Chapter 127 Old Master

承和36年西历2016年1月7日10:06定海云霄山云霄观

As the largest Xuanmen temple in Jiangdong Province, Yunxiao Temple has always been the leader in Xuanmen in the southeast. Yunxiao Temple is located in Yunxiao Mountain on the outskirts of Dinghai. Yunxiao Mountain is one of the 36 caves of Xuanmen and has been enshrined by the imperial court in the past dynasties.The current host of Yunxiao Temple, Xiao Daoguang, is over [-] years old. He is highly respected and has many followers everywhere.What is particularly rare is that the old abbot is over seventy years old, but he still insists on meeting believers every month and opening forums to explain Taoist classics. His style of harmony has always been highly praised by people, so he is currently recommended as Jiangdong Xuanmen by all branches of Jiangdong Xuanmen. Association President.

Today is not a weekend, nor is it a special day, but even so, Yunxiao Temple is still as popular as ever. Since the opening of the temple at 8:00 in the morning, a large number of pilgrims have begun to pour into the temple to offer incense.

..............................

In a quiet room in the temple, a middle-aged woman with a rich face was standing up to say goodbye to the old abbot Xiao Daoguang.

"I made a special trip this time. I haven't seen the old immortal for a long time. I miss you so much. It's really blessed by God to see you as healthy as night!" The woman in luxurious clothes said with a smile on her face:

"Secondly, it's also because my son's new house has been completed, and he always needs a handwritten note from the old god to help him stay at home. This makes him feel at ease. Now that his wish is fulfilled, he won't disturb the old god's cultivation any more."

"I'm sending Mrs. Huang off..." Xiao Daoguang saw the woman getting up, so he also smiled and wanted to get up and see her off.

"Sit down, old god, sit down..." Seeing this, the woman hurriedly said, "I don't dare bother you to send me away. This is not the first time I've come to your place..."

"In that case... Jing Yuan, give Mrs. Huang a gift for me."

"Yes, Master." A middle-aged Taoist priest who was accompanying him hurriedly bowed, then extended his hand to greet the woman and led the woman and her maid out of the door.

After about five minutes, the middle-aged Taoist priest left and returned.

"Has Zeng successfully sent it out?" Xiao Daoguang asked.

"Master, don't worry, the disciple personally sent him out of the temple."

"That's good. Chairman Huang's family has always believed in our religion. They are distinguished guests, so don't neglect them." The Speaker Huang mentioned by Xiao Daoguang is the husband of the woman just now, Huang Zhongxuan, the deputy chairman of the Jiangdong Provincial Council.

"Disciple knows the importance."

"Well...is there anything else?" Xiao Daoguang nodded and saw that his disciple was hesitant to speak, so he asked again.

"There is indeed something. There are two people who want to see Master. The leader of them claims to be the assistant director of the Special Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice. His surname is Wang."

"Oh? The Special Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice..." Xiao Daoguang read it silently.

"If the master doesn't want to see him, the disciple will find a reason to send him away..."

"No need," Xiao Daoguang said with a normal expression, "Bring him over."

..............................

When two men in official uniforms were led by a middle-aged Taoist priest to the quiet room, what they saw was Xiao Daoguang, his eyes slightly closed, sitting on a Zen chair with his knees up.

"Master, Mr. Wang is here." The middle-aged Taoist priest came to Xiao Daoguang's ear and whispered in a low voice.

Facing this religious leader who was well-known throughout the southern part of the empire, the older man led by the two did not show any sign of contempt. He handed over his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Well done, I am. Assistant Director of the Special Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice, Wang Yunzhou, whose pseudonym is Zizhan."

"Oh," Xiao Daoguang opened his eyes after realizing it and said with a smile, "I am old and my energy is weak."

After saying that, he made a gesture to get up. Wang Yunzhou was busy politely helping the old abbot back.

So, Xiao Daoguang sat down and bowed his hands to Wang Yunzhou, then made a gesture to invite him to sit down and pointed to the side: "Sit down."

Wang Yunzhou then sat down across the coffee table, while the other person sat further away. The middle-aged Taoist priest on the side poured tea for the two of them, and then stood back behind Xiao Daoguang.

Seeing him sitting down, Xiao Daoguang said again: "What is your noble official doing here?"

Looking at the calm eyes in the smile of the other party, Wang Yunzhou understood in his heart that the person in front of him was not a simple character. If possible, he would want to leave now. Unfortunately, he was busy with official duties, so he could only bite the bullet. On.

"It's true that I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Wang is on official business today, so I have to take the liberty to come and disturb the real person's Qingxiu. I hope you won't be surprised." After saying that, Wang Yunzhou raised his hand again.

Seeing Xiao Daoguang's listening look, Wang Yunzhou added, "You should have heard about the discovery of Song Tianshi's tomb in Linzhou yesterday, right?"

"Of course I know." Xiao Daoguang suppressed his smile when he heard this, and bowed his hands solemnly: "Song Celestial Master is one of the four great Celestial Masters of our religion, and the appearance of his physical tomb is actually a grand event for Xuanmen."

"Although I am not a disciple of Xuanmen, I still admire Tianzun." Wang Yunzhou also bowed his hands, and then said with a smile:

"Recently, it has been reported on the Internet that at the excavation site of Song Tianshi's tomb, it is said that there was a manifestation of the heavenly master. I wonder if real people have heard about it?"

"This matter should be regarded as fact. I have learned the whole story from my colleagues present, and there is video evidence. This matter is undoubtedly conclusive."

"The real person's assertion is a bit hasty. In my personal opinion, whether this matter is true or not requires long-term consideration..."

"There were dozens of people who witnessed this, in full view of everyone, in broad daylight. How can there be anything left to remember?" The smile on Xiao Daoguang's face gradually disappeared.

"What the real person said is wrong. In terms of the current technological development, it may not be true if you see it with your own eyes..."

But Xiao Daoguang stretched out his hand to stop what he was saying, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at Wang Yunzhou: "There are hidden meanings in your words, so you might as well speak frankly."

If possible, Wang Yunzhou did not want to offend the old man in front of him. After all, with his identity and age, he could sit down and discuss things even when he met a member of the royal family.

It was just that I was limited by my responsibilities. I sighed secretly in my heart, but the smile on my face became even brighter. I cupped my hands and said, "I am busy with official duties. If I have offended you with my words, I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing Xiao Daoguang nodded slightly, Wang Yunzhou continued: "This matter of the Heavenly Master's manifestation has received a lot of public attention. The bureau's intention is to hope that all parties can handle it as gently and low-key as possible..."

"Gentle and low-key?" Xiao Daoguang's expression remained as usual, and his tone was calm, as if he was trying to understand what he meant by his words.

"Yes, in general, I still hope that the major media and Taoist scholars will not exaggerate this matter too much, and try not to disturb public opinion..." Wang Yunzhou said while carefully observing Xiao Daoguang's expression. As a senior elite of the Special Crime Investigation Bureau, he naturally knows many ways to judge the emotions of others through subtle expressions. He can now see that the middle-aged Taoist priest standing behind Xiao Daoguang is feeling a little unhappy.

However, with his eyes, he could not see the slightest fluctuation on the face of the old abbot, as if he was facing a deep pool of still water, so he could only continue: "I have heard that Master Su Wen is highly respected and reasonable, so I am taking the liberty today. Came for this.”

Xiao Daoguang closed his eyes and remained silent, and the atmosphere became a little subtle for a while. After a while, he slowly said, "Which Excellency is your intention in this matter?"

"Is it the director of your bureau? Minister Ma of the Ministry of Justice? Or is it someone in the cabinet?"

The old abbot's tone was calm and not sharp at all. However, this question made Wang Yunzhou sweat slightly on his forehead: "This matter is related to Shangfeng. Please forgive me for not being able to tell me directly."

Xiao Daoguang didn't seem to mean to press the question. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you know how I got into Xuanmen and served the Heavenly Lord?"

"I heard a little bit, it seems that the real person's hometown was hit by a famine?" Before coming here, he had already seen Xiao Daoguang's information, but Wang Yunzhou naturally couldn't speak directly at this time, so he said this.

But Xiao Daoguang nodded slightly and recalled with a face: "The old man's ancestral home is Sishui, Chizhou. He lost his father when he was young. He grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village. I still remember that year..."

"The dam collapsed upstream, and the flood washed away the village. The relief food has not been delivered for a long time. The villagers really couldn't give me any leftover food, so they gave me a small bag of rice. I took the rice with me to escape the famine, hoping to find some food. A way to survive..."

"I finished the rice quickly. Along the way, I ate wild vegetables and grass roots. My whole body was swollen with hunger... Fortunately, I found a piece of rice as a sacrifice in front of the Tianzun statue in a small temple. The Youth League just got through it..."

"It's been almost 90 years, and I still remember the deliciousness of the green dumplings back then... Thinking about it now, I really feel the mercy of God."

"At that time, people in the village told me that if I go south, the south will be richer, so I kept walking south for an unknown amount of time. Finally, I couldn't walk anymore and fell hungry on the roadside."

"At that time, I happened to meet my mentor who was walking down the mountain. Seeing that I was young, he felt pity for me, so he took me up the mountain, accepted me as a disciple, and gave me the Dharma name 'Daoguang'. Now that I think about it, he means to enlighten my way. Master He talks to me from ear to ear, treats me like his own son, and teaches me earnestly, as if it was yesterday..."

"Old man is from a poor background and knows that farmers work hard, so he values ​​the land. The rent will not exceed [-]%, and disaster years will be exempted, and relief will be provided."

"In the past few decades, I have set up almshouses, recruited poor people to serve as volunteers to supplement their livelihood, and persuaded believers from large households to donate to charity. I have asked myself that I have a clear conscience for my country. When I meet my mentor in the future, I will be able to explain myself."

"The compassion of a real person has been heard even in the capital." Wang Yunzhou cupped his hands and said.

After listening to the old abbot's chatter for a long time, Wang Yunzhou stood up and left, but was sent out of the gate by the middle-aged Taoist priest with a stiff look on his face.

....................................

"Zi Yan, what do you think of what happened just now?" The two of them walked down the mountain in silence for about 5 minutes, and Wang Yunzhou suddenly asked.

The follower glanced at his boss secretly, and finally shook his head: "Wang Zhu, what exactly does Master Xiao mean... I still don't understand something."

Chapter 128 What can you do to him?

Smiling lightly, Wang Yunzhou shook his head: "Zhenren Xiao's meaning is very clear. In private, Xuanmen has great favors for him, and his ambition is to Guangda sect. In Gong, Xuanmen and even him, Zhenren Xiao, To serve the country and the people with no shame... Do you think this meaning is not clear enough?"

"Then there's nothing to talk about..." The attendant frowned.

"If you don't even want to give me a vegetarian meal, what else is there to talk about?" Wang Yunzhou chuckled and shook his head.

"Is this... using some other means?" the attendant whispered. As a member of a powerful and powerful department, the Special Crime Investigation Bureau naturally has many means of "obeying authority in emergencies."

"What do you want to do with him?"

Wang Yunzhou glanced at his attendant: "What can you do to him?"

"This……"

The attendant was immediately speechless, yes, this is not an ordinary businessman or nobleman.Xuanmen, as an orthodox religion rooted in this land for more than two thousand years, has a history older than the empire, with hundreds of millions of believers, and has a deep-rooted and huge influence at home and abroad, especially in the Eastern Continent.

If you want to do something to a "real person" who has been granted a royal title, if you are not careful, there will be huge waves, and all kinds of open and covert attacks will follow. Maybe, you will die without a burial place...

When the attendant thought of this, he felt slightly cold and did not dare to say anything more.

"Xuanmen, are you really hiding something..."

Thinking of the old abbot's eyes that were as indifferent as a deep pool, and thinking of those vague legends and myths hidden in thousands of years of history, Wang Yunzhou couldn't help but sigh again.Thinking of the "internal information" I had seen recently in the bureau, I suddenly felt that the world had become a little strange...

"That's all... Let's start with the media first."

"Thank you very much, Teacher Yuan. I am very satisfied with this scabbard."

"Hahaha, that's good. Mr. Zhang will be sent away soon."

"Okay, Teacher Yuan, stay."

Coming out of an old house in Qingyuanfang by Yunhu Lake, Zhang Jing looked at the sky. Night had fallen.After he came out of Song Tianshi's mausoleum this morning, he decided to get a scabbard for the "Tianchu Sword" so that he could carry it with him.However, the business of matching sword scabbards is an absolutely unpopular business in modern society. Zhang Jing didn't know where to find such a craftsman, so he could only call Mr. Zheng Han for help.

As expected, the old man knew it well and introduced him to a craftsman named Yuan who lived in Qingyuanfang by Yunhu Lake. It is said that his ancestors were once a craftsman, and the skills passed down to him are now used to make handles, scabbards, and accessories for some ancient weapons. Waiting for a job, because the craftsmanship is good, the business is quite good.

After Zhang Jing came to visit, he originally learned that the goods would be picked up in a week. However, it was naturally impossible for him to store the "Tianchu Sword" here for a week, so he proposed to double the price and pick up the goods on the same day.

Sure enough, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. After paying 1500 yuan, Zhang Jing got the new scabbard in the evening. Although the time was a little short, the workmanship was not ambiguous at all.

The entire scabbard is made of old rosewood that has been dried in the sun for many years. The outer layer is wrapped with pearl fish skin and reinforced with a copper guard ring. The guard ring is mainly strong and durable according to Zhang Jing's requirements, so no hollow carvings are used, only lions are used. Decorated relief.

After Zhang Jing got the scabbard back, he found that it was tight and tight and the craftsmanship was exquisite, so he left with satisfaction.

承和36年西历2016年1月8日09:13云山坊张宅

After two days of healing, Zhang Jing's injuries have almost recovered. However, a considerable part of the spiritual liquid in the Demon Refining Pot has been consumed. Zhang Jing is wondering whether to enter the "Filthy Woodland" world again to replenish it. .

At the same time, as the current stage of cultivation gradually stabilized, Zhang Jing also thought that he could start preparing to advance to the next stage of "Shark Fish", which also required a large amount of spiritual fluid.

After completing his routine practice this morning, Zhang Jing opened the wish book and prepared to take a look at the latest situation.

Special event: A famous Taoist priest from the Southern Qi Dynasty was discovered at a road maintenance site near Yunhu Banshan Pavilion in the main urban area of ​​Linzhou...

Your behavior has led to the "Celestial Master Appearance Incident..." which has attracted attention in a small area.

Your behavior has caused some people to have weak disturbances in their consciousness of materialism and Taoism, and this disturbance is still expanding.

A total of 39683 (32362 points) wishing points were added.

Zhang Jinglue stared at the increase in points in front of him with some surprise. This was the first time for him to see such an increase in points. It increased by more than 30000 points in one go.You know, Master Hua’s previous video that caused a stir on the entire Internet only provided him with an increase of more than 5 wishing points. But now, the increase in one day has been more than half of Master Hua’s incident. amount.

What exactly is going on?Zhang Jing hurriedly turned on the computer and continued to check, and then he discovered that the topic of this "Celestial Master's Appearance" incident was rapidly rising, and not only domestic media, but also foreign media began to reprint the report.In addition, many online media and self-media have also joined in the report, and even begun to dig up the history of Song Tianshi's life. Under this situation, those Xuanmen Gaozhen who have wide influence have also posted on their Weibo, etc. On the other hand, Zhang Jing expressed his views on this incident either in his own name or in the form of asking disciples to take the lead. After Zhang Jing took a look around, he basically set the tone to solidify the incident and paved the way for this manifestation of the Holy Spirit. endorsement.

Of course, since the incident has been fermenting, there are still some objections. For example, some voices have suggested that this is just a self-directed and self-acted propaganda method. After all, 3D image projection is no longer a rare technology in today's era.At least technically, this kind of "manifestation" is not irreproducible.

Since this voice was raised, it has been rapidly amplified in the field of public opinion. Even some experts who claim to be objective have analyzed it from the so-called "rational" perspective. Although they did not directly criticize the Taoist hype by name, The implication behind the words is that this is not a "simple" manifestation.

As a result, public opinion began to develop in two completely opposite directions from the beginning. Zhang Jing studied the reporting caliber of major platforms for a while, and subconsciously felt that there seemed to be certain forces behind the two public opinions.

Behind the propaganda of "Celestial Master's Appearance", he could probably imagine that it should be the power of Xuanmen. After all, Xuanmen has completely attributed this incident to Song Tianshi's "appearance".

The voice that denies and claims that the "manifestation" is a self-directed and self-acted event has a somewhat subtle power behind it. Being able to amplify this voice quickly at least means that the power behind it is definitely not small...

However, from Zhang Jing's point of view, all he needs is a steady stream of wishing points. In fact, it may not be a bad thing to have objections. After all, the worldview of those who eat melons has changed, and it has changed from the past. Is it possible to harvest wish points repeatedly?

Royal Garden Hotel is one of the famous top hotels in Songjiang City. It is located on the bank of Cangjiang River, in the core area of ​​Financial Street. Because it owns shares of the Imperial Royal Family, it was allowed to use the word "Yu" in the name of the hotel.At the same time, it also brings a natural veil of nobility to it, making it the first choice for many celebrities and wealthy businessmen when traveling to Songjiang.

Just after 22 o'clock in the evening, a gray and white taxi stopped outside the hotel door. The back door opened, and a woman with a curvy figure and fashionable sunglasses got out of the car and walked quickly to the hotel with a bag in her hand. Go to the hotel door.

This woman has an oval face and slightly thick lips exposed under her sunglasses. Even if her eyes are not visible, she can still tell that she has a beautiful face.

A doorman standing in front of the door bowed slightly and opened the door for her. The woman nodded slightly to the doorman, then looked around, and then walked towards the elevator...

........................

I don’t know what Sister Miao is selling, so late, she suddenly called me over mysteriously, saying that there is a good opportunity... Wei Hanxin stood in the elevator, her mind full of questions.

However, whether it was to improve his acting career that had been at a slump for a long time, or to save his pocket that was emptied by paying off his father's debts, he urgently needed a chance.However, in this realistic and almost cold entertainment industry, it is really difficult to get opportunities without paying the price...

We can only hope that Sister Miao really finds some good opportunities this time. After all, she is an agent who has worked with her for many years, so she will not cheat herself.
