This unfamiliar voice came from the mouth of the twenty-year-old young Taoist priest. He could see a gold silk crown on his head, a purple and red robe, a silver ribbon fish bag at the side, and a high head between his feet.
Black shoes, with their own extraordinary demeanor, come to mind.
There were more than a dozen servants following in two rows behind them. They were all dressed in regular clothes, but everyone carried a sword. The swords were long or short, and the handles and scabbards were all shining with precious energy, which was not something ordinary soldiers could have. Everyone looked at it and already guessed this.
People have extraordinary origins.
The leader of the group, Chen Gu, rolled his arms back and was restrained by Wu Xuzi Hao Jinhan. Hearing the shouts, he looked up and recognized that what the two groups of servants were holding was the standard saber of the Chang'an Shence Army! For a moment, his heart was filled with confusion.
Shocked, but also confused, shocked by the identities of these more than ten servants guarding him, confused by the fact that the instructions he received were also issued from the Shence Army.
Then he turned around and saw the soldiers in the courtyard. Some were restraining the Taoist boys, and some were countered by the Taoists. They all stopped their movements, as if waiting for the person to speak.
The young Taoist priest's face was as jade-like and his eyes were full of power: "How can we tolerate wanton behavior in the pure land of Taoism! Who is the leader of the army? Bring him here to talk!" After the words fell, two servants rushed forward and took Chen
Chen Gu took it from Hao Jinhan's hand, with his arms still cut, and brought him to the young Taoist. One of them kicked Chen Gu in the knee, and Chen Gu knelt down.
Chen Gu knew that the situation had changed, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The last general is a leader of the camp in Luocheng, named Chen Gu. When I came here this time, I also received a letter from the Shence Army in the capital, saying that a Taoist had reported
Shangqingguan has a private collection of forbidden treasures that were robbed by Jizhou thieves. Sir, please wait a moment! I will not bring this out until I bring it to you, but I will present it to you for inspection first."
"Haha! You have done your duty faithfully." The young Taoist snorted coldly, "It has been five years since the Jizhou rebellion was put down. The rebels have seized the rare treasures in the Luoyang Forbidden Garden early in the morning, as well as the hundreds of treasures in the Hanjia Cang.
Thousands of stones of food have been squandered in robbery. At this moment, you have just remembered that you have to search for it. Should I say that you persevered, or did you realize it later?"
Chen Gu's expression changed slightly, but the tone of the young Taoist priest's words seemed to be that of one of the people in the rumors. His thoughts suddenly changed, so he straightened his body and said dangerously: "The general will only accept the order from the superior and report him."
Although the matter may be true or false, it can only be determined after searching." After saying this, cold sweat broke out all over Chen Gu unconsciously. Although he vaguely guessed the identity of the young Taoist priest, he did not dare to reveal it for fear of causing harm.
If you don't do what he does, you will be destroyed.
The young Taoist priest's face softened a little, and he raised his head and said, "He is a foolish and loyal man. Get up! This matter is false. I have already met Mr. Yu. What you have done is outrageous!"
Chen Gu cupped his fists and bowed, "Here -" before standing up and waving his arms, dozens of soldiers followed behind him, like a colony of ants, quickly pouring out of the gate.
The familiar figure who was nearly fifty years old came forward and looked at Zhenren Gongsun with a smile: "Brother Gongsun! This fellow Taoist came from Beijing on a tour. His Taoist name is Zhenren Lu Yong, and his common name is Tang Tuo.
It’s a new acquaintance that I’ve made since my childhood!”
Gongsun Zhenren did not hesitate, and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his hands and said: "Old Taoist Gongsun Xuantong, thank Zhenren Luyong for rescuing the siege! The old Taoist has lived in the mountains for a long time, his eyesight and ears are dim, and he is ignorant. He has never known the name of his friend, so he has not had time to write a book.
Invite me, forgive me, forgive me!"
Tang Tuo, the real person of Lu Yong, smiled calmly: "I have long heard of Taoist friend Gongsun's determination to serve the country with fists and fists. In the past, when the rebellion was suppressed, Taoist friend Gongsun was able to carry out coordinated actions in the occupied areas. During this period, I have always admired him for his wisdom and bravery.
." After hearing this, Master Gongsun just raised his hands and thanked him.
Master Lu Yong looked at Wu Tianshi again, slightly cupped his hands and said: "Taoist Master Wu Jun! The elders in the family often mention your name, saying that you are 'more meritorious and famous in secret'. They just lament that they are burdened by worldly affairs and cannot pursue the fairyland.
.It is truly a blessing to meet Xiaodao today!" Wu Tianshi also slightly cupped his hands and smiled without saying a word.
The Taoist priest who was nearly fifty years old smiled and said: "Master Lu Yong, we have been working hard all the way, so we should rest first. Now that we have known each other, we are not in a hurry to talk about scriptures and Taoism."
Immortal Na Luyong nodded, and was led by Immortal Gongsun into the main hall of Ziji Palace, worshiped the statue of Taoist God, and settled down in the side hall. Immortal Gongsun had also seen that he had a distinguished status, and called Chengxu Zi Han Fengqiao
Come and ask him to go to the Zhaiyuan to prepare some fruits, refreshments, etc. and send them to Master Lu Yong.
When the two of them left the side hall, Zhenren Gongsun said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Changyuan, I haven't seen you for several years. I want to hurt Brother Yu!"
The Taoist priest who is nearly fifty years old is Li Changyuan, who came out of the mountain and entered the court a few years ago. Recently, he received a letter from Zhenren Gongsun and learned about some things that happened in Luoyang Taoism, so he planned to put down his official duties and come to help. It happened to be Lu Yong's meeting.
The real person was cruising along Jiangnan West Road and came with him. The two of them walked north, and through his news channels in the two capitals, the real person Lu Yong got an overview of the minor troubles that Shangqing Temple might encounter, so they came up with a plan.
This is the "just right" scene.
Master Changyuan also smiled and said: "Brother Gongsun Dao, are you satisfied with the gift I brought during this trip?"
Master Gongsun held Master Changyuan's hand and had mixed feelings: "This great gift from fellow Taoist Changyuan is hard to find! But I am also a little curious and want to confirm with you in private. Is this Master Tang Tuo of Lu Yong really the emperor?"
Prince Li..."
Master Changyuan quickly made a gesture of silence, looked around with a smile, and said: "Brother Gongsun Dao! Seeing through but not telling the truth is the way to be an official. He is willing to come here because he is a truly good Taoist."
Man. Shangqingguan's 'Cuiyun Dan Meeting' is what he really cares about."
Master Gongsun smiled bitterly and said: "If he were here, I'm afraid some Taoist friends would be afraid of him if he spoke." At this point, he pointed to the old Taoist with white hair and beard outside the hall, "Fortunately, Brother Yu invited Master Wu Tianshi to sit here this time.
But it was a mistake, and it hit the taste of this 'Master Lu Yong'. However, I also have some ideas, which I have sorted out. At the evening elixir meeting, I happened to have a chat with all the fellow Taoists and called this 'Master Lu Yong'
It’s a worthwhile trip.”
Master Changyuan smiled and said: "That's right! Master Wu Tianshi is both a teacher and a friend to me. It was just official business, and I won't have time to say hello in the future. If I neglect him again now, I'm afraid I will turn around and go down the mountain! The three of us are too many
We haven’t been together for years, so now I’m dragging him away and finding another quiet room to have a nice talk again!”
Gongsun Zhenren said "Okay", and the two of them had left the main hall. They took Wu Tianshi and sat down in order of elder and younger in a quiet room near the Zhaiyuan, making tea, playing chess, discussing Taoism, gossiping... They had a lot of fun.
The time is getting closer and closer to the "Cuiyun Dan Meeting" in the evening.
But Chen Gu, the team leader, came down the mountain with a disgraced face. After he got on the army horse, he felt a little calmer. Looking back at the yellow autumn leaves on Cuiyun Peak, falling among the withered grass, thinking of the ups and downs just now, he felt grateful.
Endless.
Shi Chang and Bingbi, who were very puzzled, had the courage to come up and ask. Chen Gu waved his hands and calmed down before saying: "That young Taoist priest just now has some background... We... can't afford to suffer! We must go back to this matter."
Report it truthfully and let the superior decide..."
The chief and soldiers nodded in understanding, and they couldn't help but give a comment to the team leader named Chen Gu as "bullying the weak and fearing the strong". But having said that, one of the rules in this camp is,
Isn't it just "bullying the weak and fearing the strong"...
A group of usually domineering soldiers were returning home with their tails between their legs, and no one would be in a good mood. So along the way, they accidentally bumped into their pheasants, hares, and wild hogs.
All human beings suffered disaster and were killed by dozens of soldiers. Most of them did not survive the disaster and became the meat in the cauldron of these soldiers.
The business was carried out very efficiently. The bad news reached Taiwei Palace in the afternoon.
Wang Jin, the envoy of Taiwei Palace, was stroking a copper Ruyi in his hand. He was sitting on a large carved red sandalwood couch and was silent. Hong Taizhu, who was standing beside him, was in a state of confusion, and his eyes were secretly peeking over at any time.
Be wary of this superior officer. He might even overturn the brazier in his rage at some point.
But Wang Jin suddenly laughed and seemed to be talking to himself: "Driving tigers and devouring wolves, this Gongsun Xuantong has some meaning. As for the 'Cuiyun Danhui', just by hearing the name, you can tell that it is some heresy.
How different are the messy things from the First Emperor's quest for immortality pills? Ignore this matter. I'd better deal with the chores at hand and go to the Longmen Buddhist Caves another day to look up at the pagoda and see the holy light, which will help me reach the pure land of bliss.
!”
Hong Taizhu thought about his words and said respectfully: "A summer insect cannot talk about ice! These Taoist priests have too narrow vision. They only think about their own emergence and ascension. Instead, the road becomes narrower and narrower. The Lord's Buddha has a compassionate nature and sacrifices his life in the world of mortals.
With all the sentient beings in mind, although the calamities are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, the path we take is a golden road!"
After Wang Jin heard this, he burst out laughing: "Hong Zhiye, do you know what I admire most about you?" Hong Taizhu lowered his head and rolled his eyes, but he shook his head humbly. Wang Jin continued, "You are talented and knowledgeable.
You are quick-witted, but have no independent opinion. You are a Confucian scholar, and it is indeed difficult for you to understand Taoism and practice Zen. What you just said is very beautiful, and I like it very much, but you talk about it, but you don’t believe it in your heart. Whatever! You put it
If things are done well, I will never treat you badly."
While Hong Taizhu listened to what he said, his face turned from red to white, from white to green, and then back to normal. After Wang Jin finished speaking, he knelt down and worshiped: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy is very aware of the subtleties, and the lower officials are indeed unworthy of such great authority."
Only with a heart of loyalty and courage can I repay the kindness of your Majesty!"
Wang Jin smiled and nodded, and then said: "Just go to the palace gate and wait. Those three guys who are not successful have probably got the news and are coming here to disturb my innocence." After hearing this, Hong Taizhu stood up and said the same thing.
He smiled and nodded in agreement before pulling away.
After about an hour, Wang Jin was lying on his side on the big couch and fell asleep. As expected, Shi Xiaoren, the master of Jingyun Guan, Lin Yunbo, the master of Longxing Guan, and Zhan Zhan, the master of Daochong Guan, who had been here a few days ago
The three of them came to the courtyard near Xuanyuan Temple of Taiwei Palace. After Hong Taizhu finished reporting, he came out of the house, and the three people who were waiting eagerly gathered around him.
Hong Taizhu said softly: "It's unfortunate that the three fellow Taoists have come. The palace envoy has taken a rest. If the matter is not urgent, why don't we come back another day?"
Zhan Buxiang looked anxious: "Why don't you be in a hurry! The army recruitment ordered by my adoptive father was blocked by that old Gongsun dog. I want to see the palace envoy..." Lin Yunbo saw that he was getting more and more outrageous, so he quickly went up to talk to him.
Cover.
Shi Xiaoren also stopped Zhan Bujiu, who was about to rush in, and said respectfully: "Lao Hong Tai Zhu Tong has just arrived. The palace is very busy with official affairs, and it is rare to rest. We just wait here." Zhan Bujiu heard Shi Xiaoren speak like this,
Only then did he realize that he was a little reckless in his desperation, so he had no choice but to retreat behind him and stop talking.
When the sun was setting and the moon was rising, Wang Jin finally woke up. The room was dark, so the maid in the palace took up a long lantern and placed it on the side of the couch. She asked about the arrangements for the evening meal before carefully exiting the room.
Come, walk quickly to the Zhaiyuan. Seeing this, Hong Taizhu steadied the three of them, opened the door first, and then asked the three of them to go in together.
Wang Jin looked at the three people standing respectfully in front of the big couch and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
Zhan Buxiu was the first to say: "Your Majesty the Palace Envoy, Gongsun Xuantong did not know what magic trick he used to block all the soldiers that my foster father ordered back. Now we have a grudge that cannot be settled, please give us some advice from the Palace Envoy."
!" Shi Xiaoren and Lin Yunbo stood aside and nodded slightly.
Wang Jin turned his head and looked at the three of them with great interest: "This time the caliber is the same. Since you want me to give you some advice, I will analyze it with you frankly. If you don't hear what I say, please bear with it.
"Come on, let's talk after you hear it." Seeing that the three of them didn't reply, he added, "I know your adoptive father is Mr. Yu Chao En Yu, so you don't have to talk about it all the time. You might as well think about it the other way around, you have an adopted father."
, others don’t have a foster father or a comrade? Even if there is no one who can make your foster father say anything, do you think my words will be effective? "
Zhan Buxiu couldn't hold himself back, so he interrupted, Shi Xiaoren, and Lin Yunbo quickly held him down. Wang Jin had already gotten off the big couch, took the hair cloak handed by Hong Taizhu and put it on, and then said: "So everything has progress and retreat. For example, two
When armies are fighting, they can fight as long as they can. All kinds of hard fights and cunning strategies can be used. But if the strength of the troops is too different than that of the opponent, they will either be unable to retreat or abandon the city and flee. There is no better way."
Lin Yunbo had already understood what he heard, so he said happily: "Does the Imperial Envoy want us to retreat in order to advance, to hide our strength and bide our time first, and then wait for the opportunity to act?"
Wang Jin smiled: "Absolutely, that's what it means. As the saying goes, 'It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.' Don't always think about grudges and grudges. That's what Ren Xia does. It's better to calm down, think about your own strength, and find
Find the opponent's weakness. Just don't take action. Once you take action, attack him and save him."
After Zhan Buxiu and others heard this, they felt as if they saw a bright star in the distance in the darkness. So they no longer bothered about the matter, bid farewell to Wang Jin with great gratitude, and went to plot new tricks together.
Wang Jin stopped Hong Taizhu who was about to see off the guests: "Today I have learned the 'sixty-four auspicious words' several times again, and the last sentence 'Ruo Di Chun Yong' has given me some inspiration. Maybe next spring
, and then people are searching in various waters in Luoyang, so that we can meet the occasion. Starting tomorrow, the people who are searching for 'Rushui Sword' will be withdrawn first, and you can pass it on!"
Hong Taizhu nodded in agreement before retreating and leaving. Wang Jin held Tong Ruyi, gently tapped his shoulder, and murmured to himself: "The 'Cuiyun Dan Meeting' has already begun..."
