Chapter Eighty-Three: The Struggle
Approaching the Dharma Fighting Conference, Taoist priests can be seen everywhere on the streets of Chengdu, regardless of whether they are really cultivating or not, as long as they put on a Taoist robe and carry a peach wood sword or dust, they can come out to fish in troubled waters.
At noon on this day, Yang Yun was going to the fairy building for lunch, and by the way, he took a look at the business situation, and noticed that the atmosphere was not right from a distance.
"Boss, trouble has come to the door."
Song Qi saw Yang Yun upstairs, and hurriedly ran downstairs to greet him, and said with a sad face.
Yang Yun walked to the door and looked inside, but saw many people in Taoist robes sitting at the square table on the first floor, some holding magic swords, some holding dust, looking fierce and vicious, as if they were here to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.
Yang Yunwei entered the store directly, pulled Song Qi aside, and asked in a low voice, "When did this happen?" ”
Song Qi said: "After the store opened in the morning, they came to occupy a seat, saying that they wanted to drink, and they drank it after a few drinks, but they didn't even order the food, and they didn't leave......
Yang Yun pondered in his heart: "The Immortal Mansion is my business, I don't know how many people this kid from Wang Ji is leaked to know, are they coming for me?" ”
"The owner, these are Taoist masters, and the people in the government dare not provoke them, so it's useless to report to the officials...... Why don't we give them more wine and send them away? ”
Song Qi is honest and just wants to settle things.
Yang Yun asked, "How is the situation on the second floor?" ”
Song Qi cried and said, "They are blocked on the first floor, who dares to go up?" The second floor is still empty. ”
"Then I'll go in and meet them."
After Yang Yun finished speaking, he walked into the Immortal Building.
……
……
"Boy, didn't you see that the Daoists were discussing things? It's none of your business here, get out. A middle-aged Taoist priest with a fat head and big ears threatened Yang Yun who came in.
Yang Yun looked calm, and said with a smile: "This Taoist chief said so interestingly, the shopkeeper said that this hall is not full, you discuss things here, I eat my food, and it does not affect each other." Can you discuss things and still make a big deal and splash my blood? ”
The fat old Dao was angry from his heart, and he glared at Yang Yun angrily: "Good boy, believe it or not, ...... me"
Yang Yun was completely unmoved.
Lao Dao's words were stopped by another old Taoist priest next to him who had a thin face, crane hair and a childish face, and looked quite a bit fairy-like Dao bones: "This little donor has sharp teeth, but he is always not a mortal in the flesh, what do you care about him?" Cultivators don't embarrass ordinary people, don't break the rules of the Dao Gate. ”
"Humph!"
The fat old man snorted coldly, patted the magic sword lying across the table in front of him, and didn't speak again.
Yang Yun sat down directly in the corner of the first floor.
A group of Taoist priests were still sitting upright, some drinking, some looking around, with murderous intent in their eyes, but they had no intention of making a move.
As a bystander, Yang Yun secretly wondered: "If you want to do it, hurry up, what does it mean to pestle here?" One by one, you have to come up with your life-and-death style, even if this store is mine, you are welcome, just smash it! In the end, it's up to you guys to end up! ”
The old Taoist priest who was immortal and Dao bones before said: "Everyone, the words are clear, this Jiannan Dao Festival should be in charge of our Heavenly Master Dao, Zhang Tianshi is not in Shu, do you want to rebel?" ”
Immediately, a young Taoist priest stood up and retorted: "What Heavenly Master, we have never seen before, who admits him?" Now the Daomen of Jiannan Dao is respected by Qingyang Palace, and now Qingyang Palace has demarcated the area of each Taoist temple, as far as you Heavenly Master Dao people don't listen, then don't gain a foothold in Jiannan Dao in the future. ”
"Presumptuous, the Heavenly Master has been passed down from generation to generation, how can you not believe it?" There were also Taoist priests here who stood up and shouted loudly.
The two sides were tense, but because of their own identities and the fact that they didn't know each other's reality, they didn't fight.
Yang Yun listened for a while, and probably knew what was going on.
"This is a grudge between the Heavenly Master Dao and other Taoist sects."
Yang Yun knew before that although Qingyang Palace has been inherited for thousands of years, the real founder of Taoism is the "Heavenly Master" Zhang Daoling. Zhang Daoling originally founded the Heavenly Master Dao in Shudi, so Heming Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain are both famous Taoist mountains. However, when the Heavenly Master Dao was passed to the fourth generation Zhang Sheng, he moved to Longhu Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River and lost contact with the Shu Dao Gate for a long time, after which the Qingyang Palace rose strongly and replaced the position of the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao Dao.
Heavenly Master Dao was passed on to the Kaiyuan period, and it was the fifteenth generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Gao.
"Now Zhang Gao's identity as a heavenly master has not been recognized by the Taoist sect, does this mean that Zhang Gao has not been received by Tang Xuanzong, and has been ordered to teach the Dharma in Beijing, let alone canonized as a heavenly master by the imperial court. As a result, Heavenly Master Dao, as the head of the world's Dao Sect, was actually suppressed by local Taoist forces like Qingyang Palace. ”
Just when Yang Yun was thinking wildly, another voice came from the lobby of the wine shop.
"Qingyang Palace is fair, and we have always obeyed its arrangements...... You Heavenly Master Dao people are not convinced, just go and discuss with the Venerable of Qingyang Palace, next time you cross the border to our territory to do things, don't blame us for being polite! "There is a Taoist priest who makes a threat.
The old Taoist priest of the fairy wind and bones got up: "Whoever asks us to do things, that is the freedom of others, you yourself have no ability to blame others!" Walk! ”
The leader of the Heavenly Master Dao didn't seem to want to argue too much with these people, and he beckoned the disciples to leave, and more than a dozen Taoist priests suddenly got up.
Compared with the battle of more than 30 people on the opposite side, the momentum here is much weaker.
The Heavenly Master Dao people left the Immortal Building under the leadership of the old Taoist priest of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone, and the remaining Taoist priests who belonged to different Taoist temples also got up one after another and left after settling out under the feeling of being bored.
……
……
After the people left, the fairy building was quiet.
Song Qi walked over with surprise on his face: "Boss, these Taoist masters talk about the rules, they didn't say that they would eat white food and leave, and they gave some more money." ”
Yang Yun said with a straight face: "What's wrong with delaying my business, giving a little more?" Am I still going to accept their kindness? ”
Song Qi didn't dare to speak, he knew that Yang Yun was also a cultivator, and it was understandable that he was dissatisfied in the face of a group of Taoist priests coming to negotiate for the matter of grabbing territory.
"Go out and say hello and do business...... Let's hope no one comes to mess with it anymore. Yang Yun casually ordered, he was not in the mood to stay and eat, so he went back to the workshop.
On the way, he was pondering the contradiction between the Heavenly Master Dao and the local Taoist forces headed by Qingyang Palace.
"To put it bluntly, it's a conflict of interests...... The cultivators themselves have no income, and they are either hired by officials as staff members, like Qinghe, or they are cheated and abducted, and if they talk about a fixed income, they are afraid that they are held by large families, but the practice involves conflicts of interest among the monks. ”
Yang Yun figured this out, so he figured out everything.
"Qingyang Palace and the government held this festival, in fact, they want to establish their leadership position in the Jiannan Daomen, unite the Taoist temples and mountain gates from all over the country, so that they can have the capital to compete with the Heavenly Master Dao, as for dealing with me, it is secondary, after all, I and my non-existent master are just 'savages', without a sect foundation, even if they can get the respect of the government, there is no way to threaten their vital interests."
……
……
Yang Yun returned to the workshop, and Wang Ji was already waiting for him.
Wang Ji was very excited: "I told my father all the suggestions that the master said to me before. ”
"Hmm."
Yang Yun nodded indifferently.
Wang Ji said with a smile: "My father scolded me in front of me, as if all the strategies I offered were shit, which made me very angry...... I heard that a large number of caravans will be coming to Aino Castle these days, and many of the clans want to make a big profit in this trade. ”
Yang Yun asked, "What do you mean...... The marshal heeded your advice and prepared to transport the fire charm into the city mixed with the goods? ”
The smile on Wang Ji's face disappeared, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, my father should have been arranged." By the way, I have something important to inform you about this time. ”
"What?" Yang Yun asked.
Wang Ji leaned over and said in a low voice: "I should have gone to the Venerable to tell him, but the Venerable has always refused to give you a meeting, so I can only tell you, you must tell the Venerable when you hear it......"
Yang Yun saw Wang Ji's cautious expression, as if something big had really happened.
Wang Ji said: "I heard that in order to be able to overwhelm the crowd at this festival, Qingyang Palace found a Taoist with great magical powers from Guanzhong to come and suppress the formation. ”
Yang Yun squinted his eyes and asked, "The so-called great supernatural powers, did you see it with your own eyes, or did it spread falsely?" ”
Wang Ji said nervously: "It's definitely not the kind of deceptive thing that Qinghe Lao Dao is, the Taoist chief who came really has great magical powers, I heard that he is very famous in the Gyeonggi generation, and he is a teacher of Gaomen, but for the time being, I didn't inquire which master it is, it is said that this person's master is known as a high-ranking official in Beijing." ”
"Oh."
Yang Yun nodded in understanding.
The Taoist priests of Qingyang Palace had seen Yang Yun's "supernatural powers" many times before, and they also knew that in order to defeat the master and apprentice of "Wuzun Zhenren" at this festival, they must find someone with real supernatural powers, and it became natural to ask for "foreign aid".
Wang Jidao: "I don't know much news now, I vaguely heard that she is a female Taoist priest, who is as light as a swallow, can fly the eaves and walk on the wall, and shuttle between the high-walled houses, these are what others have seen, and it is the blue sky and the day, it is impossible to hang with a steel rope, or to be held up by these tricks that cannot be put on the table." ”
Yang Yun thought to himself: "Listening to the meaning, it looks like a martial arts master...... Could it be the legendary light work? ”
Wang Ji sighed: "Usually invite someone from Chang'an City, and when the news comes to the people, it can't be done in two or three months, but this time I heard that the person will arrive in about half a month, which is hundreds of miles a day, not simple!" ”
Shenxing Taibao!?
Yang Yun was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there really was such a person in this world.
Wang Ji said worriedly: "This person came specifically for His Holiness and the masters, and his ability is not only to fly the eaves and walk the wall, but also to have other magical powers, and this person has a deep background...... You two need to be careful. ”
Yang Yun nodded and said, "Thank you Prince Wang for reminding you...... However, it seems that you should not take sides in this matter. ”
Wang Ji sighed: "The cultivators in this world talk a lot, no matter how great their ability is, they can't benefit the people of Li, but they are superior...... There is also the Venerable, who takes the common people of the world as his own responsibility, and stands up at a critical moment to save the people of Hanzhou and even Jiannan from fire and water. I can't get used to those Taoists, either flies and dogs, or bullying others, and this Fa is determined to fully support the two. ”
