Chapter 9 Preparation with both hands

After everyone ate the dinner without knowing the taste, after returning to the residence, at the suggestion of Wang Kunjun, they would rest for one night first, give everyone enough time to think about it, and then discuss it the next day.

After breakfast the next day, all the members of the team gathered in the courtyard across the courtyard and sat in a circle. Wang Kunjun cleared his throat and said, "Everyone has been thinking about it all night, let's talk about what you think of Zhong Yuanwai's proposal yesterday." ”

"Do you use shaved heads when you are a Taoist?" After a moment of silence in the courtyard, Hu Xueying, the youngest member of the team, asked. She is Liang Ziyue's girlfriend, who has just graduated from college and has no job yet. Her questioning was obviously also of concern to the other two ladies, after all, although these beauties were very avant-garde, it was estimated that they would be resolutely opposed to shaving their heads.

"Taoism, as a native religion in China, still respects the ancient adage of 'the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it should not be lightly damaged', so Taoist priests do not need to shave their heads." Zhang Weixin explained.

"Oh!" The three ladies and a few men who didn't know much about it nodded their heads in understanding.

"Then I don't have a problem." Hu Xueying said simply, and then snuggled on Liang Ziyue's shoulder and didn't speak, it seems that she gave the final decision to her lover. The beauty who has the same idea is estimated to be the fashion designer Zhu Xiaoyuan, who is Zhao Dawei's wife. In such an era of uncertain future and male supremacy, it can be said that it is the happiest thing to have one of your most trusted people to rely on. Hong Yan, an assistant accountant who is also a lady, is the only one of the three ladies alone, and I really don't know how she will feel at this time.

"Can a Taoist priest get married? Will that Taoist master teach everyone martial arts? Wang Feng, a handsome guy who thinks he looks better than Pan An and has strong martial arts, asked.

"As for whether you can get married, this is not necessarily, different denominations have different requirements. There are not so many Taoist sects now, and the great development of Taoism still began in the Song and Yuan dynasties. So I really don't know what the specific regulations of Taoism are now. However, it is only an expedient measure for us to become a Taoist priest this time, not a real monk, so we don't need to think too much about these issues. Zhang Weixin patiently explained.

"That's right, all the handsome guys and beauties don't have to worry about these things, after all, as Zhong Yuanwai said, we are temporarily living in this Taoist temple, not really going to be Taoist priests for a lifetime. After a while, our hair will grow long, we will be used to wearing the clothes of this era, we will no longer be so maverick in speaking and doing things, and we will get legal status through Zhong Yuanwai or other ways, and we will no longer need to be Taoist priests. Wang Kunjun comforted on the side.

It is estimated that Wang Kunjun's words really touched the hearts of everyone, and after a warm and harmonious discussion, everyone voted in favor of the subsequent "Unsolicited Vote on Whether Team Members Agree to Enter the Yuxu Palace as Taoist Priests in the Near Future". Seeing that this important event had a successful result, everyone was very happy, and they got together in groups and chatted. Wang Kunjun called the other two members of the three-person leading group, Zhang Weixin and Zeng Zhilin, to his room, and prepared to discuss the details with the two of them.

Entering the house, they each sat down, and Wang Kunjun spoke first. He said in a low voice: "Although the matter of becoming a Taoist priest has been decided, it does not mean that our survival in this era is guaranteed. This can only be regarded as a stopgap measure, and must not be regarded as a long-term plan. Besides, I always feel that I am not very steady, and I always feel that he has a plan. I can't tell you what he was trying to do with us, but the feeling of unhappiness has always been there. Yesterday I promised him to consider his suggestion, which was also a helpless choice, after all, the first thing we need to solve now is the current survival problem. ”

Zhang and Zeng nodded their heads again and again, expressing their approval of him. Zhang Weixin thought for a while and said, "Although I don't know what he wants, at least one thing is certain, that is, he would never have imagined that we came here more than a thousand years later." It's easier to do that way. I guess he probably thinks that we have a strange appearance, and may have some special skills, and maybe he wants to recruit us for his use, or recommend others for the merit of recommendation. Some ancients still believed in the saying 'If a person has a strange image, he must have a strange ability'. Besides, we still have some real materials, at least we have far more knowledge than people of this era. ”

Zeng Zhilin shook his head and retorted thoughtfully: "Not really, isn't there an old saying that 'if something is unusual, it must be a demon'?" When the bell man saw us so strange, he probably thought that we were not ordinary people, but maybe some kind of demon or monster. I'm afraid that we will be demons, so I don't dare to do anything to us here. Instead, he took the opportunity to lure us into the Taoist temple, hoping that the Taoist priest would use magic to restrain us, and then attract officers and soldiers to wipe us out. It seems that although Zeng Zhilin voted in favor, he still has concerns about Zhong Yuanwai's intentions.

"Uh......", Zeng Zhilin was able to explain this matter like this, which made Wang and Zhang quite stunned. The two of them really didn't know how to refute his idea. After all, most people in this era are still superstitious, and it is not completely impossible to have this idea. However, this statement is a bit bizarre and incomprehensible to the two atheists.

After a slight pause, Wang Kunjun opened his mouth first, and he said with careful consideration: "Dazhi's statement is not completely impossible, but judging from my observation of Zhong Yuanwai, he should not treat us as demons and monsters." Of course, whether he is bad for us or not, we should be vigilant. You can't have the heart to hurt others, but you can't do without the heart to defend people. I don't think we should do this, we have to go to the Taoist temple, but we also have to take precautions. When it's time to really go, Dazhi, you and Xiaofeng, plus Liang Ziyue, pay more attention. If there is anything abnormal, the two of you will be responsible for blocking it, and Ziyue will be responsible for opening the way and covering everyone to hide in the mountains. The good thing here is that there are many mountains, and as long as you can enter the mountains, there are more opportunities. It's just that you and Xiaofeng will have to take a lot of risks, so if you don't agree, it's okay, let's think of another way. ”,

Although he has been retired for a while, as a former armed police special policeman, Zeng Zhilin's idea of protecting others has obviously not diminished slightly. Hearing that Wang Kunjun was a little distrustful of him, he stood up, patted his chest and said excitedly: "Cuijun, don't worry, I, Zeng Zhilin, am by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, for everyone's safety, I will give up more than 100 catties." ”

Seeing Zeng Zhilin's expression, Wang and Zhang were very moved, and unanimously expressed their gratitude, and expressed their hesitation just now. Subsequently, the three of them called Wang Feng and Liang Ziyue and explained the relevant jihua to them, and both of them also said that there was no problem. Several people carefully discussed the details of Jihua, and formulated corresponding countermeasures for various possible situations, which did not end until noon. At lunchtime, Wang Kunjun informed Zhong Yuanwai of everyone's decision. Zhong Yuanwai was very happy that everyone could accept his suggestion, and said that he would personally go to discuss this matter with Daoist Yuxuzi, and asked everyone to relax. Wang Kunjun and others thanked themselves.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhong Yuanwai took two servants and some gifts to the Yuxu Palace by car. This Yuxu Palace is not far from the Huangshan store, and the straight-line distance is only six or seven miles. It's just that this road is all mountainous, and it takes twice as long to walk as it does on flat ground. What's more, Zhong Yuanwai went by car, and he couldn't walk the mountain road at all. Therefore, he and his servants could only take the main road, detour in the direction of Zhoukou Town, and then turn to the foot of Baojin Mountain, where the Yuxu Palace is located, and then go up the mountain. Although the distance is nearly twice as farther, you only need to walk a short section of the mountain road that requires careful driving, and you can drive happily at other times. It's just that in this way, I am afraid that this bell will not be able to come back that day, and everyone can only wait one more night.

There was no word all night, and the next day it was not until near noon that Zhong Yuanwai returned. When everyone got the news, they all went to the flower hall to see the bell clerk, hoping to have a definite result. Everything went as smoothly as Zhong Yuanwai said yesterday, and the Daoist of Yuxuzi naturally readily agreed, saying that when he asked the disciples of Guanzhong to clean the house, everyone could move over tomorrow. After hearing this, the crowd naturally thanked him, and Zhong Yuanwai even said politely.

After everyone quieted down, Zhong Yuanwai asked Wang Kunjun: "There are two roads to go from Zhong's village to Yuxu Palace, a mountain road and a big road, I don't know where you plan to go." Then he explained the situation of the two roads. Wang Kunjun thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better to take the mountain road." Although the road is more difficult, there are far fewer people passing by, which is conducive to hiding our whereabouts and avoiding unnecessary trouble. ”

After all, everyone goes to be a Taoist priest to hide people's eyes and ears, and the road has to pass through Zhoukou Town, where people come and go are easy to see. Zhong Yuanwai listened, nodded yes, and said, "What Wang Gongzi said is reasonable. Then everyone will start tomorrow morning, and when the clock arrives, let the dog Shiwen take a few servants to send everyone there. First, lead the way for everyone. Second, it is better to introduce to the Taoist of Yuxuzi. Zhong is old and not used to walking mountain roads, so he won't send everyone there tomorrow. When Wang Kunjun heard this, he thanked him again, and even said that he didn't dare to bother the staff anymore.

Now that he had received accurate information, he began to pack his things after returning to the courtyard where he lived. Actually, there isn't much to pack. Because I didn't know how many days I was going to stay here, I didn't break up all my backpacks after everyone came, and it's still very easy to pack them now. After packing up their things, everyone had nothing to do, chatting in a bunch of two groups. Wang Kunjun recruited several key personnel together and became familiar with the handling plans for various emergency situations.

In the evening, Wang Kunjun gathered everyone together to inform the emergency response plan formulated by the leading group, and asked Zeng Zhilin to distribute all kinds of weapons that the team currently has. The imitation Tang horizontal knife was used by Zeng Zhilin, the nunchucks were used by Wang Feng, the throwing sticks were used by Liang Ziyue, the two baseball bats were used by You Yuan and Song Feiyang, and the crossbow was used by Wang Kunjun. Others, after entering the mountain, cut a thicker branch as a weapon on the grounds that it was convenient to walk. In order not to make the people of the Zhong family suspicious, except for the branches, all weapons must be tied to the backpack and not too obviously held in the hand. In addition, in order to prevent accidents, after entering the mountain tomorrow, Zeng Zhilin will find an opportunity to make markers along the way, in case he needs to go out of the mountain, he can't find the path he has walked. Wang Feng wants to follow Zhong Shiwen at all times, and if there is really an accident, he will restrain Zhong Shiwen and think him as a hostage. Everything was arranged, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, and Zeng Zhilin, Zhang Weixin, Lu Yue, and Zhou Lei were arranged to take turns on duty at night in case of accidents.
