surnamed Wang

Chapter 302
Not long after Shen Qianqiu left, an old man walked over slowly, Wang Quanquan rolled his eyes and said to himself, are you here for the market?

The old man turned a blind eye to the young man's expression, sat down on his own, then poured himself a glass of wine very rudely, picked it up and took a sip, tsk tsk in his mouth:
"I said, boy, where did you hide the 20-year-old wine? In the six months since you disappeared, I searched the entire palace but couldn't find it."

Wang Gangquan glanced at the other party, and answered the wrong question:
"Why, are you looking for a place for your grandson?"

The old man smiled slightly, took another sip of wine, and said:
"I don't have the time to care about the jokes among you young people, and this kid has been spoiled by me, he doesn't have the vigor that young people should have, someone should beat him up.

Compared to this, I'm more interested in that young man just now. If he can win three yuan in a row, don't you support him? "

Wang Gangquan filled the wine for both parties, shook his head and said:

"If he doesn't have this ability, even if he wins the first prize, so what, even if I support him behind his back, he is still a fool who can't help him.

Uncut jade, useless, like your grandson, he has been spoiled by the elders in the family. "

The young man raised his wine glass after ordering, while the old man stroked his beard and smiled, and also picked up his wine glass.

"My lord is very well-intentioned."

"Each each other!"

The two clinked glasses, and there were similar smiles on the corners of their mouths, which seemed to be a bit of a mess.

……

"What do you think of the current court situation?" Wang Bingquan reopened a jar of wine and asked along the way.

"Why, are you finally willing to be emperor?"

This time it was the old man's turn to answer irrelevant questions, but after waiting for a while, he realized that the young man didn't agree with him at all, so he was slightly disappointed and said:

"As far as I can see, today's aggressive recruiting of scholars is nothing more than an attempt to replace those old ministers. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the dynasty's officials are already corrupt, and it is only a matter of time before the rectification is over.

It is the right time for the prince to let Xiu Cheng and the Jiangdong boy take part in the imperial examination. As for whether they can win the first class, it depends on the emperor's mind in the end.

My lord, this old man has the guts to ask, since you don't want to sit on the dragon chair, why do you still want to do such a thankless thing? "

"Is there anything in this world that you don't understand?" Wang Gangquan pretended to be surprised.

The old man showed a helpless smile, shook his head and said:
"In this world, the most elusive thing is the human heart."

"If you can't figure it out, drink a drink, and you can have everything in your dreams."

As Wang Gangquan said, he poured a full cup for the other party.

……

The new dynasty has a new atmosphere. Since Emperor Shun came to the throne, there has not been much disturbance in the literary and official circles. On the contrary, the irrelevant Taoist sects were the first to suffer.

Emperor Shun once promised Wen Fuding that he would be regarded as a national teacher on the day of his success, and allowed the Daxing of Chuanlu Mansion to prosper for 300 years.

After attacking the capital, Wang Bingde, who had been planning to win the throne, was the first to admit the status of Wen Fuding's national teacher before he even "followed God's fortune".

Later, with the acquiescence of the imperial court, the Chuanlu Mansion not only rebuilt the mountain gate on the burnt site, but also became more popular than before.

The Chuanlu Mansion, which almost wiped out the sect overnight, became the head of the Central Plains Taoism overnight, with disciples all over the world, and pilgrims kept coming and going.

Here in the capital, one or two sects of Quanzhen who have dominated the Qin Tianjian in the past dynasties for nearly a thousand years have also been "invited" by the emperor to return to their respective sects one after another, and the Qin Tianjian has suddenly become the private residence of the Chuanlu Mansion.

As a national teacher, Wen Fuding did have some supernatural abilities. The rain in the beginning of spring fell directly for three days, which not only ensured sufficient irrigation, but also did not cause waterlogging. The amount of rainfall was just right.

The Chuanlu Mansion is different from other Taoist ancestral families. It does not worship ghosts and gods, but respects the heaven and the earth. The heaven and the earth intersect to give birth to all things. One of the secret methods passed down in the Chuanlu Mansion is the dual cultivation of yin and yang. There are many female disciples in the sect. It's a well-known secret.

The exclusive favor of Chuanlu Mansion naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people. Many ministers in the court who believed in Huang Lao's theory wrote letters one after another, denouncing Chuanlu Mansion's promiscuity and indulgence, calling it crooked and unworthy to be the head of the world's orthodoxy.

Naturally, this cannot be separated from the help of some Taoist ancestral families, but the emperor of the royal family favored the national teacher who helped him win the throne, and all impeachments were suppressed one by one.

On the contrary, there is a respectable Daoist real person in the Taoist sect who made a rather pertinent statement:

"Wen Fu Ding has made great contributions to the country, and the Chuanlu Mansion should be prosperous. If he cherishes his blessings, it doesn't take 300 years, and 50 years will be enough to overwhelm the other factions.

But the method of dual cultivation is to take a shortcut, which is not in line with Taoism's inaction. Even if you succeed in cultivation, you still don't want to ascend to immortality in this life. "

Compared with Zhengyi Quanzhen who proves to be a god once every hundred years, Chuanlu Mansion has been established for more than [-] years, and it is true that no god has been born. Even Wen Fuding, who is the most talented, relies on It is the power of talismans.

……

In the southeast corner of the capital, the business of Zhoujiuer's booth was booming. Since he moved here, other fortune tellers around him have left with interest.

The supervisor of Qin Tianjian was robbing them for business, even if they could beat them, they would not have the guts to do so.

Zhou Jiuer had just sent away a boy who had spent a lot of money at the booth with a smile on his face. When he turned around, he saw a man with a sword on his waist staring at him coldly. The old man's smile froze immediately. face.

"Wang... my lord, why are you here?"

Zhou Shen, who has always been eloquent, stuttered.

"Don't worry, it's not time to kill you yet." Wang Gangquan came to the booth and sat down unceremoniously.

Wang Qingquan got straight to the point and said:

"Where did you give me that scripture?"

The old Taoist finally breathed a sigh of relief, moved his butt forward, and said:

"It was left by Master Pindao. When Master left in a hurry, he left two books, one of which was the Reconstruction Sutra given to the prince. Pindao had read that scripture before, but his understanding was really limited. ..."

"Is your master's surname Lou?" Wang Bingquan interrupted.

"How does the prince know?"

Zhou Jiuer's face was full of shock. Even his disciple didn't know about this until before his master died.

Wang Gangquan didn't answer the other party, but tapped the table with his fingers, thinking silently in his heart.

It seems that the rumors in the arena are true. The swordsman surnamed Lou who had been famous for many years was destroyed by a rising star and faded out of the arena. The sword destroyed half of the main hall of Mingjian Villa.

And this swordsman surnamed Lou is probably Zhou Jiuer's master. As for his rumors of begging and being a Taoist priest, they are probably true.

Wang Gingquan didn't ask any more questions about the scriptures. There are many capable people in the world.

After pondering for a while, Wang Gangquan asked again:

"Wen Fuding, how much do you know?"

Zhou Jiuer stroked his beard, thought for a moment and said:
"If you want to say it poorly, this person is almost a monster."

Wang Gangquan frowned slightly, "Why did you say that?"

"My lord, have you ever heard of collecting yin and nourishing yang?"
