Too much fruit

Chapter 185
When Zhang Daoyi returned to Laojun Temple, he saw a Taoist priest in his fifties leading people to clear away rubble and tiles, and clean the courtyard. A young Taoist priest in a black Taoist robe was asking about things, as if he had just arrived.

The former is the master of the Laojun temple, and in terms of seniority, he is Zhang Daoyi's senior brother.Of course, not from the same master, but from the same senior brother.

The latter is Yuan Zhen, the apprentice of the contemporary suzerain.

Yuan Zhen is seven feet tall, handsome and plump, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, standing upright on one side, like a pine and cypress, in terms of temperament, he is even better than Zhang Daoyi.

But when Zhang Dao and his party approached, the natural and flawless nature of their every move in harmony with the world, but it silently canceled out Yuan Zhen's extraordinary temperament.

"Nephew Yuanzhen." Zhang Dao called out.

"Little uncle." Yuan Zhen replied lightly.

When the two met, they didn't feel very close, but there was a kind of business-like unfamiliarity.

This is also a matter of course.Originally recognized as the No. 1 contemporary disciple and future suzerain of the Taoist sect, a junior uncle suddenly appeared on his head, and he was superior to him in terms of seniority and skills.

What's more, this little uncle has been living in seclusion with that ancestor, and he, Yuan Zhen, rarely sees the ancestor.

With all these things, Yuan Zhen was already at peace of mind if he could not show any hostility.

"Nephew just came back?"

"Yes." Yuan Zhen replied briefly.

Zhang Dao took a look at the sky. It was almost Haishi now, and it was really late enough to come back at this time.

After all, Yuan Zhen was only going to inquire about the news of praying for rain, not to pray for rain.

Zhang Daoyi smiled and asked, "Does my nephew know what morality is?"

"Tao is the way. Virtue follows straightness, which means righteousness. Morality is the righteous way." Yuan Zhen replied without hesitation.

The morality of Daodezong is not the virtue of Confucianism, and has no moral meaning. Its righteousness is not the righteousness of right and wrong, but the righteousness of right and wrong.The meaning of morality is to go straight to the end without going astray.

"Yes, morality is the righteous way," Zhang Daoyi said with a nod of his head, "We walk the right way, put the way first, and focus on cultivation. If we use sneaky tricks, we will fall into the lower vehicle invisibly, and the farther we will be from the way. .Because your way cannot overwhelm the way of others, so you think of using sneaky tricks to assist you."

"Nephew Yuanzhen, I hope you and I will walk on the right path without deviation."

Yuan Zhen's expression became slightly cold, "Since you are doing the right way, why bother to beat around the bush, Master Uncle suspects that I am the one who assassinated, so just tell me."

He heard the meaning of Zhang Dao's words, and he didn't shy away from it, and directly expressed his own thoughts.

"Pray for rain tomorrow, I will walk with my uncle and stay together for a while, so as to prove my innocence, how about it?"

After Yuan Zhen said this sentence, he walked into the Taoist temple with a flick of his sleeves, causing everyone present to look at each other in blank dismay, not daring to intervene.

July 27, the year of Guimao, the month of Xinyou, and the day of Renshen, are suitable for offering sacrifices, relocation, and breaking ground, and avoid consecration.

There was a lot of people in the county. Yesterday's heavy rain had nourished the creatures around the county. Now that they were praying for rain again, the people inside and outside the city were even more surprised, making the scene lively.

From the inside of the county to the rest of the scene on the Fengquan River outside the city, that guy, that scene, was full of gongs and drums, firecrackers blaring, red flags waving, and crowds of people.

The large flow of people also attracted a lot of small vendors, and the crowds came and went to buy and sell, making this place as lively as a market.

And in the center of the flow of people, an altar was built next to the river, and there were high platforms on the left and right. The well-known figures in the city sat on their seats. The ones closest to the altar were Jiang Zhihuan, the prefect of Fufeng County, Ji Chengye, the son of King Lu, and Zhong Shenxiu. , Ming Yang et al.

Zhong Shenxiu was sitting on the grand teacher's chair with his eyes slightly closed, resting his mind in a feigned sleep, with his portable saber across his lap, he was quiet in the midst of the noise, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of voices, but he himself was at ease.

"Brother Zhong's state of mind is far inferior to mine."

Seeing Zhong Shenxiu's calmness, Ming Yang couldn't help but marvel in a low voice.

"wrong."

Zhong Shenxiu said suddenly, "I will rest at this time, it only shows that my state of mind is not stable enough, if it is an ordinary time, before I go out, my mind will be like a mirror."

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was gloomy, like two deep pools, "Today there must be a big battle, my heart is so excited that I need to rest up before the battle to calm down."

"Brother, who are you talking about?" Sitting beside Ming Yang, Ji Chengye heard what Zhong Shenxiu said, and said, "Shenxing Taibao reported back, Daode Zong Yuanzhen appeared in the county yesterday, and he should also participate in this prayer." Rain Ritual. In addition, the Department of Yin Law received news that there were people fighting against the first generation of Linfeng Mountain last night. Looking at the traces on the scene, one of them is the young leader of the Taiping Sect, Yang Wei, and the other is likely to be the one who took away the Rain Master's amulet. Jiang Li, I just don't know who will win."

"Jiang Li has no means to save his life, and Yang Chuan's strength is definitely higher than him. This battle may be more or less fatal for him." Ming Yang guessed.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know if the Taiping Sect shows up." Ji Chengye laughed.

If the Taiping Sect does not show up, it means that the Rain Master Talisman has not yet been obtained.

If he showed up, then Jiang Li would really be in danger.

While speaking, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly felt something, and looked towards the sky.

"Here we come," he said.

I saw a piece of frosty white appearing in the eastern sky, and a sword light passed through the sky, sweeping hundreds of feet in the air in an instant, and the wind of the sword whizzed, causing the onlookers to exclaim incessantly.

"Sword cultivator, it's Yuan Zhen." Ming Yang said immediately.

The sword light folded down in mid-air, and fell to the ground suddenly, the frosty white brilliance disappeared, revealing four figures, one of them was rich and handsome, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, exactly what Ming Yang said about Yuan Zhen.

However, Yuan Zhen, who was supposed to be the leader, was half a step behind, allowing another young Taoist to take the lead.

"Ok?"

Zhong Shenxiu couldn't help but look at her with his eyes.

But before he had any clues, the sky reappeared in a strange state.

There is a calamitous cloud coming from the west, and the dragon and snake in the center are churning and gliding in the air, causing the people below to scream in surprise.

Even the members of the Daodezong who had just appeared were shocked.

"Long Yu?" Zhang Daoyi whispered.

There is a flying technique in Xuanmen, which is called "Chengyu", and the dragon is one of these techniques. It uses dragon snakes as mounts to ride through the sky and travel around the world, regardless of mountains and rivers.

But in today's world, monsters are extinct, and dragons and snakes are also human beings, and it is against morality to take advantage of them. Therefore, no one has practiced the dragon's swaying technique. I didn't expect to see a similar scene today.

The catastrophic cloud moved to the sky above the altar, and the shadow of the dragon inside was closer. Everyone could see its teeth and claws flying in the air. There was also a monk in white, standing on top of the dragon, looking pure and happy. Suddenly, Buddha light descended from the sky, Shine the sky and the earth.
