Back to basics, maybe this is Rong Ping's current attitude towards life, returning to the original self, the one who has great respect and respect for the Maoshan faction, and the Rong Ping who is dedicated to the Tao, no wonder Cha Wenbin said three "good" words after knowing his current Tao number!

"Good! Good! Good! Back to the truth," Cha Wenbin still stepped forward and hugged this old-timer, I haven't seen him for half a year, Rong Ping's temples have more gray hair, and his body is slightly fatter than before, he said: "In the past, I was deeply sinful, thanks to the head of the family who did not dislike accepting it again, and now I have quit smoking and drinking, and I have quit the world. ”

Unexpectedly, he really came back to become a Taoist priest, and a person who was once known as the king of thieves finally gave up everything and returned to this deep mountain and old forest. This room was all he had, and the furnishings in it were so simple that there was no place for them to sit, and a few cups made of bamboo tubes were steaming and he held them up and said, "It's all wild tea picked by himself, drink it."

The fat bamboo tube quipped: "The workmanship of your thing is good, the Tang Tang Maoshan faction won't even have a teacup." ”

Rong Ping said with a smile: "In my eyes, no matter how good the cup is, it is only used to hold this bowl of tea after all, and the quality of the cup does not affect the fragrance of this tea." In the past, Rong Ping was greedy for flashiness, so he was dead, and now he just wants to sit quietly in front of his ancestor every day and cultivate a shallow way, just so that he can live a peaceful life for the rest of his life. ”

Cha Wenbin said: "It will be good soon, my hall is about to be completed, and you Maoshan will definitely be able to regain your strength and carry the banner of Taoism." ”

"Really?" Rong Ping said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, so far, there are only four disciples left in the Taoist temple, two senior uncles and the head of the sect plus me, a total of eight people." The house here was secretly built by the master, and during the Cultural Revolution, he almost didn't die on the street, and the disciples in the Taoist temple were scattered, and no one was willing to cultivate the Tao anymore when the people's hearts were unstable. He pointed to the reinforced concrete outside and said: "A tile above the head, just to shelter from the wind and rain, no matter how gorgeous this hall is, no matter how beautiful the statue is, it will not be able to restore the hearts of those who have lost their hearts after all." Fortunately, the master persuaded them that we can continue to stay in this temple, saying that we are the masters here, but in fact, we will only be substitutes for others in the future......"

Rong Ping's words reveal a sense of helplessness, and this kind of scene has blossomed everywhere in China a few years later. Someone laughed and said, if Xu Xiake was born now, he couldn't write that travelogue at all, and the tickets collected everywhere were enough to make him shy, to put it bluntly, he was a backpacker until now, and it was okay to hike, but if you want to enter those mountains and rivers, someone will say sorry to you, please queue up next door to buy a ticket first.

Cha Wenbin comforted him and said: "Maybe this is also a good thing, after all, the country has begun to pay attention to religion, and it has spent so much effort to reorganize, and the future of Maoshan will definitely be better." ”

This topic is like a cloud in the sky outside, and what it will look like in the next second can only be known in the next second, so Rong Ping didn't want to discuss it, so he asked: "Why are you here, you can't really come on purpose, right?" ”

The fat man handed over a burden and patted it: "I really came to give it to you, this is a unique dried wild bamboo shoot in northwest Zhejiang, and our sister-in-law dried it herself." There is also a bag of white tea, which is also unique, and my sister-in-law fried it by herself. ”

Rong Ping's eyes were a little moist, he couldn't imagine that those "friends" would still think about him so much, and he couldn't say anything other than thank you.

Cha Wenbin said: "Senior, I do have some other things to do this time, I want to inquire with you, it is said that there is a Dao seal in Maoshan that was given to Maoshan Daoist Liu Mingkang by Song Tempzong during the Song Yuanyou period, I don't know if this seal is still in the hands of the Maoshan faction?" ”

Rong Ping didn't answer directly, but asked, "What are you asking about this?" ”

So, Cha Wenbin told Rong Ping about what he met about Ma Wenjun and the bewitching man, and Rong Ping, who heard that he actually used someone to use the "Nine Old Immortal Du Jun Seal" to settle the money, was also very surprised, he said: "As far as I know, the seal has gone through several tribulations, first when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the head of the house at that time risked his life to hide the seal in a stone cave in the back mountain and escaped a catastrophe. When the Japanese came, the Maoshan faction accumulated over the past generations but all the little ones were also snatched away, and the seal was turned into a farmer by a small Taoist priest and escaped by luck, and it was returned when the situation was stable. A few years ago, that is, soon after I left Maoshan, the Cultural Revolution began, and the big seal was the first evidence of the crime of stolen goods, and the seal that was guarded by several generations was also lost in that chaos, and no one really knew about it outside, and I didn't think it would appear again. ”

"This is a bit of a match," Cha Wenbin said: "As far as I know, this matter is also related to the Liu family, a famous incense maker in western Zhejiang, among which some of the secret recipes for the configuration of special incense products in the Liu family were also stolen by someone during the Cultural Revolution, and someone was indeed taking advantage of the chaos to loot what he wanted." ”

The fat man said: "Since the seal fell on the Maoshan talisman, it must have been done by the Maoshan disciples, do you think about who it will be?" ”

Rong Ping said: "This is difficult to judge, the Maoshan faction has been widely connected since the establishment of the sect, and there are no less than dozens of branches, and the Maoshan spell formation and the configuration of the pill are even more victorious, many people will draw a few talismans and dare to claim to be descendants of Maoshan, and some people are even making a lot of money outside under the guise of Maoshan." Today's Maoshan faction is more like a signboard, you can use it, I can also use it, it's not strange to be able to draw the corpse charm, don't you check the old brother, besides, when Maoshan still had some spare strength a few years ago, there were hundreds of disciples in the view, and now most of these people are scattered everywhere, and it is difficult for you to chase down this vine. ”

What he said is indeed reasonable, Maoshan is more like a trademark that has not been protected, just like Moutai, as long as it is produced in Moutai Town, it dares to be called so, but there is only one real sect. This talisman is not better than others, there is an original talisman can be copied, Maoshan faction walks the rivers and lakes, leaving a variety of talismans all over the place, spend some effort to collect these talismans according to the gourd to draw a few more pieces, you can't tell the truth from the fake at all.

"Will anyone use a fake seal?" As he spoke, Cha Wenbin took out the talisman paper that was attached to Ma Wenjun's forehead and gave it to Rong Ping, "Senior, you are well-informed, can you identify this talisman." ”

Rong Ping took the rune and carefully screened it and said: "This rune should have been cultivating for some years from the pen on the foot of the rune rune, and I am ashamed to say that with my current Taoism, I can't do it like him." If you raise the ambition of the other party again, Brother Cha, this talisman can be said to have reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and there are no more than one hand in this world who can have the ability to make this kind of talisman except for the heads of the major sects. ”

Cha Wenbin also said: "The painting method of this talisman is indeed clever, and the younger generation thinks that it is not yet up to such a fire, and today the seniors say so, then I can be sure that this talisman will not come from the hand of that man, the study of Taoism is gradual, not a handful, this skill according to me also has forty years." ”

Rong Ping nodded again and again: "What you said makes sense, at least at this number, now I am afraid that there is only one person in my sect who can draw such a talisman." This pointed to the seal in the lower right corner of the charm and said: "Although I have not seen the appearance of the seal of the Nine Old Immortals, I have seen a lot of seals in the Song Dynasty. Rong Ping said this is still credible, there are indeed too many things that have passed through his hands, as a generation of thieves, Rong Ping has read countless treasures in his life, and he probably doesn't know the origin of a seal.

Cha Wenbin nodded and said, "In this way, whoever this talisman comes from is the owner of that seal." ”

"It's just a bad brother," Rong Ping took the talisman and said: "Since this matter involves my Maoshan token, I want to wait until the master comes back and I will give this talisman to his old man to look at it again to ensure the authenticity, is it feasible?" ”

This request Cha Wenbin naturally would not refuse, he came to verify just to prove the guess in his heart, and now the information received is enough for him to make more judgments, and now this charm is useless to him.

"This is natural, the seniors took it, I don't know where this head has gone, I want to come and visit in person."

Rong Ping showed a hint of cunning on his face and said: "I said that I went to Beijing for a meeting, what kind of religious conference, it is estimated that I will come back in ten days and half a month......

They didn't stay in Maoshan for a long time, this Rong Ping finally returned to the truth, Cha Wenbin didn't want to disturb his pure heart too much, after saying goodbye, the three of them went down the road, walking halfway up the road The night breeze slowly blew so that the fat man felt so uncomfortable, and said again and again: "This famous mountain is a famous mountain, and the air is fresher than other places, but I don't know what it will be like when I come back next time." ”

"Next time?" Cha Wenbin pointed to the brightly lit construction site on the side of the cliff and said: "There will be a cable car there in the future, and you won't have to use it to go to Maoshan Mountain in the future, just enjoy the feeling of flying immortals." ”

Maoshan, goodbye, Cha Wenbin silently turned his head to look at the dilapidated hut again, and he secretly thought in his heart: Maybe this is the most real scenery that belongs to you......
