After hearing this, the temple owner stopped and said silently: "In that case, what can you do if you go to Quzhou? It's better not to go."
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "Senior brother, although I serve the Tao with my body, I can't get rid of the way of being a human being. I eat, drink, and have sex. As a good friend, I should help him fulfill some of his unfulfilled wishes. You Haven't you always taught me that I should learn to help people in the world eliminate disasters and solve their problems?"
The viewer looked at the gibbous moon in the sky and said: "The transfer of power is a family matter of the Longwei Escort Agency. There is no need to get involved. It is easy to attract people and difficult to send them away. We outsiders should try our best not to provoke others." provoke."
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "Brother, Jiang Daogong left a will before his death, entrusting the Longwei Escort Agency to an unknown wild boy named Bai Yutian. The transfer of power of the Longwei Escort Agency has involved outsiders. It’s not just a family matter of Longwei Escort Agency.”
After hearing this, the viewer felt a little hesitant or puzzled and said: "Jiang Daogong was a fool and a loyal man throughout his life. He never knew how to adapt. He always considered others before doing things and never put irrelevant people in danger. It is impossible for him to do such a thing. Yes." Isn’t it true that the will was false?”
Taoist Master Jingyin replied: "Senior brother, I thought the same thing as you at first. But on the way back, I thought about it over and over, and I felt that the death would not be false. At most, the woman next to him, Xu Sanniang, could do it on his behalf."
The viewer was still a little confused and said, "This is unreasonable. Could it be that Xu Sanniang was uneasy and acted maliciously? Jiang Daogong failed to take good care of the daughter of escort leader Qu, causing his wife to die early. He has been grudges about it and had long planned to destroy the escort agency. Return it to the Qu family."
Taoist Master Jingyin helped the master of the temple to walk to the bluestone aside. When his senior brother sat down, he said, "Senior brother, we shouldn't have such thoughts. If Xu Sanniang had such hatred in her heart, how could she follow Jiang Daogong around like a shadow? , traveled all over the country, traveled north and south, for decades, and never felt a little tired."
The visitor said: "But even so, the two generations of Qu and Jiang worked hard all their lives to build the Longwei Escort Agency today. It is impossible to hand it over to a stranger casually. It is neither reasonable nor reasonable."
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "Senior brother, today is different from the past. Do you still remember the annihilation of Shaoguan Qingfeng Village, Yusheng Escort Bureau, and Ludao?"
The viewer sighed: "The tragedy of annihilating a family happened only a year or two ago. How could we forget it so quickly?"
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "Jiang Daogong or Xu Sanniang must have remembered the murders of Xu Guishou, Qian Haoren, and Cao Gonglu, and did not want Longwei Escort to end up with the same miserable end, so they had no choice but to leave this legacy. Although this fate is a dangerous thing for Bai Yutian, it may be a lifeline for the Longwei Escort Agency who is in danger."
The master said: "Junior brother, you just said that Bai Yutian is just a little-known wild boy. What prestige does he have to be in charge of the famous Longwei Escort Bureau? Jiang Daogong left this legacy, is it unclear whether he is harming others? ! The struggle for power is cruel and ruthless, and countless heroes have lost their lives in vain for it."
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "Senior brother, since Jiang Daogong dared to leave such a legacy, he must have something extraordinary about that child. This may affect the survival of hundreds of people."
The spectator said: "The struggle for power requires a large number of supporters and a wide face. It cannot be solved by just one or two outstanding people. No matter how high the martial arts is and how good the ability is, in the face of conspiracy, conspiracy and human sophistication, it is nothing." It’s just one more chance to die.”
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "But if the person at the helm is not outstanding, even if he gains power for a while, he will not be able to hold on to this huge family property."
The visitor said: "Longwei Escort, your only friend is Jiang Daogong, and now he has passed away. Even if you go to Quzhou, what else can you do to help besides causing trouble for yourself?"
Taoist Master Jingyin sat on the ground next to the master of the temple and said: "Senior brother, this is what I think. When Bai Yutian passes by here, you can come forward and compete with him. If that kid can survive ten moves in your hands, , just accompany him to Quzhou. No matter whether things can work out or not, you have done your best. If that kid can't survive ten moves in your hands, let him go. The friendship left by Jiang Daogong will also be We can only pay it back later.”
The master of the temple woke up and turned around and said: "You want to have a challenge in the Longwei Escort Bureau, where the winner will be determined by martial arts, and the winner will be elected as the chief escort."
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "Brother, you just said that the struggle for power relies on large numbers of people and wide connections. Although this method is a bit clumsy, but if you don't use this method, what can the wild boy do if he is alone? How can you win the position of chief escort if you fight with others?"
The viewer said: "Even if that wild boy wins the position of chief escort for a while, no one will necessarily listen to him in the future! Isn't this still in vain?"
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "Senior brother, Jiang Daogong asked that wild boy to take charge of the Longwei Escort Bureau in order to protect the Longwei Escort Bureau. Once the enemy invades, the people in the Escort Bureau will take it upon themselves to protect their vested interests or their lives. We will be consistent with the outside world, so why should we worry about what happens next! Maybe winning for a while means winning for a lifetime. Everything has its own internal development law, but it is difficult for us to detect it with the naked eye. "
"Okay, you send someone to guard the mountain these days. If that kid comes, I'll go see him. If that doesn't work, ask him to go back the way he came, so as not to lose his life innocently. It can make Jiang Daogong take a fancy to him. He is at least a good person with a clean heart, and he should not owe anything to Longwei Escort Agency." The viewer stood up, walked away, and then stretched his muscles. The steps are leisurely and the arms are relaxed and relaxed, like a wandering crane.
Taoist Master Jingyin stood up and said, "Senior brother, it's settled, you can't lie."
The leader of the temple replied softly: "Do you still remember the first verse the master taught us?"
Taoist Master Jingyin smiled and replied: "Senior brother, if you don't remember, your words and deeds should be consistent."
The master of the temple said: "Go ahead, go to the main hall and read a few scriptures first. It won't work if you keep forgetting your homework."
Taoist Master Jingyin gave a slight salute and said: "Yes, senior brother. You practice first, and I will help you prepare the fasting tea." He took a step forward and walked towards the main hall.
But once, the sound of chanting came from the hall: "The way of heaven, is it still like stretching a bow? The higher ones suppress it, the lower ones lift it; those who have more than they need will damage it, and those who have less will make up for it. The way of heaven, if there is more than is damaged, make up for it. Insufficient. The way of man is not the same. If you lose enough, you will have more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world, only the Tao. Therefore, if you take the saint as a person, you will not rely on it, and you will not be able to achieve success, and you will not want to see the virtuous."
...
After hearing this, the visitor calmed down, looked at the moon in the sky, and said with emotion: "Yes! Following the laws of nature, isn't it just like shooting a bow with a bow? If the bowstring is pulled high, lower it; if it is lowered, then it will be lowered. Lift it higher; if it's too full, relax it; if it's not strong enough, add some to it. This is the law of nature, if it's over-stretched, it'll be under-replenished.
But what about the laws of real society? But it's not like that, it's always the opposite. Respect the strong, do everything you can to reduce those who are deficient, and contribute to those who have excess. Who, then, can reduce the surplus and supply the deficient? Only the wise people are willing to do it.
I hope Jiang Daogong’s eyes are bright, his heart is clear, and he doesn’t make mistakes. I hope that this child will be a wise and capable person, like a saint, who can do something without possessing it, and achieve something without taking credit. If you stretch out your hands, everything will be good; if you open your eyes, you won't see any good. "
After finishing his words, the temple leader took in his breath and collected his energy, and walked towards the gate of Sanqing Palace. There was still homework to be done tonight.
...
At the foot of Sanqing Mountain, on the mountain road from west to east, there are always two or three young Taoist priests sitting under the tea tent. From sunrise to sunset, they look at the passers-by. When they see a young man, they will ask: "Donor, your surname is Bai." ?"
He shook his head politely and replied "No", and replied rudely: "Your surname is Bai, you are crazy!"
The Taoist priests sat and waited day after day without seeing Bai Yutian, and they became a little impatient. Even the tea in the cup was restless.
Taoist Master Jingyin saw that his disciples were tired and discouraged, and he was afraid that they would be lazy and sleepy, so he thought of taking action himself.
After finishing his fasting meal early in the morning, he took his two disciples down to the mountain and sat quietly under the tea tent, looking westward intentionally or unintentionally, sizing up the passers-by. Patience walks with the sun from east to west, and slowly relaxes.
A disciple felt a little hungry. He looked at the sky and found that the sun had passed its peak and was moving towards the west. He couldn't help but feel a little cold. He put down his tea cup and said, "Master, I have been waiting for four days and there is still no trace of him. The donor surnamed Bai must have gone the wrong way. From Longhu Mountain to here, it's only a short distance, even if it's a snail, it should be there by rights!"
Taoist Master Jingyin put down his tea cup and replied: "If you want to go from Longhu Mountain to Quzhou without delaying your journey, this is the only way to go. Be patient and wait."
Seeing that Taoist Master Jingyin had no intention of leaving, another young Taoist priest smiled and said: "Master, why don't you order some food? This apprentice's stomach is not up to par and he is a little disobedient."
Taoist Master Jingyin smiled and said, "Call me, Young Master Bai will come later and ask him to pay for the tea."
Upon hearing this, the little Taoist priest happily shouted to the store owner: "Uncle, give us two plates of snacks to satisfy our stomachs."
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper brought snacks. As soon as the two little Taoist priests had eaten one piece, a little Taoist priest came galloping from the west with a very happy face. He said to the tea shed: "Master, here we come! Four tall horses, two men and two men." female."
Taoist Master Jingyin stood up, greeted his disciple, and said with a smile, "Alai, why are you so sure?"
The young Taoist priest Alai drank a cup of tea, ate a piece of snack, and replied with a smile: "Master, the man has a peach tree on his waist and is in high spirits. The girl calls him Brother Bai."
Taoist Master Jingyin said happily: "Fire the arrow and notify your uncle."
The little Taoist priest put the snack in his hand into his mouth, took out a signal arrow, and fired it into the sky.
The sounding arrow flew high into the sky, the colorful light was bright for ten miles, and the sound spread.
