In the process of slowly pulling up the sluice, Ye Yunsheng explained to Ah Yu: "This is the entrance and exit of the mountain behind the Shangqing faction, so the village is here, there are many people who go out, and few people who enter. ”

Ah Yu asked curiously, "Then why did we go here?"

Ye Yunsheng said with a smile: "As far as the distance is concerned, we enter Bashan from Shudi, and it is much closer to the Shangqing faction to this entrance, and if we take the main gate, we will have to go around more than ten miles, almost around this peak." ”

The sluice has been pulled halfway through, and the passage has been released.

"And I'm a disciple of the Shangqing faction, whether it's the front door or the back door, it's just going home. Ye Yunsheng's words were relaxed, but his face was a little heavy. He jumped out of the carriage, walked over and pushed away the horse-rejection stake, and then drove the carriage into the cottage.

"Daddy, every time someone comes, they have to pull up that wooden raft, will those uncles who pull the wooden raft be very tired?"

"Look. He pointed to a winch behind the wooden wall, where two men dressed as quacks carried swords on their backs, and their hands were twisting the wooden handle of the turntable. "Just turn this, and the heavy wooden raft is hoisted. ”

When I entered the cottage, I saw a clearing, and the ground was dusty and muddy, which was caused by the frequent entry and exit of horse-drawn carriages to transport goods. On the left-hand side is a row of stables tied back and forth, with about eight or nine horses tied to both sides. On the right-hand side was a tea shop for guests, and two Taoists were sitting in it, watching impatiently as four or five men carried goods onto a carriage.

The whistle that Ye Yunsheng blew in front of him was the usual code for the green forests of Qianliba Mountain.

The door was opened and people were let in, and the reception steward was already standing by the side of the road, making a dignified bow.

Ye Yunsheng jumped out of the carriage and returned the salute to him.

The steward was taken aback when he saw Ye Yunsheng's return gift, and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?"

It turns out that the Taoist sects have their own true traditions, in addition to the Jianghu boxing ceremony, the bowing or bowing of the hand is all exquisite. For example, Ye Yunsheng did the arch just now, usually his elbows are level with his shoulders, but he sandwiched his elbows and became a small eight, in the Shangqing faction, this arch means "less than nine", and only the disciples of the Heavenly Master will perform this salute with others.

People in the same way, especially those who belong to a sect, see this and know that they are the descendants of the Heavenly Master.

Is this worth it?

The steward saw that the other party was quite unfamiliar, and thought that he was a master from the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain.

Ye Yunsheng knew that he wanted to be bad, and it was estimated that he was the manager who had been promoted in the past few years, and he didn't recognize this person.

"Under the Lower View Cloud Dao Chief's Seat, Ye Yunsheng. ”

The steward suppressed his surprised look and said humbly: "It turned out to be Daoist Ye, the villain was on duty at Lu Ziqi in the back mountain, and everyone who knew each other called Lu Laosan...... If the Taoist chief doesn't mind, he can also call the villain like this. ”

Ye Yunsheng heard what he said, he originally thought that he wanted to call him Lu Laosan, and he wanted to say that he was calling him, this is what he meant, and he secretly said in his heart that he had not come back for many years, and the steward under the sect became more and more clever, so he nodded and said: "I will take the little girl to see the master, and you will be asked to place this carriage for two days." ”

Lu Laosan responded, called a young man in a coarse linen shirt to come over, led the carriage away, and then said, "The villain will lead the way to the Taoist." ”

Ye Yunsheng carried two burdens, asked Ah Yu to follow, thanked Lu Laosan for his kindness, and said: "I have been studying art in the mountain since I was a child, this small sacred mountain and the flying peak are like my own home, why is it so troublesome?"

Lu Laosan had eyes, and he knew that he couldn't force it, so he bent over and saluted, and watched him take Ah Yu away.

Walking through this bazaar-like square in the wall, you will see the road up the mountain, two feet long and one foot wide stone steps, both sides are hillsides, the trees on the slope are cut down, with straight wood gravel Lei into a stone and wood wall, both sides cover the stone steps more than a zhang high. The whole is like a "concave" word, and only people need to be sent to guard it on both sides, and if you want to rush up from the mountain road, it will be like ascending to the sky.

Ah Yu tilted his head curiously, looking at the wooden houses on both sides, and the people walking outside, there were old people who set up tables and drank tea, children who were running around playing, women mending clothes, and scholars holding scrolls and reading silently.

Ye Yunsheng said: "Many people have lived here for many generations, and the people here are related to the Shangqing faction by blood, most of them worshiped the art of beginners when they were children, and their families are also considered members of the sect, and it is difficult to distinguish each other. ”

A few brokers walked down in front of him, carrying boxes in twos and threes.

He waited for these people to go down, and then said softly to his daughter: "There are also many people who come to do business, and the people here, including those in the sect, all have to eat, and they have to spend money to eat, where does this money come from? Most of them are made by trading with people in the rivers and lakes." ”

Ah Yu asked, "What kind of business are they?"

Ye Yunsheng picked some and said simply: "Medicinal herbs, talismans, Taoist mantras, swordsmanship moves, and methods of internal cultivation......

There are medicinal herbs planted by Taoist masters in the sect on the mountain, some of which are very precious, except for the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain, there are almost no other places. The martial arts cheats are basically in the name of the Shangqing faction, but they are just ordinary tricks, deceiving some ordinary and secular people, or those who have just entered the rivers and lakes for a long time.

There are some things he can't tell Ah Yu, such as the livelihood of the Shangqing faction in various places, from the humble Taoist temple to a salt village, a silk and satin factory, and a market in the city.

"Fifth Senior Brother, is that you?"

Ye Yunsheng glanced back, and a Taoist person was running up behind him.

Seeing his turned face, the Taoist said in surprise, "It's really you!"

"I heard from the two teachers and nephews that when they were loading goods in the walled gate, they saw that Lu Laosan was very respectful to a visitor, and only after asking did he know that Ye Yunsheng had returned. ”

He said hello, "What a coincidence, Thirteen Sons." ”

The Taoist looked happy and said, "Last year, the head of the sect proposed that the master give me the Dao name Changxing with 'Cloud Walking Rain Shi'. You can't call me by rank anymore!"

Ye Yunsheng smiled and saluted, and said, "The clouds are rainy, and the products are shaped." Congratulations to Senior Brother Changxingzi. ”

Chang Xingzi also smiled and said, "The master said three 'good' at that time!"

Ye Yunsheng said: "It's really good." He asked Ah Yu to make a gesture and called Uncle Shi.

Chang Xingzi was five years younger than him, but he looked like he was in his early twenties, and his face was kind. Seeing that Ye Yunsheng's daughter was ingenious, polite and upright, he was very happy, took out a talisman from his arms, put it in Ah Yu's hand, and said: "My uncle, I am the most useless of all, but this peace talisman has been used by me to induce qi for nine years with the Xuanji Pure Root Technique, and now it is originated, and it should be given to you." ”

"Yi" cloud: "The first accusation, repeated blasphemy, blasphemy, blasphemy." It means to be pious and persistent, and not half-hearted, dishonest and unbelieving.

"Nanhua Zhenjing" cloud: "The truth, sincerity is also." If you are not sincere, you can't move people. "It is better understood that people who are not sincere cannot move others, and sincerity is true to the extreme - it can also be understood that in order to become a real person, you must first be true.

A symbol, simply put, is nothing more than yellow paper, vermilion ink, pen ink; the so-called "a little spiritual light is a symbol", take the pen with a wave, others see that it is nothing more than that.

But the quality of a talisman, whether there is a god or not, depends on the sincerity and belief of the person who draws the talisman.

This talisman that uses the Xuanji Pure Root Recipe to induce qi for nine years, all people in the Taoist Gate are all regarded as treasures, and it is even more difficult to find them outside.

But Chang Xingzi said that he would send it...... No wonder it can be touched by the clouds and rain, and the word "line" in the shape of the product flow.

This is the edge of natural creation, although people are within the five elements, but not a trace of tacky.

While he was happy for his junior brother, he was ashamed of himself, and was about to stop it and let Ah Yu return it, when he saw Chang Xingzi's face suddenly sank and asked, "Where is your sword?"

Ye Yunsheng opened his mouth, and he couldn't say a thousand words for a while......
