After finishing the pulse, before Li Daoren could speak, Wang Shen said: "Dao Chief, don't use the medicine to clear the fire, I don't like to eat it." ”

Li Daochang smiled: "Xianggong has a strong blood, but recently he has been worried and troubled, so that his liver is hot. In fact, it's okay not to take medicine, just eat more fruits and vegetables. ”

Li Daochang finally followed Wang Shen to Dingzhou, and planned to go to Anlu with him.

Wang Shen promised Li Daoren that after arriving in Anlu, he would build a small temple in the mansion and let him be the abbot.

This is already quite the same as the family temple of the Xiangjia, Wang Shen is one step away from being a prince, and now he occupies the land of the five states of Jianghan and is already a de facto feudal prince. Li Daoren naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

For the time being, he is still the head of a group of military doctors in the army.

Wang Shen smiled: "I like to hear this." ”

Li Daoren packed up his things and was about to leave, Wang Shen stopped him and asked, "Dao Chief, how is the little sister now?" ”

"The military envoy is still like that, except for his weak body, there is no danger."

Wang Shen pondered for a moment: "According to a certain person, the younger sister is deeply affected by the heresy of the Manichi Demon Sect. I want to give her to General Niu Gao again, you also know that Niu Boyuan is valued by a certain person, and he will also be the general of our army in the future. If it affects General Niu because of this, it is not beautiful. The Taoist often meets with her, and he is a moral person who is well-versed in Taoism, but he can exert influence. ”

Yes, there is no need to say how terrible things are about cults. If the little sister's belief affects Niu Gao, and then affects the sergeant, then the trouble will be big.

Li Daoren didn't understand the meaning of Wang Shen's words, and said with a smile: "The military envoy doesn't have to worry, General Niu is a scholar, and the teachings of Manichaeism are inherently in conflict with Confucianism, and even incompatible." With the strong character of General Niu Gao, how can he be confused by that absurd doctrine. As for the younger sister, she is still young and her mind is not yet mature, and it is not impossible to change her mind when she is confused by the demon sect. ”

Wang Shen was happy in his heart, Yang Ximei occupies a very important position in his future plans, if he can change the three views of this little girl, it is a good thing: "Yes, yes, yes, I know some of the teachings of Manichaeism, but in fact, it is still very rough, it is nothing more than using the heaven after death to tempt the disciples, how can it be compared to the Taoist immortal art, Lu Shenxian is attractive." ”

Li Daochang shook his head: "The military envoy is wrong, my Taoism is just a method of cultivation, an attitude of being a person and doing things, and it does not require the foolish loyalty of believers like other sects." ”

Wang Shen: "Go on." ”

Li Daochang: "Yes, Taoism pursues longevity, but ordinary people don't also seek to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives; Taoists want to see the palace of the cave, to live a comfortable life, and to pursue it like ordinary people. Taoist alchemy and medicine, don't ordinary people also find Lang Zhong to prescribe prescriptions based on his pulse? Therefore, the pursuit of my Taoism is completely consistent with the pursuit of ordinary people. ”

"Other sects should respect the only god, worship him, that is the religion of God, and my Taoism is the religion of man. In the early Taoist classics, the Yellow Emperor, Peng Zu, Bao Puzi, and Lao Tzu used to be seekers and enlightened people, ordinary people, not almighty gods. ”

"Taoism focuses on self-training and enlightenment, rather than pinning all hopes on the ethereal gods. Only the cultivation of the self and the strength of the self can get rid of the vanity of superstition. In my Taoist opinion, Mani and the so-called Mingzun do not stand up to scrutiny and ridiculousness. ”

In the end, Daoist Li smiled and said, "Poor Dao and my sister have also talked a lot together, and they have discussed cultivation. It can be seen that the little sister is a person with understanding, just like a pearl in the dust. As long as I analyze the teachings of my Taoism one by one, and compare them with the classics of Mingjiao, she will naturally be able to distinguish what is superstition and what is the Great Dao. In the future, Yang Ximei may not be able to become a moral person. ”

Wang Shen was happy in his heart and at the same time, he was shocked: "Dao Chief, the younger sister is a certain to General Niu Gao, if you make her a sister-in-law, how can you get it?" ”

Taoist Li: "Becoming a monk at home is nothing more than a way of cultivation, but in fact, there is no difference. Even if the younger sister wants to become a monk, the poor Dao still doesn't dare to accept this apprentice, and the iron shovel in General Niu's hand can't spare the Taoist. ”

Wang Shen laughed: "Yes, yes." ”

*****************************************************

"To Ruochun and Jingming, the waves are not alarmed, the sky is up and down, and there is a blue sky; Sand gulls fly and gather, brocade scales swim; Shore Zhi Tinglan, lush green. And or the long smoke is empty, the moon is thousands of miles, the floating light is golden, the still shadow is sinking, and the fishing songs answer each other, what a joy is this! ”

Although it is late autumn, the weather today is excellent.

The reflection of white clouds moves quickly on the vast and calm waters of Dongting Lake. If you look closely, the water of the lake is so clear that you can look directly at the bottom of the water, and the whole boat seems to be suspended in mid-air.

At this moment, Wang Shen rode a war horse and stared at the lake in front of him, dressed in a Confucian robe, holding a folding fan, between opening and closing, there was a breeze coming slowly, looking so leisurely.

Unlike him, there were five heavily armed armor warriors on horseback, all staring at the horizon in the distance.

These five people are all first-class warriors in the army, and it is Yue Yun and Niu Gao who lead the team.

Both men were wrapped in steel, and had a large axe in their hands, iron shovels and bones hanging from their waists, and stiff bows on their backs.

Others were better, but Yue Yun had an awe-inspiring face, and there were green tendons on the back of his hand holding the axe.

The war horse snorted slightly under his seat, looking impatient.

Wang Shen smiled: "Ying Xiang, relax, relax, it's not a big deal." ”

Yue Yun said: "The military envoy, the demon surnamed Yang is notorious, but he cannot be trusted. This time, when you meet him alone on the water, you must beware of this thief taking risks. ”

Next to him, Niu Gao shook his head: "Ying Xiang, my brother is not Zhong Xiang, he is the most trustworthy, he is a bold man, he promised to meet with the military envoy, he will definitely not have evil intentions." ”

"Brother Brother, you are calling affectionately. What, recognize this cheap brother-in-law? Yue Yun sarcastically mocked Niu Gao: "Mingjiao demons, don't be trusted." If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't bear the delicate beauty that day, how could you let Yang Mi escape, and why did you have today's big trouble? ”

Niu Gao sighed: "Ying Xiang, you say me again, let's scold if you want to, since Lao Niu did something wrong that day, he has to admit it." ”

That's right, Wang Shen came to the lake today to meet Yang Mi.

Judging from the current situation, although the upper echelons of Manichaeism were completely eradicated by him. However, it was a huge trouble to leave Yang Mi.

In the past, because Yang Qi was jealous of Zhong Ziang, he was subject to a lot of constraints on weekdays. Now, he is independent, without the restraint of anyone, and all his talents are vividly displayed. In a few years, the momentum of Manichaeism will be stronger than in the Zhong Xiang era, so strong that national heroes like Li Gang will be defeated and lost, and so strong that the military god Yue Fei will also feel a big headache.

For example, in the former Manichaeism, Zhong Xiang was equivalent to Hong Xiuquan during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, that is, an ornament. And Yang Mi is Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East with outstanding talent and great prestige. The most troublesome thing now is that this Yang Xiuqing of the Song Dynasty has not been restrained by Hong Xiuquan, and has been thoroughly supported by the disciples and the army.

Wang Shen was busy returning to his hometown to extinguish the fire, and he had no mind to entangle with Yang Mi in Hunan. Moreover, he was also worried that once he was on the front line with the Jurchens, Khitan, Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, and Li Cheng, the Manichaeans would suddenly go to Jianghan to make trouble.

The so-called politics is to make fewer enemies and more friends.

Mani was indeed a vicious enemy, but now it is not the main contradiction.

In fact, Wang Shen had already thought about making peace with Yang Mi before coming to Dingzhou, so he decided to wait in Dingzhou for two days. If Yang Mi's problem is not solved, how can he go back with confidence.

For this reason, he took the initiative to ask Yang Ximei to ask her to contact Yang Mi, and everyone met each other on the basis of discussing the marriage between Niu Gao and Ximei.

For his own safety, Wang Shen is not worried. As far as he knew, the younger sister was Yang Mi's only relative in the world. For her sake, Yang Mi even missed a good opportunity to escape when Lianyun Village was broken.

As long as there is this hostage in hand, Yang Mi will not act rashly.

Sure enough, as he expected, the younger sister quickly contacted Yang Mi, and the two parties agreed to meet by the lake today. Yang Mi proposed that Wang Shen could only come with five guards, and he was not allowed to bring troops, otherwise everyone would have nothing to say.

Wang Shen saw Yue Yun and Niu Gao arguing, and sighed: "What happened that day, General Niu Gao didn't want to, he has already been punished by military law, don't mention it again in the past." However, after this incident, it can be seen that General Niu Boyuan is an upright person with a pure heart. The key to being a man is to have a heart of forgiveness, and General Niu is very pleased to do this. ”

Niu Gao's eyes were slightly red: "The last general is guilty and can't afford it." ”

At this time, a soldier behind him shouted: "There is a situation, be alert!" ”

The three stopped talking and stared intently. But I saw that a long sail shadow suddenly rose on the horizontal line in the distance.

Then the sails rose higher and higher, and at last about five or six galleons leaped out of the water and carried more than twenty sampans at a high speed.

Then all the boats were full of soldiers with weapons, and there were at least a thousand of them in total.

Everyone around Wang Shen is the same, and there is a huge disparity between the strength and weakness of the enemy and us, and it is on the water. If Yang Mi has bad intentions, the problem will be serious.

Unconsciously, everyone was sweating on their foreheads and short of breath.

In another moment, more than 20 small boats were moving extremely fast, and they kept circling around the water in front of Wang Shen and the others.

Yue Yun and the others had already picked up the bow, pulled out a round and pointed over, and he sneered in his mouth: "What a big battle!" ”

Unlike his subordinates, who were facing the enemy, Wang Shen let out a long roar with his hands behind his back: "Mrs. Yang is really a character, I can't imagine that after the battle of Lianyuanzhai, so many people and horses have gathered in just ten days?" It's Wang Shen, since you've arrived, why don't you come out to meet, are you Manichaeism full of hidden people? ”[.]
