Chapter Twenty-Five: Single-mindedness

Chapter 25 One heart to the Tao

Qingle Mountain, located in the southeast of the Great Sui, cross the Yangtze River and then go south for 320 miles, rolling and undulating, although not majestic and magnificent, but it is a first-class scenic beauty. The eastern frontier of the Great Sui is more than 10,000 miles along the coast, and the only place near the sea that is not under the jurisdiction of the Great Sui is Eastern Chu, but Eastern Chu is in the northeast of the Great Sui and is a peninsula extending from the mainland, and the area is not as large as the Gyeonggi Province of the Great Sui.

Qingle Mountain is located in the south of the eastern Xinjiang of the Great Sui, and it is a place with good scenery in all seasons.

Although this Qingle Mountain is not big, far less than the Wolf Milk Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, and Yanshan Mountains, its reputation is not inferior to the previous mountains.

There is no other reason, just because there is a gas concept on Qingle Mountain, and there is Xiao Zhenren in the air view.

The Great Sui Emperor was arrogant, and the emperors of all dynasties were like this, and he could not tolerate any country in the world that had a large Sui, and this greed was also the reason why the Great Sui was still vigorous and vigorous since the founding of the country. Every emperor of the Great Sui had ambitions, and the Great Sui that had something elsewhere had it, and the Great Sui that didn't have elsewhere had to have it.

The Mengyuan Empire had a big snow mountain and a big wheel temple, and the Great Sui held up the Qingle Mountain.

There is a big wheel of Ming King on the Great Snow Mountain, and there is Xiao Zhenren in the One Qi Temple.

Buddhism emphasizes no desire and no desire, but there is no doubt that he looks down on the Taoist sect of the Great Sui from the bottom of his heart. After all, in this world, except for the Great Sui, everyone believes in Buddhism. Even in the Great Sui, as long as the people of the Buddhist sect report to the government, they can also build temples and preach, but there is no doubt that the people of the Great Sui have no respect for the Buddha, and the reason why the Great Sui court has this generosity is because of the emperor's greed.

What is available elsewhere, the Great Sui naturally has to have it.

One gas view is built in the middle of the mountainside, there is only one stone step path from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, a total of 2,999 steps, and then take a step into the mountain gate, take the meaning of three thousand avenues. On both sides of the stone steps, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are mountain peach trees, and the fruit of this tree is not delicious, but it has a unique flavor when you taste it carefully. Over the years, it has been a myth that the peach trees are all over the mountain overnight, the peach blossoms bloom overnight, and the peaches are ripe overnight, but in fact, where are the peaches, but it is just a gimmick to deceive people.

The One Qi Concept is actually not very big, counting from the Guan Lord Xiao Zhenren, counting the last generation of disciples, there are only 800 people in total. This number also has a meaning. Yiqiguan is known as the orthodoxy of Taoism in the world, and it is also known that the wonderful arts in the world are all out here. But people's hearts are different. Therefore, the eight hundred disciples are also called the eight hundred paths, and they are out of orthodoxy and cultivate their own ways, so they are also called side doors.

Eight hundred on the side door, three thousand on the left...... All out of the same breath.

When the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty came here, he knew the meaning of these ways and then laughed and praised the good spirit of Qingle Mountain, and the left side door was also orthodox.

Although spring warms up early in Jiangnan, the peach blossoms are still far from blooming. The branches spit out new green, and when I looked at the young shoots, I even wanted to pinch a piece and chew it in my mouth.

Along the stone steps, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked up slowly, this person couldn't tell how old he was, his temperament was mature, and his face was quite delicate. There is a slightly bluish beard stubble on the chin, but it doesn't look sloppy at all. Medium stature, not fat or thin, walking at a small pace, decent.

In the Great Sui, anyone who wears brocade clothes must have merit and fame. Ordinary people, even if they have a lot of money, can't wear brocade clothes. This is the court etiquette system, and if you exceed it, you will be imprisoned for questioning.

The middle-aged man was smiling and kind, enjoying the mountain scenery while walking, but when he saw a few words inscribed on a big rock on the side of the road, he immediately stopped, and then solemnly bowed.

"It was the ink treasure left by His Majesty when he went to Qingle Mountain to play three years ago, and he wanted to move it to the main hall, but His Majesty said that he saw this stone here, and wrote a few words on the stone, so it was placed here, why move it? If it is spiritual, wouldn't it be a great sin to disturb its practice? ”

The one who spoke was an old man in a black robe, about fifty years old, with three strands of long hair, a whisk in his hand, cloth clothes and shoes, and he looked quite fairy-like. It's just that this person's face is not very good, with triangular eyes and broom eyebrows, the more carefully you look at it, the more obscene it smells.

But his identity is there, so no one will really judge people by their appearance.

He is the master of this Qingle Mountain, Xiao Zhenren.

"So the real person built a pavilion here to shelter this stone from the wind and rain?"

The man in brocade asked with a smile.

"Scattered gold...... You donated hundreds of thousands of gold to repair an entire city wall for Chang'an, and your Majesty was rewarded heavily. I built a pavilion for this stone, in fact, it is the same as your intention to build a city wall, which is nothing more than a pat on the back. ”

There is only one scattered gold candidate in the Great Sui, and that is Wu Yiyi, who is known as the richest man in the Great Sui. It is said that his wealth is enough to buy a mountain and river in the Great Sui. It is necessary to know that tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Great Sui are divided into 24 roads and a mountain and river...... It is already larger than the territory of the Eastern Chu State.

Wu Yiyi laughed: "I am an ordinary man, so I naturally have to do flattery and sycophancy." But you're a cultivator, ......"

"A cultivator is also a human being."

Xiao Zhenren smiled and said, "Cultivators also want to eat, and they also want to make their lives better." The ink treasure under His Majesty is left in the mountain, and how many good guests can be attracted to the view of the incense and gold are naturally understood. ”

"Philistine!"

Wu Yiyi said with a smile.

"I want to be a little more philistine."

Xiao Zhenren stopped, looked at Wu Yiyi and asked seriously: "The richest man in the world has reached the level of one breath, don't you donate some incense money?" ”

Wu Yi beckoned, and the entourage that followed immediately stepped forward and handed Xiao Zhenren a rosewood box in his hand, and the little disciple behind Xiao Zhenren hurriedly took it, only feeling that the box was not heavy, so it was inevitable that there was a little contempt between his eyebrows. The heart said that the silver donated by ordinary rich and noble people on the mountain is much more valuable than this box, and the richest man in the world is so stingy, it is really better to be famous when they meet.

"Xiao Zhenren opens his mouth, it is worth ten thousand gold."

Wu Yi smiled: "The silver tickets in this box can be exchanged in any money bank in the Great Sui, and there will be no less than a cent." However, the smaller ones are afraid that they will not be able to redeem this lot of silver. ”

"Connecting the world."

Xiao Zhenren praised sincerely: "Compared with repairing the entire city wall of Chang'an City, this is the real big deal." ”

……

……

Xiao Zhenren, who returned to his room, and Xiao Zhenren in front of outsiders seemed to be a different person. After settling down Wu Yiyi, the richest man in the Great Sui, Xiao Zhenren, who had taken him to half the mountain, threw himself on the bed, rubbed his sore old waist and couldn't help sighing.

"If it weren't for the 10,000 taels of gold, why would I have to be with a smiling face for so long. The flesh on his face was a little stiff with a smile, and he didn't know if the old bustard in the Qinglou of Lu Dao laughed all day long, and there was some unique secret book for practicing his mouth. ”

A little Taoist boy took off his shoes for him, climbed onto the bed with his hands and feet and pounded on Xiao Zhenren's back: "You are already a world-famous Taoist leader, why do you need to work so hard for a few copper smells?" If it is rumored that it will go, the people under the mountain, and even the people of the Great Sui, will not laugh at you? ”

"You know!"

Xiao Zhenren knocked on the door of Xiaodaotong's head with his hand: "Do you like to eat meat!" ”

"Love to eat!"

"Where does the meat come from?"

"I'm waiting for the butcher to bring it up at the bottom of the mountain."

"Was it given for free?"

"Of course not, of course you have to give silver."

"If I don't go to entertain those high-ranking officials and nobles, with the incense money sent by those people under the mountain, do you still want to eat meat?!"

Xiao Zhenren snorted coldly and said: "If you want to eat meat, you have to have the ability to earn money to buy meat, can you eat meat all at once, or I want to come with a smile and a cheeky face?" If you don't know what to do, I will punish you to go to the back mountain garden to grow vegetables. I only give you green vegetables and tofu every day, and I see if you still say such cool words. ”

"But you're also the leader of the Great Sui Dao System......"

"Leader's fart!"

Xiao Zhenren: "If it weren't for His Majesty's competitiveness, wouldn't you follow me through the streets and alleys to tell fortunes?" You followed me a little late, you go and ask a few of your senior brothers, who hasn't cheated the people's money? Who didn't tell a lie with a clear conscience for a few dozen copper coins? Those rich people can give a few more money as long as they are happy, so they naturally have to pick good ones. This aura has only been built for ten years, isn't it because I deceived His Majesty that Qingle Mountain should be the place where the Great Sui Sect is prosperous? ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Daotong was taken aback, and couldn't help asking, "Why haven't I heard you mention this?" ”

"It's not a long-faced thing, say what it does. Go and pour a glass of water for the teacher to drink. ”

Xiao Zhenren sat up, took off his socks and rubbed his sore feet, and then inserted his index finger into the gap between his toes and rubbed it back and forth, and the expression on his face immediately became extremely exciting. Looking at him like that, it's simply that rubbing his toes is the first enjoyment in the world. The way he looks at this time, where is the demeanor of the leader of the world's Dao system.

At this time, someone outside suddenly asked softly, "Is there a real person?" ”

Xiao Zhenren was taken aback, hurriedly put on his socks and shoes, tidied up his clothes and said: "Poor Dao is reading the Tao Te Ching and has some experience, and I want to tell Sanjin Hou that you are here, please come in." ”

Wu Yi walked in with a smile, and then frowned: "The taste of this Tao Te Ching seems to be a little special. ”

Xiao Zhenren smiled wryly, waved and ordered Xiaodao Tong to serve tea.

Wu Yi stood aside and looked at the landscape paintings on the wall, and after Xiao Daotong left, he suddenly turned around and solemnly saluted Xiao Zhenren. Xiao Zhenren hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said with a smile: "Sanjin Hou donated a lot of incense money, I haven't thanked it yet, why did Sanjin Hou give a gift first?" ”

"Don't hide it from the real person, Wu went up the mountain this time to ask for something."

"Scattered gold, please say, but whatever the poor road can do, he will definitely not refuse."

Wu Yi got up, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll say it directly, and I won't make any detours...... There is a daughter in the family...... I have reached the age of marriage, and I heard from the people in the palace a while ago that His Majesty remembered my contribution to repairing the city wall of Chang'an City, and planned to summon the little girl into the palace as a concubine, and the little girl ...... The little woman is rude, I'm afraid that if I really enter the palace, I will annoy Your Majesty and cause trouble, so I want to invite ......"

"Take your daughter as a disciple?"

Xiao Zhenren frowned and said, "But the disciples of the Dao Sect can be married......

"It's okay, I just said that the little girl is dedicated to the Tao, and she swears that if she doesn't cultivate to be successful, she won't go down to Qingle Mountain, and her majesty will go down there, and it's always hard to be too anxious. Besides, although the little girl's qualifications are mediocre, I have found someone to test it, and she has one hundred and twenty-eight acupuncture points in the sea of qi...... But there were one hundred and twenty-two places. ”

"Take!"

Xiao Zhenren nodded almost without hesitation: "If Your Majesty asks, Poor Dao will naturally think of an explanation." ”

"Thank you!"

Wu Yiyi was excited, and gave Xiao Zhenren another salute.

"It's just...... The days in the mountains are bitter and cold, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt to love. ”

Xiao Zhenren sighed and said.

"I'll donate another 5,000 gold."

Wu Yiyi took out a stack of silver tickets from his cuffs and put them on the table: "The little girl's three years of eating and drinking, I'm afraid these are barely enough." ”

"Since Ling Ai is so sincere, how can the poor road close the door of the avenue?"

"If Your Majesty asks about ......?"

Xiao Zhenren waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not like I haven't deceived His Majesty ......."

At this time, a group of six people came down from Qingle Mountain. Four men and two women, dusty and dusty.

Among the six people, a strong man who was more than two meters tall was particularly blinking, and he was holding a half-door knife-sized knife behind his back, and the cold light was chilling. At the front was a man in black, with no weapons on his body, his face was gloomy, and he looked at the stone steps of the mountain gate in a daze.

There was also an old man with a pair of copper cymbals hanging from his waist.

A balding sturdy man with an iron rod in his hand.

The two women, one unarmed, the other with a sword in her arms.

"This is the Qingle Mountain One Qi Temple?"

The strong man with the sound of the urn couldn't help but ask: "That Xiao Zhenren is famous all over the world, and he is the leader of the Great Sui Daomen, and he doesn't know the Tao elsewhere, but in the Great Sui, he is a figure who can be compared with the Great Wheel Ming King...... Let's just take the liberty of coming to the door, will he take us in? ”

The corner of the cold woman holding the sword picked at the corner of her mouth: "If he doesn't take him in, I will kill one of his disciples a day." Eight hundred disciples in one breath will also be killed for a while. ”

"Don't."

The beautiful woman in a long black dress shook her head and slowly knelt down in front of the stone steps: "I sincerely say to you, how could Xiao Zhenren not accept me?" If you can enter the mountain gate, you don't need to fight every day. I'm here to beg without your interference. ”
