The poem "Feeling the Emperor's Grace" says:

The royal rain and dew are all things, and the dead grass and rotten trees look at the grace of heaven.

Once sprinkled with boundless water, wake up the world with a piece of spring.

On August 22 of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Xizong died, because Xizong had no children, the ministers supported the successor of Zhu Youjian, the younger brother of Xizong, who was Sizong, and the year name Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen newly ascended the great treasure, and hundreds of officials congratulated him, followed the old system of the ancestors, and granted amnesty to the world.

The new emperor is seventeen years old, and he is determined to revitalize the dynasty, rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, suppress Hu Lu externally, and eliminate thieves and thieves internally, vowing to establish a peaceful and prosperous era.

All of a sudden, the order to seek merit spread all over the world, amnesty and grace to the world, the world praised, and the traitors were terrified.

At noon on December 9, Hengyang Yannan Prison.

"The new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole country celebrated. Virtue is merciful, and amnesty is given to the world. Yannan Prison City Amnesty, First Person: Chenzhou Murderer Wang Shan......"

The black prison door slowly opened, and the fifty-two-year-old Wang Shan, dressed in a cyan robe, walked slowly, approached the prison door, only to see him raise his legs and step over, stand up and close his eyes, take a few deep breaths, let out a long sigh of impermanence, and asked himself where is it?

"Hey, you prisoner don't get out of the way, is it possible that you are addicted to prison? If you don't leave, you will be detained and stay for another ten or eight years. After listening to the jailer's reprimand, Wang Shan strode down the mountain.

At this time, he has long hair on the top, a long beard to the chest, a long thin face, long ears and shoulders, a happy and sad look, strong legs and feet, and a fluttering bearing.

Wang Shan was pardoned! The big news had already spread in the village.

When I return to the village, I learn that my parents are dead and my wife has remarried! Wang Shan was not sad, calmly came to his parents' grave, burned the paper money, and turned around to leave after a few bows.

But after walking a few steps, he saw seven or eight villagers not far away looking at him, Wang Shan walked slowly, only to hear them whispering: "It's really ruthless, I broke the body of the girl, this kind of person will definitely go to hell after death." "Don't think that you can be exonerated by putting on a robe." "The emperor is really, how can he pardon such a wicked person." "Don't worry, the principles of heaven are clear, good and evil will be rewarded, even if you can hide from the law of people, you can't escape the laws of heaven!"

Wang Shanzheng wanted to confess, but he stopped talking, and finally silently clasped his palms together and said, "Sin!" A man walked away, leaving the men to point fingers behind his back.

Wang Shan came to the Dayoudong Zhenwu Temple more than 100 miles away, lived in the temple, and recited the scriptures in front of the Sanqing Master every day, so 7749 days. On the fiftieth day, just dawn, Wang Shan climbed to the top of the mountain, his eyes were far away, he suddenly felt that his heart was wide and happy, he turned back to see a stone tablet, two poems on it, and looked at it closely, and the poem cloud:

A few years is willing to do a real tour, and the great Youhua is looking forward to harvesting.

The purple medicine stove is cold and the tiger is far away, and the Dan study room is full of dragons.

The vertical and horizontal jade shoots accumulate three islands, and the smoke is clear and nine hills.

Sitting for a long time and wandering in the distance, the new peach and plum on the rock head.

Another poem:

I don't know what generation is going to open up the Hongmeng, and the Absent Week is endless.

The hollow winds through the earth, and the exquisiteness is through the heavens.

Xiu Danyu guest called the fairy rabbit, and the secluded man drove the lazy dragon.

The scenery of the wind shirt bag is beautiful, and the wild chant lives up to the hero.

Wang Shan secretly thought, I don't know which hidden master did it, although I entered the Tao, but I can't learn from him to be as passive and retreat, if today is full of evil, I should try my best to practice the Tao Law, guide others to be good, don't harm others and yourself, and fall into hell after death.

Wang Shan himself suffered this great wrong, so he made this universal wish to save people, and vowed to travel all over the world and save the wicked people in the world. The decision was made, and suddenly the mind and body were light, and the heart and body were light, and the heart was full of joy and walked down the mountain.

After walking five or six miles, halfway up the mountain, I met an old man over sixty years old who was climbing the mountain with difficulty, and the two passed by and walked out ten or so steps away, and suddenly felt familiar with each other, and they all stopped together, and slowly turned back together, and looked at each other carefully.

After looking at it for a long time, the two of them shouted out in unison: "Brother! "Brother!"

The one who came was his brother Wang De.

The two brothers hurried forward and grabbed their loved one's hand, tears welling up in their eyes.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"The day you went home, I happened to go fishing, so I didn't see it, and I came back to know that you were back, and I didn't know where to go after I heard you worship your parents, I inquired a lot to know that you came to Zhenwuguan, and I came to pick you up today."

Wang Shandao: "Brother, thank you for coming to pick me up, but I have entered the Taoist Gate and followed the master, and I am determined to never abandon in this life, preach and promote the Fa, and I must do some good things for the benefit of the country and the people." You and your sister-in-law have always done many good deeds, never lied and deceived others, and you will definitely be blessed in the future. The younger brother went down the mountain today, went north to Penglai, first visited the relics of the immortal master Changchunzi, and then learned the feat of the immortal master to travel west, traveled the world, and must persuade the world to be good. ”

Wang De asked, "Who is Changchunzi?" How can you have a master in prison? ”

Wang Shan explained: "The immortal master of Changchun Zi is a real person in the previous dynasty, who traveled thousands of miles west to see Genghis Khan, persuaded him to be good, and sought to stop killing and return to the east, saving countless lives, and making great contributions. Although I am in prison, I have three clear hearts, and the Taoist ancestors are all my masters. I also want to imitate the immortal masters, travel all over the world, and broadcast the Tao on my own......"

Wang De had long heard that his younger brother was concentrating on Taoism in prison, and he came up the mountain today to take him down the mountain, so how could he let him go easily. Wang De grabbed his younger brother and said: "Wang Shan, you just got out of prison and don't know anything, now the outside is no longer the Taiping world before, the northern Dajin has killed the Central Plains several times, and the thieves in northern Shaanxi have rioted and robbed, you alone abandon your home and go north, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed." ”

Wang Shandao: "I have also heard of the war in the north, but life and death are determined, so why care." I have made up my mind, and my brother does not have to keep me. ”

"No matter what the rest of the village thinks of you, you will always be a good brother to your brother, do you want to break off with your brother?" Wang De was a little excited.

"No, brother, I will never forget my brother in my heart, but I am fifty-two years old, and if I don't hurry up and do something for the people in the world, I won't have a chance in the future. I am not negative, I am not faceless to see the villagers, I am not evasive, Wang Shan asked himself, this life is bright, fearless and fearless. ”

Wang De saw that his younger brother was determined and knew that he couldn't keep it, so he had to accompany his younger brother down the mountain. ”

Wang Shan pondered for a moment and said: "I am thousands of miles away, and my heart is guarding the beginning." Brother, go back. The two brothers parted in tears and went their separate ways.

Wang Shan went all the way north and walked for more than a month to Jingzhou. Along the way, the displaced people fled, the beggars were in groups, the strongmen openly robbed, and the officers and soldiers wantonly plundered the people. Before I was imprisoned, I had seen it

The government did evil, and the gangsters committed murder, but it was not so rampant, I really didn't expect that in a few years, the world would change greatly. Along the way, Wang Shan preached thirteen times in Taoist temples in various places, and often preached the Taoism to the refugees along the way, persuading people to settle down and not to follow the thieves to make trouble.

After a pause in Jingzhou for a few days, Wang Shan continued to go north, arrived in Xiangyang, and heard that Wudang Mountain, the holy land of Taoism, was more than 200 miles west of Xiangyang City, so he admired the west. This day came to the foot of Wudang Mountain in the evening, although tired, but energetic, did not care about dinner, climbed to the mountain gate halfway up the mountain in one breath, but the sky was getting twilight, the mountain gate was closed, Wang Shan had to put down the package on a large stone slab, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and recuperated, and guarded the mountain gate all night.

Early the next morning, the little Taoist priest opened the door to welcome the guests, saw Wang Shan close his eyes and recuperate, and asked, "When will the Taoist chief arrive?" ”

Wang Shan opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Poor Dao came here yesterday and saw that the mountain gate was closed, so he meditated here and waited for the door to open. ”

The little Taoist priest exclaimed: "Since you arrived yesterday, why don't you knock on the mountain gate?" The mountains are cold and cold, and the Dao Chang is old, so it's not good to get sick. ”

Wang Shan said with a smile as he got up: "It's okay, my heart is as calm as water, and the wind and frost don't care about me." ”

The little Taoist priest brought Wang Shan into the mountain gate, and when he arrived at the Wuji Temple, the little Taoist priest said: "The Taoist is tired all night, so he will rest here first, and then eat in the back hall for a while." ”

Wang Shan secretly thought: "Although I am dedicated to the Tao, but I have not received the ordination, it is inevitable that it will be a pity in the end, I heard that there is a great precept of heavenly immortals in Wudang Mountain, if I can see the presiding officer in the mountain, ask him to give me the precept, wouldn't it be good." So he said to the little Taoist: "Wudang Mountain is a Taoist holy land, presumably the host must be a master of the Tao, the poor Taoist is shallow, and he is dedicated to seeking the Tao, I don't know if I can ask to see the host in the mountain, please give the ordination?" ”

The little Taoist priest said: "The presiding officer in the mountain is Wang Changyue Wang Zhenren, there are important members of the court visiting today, and the real person is busy receiving him, I don't know if he has time to see you." You can report the immortal view and the Taoist number, and I will immediately go to tell you, if the real person can't see you, it depends on the fate of the Taoist. ”

Wang Shanxi said: "Oh, it turned out that the emperor gave him a gold medal to save his crimes, and he preached the way of the world and saved the people of the world, Wang Changyue, a real person!"

The little Taoist priest said: "Exactly." ”

Wang Shandao: "Thank you little Taoist, the poor Taoist has not been ordained, there is no Taoist temple, and there is no Taoist number, so you can inform the Taoist Wang Shanqiu real person to teach." ”

The little Taoist priest muttered in his heart, what kind of Taoist priest is this, how can he have no Taoist temple, no Taoist number, and no precepts? Although the little Taoist priest was quite strange, it was inconvenient to ask more, so he went straight to the back hall to tell Wang Changyue that he was really there.

It didn't take long for the little Taoist priest to come out and reply: "The real person asked the Taoist chief to have breakfast first, and then went to the dormitory to rest, and the real person took the distinguished guests to visit first, and then came to visit the Taoist chief when he was done." ”

Wang Shan was overjoyed, thanked the little Taoist, followed him to the room for dinner, returned to the dormitory to meditate and rest, and waited for the real person to arrive.

After about two hours, the little Taoist priest came with three Taoist leaders, the leader of whom was seven feet tall, wearing a cyan mixed yuan scarf, a yellow gossip yin and yang robe, and black cloth double-faced shoes. Wang Shan heard the sound of the door opening, opened his eyes, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

For the first Dao chief, he said: "The poor Dao has been delayed for many months, so that the Dao has been waiting for a long time. ”

Wang Shan returned the salute and said: "Wang Shan has no teacher and no generation, how dare he pretend to be a Taoist in front of real people?" Please call me by my first name. ”

Wang Changyue said: "The Taoist chief said that he has no teacher and no generation, and he is not subject to precepts, what is the reason? ”

Wang Shandao: "Tell the real person, Wang Shanben is a prisoner of the imperial court, and he has devoted himself to learning the Tao in prison, and now he has been released from prison by the new emperor's amnesty, so he is said to have no teacher and no generation, and he is not subject to precepts." Although Wang Shan has not been ordained, he is pious to the Tao, and now he has the courage to ask to see the real person, hoping that the real person will teach him foolishness. ”

Wang Changyue said: "There is a Tao in the heart, and there is a Tao everywhere, and there is no Tao in the heart and nowhere to find the Tao." As long as the Taoist has a heart, he doesn't have to mind the form of accidents. ”

Wang Shanxi said: "Thank you for the real person." ”

After everyone sat down, Wang Changyue pointed to the left and right and introduced to Wang Shan: "These two are the Ziyang Dao Leader and the Xuanyuan Dao Chief. ”

Wang Shan and the two Taoist elders finished the ceremony, and said to the real people: "Wang Shan has been admiring the Tao for four years, reading the scriptures with sincerity, and intends to follow the aspirations of the predecessor immortal master Changchun Zi to the west, promote Taoism and educate the people, and rest the war for the jade silk, raise the good customs of honesty and deception, and eliminate the poisonous wind of treacherous and cruelty." However, Wang Shanzhi is mediocre, and there is no immortal master to guide him, although he has the heart to make up his mind, but he is worried about insulting the avenue, so he came to see the real person and hope that the real person will give advice. ”

The real person looked at Ziyang and Xuanyuan left and right, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

The real person sighed and said: "It's rare that the Taoist chief has such intentions, but when there is chaos today, the court is corrupt, the officers and soldiers are brutal, the thieves are everywhere, and the people are treacherous. ”

Xuanyuan also shook his head and sighed: "Now that the people are not living and can't eat enough, who believes?" I'm afraid that the ambition of the Taoist chief will be difficult to realize. ”

Ziyang also advised Wang Shan: "As the saying goes, when the sergeant hears the Tao, he acts diligently; The sergeant smelled it, and if it was alive or dead; When the corporal heard this, he laughed. Why did the Taoist go to the people to bring humiliation on himself? It's better to cultivate quietly in my Wudang Mountain, and become an immortal fruit early. ”

Wang Shan leaned forward and said to the real person and the two Taoists: "Wang Shan thinks that the Taoist is the way of the world, and the way of non-Taoism." Those of us who cultivate the truth not only need to cultivate ourselves, but also aspire to preach to all the people and the world, and only in this way can we truly be called disciples of the Three Purities. I have heard that the real person's 'three halls of great precepts' can cultivate self-cultivation, refine and concentrate on the mind, is the Taoist magic weapon of cultivating the truth, Wang Shan has the courage to beg the real person to give the law, and then when he travels the world, practice the Tao, although he has no regrets in death, he hopes that the real person will be fulfilled. ”

The real person listened, looked left and right at the two Taoist masters, and laughed three times. True humanity: "Good, good, good." Xuanyuan said to Zhenren: "Since Wang Shandao has this great ambition, he has a fate with you and Lord Cao, so he should be introduced to Lord Cao." Ziyang also nodded and said: "Exactly, Zhenren, Lord Cao, and Wang Daochang are like-minded, and they met in Wudang Mountain today, it is fate, and it is not to be missed." ”

The real person nodded and smiled, and said to Wang Shan: "Since the Taoist has this ambition, the poor Dao should do his best to fulfill it." Have you ever heard of Eastern Confucianism, Southern Buddhism, Western Taoism, and Northern Dharma? ”

Wang Shandao: "I have heard that the real person is the Western Dao appointed by the former Emperor Guangzong, and Wang Shan admires it very much. ”

True humanity: "Seven years ago, when Emperor Wanli was still in power, the court was corrupt, traitorous ministers were in power, the people in various places were not ancient, fraud was prevalent, and the government and the people were opposed, which were all the precursors of the great chaos in the world in all dynasties. Some loyal and virtuous ministers and people of insight in the DPRK and China rose up with great enthusiasm and were determined to save the people from fire and water. Among them, Dongfang Fangqing is a great Confucian, recruiting apprentices to give lectures in Hangzhou and Jiankang, preaching Confucianism, purifying the people's customs, and respecting it as 'Eastern Confucianism'. Master Luokong in the south is a Buddhist monk, seeing that the chaos in the world has appeared, he can't bear to lose his life, but also out of the pure place, into the turbidity of the world, in the vast land of the great proclamation of Buddhism, in order to educate the people, curb the chaos, the world respectfully called 'Southern Buddha'. Since the poor road entered the Tao, fortunately met the teacher Zhao Zhensong, in the surrounding areas of Huashan to promote the Tao, although the merit is meager, not enough to mention, but also won the false name of the 'West Road', it is also extremely ashamed. Then there is Cao Yin Cao, who has been advocating the practice of law in the land of Gyeonggi since the Wanli period, promoting the law lord virtue and auxiliary, respecting the law and humbling, promoting civil rights, limiting official authority, and has quite a follower in the northern government and the people, and has been respected by the Donglin Party and is respectfully called 'Northern Law'. After the death of Wanli, Guangzong succeeded to the throne, the year name Taichang, Emperor Guangzong was determined to be strong, summoned the four of us into the Beijing Division, gave the gold medal, Tongtian Wat, and enshrined the Eastern Confucianism, Southern Buddha, Western Dao, and Northern Law, and placed high hopes. It's a pity that the people of the Ming Dynasty are not blessed, although Emperor Guangzong worked hard, but he died in less than a month of reign, and the throne of the Son of Heaven was left to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse loved carpentry and did not take care of political affairs. A few years ago, Lord Cao offended the eunuch party, was framed, and was demoted to Tonglu County, and then Ding was worried at home, and there was no hope for practicing the law. Fortunately, a few months ago, the new emperor ascended the throne, amnesty to the world, Cao Daren also Ding worry expired, he was about to go to Taihe County to take office, heard that I was in Wudang Mountain, turned around to meet, is now on the mountain, since the Taoist has the will to save the people, the poor reason should be introduced to the acquaintance. ”

Wang Shan was surprised and delighted when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would come to Wudang and see the two great sages in one day, so he knelt down and bowed: "Thank you for the introduction." But Wang Shan's main purpose here is to receive the precepts and hold the law, and I hope that the real person will include Wang Shan, after Wang Shan receives the ordination, he must not dishonor the teacher's order and aspire to promote the Tao. ”

The real person was overjoyed, and helped Wang Shan to say: "If you have this ambition, it is a blessing for my Taoist, how can I disappoint you?" See Lord Cao today, and after Lord Cao leaves, it will not be too late for you to take the ordination. ”

Wang Shan and Chang Yue Zhenren, Ziyang Dao Chang and Xuanyuan Dao Chang came to Wudang Mountain Huilongguan. A little Taoist priest had already gone to report, and before the three of them arrived at the gate of the temple, a burly man wearing a cyan belted robe walked out of it, and the man smiled on his face, and bowed his hand from afar: "Isn't this Taoist chief Wang Shan?" Yuechang Zhenren clasped his hands together and said, "Exactly." Wang Shan had never seen a court official, and although he was no longer attached to the world after entering the Tao, he was still a little nervous, and his expression was not very comfortable. After approaching, Wang Shan clasped his palms together and said, "Poor Dao Wang Shan, see Lord Cao." Cao Yin hurriedly invited the four of them into the palace to speak.

After the five people sat down, Cao Yin first spoke: "Cao Yin went south this time, just to meet the Eastern Confucianism, the Southern Buddha, and the Western Dao, which is also a good thing. It's a great honor to see Wang Shandao again. ”

Wang Shan's face showed shame and replied: "Lord Cao has been promoted, Wang Shan is sincere and intends to educate the people, but his ability is limited, how dare he talk to Lord Cao and the great sages?" Ashamed, ashamed. ”

Chang Yue Zhenren: "Don't apologize, Daoist Wang, although you have not officially received the ordination, but your Dao heart is firm, and this alone is better than countless mediocre Taoist disciples." ”

The real person asked Cao Yindao: "Farewell to the capital, you and I haven't seen each other for seven years, and I have long heard that the ambition of adults has been difficult to pay for for seven years, I don't know why?" ”

Cao Yin smiled bitterly: "Seven years ago, Emperor Guangzong appointed me as the Langzhong of the Criminal Department, I wanted to use the law to strengthen my Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect that God would not bless me, the Holy Lord died, the new Emperor Tianqi Emperor favored the eunuchs, and the ministers of the court tended to be inflammatory. Alas, in the past seven years, Cao Yin has been exhausted and exhausted, not only is it difficult to establish the new law, but he also ends up degrading Lingnan. ”

Wang Shan thought that since Cao Yin was degraded in the imperial court and went south, he must no longer be keen on practicing the Fa, so he asked tentatively: "Your Excellency has no results in practicing the Fa in the imperial court?" What are your plans to go south as an official this time? ”

Cao Yin sighed: "The traitors of the court are in charge, although Cao Yin has a good law, why not listen to the heavens." Suddenly, he said excitedly: "This time, Taihe is an official, just to show his skills, let those busy people in the court take a look." ”

Wang Shanqi asked: "Lord Cao is a member of the Criminal Department, ranking in the fifth rank, and he has Tongtian Wat, so he can't see the holy face?" ”

Cao Yin smiled bitterly: "In the early days of the emperor's dynasty, only officials above the third rank were summoned, who among the five rank langs like me is qualified to participate?" Officials below the third rank have a political initiation to play the emperor, and they must report it through the squire and the shangshu, and if they dare to go beyond the level and violate the law, they will be questioned. As for Tongtianwa, the eunuchs always block it on the grounds that the emperor is busy with government affairs, and it is difficult for Tongtianwat to reach the sky! ”

"Although Lord Cao suffered setbacks, he still asked for the people's lives, and his ambition did not change, which is admirable!" Wang Shan exclaimed.

"What are the plans of Daoist Wang in the future?" Cao Yin waved his hand after listening to Wang Shan's praise and inquired about Wang Shan's ambitions.

"Poor Dao came to Wudang here, just to invite a real person to pass on my three great precepts, learn the Tao painstakingly, and then travel all over the world, purify the people's customs, and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world."

Cao Yin was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, good, good, then I'll stay for another day, and then go down the mountain after observing the three major precepts of the real people." ”

Wudang Mountain Taihe Palace, 36 Taoist priests on both sides of the main hall, Wang Shan knelt in the middle. In the stands, Wang Changyue was wearing a crown, wearing a robe, and sitting on the throne of Sanqing with Ruyi in his hand, looking like a fairy wind and bones. The real person looked around the hall and said: "The Taoist gate is quiet, and you can't preach the Tao if you are not quiet; The Dharma is vast, and there is no way to obtain the Dharma if you do not abide by the law. If you want to prove the supreme Dafa, you must be quiet. Today I read out the wonderful text of the heavens, and you must remember. ”

The audience said: "Obey the law." ”

The real person recited:

Morality is through Xuanjing, true and always keep Taiqing, a copy of the yang, the co-religion is always Yuanming, the truth is loyal and faithful, the noble heir of the Fa Xing, the world is glorious and prosperous, Xi Weiyan is from Ning, the benevolence and righteousness are not corrected, the clouds will be ascended, the great wonder of Huang Gui, the holy body is full of work, the void is beautiful, the gold and wood sex meet, the mountains and seas are dragon and tiger, the lotus flower opens the treasure heart, the line is full of Dan edicts, the moon is auspicious and the light is born, the ancient continuation of the first number, and the three realms are all pro.

After reading it, the real person casually took out a long vermilion lacquered wooden board and said to Wang Shan in the audience: "This is the 'Qing Rule'." Those who are pure, clean their ways; Those who regulate are regulated by the public; Those who prescribe precepts, precept to prevent their mistakes; The ruler shall measure his sins. I give it to you today, receive my 'Three Great Precepts', practice 'First Truth', 'Middle Pole', and 'Heavenly Immortal', take refuge in the Three Treasures of 'Dao', 'Sutra', and 'Teacher', and become my Taoist disciple. ”

Wang Shan was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed, said: "Thank you Master", stood up, and respectfully accepted the "Qing rules and precepts".

Chang Yue Zhenren gave Wang Shan a copy of the "Pure Sutra", five volumes of "Immortal Music Collection", three articles of "Yin Fu Sutra", and one volume of "Heart Law Righteousness", Wang Shan thanked the real person and retreated to his original position.

The real person then taught Wang Shan the key to cultivating true immortals, which are: taking refuge in the Three Jewels, repenting of sinful karma, cutting off obstacles, renunciating love, practicing strict precepts, forbearance and humiliation, purifying the body and mind, seeking a teacher and asking questions, fixing wisdom and other holdings, practicing the truth in secret, repaying kindness and eliminating disasters, making a vow, sealing and validation, preserving life and prolonging life, expounding the grand path of teaching, helping sentient beings, wisdom and light, supernatural powers, understanding life and death, and consummation of merits. Wang Shan was overjoyed and thanked the teacher again.

Cao Yin, who was sitting at the viewing table, was also overjoyed when he saw this, and strode forward to congratulate Wang Shandao: "It is gratifying that the Taoist chief has been ordained today. ”

Wang Shandao: "The foundation of the poor road is shallow, and the road to cultivation is difficult and long, so it's too early to congratulate Lord Cao." ”

Cao Yin said: "If you have a heart for the Tao, you will definitely be able to succeed, I hope that the Taoist will devote himself to learning the Tao with real people, and after completing the study, he will help the people in the world." ”

Wang Shan thanked: "Thank you Lord Cao, Wang Shan remember"

Cao Yin said: "I'm going down the mountain, you and I will see you again one day." ”

At this time, all the Taoist priests dispersed, and the real person also got off the high platform and came to the two of them, Cao Yin said goodbye to the real person, and the real person took the Xuanyuan Daoist, the Ziyang Daoist, and Wang Shan to send Cao Yin down the mountain.

Since then, Wang Shan has temporarily lived in Wudang Mountain, devoted himself to learning the Tao, and unknowingly passed three months. On this day, I came to Feisheng Cliff to meditate, until it was dark, and I got up and went back, and when I arrived at the gate of Huilongguan, I met Wang Changyue Zhenren with a Gu slowly ushered in.

Wang Zhenren said to that Dao Gu: "Yang Jie, this is Senior Brother Wang Shan." ”

The Dao Gu saluted and said, "Senior brother! ”

As soon as Wang Shan heard the word "Yang Jie", he carefully looked at this person after returning the salute, and after looking closely, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like it, and asked, "Senior Sister Yang has been to Chenzhou?" ”

Yang Jie said strangely: "Yes, how does the senior brother know?" ”

Wang Shan asked again: "Have you ever worked as a helper at the Spring Breeze Inn?" ”

Yang Jie was even more strange and asked, "Senior brother recognizes me?" ”

Wang Shandao: "The people of Chenzhou all said that you were killed four years ago, and they never thought that you would come to Wudang Mountain to take refuge in Sanqing." ”

Wang Changyue said: "When I was in Zunyi, I was going to accept a disciple, but I didn't want to meet before that disciple was mistakenly killed by the official army, and a commander named Tang Hai promised me to give me a Taoist disciple in the future." Four years ago, Yang Jie came to me with a letter from Tang Hai, saying that she was fulfilling her promise, and I accepted her. How? You two know each other? ”

Wang Shan sighed and said with infinite sighs: "Four years ago, a number of women's corpses were found by the Chenshui River outside Chenzhou City, and it happened that Yang Jie, a helper at the Chunfeng Inn, was missing, and the government identified the deceased as Yang Jie. And because I had a verbal dispute with Yang Jie at the door of the inn, they arrested me, and found a song "Xijiangyue" in my home, far-fetched to determine that I was the murderer, I couldn't bear the punishment, confessed to the crime of murder, and was exiled to Hengzhou prison. Fortunately, I was pardoned by the new emperor, and I never thought that the deceased was not you. Strange, who could the dead be? ”

"Huh?" Yang Jie was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Sins and sins, it turns out that I hurt my senior brother." Yang Jie said to Chang Yuezhen again: "Master, the disciple is deeply guilty and has concealed his past experience, please punish the master." ”

Chang Yue is really humane: "Yang Jie, who is the real deceased?" Do you know the truth? ”

Yang Jie said: "Tell the master, Yang Jie met a woman named Yang Hui back then, she tricked me into saying that she wanted to take me to a big family to be a maid, and after I went out of the city with her, she wanted to sell me to an old man Liu as his wife. That night, I happened to meet four strong men, one of whom beat Yang Hui to death, and the other dismembered her body and threw her in the Chenshui River. I, I can't imagine that if I left, I would cause others to suffer innocently. ”

After listening to Yang Jie's words, Wang Shancai suddenly realized, and Wang Zhenren also clasped his hands and said: "Sin, sin." Wang Shan, it turns out that you have been wronged. ”

Yang Jie also said: "Senior brother, Yang Jie is willing to go to Chenzhou with you, find the government to clear your name for you, and return your innocence." ”

Wang Zhenren said: "Okay, without further ado, you can go down the mountain tomorrow." ”

"No, Wang Shan is not wronged," Wang Shan said lightly: "True person, although Wang Shan did not kill anyone, but because of trivial matters, he quarreled with others, moved his 'hatred' thoughts, and committed the crime of evil mouth, so he suffered from prison, isn't he deserved?" Now that my sister and I have converted to Taoism, why should we care about that ethereal reputation? ”

"But, it's too wronged to be like this, senior brother." Yang Jie was still uneasy, after all, Wang Shan's injustice arose because of himself.

Wang Shan pondered for a moment, and wrote a poem called "Dou Qu", and said softly:

Humane Dou E's injustice, Dou Injustice is still in the sky.

How many bends in the world, annihilation between spittle.

Chang Yuezhen's heart was shocked, and he silently recited the poem written by Wang Shan casually, and looked at him carefully, and couldn't help but be full of joy, and praised: "Wang Shan, although you have been in the Tao for a short time, you can have this understanding and become a teacher." ”

Wang Shan hurriedly said: "I'm ashamed, Wang Shan is ignorant and unwise, and the real person is praised." ”

Chang Yue Zhenren: "Although my name is Xidao, I am too old and weak to travel far, unable to educate the people, and I am looking for a disciple who is interested in preaching among the disciples, and give him a gold medal for sin relief, so that he can inherit my will, travel the world, preach the Dharma, and avoid the emperor's favor." Wang Shan, if you have this ambition, you can take my mantle and become the West. ”

Wang Shan was shocked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, my disciple's Taoism is shallow, how can I afford this Wuji name?" ”

Wang Zhenren: "Wang Shan, you deserve it." ”

Yang Jie also said happily: "Congratulations, senior brother! ”

Wang Zhenren immediately took out the gold medal, Wang Shan hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed three times, Wang Zhenren handed the gold medal to Wang Shan, and said: "You study for a few more months, and then go down the mountain." Sichuan Heming Mountain Li Qingdao chief last month letter, please go to preside over the Heming Mountain Taoist Temple, I have wasted time one hundred and six, frail and sick, inconvenient to travel, you can go to Heming Mountain to be a host. Remember, in the future, we must work hard, promote the Dharma, educate all the people, and stabilize the society. ”

Wang Shan was surprised and delighted, took the gold medal, worshiped the real person again, and made a grand wish: "Wang Shan is blessed with the grace of the real immortal master, and he will definitely do his best to promote the Tao and live up to the high expectations of the immortal master." ”
