Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

The little Taoist held the strange news written by Wu Daoguan, wiped the sweat from his forehead, stopped slowly, and looked at the surrounding scenery.

I had just bypassed Jiugong County and traveled about forty miles to the foot of Erxian Mountain.

Erxian Mountain, Jiugong County, Jizhou, is where Master Luo’s ashram is located, so at the foot of the mountain, the little Taoist stopped and sat on a bluestone by the side of the road. The armored horse tied to the top was gently removed, and carefully put away, not daring to damage it in the slightest.

If he ran into Luo Zhenren with a supernatural method, the little Taoist priest would be very guilty.

So the little Taoist put away his armored horse and prepared to walk up the mountain as usual.

Master Luo is in the Zixu temple on the mountain. He doesn't care about world affairs on the surface, but in fact he has a very high prestige, and he is already the leader of the Taoist sect in the world.There is only one apprentice under Luo Zhenren, called Gongsun Sheng, who teaches various Taoism, and when he performs it, it seems that the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, so there is a name in the world called Ruyunlong, which is quite loyal.

After resting enough, the little Taoist walked slowly up the mountain. After walking for a while, a strange fragrance came to his nostrils. After careful deliberation, it seemed that two different fragrances were mixed together.

This strange fragrance seems to have the effect of relieving fatigue and invigorating people's spirits.The little Taoist sniffed the strange fragrance greedily, and unknowingly quickened his pace, because the strange fragrance in front of him became even stronger.

"It's a worthwhile trip to smell this fragrance again." After the little Taoist turned a few bends, he was already on the mountainside, and there was a slightly flat place in front of him, so he planted some exotic flowers and herbs at intervals. The little Taoist knew that although It is March in the world, but here because of the boundless mana of Luo Zhenren, the exotic flowers and plants here bloom almost all the time.

Although the strange fragrance is strong, under the influence of Master Luo's mana, this fragrance will linger in the Erxian Mountain forever, and it will disappear immediately after leaving the mountain, and ordinary people in the world are not allowed to enter the mountain. known.

"Could it be that these rare flowers and plants were really taken from the sky by Master Luo with great magic power?" The little Taoist watched and smelled it, and suddenly remembered all the rumors he had heard.

One year, Master Luo suddenly appeared in Erxian Mountain, Jiugong County, and directly drove all the residents down the mountain. When the government sent people to look, there was already a big Zixu temple on the mountain.

People from the government saw that Master Luo had such magical powers, so they dared not do anything wrong. When they asked where Master Luo came from, Master Luo smiled and said nothing, just pointed to the sky with his finger, indicating that he came from the sky.

At the same time, Master Luo also expressed that he didn't want to disturb the world, and asked the government to go to the entire Erxian Mountain, and no ordinary people in the world were allowed to go to the mountain, and he would not obey the emperor's edict.

When Song Huizong heard about this, he sighed and said: "There really is such a man among the gods in the world!" So he wrote the four characters "Guoguo Zhenren" and bestowed on Luo Zhenren the post of general manager of Taoism in the world, and ordered the Jizhou government not to disturb him, List Erxian Mountain as a restricted area.

In the eyes of the world, Master Luo is very mysterious and has boundless magical powers, but in the eyes of Taoists all over the world, Master Luo is nothing more than mystification and is not worth mentioning. Zixuguan, I didn't expect that before entering the Guanmen, a force kicked it out directly, and only then did I know how powerful Luo Zhenren is.

Master Luo took over the position of the head of the Taoist sect, and he didn't do anything to bully him. Instead, he made a rather strange request.

That is, all the Taoist sects and all the Taoist temples in the Great Song Dynasty will write down the strange things they have heard and seen every month in a record of strange stories, and send people to Zixu Temple in Erxian Mountain.

All the Taoist sects in the world were quite surprised, but this matter is really trivial, and this kind of trivial matter is gradually handed over to the heads of Taoist temples in various places.

Wu Daoguan presided over the Jade Emperor Temple and was responsible for recording anecdotes and strange events in Qinghe County and several nearby counties.

A small number of Taoist priests speculated that by doing this, Master Luo would not be able to escape his eyes whenever there was a disturbance in the Song Dynasty.But why Master Luo would do this, they couldn't figure it out.

Because Master Luo really seems to use this kind of strange news record as a pastime reading, nothing to read and play, because from Zixu Guan, he has never given any instructions to the Taoist sects of the world.

The little Taoist swayed to the front of Zixu Temple, knocked on the door respectfully, and after a short while, a Taoist boy came out from the door: "So it's Senior Brother, could it be that he's here to deliver this month's Strange Record?"

"That's right." The little Taoist took out the well-wrapped Strange Records from his pocket: "I need to trouble my younger brother to take me to see Immortal Luo."

"The Immortal is meditating in the main hall right now, you just go there." Seeing the little Taoist's familiar face, Dao Tong didn't bother to talk to him: "I still have homework to do here."

The little Taoist was not surprised either, he took the Strange Records and entered the Guanmen, and walked towards the main hall. He has been here two or three times, and he is quite familiar with the houses in Zixu Temple.

Sure enough, a good incense burner was lit in the hall. Master Luo was wearing a Jinxia crane cloak, a jade leaf star crown on his head, a long beard fluttering on his chest, and he was meditating on the cloud bed with his eyes closed.

The little Taoist didn't dare to shout loudly, so he had to stand with his hands down, and waited for a while, when Master Luo opened his eyes and said, "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Daoist Wu of Jade Emperor Palace in Qinghe County." The little Taoist remembered what Daoist Wu had told him, and didn't dare to look at Master Luo any more. He just bowed his head and bowed down: "I'm here to present this month's Strange Record."

"Put it on the altar table over there." After Master Luo finished speaking, his mind wandered off again.

The little Taoist kowtowed again, got up and opened the wrapped cloth layer by layer, took out the Strange Record written by Wu Daoguan himself, gently put it on the altar table, bowed again, and retreated.

As soon as the little Taoist priest left, Master Luo immediately jumped down from the cloud bed, rubbed his numb legs, but he didn't see the serious fairy temperament at all; when his legs got better, Master Luo began to stretch his neck to support his waist again, and moved: "Pretend to be a Taoist priest." It's just tiring, and I meditate endlessly every day. It sounds like a good job, but in fact, what is the difference from being in a prison cell?"

"Qinghe County? Well, the key observation target." Luo Zhenren picked up the book of strange stories and flipped through it.

"At the beginning of the month, there was a sow that gave birth to eighteen sons. I remember it."

The first one made Master Luo furious, it's okay that the sow gave birth too much, what's so strange about it!What to remember!Is this Wu Daoguan full of food?

"Business in Baihualou is booming, and the sun is making a lot of money."

The second one made Master Luo completely speechless, Baihualou is a common brothel name, hey!Why don't you pay attention to the business of other people's Baihualou if you have nothing to do?

The first few pages had no nutrition at all, and most of them were sloppy stuff, and even a light rain on a certain day was recorded.

Impatient, Master Luo quickly flipped through the pages, and his eyes were attracted by one of the pages.

On the page of the book was drawn a picture with...

"What are these two big men doing?" Zhenren Luo was very shocked: "What is this look like?"

Taking a closer look, Master Luo's hands trembled a little: "This...is this?"

Extremely shocked, Luo Zhenren began to read the contents of the nearby pages seriously.

"There is a rich man in Qinghe County, whose surname is Ximen Shan Mingqing, and his name is Chuixue. Within two or three days, he cut people's whips, touched his breasts, laughed at the imperial doctor, became a county captain, took concubines, rescued Wuhan University, retired his wife, and captured a robber... Such things are amazing. Copying Wu's family, you can get more than ten thousand crowns, and it is known as the West Gate of Half Street."

The Fubuki Qixiu book in the appendix below also surprised Luo Zhenren.

"The plan... Has it already started?" Luo Zhenren closed the Strange Records, looked at the roof of the hall, and said to himself.

"That's good, so I don't have to work so hard to live this kind of prison-like life here."

Master Luo strode to the entrance of the hall and shouted, "Young boy! Where is the boy!"

When Daotong heard the sound and rushed over, Master Luo had already recovered his posture as a fairy: "Boy, go and call your brother Gongsun Shenglai. I have something to tell him to do as a teacher."

"Follow the law."

After a while, there were footsteps outside the hall, and Master Luo knew that it was his apprentice Gongsun Sheng, so he jumped onto the cloud bed, closed his eyes, and made a posture of meditating.

"Teacher, please ask me for instructions." Gongsun Sheng walked in with a whisk in his hand and saluted respectfully. Then he raised his head and waited for Master Luo to teach him.

Master Luo opened his eyes, looked at Gongsun Sheng, who was eight feet long and handsome, with a big beard, and sighed in his heart: "He is so good-looking, why do you have such a beard? When do you have to find a chance? Trick him into shaving off his beard."

Gongsun Sheng stood there for a long time, seeing Luo Zhenren's eyes turning back and forth on his face, especially his beloved beard, he couldn't help feeling a little hairy, so he had to remind him in a low voice: "Teacher...Teacher?"

"Ah? Ahh." Only then did Master Luo wake up from his thoughts, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Disciple, I just wandered into Taixu as a teacher, and I got a hexagram by chance. There is a member of Qinghe County, Dongping Prefecture, called Ximen. Qing, this person is quite predestined by Taoism; it is inconvenient for him to go down the mountain, disciple, you can go there for him, and teach him the Dharma of the five thunders of Tiangang."

"What!" Gongsun Sheng was taken aback, and even the whisk in his hand fell into the dust unknowingly: "How can the teacher say such a thing? Like that Qiao Lie, who is used to magic tricks, heard the teacher's name, and came here to visit Taoism from thousands of miles away. The teacher despises Qiao. Lie came from a bad family background, he was a heretic, and he refused to teach Taoism."

"This disciple has never heard of Ximen Qing's name, and he is not a member of my Taoism. How can I talk about it?"

"The fate of the Dao is destined by heaven, how can you speculate at will!" Seeing Gongsun Sheng's doubts, Master Luo coughed: "Although you have cultivated many kinds of Taoism, you have not yet understood the subtleties, so Ximen Qing's Dao fate is so deep that it is only a handful in this world. Countable, how can I let it go!"

"Teacher, this method of rectification of the five thunders of Tiangang is the teacher's secret transmission. How can there be such a great opportunity for Ximenqing to learn it?" How much to make things difficult, why let myself teach it to an outsider for no reason today.

Even if Ximen Qing is to be admitted, at least let him carry water and firewood for a few years?

"It's okay if you don't go, as a teacher, I will take back the five thunders of that day, and abolish your cultivation." Luo Zhenren saw left and right and said, Gongsun Sheng refused to obey, and came directly like a bachelor. One sentence.

When Gongsun Sheng heard this, sweat broke out from behind his back.After thinking about it, Master Luo didn't set a deadline anyway, so Gongsun Sheng thought it would be good to take this opportunity to go sightseeing and visit friends.As for Ximen Qing, who has never heard of it, when the time comes to teach Taoism, whether he will learn it or not, Gongsun Sheng won't care.

"This...disciple is following the law."
