"Okay, you know what you should know, and you get what you deserve. It's time for you to get out of here. The old Taoist priest squatted on the stone handrail on the edge of the cliff and gave the order to evict the guests.

"What's the matter, how many more days do I want to stay here? Why did you, the host, not follow the way of hospitality well, and let us go? The old blind man said.

The old Taoist priest jumped down from the stone handrail, and his cloth shoes touched the ground, as if a gust of wind blew and fell to the ground without the slightest sound.

The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You still want to live here, and let the poor Taoist disciples and grandchildren give you a pension and send you to the end of your life?" Besides, don't you have a lot of things to deal with? ”

The old blind man knew the old Taoist priest's temperament very well, so he simply stopped going around in circles with him, and asked bluntly: "Say, what is the matter?" Rest assured, I will never interfere. ”

After getting the promise of the old blind man, the old Taoist priest showed a triumphant smile, slapped the old blind man's back fiercely with his hand, and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that there is a prince who wants to go up the mountain to ask for a signature." ”

"Which prince is it?" The old blind man restrained his smile and asked coldly.

The old Taoist priest was very embarrassed, with a sad face, and it took a long time before he could hold back the sentence: "This... This one... It's the Four Princes. After saying this, the old Taoist stomped his feet with some annoyance, and asked anxiously: "Can you let him go this time, although I hate this person very much, but if something happens to him in my Qingcheng Mountain, it will not be easy to fool the past, and now there are not a few people standing on his side in the government and the opposition." ”

The old blind man replied expressionlessly: "Don't worry, I still have this bit of proportion." It's just that now I don't understand why this old man came to your Qingcheng Mountain to recruit people to join the army. Besides, the one sitting on the dragon chair today is the Lord of the Buddha and the Light Dao, and the idea of normal people should be to first pull the group of monks from Wutai Mountain into the army, so as to please the old emperor. No matter what, I won't be in a hurry to come to you first, right? ”

In fact, the old Taoist priest is also confused, since the Buddha of the Western Regions introduced Buddhism to the Central Plains, temples have sprung up in various places like mushrooms after a rain, and the emperor's practice of often going in and out of Wutai Mountain is to let countless dignitaries and nobles scramble to follow suit, and gradually the practice of the scholar and doctor class has also radiated to the homes of ordinary people, and the Buddhism that came to the top has been faintly and Confucianism and Taoism in today's Xia Kingdom. However, from the perspective of the royal family alone, Buddhism still has to be put in the first place.

The little mute expressed his opinion: "Master, senior, I heard a lot of rumors about these four princes when I was working in the restaurant, the biological mother of these four princes is a noble Qi, and her reputation in the palace is not high, so at first this prince was not conspicuous among many princes, but in recent years, the four princes have shown a lot of pressure on other princes." ”

"For example, three years ago, there were thieves burning and looting in the eastern coastal areas that had plagued the emperor for a long time, and the imperial court also sent a lot of troops to encircle and suppress them, but the effect was very small. The forces of those thieves are intricate, they are pervasive in all directions, and they are familiar with the terrain, as soon as they see the officers and soldiers coming, the thieves will have long since disappeared. Faced with this situation, the fourth prince, who was nineteen years old at the time, proposed to distribute weapons to the local peasants, send martial artists to train them, and pay them monthly according to the salary of our soldiers. These people are soldiers when they take up arms, and they are farmers when they pick up farm tools, and now a few years have passed, and the number of thieves in the eastern coastal areas has decreased a lot. ”

The old blind man listened and sneered: "Even though he is omnipotent, but his approach really makes me unhappy, what do you say about working with the demon clan to destroy Huaguo, and then share the world with the demon clan?" What kind of goods the demon clan is, these young people don't know, but I saw it with my own eyes, when I was young, I passed through a small town, the town was invaded by the demon clan not long ago, and the town was full of corpses, and countless people were even dried into dried meat by the demon clan as reserve food. How dare such a ferocious race hand over their backs with confidence? ”

The old Taoist priest sighed faintly and said: "The Great Dao is trending, now the human race is divided, the demon race is dominant, it is impossible to compete with the demon clan with the power of Xia Country alone, and the situation of the human race commanding all races in the past is long gone, and his practice is nothing more than a move to protect himself." ”

The old blind man was very excited, blushed and said, "your fart!" If he is really made the emperor, then not only the Xia Kingdom or the Hua Kingdom, but also the human race may be wiped out. If you think about it, in the primeval period, the human race has always been enslaved by the demon race, after thousands of years, the two races continued to fight, and finally the human race stood up, defeated the demon race, occupied the land of Middle-earth, and exiled the demon race. At this time of life and death, if you don't stand up and resist them, but grovel as a weapon for them to sweep away the human race? ”

"That's right, but you can't be too extreme, once you make a move, those people will appear." The old Taoist priest persuaded.

The old blind man calmed down and replied: "Don't worry, I said that I won't do it, so I won't do it, and the juniors' affairs will be left to the juniors to solve by themselves, if they can't solve it, I will help them solve it when the time comes!" After saying this, the little mute faintly heard the sound of the sword, and his master's words and deeds seemed to be closely related to the way of the sword.

A noise not far away interrupted their conversation, and the old blind man took the little mute to hide in the side hall, which was in an excellent position to see the outside, but the outside really couldn't see the inside.

Outside the door, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a mediocre appearance led the three to the outside of the Changdao Temple, and after the middle-aged Taoist priest brought the three to the place, he didn't pay much attention to them, but saluted directly to the old Taoist: "I've seen the ancestor!" ”

The old Taoist priest straightened his waist and his face was peaceful, at this moment he really looked like a master outside the world, transcendent and mundane.

The old Taoist priest nodded, turned his head to look at the three guests, and the leader should be the four princes, this person has a handsome face, dressed in gorgeous clothes, always with a smile on his face, and seems to have a good temper, but the majesty of the superior exuded by his body still makes people dare not approach. Standing on his right hand was a tall Confucian scholar, unsmiling. On the left-hand side is a middle-aged man, carrying a bamboo basket full of weapons, but it looks like a man walking the rivers and lakes.

When the four princes came here, they respectfully saluted the juniors and said, "Daoist Ling Xiaozi, the juniors want to ask you for a signature." ”

The old Taoist priest kept smiling and said, "I don't know what kind of sign His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince wants to ask for?" ”

"Qingcheng Mountain!" The fourth prince also smiled, and took a few steps forward, narrowing the distance between him and the old Taoist.

The old Taoist priest made a helpless look, and sighed long: "Your Highness, you are embarrassed by the poor Dao, the poor Dao has been practicing here since he was a child, and he has seen many people who ask for a signature, but what they ask for is nothing more than marriage, financial resources, and official careers, but no one has ever asked the poor Dao to sign." ”

The fourth prince still smiled and continued to ask, "Do you have a way to answer the doubts in the heart of this palace?" ”

The old Taoist priest pondered for a long time, and then said: "Your Highness, there is a habit of poor Taoist divination, you have to ask the person seeking the hexagram first, and you have to look at the whole picture of the place first. Poor Dao has lived in Qingcheng Mountain for so many years, and he really doesn't know the whole picture of Qingcheng Mountain. ”

The fourth prince nodded and said: "Just because I am in this mountain, my predecessors might as well go out of the mountain with me, you can know the whole picture of this mountain, no, not only that, a continent, a country, you can see the mountains and rivers in one day." ”

The old Taoist priest waved his hand: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, it's just that Poor Dao is already a person who has half of his body in the ground, and he can't walk." ”

Seeing that the old Taoist priest was so ignorant of lifting, the strong man stepped forward in two steps, wanting to kick the old Taoist priest over.

This kick is menacing and extremely fast.

As a result, the speed of stopping is also very fast.

The middle-aged Taoist priest on one side held the green worm sword, and with a wave of his hand, the sword body was separated and scattered into hundreds of copper coins, flying towards the strong man.

The old Taoist priest and the four princes did not stop them, on the one hand, they were guarding the mountain gate, and on the other hand, they were maintaining the dignity of the royal family.
