Tea is sprayed from the sandalwood mouth, and frost is condensed in the starry eyes.
When the Zoroastrian Dharma protectors saw Yang Chaoxi being so rude, their faces turned cold.
Wang Bing raised his hand and said with a normal expression: "Why is Young Master Yang so surprised?"
Yang Chaoxi coughed several times. After coughing up the water and tea soup that was stuck in his throat, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Miracle Doctor Wang, uncles and brothers! Don't misunderstand me. When we were on the Luoshui Painting Boat, we actually explained it to the Holy Aunt.
reason.
Xiaodao studied Taoism at Shangqingguan since he was a child, and he worshiped Master Changyuan as his teacher earlier. Now that his teacher's kindness has not been repaid, and the Taoist teachings are still there, he cannot deceive his teacher into destroying his ancestors and switching to other religions. Therefore, with your good intentions, Xiaodao
I have no choice but to thank you! Don’t be surprised if you hope!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Bing's expression became gloomy. While stroking his beard and thinking deeply, he looked left and right at the protectors, but did not say a word.
Divine Fire Protector Zhu Yanli stood up, pointed at Yang Chaoxi's nose and said: "Brother Yang, the leader of Zoroastrianism and all the brothers saw that you have extraordinary talent, and are willing to become brothers and friends with you, so we sincerely invite you...
...How can you be so ignorant of appreciation?!"
Tianji Protector Qin Xiangchu snorted coldly and said: "Everyone knows that you and your daughter are in love. As a father, I don't have anything to say. Besides, my merchant family doesn't care about family distinctions, so I don't care about you.
We are happy to see the matter between the two of us work out. But if you are not a believer in this religion and you are mostly associated with people from the public sector, how can Qin trust you and entrust your daughter to you?"
Sunday protector Zhang Songyue said in a voice like a gong: "Brother Yang, this is your coy attitude! We have known each other for a long time and have interacted with each other several times. My brother knows that you are highly skilled in martial arts, eager for justice, and quite heroic.
But you have always been alone and have no support. I am afraid that it will be like last time, where others used a little trick to capture you in a cage. With your current ability, how many times can you escape from the plot? "
Ye Sanqiu, the Earth Protector of Fa, also echoed: "There is no conflict between joining our Zoroastrian religion and respecting our master! Moreover, your master and my Ye family are also closely related. I will discuss it with him someday.
It will put Brother Yang in a dilemma. Haha!"
Shuangyue Dharma Protector Li Xiaoman hesitated for a long time, and finally persuaded: "Master Yang! Maybe you had a misunderstanding of our Zoroastrianism in the past. But recently you have also seen that our Zoroastrianism's rules are more strict than the laws of the Sheng Dynasty; what we have done is
In everything we do, we uphold the tenet of 'eliminate evil and spread good'.
Even though killing is unavoidable, most of them are forced by the public and have no choice but to do it. Everyone in the religion is committed to good deeds, hates evil as much as hatred, and no one will kill indiscriminately. Mr. Yang, with his talents, will definitely have a lot to do when he joins our Zoroastrian religion!"
Everyone said something to each other, some were cold-faced, some were tempting, but all of them wanted to invite him to join the religion. It was really hard to refuse such a warm invitation.
Yang Chaoxi's eagle eyes were erratic, not daring to look directly at Wang Bing, Xiaoman and the others, and their expressions were even more embarrassing. He rubbed a hand back and forth between his mouth and nose, obviously being encouraged by everyone and was shaken. After a long time, he finally took the
He made up his mind and said:
"Uncles and brothers! People in Zoroastrianism do uphold morality and righteousness, and distinguish between good and evil. Xiao Dao admires them very much. However, Xiao Dao has always been used to being free and unorganized. Now he has escaped from the Taoist temple and wants to travel around the world. He really doesn't want to
Trapped in one city and one place. If Xiaodao joins the noble sect against his will and cannot abide by the religious rules and regulations, wouldn't it be a duplicitous act?"
Hearing this, all the protectors also looked at each other in shock. Zoroastrian rules have always been strict. They have been practicing for a long time, so they know the benefits of being strict and have long been accustomed to it. At this time, when Yang Chaoxi brought up this reason, they had nothing to say.
Only Xiaoman's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment. The reason why she agreed with the leader and the protectors was actually hoping to rely on Zoroastrianism to keep Mr. Yang in the Luoyang main altar. Even though she was limited by the religious rules, she could not do anything wrong.
I don't think I can do anything that exceeds the rules, but it would be a comfort if I could see him from time to time.
Unexpectedly, Yang Chaoxi was determined by the weight and refused to join the religion no matter what. The originally beautiful plan suddenly came to nothing, and he felt like crying without tears.
Wang Bing pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Brothers! Yang Shaoxia's concerns are not completely unreasonable. I have been a member of the religion for a long time and have adhered to it for many years. Naturally, I don't think there is anything wrong with the teachings. But in fact, it is not the same as the Buddhist teachings.
Compared with Nestorianism and Manichaeism, it is indeed a bit stricter; compared with Taoism, the rules and regulations are even different.
If I remember correctly, Yang Shaoxia was not only a disciple of the Taoist sect, but also a beggar who helped the elders of the guests, and even served as a staff member of the Cui Mansion for a few days. If I, the Zoroastrian Cult, were to set a precedent and hire Shaoxia Yang to teach the guests and protect the Dharma for me, there would be no restrictions on weekdays.
Then I summoned the young heroes to help. I wonder what you guys think?"
Zhu Yanli immediately saluted and said: "The leader's flexible method is not bad. But if there is no restraint, what if Yang Shaoxia accidentally injures or even accidentally kills one of my Zoroastrian followers one day, what should be done?"
Tan Xiangchu also made a flame with his hands, bowed his head and said in respect: "There are no restrictions, it is indeed too lenient. If you don't ask your guest to protect the law, you only have to regularly participate in several important religious ceremonies and rituals, and you are not allowed to kill or injure your brothers, and you are not allowed to betray the religion."
If one day you want to renounce the religion, you only need to explain the reason and hand back a talisman, letter and other items. In this way, the capable people and strangers in the lake who want to join our Zoroastrianism and conspire for good deeds will no longer be able to do so.
Too far away."
When Ye Sanqiu and Zhang Songyue heard this, they both clapped their hands and praised the good deeds. Xiaoman also lost no time in saying, "Young Master Yang! If it is as the leader and all the protectors say, you will have no worries anymore! I wonder if you would like to join my sect?"
At this point, it would be unkind for Yang Chaoxi to refuse. He had to stand up, put his hands together to make a flame, and performed a holy fire ceremony to Wang Bing and all the protectors:
"My dear uncles and brothers, it is better to be respectful than to obey orders! Chishui Dharma Protector Yang Chaoxi, from now on, is willing to share joys and sorrows with you! Together we will eliminate evil and spread good, and punish abuse and punish rape!"
Wang Bing and all the protectors also stood up solemnly, and saluted with the holy fire: "Welcome the 'Chishui Protector' to return to his position! All the spirits of the three realms, serve me as the Lord God. We will eliminate evil and spread good, and bring peace to the king's land. The holy fire is blazing, and all evil will be wiped out."
Free all our people and free them from all suffering!"
Inspired by this atmosphere, Yang Zhaoxi also began to recite. Gradually, he felt two streams of warmth igniting from the soles of his feet, climbing all the way up, passing through his waist, penetrating under his armpits, and meeting at the top of his head... His whole mind felt a little hot, as if
A blazing fire that never goes out.
After reciting, all the protectors looked happy.
Xiaoman's beautiful eyes flashed, her expression was high, and her joy was beyond words.
At this moment, Murong Zhang, the Light Envoy, and Gong Xiangming, the Holy Word Envoy, each held an old wooden box and slowly came to Wang Bing's side: "Please open the box and teach the talisman -!"
Wang Bing shook his sleeves and exposed his hands. He took out both his left and right hands and immediately opened the wooden box, revealing two old items: a sutra scroll made of sheepskin and a shining golden talisman.
Wang Bing picked up the scriptures and talismans, put them into Yang Chaoxi's hands and said: "Chishui Dharma protector, these are the "Avista" scriptures and the 'Fire Talisman' that I taught, and they are now given to you. The scriptures are for you to carefully read.
Study it in order to know the origin and end of our Zoroastrianism; the 'Fire Talisman' is your token when you go in and out of the Zoroastrian Temple to ask for reinforcements and mobilize troops. You must not lose it!"
Yang Chaoxi bowed to take it, and after taking a look, he couldn't put it down: The parchment scroll "Avista" was soft to the touch, thick in texture, light in hand, and somewhat sacred.
The "Fire Talisman" was made of red gold, was no bigger than a palm, and looked like rising flames. There was an embossed inscription on it, like a vine rope, but it was in Sogdian script, which most people with nine surnames were proficient in.
Seeing that he had the sutra talisman in his hand, Wang Bing smiled happily and said: "Chishui! Since you have joined the religion, you have a mission, so you have to go on a mission. Just remember to do your best."
Yang Chaoxi's heart suddenly tightened, and she couldn't help but murmur to herself: It's weird that this miracle doctor tried every possible means to get me to join his gang, but it turned out that after going all the way, he was here waiting for the trail! They said he was "old and cunning", and I still didn't understand it in the past.
Today I saw the way Dr. Wang works, and I feel that these words are true!
As his thoughts turned around, Yang Zhaoxi immediately clasped his hands and said, "I wonder what the leader has sent? I will definitely do my best!"
Wang Bing nodded slightly, but said with a wry smile on his face: "Only you can be most confident about this mission. You are going to pay homage to the Holy Aunt on my behalf and ask her to come back and take charge, so as to protect our Zoroastrianism."
Everlasting peace never fades."
After hearing this, Yang Chaoxi also looked confused: "This matter...can't Xiaoman bring it up, but he can't move her?"
Wang Bing let out a long sigh: "Chishui, this method you mentioned, I and others have already asked Xiaoman to go there! It's just that the holy lady seems to have understood our thoughts early, and she flatly rejected it without even seeing Xiaoman's face!"
I also returned all the nourishing medicines I brought with me."
Yang Zhaoxi was speechless after hearing this, and quickly turned to Xiaoman and said: "Xiaoman, don't you still have that 'Chaoyin Bell'? Why don't you use the sound of the bell to convey messages and give you more advice, Aunt Xiaomu?"
Xiaoman didn't know whether it was because he was ashamed or shy, but he buried his head very low and said in an inaudible voice: "Mr. Yang... Chishui Dharma Protector, Shuang Yue has tried many times, but there has been no movement from my aunt's side, so now
I discussed it with the leader and the others, brought some things, and paid a visit... but it still didn't work."
Yang Zhaoxi immediately understood the embarrassment of Wang Bing and the other protectors: if they continued to bother Liu Xiaomu like a dog-skin plaster, maybe the little fox demon would kill a chicken to scare the monkeys in anger, which would be enough for them.
A pot of it.
At this thought, Yang Chaoxi could only take a long breath, stood up and saluted: "Master! Protectors! In this case, Xiaodao will give it a try! It's just that Brother Liu, whom Xiaodao brought, bothered the leader, and Protector Tianji took great care of him.
"
Seeing him agree, everyone's eyes immediately ignited with hope. They naturally agreed to the little things he asked.
Yang Chaoxi felt a little more at ease, pondered for a moment, and then said immediately: "Holy Aunt Xu has been injured recently and is not in good health, so she rejected everyone's kindness. As the saying goes, 'It's not strange to be polite to many people'! I think about it.
Go, I still want to wrap up the tonic that was returned by the Holy Aunt last time, and take it up, just as a 'stepping stone'!"
Hearing this, Qin Xiangchu raised his eyebrows and said, "That's easy! Those hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, purple lingzhi, fleece-flower root, cistanche deserticola, dendrobium, cordyceps, snow clams, deer antlers and the like are all placed in my bedroom. I'll call Qing'er for you."
Get it..."
After a while, Yang Chaoxi walked out of the main entrance of Qin's mansion alone.
There was a huge baggage on his shoulder, but it was a large bag of exotic herbs hand-picked by Tan Qing. Just by smelling it, he could feel the strong aroma of the medicine and his soul was lifted.
The slanting sun is getting darker, and the dry wind lifts the clothes.
Thinking back on what had just happened, Yang Chaoxi couldn't help but shake his head, sighed with a smile, and headed north.
