Chapter 307: Occasional Meeting

The heavy snow has lasted for many days, crushing many houses, the people of Qingdu are living more and more miserable, the war has consumed a large part of the national strength, although the general election a few months ago made other countries - even enemy countries - part of the wealth flow into Qingguo, but the holding of the general election also requires the consumption of a lot of materials, especially the cleaning work after the election, not only drained the inflow of wealth, but also took out some from the treasury.

People from other countries are just that, the people of Rui must be cleaned up, this is a huge project, after the end of the month-long departure time, Qingguo began to do a large-scale census, all the Swiss people who did not leave within the time limit will be immediately executed.

The most rigorous investigation is naturally Qingdu, due to the fact that Xu Hongcai broke into the general's mansion, the census work in Qingdu was carried out under the leadership of the national teacher Meng Yongnian, and the immortals in the national teacher's mansion were so busy that the only one who was more idle was He Yuchou.

Meng Yongnian is responsible for the census, and the task of sitting in the National Teacher's Mansion can only be handed over to the disciples of the contemporary National Teacher, the most powerful candidate for the next generation of National Teachers, He Yuchou.

This day is a small cold, and it is a more important day for the people of the Tianji Continent, because the coldest time of the year is coming, and one of the reasons for celebrating this solar term in the past is to remind everyone to eat more and eat greasy, so that they can shrink at home and endure the cold and wait for the beginning of spring.

The way people celebrate this solar term is probably to grab half a handful of rice into the pot, or drop an extra drop or two of oil into the dish. But for those who have good material conditions, Xiaohan wants to have a good meal and have a good time. After the arrival of Sanjiu, everyone will only shrink at home, and will not come out to party again, so this is the last opportunity for a big banquet at the end of the year.

The main purpose of this banquet was to thank the national teacher for not blaming him for Xu Hongcai's death in the dungeon, and he did not tell Yu Ye about being quietly locked in the dungeon, and then he was to get closer to the relationship between the Praetorian Guard and the National Teacher's Mansion, and Yu Ye went to chew his tongue with Ma Zhangmen. When the Chixia Palace came to take revenge on him, there were immortals who said a few good words for him.

In addition to the National Teacher's Mansion, a number of civil and military ministers also came, and the Praetorian Guards were the most powerful people in Qingdu. There are a lot of people in this seat, and if Zhong Fu wants to sit in this seat for a few more years, he must have a good relationship with the ministers, and all those who come to the banquet will have a small gift of great value. The name is the Praetorian Guard, thank you for your care and care over the past year.

Exhaling a thick white breath. He Yuchou walked in the direction of Qingsong Tower, since he is an immortal in the world, he naturally has to abide by some rules in the world, the Praetorian Guard and the National Teacher's Mansion are actually the same department, they are all set up to maintain imperial power and protect the emperor, there are a lot of contacts in ordinary times, and there have been many cooperations, Zhong Fu's face must be given.

He Yuchou has always been relatively low-key. Usually when I walk, I am a little hunchbacked, and I like to keep my head down. is like an unambitious scholar, after all, he is not a national teacher, and it is not yet time for him to be high-profile, and a lot of snow has fallen on his head and shoulders like today, which looks even more desolate and desolate.

No one dares to despise this low-key person, whether it is the strength of the Yuan infant period or the identity of the disciple of the national teacher, it makes He Yuchou have a high status in Qingdu, like now, Zhong Fuhou is at the door of Qingsong Tower, and after seeing this ordinary-looking young man, he personally greeted him.

After a polite gesture, Zhong Tongchen brought He Yuchou to the third floor of Qingsong Building, and the people with the highest status sat on the third floor, so that they would not be trampled on their heads, and they could step on the heads of those middle-class and lower-grade officials on the second floor.

The sky has not completely darkened, and the people of the National Teacher's Mansion have not yet come except for He Yuchou, He Yuchou now has full authority to represent the National Teacher's Mansion, and he has long come to give Zhong Fu face, lest someone play with right and wrong and provoke the relationship between the Praetorian Guard and the National Teacher's Mansion, the sooner He Yuchou comes, the happier Zhong Fu will be.

There was no one on the third floor at this time, so naturally He Yuchou couldn't be left alone, Zhong Tongchen took He Yuchou to a small balcony, where the charcoal had been hot, the wine was warmed, and the two sat at the table and chatted about the snow, and drank up.

The topic is naturally inseparable from the recent events, and the influence of the Creation God has been extremely far-reaching, whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, whether it is a high-ranking official or a hungry person, they are all paying attention to this matter.

"I heard that this Creation God Cult settled in our Qingdu and slowly developed." Zhong Tongchen said with a sip of wine.

He Yuchou nodded: "Indeed, when those cultivators came to the National Teacher's Mansion to find the master, I was next to me. ”

Zhong Tongchen was obviously not a believer, so he didn't know much about this matter, so he asked in some surprise: "Did you make it by a cultivator?" ”

"Not long after the election, it should have been premeditated, after the election, a group of people were left to come and get this matter out, if it wasn't for the cultivators, how could it develop so quickly." He Yuchou looked at a circle on the roof in the distance and the words of heaven inside.

"That's right." Zhong Tongchen nodded: "The question is, are those immortals idle and have nothing to do?" Why do you want to do this kind of thing that is not good for them, but only harmful? ”

"Naturally, there are benefits, this is a great good deed, if it can be done, it will be of great benefit to their cultivation, and in the words of believers, they can go to heaven after death, they cannot ascend to Mahayana during their lifetime, and it is not bad for their souls to ascend after death, if there is really heaven." He Yuchou smiled a little disdainfully.

"You too...... Believer? Zhong Tongchen regretted that he was too impulsive and said such a thing as being idle and doing nothing, if He Yuchou was also a believer, or even the driving force behind this matter, this sentence would definitely offend him.

"Of course not, but I've read their teachings, and I've heard the master talk about them, although things like the creation god are all nonsense, but those things that persuade people to be good are very good, and to make people really good, the previous things are essential, people are selfish, and there are very few people who are really willing to do good deeds without taking benefits, even if they don't have this teaching, they will still do it, and the teachings directly give benefits, An ethereal paradise and a place in heaven that allows people to do their best to do good is a great thing. ”

After repeating Meng Yongnian's words, He Yuchou frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Zhong Tongchen and asked, "What do you mean by saying that there are disadvantages?" The teachings of the Creation God Cult are not harmful to cultivators or ordinary people, right? ”

Zhong Tongchen rubbed his nose a little embarrassed: "I heard what others said, if the doctrine advocates the equality of all beings, then there should be no difference between immortals and ordinary people, which is naturally bad for immortals, but now that I heard that the Creation God Cult was created by immortals, then this assumption is completely untenable, think about it...... There should be a deeper meaning, I don't know. ”

He Yuchou frowned and thought about it, this is really the case, but how could a cultivator do such a thing that destroys his foundation? I heard from Master that the people who sent the teachings were all very famous and intelligent people in the cultivation realm, and there was no reason why they couldn't see these things.

He didn't know that a person like Li Yuncong didn't have any sense of the high status of a cultivator, and the lady next door would send two steamed buns when he was hungry, even if there were so many strange patterns painted by herself on the door and courtyard wall of her house, what if it was replaced by a cultivator? Who cares if he lives or dies? It is very likely that after he painted something on the wall of the courtyard gate, he directly killed him.

As long as there is no such thing as "Lao Tzu is an immortal, you people in the world must worship me", after living among ordinary people for a period of time, even if they are grounded, they will feel that it is much more comfortable to get along with ordinary people than with cultivators, and where will they care about status.

After talking about some other topics, the two of them drank a pot of wine, and it was almost dark, and there were many horse-drawn carriages and ox carts on the street, coming from all directions towards Qingsong Tower, and there were also pedestrians, but there were very few of them.

Just as he was about to get up and go downstairs to greet the guests, Zhong Tongchen suddenly pointed to a main street in the distance and laughed: "On such a cold day, there are actually two little ladies going out for a walk, look at that figure, tsk, it's really ......."

Before he finished speaking, he regretted it again, the person next to him was not an ordinary person, and he was not too familiar, if he felt that these words were too vulgar and ugly, then the task that his father gave him to befriend He Yuchou would be regarded as a failure.

He turned his head with a smile, and just wanted to say something to ease, but Zhong Tongchen saw He Yuchou, whose eyes widened and he looked surprised, followed his gaze, it was the two women he was referring to, and he immediately sweated like rain - if He Yuchou knew those two women, he would still say like that, failure to make friends is nothing, but directly offended people.

"He Xian Chang...... You can't know those two, right? Zhong Tongchen asked carelessly.

Seeing the two figures disappear around the corner of the street, He Yuchou came back to his senses and smiled apologetically: "They are wearing curtains and can't see their faces, they just feel that their bodies are a little familiar." ”

Zhong Tongchen relieved himself, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took He Yuchou to the guest of honor on the third floor to sit down.

The two of them didn't eat very comfortably at this meal, He Yuchou's mind was full of those two figures, and he didn't know the taste of food, Zhong Tongchen looked at He Yuchou's appearance, guessing that he probably knew the two women, he was too impulsive and talkative, regretted it, and tasted the same as chewing wax.

After the meal, He Yuchou did not go back to the palace, but came directly to the intersection where he saw the two women, although an hour had passed, he still hoped that he could meet them again and confirm the thoughts in his heart.

And Zhong Tongchen, in order to make up for his gaffe, let the veteran ruffians who often followed him quietly come to that intersection.
