Early in the morning, in a quiet courtyard in Yanjing, Cai He, wearing a white practice uniform, stood in the courtyard and slowly played a set of Tai Chi, which he must do every morning, and has almost never stopped for decades. After a set of punches, a man dressed as an old butler came from the front yard, holding a warm towel in one hand and a teapot in the other.

Cai He took the towel and wiped his face, then took a sip of the purple clay pot and asked, "Is there any news?" ”

"Yes, Ruopu called last night, and you have already fallen asleep!" The old housekeeper said, "This game is a big victory, Longmen Haoyue came to naught, the five disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect were all injured, and Zhang Yaozu was almost swept away by the river!" ”

"It's a big win, but it's also a lose!" Cai He sighed, "Is there any movement over there in Southern Xinjiang?" ”

"Not yet!" The old butler shook his head, "Even if there is movement, I'm afraid Ruopu's ability won't be able to detect it!" ”

Cai He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the room at the head of the wall in a daze, but the old housekeeper did not leave, still standing respectfully behind him, as if he had something to say.

"Anything else?"

"The pot of flowers you asked me to take care of was reacted to as soon as possible!" The old housekeeper said, "I usually take care of it, but this growth is a bit strange, like a flower to thank, is it a change in season?" ”

Cai Yiyi listened, his brows furrowed deeper, and he raised his feet and walked to the front yard.

The front courtyard is very much like a garden, rockery, pool, courtyard...... The pool against the west wall is filled with pots of various colors, planted with a variety of plants, but the most dazzling one is a water lily. After more than half a year, this water lily has grown to a height of more than one meter, the lotus leaves are unfolded like a fan, a pair of lotus flowers are raised high, the outer layer is delicate like fire, and the heart is brilliant like gold.

Cai He leaned down and observed carefully, his frowning brow stretched slightly.

"It's not withering, it's the petals that are gathering, Lao Xue, let people prepare the box, I have to take the fire lotus to accompany the capital!"

"Okay, I'll prepare, breakfast is ready, you need something first!" Lao Xue listened to the order and hurried to the front yard.

"Is there any warning about this plant? Second child, I'm afraid it's hard for me to save it, as for which one opens, then thank you depends on creation and providence! ”

Dragon Tiger Mountain.

After entering May, Longhu Mountain has begun to take action one after another, renovating mountain roads, renovating houses, and adding guest rooms, which is a busy scene inside and out. But those who have a heart find that the atmosphere today is a little strange, the person in charge of the mountain is all extremely cautious, but also extremely serious, everyone has a strained face, very few words, when entering and leaving the courtyard, lightly, as if afraid of angering someone.

In the quiet courtyard in the backyard, all the people with heads and faces on Longhu Mountain had arrived, and they all poked into the courtyard like elm stakes, glancing at the closed door from time to time. The courtyard was in shambles, eight golden furnaces fell to the ground, incense ashes were all over the ground, and the stumps and leaves were scattered on the marble floor, and no one cleaned them up.

"Second uncle, why don't you go in and have a look?" It was Zhang Liye who said this, he is 26 years old this year, graduated from a bachelor's and master's degree last year, originally worked in a foreign company, and came in a hurry a few days ago. After ascending to the mountain, he served as the deputy governor, which is a position second only to the presiding officer and the governor.

In the Taoist temple, out of the needs of the management function, the management is divided into various deacons. In the traditional jungle, the deacons have "three capitals, five lords and eighteen heads", and the three capitals are "all in charge, all speaking, and all cooking; The five masters are the hall master, the hall master, the scripture master, the transformation master, and the quiet master; Eighteen heads are the head of the warehouse, the head of the village, the head of the hall, the head of the clock, the head of the drum, the head of the door, the head of tea, the head of water, the head of fire, the head of rice, the head of vegetables, the head of the warehouse, the head of the mill, the head of the mill. Garden head, fence head, round head, groove head, net head. ”

There are eight deacons, which are common in contemporary Taoist temples: abbot, capital manager, zhike, patrol, clerk, treasury, hall master, and capital cook. Among them, the abbot is also called the prison and is the supreme leader in the palace; The metropolitan manager mainly assists the abbot in handling large and small affairs; Zhike is responsible for receiving Taoist priests and other personnel who come to visit; The patrol is responsible for the etiquette and safety of the Taoist priests in the palace; The clerk is responsible for the collection and writing of legal affairs; The warehouse mainly manages the warehouse objects in the palace; The lord of the temple is responsible for all the things of incense and offerings in the temple; The Metropolitan Chef manages the kitchen.

"Wait!" Zhang Yuanqing put his hands behind his back and said, "Liye, you go and arrange something for them to do, you don't have to spend it all here!" ”

Zhang Liye was about to send the people in the courtyard away, but the door opened at this time, and Yuandi took the lead to walk out, he stood under the eaves, looked at everyone with fierce eyes, and Neng Zhentian then walked out. In just one night, Neng Zhentian has aged a lot, his long beard and sideburns have added a few strands of gray hair, his spirit is a little sluggish, his cheeks are sunken, and his eyes are red and swollen.

"Big brother, you have to pay attention to your body!" Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly went up to help.

"It's okay, Guangzong's fate has been saved for the time being! Liye, you take everyone to get busy, don't delay the progress! ”

Zhang Liye nodded yes, and withdrew from the small courtyard with everyone, leaving only the distant land to serve in the courtyard.

"Yuanqing, this is a new drawing, let people hurry up and prepare!" Neng Zhentian handed over the drawings in his hand.

"Big brother, do you still have to re-plant the foundation, is it worth it? Now that there is only half a year before the ceremony, in my opinion, you should train more and start a business! ”

"Can you train it in half a year?" Neng Zhentian shook off Zhang Yuantian's arm, and his body staggered two steps, "It's not a question of who to set up, but the rise and fall of honor and disgrace related to the future trend of Heavenly Master Dao, you must not give up lightly until the last moment!" ”

"But the light sect is ......"

"Guangzong's road is not over yet, but he can't live on the mountain!" Neng Zhentian said, "Prepare the things according to the formation diagram, and send them to the capital for me along with the Light Sect!" ”

"Big brother, you ...... You're going down the mountain? ”

"There are less than three months left until July 7, and I will clean up the mess myself, and everything is still in time!"

"Big brother, forget it, you can't repeat it again and again, the will of heaven cannot be violated! You are the pillar of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, once there is a mistake, the Heavenly Master's Mansion will really collapse! ”

"I can still sit in the town for a few days, without the Light Sect, how many days can the lintel of the Heavenly Master's Mansion be hung? Needless to say, I've made up my mind! ”

"Big brother, have you forgotten your vow back then?"

The body that can shake the sky shook suddenly, and the older generation are very superstitious, especially those who participate in Buddhism and practice, and what they are most afraid of is to take an oath.

"The second child is already gone, even if Hongli and Cai He are involved, it is not a reunion, it is not a violation of the oath!" Neng Zhentian made an excuse for himself, "Even if I swear an oath, as long as I can save the Guangzong and let the Heavenly Master's Mansion have a prosperous future, I will not hesitate to do it!" ”

"Alas!" Zhang Yuantian let out a long sigh.

Neng Zhentian has always been arrogant and has never listened to advice, if Zhang Yuanqing was not his younger brother and also served as a substitute heavenly master, I am afraid he would have opened his mouth to reprimand him a long time ago. Jinghe is dead, Lan Yu was robbed, and failed to rush the pass, three bad news in a day in a row stimulated Neng Zhentian, from breaking to becoming famous, and then to Megatron Jianghu, how could Neng Zhentian suffer this anger and suffer this loss in half a century, and now he has been repeatedly provoked by a junior with no name, resulting in a loss of face, how can he swallow this breath, how can he have the face to stand in the field of the sealing ceremony to support the scene and prestige of the next generation of heavenly masters?

"And when are you going to get up?"

"Let's go today! You don't need to prepare anything, just follow me from afar! If everything goes well, there will be some progress between the ten months and the moon, and when the time comes, the Light Sect will be carefully escorted over! Speaking of this, Neng shook the heavens for a moment, and then said: "If it doesn't go well, teach more and establish a career, and put him in a big position, this heavenly master's mansion...... It's up to you in the future! ”

After speaking, he waved the sleeves of his robe and walked away from the courtyard, although his steps were still vigorous, but his back was a little lonely. I want to talk about "Trick Hunting" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
