Chapter 8 It’s hard to find the Western Scriptures if you are poor or humble

"I'm tired of hearing those words, but my daughter heard that there were knights who got rid of the evil tiger in Qingping Mountain recently?"

When this matter was mentioned, Zhang Qingyun's expression immediately changed.

Seeing his father's face, Zhang Qing asked what happened.

Zhang Qingyun was also depressed, so he told Zhang Qing about his invitation to Jiang Sheng as a casual conversation.

After hearing this, Zhang Qing couldn't help laughing and said: "Father, you did something wrong indeed."

Zhang Qingyun was puzzled: "Why did I do something wrong as a father?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Father, my daughter has heard a storybook."

"It is said that in the Western Region continent in the far west, there is the Dai Tianlong Temple, a holy place of Buddhism. One day, a novice from the Dai Tianlong Temple went down the mountain to give a lecture to the leader of a small country and collected three liters and three measures of gold sand."

"When the novice came back, he expected to be praised by the Arhat, but the Arhat said that he received too little and sold the scriptures at a low price."

"Father, why do you think the Arhat scolded the novice monk?"

"This Taoist priest is not a monk from our Qi country. Father, I am afraid you have overestimated yourself and underestimated that Taoist priest."

Zhang Qingyun couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought about it.

I didn't feel anything in the family before.

But after coming out, Zhang Qingyun also deeply felt the value of practitioners.

Among the monks who have cultivated themselves, except those casual cultivators with no background and ordinary Qi-training monks with no hope of promotion, who would miss the prosperity of the world?
Who else would fear the princes and generals?

I originally thought about asking a monk to be my assistant, but now it seems that I am afraid that I have hated the Taoist named Jiang Sheng.

Zhang Qing asked again: "What does father intend to do by inviting that Taoist priest here?"

"Recently, my daughter has heard that her father's policies are frequently blocked by the gentry and common people. Could it be that his father plans to use the Taoist priest as a helping hand?"

Zhang Qingyun sighed and said helplessly: "My father does have this idea."

"Qing'er, you also know that my father is new here. No matter in the county or in every town, he is obedient to his father."

"Those gentry and wealthy merchants controlled everything inside and outside the county, but the people only feared the river god and listened to the bewitchments of those gentry and wealthy merchants."

"If this continues, won't my father become a puppet in the hands of those gentry?"

Looking at his smart daughter, Zhang Qingyun suddenly asked: "Qing'er, in my opinion, what should I do next as a father?"

Zhang Qing first dismissed the servants waiting around, and after everyone left, she smiled and said, "Then it depends on what you really want to do, Father."

Zhang Qingyun was very puzzled: "What does Qing'er mean by this?"

"Father, do you plan to destroy the River God Festival?" Zhang Qing asked.

Zhang Qingyun frowned slightly: "I have this plan."

Zhang Qing asked: "The River God Festival, sacrificing six pairs of boys and girls every year can bring good weather for the year. As long as this continues, my father can smoothly survive his term in Qingshan County, why must he destroy it?"

Zhang Qingyun looked at his daughter and sighed quietly: "The River God indeed only needs to sacrifice six pairs of boys and girls every year to ensure smooth weather in Qingshan County."

"But the river god is not canonized by the imperial court. He sucks the incense of the people and sacrifices boys and girls. This is an obscene sacrifice!"

"Since he is a prostitute, he is not a god, but a demon!"

As he spoke, Zhang Qingyun suddenly stood up: "Exchanging care for six pairs of children under the age of six every year in exchange for a year of good weather is a natural thing for a father to do. It's not like a father doesn't understand the principle of sacrificing the younger to protect the elder! "

"But if my father can kill the river god of the Taiping River, destroy his obscene worship, and regain the hearts of the people of Qingshan County back to the court, this will be a great political achievement!"

"The entire thirteen counties of Dongjun are sitting back and watching the demons' obscene sacrifices, and if my father opposes the obscene sacrifices, then my father will be in the eyes of the court." Zhang Qing looked at his excited father and couldn't help but sigh.

She and her father are members of the family, and have not been taken seriously by the family since childhood.

My father had no cultivation skills, but my mother had some, but even so, as a side branch, she was destined to work hard for the main family.

My father had suffered in the family for many years and was suppressed, and my mother was constantly instigated by the family and eventually lost her life.

After the monk mother disappeared, the father and daughter were even more bullied.

These trivial matters could not be noticed by the senior family members, so their life was extremely difficult.

It was Zhang Qing's mother who sacrificed her life to be able to come to Qingshan County to serve as a county magistrate.

Zhang Qingyun often told Zhang Qing that these side branches did not get much support from the main family, and they finally had the opportunity. How far they could go could only depend on themselves.

Zhang Qing understood that his father was going to take this opportunity to make a comeback.

"Qing'er, do you know that you also have the qualifications to practice, but you have been replaced by the direct descendants of the master's family? The master's family doesn't want you to succeed in practice at all. They just want you to marry in the future to share the worries of the master's family!" Zhang Qingyun broke out again! A secret.

Seeing Zhang Qing's shock, Zhang Qingyun added: "Before I became a father, I was controlled by others and could not do anything. As long as I can do what I am doing now, then you and I, father and daughter, will never be the same as before."

"In the future, if the imperial court rewards you, Qing'er, you will also have the resources to practice, and you will be free from restraints from now on."

Zhang Qing sighed softly, looking at his father who was once very high-spirited but now has a few gray hairs, feeling a little distressed: "My daughter knew it would be like this."

Zhang Qingyun knew that his daughter was extremely intelligent and had the talent of being a top scholar, so he knew she had an idea when he saw her appearance.

"This is one of the few opportunities we have, Qing'er. If you have an idea, just say it. If you can do it as a father, you will definitely do it!"

"You and my daughter must never be used as pawns again."

Zhang Qing analyzed the situation and her thoughts were spinning rapidly: "Our country of Qi has its own Taoist palace, and there are corresponding court monks in every state and county; and every state and county also has sects and aristocratic cultivating families."

"Their most important thing in each place is to maintain stability and eliminate demons and obscene priests."

Zhang Qingyun nodded, indeed.

Everyone in the counties of East County worships the so-called river god and offers boys and girls as gifts. This matter only needs to be reported to the county governor, who will then ask the local sects and spiritual families to take action.

Naturally, the practicing families and sects in various places did not dare to violate the imperial system.

Just listen to Zhang Qing continue to say: "From the first two county magistrates to the present, it has been decades. If I say that I don't know anything about the situation of the sect family in Dongjun, who will believe it?"

"But the sects and aristocratic families in Dongjun are indifferent to this. Why is this?"

Zhang Qingyun frowned deeply: "As a father, I have never thought about this matter."

Zhang Qing looked at her county-respected father with an expressionless face: "Father, this matter is of great importance, it is related to your life and mine!"

"If there really is any secret in it, if we attack the River God rashly, we will lose more than we gain."

Zhang Qingyun drank tea silently and finally said: "We still have to do this. As long as we make it big enough and attract enough people, we will have a chance to turn around!"

Zhang Qing nodded: "If father insists on doing it, the Taoist priest from Qingping Mountain must be invited."

"Father, you need to be sincere."
