Chapter 250: A Short Retreat
On the way back, He Kaishan seemed very cautious, sitting next to Li Chengjing, only the sound of wheels turning in his ears, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
Although he had been with Li Chengjing for a period of time before, the two sides were not superiors and subordinates, just acquaintances.
But now, what is different between him and Li Chengjing is the servant-master relationship on the surface.
Li Chengjing didn't see any expression on his face, but he was very focused, and he was looking through the fragment of "Taiping Qing Lingshu" presented by He Kaishan all the way.
Li Chengjing can see that this book should be recompiled by later generations, not the original "Taiping Sutra".
Regardless of whether the great sage and good teacher were evil or not, the "Taiping Sutra" written by him is indeed a righteous scripture.
Therefore, after the Taiping Dao was jointly cleared by the mountains and the mountains, the Taiping Sutra was included in the sect by many Taoist sects and was regarded as a model by many people.
There are also many people who have attained the Tao to recompile the Taiping Sutra, delete or add some things, and turn it into the famous "Taiping Qing Lingshu" on the mountain.
Li Chengjing has always wanted to read this book, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to see it.
I didn't expect to get a glimpse or two from such a chance.
Li Chengjing looked at it very carefully, but in the end he shook his head regretfully.
He Kaishan saw Li Chengjing's regretful expression, and asked carefully, "My lord, but there is a problem with this scripture?" β
Li Chengjing put down the book and said with a smile: "Although I accepted you, I only accepted you as a subordinate, you are not my servant, you don't need to call me an adult." If you think it seems raw to call me a recruiter, you can call me Mr. β
He Kaishan immediately exclaimed happily: "Sir! β
"Hmm!" Li Chengjing picked up the book and said: "This half of the scriptures is indeed genuine, but it is a pity that it has been modified by later generations, not the original "Taiping Sutra". It's a pity. β
He Kaishan naturally didn't understand.
Li Chengjing continued: "Since you have followed me, I think you have to rely on the road of recruiting officials to find a way to the mountain for yourself. In fact, you don't have to do this, although this scripture is a fragment, it is enough for you to really set foot on the mountain, and the spells and talismans recorded in it can also give you a power of self-preservation. β
"Fortunately, this is not the Taiping Sutra, you cultivate the Taiping Qing Collar Book, and you don't have to worry about being regarded as an evil demon by the Xuan Xiu on the mountain."
He Kaishan was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.
"Don't thank me, this is originally your thing, I will simply guide you to practice in the future, but practice is to seek the Tao, and learning is the foundation after all, you have to read more books in the future, so as not to get good Taoist scriptures in the future, but you can't read them."
He Kaishan's face blushed and bowed his head in shame.
"The Zhaoguan Party is still short of a pawn, so you can do this errand in the yamen in the future. Now I'm often not in the recruitment office, so I'll leave it to you to take care of it. Yizi City is a desert of Xuanxiu, and the Zhaoguan Mansion is naturally less leisurely, which is suitable for your cultivation. β
He Kaishan was very moved, and Li Chengjing was very thoughtful for him.
But he thought in his heart: "What His Holiness said is really right, this Mr. Li is really magnificent, and when he gets this kind of Xuanzong Sutra, he has no greedy thoughts at all, but will give it to himself again." If it weren't for the fact that he had already joined the church, I am afraid that he would have been impressed by his character. β
After a few words of encouragement, Li Chengjing continued to read the scriptures.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that the hidden thoughts in the scriptures are extremely profound, and they are faintly in line with my own way.
This is still after being tampered with by later enlightened people.
If it is the original Taiping Sutra, it should be more suitable for yourself.
But it's right to think about it, the more ancient Taoist scriptures are, the more in line with the way of heaven.
The ancients sought the way of heaven, got the truth, were impartial and selfless, and heard the Tao, and died at night.
Nowadays, cultivators, due to various reasons, have absorbed a large number of humanity from the Heavenly Dao, which makes the scripture ideas very different from the ancient scriptures.
The same is true of the Xuandao sect on the mountain, which is far away from the world.
In a simple sentence, the current Taoist scriptures emphasize humanity and ignore the way of heaven, which is no longer commendable.
And the ancient scriptures, emphasizing the way of heaven and ignoring humanity, can be called the way of enlightenment.
Just like this Taiping Sutra, it is a typical ancient Taoist Sutra.
Taiping Dao worships Lao Tzu and worships the Yellow Emperor, in a vain attempt to humane the truth of heaven, so that the world is peaceful and everyone is rich and healthy.
Although the thinking is too comical and absurd, in Li Chengjing's view, Taiping Dao's understanding of the way of heaven is still very exquisite.
It's just that it's the wrong way.
Taiping Dao believes that the heaven is the way to act, the earth is the home, and all things are born together, there is nothing to hide, and there is no selfishness.
If a person makes a mistake, it is because he has disobeyed the way of heaven, which is a disease and can be cured.
Li Chengjing didn't know why the Heavenly Master Dao, who had already comprehended the Heavenly Dao, had entered such an extreme.
But the Taiping Dao has been extinct for thousands of years, and it is useless to think about it now.
However, although the Taiping Dao has gone to extremes, the idea of equality for all people in it has indeed won the essence of the Heavenly Dao.
Even in the later thousands of years of history, there were often civil uprisings and rebels, all of whom borrowed the ideas of Taiping Dao to deceive people.
After returning to the county seat, Li Chengjing took He Kaishan to the official's room to handle the paperwork, and then arranged for him to live in the Zhaoguan Mansion.
After all, his current house is really not suitable for living people.
He Kaishan is just a miserable corpse fisher who cultivates in the refining realm, living there by himself, let alone cultivating, it is not easy to live well.
With He Kaishan sitting in charge of the recruitment party every day, he can be regarded as a real recruiter, and he is no longer a good person.
It's not that he didn't think about using the horse disciple to fill the faΓ§ade, but when he thought of the identity of the horse disciple, in order not to affect the future, he has always only let the horse disciple contribute as the recruited traveling Xuan Xiu, instead of being included in the recruitment party to help himself.
However, when He Kaishan entered the Zhaoguan Mansion and saw the silk, he was still taken aback.
He has been following Li Chengjing's side, watching Li Chengjing surrender Jiaolong, and knows that the beautiful woman in front of him is actually a female Jiao.
"It's worthy of Mr., he really ambushed a dragon as his personal maid!"
He Kaishan was greatly impressed.
And then hide away.
Mu Jiao is willing to surrender to Li Chengjing, but it doesn't mean that the other party will give him a good face, in case he angers the other party, He Kaishan is really worried that he will be slapped into meat by Mu Jiao, no matter how Li Chengjing punishes Mu Jiao, he will die if he dies, and those have no meaning for himself after death.
For this, He Kaishan is very clear.
Li Chengjing saw all this in his eyes and was very satisfied with He Kaishan's cleverness.
After arranging He Kaishan, Li Chengjing took the silk to the torture room, and on the way saw Wang Fugui leaving the yamen with a lonely face, and when he found Li Chengjing, he also looked at Li Chengjing with very hateful eyes.
With a raised brow, Li Chengjing called Zhen Jinyan, who was watching the excitement at the door, to his side, pointed to Wang Fugui's back and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Zhen Jinyan said with a smile: "Back to Zhaoguan, isn't this the document of the imperial court to remove his son's fame?" The county zun deliberately revealed the news, and he ran over in a hurry. β
"Are you going to continue to save his son?"
Zhen Jinyan said with a smile: "What's this, this is not a sentence from the county honor." However, if you want the county to speak, it depends on whether his silver can open the county lord's mouth. I heard that the Wang family has been selling their shop properties recently, and they have been blocked by other families, which is very miserable. β
Li Chengjing shook his head, he could only say that this Wang Fugui was really stupid.
With his own power, the other party's handle fell into the hands of Dai Mao again.
If it was ordinary, Dai Mao would naturally not touch him and offend the local gentry and landlords.
But now that he has the handle in Dai Mao's hands, even without Li Chengjing, Dai Mao can't let him go like this.
Seeing that the other gentry have no room for it, they will naturally not be so united, but will fall into the well, take the opportunity to devour the Wang family's industry and strengthen themselves.
The most sensible and appropriate way is not to desperately save his son, but to give up directly.
Ignoring these things, Li Chengjing would not care about a mortal's grudge, and after a few words of instructions from Zhao Longhu, Li Chengjing returned directly to his home.
After reading the Taiping Qing collar book, Li Chengjing had a certain understanding of cultivation and needed to meditate.
Although the Great Dao of Enlightenment cannot directly improve cultivation.
However, it can make you understand the true meaning of the Tao better, make the power of the Tao stronger, and make it easier to practice.
It's even easier to create new Dao techniques.
Moreover, after reaching the realm of heaven, it is no longer a simple penance, you can break the mirror, and you also need to have a certain understanding of the Tao, otherwise the realm is almost locked and it is difficult to advance an inch.
There is no time in the mountains, but there are thousands of years in the world.
It is a state of monk's cultivation.
When Li Chengjing woke up again, it had been more than half a month.
As soon as Li Chengjing walked out of the room, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, this is an invitation sent by the county honorable." β
Li Chengjing took it and was immediately happy.
It turned out that this Dai Mao finally had a queen, and one of his concubines was pregnant, so she specially held a family banquet and wanted to feast Li Chengjing.
It's just that Li Chengjing was in retreat before, and he was pushed over by the silk, saying that he would wait for Li Chengjing to come out.
Li Chengjing put the invitation aside and asked, "In addition to this incident, what other major events have happened recently?" β
Qianxi thought for a while and said, "That Bao Jiaxian said that when he went out to play, he could contact him through the disciple of the horse if he had something." In addition, the case of Wang Qing's framing of Niu Tu has been settled. Dai Xianzun sentenced Wang Qing to exile for 3,000 miles. β
"What's more, recently, the silk found that outside Yizi City, the yin qi gathered inexplicably, attracting many ghosts to run rampant, but there were already disciples who came out of the horse to make a move, and there was not much trouble. But it looks like that, it seems that there are profound ghosts practicing spells, and the master must be on guard. β
The silk said one thing after another, without noticing that the current self has done all this very naturally, without the slightest rejection before.
Some people died, but not completely......
