Chapter 33: Going Out (1)
Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, Ma Ping asked calmly:
"Presumably, there won't be only these many benefits, what does the Dao Sect need me to do, can you tell you about the Floating Cloud Dao?"
The people of Fuyun Dao nodded secretly, their minds were calm and composed, and they were worthy of being valued by the Crane Heart Dao Chief, so they explained:
"Nature is also obliged"
"Every three years, Taoist friends must go to the state city to guard the Taoist station for half a year"
"Oh?"
Seeing that Ma Ping was puzzled, Fuyun Dao people smiled and said:
"Do you have doubts?"
Ma Ping bowed his hand slightly, and asked:
"I do wonder if this is the case with everyone who joins the Taoist sect?"
The Fuyun Daoist smiled slightly, shook his head and said:
"Naturally not" paused slightly, and then said:
"The people next to him are not so relaxed, it is the Crane Heart Dao who sees that the Purple Mountain View is not on the right track, so he has such preferential treatment" The people of Fuyun Dao looked envious:
"Do you still have doubts?"
Although there were still some doubts in my heart, I didn't want to ask any more questions, so I shook my head:
"It's Nothing"
The Fuyun Daoist nodded, and then said:
"Well, you can know it in your heart."
"By the way, June this year is the time for Daoyou to get started, don't be wrong"
Ma Ping nodded when he heard this:
"Thank you for your advice."
"Hahaha~" Fuyun Dao people shook their heads and smiled:
"You're welcome!"
The people of Fuyun Dao wanted to return to the city before it was dark, so they left early.
Ma Ping got up and walked outside the door and instructed the boy:
"Tong'er, go and call the prison"
"Yes, Lord"
Soon, I saw Lao He walking over quickly, standing under the stage and arching his hand to Ma Ping:
"The Viewer"
"En" Ma Ping nodded slightly:
"Come in!" turned around and walked into the house, Lao He hurriedly followed.
Without sitting down, Ma Ping took out the red and dripping degree disc, and said directly:
"You go to the county seat tomorrow, take this to see the county order"
Lao He took the jade slip with both hands and asked suspiciously:
"Lord, what is this?"
Ma Ping Road:
"It is an identity jade slip, with which there are 500 acres of farmland, and five households can be exempted from forced labor."
Lao He was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly held the jade slip, and said with a smile:
"Yes, Lord, I will set off early tomorrow morning, and I will definitely get things done" took the jade slip and looked left and right, and was amazed:
"With this, the view can be regarded as having a foundation!"
Ma Ping smiled slightly, asked Lao He to put away the jade slip, and asked about the situation of the new recruits in the view.
Speaking of this, Lao He was in a perked mood, nodded and said:
"Now it's on the right track, as long as it is maintained in the future, it can be turned into a foundation"
"That's fine," Ma Ping asked again.
"Has the Ming Fa learned all the basic classics?"
Lao He was slightly stunned, only to understand that the Lord Guan asked his named disciple, so he nodded and said:
"I taught both morning and evening classes, because Master Mingfa had read books before and learned very quickly."
"Now he is the one who is going to school with the other boys"
Ma Ping nodded when he heard this.
If you want to practice Taoism, you must first learn Taoist scriptures.
The first is to hone the mind, and the second is to accumulate the foundation, otherwise you can't even understand the exercises, what kind of Taoism do you practice?!
Now it seems that he has learned quite well, and at this pace, he can teach him the Fa before he goes to the Taoist sect.
With a knowing in his heart, he commanded:
"That's fine, you have to keep an eye on his homework, don't slacken"
Lao He bowed down and said:
"Yes, Lord"
......
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was a month.
In March, the weather warms up and the snow melts away.
The vegetation in the mountains flourished again, and clumps of birds and finches gathered together to chirp.
People come and go in the Taoist temple, so it's not lively.
In the past month, he first received back 500 acres of Daotian from the county government.
Then two more families were recruited, and a total of four households were recruited before to become Guanli Yin households, which were exempted from forced labor and taxes.
It didn't prosper for a while, and since then it has a foundation, and it is no longer as dependent on the worship of believers as before.
On the other hand, the Ming Law boy passed the assessment and was formally taught by Ma Ping, and the Dharma lineage in Guanzhong was also passed on.
Everything is set on the foundation, and then it is accumulated, and the foundation will naturally break into a butterfly one day!
On this day, Ma Ping summoned Lao He and Mingfa Tongzi.
Lao He is in front, Ming Fa is behind, and the front and back feet enter the door.
Abbot indoors.
The two of them saluted like a ceremony, and when they sat down, Ma Ping said:
"Now all the things in the view are going well, you two have worked hard"
Ming Fa is still young, so he arched his hand and said:
"Everything depends on the prestige of the Lord, and we are just making up for the corners, and we should not be praised by the Lord."
Ma Ping glanced at his registered disciple, who was only seven years old at this time, and was still ignorant, shaking his head in his heart, he turned to look at Lao He Dao:
"I'm going out for a while, and I'm expected to come back in early May, and then I'm going to the Chengyun Dao Sect again."
"Therefore, you have to take care of the things in your view"
Lao He was stunned and said busily:
"Lord, are you going out again?"
Ma Ping nodded and said indifferently:
"Of course, the county respects each other, I have to help him!"
A few days ago, Zhang Xianling personally came to Guanli, and the purpose was to make friends with Ma Pingpan.
This gave Ma Ping a deeper understanding of the power of the Chengyun Dao Sect.
Lao He frowned when he heard this, looked at Ma Ping, gritted his teeth and said:
"Lord, this ......"
Waving his hand to interrupt Lao He's words, Ma Ping said directly:
"There is no need to discuss this matter"
"I'll set off tomorrow, and I'll be in the view for a good life."
Lao He sighed in his heart, so he had to lean over:
"Yes, Lord!"
"Hmm" Ma Ping bowed slightly, and let the two of them retreat.
Ma Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, he naturally did this for merit.
I'm about to go to the Taoist sect, and I don't know what I'm going to encounter yet, so it's always right to prepare more merits.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ma Ping changed into a simple robe, rode a green donkey and went down the mountain.
Now there are many people in the view, and this donkey is well taken care of, and it looks very shiny.
But the temper has also risen a lot.
When I first rode it, I was still stubborn, so naturally I had to take a few slaps, and this time I was honest.
I went down the mountain and walked a short distance to Shangguan Road.
On both sides of the official road, there are now lush woods and grasses.
Birds chirped in my ears, and the occasional roar of wild beasts was heard.
Stomp ~ Stomp ~ The donkey was locked in the temple for half a winter, and at this time he came out to look left and right, and ran quite happily.
After walking for a while, the vision suddenly opened up, and rice fields appeared on both sides of the road.
With the field, it is not far from the people, Ma Ping knocked the donkey's belly and trotted up.
The sky is high and cloudless.
A flag can be seen from a distance, and there is a Wu character on it.
At this time, the sun was getting higher, and I happened to be a little thirsty, so I rode my donkey to the front of the shop.
Xiao Er greeted him and asked:
"Guest, what do you want to use?"
Tie the donkey to a pole at the door, tell him to feed it with concentrate, and sit down near the door:
"Pick up the best dishes, serve three, and get a pot of wine"
"Okay, wait a minute~"
