Chapter 35
Ming Xiu's sudden visit really shocked the Taoist nun Jingxin in the Jinsha Temple. Since the two Taoist temples never interacted with each other, Jingxin had never seen Ming Xiu, and Ming Xiu had never seen Jingxin. The masters of the two palace temples were as powerful as water and fire, but they would not fight openly.
Zhao Qingshan used to collect debts, but he brought the debtor back to Jinsha Temple directly... Jingxin Taoist nun was stunned for a moment, then turned dark and asked Mingxiu, "What are you doing?"
Ming Xiu subconsciously looked at Zhao Qingshan standing beside him, and wanted to know what he was here to do. Since he borrowed the 800 yuan many years ago and had a conflict with the Jinsha Temple, Ming Xiu never thought that one day he would appear in the Jinsha Temple!
Seeing Mingxiu's face full of embarrassment and didn't know how to speak, Zhao Qingshan, as an intermediary, smiled from the side and said, "Fellow Taoist Jingxin, don't be angry. It was because I brought fellow Taoist Mingxiu back... For the 800 yuan thirteen years ago, don't you think it's a bit unworthy?"
Jingxin and Mingxiu both wanted to speak for themselves, but Zhao Qingshan did not give them a chance to speak. He raised his hand and continued, "Whether the Golden Sand Temple or the Eight Immortals Palace of Wanshou, they are all my Taoist palaces. The so-called origins are from the same root, so why are you too anxious to fight each other? Why don't you sit down and talk calmly?"|
The conflict between the Jinsha Temple and the Eight Immortals Palace of Wanshou has been around for a long time. Even if Zhao Qingshan mediates it now, the contradiction is obviously not so easy to resolve. Jingxin gritted her teeth, looked at Zhao Qingshan, and glanced at Ming Xiu again. He said, "I have nothing to say to him!"
"What I, Taoist people, pay attention to is quiet and inaction. Can a mere 800 yuan cause such trouble? Do not lose the spirit in your heart. The visitor is a guest. Talk about it calmly will benefit everyone." Zhao Qingshan said: "Does Mingxiu have anything to say about this 800 yuan?"
"This..." Ming Xiu hesitated. With Jingxin's cold eyes, he smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it... Such an ugly thing. I didn't plan to mention it to anyone again, but since there was a real person present today, I would also speak out boldly."
Taking a deep breath, Ming Xiu looked at Jingxin and said, "Twelve years ago, a group of underworld gangs that collected protection fees appeared in this area, including the Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace, and Jingxin Taoist Nun Jinsha Temple, they were all targeted by them. They would pour a pot of chicken blood on the door every now and then, and threatened that if they did not hand over, they would set fire to the temple."
"At that time, this group of people was arrogant and became king in this area. The people dared not speak out. Seeing that they were really unreasonable, I found them to argue, but unexpectedly they were beaten up by this group of people, and the protection fee increased from the original five hundred yuan to one thousand yuan."
At this point, Ming Xiu paused, then looked at Zhao Qingshan with a wry smile and said, "I want to delay for another two days, but the gate was set on fire that night. I was really helpless. As the master of the Eight Immortals Palace in Wanshou, I lowered my head to these hooligans and paid a thousand yuan protection fee the next day."
"I thought the matter would end here, but who would have thought that the next afternoon, the news came that Jingxin Taoist nun used incense ash to splash people. That group of people is not a good person. With the Jinsha Temple, two female Taoist nuns, one big and one small, can withstand the threat of this group of people?"
"It happened that at that time, I remembered the 800 yuan that Jingxin Taoist nun lent to me. After hesitating for a while, I found the group of people and paid 800 yuan of protection for Jinsha Temple, so I saved Jinsha Temple... But who would have thought that Jingxin Taoist nun not only did not appreciate it, but also wanted to frame me for collusion with that group of people... I was so angry that I scolded Jingxin Taoist nun. From that time on, we have..."
Ming Xiu couldn't continue to say it anymore. This was probably the case. He was a good person to block the disaster for the Jinsha Temple, but he didn't appreciate it and even had to frame him and continue to collect debts. He felt that he was the victim.
After hearing Ming Xiu's words, Zhao Qingshan looked at Jingxin's Taoist nun and asked, "Does Jingxin agree with what Ming Xiu said before?"
"He is simply nonsense!" Jingxin was furious when she heard it aside. If it weren't for fear of Zhao Qingshan being by her side, she would have left a bad impression on Zhao Qingshan. Jingxin would have spoken to interrupt Ming Xiu. At this moment, she burst out without a doubt when she heard Zhao Qingshan's inquiry.
He pointed at Ming Xiu and said in a quiet voice: "As a Taoist, how can you bow your head to those hooligans easily? It's okay if you are timid. When did I ask you to pay that damn protection fee for my Jinsha Temple? A person like you is the master of the One View!!"
Well, things began to become clear... Ming Xiu paid 800 yuan out of kindness, but he encountered Jingxin's stubborn temper. He said he would not give in. Ming Xiu's kindness actually did something bad.
Zhao Qingshan smiled and said, "The two fellow Taoists have their own reasons. I will say justice. Putting aside the issue of right and wrong, at least the starting point of this work by Taoist Mingxiu is to make the best of Jinsha Temple... At the same time, fellow Taoist Jingxin's idea is also correct. People in my Taoist sect should not bow their heads to these people easily!"
It seemed like he was saying something nutritious, but then Zhao Qingshan said: "It's just a matter of 800 yuan. If any party is willing to relax his mind and not be petty about this matter, it is believed that the relationship between the Jinsha Temple and the Eight Immortals Palace of Wanshou will not have fallen into such a state. In the final analysis, the practice of the two fellow Taoists is not even home!!"
"I..." Jingxin and Ming Xiu were stunned at the same time. Zhao Qingshan made such an evaluation. Both of them were a little confused, but after a brief hesitation, they had to admit that Zhao Qingshan was right.
This was originally just a trivial matter, but because both sides believed that they were the commanding heights of the truth, no one was willing to give in even a half-step, this led to the loss of control of the matter.
At the same time, Jingxin and Mingxiu both showed a embarrassed expression on their faces. Zhao Qingshan looked at it funny and raised his hand and said, "I have no intention of blaming the two fellow Taoists. I just want to say that practicing Taoism is a matter of relaxing my mind and forgiveing others and self-reliance. If you cannot do it, even if you are wearing a Taoist robe and holding a certificate of dignity, you are just a commoner in the world and are not worthy of being a Taoist person at all!"
In a tone of lessons, Zhao Qingshan said: "In this way, who will take a step back and resolve this grudge will be a merit?"
This time, whether Jingxin or Mingxiu was said, his face was flushed. Mingxiu said to Jingxin: "Jingxindao... Fellow Taoist, I didn't do the things carefully before, I am deeply sorry here... After I look back, I will personally get the eight hundred yuan and return it to Jingxin. I hope that fellow Taoist can understand more."
Ming Xiu regressed, how could Jingxin have no reaction? If he accepted the 800 yuan in front of Zhao Qingshan, he would not lose face, and he might even leave Zhao Qingshan with the impression of being greedy for money!
Jingxin hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Mingxiu Taoist is so serious. Let the things that happened back then dissipate with the wind. From now on, Jinsha Temple and Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace should work together to advance and retreat..."
In fact, these contradictions are not contradictory at all. As long as any party makes a step back, the sky will be wide open. It’s just that people in the secular world often force themselves into the horns for some trivial matters.
Seeing that the conflict between Jingxin and Ming Xiu had been resolved, Zhao Qingshan also showed a faint smile on his face. He nodded and said, "It's so great, everything is the most important thing, two fellow Taoists need to remember it!"
Hearing Zhao Qingshan's words, Jingxin and Ming Xiu looked at each other, turned around and bowed slightly to Zhao Qingshan, "Thank you for your guidance, we will remember it in our hearts!"
The Jinsha Temple and the Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace were renovated. Zhao Qingshan couldn't get involved in the next thing. He just watched Jingxin and Ming Xiu talk with smiles on the side, and decided to hold a banquet at the Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace tonight, to celebrate the renovation of the two palaces, and to the second, even if it was to welcome Zhao Qingshan and his disciples.
For a whole day, Zhao Qingshan studied the first half of the "The Supreme Wonderful Method of Transcending Xuan Life and Death to Transcend All Realms" in the Jinsha Temple. Until after five o'clock in the evening, a young Taoist priest arrived at the Jinsha Temple.
"Good afternoon for all Taoists, my Taoist Master Ming Xiu Zhenren invites you to the Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace to attend the dinner. Please..." The young Taoist priest obviously received guidance, and his words and expressions were quite respectful.
Zhao Qingshan and others naturally would not refuse. After agreeing happily, they locked the gate of Jinsha Temple and rushed to Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace six miles away to attend to tonight's banquet.
However, Zhao Qingshan and others who were walking towards Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace on the way did not know that less than two minutes after they left Jinsha Temple, in the dark night, a middle-aged man in his thirties stumbled from the alley with his chest covered his chest.
Stopped at the entrance of the Jinsha Temple for a moment, he looked back at the alley behind with a panic expression. After gritting his teeth, he climbed up to the wall and turned over and entered the Jinsha Temple.
Less than half a minute after the middle-aged man escaped into the Golden Sands View, a dense sound of footsteps came from the dark alley. At least ten young and middle-aged men ran out of the alley. One of them stood in the front of the team, narrowed his eyes and glanced around in a sinister manner, and said, "I'll go look for them separately. Damn, I don't believe that I can still let this grandson run away! I've found them carefully, and I'm not allowed to let them go in any corner!"
"I understand, Brother De!"
