CHAPTER XIV

() Lu Gongli suddenly said: "No wonder this Heavenly Master Dao wants to build this Deji Temple and give it to Cihang Jingzhai, it turns out that there is such a connection." "I finally figured out what Jing En said earlier about being kind to the Heavenly Master, and I really didn't expect that Zhang Daoling's adoptive mother was a person from Cihang Jingzhai. It stands to reason that most of the people in Cihang Jingzhai are monks, even before they are shaved, they are all upright and upright women who are like jade, how can they be willing to be the adoptive mother of others and raise an outsider who is not their own flesh and blood.

Jing En said: "Although the predecessors of the contempt faction have done such a thing, they don't expect anything to be rewarded, after all, if this matter was spread back then, many people who don't know the inside story will inevitably be a little slurred, so there are very few people who know about it. Lu Gongli said: "The old man is also the first time to hear about this, since Zhang Daoling's adoptive mother is a person from Cihang Jingzhai, where is the biological mother?" Shitai may not know that Zhang Daoling's father, Zhang Shun, is actually an unsuccessful disciple expelled from my Kunlun faction, since Zhang Shun has raised children and has a father and a mother, why should he entrust it to outsiders? Jing En shook his head and said: "Poor nuns don't know much, where is Zhang Tianshi's own mother, it has been a long time, and it should be long gone, I am afraid that no one can explain this matter." ”

These past events are a long time ago, and Lu Gongli didn't really want to get to the bottom of it, seeing that Fang Zhong's letter was also in hand, he said: "Today, let's rest here for a night, and in the morning, I will take Shitai's letter up the mountain." At the moment, they chatted a few more words, and each of them rested quietly.

The next morning, Qian Wenyi and Fang Zhong packed up and did not disturb Jingen, and went to Heming Mountain after leaving Deji Temple. This time, I was familiar with the road, and I went quickly, and when I was halfway there, I saw that there was already a person waiting there in the middle of the road.

Waiting on the road was the golden chrysanthemum.

Qian Wenyi was naturally very strange when he saw Jin Juhua running in front at first glance, and asked, "What are you doing here alone?" Jin Juhua smiled: "The whole rì is accompanied by a lifeless nun, and she is suffocated to death, yesterday I heard that you are going to go to the Heavenly Master's Dao, so I want to go with you." Qian Wenyi said: "Do my master and Master Jing En know too well? Jin Juhua said casually: "I haven't had time to say it yet, it's not too late to talk when I go back." As soon as Qian Wenyi heard it, he knew that Jin Chrysanthemum ran out without permission, and said unhappily: "Even if you want to go, you should tell me, if you say goodbye like this, won't let others remember." If you don't go back quickly, if you have my master's permission, I can naturally take you with me. Jin Juhua saw that Qian Wenyi had no intention of being surprised, so she turned her head and snorted: "Who will remember me, the little woman has no worries, where is love, why can your master control me?" You can walk this road, and I can walk it, so no one is allowed to walk the same road with you. Qian Wenyi couldn't say anything about Jin Juhua, so he had to say: "Of course no one can care about you, but after you come back, my master will definitely not have a good face." Jin Juhua smiled again: "That's also after I came back, it's a big deal that I apologize to the old man again, do you say okay?" ”

Qian Wenyi was helpless by her, and sighed: "You always have something to say." "Since I can't drive away, there are many people to take care of with me, although there is no danger in this trip, it is better than nothing, so I took Jin Chrysanthemum together, a group of three, and returned to the foot of Heming Mountain.

Just like yesterday, Qian Wenyi arrived at Yingxian Pavilion and explained his intentions, Fang Zhong handed over the letterhead written by Master Jing, and the disciple of Heavenly Master Dao who welcomed guests here picked it up and hurried up. After a few teas, dozens of people came down the stone steps behind the Yingxian Pavilion in turn, and the leader was not the non-vulgar Ma Wu last time, but two Taoists wearing Taoist clothes, one was older and looked very old, and the other was younger, handsome and very chic. When the two of them arrived at Yingxian Pavilion, they bowed their hands to Qian Wenyi and the three of them, and said: "Under the orders of Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, under the order of the family master Zhang Tianshi, welcome the distinguished guests up the mountain, please!" These two people are very simple, and they don't ask Qian Wenyi where the three of them are, just ask them to go up the mountain.

Qian Wenyi's heart said that the letter of Master Jing was really useful, and the two disciples of Zhang Tianshi greeted him personally, when it was more grand than what kind of big sacrificial wine, this time when he went up the mountain, he would see Zhang Daoling. Qian Wenyi and Fang Zhong returned the salute, led by the elder Wang Chang in front, accompanied by the young Zhao Sheng, and stepped on the stone steps up the mountain. The stone steps on this road are exactly 999 steps, and then up is the Three Holy Palace, in fact, it is the same as the Sanqing Hall of Kunlun Mountain, which is a place to worship Taoist ancestors, but the name is different. On the outer wall of the Sansheng Palace, there are also engraved four big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, "Taoism and Nature". Next to those four words, there is Zhang Daoling's handwriting. Qian Wenyi looked at it all the way, and always felt familiar, from Yingxian Pavilion to the Three Holy Palace, there were traces of imitation of Kunlun Mountain, but the scale was not as good. After the Three Holy Palaces is the Heavenly Master Palace, the Wang Chang who led the way in front turned back and said: "The family teacher heard that it was the person who was introduced by Cihang Jingzhai, and he was very respectful, and he has been waiting in it for a long time. Come in! Flashed to the side and let Qian Wenyi and the three of them in. Zhao Sheng and many disciples in the back stood on their feet and did not follow. Qian Wenyi said: "Thank you two Taoist brothers for leading the way." "Straighten your clothes and walk in with your head held high. Although he came to see Zhang Daoling, after he was an outcast of Kunlun, he was not as good as Qian Wenyi and Fang Zhong were disciples of the Jade Void Palace, of course, he should not be too accommodating in terms of etiquette.

The hall of the heavenly master is divided into two main halls before and after, there are countless small rooms on both sides, the front hall is quite large, it is the place where the disciples are invited to open the altar to preach the scriptures, the apse is not only a private health place, but also a huge living room, some inconvenient hospitality can be carried out in the apse. As soon as Qian Wenyi entered the Heavenly Master Palace, he saw a Taoist wearing a gossip robe and a vermilion crown sitting on the broad chair in the middle of the front hall. It must be known that Zhang Daoling has been founding the Heavenly Master Dao for hundreds of years, so he should be very tall, this person is so young, is it Zhang Daoling. Qian Wenyi was not sure for a while, and he didn't know how to say what to say, but the Taoist stood up first, smiled and arched his hand: "Contemptible Zhang Daoling, I heard that you are the distinguished guests recommended by Jing'en, I dare not meet you in person, I don't know what you have to teach when you come to the Heavenly Master's Dao?" ”

Qian Wenyi was sure that this person was really Zhang Daoling, and while feeling that his cultivation was so good, he also replied: "In Xia Qian Wenyi, I have seen Zhang Tianshi." As soon as the word "seen" was said, I suddenly heard someone next to me sneer: "I thought it was a distinguished guest from somewhere, but it turned out to be a few of you!" ”
