Chapter 770: Junior Sister, Lao Qi is not a good person either!
Su Mingzhe slowly spoke out what he thought was true, with sincere words and sincere expression, and finally looked at everyone with bright eyes.
He thought he could gain more admiration.
Unfortunately, when he looked around, he saw everyone looking at him in surprise and even alienation.
In the end, Lu Xueqi bit the bullet and said:
"Senior brother, although our Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple are both one of the three sects of the Righteous Way, our Qingyun Sect belongs to the Sanqing Taoist lineage and worships the following: Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
Whatever Buddhist verse you said today, you must never say it again in front of other people in the future. Otherwise, if Master Cangsong finds out, he will definitely think that you are learning from others outside, and your Taoism is not strong, at least.
You will be punished by going to the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall in Houshan to face the wall and reflect on your faults."
"Really or not?"
Su Mingzhe couldn't help but smile after hearing Lu Xueqi's words:
"I just said a few verses of Buddha's verses, and then I have to face the wall and think about my fault. Is it so serious?"
"real."
Seeing that Su Mingzhe didn't seem to take it seriously, Wen Min quickly told an old incident.
More than fifty years ago, that is, after the last Seven Meridians Competition, according to the rules of the Qingyun Sect, the top few who won the competition had to go out and travel around the world to make the Qingyun Sect famous.
One of the disciples made friends with a young monk from Tianyin Temple when he was traveling abroad. The two had a good relationship. They traveled together and competed with each other on their skills. They also learned a lot of Tianyin Temple's demon-conquering methods.
After he returned to the mountain, he reported his experience to his master, and was then punished by Cangsong Taoist Priest, who was in charge of punishments, and was sentenced to go to the back mountain to face the wall and meditate for ten years.
When everyone present heard about this old incident, they still looked sad as they thought of Master Cangsong's harsh punishment.
"It's so ridiculous!"
After Su Mingzhe heard what Wen Min said, he couldn't help but stare, and wanted to yell at Taoist Cangsong, an undercover agent of the demon sect, for being too cruel and vicious.
However, before he opened his mouth, he thought again and swallowed the curse words.
The level of cultural knowledge in the "Zhu Xian" plane is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In this world, there is no concept of country, no idea of loyalty to the emperor and service to the country, but special emphasis is placed on the inheritance of the teacher's teachings.
I have no evidence and want to scold Cangsong for being sinister and despicable. I am afraid that not only will no one believe me, but the entire Qingyun Sect, and even the entire righteous way, will think that I am a deviant, deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.
"Forget it, it won't be too late to reveal his identity after Monk Puzhi of Tianyin Temple arrives."
After making up his mind, Su Mingzhe's expression returned to normal. Facing the still worried eyes of everyone, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Since Senior Sister Wenmin has told such an old story, let me tell you a story too."
"Before I entered Qingyun Gate, I heard a story about an old Taoist priest and a young Taoist priest."
"In the story, an old Taoist priest traveled around with his disciples, helping the world and saving people."
"The old Taoist priest met a family at a funeral and asked about it before he found out that it was the woman from that family who died in childbirth. The old Taoist priest used all his power to understand that although the pregnant woman had a difficult childbirth, there was still a glimmer of hope, so he quickly opened the coffin and took action himself.
Deliver the baby to the woman."
"The young Taoist priest was very surprised when he saw this, because his master often taught him that as a monk, you must be careful to avoid wine, meat, wealth, and sex when you go out."
"However, his master actually delivered a baby to a woman today, which made him doubt his morality."
"After the old Taoist priest returned the delivered child to the family, he took the little Taoist priest and continued on his way."
"The young Taoist priest was thinking hard and kept remembering this incident. After two days, he couldn't understand his confusion, so he asked the old Taoist priest why he broke the monk's commandments and touched women."
When Su Mingzhe told the story to this point, his tone was calm and his eyes looked at everyone calmly.
Everyone present, both men and women, laughed unnaturally.
Only Tian Linger was too young to understand the truth behind it. She could only blink her big eyes and look at Su Mingzhe curiously, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing that everyone's mood had eased, Su Mingzhe slowly continued to preach:
"When the old Taoist priest heard what his disciple said, he burst into laughter: 'Disciple, I gave birth to that woman, but I just touched her a little while delivering the baby. After delivering the child, I just gave birth to the child."
Let this matter go. But you, on the other hand, have carried that woman in your heart for so long?'"
While the female disciples of Xiaozhufeng were thinking carefully about the meaning of the story, Du Bishu, who had returned from unknown time, broke the silence with a smile and said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Su, did you make up this story yourself?"
Everyone was confused and looked at him quickly: "Junior Brother Su made up this story?"
"good!"
When Du Bishu saw everyone looking at him, he immediately said proudly:
"I heard a similar story before I entered the mountain gate, but the content of the story was that an old monk was crossed by a woman and questioned by a young monk."
Du Bishu was afraid that others would not believe him, so he quickly told the story of the old monk carrying the woman across the river, and then being questioned by the young monk.
After hearing Du Bishu's story, everyone was hesitant and looked at Su Mingzhe, waiting for his explanation.
Su Mingzhe smiled slightly, spread his hands, and said calmly:
"In the story, does it matter whether you are helping a woman deliver her baby or carrying her across a river? Does it make any difference whether it is done by an old monk or an old Taoist priest?"
"Whether an old Taoist priest is delivering a woman's baby, or an old monk is carrying a woman across a river, they all have a heart to help the world."
"But you, after listening to a story that persuades people to do good, are still attached to Buddha and Tao. Aren't the shackles you are carrying in your hearts a little too much?"
When everyone heard the word 'shackles' again, they suddenly looked embarrassed.
Just now, Su Mingzhe accused Lu Xueqi of having to bear too many shackles, so she could only practice with half the effort, and even forced herself to practice, resulting in seven injuries.
Now, Su Mingzhe continues to accuse everyone of being shackles and adhering to the "Buddhist and Taoist school concepts". This is almost a slap in the face.
Su Mingzhe didn't know what everyone was thinking, but when he saw everyone looking ashamed, he smiled calmly:
"Finally, let me give you a message: Buddha is the Tao!"
Su Mingzhe knew that these disciples had average understanding and it would take a while for them to understand what he said. Therefore, after saying this, he turned around and went to have a picnic without waiting for them to understand.
A group of disciples were left looking at each other in confusion. They glanced at each other first, and then began to whisper and discuss in a low voice.
As the saying goes, the truth cannot be discerned!
As Taoists, these disciples have never experienced the mortal world, and the 'Tao' in their eyes is actually the 'Tao' of their teacher.
If they want to strengthen their Taoist heart, they must go through the world of mortals.
On the other side, Su Mingzhe checked the prey that Du Bishu had shot.
There were six hares, two pheasants, and one deer in total.
Su Mingzhe started to peel and wash while lighting the fire.
In front of this group of Qingyun Sect disciples, Su Mingzhe did not need to hide his abilities and directly used his magic power to process various barbecue ingredients.
In just a moment, Su Mingzhe finished processing the ingredients and started smoking them.
The disciples of Xiaozhufeng looked at Su Mingzhe who was preparing a picnic for everyone. For a moment, they felt quite confused in time and space.
Just now, Junior Brother Su was pretending to be a master, talking eloquently, explaining the cultivation method to everyone, and instilling chicken soup for the soul.
Now, Su Mingzhe has transformed into a chef, with a calm expression and skillful movements, without any airs of a master from the Qing Dynasty.
The disciples of Xiaozhufeng couldn't believe the naturalness of this identity transformation, and they suspected that they were dazzled and had made a mistake.
"Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Su is in your Dazhu Peak, do you still need to cook?"
Lu Xueqi is the one with the strongest psychological fluctuations.
After she became a disciple of Xiaozhufeng Shuiyue, because of her talent, she was taken care of by her masters and senior sisters since she was a child.
It can be said that at Xiaozhu Peak, Lu Xueqi did not need to do anything except practice.
Now compare it to Su Mingzhe, who is also a genius.
Lu Xueqi is really... too 'ungrounded'.
Du Bishu saw that the person asking the question was Lu Xueqi, the most beautiful among Xiaozhufeng's disciples. Without waiting for the senior brother to answer, he rushed to answer her question:
"Junior Sister Lu, this is our rule at Dazhu Peak. The youngest disciple is responsible for the 'heavy kitchen'. Xiaoqi is the latest to start at our Dazhu Peak, so the cooking duties are naturally left to him."
Among the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak, except for Lu Xueqi who is not interested in worldly affairs, the other disciples all know the rules of Dazhu Peak.
After all, they have been apprentices for decades and know some of the rules of other peaks.
It's just that rules are rules, but shouldn't a talented disciple like Su Mingzhe be made an exception?
Just like the story Su Mingzhe just told, everyone should use rules and regulations flexibly.
The disciples of Xiaozhufeng came to visit Su Mingzhe today and were destined to receive a spiritual baptism.
The picnic is over.
Su Mingzhe and several senior brothers saw off Xiaozhufeng's senior sisters.
Only then did Suru and Tian Buyi appear, and told them about their decision to let Tian Linger, Du Bishu, and Su Mingzhe go down the mountain to practice.
"Dad, Mom, can I go down the mountain too?"
Tian Linger didn't expect that she was only ten years old and could actually go down the mountain!
She thought that it would take at least ten or eight years before she wanted to go down the mountain to experience it!
"When you go down the mountain, you must listen to your two senior brothers!"
Tian Buyi sighed and looked at his young disciple.
Just now, when Su Mingzhe was explaining the cultivation method to Xiaozhufeng disciples, Tian Buyi and his wife also hid aside and listened for a while.
Both husband and wife agree with Su Mingzhe's point of view.
It was also after hearing Su Mingzhe's opinion that Tian Buyi decided that the three-person team that was originally going to have Du Bishu as the leader would be replaced by Su Mingzhe.
With Tian Buyi and Suru's approval, Su Mingzhe, Tian Linger, and Du Bishu quickly prepared their bags.
"It's a pity that I have only watched Xue Qi's sword dance once. I hope I can go back quickly this time when I go down the mountain!"
Su Mingzhe is not very eager to go down the mountain to experience.
After all, for him, the mortal world at the foot of the mountain has long lost its appeal to him.
However, Tian Linger and Du Bishu were particularly excited.
Du Bishu went up the mountain only once eight years ago.
Tian Linger was even worse. After he was born, he spent most of his time at Dazhu Peak and Xiaozhu Peak.
She only went down the mountain once, seven years ago, when she was three years old, she went to her grandpa's house for a few days.
Now, Tian Buyi asked Tian Linger to go down the mountain with his two senior brothers. Tian Linger thought that he could play freely, so naturally he was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several nights.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to go down the mountain.
Tian Buyi had already prepared luggage for the three of them.
Suru also made two furnaces of bigu pills, detoxifying pills, etc. for the three of them.
"Master, Master, and fellow senior brothers, take care!"
Su Mingzhe, who was open-minded, got on the big horse first and ran down the mountain.
According to the rules, the three of them were not allowed to wear the uniforms of Qingyun Sect disciples during this trip. Instead, they dressed up as ordinary people.
The three of them rode down the mountain and sang songs all the way, which was quite carefree and unrestrained.
All the way out of the Qingyun Gate, away from the defensive formation.
Tian Linger smiled this time and said:
"Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, where should we go first after we come down from the mountain?"
"Of course we'll go to Heyang City first!"
Su Mingzhe and Du Bishu laughed in unison.
Heyang City is the closest human city to Qingyun Gate. Because of its important geographical location and prosperous commerce, it has a permanent population of 200,000 to 300,000 people.
In ancient times when productivity was low, a city with a population of two to three hundred thousand people was undoubtedly a large city.
It is written in the book that it takes about half a day to fly with a sword from Qingyun Mountain to Heyang City.
This means that the straight-line distance is about three hundred miles.
Now Du Bishu has no magic weapon and cannot fly in the air.
Su Mingzhe and Tian Linger could only ride horses together and take various detours in the mountains.
The straight-line distance that was originally three to five hundred miles suddenly became a thousand miles away.
The three of them rode on horseback, sometimes watching the scenery and sometimes resting. The speed was not much faster than walking.
It was only when it got dark that the three of them left the Qingyun Mountain area.
"Sixth Senior Brother, Junior Sister, it's already getting dark. Let's go to Caomiao Village in front of us to have a rest before we continue our journey tomorrow, shall we?"
Seeing that the two of them were still in high spirits, Su Mingzhe walked forward along the road and quickly stopped them.
"Okay, I happen to be hungry too, so I want to eat something down the mountain."
Tian Linger really felt a little hungry and wanted to eat the food cooked by Su Mingzhe.
Du Bishu's eyes flickered, and then he asked Su Mingzhe in surprise:
"Lao Qi, how do you know that Caomiao Village is ahead? Have you secretly come down the mountain?"
"Well, I did come."
Su Mingzhe didn't expect Du Bishu to be so careful. He just said a casual word and let him catch a little secret, so he had to explain casually:
"When I was practicing sword flying before, I went down the mountain several times and came to Caomiao Village."
"Lao Qi, have you just been to Caomiao Village? I'm afraid you've been to Heyang City too, right?"
Du Bishu retorted triumphantly.
He thought to himself that if he was practicing sword flying and there were no other things to interfere with him, he would definitely go to a prosperous place like Heyang City to play frequently.
Therefore, after comparing his feelings, he guessed that Su Mingzhe must have been to Heyang City.
"I don't!"
Su Mingzhe faced the cross-examination of Sixth Senior Brother and flatly objected:
"It takes a whole day to fly back and forth to Heyang City. I have to cook for everyone every day. How can I have so much time to go to Heyang City?"
After hearing Su Mingzhe's explanation, Tian Linger quickly helped and said:
"That's right, that's right, Sixth Senior Brother, don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart and wrongly accuse Seventh Senior Brother!"
Du Bishu didn't expect that his junior sister would be on the same front as his junior brother. He was so angry that he couldn't help but speak and revealed a secret of the Qingyun Sect disciples:
"Little Junior Sister, don't be deceived by Old Seventh! He is not a good person. He even secretly went to watch Junior Sister Xiaozhufeng practice sword formation..."
