Chapter 325 Argument
Tianshi Mansion at the foot of Longhu Mountain.
The Longhu Mountain lineage has been favored by many dynasties since the first generation of Zhang Tianshi. The Ming Dynasty respects Taoism, and the Tianshi Mansion was also expanded many times when the Zhushi was in power. Its scale is huge and not inferior to the royal mansion.
However, the Tianshi Mansion is mostly where ordinary Taoists from the Tianshi lineage live. People like Zhang Tianshi and Shaoshi, if nothing happens, they will mostly practice on the mountain and stay away from the world.
It is said that Longhu Mountain and Ying Yi have had two intersections. The first time was Mr. Zhang, and the second time was Mr. Zhang Tian. The two have completely different attitudes.
Mr. Zhang tended to Ying Yi and thought he was a wise ruler. However, Mr. Zhang did not think that Ying Yi was not a wise ruler. He believed that Ying Yi was indeed a wise ruler. However, Ying Yi's philosophy made him disgusted, and he became unwilling.
At that time, because of a new money, Zhang Tianshi used the benefits of magic to deceive soldiers without reporting, and almost fought with Ying Yi. He had no good impression of the first meeting. Then Ying Yi's conditions made him extremely angry. How could a monk be left alone by Ying Yi's order? If this is the case, where is the Taoist priest's heart? What is the Taoist sanity?
At that time, Master Zhang even had the idea of supporting others and fighting against Ying Yi.
However, when he went south, Zhang Tianshi thought about it and thought that if Longhu Mountain had ended in person, it would be contrary to the ancestral system, and the other would be implicated in the world, fearing disaster.
You should know that the Tianshi Sect has been favored and respected throughout the ages, because of its high magic power and he dare not provoke it at any time. The other is that he has never personally participated in national affairs.
He and Ying Yi were contrary to their ideas. There was actually no hatred between them. If they were angry, they would be involved in Longhu Mountain in the whirlpool of fighting for the dragon and seizing the tripod, the consequences would be worrying. Zhang Tianshi had seen Ying Yi with his own eyes, and knew that this person was powerful. He had observed him for a long time in Henan, and even knew that Yi Zheng had a strong army. He supported people to fight him, and the possibility of failure was extremely high.
Once the failure is made, Longhu Mountain, which has ended in person, will definitely be retaliated by Ying Yi. It is impossible to say that the Zhang family's Taoism will be in his hands. This is absolutely unacceptable.
It is impossible to end up in person, but Zhang Tianshi has a deep understanding of Ying Yi's philosophy and firmness. If Ying Yi waits for the founding of the country and establishing a sect, he will come up with an imperial edict to serve Longhu Mountain and take away the classics of Longhu Mountain, where will Longhu Mountain go?
For this matter, Mr. Zhang Tian and his son Mr. Shao had many arguments, but they had been unresolved.
Until this time, the storm in the north blew, and Master Zhang could no longer sit and watch. So he came down from the mountain, summoned the elders in the mansion to discuss the conclusion.
"The Xia Lord defeated the Tartars, and its momentum was achieved. I was looking at the air on the mountain, but I saw auspicious clouds rising from the north, and it was already unstoppable."
Master Zhang Tian sighed slightly: "Master Xia is a true hero. Although I am contrary to it, I admire him very much. However, Master Xia is too domineering. When I saw Master Xia, he said that those who practice Taoism were also in the human way and wanted to obtain the Longhu Mountain classics and make the monks obey the orders. This is something I don't like."
Finally, he said: "If practice is only for ordinary emperors, then what is the difference between you and me and the monks compared to the students of the world? We inherit the legacy of our ancestors and have rarely paid attention to ordinary affairs and are rarely involved in the world. We will be contaminated and transcendent. We are just to seek immortality and achieve freedom. If we are instructed and ordered by others, we will never be free."
"Father." The young master bowed and said, "Cultivating immortality is the great way and freedom. However, for thousands of years, there have been people who have obtained the great way of immortality and are truly free and free? Although we monks practice Taoism in the mountains and forests, they are also under the human way. Master Xia has a saying that children agree very much - if even people cannot do well, how can they become immortals?"
He also said, "Why should my father care about the verbal freedom? Why did my father refuse to believe what Song Yun said in his letter? Master Xia is a very human being, with mysterious wonders in his body. There are many colleagues who have served him. This is the general trend. If I do not adapt to Longhu Mountain, there will be disaster sooner or later!"
The young master said that Songyun Zhenren was the old Taoist who was outside Xuyi. When the young master went north and arrived in Xuyi, he settled in Songfeng Temple. Shi Kefa sent Yan Ermei to follow him and asked the young master to investigate Ying Yi's background.
At that time, Master Songyun said that if Ying Yi had the attitude of being a leader, he could cure external troubles, and he would definitely take the initiative to compete with him and serve him.
Sure enough, after the news came from the north that Chongzhen abdicated, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and the entire army of the Eastern Captains was wiped out, Zhengren Songyun immediately set off north. Now he was in the Crescent Valley with Zhenren Li.
Now, Master Songyun has been on the Humanitarian List in the morning, and has studied the wonders of Yuanfu with Master Li and several monks who later took the initiative to join Henan. He has also written to Longhu Mountain many times to inform him of some mystery and tried his best to invite Master Zhang to Henan again, but he did not receive a response from Master Zhang.
"I have ignored the faith of fellow Taoist Songyun." Master Zhang Tian sighed: "However, what is said in the faith is incredible. Even if I have practiced the mysterious method for many years, I feel incredible. It is really absurd that Master Xia has already held the human way in his hand. The human way is vague and invisible. How can I hold the human way in his hand? I really can't believe it."
Master Zhang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. Master Zhang Tian was already stubborn. Perhaps this is true when he is old. Just as the other elders also think the same.
He said, "Father, Lord Xia started in a short period of time, and it has become a major trend in less than three years. Even the invincible Eastern Captain, who is a virtuous cavalry, isn't this an incredible thing? How could such a thing be there for thousands of years? If Lord Xia had no mystery? How could it be possible?! My father had been with Master Song Yun for many years, didn't he know his character? Did Master Song Yun ever say lies?"
He also said: "My father never forgets the new coin of the Xia Lord. The new coin is very material. My father uses it to refine talismans and it is beneficial to everything. Can those treasure materials be refined by ordinary means?"
Mr. Zhang was dry-mouthed, but a group of elders and his father, Mr. Zhang, were unmoved. Mr. Zhang, sighed inwardly. Mr. Zhang, knew that it was not that Mr. Zhang, and others who really did not believe in the letters of Songyun, but were unwilling to be mandated by others, and they were even more unwilling to hand over the classics hidden in the mansion easily.
The young master sighed and stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I beg my father to let me go north. I am willing to serve the Lord of Xia. If there are disasters in the future, it will be a way out."
No more words at the moment, he turned around and left.
When he left the door, the young master saw the white clouds and absent dogs in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.
Then at this moment, a Taoist came in a hurry, and the young master was slightly surprised and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter in a hurry?"
The Taoist priest bowed: "Young Master, it is Ying Tianlai's previous dynasty officials who want to meet the Heavenly Master."
"Officer of the previous dynasty?" Shao Shi was stunned and said, "Who is it?"
Since Chongzhen announced the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty became the previous dynasty, and many people have agreed.
Taoist said: "He is a man called Shi Kefa."
"Shi Kefa..." Master Zhang's heart changed and said, "You don't have to go to find Master Tian anymore. I just had time to meet him."
The Taoist thought that the young master went to see him, and it was probably the same, so he said, "The young master follows me."
Then I met Shi Kefa in a side hall.
When Shi Kefa saw that it was the young master, he stood up and couldn't help but smile: "It turned out to be the young master in front of him, but he hasn't seen him for more than a year."
The young master bowed his head: "Mr. Shi, are you safe?"
When Shi Kefa heard this, his expression changed slightly: "I am now the Minister of the Ministry of War of Yingtian."
The young master smiled and said, "Since Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict, the Ming Dynasty has disappeared. Why should Mr. Shi deceive himself?"
Shi Kefa's face turned dark: "Young Master, don't talk nonsense."
