Getaway

Zhang Qing entered the small courtyard first, saw that Chen Nan was busy making barrels in the courtyard, so he moved a small bench and sat beside him and waited quietly.

Chen Nan meticulously planed the two small sides of a bucket side board as smooth as a mirror with a bench planer, then put the board aside, and said, "What's wrong with you? With your ability, you still can't control yourself?"

"Heart disease", Zhang Qing answered first.

"A majestic celestial master with hundreds of millions of believers who lectures on scriptures and Taoism every day, yet he has a heart disease? If you have a heart disease, I'm just a grassroots person, how can I cure it?"

"The Daoist should not be overly humble. Apart from the Daoist and his master Daoist Xue, there is no one else in the world who can heal the heart disease of the poor Taoist. The poor Taoist couldn't find his teacher, so he had to ask the Taoist priest to heal him." Zhang Qingxian said.

"You don't need to drop the bookbag, just talk, what's wrong with you?"

"Pindao came here today for the Xiaoyao faction."

"What can the Xiaoyao faction do? It's killing innocent people indiscriminately, or it's bullying men and women. It can make Master Tianshi angry." Chen Nan joked.

"The Xiaoyao faction claims to be a decent school, so naturally they would not do such vulgar things. However, what the Xiaoyao faction has done recently is actually more harmful to the society than killing innocent people indiscriminately." Zhang Qingxian said.

"Oh, why don't I know. Why is it worse than killing innocent people indiscriminately?"

"The Taoist priest knows that the Xiaoyao Sect has built many temples in Wudang Mountain, threatening to recruit disciples from all over the world. What he did, he vaguely regarded himself as the Taoist Zhengshuo, and he wanted to put me down!"

"I, Chen Niwan, am in this small Boluo County, and I'm just hooping barrels in this small courtyard. How many apprentices Xiaoyao sends has nothing to do with me?" Chen Nan changed the subject, pretending to have suddenly realized, and said, "I understand. Master Tianshi is afraid that the Xiaoyao Sect will snatch away all qualified disciples, and you can't find good seedlings in your dignified teaching. That's why you have a heart attack. Am I right?"

Zhang Qingxian did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Could it be that Daoist Chen is not worried that he will not be able to find a disciple to pass on your mantle in a hundred years. The Taoist priest has profound mana, the Golden Liquid Returning Pill Jue, and Jingxiao Dalei Langshu are world-class magical skills. Wouldn't it be a pity that the Tao would end forever?"

Chen Nan replied: "Our Southern sect's Taoism is passed on from generation to generation. It is not as prosperous as your Zhengyi teaching, so we don't need to recruit many disciples. I just find a disciple to pass on my mantle."

"If all the talents in the world are wiped out by the Xiaoyao Sect, how can you not find even one of your disciples?"

"If that's the case, I'll..." Chen Nan pondered for a moment.

"How about the Daoist?"

"Our Nanzong lineage originally originated from the Xiaoyao Sect. If I really can't recruit disciples, I will beg Xu Zhuzi with a calm face and call him a master, so that I can return to the Xiaoyao Sect. Since there are all talents in the world Belonging to the Xiaoyao Sect, won't I be able to recruit disciples when I go back?" Chen Nan said.

"The Daoist made a good plan, but it's a pity that Zhang Ziyang, the founder of the Southern Sect, was superior to his master Liu Haichan, so he didn't recognize himself as a branch of the Xiaoyao Sect, and established his own family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Xiaoyao Sect regards your Southern Sect as rebellious and will not get rid of it. Then it’s all over soon, and you still want to accept you back to the sect? No matter how determined Xu Zhuzi is, I’m afraid it will be difficult to swallow this breath.”

"If Xu Zhuzi can't swallow this breath, what does he have to do with the celestial master? It seems that I, Chen, can't help you with your mental illness."

Seeing that Chen Nan wanted to see off the guests, Zhang Qingxian immediately said, "May I ask Daoist Chen, what do you think about the Xiaoyao faction helping Yu Yunwen to cut gold?"

"I am from the Song Dynasty, so I want to cut gold, so what can I think?" Chen Nan asked back.

"The words of the Taoist priest are biased. In the battle of the gods in Shang and Zhou Dynasties in the past, monks intervened in the war, causing countless lives to die. Therefore, we Daoist cultivators have agreed not to directly intervene in secular wars. Today, the Xiaoyao faction is blatantly violating this covenant because of its strength. In order to stop the perverse behavior of the Xiaoyao Sect, Guizong and I Zhengyi have a duty to teach. Daoist Chen will not ignore it, right?" Zhang Qingxian said.

"After conferring the gods, did the monks really not intervene in the war? Zhou Yu burned Chibi, where did the wind come from? Why did Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei rush to Nanping Mountain in advance to wait to see the fire? Did it cause such a big fire? If the Battle of Feishui did not have Wang Xuanfu’s help, the vegetation on Bagong Mountain would be full of soldiers, would Xie An be able to play chess with peace of mind?” Chen Nan asked back, “I think that the participation of monks in the battle may not necessarily lead to more lives. The participation of monks in the battle may not mean fewer deaths. The Battle of Changping did not involve monks, and more than 50 people died. As long as monks on both sides did not participate in the battle, it would not be like the Battle of Conferred Gods. Now that the Kingdom of Jin has no innate masters, I believe that the Xiaoyao Sect will restrain their actions. If Yu Yunwen can really drive the Jin people to the north of Luan River, I will be too happy, why would he obstruct it?"

"If it's just to expel the Jin people, we naturally don't have to worry too much, but since the Xiaoyao faction will take action to expel the Jin people, there is no guarantee that it will not overthrow the Song Dynasty." Zhang Qingxian said, "If we let the Xiaoyao faction do whatever they want and make them eat their marrow Zhiwei, one day he will be above the imperial court, what should we do?"

Chen Nan smiled and said: "Now the Xiaoyao Sect has four great innate masters, and Wang Chongyang has obtained the inheritance of Emperor Xuanwu, and he will soon become a Xiantian. I am only a half-step innate. Even if I want to restrain the Xiaoyao Sect, I am powerless. trouble?"

"Otherwise," Zhang Qingxian said, "Even if we all come out, we are definitely not the enemies of the Xiaoyao faction. But my intention is not to fight against the Xiaoyao faction. We only need to show the world with our own special skills Let the world know that the Taoist cultivators in the world are not only the Happy School, and if you suppress the momentum of the Happy School a little, they will restrain themselves a little, and they will not make upside-down actions in the future."

"I understand. This is called knocking the mountain to shake the tiger. The celestial master is indeed a celestial master. It turned out that he was planning for a rainy day, and worried that the Xiaoyao faction would harm the country. In this case, Chen must find the right time to meet the strong man of the Xiaoyao faction."

"When the Taoist priest is gone, the poor Taoist will go with the Taoist priest." Zhang Qingxian said confidently, having fulfilled his wish.

In the central capital of the Kingdom of Jin, in the Jinluan Hall, the emperor Wanyanyong roared out of composure.

"In the urgent battle report just received this morning, Yu Yunwen has already taken Fengxiang. Another demon girl in yellow made a move, and she destroyed the city wall of my Fengxiang mansion with a sword, causing the army's morale to collapse. In just eight days, I lost Fengxiang mansion. The demon woman He even said that he would help Yu Yunwen to drive our Dajin Kingdom to the north of Luan River. Dear Aiqin, what should I do, what should I do!"

Wan Yanyong strives hard to govern, he is frugal, not extravagant, he is strict with himself, known as "Little Yao and Shun", but when the enemy gets help from God, Yao and Shun will be revived, and it is difficult to calm down.

The civil and military officials were obsequious, and no one dared to speak.

"In the Song Dynasty, there were strangers to help us. Our territory is no less than that of the Song Dynasty. Why don't we have a god and a half?" Wan Yanyong asked. "Are you all talking?"

Dan Kening, a political officer in Pingzhang, boldly said: "My minister heard that Mr. Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, can use a piece of paper to draw amulets to cure diseases and eliminate disasters. I think Mr. Zhang may have a strategy to deal with witches."

Wan Yanyong jumped off the dragon chair like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and asked eagerly: "Zhang Aiqing, can you capture that demon girl?"

Zhang Xuansu, Minister of the Household Department, turned pale with shock, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I only know a little about drawing talismans. The witch is an innate master, and I am absolutely no match for him."

"Then tell me, in my Dajin country, who can capture the demon girl?"

"Your Majesty Qizuo, although our Dajin Kingdom has a household registration of more than 400 million, there is no one who can restrain this witch. As the monks often say, everyone is an ant under the innate. sword."

"Bold Zhang Xuansu, dare to say that we are all ants!" All the ministers were furious, "Zhang Xuansu committed a crime with words, and the crime should be punished."

Zhang Xuansu was also intimidated by his unintentional words, and hurriedly begged His Majesty for forgiveness.

But Wan Yanyong was talking to himself: "Everyone is born with ants. That's right. Qin Shihuang was rich all over the world, and he had millions of armours. If he wanted to see a celestial being, he couldn't get it. I have hundreds of thousands of armors. From the perspective of readers, they are just bigger ants."

Wan Yanyong changed his voice and said: "Put down my will, and post the announcements in all major capitals. Regardless of the innate strength of that country, as long as they are willing to help our Jin Kingdom, they will be entrusted with the position of national teacher immediately. Don't talk about gold, silver, jade and silk. , even cracking the soil to seal the king is all right."

Zhang Xuansu saw that the emperor did not blame himself, so he continued to speak: "Your Majesty, I remember one person, or he is a congenital master."

Wan Yanyong hurriedly asked: "Who is it, where is it now?"

"This man's name is Xue Shi, and his courtesy name is Daoguang. He was born in Jizu Mountain, Jingzhao Prefecture. He used to be a monk at Kaifu Temple in Chang'an. His Dharma name was Zixian. One day, he met Shi Tai, a Taoist priest from the heavens. He was taught immortal formulas, so he abandoned Buddhism and practiced Taoism. There are many people in the world. Passing on his supernatural powers may have reached the innate realm. It's just..."

"Just what?" Wanyan Yong asked.

"This son's whereabouts are uncertain, and I don't know how to find him."

"Pedantry, why bother to search and pass the decree to permanently exempt the Hua County tax of Jingzhao Prefecture, overhaul the Kaifu Temple, build a Taoist temple on Jizu Mountain, and promote the patriarch of the Xue clan to be the county magistrate of Hua County. Come see me." Wan Yanyong said confidently.

Right Prime Minister Tang Kuo Anli said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan, which may be able to dispel Yu Yunwen's attack."

"Prime Minister, please tell me." Wan Yanyong trusted Tang Kuo Anli very much.

"The king and ministers of the Song Dynasty have always been suspicious. My ministers dare to say that the more powerful Yu Yunwen's army is, the more difficult it is for Zhao Bozong in Lin'an City to sleep and eat. How did our dynasty deal with Yue Pengju when he was in full swing? Today, Bendang will also deal with it."

"The prime minister's words are reasonable. According to the prime minister's words, how should our Dajin Kingdom respond?"

"Send detailed works to disseminate Yu Yunwen's skillful use of swords and soldiers in the Song Dynasty. His intention is not to cut gold, but to support the soldiers to stand on their own. This is one. Send envoys to make friends with the Song court, buy officials with money and silk, and impeach at the Song court. Yu Yunwen disobeyed the above order, relying on the help of the demon way, intending to sweep the world. The second is to send dead soldiers to burn down the plank road on Lizhou Road, to block the connection between Yu Yunwen's department and the middle of Sichuan, and the third."

Tang Kuo Anli paused for a moment, and then said: "From the perspective of the old minister, the demon girl is good at controlling water and destroying the city several times, but she is unwilling to kill life with her own hands. Therefore, if we want to reduce the influence of the demon girl on the battle situation as much as possible, our army should Fighting with the Song army in the wilderness."

"The prime minister's words are reasonable, so he will follow the prime minister's policy." Wanyan Yong said comfortably.
