Section 276 Clouds ascend to the inside

The original Zhang Daochang stood on the "main hall" of the "Yunsheng View" - it is said that the "main hall" is actually just a three-bay tile house, but in the countryside of Lunan, it can be regarded as a very neat and orderly house - looking down on the people in the courtyard who are looking at him reverently. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

There are only three clear statues on the main hall, according to the Taoist concept is "no idols", but Zhang Yingchen considered that it is not appropriate to be too maverick at the moment, shocking the world, attracting the attention of local gentry and officials, so it is still good to appear in the image of the traditional heavenly master.

Yunshengguan is very small, and has expanded a lot due to the strong support of the bookmaker. Although it is easier to buy land in a famine year, the banker also contributed a lot during the period -- Zhang Yingchen deeply felt that the support of the gentry in the Ming Dynasty was too important.

Because the ground is not calm, several masters of the Taoist temple also suggested that Zhang Yingchen should rush to "copycat" the Taoist temple. Natural disasters are frequent in Lunan area, and there are homeless people and bandits everywhere, and slightly larger villages and villages are rushing to repair the walls and practice the courage of the villages. Although Yunshengguan is only four or five miles away from Dadianzhuang, it is also lonely in the wilderness, it was originally a dilapidated courtyard that no one wants, but now it has gathered hundreds of refugees, and it has become a Taoist hall, which has become an attractive target.

Zhang Yingchen felt that the old men of the Zhuang family were reasonable, and anyway, he now had manpower on hand -- in addition to a large number of disciples to use, he also had enough food on hand to recruit a large number of refugees who were willing to work hard for food -- and immediately set out to build an earthen fence.

There was no shortage of money, although he declined the banker's donation and exempted the believers from "incense silver". After the collapse of the Southern Wuliang Sect in the local area, most of the real estate under its name fell into the hands of the Taoist Chief, except for the floating wealth and some real estate occupied by Ma Weisan. He sold part of the real estate to the dealer and obtained several hundred taels of silver and a few hundred stones of grain.

Even the building materials didn't bother him: in the famine years, some villages were abandoned, and Zhang Yingchen mobilized refugees to demolish houses, bricks and stones. timber, and even adobe bricks. Nothing was brought back, and a wall with a circumference of 500 meters was built around Yunshengguan, and a trench was dug outside the wall. Corner towers were built around it, and it was like an earthen village.

Zhang Yingchen firmly grasped the word "charity" as a signboard. The "Tzu Chi Hall", a benevolent hall organized by the banker, is also located in the Taoist temple to ensure that it has a close relationship with the banker, and it also has the intention of downplaying the color of its own Taoism.

The Tzu Chi Hall is now located in the left and right wings of the main hall, and Zhang Yingchen does not ask anything about the organization and personnel of the Shan Chi Hall: after all, it is the dealer who pays the money, food and relations, and he is only interested in refugees.

The refugees all live outside the Yunsheng Temple, inside the Tu Wai. According to Zhang Yingchen's design drawings, the Zhuang family built rows of refugee camp-style longhouses out of adobe bricks and straw. It is specially designed to host refugees. The people who are responsible for taking care of the refugees are all members of Zhang Yingchen's subordinates.

Zhang Yingchen had extremely strict control over his followers, forbidding them to preach to refugees, and only preaching to them the teachings that visiting the poor and asking for hardships was "great merit" and "being a saint of the sea immortals", so as not to attract the suspicion of both the Ming Dynasty and the Senate.

Of course, many of his followers themselves were refugees, starved of food and clothing. At the same time, Zhang Yingchen also distributed relief rations and clothing through the team leader to help them survive the winter, but did not accept and deliver them. The reliability of this group of former immeasurable disciples is not yet daring to vouch for it. In the event of any trouble in Jeju or Taiwan, it would be seriously detrimental to him and his Taoism.

Zhang Yingchen walked down the steps slowly—the morning's consultation was over—and he now continued to visit Yunsheng for half a day every day. Because the medicine is like a god, and he doesn't take a penny from the poor, his reputation grows greater. The refugees, believers, and clerks who had gathered in the compound all made way for them. Zhang Yingchen smiled compassionately. From time to time, I return the courtesy, and sometimes I have to say a few words to someone.

When some of the congregants saw him coming, they knelt down one after another, some shouted his name, and some rushed forward to try to touch his clothes, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while. Zhang Yingchen knew that some believers even tried to buy off the Taoist boys who served him personally, trying to get some of his face wash or old clothes and other things as medicine. He had no choice but to denounce this practice at the doctrinal study meetings of the leaders of the various groups, denouncing the "demons."

Surrounded by a few cronies such as the Ming and Qing dynasties, he finally walked out of the main courtyard and walked to the backyard: there are three entrances in the backyard. It is the office of Taoism and the place where he stays and offices. It is also the nerve center of the Senate in the Lunan region.

The Taoist Master of the Thief Spring has done several things here that he has always wanted to do but has not been able to do, one of which is that he finally got enough people to open a training course for Taoist students, and the Taoist Chief, who has been constantly excluded and despised by others in the past for a few Taoist places, finally raised his eyebrows this time: with enough popularity and a large refugee population, he finally selected fifty handsome young men and women to be Taoist students according to his aesthetic taste and selection criteria.

Rows of houses were built along the fence in the backyard: dormitories and classrooms for the Taoist students. It would be noon, and because the cafeteria had not yet been covered, the Taoists were scattered in the courtyard in twos and threes. Squatting and standing with a bowl in his hand to eat.

The food is very simple, even hard: relief rations and vegetables are boiled into a mush, but for the Taoist students, it is the supreme delicacy, and they drink it one by one. Each Taoist wore a homespun cloth purchased on the spot, and a short track uniform made by the female dependents of the disciples was used, and many of them were dismantled, washed, and modified from old clothes - not much of the Lingote sè was shown.

Zhang Yingchen did not approach the Taoists, for fear of arousing the "onlookers" of the Taoists. Recently, he noticed that the "cult of personality" in him was getting stronger, and he was deeply worried about this.

This group of Taoist students, he used his first brothers, Ming Qing and others, as teachers, first taught them the ability to read, write and calculate, and then taught the teachings - the so-called teaching and learning doctrines were to memorize the pamphlets he compiled himself: "Introduction to the Daozang", "Taozang Questions and Answers", and "Collection of Essential Scriptures". He had limited time, so he used to betray the Lord and devote one more class time a day to explain and indoctrinate him. It's just that the important music courses are not taught: although Thief Spring is very interested in Taoist music, both the instrument and the singing are at a painstaking level.

"This batch of Shanghaode Puyu can't stay here, the environment is too sinister. It's a shame if it's ruined. He looked at the Daoists who were active in the courtyard for a while, and he didn't feel a little stupid.

"Dao Chang......" Ming Qing said quietly.

"Huh? Ying Chen came back to his senses, coughed, and continued to walk along the corridor towards his homestay.

A few tiled houses were built in the courtyard, which were used exclusively for him and a few of his cronies to live in. Zhang Yingchen's combination medicine is also here. However, as Qiwei's freight road became more familiar, and the number of proprietary Chinese medicines shipped from Hong Kong gradually increased, the pressure on his personal pharmaceutical industry was much less.

He returned to his lodgings, and Luo Chūn brought a bowl of tea, which he drank half in one go. The house is tidy and elegant. At first glance, it was cleaned by jīng's heart. He felt very satisfied: there is a difference between having a woman and not having a woman.

Luo Sai chūn - Zhang Yingchen thought that her name was too popular, so she removed the word Sai, and now she is called Luo Chūn - standing silently beside her. Ever since Luo Chūn was subdued by his "mana" at the "puja", he was completely dead set on the Taoist. Zhang Yingchen understands the psychology of this kind of woman very well, once the psychological pillar in their hearts is destroyed, the shijie view, the outlook on life, and the Taoist moral outlook will be completely overturned and reshaped, and it is easy to reshape the personality. And he, Zhang Yingchen, has also read a lot of books on psychology and practice. After a period of careful training, the effect is remarkable, although Zhang Yingchen is not 100% assured of her, but at least eighty percent trust.

When the matter came to an end, he sent her back to Lingao to "purify" and "re-educate", and the Taoist chief thought that she would be a qualified Taoist professional religious person in the future.

Luo Chūn stood beside the "real person" with bated breath, ready to listen to his orders. Now that he has changed his court, he is in awe of this "real person" with boundless power, almost worshipping. Ping rì only dares to regard himself as a servant and carefully serve the "real person". It has to be to ask the real person to be merciful, Hu Qi'er recited the scriptures, and turned the soul to the "fairy mountain god realm on the other side of the sea". Although Hu Qi'er is not related to her by blood, she has no relatives in the world, and her only apprentice is also a close relative.

Zhang Yingchen used both Luo Chūn's grace and power, and tried his best to encompass him: Luo Chūn had long served as the Holy Maiden of the Inner Dharma Hall of the Southern Wuliang Sect, and knew very well about the affairs in the sect. He was to launch a large-scale campaign in Lunan to fight for territory from the local sects, and Luo Chūn was his guide.

He didn't trust Ma Weisan - although Ma Weisan was responsive to his needs, he controlled a large number of teaching properties, and his attitude of respecting him and staying away from him made him very disliked. When the group leader meeting was held, Ma Weisan either didn't come for some reason, or sent a deputy team leader to fill up, obviously full of wariness of him.

"It's a matter of luck to get you rid anyway!" Zhang Yingchen thought secretly. As long as you talk to Xiao Ye, there will be no Ma Weisan tomorrow night. However, he still couldn't make up his mind: although this high-level leader was very unpopular, most of the team leaders and deputy leaders had worked with Ma Weisan for a long time, and rashly killing him would inevitably make them feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

"Luo Chūn, what do you think of this person as Team Leader Ma?" Zhang Yingchen put down the tea bowl and asked slowly.

"Returning to the real person: Ma Weisan is not firm in his faith, and he has no virtue."

Although she was born as a woman, she has been in the upper echelons of the sect for many years, and her export is not slang. To be continued
