Tang Hai and the three of them waited in the hotel until late at night and didn't see Ye Yang return, and couldn't help but feel anxious, Tang Hai said: "Let's go, let's go to Xiaolong's house again." The four of them returned to the outside of Xiaolong and Jinzi's house, and after knocking on the door for a long time and still not seeing an answer, Tang Hai was anxious, pacing back and forth outside the house, always thinking about Ye Yang's safety.

After more than half an hour, he saw the two figures coming from far and near, Tang Hai greeted him, it was Xiaolong and Jinzi, and asked anxiously: "Where did Brother Xiaolong and Sister Jinzi go?" Came back so late. Xiaolong and Jin Zi couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Tang Hai guarding the door of their house late at night, and saw Shan Yong and Lin Yuan standing on both sides of the door with their hands on their waists.

Xiao Longqi asked, "The three brothers are looking for us so late?" Tang Hai said: "There is something I want to ask Brother Xiaolong, let's go into the house and talk about it in detail." Xiaolong said: "Okay." ”

The five of them entered the house, and as soon as Tang Hai sat down on the chair, Jin Zi instantly took out a short knife and put the blade against Tang Hai's neck from the back of the chair.

Lin Yuan pointed his finger at the gold and said sharply: "Ghost girl, let go of my eldest brother!" ”

Shan Yong was shocked: "Brother Long, what does this mean? ”

Tang Hai was also stunned by this sudden change, and after calming down, his mind was racing: "Could it be that Xiaolong, Jinzi and the little red wolf have seen through our identities, and first worked together to subdue the fourth brother, and then come to rob and kill me, the second brother, and the third brother?" ”

Tang Hai couldn't help but sigh and said, "Second brother, eldest brother regrets not listening to you!" ”

Xiaolong sneered: "Hmph! The world's first thief broke the evil and established the right, and killed the scum of the rivers and lakes and corrupt officials? How nice it sounds, I think you are the real scum of the rivers and lakes! Xiaolong pointed at Tang Hai violently, his face showing murderous aura.

Shan Yong coldly scolded Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, I thought you were a good man, but I didn't expect you to be so dirty." ”

Tang Hai waved his hand towards Shan Yong, signaling not to say anything, Tang Hai knew that there was no right or wrong in the rivers and lakes, and there was no reason to talk about it, and it was useless to reason with Xiaolong now.

Xiaolong sneered: "I'm dirty, I think it's you who are dirty!" Tang Hai, the government can't help you, the heroes of the world can't do anything about you, if you meet me today, it will be your death! ”

Tang Hai just asked lightly, "What about my fourth brother?" ”

Xiaolong said: "He's fine, he didn't die, but I'll let him die, don't worry." ”

Tang Hai sighed and said, "Tang Hai has traveled south and north for many years, and he has never killed an innocent person!" This life is bright, and there is no regret in death, but it just hurt the fourth brother and made me feel uneasy. ”

"Hurt the fourth brother? Do you mean that the second brother and the third brother are safe today? Xiaolong was determined to eliminate the evil, kill Tang Hai first, and then kill Shan Yong and Lin Yuan, so he walked to the door and bolted it as he spoke.

Tang Hai said with a smile: "Xiaolong, are you confident that you can beat my second and third brothers?" ”

Xiaolong snorted and sneered: "Tang Hai, you sell your reputation, say that good people are evil to me and I am good, and evil people are good to me and I am evil, and you also claim that you are breaking evil and standing upright, not in vain, how many people have been deceived, everyone is straight and said that you are a hero of benevolence and righteousness, but you don't want you to be a hypocrite, and you are not ashamed to die today, saying that this life is bright!" Tell you, when you meet me today, none of your four brothers will want to live. ”

Shan Yong and Lin Yuan just sneered when they heard this.

Tang Hai thought secretly: "Listening to Xiaolong's words, it seems that his brother and sister want to kill me out of righteousness rather than personal vendetta......"

Xiaolong secretly thought: "The thief is famous, I killed him today, and the hero who doesn't know the truth says that I am evil, why don't I force him to write a self-confession, let him be ugly, and in the future, I can teach my friends in the rivers and lakes to know that my brother and sister are for the people." Then he said: "Tang Hai, it's okay to teach me not to kill you, you just need to write down the evil things that your four brothers have done one by one, and my brothers and sisters will spare you today." ”

Tang Hai said: "Brother Xiaolong, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us, although Tang Hai is not a hero, he is by no means a hypocrite, and he has never done anything unseemly. ”

Jin Zi sneered: "Tang Hai, you have to quibble, your real name is Tang Hai, and now you call yourself Tang Dahai, isn't it hypocritical?" Brother Long and I have no grievances or enmity with you, but you want to attack us, aren't you treacherous? ”

Tang Haiqi said: "Brother Xiaolong, my fourth brother didn't return all night, I heard that he met a new friend named Little Red Wolf yesterday, we are worried about his safety, we know that you are familiar with Little Red Wolf, so I came to ask you about this person late at night, how can you say that you are poisoned?" ”

Xiaolong was shocked: "You are here to inquire about the whereabouts of the little red wolf and Ye Yang?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "We are just here to ask about the whereabouts of the fourth brother, Xiaolong, quickly ask Jin Zi to release my eldest brother, if she hurts my eldest brother, my second brother and I will definitely kill today." Shan Yong also warned: "My eldest brother is here in Sichuan, targeting the little red wolf, and your brother and sister had better not interfere." Tang Haidao: "If the three of us have the intention of harming us, how can we not bring a sword?" How can they blatantly wait for you at your door? ”

Xiaolong thought about it and felt that it was right, he had been dating Tang Hai for a month, they were heroic and heroic, no matter how they looked at it, they didn't look like sinister villains, maybe it was really a misunderstanding, or let Tang Hai go for the time being, Nai said: "Jinzi, let him go." ”

Jin Zi hesitantly withdrew the knife that was hanging on Tang Hai's neck.

Shan Yong and Lin Yuan hurriedly walked over to help Tang Hai up, Tang Hai waved his hand, still sitting on the chair and refused to get up, Lin Yuan saw that Tang Hai had a red line on his neck, slightly penetrating blood, he couldn't help but be furious, and stared at the gold fiercely, Tang Hai smiled: "It's okay, just find me a piece of cloth to bandage it." Shan Yong hurriedly tore his sleeves, made a long cloth bag, and carefully bandaged Tang Hai's wounds.

Tang Hai got up and bowed deeply to Xiaolong: "The matter of the first thug in Hanzhong training the little overlord made Tang Hai extremely admired, the little red wolf did a lot of evil, Tang Hai wanted to get rid of it, but since he was a friend of the Xiaolong brothers, Tang Hai withdrew his previous plan, and only begged the new emperor of Xiaolong to release my fourth brother, and we will still be friends in the future." ”

It is rumored that the four thieves killed the bullies and corrupt officials in the rivers and lakes, that is, robbed money and lives, and never attacked innocent people. ”

Tang Haiqi said: "How do you say this? ”

Xiaolong said: "Ba Hongliang, the owner of our gambling house, is the cousin-in-law of Jian Lanning, the owner of the Dragon and Tiger Club, and the little red wolf is the leader of Jian Lanning's branch in Zi County, and everyone is also a family and knows each other. The little red wolf and the county of Zixian Liang Wen have a very close personal relationship, he is embarrassed, often from the government to resell weapons to make money, that day the little red wolf drunk to me to inquire about weapons buyers, it just so happened that I know two gamblers, a nickname five Yama King, a number can fly outside, he is the leader of the rebel Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, although Zhang Xianzhong descended to the court, but secretly recruited troops to buy horses to buy weapons, I discussed with Jinzi, decided to match this deal, from which to earn some silver. Tonight, Jin Zi and I took the Five Yama Kings and Ke Feitian to pick up the goods as agreed, but we couldn't wait for the little red wolf to come, thinking that he had missed the appointment, and the Five Yama Kings and Ke Feitian left angrily. I went down the other road with Jinzi, but I didn't expect that as soon as we reached the side of the road, we heard the sound of fighting in the woods, and we followed the sound to see, and a black shadow was pressing on another person, and heard the black shadow say: 'Little red wolf, you hear clearly, my eldest brother has always been a good man, and I am also good, and the wicked are good to me and I am evil, and you are a wicked person. I realized that the man who was crushed to the ground was the little red wolf, so I subdued the black shadow with gold and saved the little red wolf. Later, Jin Zi saw that the black shadow turned out to be Brother Ye Yang, so we killed the little red wolf without doing anything, hid him with a cart of weapons, and then came back on our own. We all covered our faces during the whole process, Brother Ye Yang didn't know who we were, and I guess he should go back to the hotel by now. ”

Tang Hai was overjoyed, knelt down and said: "Brother Xiaolong and Sister Jin Zi are very kind today, Tang Hai will always remember and never forget." ”

Xiaolong hurriedly helped him up and said, "It's a trivial matter, didn't Brother Ye Yang and Brother Lin Yuan also save gold?" When I came back with Jinzi, I saw the three of you standing downstairs, and thought that the four of you had robbed me and the little red wolf separately, so I ......"

Tang Haidao: "It's just that I'm worried about the safety of my fourth brother, and I was anxious to visit late at night, so that Brother Long and Sister Jin Zi misunderstood." ”

Xiaolong said: "It was me and Jin Zi who were reckless. ”

Shan Yong and Lin Yuan also bowed: "Thank you Brother Long and Sister Jin Zi for saving the fourth brother!" ”

Xiaolong smiled: "If we don't stop it, Brother Ye Yang has already killed the little red wolf." ”

Tang Haidao: "Now the little red wolf is dead, although it was killed by Jinzi's sister, but my fourth brother went to deliver the goods with the little red wolf, and the government traced it, he must not be able to get out of it, it seems that Chengdu can't stay, we go, I don't know when we can meet again." ”

Xiaolong said, "Where are you going?" ”

Tang Haidao: "I heard that there is a Taoist chief on Heming Mountain in the west of Chengdu, he preaches the Tao widely, saves people to help the world, and teaches people to be kind, Tang Hai is admired, and I heard that he is going to hold a 'Tao Dharma is only good' conference in the near future, and I also intend to go to join in the fun." ”

Xiaolong said: "Are you talking about Wang Shandao on Heming Mountain?" ”

Tang Haidao: "Exactly, you also know?" ”

Xiaolong said: "Jin Zi and I went to visit Wang Daochang last year, this person inherited Wang Changyue's mantle and became the West Dao, it is a good way for you to go to him, you can learn the Tao, and you can avoid the eyes and ears of the government, if Wang Daochang is willing to take him in, with his gold medal protection, the government can't do anything about you." ”

Tang Haidao: "Okay, then let's go to Heming Mountain early tomorrow morning." You and Sister Kaneko take care, and we'll see you on Heming Mountain when we have a chance. ”

Tang Hai and the three returned to the hotel and were pleased to see that Ye Yang was drinking alone.

Seeing that the three brothers were back, Ye Yang smiled and asked, "Where have you been?" Tang Hai didn't answer and asked, "Where have you been?" Ye Yang still smiled: "I went to make a deal for my eldest brother, hehe." Tang Hai pretended not to know: "What kind of business?" Ye Yang took out a piece of bloody human skin and put it on the table to unfold it, and said with a smile: "Big brother, what do you think this is?" When the three of them saw it, it was a human skin with a red wolf tattooed on it. Tang Hai, Shan Yong, and Lin Yuan knew that they were cut off from the little red wolf, and Tang Hai asked coldly, "Do you think you are very capable?" ”

I thought that the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother would be surprised, but I didn't expect them to turn a blind eye one by one, which surprised Ye Yang a lot. Ye Yang looked at the three of them and asked, "Who are you?" Lin Yuan blamed: "How many times has the eldest brother said that we don't go ahead with that reckless hero who is so brave and ruthless." ”

Ye Yang was shocked: "You guys, do you know what I'm going to do?" ”

Shan Yong asked, "Do you know who killed the little red wolf and spared your life?" ”

"Huh? You guys, how do you know? Ye Yang was stunned.

Lin Yuan said: "That's Xiaolong and gold, if it's not them who go to pick up the goods today, and you change to someone else, your life will be gone!" ”

The more Ye Yang listened, the more shocked he became! Oh my God, such a secret thing is known to everyone in the world.

Tang Haidao: "Hurry up and change your clothes, we left Chengdu overnight to go to Heming Mountain." ”

"What are you going to do in Heming Mountain?" Ye Yang asked.

Tang Haidao: "You are so disobedient, I have to send you to Heming Mountain to be a Taoist priest, let you read the scriptures, and sharpen your evil spirit." ”

Shan Yong and Lin Yuan were happy, and the two covered their mouths and snickered, making the second monk of Ye Yang Zhangzhang confused, and stood there stupidly in a daze.

Heming Mountain is located in Dayi County, the western suburb of Chengdu, the mountain is steep, resembling a crane, so it is called Heming. The first generation of Zhang Tianshi in the Eastern Han Dynasty established Taoism here, widely preached Taoism, cured diseases and saved people, and was the birthplace of Taoism.

Tang Hai, Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang entered the mountainous area, but saw that the ancient trees were towering to the sky, and the steles and stones were lined up, and there was a fairy atmosphere. The four of them walked forward on foot and came to the south cliff stone wall, only to see that the poem was engraved on it:

The dark desert embraces the root of the sky, and there is a point inside and a point outside.

Who can find the hermit of Sanfeng, the nine-chamber cloud cliff is deeper.

Lin Yuan said to himself: "Whoever has nothing to write poems so high, I wonder how he climbed up." Tang Haidao: "When the immortal Zhang Sanfeng cultivated in Heming Mountain, Emperor Chengzu sent someone to welcome him, but the messenger looked for several years in Heming Mountain and did not find Zhang Sanfeng's figure, one day he suddenly found this poem on the cliff, and the messenger copied this poem and brought it back to the capital to restore his life, and finally handed it over. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The eldest brother is very knowledgeable, and he even knows the affairs of the immortal family!" ”

Ye Yang said: "That messenger is too incompetent, if I, no matter where he Zhang Sanfeng is hiding, I will find him out in half a day." ”

Shan Yong said: "Nuoda is a mountain, how can you find people in half a day?" ”

Ye Yang said with a smile: "I let people set fire to this mountain everywhere, you can see that he can't come out." ”

Tang Hai scolded: "This is a holy place of Taoism, don't talk nonsense." ”

Ye Yang stuck out his tongue and said, "Okay, I'll just shut up." ”

After walking for more than two hours, the four of them came to the Heavenly Master Palace, which enshrined the statue of the first generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, there is a golden plaque in the middle of the hall, and the book "Dao Zheng Zexing" is written, and a couplet is written on the left and right sides:

The statue of Weiwei is like a prayer day

When the melancholy crane chirps and walks

Tang Hai four people visited the statue of the Heavenly Master, and came to Shangqing Palace, Wenchang Palace, Tiangu Cave, Doumu Hall to worship God, a inquiry, learned that Wang Shandao lived in the Three Holy Palace, and the four of them came to the Three Holy Palace to visit the Holy Palace.

The Sansheng Palace is an ancient building, with two floors above and below, glass glaze, flying to the sky, magnificent, highlighting the mighty **, and the four words "Dao Qi lasts forever" are written on it. Tang Hai and the four of them entered the palace to watch, only to see the statues of Taishang Laojun, Lu Dongbin and Zhang Sanfeng, and after the four of them visited one by one, they saw a middle-aged Taoist priest next to them, Tang Hai stepped forward and asked: "Immeasurable Tianzun, may I ask where Wang Shandao is cultivating?" We came from Guizhou to visit the Taoist chief. ”

The Taoist priest said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and report for you." ”

Tang Hai hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you." ”

The Taoist priest walked towards the backyard of the Three Holy Palaces, and it didn't take long for him to lead another Dao Chang to this side, Tang Hai saw that the Dao Chang was six feet tall, his face was thin, his pace was steady, and he was full of energy.

The person who came was Wang Shan, Wang Shan saw Tang Hai and the four of them, and clasped his hands together and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" ”

Tang Hai also clasped his palms together and bowed: "The layman Tang Hai greets the Taoist. ”

Wang Shan said: "The four of you invite the backyard guest hall to have tea." ”

Tang Haidao: "Thank you, Daoist. ”

The backyard of the Sansheng Palace is a row of bungalows, Wang Shan took four people into the scripture reading room, only to see that it was full of dozens of wooden cabinets and books, Lin Yuan exclaimed: "So many books! I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it for the rest of my life. Wang Shan invited everyone to sit down in the guest hall on the west side of the scripture reading room, and said to Lin Yuan: "Life is short, it depends on how you use it, if you use it well, you can make boundless merits, if you don't use it well, you will achieve nothing!" Tang Hai listened to Wang Shan's words, nodded yes, and exclaimed: "Life is fleeting, the merits are boundless, Wang Daochang's words are like the finishing touch, admire!" ”

Everyone sat down, and Wang Shan sighed: "Many Taoist priests always want to be quiet and do nothing, concentrate on cultivating the Tao, but the Tao does nothing and does nothing, and for a lifetime, how can they only care about themselves and ignore others?" We cultivators should think of the common people in the world, and we should not learn from the hermits of the ancients, and only try to cultivate the Tao with a pure heart and ignore the joys and sorrows of the people. Tang Haidao: "What the Taoist said is that the Taoist has worked hard for the people of the world, and his merits are immeasurable. ”

At this time, the little Taoist priest served the tea, and Wang Shan invited the four of them to taste the tea.

Wang Shan looked at Tang Hai and the others, and saw that the four of them were leaking fierce appearances and righteous inside, and they thought that they were righteous people who were jealous and hateful, so he was happy in his heart and said happily: "Wang Shanguang preaches the Fa, not to ask everyone to cultivate any immortals, but only one purpose: to let the people of the world devote their hearts to goodness, stay away from deceit, and realize the harmony of heaven and earth, and the great harmony of all people." ”

Tang Hai was both surprised and delighted when he heard this, and said earnestly: "When there is a great chaos today, many people with lofty ideals seek benevolence and righteousness, how can they not know what the way out is, dare to ask the Tao, the people's hearts are not ancient, how can the Three Qing Dao Law guide the people to goodness?" ”

Wang Shandao: "The chaos in the world is all because of a greedy word, the world's great greed, all because of a desire word, the world's great desire, all because of a delusional word, so all sentient beings do not know the truth, for the delusional heart." The Tao Dharma should teach people to be delusional, empty of people's desires, to eliminate great greed, and to keep sentient beings pure, where does the chaos arise? ”

Tang Haidao: "Good! Tang Hai is determined to break the evil and establish the right, and now he is on Heming Mountain to seek the Tao, hoping to seek the teachings of the Taoist at all times, and if there is a disturbance to the Taoist master's cultivation, he hopes to forgive his sins. ”

Wang Shanxi said: "Where is it, the four good masters can live in the contemplation, and you and I can practice the same way and learn from each other's strengths." Seven days later, Heming Mountain happened to open the 'Heavenly Way is only good' altar, and hundreds of people from all over the world will participate in the ceremony, so you will stay and participate in the meeting. ”

Tang Hai said happily: "Don't hide it, Tang Hai is here for this 'Taoism is only good' Fa. ”

In addition to inviting the head of Wang Ju in Longhu Mountain, Tao Xiyan in Laoshan in Qingdao, and Confucius in Qingcheng Mountain, Wang Shan also sent invitations to all Taoist temples in the world. On the day of the opening of the altar, hundreds of Taoist chiefs and believers participated, the scale was large, the atmosphere was strong, the altar was opened for five days, it was full every day, each Taoist chief successively ascended the altar to preach, Wang Shan had already preached the "Sitting and Forgetting Theory Comprehension", "Pure Sutra Practice" two sessions, and today we want to talk about "Wenchang Emperor Jun Yin Qi Wen".

Tang Hai took Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang to sit down at the venue early in the morning. The venue is set up in an open place, surrounded by ancient trees, on the west side there is a square wooden altar, the altar is three feet high, all of them are paved with wooden boards, there is a child holding a flag at each of the four corners of the altar, and in the middle is a long wooden table half a foot high. At sunrise, hundreds of Taoist chiefs, Taoist priests, and believers came to the scene one after another, and Wang Shan, dressed in a black Taoist robe, slowly ascended to the altar under the leadership of two boys, and sat cross-legged behind the wooden table.

The Taoist chief sat down, and the audience was suddenly silent, silent as night, Wang Shan said: "Fellow Daoists, good masters, immeasurable Tianzun!" Wang Shan looked around the venue, his face showed a look of joy, "Wenchang Emperor Jun Yin Qi Wen" is a Taoist classic, is a treasure book to persuade people to do good, the Bible of seeking truth and taking the Tao, I am now Hong, and I am willing to share it with you. Wang Shan paused for a moment, and then recited in a low voice: "The emperor said: I am a scholar in the seventeenth century, and I have not abused the people and cruel officials; The difficulty of saving people, the urgency of helping people, the loneliness of mercy, and the fault of tolerating others; Wide line of yin, on the sky. If anyone can be as I am, heaven will bless you. So he trained people and said: In the past, he was in the public prison, and the gate of the horse was greatly developed; Dou's Jiren, high fold five branches of cinnamon; Saving ants, the choice of the champion; Bury the snake and enjoy the glory of the prime minister. If you want to widen the blessing field, you must rely on your heart; It is convenient to do all kinds of yin work; Benefit people and cultivate goodness; Integrity on behalf of heaven, kindness for the country to save the people; Be egalitarian, enlarge a lot, be loyal to the Lord and filial piety, respect brothers and believers, live in harmony with couples, teach children and grandchildren, do not slow down teachers, do not insult the holy word; or to fight in the true court, or worship the Buddha and recite scriptures, repay the four graces, and widely practice the three religions; talk about morality and turn treachery into stubbornness, talk about history and know ignorance; Relief is like a fish in a dry rut, and saving danger is like saving a sparrow in Miro; Be lonely and compassionate to the widows, respect the elderly and pity the poor, be kind and virtuous, spare others and blame themselves; food and clothing, hunger and cold on the roads; The coffin is used to avoid the exposure of the corpse; Build a garden of benevolence and enlightenment; Wealthy families, bringing relatives; Hunger, help neighbors and friends; The bucket scale must be fair, and it should not be lightly entered and entered; Slaves should not be forgiven, and should not be rebuked and demanded? printing scriptures and building monasteries; Give herbs to save the sick and suffering, and apply tea to quench thirst; light night lights to illuminate people's walks, and build river boats to help people cross; or buy things and release them, or fast and abstain from killing; Walk often to see insects and ants, ban fire and burn mountains and forests; Do not climb the mountain and net birds, do not poison fish and shrimp by water; Don't slaughter ploughing oxen, don't throw away paper; Do not seek the property of others, and do not envy the skills of others; Do not commit adultery to the wives and daughters of others, and do not incite lawsuits; Don't spoil people's fame and fortune, don't ruin people's marriages; Do not cause discord among your brothers because of personal enmity; Don't make a father and son discordant because of small profits; Don't rely on power to insult the good, don't bully the poor because of the rich; Be humble according to your duty, abide by the rules and obey the law; reconcile the clan and explain grievances; The good people are close to them, helping them to practice virtue in body and mind; The wicked are far away, and the calamity is imminent; It is always necessary to conceal evil and promote good, not duplicity; Always remember the words that are beneficial, and the words that are indecent to talk about; The thorn hazel that obstructs the road, except for the tile stone on the way; Build hundreds of years of Qiqi road and build a bridge for tens of millions of people to come and go; Vertical training to qualify people, donate funds to adult beauty; We must follow the principles of heaven in our work, and we must follow our words; See the sage in the wall, and know the shadow in the shadow; Do not do any evil, but do all good; There is never evil coming, and there is always the support of auspicious gods. The near report is in oneself, and the distant report is in the children and grandchildren. Hundred blessings and thousands of auspicious gatherings, don't you get someone from the yin skull! ”

When Wang Shan recites the scriptures, his tone is subdued and orderly, swaying freely, sometimes the sound is like a bell, sometimes the words are like a trickle, and the audience is like bathing in the spring breeze, and it seems to be drinking Jiachun.

Wang Shan looked around the venue, with a kind look on his face, and said kindly: ""The Wenchang Emperor Yin Qi Wen" guides people to be kind, and the merit is great. I hope that all of you can spread this text widely for the benefit of all sentient beings, if everyone can recite this sutra and practice it, the people will be simple and thieves, and the world will be peaceful and the country will be prosperous. ”

At that time, a person in the audience got up and asked: "Daoist Wang, your cultivation is quite high, and you have admired it for a long time, although I have read a few Taoist classics, but I am ignorant by nature and do not understand its meaning, can I ask the Taoist to teach?" ”

At first glance, I saw that this person was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, seven feet tall, lean and strong, dressed simply, with a lovely smile, and looked like a young farmer.

Wang Shan replied: "The good master has a heart to the Tao, Wang Shan is pleased, if you have any questions, please speak." ”

The man asked, "Emperor Wenchang Yin Qi Wenyan: 'Bury the snake and enjoy the glory of the prime minister.'" 'The snake and even the poison, everyone has to kill it, why is there merit in burying this poison?' ”

Wang Shandao: "The Tao gives birth to all things, each with its own nature, and it cannot be generalized by good and evil. Although the snake is poisonous, it also has love, and there is merit in saving it, and it is karmic to kill. ”

Then the man asked, "So killing a serpent is also evil?" The Taoist chief just said that the wicked will avoid it, and the disaster is imminent, may I ask, can the wicked be saved? ”

Wang Shan smiled slightly after hearing this: "Emperor Wenchang also said: 'Talk about morality and turn treacherous and stubborn. 'All living beings in the world can be measured, and under the Tao, there is no difference between good and evil. ”

The man was a little happy, clasped his palms together and said, "Thank you for enlightenment!" ”

At the end of the lecture, the flow of people who listened to the lecture dispersed in all directions, Tang Hai hurriedly separated the flow of people and eagerly interspersed forward, Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang were very surprised, Shan Yong raised his hand and was about to call Tang Hai, but he disappeared in an instant. Lin Yuan asked, "Where is the eldest brother going?" Shan Yong shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know either." Ye Yang said with a smile: "The eldest brother has been fascinated by the Dao Law recently, and I think he wants to be a fairy and wants to fall into a dream." Shan Yong said: "Let's go separately to find the eldest brother." ”

After Tang Hai rushed out of the crowd, he looked at it, and saw that the person who asked the question just now had walked far away in the direction of going down the mountain, and Tang Hai chased after him, but there were too many people, and it was a stone step down the mountain, so Tang Hai's speed couldn't get up, and he chased for a long time before gradually getting closer.

The man's steps were vigorous, and Tang Hai shouted after him: "The righteous man stays." ”

The man stopped and looked back, and saw a stranger chasing after him angrily, and was very strange, and asked, "What does this big brother call me?" ”

Tang Hai said with a rough breath: "Brother, you don't know me?" ”

The man looked at it and recognized Tang Hai, and said with great joy: "It turned out to be Brother Tang, the last time we met in Luoshan, I didn't know that Big Brother was the world's first thief who was famous in the rivers and lakes, and he was disrespectful." ”

Tang Haidao: "Tang Hai is a scattered person from the five lakes and a vagabond at the end of the world, but the Tang Xi brothers are deeply hidden and admirable." Back then, I wanted to find the ghost killer, but the ghost killer was in front of me but I didn't know each other, and later learned that my brother was the ghost killer who pretended to be Wei Tuo, Tang Hai beat his chest and regretted it, God was fortunate to meet today, I implore the virtuous brother to follow me up the mountain, you and I will not be drunk tonight. ”

When the two returned to the altar venue, there were only three people looking around, Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, Ye Yang, and a few Taoist priests who were busy cleaning up the scene. Tang Hai beckoned Shan Yong and the others: "Second brother, come here." Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang hurriedly walked over and asked, "Where did the eldest brother go?" Tang Hai pointed at Tang Xi and said, "Who do you think this is?" Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang also recognized Tang Xi, and Shan Yong said: "It turned out to be Brother Tang Xi, and you are also here!" Lin Yuan said: "You are the one who asked the Daoist just now!" Ye Yang said: "Ha, you ghost killer is so unreasonable, I went down to catch the money thief Lu Qi on a moonlit night, why did you stop me?" Tang Hai, Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Tang Xi laughed.

Brothers get together, naturally it is indispensable to have a painful drink, the five people entered the restaurant and sat down in turn, Tang Hai let the shopkeeper serve the food, and asked Tang Xi: "After the arrest of the virtuous brother, the four brothers wanted to join forces with the Shi'an brothers to save you, I and the second brother Shan Yong, the fourth brother Ye Yang stayed in Luoshan, and the third brother Lin Yuan went to Hengshan to invite the three brothers of Ala Tai, Siren and Shi'an, who had thought that the third brother went to Yuezhou and was captured by Liang Hu, the owner of Bailuo Village, and the three of us rushed to Yuezhou in a hurry, and designed to kill his whole family and dozens of evil snakes, this change was delayed for three months, Later, I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes, some said that you were recruited by the imperial court to be a general, and some said that you were rescued by six imps on the rivers and lakes, wandering around the world, still pretending to be Wei Tuo to rob and kill the bullies in the rivers and lakes. Brother, what is the truth? ”

Tang Xi said: "The money thief Lu Qi mentioned by Brother Ye Yang is the one who copied Wang Feng and Wang Yu in Putian, Liu Jia in Hefei, Zhang Chuan, and Qiuguang in Hefei to set up a clever plan to save the younger brother from prison. After leaving Luoshan, the younger brother didn't go anywhere, and went to Wudang Mountain alone under the pseudonym 'Tang Wei' to study art for several years, and then heard that the rebels were swarming and the world was in chaos, so he had the heart to go down the mountain to visit his mother. Because there was no entanglement, he happened to meet Hanzhong Tianren on Wudang Mountain and hired a master to serve as the head of the manor, and the younger brother went to Biyuntang to be the head of the manor. Later Hanzhong's first thug Xiaolong and the little Rakshasa girl Jin Zi made trouble in Biyuntang, and was almost killed by Tian Ren, and the younger brother saw that Tian Ren was not benevolent, so he rescued the two and rushed back to his hometown that night to visit his mother. For fear of being captured by the government, he stayed at home for half a month and then wandered out. Recently, I heard that Wang Shandao is determined to educate people with Taoism, spread the Dharma, and set up a "Heavenly Way is only good" altar in Heming Mountain, so he rushed to listen to the Dharma, not wanting to meet the four elder brothers. ”

Tang Hai was overjoyed: "Xiaolong and Jin escaped from Hanzhong and sneaked into Chengdu, we got along in Chengdu for more than a month, like brothers, I never thought that the virtuous brother and his brother and sister also have fate, it seems that it is the will of heaven for all of us to get together." Brother Tang Xi has nowhere to go at present, why not follow my brothers to break the evil and establish righteousness? ”

Tang Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "The eldest brother will not give up, and the younger brother is willing to follow him." ”

Tang Hai, Shan Yong, and Lin Yuan were overjoyed, but Ye Yang said: "I'm so strange, I see that you are as thin as a monkey, why don't you look like a ghost killer, it won't be a fake, right?" ”

Tang Hai scolded: "Hugh is talking nonsense. Then he said to Tang Xi: "He speaks the most nonsensical, don't be surprised." ”

Tang Xi smiled and didn't care, and asked, "How can the four eldest brothers be on Heming Mountain?" ”

Tang Haidao: "To be honest, we recently had a grudge with the Dragon and Tiger Gang in Chengdu, and temporarily came to Heming Mountain to avoid the limelight. Moreover, the Tang Hai rivers and lakes have wandered for many years, quite feeling the vicissitudes of the sea, impermanent, and now living in the mountains, but often seeking advice from the Taoist, it is better than wandering in the rivers and lakes. ”

Ye Yang said: "Big brother, this is not far from the Guan Gong Palace, while the second child has not yet served the food, why don't my brothers go to the Guan Gong Palace to worship before coming to eat." Tang Hai was overjoyed: "The fourth brother's proposal is good." Immediately, La Tangxi came to the Guan Temple with Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang, knelt down to Guan Gong and swore an oath to become brothers in life and death.

After the worship, the five of them returned to the restaurant, just when the wine and meat were ready, the five of them said while eating, Tang Haidao: "Brother, we still have two good brothers, and they are also your Luoshan heroes, one is called Duan Qi, and the other is a wolf tyrant, and the two of them are worried about the safety of their families because they heard that the peasant rebels have entered Luoshan, and they are worried about the safety of their families and temporarily return to visit, and when they come back soon, I will let them meet you again." ”

Tang Xi was shocked when he heard this, he killed Duan Qi's husband, the White Dragon King, how could Duan Qi be righteous with him? Tang Xi was silent, Tang Hai saw that his expression was wrong, and secretly guessed the reason, Tang Xi said: "Big brother doesn't know, Duan Qi's husband is the White Dragon King, the overlord of Luoshan, and the White Dragon King is the last evil that the younger brother gets rid of in Luoshan. ”

Tang Hai, Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang were all shocked, they never expected such a coincidence, and after thinking for a while, Tang Hai said: "The eldest husband acts, based on good and evil, regardless of enmity and hatred, all brothers have killed people and done evil, but after swearing to Tang Hai, they are dedicated to breaking evil and establishing righteousness, and everyone has not become brothers in life and death!" You see, my second brother Shan Yong and I used to be enemies on the battlefield, but now we depend on each other for life and death. ”

Tang Xi smiled and said: "The little brother has kindness and hatred with that section of the seven, there is virtue and resentment, even if I can let it go, I am afraid that she will not allow me." ”

Tang Hai let out an "oh", and said after a moment: "Okay, the seventh sister is quite ambitious, broad-minded, and not a barbaric person, when she comes back, I will carefully advise her, and it doesn't hurt to forgive." ”

Tang Xi smiled and said, "But it depends on the arrangement of the eldest brother," and said: "The eldest brother said that the peasant army entered Luoshan, where did this news come from?"

Ye Yang said: "The eldest brother inquires about the peasant rebels every day, and the news he got is correct. Lin Yuan said: "The righteous army specializes in killing landlords and corrupt officials, they enter Luoshan, and your Luoshan will definitely make a fuss." ”

Tang Xi has been studying art in Wudang Mountain for many years, and now he has not been down the mountain for a long time, and he rarely asks about the killing of the rivers and lakes, and he has only heard that the peasant rebellion has made the Ming Dynasty unpeaceful, and he never thought that they would hinder the ordinary people. The more Tang Xi thought about it, the more worried he became, and said to Tang Hai: "Big brother, forgive me for being separated just now, it is really my mother who lives alone in the old house, and now that the righteous army has entered Luoshan, I should hurry home to visit Fang is the way of filial piety." ”

Although Tang Hai was reluctant, it was inconvenient to stay, so he had to say: "In this case, my brother will go early and return early, don't make me wait for a long time." ”
