"We want to go to Caojiagou to find him, and we want to ask you to show us the way. It's just that it's so late, your age—"

"It's okay, I'll go with you."

"We really don't want to go."

"It's okay, I've lived in this mountain for a long time, don't look at my old stubborn age, walking on mountain roads, young people are not as happy as my two legs - walking." The old man stood up, waited for everyone to come out of the thatched hut, and blew out the kerosene lamp in one breath.

The old man covered the door of the thatched hut and the door of the fence.

Everyone followed the old man out of the bamboo forest.

At first, Ngawang followed behind his master, and Huang stubbornly shouted: "Ngawang, don't follow me, you go to the back." So Ngawang ran behind the three. It's like a bodyguard, staying in the back all the time, at most touring on both sides.

Huang stubbornly led everyone over the three mountainsides, and a lake appeared in front of him.

"Comrade, Caojiagou is about to arrive, and to the west of this lake is Caojiagou.

Along the way, Zhao Zimeng and Huang stubbornly chatted to the chief of the unknown Tao.

Wuwen Taoist is eighty-nine years old this year, he has lived in Ziyun Temple for more than 70 years, and he is the oldest living Taoist priest in Ziyun Temple, and he is also the Taoist priest who has stayed in Ziyun Temple for the longest time. Because he was old, the children took him home to live for the rest of his life.

"Uncle Huang, can a Taoist priest get married and have children?"

"There are two schools of Taoism, one is Quanzhen and the other is Zhengyi. The righteous faction can get married and have children. ”

"Didn't we see a woman in Ziyun Temple?"

"It's a long story, Ziyunguan first belonged to the Zhengyi faction, and since the overall situation of the Supreme Elder Abbot, Ziyunguan has become a Quanzhen faction. The reason why the Wuwen Taoist went home to recuperate for the rest of his life is also one of the reasons. ”

"Can this sect be changed at will?"

Wasn't it chaos in those years? When the world is in chaos, what else can't be changed? I think back then, if it weren't for God's kindness, a fire would have burned Ziyunguan to ashes. ”

"Where does the fire come from?"

"A group of rebels and Red Guards rushed into the Ziyun Temple, smashed the statues in the Taoist temple, and a group of people also set fire to the head of Taishan Laojun and burned half of the roof, fortunately there was a heavy rain in the sky, otherwise, the current Sanqing Temple is already in ruins."

"Is it just because he got married and had children?"

"I haven't asked the Wuwen Daoist - this kind of thing, people don't talk about it, we don't have long hairs on the tip of the mouth, and ask about things that shouldn't be inquired about, but, according to my estimate, it may be that the Supreme Elder doesn't allow him, of course, it may also have something to do with his body, by the way, there may be another reason."

"What is the reason?"

"In the early years, Daoist Wuwen was tired of the life of Ziyun Temple."

There may be something to do with being tired of the life of the Purple Cloud Temple and the intolerance of the True Elders.

With a dog barking, Huang stubbornly knocked on the courtyard door of a family - this family had already fallen asleep.

Zhao Zimeng looked at his watch, the time was 10:35, and everyone walked for more than an hour.

After a while, the lights in the courtyard came on. A dog barks incessantly.

"Big black, flash to the side."

The dogs stopped barking, but the other dogs were still barking.

After a while, the door of the hall opened, and a voice said, "Who's knocking?" ”

"It's me! Big brother, I'm a yellow stubborn! ”

"Huang stubborn, it's so late—stubborn, you wait, I'll open the door for you."

The people who spoke in the courtyard should not have heard the Tao.

"You wait, I'll open the door, cough-cough-cough."

Wuwen Dao Chang spoke very slowly, he coughed more violently, and Zhao Zimeng also heard the sound of crutches hitting the stone slab.

After a while, there was the sound of moving the latch from inside the courtyard gate.

The door opened, and an old man on crutches and hunched over appeared at the gate of the courtyard, wearing a white shirt on his upper body and a jacket on the outside: "Huang stubborn, please come in - who are these people?" The old man glanced at the three people standing behind the yellow stubborn head.

"Big brother, they are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and they are from Ziyunguan." Huang stubbornly said.

"From the Purple Cloud View? Is there anything looking for me? Wuwen Dao Chang rubbed his eyes.

"Comrades sit in the room first, you talk, I will wait for you outside the courtyard gate." Huang stubborn is a person with a lot of eyesight.

"Uncle Huang, it's out of the way." Zhao Zimeng dragged Huang stubbornly into the hall.

Ngawang and Daihei are very familiar, and they are entangled.

There is a hooded lamp on the large table.

Wuwen Dao Chang twisted the wick, and the room suddenly lit up a lot.

After arranging everyone to sit down on chairs, Daoist Wuwen sat next to Huang Stubborn.

Zhao Zimeng was just about to say something, when the door of the hall was pushed open, and a woman about forty years old stuck her head into the door: "Dad, who is it!" "The woman wears a coat in one hand and a haircut in the other.

"It's your Uncle Huang here, it's nothing to do with you, go to sleep!"

The woman exited the door and closed the door.

"Comrade, say it! What are you looking for me? ”

"Here's the thing, we're investigating a case, and over the years, five young monks and nuns have mysteriously disappeared in a row at Mingchen Nunnery – we know five people. After entering the Mingchen Nunnery, under the guidance of an insider," Zhao Zimeng said, taking out a notebook from his pocket, unfolding the three pieces of paper sandwiched in the notebook one by one and handing them to Wuwen Dao Chang, "In addition, we have two major discoveries. ”

Wuwen Daoist took the note and looked at it carefully, and then returned the note to Zhao Zimeng: "Captain Zhao, you go on." ”

"We found two secret rooms, there are four exits in the secret room, one exit is in a meditation room in the West Zen Temple, the second exit is in a room in the Tibetan Scripture Hall, and the third exit is on the back of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Jingwu Temple. The fourth exit is in the quiet courtyard of the abbot of Huijue, and the five young nuns disappeared in the two meditation rooms of the West Zen Monastery and the Tibetan Scripture Hall; We also found the last missing man's bra inside a secret room. ”

"I already understand, actually, when you mentioned Abbot Huijue, I understood."

The three men looked at each other for a moment. Doren's guidance was correct.

"We came late at night to ask some questions from the chief of the unknown Tao."

"Didn't someone tell you to come to me?"

"It was Doren who told us secretly."

"You are here for the Most True Elders."

"You're right, we're here for the Most True Elders."

"The Supreme True Daoist and Abbot Huijue have been in contact for many years."

Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo looked at each other: Abbot Huijue and Elder Zhizhen really had an extraordinary relationship.

Obviously, the person who wrote the note must have known what was going on.

"Dating many years ago?"

"Yes."

"What is the origin of these two people?"

"What is the origin, I don't know, more than forty years ago, Zhizhen entered the Ziyun Temple, and soon after, Huijue went to Mingchen Nunnery to become a monk. That's all I know. Elder Zhizhen became a member of the Ziyunguan family in the fall of 1970, when Huijue was still an ordinary nun. ”

"How did Zhizhen become the head of the Ziyun Temple?"

"Demons emerge in troubled times!" Wuwen let out a long sigh.

"Dao Chief, please tell us about it."

"Zhizhen was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, he has a body of martial arts and skills, it is because of his martial arts and skills that he killed people, got into a lawsuit, and in a desperate situation, he hid in Ziyunguan."

"Elder Jianzhi took him in, this person has a sickle on his buttocks—his mind is not right, and he is trying to please Elder Jianzhi."

"Coincidentally, Elder Jianzhi was numb on half of his body because of a fall, especially his right leg, and he was really proficient in the art of massaging through the meridians, so he insisted on massaging Elder Jianzhi at noon and midnight every day."

"Why arrange midday and midnight massages?"

He said that noon is the most prosperous time of the day, and at this time the massage is the most yang, and midnight is the time when the yin is the most prosperous in the day. Half a year later, Elder Jianzhi really walked like a fly and fully recovered. ”

"Elder Jianzhi passed on the position of being a family member to Zhizhen?"

"That's not true, if it weren't for the chaos of those few years, Elder Jianzhi wouldn't have passed away prematurely, and it would have been impossible for Zhizhen to become the head of the Ziyun Temple. In the spring of 1967, several groups of rebels, namely the Red Guards, broke into the Ziyun Temple and made the Ziyun Temple a miasma. ”

"Elder Jianzhi was in a hurry, and he couldn't afford to fall ill, and he died soon after; After the incense of Ziyun Temple was broken, there was also a problem with the livelihood of the Guanzhong, the Taoist priests in the Guanzhong ate the last meal and did not have the next meal, many disciples went down the mountain one after another, only a dozen old Taoist priests remained on the mountain, and soon, Elder Jianzhi drove the crane to the west, and it was in this situation that Zhizhen became the family member of Ziyunguan. ”

Not only that, after he became a family member, he also changed many rules of the Ziyun Temple, originally, the Taoist priests in the temple could get married and have children, but since he became a family, the Zhengyi Sect has become the Quanzhen Sect. But he himself and Ming Chen'an's Huijue secretly communicated with each other and lived a free life. ”

Wuwen Dao Chief shuddered and continued, "In the Purple Cloud Temple, no one knows about this matter. It's really very secretive. ”

"And how do you know?"

"I found out by accident, Zhizhen has been acting very strangely since he entered the Purple Cloud Temple, and I have long suspected that there is something wrong with him. One night, I went back to Ziyunguan from Huang Stubborn's house, I didn't want to go to the front door, so I took a detour to the back door, ready to climb over the wall to enter the view, and when I walked to the woods behind Ziyunguan, I suddenly saw a person come out of the small door behind the Yangxin Palace. In the middle of the night, where is this going? I went up and wanted to see what was going on. ”

"As a result, as you know, Zhizhen went to Mingchen-an—to Tallinn in Mingchen-an. A nun is waiting in Tallinn for the truth. At that time, I didn't know that she was Huijue, and only after listening to them did I know what was going on. ”
