Back to the early Tang Dynasty as a fairy Chapter 466: Rewarding the good without punishing the evil leads to chaos; punishing the evil without rewarding the good leads to chaos.
Chapter 466: Rewarding the good without punishing the evil leads to chaos; punishing the evil without rewarding the good leads to chaos.
The current situation in Qingduguan is very polarized...
Pilgrims gather near the main entrance of the Taoist temple, and sometimes the queue for offering incense can line up from the temple of a certain city god inside the gate to the street, and the incense is very strong.
On the contrary, the number of residents living around the Taoist temple has become less and less...
Of course, this is not to say that no one wants to live around Qingdu Temple, but it is said that a rare wealthy man bought all the houses around Qingdu Temple at a price that was irresistible.
At first, people suspected that a certain nobleman had taken a fancy to Qingduguan and wanted to build a luxurious mansion here. However, until now, there has been no movement, just like the wealthy man who bought this place.
The houses are here just to be vacant.
Whoosh!
After a soft sound, a woman wearing tattered palace clothes, with several blood stains vaguely visible from the opening, suddenly appeared out of thin air, landed in front of the door of a small courtyard on the side of Qingdu Temple, and knelt down with a thud.
Fell to the ground.
"Master, help!"
The next moment, a man in red with empty hands appeared in front of the courtyard door like a ghost.
"Oh no... no wonder King Qin Dasuo spent so many days in Chang'an and still couldn't find the hiding place of Yinniang, the contemporary Yinniang of Yinmen. No one would have thought that Yinniang, the protector of Buddhism, would be hiding next to the Taoist temple.
only……"
The man in red lowered his head and looked at Pei Xinru who was kneeling on the ground.
"You, the master, don't seem to care much about your safety. You are kneeling here, and she didn't even show up."
"snort!"
Pei Xinru raised her head and looked at the man in red with contempt.
"It's a pity that you still want to compete with my master, but you can't even see whether my master shows up..."
As if to match her words, before she finished speaking, the man in red felt a strong wind coming from behind his ears. He immediately leaned forward without thinking, and then stretched out his hands, using a pair of shining short blades.
It appeared in his hands.
The next moment, the man in red was already leaning over, and the double blades in his hands were lifted back and stabbed out! But just halfway through the stabbing, he felt his hands heavy, as if they were pressed down by something heavy. Red
The man in clothes' expression changed slightly, and he took a step forward again, raised his fingers, and the double blades in his hands spun into a pair of rings and flew out.
laugh!
There was an undetectable sound in the air, and then the body of the man in red rolled on the ground and rushed under the corner. The body also changed its direction through this roll.
Snapped!
The man in red stretched out his hand and caught the two short blades that flew back, with a solemn look on his face.
"Hey, hey, hey...has Master changed his gender?"
At this time, in the small courtyard, a big lolita with a bun was leaning against the door. While looking out, she thought she was whispering.
"Someone actually cut off her fly whisk, and she jumped up without anger. I remember two days ago, I accidentally singed a little bit of her tail, and she gave me a good beating."
A big loli dressed in men's clothing stood beside her, looked at her helplessly, and blinked silently.
At this time, outside the door of the small courtyard, a nun in gray robes listened to the sound coming from the courtyard. The corners of his mouth twitched, and then he looked at the whisk tail in his hand that was almost cut into two pieces with some heartache.
He cast his gaze on the man in red.
"Are you the best of this generation?"
The nun shook her head slightly.
"The response is not bad, but the foundation is still not enough..."
As she said that, the nun casually threw the wasted fly whisk in her hand on the ground.
"Let's go. There is a poor nun here today. It is impossible for you to kill the poor nun's disciples."
"master……"
After hearing what the nun said, the man in red, Jing Jing'er, had not yet spoken, but Pei Xinru next to him had already prostrated on the ground with a look of grief and indignation.
"This man intends to kill my disciple, are you going to let him go like this?"
"So what?"
The nun turned to look at Pei Xinru. Although her eyes were gentle, they contained sharpness.
"The poor nun heard a saying in Qingdu and thought it was very reasonable. The so-called murderers should be killed! Since I, the Yin Sect, are sharp and upright in the world, then others can be killed, so can I, the disciples of the Yin Sect, be an exception?
?"
"Hehe...hehe...hahaha..."
After hearing what the nun said, the man in red suddenly laughed.
"That's right! Ever since a certain family held the sword, they never thought that they would die on the bed..."
As he spoke, he bowed slightly, moved his hands forward and back, and assumed an attacking posture.
"A certain family lost a hand just now, but a certain family still wants to see how strong the contemporary Yin Niang is..."
"I don't want to fight with you..."
Facing the man in red's invitation to fight, the nun waved her hand indifferently.
"Your swordsmanship has been seen by the poor nun just now, and you have learned it well, but it is nothing more than that. It is still inferior to the elites of the previous generation, and it does not attract the interest of the poor nun at all. And your foundation is...
...If you start a fight with a poor nun, you will definitely lose!"
"Hahaha……"
Jing Jing'er stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.
"You won't know who wins or loses until you fight."
"But the poor nun is not interested!"
The nun in gray clothes waved her hands casually, with an indifferent look on her face.
"You'd better go..."
"master!"
At this moment, Pei Xinru, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly kowtowed on the ground, then raised his hands, holding a letter upright.
"This is a letter from Master Ji Zang to you. He said that you owed him a favor in the past, and now he has transferred this favor to me. Now my disciple uses this favor to ask Master to take action to kill Jing Jing'er.
Master Ji Zang takes revenge!"
After hearing what Pei Xinru said, the baobao-headed lolita in the yard muttered again.
"Senior sister, when did our master owe Monk Jizang any favors? The last time she talked about Monk Jizang, didn't she angrily say that she was late and would have hacked him to death if she had come two days earlier?"
Regarding the words of the big Lolita with Baotou, the big Lolita in men's clothing also seemed to find it strange. She shook her head silently, indicating that she didn't know.
"Is this what Monk Jizang said?"
The nun in gray sneered, and with a flick of her finger, the letter that Pei Xinru held in her hand suddenly flew up and fell directly into her hand. Then she rubbed her palms together without hesitation, and the envelope was completely destroyed.
.
"You're kidding, when has this poor nun ever owed her a favor..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the face of the nun in gray becoming serious. Then, without even reading the letter, the nun in gray shook his hand and put the letter into his sleeve.
inside.
Then, the nun in gray turned her head and said to Pei Xinru in a calm tone.
"You were deceived by Jizang. The nun doesn't owe him any favors. In this letter, he just told a secret that the nun always wanted to know. But for the sake of this secret, the nun owes him no favors.
It's all right. Are you sure you want to trade this secret in exchange for a nun's hand?"
Pei Xinru had a confused look on her face, and she never thought that what Monk Jizang told her before he died was not true.
However, this confusion did not last long. After a few seconds, a determined look appeared on her face, and then she knelt down and kowtowed to the nun in gray.
"That's right, I also ask the master to take action and kill Jing Jing'er!"
"good!"
Looking at Pei Xinru's actions, a look of pain flashed through the nun's eyes, and then she nodded gently.
"The poor nun agreed to this matter!"
Then, she turned to look at the Jing Jing'er who was standing in the corner, already eager to try, with an excited face, clasped her hands together, and bowed slightly.
"Jing Jing'er, since you insist on asking the poor nun for advice, then please get on your way!"
…
puff!
After a slight sound of water, Kong Qing, dressed in white, tapped an ancient sword at his feet and jumped out of the water in Zhaotan. Then, in the eyes of Gao Yu and Tang Goubie on the side, his body seemed to slip.
Like water, it moved back and forth lightly on the surface of Zhaotan.
As his sleeves fluttered, the bodies of the three huge white fish disappeared without a trace. If the strands of blood of the fish monsters were not still there on the surface of the pool, Gao Yu would have doubted whether he had done something.
Like a dream.
call!
A breeze blew by, and Kong Qing was carrying the little milk cat on his shoulders, floating in the air. The flying sword he was stepping on flew up on its own when he landed on the ground, and was inserted into the scabbard behind him.
"High Priest..."
Kong Qing raised his hand and bowed lightly to Gao Yu.
"The man-eating monster in Zhaotan is dead!"
"Thank you, little Taoist priest... No, I should be grateful to the real person for helping us get rid of the harm in Zhaotan..."
Looking like the little milk cat on his shoulder, Gao Yu's eyes were filled with reverence unconsciously.
"If it weren't for you, the real person, these three monsters would have eaten many monks, Taoist priests and scholars here in Zhaotan. It's fine now. The monsters are gone and the matter is over. We, the people here in Zhaotan, can also
I feel at ease."
After hearing Gao Yu's words, Kong Qing's eyebrows twitched silently and he glanced at Tang Goubie next to him.
It's surprising that Changsha can have such rampant cannibalistic monsters, and Tang Goubie didn't even report it to the Taishi Bureau. It's simply too much... Let's forget about monks and scholars. After all, there are so many of them that the whole of Changsha can survive.
How many Taoist priests can afford to eat one today and one tomorrow?
It seems that the report from Changsha Xuantan cannot be fully trusted!
"High Priest..."
Kong Qing had a smile on his face and patted Gao Yu's shoulder.
"You are wrong, this matter is not over yet!"
"not end yet?"
Gao Yu looked at Kong Qing with some confusion.
"Weren't all the monsters wiped out by you, the real person? Is there anything that's not over yet..."
"The monster is indeed eliminated, but..."
Kong Qing arranged Gao Yu's shoulders again with his hands.
"Chief Gao, you risked your own life to save people without caring about whether you would be angered if you offended the monster. This kind of behavior of yours has not yet been rewarded by Pindao!"
"Oh, it's this..."
After Gao Yu heard Kong Qing's words, he immediately waved his hands with an honest look.
"What kind of reward is needed for saving people? You, Taoist Priest, went too far. I'm embarrassed..."
"you are wrong……"
Seeing Gao Yu's honest look, the look of approval on Kong Qing's face became even heavier.
"Rewarding good but not punishing evil is chaos; punishing evil but not rewarding good is also chaos. Without your righteous act today, there would not have been the result of those three monsters being killed, so..."
Kong Qing thought for a moment, then took out a talisman carved from peach wood from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Yu's hand.
"Since you are a Confucian scholar, you should know that the imperial court is currently recruiting scholars. Now Pindao will give you this talisman. If you take this talisman to Chang'an, Pindao will guarantee that you will become famous and pass the imperial examination."
