Zhao Ruoshi and Lin Xue, who had obviously stayed not far away to avoid taboos, probably only they knew whether they heard the conversation here.
Seeing the policeman in soap clothes leaving, Zhao Ruoshi came over on his own initiative. For these two couples who are somewhat famous in the world, especially in Hedong Road, this Taoist couple is even more famous.
Although they had never interacted with each other before, Midnight still showed far more warmth than usual towards strangers. After all, there were still some questions that needed to be answered from the mouth of this seemingly gentle but thunderous Taoist priest.
Maybe it's the answer that can help my sect control the sword. I have to say that this young master of the Ye family is also an extremely realistic person.
After briefly cupping his fists, Ye Sangen greeted politely: "Taoist Master Zhao, I've been looking up to you for a long time." Zhao Ruoshi, who still had a gentle smile on his face, returned the greeting.
In the middle of the night, he looked at Shi Gandang over there and asked, "What's wrong with Taoist Master Shi?"
"It's okay." Zhao Ruoshi's sudden words made Ye San even more surprised. There were rumors in the world that this couple was mute.
The expression in the middle of the night fell into Zhao Ruoshi's eyes, causing a slight smile.
"My wife lost her voice and deafness when she was young, so I developed the habit of not being very talkative. I don't believe all the rumors that are spread in the world." Ye San even showed a slight apology. Naturally, he would not dwell too much on this kind of issue. It was inappropriate to talk about people's shortcomings, so he changed the topic and said: "I just talked with Jiugong Yan over there and learned that Taoist Master Shi was poisoned by the Taoist nun from the Xiang Sect. I came here just now and saw that Taoist Shi was unconscious. What's going on? ?”
"Gu?" This middle-aged Taoist priest from the Laoshan sect, who has also traveled north and south of the Yangtze River and is well-informed, fell into deep thought.
"Is there anything about the Xiangxi Sect?" He had the same question as he had just heard Jiugong Yan's words in the middle of the night. Zhao Ruoshi asked puzzledly: "So, the Taoist nun of the Xiangxi Sect is also involved?" He shook his head in the middle of the night. Said: "Listen to what the woman who just fought with you said, Gu magic is not limited to the Xiangxi sect of witchcraft. What she meant is that this Taoist nun of the Xiang Kan sect can also use it and use such methods." Zhao Zhao said Ruoshi looked at the Taoist nun who had just had his arms slashed by his own two swords and was knocked unconscious by the monk's punch, and said doubtfully: "Isn't it possible? Gu skills need to be cultivated from the time when the holder of the voodoo is young. , fed by his own Jingxu, as far as I know, there is no one in Kanxiang sect who knows Zeban's methods." Ye Sangeng naturally understood, nodded and said: "I had the same question just now, but listen to that woman I mean, her husband is a man of great means, could it be related to that person?" Ye Xiayou interjected: "Gu can only be cultivated deep in the mountains with a humid climate. Highly venomous insects are rare in other places. I have read a map of the island country in a place like Fuying before, which said that it is mostly plains and hills, with few mountains. The climate is dry and hot all year round, and the rainy season is concentrated in There are no conditions for cultivating this poison during two months in the summer.”
"What if the husband of the Yan family in Jiugong is from China?" Ye San Geng guessed. Ye Xie said: "This is what I'm going to say right away. Raising and nurturing Gu requires a yin-vein physique. It's very rare for a man to have this kind of physique. There are a few big men who hate having a male body like you." After being exposed by her sister, the secret that she didn't want to mention the most, Ye San felt a little embarrassed and said angrily: "You think I'm willing, but I'm cured too." He didn't like others talking about his brother, who is his sister. She really spared no effort in being sarcastic. She curled her lips and muttered: "Fake man."
"..." Zhao Ruoshi, who had obviously talked a lot in the past half day, said at the right time: "As far as I know, people who have been infected by the poison have no consciousness at all and are completely out of their own control. Even if they are unconscious, they can still be controlled by the person holding the poison. . Taoist priest Xiaoshi was knocked unconscious by my kick and he still doesn't wake up. It doesn't look like he was poisoned." Ye Xieyou was puzzled.
"How did Master Zhao know?"
"I often visit Taoist temples in famous mountains with Zhuo Jing. Many years ago, I accidentally entered a Miao village in Shiwanda Mountain and rested for a few days. During the conversation, I mentioned the important points and asked many questions." Reading thousands of books is indeed not as good as reading thousands of books. After traveling thousands of miles, Ye Xiayou, who had read tens of thousands of books before, really didn't know that there was such a thing as Gu magic.
Ye Xia said: "If you go by what the Taoist Master said, it may not necessarily be a voodoo technique." Zhao Ruoshi smiled and said: "It's just a guess. Maybe this matter is really related to the Xiangxi Sect, maybe this is also the Fu. The provocation plan of the Ying woman." Late in the night, he said: "Based on that woman's scheming, this possibility is very high." Zhao Ruoshi did not consider this issue again. For a Taoist like him, such unwarranted speculation is completely pointless. The usefulness is probably only known to the parties concerned. In the end, it is only a possibility, not a fact.
Zhao Ruoshi said: "Listen to what the donor Ye said just now, are you familiar with this Fuying woman?" Ye nodded in the middle of the night and talked about his interactions with Jiugongyan in general, and then told what he knew about Fuying Protestantism so far. Notify them together.
The more Zhao Ruoshi listened, the more frightened he became. The gentle smile that had been hanging on his face disappeared and slowly became serious.
Zhao Ruoshi said: "You said this Jiugong Yan is the person who approached us to establish a new religion in Da Zhou years ago?" He nodded in the middle of the night.
"They have also looked for Wuliang Palace, Plum Blossom Temple, and Qingyuan Mountain, so are they planning to eradicate our four Taoist sects?"
"At present, it looks like this." Ye San Geng said,
"It was also what Taoist Master Shi told me early this morning. Regarding the Fuying Protestant Sect, he had approached four of your sects. My sister guessed that the murderer here might kill all the people he had been looking for years ago. After all, it was Qingyuan Mountain first and Wuliang Palace next. , and then there is the Plum Blossom Temple, which is too coincidental, so I planned to deal with it in advance. Unexpectedly, I accidentally hit it, and it seemed that it was the turn of the Guimen Laoshan Sect. I just heard what Jiugong Yan said, and it was like watching the Xiang Sect under the Wuliang Palace. Taoist Aunt Huang was killed because she only hindered their plan. If she hadn't met the virtuous couple today, the Taoist Priest of Wuliang Palace would have been brutally killed." Zhao Ruoshi frowned,
"Wuliang Gong did not come to Wudang this time. I heard from Taoist Master Jiu'e that the two Taoist nuns from the Kanxiang Sect came here on behalf of Wu Liang Gong." Ye Xiayou said in deep thought: "With that said, Hu Feizhen is already People from the Fuying Protestant Church can still be arranged to come here. Could it be that Wuliang Palace has become the same as the Fuying people?" Zhao Ruoshi agreed: "It's not impossible. When this matter is over, Poverty I'm going to go to Liaodong to find out what's going on with Taoist Master Qingsong of Wuliang Temple." Ye Xiaer changed the subject and suddenly said: "Leave aside whether this new religion was founded by Fu Ying, why do all the different sects have different opinions? Even the headmaster is unwilling to establish a new religion?" The middle-aged Taoist priest of the Laoshan Sect was obviously startled and did not answer directly.
Not to mention the two great monks who had come to the side to find something new, and the female crown who had been keeping a safe distance and accompanying Shi Gandang, the three people who had been talking in the field suddenly fell into sudden silence. .
As if he had gone through a long examination, Zhao Ruoshi, a Taoist priest of the Laoshan sect who had wielded a sword for more than twenty years, was angry. He must have thought carefully about it.
"Compared with everyone paying attention to lotus ponds and luck, or fearing that the invasion of other sects will carve up the few incense and blessings we have in China, what we should actually pay attention to is Taoism, which is native to this vast territory. Why has it reached this point now? Taoism has been declining for thousands of years. Not to mention Wudang, even the blessed places such as Longhu Qingcheng and Kongtong are getting worse day by day. Pindao has traveled around the world for more than ten years and visited Taoist schools. The Holy Land seems to have been deteriorating day by day since more than 20 years ago. For example, there is a disciple from outside Wudang who is uneducated and has no skills, corrupting the Wudang sect. It is like there is a Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain who does not abide by the rules and is corrupted. The statue of Laojun. There is also the Zhongyue in Songshan Mountain, which combines the three religions and pure martial arts. Some time ago, there was an elder who couldn't stand the sluggish cultivation and openly attacked the pilgrims in the Zhongyue hall and escaped from the master. All kinds of things, Can you teach me how to tolerate Taoism?" Hearing the helplessness in his tone, Ye Xiayou once again thought of the Ascension Altar in front of the Taihe Hall that day, and what the former head of Wudang said about the opportunity of the Tao.
Ye Xie said: "A few days ago, I heard Taoist Master Shangfu in Wudang once said that in the past five hundred years, my luck and fortune in China have become increasingly shallow. Is the Taoism related to this?" Zhao Ruoshi nodded and shook his head. ,
"This is very involved and involves the great fortune of our Taoist sect. Who has the ability to see its trend clearly? The headmaster of our sect has lost ten years of life and has made some deductions. It coincides with the 33rd hexagram of the Book of Changes to escape from the Tianshan Mountains. There is The superposition of different hexagrams means that the villain becomes powerful and the gentleman retires. But I don’t know who the so-called villain is. How can he enter the middle palace and ruin the luck of my Taoist family for thousands of years." Ye Xieyou only knows some superficial skills of Yao hexagrams. Naturally, she did not dare to make any rash comments. The sixty-four hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" were well understood by her, who was knowledgeable and had a photographic memory. However, she also knew that when it came to such a great cycle, there were various deductions and hexagrams. Arrangement is not something she can do with such superficial skills, not to mention the loss of Yangshou. Without the support of decades of Taoism, how can human power defeat the sky?
But I heard Zhao Ruoshi say again: "I came to Wudang a few days ago. I heard in my spare time that the donor...the third young master and the second young lady went to the mountains. It seems..." The Taoist priest who temporarily changed his name showed some embarrassment in his eyes. After thinking about it, he felt that mentioning this kind of The past events were a little inappropriate, but he continued after a slight pause: "I have always heard that when the prince became successful, the Ye family did things that conformed to the way of heaven, seeking some opportunities to prove the way through martial arts. I have some questions, and I don't know what to say. I won’t talk about it.” What I experienced on this day was just this sentence
"What should I say?" This was the third time I heard it. Ye Sangen frowned and said before his sister could say anything: "As long as you don't force others to do something difficult, everything else is easy to say." Ye Xieyou punched her like she was reproaching.
The smile appeared on Zhao Ruoshi's face again, and he laughed and said: "Everything should be allowed to take its course. I will not say anything that makes things difficult for others. I just have this question and want to know if there is a Qi Master in the Ye family. , can help the Ye family climb the pillar of merit, and it will last for fifty years." Ye Xia said: "This question from the Taoist Master is really scary. The Master of Qi is the foundation of the country, how can we enjoy wealth and glory all by relying on the royal family? What can a small family with a small family have?" Zhao Ruoshi understood clearly,
"Thirty years ago, the patron king entered the temple as the number one in the world. He had a smooth journey and always made moves that surprised the world when necessary. For example, he invited eighteen heroes to guard Xibo. Later, the fourth master also did the same. In this way, twenty years ago, I tried my hand at the world and rearranged the list of one hundred and eight singles, so that the ten seats that had been vacant for a long time were settled again. Such great opportunities are not something that a small family can encounter. "." As Zhao Ruoshi finished speaking, the audience fell into silence again. Ye San looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest, as if he was just foreshadowing what he would say later.
So regarding Ye Xiayou's silence, Ye San felt that his guess would most likely come true. Sure enough, Zhao Ruoshi said again: "Pindao just wants to know if the Ye family has any unspeakable secrets that he doesn't want others to know?" Ye Xiayou suddenly smiled and said: "What does Taoist priest mean?"
"The third young master and the second young lady came to Wudang, are they also looking for an opportunity?" In response to Zhao Ruoshi's outspoken words, Ye Xiayou euphemistically said: "As your teaching said, if you don't force it, you can ask for it, and if you follow the road, it is the way. , how can you say it's a request? It's just a coincidence." Zhao Ruoshi suddenly fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.
Ye Xiayou said again: "The Taoist sect suffered this disaster. Regardless of whether it conforms to the way of heaven or not, since San Geng and I have encountered each other, we naturally cannot ignore it. My younger brother and younger sister are still Miao Taoists in Longhu Mountain. I am the second sister. , Ignore others, but you can't just ignore them." Zhao Ruoshi suddenly bowed and said, "I'm a little rude, so I won't bother you anymore. If we are destined in the future, we can reminisce about the past." After saying this, today's talk The middle-aged Taoist priest from the Laoshan sect, who spoke more than he had in the past ten years, turned around and left without any delay.
In the middle of the night, Ye Xie looked at the two people who spoke like they were playing charades at the end, and asked puzzledly: "What do the last few words you two said mean?" Ye Xie, who suppressed his smile, helped himself to his younger brother. shoulders, and then the whole person lay on it,
"It's getting late. It's time to go back and rest. Get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a good day." He put his sister on his back and motioned to the two monks to take Hu Feizhen, the Taoist nun from the Xiangpai sect who was still unconscious, with him. In the middle of the night, he still asked: "Why do I feel that my brain is a little exhausted? Yue Qingfeng made it seem like a separation between life and death. How come these last few words of Taoist Master Zhao involve the Ye family again? Are you hiding something from me?" Buried in the neck in the middle of the night, Ye Xia made a muffled sound,
"I hid the fact that you are not my brother. You were picked up by my mother on Nanshan Mountain back then."
"..." In the middle of the night, confused, he wanted to throw the woman off his back.
"The point is, what you say always makes people guess. I have something to ask him."
"What's up?"
"Control the knife."
"Yeah, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. It's time to clean the knife. Come on, go back and clean the knife."
"..." At this moment, if he said that his sister had nothing to hide from him, Ye San Geng would not believe it at all.
