Chapter 6: Wuji Sect
"Fang Sheng, Fang Sheng, Fang Sheng, poor Dao looks down on death, and naturally looks down on life.
This one-eyed friend, you have lived long enough, so let's follow the wish of the little friend, Immeasurable Tianzun, I wish you an early exaltation. ”
As Daoist Chenghui spoke, his expression did not change in the slightest, but his right hand, which was originally erected on his chest, suddenly reached out, firmly clamped the neck of Li Lao Donkey's long and wrinkled body, and sent Li Lao Donkey on the road mercilessly.
Daoist Chenghui is only an outer disciple of the Wuji Sect, and he has no access to the true cultivation methods of the Wuji Sect at all, but after all, he has also practiced some martial arts to strengthen the body, and his skills and strength are much more powerful than ordinary people.
And this old donkey Li, thin and weak, even inferior to ordinary people, how can he be the opponent of Chenghui Taoist?
Without any resistance at all, it was easily wiped out.
In an instant, it was another human life, and the accident happened so quickly that everyone was a little unable to react, so they could only watch blankly, and the Taoist priest Chenghui discarded the body of Li Lao Donkey at will like discarding a pile of garbage, which was already the second corpse that appeared today.
"Thank you Dao Chang for avenging me, Qin Wuyi's life will be Dao Chang in the future. ”
Qin Wuyi felt that a large chunk of the stuffiness accumulated in his chest had dissipated, and the guilt contained in his gaze looking at his father's corpse had also weakened a lot.
Qin Wuyi thanked Daoist Chenghui from the bottom of his heart at this time, after all, if he hadn't come forward, Qin Wuyi might have died in the hands of the head of the Guo family, and it was even more nonsense to kill Li Lao Donkey to take revenge.
Now that he is lucky to be able to leave a life, and he has seen his father's enemy die in front of him, and his treacherous plan has not succeeded, for Qin Wuyi, he has earned enough.
"Helping one is helping, helping two is also helping, do you two brothers need help from the poor road, take advantage of it now, say it. ”
Perhaps thinking of the fate of Qin Wuyi and the three of them after being rescued by himself, Daoist Chenghui asked compassionately from this and him.
There was no response, and the two brothers could only be silent about the question of the Taoist priest, and they were really a pair of stuffy gourds and dumb dogs, and at this time, they couldn't say a word.
"Speak, are you really dumb?"
Qin Wuyi's revenge was avenged, and he was happy in his heart, but when he saw that the two brothers were pierced by an awl, they couldn't jump out of a fart, and shouted anxiously and angrily.
"It's our brothers who are obsessed with ghosts, and they are innocent of death, and they have ruined the reputation of the village elder, the Taoist chief doesn't need to save us, let us die." ”
Dacheng, who had been silent, shook his head and said, the eyes of the two brothers were always on the head of Xishan Village, and there was a trace of strange emotions in their eyes.
"Even if you two still have a little conscience, you know how to wash away the grievances for the old man, since the two of you are bent on death, then the old man will fulfill you, and give Brother Guo and the old grandmother of the Guo family an explanation!"
Before the village chief's words fell, he actually learned from the previous appearance of the Taoist priest Chenghui, and his two hands reached out together, wanting to take the lives of the two brothers.
"Old friend, why kill so much, the lives of the two brothers have been saved, the old friend insists on killing, that is against the poor road, since your two brothers have no desires, then let's go, go back to the mountain." ”
After Daoist Chenghui finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the courtyard without looking back.
The village chief of Naxishan Village was pushed back four or five steps by him, and almost fell to the ground.
Until they were dragged out of the courtyard of the Guo family by the two little Taoist priests, the brothers' eyes remained motionless on the village chief, silent, but containing a thousand words.
The moment he stepped out of the gate, Qin Wuyi suddenly figured it out.
If he still deserves to be greedy, then the two brothers Dacheng and Shaocheng are completely innocent, just like their father, and they must have accepted the order of the village chief before they took the risk to rob the tomb.
If the tomb robbery is successful and the jade pendant is stolen, it is naturally a credit, even if it cannot be rewarded, at least it will not be punished.
If the tomb robbery fails and is caught as it is now, then the two brothers will have to bear all the blame and let the village chief clear themselves from this matter.
From the moment they accepted the order, the two brothers had become the dead soldiers of the village chief, and there could only be one reason why they were willing to die, and that was their family.
The fearlessness of the two brothers from beginning to end, and the pleading in their eyes when they looked at the village chief, made Qin Wuyi suddenly think of the life experience of the two brothers, their father died early, leaving only a crazy old lady and a younger sister who was less than ten years old.
The old lady and the little sister are the bargaining chips used by the village chief as a coercion, which is enough to make the two brothers willing to die for preservation.
At this moment, in Qin Wuyi's eyes, this pair of brothers who are silent are so tall.
Is this a man?
......
It was getting farther and farther away from Xishan Village, all the way to the west, and after walking for two days, I arrived at the territory of Wuji Sect.
During this period, the Taoist priest Chenghui has been desperately urging to hurry, except for the necessary rest, there is no extra moment of rest.
It was originally a north-south mountain range called the Taiyuan Mountains.
The distance of the mountain range is not very far, but it just wraps the west side of the Western Regions City, forming a natural barrier and serving as a solid support for the Western Regions City.
The territory of the Wuji Sect contains a large mountainous area in the Taiyuan Mountain Range, and the sect is located in the Wuji Peak, which is the highest peak in the Taiyuan Mountain Range, and it is precisely because the Wuji Sect is located here that it is named.
Wuji Sect is divided into two places, the upper and lower mountains, also called the inner gate and the outer gate.
The inner gate is the core area of the Wuji Sect, and the sect masters, elders, and all the official disciples registered in the Wuji Sect are all in the inner gate, and they are dedicated to cultivation on weekdays, without worrying about food and clothing, and rarely go down the mountain.
The outer disciples under the mountain, also called nominal disciples, only hold the identity token issued by the Wuji Sect as a token, and their main task on weekdays is to do miscellaneous labor, mine stones, and then recite scriptures and do dojo rituals for people.
The best of them will be selected by the elders of the inner gate who are full-time in foreign affairs to manage several properties placed by the Wuji Sect in the Western Regions City.
The outer disciples of the Wuji Sect are divided into four categories of people according to their different positions, and the clothes they wear are used as distinguishing signs, and the lowest ones are those who mine stones, dressed in coarse cloth and linen robes, and live directly in the gray stone village of the stone factory, with the largest number of people.
Slightly better than the linen robe disciples, the black-robed disciples who are responsible for doing miscellaneous work live in the nearest heart cultivation bamboo house to the inner gate, and are responsible for all the daily life of all the inner disciples.
Just as Li Lao Donkey was planning to move down Qin Tong to find an errand to guard the cemetery, although it was very hard to be a linen-robed disciple and a black-robed disciple in Wuji Sect, he at least had a stable livelihood, and he was frugal on weekdays, but he didn't worry about food and clothing.
The top-ranking outer disciples of the Wuji Sect are those red-robed disciples who have been selected by the external affairs elders in the inner sect to be responsible for managing the Wuji Sect's industry.
These disciples have their own residences in their respective industries, and it is not uncommon for them not to return to the mountain gate for ten days and a half.
And there is also their dwelling at the outer gate, which is called the Fan Dwelling, which is built in a fairly regular separate courtyard.
Once promoted to a red-robed disciple, even in the Western Regions City, he can be regarded as a superior person, and the industries of the Wuji Sect involve cloth villages, money villages, dart bureaus, pawnshops, stone factories, etc., and also operate the only auction house in the Western Regions City.
Being able to hold a position in these industries is not only a matter of eating and drinking, but also a very glamorous thing.
And blue-robed disciples like Chenghui Taoist are between linen, black, and red, and belong to the nature of half-labor and half-farming, living in Yunshuiguan.
They also do miscellaneous labor, quarry, and even run a business, and as long as the number of disciples of the other three types of outer sects is slightly insufficient, they will be drawn from the blue-robed disciples.
In addition, the blue-robed disciples also have their own fixed errands, which are to open altars for the people of Western Regions City and nearby villages, as a kind of ritual for red and white things such as weddings and funerals, to earn additional expenses.
At this time, Qin Wuyi was taken by Chenghui Taoist to the Yunshui Temple at the bottom of the mountain, there were about twenty or thirty Taoist priests here, all of whom were silently reciting scriptures in the Taoist temple, and when they saw Chenghui Taoist bringing three strangers in, they all greeted him curiously.
"Senior Brother Chenghui, you have come back from an errand, and you have worked hard. ”
From the greetings of other Taoist priests, Qin Wuyi could tell that this Chenghui Taoist priest was the leader of this group of Taoist priests.
"It is within my generation's duty to transcend the soul of the dead and help all sentient beings, so how can I say that it is hard work? Inheriting the ancestors, inheriting the ancestors, and Chengde, help the three little friends to my room.
Chengshan, you go to the treasury to get a roll of straw mats, and in the next period of time, I have something important to do, so I won't go out on an errand, and if there is nothing important, no one will bother me. ”
Daoist Chenghui gave an order, and then he entered a room in the southwest corner of the Taoist temple.
The three little Taoist priests also helped Qin Wuyi and Dacheng Shaocheng into the two brothers, and then Chengshan, who came, held a roll of straw mat in his hand and spread it on the ground, which became the bed for the three of Qin Wuyi.
"Alright, you four go back to rest, and if there's anything else, I'll call you at any time. ”
Daoist Chenghui waved his hand and commanded.
The four little Taoist priests bowed and respectfully exited the room, which showed that the Chenghui Taoist priest enjoyed considerable authority in front of these four little Taoist priests.
Chenghui Taoist's room looks ordinary, with a portrait of a middle-aged man hanging on the east wall, and according to the text explanation next to the portrait, it is known that the person in the painting is Zhang Tianshi, the ancestor of the Wuji Sect.
There is a table under the portrait, on which incense and offerings are placed, which shows the piety of the heart, and the incense in the incense burner has not been burned out, which shows that during the period when the Taoist priest Chenghui went out on business, someone has been responsible for the continuation.
There is a kang on the south side of the room, and there is a stove on the ground in front of the kang head, and the firewood in it is still burning, and the resulting heat first escapes into the inside of the kang, and then it emits out, making the whole room very warm, and forming a strong contrast with the cold of late autumn and early winter outside the house.
There is a small kang table more than a foot high on the kang table, and there are many pastries and dried fruits on the kang table, as well as a set of tea sets, which shows that the Taoist priest Chenghui is really a person who can enjoy it.
