Shi Gandang, who didn't care whether he followed or not, and wanted to present a big opportunity, continued: "Actually, he is not entrusted by anyone, but I often heard him mention the Third Young Master, and in view of this The Third Young Master has a long family background, and at a time when the storm has not yet stirred up, Pindao felt that the best way to enjoy the shade is to lean against a big tree."
"What on earth do you want to say?" The Taoist priest who didn't want to talk to this confused person continued to speculate, and there was some anger in his tone in the middle of the night.
Seeing that Ye Sangen was planning to wait for him to explain himself before following him, Shi Gandang simply sat down on the big stone on the roadside and patted the large empty space next to him, indicating that Ye Sangen could sit with him.
The latter ignored him. Shi Gandang smiled without feeling embarrassed and said: "Years ago, Fuying people visited the four schools of Qingyuan Mountain in Fuzhou, Meihua Temple in Huzhou, Laoshan School in Laizhou, and Wuliang Palace in Qianshan, Liaodong, saying that they wanted to establish a new city in the Zhou Dynasty. We hope that the four sects will support us." He wondered in the middle of the night: "To establish a new sect, you should go to the Zongzheng Temple in the capital to report. If the specialized personnel from the Ministry of Household Affairs pass the review, it will naturally be approved. The four Taoist sects are also thousands of years old in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Gu Guan, you should know about this charter, and you will definitely not agree to it in private."
"Indeed." Shi Gandang nodded,
"But you can be regarded as half an official, so it is normal to consider this. But then again, if the Protestant religion is established, the incense and blessings it enjoys will be equally divided with the three Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist schools of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This three-acre land Here, there are not many Taoist opportunities, and one can make four. Who would do such a thing that is not worth the gain? Even a fool cannot do such a thing as sharing a steamed bun with others." The young Taoist priest did not shy away from his words. It is true that it reveals this kind of human nature and directly touches the dark side of people's hearts.
Knowing that he had not yet reached the point and that the other party would not understand, Shi Gandang continued: "Then the Laoshan sect kept a close eye on it and sent people to find out what sect the Fuying New Sect was. They were also afraid that some evil sect would let us go wild in the Great Zhou Dynasty. So. At first, I didn't find out the new religion's sect, but later in the year I saw the Fuying man going back and forth to the Laoshan sect and sent the letter about the decay of the Taoist lotus pond." After groping in his arms for a while, he thought it was this in the middle of the night When the Taoist priest of the Taishan Sect took the letter with him, he took out a bronze flat pot the size of his palm, pulled out the cork, raised his head and took a sip, smashed his mouth, and shook the flat pot in his hand towards the midnight pot,
"Would you like to try the peach blossom stuffed with our Zhongshan spring water?" Ye San didn't even respond, but Yishan swallowed uncontrollably.
Shi Gandang added: "In this case, the Laoshan sect, which has been friends with me for generations, sent people to inform us. It was just a warning. I hope we will not get too involved in this matter and let the Fuying people toss it. The family teacher also has This consideration was only because there was a pilgrim in our sect who was very well-connected, and the Third Young Master also knew him. He advised us to come to Wudang first to get a feel for it before making any plans. Therefore, the master sent Pindao here, and he Training should also be regarded as finding an opportunity." At midnight, who now has a rough understanding of the situation, he is wondering whether there is any connection between the so-called Fuying New Sect and Jiugong Yan, otherwise why would this Fuying woman Will he go to great lengths to plan Wudang from the watershed?
Hearing Shi Gandang mention an old friend he also knew, he came back to his senses and asked, "I wonder which pilgrim Shi Daozhang mentioned that I also know?" Shi Gandang had a gentle smile on his face again. This one either had a smile on his face. The young Taoist priest, who was listless and sleepy or always smiling, shook his head and said, "You can't say it."
"This is what our Buddha said." Yishan interjected, and the preconceived notions made the great monk think about this meeting.
The "demon" Taoist priests are naturally somewhat hostile. Shi Gandang nodded,
"Taoism was originally born out of the Taoist code thousands of years ago. According to the Yin-Yang theory of the order of the four seasons, it drew on the strengths of Confucianism and Mohism, and picked out the key points of the two schools of Buddhism. Then Buddhism came from the East, and it was natural to learn from it. Is it any wonder that the essence of them is integrated into the all-encompassing Taoism today?" The great monk, who only knows how to recite Buddhist scriptures and practice Buddhist mental methods all day long, does not know these origins, scratching his head and saying nothing.
Unlike other Taoist priests who blindly admire Taoism and believe that Taoism should be superior to Confucianism and Buddhism, Ye Sangeng is not only impressed by facing the history of his sect so directly and openly acknowledging its core.
Shi Gandang glanced at him and continued what he just said: "Since my old friend told Pindao not to inform the Third Young Master, he probably has his own plans and hopes that the Third Young Master will fulfill them." In the middle of the night, his mind couldn't help but think of the people he knew in Lu. After thinking about it, I never thought of an old friend who could be connected to the Taishan Sect.
Putting this question aside for the time being, he asked again in the middle of the night: "Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to sue the government and arrest the Fuying people?" Shi Gandang shook his head, but nodded again: "That's right. No. Pindao also said just now that all the sects should actually share everything they know now to see what kind of trouble Fuying wants to come up with. It’s just that for a long time, they have been self-conscious and only care about the snow in front of their own door. They don’t care about the frost on other people’s tiles. ? Everyone is very tight-lipped." Judging from what the other party just said, Ye Sangen somewhat disagreed with this sentence.
"Then how do you know that De Fuying has also sent people to find Qingyuan Mountain, Plum Blossom Temple, and Wuliang Palace?" Shi Gandang chuckled and said, "Just as I am sitting here talking to the Third Young Master now, in a few days If I hadn't come to him one by one, how many of them would have wanted to tell me this?" At this point, Ye Sangeng was once again puzzled by the young Taoist's words and deeds.
Shi Gandang added: "Right now, only these four sects are known about the Fuying people's intention to establish a new religion. The other sects are not known at all. Of course, Pindao only mentioned it one-sidedly and did not dare to expand the matter. It has long been known. I heard that the Third Young Master had dealt with the Fuying people a few years ago, so the purpose of this visit was to talk to the Third Young Master and see if the Third Young Master could tell Pindao some valuable news as a member of the official family. "It took a lot of detours to clarify the main idea, but at midnight, I didn't think he was verbose. On the contrary, I had to agree to his request.
However, before he could speak in the middle of the night, the young Taoist said again: "However, it is already clear that this is probably a big situation set up by the Fuying people, and it is related to the overall situation of Taoism, so Pindao made an impromptu request and made a request. I don't know when. It's not right to talk about it." Considering that the other party started throwing hammers here and there, and now it involves the topic of Fu Ying's desire to establish a religion in Dazhou, Ye San doesn't think so at all.
"Requesting" would be a good thing. Seeing that he didn't reply in the middle of the night, but still looked vigilant, Shi Gandang smiled and said: "Let's see, if the third young master agrees to Pindao's request, Pindao will tell him another secret, big or small, and maybe he will The murder case here will help." He narrowed his eyes in the middle of the night. Regarding this, he felt more and more that this Taoist priest had ulterior motives. Why did he speak in the same way as his second sister?
"You just asked me if you could talk, why are you planning to ask me to agree now?" Ye Zangeng's tone was playful, without concealing the sarcasm.
Shi Gandang laughed out loud,
"Is the Third Young Master following the Second Young Lady all the time, so other people's words are just superficial to you?" Ye San didn't even object, obviously he agreed with this statement.
Shi Gandang shook his head and smiled bitterly, probably because he was laughing at his own tricks. He said: "I will tell you this little secret first. It's just the specific cause and effect that you need to think about yourself."
"Tell me."
"Although Wuliang Palace in Qianshan, Liaodong did not allow the Fuying people to establish a new religion, its branch, the Kanxiang sect, is closely related to the Fuying group." Reminiscent of that night, Shi Gandang seemed to accidentally and deliberately set up the Kanxiang sect. Pai pushed him in front of everyone. In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt that the actions and thoughts of the person in front of him were terrifying step by step.
It's like an unreasonable player in a chess game. It's amazing at first, but after a few moves, it's full of flaws. Instead, he works steadily and step-by-step, unintentionally attacking others, and with one stroke of magic, he can control the overall situation and blossom everywhere.
Talking about it on paper is more effective than practicing it sometimes. For example, now, that magical stroke that can cause flowers to blossom has fallen.
Could it be that Shi Gandang deliberately pushed out the Xiang-Kan sect that night, hoping to find out if this sect, which had only been established for a few hundred years, had any motive for murder?
Ye San didn't know whether he had found it or not, but that night, his sister told him that she didn't let the young Taoist priest from the Taishan sect succeed even if he thought about it.
In the middle of the night, he asked: "How do you know that the Kanxiang Sect and the Fuying people move around frequently?" This time Shi Gandang did not answer in a hurry. He seemed to be considering the words and proofreading them repeatedly before saying, "Because that one is easy to talk to. Hu Feizhen.”
"Huh?" Shi Gandang touched his chin, carefully considered his words, and pondered,
"Ancient books once mentioned a disease that is not a disease, called epilepsy. It is said that one person can change into two people, and then change his appearance again and again, which is unpredictable. The name of this disease is unknown, but you can also You should be able to tell that Taoist Aunt Hu Feizhen Hu has this kind of symptom. She is completely different from before. Sometimes she is very talkative, and sometimes she refuses to talk to others. Pindao feels that she has this kind of disease. " The first time I heard about such a strange disease, I was very impressed by the Taoist nun. At that time, I thought it was caused by their weird sect mentality. The number of times they took possession of people's bodies made them feel like gods. Nagging feeling.
"A few days ago, I happened to meet the very talkative Aunt Hu. She told Pindao that the reason why they came to Wudang was because of the request of a Fuying man who often walked around with them, which meant that the incense-watching faction came This persuaded the various Taoist sects to accept Fuying's establishment of the religion. However, when Pindao asked again, she changed her attitude and acted in a different way, not being easy to get along with. Not only did she not say anything, but she almost hit Pindao. "Speaking of this, Shi Gandang felt quite resentful.
In the middle of the night, he naturally didn't care whether the Taoist priests would be beaten, and asked: "Then why did you let them use the method of following the smoke to subdue the gods that night?"
"In this case, if the Kanxiang Sect makes a fool of themselves and becomes the target of public criticism, how can they have the nerve to mention the establishment of a new religion in Fuying?"
"..." Ye Sangen felt that his guess about the young Taoist priest just now was obviously overestimated by several floors.
Little cleverness, all little cleverness. The next thing I thought about, I had to wait for news from Yue Qingfeng about the various uncertainties here.
In the middle of the night, he said: "You have told me so much, what do you want to know from me? Tell me, you can tell me everything you know." Shi Gandang shook his head and said, "Pindao just said, I only hope that San The young master can agree to one of my impromptu requests. As for the rest, I don't have much extravagant wishes." Ye Sangen just stared at the other party, waiting for him to finish his words.
Shi Gandang took out the bronze flat pot again and took a big gulp this time, making a gurgling sound. As if to be emboldened, Shi Gandang let out a long breath, stood up, and said solemnly: "Third Young Master, what Pindao said next can definitely represent our Taishan Taoism, because I have been determined to be the next head of the Taishan Sect. ." Immediately afterwards, this young Taoist priest from the land of etiquette held his hands to bow to the sky and bowed down.
"The Fuying people have an obvious intention to establish a religion. Although I don't know what the ulterior motive is, the improper means are so obvious. At a time when the foreign religion has not yet entered our country, I dare to take the Taoist stone and I am willing to take the Taishan sect as the third son and for the The Ye family does the work of dogs and horses, before and after the saddle, without any complaints. "Are you sick?
Ye San Geng thought so. Are you still writing? )"
