After climbing out of the coffin, Wang Chen realized that the place he was in was not a serious Taoist temple. In fact, this was a Yizhuang, which is also a place where corpses are mortuary. Generally, when foreigners and unidentified corpses are found, they will stop in Yizhuang Inside, they are waiting for someone to take them to the ground to rest in peace. Out of the Chinese idea that the dead are the greatest, such yizhuang are generally donated by large households in the countryside.
In years without natural disasters, there is still a touch of warmth in the Chinese countryside.
And the two Taoist priests, the old and the young, are wild Taoist priests at all. The Taoist priests in the Ming Dynasty had a high status, but they had to have official certificates, so they couldn't fall into this unlucky Yizhuang.
The living standard of the old Taoist priest is not bad, which can be seen from the fact that the tea he brought to Wang Chen was new tea from that year, but Wang Chen has no habit of casually drinking what others handed him in an unfamiliar environment, so he Putting the tea beside him with a smile, he kept talking to the old Taoist priest and told him some useful news, but he didn't even touch the tea.
The two chatted for a while, and Wang Chen could see that the old Taoist was fidgeting. After a little brainstorming, he thought of the voices in the living room that he thought were talking in sleep, and suddenly realized.
This old man is preparing to flee for his life!
The old Taoist seemed to have seen what Wang Chen meant, so he stopped trying to hide it immediately, and said with a wry smile: "Young Master, you are laughing at me! We are a widow and master, and we have offended the other courtyard of the Shangqing Palace on the Phoenix Mountain near the left. How dare we stay there?" If we stay any longer, Pindao is ready to flee with his disciples. After entertaining the young master, Pindao will set off immediately... there will be no delay!"
Wang Chen smiled, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "The Taoist priest and Lingtu are alone, and they are not afraid of the great success of the Shangqing palace family, but I don't know something, please ask the Taoist priest to explain it to me." The old Taoist raised his hand Said: "Young master, please!"
Wang Chen went straight to the point: "The Taoist priest can go, but I can't leave the 'coffin' because I slept too much. Even if the Taoist priest wants to bury it, he still has to ask me if I agree, but if I take that coffin, I'm sure it will The Taoist priest may not be reconciled either. Where can the Taoist priest escape to with that coffin here?"
Master Gong, an old Taoist, laughed wryly when he heard the words, and confessed: "My lord, forgive me, this strange coffin is naturally your lord's property. When I went down to Maoshan Jiugong Patriarch to get the coffin, your lord was lying in it. To Shangqing Palace , I can say that this treasure belongs to me from Maoshan Mountain, but I absolutely dare not say that to the young master.”
"But..." Master Gong said unwillingly: "After all, this is the relic of the patriarch. The lapel of my Xiamaoshan, and the inheritance of my descending Maoshan are all tied to this thing. Taoism and magic power all come from this treasure. Let me Handing over the patriarch's relics like this... I am not reconciled either!"
Seeing the sincerity of the teacher's words, Wang Chen felt a little more confident in his heart. He had already figured it out just now. The relationship between him and this life support warehouse must not be known to others. Then watch him climb out of the coffin. The master and apprentice here are the two people who know his secrets the most, and they must not be allowed to tell the secret. Fortunately, for the master and apprentice, this survival storehouse is also an extremely important secret.
Killing the master and the apprentice, not to mention whether Wang Chen couldn't bear to do it, even in terms of strategy, he fell into the lower class.
The best way, of course, is to convince the master and the apprentice, Wang Chen immediately said: "This is because the Daoist leader can't make up his mind... But I have an immature idea. This 'coffin' is naturally my choice." But when you go down to Maoshan, you do have a destiny with it... What do you think of it? What you pay attention to when you go down to Maoshan is probably the 'Dharma' learned from this coffin."
"No one knows more about the secret of this coffin than I do!"
"You may as well explain to me the origin and flow of your family's Taoism one by one. As for the key point, I will re-deduce your family's inherited Taoism, and then you will get the lost Taoism, and you will no longer need this inheritance. ... You don't want to fight with my master!" Wang Chen asked in a joking manner.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The teacher Gongxia bowed: "Young master is willing to allow us to understand the treasure coffin, it is a great kindness to us. How dare Xiaodao give in without knowing it, and covet the treasure of the young master!"
But Master Gong is old and cunning, so he took advantage of the opportunity to make a request: "I have passed down the Maoshan dharma lineage, which is actually passed down to the treasure of the young master. The young master has half the teacher's kindness to us. Thinking about it, the young master has no sect. If you don't If you dislike me for going down to Maoshan, it is better to join my lineage, and we will respect you as our patriarch, and rank with Jiugong Patriarch, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
"This..." Wang Chen didn't expect that someone would be so shameless, so he hit the snake with a stick and clung to it!
But think about it, this is really the best of both worlds, anyway, Wang Chen doesn't care about a name, and since he joined Xia Maoshan, his seniority is much higher than that old Taoist priest, so it's only natural to know the Taoism of Xia Maoshan!
For things like Daoism, Wang Chen is really curious as if he has a kitten in his stomach. It is completely in line with his wishes to be a senior patriarch. In this way, the two Taoist priests who knew his greatest secret could be subdued in a legitimate way, and he could have a name to test the world that inherits Taoism.
Seeing that Wang Chen had no objection, the teacher paid homage to him again: "Your Highness, if you are willing to join me in Xiamao Mountain, the position of Suzerain will naturally be taken by you. Although Xiamao Mountain is down and down, there are still many Dharma lines circulating outside. There are dozens of heretics in the side door, all of whom have incense and fire. If the young master can revive the thirteen corpses, the six ghosts, and the twenty-nine miscellaneous ways in Maoshan Mountain to inherit the Taoism, so that the dharma lines that have been wandering outside can be attached, then Young Master raises his arms and shouts, followers will surely gather, and re-establish the orthodoxy of the first sect of the sects in the three southeastern provinces under my leadership in Maoshan Mountain!"
"At that time, the young patriarch's virtue to me in Maoshan was as high as the sky and the earth. The master worshiped him with death!"
Hearing what he said, Wang Chen was moved. Although heresy doesn't sound so nice, Xiamao Mountain used to be the No. 1 sect in Ming Dynasty. His ancestors were richer than him, which helped him a lot.
In fact, what happened to Shichang Gong who really used this to impress Wang Chen's god? Immortals also need disciples and grandchildren to serve them, so don't immortals need to be enshrined
Wang Chen sat upright and said: "This is a way to get the best of both worlds. If you sincerely regard me as the patriarch, I will treat you sincerely, but if you just want to find a pretense and use me as a puppet... accept this idea as soon as possible!"
"Sincerely, I sincerely invite you!" The teacher Gong pushed under Wang Chen's seat, knelt down and kowtowed his head immediately, and said, "The disciples and grandchildren will invite the patriarch to look at him, and welcome the young patriarch to enter my Dharma vein in Xiamao Mountain. Please respect my Jiugong patriarch as a respectful person." Brother!"
Wang Chen knew that who was the senior brother between himself and Jiugong was the dispute over Zhengshuo in Xiamao Mountain. Although he didn't care, he still had to fight for it, so he immediately said with a straight face: "Jiugong got my treasure, Fang Wudao How can it be possible to let him be my superior instead, since I am a half-teacher to him, and I have opened up the lineage of Maoshan Mountain?"
The master Gong kowtowed and said: "Young Patriarch has the grace to pass on the Dharma, but when I came down to Maoshan, all the laws and regulations came from the Jiugong Patriarch. Lu Zu and Zhongli Quan are like immortals, they are fellow Taoists, now we invite the young patriarch to enter Xiamao Mountain, with the Jiugong patriarch in front, how dare we respect him as uncle?"
"I also ask the young patriarch to respect my Jiugong patriarch as a senior brother at his discretion!"
Wang Chen didn't care about these things at all, but he knew that those who wanted to go down Maoshan put him in front of the real patriarch, not to say it was impossible, but it was also extremely difficult, forcing people would inevitably make people's hearts go against each other. Why
So he said a few words in a neutral manner, and then he agreed.
With his permission, Master Gong immediately invited the portrait of Patriarch Jiugong, opened the ancestral hall, and after reporting to the patriarch, took a red pen and wrote Wang Chen's dharma name behind the name of Patriarch Jiugong on the ancestral book of Xiamao Mountain. , Called; Life-saving real person.
"Apprentice grandson, pay homage to the young patriarch!" Master Gong and his disciples respectfully kowtowed to Wang Chen. After that, a Chinese citizen in the 21st century, a grassroots civil servant with a master's degree, and Wang Chen, who can feed the whole family without hunger, Wang Weisheng became the young patriarch of the first leftist school in the Ming Dynasty to go down to Maoshan, and he was in charge of the Maoshan lineage.
At present, under the door, there are two big cats and kittens, and two old and small cats.
