Just after the New Year, Cheng Gongxing, who had been away for nearly a year, returned to Hexi again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time he was no longer alone, not only brought back a like-minded young disciple, but also sent a talent to Hexi.
This young Taoist priest who was only twenty-six years old, named Kou Qianzhi, was a new apprentice of Cheng Gongxing.
The other person is Kou Qian's brother Kou Zan, who was originally the county commander of the former Qin, and when the former Qin collapsed, he abandoned his official position and returned home.
Just as he decided to accept the Later Qin conscription, Cheng Gongxing arrived, disrupting his original plan, and had to come to Hexi with his brother.
Although Kou Qianzhi grew up in an official family, he had no intention of being an official, and only devoted himself to Taoism.
Shanggu Kou's family was originally a religious family, even though Kou Qian's family had moved to Feng Yi for many years, the family still followed the Five Buckets Rice Sect.
His greatest pleasure every day is to study Taoism from the only Taoist tools and Taoist books at home, hoping that one day he can obtain the spiritual effect of the Immortal Dao.
Unfortunately, after several years, due to the lack of guidance from famous teachers, his Taoism has not improved significantly.
Until one day Cheng Gongxing arrived, he convinced Kou Qianzhi with his profound Taoist knowledge and profound arithmetic, and immediately worshipped him as a teacher.
Soon after Kou Qianzhi received the Tao, Cheng Gongxing said to him: "If you want to succeed in Taoism, you must go to Hexi to practice with your teacher." ”
As long as he can learn the Dao Technique, even Kou Qianzhi of Shangdao Mountain is not afraid, so he readily agrees.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he proposed to go to Hexi, he was unanimously opposed by his family.
At present, the war is in chaos, and the family is not worried that Kou Qian is going out to study.
Later, Kou Qianzhi had no choice but to invite Cheng Gongxing, who knew that Cheng Gongxing not only persuaded the Kou family to agree to him to go to Hexi, but also brought his brother Kou Zan with him.
In this way, the three of them traveled all the way through mountains and rivers and went through a lot of hardships to come to Guzang.
Standing under Guzang City, the three of them had different thoughts, among which Cheng Gongxing was naturally full of ambition and planned to do a big job and unify the Daomen with the help of Hexi.
And Kou Qianzhi is not only curious about Hexi, but also curious about Daduhu, who is willing to support the development of Taoism.
Among the three, Kou Zan's mood is relatively complicated.
To be honest, he didn't want to come to Hexi at first, even if Cheng Gongxing praised Wei Shuo as rare in the sky and nothing on the earth, he was not very willing.
He always believed that Hexi was too remote and not the foundation for achieving great things.
Unexpectedly, the battle of Shuo Fang made Kou Zan completely change his attitude, and he was also full of curiosity about the wise and martial Wei Dadu in Cheng Gongxing's mouth.
Cheng Gongxing rushed to the Duhu Mansion with his apprentice and Kou Zanxing, and was about to walk inside, but he ran into Kang Long, the leader of the guards.
He deliberately stood in the middle of the road, and joked: "Ahem, isn't this the Kangda guard?" You look like you're in a hurry, why are you going? ”
Kang Long, who was hurrying away, was stopped by someone, and couldn't help but be startled, and took a step back suddenly.
He looked up with a sullen face, and just saw Cheng Gongxing smiling and standing opposite.
Dengshi's face showed joy, and he slapped his head with his big hand, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Ah, isn't this the Taoist chief?" Why are you back? ”
"What? Can't the poor road come back? ”
"Hey, I didn't mean that! A few days ago, the lord was still muttering about you, saying that you want Hu Lu to convert to Taoism, but I can't understand it anyway. ”
Cheng Gongxing's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Are most of them protected?" ”
"In, in, I'm discussing with Song Changshi. Go in on your own, there's still something to do. ”
"Okay, okay, you can get busy."
Next to him, Kou Zan stared at Kang Long's figure, and said in surprise: "What a big man." ”
"Hehe, this was originally just a wrestler under the account of King Qiuzi, but he was only obtained by Dadu Hu because he lost to Dadu Hu in the competition."
"Unexpectedly, under the training of Dadu Protector, he has become a good player on the battlefield, and now his name has already shocked the northwest."
"It can be seen that most of the guards not only love and cherish talents, but also have the ability to recognize and employ people, and promote talents without sticking to one pattern."
"Besides, Cui Hao, it has only been a year since he was cast under the Dadu Protectorate, and now he is already in the position of assassin."
"It can be said that you don't need to worry about your talent being buried in Hexi, as long as you have the ability, sooner or later you will be protected and used by most of the capital."
……
Wei Shuo was discussing with Song Xuan, and suddenly received a report from the guard, saying that Cheng Gongxing had returned, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Just after the New Year, the whole of Hexi put all their energy on rectifying Shuofang, whether it was setting up a state county or breaking up and mixing Zhuhu, all in order to completely control Shuofang.
The only thing Wei Shuo regretted was that the Reformation had not progressed for a long time.
Buddhism is close at hand but is unwilling to be used by him, Taoism intends to cooperate, but Cheng Gongxing is gone forever.
If the religion cannot be successfully introduced, it will greatly affect the naturalization of the Hu people.
In his plan, he will corrupt the upper echelons of Hulu with fame and fortune, and control ordinary herdsmen with culture and religion.
After his political affairs were properly arranged, Wei Shuo hurriedly asked Cheng Gongxing to come in.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." As soon as he came up, Wei Shuo apologized to Cheng Gongxing.
"It's okay, it's okay, most of the people are busy with official business, and they don't dare to delay their business." Cheng Gongxing didn't care about this.
"Today, the Taoist leader came with a red light on his face, and he must be fully prepared for the reform."
"Hahaha, most of them are really smart, and they can be guessed at the right time."
"This time, Poor Dao brought back an apprentice from Guanzhong, who was born in a Taoist family and is very familiar with various Taoist classics."
"With his help, Poor Dao has more confidence in the reform."
"I can be valued by the Taoist, but I don't think it's an ordinary talent, I don't know where he is now? Why don't you come and let Shuo have a look? ”
"This person's name is Kou Qianzhi, he is a person from Feng Yi in Guanzhong, his ancestral home is Shanggu, and his family has believed in the Five Doumi Sect for generations."
As soon as Cheng Gongxing's words fell, he saw a young Taoist priest, led by the guards, enter the room.
Wei Shuo raised his eyes and found that the person who came was really extraordinary, probably because of his long-term cultivation, and Zhou's body was filled with a dusty aura.
"Poor Dao Kou Qianzhi, please meet Dadu Hu." Kou Qianzhi made a mockery to Wei Shuo.
"The Taoist chief doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly."
Wei Shuo looked Kou Qianzhi up and down, then turned his head and praised Cheng Gongxing: "Well, this son is really extraordinary, you have a good vision of Chengdao." ”
Listening to Wei Shuo's admiration, Cheng Gongxing was very happy.
This apprentice of his is very talented in cultivation, and he will definitely surpass him in his future achievements.
Next, Wei Shuo explained in detail to Cheng Gongxing and Kou Qianzhi's masters and apprentices why they wanted to reform Taoism, and also described the future prosperity of Taoism to the two.
After hearing this, Cheng Gongxing and Kou Qian were all stunned by Wei Shuo's ambition to make the world Hulu for Xia Min, and at the same time, they also felt that there was a heavy burden that would be on the shoulders of the two of them.
"Whether the disputes between various ethnic groups can be eliminated in the future and the world can be brightened, but it all depends on the two Taoist leaders, I hope the two will not let Shuo down."
"Daduhu, you...... You ......" Cheng Gongxing didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to smile bitterly.
"You just have to do it boldly and boldly, and everything has its own support for you." Wei Shuo continued to encourage.
"That's it, that's it, in order to revive Taoism, poor Taoism is fighting."
Seeing that the business was over, Cheng Gongxing had no time to recommend Kou Zan to Wei Shuo.
When Wei Shuo heard that another talent had come, he couldn't help but complain: "Dao Chief, this is yours, isn't it, how can you let the talent wait for so long in vain?" ”
"If it spreads, the outside world should say that Shuo is slacking off talents, who will be willing to come to Hexi in the future?"
Hearing this, Cheng Gongxing didn't say anything, but Kou Qianzhi's eyes lit up next to him, and he felt that Wei Shuo was really as the master said, cherishing and attaching importance to talents, so it was not in vain that his brother came thousands of miles to defect.
When Kou Zan came in, that calm demeanor alone was enough to attract Wei Shuo's attention.
After the two had a conversation, Wei Shuo admired Kou Zan more and more, the other party was worthy of being born in a family of eunuchs, and his talents and abilities were extraordinary.
"Fengguo, originally you just came to Hexi, you should have let you rest first before arranging things. But now Shuozhou is new, and it is the time to employ people, and Cui Tingshi has asked for people from the Protectorate several times, so Shuo has no choice but to let you go to Shuozhou hard. ”
"The lord's words are wrong, praise has entered the west of the river, and he should be worried about the lord, why do you have to say that it is hard?"
"I am willing to go to Shuofang immediately to assist Lord Assassin."
"Okay, Fengguo is worthy of being a great talent, and when he returns after his success in the future, Shuo will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you."
