Chapter 14. Don't be merciful
We broke in relatively early, and many Taoist family members were doing their homework at this time, so basically everyone was in the inner hall, and they were not prepared for our arrival at all. I had tried to think of many possibilities before entering, including that the other party had more people, that we might not be able to get others, etc., but from the moment Hu Zongren broke in, he grabbed the little Taoist boy who opened the door, and scared the child into yelling, Hu Zongren said to him viciously, if you call again, I will rip off all your clothes and pants, and then tie you up and throw you out on the street. After all, he was a little Taoist boy, and he was so frightened by Hu Zongren, so he really didn't make trouble.
I asked that little Taoist boy, who are you in charge of now, is it Ma Daochang or Yao Daochang? Xiao Daotong bit his mouth and refused to speak, Hu Zongren put his lips to his ear, and then said very pervertedly, if you don't tell the truth, your ear will be bitten off by me today, and then feed the dog. I glared at Hu Zongren, thinking that even if there was a big hatred, don't hurt the innocent. Besides, why should he describe himself as a dog? Xiao Daotong was scared, so he said, now the big boss and the second master are all doing their homework, and many other protégés are also listening to the class, all in the inner hall.
Hu Zongren and I have been here before, so we know how to get there. Since Ma Daoren and that Yao seniors are there, then things are much simpler and easier, just wait for the next victory and defeat. Taoists usually do their homework by leaving the hall door wide open to fill the air of heaven and earth, so when we walk through the courtyard and go around a corner, we can see the hall.
This is a hall full of humiliation, and it was here that Hu Zongren and I were forced to agree to each other's requests, so that we didn't say anything about our own hardships, and we were involved in such a big battle of right and wrong. When I thought of this, I subconsciously looked around, but I didn't find the figure of those few White Lotus Sect disciples, thinking that I probably needed to avoid suspicion, after all, now that the victory and defeat are not scored, people can't expose themselves so easily, but I can be sure that they must be around us and are acting at the opportunity.
More than 30 people walked in unison, and no matter how careful they were, the sound of footsteps would still easily attract the attention of others. So when we were still ten meters away from the hall, we had already let the people inside notice, I roughly counted, there were about twenty Taoists present, sitting on the Taishi chair in the center, it was the yin and yang weird Yao old-timer earlier, but I didn't see the figure of Ma Daoren. Not to be precise, I didn't see it, because as we passed around the corner, I distinctly saw a robed figure retreat from the side door of the inner hall behind the screen, and then vanished. I don't know if the person in Lu Dao is Ma Dao, if that's the case, maybe he's hiding at the moment.
But I couldn't worry so much at the moment, and when I walked to the door, Hu Zongren stuffed the little Taoist boy into the hands of one of the Wudao masters behind him, and then quickly crossed over to me and ran directly into the inner hall. Some Taoist priests sitting on the side of the door saw Hu Zongren's fierce appearance, and they were so frightened that they didn't meditate anymore, and stood up one by one and fled in panic in the direction of the Taishi chair, but they didn't escape from this inner hall, but while running, they looked back to see if Hu Zongren was chasing after him. As soon as Hu Zongren entered the door, he kicked over the originally neatly arranged Taoist cases with a few snaps, and the scriptures and pens on the table were scattered to the ground. Hu Zongren still didn't stop, and continued to rush towards Yao Lao Daoren's place, I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, Hu Zongren turned around viciously, I quickly frowned and told him with my eyes, you calm down first, don't fall into the trap.
Hu Zongren was quiet at this time, and he himself understood that everything that happened today was caused by his impulsive temper. Seeing that Hu Zongren was quiet, I let go of the hand holding him. Since the group of masters behind him were all called by us to help, many of them probably imagined in their minds that this time they might have to fight in a group, or even fight, because after all, it was none of their business, when they stood still, they naturally stood behind us. So two groups of people were formed in the hall, on one side was me, Hu Zongren and Fu Yunni, the three of us stood at the front, and the more than 30 people behind us were all behind. Any discerning person can tell that the three of us are actually the leaders of this siege.
After all, Old Daoist Yao is an old-timer, and when we rushed into the inner hall at first, there was indeed a trace of surprise on our faces, but at this moment, it seemed that he was very calm. His protégés surrounded him, but because of the high ground of the Taishi chair he was sitting on, he could sit and watch it all. At this time, he got down from the chair, then pushed aside the disciples in front of him, walked to the front of the crowd, and then put his hands behind his back, stopped about two meters away from the three of us, and said to us with an unhappy face, why did you come here without making a sound, do you know that this is called trespassing on a private house, I can call the police to arrest you.
Hu Zongren snorted and said, call the police? You old face can really pull it down, tell your own disciples what you old bastards have done! Yao Lao Daoren still did not move his body, and even his expression did not change, he said, the last time the two of you came, some words have been made very clear to you, and after the test is completed, the grievances will be written off. Now you are aggressive and take so many people to trespass on the incense hall, why are you doing? Scare me? Did the test go wrong? So act like a child, don't you? Hu Zongren also walked in front of us, but he imitated the appearance of Yao Lao Daoist with a hippie smile, put his hands behind his back, shrugged his neck slightly, and then learned the tone of Yao Lao Dao and said, yes, I'm so boring, I'm driving hundreds of kilometers to play tricks with you? After speaking, he returned to that questioning attitude and said, you group of scum who have rebelled, said that after the twenty-four cases are over, we will not communicate with each other, but when it comes to the twenty-third case, you and I will make a whole moth with me, and I will not talk about the matter of using us to help you steal things, what is the matter with the yin man on the side of my Yuanshen? Is that what you're going to do in the Xuanyuan Society?
Hu Zongren especially emphasized the word "stealing", although it was me and Hu Zongren who stole things, but we were also instigated by the Xuanyuan Society to do so, and it was not instigated, it was simply to drive ducks to the shelves, and we had no choice. After speaking, Hu Zongren raised his head and shouted at the group of protégés behind Yao Lao Daoren who didn't seem to understand what was going on, look at JB! Think about what dirty things you Xuanyuan have done, follow such people to do your homework, you will be pulled into the water sooner or later, wake up early and get out!
Considering that I have to be cool at the moment, I didn't remind Hu Zongren to compare himself to himself again... Well... things.
At this time, that old Taoist Yao changed his face that had been unchanged a little. He said to Hu Zongren a little angrily, this is our Xiangtang Pure Land, you kid who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, don't be open-mouthed here. Steal something? Although my Xuanyuan Guild is not a great organization, it will not go to the point of stealing people's things! I warn you not to spew blood, what is there to scare my disciples here, and what is the situation of the Yin people on the side of your Yuanshen, I thought that you had handled more than 20 cases, and people should become more and more sophisticated, but I didn't expect you to start talking crazy, this is really unexpected.
Hu Zongren and the old Taoist Yao in front of him have an age difference of almost 30 years, but they all have powerful mouths, standing there openly and sarcastically, and refusing to give in to each other. But from the answer of this old Taoist Yao, it seems that he doesn't know about the Bronze Bone Duo and the Yin Man. But it's impossible, this guy is the big boss of the Xuanyuan Society, and no one dares to dare to do these things without him. Hu Zongren probably heard that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in what the other party said, but he didn't say it, but continued to point to the group of disciples behind Old Taoist Yao and said, this is the old Taoist priest you follow to learn the lesson, don't delay yourself, this old guy is full of nonsense, dare not do it, you have lived so many years, you are disrespectful to the old, and you are still quibbling in front of the juniors, you teach your disciples like this, and convince the gang like this?
Hu Zongren is right, the same phenomenon will occur in any size of social group. Even in the party, there are corrupt officials and clean officials, and why do you want to kill a boatload of people with a stick, saying that the people in this Xuanyuan Association are all traitors. I know that Hu Zongren of Lu Dao is deliberately provoking this old Taoist Yao, deliberately emphasizing his meanness, and asking him to justify his own name, so in this process, we can learn some inside information without asking questions at all. Sure enough, as soon as Hu Zongren finished saying these words, Yao Lao Daoist couldn't help it, maybe he was insulted and slandered by outsiders in front of many disciples, but none of these disciples dared to come up to help. Old Daoist Yao said angrily, what nonsense are you talking about! Although I Yao Daoshi has not been very virtuous and respected in my life, I have always done things above board, and the grievances between me and you are also because I see that you are a good talent, and I want to use some methods to keep you, and I have not done everything possible to calculate you, you say these words, but it is the biggest insult to me!
Old Daoist Yao was a little excited, and when he said these words, he was already a little angry. And everyone present, including Hu Zongren, did not continue to say anything, but just stood at each other.
