Chapter 6 White Lotus Sect
In the evening, Gong Haneda held a banquet, and as the host, he invited Wei Heyi and Lu Heng's master and apprentice.
Gong Haneda worked in the capital and never returned. Wei Heyi and Lu Heng lived here for six years, but this was the first time he met in six years.
According to Miya Haneda, he is back and has to fulfill his rituals.
After drinking and eating, I reminisced about the past again and didn't give up until late at night.
Back at the side courtyard, Lu Heng skillfully burned the firewood stove and cooked soup for his master to wash his feet.
Old Dao Wei called him the Lord and told him not to hurry first, saying, "Come here and talk to the teacher."
Let Lu Heng sit down, and Old Dao Wei looked at him for a long time and said, "Six years ago, I met you in the snow, and I have formed a relationship with a master and disciple since then. Your mind has matured when you were ten years old. In the past few years, I believe you have had many doubts, but I didn't ask me."
Before Lu Heng could answer, the old Taoist raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said slowly: "I came to Liaodong to avoid disaster. You know this. But do you know, what disaster is I avoiding?"
Lu Heng shook his head.
Old Dao Wei sighed and said, "I have a close friend named Yan Shuqin. Seven years ago, I was in a Taoist temple on a hill in Jiaodi, chanting scriptures and worshiping gods all day long. He came to find me, and I talked with him for three days..."
After a while, he changed his voice and said, "Do you know who Yan Shuqin is?"
Lu Heng shook his head.
Old Dao Wei pondered for a moment: "He is the master of Daluo Dao of the White Lotus Sect."
White Lotus Sect!
Lu Heng was stunned by it after hearing this.
Why doesn’t he know the White Lotus Sect? It’s so famous!
Mr. Wei said: "After the great uprising of the White Lotus Sect at Qianlong and Jiajing, the White Lotus Sect declined. However, the White Lotus Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is not easy to die."
"The White Lotus Sect is mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are both lower-level tourists from the rivers and lakes, side-side and left-wing paths, and branches among the two Buddhist and Taoist sects. This Daluo Dao is a branch of the Taoist sect that has transformed into the White Lotus Sect."
"He was a Taoist master and once became friends with Yan Shuqin. Although this person joined the White Lotus Sect, he was a straightforward person and was not an unforgivable person."
"Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Qing Dynasty was broken, and the tentacles from the East and the West reached our land of China. They colluded with the thieves of the Qing Dynasty and tried their best to exploit the people, making the people suffer in a traitor."
"The White Lotus Sect had the intention to instigate the matter. Yan Shuqin found me and asked me to join. I didn't want to get involved in such a thing, but..."
"The Tao Temple where I live, there is a small town at the foot of the mountain. That day, a group of Western monks suddenly came. They took a fancy to the ancestral temple of the big surname in the town and wanted to be converted into a church. The people in the town were unwilling, so they smiled and pretended to be good people, while putting pressure on the thieves."
"The officials of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom made a dog for the Western monks. On the second day, they sent troops to suppress them, killing and injuring hundreds of people!"
"Yan Shuqin told me that such things are everywhere."
"Western people use churches to open the way, fooling the people and selling big smoke, while colluding with dirty officials to exploit the people. They prohibit the people from worshiping ancestors, and tempting the people to worship their gods every now and then. The foolish people are numb. Don't they know that these rice are theirs! But they are bent and squeezed by the Westerners, and turn around and use this rice to fool and bribe them. They make them forget their ancestors and forget their roots!"
"Yan Shuqin said this was a plan to be out of place! If you let this happen, there will be no more China in a hundred years!"
"A teacher's first half of his life was mediocre, and he didn't know the righteousness of the world. Yan Shuqin's words woke him up. As a teacher, he went down the mountain with him and joined the White Lotus Sect."
Lu Heng listened in a daze, his heart was ups and downs.
If the Eastern people used giant ships and cannons to break the backbone of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom during the Sino-Japanese War, then the Westerners would moisten things silently, use smoke and doctrine to erode step by step, and remove firewood from the cauldron, and completely destroy the foundation of China.
"We gathered together, and there were eighteen leaders who participated in the grand ceremony in Liyuantun. Yan Shuqin said that since the government was in violation of the law, we would not abide by the law. The next day, the army was raised and the Western church in Liyuantun was burned."
After the incident spread, Yan Shuqin and other 18 leaders in Liyuantun became famous, and many fellow workers and people came to surrender.
Seeing that the Qing Dynasty was making a big deal, the Qing government sent troops to suppress the incident without saying a word. Under the rain of bullets and guns, the uprising failed.
The eighteen leader died and the fleeing fled. Wei Heyi was separated from others in the chaos and hid for more than ten days, and found that he was already a wanted criminal in the captain's document.
"I came out at night and found Yan Shuqin and found that he was going to have peace with the government!"
"I don't believe in the government. Yan Shuqinben and the government were angry with each other. But as soon as the matter broke out, the government immediately changed its face and sent troops to suppress the next day."
"I was in my seventies at that time and had seen too many things. The Qing Dynasty of Tartars was the most unreliable and disgusting court in all dynasties!"
"The White Lotus Sect has repeatedly rebelled since the Kangxi period, and has been attacked by the anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty. The blood in Liyuantun was not cold yet, but Yan Shuqin turned around and reconciled with the Qing Dynasty officials! What do you think?!"
"I'm both discouraged and angry."
"Later I realized that if I wanted to get a good place in this world, the top priority was to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. If I don't overthrow this bad court, I will be useless if I can't say anything, I will do whatever Yan Shuqin does."
"But I am alone and alone, I am a Taoist priest and wanted criminal. What ability do I have to overthrow the Qing Dynasty?"
The old Taoist priest laughed: "So I thought of a way."
He looked at Lu Heng: "I found a few friends, went to the capital, and assassinated Cixi!"
At this point, the old Taoist priest was silent for a long time.
"But I miscalculated." Old Dao Wei stood up and looked at the moon hunched over: "The world is chaotic. I thought that as long as I killed Cixi, the court of Tartars would lose its control over the world. At that time, the wild dragons and snakes would rise together, and heroes would emerge to support Huaxia."
"But my master didn't expect that the old witch was so powerful!"
The old Taoist's dry hands hidden under his big sleeves were tightly held, making a crackling sound.
"Who knows that the old witch is a top master!"
When Lu Heng heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking.
Cixi is a master?!
Lu Heng completely agreed with the master's plan to assassinate him, and at least half of it. Tongzhi was a coward, and Guangxu is now even more happy. The power of the Qing Dynasty is in the hands of Cixi.
As long as Cixi is killed, it is very likely that the Qing Dynasty will collapse - the situation in the world is so chaotic, and as long as the court becomes chaotic, the people will have a chance.
"The old witch held the power of the priest and controlled the energy of the Shenzhou. With this benefit, she actually practiced the Shamanism method to an incredible state!"
"Although my teacher has some ability, I have invited a few friends, but I have defeated a few moves in front of the old witch! I feel sorry for my friends who died on the spot. The old Taoist barely escaped, which is also a major injury to the foundation."
"I escaped from the capital, covered my way, walked out of seclusion, and came to Liaodong."
