Zhang Yingchen became more and more cautious in front of the banker's masters, and never mentioned his mana", let alone the doctrine. Unless asked, he talked a little bit about his "new Taoism" teachings.

Zhang Yingchen knew that he couldn't treat this kind of gentleman like ordinary people, and he could persuade them to change their beliefs by relying on a little "mana" display. China's traditional knowledge practitioners are all silent and confused, and can be regarded as a group of atheists.

Therefore, when he preached to Zhuang Qian and others, he never deliberately, but discussed it as if he were talking about academics. Discuss the questions raised by the other party.

His attitude really attracted the respect of several masters of the dealer. And he did have some outstanding features in the new Taoist system.

Zhang Yingchen knew very well when he was engaged in this system in Lingao that in order to make his new Taoism break through a way in the folk religion that was quite widespread in the late Ming Dynasty, and to further integrate and digest the two sects of the north and south in the orthodox Taoist system, it was not enough to have mature religious ideas and classics. Even if he had just dealt with the Denan Immeasurable Sect, he had two scriptures.

As for the kind of folk Taoism that mixes monks, Taoism, and folk legends, although it has the advantage of being easy to understand for the lower classes, it seems to be slang and shallow in the eyes of the elites of the upper classes of society, and they despise it very much, although they are afraid of the strength and "witchcraft" of the folk society. Therefore, when he was working on his own new Taoist system, he tried his best to adopt the concepts in the original Taoist system, and made extensive use of the classics in the "Daozang", although some of them had been tampered with, focusing on the Tao of the Heavenly Master, mixing the teachings of Quanzhen Tao and some other sects, and trying to introduce some concepts of modern scientific theories.

Of course, for the time being, he can't peel off his mysticism and has to rely on this to protect the entire Yizhou, and his fame has suddenly become bigger, or rather, he was just a "good person" in the past, and now he has become a "real person", and all kinds of gossip about Zhang Yingchen's "boundless mana" suddenly went viral. In addition to the victims... In all four miles and eight towns, all those who had patients at home invariably rushed to Dadianzhuang with patients, and the good situation suddenly caught him off guard.

However, the good situation makes Zhang Yingchen can't bear to give up, which will be to win people's hearts... What a great opportunity to build faith! He was in good spirits at the moment and continued to see a doctor for half a day every day.

The original medicines in his hands have basically been used up, and in addition to issuing a telegram to Linqing asking the "center" to transfer medicines from Guangdong as soon as possible, he mainly uses the medicinal materials that can be purchased locally. Not only did the three apprentices go into battle to concoct medicines, but many servants of the Zhuang family also helped, and the cost of medicinal materials was all spent by the Zhuang family. He now feels more and more that the bookmaker's attitude towards him has become different.

From Linqing, he sent the character information of the dealer that he asked for from the big library. It turns out that these old and young masters of the dealer are not simple.

He found out that the reason why Zhuang Qian took the initiative to tell the old man soon after he led the army in the second year of Chongzhen... It turned out to be related to the political trend of the imperial court at that time... In the early years of Chongzhen's accession to the throne, the investigation and rectification of the "remnants of the eunuch party" was very vigorous. This person once made a life for Wei Zhongxian when he was an official, even if he was not a member of the eunuch party, he should have something to do with the eunuch party.

Obviously, although his reputation as an official in office is not bad, and he can still lead the army at a critical juncture, this historical stain makes him have to take the initiative to retire from the court.

No wonder he kept his mouth shut about court affairs on weekdays, nor did he talk about his experience when he was an official. So there is such a thing! Zhang Yingchen understood: he belonged to "historical problems", and naturally he should be very cautious when he retired. What's more, I heard that the activities of Dongchang and Jinyiwei have become frequent again recently.

Another one that interested him was Zhuang Quan, the tone of the words... He is Zhuang Qian's cousin. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, this person once gathered tens of thousands, occupied Zhucheng Jiuxian Mountain to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and sneaked into Beijing alone after the defeat... The high-ranking official who was preparing to assassinate the Tartars once assassinated Dorgon, but unfortunately failed, but he still managed to escape, which shows that his skills and strains are very good.

"This man is so legendary, I have to get to know him." Zhang Yingchen is very interested in him, but it is a pity that this Wu Xiucai served as a Luokou garrison during the Apocalypse because of his military exploits, and now he is not at home Zhang Yingchen feels that this Wu Xiucai is likely to collude with Shili in the place of Jiuxian Mountain in Zhucheng in the past, otherwise it is difficult to imagine that an unfamiliar outsider can easily gather tens of thousands of people to occupy Shantou to rebel. It is necessary to be clear about the specific situation.

He burned the secret letter... After watching the gray and black paper ashes completely shattered in the brazier, he stood up and patted the dust on his robe.

The sun is blazing outside, and there are large pieces of ice in the house, which is steaming white, and this enjoyment is not bad in Yizhou, of course, compared with the gentleman who helped people in Jiangnan to "combine big medicine". Zhang Yingchen strolled to the eaves of the porch... Just as he was about to go to see how the three apprentices' medicinal herbs were concocted, a servant invited him to go to the room. Qian Zhang Yingchen often came and went to the upper room, but he didn't expect that the servants outside the courtyard didn't lead him inside, he couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly held the pistol on his waist.

"Real people! Forgive the villain for being bold," the servant accompanied the smiling face, "It's not that Master Zhuang is affectionate, but that the young master of the second master's family wants to see you." I'm afraid you don't want to see him.................."

"All beings are equal, why don't poor people want to see him?" Zhang Yingchen smiled and put his mind at ease.

"Real person, you are old and elegant!" The servant said with a sneer, "That's right, our Yongling Young Master is only eleven years old......

Ying Chen nodded, "It's okay." Ambition is not in old age. The twelve Ganluo are phases. Your young master must also be a great talent. ”

"Some people have said that." Seeing that Zhang Yingchen did not object, the servant was overjoyed that his reward of 200 copper coins had arrived. He was immediately led all the way to a small courtyard.

Zhang Yingchen saw that the flowers and trees here were sparse, the environment was elegant, and the main hall was arranged with desks and Confucius tablets, and knew that most of this was the study room for the children of the Zhuang family to study.

He remembered that the sons and nephews of the Zhuang family were also very outstanding, not only several of them were Xiucai and Sui Gong, but also participated in the Anti-Qing Movement later, and they were all people who were able to write and martial arts. This so-called Yongling young master probably. It is Zhuang Qian's nephew Zhuang Yongling. According to the material, he was born in 1620, and now he is a thousand years old.

This Zhuang Yongling word big year, the number floated, and later passed the Shunzhi eighteenth year of Jinshi, is the second Jinshi of Zhuang's family.

Xianyu is also a reading seed, why did he suddenly want to see himself?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw three teenagers come out. They are all in their teens, handsome and handsome, and they are only dressed in slightly thin cotton, which is very typical of the so-called "ploughing and reading people's families".

The Taoist couldn't help but move in his heart. Start now.

"Real people!" The boy looked very pleased, "I didn't expect you to come." Please forgive the boy for imposting his name. ”

"Why didn't Poor Dao come?" Zhang Yingchen put on a gentle smile.

"Please come in and take a seat!"

At that moment, Zhang Yingchen was invited to the East Warm Pavilion in the study, because it was summer, the window panels were removed, and the windows were pasted with green curtains, reflecting the thick shade of the trees in the yard, which felt very cool.

When they entered the room, they saluted each other. Zhang Yingchen knew that because of the influence of the Confucian family, most of the gentlemen who had a little property were keen on red tape, and the so-called etiquette was not strange, and he also saluted each other.

finally sat down with each other, and the scholar brought tea, Zhang Yingchen was relieved: this etiquette is really complicated.

The three teenagers, you look at me, I look at you, but they don't speak, Zhang Yingchen is very strange. After a while, Zhuang Yongling said in a hurry: "Real person, a few of us have heard from people that you were bathed in thunder and fire in the courtyard, but you didn't lose your ......."

Zhang Yingchen smiled while listening, thinking that this was the case. Young people are really curious and bold.

Seeing that his demeanor was not displeased, several people suddenly became bold and asked one after another, "Real person, did you cross the catastrophe that night?" ”

"After the tribulation, shouldn't you be soaring in the daylight? Real person, can you ride the clouds? ”

"Real person, how can you be safe and sound when the thunder and fire are split on your body? Every summer, people and cows are killed by thunder and fire......"

Zhang Yingchen couldn't cry or laugh, this is still a scholar.

But he also thinks he likes it very much: after all, young people are full of curiosity about all kinds of things, and they are much cuter than adults who don't know how to pretend to understand and make a reserved attitude.

He pondered for a moment, not answering their questions, but said, "Do you know how the thunder and fire in the sky came about? ”

This question stumped them all at once, they are all scholars, and they don't believe in anything like Lei Gong and Dian Mu, but no one has said anything about it, whether it is Confucius, Mencius, or the sages. The three of them couldn't help but look at each other.

Zhuang Yongling's eyes lit up and asked, "Does a real person know?" ”

Zhang Yingchen nodded: "If you don't know the poor way, how can you be unharmed?" ”

Zhuang Yongling stood up and made a gesture: "Please also ask a real person to teach me." ”

Zhang Yingchen smiled but did not answer.

Zhuang Yongling was a little disappointed, he suddenly thought that this matter must be the great secret of this "real person", and it was not easy for him to know.

The children of official eunuchs are either not sophisticated, or they are sophisticated. Zhuang Yongling is the latter. He thought: If it is an ordinary Taoist priest, it is nothing more than trying to take the opportunity to extort a few dollars, if so, it is simple. But after this Zhang Zhenren arrived at the mansion, he never took a penny from the mansion. He does not charge money for medical treatment, and he also gives up medicine. Apparently not for money.

He made a sincere and sincere expression: "The younger generation is dull, please make it clear to the real person." ”！。
