Chapter 179
"Coach ......"
Seeing that the queen had been taken back by the emperor to see her parents, their group of Taoist priests naturally had to go back to their respective homes.
Ignoring the small movements in other people's hearts, a middle-aged Taoist came to Zou Shide, who had never made a sound, and whispered, "Now that the queen has left, it is time for us to leave and return to the palace." ”
"Hmm......" Zou Shide responded, and then let his disciple help him up, waved the dust and walked slowly in front of everyone, and left after saluting.
"Zou Dao is long and slow!" the upright Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but shout.
"Why did the Heavenly Master call Lao Dao?"
"This ......" Zhang Tianshi looked around in silence, only felt that this was really not a good place to talk, and only said, "You and I are the heads of the two sects, but it is rare to see each other, since we meet today because of the royal meeting, why not stay in Kyoto for a few more days to talk about friendship?"
"The head of the two sects......" Zou Shide let out an inexplicable chuckle, he said, "Another day, if the Heavenly Master still remembers, come to the Baiyun Temple in Jingshan to find the poor Dao, although the old Taoist priest is useless, but the tea is still prepared!"
"Then please also ask Daoist Zou to have a good rest after leaving, and Poor Dao will visit ...... soon," Zhang Tianshi said.
What Zhang Ziyao said today really made him hold back the fire in his belly, and what made him even more dissatisfied was that as a person on the same front as himself, Zou Shide didn't say anything at all, and obviously directly intervened in their interests...... It's not, isn't it illegal!
When will the royal family have nothing to do with the religious law? They are not a cult and have not broken the law, the royal family, no matter how powerful the royal family is, it can't be like this!
Aren't they all constitutional now!
Zhengyi Quanzhen is such a big sect, it is strange that it is all clean, what age is it, and let their nominal head of the sect to help rectify it, they have long since lost such rights......
Isn't that for them to offend people!
The royal family wants to use him Zhang Maode as a gunman, and also interfere in his family's affairs, he is really stupid!
"You guys should go back sooner, royal place...... It's not good to stay for long. Zou Shide said this indifferently, and didn't look at Zhang Maode, who had already suppressed his thoughts, and went back with his disciples and grandchildren.
"Sect ......Leader" Zou Shide's disciple Zhao Jingtong called out quite worriedly after returning to Baiyun Temple, and his voice was unconsciously lowered, "Sect Leader, if you really follow what the queen said, then the incense money of our palace will be less......"
Zou Shide casually threw the dust on the table, and stuffed himself into the padded chair, "Money, money, people who cultivate the Tao, all of them have fallen out of their eyes! It's no wonder that you haven't even been able to cultivate a little strength for so many years!"
Zhao Jingtong's face flushed when he was told by his master, and he sighed guiltily, "But ...... But in this situation, how can cultivation be done easily, master, you often say, the world is dirty, the avenue is hard to find, this is ......"
"Master, look, if there are many Taoist sects today, and your head teacher is only a name, where can you really control people? Our own Taoist temple is fine, there is no such thing as cheating people out of money and messing around with people, but other people's families are secretly ...... The decoration of the palace view costs money, and the younger brothers and sisters in the temple also have to eat and use it, so how can we do it without money? We listen to your teachings, abide by the rules and precepts, and live a hard life. In the last two years, the wind of heavy occultism has risen, and it has only been a little better......"
Zou Shide couldn't be clear about the situation around him, but he couldn't tell his apprentice directly that there were still people in the world who had real skills, and they were by no means more than at his level, but in the end, he could only sigh and tell him, "Keeping to yourself will always have a good result." ”
"The disciple understands! It's just that people's hearts are complicated, and the disciple's cultivation is not deep, so it is inevitable that he will live up to the master's teachings......
"Just do it. Zou Shide said reluctantly.
His apprentice is good everywhere, but he is too honest, he can listen to a few words of anyone he says, and he often listens to himself confused.
But if he didn't have his own thoughts, it was impossible, after all, their Taoist temple was watching him preside!
Thinking of this, Zou Shide didn't bother to worry about his disciple's problems, as long as he could defend himself on big issues.
He looked at Zhao Jingtong and asked, "You also saw the appearance of that Zhang Tianshi today, look at him, how is he?"
Zhao Jingtong struggled for a while before he picked up words and replied: "This Zhang Tianshi...... He is a blessed man!"
Zhengyi faction and Quanzhen Sect as the two representatives of the world's Taoism, their own branches are complicated, there are many sects, there are mixed good and mixed bad, in contrast, it is difficult to find people's hearts, when the imperial court has not carried out the reform of the law, but it has been fighting wantonly by virtue of the identity of outsiders, not to mention that after Liang Qin replaced the Zhu Ming court, because he did not like those things that Emperor Zhu cultivated and practiced Xuanjiao pills to death, so the management of religion has also been improved......
"Yes, yes, he, he is blessed, but it's a pity that it's hard to buy a lot ......of money to be old and thin," Zou Shide sighed, waved his hand, and let Zhao Jingtong go back to his room.
Zou Shide stayed alone, suddenly adjusted his luck, and suddenly raised his hand to slap the table, directly slapping the table into a corner.
"I think the old Taoist priest has been cultivating for so many years, and he can only bully the wooden table...... O patriarchs of the past generations, it is true that I still hope for dreams! The day of the revitalization of my Daomen...... I don't know if the old Taoist priest can see ......," he muttered to himself.
"Interesting, interesting. Daoist Fang occupied Liang Ze's seat and sat opposite Zhang Ziyao, telling her his opinion on what had just happened between the heads of the Dao sects.
"I know they're in turmoil, but I didn't expect that now those bull-ear bearers are about to degenerate into bullwhip-bearers. ”
Zhang Ziyao complained while appeasing the aggrieved emperor's husband who was bullied by his own master: "It's not because of the sins of you people, obviously some people can be regarded as their own apprentices, but they don't react to them at all. It's to blame that they didn't grow up......"
Fang Daochang laughed, "What kind of reaction do you want, the ancients have a good saying, called 'Gentleman's Ze, cut in the fifth generation', not to mention our group of monks who are still crawling in the world? If you care about the life and death of the Dao system, it should also be those ancestors who have become immortals......, right? Hehe, I still want to live and continue to find ways to prolong my life, and if I want to be more stable, I will live in seclusion and not ask about the world, do what I have to do, and do anything else!"
The more advanced the monk's cultivation, the more he will understand the rules of the operation of all things in this heaven and earth - rise and fall, victory and defeat are common things, and a glimmer of vitality also exists in it.
But the more this happens, the more careful the monks need to be when they do their work -- who knows what kind of cause and effect will be entangled if you intervene! The rise and fall of the world is a mortal business, so what are the monks going to do? Just watch carefully.
