Chapter 75: Scouting
"What the master said, the slave understands, which means that the slave should choose a true chivalrous guest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" said the little devil.
"That's right, go ahead, go quickly, I need someone like this in desperate need. "Hongyi ordered.
"Hooray, the minion wants to know what kind of chivalrous man can do it?" the little devil asked.
"You're usually very shrewd, why do you still ask this stupid question, I need someone like Galle, understand? Find someone like that, I have something important to do with him, go quickly. Hongyi said.
The little devil still wanted to ask, but he was really anxious when he saw Hongyi, so he didn't ask again, so he retreated.
The little devil came to the teahouse, originally in the morning, at this time, Dr. Tea was very curious, so he asked him to sit down, and the storyteller was still talking, but it was not the book in the morning, it was another book.
Tea guests are very interesting, there is one group in the morning, I like to listen to the morning book, and in the afternoon, there is another group, I like to listen to the afternoon book. Usually, in the morning and in the afternoon, there are two sets of people each, the little devil is the one in the morning, he is not very familiar with the situation in the afternoon, it is not the order of Emperor Hongyi, he doesn't want to come to drink tea and listen to books in the afternoon, since he came, Dr. Tea asked him to sit again, he was embarrassed to refuse, tea money is a trivial matter, and finding someone is the real purpose.
Dr. Tea smiled and said, "Guest officer, what a rare guest!"
"What a rare guest, I come every day. The little devil said.
Dr. Tea gave up his seat to the little devil and said, "This is still the position of the guest officer, the guest officer is a regular customer here, and he will still give you discounts, free tea and free pastries." All supplies in the afternoon, all free of charge. β
"Thank you, Doctor. The little devil said.
"Thank you, take care of the business of the small shop every day, and be so polite. Dr. Tea said.
"That's right, Doctor, I'd like to ask, do you know of anyone here who has any magical abilities lately?" the little devil asked.
"What is it?" I wonder what the word is?" the doctor asked.
The little devil laughed in his heart, he was still a doctor, he was a dirt bun, he didn't understand anything, no wonder he had to pour tea and water for people? However, he immediately returned to normal, he also served people like this, and he was not qualified to talk about others.
The little devil held back, didn't lose his temper, and said slowly: "That's the case, I need some people with skills, for example, some people can fly, some people can penetrate walls, and so on, some are particularly capable." β
"Oh, are you talking about Taoist priests? I've heard that some Taoist priests can walk through walls, some people will fly through walls, and some people walk like the wind, coming and going without a trace, I don't know what type of guest officers need?" asked Dr. Cha.
"If there is such a person, I want such a person, even if it is only one ability. The little devil said.
"There is one, I don't know if you want to find it, I heard that on the Meishan Mountain on the outskirts of the city, there is a Taoist temple, which lives a Taoist priest, who can penetrate the wall, but does not go out, often recites scriptures in the Taoist temple, usually rarely goes out, and prays for the people every day. The doctor said.
"Oh, is it? He can penetrate walls? Isn't that not worrying about eating and drinking? If you don't have any money, you can go to a rich house and get a little bit, and teach a few more apprentices, won't you be able to live a good life?" said the little devil.
"Look at what you say, if he does that, can he still be called a Taoist priest, and can he still pray for the blessings of the people?" retorted the doctor.
"That's not what you're talking about, he recites scriptures every day in the Taoist temple, who feeds him, what does he eat and drink? Is it a fairy? Or get up in the middle of the night and go to someone's kitchen to steal something to eat. The little devil didn't believe it and asked.
He also drove out ghosts for people in need, or made some dojos, and invited his people to give him some incense money, and he could also support himself, anyway, he had no family to support, and no wives and children. The doctor said.
"I said, a person is a mortal fetus in the flesh, as long as he is a human being, he must eat and drink, unless he is a god, and it is understandable not to eat or drink, but he is not, according to what you say, I understand, he has extra money, he should not worry about eating and drinking, so that he can concentrate on chanting sutras and doing the dojo, and there is no need to go to other people's food. The little devil said, and he paused, and said, "I just don't know how he got through the wall? Don't the thieves really want to learn how to pass through the wall, and they must do everything they can to ask him to teach them this spell, so that they don't have to climb over the wall and steal other people's money and belongings." β
"You are really special, yes, I heard that there are some scoundrels, and they tried their best to apprentice, but he just didn't accept apprentices, and if he did, he would have made a fortune a long time ago. As soon as he gets rich, he will not be able to recite the scriptures with peace of mind. In this way, the mana may be reduced, as soon as his mana is reduced, in the end, without mana, he goes to the dojo, and people are not happy, anyway, it is similar to ordinary Taoist priests, where to invite people is not invited, why go to Meishan to invite? Maybe in the end, he will become a lonely person, and no one will invite him down the mountain. The doctor said.
After the doctor finished speaking, someone called him to add tea, he smiled at the little devil, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go over first, guest officer, you listen to what the reporter said first, and you can use the refreshments here slowly." I'll come when I go. β
The little devil nodded and said, "You go, I'll take care of myself, stay for a while, I still have something to say." β
Dr. Tea went, he finished his work over there, and ran back, and the little devil asked: "There is another sentence, I will leave after asking, you don't have to worry about me, take care of others, if it goes well, I will come to drink tea and listen to books tomorrow morning, if it doesn't go well, I won't come tomorrow morning." β
"Guest, as soon as you get out of the horse, it will definitely go well, tell me, what don't you understand?" asked the doctor.
"You said that the Taoist priest who pierces the wall lives in the Taoist temple in Meishan, where are there several Taoist temples, and what is the Taoist priest's Taoist number?" the little devil asked.
"I heard that the Taoist priest who pierces the wall is called Tianyi, and people respectfully call him Tianyichang, but he is not very old, about forty years old. On the top of Meishan, there is only one Taoist temple, named 'Xuanwu Temple', located on Meishan, along a small road, you can see, I hope you can find, the small shop also hopes that you will come to drink tea and listen to books tomorrow morning, counting on the guest officer you to add some popularity to the small shop, so that the small shop is full of brilliance. The doctor said.
"If it goes well, I'll be there, thank you for the advice, I won't delay here, I'll go and see first. I hope all the best. The little devil said.
"Please drink another cup of tea, go out of the city to the east, in Meishan on the outskirts of the city, it takes half an hour to go quickly, take a car to go, it takes a little longer, take a sedan chair to go, it takes an hour and a half. The doctor said.
"Thank you, I'll ride there. The little devil said.
"That's great, so that the guest won't be delayed from coming to the shop tomorrow to drink tea and listen to books. I hope the guest officer has a safe journey and comes and goes smoothly. The doctor said.
"Thank you, thank you!" After the little devil finished speaking, he found a fast horse and rode to the Meishan Xuanwu Temple.
In less than half an hour, the fast horse arrived at Meishan, the little devil was worried about the emperor, listened to Hongyi's words, knew that the emperor needed such a person, did not dare to delay, when the horse walked to the time when he could not go, he saw a Taoist temple on the hillside, looming in the lush pine forest, he saw a green grassland in front of him, so he took the reins of the horse, let the fast horse eat grass freely, he climbed the steps, in front of the Taoist temple, there was a courtyard wall, a black gate, on it was a copper lock, it was a copper lion's head, the lion held a copper circle in its mouth, the lion was very majestic, a fierce look, grinning, it was really scaryγ
The little devil knocked on the door with a copper ring, making a clicking sound, and after a while, someone opened the door and stuck out his head, and the little devil was happy when he saw it, it was a child, and the little devil asked: "May I ask if Tianyi is there?"
"Who are you? The child said that the clothes he was wearing were Taoist clothes, and when he finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.
When the little devil heard this, he was surprised, didn't the doctor say that Tianyi Chang would not accept apprentices? Why is there a little apprentice?
He wanted to figure out what the hell was going on?
The hand couldn't help but raise again, patting the knocker, and after a while, the door opened with a "squeak", and it was the child who opened the door, his head sticking out, glancing at the little devil, and closing the black door with a "clang".
The little devil is panicking this time, if he can't see the sky, I'm afraid he won't be able to make a difference, the emperor is still waiting, how can this be good?
Suddenly, a voice behind him asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
The little devil was startled, he turned his head to see, a Taoist priest was standing there, the little devil didn't recognize it, just thought it was a Taoist priest who came to visit the door, it seemed, the Taoist priest was wearing a tattered robe, his beard was a little gray, and his hair was like this, so he said: "I came to find Tianyi Chang, what are you doing here?"
"I'm also here to find Tianyichang. The Taoist priest said.
"You're looking for him, too?" said the little devil, "what are you looking for him, and where are you from?"
"We are peers, we have come to exchange experiences in alchemy and cultivation, where did you come from?" the Taoist priest asked.
"I came to ask the Taoist chief to serve the imperial court, and the emperor asked me to come to him. The little devil said.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Hongyi, ask him to serve the imperial court?" the Taoist priest was surprised.
"Don't be surprised, the matter is more urgent, this is a critical moment, the imperial court urgently needs such talents, but the Manchu Dynasty has no talents, so I was specially sent here to invite the Taoist to come out and give advice to Emperor Hongyi. The little devil said.
"It's strange that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can't solve problems for the emperor! Then don't you use the silver of the imperial court to feed this group of waste?" The Taoist priest said, he swallowed his saliva and said: "The guest official came to the right place, and I heard that the chief often prays for the imperial court and the common people in the world, but Hongyi doesn't know." Otherwise, why has Hongyi been so smooth all these years?"
"Yes, Emperor Hongyi worked hard, devoted himself to the welfare of the common people in the world, worked diligently for the court all his life, and wanted the people to live a good life, but it was not so smooth, and there were always some bumps and bumps. The little devil said.
"Then do you know that the sky is long? The imperial court needs him to go down the mountain and seek benefits for the common people in the world, and the emperor now needs a helper, a helping hand, and a left and right hand to help the emperor get through the difficulties, but I came to invite him, and he was closed. The kid guarded the door and wouldn't let me in. The little devil said.
As the saying goes, again and again, again and again, there are no more than three, maybe the turning point is on three, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try. The Taoist priest said.
