the intentions could make Yuanzhu concentrate and contemplate. Yuanzhu's contemplation was not a pretentious gesture. Although the emperor today had the intention to suppress Taoism and destroy Buddhism, it was not revealed. Xuanmen respected him as a living real person, and Buddhism also called him the present Buddha. Although these honorific titles were added because of the position of the Human Emperor, Li Yin himself was also proficient in the learning of both religions.

The morning demon book case disrupted Li Chan's one-day arrangement. He came back from Qianyuan Academy and hurried to Yiquan Pavilion and Chongxuan Office. When he came back, he was approaching Shen Shi. He was both puzzled by the invitation of the mysterious man in blue. After all, although the man concealed his identity, if the visitor was not good, he would not have to plot against him in this way.

There were two backs standing beside the railing. One of them was the presidency of the Daxiangguo Temple, Master Yuanzhu. He was once a famous monk in the world. He was wearing a jade robes on his shoulders and preaching to the other person beside him. The man was holding his hands behind his back, facing the setting sun, and the presidency turned his body and bowed slightly.

So, as soon as Shen Shi passed, Li Chan left the door. He entered Daxiangguo Temple again. The monk whom he had contacted when he was asking for Mo came up enthusiastically and said endlessly that he had already seen that Mr. Li was not an ordinary person. Li Chan asked the monk to lead the way to Qixiangtai, but the monk refused to say that it was a forbidden place in the temple. While the two of them were talking, they approached the Great Buddha Hall. The monk Yuanguan in the temple stood downstairs and stepped back to the monk, saying to Li Chan: "Mr. Li, I have been waiting for a long time."

There are thousands of flying towers in Yujing City, among which twelve flying towers are called the Sun and Moon House, corresponding to the twelve hours of sun and moon travel. Standing on the top of the Great Buddha Hall of Daxiangguo Temple, from east to west, you can see all the seven buildings of Yanggu, Xianchi, Fusang, Birds, Lianshi, Menggu, and Sangyu among the twelve sun and moon houses. So the terrace on the top of the Great Buddha Hall is named Qixiangtai. On the platform, there is a bronze man wearing cloud dragon fire pearl armor, driving a six-dragon carriage, and there is a daughter of pounding the sun on the carriage, which is opposite to the terrace at the entrance of the temple that is said to be able to condense the moon. It is rumored to be able to collect the essence of the sun.

The monks and Taoists in Dayong Kingdom have a very high status. Although Daxiangguo Temple is not a Buddhist holy place, it is the richest Buddhist temple. There are very few people in the world who can be so respected by this temple. Looking at the towering back, Li Chan guessed the origin of the person who invited him, but he did not expect that this person was Emperor Dayong Li Yin.

Li Chan waited for the two to talk about Buddhism after Qixiangtai, but Li Yin didn't ask him to wait for long. After only a moment, Yuan Zhu left, bowed to Li Chan, and passed by him.

Li Chan walked up to Qixiangtai, secretly paying attention to the movements around him, and found that Li Yin was only alone. He couldn't help but think that if Li Yinzhen was seriously injured in Qiushou before, he wouldn't have been so careless. Thinking of this, Li Chan's concerns disappeared a little. He didn't care about the dispute over the crown prince, but only knew that Li Yin could be more peaceful in the world for a long time.

"I am here to see the saint." Li Chan leaned over to salute. On the Qixiangtai, the shadows of Li Yin and the Six Dragon Car were pulled very long by the setting sun. Li Yin summoned him to see him, but he was not in the palace and did not report his identity. Obviously, he wanted to avoid the eyes and give him a secret decree. The position of Youyi Envoy of the Capital was granted a year, and I am afraid that he would no longer be a free agent today.

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