Delong

Chapter 129 Going to the Forest (8)

Just when Zhang Xing encountered a difficult Nanya incident, the eldest daughter of Mr. Bai Hengqiu, who was cursed forever, returned to the place he was most familiar with—behind Daxing in Xijing, located in the southwest of Wugong County in Guanzhong. Taibai Mountain Taibai Peak.

The mountain road of Taibai Peak is bumpy, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, but Bai Sanniang walked on the ground all the way, and she did not show the slightest cold and heat invasion.However, this also shows that she did not control her true energy to soar into the sky after all, but chose to climb the mountain on foot.

This is the birthplace of the Trinity Orthodox Church, the so-called ancestral home of the world's largest religion, and it is the place where Bai Yousi studied art from a teacher since he was 12 years old.

Easily climbed to the top of the mountain, the head of the Trinity Orthodox Church and Bai Yousi's mentor, the great master Chonghe Daoist, who appears to be ranked third in the world today, may actually be the number one. In the side room of the not-so-small Daoist Hall, the "Taixuan Jing" written by Master Qingdi was being taught. In the room, there were twenty or thirty brats in coarse cotton-padded jackets, all of whom were twelve or thirteen years old. sleepy.

Bai Yousi didn't say a word, holding the long sword, sitting on the steps in front of the door with his back, and while listening to the lecture behind him, he looked at the open space in front of him, there were about the same number of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls , was trying luck, exercising, pulse-pulsing and zhenqi pushing and pulling in the cold air, and looked at her curiously from time to time.

Bai Yousi knew that there should be a group of older boys and girls working hard in places out of sight, fetching water, collecting firewood, or carrying supplies...Of course there is no shortage of money here, but everyone Everyone is equal in front of the master, and no one dares to quit these chores that are equivalent to homework.

In fact, these are the fundamental reasons why Miss Bai has lived for seven or eight years since she was 12 years old, and it is also the fundamental reason why she is completely different from those brothers and sisters of the Bai family.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion behind him, Bai Yousi came back to his senses, and waited for the youngsters to disperse, before turning around and carrying the long sword into the wing room with the stove burning.

I don't know why, after entering, Miss Bai, who was usually a bit cold, at least after entering the alchemy realm, became a little repulsive, suddenly relaxed.

After all, this is where she lived since she was a child, and the person in front of her is a master who may be closer than his own father.

"The sun is strong, and the gentleman declines..." Chonghe Daochang is round and fat, wearing a triangular yellow three-hui pendant cloth cap, a light yellow cloth, leggings, and cloth shoes, as if he didn't see him. It was as if his lover came in, but instead he held tea in one hand and casually threw a hexagram on the table with the other. "This person is self-improving and self-strengthening."

Bai Yousi tilted his head for a look, took a few chips away, and then sat down cross-legged in front of the other party, and said, "Master, the imperial court wants to repair the Sanhui Dajin Pillar and re-establish the center of heaven and earth. Are you the one?" The head of the Trinity Orthodox Church and the grand master, don't you want to say something?"

"Why do you think you can talk as a teacher?" Chong and Taoist Priest drank a sip of tea, clasped their hands and asked back. "I haven't gone down to Taibai Peak for almost 20 years, even when the sage was enthroned, so I'm going down after repairing a pillar?"

"It's the big golden pillar!" Bai Yousi, holding the counting chip, emphasized. "Sanhui Holy Statue."

Chong and Taoist priest nodded, Fu shook his head again, and then looked at the sky outside, Bai Yousi followed the trend and saw the sun hanging high above.

Turning her face around, Miss Bai sighed, and said seriously: "Master, if you have something to say, can you stop playing charades?"

"It's like this." Chong and Daochang clasped their hands together and answered seriously. "Sisi, you are very poor in this kind of homework, so let's take it slowly... Let me ask you something first, our Trinity Orthodox Church respects seven supreme beings, the so-called three brilliance and four emperors... the story of the four emperors, Inheritance, as well as its influence on the present world, are clearly visible. Even Trinity Orthodoxy cannot be established in the south because of the influence of the Red Emperor Empress... But what about Sanhui? Why didn’t Sanhui have any writings? No country survived Next? Didn't interfere with the world's military, political and folk customs?"

"Because Sanhui is..." Of course, Bai Yousi knew what was going on, so he instinctively wanted to answer, but for some reason, he didn't know how to say it when the words came to his lips.

"Because Sanhui is one day and two moons. It is a spiritual thing that has existed since the birth of the universe. It has spirit but no wisdom, position but no heart, virtue but no desire. Distracting thoughts, and seeing everything as one... Then under the three radiances, even saints are indistinguishable from grass, wood, porpoise..." Daoist Chong said with a straight face. "Tell me, in such a situation, if the sage built a big golden pillar, what's the matter with Sanhui?"

Bai Yousi was silent for a while, then shook his head again: "But how did I hear that after the failure of the ancestor emperor's Eastern Expedition, Tang Taizu established the Trinity Orthodox Church with the purpose of combining the three brilliance with the four imperial powers, if Sanhui is so greedy, How can the four royals be combined? Moreover, the Trinity Orthodox Church has been established for 800 years, although it is incomparable to the four royals, but there are also three radiances showing up in the world, how can master say so freely?"

"These are two questions." Chong and Taoist priest leaned sideways on the table lazily, holding their chins and continuing to answer their beloved disciple seriously. "The previous question is a very simple question of technique, and it is open and aboveboard. There is nothing to say to others... To put it bluntly, above the supreme, there is still the sky. What is the sky? Or whether it is the sky or the earth, I don't know... But there is no doubt that there is, otherwise, where does the vitality of the heavens and the earth come from? Otherwise, where does the real dragon come from? Otherwise, where does the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon come from? Who did you mean? Otherwise, who set up the four royal positions?"

Bai Yousi nodded repeatedly.

"The will of heaven is lofty and unfathomable, but under the sky there are three radiances and four imperial powers. This is true." Daoist Chong and Daoist took a sip of hot tea before laughing. "Thus, the Trinity Orthodox Church, originally intended because the four imperial powers interfered too much in the human world, so it was necessary to take people's hearts and call for God's will, and use God's will to overwhelm the Supreme Being. Come to unite the four royals...three ones, three ones, three are three hui, but that one does not mean the three hui are united, but the unique one... In this case, it doesn't matter whether the three hui have desires or not, Because they can respond to the sky at the top and the mortals at the bottom, they can naturally unite the four kingdoms."

Bai Yousi smiled but not a smile: "So Master Sanhui also has desires after all?"

"If it were someone else, I might not say yes, but who made you the seed of the next generation of our Trinity Orthodox Church?" Chong He's expression seemed a little sad, and his smile was like a wry smile. "When I die in the future, I still count on you Bai Yousi to prop up the foundation of the Trinity Orthodox Church. I can't hide it from you. Let me tell you clearly that since the establishment of the Orthodox Church, the Sanhui Department has gradually become a saint. Clues, and more and more frequent, but whether this three hui is the three hui we think of, whether it is instinct or spontaneous, and whether it can represent that one... No one really knows. And this is also the confusion within the Orthodox Church, part of People simply unite with the imperial court, and some people like me stay in the ancestral court."

Bai Yousi nodded, and asked again: "So, it's obvious why Master doesn't want to pay attention to Da Jin Zhu... Master is from the Sanhui Wuyu school. If that's the case, what about Da Jin Zhu? From the perspective of Master It doesn’t matter at all to the real Sanhui?”

Chonghe hesitated for a moment, and answered seriously: "I still don't want to hide it from you... Actually, I don't want to go down and interfere in this matter, mainly because the imperial court has its own morality workshop, and the scale of morality workshop is huge, and there are many religious figures in it." Catering to the imperial court... In your Jing'an Terrace, haven't there always been Taoist practitioners from Daodefang? Besides, although I don't go down the mountain, I can hear a thing or two about the temper of this saint from the parents of many people on this mountain. , I really don't want to cause trouble."

"So, Master is more unwilling to interfere because of people's sake?" Bai Yousi came to his senses. "Then I've come here in vain."

"How?" Chong and Daoist asked curiously.

"Because His Majesty is wasting people and money, and is becoming more and more unscrupulous." The female regular inspector hesitated for a moment, and confessed frankly. "I want Master to come out of the mountain and use the three brilliance and four royals to overwhelm His Majesty...Of course, there is also the fact that this project actually started with my father. Sisi feels a little bit ashamed."

"Let's be unscrupulous!" Daoist Chong and Daoist were startled, shaking their heads and sighing. "Which saint is not unscrupulous? Is it good to be the first emperor? Is it good to have a great name in Dongqi Shenwu Emperor? What about those lunatic descendants of Shenwu Emperor? The rise and fall are self-determined. Why think that the Great Wei is What about the eternal dynasty?"

Bai Yousi was thoughtful, and then asked again: "Master, don't you think that Great Wei can survive for a long time?"

"I'm timid, so I didn't say anything." Chong and Taoist priest immediately turned their faces away.

Seeing this, Bai Yousi didn't say much, and simply got up: "I didn't ask for leave this time, so I won't stay here any longer if I come here directly with my true energy, but it seems that I don't need to be filial in front of Master..."

"You can control your true energy in one breath, isn't it already a pill?" Chong and Taoist priest nodded and asked casually, it seemed that they finally had the attitude of a master.

"Yes." Bai Yousi also responded casually.

"What are you visualizing?" The old Taoist continued to ask.

Bai Yousi was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a while, then sat down again suddenly, and then seriously asked: "Master, I met someone... It's really strange."

"What a strange way?" The fat old man obviously didn't care. "In fact, true qi itself is very strange, no matter how strange it is, it is not strange."

"It's similar to the private legends of people like Tang Taizu after the death of Emperor Zudi." Bai Yousi said carefully. "That's what I saw from you, that you can use a variety of true qi,"

Chong He was taken aback and remained silent for a long time.

"How to say?" Bai Yousi also became vigilant.

"What kind of cultivation is that person?" Chong He hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands together slightly.

"Cultivation of Zhengmai..."

"It's too outrageous." Chong He stood up suddenly, shaking his head with his hands behind his back in the wing room. "It's outrageous, but it seems to be right..."

"What exactly?" Bai Yousi seemed a little impatient. "Master, we agreed not to play charades."

"Then don't play charades... I don't know what the situation of this person is, but the situation of Tang Taizu that day is obviously the appearance of a dragon fighter." Chong He stopped and said the answer a little irritatedly. "And it's the Dragon Fighter named by the Supreme...Because only the Supreme can open the lock where the true energy is normalized...The ancestor died back then, but the unification of the human race is a foregone conclusion, so the four Supremes each choose It is not a coincidence that Tang Taizu and Yan Gong competed for the hegemony in the Central Plains."

Bai Yousi was stunned for a moment, and there was so much words in his heart that he wanted to express, but he forcibly endured it, and then asked: "Is the Great Wei really going to die?"

"It has nothing to do with whether the Great Wei dies or not." Chong He sighed. "The death of the Great Wei still depends on whether the sages of today can work hard to govern. In fact, none of the supreme beings was the winner in the four imperial dragon battles that day. When it comes to this matter, it can only be said that the supreme opened the lock, which may not be the case. It's fighting for the dragon... So, we can only say that there is at least one supreme being, and we may feel that Wei is about to perish..."

Bai Yousi hesitated for a moment.

"I just still don't understand." Chong He became more and more irritable. "According to the records passed down in the sect and the evidence of Hu Yunjun's real dragons and gods, the four supreme beings were greatly injured in the dragon fight that day, which is why the interactions between immortals and mortals became less and less in the following 800 years... Who is it again, where did you get the courage, and why...it's really... God's will is unpredictable!"

At the end, Chong He could only look up to the sky and sigh.

Bai Yousi hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Just now Master asked him what he meant by cultivation?"

"Is this person your friend or your opponent?" Chong He didn't answer directly, but turned around and asked a strange question.

"Friend." Bai Yousi said without thinking.

"Let him be careful... Once the court finds out about it, and then it gets to your Zhongcheng's ears, even if it's just because of that taboo, he will definitely die without a place to bury him...Of course, since it is the supreme method, there are always some tricks and ways Count it." Chonghe agreed. "Also, you have to be prepared to turn against him."

"What do you mean?" Bai Yousi shuddered suddenly.

"It doesn't mean anything." Chong and Nian Xu frowned. "It's not as serious and complicated as you think... First of all, it's too late to say anything; second, if it's really a dragon-fighting situation, he might open it first because of his low cultivation. Locks, and those of you with high cultivation bases, you have to wait until the situation emerges before opening the locks..."

"What do you people with high cultivation?" Bai Yousi asked awe-inspiringly. "I am also a Dragon Fighter appointed by the Supreme Being?"

"You are not, but you may be." Chong He answered seriously. "At least your father is afraid that you are, otherwise he wouldn't have sent you to the Trinity Orthodox Church because of the theory of Huang Ming... He was worried that you were chosen by the Red Emperor, and he felt guilty."

"My life's way back, I'm free to decide." Bai Yousi dismissed it. "What Huang Ming? Even if the Scarlet Emperor Empress herself said it, I would definitely pour tea on her face!"

"Yes yes yes." Chong He grinned. "I also think this kind of thing, don't take it too seriously, just say it... Anyway, it's up to people. I think that Tang Taizu and others were born after the emperor's death, and they wanted to fight for the dragon. They were different from the four supreme ones It was achieved by conspiring together, and the four of them are not easy-going lamps, and in the end they all have schemes with the supreme being behind them... Thousands of words, the root of the supreme lies in the mundane, no matter what, we must let the mundane three ways."

"Can you stop thinking too much?" Bai Yousi sneered. "Also, master, why didn't you take it seriously? If you didn't take it seriously, you would suddenly lose your composure after guarding Taibai Peak for 20 years, and your true energy would just overflow."

"I'm worried about Sanhui, the foundation of our Trinity Orthodox Church." Chong He smiled bitterly. "As I said just now, since the establishment of the Trinity Orthodox Church, the change of the Three Faiths has gradually become apparent. It is related to the Supreme Being. It has been speculated in the church for 200 years, and I am afraid that there will be a sudden return of the Three Faiths... Or, in other words, If it really got to that point, it would be a great catastrophe, but just think about how chaotic the four supreme beings returned to their thrones... that's when the shock came."

Bai You thought about it for a while, then sighed: "So, it's not just that the Great Wei is on the verge of collapse, and the inner tension has reached the limit, but even the supreme ones can't sustain it?"

"I'm already a great master. To be honest, the people who talk about becoming a dragon and becoming an immortal in this world, that is, me and the old woman in Lingnan and the governor of Dongyi have something to say. The matter of immortals and real dragons is already a thing for us." It's not false...but when Supreme Being is involved, I feel a little nervous." Chong He said solemnly. "One is the abnormal movement of Sanhui, but it is mysterious and mysterious, and it is impossible to explain it clearly beforehand; the other is that the four emperors are not ordinary masters... When they are in the world, they are all fighting with the sky and the earth. The master of fighting and dragon fighting, how can there be no reason why he should not break up when he is the supreme? So, Sisi, when you walk down the mountain, you must be cautious even if you have a sword in your hand."

Bai Yousi nodded sincerely.

"Speaking of which, is your friend a man or a woman?" Chong He suddenly asked again.

The female inspector, who was still very moved, was speechless, and her tone rose: "What does Master mean by asking this?"

"I'm also worrying about it blindly...Actually, if you're worried that everyone will be their master and fight for no reason in the future, why not take up Miss Bai's airs and recruit a son-in-law while he is low-level?" Chonghe said earnestly. speak. "Sparse and inseparable... Husband and wife are one body, even the Supreme Being can't provoke it."

Bai Yousi didn't say a word, just looked at the other party coldly while holding his calculations.

"Just say it casually." Chong He waved his hand accordingly, sat down again, and then took out a small stick-like object from his arms. "this is for you."

Bai Yousi glanced at it and saw that it was a simple wooden "Three-Golden Pillar", so he threw down his calculation chip to touch it: "Is there any miraculous effect? ​​Could it be that it was given to you by the Three-Golden Pillar."

"No miraculous effect." Chong He replied with a smile. "It's just something I use for my daily homework... If you have the heart, you might as well give it to your friend, let him use it to pray, and see what kind of crooked way it is, or whether it is really a supreme being who manifests on him... You must know , there are not only three brilliance and four royal orthodoxy in this world, maybe there are some evil gods and ghosts wandering from the outer domain, your friend is actually an evil monster."

Bai Yousi directly threw Jin Zhu down.

"It seems that we have a deep friendship." Chong He shook his head and smiled wryly. "It's the old man who has become an outsider."

Bai Yousi rolled his eyes, and stood up straight away: "Master also said just now that it depends on human effort, and what he does is quite to my liking. If he is crooked, then it's okay for the world to change to crooked ways."

"Is that so?" Chong He was slightly taken aback, but didn't say any more.

"The original intention was to ask Master about Da Jinzhu. If Master is not willing to move, the result has already been achieved and unexpected gains have been made. It is not in vain. The disciple left first." .

Chong He nodded, and did not stay with the guests: "The mountain is poor, and you eat a lot, so I won't keep you."

Bai Yousi didn't get involved, went out with his sword in his arms, crossed the busy courtyard, hesitated for a moment, but summoned his radiance and true energy, and with a flash of golden light, he swooped down the mountain directly amidst the stunned eyes of a group of juniors and juniors, and then attracted These younger brothers and younger sisters flocked out to see the gods.

Only Chong and Daoist still sat there in a daze, and waited until his beloved disciple disappeared down the mountain before he lowered his head to look at the hexagram formed by the counting chip on the case and the golden pillar and wooden stick, and then said something:

"Success with hard work is as good as the sky; if it is as good as the sky, it will be assisted by heaven...he will be assisted by heaven..."

As he said that, the old Taoist couldn't help stretching out his hands to pick up the "wooden stick and gold pillar", and then closed his eyes to think, but just after he closed his eyes, each had a stream of real light, one blazing, the other gentle , a piece of red, from the top of the gold pillar represents the day and February on the bifurcation of each slowly flowing, but scrambling to reach Chonghe's hands.

As soon as it reached the palm of the hand, the three radiances merged into one, becoming the most common color of radiance and infuriating energy.

For some unknown reason, Chong He threw the "Golden Pillar" back on the case like an electric shock, and Fu quickly picked it up again, carefully putting it aside.

Then, he raised his head and closed his eyes and sighed: "God's will is unpredictable...God's will is unpredictable...but it's man-made!"

Of course, Bai Yousi didn't know what was going on behind her. She swooped down Taibai Peak and didn't stay for a moment. She just rested in her own garden outside Daxing City in Xijing that night, and then spent two more days, so that she could stay on a warm day at the end of March. In the evening, we arrived at the Eastern Capital.

The journey of [-] miles took less than three days. If you count the two or three days spent before leaving, the [-] miles before and after was only five or six days.

The speed doesn't matter, it may not be much stronger than the fast horse relay, but the true energy is so thick, if it is spread, it may make the hearts of the experts jump.

"Zhang Xing, you're not finished, are you?"

Back in Dongdu, Bai Yousi, who had something on his mind, couldn't wait to go directly to Zhang Xing's house, but found out speechlessly that Zhang Xing was taking the gold he had kept from his own fish pond. "A little gold, over and over again, is it necessary to open a flower bed this time?"

Zhang Xing, who was groping for gold in the fish pond, heard the voice of an old woman, turned his head, and then shook his head: "Chang Jian doesn't know where he is happy these days, how can he know the hard work of the poor in our eastern capital? I'm not going to change places, but I'm going to take it out and use it."

"Do you want to buy a house?" Bai Yousi was thoughtful. "Your yard is really small."

"I signed a three-year lease and paid it in one go. How can I be willing to move?" Zhang Xing said disapprovingly while lowering his head and tossing in the mud. "This is forced and there is no other way... The imperial court has an order to build a big golden pillar. It needs to be united in the whole country, and all ministries in the central government, local states and counties, and hundreds of officials and barbarians are required to donate gold and silver together to build a big golden pillar. Jin Zhu... the regular inspection is not here, no one is reimbursed, and I am a thin-skinned person, without these, how can I complete the quota for Fulongwei's family of one or two hundred people?"

Bai Yousi was stunned for a long time, before he realized it, his voice trembled: "Do you want to use real gold to repair the gold pillar? How big is it?"

"That's not enough, but try to make up as much gold and silver as possible. At least the upper part of the Sanhui bifurcation day and February golden statues should be made of gold, and the bottom part should be carved with silver... and since the Sanhui has it, the Siyu Not less, it is said that a golden fan knife or something will be made for the Hei Emperor. Trees, let go of the wine and vegetables to eat and drink, and celebrate together." Zhang Xing opened his mouth and came, grinning.

"I understand." Bai Yousi came back to his senses. "Is there an official who wants to use this to flatter His Majesty? Is it Zhang Shangshu?"

"It's Mr. Zhang." Zhang Xing corrected it seriously. "Because of this matter, the Cheng has scolded your father twice in the past few days, saying that it was his good start. Your father knew he was wrong, so he didn't dare to answer a word. He is so honest in Nanya."

"It's a waste of money." Bai Yousi became more and more uneasy, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to how his father was being scolded.

"That's right, it's a waste of money." Zhang Xing threw the gold in his hand into the basket held by Yueniang, and replied earnestly with his hands covered in mud spread out in the fish pond. "Overlapping taxes and harsh punishments make the people at the bottom enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world in name, but in fact they are only struggling on the line of life and death. Therefore, when the corvee comes, the family will be ruined; and this matter, I have thought about it for a long time, I am afraid it is not true. It will implicate the people at the bottom, because where does the poor get their money squeezed? I am afraid it will be a situation that will destroy the middle-class families... Does the Changjian know? My gold, before it is put in, can be exchanged for more than 1 taels of silver , 3 guanwen, it is not a small income for your family, but now in the black market of Dongdu, it is already worth more than [-] guanwen, and it is still rising!"

Bai Yousi was silent for a long time, and answered slowly: "I will go to find the eldest princess and the queen tomorrow...Your Majesty doesn't listen to the Nan Yamen and the emperor's uncle, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't listen to the eldest princess and the queen."

Zhang Xing shook his head and asked on the spot: "Want to bet? I bet that these two won't be able to persuade His Majesty at all. I also bet that the price of gold and silver will continue to rise. It will go crazy, until half of the merchants in the Eastern Capital go bankrupt."

Bai Yousi didn't dare to answer, he paused for a while, and then tried his best to answer: "It's up to people, let me try it, okay?"

Zhang Xing looked at it in amazement: "Chang Jian tried it himself, and I didn't force Chang Jian to do anything."

Bai Yousi nodded, and flew away as if fleeing from Yueniang's curious eyes.

PS: Good night.
