Time travel from the red building

Chapter 47 47. National Teacher
Daoist Danyang is regarded as highly respected and respected in the secular world, but he is quite controversial in the world of practice, and his position is a bit embarrassing.

To say that he is a person, whether it is character or ability, everyone recognizes him, but it is hard to describe his behavior.

Daoist Danyang comes from a little-known sect. This sect cultivates merit and luck, so as soon as he came out of the mountain, he did good deeds everywhere, accumulated virtue, healed diseases and saved people. At that time, he never kept secrets when talking about his experience, so fellow Taoists who were at the same time as him had a good impression of him.

Not only for his comrades, but also for ordinary people, he will not boss around in the slightest. Regardless of whether they are strong or weak, rich or poor, they will all be treated equally. Anyone who needs help, as long as they meet, Daoist Danyang will lend a helping hand. At that time, it was the world It was preliminarily determined that the war had not completely subsided, and ordinary people who lived in hardships were everywhere, so he helped people everywhere, and received countless gratitude, so no matter those who knew him or those who had only heard of his name , everyone admired him.

But later, for some unknown reason, Daoist Danyang took the initiative to participate in the battle for the throne at that time and helped the previous emperor ascend the throne. The late emperor built him a Shangqing temple in the capital and made him a national teacher. After the late emperor passed away, When the current emperor ascended the throne, there were two powerful princes who rebelled at that time. It was he who helped the emperor stabilize the situation and secure the throne, and achieved his detached position in front of the emperor.

After Daoist Danyang became a national teacher, he didn't just serve the royal family. In fact, most of the time he didn't pay much attention to the royal family. Instead, he was very close to Qin Tianjian. Whether it is a flood or a snow disaster, a severe drought or an earthquake, if it does not happen, he will advise the emperor to take precautions in advance, and if it has happened, then he must quickly arrange for people to go to rescue the disaster. Few of the families were destroyed due to natural disasters.

There are also Huimin Institutes and Yuyingtangs all over the country, as well as Danyang Zhenren's handwriting. He values ​​​​this aspect and always mentions it in front of the emperor. The emperor will naturally pay some attention, and the emperor noticed it. Therefore, most of these lowest-level vulnerable groups in various places can get some care, at least to ensure that their lives are safe.

Everyone admires Daoist Danyang's ability to do good deeds for decades. Even if he joined the royal family and became a national teacher, no one thought there was anything wrong with him, but he got closer and closer to the royal family. What's more, he tied his own luck with the luck of the dynasty, which is very baffling.

Everyone is a person of practice, and they should cultivate their bodies and minds, and strengthen themselves through their own efforts. Even if Daoist Danyang cultivates the way of merit, he should do more good deeds, just like he did before. Maybe the speed is not that fast, but it is safe to win, but relying on the way of connecting oneself with the royal luck is undoubtedly opportunistic.

Therefore, some Taoist priests who followed the "governance by doing nothing" believed that he violated the teachings of Taoism, that his behavior was contrary to the quiet and inaction, and that he paid too much attention to fame, wealth and power; I can't help it", thinking that fate should be in your own hands, and you should use your own hands to fight for what you need, instead of relying on external forces and expecting others to take you away.

Therefore, everyone didn't understand what Daoist Danyang did, and some people who were close to him tried to persuade him. Although he had a good attitude, he refused to listen. up.

Then, as time passed, his peers were almost dead, and the remaining rising stars, let alone no one was qualified to instruct him on what to do.It's just that under the circumstances that everyone is generally pursuing "transcendent and untainted by the mundane world", Daoist Danyang is becoming more and more like a different kind, but he is a senior expert, and he has criticisms in his heart, and it is difficult to express them, so he has to avoid talking about them.

Before deciding to come to the capital, Yun Qing also considered whether to visit Danyang Immortal, but in the end she decided not to go, but now that they met, there was no need to deliberately avoid it, so after the two met each other, Danyang Immortal invited Yun Qing to go She didn't refuse after Shangqing Guanzuzu.

The two of them seem to be slow and quick, and they started to move their spells all the way. After a while, they arrived at the entrance of Shangqing Temple. The little Taoist boy at the door was sitting in a daze. , Daoist Danyang was not surprised, he patted his head with a smile, and led Yun Qing in.

The scale of Shangqing Temple is much smaller than Yunqing imagined, only one-third of the size of Baiyun Temple. Since we are here, we must first offer incense sticks to the gods, and then go to the place where we welcome guests. Daoist Danyang personally After making tea, Yun Qing hurriedly took the teapot, first poured him a cup, then poured it for himself, and respected him as a junior, Daoist Danyang smiled and took the teacup and drank it.

"I don't know which faction my little friend is from? This time I came to the capital to visit my friend, or do I have anything to do? If there is anything I need help with, just let me know, the old man is still a bit thin-skinned, and he will definitely not let you Little friend is disappointed." Daoist Danyang said with a smile.

Yun Qing was puzzled, but didn't reveal anything on his face, and said with a smile: "The younger generation came from Yinxian Valley, and only went out of the valley to experience the year before last. He traveled all the way from Hangzhou Mansion to the capital. It's nothing special to come here to see the prosperity of the capital. It must be done, thank you for your kindness, senior, if there is any difficulty in the future, I will definitely come to ask you for help."

According to the records, Master Danyang is indeed a helpful and kind senior, but he is not so enthusiastic about it. He took the initiative to ask a junior who met for the first time, and was eager to help others. Master Danyang has no airs, and he is also genuine. The old man is too easy-going now, and Yun Qing has to wonder what purpose does he have?
Daoist Danyang seemed unaware, and still had a smile on his face: "Yinxian Valley, a friend of Lao Dao also lives in seclusion there, and we haven't seen each other for 20 years... tell me quickly, little friend, Han So how is that old guy now? Has he become a bad old man?"

With a bit of sadness on Yun Qing's face, he recalled: "Senior Hankong became a feather five years ago..."

Daoist Danyang's smile condensed on his face, he paused, picked up his teacup and drank a few sips as a cover, then he wiped his face, and said melancholy: "He is obviously stronger than me, and he is also a few years younger than me, why? I left so early... I made an appointment to go to the mountain to watch the sun next time, and the old guy broke his promise..."
