Ziying hurriedly said: "Please tell me, benefactor!"

Chu Huan glanced at Wei Wuji, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wuji, in fact, you came in at the wrong time just now. Miss Ziying was playing Huaiyang Pingchu just now, and you interrupted me. If you don't mind, Can Miss Ziying finish this song? If Mr. Wuji doesn't dislike it, why don't you sit down and have a drink together?"

Wei Wuji was very embarrassed, Ziying had already said: "Ziying will play another song."

"The last song!" Chu Huan smiled, and said to the proprietress next to her, "Madam proprietress, are the food and drinks ready? We are really hungry."

The proprietress hurriedly apologized, and immediately went down to make arrangements, and several big men followed.

Only then did Chu Huan lead Wei Wuji to the table, Wang Fu and others returned to their seats and sat down, Ziying wanted to sit in that chair, Chu Huan stopped him with his hand, and said with a smile: "Girl, you don't have to do that again in the future." I got a chair." Someone picked up another chair, and Ziying was grateful, and sat down to play.

During the playing, the food and wine came out quickly, and the table was filled with good wine and food, and everyone was in awe of appetite. After the song was over, Chu Huan said with a smile: "Young lady is really good at crafting, Mr. Wuji Blessed be the latter."

Wei Wuji smiled awkwardly, but gave Ziying an affectionate look.

Ziying asked with a smile: "What else do benefactors want to hear?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "I said before, it was Miss Ziying's last song just now. From now on, the girl only needs to play the song for Mr. Wuji. Since the girl is free, she still has things to pack, why not Go and pack your things first, then you can leave here with Mr. Wuji when you turn around."

Zi Yingying saluted, looked at Wei Wuji with a smile, and retreated.

At this time, Wang Fu and the others had already started to eat and drink, and the cups were intertwined. Where would everyone have the opportunity to taste such fine wine and food on weekdays? , that saved Wei Wuji's life, Wei Wuji is here to thank everyone!"

Naturally, Wang Fu and the others didn't have a good impression of Wei Wuji, and they were even envious of the big deal that this kid got today, but seeing Chu Huan's face, they all held a glass of wine to drink.

After Wei Wuji sat down, he respectfully said to Chu Huan: "Grandfather, Wei Wuji is presumptuous, I don't know your honorable name?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I can't talk about your surname, my name is Chu Huan."

"Chu Huan?" Wei Wuji asked curiously, "It's the same name as that talented scholar in Xishan who wrote 45 poems in succession."

Chu Huan chuckled and didn't say much. Naturally, Wei Wuji would not have thought that the Chu Huan in front of him was the one who had composed 45 poems in a row, and said, "Wei Wuji is from Jianghuai. My father was originally a county magistrate, but he was too kind Upright, offended people, was dismissed from office, and died of depression a year ago...!"

Seeing Wei Wuji's temperament, Chu Huan actually knew that he did not know his background from a poor family, and said, "My condolences, Mr. Wuji." Then he asked, "But I don't know why Mr. Wuji came to the capital?"

Wei Wuji smiled wryly: "Grandmother...!" Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan interrupted: "Mr. Wuji, don't mention the word benefactor again. If you are willing, how do we match up as brothers? "

"How does this happen?" Wei Wuji asked in surprise.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Seeing that Mr. Wuji is also an elegant person, shouldn't he be so obsessed with vulgarity?"

Wei Wuji then said: "That Wuji was rude. Brother Chu, to tell you the truth, the Jianghuai Road today...!" After thinking for a while, he finally uttered four words, and said, "It's a mess!"

"how do I say this?"

"You are in the capital, so you don't know something." Wei Wuji smiled wryly, "I wonder if you have ever heard of a folk song?"

Wang Fu asked, "What folk song?"

"The gate of heaven was first opened, the old lord came into the world, and all my Taoists will enjoy eternal life!" Wei Wuji whispered in a low voice.

Everyone looked at each other, Sun Long frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

"It seems that you don't know." Wei Wuji sighed: "This is a folk song that has spread very quickly in Jianghuai Road. Lord, if you become a real disciple of Laojun, you can live forever."

"Immortal?" A Wu Jingwei's eyes lit up: "Is it true?"

Wang Fu glared at him, the man knew that he had slipped his words, and lowered his head.

Wei Wuji sneered and said, "Have you ever heard that since ancient times, there are really immortal people?"

In fact, these words have become a big taboo. People in the capital actually know that their emperor seems to be practicing the technique of longevity. Outside the capital, there are now tens of thousands of people building the Tongtian Temple in the northwest. Few people have privately heard that the construction of Tongtian Temple is actually the dojo of His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty will practice Taoism in Tongtian Temple in the future.

The emperor is seeking longevity, but Wei Wuji claims that there has been no immortal person since ancient times. Isn't this an antithesis.

Sun Long said: "You haven't seen it, it doesn't mean you don't have it, maybe those people have become immortals and saints, and they are not in the mortal world."

Wei Wuji did not argue, and continued: "This folk song is not known to many people in the capital, but it is very popular in Jianghuai Road. Everyone in the village knows it. Now in Jianghuai Road, five or six out of ten will enshrine the Supreme Master at home. The portrait of the old gentleman has been spread everywhere, and the old gentleman has taken the form of a human being, and he is selecting Taoist disciples in the mortal world to save the world!"

Wang Fu frowned and said, "Taoism? Are you a priest?"

"Tianmen Dao!" Wei Wuji said: "Those people call the Taishang Laojun's Dao, which is Tianmen Dao. In many places in Jianghuai Dao, there are already Tianmen Dao disciples spreading lies to deceive people and people's hearts. I remember a few years ago. The Tianmen Dao was still silent the day before yesterday. Although some Taoist priests confuse the crowd there, they did not cause any big storms. However, in just a few years, the Tianmen Dao has formed a climate in Jianghuai Dao. Today's Jianghuai Dao believes in heaven. There are no less than 10 people in the doorway, and it is still increasing rapidly."

Wang Fu and other Wu Jingwei guarded a small area of ​​the Ximen Office. They really didn't know about the Tianmen Dao, but Chu Huan had heard of the existence of the Tianmen Dao, but he didn't know exactly what happened, so he asked: "Tianmen Dao is so rampant, don't the officials of Jianghuai Dao ignore it?"

Wei Wuji sighed: "Grandfather... Well, brother Chu doesn't know that the power of Tianmen Dao is not only among ordinary people. The demons of Tianmen Dao claim everywhere that as long as you believe in Tianmen Dao, you can not only live forever, but also Being free from suffering, free from disease and disaster, the life of ordinary people is hard, even if they don’t want to live forever, they hope to be free from suffering, but there are still people who are well-clothed and well-fed, thinking in their hearts that they can live forever and enjoy wealth forever. Readers read It is not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the Taoist law of Tianmen Dao. Farmers don’t think about farming, merchants don’t think about doing business. Daoist disciples, but often before the officers and soldiers arrive, the Taoist disciples have disappeared without a trace. Even if they did arrive in time, the bewitched people stopped the officers and soldiers and protected the Taoist disciples from escaping. Moreover, in the government, there are also many Those who eat less imperial food are also bewitched by Tianmen Dao, although Mingli has nothing to do with Tianmen Dao, but secretly supports Tianmen Dao, even in the Imperial Guard Army and Guards Army, there are also a large number of Tianmen Dao believers...!" Having said this, he shook his head Said: "The smog is in a mess, Tianmen Dao is doing evil in Jianghuai Road, the entire Jianghuai Road is already in turmoil...!"

Wang Fu frowned and said, "Could it be that the people of Jianghuai Taoist are all lunatics? Can they believe a few words from the Taoists of Tianmen?"

"If it's just a few words, then of course it won't win people's trust." Wei Wuji immediately said: "But the Taoists of Tianmen have sorcery. , Taoists of Tianmen often heal people, and they don’t take any money. So you need to enshrine the tablet of Laojun at home, and you must enter the Tianmen Dao and become a disciple of the Tianmen Dao, otherwise, even if you are watching you die, you will not be rescued."

"Turning stone into gold?" Chu Huan smiled lightly, and said, "I don't believe they really have that kind of ability!"

Wei Wuji said: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but it has been widely circulated, and it is nothing more than absurd. Tianmen Dao has bewitched countless people by virtue of these sorcery. Today, in the eight states of Jianghuai, almost every state has Tianmen Dao disciples." As far as I know, the Tianmen Dao disciples are based on Jianghuai Dao, and now they are spreading to other Dao...!" He said His expression became serious, obviously he hated Tianmen Dao very much.

"Wei Wuji, could it be that your coming to Beijing is related to the Heavenly Gate?" Wang Fu asked.

Wei Wuji said: "Jianghuai is in chaos, and the world is also seeing dangers everywhere. I originally wanted to enter the capital and offer strategies for governing the country to the imperial court. Facing the current crisis, who knows...!" Shaking his head: "My father had a grandson back then. An old acquaintance, now working in the household department, Wuji originally wanted to meet the Holy Majesty through him, but...!" Speaking of this, his expression was a little embarrassed.

Sun Long said: "Didn't I drive you out after listening to your nonsense?"

Wei Wuji was very embarrassed, Chu Huan smiled and said, "Could it be that he doesn't want to help?"

"This brother is right." Wei Wuji glanced at Sun Long: "I thought I was full of talent and learning, but in the eyes of others, I was nothing. You can still listen to these words, but that householder The adults in the ministry didn't even listen, as soon as they heard me talk about the turmoil in the Jianghuai River and the Tianmen Dao, they immediately had me kicked out of the mansion, and even ordered me not to go near the gate of the mansion...Short-sighted, the imperial court is like this It is really the tragedy of Great Qin that people are in power!"

This Wei Wuji obviously has a feeling that his talents are underappreciated, and his dissatisfaction with the court has already been revealed between the lines, but when this dry Wu Jingwei said these words, either Wei Wuji was really courageous, or his scheming was not deep enough. , some speak indiscriminately regardless of the occasion.
