Chapter 61
Chapter 61
Xie Qiuhan searched and searched, found the three people in the roster, and fixed his eyes on the male disciple's name.
The worries in his heart were gone now, it turned out that this disciple had a very good background, and some magic weapons that were easy to use were also normal.
Feeling so moved by the brotherly relationship between teachers and brothers, Xie Qiuhan thought about it, and in the end, not only did he not mark the three disciples as skipping class, but he also helped them mark their attendance.
After uncovering this little episode, the three of them went to the main meeting hall together and took their seats.
Xie Qiuhan looked at the bamboo slip carefully.
Yunfang once ordered Nie Mingyuan to decipher the records on the Dao of Love, and Nie Mingyuan would hand it over as soon as he made progress. Now what he has in his hands is the complete practice stage of the Dao of Love.
Xie Qiuhan read it carefully.
This booklet says that there are several stages in the Dao of sentient beings: Jindan, Yuanying, distraction, cave, Mahayana, and crossing the catastrophe.
The sea of consciousness in the dantian will change with different realms. First, the golden elixir will be formed, and then the golden elixir will produce a baby, which will form a rosette.
This program is very different from the way of monks today.
Usually monks practice, there are only four major stages of gasification, distraction, void, and ascension.
In different stages, true qi irrigates the meridians and the sea of consciousness, and the sea of consciousness keeps growing, and finally breaks through the void and ascends through the tribulation, which is not as famous as Xie Qiuhan at all.
Although there are three thousand ways of swords, calligraphy, painting, speech, etc. in the world, everyone cultivates in the same way.
But looking at it this way, Xie Qiuhan didn't go that way at all.
Xie Qiuhan looked at it for a while, then put away the bamboo slips with a natural expression, and did not forget to thank Mr. Nie politely.
After receiving this gift, Mr. Nie said with a smile: "You are really calm now, and nothing happens when you see anything."
Xie Qiuhan smiled: "Let's go and see, it's no big deal."
Nie Mingyuan nodded approvingly, and took another magical storage artifact from his sleeve to Xie Qiuhan, "This month's book."
"Thank you, sir." Xie Qiuhan took it, and handed a stack of papers to Nie Mingyuan with both hands, "These are some doubts in the book I read last month. Please ask sir to answer them for me."
Nie Mingyuan pinched the stack of papers, and it was thicker than before.
The more you read the book, the thicker it is, and the more you think about it, which is a good thing.
Nie Mingyuan brings some books to Xie Qiuhan every month, covering astronomy and geography, anecdotes, emperor's mind skills, Tai Chi hexagrams, etc., covering a wide range of subjects, some are antiques left by Zhizhimen, and some are his own daily experiences and thoughts, whenever he has time Write it down and send it to the Immortal Pavilion.
In the beginning, I was just trying to test the depth of the young man, because there were always back and forth, and I also got a lot of enlightenment, and then I got serious and set the rules of monthly exchanges, as if teaching him as a successor.
The two asked and answered the questions written by Xie Qiuhan, and Yun Fang also joined the discussion.
During the chat, the sun was setting and the bells were tinkling before they knew it, and the three of them remembered the time.
Xie Qiuhan rubbed his head, feeling like he had forgotten something.
At this time, he saw a few fairies wandering outside the door, looking a little anxious.
Xie Qiuhan said to himself: That's bad.
Seeing that they were finally about to stop and rest, those fairy boys pushed out a bold one to speak.
This brave man didn't even have the guts to go there, so he came in and bowed politely.
Yun Fang: "Where did you learn this? What are you doing with such a great gift?"
Xie Qiuhan said in a low voice: "It's not our fairy boy, someone else's."
"Several major sects sent people over and delivered messages. I forgot. I will go there first."
As he spoke, he got up in a hurry, helped a few fairies, and led them out quickly.
Seeing him walking in a hurry, Nie Mingyuan asked Yunfang, "Who is visiting?"
Unexpectedly, Yunfang didn't know what to ask.
He is also thinking, what sect is it?How come he, Xian Zuo, becomes more and more incomprehensible.
He lowered his head to look through a pile of messages in the jade talisman. There were many unopened letters stacked there, all of which were handed over to Xie Qiuhan for processing.
Xie Qiuhan is a good senior brother, and nowadays many people know that they can just pass on to him if they have something to do, but it is not reliable to find Xianzuo.
Yun Fang "choosed one in a hundred" to pull out a copy from the letter, and only then did he realize which grandson had found it: the Gu and Xie families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Fang City Lord of the Qingyang Sect in the south of the Lingnan River.
When he saw the names of these sects, he couldn't help frowning as if he saw a few living creatures in trouble.
Nie Mingyuan caught a glimpse from the side, was stunned for a moment, and said: "Sure enough, I was really in a hurry, my hands and feet are so fast, I have come to find Xianzuo."
Yun Fang read the letter at a glance, and thought about it, and asked, "What new method did Zhou Hong come up with to torment them?"
Nie Mingyuan said: "The day before yesterday, Xiang Chong handed over the subfolder and asked for public land policy discussion. The regent was overjoyed to see it, and sent it to the court officials for a closer look, so that they can give their opinions."
It is impossible to have opinions. Zhou Hong erected a scarecrow in human skin in front of the palace. Anyone who dared to open their mouths in the court, who opposed the New Deal, and who despised the majesty of the emperor, was waiting to be skinned and sent there. Scarecrow on set.
Yun Fang raised his eyebrows: "Public land?"
"A few years ago when Zhou Hong first entered Beijing, he mentioned that the land would be taken into public ownership and re-divided according to the head of the population. Every year, the harvest would go to the government, and the people would only receive rations from the government. Regardless of whether the harvest is good or bad, drought or flood, the people will have enough to eat. eat."
"Oh, this matter," Yun Fang rubbed his hands for a while, "Why did you bring it up again, this Xiang Chong..."
When the theory of public land was first put forward, it won a lot of popular support from the imperial court, and also swept away many potential disasters for Zhou Hong, who took power.
But this policy was not implemented in the end, Zhou Hong pressed the booklet in the palace, and the appetite of the people was over.
The people were naturally dissatisfied, but Zhou Hong himself kept his mouth shut, no matter what the people's opinion was, he would not mention this matter at all.
But for some reason, there is a saying among the people: Dijing is very eager to issue a public land policy, and the reason why the public land died halfway is entirely because of the opposition of the immortal sect.
On the original fields, the government paid the tax once, and the fairy gate paid the tax once. If it becomes a public land, the tax will not be shared by the fairy gate.
However, the Immortal Sect is still cleared up and down. In the past few years, Yunfang has taken actions to intercept the flooded Yellow River, begged for rain for the dry land a few times, and beheaded several bully monks on the way. The Immortal Sect is more respected by the people, so This rumor is not too fermented.
Now hearing that Zhou Hong brought up the old matter again, Lingnan Qingzong immediately came to him in a hurry, Yun Fang couldn't help but sighed, "Fang Chengjing didn't say anything about this stick, he sent it up by himself, and still looked for me. went."
Nie Mingyuan also has a personal relationship with City Lord Fang, and he defended him out of friendship: "If public land is really promoted, City Lord Fang is not unfounded to worry about."
"Oh?" Yun Fang said, "Will it really be implemented?"
Nie Mingyuan was at a loss for words when asked.
Yun Fang said: "Who will farm the fields without drought or flood? His surname is Zhou."
If you really are all staring at the government to distribute rations, it doesn't matter if you grow more or less, people will always be lazy.
Even if you are not lazy, seeing other people doing nothing, but you are dripping with sweat every day, you will inevitably feel sour in your heart, and you will not want to work after going back and forth.
In such a cycle, in a few years, the harvest will definitely not be as good as half of what it is now.
The famine at that time will not be a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. The pot will be on his head, Zhou Hong, and he will never escape.
Zhou Hong himself knew this in his heart, so he never mentioned it. Now that he mentions it again, it is probably because the drunken man does not care about drinking, but cares about playing tricks on the immortal sect.
Yun Fang was very calm, so he didn't want to be a gunman for the stick.
Seeing that he understood very well, Nie Mingyuan settled down and considered that he had completed the task of returning to Zixiao Mountain.
At this time, Yun Fang suddenly said: "That's right."
Nie Mingyuan was vigilant: what?
Yun Fang: "Speaking of farming, my family Xiao Qiuhan has recently planted half an acre of vegetable land. Come and share some later, we can't finish it."
Nie Mingyuan was speechless, got up and said: "Later. I'll call Qiu Han back, he doesn't know the trick, don't be led into the ditch by City Lord Fang."
"No need," Yun Bin waved his hands lazily, "Don't underestimate our senior brother, he can handle it."
There is a bit of ridicule in the sentence "big brother" and the intimacy that others can't match, Nie Mingyuan can't help but think of the "fairy companion" mentioned by several disciples.
Thinking of this, he sat down again and asked sincerely, "Xianzuo, did you watch birds in the morning?"
Yunfang: "?"
"Would you like to enjoy the flowers at night?"
Yun Fang was puzzled, "Occasionally, why?"
"Then why didn't you do the teacher's ceremony with Qiu Han for so long..." Nie Mingyuan said euphemistically, "Do you have other plans?"
"Oh, this," Yun Fang said, "Since you brought it up, I have something to tell you. I've thought about it for a long time before I made up my mind. Just listen."
Nie Mingyuan pressed the wind and clouds in his heart, "Huh? Tell me."
Yun Fang thought about it for a while, and said: "I don't have the status of master and apprentice with him now, so it just doesn't prevent you from accepting him as an apprentice and leading him to the beginning. I don't think he really cares much about learning fighting and killing moves from me. But he has read all the books you gave him."
Nie Mingyuan was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that he was going to say this.
"Can't you teach?"
"It's not impossible," Yun Fang rubbed his nose, "It's just that I'm soft-hearted towards him. You can't teach him how dangerous the human heart is. You can't teach him what kind of conspiracies and schemes you have to rely on."
Nie Mingyuan really didn't know whether he was praising himself or belittling himself.
Is there anyone who asks for help?
Thinking of this, he smiled again, feeling that this kind of love and protection did not seem to come from the person in front of him at all.
What kind of person is Yunfang?
When they first met in the early years, Yunfang was the most outstanding young disciple of Zixiao Mountain. He was extremely talented. He was supported by a teacher and could do the most arrogant and willful things. He was envied by the monks in the entire Kyushu. Everyone thought: That second disciple of Taixuan Palace is really lucky.
He walks the world with his sword, unrestrained and happy, with a smile on his grievances, his wine is intoxicating wine, his sword is a sword that seizes the day and night, he steps on the turbulent rivers and lakes, stepping on the wind And the top of the waves, come and go freely, no one can touch a piece of his clothes.
The female monks of the fairy gate admired him endlessly, and the charming children of the official family secretly admired him. The bold prostitute threw hundreds of carts of flower and fruit handkerchiefs at him, but none of them touched him. In the end, he could only secretly grab the handkerchief , Tears scolded Yun Lang for being ruthless.
Yun Lang was ruthless, and became the best appetizer on the Qinhuai River. He sang and danced gracefully, and in a gauze dress with water sleeves, accompanied by the tears of the singing girl, he dripped into the long river of makeup and powder.
But if they saw Yun Lang today, they probably wouldn't be able to use the word "ruthless" again.
It's a pity that Yingying Yanyan in the century-old Yunyan, no one came up with such a good way to use children to trap him.
Nie Mingyuan smiled and said: "If I teach him, I may have to take him away for a while, can Xianzuo be willing?"
Yun Fang had expected it a long time ago, so he just said: "Just don't toss too hard."
"Then why do you push him so hard?" Nie Mingyuan asked back, "Why do you have to suffer so much? Isn't it good for him to grow up by himself?"
"I would like to," Yun Bin patted the empty seat beside him, "but he wants to sit here."
The stinky boy is not willing to have fun under his knees, and wants to sit next to him, otherwise he will make troubles.
Could he still push him back?
Seeing Yunfang's expression, Nie Mingyuan couldn't help but said, "What about him when he grows up, how will you deal with him in the future?"
After listening to him asking questions one after another, Yun Fang finally realized that something was wrong.
He looked Nie Mingyuan up and down, and asked inexplicably, "Which one are you acting for me?"
Ming people don't speak in secret, so Nie Mingyuan imitated him, patted the seat, and said, "Looking at your side, there is actually only one empty seat for a Taoist companion."
Yun Fang laughed and cursed, took the bamboo slips and shook Nie Mingyuan's face, "You're still making fun of me!"
Nie Mingyuan took the bamboo slips, and it didn't hurt to smash them. If he said such a "rebellious", it was so worth it to be smashed like this.
He knew he wasn't happy yet, so he heard Yun Fang say: "You are single, and you are still talking about me, I don't want to find a Taoist companion, it will be very troublesome, why, who urged you?"
Nie Mingyuan smiled.
"No, I'm just talking casually."
It turned out that he was joking and didn't think about Xie Qiuhan at all.
Yunfang said: "Speaking of which, when I just returned to the mountain five years ago, Qingbi actually told me what happened to me and Xiao Qiuhan, but she became more and more confused. I am afraid that in a few years, she should be cleansed of the mundane soaring. Do you want to see her this time?"
"No need," Nie Mingyuan said, "Ascension is fine."
Yun Fang sighed, "Sir is also an infatuated person."
The reason why Nie Mingyuan owes him kindness is because he saved Qingbi, so he has to be driven by him for a hundred years.
From this point of view, the affairs of the world are really overwhelming.
Yun Fang couldn't help but look at Nie Mingyuan with complicated eyes, thinking that he and his senior brother are the same kind of hard-working people.
Nie Mingyuan: "..."
Nie Mingyuan saw that this guy actually commented on his past in a decent way, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.
What kind of brain do you have, Xianzu! ?
You can't even understand a simple reminder, what face do you have to judge me?
Nie Mingyuan really convinced him in this matter.
A long time ago, when seeing Xie Qiuhan for the first time, Nie Mingyuan said: This son is not something in the pond, and asked Yunfang to push Xie Qiuhan into his door of knowledge.
Yun Fang didn't believe it, and even scolded him for kidnapping.
But just now Xianzuo said "I've been thinking about it for a long time", and if he wanted Xie Qiuhan to join him, he obviously forgot what he said many years ago.
Now, when he talked about the Taoist couple again, Xian Zuo didn't even understand at all, and talked about other things!
The authorities are not so obsessed!
Nie Mingyuan really bowed down to him, waved his hands weakly, and stopped mentioning these things.
Yun Fang only felt that he had been mentioned to his sweetheart, and his heart was sore, and he didn't want to talk too much, so he decided to stop talking too much, and felt even more sympathetic to Mr. Nie.
The two chatted here, and the chat reached a dead end, and they had nothing to say to each other.
Yun Fang stood up and led Nie Mingyuan out of the hall, wanting to show him off the half-acre vegetable field in front of his pavilion.
As soon as they left the main hall, they bumped into two female disciples rushing over, "Xian Zuo, Xian Zuo, please save junior brother!"
These two female disciples were exactly what they had seen when they came.
At the same time, the jade talisman in Yunfang's sleeve flashed again. This was not for him to read the official document, but for private communication.
He looked down and saw that it was Xiao Qiuhan's message.
The jade talisman flickered, coupled with the anxious tone of the female disciple, it made people feel that the situation was unusual.
