Yue Zhongqi is a very honest person, and his honesty has been very clear and direct since he was a child.
When his cousin took away his beloved toy, he just smiled, unwilling but not stopping him.
Because his mother said that the elder brother must give in to the younger brother. Although his mother could not explain why the elder brother had to give in to the younger brother, he still remembered his mother's words.
His mother also told him that suffering a loss is a blessing. Although her mother still could not explain why suffering a loss is a blessing, he still remembered this sentence, so he never argued with others.
After entering Shangyang Palace, the master told him that cultivation is actually a process of self-improvement, for oneself, and only through self-improvement can one improve others.
He remembered again.
His understanding is that when he is not good enough, he is not qualified to give advice to others.
In fact, what the master wanted to tell him was that spiritual practice is the same as morality. If your own morality is not noble enough, then you cannot blame others for not being morally noble enough.
But no matter what he remembered, he still practiced the rules he had set for himself as always.
For example, the elder brother must give way to the younger brother. When he first entered Fengyu Temple to practice, he was actually selected, and the one who competed with him was his cousin, so he gave up.
Later, his cousin became a priest of the Dali Sect and wanted to transfer him to Fengyu Temple as a priest of rituals, but he felt that his own virtue and cultivation were not enough, so he refused.
Later, there was a vacancy for a priest in Little Ruyi City, and no one wanted to come to such a closed and difficult place.
His cousin said, how about you go? After you accumulate merit there for a few years, you can legitimately come to Fengyu Temple.
Already.
So he came.
But a few years later, his cousin was seriously injured after a battle with Yan Beisheng, the leader of Chaoxin Sect in Northern Xinjiang.
What happened to him in Little Ruyi City was forgotten, but he didn't blame anyone. He felt that maybe he didn't accumulate enough, otherwise why would no one remember him?
As long as your merits and practice reach a very high level, you will naturally not be forgotten.
He is honest, but honest people often have another characteristic... acknowledging death.
Even his master couldn't change the truth he believed in. For example, when he had the opportunity to practice in Fengyu Temple, his master said that you don't have to be humble, and you should fight for what you have to fight for. His answer
Yes...my mother said that the elder brother must obey the younger brother.
Thirty years later, Yue Zhongqi left Xiaoruyi City with a few of his disciples, and spent more than ten days walking to the seat of Qingzhou Prefecture, which was called Qingzhou City.
The Shangyang Palace branch in Qingzhou City is naturally very large. There are thousands of disciples in this branch, and all of them are as high as their heads.
So when Yue Zhongqi, who was wearing a patchwork brocade robe, came to the branch with several disciples who were also wearing patched clothes, even the disciples who were on duty as gatekeepers thought they were liars and dared to deceive them.
Yang Gong is here.
The disciple looked at them with contempt and said nothing, but the meaning in his eyes was already very clear... How dare you to pretend to be a disciple of Shangyang?
When Yue Zhongqi took out his priest's token, the disciple checked it five times and still felt that it might be a fake.
So he didn't take this
Instead of returning the token to Yue Zhongqi, he took the token to see his master. After checking it, his master confirmed that it was genuine. After going out and taking a look at Yue Zhongqi, he also felt that it might be a fake.
So, this token came into the hands of Mo Guli, the priest of the Qingzhou branch. Mo Guli looked at it carefully for a long time and recalled it for a long time. Finally, he remembered that there was indeed a very small branch in Xiaoruyi City. It was so small that he had forgotten it.
Already.
The reason why we built a Shangyang branch in a remote and poor place like Xiao Ruyi City was because the people there were ignorant.
However, Shangyang Palace had forgotten a separate seat in Shangyang Palace.
Mo Guli personally welcomed him out, because in his opinion, an old monk who could persevere in such a difficult place for thirty years deserves respect.
When he arrived outside the door, Mo Guli was stunned when he saw that the people who came were all wearing Shangyang Palace brocade robes full of patches. Even before going out, the disciple had already reported that the people who came looked like fakes, because Shangyang Palace's brocade robes were full of patches.
How could people from Yang Palace be so dishonorable?
Only when I met him did I realize how disgraceful this was.
The brocade robe worn by Yue Zhongqi had at least twenty patches on it, and it looked more like a hundred-neck robe.
Not long after, under the surprised gazes of the disciples from the Qingzhou branch, a fellow disciple from Xiao Ruyi City walked into the branch gate with a face of shame.
Yes, the people from Little Ruyi City were really ashamed. Seeing the disciples in the Qingzhou branch looking so glamorous, they didn't think about why they didn't have such clothes, but blamed themselves that they should have been given to them.
Yang was embarrassed.
What kind of people teach what kind of disciples?
Yue Zhongqi's honesty influenced all Shangyang disciples in Xiao Ruyi City.
When it was time to eat, the disciples who came from Ruyi City were even more shocked.
Yue Zhongqi shook his head repeatedly and said: "How can you be so extravagant in order to receive us?"
What's his idea? This is how people in Qingzhou's seats eat on weekdays. Compared to the past, there are only one or two more dishes.
Hearing his almost confessional voice, Qingzhou Priest Priest Mo Guli was a little embarrassed, but none of the disciples in Qingzhou thought it was extravagant, and no one even thought about it deeply. They all laughed at Little Ruyi City in their hearts.
How can a fellow disciple of Shangyang be such a coward?
They felt that their classmates in Little Ruyi City had been embarrassed by Shangyang, and the disciples of Shangyang in Little Ruyi City felt the same way.
They sat in front of a table full of delicacies, and everyone felt uneasy.
Yue Zhongqi even wanted to get up and resign. He felt that eating these things was simply a form of torture for his spiritual practice.
But Mo Guli said that it would be a waste if he didn't eat. This sentence hit Yue Zhongqi's heart, so he had to sit down uneasily.
His disciples thought it was delicious to eat such delicacies, but they had to carefully hide what they thought was delicious, while Yue Zhongqi only found it difficult to swallow.
While eating, Yue Zhongqi mentioned that he wanted to go to Fengyu to watch.
Mo Guli asked: "Brother, why do you want to go to Fengyu Temple?"
Yue Zhongqi replied: "The acting temple master sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the imperial court is planning to ban Fengyu Temple. I plan to go and have a look and ask the imperial court why this is happening?"
Mo Guli said: "The imperial court has not explicitly stated that it will ban Fengyu Temple, and
From the official documents issued by the imperial court, it can be seen that they are still trying their best to protect Fengyu Temple, so senior brother there is no need to go, and besides, you won’t be able to say anything if you go there in your capacity.”
Yue Zhongqi became confused: "Why can't I speak when I go there as me?"
Mo Guli didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Because he is well aware of the gap in voice caused by the gap in status. Who would care about a priest in a small Ruyi City?
But Yue Zhongqi felt that since he was a disciple of Shangyang, whether he was a priest, a priest of ethics, or just an ordinary disciple in white robes, as long as he was really for the good of Shangyang, he could speak and be able to
Express your thoughts.
His views once again aroused bursts of ridicule from the disciples in the Qingzhou branch, but they did not say anything, but wore the ridicule on their faces.
Mo Guli persuaded patiently: "In my opinion, the court will not ban Fengyu Temple at present. Moreover, the acting temple owner still has a generation name after all. He cannot really represent Fengyu Temple. Maybe he is just him."
He felt threatened, so he wanted people in different seats to stand up and support him."
Yue Zhongqi shook his head and said: "This is not support, I think it is protection... Dayu, we cannot live without Fengyu Temple."
He said these words with great determination.
He couldn't explain why Dayu couldn't live without Fengyu Temple, but he firmly believed that Dayu couldn't live without Fengyu Temple.
He would not even extend the expression: If Dayu does not have Fengyu Temple, then can Dayu also not have Shangyang Palace?
He just feels something is wrong, and if it’s not right, he will say it.
"I think, senior brother, why not take the disciples to relax in Qingzhou for a few days, and I will personally accompany you to visit Qingzhou
, and then arrange for someone to escort senior brother back to Little Ruyi City."
"in addition......"
Mo Guli said: "Senior Brother's thirty years in Xiao Ruyi City was Shang Yang's fault. No matter what, it was Shang Yang's fault. I will report this matter and I will definitely report it."
Yue Zhongqi thought, what's wrong with this?
"I am a disciple of Shangyang. It should not be wrong for a disciple of Shangyang to sit anywhere in Shangyang Palace."
He responded stubbornly, not understanding Mo Guli's kindness at all.
So Mo Guli was slightly unhappy.
Because Mo Guli really felt that Yue Zhongqi was so stubborn because of his unwillingness. How could a person who had been forgotten for thirty years be so calm?
Yue Zhongqi just wanted to use this matter to cause trouble in Geling City, and also take this opportunity to get Shangyang Palace to admit his mistake to him.
He had already expressed that he would report this matter, but Yue Zhongqi still didn't appreciate it, which was too much, so Mo Guli's displeasure gradually appeared on his face.
"Senior brother."
Mo Guli's face became serious: "The thing about Feng Yuguan may be that Chen Weiwei wants to strive for higher interests. He may want to be the head teacher, so he asked people from different seats to go to Geling City to support him. At this time
Whoever goes first will naturally be disliked by the court."
Yue Zhongqi sat there and answered seriously: "Da Jade cannot live without Feng Yu Temple."
Mo Guli took a deep breath and explained patiently: "If senior brother insists on going, then it is better to stay in Qingzhou for a while and wait for someone to go first. Senior brother will not be too late to go."
After Yue Zhongqi thought carefully for a long time, he gave his answer.
"Shangyang disciples defend Shangyang, why should we wait for others to do it first?
Go after yourself?"
Mo Guli suddenly understood.
This fellow disciple who has been in Little Ruyi City for thirty years is not an angry and unwilling person, he is a pure person.
So his contempt and dissatisfaction with Yue Zhongqi just now was instantly put away, and he sat upright to face it.
"Senior brother."
Mo Guli explained again: "Although according to Shangyang's teachings, the disciples of Shangyang are equal, and even ordinary disciples can talk to the real master as equals, but after all, that is just a line in the teachings, not the real situation."
"There are still differences in status. Senior brother, you are the chief priest of Xiao Ruyi City. When you go to Geling City, you can't see the assistant ministers in the office. Even the governor of Geling Mansion may not be able to see you.
See, let alone you want to see His Majesty?"
"The scale of the Qingzhou branch is larger. As the priest of the Qingzhou branch, when I go to Geling, I will not be able to see the assistant ministers of the office. However, the governor of the Geling Mansion may take time to see me.
But what’s the use?”
Mo Guli said: "Brother, if you go, you won't be able to help Fengyu Temple. Besides, you may be used by Chen Weiwei."
Yue Zhongqi replied: "I still want to have a look. If the imperial court really has no intention of banning Fengyu Temple, then I will take my disciples back to Xiaoruyi City. If the imperial court wants to ban Fengyu Temple, then I will definitely ask for it."
See His Majesty."
Mo Guli sighed: "What if Your Majesty wants to ban Fengyu Temple but doesn't see you?"
Yue Zhongqi solemnly said: "Your Majesty is a disciple of Shangyang, the master of Fengyu Temple, and the real person in charge of the teaching. Your Majesty is Shangyang. Your Majesty wants to ban Fengyu Temple... Then your Majesty is the traitor of Shangyang."
only!"
One sentence scared Mo Guli so much that his heart almost stopped...
He just looked at this fellow disciple, and suddenly he felt something extremely terrifying contained in such an honest man.
