An ox cart has been parked at the gate of the county government office since dawn. There is a wooden cage on the cart. As soon as I passed the gate of the county government office, it was already full of people. Everyone knew that the living god Yun Qingzi would be escorted to Lin'an today.
, as soon as you enter the Dali Temple, you will really become a god.
Among the crowd were Shangguan Yanran and Xiang Xiaotian, and the gate of the county government office slowly opened. Kaifai Tai came out of the government office with two rows of government servants. When he saw Shangguan Yanran, he said with a troubled face: "Miss Shangguan, it's not long before noon."
I don’t know, girl…”
Shangguan Yanran frowned and said: "Master Zhang, my senior brother has already gone to Liu Datong's home. I hope he will gain something."
"Yes, my brother is very capable! Just wait and see."
"Then I hope Taoist priest Yun Qingzi can turn the danger into good." Kaitai returned to the Yamen with his hands in hand.
There is a sundial at the entrance of every yamen, a copper needle as long as a chopstick standing on a stone plate with the time engraved on it. During the day, the sunlight shines on the copper needle and projects it onto the stone plate to determine the time. At night, an hourglass, water leakage or more must be used to determine the time.
Let’s look at the time. It’s less than a quarter of noon on the sundial. Two government servants came out of the government office and opened the wooden cage of the oxcart. These two brothers should be the messengers who sent the prisoners away. There will be the messengers to pick up the prisoners when they arrive at Dali Temple. Please hand in the documents.
It is only when you are proven dead that you are done. Riding in an ox-cart is also very particular. Only those who are over sixty years old and have not been convicted can have this treatment. If you are under 60 years old, no matter how far away you are, you have to wear shackles and walk alone.
If someone who has been convicted of a capital crime goes to the vegetable market for surgery, it must be done in a horse-drawn carriage. So in some places, it is said that riding in an ox-cart is an insult and will make you die...
"It's noon, and the prisoners are on their way." A yamen servant carrying a gong came out and beat the gong three times. After beating the gong three times, two yamen servants in the county yamen brought out Yun Qingzi, who was wearing a plain prison uniform.
Yun Qingzi, who is nearly seventy years old, has shackles on her hands and feet, but she is still in good spirits. When she comes out, she sees so many people coming to see her off, and she frequently raises her hands and nods to say hello to people she knows, and she even smiles at Shangguan Yanran when she sees her...
…
After escorting Yun Qingzi to the ox cart, the cart had traveled more than ten feet before the four-horse cart from Liu Datong's family arrived. After stopping the ox cart, Liu Datong shouted: "It's wrong, Taoist Yun Qingzi is wrong..."
Dengdeng ran all the way to Magistrate Kaitai, knelt down on the ground and told the truth...
As soon as Chen Mengsheng got off the carriage, he let Xiang Xiaotian pull him over and asked urgently: "Brother, you are finally here. If you don't come again, I will die of anxiety."
"Brother, junior sister. It turns out that they should have been here a long time ago. Before leaving the house, Mr. Xue woke up. Liu Datong, mother and son, cried bitterly, so they were delayed."
Since it was Liu Datong, the master of suffering, who came to excuse Yun Qingzi, Kaitai ordered Yun Qingzi to be released on the spot, and took Liu Datong back to the Yamen to write his official document and submit it to Prime Minister Zhang Jun.
Yun Qingzi was hired by his apprentice Shangguan Yanran and others to drive back to the Danding Sect, and introduced Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian to his master. Yun Qingzi looked at Chen Mengsheng, who was in his twenties, and laughed loudly and said: "Young people are scary, I don't know where I can learn from them?"
"
Chen Mengsheng just smiled and said: "This disciple has only learned a little bit of Taoism, and he dare not mention the master." This is the truth, and it is not Chen Mengsheng showing off. If he said that he was the disciple of Chi Jingjing of Yunxiao Cave in Taihua Mountain, he would probably
It will scare Yun Qingzi...
Xiang Xiaotian is also a smart man. Seeing Chen Mengsheng's reluctance to speak, he changed the subject and asked: "Brother, how can you let him excuse Senior Yun when you are at Liu Datong's house?"
Chen Mengsheng told everything that happened to him at Liu Datong's house. Shangguan Yanran and Xiang Xiaotian's eyes widened when they heard it. Xiang Xiaotian even shouted that they would go to Guandi Temple together to find out the identity of the dark man.
Soul...
Chen Mengsheng bowed his head to Yun Qingzi and said: "Disciple met the Pig Woman Dragon in Huzhou Prefecture. Together with the elder brother, we could only destroy the demon's illusory body but could not kill its body. There is also ice soul turned into ice by the ghost in the clear water cold pool. Let's go down
If I can't get to Hantan, I hope my uncle can help me."
After hearing this, Yun Qingzi frowned and said: "If you want to make elixirs, I know a little bit about it, but I really don't have to worry about conquering demons. If Wu Yazi can come out of the mountain, this matter will be easy to handle.
"
"This disciple comes here just to invite Wu Yazi. Can you introduce me to him, uncle?"
"Haha, I can't even break the trapped immortal formation myself. I heard that there is a Bagua diagram in the trapped immortal formation. In the picture, one day of being trapped is one year in the world."
Shangguan Yanran asked in confusion: "In that case, why did the master ask me to find Wu Yazi? If I hadn't met my senior brother?"
"Silly boy, the master asked you to go to Wu Yazi just because he didn't want you to see me being escorted to Lin'an. Going to Lin'an would be a narrow escape, and I don't want you to be sad. It's been almost thirty years since Wu Yazi and I parted ways, alas. He
I ended up in this situation because of the murder of my master. Although it was unintentional, but..."
"Killing a master? This Wu Yazi actually committed such evil deeds?" Xiang Xiaotian asked in surprise.
"It's a long story. More than 40 years ago, I first came to Pingyang Mansion to open the Danding Sect. At that time, there was a Sanqing Temple on Luoxia Mountain, and the owner of the temple was Tianyan from the Tianshi Sect.
Taoist priest, this man has fifty disciples. Later, Emperor Gaozong conquered Taoism to fight against the Jin Dynasty. Taoist priest Tianyan, I, and those disciples were all recruited into the Song army, and we were defeated..." Yun Qingzi felt sad and angry...
Shangguan Yanran said softly: "Master, it has been so many years, why bother to feel sad anymore."
"Haha, people talk a lot when they get older. Now that the Alchemy Sect has been closed down, it is enough for the master to have you."
"Master, you are making fun of me again." Shangguan Yanran looked shy when she saw everyone looking at her.
"Master, what happened next?" Chen Mengsheng asked.
"Then we fled with the people. The Song army had already escaped. But how could we escape the Jin's cavalry? The people were about to be massacred. Taoist Master Tianyan led his disciples to cast spells to kill them.
The enemy suddenly roared with wind, thunder, lightning and fire. The Jin man was killed and retreated thirty miles, and most of Tianyan Taoist's disciples were also killed or injured..."
"A good man has a bloody spirit. This is a great hero who is strong and strong." Xiang Xiaotian extended his thumbs up and praised.
"Hero? We were surrounded by the Golden Army. More than 5,000 civilians were massacred in front of my eyes. One of Taoist Tianyan's arms was cut off, and only one Fengqiu was left among the fifty disciples. I don't know myself.
After killing so many Jin soldiers, our minds were already numb. Finally, Marshal Han led his troops to rescue us, and the Jin soldiers were killed and retreated. Taoist Tianyan and I looked among the corpses to see if there were any survivors. A woman came to our rescue.
A foot-long gash was opened on her back, and she was holding a child under one year old in her arms. Before she died, the woman asked Taoist Master Tianyan to take the child, so we knew her surname was Wu."
"Master, is this child Wu Yazi?"
"Yes, after Tianyan Taoist returned to Luoxia Mountain, he used the one-armed thunder technique to level the Sanqing Temple. The country was destroyed, what's the use of leaving a Taoist temple... From then on, Tianyan Taoist became very extreme.
After that, he took his two disciples to live in seclusion in Luoxia Mountain and stopped caring about worldly affairs. Later, before Fengqiu left the army, he erected a monument without words in Luoxia Mountain and traveled around the world. I heard that he called himself a crazy Taoist, and he had been there for more than ten years.
I came back once a year ago and never heard from her again.”
"Master, then why did Wu Yazi kill his master?"
"Wu Yazi is not an ordinary person. After eighteen years of studying Taoism, he is no longer inferior to Taoist Tianyan. On his 100th birthday, Taoist Tianyan took Wu Yazi with him to practice Qi in seclusion. After he entered meditation, a flower appeared on his head.
Qinglian, Wu Yazi also entered samadhi like Taoist Tianyan. Who would have thought that a golden toad appeared on Wu Yazi's head, and Wu Yazi's golden toad swallowed Taoist Tianyan's Qinglian..."
Chen Mengsheng was shocked and said: "It turns out that the master and the disciple are both earthly immortals."
"Brother, what do you mean?" Xiang Xiaotian looked at Chen Mengsheng blankly and asked.
"Brother, among the immortals, there are five categories: heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts. Only the immortals and earthly spirits can be transformed from all things in the world. The spirits are the fate of essence. It will not be long before the spirits are destroyed."
"Oh, then his apprentice's soul is more powerful than his master's."
Yun Qingzi smiled and said: "That's it. I have been cultivating Taoism for sixty years and still haven't mastered the soul. Among my many former disciples, Yanran has the best talent and wisdom. If there is a chance in the future, I might be able to refine the soul and jump out of the five elements."
Three Realms."
"Cultivating Taoism actually has such benefits. Tomorrow I will accept my brother as my teacher. He will teach me Taoism and I will become a god, haha."
"Brother, you are joking. Only if you have innate Qi or some adventure the day after tomorrow when you cultivate yourself and practice Taoism, can you become an immortal."
"Master, why did Wu Yazi get trapped in the Peach Blossom Formation after eating his master's soul?"
"Taoist Tianyan suddenly realized that his soul had been devoured, and he was frightened and afraid of his disciple. He was afraid that Wu Yazi would go astray in the future and no one could control him, so he set up a trapped immortal formation before he died. Only those who can
Only those who break his formation can control Wu Yazi. Wu Yazi is too strong, but he can't control it himself. He only made this move out of desperation..."
"Junior sister, Senior Wu Yazi's Taoist behavior is like a sharp blade. If he does good, he benefits the common people, and if he does evil, he harms the world. Taoist Tianyan has sealed this sharp blade first, waiting for someone with the ability to break the seal."
Shangguan Yanran smiled and said: "Senior brother, can't you break through the trapped immortal formation? Then aren't you more powerful than Wu Yazi?"
Chen Mengsheng said in embarrassment: "I learned the formula to break the formation by luck because I knew someone had broken it before. How can I be so good?" Four people were talking in the hall of the Danding Sect when they suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers and the noise of gongs and drums outside the door.
Today, Liu Datong is leading a large group of drummers into the Danding Sect.
Liu Datong came to Yun Qingzi and bowed three times and said: "The fool Liu Datong apologizes to Taoist Master Yun. The Danding sect is in this state due to Liu Datong. Liu Buping must be blamed for his death. Today
I specially offer ten thousand taels of silver to serve as the lintel for the new glory of the Danding Sect."
"Haha, Liu Shanren, you are serious. I meditated in the county prison for several days. I finally figured out something that has troubled me for more than 40 years. Yun Qingzi wants to thank you." Everyone saw the cloud.
Qingzi said it sincerely and not in a pretentious manner.
"Master, what do you want to understand?"
"Haha, my master was just as arrogant as you more than forty years ago. He always wanted to do great things, but after the battle against the Jin people, I realized how many orphans and widows would be created out of thin air in order to do great things.
Mother's tears, I simply ignored worldly affairs and concentrated on cultivating Taoism and refining elixirs. Xue's incident put me in jail and my life was hanging by a thread. Only then did I understand that life, such as morning dew, utilitarianism and false fame, are all fleeting. But the only thing I can't worry about as a teacher is
