After staying in Lujiang for a few more days, Dao Sheng and the others said goodbye to the Holy Lotus Sect Master, and after leaving Lujiang, Li Xingmeng couldn't help but say: "This Holy Lotus Sect is too hypocritical, obviously to preach and satisfy selfish desires, so I have to pretend that I am to save the world and help the people. ”

When Dao Sheng heard this, he shook his head and said, "If people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”

Li Xingmeng was surprised when he heard this: "Teacher, do people have to do it for themselves, and selfishness is right?"

Qian and Xingkong and others were also confused.

However, Dao Sheng smiled and said: "A few of you, you are all taking this sentence out of context, and the original meaning of this sentence has been misinterpreted, this sentence comes from the true chapter of the Emperor's Taoism, the beauty of all beauty is evil, the good of all good is not good, and the world dies together. It means that if the world's recognized standard of beauty is your standard of beauty, then it is not beautiful, and the world's recognized standard of goodness is not called good, if all the people in the world use the same standard, then there is no meaning of existence, so people cannot violate the laws of nature, and cannot be a hypocritical person who violates their own innocent nature, otherwise, his self will be gradually consumed by heaven and earth in the hypocrisy of pursuing the world's standards, and in the end, the meaning of his existence will be gone. ”

"Oh oh, I understand, thank you, teacher, where are we going next?" Li Xingmeng asked again.

"Huainan, I heard that there are a lot of delicacies there, you little girl should like it. Daosheng smiled.

At this time, Shangguan Qiao'er was telling Fang Youming her story.

Two years ago, there was a flood in Danyang, originally Danyang stored some food for disaster relief, but at that time the Great Zhou Dynasty was not dead, the Great Zhou court in order to suppress the activities in Xuzhou Qingzhou area of Chen Song thieves, the Danyang grain was transferred to the front line, the hungry victims died every day, and even shouted that if the court was unwilling to provide relief, they rebelled to follow the holy king Chen Song. At that time, Shangguan Ming, the envoy of Danyang Jingluo, was afraid that Diao Min would rebel, so he borrowed grain from Lujiang, and used his daughter as a guarantee to marry his daughter Shangguan Qiaoer to the bad old man of Lujiang Jingluo. On the way to Shangguan Qiao'er's marriage, Sheng Le continued, and the surrounding people were amazed, if anyone can marry Miss Shangguan Qiao'er, it will be a blessing for three lifetimes, Miss Qiao'er is kind by nature, and she is beautiful, and there is such a rich family, the young talents of the entire Danyang don't want to get Miss Qiao'er's heart. On the street, Chaoluo, who was moving cabinets for the boss, saw that the convoy also stopped to watch, and then, a gust of wind drifted by, and the carved curtain of the carriage was blown open, and the face of a pretty woman was displayed in front of Chaoluo's eyes, and Chaoluo was stunned. Shangguan Qiao'er, who was watching, also turned his head to look at the nest, and found that he was being stared at by many people, Shangguan Qiao'er's face turned red, and he hurriedly re-closed the curtain of the carriage to cover himself. Not long after, the wedding convoy left Danyang for Lujiang. And Chaoluo still looked stupidly at the place where the convoy was going, and a few strong men in short clothes around him patted Chaoluo's shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, let's get enough of saving and hurry up, we can't afford to climb the adult's daughter." ”

Chaoluo hurriedly continued to work, but the image of the woman in his mind could not be forgotten for a long time. At night, even dreaming about Shangguan Qiao'er's nest finally couldn't help but resign to the boss. The next day, Chaoluo went to Lujiang County with his only savings, just to witness the scenery of the beautiful woman getting married. Halfway through, Chaoluo met a young talent who also went to Lujiang to see Shangguan Qiao'er's wedding ceremony, and the two walked together, talking and laughing.

"I never thought that Brother Tai and Bai Ding also had the heart to watch Miss Qiao'er's wedding. The young talent admired the nest's inadequacy.

Chao Luo smiled awkwardly: "Although it is a white Ding, Miss Qiao'er is really intoxicating, and if she marries another woman in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see her appearance again, so I will see it in Lujiang, just to see the style." ”

The two came to Lujiang County, the Lujiang envoy was holding a banquet, and Chaoluo had already bought an invitation from an invited poor scholar when he was in Huainan, and the poor scholar wrote a good poem, which was originally invited to write a praise for Miss Qiao'er, but the scholar's family was too poor, and in order to subsidize the family, the invitation was sold to Chaoluo.

At the banquet, everyone composed poems and lyrics, sang and danced, so elegant, and the nest who had never seen the world was also shocked, watching the dancers dance and their eyes did not turn, for fear of missing even a detail. The young man next to him said with a smile: "Brother Tai Mo is so surprised and loses face, there will be more such scenes in the future." The surrounding talents and beauties also looked at Chaoluo with disdain and said: "It's really embarrassing that there are such vulgar people mixed in Miss Qiao'er's wedding." Nest was not angry either, and watched the dancers dance to herself. At this time, I saw that Lujiang Jingluo made this bad old man come in with Shangguan Qiao'er, and all kinds of praise continued for a while. Chaoluo stared at Shangguan Qiao'er all the time. Shangguan Kaqiaoer also saw the nest along her eyes, and muttered in her heart: Isn't this person the same person last time, he is really rude, he has been staring at me, and there are no flowers on my face, really.

After the banquet, Shangguan Qiao'er's attendant hurriedly asked the envoy of Lujiang: "Miss Jin has entered your mansion, and I hope that the matter of food can be resolved as soon as possible." ”

The envoy of Lujiang said: "Now there are thieves in various places, there are countless anti-thieves, there are Chen Song in Qingzhou, Yang Suxuan in Jingzhou, and there are countless other anti-thieves, the imperial court has transferred my grain from Lujiang to the front line of Jingzhou for the conquest of Chu, but the old man is not a man who breaks his word, and it will be delivered after the grain grows next year." ”

The attendants were stupid when they heard this, they will only pay the grain next year, but there are still more than 100,000 victims in Danyang, how can they last until next year, this Lujiang Jingluo is too shameless.

"If you don't deliver the food, I'm afraid today's wedding will have to be stopped. The squire gritted his teeth and said.

"When will the old man deliver the grain, when will it be your turn to dictate, hum, come on, drag him out. "The Lujiang envoy gave orders to his soldiers.

The attendant was dragged out by the soldiers and beaten severely, seeing that he could not complete the task given to him by the main bus, the attendant committed suicide with his sword in grief and anger.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Shangguan Qiao'er was so frightened that she couldn't speak. But the comforting eyes of the nest made her feel warm.

At night, Shangguan Qiao'er sat next to Zhuo Zhuo with a sad face, she was about to be ruined by an old man, and her father's plan to borrow food was about to fail, and Shangguan's family was really ruined. Suddenly the door was opened, Shangguan Qiao'er was startled, he thought it was Lujiang Jingluo who made the bad old man finally couldn't help but come to spoil her, but it was Chaoluo who entered the door, looking at Chaoluo, Shangguan Qiao'er couldn't help but say: "It's you, what are you doing here, you go quickly, otherwise you will die if they find out." ”

"I'm here to save you. Chaoluo said with a determined face.

"You...... How is it possible, you don't want to ...... Yes...... Let me go. Shangguan Qiao'er was just about to persuade when she was picked up by Chaoluo.

"Don't speak, or you'll really be discovered." Chaoluo patted Shangguan Qiao'er's ass and said.

Watching Chaoluo leave the envoy's mansion along the way, Shangguan Qiao'er finally couldn't help but say, "Have you cultivated the Dao Foundation?"

"Is this ability called Daoji?" Although Chaoluo has Daoji in his body, he doesn't know what the name of this sudden ability is, only that not long ago, he inadvertently had a very powerful ability.

After returning home, I heard that it was Chaoluo who saved his daughter, and Chaoluo already had a Daoji, Shangguan Ming attached great importance to it, and let Chaoluo be his staff, and the young man who traveled with Chaoluo also became a staff member, and vowed to assist Shangguan Ming to manage Huainan well, so that the people of Danyang have food.

But a bad news made Shangguan Ming restless, first of all, those victims who had no food to eat were about to rebel, and they had already rebelled under the instigation of the Lujiang Economic Envoy, and the Lujiang Economic Envoy also sent troops to attack him on the grounds of his repentance, and also framed himself for colluding with the Chu State.

Shangguan Ming wrote a letter to the imperial court to prove his innocence and ask for help, but the Mourning Emperor at that time was busy killing Wang Jing to regain his power, so he had no energy to deal with this matter far away in Danyang.

On the street, Shangguan Qiao'er was using the little remaining grain to make porridge to appease the victims, Shangguan Qiao'er personally made porridge for each victim, and the maids on the side looked at it and said distressedly: "Miss, just let the people do this." ”

Shangguan Qiao'er said: "It's all because our Shangguan family is not in place to manage it, and God will send disasters to make so many disaster victims appear in Danyang, and only I can be sincere in giving porridge in person." ”

The victims watched the beautiful Miss Qiao'er make porridge for herself, and they all bowed down and thanked her. At this time, Chaoluo had already led the soldiers to defeat the mob that had rebelled, and also ambushed the Lujiang Jingluo envoy outside the city, and the Lujiang Jingluo envoy fled in defeat and returned to Lujiang County, and it was precisely because of the defeat of Lujiang that the Lujiang army was empty, and the Holy Lotus Sect was able to take the opportunity to develop in Lujiang.

After that, Chaoluo asked Shangguan Ming to marry Qiao'er, and Shangguan Ming had to agree, because Chaoluo's prestige in the army had surpassed him through these wars. Hearing that she could marry Chaoluo, Shangguan Qiao'er was also overjoyed.

However, on the day of the wedding, Shangguan Ming poisoned the wine in Chaoluo, Chaoluo lay motionless on the ground, Shangguan Ming wanted to mend the knife, but Shangguan Qiao'er came out to stop it: "Father, you are too much, if you don't want me to marry Brother Chao and refuse, why do you want to poison Brother Chao." ”

Shangguan Ming said coldly: "If he doesn't die, your father will die in the future, and the army only knows the nest but doesn't know my Shangguan Ming, over time, even if he doesn't want to usurp the throne, his soldiers will force him to usurp the throne in order to succeed from the dragon." ”

However, in order to appease the irascible soldiers and heartbroken daughters, Shangguan Ming threw the corpse of the nest into the mass grave, and did not mend the corpse.

Mass grave, rainy day, the already dead nest slowly woke up, and after waking up, the nest roared in the rain: "Shangguan old thief, my nest is loyal to you, but you want to kill me, Huainan Shangguan family, I will destroy it." ”

The nest that was lucky enough not to die rebelled and killed Shangguan Ming with the soldiers who were already dissatisfied with Shangguan Ming, and the Danyang Shangguan family was slaughtered, even so, he still wanted to accept me as his princess.

------------

"But I would rather be a prostitute than a princess. Shangguan Qiao'er, who finished telling the past of Danyang, laughed at herself.

After listening to Shangguan Qiao'er's story, Fang Youming couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect your experience to be so miserable, may God bless you, and the Holy Lotus purify your misery." ”

"Those men who were grateful to me and admired me back then gave up their fingers in order to humiliate me, in order to tease me as a plaything, they looked at the fairies who helped them moaning in pain under their crotches and even forgot that their fingers were chopped off painfully, men, they are all dirty, but you are different, you are really different. Shangguan Qiao'er said with a miserable smile.

"Now are you willing to give up being a prostitute and start a new life? Fang Youming asked.

"Yes, but I want you to sleep with me, don't worry, I don't want your finger, you are the last man in my life, I will not let other men touch me again, if there is, I would rather die." Shangguan Qiao'er unbuttoned Fang Youming's clothes as she spoke.

After a night of joy, after waking up in the morning, Fang Youming said to Shangguan Qiao'er: "Wait for me, I will take you to Lujiang." ”

Then Fang Youming went to the palace to reply to Chaoluo: "The king is above, the foreign minister Fang Youming has already educated the three sinners, from today onwards, can my Holy Lotus Sect preach in Danyang." ”

Unexpectedly, Chaoluo sneered: "The cult also wants to preach in my Huainan, and it is whimsical to come and arrest these evil demons in prison, and burn them at the stake tomorrow in front of the people of the whole city to set an example." ”

Seeing that Chaoluo was about to backtrack, Fang Youming finally couldn't help but scold angrily: "Chaoluo, as the king of a country, but you killed your father-in-law, let your wife be a prostitute, and let your brother be a pawn, forcing him to steal so that he could kill and win the hearts of the people in the future, and also connived at the robbers in Niutou Mountain to wreak havoc on the people, but you yourself have dividends from the robbers, and today you have to go against what you said, the king of the world, there has never been such a shameless person as you." ”

Fang Youming was imprisoned, and Chaoluo was ready to burn Fang Youming at the stake the next day, in order to warn the people of Huainan that in Danyang, only Chaoluo was their only master, and those who dared to believe in religion would be killed.

When Shangguan Qiao'er heard about this, she used her body as a temptation to poison the prison warden to death on the bed, and then rescued Fang Youming.

"I said that you are the last man in my life, but I broke my oath, and I can only wash away the humiliation with death, and I will be happy to reunite in the next life. Shangguan Qiao'er left such a passage for Fang Youming before committing suicide.

"Qiao'er ......" Fang Youming felt extremely guilty, he was here to save her from the sea of suffering, but she ended up like this for herself.

Fang Youming took Shangguan Qiao'er's body back to Lujiang County to meet the Holy Lotus Sect Master, hoping to bury Qiao'er in the Holy Lotus Sect's holy land, because Qiao'er sacrificed for herself and for the Holy Lotus Sect, and she was qualified to be buried in the Holy Land. But after hearing this request, the Holy Lotus Sect Master was furious and said: "I asked you to go to Danyang to preach, you are the protector of my sect and actually have an affair with a prostitute, and now you still want to bury this prostitute in the holy land of my sect, if others know, how can I teach face, how can I teach and preach, quickly throw the body of this prostitute and feed it to the dog, otherwise even if you are my most important disciple, I will expel you from the Holy Lotus Sect." ”

Hearing this, Fang Youming was like a thunderbolt from the sky, saying that all sentient beings are equal, and if they say that all beings are equal, and if they say that they have no self and no appearance, aren't prostitutes equal? Is the slogan propagated by the Holy Lotus Sect that all sentient beings are equal and that there is no self and no appearance false, just to confuse the people and facilitate their preaching.

Frustrated, Youming came to the riverbank with Shangguan Qiao'er's body, Fang Youming hugged Shangguan Qiao'er's body and shouted angrily: "Qiao'er, you live up to me." I will never fail you, despicable nest, hypocritical Holy Lotus Sect, hypocritical sect master, hypocritical doctrine, and one day I will make you all understand that you will have to pay the price for your meanness and hypocrisy. Then Shangguan Qiao'er was buried at the bottom of the river.
