Chapter 636
As soon as Xiao Xixi heard her signature gossip demeanor, she knew that she was going to explode next, so she responded accordingly.
"Remember, what happened to him?"
Yao Zhaoxun: "I heard people say that his Taoist name is Kongchan."
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but complain: "This name is more like a Buddha's name."
Yao Zhaoxun agreed: "Who said no, if I hadn't seen him in person, I would have thought he was a monk just by hearing the name."
Xiao Xixi motioned for her to continue.
Yao Zhaoxun: "Now the emperor trusts him very much. He takes him with him all day long. I heard that he even gave the emperor to make pills."
Xiao Xixi: "What kind of pills are you refining?"
Yao Zhaoxun shook his head: "I don't know about that. It should probably be an elixir that can make the body healthier."
It is well known that the emperor's body is getting weaker day by day. All the methods that the imperial physicians can use have been used. The emperor's condition has never improved. With the emperor's character, he is definitely not willing to give up like this.
He probably thinks that since medical techniques don't work, he should ask God to worship Buddha and try it.
Can a dead horse be used as a living horse doctor?
Yao Zhaoxun continued: "The queen mother should have an opinion on Kong Chan, and she deliberately beat Kong Chan twice. After the emperor found out about this, the emperor asked the queen mother not to interfere in her own affairs. The queen was very angry, and the mother and son were in trouble. Rejoice."
The emperor is not someone to be fooled. Kongchan can make the emperor help him in front of the queen mother, which is enough to show that Kongchan has real skills.
Xiao Xixi became more and more curious about the origin and purpose of Kong Chan.
"Do you know where Kong Chan came from?"
Yao Zhaoxun: "I heard that he came from Xuanmen. I have never heard of a Taoist temple called Xuanmen. He must be lying."
When Xiao Xixi heard the word Xuanmen, her heart moved slightly.
"Then do you know where he lives now?"
Yao Zhaoxun: "I heard that he lives in Sanqingguan now."
Sanqing Temple is the largest Taoist temple in Shengjing City. It is not surprising that Kong Zen is valued by the emperor.
Xiao Xixi decided to go to Sanqingguan in person.
The prince gave her a token before leaving, and as long as she held the token, she could leave the palace at any time.
Early this morning, she changed into the clothes of ordinary people and went out of the palace in a carriage.
Along with him was Shang Kui, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army.
Zhao Xian followed the prince to Xiling County, and now all the Yulin army is under the control of Shang Kui.
As the largest Taoist temple in Shengjing City, Sanqing Temple is blessed by the royal family, and its reputation spreads far and wide. Naturally, there is no shortage of believers. People come here every day to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Xiao Xixi went directly to the Sanqingguan Guanzhu Tiandao.
Tian Dao Ren originally had a cooperative relationship with the prince, and was barely a member of the prince's faction.
He learned that the prince and concubine came to find him, and naturally he was warmly entertained.
Xiao Xixi didn't go around in circles with him, and explained his intention directly.
"Does Kong Chan live with you?"
Tian Dao Ren nodded: "Yes, he is attached to our Sanqingguan, and we are responsible for food and lodging."
The so-called affiliation is just a name in the Sanqingguan.
Tianyiren is showing that Kongchan is not a person of Sanqingguan.
Xiao Xixi: "How is he?"
Tian Dao Ren smiled and said: "People are naturally good, well-informed, and very gentle in dealing with people and things. Even if they are highly valued by the emperor, they still have no air."
In fact, he is a little bit uncomfortable with Kong Zen.
Obviously he is the watcher of the Sanqingguan, but the emperor prefers an empty Zen who kills halfway.
This made him feel a little unbalanced.
Xiao Xixi didn't know the little Jiujiu in Tian Dao Ren's heart, she thought about it and asked again.
"Do you know the origin of Kong Chan?"
Tiandao people saw that Concubine Xiao was very interested in Kongchan, and Concubine Xiao was the prince's favorite concubine. The reason why she came to investigate Kongchan was probably because of the prince's inspiration.
So Tian Dao Ren did not hide it, and said slowly.
"He said he came from Xuanmen. You shouldn't know about Xuanmen, right? It is a hidden sect. It is said that everyone in Xuanmen is very capable. Pindao has long admired Xuanmen, but he was not fortunate enough to see it with his own eyes. Xuanmen's demeanor, the late emperor once spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to find the whereabouts of Xuanmen, but he has never been able to find any clues."
Speaking of this, Tian Dao Ren had a look of longing on his face.
That look Xiao Xixi was very familiar.
In the past, when she was in high school, when the female classmates around her were chasing stars, she would show such a lunatic look.
Xiao Xixi was in a delicate mood.
She did not expect that the Taoist priest was actually a fan of Xuanmen.
I'm still chasing stars when I'm old, it's amazing!
When Tian Daochang saw that she didn't speak, he thought she was not interested in these things, so he turned the topic to Kong Chan again.
"Kongchan said he came from Xuanmen, but I don't really believe it."
Xiao Xixi: "Why?"
Tian Daoyi said righteously: "Xuanmen is a hidden world sect, what is hidden world? It is hidden from the mundane world, thinking that the late emperor spent so much energy to find the whereabouts of Xuanmen, but the people in Xuanmen still did not show up. , This shows that Xuanmen disdains to participate in the mundane world, but Nakong Chan took the initiative to approach the emperor, which is contrary to the principle of Xuanmen."
Xiao Xixi looked at him like this, and thought again of those female classmates in high school. When they faced idols being smeared by others, they were the same as the one who grew up with the sky.
She asked, "Can you take me to see where Kong Chan lives?"
Kong Chan had to go to the palace every day to preach to the emperor, so he was usually not in the Taoist temple during the day.
Tian Dao Ren hesitated: "This is not very good."
Xiao Xixi took out an amulet from her sleeve and handed it to him: "This is my thank you gift."
Tian Dao Ren is a know-it-all. He saw at a glance that this amulet was extraordinary, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Where did you get this amulet from?"
Xiao Xixi: "Don't worry about where I came from, just tell me, can you go to Kong Chan's residence?"
Tian Daoist grabbed the amulet and put it into his clothes like a baby.
"Go, Pindao will take you there."
The Sanqing Temple is very large, and the internal layout is built according to the Taiji Bagua diagram, which is very particular.
Tiandao explained while leading the way.
"Kongchan likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed, so his residence is in the innermost Taoist temple."
Since Kongchan was relied upon by the emperor, many people came to look for Kongchan recently. Unfortunately, Kongchan was almost never in the Taoist temple during the day, and all those people rushed to nothing.
At night, Sanqingguan closed the door to thank guests, and people outside would not even want to see Kongchan.
Tiandao people stopped.
He pointed to the door next to him and said, "Kong Chan usually lives here. He went into the palace early this morning, and now there should only be his apprentice in the house."
Xiao Xixi was curious: "He still has an apprentice?"
