It’s not that far from Ludong to Jiangsu Province, so we took the high-speed train to Jinling in advance. After going to Guo Yizhi’s company for a while, we received the news that Senior Brother was about to arrive in Jinling, so we asked Guo Yizhi to take us to Dalu.
Go to the airport and wait for Senior Brother.
There was heavy fog that day, so the plane was delayed and the flight was delayed until the evening.
We thought that when a leader at the level of Senior Brother travels, he will definitely be cheering in front of you, or he will be chartered on a special plane. However, when we heard the news that flight ZH9626 had landed, I was still discussing with Guo Yizhi how to recruit fat people on the streets.
I saw Zamao Xiaodao standing up. I followed his gaze and saw a middle-aged handsome man wearing an old Chinese tunic suit appearing in my sight. He looked majestic and had a warm face.
A smile like the spring breeze, isn’t it Senior Brother or who is it?
Unexpectedly, this prince from the southeast would take a special flight and come alone.
Seeing us, the senior brother came over carrying an old luggage bag and greeted us. When he saw Guo Yizhi, he recognized him, shook hands, and asked how his master, Iron Teeth Divine Speller Liu, is doing lately?
Guo Yizhi said that his master had gone to work as a consultant in the university, and he had not seen him for several years, and he really missed him very much.
The senior brother nodded and said, since he entered the palace, he has taken on the important task of planning the destiny of the country. He really seeks kindness and gets mercy. He didn't say much, although the predecessor of the Religious Bureau was once composed of the 8341 Unit
The backbone of the team was stationed in the establishment, but after all, they are still two different systems, and it is a matter of internal affairs, so I should keep it secret. Senior Brother is well aware of this, so he did not ask more questions and stopped staying at the airport. He said that his trip was a private matter.
Therefore, we did not notify the relevant local authorities. Since Boss Guo had a car, he took advantage and went with us.
After all, the status of the senior brother is here. Although Guo Yizhi is Liu's beloved disciple, he has little contact with senior leaders at this level. I am flattered and say that you, Boss Chen, can ride in my car. This is what I am doing.
Blind Man Guo has a huge reputation, come on, don’t say much, just get in the car first.
Naturally, I was clueless about how to get to Maoshan, and Zamao Xiaodao was hesitant and refused to explain. In fact, he was the most uneasy at the moment. After all, the person who expelled him from Maoshan that day was his master, the leader of the Maoshan Sect.
Tao Jinhong. All along, while he was proud of being a disciple of Maoshan, he was also filled with deep inferiority and guilt. He was afraid of not being recognized and was full of expectations. In the end, he was hurt and ran away in embarrassment.
Neither of us knew, so we naturally had to follow the arrangements of our senior brother. However, although Guo Yizhi was friends with us, it was not easy for him to know the internal affairs. Fortunately, he also knew these things and took us to a nearby
In a hotel, after checking into the room, I didn’t even eat dinner. I made a gesture of seeing you in the night, then said goodbye with a smile.
After Guo Yizhi left, the senior brother looked at Zamao Xiaodao displeased and said, Xiao Ming, you are already so old and a master in cultivation. Senior brothers should not interfere with you, but our Maoshan Sect is not that good at that.
The way of the Heavenly Master in Hushan, in some places, when it is time to exercise moderation, you should still exercise moderation...
After listening to Senior Brother's lesson, Zamao Xiaodao is just hey, Senior Brother, I have my own concerns in my heart, no need to say more - Hey, I haven't returned to Maoshan for many days, and there is no news from my sister-in-law at home, so I take the liberty to ask.
, where is she now?
Zamao Xiaodao is usually honest in front of his senior brother, but now he suddenly asked such a question. The senior brother coughed twice in embarrassment and said that your little aunt has been practicing in the Hantan Cave at the bottom of the valley with the elder Chuan Gong in the past few years.
, Later, the elder who taught the gong was ill, so she guarded the gate of the backyard for Master and his old man. I haven't seen her for a while - well, leaving aside these, let me tell you two about the current Maoshan Sect.
The form is so good that you two should be careful when entering the sect.
When we heard that Senior Brother was talking to us about serious matters, we all sat upright and acted as if we were all listening.
The senior brother coughed, and then said to us: "Master originally expected to wake up in March and April and resume teaching duties, but things went against expectations. Not only did Master not come to his senses, but later even the disciple who held the lamp was
Fu Jun never heard from him again. In view of this, Yang Zhixiu and other people went against the grain in the sect and did whatever they wanted. The elders in the sect were either attracted by him or ignored the world's affairs. A few of them had a righteous mind.
The elders are also alone, and the situation is very bad. This time I will take you back to Maoshan, firstly to investigate the matter, and secondly, to unite the disciples in the sect and prevent Yang Zhixiu from ruining the Maoshan sect..."
Zamao Xiaodao was very puzzled when he heard his senior brother talk about this matter. Senior brother, when I was in Maoshan before, I felt that Yang Zhixiu was a very good person. He was modest and polite, knowledgeable, and quite familiar with things in the sect.
Moreover, he can also be good at communicating with external parties and take advantage of them. Although sometimes he is a little biased in dealing with things, he is considered good among the elders and talkers. This is why Master asked him to be such a talker.
Reason, why is the reputation so bad now?
Although Yang Zhixiu chased us thousands of miles because of Huang Pengfei's incident, Zamao Xiaodao was still able to put aside his own position and make a fair judgment on Yang Zhixiu's past behavior. Facing Zamao Xiaodao's questions, senior brother smiled and did not hesitate.
Duoyan said calmly: "Everything is because of power. I won't tell you much. When you get to Maoshan, you will be able to understand it yourself..."
The purpose of our trip to Maoshan this time is, firstly, to follow Tao Jinhong’s previous instructions, to take the Zamao Trail up the mountain and return to the sect, and secondly, to settle the case between me and Huang Pengfei. We will go to Sentai tonight and tomorrow morning.
Senior Brother Rong Maoshan didn't say much to us. After a quick explanation, he left, saying that he also wanted to meet some personal friends.
When we returned to Maoshan this time, we didn't have time to go to the Xiao family compound in the countryside of Jurong. Zamao Xiaodao was afraid of the motto of Liu, the Iron Ruler, and didn't dare to go home for fear of bringing bad luck to the family. However, he also thought about his family and went back with the news.
We hadn't been sitting in the hotel for long when the doorbell rang. Duoduo jumped to open the door, only to see her uncle Xiao Yingwu standing in front of the door holding the beautiful and cute little Mo Dan, and behind them, there was silence.
The speechless third uncle's disciple Jiang Bao pushed a wheelchair, and on the wheelchair sat the third uncle Xiao Yingwen with frosty white temples.
Little Mo Dan has been in China for more than two years, and he can already speak Mandarin, and has a lively personality. He calls him Brother Xiao Ming and Brother Lu Zuo obediently, and then he meets Duo Duo and Xiao Yao, but the boring gourd Jiang Bao,
He struggled to hold back a word, but his face turned red.
The younger uncle has a steel fist on his left arm, but he is still very energetic, but the third uncle has aged a lot in the past two years, and his eyebrows are frosty, a bit like Wu Xibo's appearance in the later movie "Beijing Meets Seattle", he looks very messy.
The corners of my eyes felt sore for a while. Zamao Xiaodao came up to meet me, squatted in front of my third uncle's wheelchair, opened my mouth, but couldn't speak.
Seeing the sadness on both of our faces, the third uncle smiled, showing a lot of tolerance and peace. He patted Zamao Xiaodao and I who were squatting in front of him and said, "Don't be sad indiscriminately. You two are so childish, which makes me uncomfortable."
The younger generation saw the joke.
We welcomed them into the room while wiping away our tears. After everyone was seated, our uncle couldn't wait to ask him about what we told him about Zhou Lin on the previous phone call. Zamao Xiaodao took out half of the old black bat eagle from his arms.
Jade pendant, I don’t even know when he picked it up. After putting this jade pendant in the hands of his third uncle, Zamao Xiaodao solemnly said: "Third uncle, younger uncle, our ancestors are above all, it’s unfilial.
My disciple Zhou Lin has been cleared out by me personally and beheaded in the Dongyi Palace under the Feicheng City in the east of Lu!"
Touching the broken jade ring in the palm of his hand, the third uncle's face showed no hatred, just deep regret. He sighed, and tears actually flowed from the corners of his eyes.
He had taken Zhou Lin with him very early and treated him as his own son. He taught by words and deeds, thinking that he could carve this raw jade into good materials. However, Zhou Lin's behavior after returning from Shennongjia still made him sit on the throne at this high-spirited age.
He had to use a wheelchair, which really tarnished the reputation of the Xiao family. He originally felt resentment, but after learning the news of Zhou Lin's death, he couldn't help but sigh and lament the impermanence of the world.
The third uncle almost grew up with Zhou Lin, but the younger uncle has been traveling and exploring all over the country for many years. He doesn’t have much affection for Zhou Lin, a white-eyed wolf, and is more concerned about how Zhou Lin was executed. So after some questioning, we
Explain to them one by one what happened in Ludong.
Hearing all the dangers and twists and turns here, from heaven to death, everyone couldn't help but sigh, saying how arrogant Zhou Lin was at that time, and the evil spirit possessing the old black bat carving jade pendant, the uncle sighed, saying that the child
It's true that he was led astray. Speaking of which, he can't be entirely blamed...
The third uncle shook his head and said no. Although he wanted to excuse Zhou Lin's child, in the final analysis, the eldest sister doted on the child too much. As a result, his character had flaws since he was a child. He was too selfish, so he would not be surprised if he behaved like this later.
, the only blame is that I didn’t teach him well at that time...
Now that Zhou Lin has been executed and everything has become dusty in the past, he does not want to talk about it anymore. Speaking of his third uncle's condition, Da Yue can still control it, but it will not hinder his physical danger. As for the traces of ambergris this time, we have another
After talking about it for a while, everyone lamented that it was too precious.
We hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so we talked until very late that day. Both the third uncle and the younger uncle were happy about the growth of Zamao Xiaodao and I, saying that we were the best, and that together we could reach heights that even they could not reach. Then the senior brother returned, and there was another
After exchanging pleasantries with emotion.
We didn't talk about anything else for the night, and the next morning we said goodbye to our two uncles from the Xiao family. Guo Yizhi drove us to the foot of Maoshan Mountain and then walked up the mountain.
The Maoshan Sect is different from the pavilions and pavilions that the world has seen, but Senior Brother Lao Ma knows the way, so there is no need for me to worry.
This trip was my first official contact with this top Taoist sect in China.
