Chapter 365 Pixiu and his father
After returning to the "Lanruo Temple", Li Chengqian discovered something that surprised him. It turned out that the big loli not only knew the words, but also wrote very well, at least much better than what he wrote.
Therefore, the big loli had an extra task every day to help Li Chengqian write novels, and the first book started with "The Romance of the Gods".
The guy Tang Sanzang had already gone to Gaochang in the second year of Zhenguan. If Li Chengqian heard it correctly in Dongshi, the old monk seemed to have arrived in Ufuna (the Swat region of Pakistan).
By chance, Li Chengqian heard a businessman from the Western Regions say that, and when he saw the merchant's admiration expression, he knew that Tang Sanzang was afraid that that guy was going to be popular.
What happens if Tang Sanzang is popular? Li Chengqian feels that if he guessed correctly, Buddhism will prosper; what happens if Buddhism is prosperous? If he guessed correctly, the country will lose a lot of taxes because monks do not pay food.
So Li Chengqian decided to take action first, start with Taoism, first help it up, and then work together to suppress the old monks.
This is also why Li Chengqian suddenly found Qin Ying and talked to him about "The Romance of the Gods".
However, after Li Chengqian made such a trouble, Li Er's mind began to hurt again.
"Second brother, Taoist Qin Ying has been looking for Gao Ming for five days, so why don't you ask him?" Queen Changsun asked softly while rubbing Li Er's forehead to relieve the pain.
"Ask? Why do you ask? That kid doesn't tell the truth at all. If you ask him, he has a hundred words waiting for you. If you scold him, he has a thousand reasons to deal with you." Li Er sighed, with a deep sense of powerlessness in his tone.
I thought this kid would calm down if he didn't get in the court, but unexpectedly, he turned his face and extended his black hand to the religious side.
If it weren't for the emperor's identity, Li Er really wanted to sigh to the sky: What kind of evil did I have done in my previous life? Why did God send such a guy to punish me!
"But second brother, you can't see him messing around, right?" Empress Changsun added some strength to her hands and said with some anger.
"Guanyin maid, that bastard is not yet an adult, so you should take care of it." Li Er hesitated for a while, and finally decided not to ask Li Chengqian, so as not to be angry with that bastard.
But it’s a pity that God does not follow others’ wishes. Just as Li Er muttered to his wife to criticize his son’s faults, the voice that gave him a headache came in: “My Mother! Queen! Please help me see if this thing is true or false!”
"It's so silly, noisy!" Looking at Feng Fenghuohuo's son running in, Li Er's anger came without even calling him.
"Uh, my son has met my father." Li Chengqian, who rushed into Changsun's residence, couldn't help but shrink his neck and looked at Empress Changsun with a look of help.
Looking at his son who was sweating all over his head, Changsun rolled his eyes to him, then gently held Li Er's shoulder and said angrily: "Second brother..."
"Okay, okay, I've convinced you two, I won't say anything." Li Er raised one hand, made a surrender gesture, then turned to Li Chengqian, stared at the long box in his hand and asked, "I want your mother to see what it is, bring it to me to help you."
Li Chengqian had a bitter face and shyly handed the box in his hand to Lao Li respectfully, feeling very upset. He didn't count the old man here, but it seemed that the thing he had just obtained was probably not guaranteed.
"Well, judging from the quality of this box, I'm afraid it's been a while." Li Er did not open the box directly, but just held it in his hand and looked around, nodding and said to Queen Changsun beside him.
"Well, it looks like it's over a hundred years." Empress Changsun read no less than Li Er's book. Even if she didn't get started, she could read it with her eyesight alone.
"I'll see what good things are here." With Li Chengqian's eyes in distress, Comrade Li opened the wooden box in his hand and took out a scroll from it.
Pull open the thread tied on it, hold one end by yourself, and the other end is held by Queen Changsun, spreading it back little by little.
Then, after the scroll was unfolded by a quarter, Li Er was stunned, and Changsun's subordinate who unfolded the scroll was beaten. The couple were stunned at the same time. After a while, they looked at each other and said in unison: "The Goddess of Luo River!"
Yes, the scroll was indeed the "Goddess of Luo River", which was a blackmailed by Li Chengqian just blackmailed from the old Taoist Qin Ying. Originally, he just wanted to get the Queen Changsun to show off and then take it away, but now it seems that it is 100% unsafe.
With the old man's Pixiu-like personality, if Li Chengqian could touch another finger of this "Lotus Goddess Fu Picture", even if he had never traveled through time in vain in his life.
The half-opened scroll was rolled up again, and it was taken to the table before opening it again. Looking at the nervous look of Li Er and Changsun washing their faces with clean hands, Li Chengqian finally understood why the old Taoist Qin Ying looked so weird when he saw him holding the painting in his hand.
After a cup of tea, Li Er, who had seen enough painting, looked up at Li Chengqian who was bored and asked in a deep voice: "What about the others? Why is there only the second volume?"
"No, there's only this volume." Li Chengqian spread his hands.
"Where did you get this volume?" Li Er asked again.
Li Er did not have much hobbies in his life. He only loved calligraphy and painting very much, and made great achievements in calligraphy. His calligraphy is good at official script and once personally wrote "Book of Jin: Biography of Wang Xizhi".
So after seeing the "Lotus Goddess Fu Picture", he naturally couldn't put it down and couldn't wait to know where the other four volumes went.
Of course, if this was replaced by Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection", Li Er would probably be able to kill someone by taking out a knife.
"This volume was borrowed by the old Taoist priest Qin Ying, and it will be returned in a few days." Li Chengqian struggled hard to see if he could get the "Lotus Goddess Fu Picture" back.
Later legend says that after Li Er died, he brought the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" into the coffin. If the "Picture of Gods and Fu" falls into the hands of the old man, Li Chengqian cannot guarantee whether the old man will take it away as well.
However, Li Chengqian seemed to underestimate the old man's shamelessness, and all the expectations in his heart were ruthlessly shattered by Li Er's words.
"I understand. Go back and say to Master Qin Ying, and say that you can lend me this painting for a few days. If he needs it in the future, come here to ask me for it. Also, next time he comes, please ask him where the other four volumes are now, don't forget."
