It's dark, but half of the monks are outside.
"The gate will open early tomorrow. Come in then."
It's a headache to send too many monks into the city, so only half of them came in today.
The city gate closed slowly, and the monks and Taoists went back in groups.
There was a place for them outside the city, but they were hotels.
Sometimes those on their way miss the time to open the city gate and can only stay outside the city for one night.
The accommodation conditions in these places are not as good as those in cities, and most of them are in emergency..
However, monks can't be picky about the environment.
The group pulled apart and rushed to the prosperous area outside the capital.
The streets are spacious and the houses are neat.
This is outside the city.
With the calm of the north, the security situation in the capital is very good, so the population is gradually increasing.
Naturally, there are no more people living in the city, and the price of buying a house in the city is too expensive. It's better to live outside the city.
At present, Chaozhong does not encourage people to buy houses in the city, mainly because shuntianfu is complaining, saying that the population in the city is increasing, the management is troublesome, and there are problems in all aspects.
For example, daily supplies of various materials and public security management.
There are so many things. Fortunately, the kings and officials in the court all know the hidden danger of too many people in the capital, so they raise the cost of outsiders entering the city to buy their own homes.
Then the outside of the city naturally became the only choice, and gradually became prosperous.
The party went to their own resting place.
There were small officials outside the city to guide, and the food and accommodation of these monks and Taoists were covered by the court.
"They are all great virtues. Do you dare not discount?"
The petty officials lazily deal with the shopkeeper and force them to reduce the price.
As for the reduced money, it is naturally their hard work.
The shopkeepers also think it's cost-effective. After all, it's half dark and there won't be many more guests tonight.
The petty officials succeeded, so they cheered up.
"Master, please come this way."
"Taoist priest, come here. Don't confuse it, or we won't care about the fight."
In a burst of confusion, monks and Taoists followed to wash.
The food is better after washing.
The staple food is big steamed bread, the dishes are vegetarian, and the most is tofu and gluten.
Everyone had been hungry all day, so when they smelled the smell of food, there was a burst of intestinal chirp.
The leaders of those monks and Taoists whispered orders to let everyone obey the rules.
"This is the capital. At the foot of the emperor, we should be sincere when we come to pray for the crown prince. Peace of mind means sincerity..."
Outside came the sound of hoofs, soon.
Some young monks and Taoists couldn't help looking outside the inn.
"Be quiet!"
In front of those petty officials, teachers were naturally ashamed and annoyed.
The sound of horse hoofs stopped outside the inn, and then a group of people came in.
The shopkeeper thought he deserved to be rich today. He welcomed him and saw only more than ten people. Then he thought about it and thought he could settle down. He smiled and said, "are the guests staying in the hotel? The store is enough."
The visitor looked at the monks and said, "five rooms."
The shopkeeper was delighted and said, "yes."
"Master, there is a room here."
Monks and Taoists occupy most of the inn here. It seems that these people came along.
A man walked in slowly outside. He looked at the monks and Taoists, but asked, "didn't you go to the city?"
"Tanyue is..."
The visitor said slowly, "in the next world, ordinary people, you are outside the city, but you have sinned against me. How much you offend."
Several old monks and Taoist priests had more eyes, and then saluted one after another.
"Eat."
People went upstairs, but when they came down later, they had already bathed.
"What do the guests eat?"
"Noodles."
Most of the monks and Taoists had eaten well. More than ten people sat down and waited for the meal.
A few officials who had finished the meal were picking their teeth, talking about the fact that the mushrooms had not stuffed their teeth, and their eyes turned on the more than ten people.
After eating noodles, the man called master got up and went outside.
"No night outside!"
A small official said lazily, with a look of vigilance in his eyes.
Another petty official slipped into the shadow and disappeared.
The man said, "you shouldn't ban it tonight."
He should go out first, followed by more than ten people behind him.
The monks and Taoists on the second floor were watching, and someone said, "this man is looking for death. When he is caught by those sergeants on patrol, it coincides with the coronation of the crown prince, most of them will be exiled."
"I reminded him just now, but I still have to go out. It can be seen that I don't take the rules seriously. It's my own death. No wonder others."
"Without an adult, it's probably the person who went to inform the military and Horse Department of the five cities."
"Is it the patrol inspection department outside the city?"
"No, I heard that the outer city will be built here in the future, so I'm still a member of the military and Horse Department of the five cities."
"Eh! After that, it will be big here. Think about where the outer city will expand."
“……”
It is impossible for monks not to pay attention to the world. They are human first, and then have the identity given to them by the sect.
Monk!
"Who! Stop!"
At this time, a fierce drink came from outside. Those young monks and Taoists were eager to go out to see the excitement, but they were scolded by their teachers.
"Uncle..."
"Yes, I will pay attention to this section of the inspection."
The noise outside rises quickly and stops quickly.
Several old Taoists whispered together and went out of the inn.
"Is it an uncle?"
"Oh! I can't see it just now. You see, he eats noodles and snores like those coolies. He doesn't look like an uncle."
Several monks discussed together for a moment, and later three monks left the inn.
What's the meaning of this?
Those monks and Taoists were watching and felt that the teachers' actions were somewhat secretive.
……
The stars are bright tonight, and the smell of soil comes from the air.
"Do you know what it tastes like?"
Fang Xing asked.
A Taoist who had just been investigated said in amazement, "the smell of the night wind."
The spring breeze is blowing and slightly cold.
Fang Xing said, "when spring ploughing is over, the soil is turned up. This is the smell of soil."
The two Taoist priests smiled awkwardly.
"Xinghebo, what will be the constitution of the crown prince this time?"
A Taoist looked at Fang Xing and asked.
The sergeant of the night patrol has gone away, and the servants are patrolling around seemingly lazily.
"What are you?"
Fang Xing asked.
The two Taoists looked at each other and said sternly, "Xing Hebo, we naturally want to guide people to good in the countryside."
This is too empty. When the monk came, Fang woke up and asked, "Fang is just sleepless for a long night. Why, masters?"
A monk approached and said, "but Xing and Bo face to face?"
Fang Mou, uncle, these outsiders determined Fang Xing's identity with these two.
The so-called outside has never been a real quiet place.
Fang woke up and nodded. The two monks joined hands as a gift.
"Xinghe Bo, tomorrow we will pray for the crown prince and Daming. This is what we should do. After returning, we will naturally have a green lantern and an ancient Buddha, but we don't know the future..."
The old Zhu family is mostly biased towards Taoism, so they gave the title of real person to the family in Longhu Mountain. Although they didn't give it to the Heavenly Master, they are already very preferential to the Buddhist family.
However, with the success of Zhu Dijing, Yao Guangxiao's influence on religion was revealed.
The existence of Qingshou temple has always been an anomaly, and the reconstruction of Dabaoen temple is a harbinger of the rebirth of Buddhism.
But in Zhu Di's eyes, the sect that can help itself is a good sect.
Therefore, Taoism is still very moist by taking the initiative to take refuge at the beginning.
However, although Buddhism does not rise to the top, its life is still not bad.
