Chang Yue, the king of Xidao, received the emperor's order and left the capital and went straight to Sichuan. After traveling for several months, when I arrived outside Chongqing, I saw barren crops on the roadside, walkers in a hurry, and everyone looked sad and panicked.

Wang Changyue frowned, stopped one person and asked, "Good lord, why is there no one to take care of the crops in the fields by the roadside, and what is the matter with you in a hurry?" ”

The man shook his head and sighed: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, something big happened in this Chongqing Mansion, Yongning Xuanfu made Hao Chongming, Hao Yin and his son rebel, and sent the generals Feitian General Fan Long and Zhendi General Fan Hu to lead an army of 30,000 to capture Chongqing, seize the city, establish themselves as kings, and build the country. Now he has sent troops to capture Zunyi, Luzhou, Xindu, Neijiang and other places, and is about to kill Chengdu! The people are in turmoil, life and death are uncertain, who is still in the mood to take care of the crops? ”

Wang Changyue said: "Wasn't the Yongning Xuanfu envoy enshrined by the imperial court?" Why rebel? ”

The man said: "It's not that the official is small, alas, the people's hearts are insufficient!" ”

After the man finished speaking, he left, and Wang Changyue sighed: "Yongning will not be restless from now on!" And thought: "The world is greedy for fame and profit, chasing power and lust, you fight for me, so that there is chaos, this is the reason why the road is not good, I have received the favor of the emperor, when the court to share the worries, Chongqing, Chengdu soldiers started in Yongning, Yongning is the den of the thief, I should go to Yongning to preach, educate the people, I hope to turn the war into a jade silk, but also a peaceful world." Wang Changyue's ambition has been determined, and he immediately turned around and went south, preaching and educating the people along the way, curing the sick and saving people, participating in Zen preaching, and walking to Zunyi for the rest of the month.

This day came to the congenital view, after the visit was completed, the congenital view of the host Chen Qingdao heard the name of Wang Changyue for a long time, insisted on retaining, Wang Changyue saw his sincerity, so he followed him into the back hall with tea.

Chen Qingdao: "Wang Zhenren was entrusted by the emperor to come to Guizhou to preach and educate people, which is really a blessing for the people of Guizhou. ”

Wang Changyue said: "The poor road is shallow, although I try my best, I am also afraid of losing the emperor's favor and innocent to the people, so I am always careful and dare not be careless." ”

Chen Dao said: "What do real people want? ”

Wang Changyue said: "Yongning." ”

Chen Dao said: "Yongning is the old nest of the rebellious and extravagant Ming, the source of chaos, why do real people go to this place of turmoil?" ”

Wang Changyue said: "It is precisely because the people of Yongning are uneasy that the poor Tao is determined to go to preach, and I hope that the people will be able to abandon evil and follow good. ”

Chen Daochang said happily: "The real person really thinks of the common people in the world, and the poor people are admired. ”

Wang Changyue clasped his hands together and said: "Chen Daochang has won the award, and the poor Dao is just doing his best." ”

Chen Dao said: "However, the real person doesn't know, Shuishui An Bangyan is also disobedient, he set himself up as the king of Luodian, led forty-eight Tumu to turn against the Ming, the thieves clamored to capture Bijie and Anshun, and now they are besieging Guiyang, how can the real person go to Yongning?" ”

Wang Changyue was shocked, this time to Yongning, must pass through Guiyang, Guiyang is fighting, the road to Yongning is blocked, how is it good?

In Wang Changyue's dilemma, Chen Dao said: "There is a disciple in our view, surnamed Xue Mingyun, who also has the ambition to help the world and save people, and has admired the real person for a long time, it is Yongning people, I heard him say that there is a small road leading to Yongning, if the real person does not dislike it, you can accept Xue Yun as a disciple, and he will take you there." ”

Wang Changyue was overjoyed when she heard this, but she had some concerns, and said: "The poor road is naturally unwanted, but the Taoist is a high-ranking disciple, how can the poor road snatch love." ”

Chen Dao said: "Where to say, we are all one family, what is the difference between you and me?" ”

Wang Changyue said: "Thank you for the poor way." ”

Chen Daochang then called Xue Yun to come to the apprenticeship with the little Taoist priest Zhu Qi, and he didn't come back for a long time, Chen Daochang said: "Or Xue Yun is difficult to come back after leaving the Taoist temple, why don't you invite a real person to visit the temple first?" ”

Wang Changyue said happily: "Poor Dao has this meaning. ”

Daoist Chen Qing immediately invited Wang Changyue to visit various places in the congenital temple and came to the outside of the Lu Zu Palace, but saw a poem on the stone wall:

Where is the scenery behind the mountain? Shanggu Lingji, since ancient Xuanyuan Temple. The clear stream gushes out and winds in a square. How much do you know about the green cypress. Yunshui leisurely travel is here today. The letter is groaning wildly, laughing freely. It is difficult for Wanjing to invade the heart.

Wang Changyue praised: "A good sentence 'it is difficult for ten thousand scenes to invade the heart', wonderful, wonderful." Chen Dao said: "The real person comes with me, and there is an anonymous inscription here, which has an excellent artistic conception." After taking Wang Changyue to the Sanqing Palace, I saw a poem on the wall:

Innate desire to don't want to groan. It clears the yin and scatters the gloom. There is no scorching heat, and gnats do not invade each other. Living quietly and peacefully for a long time, living for one day is better than a thousand gold.

This way friends are strong-hearted. The sun is looking for each other, and the sound is clear. Visiting the Tao and advocating the truth, through the past and the present. Nine summers are to be given without retribution, and when they leave, they will give away the wilderness.

Wang Changyue said happily: "'Stay for a day, win a thousand gold', it is really a vivid artistic conception, and the poor road must live in Baoguan for a day today." Chen Dao said: "The real person is willing to stay in the temple, it is an honor for the temple, take a day off, and live for three years and five years." Wang Changyue thanked: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

The two chatted while walking, Chen Qing looked at Wang Changyue carefully, and praised: "I heard that the real person is 100 years old, and now he looks like a hundred years old, and he looks like a fairy, and he is so enviable." After a pause, he said: "It's a shame to say that we have been practicing the poor Tao for forty-four years, and we have not been able to achieve life and death. Wang Changyue smiled and said, "Who has never died?" Where to see immortality? Is the immortal mortal? The immortal is not about filth. Where is Peng Zu so far, Yan Hui is still alive. The immortal, my dharma body, the immortal, my vitality. Chen Qing listened to the admiration and praised: "The poor Tao has been taught." ”

The two came to the Sanqing Palace, Chen Qing pointed to the gate of the Sanqing Palace: "The congenital view has lasted for thousands of years, it is the holy land of my Taoism, but it is a pity that there is a lack of a couplet on the main hall. Wang Changyue saw that there was really no connection on both sides of the gate, and thought to himself that such a big hall, without couplets is indeed a fly in the ointment, but I am a person from afar, how can I take the lead? was about to resign, but unexpectedly Chen Qingdao: "The avenue does not distinguish between you and me, the disciples of Sanqing are family, and the real person wants to resign." ”

Chen Qing turned around and ordered his disciples to put pen and ink on the table, Wang Changyue saw that he couldn't push it, so he said: "In this case, the poor Dao will try to make a couplet." Spread out the paper, held the pen, and after a moment of thought, wrote:

All things, the law of heaven and earth, are all born of yin and yang.

Serving all living beings, containing yin and spitting yang, it is completely created by heaven and earth.

Chen Qing was overjoyed, immediately ordered to collect it, tomorrow find someone to engrave on both sides of the gate, and said: "A few months ago, the rebels crossed the border from Zunyi, and a few thieves broke into the congenital view, they said in vain that there were no gods and ghosts in the world, and a fire was going to burn the Lu Zu Palace, fortunately they were persuaded by the pilgrims, and then when they left, they cut off the couplet outside the gate with a knife, and discarded it in the gutter. Wang Changyue sighed, and said again:

A pure heart is God.

Six desires are immortals.

Chen Qing was overjoyed, received Mobao, and invited Wang Zhenren to have tea in the back hall. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Zhu Qi with five or six Taoist priests running in a panic to say: "Master, Senior Brother Xue went into the city to buy sesame oil, and was falsely accused of being a traitor and arrested by the sergeant under the command of Governor Wang Sanshan and taken to the barracks." ”

Chen Qing was shocked and said angrily: "Since these officers and soldiers captured Zunyi, although they went to Guiyang to quell the chaos, they were afraid of traitors and the enemy like tigers, and they did not dare to advance in Zunyi, but they harmed the people here, which is really unreasonable!" ”

Wang Changyue asked Zhu Qi: "We cultivators have no quarrel with the world, how can the officials and soldiers arrest Xue Yun as a spy?" ”

Zhu Qi replied: "I heard that the official army was going to the Qingxiang Teahouse to catch a spy sent by An Bangyan, and Senior Brother Xue happened to be thirsty and was also drinking tea inside, and the officials and soldiers couldn't tell who was evil and who was good, so they arrested all the ten people who drank tea inside." ”

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, in order to catch one wicked person, is it possible to wronged nine good people?" Chen Qing was furious.

Wang Changyue said: "Don't worry, the poor road has a gold medal from the emperor, and officials at all levels bow down when they see the card, if the saint comes, the poor road will go to the barracks to ask them for someone to come back." ”

Chen Dao was overjoyed and said, "There are real people." ”

Zhu Qi took Wang Changyue straight to the official army camp, and when he arrived at the Wujiang River, he suddenly saw a floating corpse on the bank of the river, and the two hurriedly picked it up and dragged it into the grass on the shore, and looked at this person carefully, and saw that he was dressed in Taoist clothes, and his body and face were full of scars, Zhu Qi cried and shouted: "Senior Brother Xue Yun......" Wang Changyue saw that it was Xue Yun, his heart was sour, his eyes were moist, and he was silent for a long time. Zhu Qi was furious and said, "These sergeants are too hateful, let's go to their chief." Wang Changyue wiped her tears and said, "That's it, you go back and tell Daochang Chen that I will stay here for Xue Yunchao." ”

Zhu Qi agreed and left, Wang Changyue sat cross-legged on the ground, her eyes slightly closed, her palms folded, chanting the scriptures excessively, and only listening to the real person chanting:

Ten directions to save the suffering and put the Zen light, illuminating the iron wall of the copper city.

The deceased swirls with the light, leaving the netherworld and going to the dojo.

The flags flutter without a moon, and the wind moves the flags in an instant.

If the wind comes, the soul is attached, and the soul is led to the South Palace with the flag.

Taiyi Cizun Dabaolian, the fairy child took the next three days.

The fairy wind blows away the affairs of the world, and pulls out the souls of the dead out of the nine springs.

Thousands of mountains have water, thousands of rivers and moons, and thousands of miles of cloudless sky.

This night is good to take advantage of merit and strength, and it should come to repay good karma.

After the overtime, the real person opened his eyes and saw a young man standing quietly five or six steps away smiling at himself, Wang Changyue was about to get up, the young man hurriedly came over to help, and said: "The Taoist chief is kind-hearted, regardless of the dirt on the ground, for the wild undead to be overkill, which is admired by the younger generations." ”

Wang Changyue asked, "How does the good lord know that this is a wild undead?" He's my disciple. ”

The young man noticed that the deceased was also dressed as a Taoist priest, and said: "Oh, it turned out to be a Taoist apprentice, but now the soldiers are in chaos, and the bodies of the ownerless on the roadside are often unrestrained, so that they are devoured by wild beasts, and the white bones are exposed, which is not uncommon." Dare to ask why the elder disciple died in this wilderness, didn't he meet a robber? ”

Wang Changyue said: "Robbers? My Taoist disciple has no money and has no money, so how can the robbers make it difficult for us? My apprentice was falsely accused of being a spy and killed by the official army, which is really a strange injustice in the world! The world is unjust! Wang Changyue said and shed many tears.

The young man was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Does the Dao Chief know the name of the sergeant who unjustly killed your apprentice?" The younger generation will definitely seek justice for you. ”

Wang Changyue saw that the young man's face was angry, and his words were domineering, and then he examined it carefully, but saw that he was burly, magnificent, and handsome, revealing a thousand wisdom; His eyes are blazing, his spirit is bright, and his hands are all about calmness. Wang Changyue couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said: "The good master is young and has such a compassionate heart, which is commendable, but this official army is fierce, I am afraid that you are an ignorant young man, even if you have the heart to seek justice for my disciples, you are powerless." ”

As he was talking, a group of officers and soldiers came on horseback in the distance, and several of them were holding a few chickens and ducks in their hands, Wang Changyue stopped them angrily and scolded: "As a soldier of the country, you should eliminate violence and be peaceful, and love the people like relatives, how can you rob the people's chickens and ducks like this?" ”

Among them, the leader of the big man had a sideways face, and whipped Wang Changyue and scolded: "Stinky Taoist priest, get out of the way of grandpa, otherwise, the corpse behind you will be your example!" ”

Wang Changyue asked coldly: "So, my disciple was killed by you?" ”

The big man said: "It was the sergeant of the left battalion who did it, take care of Lao Tzu's, you get out of the way quickly, otherwise grandpa will whip it down, and your old bones will fall apart." ”

Wang Changyue took out the gold medal from his arms and raised it in his hand, and shouted: "The gold medal given by the emperor is here, why don't you get off the horse quickly!" ”

Seeing the gold medal, the leader of the big man suddenly trembled and almost fell off the horse. Most of the sergeants in the back were also frightened and overwhelmed, but there was a clever pawn who stepped forward and whispered to the big man: "The stinky Taoist priest actually has a gold medal for sin, it must be not small, we will be humiliated when we get off the horse, if he asks for his name, and then go to the commander to complain, it is better to end up with a head and move, it is better to ride a horse and escape, he doesn't know that we are from the military camp, and he doesn't know our names, even if he sues, he doesn't know who to sue, and the governor can't find out." ”

The big man nodded, with a weird smile on his face, and suddenly scolded seriously: "Bold, you Taoist priest dare to use a fake gold medal to deceive Lao Tzu, I was going to punish you, for the sake of the Taoist ancestor, spare you once, and next time you dare to commit it again, Uncle Ben will not tolerate it." ”

After speaking, the man fled from the side road, and the other sergeants also lost their chickens and ducks to follow, Wang Changyue was already a centenarian, how to stop it? Seeing that the team of sergeants was about to get away with it, he heard the young man next to him shout: "You are so bold, you actually ignore the gold medal of the first emperor, and are you not afraid of punishing the nine clans?" ”

The big man was furious, and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly saw the young man's face, and could not help but be shocked, and hurriedly jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee to salute, and the other sergeants also recognized the young man, and one by one obediently dismounted, and knelt on the ground trembling and did not dare to speak.

The young man pointed to Xue Yun's corpse and asked, "What's going on, let's be honest." ”

The leader of the Han said: "The subordinates don't know the details, they only know that it was Chen Zi and Wang Wan of the Zuoying General Banner who arrested a spy hidden in the teahouse, and arrested a total of ten people. ”

The young man was furious: "What is the reason for killing nine good people in vain in order to behead one spies? ”

The group of soldiers trembled and didn't dare to speak, and the young man didn't ask any more questions, turned around and respectfully knelt down in front of Wang Changyue and said: "It turned out to be the former emperor's edict of the Western Dao King Changyue Wang Zhenren, the lower official Tang Hai, who was under the command of Guizhou Governor Wang Sanshan. ”

Wang Changyue was shocked, and he couldn't imagine that the gentle and elegant young man in front of him was actually a general commanding thousands of troops and horses, and he was not arrogant or wild, respectful and polite, which was really valuable. Wang Changyue hurriedly helped Tang Haidao: "The general is young and promising, poor and admirable, now the traitor is killing the living beings, since the general is ordered to beg the thief, he should be a strict subordinate, do not disturb the people, let alone condone the sergeant to trample on human life, Gou has a common man who died unjustly, even if there are tens of millions of thieves, the merit is not perfect." ”

Tang Haidao: "What the real person taught is that the lower official assures the real person of three things, one is to severely punish the murderer, and return justice to the elder disciple; the second is that wherever the army goes, it destroys evil and establishes righteousness, and never kills a single person in vain; The third is to shave a disciple for a real person in the future, so as to make up for the lax mistakes of today's legal army. ”

Wang Changyue said: "I hope that the general will abide by his word, especially: 'Break the evil and establish the right, and never kill a person in vain.'" ’”

"Break the evil and establish the right, not one person in vain. Tang Hai is not only a promise to a real person, but also a promise to the people of the world," Tang Hai vowed.

Wang Changyue was overjoyed: "If the general can do this, my soul in the sky can be comforted." Please take the soldiers back to the camp, and hope that the army of benevolence and righteousness will be able to quell the rebellion, restore a stable life to the people, and return my holy king to a peaceful world. ”

Tang Hai worshiped Wang Changyue three times, knelt in front of the corpse of the little Taoist priest, and swore in front of Wujiang: "Tang Hai swears: In the future, when the army marches and fights, he must strictly discipline his subordinates, kill tens of millions of thieves, and never humiliate an innocent person. ”

After Tang Hai finished his oath, he left a few taels of silver that he carried with him and handed it to Wang Zhenren: "This little silver and two rights should be used as burial expenses, please accept it by real people." Wang Changyue saw Tang Hai's sincerity, so he accepted the silver and said: "Now the people of Guiyang are in dire straits, and I hope that the general will send troops to rescue them as soon as possible." Tang Hai said: "The lower official will go to see the governor and ask for troops." ”

Tang Hai glared fiercely at the group of sergeants who were still kneeling on the ground, turned around and threw their sleeves away, and all the sergeants stood up tremblingly and followed honestly. Zhu Qi hurriedly came with Chen Qing and more than a dozen other Taoist leaders, and when everyone saw Xue Yun's tragic situation, they all scolded the officials and soldiers for their carelessness. Wang Changyue shook his head and sighed: "The husband is a soldier, and the ominous weapon is also!" I hope that this benevolent and righteous Confucian will be able to fulfill his oath, lead the world's righteous soldiers to eliminate thieves, destroy evil and establish righteousness, and not a single person will be in vain. ”
