When Xue Lanyi came to Huizhou this time, in addition to leading her disciples to treat the people, she was also preparing to recruit a group of female disciples back to the mountain. The battle at Xuannv Palace that day resulted in heavy casualties, and a century-old foundation was almost destroyed. Although she has carried out drastic reforms, to carry forward the sect and pass on the martial arts, it still depends on people.
It is impossible to say that she respected the way of chivalry when treating people without any selfish motives. The outbreak of the Jiangnan plague was a great opportunity for Xuannv Palace to increase its reputation and recruit talents. The leaders of Zhengdao martial arts in the world first recommend Dajue Temple, Zhengyi Sect, and Xuannv Palace.
It is understandable that other sects have done nothing. If these martial arts leader sects retreat at this time, they will be discredited in the world sooner or later. Although the Supreme Abbot of Dajue Temple did not come in person, he also sent the head of the Bodhi Temple and many medical monks. The Zhengyi Sect of Longhu Mountain is the ancestor of Taoism in the world, and the fiftieth generation Zhang Tianshi is also a favorite of the saints. Praying for blessings and warding off disasters is their specialty, so naturally they are not to be outdone by others.
There are three major sects in charge of the overall situation, and the other sects naturally follow suit. For a time, many martial arts people gathered on the ground in Jiangnan. The place where the various factions meet and make an alliance is set in Huangshan. In front of a huge stone flat at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, people from all walks of life were seated. Each of these martial artists held large and small flags.
Feng Miaoqing was a nun, so it was inconvenient for her to sit in the same place as Xiao Yunfan, but she was still with Master Xuanyuan and others. He was an old acquaintance with Huo Zhongyuan, Yu Nansong and other seniors, so he sat in the Bashan sect. The total number of people from large and small sects who came to join the alliance actually amounted to two thousand.
There is a wooden platform in front of Shipping, with four apricot-yellow pennants hanging on each corner of the wooden platform. The flag has the word "Heaven" written on it. In the past, when the martial arts leader Jun Linyuan was around, the Zhengdao martial arts community was known as the "Tiandao Sect". Later, after Jun Linyuan resigned, the Tiandao Sect existed in name only, but the tradition of the Tianzi Banner was still preserved.
An old monk with a pale face and wearing cassocks walked up to the wooden platform holding a gold ring, copper and tin. This old monk was over sixty years old, with two white eyebrows drooping, but a pair of bright eyes. This old monk, whose Dharma name is "Zhitong", is the disciple of Abbot Zhishan, and is the leader of the Bodhi Courtyard.
He raised one hand in front of his chest and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "My Buddha is merciful and can overcome difficult times." Before he went on stage, the heroes were sitting in different places and making noisy noises. However, as soon as he said these words, everyone's voices were drowned out. All the heroes were shocked and admired greatly. "The martial arts of Dajue Temple is worthy of being the best in the world.", "This old monk is really amazing", "I didn't expect this skinny old monk to have such a level of cultivation."
Monk Zhitong said: "Fellow martial arts comrades, we invite you here today to discuss the matter of eradicating the plague. I wonder if any of you sages have any good ideas?" Among the heroes, there was a roar like a pot exploding. Discussed.
At this time, a graceful young man in a light robe and ribbon jumped onto the wooden platform with extremely agile movements. The heroes couldn't help but cheer. The young man clasped his hands in his fists and said to the monk Zhitong with a smile: "Master, do you have a few words that I don't know whether to say or not?"
Monk Zhitong was an acquaintance with the young master and said with a smile: "It turns out to be the young master of the Shenjian Pavilion. There is a saying that a tiger father has no dog son. Since the young master has a good plan, let's tell the big guys."
When the heroes heard this, they immediately stood in awe. Although the Shenjian Pavilion was not as famous as the three major sects, it still seemed to be a decisive force in the Jiangnan martial arts world. The young pavilion master's name is Lin Zhongquan. He is twenty-seven or eighty years old and has a handsome appearance.
Jiang Hanyue glanced at the young master and said, "This young master is so handsome." Other female disciples also praised him highly. Only Shui Hanyan remained silent. Xiao Yunfan was the only one in her heart. Even though other men have outstanding looks, in her opinion they are not as good as Xiao Yunfan.
I saw Lin Zhongquan clasping his fists and saluting the heroes: "Fellow martial arts comrades, now that the people in the world are suffering, it is time for me to do something. I am not talented, I have a clumsy plan, and speaking out is just a good idea."
Among the group of heroes, a red-faced fat man said: "Mr. Lin, we are all rough people. Apart from knowing some rudimentary kung fu and being strong, we don't know anything else. If you have any good ideas, just say it. There is no need to be humble. "
Lin Zhongquan paused and said: "The plague is prevalent now. According to Xiao Ke, we have to trace the source. Only by finding the source of the plague can it be effective. Everyone is divided into three teams to do this, and the first team is responsible Transmission of messages and communication.
The second team of people investigated when the plague began in various places and from which house it began. Please take notes and send the message to the General Alliance via flying pigeons. The third team of people distributed the anti-plague medicine they brought to the people in various places, and stayed behind to observe its effects. They also sent daily messages to the General Alliance via flying pigeons. All matters shall be decided by the General League. "
As soon as he said this, the heroes nodded in agreement and praised the reputation of Shenjian Pavilion. Lin Zhongquan couldn't help but feel proud. He held up his hands and said, "Seniors, you are so complimentary. I don't dare to take it seriously." Among the crowd, Jiang Hanyue said, "Junior Sister Shui, in my opinion, Mr. Lin is much better than Xiao Yunfan. How do you always praise Xiao Yunfan? How amazing it is, but at this time he didn’t say a word, it’s hard to explain.”
Shui Hanyan said angrily in her heart: "Senior sister, Brother Xiao just doesn't like to be in the limelight, he must have some brilliant insights in his heart." Jiang Hanyue clicked her tongue and said, "Tsk, tsk, if he really has some brilliant insights, why not come forward? "What do you want to say to the heroes?" Shui Hanyan looked towards the direction of the Bashan faction and felt bitter when he saw Xiao Yunfan talking to Huo Zhongyuan with a smile.
Feng Miaoqing was also thinking at this moment: "Why doesn't Xiao Yunfan come out and say something?" In fact, this Mr. Lin once had a marriage contract with Feng Miaoqing. However, due to the fact that Chunqiu Tower was convicted by the court, the Lin family broke the contract. Otherwise, Feng Miaoqing would probably She is already the wife of Mr. Lin.
Huo Zhongyuan whispered in Xiao Yunfan's ear: "Brother Xiao, why don't you go up and talk?" Xiao Yunfan said: "This young master said exactly what I wanted to say. I'm afraid what I said may not be as good as what he said, so It won't be embarrassing anymore." Huo Zhongyuan frowned and said, "Brother, this is not like the way we used to be?" Xiao Yunfan said, "Mr. Huo, are you going to put me on the fire pit?"
Huo Zhongyuan suddenly woke up and thought to himself: "Brother Xiao is probably worried that he will steal the limelight of the young master of Shenjian Pavilion and have a grudge with Shenjian Pavilion in the future." Huo Zhongyuan thought for a moment and then asked: "Brother, when will you take action?" Xiao Yunfan said He whispered in his ear: "This matter will wait for a while. You always recommended Master Zhitong for me. Let's discuss it slowly."
Monk Zhitong said to the group of heroes: "Do you have any objections to what the Young Pavilion Master said?" One of the group of heroes said: "The Young Pavilion Master is thoughtful, so you can just follow his wishes." Among these people , Wu did not want to take this opportunity to curry favor with Shenjian Pavilion, so even if his idea was flawed, he was not willing to say it easily, thus making Mr. Lin unhappy.
Going to the passage: "In that case, please go and set up a tent to rest. Let us discuss it later, and we will inform you all later." At this time, Mr. Lin slowly walked down the stage and returned to his team. Zhitong and other seven famous people sat down in a tent in the north. Several monks stood guard outside the tent holding sticks.
In addition to Xue Lanyi and Zhitong, the other five are Taoist Gu Feng, the chief disciple of Zhang Tianshi of the Zhengyi Sect, Sima Mingcheng, the deputy leader of the Chishui Gang, Lin Qingya, the chief elder of the Shenjian Pavilion, Mo Wanhe, the elder of the Beggar Clan, Jin Jin Wanliang, the third shopkeeper of Yutang.
To the passage: "You guys, what do you guys think of the method Master Lin just used?" Xue Lanyi said: "Young Master Lin's method is very good, I agree with it very much." Now that the situation has changed, she is trying her best to maintain good relations with various factions, and she naturally wants to make good friends with Shenjian Pavilion.
Lin Qingya's face glowed red, and he said with a smile: "Master Xue Palace, if that kid hears what you said, his tail might be raised to the sky." Lin Qingya's praise was clear, and when he heard what Xue Lanyi said, he felt very happy in his heart. Having such a young and talented person in the Lin family is naturally an added honor. Xue Lanyi smiled and said: "I tell the truth, there is no lies."
Mo Wanhe echoed: "I, the Beggar Clan, speak softly. As long as the big guys decide, let us serve." The implication is that he agrees. Taoist Gu Feng is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a Chinese character face and a beard. He glanced at everyone, his eyes fell on the face of Monk Zhitong and said slowly: "Master Zhitong, Master Lin's method is indeed wonderful, but I still have one worry."
Monk Zhitong said: "Master Taoist, please speak. Let's discuss it together." Gu Feng said: "Our big fanfare will inevitably alarm the officials. Although everyone has good intentions, the officials will doubt that we are gathering people to rebel and pursue It will be extremely troublesome. The most urgent task is for a few of us to jointly submit a letter and request the imperial court's permission."
The Chishui Gang has contacts with the government. Sima Cheng agreed very much with what Taoist Gufeng said, and immediately echoed: "The Taoist has great opinions, and I agree with the Taoist's suggestion." Jin Yutang is an organization of merchants from all over the country. They do business with all the rivers and lakes. They have contacts with all the major sects, and they are also quite wary of the imperial court. Jin Wanliang took a sip of tea and said, "Jin agrees with the Taoist's opinion."
Zhitong nodded and said: "I also agree. But apart from getting permission from the court, what other concerns does Taoist Master have?" Taoist Master Gu Feng said slowly: "I cannot agree with what Young Master Lin said. First of all, this plague Now that it is rampant, it is unnecessary for us to send a team of people to trace the source."
When Lin Qingya heard what Gu Feng said, he felt unhappy and said, "The Taoist priest said it's unnecessary. Could it be that the Taoist priest knows the source of the plague?" Taoist priest Gu Feng pointed to Mowan River with a smile: "If you want to say that you are well-informed, it's the Beggar Clan. I think Elder Mo’s men know all about the things that Young Master Lin is investigating, so why bother you all to make another trip?”
When Mo Wanhe heard this, he laughed twice and said: "Taoist Master is ridiculous." Taoist priest Gu Feng continued: "Furthermore, if we want to treat people, it is unrealistic to let these friends from the world stay at the patient's home. First, these Jianghu friends eat a lot, and if they stay in other people's homes, they will inevitably become a burden to the people. Secondly, if these Jianghu friends stay in one place, what should they do if they are also infected with the plague?"
When Lin Qingya heard what he said, his old face couldn't help but turn red. Taoist Master Gufeng took a sip of tea and said: "Third, gather the medicines from various sects together and distribute them to patients. I am afraid that only people in my own family will know the efficacy of the medicines. Distribute them to other families. Once there is an intervening Except for mistakes. Someone mixed up the medicine and treated someone to death. Who will bear the consequences?"
Lin Zhongquan's remarks came from Lin Qingya. Gu Feng criticized this "good strategy" as worthless in front of everyone. Lin Qingya couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he had to make excuses to leave.
