Chapter 42: Cui Shizi of Qinghe, Wukang Wen Yiren

"This Guangling County is not a big county, but this Wukang County is even smaller!" A young man in a Chinese costume complained to the old servant behind him: "Why don't I let me rest in Guangling City? I have to rush to the remote Wukang County to rest."
The old servant arranged other servants and maids to sort out some places to settle in the Taoist temple.
Several serious Taoist priests enthroned in the Taoist court watched the group move around in front of the carriage, and smiled and pinched the golden seeds in their sleeves. The old Taoist priest in the lead was so narrowed that his eyes could not be seen.
"Young Master, the master has told you that you must be more careful when you go out as an official."
"There was a big deal before Guangling City... The real masters of the Taoist Sect had come to Guangling and seemed to be searching for something... Soon after, the true disciples of the Taoist Sect went down the mountain! It is said that as soon as they entered the world, several people went straight to Guangling. Some earth-shaking events might have happened in the cave."
"In order to avoid trouble, I dare not stay." The old servant was respectful but did not give in.
The young man sighed and said, "Since there is a true Taoist teaching, why not let me make friends with you... I went to Jiuzhen County alone to take up my post... This aristocratic family in the southern land has always been incompatible with my Shandong gentry. Our Qinghe Cui family is still the number one person in the north. Who would recognize me when I went to the south? I wonder why my father asked me to go to such a remote county?"
"Young Master, you only have the third-grade Taoist foundation. If you want to make friends with the Taoist true teachings, you can barely climb up... You are you?" The old servant shook his head helplessly.
"Uncle Wu, are you still my mother's trusted housekeeper the most?" The young master surnamed Cui said very dissatisfied.
"Mrs. I asked me to remind the young master at all times... The third-grade Taoist foundation is really not worthy of the true teachings of the Taoist sect. So instead of being futile, it is better to pass by quickly so as not to get into trouble. Qinghe Cui is also a high-ranking family in the Great Jin Dynasty. But how can you pass the evaluation of Zhongzheng official when you build the foundation? This makes the wife very angry..."
"Instead of deciding to a middle-grade background early, it is better to go to the south to hone your skills. The wife specially wrote a letter to her in-law Lu family, so that the Lu family could take care of her son. Jiuzhen County has several opportunities, which is quite consistent with the young master's physique. She can sharpen her Taoist foundation and go to the next level... At least she also needs a second-grade Taoist foundation. It is better for the old slave to explain to her wife!"
Mr. Cui said helplessly: "My achievements are not bad among the friends who are playing together in Luoyang, among the aristocratic families that show up in public. The third-grade Taoist foundation is also the best... Why is my mother so harsh to me? My elder brother wants to preside over the family, so he practiced for sixteen years. When he was at the top of his head, he built the foundation first and achieved a pure Taoist body, which was shocked to be a seat."
"Only the Wang family's 'Yiren Longmen' was named Mr. Wang Yan, who was rated as 'clear rivers and wide, and bright inside.'"
"But I am not the son of the family. Before building the foundation, I cannot drink alcohol and eat lightly. I cannot get close to beauty to avoid loss of energy... How many aristocratic families can be so alert in this Luoyang Jindu? I am usually careful and I usually have less turbid air in my body, but why are I so qualified... What can I do?" Mr. Cui said helplessly.
"Young Master shouldn't take the spiritual pill..." The old servant shook his head and said, "You must accumulate a lot of depth when sensing this level, and naturally the heavenly beings are induced. The young master used the spiritual pill to break through before he could lay the foundation. Otherwise, it would be at least the second-grade Taoist foundation!"
"After the crown, I can't touch the inspiration for a long time." Mr. Cui sighed: "Partners are laughing..."
"So the lady asked the young master to go to Jiuzhen County, which was remote and had no acquaintances, so that the young master could stay away from those friends. The lady said that those who were incompetent and the first-class family of the aristocratic family would either enter the sects of the world early, such as the Tushita Palace, the Taiqing Palace, or the Yuxu Palace, and the Kunlun School, which needed opportunities, we dare not curry favor with them. But the Dragon and Tiger Xuantan, which is the inner gate of the Dajin Taoist Court, often accommodated the children of the aristocratic families."
"And like Luofu Sect, Qingxu Mountain, Kunming Sect... Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Sword Sect, Taihua Mountain, Qianyuan Mountain, Kongtong Sect, Yunxia Palace, Jiugong City, Jinting Yuquan, Baicao Sect, Shennong Hall, Danxia Sect, Wuyue Sword Pavilion... These slightly inferior families are all from the disciples of the aristocratic families."
"Even the Western Regions' outsiders such as Meishan, Zhushan, Miaoshan, etc., Manichaeism, Xingyue Sect, Vajra Temple, etc., are more fond of our aristocratic families."
"Isn't the spiritual pill that I break through the induction the same as the secret spiritual pill in the Taoist yard? I asked when I took it. The disciples in Zhengyi Dao often take this pill to break through the induction, which will not hinder the subsequent practice... Otherwise, I would have to 50 liters of Qingming Han Spring and 50 pounds of jade chips Guigui Sand?" Mr. Cui murmured and complained.
"My wife is talking about the true disciples of these sects, and the rest are not in the eyes of the wife." The old servant Wu Bo sighed: "Anyway, the wife has already given instructions, young master, don't think about making trouble. Before, because you were hiding the matter of getting a spiritual pill, all the maids around the young master have been sent to the wife by all the maids."
"Now that I am here, no one dares to listen to the young master!"
After hearing what the old servant said, the men and women who were busy carrying miscellaneous items trembled slightly. The family was very strict, and although the mistress would not die, she would never have a future.
Mr. Cui sighed helplessly and entered the Taoist temple honestly. Wukang County was small and remote, and he was knowledgeable and didn't want to go shopping at all. So he casually asked the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple: "What are some strange people and hermits nearby? The boy was about to go to Jiuzhen to take up his post and wanted to recruit a few heroes and strange people."
The old Taoist priest who was a wise guest replied with a smile: "Wu Kang is remote, there are no strangers, nor have you ever heard of any heroes and capable people..."
Mr. Cui casually stuffed a pair of spiritual beads, all the size of a longan and full of spiritual energy. Although it was not produced by the best spiritual beads in the sea, they were also spiritual beads from the Great Lake Shell Field, which were of great value.
The Taoist priest took the spirit bead and his little eyes widened several times.
He racked his brains and remembered a rumor in the past few days: "But a fellow Taoist seemed to have come to the county in the previous month. Someone had seen a abandoned house in the county town. Every day, spiritual clouds rose and fell until almost noon. It was probably because of a fellow Taoist who was collecting energy... The fox tomb near the nearest seemed to be abandoned. I heard that a Zuodao from Meishan had come here in recent days... He was so arrogant and seemed to have no end."
"This fellow practitioner has never heard of evil deeds. I have seen foxes migrate in the grave in my temple, and I have received the guidance of this fellow practitioner. I am probably a righteous monk. The young master can make friends with you."
Mr. Cui was immediately excited when he heard this and said, "Why can't it be possible to pass by Wukang when the door is coming down the mountain and coming to Guangling? Since there is such a rumor, we have sufficient etiquette and come to the door to search. Even if we disturb one or two, it will not be a surprise. The person who comes..."
He called the two of them and said, "Prepare gifts for me, let's go visit one or two."
