Ru Nu acted extremely respectful. Before leaving, she also gave a gift, which she specially used a carved wooden box to hold, which was quite exquisite.

"A little slight gift is not respectful." Ru Nu said.

Yang Yun said: "When you come to the door empty-handed, you don't have any etiquette to come to the door, how can you still accept the gift?"

Ru Nu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I am here and I can't ask for it. It's because my family is not very welcome... Don't worry, it's not a generous gift. It contains tea. Mr. Yang takes it back to try it. If you think it's good, you will come to your door to deliver it in person in the future."

When Yang Yun heard this, he was no longer polite. He took the wooden box, took it in his hand, and left.

When I walked away, when I turned around, I saw Ru Nu leaning on the door, smiling and beautiful face, revealing a faint concern. The light green gauze skirt swayed in the wind, giving people a sense of quietness and beauty in the sunset.

...

...

Yang Yun had no intention of drinking tea, so he took the tea back and left it on the shelf.

He wants to prepare for the Dharma Assembly in the coming day.

In the afternoon, Zuixianlou was still in the backyard kitchen. Yang Yun checked the things sent by Liu Hengzheng in the front lobby, including a book of "Tao Te Ching" that Li Longji personally annotated.

This is the Taoist scriptures that were personally interpreted and printed and distributed by Li Longji at the beginning of the year. According to Li Longji's idea, everyone in the Tang Dynasty should have a book, but in fact, ordinary people can't afford books at all, and they can't understand them even if they buy them back.

Liu Hengzheng sent the book to let Yang Yun understand Li Longji's understanding of Taoism. If he asked about Yang Yun's affairs about Taoism in the future, he would also be able to answer calmly.

Seeing that the afterglow of the sun completely dissipated, Yang Yun closed the "Tao Te Ching" and was about to go home when he suddenly heard a noise at the door.

But a group of rangers passed by with flags and shouted something along the way, and many people followed behind to join in the fun.

"Is this a march?"

Yang Yun walked to the door and took a look. A group of people had gone far away.

He Wuliu rushed out of the crowd and arrived in front of Yang Yun.

Yang Yun pointed to the group of people who had gone past and asked, "What are they doing?"

He Wuliudao: "Will the emperor go to Dakong Temple to attend the Taoist Dharma Assembly tomorrow? Someone called on the people of Luoyang to go and watch the ceremony together."

Yang Yun said in surprise: "As Liu's intention, the number of people will be strictly limited tomorrow. How could anyone stand up and call on people to attend this Dharma Assembly?"

Because the emperor was going to attend the next Japanese Dharma Assembly, Luoyang prefecture and county governments would control traffic around the Dakong Temple, and no one was allowed to approach one day in advance. Yang Yun could not understand that someone called on people to attend the meeting.

He Wuliu shook his head: "I don't understand this little one, but it is also possible that they are not from the government..."

Yang Yun was full of doubts.

"Since the earthquake occurred, some people have secretly linked this to the orthodox nature of the throne of Li Longji. People's rumors have spread everywhere. This time, the renovation of Dakong Temple is so hasty. Does anyone want to take the opportunity to shake Li Longji's throne? And these people who call on the people to come to watch the ceremony also seem to have an ulterior motive..."

Seeing a group of people leaving the house for noisy, Yang Yun didn't think much about it. He knew that such a thing could not be mentioned to Liu Hengzheng. With his current identity, he could just take care of himself.

The political struggle has nothing to do with him for the time being.

"As long as the Dharma Assembly is held smoothly in the coming days," Yang Yun said in his heart.

...

...

Early in the morning, Yang Yun packed up his belongings and prepared to go to Dakong Temple.

In addition to Yang Yun attending, the three girls of Yarou, Anlun and Yidan will also follow him to participate in the grand event.

Since Yang Yun attended the meeting as an independent person, he could naturally lead a helper. Except for Yaqing who was too young and was not suitable for attending a gathering with too complex environment, Yang Yun was preparing to bring all the other three disciples with him in case of emergency needs.

Yang Yun and his party had not set off yet, and Yang Yuhuan came uninvited.

Yang Yuhuan was panting. Because she ran too fast, her cheeks were flushed and her forehead was sweating profusely. After entering the door, she asked directly: "Is Silang going to Dakong Temple?"

Yang Yun was a little surprised and reminded: "Uncle San sent someone to inform him yesterday, saying that his sister was not allowed to go to Dakong Temple..."

Yang Yuhuan pouted: "Uncle San and Aunt San wouldn't let me go, but in such a lively occasion, I haven't seen it once for several years, how could I miss it? Especially if I have the opportunity to meet the emperor! Silang, hurry up and find me a Taoist robe and I'll go with you."

Yang Yun understood what Yang Yuhuan meant, and she was going to attend the meeting as her assistant.

Because Yang Yun was a Taoist priest specially invited by the prefect of Henan, even if he was not the host, he was very close to the emperor. As an assistant, Yang Yuhuan had the opportunity to get close to the emperor and took the opportunity to "discharge" Li Longji.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "My sister is really scheming... What should I say to her?"

Seeing Yang Yun's face feeling embarrassed, Yang Yuhuan frowned slightly, and asked, "Silang, you won't want me to go like uncle, do you?"

Yang Yun said with a bitter face: "Sister wants to go, I should help...but, I'm thinking about how to keep my sister from showing any trace..."

Yang Yuhuan gave Yang Yun a blank look and said, "I have already thought about it. As long as I put on a Taoist robe and followed you, and apply a little black and gray on my face, no one will pay attention to me... I have been learning Taoism for many years, are you still worried that I will make you ugly?"

Yang Yun nodded helplessly: "Okay, sister, please change into Taoist robe and hide your peerless look a little. Remember not to attract attention today. I just want to gather the number of people when I attend the meeting. I can listen to me in everything."

Seeing Yang Yun's agreement, Yang Yuhuan responded quickly: "Okay, I've heard Silang all today. Silang told me to go east, I will never go west."

...

...

After packing up, Yang Yun and his party headed to Dakong Temple.

However, he cannot go directly to the Dakong Temple. Before that, he has to go to the convergence point arranged by Liu Hengzheng. Today's Dharma Assembly will be held at auspicious time, that is, near noon. The government will preview the entire process in advance, but the location is not in Dakong Temple.

It was still half a mile away from the Dakong Temple, and the lights were decorated everywhere. The collapsed houses next to the road were temporarily restored. If they were not repaired, they were blocked with curtains, which made the road look spacious and tidy.

Due to the blockade, there was no ordinary citizen except for the officers and soldiers to maintain order, but a large number of people gathered at the back door of Dakongguan.

"Master Yang, why did you come so late?"

Liu Hengzheng was waiting in the lobby of a teahouse on Qianmen Street, Dakongguan, a little impatient. When he saw Yang Yun coming, he hurried forward.

As the Yin of Henan, Liu Hengzheng was not the organizer of the Dharma Assembly. The only Taoist priest he invited was Yang Yun, but Liu Hengzheng also brought many followers to him.

Yang Yun said: "Don't the Dharma Assembly be held until noon?"

Liu Hengzheng sighed: "If the emperor comes in person, you can't be hasty... the rehearsal has begun. Come with me quickly."

Yang Yun was still thinking about where to rehearse. When he followed Liu Hengzheng to the backyard, he saw many people setting up incense tables, and a few people who looked like they were not Taoist priests but were wearing Taoist robes, which seemed to be scattering yellow talismans there.

"What are they?" Yang Yun asked in confusion.

Liu Hengzheng said: "The people who came to the Dharma Assembly today are the most famous immortals in the world. People have not arrived yet, so they can only ask someone to give a preview."

Yang Yun thought to himself: "The host didn't come at this time, so I asked me to take the post of the host for the time being and make trouble here?"

Yang Yun asked, "I wonder which three Taoist seniors were hosting the Dharma Assembly today?"

"In fact, I have heard from you. The three immortals who attended the meeting today are Changchun Zhenren, Taoist Master Dimin, and the other one is unknown. There are rumors that they are Master Luo Tian."

Liu Hengzheng said with longing.

Yang Yun had met the real person Changchun and was unfamiliar with Taoist Master Dimin, but the last mention of Master Luo Tian was very familiar with him. Yang Yun thought he was Luo Gongyuan, the Taoist priest who was as famous as Ye Fashan and Zhang Guo in the world.

Among the three Taoist priests, Zhang Guo Lao, among the Eight Immortals, will not talk about it. Ye Fashan was the Taoist talisman Tianshi Maoshan Sect. He lived in the five dynasties of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Wu Zetian, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Ruizong of Tang, and Xuanzong of Tang. He died in the tenth year of Kaiyuan, at the age of 107; Luo Gongyuan is said to be born in the first year of Wude, that is, the year when Emperor Gaozu of Tang became emperor and founded the Tang Dynasty. He is 115 years old so far, and is one of the most famous Taoist priests at present.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "Changchun Zhenren invited me to be his assistant. Could it be that he felt ashamed of knowing that Luo Gongyuan was coming, so he found an assistant, right?"

Liu Hengzheng said: "The imperial carriage will arrive at noon, and then the three immortals will appear. Before this, we must go through all the procedures of the Dharma Assembly so that we will not lose it when we are in the battle."

Yang Yun said: "Then how many fellow Taoists are there now?"

Liu Hengzheng looked at Yang Yun and said, "I only invited Master Yang. In addition, the Palace has sent someone here, but the rehearsal is there. Whether the preparations are made carefully here and what magic tools and materials need to be added, Master Yang must come and decide."

When Yang Yun heard this, he knew that Liu Hengzheng was cheating him.

He said he was asked to assist the Dharma Assembly, but in fact, the so-called assistance was just to determine whether there were any necessities missing based on his knowledge of practicing Taoism. This was no different from starting a move.

"In this way, the rehearsal was successfully completed, so there is no need to go to Dakong Temple?" Yang Yun asked.

Liu Hengzheng was stunned and then smiled and said, "Master Yang can naturally enter... When the Dharma Assembly is in progress, isn't there anyone else to respond?"

Yang Yun understood now.

The so-called collaboration means doing a good job as an assistant, which may be handing over a magic sword, or throwing a spell on a spell, or acting as a tool person.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "There is no difference between me or not in this method."

"Master Yang first check the items prepared by me. Is there any missing items?"

Liu Hengzheng saw that Yang Yun was dissatisfied and quickly brought the list, hoping to complete the inspection before Yang Yun gave up.

Yang Yun took the list and looked at it. It listed many magic weapons and materials for casting, including talismans, peach wood swords, incense candles, banners, etc.

Although Yang Yun is not from a Taoist genius, he has seen pig runs even though he has never eaten pork. He also knows what he probably needs at the Dharma Assembly.

"How is it? Is there any missing?"

Liu Hengzheng asked impatiently when he saw Yang Yun put down the list.

Yang Yun did not say enough and said, "Most of the Taoist sects do similar rituals, but they have different needs involving different sects and each fellow Taoist sect. How can we generalize them?"

"Ah? That's...what is missing?"

Liu Hengzheng was immediately panicked.

This time, the earthquake occurred in Luoyang, and Liu Hengzheng had been under great pressure. The repair of Laozi's Taoist statue was frustrated and he felt uncomfortable. This Dharma Assembly and the subsequent restoration of Taoist statues were related to his official position and future, so he could not ignore it.

Yang Yun said: "The three people who presided over the Dharma Assembly today are all senior masters. They should pay more attention to the Dharma Assembly and will bring their own magic tools...those things in the ordinary Dharma Assembly may be difficult to catch their Dharma eye."
