"Master!"

A shout came into the Xishan Dao Courtyard, Xie Lingyun and Heng Bao walked into the main hall with a smile, and they had already learned from the mountain gate just now that the master was back!

Sure enough, I saw an old man sitting in the middle of the desk chair in the hall, he was wearing a set of old faded light blue robes, his head was wrapped in a simple purple scarf, his long flowing hair and beard were all white flowers, and he was full of energy, sitting there, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his ears and shoulders were very kind, it was the master Nanyangzi, who was smiling and drinking a cup of tea, and Uncle Lead and Mercury and Uncle Boyou were there, they were sitting on the chairs on the left and right, but they were sad and unintentional to taste tea, as if something was wrong.

Seeing the two beloved apprentices, the old man's smile suddenly became even more amiable, he put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Ah Ke, Ah Bao, came back just in time, I just made half a crooked poem for the teacher, you listen to it: Xie Jun picks Ganoderma lucidum medicine at night, and strengthens my mountain to Chaotianmen." ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" both of them couldn't help laughing, and the master liked to joke.

Xie Lingyun looked left and right again, but didn't see a familiar figure, so he asked, "Where is Senior Brother?"

"Your senior brother has not returned to the mountain, he is still in Daohua Village outside the city. Nanyangzi replied, full of relief, their brothers have grown up together since childhood, and they are like brothers, and whoever comes back and can't see the brothers will ask this question.

Where is Daohua Village? What are you doing there? Xie Lingyun nodded suspiciously, and asked again, "Master, have you borrowed any money?" In fact, looking at the expressions of the uncles, you can know the general situation of Lu Dao.

"I have money, wine, and many friends, how can I ever see a person in adversity?" Nanyangzi chanted a poem in contemplation, and then slapped the table with emotion: "The first two sentences of this song are available!"

Xie Lingyun and Heng Bao laughed again, and they were not disappointed when they were amused by the master, and if they couldn't borrow it, they couldn't borrow it! I heard the old man laugh at himself: "Disciples, you can't borrow wine and meat friends; and those true friends of the old man are all poor people, and they are poorer than me.

"Hey——!" Uncle Lead and Mercury suddenly sighed, covering the voice of the audience, he stood up and complained: "Senior brother, you! You are still here to recite poems and smile! What a ......" The back of his right hand slapped the palm of his left hand, and he sighed: "Ake, everything is not settled, and everything is up again!"

Bo Youzi and the others immediately shook their heads and sighed, Xie Lingyun had already felt that something was wrong, what were these senior uncles doing with the appearance of dead people? He was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Senior Brother had an accident!?" Heng Bao's eyes widened when he heard this, and his face turned red with anger: "Who arrested Senior Brother!?"

"Where do you want to go, your senior brother has nothing to do. Nanyangzi smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, before saying: "But something did happen, yesterday on our way back to Jinling, we happened to pass by a remote village......"

Originally, they went to Yuntai Mountain a hundred miles away to visit friends and borrow money, but they returned empty-handed, not to mention, when they came back, they took a shortcut, just passing through Daohua Village, a remote village at the foot of the northern mountain range of Yuntai Mountains, but they were devastated, only to know that Daodao Daohua Village was plundered by a ferocious monster a few days ago, the autumn grain just harvested was all gone, the houses were also destroyed nearly half, and several villagers died.

At this time, Uncle Lead and Mercury interjected: "Your master is going to take all the silver money to disaster relief!"

"What!?Master, no!" Xie Lingyun was in a hurry, and Heng Bao was stunned.

Eight-year-old children understand the truth, there is only one copy of the money, if it is used to help those disaster victims, what will happen to the tax pill of Chaotian Palace? Xie Lingyun took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety, really understood the mood of Uncle Lead and Mercury, and said: "Master, whoever has the money will let him take care of it, call the government, call God optimistic, and those people in Qixia Temple take care of it!"

"Ake. Nanyangzi stroked the long silver-white hair that hung down to his chest, and said: "It's not that they don't know about this matter, and the government has already resettled, but that little bit of disaster relief money ...... It's just enough for the villagers to survive this winter. ”

Daohua Village is too far away from Jinling City, the location is remote, and the trouble is not a plague, and it can't affect Jinling, so the government doesn't pay much attention to it, and the money sent is far from making up for the losses of the villagers, even if it can survive this year's winter, it is difficult to say how to rebuild the home in the coming year.

And those rich avenue temples and big temples did not go to the disaster relief, first, their reputation is not good, and second, they have other things to be busy with, such as the theft of the tax pill that caused a sensation in the whole city and even the entire Jiangnan, as for Daohua Village, isn't there an official resettlement?

Originally, Daohua Village was attacked by a monster, and the time of the theft of the Daolu Division was similar, could there be any connection between the two? However, according to the villagers' descriptions and the situation at the scene, the monster was just an ordinary wolf spirit and leopard spirit, and it may have a bit of Taoism, but its strength was not enough to go to the Daolu Division to steal things, so the two were not related, and they could not attract attention.

"A group of villains, a group of ghosts!" Xie Lingyun couldn't help but scold angrily, how could those people have time to open an altar to debate?

If Lao Jun and the Buddha knew the Tao, they would definitely slap them! But......

"Is that what we should do?"

"Yes, we should take care of it, if we don't take care of it, no one will take care of it. ”

Nanyangzi nodded, but Xie Lingyun's eyebrows tightened and raised, and he argued: "Master, we still have to pay taxes and pills, and besides, the victims in the north are also waiting for those pills!"

Uncle Lead and Mercury, Hengbao and others didn't dare to speak at this time, and the major affairs of the Taoist Temple have never been up to them, but everyone's bitter faces are clearly saying......

Nanyangzi suddenly slapped the table hard, and the old face stiffened, and said: "You go to Daohua Village to see the tragic situation in person, and you will know whether you want to take care of it! The croppers have been counting on those autumn grains to survive all year round, and now there is not a pound left, not even the grain seeds! Do any of you want to see them sell their sons and daughters, slaves and maidservants next year?" The old man glanced around the crowd, then looked at Xie Lingyun, and sighed: "You guys, the disaster victims in the north need to be saved, but don't you want to save the Jinling disaster victims who are close at hand?"

“...... That's right. "Of course we have to save it, which time has we not cared about Chaotian Palace for so many years?" After being scolded by the head of the house, Uncle Lead and Mercury, Uncle Boyou and others all changed their minds in shame.

For a while, only Xie Lingyun was left with a heart of stone, and he smiled bitterly: "Master, uncles, it's not that I don't want to help people, let alone harm people, the problem is that we ourselves are now crossing the river with mud bodhisattvas! The hundreds of taels of silver were sold out of the entire mountain, and they were all donated, so what should we do with the Taoist temple? Who will save us?"

"The only thing is not to pay taxes. Nanyangzi sighed leisurely, and said seriously as if comforting: "There is a reason for this incident, and I think the court will also be lenient, but the big deal is to reduce it to meso." Who dares to go up to the mountain to make trouble? As a teacher, there is still a bit of a thin face. ”

Uncle Boyou also persuaded: "Ake, what the head of the family said makes sense, Lao Jun said: 'Heaven has no relatives, and he is always with good people. It is our duty to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, so if we ignore the suffering of the victims, how can we bear it? ”

"You can do whatever you like!" The annoyance in his stomach could no longer be suppressed, Xie Lingyun said angrily: "I don't care what Lao Jun, Buddha, and Confucius said this time, I only recognize what Mencius said, 'Kiss and benevolence to the people, benevolence to the people and love things!' My own Taoist temple can't be saved, my family is going to suffer, and I still want to save others? Master, uncles, forgive me for not being so detached, I just want the Taoist temple to be good, and I must not be demolished by someone!!"

With that, he shook his hand, turned and strode away.

Seeing him run away in a bad mood, there was a sudden silence in the main hall.

"Senior brother, Ake has really tried his best to raise money these days...... Uncle Lead and Mercury sighed, distressed and ashamed, and said: "Look at him, he has been busy since early yesterday morning, and until now, he hasn't even taken a shower, and he hasn't eaten a good meal." ”

Heng Bao muttered in a low voice: "And before in the Yamen, God was optimistic that those people were still insulting the master and the senior brother......"

Nanyangzi slowly stroked the silver beard, a pair of old eyes were full of kindness, and said: "The young man is the most important, it's me, a useless old man, who has dragged Ah Ke down, I'll go and see him." ”

Chaotian Palace is built according to the mountain, enters the two mountain gates, and then climbs the large section of the winding nine-curved corridor mountain path, you can see the Shenjun Hall that sits in the north and faces south, and then the Sanqing main hall, the Datong Mingbao Palace, the Flying Dragon Palace, on the left and right sides of this central axis, there are many halls again.

The main hall of Sanqing and the Datong Ming Treasure Hall are all the Huayi halls of the seven wings, the arches are stacked on the eaves, the flying wheel is very magnificent; the Flying Dragon Hall is even higher on the top of the mountain, can overlook the beautiful mountain scenery of the north to the fullest. Xishan Taoist Courtyard is built in the west, and on the east side sits the eighty-two rooms of the Taoist Courtyard, which is the residence of food and grain Taoist priests, schoolchildren and others, as well as Feixia Pavilion, Jingyang Pavilion, bell tower, pavilion, sword pond and other buildings, all of which silently tell the glory of Chaotian Palace.

It was evening, the sky was full of fiery red glow, Xie Lingyun came to the Flying Dragon Pavilion behind the Flying Dragon Palace, looking at the sunset and Xiushan, thinking about something, the irritability gradually quieted down.

After a while, footsteps suddenly sounded, and he looked back, but it was the master who came. The old man walked into the pavilion with a smile, also looking at the beautiful scenery ahead, and asked, "Ake, are you very dissatisfied with the master's decision?

Xie Lingyun shook his head and replied, "I was impulsive just now, the victims of the disaster must be saved, and the tax pill must continue to be refined, and I will collect as many medicinal materials as I need." ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" the master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, they didn't need to say too much, and there was nothing to do.

Nanyangzi said again: "Everything is the coexistence of yin and yang, you might as well look at the good side, this matter is not a turning point for us." ”

"Master, what do you mean?" Xie Lingyun thought thoughtfully.

"The theft of the tax pill is the responsibility of the Daolu Division, and the position of 'Jinling Protector' is also the responsibility of the old ghost Tian Chengzi who is optimistic about God, and we can't pay the remade tax pill, so there is no big fault in the sense. What worries you and me is that God is optimistic that those people will take advantage of the topic to make trouble, coerce the people to go up the mountain to make trouble, and even tear down the mountain gate of Chaotian Palace. Nanyangzi smiled as he spoke, and said, "If we settle the villagers of Daohua Village, when there is really an emergency, we invite them to come to Jinling to explain the law, which side will the people stand on?"

Xie Lingyun nodded with a deep sigh, the popularity of the people in Jinling City cannot be won, but the popularity of the people outside the city can be developed more.

However, he knew that this was just a helpless strategy, because when things got bigger, it was useless for the villagers to say anything, and God was optimistic that there were a lot of die-hard believers, and when the time came, there might be benefits for going up the mountain to make trouble, and they would not care if you were 3927.

He couldn't help but think of the "Divine Sword Crisis" a few years ago, when it was suddenly rumored that the sword pool in the back mountain was really the true site of the cadre and the Mo Evil Sword Casting Land, and there was a divine sword hidden, so that in a few months, the three sects and nine streams in the world flocked to it, and the ancestral courts of the Southern Sect, the Northern Sect, and the Three Sects of Fu Qi also sent people to send them, but after a while, they gradually calmed down again, all because no one detected the breath of the divine soldiers.

At that time, how were those people arrogant and domineering, how did they bully them? Tian Chengzi's villain also added fuel and vinegar to the suggestion to demolish the Flying Dragon Palace, saying that the Flying Dragon Hall suppressed the aura of the divine sword. As soon as he recalled Tian Chengzi's cheap appearance, Xie Lingyun wanted to gag.

Because the master tried his best to maneuver and stop, and there were not a few powerful guys, the Taoist temple was able to end safely. The master often said that fortunately there was no treasure here, if there was, Chaotian Palace would definitely be destroyed by the battle of others, and the divine sword might be fought for by Tongbai Palace, or it might be taken away by the Dragon and Tiger Sect, anyway, it wouldn't fall into the hands of Chaotian Palace, even if it was Yecheng Mountain.

Don't look at the Taoist temple so big, sometimes it's really embarrassing, in the end, their cultivation strength is too weak......

"Hehe, for the teacher to help others and save people, it is not without considering the situation of his own Taoist temple. Nanyangzi knocked on the white head self-deprecatingly, raised his head and sighed: "I am ashamed of the ancestor to do this! The master doesn't want you to be like this, especially when Hengbao is young, so he didn't explain it." ”

"Master, don't say that! If the ancestor has a spirit, then he must know what we do on a daily basis, and also know what we are doing now. Xie Lingyun remembered something, immediately smiled mysteriously, and said: "'Heaven has no relatives, and he is always with good people. Lao Jun is right, master, the apprentice has had an adventure in the past two days. ”

At that moment, he told his adventures one by one, "Ten Thousand Laws Return to the Sect", "The Rat King Laoxi", and the Monk Lang Bowl, and showed them again.

Nanyangzi stroked his beard again and again, was very happy and laughed, and said with a smile: "Ha Luha, I know that you are blessed for a long time, a good thing, a great thing!"

Those small spells do not matter, each Taoist mountain gate knows at least one or two, it depends on their own strength, for example, Chaotian Palace only has the "Pure Heart Mantra" that can clear the heart and concentrate the mind, and it is okay to heal others and heal oneself, but it is not possible to fight; God is optimistic and it is said that there are several spells such as "Radiating Light" and "Summoning Wind", which are precisely focused on aggressiveness.

However, there are more than 50 kinds of secrets in "Ten Thousand Laws Returning to the Sect", some are common, some are rare in the world, thaumaturgy like "rat attraction method" is simply unheard of, and there are still a lot of spells with such strange thinking in the book, and the attack power is not large, but each has a miraculous effect. It also records several powerful Dafa arrays, although the language is unknown, but it will definitely arouse the covetability of others, whether it is the Jinling local Dandao Mountain Gate that focuses on the inner Dan heart method, fist method and swordsmanship, or the three sects of the talisman with many spells.

As for the monk bowl bracelet, it is a small one, but it is a heavy treasure, and there are not a few "Sumeru mustard seeds" that cannot be found in the whole world. There may be many reasons why Qixia Temple is not sealed, but there must be one because it is not dared to show it. It's not just about convenience, it's still to be explored.

And the raw oil in it is a great tonic that replenishes the essence and replenishes the spirit, and it can come in handy when it is critical and when rushing to the level.

The tricky "Ten Thousand Laws Return to the Sect", the mysterious bowl bracelet, and the precious raw oil, and now Xie Ke has three in one fell swoop, how is it not a good thing?

Xie Lingyun asked again what to do, the old man waved his hand, and continued: "Which young man doesn't like these flowers? Read the book a hundred times, and you can see that these magic weapons and spells are the same, you can just play." You know how to only pick half of the grass and trees on the mountain, and the master has nothing to remind you, but you must remember!"

"Don't go around, don't let your uncle and brother know about this for the time being, so as not to let them break out and become lazy and hardworking, and rely on your magic weapon in everything; ”

"Yes, I know what to do. Xie Lingyun agreed.

"In the blink of an eye, you're so old that you've started to use spells. Looking at the sunset scenery in front of him, the feeling of time flying was heavier, Nanyangzi recalled something, the old face smiled slightly, and said: "I remember for the teacher, when you were five or six years old, you were younger than Hengbao, once we were like this, the master and apprentice enjoyed the sunset here, you said you wanted to touch those glows, let me fly over with you on my back, I said that I would become a real person for the teacher......"

Xie Lingyun couldn't help but hug the master's shoulder, this old man was also high-spirited when he was young, and he was once amazing, but later he ...... He looked at the master who was getting older and older, and suddenly his eyes were moist and almost choked, all these years the master has been walking on thin ice to maintain the peace of the Taoist temple, even if his cultivation is regressing day by day, which day he has seen him angry, which day is not to bring them joy with a smile......

If you have money, wine, and many friends, how can you ever see a person in adversity?

Xie Jun picks Ganoderma lucidum medicine at night, and strengthens my mountain to the sky.

How to repay virtue with virtue, and the house of goodness can collapse?

Heaven has no relatives, I have relatives, and the avenue is ruthless and laughing!

In any case, nothing can happen to the Taoist temple! He suddenly said, "Master, I want to start my formal cultivation." ”

When I become a real person, I will carry you.
