“In good times, even mediocre people can go with the flow; in adverse times, only those who are determined are extraordinary.”
Shen Jun shook his head and chuckled, "But who can persevere in adversity?"
"Whether it's good or bad, just follow your heart." Chen Xuan said one sentence and said nothing more. Onlookers don't know the difficulties of the authorities, so they should not comment too much.
Then he asked: "Master, I am not here to take care of these trivial matters, but I want to see the inheritance left by my ancestors.
I heard someone said that my Baiyun Temple was occupied by a nobleman. I wonder what happened? "
"It's a long story, and I don't know the details." Shen Jun calmed down and said, "You weren't very secretive when you started.
Coupled with the fact that the remaining disciples of the White Lotus Sect pushed this matter onto us, the government soon found out the clues.
I sent someone to Baiyun Temple, but when I saw that the house was empty, the county magistrate was shocked and angry, so he made you and Yuyang wanted criminals, and asked the court to issue a formal arrest warrant.
Later, for some reason, a nobleman came from Luojing, summoned the county magistrate and asked for a reply, and then the wanted order for both of you was cancelled.
After that, the nobleman did not leave. He bought a house outside the city and sent people to take over Baiyun Temple. He would go up the mountain every day and stay there for a while from time to time. "
After saying that, he looked at Chen Xuan and said: "I asked someone to inquire about it. This nobleman comes from the Duke's Palace of Chu. His husband's family is Wang Muzhi, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, and he comes from the royal family of Yuanhou."
When Dayong founded the country, he also received numerous meritorious deeds, but the most special ones were the four kings of Zhenguo, the eight great pillar states, and the sixteen generals of the pillar states, who have been hereditary and prosperous forever.
Not only because of the outstanding military achievements of their ancestors, but also because these twenty-eight families control the vast majority of Dayong's troops and horses, and have strong strength and power.
The Ximen family of the Duke of Chu is one of the eight pillar states, and the Wang family, like the Chen family, is one of the sixteen generals of the pillar states.
How could such a noble man with a distinguished family background come to such a remote small town as Pingshan County and occupy a small Taoist temple with only three green tiles?
After asking Shen Jun, he didn't know, so Chen Xuan stopped asking any more questions and said goodbye to him, preparing to go and see for himself.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shen Jun grabbed him and persuaded him: "Brother Dao, this Mrs. Wang's status is of great importance. You must not act rashly."
"Master, don't worry." Chen Xuan said with a smile: "After all, she helped me and my junior brother get rid of wanted arrests, and also protected Baiyun Temple from being implicated. I know what's good."
"That's good." Shen Jun nodded. He was really afraid that Chen Xuan would kill the lady if he disagreed with her.
Even if he was only injured or shocked, it would still be much more serious than killing the county magistrate's wife and offending the White Lotus Sect before.
At that time, it will not be as simple as catching official documents from the sea.
Chen Xuan said goodbye to Lord Shen, jumped out of the City God's Temple from a remote place, and ran straight out of the city.
After a while, they came to a magnificent new mansion. There were eight guards in front of the door, with sharp eyes, looking around in all directions.
Chen Xuan took out the Taoist robe from Jinyun's pocket and changed it, straightened the skirt of his clothes, stepped forward and announced, "Blessings will be born, the Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
He saw two people stepping forward to stop him and shouted: "Stop!"
Chen Xuan showed a smile, bowed his head and said: "Nao Nao, Nao Nao, I am thirsty after walking on the trail, and I want to ask for a drink of water. I wonder if some strong men can help me?"
After hearing this, a guard at the rear knocked on the door knocker. After a while, the door opened with a creak, and an old man about fifty years old came out, dressed as a steward, with two servants beside him.
After listening to the guard's whisper, the old man waved to a servant, waited for him to enter the door, walked up to Chen Xuanyi and said, "It's natural for the Taoist Master to have a drink of water.
But now that my master is not at home, it is not convenient for me to invite the Taoist priest in, so I ordered someone to bring a pot of water to the Taoist priest to quench his thirst, hoping that the Taoist priest would not mind. "
Chen Xuan said with a smile: "Monks don't care about these things, just give them saliva to quench their thirst."
After a while, the servant who had just entered came out with a few people carrying a small table and teapots and cups.
A blanket was spread under a big tree not far away, and tea and snacks were placed. The old man stretched out his hand and said, "Taoist Master, please!"
Chen Xuan was greatly surprised when he saw this scene, and said, "Work hard!"
Sitting on the futon, looking at the exquisite fruit snacks and tea, and the fragrant fragrance, I couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked: "The trail is just asking for a drink, why do you treat me so favorably?"
The old man smiled and said: "My master always worships Taoism and Xinxuan, and is willing to make things easier for those who believe in Taoism. Moreover, the Taoist priest is extraordinary, which means that my master has not been at home these days. Otherwise, I would personally invite the Taoist priest to the house to meet him."
Chen Xuan poured him a cup of tea, and while drinking tea and eating snacks, he asked: "Then where has your master gone? When will he come back? After hearing this, Xiaodao wants to stay in your mansion directly and no longer suffer. It’s so painful to wander around.”
"If Taoist Master has this thought, you might as well go to Baiyun Temple in Qingfeng Mountain." After hearing this, the old man pointed in the direction of Qingfeng Mountain and said, "My master will be pure there."
"Oh? This Baiyun Temple is also your family's property?" Chen Xuan asked pretending to be surprised: "But I heard that there is a third-channel leader in Baiyun Temple who is over 150 years old. He is a fairy-like existence. There are only two disciples, so they live in poverty?"
"Have you heard of the Taoist Master? The reason why my master came here is to find the Third Path Master and his disciples."
The old man shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that I came too late. The three masters of the passage have passed away, and the Taoist priest Daoxuan and the little Taoist Yuyang are also missing."
After hearing this, Chen Xuan thought to himself: "I believe in Taoism and Shinxuan, and I came here to find the master? Could it be that I had some relationship with the master before?"
But now the master is no longer here, and Yuyang and I have abandoned the view and left. What does she mean by staying here? "
Seeing that he had almost understood it, Chen Xuan drank all the tea and ate the snacks, and bowed to the old man and said: "My father-in-law, I want to place an order at Baiyun Temple and eat some food. I wonder if my father-in-law can give me some proof?"
"Of course." The old man sent someone another person to bring paper and pen, wrote a letter, and handed it to Chen Xuan, "The Taoist Master can take this letter to Qingfeng Mountain. I think my master will not refuse.
If you don't know the way, you can send someone to lead the way. "
"Don't bother me, father-in-law. You can just go to the trail on your own." Chen Xuan took the envelope, said goodbye with a salute, and went straight to Qingfeng Mountain.
Seeing him walking away, a servant who was packing his things asked the old man: "Uncle Song, why did you let him go directly to Baiyun Temple to find his wife? Do you think he is..."
"This little Taoist priest is extraordinary. Even if he is not Taoist priest Daoxuan, he must be a capable person.
Since he has this intention, he might as well form a good relationship. "
Songbo said: "There is Fairy Yuling and General Shengzhi in Baiyun Temple, so there is no need to worry about my wife."
