Monument Yangmen

Chapter 591
In a word, I asked four Taoist masters.

The four were silent.

Fairy?

To them, it was a familiar word, but just words.

They often tell the world that there are immortals in the world. When they were young, they not only fooled others into believing it, but also believed it themselves.

They didn't know the truth of the matter until they gradually came to power and had a deep understanding of those myths that they regarded as classics.

Immortals only exist in legends.

Of course, there are also some stubborn people who always believe in the existence of immortals.

Because they have lied to others for so long that they even believed themselves.

However, those people with stubborn thoughts did not include the four people in front of them.

How can someone who can stand out from the tens of thousands of Taoists in the Taoist sect and take charge of one side of the Taoist system be a stubborn person.

Yang Qi looked at the four of them with a smile, and said softly: "Four, don't deceive yourself. As far as the way the four of you entered the mansion just now, in the eyes of the common people, it is an act of a god. But in the eyes of discerning people, only It’s just a blindfold.”

Old Daoist Chen Tuan stared at Yang Qi sharply, "Yang Yansi, we have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you want to destroy our Dao heart again and again?"

Yang Qi was not afraid of Chen Tuan's sharp eyes, he slid lazily on the chair, half lying down, and said with a smile: "It's not that I want to destroy your Taoism, I just don't want to watch you continue to make mistakes. .

Whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, or Buddhism, fundamentally speaking, it is just a kind of ideological inheritance and inheritance.

As a person who has inherited the wisdom of our ancestors, we should not only carry forward the wisdom of our ancestors, but also develop and innovate on the basis of the wisdom of our ancestors. "

Zhong Fang seemed to realize something, and asked softly, "Is this the purpose of preaching?"

Yang Qi nodded.

Put it aside and ask again, "What about the way of preaching?"

Yang Qi said bluntly: "As I just belonged to, choose the scriptures, teach the world to be good, and help the world to be good. This is the way of preaching."

The yellow-robed Taoist frowned and asked, "What good will it do you, Yang Yansi, if I wait to preach?"

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and smiled subtly: "If others ask me, I won't tell. But in front of the four of you, I don't need to hide my secrets. If you preach in the place I govern, you can help me Prevent the trend of Buddhism dominating one family.

After all, a religion, too large and exclusive, will affect the rule of a place.

This is not what I want..."

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, and said with emotion: "Besides, I am a descendant of Yanhuang after all. I don't want to see the things of my ancestors being suppressed by other people's things. I don't want to see it, because the fault of the wisdom of the ancestors makes the descendants of future generations They think we are inferior to aliens."

Old Daoist Chen Tuan and the Taoist priest in yellow frowned, but said nothing.

However, in their hearts.

They don't think that future generations will have such thoughts.

The Taoist priest in Qingpao was very frightened by Yang Qi, he asked with lingering fear: "You let us preach, really just to let the wisdom of the ancestors be carried forward, do you have any other intention?"

Zhong Fang looked at Yang Qi, obviously he was thinking the same as the Taoist priest in green robe.

Yang Qi laughed at himself and said, "What could I have planned? To seek your wealth? It is true that your Taoist sect has accumulated considerable wealth over the past thousand years, but with my ability to accumulate wealth, Yang Yansi surpassed your Taoist sect's accumulation easily.

Figure out the power of your Taoism?How many Taoist disciples can you add up?Comparable to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under my command? "

The green-robed Taoist was stunned and speechless.

Zhong Fang looked at the three of Chen Tuan and nodded secretly.

Old Taoist Chen Tuan looked at Yang Qi, and said solemnly: "Yang Yansi, I'm here to visit this time, and I have something to ask you..."

Yang Qi sat up straight and interrupted the old Taoist Chen Tuan's words, "I know that you have come to see me this time because you want to preach in the southern country. I promise you that even in the future where I, Yang Yansi, can be the master, you can preach .

But we have to make an agreement in three chapters..."

"Please state clearly..."

"First, you must preach under my rule, and you are not allowed to interfere in politics; second, you must preach under my rule, and you are not allowed to join other races; third, for any Taoist temple, there must be no more than 30 Taoist priests in each temple, and no more than [-] fields under the name of the Taoist temple. mu."

"This……"

Old Taoist Chen Tuan, Taoist priest in green robe, and Taoist priest in yellow robe all frowned.

The land under the name of the Taoist Temple is one of the main sources of income for the Taoist Temple.

Land annexation is also one of the main means for Taoist temples to raise money.

Now that the three chapters of Yang Qi's agreement directly cut off the Taoist temple's financial resources, what's the point of their preaching?
"I feel good."

Zhong Fang suddenly opened his mouth, and then in the strange eyes of Chen Tuan and the three of them, he said calmly: "When we cultivate the Tao, we seek the heart, not the money. The three of them are all leaders in the Taoist school. In the way of cultivating the mind, they are far better than My kind of letting go is longer. Could it be that you refuse to preach because you have no money?

If money and Tao are linked together, then what is the difference between us and those secular people who chase fame and wealth? "

The yellow-robed Taoist frowned tightly, and said coldly: "The law should not be passed on lightly..."

"Ah……"

Zhong Fang smiled sarcastically, and said contemptuously, "Master Zhang, when did you learn Buddhism?"

"you!"

The yellow-robed Taoist priest blushed and was too ashamed to speak.

"enough!"

With a dark face, Chen Tuan shouted in a very majestic manner.

After stopping Zhong Fang and the Taoist priest in yellow robes from bickering, old Taoist Chen Tuan looked at Yang Qi and said solemnly: "Yang Yansi, since you allow us to preach, why did you make these many rules?
What we cultivate is the Tao, and what we pay attention to is that the Tao follows nature.You restrain us so much, how can we devote ourselves to cultivating the Tao? "

Yang Qi looked at old Taoist Chen Tuan with a half-smile, "I just set three rules, and you feel restricted, which affects your dedication to practice. But as far as I know, the rules and regulations of the Taoist sect are far more than a hundred times the rules I set. Could it be Don't those rules affect everyone's dedication to practice?"

Old Taoist Chen Tuan wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Yang Qi raised his hand to stop Old Taoist Chen Tuan.

"Just to remind you, this time you are begging me, not I begging you. If you agree to my request, then you can go to the southern country to preach at any time. If you don't agree to my request, then where are you from? Just go back there."

An angry look flashed across Chen Tuan's face.

Since his reputation as a living god spread, no one has ever been so disrespectful to him.

Yang Qi was rude to him again and again, which made him very upset.

However, before Chen Tuan became old-fashioned, Zhong Fang stood up, shook his sleeves, and bowed to Yang Qi, "Huhou's condition, Zhong represents the Zhongnan Mountain lineage, and he agreed."

"Planting..."

The green-robed Taoist exclaimed, as if trying to persuade Zhong Fang to think more.

Zhong Fang cupped his hands at the three of them, and left the flower hall with his sleeves fluttering.

Old Taoist Chen Tuan's face was terribly dark.

The Taoist priest in green robe looked at the old Taoist Chen Tuan, then at the Taoist priest in yellow robe, and said with a dry smile, "Zong Fang is a rare smart man among the four of us. Since he has agreed to Huhou's conditions, then the poor Taoist will There is no reason to reject Huhou.

Pindao agreed to Huhou's condition on behalf of the Shushan lineage. "

Then he stood up and cupped his hands.

"Goodbye."

The Taoist priest in yellow robe pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Pimpedao also represents the Maoshan lineage, and agreed to Huhou's conditions."

"Bang~"

After a roar of gunpowder.

The yellow-robed Taoist priest disappeared in the flower hall.

Chen Tuan was the only one left.

Old Taoist Chen Tuan was obviously dissatisfied with Yang Qi's conditions.

"Humph~"

After a cold snort, old Taoist Chen Tuan shook his Taoist robe and left the Yang Mansion.

The flower hall became empty.

A sumptuous table of wine and food was left untouched from beginning to end.

Yang Qi lazily stood up, looked at Chen Tuan's disappearing figure, shook his head and smiled, "The faults are all from habit..."

"Fahai, come out and clear the place."

After leaving these words, Yang Qikong put down the table full of food and wine in the flower hall, and disappeared into the flower hall.

The veteran Fahai appeared in the flower hall quietly, with an extraordinarily complicated expression on his face.

In terms of seniority, Fahai Laodao can be regarded as the Huashan lineage.

Old Taoist Chen Tuan can be regarded as the uncle of the old Taoist Fa Hai.

The five people talked tonight, and the old Taoist Fa Hai listened to them all.

Chen Tuan's old-fashioned arrogance made him reject Yang Qi's conditions.

The veteran Fahai always felt in his heart that something seemed to have slipped away from under the nose of the Huashan family.

Unfortunately, he is not the person in charge of the Huashan lineage.

So he can't make the decision for the Huashan lineage.

"Hey~"

A long sigh drew an ordinary end to this extraordinary night.

……

days after.

The Yang Mansion was calm.

It is also rare for Yang Qi to have time to enjoy family happiness with his wife and children.

Ten-month-old Xiao Zongwei, under the guidance of Cao Lin, learned to shout the first word in life.

"Dad~"

Yang Qi was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all day.

Moreover, I specially chose a sunny day to go out for an outing with my wife and children.

The ancients had very few entertainment items.

Men still have fun in restaurants and brothels.

Women, on the other hand, can only stay in the boudoir most of the time.

Occasional outings are a rare pleasure for them.

Outside the east gate of Datong Fucheng, there is a rare hill. Under the hill, there is a small stream with willows and green grass beside the stream.

Yang Qi took his wife and children to the foot of the hill, where he lay his pillow on the green grass and the breeze, feeling very comfortable.

The family came out for a rare trip, and Cao Lin showed off the little girl in her heart.

He kept running on the grass with a paper kite in his hand.

Chuxing is pregnant, so she should not move too much, so she accompanied Yang Qi to blow the mountain breeze.

The two lay side by side on the grass.

Yang Qi looked at the clouds floating in the sky, and suddenly said, "Are you unhappy?"

Chu Xing, who was lying on the grass and was counting the clouds, trembled all over his body, dazed for a long time, and whispered: "No..."

"Ah……"

Yang Qi smiled, "You can deceive others, how could you deceive me. Although you and I have not been together for a long time, I understand your thoughts somewhat. You used to be a free and arrogant woman. Especially in front of me When you are young, you always like to show your proud side.

But since you entered the mansion, you have been depressed every day, and you always force yourself to smile in front of me.

I can't see you really happy..."

Chuxing looked sideways at Yang Qi's handsome face, biting his lips with a complex expression, his voice was as small as a mosquito, "Really... no..."

Yang Qi sighed helplessly, and looked sideways at Chu Xing.

Eye to eye.

When you wake up with a guilty conscience, don't look away.

Yang Qi raised his hand, lightly held Chuxing's tender hand, and said softly: "I know, in your heart, you have always regarded Aunt Xiang as the closest person. Maybe she used you, and you don't regret it. But she His death hit you hard.

And I was the chief culprit who pushed her to her death.

Even though you have entered the Yang Mansion, you have been honest with me.However, in your heart, there is always a pimple, and you don't know how to face me with your true self. "

"Concubine... Concubine is not..."

"Still lying to me, you and my husband, do you really want to see each other like this?"

Waking up, the body was trembling obviously, "I don't want to be like this... But, Aunt Xiang is the only family member of the concubine..."

Yang Qi held Chuxing's hand tightly, and said with emotion: "Aunt Xiang's death is inevitable. Even if she doesn't die in my hands, she will die in someone else's hands. Restoring the country, is it easier said than done?"

Yang Qi laughed and said: "Since the Qin Dynasty, there have been countless royal families who wanted to restore the country. But how many people succeeded in restoring the country? How could it be possible for Tang to return to the country?

When you were in charge of bad people, you also sent people to Jiangnan.Of those survivors who have been favored by the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, how many are willing to follow you? "

Chuxing tremblingly said: "Aunt Xiang has indeed sent people to the south of the Yangtze River, and those who are willing to follow the concubine will never survive..."

"So! Rebuilding the Southern Tang Dynasty is purely a self-deception by Aunt Xiang. I don't care what she does. Even if she begs me, I might help her and let her rebuild the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions or overseas.

It's her fault that she shouldn't tie you up to take risks together.

I, Yang Yansi's woman, cannot become someone else's bargaining chip, let alone become someone else's victim. "

"Your... woman..."

Waking up with a trembling body, he asked: "Mr.... Did you think about being a concubine early in the morning?"

Yang Qi grinned, and said frankly: "That time, when we met in Changlefang, I knew it. You are my woman."

"then you……"

"hey-hey……"

Yang Qi chuckled and said, "Men, lust is in nature... The way that he was not moved by beauty at the beginning was completely pretending..."

When she woke up, she turned around, with tears on her cheeks, clenched her fists, and beat Yang Qi's chest, "Then why do you still treat this concubine like that? Those who had no choice but to go far to the northwest... woo woo woo..."

Yang Qi embraced the first awakening, hugged her in her arms, and said with a smile: "Good things take time...hehehe..."

Chuxing lay in Yang Qi's arms and wept softly.

After crying, she was in a much better mood. She fell into Yang Qi's arms and said softly, "I'm in a much better mood... I don't blame you for Aunt Xiang's death. I'm just afraid in my body and mind, you let me enter the mansion , it's not that I really like the concubine. It's that I pity the concubine...

Now, after hearing you say that I have been thinking about my concubine for a long time, I am not so unhappy in my heart..."

Yang Qi smiled, hugged Chuxing, and said with a smile: "Remember in the future, find more things you like to do, go out more, and have fun. I am in charge of the three northwestern provinces, and I have to take care of the southern country. It is destined to be It is impossible to stay in the mansion all the time. It is impossible to accompany you all the time."

Chuxing nodded slightly...
