Chapter 4 The True View is hard to find

This Taoist temple of the Quanzhen sect in Chang'an City is called Jing'an Temple. This Jing'an view is an old view with a long history of 100 years, which was not originally attributed to the Quanzhen faction, and has its own Taoist inheritance in the view. However, due to the difficulty of maintaining this Taoist temple later, and coinciding with the rise and growth of the Quanzhen School, the Guan Master brought the disciples of the Guanzhong and the Taoist Temple to all of them to the Quanzhen School, so this Jing'an Temple became a branch of the Quanzhen School.

The Taoist priest who presided over this Jing'an Temple was named Yu Daoxian, who was also a third-generation disciple of the Quanzhen School, and was a disciple of Ma Yu, the real person in charge. However, Yu Daoxian is not a disciple of the "Zhi" generation, he is transferred from another Taoist school, and he is a teacher with art, and he has not changed his name, so he is not a true disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and it is counted as a separate transmission outside the sect.

In fact, this Yu Daoxian is the original master of the Jing'an Temple, and it was he who made the decision more than ten years ago that the whole Guan, together with the Taoist Temple, switched to the Quanzhen Gate. He himself worshipped Ma Yu as his teacher.

Yu Daoxian, who was originally a Taoist priest and switched from another family, is actually quite a lot in the Quanzhen Sect. The Jing'an view is not an exception, and there are many people who dedicate themselves to this kind of view in the Quanzhen Sect's various parts of the religion. There are also those purchased or built by the Quanzhen Sect itself, and there are also donations from believers. The sources vary, but there are just a few of them.

This kind of Taoist priest who has been transferred from another family, who is unwilling to change the name of the Dharma and learns the Quanzhen Dao from scratch, cannot be counted as a true disciple. Not all of the Taoist temples that are self-dedicated cannot be maintained like the Jing'an Temple. Many of them simply have the intention of entrusting themselves to the Quanzhen Sect, so that they can be protected by the big tree of the Quanzhen Sect in this era of war.

When Yin Zhiping found Jing'an Temple, it was almost evening. The door of Jing'an Temple was still open, and Yin Zhiping stepped in, that is, the Taoist priest who welcomed the guests immediately came out.

Yin Zhiping reported his name, and the Taoist priest hurriedly saluted, and then immediately passed it in. Soon, I saw an old Taoist priest who was over fifty years old and had a half-white beard and led a group of Taoist priests to greet him.

Yin Zhiping knew that the current old Taoist priest who was over half a hundred years old was none other than Yu Daoxian, the master of Jing'an Temple. Yu Daoxian led the crowd to watch and vote, and after worshipping Ma Yu as a teacher, he went to Zhongnanshan Chongyang Palace to learn Taoism and martial arts for five years, so Yin Zhiping knew him. Five years later, Ma Yu sent him out again, and he was still in charge of the Jing'an Temple in Chang'an. However, the disciples in the view have changed a lot.

"It turned out to be a visit from Qinghe real people, please forgive the old man for missing his welcome. Although Yu Daoxian is over half a hundred years old, his body is still healthy, his complexion is ruddy, and he is full of energy. Like him, who came from another family, although he has the same generation, his status is always a few points lower than that of the main disciple. And Yin Zhiping was named the first of the three generations of disciples last year, and his status is a few points higher than that of ordinary orthodox disciples, because although Yu Daoxian is older, he does not dare to be arrogant, and he uses an honorific title for Yin Zhiping, calling him the Taoist name. It's just that when this old Tao opened his mouth, it was full of authentic Shaanxi dialect.

Yin Zhiping looked at Yu Daoxian's clear face, and the three long beards on his chest were fluttering, and he also looked like a man of the Tao. But I didn't think about it, but it was a mouthful of Shaanxi, and I couldn't help but be happy at the moment. But he didn't dare to laugh, so he could only keep smiling, and hurriedly returned the salute with a smile: "Senior Brother Yu is too polite, such a title, but it hurts the little brother." ”

As soon as Yu Daoxian opened his mouth to speak, Yin Zhiping remembered that this old Taoist was a native of Shaanxi, and his speech has always been like this. Originally, Yin Zhiping's memory had a memory about this, but Yu Daoxian didn't stay on the mountain for a long time, and the original relationship between Yin Zhiping and him was not very good, so his memory of Daoxian was not profound.

Therefore, Yin Zhiping didn't remember this for a while, and he didn't remember it until he heard Yu Daoxian speak. He was named the first disciple, and such a major event, the Quanzhen Sect naturally had to be reported to the Dao Separation Temples in various places. Yin Zhiping went down the mountain this time, and Qiu Chuji later privately reminded him that whenever he went, if there was a Quanzhen Sect dojo, he should have a good relationship with the local master of the Taoist Temple, and establish a good relationship, so that he could take over the position of the Quanzhen Sect in the future. Yin Zhiping naturally saved. ...,

Yu Dao obviously saw that Yin Zhiping was not proud of his identity, he seemed approachable, and his attitude was also very modest, he smiled slightly, and changed his name to "Senior Brother Yin", and then ordered the group of people behind him to come forward to meet him.

After some salutation, let him enter the hall to serve tea, and Yu Daoxian asked Yin Zhiping what happened. Yin Zhiping said that he was ordered to go down the mountain and walk the rivers and lakes, and said that as soon as he came down the mountain today, he first came to Chang'an for a visit and visited Yu Daoxian by the way.

In fact, when Yin Zhiping came to Chang'an, he didn't think about visiting Yu Daoxian at all, but saying this in person at this time naturally made Yu Daoxian very happy.

After talking a few words, Yu Daoxian ordered someone to go down to arrange a fasting meal, and cleaned the fasting room for Yin Zhiping, and arranged a place to stay. The two talked for a while, and Yin Zhiping said by the way that he asked Yu Daoxian to send someone to buy a horse for him to travel.

After Yu Daoxian heard this, he said with a look of embarrassment: "Senior Brother Yin, if you want to buy a horse to travel, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Chang'an is now under the rule of Mongolia, and the Mongolian army is full of cavalry, although Mongolia is a place for horses, but it can be transported over long distances, which is always inconvenient. Therefore, in the land under the rule of Mongolia today, all horses are requisitioned for military use. Good horses were used for sergeants to ride to make up for the wear and tear after the war, and bad horses were used to pull carts and transport heavy grain and grass. Now in Chang'an City, not to mention a horse, even a mule can't be found. Concealing mules and horses, which were discovered by the Mongols, was punished as a felony. Senior brother, it's not that senior brother is alarmist, now under Mongolian rule, it is really hard to find, and it is difficult to buy ten thousand gold. As a brother, you can only find a donkey for your junior brother to travel, and you can just ask for it. With that, he let out a long sigh.

After Yin Zhiping heard this, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. He really didn't expect this situation, he originally wanted to ride the horses and rivers and lakes and be happy, but he didn't expect that now he can't even get a horse. The Mongols really damn it, so that he can't even ride a horse in the rivers and lakes, what is it like to ride a donkey.

Yin Zhiping finally understood that in the original book, Guo Jing took Yang to Zhongnan Mountain, and when he was in the Southern Song Dynasty, he rode a horse, and when he arrived in the area controlled by the Mongols, he had to change to a donkey; It's not that they can't afford to buy horses, it's that they don't have anywhere to buy them if they want to.

But with their means, if they really want to get a horse, it will not be difficult. But in the territory of the Mongols, it is a felony to keep mules and horses privately, although they are strong in martial arts and are not afraid of ordinary Mongols, but it is always a trouble to be discovered by the Mongols. Moreover, the so-called "two fists are difficult to defeat four hands", "heroes are not many enemies", no matter how high their martial arts are, it is difficult to defeat the Mongolian soldiers and besiege them together. When the time comes, ten thousand arrows will be fired at once, and the five will never dare to say that they will be unharmed. In the area controlled by the Mongols, in order not to be troubled by the Mongols, they had to ride a donkey with grievances.

Yin Zhiping knew that Yu Daoxian was telling the truth, and it was not difficult for him, so he sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Donkey is a donkey, then it will be troublesome for senior brother." ”

Yu Daoxian agreed, promising to do it for him tomorrow.

After a few more words, a little Taoist priest came to report that the meal was ready. Yu Daoxian asked Yin Zhiping to go to the fasting meal, and after the meal, Yu Daoxian personally led Yin Zhiping to the fasting room where he was prepared.
