Chapter 131: Temple Debate

Wudang Mountain.

Li Xue'er raised her face and sighed, "Grandpa Li, this is Wudang?" ”

"Ang, follow me up the mountain." Li Qing turned over and dismounted, and tied the horse to a nearby wild tree, "Hurry up." ”

"Oh." Li Xue'er hurriedly learned how to tie him to the horse and asked, "Is it inappropriate for me to be like this?" ”

Li Qing glanced her up and down, and asked rhetorically, "It's good, what's wrong?" ”

"That's how I ...... How can there be a little bit of a daughter's home! Li Xue'er said whimsily, "It's a man to get out of it!" ”

"......," Li Qing said with a dark face, "I can't let you ruin the Dao heart of the junior disciples. ”

With Xiao Xue'er's appearance and figure, if she really went up the mountain in red makeup, who wouldn't be confused?

Taoist priests are first and foremost human beings, men, and secondly, Taoist priests, even a fly on the mountain is male, and a big beauty comes at once, where do they still have the heart to cultivate the Tao.

Human nature often can't resist challenges, Li Qingzi would not do such a thing, so Li Xueer was dressed as a man.

Three thousand green silk is hidden in a hat, a dark blue robe, a fake beard is glued to the lips and under the chin, the chest is wrapped inside, and even the face is processed with millet pulp, as long as you pay attention when speaking, you will not be easily recognized.

"You pick people, and you don't pick people, why do you care about this?" Li Qing snorted, "Be honest after going up the mountain, don't talk if you can, try not to speak." ”

"Grandpa Li, don't worry, I'm also a person who has traveled the rivers and lakes, and I won't show my stuffing." Li Xueer promised.

"It's pretty much the same, we don't have much time, you need to hurry." Li Qing said lightly, "This is your last chance." ”

Li Xue'er became nervous, "Grandpa Li, what if I still don't fall in love?" ”

"If that's ......" Li Qing spread his hands and said helplessly, "Then I can't help it, I won't feel a little guilty when you die alone in the future." ”

“…… You can do it. Li Xue'er puffed out her cheeks.

"Presumptuous!"

Li Qing's face sank, and Li Xue'er was immediately deflated.

Yuxuan who greeted Li Qing.

He is now the head of Wudang Mountain, as for Yuzhen...... Feathered.

Back Mountain Quiet Room.

After learning about the recent situation of Wudang Mountain, Li Qing said: "I am not staying for a long time this time, I haven't been here for a long time, come back to see you, and later, you inform the nine junior brothers who went down the mountain with me that I have something to explain to them." ”

Yu Xuan nodded lightly and sighed, "Senior brother, when will you be busy?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Yu Xuan smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, I am sixty-five years old, and I can't manage it for a few years!" ”

"Your body and bones are quite good, and it will not be a problem for ten or eight years."

"And then?"

"Then ......" Li Qing groaned and said, "Yuxuan, it's not that my senior brother is lazy, it's really ...... I will take care of Wudang Mountain, but, forget the head, I am really too busy. ”

Li Qing didn't want to be a Taoist priest in the mountains, leisurely all day long, and didn't ask about the world, but he had too much to give up.

Yu Xuan was disappointed, but he didn't force it anymore.

"That's... The junior brother chooses a successor. ”

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Li Qing apologized.

"Senior brother said this, and he will see the outside." Yu Xuan shook his head and said, "As a disciple of Wudang, and now he is the head of Wudang, this is the responsibility of the junior disciple." ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly and nodded: "Speaking of which, my senior brother is really incompetent. ”

"How can there be, if it weren't for you, senior brother, how could there be today's Wudang." Yu Xuan comforted, said, and looked at Li Xue'er, "Senior brother, is this ......?" ”

"A distant relative." Li Qing said, "The kind that surpasses the Nine Clans." ”

Li Xue'er: "? ”

Yu Xuan nodded and asked, "But like the nephew last time, sharpen it?" ”

"No, no, it's just to take him to the mountains to have a look and satisfy his curiosity." Li Qing didn't want her granddaughter to pick up dung.

For female babies, he prefers more.

Moreover, Li Xueer is not the successor of the Li family, so there is no need to be too demanding.

"That's it!" Yuxuan nodded and asked, "Do you want him to live with his junior disciples?" ”

"No, he lives with me." Li Qingdao said, "You go and inform me that from tomorrow onwards, I will preach the scriptures every day, and everyone will come." ”

"Yes, junior brother, I'll arrange it."

As a senior brother of Wudang, Li Qing's residence is still good, with a separate courtyard, a living room, a bedroom, and a quiet room.

Tea table, wardrobe, bookcase...... There is no shortage of everything, simple but not simple.

"It's been hard all the way, let's go to the bedroom to rest first, tomorrow I will give a lecture, all the disciples of Wudang will come, you can have a snack." Li Qing said as he walked towards the quiet room.

"Grandpa Li, wait a minute."

Li Xue'er held back her stomach and asked questions, eager to ask.

Li Qing stopped, "What?" ”

"Are you Senior Brother Wudang? Big brother for everyone? ”

"Isn't that what you saw with your own eyes?" Li Qing was strange.

"No, I mean they all know ......"

"They don't know!" Li Qing shook his head and explained, "I am a descendant disciple of Zhang Xianren, and it is very reasonable to be a senior brother." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Li Qing rolled her eyes, "Your mother saw my master when she was a child. ”

Li Xue'er was shocked: "My mother, she...... Have you ever seen Zhang Xianren? ”

"What's so strange about that?" Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Go and rest." ”

"That's an immortal, Grandpa Li, can you ......?"

"Get out!!"

"Hey." Li Xue'er smiled awkwardly, "Grandpa Li, you're busy." ”

In the middle of the afternoon, nine people gathered.

Li Qing said: "The smuggling over there in Liaodong is likely to resurge, I came here this time, mainly to tell you this, um......"

He is a little weak-hearted, the bitter cold places in Liaodong are even more difficult than the days on the mountain, and if he says a word, the little junior brothers will have to work hard for a long time.

"What do you mean, where are we going to look?" Daoyi took the initiative to speak up for him.

"Uh, yes." Li Qing nodded sneeringly, "Are you willing?" ”

"It's nothing, it's mainly ......" Daoyi scratched his head embarrassedly, "Senior brother, the road is far away, it's not realistic to walk on two legs, and it costs ...... all the way"

"That's not a problem." Li Qing immediately took out two thousand taels of silver tickets and said, "You can use these." ”

"This, that's too much, isn't it? There's no need for that. ”

"The poor get rich, and be prepared." Li Qing said, "I left this time to go to a far place, and I can't come back in the short term." ”

After a pause, he added: "Just follow the previous tactics, remember, the first element of doing good deeds is to keep yourself safe!" ”

He looked at the nine people and said, "I don't know what I can't do!" ”

"Yes."

The nine nodded.

Dao Jiu asked, "Senior brother, let's set off now, or wait to go down the mountain with you?" ”

"If you're not busy, go now." Li Qing said, "It's a long way to Liaodong, and if the other party really restarts the trade route, it's not too late to set off." ”

"yes, okay." Dao Jiu said, "Senior brother, I have no problem. ”

"I'm fine." Others say.

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, took out a booklet from his arms, and said, "Here are some of my cultivation experiences, you can read more in your spare time." ”

Then, he took out another porcelain vase, "This simplified version of the Heavenly Master Pill is also good for your cultivation of true qi, one grain per person." ”

Pure faith alone will eventually collapse, and you will have to pay for it.

The nine people were very motivated, went out of the quiet room, went to say goodbye to the master, simply packed their luggage, and went down the mountain on the same day.

Next.

Li Qing began to preach, and nearly 1,000 disciples of Wudang Mountain gathered and listened attentively.

What they don't know is that this is actually a large-scale 'blind date' scene.

Li Xue'er wandered around the crowd, looking at this, looking at that, as if she had completed a task, she didn't care at all.

Very bored......

However, she didn't dare to show it too obviously, for fear that Grandpa Li would beat her.

Capital.

Morning.

Zhu Youzhu sat on the dragon chair, staring at the spitting courtiers below, his brows furrowed, irritable, helpless, and angry.

This is a debate about the gains and losses of sailors' voyages.

The contestants, the six departments, the cabinet, and the 'little brothers' of both sides.

The Metropolitan Inspectorate rode on the wall, waiting for the change.

It's the end of the hour, and the discussion is still inconclusive.

However, Zhu Youzhu was not surprised, after all, ...... It's been arguing for days.

Xie Qian, then a member of the Cabinet and Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, suddenly snorted and said angrily: "What is there to discuss about this matter? ”

The quarrelsome hall fell silent.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang also stopped talking, looking at this colleague expectantly, waiting for his performance.

Xie Qian clenched his fists and arched upward, and said loudly: "In the past, Taizong ordered the Three Treasure Eunuchs to go to the West six times, and wherever I went to the Heavenly Empire, all the countries bowed down to the court, and all the countries came to the court, how prosperous!"

Today, if the emperor wants to emulate Taizong, what's wrong?! ”

"Seconded." Liu Jian immediately echoed and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, now that my Ming maritime trade is prosperous, it is even more necessary to demonstrate the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhou Jing, the head of the household, immediately retorted, "Is it important to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, or is it important for the people?" ”

Li Dongyang said lightly: "According to Zhou Shangshu's meaning, my Ming Dynasty doesn't even have the money for the sailor's voyage?" ”

"Didn't the official say that?"

"What does Zhou Shangshu mean?" Xie Qian chased after him.

"I ......," Zhou Jing snorted, "If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, do you know how much it costs?" ”

"At the end of last year, the taxes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were transported to Beijing, and the grain tax and commercial tax of these two provinces alone were busy for five days, and last month the Shen family in Baoding Prefecture paid 1.3 million taels of tax silver at a time, which is only half a year's tax burden."

How did he know...... Zhou Jing was shocked: Who leaked the news? Or is someone being turned against you?

Without waiting for him to refute, Xie Qian took advantage of the victory to pursue, and hummed:

"Don't you know how expensive firewood and rice are at home? Hehe...... Zhou Shangshu has a big breath, my family in the Ming Dynasty, it turns out that you are in charge! ”

Zhou Jing's face turned white, and he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Chen Wan doesn't have this heart, he and he, he slanders!" ”

Zhu Youjiao: "......"

Seeing that the cabinet had the upper hand by playing tricks, the six departments were busy counterattacking, and Ma Wen, the secretary of the military department, was promoted out of the class, and hummed:

"I have heard for a long time that I have heard that the scholars of Xie University have iron teeth and bronze teeth, and today I can be regarded as a teacher."

Xie Qian said indifferently: "Ma Shangshu has something to say, why hide a needle in his words?" ”

"Well said, then let's talk about something practical." Ma Wensheng smiled and arched his hand: "Dare to ask the emperor, it was the Three Treasures eunuch who went to the West six times in the past, who is it today?" ”
