Yinghua Zhenren's request was strange, and she told me that she would be invited to be the dean of East China Theological Seminary. And she wanted me to join me as the dean.

The East China Theological Seminary mentioned here is naturally not a church school located on Qingsong Road outside Qingpu District, Shanghai, but an adult educational institution affiliated with East China Normal University, a key comprehensive research university under the national "985 Project" and "211 Project". Its predecessor was a training institution for children like Wushan Reserve Training School.

However, since the name is East China Theological Seminary, the areas it covers include Hudu, Jiangyin, Zhehe, Anhuihuai, Jiangxi, Fujian, Ludong and Taiwan Province and other areas with the most economic and cultural development in China. It is a vocational education college. To be able to serve as the president of such an institution, the above expectations for Yinghua Zhenren are obviously very heavy.

I don't know how Yinghua Zhenren was invited to take such a position, but I also know that this should be one of the strategic steps of Maoshan Sect, if the influence of the Maoshan Sect can be spread through guò such an institution of teaching and educating people, and the East China Theological Seminary will be turned into a branch of the Maoshan Sect outside the mountain, and it will be made into the posture of the Whampoa Military Academy, then the influence of the Maoshan Sect above the court may be able to break the dominance of the Longhushan family and become a Taoist sect that competes with it.

Know it. This so-called East China source area includes the land of western Jiangxi where Longhu Mountain is located.

After all, I resigned from the General Administration, and I did have to let go of all my burdens and responsibilities, and I wanted to release my soul well, and take the path I wanted to go, unrestrained, free, but if I agreed to Yinghua Zhenren's request, I was afraid that I would be entangled in mundane affairs again, and I would not be pure.

Seeing that I was hesitant, Yinghua Zhenren said very seriously: "Zhicheng." Among the top ten elders of Maoshan. It's the lowest cultivation for me to fight with others, but since this matter has fallen on me, I must also do it well, but I, I, have been practicing in the secret realm of Maoshan for most of my life, and I have no foundation in the court, except for Ying Yan and Cheng Li, there are no capable cadres, think about it, and you are the most suitable, so this matter has found you, you see, can you help Uncle Shi? ”

I crossed my hands and said with a look of embarrassment: "It's not a question of whether to help or not, it's just ......"

I couldn't find a reason to prevaricate, just when I was worried, Yinghua Zhenren suddenly said solemnly: "Zhicheng, before this, I have already sent my apprentice Yingyan to Shanghai to perform his duties first, and then I will take people there, you really don't want to go with me?" ”

"Senior Sister Xiao Yan?"

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Yinghua Zhenren to go to East China Theological Seminary to take up a post, and actually took Xiaoyan Senior Sister with her, and sent her over in advance, thinking that no wonder I didn't see her all the way up the mountain just now, it turned out that it wasn't that she didn't know that I was coming and didn't come to take me, but because she was not in Maoshan, thinking of this, my previous frustration suddenly dissipated a lot, and a smile appeared on my face unconsciously, and then I heard Yinghua Zhenren suddenly say: "Zhicheng, I've always wanted to ask you something, What are you going to do with the matter between you and me? ”

Hearing Yinghua Zhenren's question, my brain was bumpy, and I didn't know how to answer her, and my face was at a loss.

This attitude caused a burst of atmosphere in Yinghua Zhenren, and he pointed to my nose and said: "Okay, you Chen Zhicheng, my heart belongs to you since I was sixteen or seventeen years old, and I have been in love with you for so many years, and for you as a guy, I have rejected countless karma and marriage proposals, including the enviable Ruyi Langjun, don't you have a little plan, haven't you ever thought about marrying her?" ”

I know that the matter between myself and Senior Sister Xiao Yan is not a secret in Maoshan, but it is somewhat embarrassing to be said in front of someone like this, but what is even more embarrassing is that I was pointed at by Senior Sister Xiaoyan's master, and I almost scolded me for being a thin lover, and I didn't dare to accept this charge at the moment, so I hurriedly waved my hand and said: "Senior Uncle Yang, this is not the case, there are many twists and turns, it's not that I don't want to marry Senior Sister Xiaoyan, but ......"

Speaking of the back, my words were blocked for a while, and I didn't know how to speak, but Yinghua Zhenren was already prepared, and said indifferently: "You mean that you are suffering from the eighteen tribulations?" ”

I looked up and said, "You know? ”

Yinghua Zhenren shook his head and sighed: "Knowing the apprentice Mo Ruoshi, Ying Yan has been in the business for more than ten years, what is she thinking in her heart, how can I not know?" But I didn't say it from the stubborn little guy, but I learned it from my brother in charge......"

I said sadly, "Uncle Shi, since you know, you should understand why I can't guard her side." ”

Yinghua Zhenren shook his head and said: "Zhicheng, I can understand your thoughts, you can't ask for it, the more you love, the more you can only look at each other from afar, for fear of hurting each other, but have you ever thought about a question, the so-called eighteen tribulations, I don't know the date, and I don't know when it will end, if you wait for another twenty years, the girl's Shaohua is fleeting, even if Ying Yan can learn my method of flower condensation true dew, I can keep my youth permanent, but my mind is old, so disappointed, do you think it's good?" ”

Indeed, two people who love each other can't be together, the gap between time and space has made me feel that my heart and Sister Xiaoyan are drifting apart, if we continue to be separated like this, it is difficult for me to imagine what the future of the two will look like.

I shook my head, and then said with a distressed expression: "I naturally feel bad, but I can't think of a better way than Senior Sister Xiao Yan being implicated in my death." ”

Speaking of this, Yinghua Zhenren's face showed a smile, and he said quite mysteriously: "This dead knot may not be able to be untied by my senior brother in charge, but in my opinion, it is not too troublesome, but for me, the risk that needs to be taken is too great, so I can't help you for no reason, no pay, no return, the world is so realistic, so you must promise me one thing, I can let you get what you want." ”

Hearing Yinghua Zhenren's affirmative words, I asked with some doubts: "Could it be that if I become the teaching director of East China Theological Seminary, you can help me solve this problem?" ”

She shook the dust in her hand and said incomprehensibly: "Of course not, you still have to try your best to help me, if you are half-hearted, how can I help?" ”

Yinghua Zhenren is my master's younger sister, one of the top ten elders of Maoshan, her temperament and conduct are noble, and her reputation in Maoshan is the best, I don't suspect that she is lying to me, but this happiness comes too quickly, and she is a little hesitant to say at the moment: "If this is the case, even if I try my best, I will help Uncle Shi you do this errand, but Uncle, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, you can't joke with me......"

Yinghua Zhenren's face became slightly stern, and he said to me seriously: "Don't worry, I will do what I say, and I will not lie about the life of my beloved apprentice." ”

After receiving such a positive reply from Yinghua Zhenren, I did not hesitate, but said firmly: "Okay, I promise you!" ”

After this errand of Yinghua Zhenren, I did not stay in Maoshan for a long time, and visited my master the next day, and informed him about the matter, when I learned of Yinghua Zhenren's words, the master did not deny its authenticity, but sighed for a long time, and said "silly child", I don't know whether he is talking about me, or Yinghua Zhenren, in short, he has no opinion on my upcoming appointment as the teaching director of East China Theological Seminary, and he does not even have too many instructions.

I can see that Master's affection is not high, and he is not very concerned about how to expand Maoshan's influence in the court, which is the ambition of the Maoshan Presbyterian Church.

I stayed in Maoshan for three days, eating and living with all the brothers and sisters I hadn't met for a long time, many people were very envious of me being able to go out, begging me to take them out to the outside world to "preach the scriptures", especially the little junior brother Xiao Keming, this kid's vision for the outside has reached a peak, has been pestering me, saying that he wants to go out of the mountain with me, but when I asked the master's opinion, he seemed very weak-hearted, and he talked about it left and right, which made me feel funny.

But even so, I haven't seen you for many days, this little junior brother really surprised me, and the progress is very godly, I have already heard a voice that names me and Fu Jun, as well as this little junior brother, as the three masters of Maoshan, saying that we will be the future figures of the Maoshan Sect, and the next master of Maoshan will probably come from the three of us.

For this statement, I know that although it is gossip, it is not without reason, but as an outer disciple, I am not a real Taoist priest, and I have been excluded, and the little junior disciple is undecided, too jumpy, and not suitable for this position, thinking about it, only Senior Brother Fu Jun can be qualified - just such rumors, could it be released by Senior Brother Fu Jun?

Thinking of this possibility, I couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement, thinking that it was really impossible.

Three days later, I said goodbye to my master and the elders, took the poor unclaimed child Dong Zhongming, and followed Yinghua Zhenren out of the mountain to the East China Theological Seminary in Shanghai, accompanied by several proud disciples of Yinghua Zhenren, and the hairy child I took up the mountain and fostered in Xiunu Peak.
