Zhang Hongfa is over fifty years old, his temples are gray and his beard has not been shaved yet.
Li Changkong was really unbearable when he looked at him so affectionately, so he responded: "Hello... senior brother!"
"Okay! Okay! Junior brother!"
"Since you have admitted it, we should take you back to Wugong Mountain sooner rather than later to recognize your ancestors!"
Zhang Hongfa became completely excited and wanted to pull Li Changkong up the mountain.
But Li Changkong excused himself and said, "Senior brother, do the conditions you told my father before still count? Just marry a wife and have children. You don't need to go to a Taoist temple and practice at home."
"It's just a matter of fact. How can we in the Taoist sect have so many rules? Wherever we practice is not practice, remember when the master traveled around, he practiced in a pig pen?"
"As long as you are dedicated to the Tao, it won't be a problem."
"Senior brother, if you want to say that, I have no problem. We will go back to Wugong Mountain to recognize our ancestors and return to our clan!"
Two hours later, on Wugong Mountain.
Li Changkong looked at the statue of Emperor Zhenwu and the plaque of Lu Daoling in front of him, and bowed sincerely three times.
Then he stood up, took the tea from Zhang Hongfa's hand, handed it to the slip, and placed it in front of Lu Daoling's plaque.
This is considered an introduction.
From now on, he, Li Changkong, is the only Hong generation disciple of the Tianyi Sect, with the Taoist name: Hongkong!
Chen Qianyuan outside the door looked at this scene and was so dumbfounded that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
What is this thing called?
He originally expected his master to go down the mountain to talk to others and stand up for him.
It's a good thing now that his master directly led the people up the mountain, joined the religion, and became his master's uncle.
Who can I talk to to reason with this?
What a sin!
After paying homage to his master, Li Changkong looked at Zhang Hongfa and asked, "Senior brother, am I the biggest in the temple now besides you?"
"You are also my master's apprentice, and we are both of the same generation. My senior brother is just on the same level as you." Zhang Hongfa said with a smile.
He really didn't expect that even though he was over fifty, he could still recruit a junior disciple for his master.
It is truly a great blessing in life!
"Junior brother, I have a few words that are related to my nephew Qianyuan. I don't know whether I should say them or not."
"Qianyuan is your nephew and your junior. If you need to be reprimanded, then do it. Is there anything inappropriate?" Zhang Hongfa patted Li Changkong on the shoulder, as if he was a member of the same family and did not speak to each other.
.
"That's good. It just so happens that Senior Nephew Qianyuan is here, so I'll make it clear."
"Master nephew, do you know why I have stopped you from giving lectures these days?" Li Changkong turned around and faced Chen Qianyuan outside the door.
"Qianyuan is stupid, please tell me from my uncle." Chen Qianyuan's heart skipped a beat, feeling that he was causing trouble for himself.
When Li Changkong heard this, he sighed and said: "There is nothing wrong with preaching about scriptures, but you should never do it under the banner of deposing the crown prince and establishing King Jing!"
"The deposing of the crown prince is a matter of great importance to the country and the country. Even His Majesty does not dare to talk about deposing the crown prince lightly."
"You...how dare you?"
"The reason why our Tianyi Sect has achieved its current glory is all because of our master's sword-fighting on the battlefield. This is a life-saving job!"
"Since we, the disciples and grandchildren, have inherited the legacy of his legacy, we should not only carry forward the Tianyi Sect, but we must at least preserve the inheritance, right?"
"It's a good thing you have to hit the royal family's gun!"
"Do you know how furious the palace was when they heard about this?"
Zhang Hongfa was also shocked when he heard this.
When Chen Qianyuan reported the situation to him before, he did not mention the matter of abolishing the crown prince. He only thought that Chen Qianyuan had lost his lectures outside, so he came to confront him.
I never imagined that there was such a connection here.
"Qianyuan! Are you serious about what your uncle said?" Zhang Hongfa was furious and shouted sharply.
"Yes...it's true." Chen Qianyuan made a plop and knelt on the ground.
"You, you, how dare you? Over the years, you have taken good care of the church and made it prosperous."
"My teacher sees it in my eyes and is happy in my heart."
"So how much money have you been greedy for? As a teacher, you have always turned a blind eye."
"It's so bad now that you dare to make such a huge mistake!"
"Are you trying to drag me, Tianyi Sect, into a state of eternal destruction?"
Zhang Hongfa had been lying down before. Li Changkong felt that this man was a bit like Zhuangzi, aloof and uninterested in anything.
But this time, he really got really angry and rebuked Chen Qianyuan angrily. His words were so intense that it was shocking.
Seeing this, Chen Qianyuan knew that if he didn't give a satisfactory answer today, he might not be able to stay any longer.
So he simply gritted his teeth and said, "Master, uncle, forgive me!"
"How can Qianyuan, a small person, have such boldness?"
"It's really because this is the will of Emperor Zhenwu!"
"Those pilgrims are not following poor Taoists, but following the Great Emperor!"
"Absurd!" Zhang Hongfa became even more angry, to the point where his hair and beard were all growing, and he angrily shouted: "Emperor Zhenwu has already achieved the true fruition and ascended to immortality and became a god."
"How can I give you a decree? Do you really think that I am a monk and a monk?"
"In a dream! The emperor gave me the edict to abolish the crown prince and establish King Jing in a dream!"
"Master, didn't my little uncle also receive the teachings from his master in his dreams? Then the Zhenwu Emperor must be better than his master. If the master can fall into dreams, so can the emperor!"
Such a sentence completely choked Zhang Hongfa.
Normally, he would have continued to rant.
But with Li Changkong's matter at hand, he really couldn't say for sure about falling into a dream.
It’s hard to say, but have you really received the emperor’s decree?
Those who practice Taoism have always had the attitude of preferring to believe that it exists rather than believing that it does not happen.
Ever since, I was caught in a dilemma for a while.
Li Changkong saw Zhang Hongfa's entanglement, so he took the initiative to stand up and said to Chen Qianyuan: "You said that the prince should be deposed. Is King Zunjing following the decree of Emperor Zhenwu?"
"Yes, Master Mingjian, this matter is absolutely true!"
Chen Qianyuan has already thought about it. No one can say for sure what happened in the dream. As long as he is sure, what can this uncle do no matter how high his status is?
But the next moment, he heard Li Changkong click his tongue and said doubtfully: "That's not right. Emperor Zhenwu came into my dream a year ago and said that the current prince is the reincarnation of his old man, and he will definitely be able to do something in the future.
Such a great achievement, I must help you."
"It doesn't match what you said. How could the Great Emperor destroy his mortal body?"
"Ah?" After hearing this, Chen Qianyuan was stunned and stood there. He wanted to say something, uncle, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
