In the Shangqing Palace, a group of Taoist priests surrounded Ye An, their eyes full of reluctance. Only then did he know that all the Taoist priests in the Shangqing Palace were about to leave. As for the Shangqing Palace, it would become a place in the Song Dynasty.
Taoist temple, a Taoist temple that is not open to the public.
Who in Tokyo doesn’t know the name of Master Bao Ci Zhengjue? Ye An never expected that the Tian family would give her the entire Shangqing Palace as a temple to become a monk.
These Taoist disciples are pretty good to me, and they are the only ones who can move around in the city of Tokyo.
Of course, because of Taoism's character, it was often Ye An who took the initiative to go to the Shangqing Palace. As for the Hou Mansion, these senior brothers had never been there at all. Now that he knew they were leaving, he still felt a little reluctant.
Taoism is a relatively alternative existence in this world. It does not promote and encourage people to convert as its main means. On the contrary, they pay more attention to self-cultivation. This is the true human nature. To save others, save yourself first and not to interfere with others.
ideas, and do not confuse or intimidate others into following their beliefs.
Ye An still has a great affection and respect for this primitive religion of China. Taoism does not even exclude science. This alone can win Ye An's favor.
In the end, Ye An met Xuan Chengzi. The old Taoist was not surprised by Ye An's arrival. On the contrary, he looked like I guessed it right. The old man said in a serious voice: "You kid, you still know how to see the old Tao off on his last journey."
, I brought you down from Songshan Mountain in vain."
Yes! This is correct. If it weren’t for Xuan Chengzi, he would have gone down the mountain long ago!
Of course, if I hadn't met an experienced person, I wouldn't have had such an opportunity. At least selling potatoes and sweet potatoes to Zhao Songtian's family wouldn't have been so easy.
Even Qin Mumu often lamented his good luck in meeting Xuan Chengzi, and then Wang Yuan.
Now that the "nobleman" Xuan Chengzi is leaving, Ye An naturally wants to see him off. After all, this is the first time that his nominal master has left his side.
Ye An always hopes to gather the people close to him around him, but this is obviously in vain.
The small courtyard in the Hou Mansion has been prepared for Xuanchengzi, and Ye An also made plans to provide for him until his death, but the old Taoist did not appreciate it and said: "Don't break my Taoist heart!" Ye An was speechless.
Speechless.
Why did he break his Taoist heart? Even now, Ye An still doesn’t understand why Xuan Chengzi insists so much...
Seeing Ye An struggling as if he was constipated, Xuan Chengzi smiled: "The old Taoist has been holding it in for a long time, and finally he can relieve his depression! Let me tell you, kid, it's not that you don't like the Taoist sect, but that the Taoist sect doesn't like it.
You! You shouldn’t be my disciple Xuancheng. The old Taoist has carefully calculated that you are both destiny and destiny. In the past, you have never been revealed and returned to chaos. In the future, you can’t guess that you will have a big lifeline. It’s really weird...
...Since the day I met you, you have always done amazing things. You are extremely intelligent and have innate abilities! So I wish I could be your rich prince! Our fate as master and disciple has ended..."
The old Taoist smiled freely, but Ye An was very bitter. While bitter, he still lamented that this divination technique is so damn scary! Damn it, can anyone really know the past and future through divination?
"Master, if you leave, can you teach your disciples the art of divination?"
Seeing Ye An rubbing his hands, Xuan Chengzi rolled his eyes: "Master... ahem, didn't Pindao say that our fate with you is over?"
Ye An didn't care at all: "Let's not talk about it for now, can Zhou Yi's study really predict this?!"
Xuan Chengzi rolled his eyes again in dissatisfaction: "You boy, Zhouyi was made by your Confucian saint, "Yi", why do you still doubt the saint Kong?"
Ye An waved his hand: "That's not true, I'm just a little surprised. You also know that my family's study is to study things, and I have always had doubts about this divination technique. The study of things is a pragmatic study, so naturally...
"
"Boy, don't underestimate the power of the sages. This is impossible to predict. At present, the Song Dynasty is full of troubles and fatigue, and the chaos in the northwest is just around the corner. You'd better assist the officials in the court.
!”
This time Ye An really believed it. The Gong Gong princes in the court, and even Liu E, the official, did not see any problems in the northwest, but Xuanchengzi saw through it.
Ye An stood up in surprise, stared at Xuanchengzi and walked around in circles: "You also calculated this? Can't you?" If he didn't know the details of Xuanchengzi, Ye An would definitely hold his hand.
Call out: "Comrade, let me tell you the way back!"
However, Xuan Chengzi rolled back his sleeves disdainfully and said, "Without learning or skills! Even divination may tell you the details. Only after you have a thorough understanding can you know the pros and cons! Otherwise, how can you just rely on the accuracy of God's will?"
"Master, have you been to the northwest?"
Xuanchengzi nodded slightly and said: "That's natural. As a teacher, I have traveled to the west and north, reaching places as far away as Ganliang Prefecture! I know a lot about the Western Qiang people, and naturally I also know the situation in Huanzhou!"
"
Good guy! This old man in front of you was once an expert who traveled far and wide!
Ye An didn't know anything about Xuanchengzi's past, but he only knew that he had another assignment in the palace. He was the Xitou enshrining officer of the Tian family of Zhao Song. This was a dispatch officer with a serious official status and was a close official of the Tian family.
"Master, do you think it's right for the saint to do this?"
Ye An raised a question that was difficult for Xuanchengzi to answer, and sighed a little: "There is nothing wrong with the saint's approach. The reward is so powerful that it is rare to see it. It is intended to win over the tribes that moved westward, which can be regarded as clever."
Ye An shook his head slightly and said, "But is it too late to do this now?"
"Perhaps there is still time, the saint issued an edict that day, but it is far away from Huanzhou Mountain and I don't know when we can reach it!"
Ye An nodded slightly. It seemed that Xuan Chengzi also knew about the Huanzhou Rebellion. Liu E had even asked him for advice. This was reasonable.
"Master, are you planning to leave and go back to Songshan to rest in your old age?"
Xuanchengzi stood up slowly, raised his back and said: "Now the country no longer needs to contribute to the teacher, and it is stable and peaceful. Although the chaos in Huanzhou will spread, it will not cause major troubles. I will serve as a teacher."
After reaching the age of 80, it’s time to go back and practice Buddhism.”
Ye An knew that Xuan Chengzi had his own obsession, and persuasion was of little use now. Of course, he couldn't be just because of those vegetables this time, but more because he wanted to go back to where he started and pursue the so-called avenue.
!
As long as people have faith, they will become very firm. Ye An envied people like Xuan Chengzi who had faith. He also had faith, but after the Song Dynasty, his faith gradually disappeared.
In this era, Ye An and Qin Mumu are not allowed to have that kind of belief anymore. The proletariat is everywhere, but it is absolutely a fool's dream to really bring them together and work together to overthrow the feudal dynasty.
They had discussed the feasibility of this matter from the beginning, but after the two made several assumptions, they were quickly forgotten... This is also how Ye An and Qin Mumu decisively integrated into this era.
