Chapter 25 The Traders Behind the Dynasty

The setting sun fell through the window, shining on a pale handsome man on the bed.The man looked to be around 20 years old, his brows were furrowed, as if he had met someone unknown in his dream.

"The traitor seeks death!" The man suddenly yelled, and the man sat up from the bamboo bed.There were bursts of pain in my legs, and my body was unstable, so I barely supported myself by holding on to the edge of the bed.

The man looks at his legs.He fell into the river and drifted away along the river. His legs were covered with bruises, and even his ankles were displaced, and he was caught with bamboo boards.

"Where is this?" The man's voice was hoarse, and he looked around in surprise. He was plotted against by his enemies and was forced to escape by the river. He was full of vigilance and looked at the surrounding environment, so he wanted to get out of bed forcibly.

At this time, the door opened, and a girl in a white dress came in holding soup.

"Woke up so soon?" The girl put the medicine beside the man's bed.

The man looked around vigilantly: "Where is this place?"

"This is the Doulao Temple, located on the Nanshan Mountain of Jinling." Wei Qian was a little amused when he saw the man was suspicious.However, thinking of the clothes and clothing on the man after he was salvaged ashore, it can be seen that the man is by no means an ordinary person, he seems to be the queen of a prince.

"So, this is the suspicion of the big family." Wei Qian thought in his heart, and said: "I was hunting in the mountains and picked you up from the water. Master said that you are fine, except that you were bruised when you were floating in the water. A lot of bruises. As for your feet, they have been fixed for you, so don’t move around, just apply some bruises in a few days.” Wei Qian raised a pot of medicinal wine in her hand: “You can apply it yourself. Decoction, this is because you soaked in the water for too long and contracted a cold, so the medicine was boiled for you."

The man didn't speak, he carefully looked at the brown concoction in the bowl and the medicinal wine next to him, and remained motionless.

"Why, are you worried that I'll poison you? I'll carry you back in the morning to poison you. Before you wake up, there are plenty of opportunities!" Wei Qian raised the medicine bowl and took a sip: " how?"

"I'm not suspicious of the girl, but I'm not in danger in Nanshan, but in Luoxi."

"Luoxi?" Wei Qian's face changed. Nanshan is to the south of Jinling City, and Luoxi is to the north of Jinling City. Not to mention hundreds of miles apart, the two are not the same water system.What happened in Luoxi, how could it happen in Nanshan!

This is also the man's biggest question. Seeing Wei Qian's puzzled expression, the man continued to ask, "I was in danger in Luoxi on May [-]th. I wonder what date it is today?"

"May [-]th." Wei Qian was silent.A person can float in the water for so long, and then just scratch the skin, without dying? "This morning, I was hunting in the mountains, and I happened to rescue you in the pool. According to the water system, it should be the Cangshui River system."

There is a problem, there is a big problem here!

The two thought at the same time, and fell silent to each other.

The man tried his best to remember the Cangshui River system. He came to the south to do business, deliberately checked the map, and memorized the distribution of the rivers in the south. If it is the Cangshui River system, then the junction with Luoxi should be the lower reaches of Jinling City, not Nanshan!

"Besides, although there are quite a few people who want to kill me, who would be so blatant when I was ordered to do business? Could it be that some people really embezzled and embezzled during this disaster relief?"

"However, thank you for saving my life first!" The man was the first to recover, and bowed his hands to Wei Qian.

"It's nothing, our Nanshan is a place of pure cultivation, and we don't want to see outsiders die here." Wei Qian's attitude was alienated, obviously unwilling to get involved in the inside story of the man's distress.He just said: "Take the soup and medicine first, and I will bring you food later."

As for whether the man should eat or not, or take medicine, that has nothing to do with Wei Qian.

Wei Qian left in a hurry and went to Tongguangyuan to report to Master Lingwan.

"You said that he had an accident the day before yesterday?" Ling Wan was very knowledgeable, and after Wei Qian came back carrying the man, she immediately recognized the man's identity.Not to mention the appearance of being rich and powerful, there is also the aura of the dragon court surrounding her body.

"He is destined for a catastrophe, I understand this old woman, and this catastrophe should be in Nanshan." Ling Wan took out a yellow talisman, and on the talisman was drawn a spell that Ling Wan could not understand. "But according to what you said, where was he between these two days?"

According to what the man said, the accident happened on the [-]th, and he fell into the water and walked along.But it appeared in Nanshan on the [-]th, where did it come from?

Looking at the talismans found on the man, Ling Wan's heart sank.

Wei Qian looked at the talisman curiously: "According to the number of ways, this mantra is somewhat related to the Taishang Dragon and Tiger lineage. But there is an evil magic power in it, which is definitely not authentic Taoism." Ling Wan refused to let Wei Qian learn to draw talismans, Delaying the practice for free, but Wei Qian has also read a lot of books on weekdays, and knows the respective origins of the 36 talismans today.

Seeing Wei Qian's curiosity, Ling Wan secretly thought: Well, if the owner of this talisman is really that family, I'm afraid Xuan Ning will meet again in the future.

Therefore, Ling Wan said: "This talisman belongs to Tong Yuan Sect."

"Tong Yuan Sect?" Wei Qian recalled Xuanyun explaining the different sects of Taoism: "Ten great caves, 24 orthodoxy, it seems that there is no such school."

"Just like us, they are all in decline orthodoxy, and they have a big enmity with our Lishan side." Ling Wan slowly spoke about the origin of Tongyuan Sect.

Tongyuan Sect is a sect that honored the Emperor Huangtian during the Three Kingdoms period. Some people call it Taiping Dao, and some call it Yellow Turban Bandit.At the beginning, some people saw that Zhang Jiao and others were defeated and stole the "Taiping Yaoshu" to create a new line. Later, they were born many times in an attempt to use the dragon's veins to become enlightened.

When the two Jin Dynasties were easier, the Tongyuan Sect appeared. Later, in the troubled times, it was even more cholera, and it was not suppressed again until another group of monks supported the Great Sui Dynasty.

"Back when Yang Jian was old, Tongyuan Sect supported Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty to succeed him, killed Yang Yong, and disrupted the Dragon Spirit of Shenzhou."

After listening all the way, Wei Qian was shocked.

"These people are the best at inverting the dragon's spirit and presenting beautiful women to the cholera king. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was like this, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty was like this, and even during Tang Zhongzong's time, Tongyuan Sect was involved."

"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Tongyuan Sect first sent beauties to confuse the king, and then supported Wang Shichong when the dragon spirit dispersed. However, it was suppressed by Li Tang, who was supported by Buddhism, and finally the Tang Dynasty established a prosperous empire. However, the Tongyuan Sect refused to follow suit. He also bewitched the brothers Li and Tang to fight among themselves, which led to the change of Xuanwu Gate. Hmph, speaking of it, it was at that time that he learned about the Yuan Sect and our Liangzi on Lishan Mountain.”

Ling Wan said to Wei Qian, "Do you know Fan Lihua?"

"I know, it's said that Lishan's old mother is a follower?" Wei Qian reacted: "Is she one of us?"

"That's right. At the beginning, Li Shimin took advantage of Buddhism to ascend to the throne. Later, when his sons were fighting for the dragon, Fan Lihua, a predecessor of our Lishan School, came forward to oppose the Tongyuan Sect. Later, during Tang Zhongzong Li Xian's period, the leader of the Tongyuan Sect, Wei Xuanzhen, married his daughter to Li Xian. Take the opportunity to seize the country."

Wei Qian was shocked when he heard this, did he dare to think that there would be cultivators intervening in every dynasty change?

"What gave you the illusion that a cultivator doesn't care about the world?" Ling Wan asked back: "Our Lishan School supported Emperor Zetian back then, and because of this, three generations of mothers have completed their merits and virtues and ascended to Taoism."

There are some words that Ling Wan didn't finish.At that time, the Lishan faction and the Maitreya lineage alliance of Buddhism supported Wu Yan's supremacy and offended the Taoist sect. Later, the Taoist gods and the old mother of Lishan discussed the Tao for nine days and nine nights, and the Lilongzhu was broken in this battle. Forced to ascend to heaven.

As a result, Buddhism declined, and Taoism supported Tang Minghuang to honor the Dragon Court.

Tongyuanjiao also got a respite, and tossed again during the Tang Minghuang period.Because of the battle between my mother and Taoism, most of the Taoism was swept away, and all parties suffered heavy losses, so I didn't care about Tongyuan Sect at all.Let Tong Yuanjiao lead to the Anlu Mountain Rebellion, which almost destroyed the Tang Dynasty.

"These yellow turban rebels came out to stir up trouble after several times of dynasty change. Could it be that it started again this time?" Ling Wan fell into deep thought, Wei Qian straightened her body, feeling a sense of crisis somewhere.She doesn't think that people who understand Yuanjiao will kindly let her go.

"According to what Master said, Tong Yuanjiao's inversion of dragon energy is nothing more than to seduce the cholera king, or use the dragon's struggle to destroy the court's foundation and cause internal friction." Wei Qian pondered: "Now that the emperor is about to die, I'm afraid the next battle to seize the dragon The battle is about to begin. Thinking about it this way, could it be that what Tong Yuanjiao did was to choose a prince to take the throne, and there will be another Anlu Mountain chaos like Tang Minghuang?"

"Maybe." Ling Wan didn't dare to take it by herself, so she told Wei Qian, "I remember your senior sister steamed Qibao rice today?"

"Yes." Wei Qian was very satisfied with the mountain dumplings that she ate at noon: "Senior sister made twenty seven pagodas, and I will send them to master for dinner later."

"You ask your senior sister to make another cage, and go to the Guanyin Temple to send two copies to the holy monk."

"Going to Guanyin Temple, doesn't it mean that the relationship between our two families is not good?"

Think about it, both of them are in Nanshan, worshiped by the people in Jinling City, and compete with each other for incense, can the relationship be good?

"Miss Dou Lao is known as Molizhitian in Buddhism, and she is a great sage in the Buddhist world. Three generations of old mothers have joined hands with Buddhism to support Wu Yan." Ling Wan said: "You just go and deliver the food, and hand over this talisman to the holy monk by the way."

Wei Qian promised, greeted Xuanyu with a talisman, and took a food box to the Guanyin Temple.

But this road is not gone.

Seeing no one around, Wei Qian soared into the sky, floating like a fairy, riding the wind and controlling the air, with the help of the wind and clouds, he set up a cloud bridge and fell into the Guanyin Temple on another mountain.

Yunqiao Feixian, this is one of the three spells that Wei Qian has learned so far.

Landing lightly, this foot landed just right at the gate of Guanyin Temple.

"Perfect!" Wei Qian smiled triumphantly, looking at the Guanyin Temple.

In the Qingdeng ancient temple, the sound of Buddha is lingering, standing at the door and looking at the Guanyin Temple.The Buddhist temple is simple and deserted. Although the attics of the Buddhist halls are neatly arranged, they are always a little less lively than the Doumu Temple.

"It seems that the incense in the Buddhist monastery has really failed these years, at least not as good as our Doumu Temple." Looking at the Buddhist monastery, Wei Qian shook his head: "It really needs to be refurbished."

Just finished speaking, a group of resplendent temples and palaces appeared in front of my eyes.Glazed tiles, seven-treasure pagoda, silver brick pavement, gold brick walls, the brilliance is eye-catching.

There are three phantoms of the Buddha above the temple, and there are phantoms of Arhats and Bodhisattvas all around the sky.Bursts of Sanskrit sounds came, making people let go of their troubles and find great freedom.

Wei Qian rolled his eyes, wisps of purple air formed clouds above his head, bells and colored ribbons appeared in the purple clouds and danced in the wind.

This Zixia body protection technique is the second spell she has learned.

"One vain thought, there is no self in the three realms, Xuan Ning under the seat of Lingwan has been taught." There is a figure of Dou Lao behind him, but this Dou Lao has three heads and eight arms, faintly echoing a statue of a goddess around the three Buddhas.Instead of being suppressed by the Buddha's light, he was nourished by the Buddha's light and blended into this Buddhist realm.

"What a bright mother with three heads and eight arms!" The Buddha in the center opened his eyes, gave a praise, and put his hands together: "The poor monk Wuhai, I have seen the benefactor."

The central Buddha spoke first, followed by the two nearby Buddhas.

The roar of the lion and the sound of the dragon made Wei Qian's ears buzz, and he was horrified when he saw the three Buddhas merged into one.

"Buddha has three bodies, Dharma body, Reward body, and Response body. I heard that Buddhism has a practice method, which is self-cultivation of the three bodies, and then condenses the golden body of the supreme Buddha." Wei Qian had a message in his mind: "Depends on the situation, this one A monk, at least a great Dharma body, with a higher level of cultivation than mine."

The golden light dissipated, revealing the real Guanyin Temple.A sweeping monk stood at the door.Holding a broom, the surrounding leaves spontaneously fly up and fall under the broom to be swept away by him.

"Sweeping monk, it really is the most unoffensive profession!" Wei Qian sighed in her heart, stepped forward a few steps, seemingly unintentionally said: "The great monk taught me that the world is vain, but I am moved by my words, could it be that I am in love with you?" Abandoned hatred? It seems that the great monk's cultivation is no more than this."

Just now when Wei Qian belittled the monastery, someone immediately came out to fight back, turning an illusion into a golden Buddhist temple, implying that Buddhism does not value appearance.

But Wei Qian immediately fought back, saying that this person was full of anger and contention, so he was as knowledgeable as her.

The young monk with pink face and red lips at the door froze for a moment.He was punished by the abbot to calm him down because of the dispute, but now that Wei Qian poked him, the surrounding leaves immediately fell and spread out to cover the doorway again.
