Chapter 26 Have You Paid Your Tuition Fees?
After the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, Gao Zhan changed the name of the country to Death, but the generals of Wenchen felt that the name of the country was unknown, and wrote to advise Gao Zhan to change the name of the country. But Gao Zhan still couldn't let go of his heart at that time, and he didn't listen to his opinions in time.
But since ancient times, there has been no shortage of loyal ministers since the founding of the dynasty, so some ministers began to admonish them. Gao Zhan couldn't get around, so he changed the name of the country to business. The Shang Dynasty built its capital in Qiu, known as the imperial capital of Shangqiu.
The ten-mile pavilion outside the south gate of Shangqiu is called the South Pavilion.
Since the south gate of Shangqiu was the main passage to the major cities of the Shang Dynasty, the south pavilion was full of people all year round. Where people pass by, there are naturally rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will inevitably be no shortage of wine shops, teahouses, inns. Therefore, the area around Nanting is also lively like Shangqiu Street.
Nanting, the General's Teahouse.
"Xiao Er, the name of your shop is interesting, do you have any explanation?" Gao Zhan and his party came to the edge of the South Pavilion early, and there was a young man in this group who was out of step with them.
Originally, the guards suggested that Gao Zhan did not need to go out of the palace, and let people directly summon the Taoist priest. Gao Zhan felt that the Taoist priest was a bit interesting, and he shouldn't pay attention to his holy decree, and he didn't like to spend his days quietly in the palace every day.
Even if he was the emperor of the Shang Dynasty who played a role in this billions of territories, he also knew that in other regions that they mortals could not cross, there were cultivators who had entered the heavens and the earth, which was what they called immortals.
He believes that that the poor Taoist may also have the ability to pass through the immortals, and he will not take the worldly imperial power in his eyes.
It turned out that yesterday, Shouzheng's words aroused Gao Zhan's interest, and after returning to the palace, he ordered someone to pass the Shouzheng to the imperial study of the palace. That Shouzheng did not enter the palace alone, he knew what the emperor called him, so before entering the palace, he wanted to explain the situation, and then sincerely invited a little Taoist priest to take him into the palace with him.
"Shouzheng, this is the Taoist you said, who knows better than you the situation of the poor Daoist that day?" Gao Zhan asked, holding a teacup and sitting on a rosewood jade chair.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the Mu Dao man, recently the poor Taoist said that he had a fate, so he accepted his two old hens, let him enter and become his disciples, and gave the Dharma name Mu Yi. Shouzheng said.
"Mu Yi, Mu Dao people, can you tell me who your master is?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know. ”
"Why?"
"I've only seen Shizun once. ”
"Really, then why did he take you as an apprentice?"
"That's true. As for the master's mind, it is difficult to fathom. ”
"Well, you don't know. Then why did you bring two chickens to find the poor man that day, and why were you so fanatical about the poor man that day?"
"There are only two old hens that can be taken out in the next house, and I heard that the poor people need a lot of restraints, and they are also going to try their luck in the next house. Maybe the master took a fancy to the two old hens in my hand. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"After meeting with the master in Xia, Shizun only said one word, and he will be sent away. ”
"What?"
"Well, the chickens are good, the chickens stay. You go back first, and from now on, you will be a disciple of this Dao Master. ”
"Just like that, nothing else? You haven't answered why I'm so fanatical about this Heavenly Poor Daoist?"
"Because the master came from outside the sky?"
"Hurry up!"
"No one knew when the master came, and no one knew when the master left, only that it appeared out of thin air. And the words of the master have never been missed, and the promises made to the destined people have been fulfilled one by one. ”
"When did your master appear in Nanting, and when did you leave, and how many disciples have you accepted in my Nanting so far?"
"I don't know, everyone doesn't know. However, the master mentioned that when the fate is over, he will leave, and there are only two disciples at present. ”
"Who is your senior brother?"
"I don't know..."
“......”
"Then how do you know that your master has appeared?"
"After Shizun appeared in Nanting, everyone who should know knew it. ”
"Someone who should know?"
"Yes, the one who should know. ”
......
Gao Zhan thought about Mu Yi's conversation yesterday, and didn't care that the shopkeeper was talking about his legend.
It turned out that the General's Teahouse was because of when Gao Zhan entered Shangqiu. He drank tea here and later became emperor. The shopkeeper remembered the encounter with Gao Zhan at the teahouse, so he renamed the teahouse to the General Teahouse.
"So, your boss knows His Majesty?"
"It's not just acquaintance, it's a good relationship. I heard that His Majesty was fighting abroad all the year round, and he had no time to take care of his parents, wife and children at home, and the letters to and from home still passed through our boss. ”
Hearing this, the guards immediately stopped the shopkeeper, didn't let him continue, and sent him away.
Gao Zhan actually heard the words of the shopkeeper, but just sighed, took a sip of tea, and asked Mu Yi, "When will your master appear." ”
That young man was Mu Yi, a disciple of the Heavenly Poor Daoist in Nanting.
"Are you the one who should know?"
"I think it should be. ”
"What about me?"
Mu Yi wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing how to answer Gao Zhan's words.
At this time, Gao Zhan's heart moved, and he looked up.
I don't know when there is a Taoist in the pavilion, this person has a fat head and big ears, a small mustache floating, and his small eyes are not sluggish, as if he has never woken up. Tall, with a big belly that is obviously bulging, with his back against the pillar of the South Pavilion, sitting on the ground, holding a broken gourd in his hand, and sending it to his mouth from time to time. He has a bun on his head, his hair behind him is quite neat, he is wearing a pair of dark blue thick cloth shoes, and he is wearing gossip clothes, but the gossip clothes are tattered, and he looks twisted, because the gossip embroidered on him is not the Taoist black and white yin and yang gossip, but is composed of seven colors, but because the body is full of oil, the color is no longer bright, making people feel that this gossip is the random graffiti of the children next door.
There is also a large roast chicken on the ground next to it, which may be one of the ones left by Mu Yi yesterday.
Because of this, it gives people a more unfathomable feeling.
Cultivators are not confined to things, they are not trapped in the narrow, and they take things to wander their minds rather than serve them as immortals.
Gao Zhan looked at the guards around him, and then at Mu Yi, as if they hadn't seen anything.
At this time, Gao Zhan got up and prepared to walk towards the South Pavilion.
Suddenly, smoke and dust rose behind him, and the sound of people shouting and neighing came from a distance, and it came in an instant. The civilians, soldiers and civilians who rushed out of the south gate rushed over like soldiers charging on the battlefield.
Gao Zhan turned around and saw the people who were swarming in, and he was stunned for a while, how did they know that the Heavenly Poor Dao people had appeared.
At the same time, Gao Zhan also saw that in this crowded crowd, some people were unfortunately pushed to the ground by those behind, and some people almost fell under the horseshoe wheels, and a tragedy was about to happen.
But the hooves and wheels of the horses and wheels that passed by them separated the road on their own, knowing that in the case of high-speed movement, it was difficult to change the trajectory in such a way.
But it happened like this, and Gao Zhan understood why these people could rush forward without fear of life and death.
After a short period of distraction, the South Pavilion was surrounded by the people who rushed over, but no one knelt down and worshipped, and no one walked into the pavilion.
Around this south pavilion, there is a lot of people and noisy. But at this moment, they heard the inexplicable words: "Who is that, you have gone up the stairs and paid the tuition?"
