Chapter 18: The Big Brother Temujin Angry at the Carnival
July 15th, the 15th year of Jiading
The silk and bamboo pipes in the Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain played the tune of "Jie Peiling". From a distance, you can see the pilgrims on the mountain climbing like clouds, rubbing shoulders and heels, and the fragrant mist in the palace is like clouds, constantly rising into the sky.
This day is the Ghost Festival, because this year the Mongolian army marched south to attack the Kingdom of Jin.
A few months ago, the only remaining corner of the Central Plains was cut into two enclaves, east and west. Directly south of the gap was Xiangyang. Countless Han refugees poured into Xiangyang. Zixiao Palace opened a porridge factory and hired servants.
Seven or eight villages have been settled at the foot of the mountain, and thousands of people in the entire Wudang Mountain are living off Zixiao Palace.
Today, the gate of ghosts is wide open, and the Taoist priest of Zixiao Palace held a fasting meeting to pay homage to the souls of the dead. Not only the villagers from the mountains and the mountains and the people of Junzhou came to burn incense, but even the believers from as far away as Xiangyang also arrived early, just to pray for the chance to be there.
A stick of incense is burned in the Zixiao Palace where the living gods sit, seeking a stable life in today's troubled times.
While Taoist Zhici and others were presiding over the Zixiao Palace Zhaidip Conference, in a small wooden house a few miles behind the Zixiao Palace, Lin Qingxuan, Li Mochou, Guo Jing, and Huang Rong were drinking tea and talking.
It turned out that a few days ago, when Lin Qingxuan and Li Mochou were playing on the streets of Xiangyang, they saw Guo Jing and Huang Rong walking in a hurry.
Lin Qingxuan was obviously wearing a Taoist robe. Guo Jing and the other two came to see him and told him the situation. It was Hua Zheng who conveyed the news to him through two white eagles. The Mongolian army would go south to attack Xiangyang in a few days. Guo Jing was determined to protect his family and country, so he
After postponing her marriage, she wanted to come to Xiangyang to report the news and help defend the city. Huang Rong's heart was with Guo Jing, so she came with him.
After Lin Qingxuan learned about the situation, he thought that Tuo Lei was the commander-in-chief in the original work, and since Genghis Khan was still seriously ill, the war could not be won.
So he instructed the two men to sneak into the Mongolian tent to inquire about the news, and told them that he was watching the sky at night. The Sirius star in the northwest was dim, and Genghis Khan Temujin was probably about to die, so there was a high probability that the Mongolian army would not be able to fight this time.
After giving guidance to the two of them, Lin Qingxuan went to Lu Wende's residence in person, and as an outsider, told him that Guo Jing and Huang Rong came to help him, which was beneficial to Jiangshan Sheji and him. Lu Wende had no ability and was indifferent to Lin Qingxuan.
He obeyed the advice and was even more delighted when he heard the words. He immediately handed over all matters of defending the city to Guo Jing.
Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Lin Qingxuan took Li Mochou back to Zixiao Palace.
Lin Qingxuan first came to Li Mochou to meet with Senior Brother Sun Desheng, and then summoned the six major disciples and disciples.
The disciples met with the Palace Master and the Red Lian Sanren in the Zixiao Hall.
Lin Qingxuan was anxious to practice. He just met his disciples and went to the elixir room to refine the elixir. When the elixir was ready, he took Li Mochou to the back mountain monastery to practice.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Zhici came to report the next morning that Guo Jing and Huang Rong had come to see them.
Lin Qingxuan thought that it was probably Guo Jing who had already met Torre and learned that Genghis Khan was seriously ill and was about to die soon. But he didn't know why he came to see Genghis Khan instead of visiting him.
He couldn't understand everything in his heart, but Lin Qingxuan still asked Taoist Zhici to bring Guo Jing and Huang Rong over.
The small quiet house was empty, and a pair of handsome young Taoist priests and Taoist nuns sat on four futons. Opposite them were a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a petite, slender and beautiful girl.
Lin Qingxuan sipped the tea gently, and Guo Jing also drank the tea respectfully. He was willing to talk and saw that Master Qingxuan had not put down the cup yet so he waited patiently.
Although Li Mochou and Huang Rong each held a cup of tea, they had no intention of drinking it. They just compared their looks secretly. They were similar in age and had different facial features, but they were equally beautiful and attractive. They each had their own merits.
Lin Qingxuan put down the porcelain cup in his hand, and Guo Jing said hurriedly: "Master Lin, if things are as you said, Genghis Khan is seriously ill and seems to be dying soon. He has ordered Tuo Leian to return to his tent to serve him, and he also wants to see me.
Ronger and I discussed it and we felt that the Great Khan was a hero and he always wanted to live a little longer. Your medical skills are superb and you were the most skilled person at that time. If you could go with us, you would only be able to cure the Great Khan temporarily.
If he is ill, he will definitely treat you as his guest. When you and I both persuade the Great Khan not to attack the Song Dynasty, he will probably agree."
Lin Qingxuan burst out laughing when he heard this. He did not expect that he lived near Xiangyang and was so well-known that he would become a savior in the eyes of Guo Jing and Huang Rong to save the Song Dynasty.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Qingxuan felt that if he really saved Genghis Khan, he only needed to keep him alive for a few more years. He was old and weak, and his ambition was gradually fading. It was really possible that he would be willing to promise not to attack the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty was already dead.
The regime is rotten to the core, and there are no capable people when the dynasty changes. Even if it can extend the life, how long can it be extended?
Lin Qingxuan is now a man of few desires and looks down on world affairs. He knows that the dynasty cannot be changed. Originally, he placed his hope in Zhao Zhiyan. This son is both civilized and military. As long as he has great ambitions, he can use the resources of the Quanzhen Sect to help him change.
National destiny.
It's just that people decide what to do and what to do depends on God. It's unclear whether Zhao Zhiyan can be built.
Although Lin Qingxuan's mind was clear and everything was thought through, when faced with Guo Jing's request, he thought that if he could reduce a few wars and save the people from the suffering of war, he would be doing good deeds and saving all sentient beings.
So Lin Qingxuan stroked his beard and nodded and said: "So I will go for a visit. It's just that last year, Senior Brother Qiu traveled thousands of miles west to advise Genghis Khan, but there was no obvious effect. If I go again this time, I really need to extend his life for a year and a half."
, you and Tuo Lei go first, I’ll go as soon as I’m ready.”
Guo Jing was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that his father-in-law and Master Hong spoke highly of Master Qingxuan, saying that he was directly following Master Chongyang of the past. Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, but he could also refine elixirs that could detoxify the poisonous snakes on the old poisonous snake staff.
, and his medical skills are among the best in the world.
Now that the world's best Taoist master has agreed to go to Xixia to meet Genghis Khan, he will definitely be able to cure the sweating disease. Asking him to stop killing and maintain health will also be of great benefit.
Guo Jing knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Master Qingxuan has a heart for all living beings and is compassionate and helpful to the world. The younger generation will be grateful!"
"Jinger, please get up."
Lin Qingxuan gently flicked his sleeves, and a gentle force lifted Guo Jing up.
Because Tuo Lei was still waiting at the foot of the mountain, Guo Jing did not dare to wait any longer and immediately left. Lin Qingxuan and Li Mochou got up to see them off.
Huang Rong came close to Li Mochou and asked softly: "Sister Li, although you are quite senior, I don't like to call you Taoist priest. I feel that you are just like me, but the people you follow are different. Seeing a gentleman
Hu Yun is not happy?"
Li Mochou smiled lightly and said: "It is better to drink wine and grow old together with your son. With the harp and harp at your disposal, it is best to be quiet."
The two women looked at each other and smiled, and then they both felt like they were close friends.
After Guo Jing and Huang Rong came down the mountain, Guo Jing asked on the way: "Rong'er, what did you say to Li Xiangu?"
Huang Rong smiled and said: "Brother Jing, who do you think is more beautiful, me or Sister Li?"
Guo Jing shook his head and said: "Li Xiangu is an expert, how come she is more beautiful than you? Of course you are beautiful, Rong'er. I don't care whether others are beautiful or not."
Huang Rong was happy in her heart and said in a low voice: "Brother Jing, my silly brother, that Li Xiangu is similar to Master Qingxuan. I think she is refreshed and refreshed. She always looks at Master Qingxuan to know that she loves Master Qingxuan."
It’s love that is so ruthless.”
Guo Jing was greatly surprised and said: "This is the case. They seem to be a perfect match for each other. It's just that Master Qingxuan is a master in this world. I wonder if he loves Li Xiangu?"
Huang Rong said happily: "If he doesn't love Li Xiangu, why did he bring Sister Li with him? Of course he loves Sister Li very much. I thought that their Taoist priests are not involved in the world and have no emotions and desires. And Qiu Laodao and the others have blocked it many times before.
We dislike Quanzhen Taoist the most, but now that we know that Master Qingxuan is also a very passionate and spiritual master, we realize that it’s no wonder he is the most powerful figure in the Quanzhen sect.”
Guo Jing was confused when he heard this and said: "How come he likes Li Xiangu the most?"
Huang Rong clasped her hands behind her back and said step by step: "Human beings are born with feelings. Those Taoist priests have little knowledge. They have to say that wives and families are obstacles in the way. They have to learn from monks to be pure and ascetic. I think that is because they are incapable of caring about love and righteousness."
, you are not even a real man, what kind of master do you want to be?
That Zhuangzi is their Nan Hua Zhenren. It is said in the book: Perfect people have no self, gods and men have no merit, and saints have no names. They have no self, so why do they have to follow some bullshit rules? Those rules are better than those taught by Nan Hua Zhenren.
?
They have to be high-minded and deliberately stay away from human feelings, which means they are going astray. I see that Master Qingxuan is brilliant. If he can save the people, he can naturally save Sister Li and himself, hehe..."
Guo Jing groaned and asked: "So you saved Li Xiangu?"
Huang Rong glanced at Guo Jing and said: "Li Xiangu loves Master Qingxuan so much that she is lost in the sea of misery, isn't she? The love between Master Qingxuan and her is mutual salvation. Hey, aren't you my savior too?"
Guo Jing never refuted Huang Rong's words. He nodded and said, "Rong'er, you are right, but I think other eminent monks and Taoist priests have their own reasons for not being flirtatious with women..."
The two of them went down the mountain while talking, and saw hundreds of Mongolian cavalry at the foot of the mountain, led by the fourth prince Tuo Lei.
Tuo Lei was also the son of Zhongxiao. When he learned that Taoist Master Qingxuan of the Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain was the most powerful person in the world, and was also the younger brother of Taoist Master Qiu and Taoist Ma, he was full of confidence in his heart. He thought that as long as Guo Jing could invite Master Qingxuan
Go and treat Father Khan, and Father Khan can sit back and relax.
Dismounting from his horse and coming up to meet him, Tuo Lei held Guo Jing's hand and asked, "Did Master Qingxuan agree?"
Guo Jing nodded and said: "The real person agreed to go. He said he would let us go first. He will go down the mountain as soon as he is ready."
Tuo Lei knew that the master had his own reasons for doing things, so he ordered a group of cavalry to be left to wait. He, Guo Jing, and Huang Rong took the lead and headed northwest to Genghis Khan's royal tent in Xixia.
Lin Qingxuan and Li Mochou sent Huang Rong and Guo Jing away and returned to Zixiao Palace. Lin Qingxuan went to the elixir room to prepare some medicinal materials that would strengthen the body and strengthen the body. He wanted to go alone, but saw that Li Mochou was reluctant to leave.
Qing, smiled and said: "That's fine, you can come with me."
Li Mochou then smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will listen to you and I will not cause you any trouble."
Lin Qingxuan estimated that it would take several months at best to return from this trip, so he called Zhici and other disciples and the nephew sent by Ma Yu, and gave some instructions, and urged them to practice martial arts well so that Li Mochou could
We went down the mountain together.
It was already the next morning. When the Mongolian cavalry waiting at the foot of the mountain saw Lin Qingxuan and Li Mochou, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. The leader was a Mongolian who could speak Chinese. He held up his hands and said, "I dare to ask whether the commander is Qingxuan Zhenren."
?"
Lin Qingxuan nodded, and the Mongolian was overjoyed and said: "Prince Tuo Lei ordered me to wait on the Taoist priest on the way."
Lin Qingxuan said: "In this case, I don't have to walk anymore. You bring two horses, and Chi Lian Sanren and I will ride horses. Let's walk faster so as not to delay your Dahan's condition."
Lin Qingxuan and his party soon left Jingnan Road and headed north to the border of Henan. They saw thousands of cavalry escorting more than a dozen large and small convoys carrying colorful tassel flags and billowing dust.
The captain who led the team went to ask questions and learned that it was Genghis Khan who sent an envoy to Zixiao Palace with the Aragsuled flower band on his behalf and countless gold and silver treasures to show his respect and gratitude to Lin Qingxuan.
Li Mochou briefly looked at the gifts and saw that there were countless silver coins and gold ingots, as well as many porcelains, silks and satins, Western-style tinware, gold and silverware, gemstones, etc. Now that she knew how precious money was, she couldn't help but click her tongue:
"Are these things worth millions? The two-year coins that our Song Dynasty gave to the Kingdom of Jin before were not as much as these, right? Genghis Khan is really generous."
Lin Qingxuan remained calm, but sneered: "He is afraid of death. How can a man like him who has conquered half the world care about money? Now that he knows that I can extend his life, I am willing to give up even half of my country.
But if I can't save him, I'm afraid he will be angry with others."
Li Mochou is still young now, and she is not afraid of death. She said: "Brother, your ability is the best in the world. It will not be difficult to extend his life for a few years, right? This old Khan King really made a big gesture in order to ask you to sincerely take action."
Already."
Lin Qingxuan smiled slightly and said: "It is rare for such a hero to appear in a thousand years. I really want to meet him."
After crossing the Yellow River, the group turned westward. When they reached Jingbian County in the north of Shaanxi Province, they encountered two teams of Mongolian cavalry escorting a convoy loaded with precious treasures to Zhongnan Mountain and Wudang Mountain. In addition to treasures, this time the convoy contained
There was also the edict of Genghis Khan, which consecrated Qingxuan Zhenren as the Great Mongolian Khan’s Confucian Master, and Quanzhen Taoism as the state religion of the Great Mongolia.
At this time, according to the official statement, the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia entered into an alliance to jointly conquer the Jin Dynasty, so the Quanzhen Sect did not dare to neglect this edict and temporarily accepted it. Qiu Chuji also rushed to Lin Qingxuan, who had just entered the territory of the original Xixia, and asked him
the meaning of.
Lin Qingxuan looked at the dusty Senior Brother Qiu and mused: "Genghis Khan wants me to be the Quanzhen Sect as the state religion, and he wants to make me the national teacher, so we will accept it. I just have the status to persuade Genghis Khan and his future successors."
Khan, prevent them from going south to attack the Song Dynasty and maintain the peaceful situation between Mongolia and Song Dynasty."
Qiu Chuji let out a long breath and said: "Our Senior Brother Ma also means the same thing. If Junior Brother has such an idea, it will be a blessing to all our people. When our Senior Senior Brother finds out, he will definitely be overjoyed and make a fuss about passing it on to you."
Already."
Lin Qingxuan smiled slightly, and then said goodbye to Qiu Chuji. The horse team continued to go north, passing through the barren grassland. Not long after, they saw thousands of yurts in the distance in a land with lush water and grass. Passing through them, they could see them from a distance.
At the core of the front is a huge golden tent with a nine-legged white flag that symbolizes Genghis Khan.
After seeing Genghis Khan's golden tent from a distance, Lin Qingxuan knew that he had arrived at his destination.
