Chapter 172: The Paper Spirit Ignites the Fire (Part II)
At this moment, my face is full of black and gray marks, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am unkempt, why am I so embarrassed every time I meet Xuan Hui?
When Xuan Hui saw me, her face did not show any different color, she made a mockery and said slowly, "Long time no see, senior brother." ”
I touched the ashes on my face, and also responded: "There have been a lot of trivial things at home these days, and I haven't been able to walk around with my senior brother, so don't blame my senior brother." ”
With that, I opened the door and invited Hyun Hui in.
Taoist priests have an unwritten rule - all those who are in the same door often come and go.
This rule has been handed down from hundreds of years ago, during the Tang Dynasty, the country was wide open, and religions from various countries flowed in, from Persianism to Nestorianism, countless religions were mixed. Although Taoism is a local religion, it is still inevitably suppressed by foreign religions, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty strongly promoted Buddhism.
Xuan Hui smiled and said softly: "Senior brother is busy for a while, of course I know it, how can I talk about blame?" ”
As soon as I looked up, I happened to meet Xuan Hui's gaze, which clearly contained deep meaning.
Xuan Hui continued: "I came here today, one is to visit my senior brother, and the other is to ......."
I wondered and said, "What is two?" ”
"The second is to help the senior brother repair the Taoist temple," Xuan Hui said firmly and calmly.
As soon as Xuan Hui's words came out, I knew that it was not good, and the matter of the Taoist temple had been revealed!
As the old saying goes, "Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles." "That's right, I tried my best to hide it, but in the end I didn't hide it.
But it doesn't matter, as the old saying goes, "Every family is ugly, and it's a good hand if you don't leak." ”
Tengger's entourage has had a qualitative change in my personality, not only learning to be in awe, but also learning to be calm.
I said calmly: "The Taoist temple has indeed been wronged, but it is no longer a big problem. Qingfeng Temple has been patronized by unpredictable people since it was built, which is nothing for a century-old Taoist temple, and the senior brother must not worry about it. ”
This is a good thing to say, it is a broken tooth and swallowed in the stomach, it is not good, it is pure forcible pretense.
But Xuan Hui still insisted: "Senior brother, don't you see Xuan Hui as an outsider? I am also the head of a party, and I naturally have a number of efforts and expenses to build a Taoist temple. Your manpower is definitely not enough. ”
I must have a bottom line in this matter, if the master knew that I had invited other Taoist temples to help, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood.
After being in charge for half his life, the Taoist temple left by the ancestors was destroyed in his own hands, destroying the ancestral property, and he was guilty of no teeth.
What is it called? It's called bare grinding - it's a shame to turn around.
This red line must never be crossed.
Thinking of this, I said with confidence: "Senior brother, I have received this heart, as far as the current point of view, I can still cope with it, if one day, I really can't cope with it, I will ask for the Taoist brother's disciple, at that time, the senior brother can reach out and pull a hand!" ”
Xuan Hui looked at me for a while, smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
In fact, I am indeed grateful to Xuan Hui, and I personally came to me and took the initiative to lend a hand, which is love.
But I really can't cross the red line, this is a principle, the two are not violated, let alone contradictory, and learning to distinguish clearly is not a bad thing.
At this time, Xuan Hui took out a golden invitation card from his arms and handed it to me.
The gilded invitation is printed with huge gossip and three traditional characters of "Daomenghui" written on it.
I was stunned for a moment, took the invitation, and asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”
Xuan Hui laughed and said: "The Taoist friends of the world are one family, and the poor Daote has established a new organization called the Dao League, which is conducive to academic exchanges among various families and promotes Taoist doctrine. ”
That's it, Xuanhui said a little seriously: "Xuanmen, it shouldn't be Confucianism, it should be a hundred schools of thought, and you can only see it when you go out." ”
Xuan Hui suddenly saluted with both hands, and said loudly: "Poor Dao is looking for the east, south, west, and north four elephant helmsmen, three days later, in the opening ceremony of Ju'an Temple, all kinds of capable people gathered, elected helmsmen, senior brother is smart and witty, honest and reliable, I hope you can be there." ”
I hurriedly shirked and said, "Senior brother has loved, I know how many catties and taels I have." This should not be hasty. ”
The experience of growing up has led to my current low self-esteem and cowardice, which will not change for a lifetime, and even after going through so many things, I still have little confidence in myself.
Seeing that I shirked, Xuan Hui continued: "Senior brother, don't be arrogant, natural selection, survival of the fittest, if you don't try, how do you know that it won't work?" ”
I also replied: "Senior brother raises love, but I already have a teacher, and I must not casually act like other sects, this is a rebellion." ”
Xuan Hui smiled heartily: "Of course I know, but the Dao Alliance is not a sect, it is just a neutral organization, and senior brother doesn't have to mind." ”
I was about to speak, but Xuan Hui was the first to interrupt: "Three days later, the Dao Alliance will open the ceremony, senior brother must not be absent." ”
