Chapter 191: Unwarranted Discussion

Because of this incident, Yao Pei and Qi Xuansu stayed in the county town for one more day. Yao Pei went to the local Taoist temple and carefully questioned other people in the Taoist temple. These people had never seen a big man like Yao Pei. They were questioned separately and soon gave up the truth.

What Long Leshan said was true.

Over the years, the temple master Wu Yonggui did imprison many good women in the Taoist temple. There were still four alive, and two died for unknown reasons and were buried behind the Taoist temple.

Yao Pei met the four women and found that they were all dressed as nuns. He also asked people to dig out the two bodies. After the autopsy, it was found that they died of yin loss.

It can be seen that this Wu temple master was not just for lust, but also practiced the method of collecting yin to replenish yang.

From the most simple moral point of view, his death was not unjust.

This is probably the reason why Yao Pei did not personally chase Long Leshan.

When the fourth-grade Taoist priest sent by the Qinzhou Daofu arrived with the spiritual official, he saw such a scene.

His first reaction was to suppress the matter.

However, after learning about Yao Pei's identity, this fourth-rank priest felt a little weak.

Although he was also a fourth-rank priest, Yao Pei was regarded as the candidate for the future chief master. The key was that Qinzhou belonged to the territory of Quanzhen Dao. Yao Pei was the grandson of the Earth Master and the descendant of Donghua Zhenren. Not to mention that he was a small fourth-rank priest, even if the head of a state of Quanzhen Dao came, he would not show his face to Yao Pei.

This fourth-rank priest was naturally submissive. He was still a master before entering the door, but became a grandson after entering the door. Whatever Yao Pei said was what he said, without any objection. ..

Qi Xuansu had seen the prestige of the future leader of Quanzhen Dao. In this regard, Zhang Yuelu suffered a lot. Without the support of the Zhang family, she was only recently designated as the descendant by Cihang Zhenren, so her rank was higher, but in terms of the power she could call on, she was not as good as Yao Pei, and Yao Pei was slightly inferior to Li Changge.

From this point of view, if Zhang Yuelu wants to stand out, she can only rely on herself. Behind the reputation of "willing to work", there is more helplessness.

Yao Pei doesn't like to do things personally, and she has no interest in being a judge in front of people. She just told this person to do all the aftermath matters, compensate if necessary, and properly place the women who were harmed. Considering their reputation and other issues, the two dead women should be buried well, preferably to return to their roots, and punish if necessary, distinguish the main and the accomplices, and those who know but do not report should also be punished for the crime of harboring. In addition, a sea arrest warrant was issued to arrest Long Leshan, the murderer who killed Wu Yonggui. After she returned to Wanshou Chongyang Palace, she would ask about the specific results of this matter.

The fourth-grade Taoist priest naturally did not dare to be negligent, and even took a pen and paper. Yao Pei said a sentence, and he wrote a sentence, and wrote several pages densely.

After explaining these, Yao Pei and Qi Xuansu left this place.

After leaving the jurisdiction of Xijing Prefecture, they entered the scope of Difei Mountain, and Wanshou Chongyang Palace was in sight.

Yao Pei did not have a specific position, but was under the name of Wanshou Chongyang Palace, which was why she went to Wanshou Chongyang Palace.

As the former vice capital of Taoism, Difei Mountain is extremely large, and flying is prohibited without permission.

Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei had to lower their bodies and climb the mountain on foot.

In fact, when they arrived here, Qi Xuansu should say goodbye to Yao Pei, but considering that Xu Xiaoying and Pei Xiaolou were both in Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and the two helped Qi Xuansu with Yue Liuli and Pan Cuiqing, Qi Xuansu couldn't just leave, so he still had to visit and express his gratitude.

There is more than one road to Wanshou Chongyang Palace. In addition to the main road, which road to choose to climb the mountain depends mainly on where to go. Last time, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were going to Yuzhen Temple where Xu Xiaoying was, and this time they were going to Taiping Temple of Pei Xiaolou, so Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei took another road.

Taiping Temple and Taiyi Temple once belonged to Taiping Dao, but because Difei Mountain was once the vice capital of Daoism and the place where the Grand Master of Daoism lived, the three Daoisms naturally had to set up corresponding Taoist temples here for the Grand Master of Daoism to live when the Grand Master of Daoism went to the vice capital. Later, Daoism abolished the vice capital, and Taiping Temple and Taiyi Temple were returned to Quanzhen Dao, but Quanzhen Dao still retained the old name.

Halfway through the journey, there was a pavilion for seeing off guests, and many nuns were seen surrounding a young Taoist priest.

This young Taoist priest was about the same age as Qi Xuansu, and he did not wear a formal crane cloak, but a casual Taoist robe. Although the crane cloak was flowing, it was too wide, covering all the body features, even to the extent of eliminating gender, and this casual Taoist robe was very slim and appropriate, which could fully show the body curve. Both men and women were very fond of this kind of clothing and often regarded it as a substitute for the crane cloak. However, the older generation who had experienced the era of the five great masters did not like this kind of clothing, thinking it was too frivolous and lacking in solemnity, and they were very resistant. In addition, the young man did not wear a crown, but tied his hair with a jade hairpin, and it was unknown what level of Taoist he was.

The surrounding female Taoist priests also wore this kind of slim Taoist robes, showing their graceful figures, which was in line with the poem: "The body of a beautiful woman in her twenties is like butter, and a sharp sword hangs from her waist to kill foolish men."

The female Taoist priests surrounded the young man, talking in sweet voices. Although there was nothing too outrageous, at most they touched the temples, pushed shoulders, and hugged arms, but no one would think that the relationship between these men and women was innocent.

Seeing this scene, Qi Xuansu said, "It seems that the atmosphere of Quanzhen Taoism is not very good."

Yao Pei said expressionlessly: "When Xu Zu was discussing Taoism with Xuansheng, Xu Zu said: 'I was born in a family of Zhong Ming Ding Shi, and I have been accustomed to temple disputes since I was a child. As I grew older, I also traveled in the world. What we see and hear, whether it is a temple or a river or a lake, it can be said that its rise is rapid and its demise is sudden. Nothing new.”

Qi Xuansu sighed: "It's a good time when there is nothing new in the world."

Yao Pei continued: "Xu Zu also said that at the beginning of the Qingming Dynasty, the officials did not do anything without care, and no one did not work hard, because it was difficult and difficult at that time, and they could only find a life from thousands of deaths. Since then, things have gradually improved, and the court is stable. As time goes on, laziness gradually develops, the minority becomes the majority, and then laziness becomes the trend. Although there is great effort, it cannot be reversed and it is difficult to remedy. The party is driven by the desire for achievement, and the party is united and opposed. When the talents are gradually exhausted and it is difficult to cope with it, The situation has become complicated. In the annals of history, there are also cases of "government failure", "people's death and political failure", and there are also cases of "seeking honor and humiliation". In short, there is nothing new in that sentence, and the people of Qin have no time to mourn themselves. Later generations mourned, and future generations mourned without taking note of it, which also caused future generations to mourn for future generations. "

Qi Xuansu became more and more emotional: "It turns out that the founders had long expected what would happen today. I'm afraid it's not just laziness when laziness becomes common. As for being driven by the desire for achievement, party members are united and opposed by different parties. It means that the three paths are currently at war. I don't know what we are doing. Will we see the day when our talents gradually become exhausted and it becomes difficult to cope with it?”

Yao Pei said: "Although Taoist friend Qingxiao and I are not on the same page, we have a consensus on this point. Something must change. If we don't change, we will really fulfill the prophecies of the ancestors. In fact, whether it is a Taoist sect or a Confucian sect in those days, it cannot be killed by external enemies. It must be that it is rotten and rotten on the inside before it collapses. "

Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought.

What he saw, heard and felt along the way, from Fengtai County to Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei's words and deeds, he couldn't help but think about.

A true man stands between heaven and earth. Not to mention carrying the three-foot sword to achieve immortal achievements, is he just seeking stability?

The two people spoke without shying away from others. Although their voices were not loud, a few words still reached the ears of the young Taoist priest. He couldn't help but frown slightly and raised his eyes to look at the two people.

Yao Pei has a great reputation, but because she lives in seclusion, few people recognize her. In addition, she looks like she has not woken up at this time, and her eyes are dull. She is far less radiant than Zhang Yuelu, and it is difficult for people to recognize her. Connect this listless woman with the legendary Yao Pei.

The young Taoist priest snorted coldly: "What a loud tone. Who are you, how dare you talk about Taoism!?"

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be startled when he heard the words, and then laughed and said: "Are you still going to be punished for your words?"
