No taboos in the world

Chapter 316: Recruiting disciples on behalf of the master, the way of law

Hearing this, the four of them quickly stopped smiling, stood up, and bowed in front of Hong Chen, saying in unison: "Thank you, Junior Brother, for saving our lives, and thank you, Junior Brother, for teaching us!"

Hong Chen waved his hand, "We are all family, no need to be so polite."

Sitting down to rest for a while, Hong Chen had just recovered when Master Simu said, "Ah Chen, it's better not to keep the clients at home for too long, after all, their families are waiting. I feel relieved to have you at home, so I'd better leave right away!"

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Qianhe on the side also said: "Achen, you know Uncle likes to walk around. Since today's mission has been accomplished, I will not stay for long. But don't worry, from now on, no matter where you are, no matter what you want, as long as you notify Uncle, even if it is the ends of the earth, Uncle will definitely bring your four brothers back!"

These words were spoken so loudly that Master Simu was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly added: "Achen, me too!"

Hong Chen naturally nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Uncle Qianhe thought for a moment, then came to Hong Chen and whispered some instructions.

"Ah Chen, I think you should tell your master about this as soon as possible. If he knew that we walked ahead of him, you would be in trouble in the future..."

Well, everyone knows that Master is narrow-minded.

"Uncle master is right. Thank you for the reminder. I will send a message to Master immediately." Hong Chen nodded heavily.

Qianhe nodded with satisfaction and showed a teachable smile.

"Achen, you are the one who shoulders the future of Maoshan. You must be extremely cautious in your future actions and always put your own safety first. Remember: as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."

"Uncle Master, rest assured, I know!"

"Ah."

Afterwards, Master Simu drove away the clients, while Master Qianhe took their four disciples and set off together.

Master Ikkyu from next door also watched them leave. When the two groups of people disappeared at the end of the road, he put his hands behind his back, leisurely came to the door of Uncle Simu's house, and looked at Hong Chen with a smile.

"Uh... Master Ikkyu, do you need any help?"

Master Yixiu shook his head: "It's okay, I just came to see the future head of Maoshan."

Hong Chen smiled and shook his head: "Master, you are exaggerating."

"No, as the saying goes, monks don't tell lies, and I never tell lies." The admiration in Master Ikkyu's eyes was almost overflowing, and Hong Chen felt a little scared unconsciously.

Hong Chen paused, then smiled and invited: "Master Yixiu, please don't stand at the door, come in and sit down."

"No, no, just do your thing and don't bother me."

Master Ikkyu waved his hands repeatedly.

Seeing this, Hong Chen no longer insisted. After retracting his gaze, he lowered his head and picked up the pen to write.

This letter is of course written to the Master.

Uncle Qianhe’s reminder is by no means an exaggeration.

If it were someone else, perhaps the petty-minded master would have just taken a little revenge and let it go. After all, not everyone can withstand Uncle Jiu's revenge.

But if the target was Hong Chen, he could be sure that although his master would not retaliate against him, the consequences would definitely be more painful to him than revenge.

Who made Hong Chen the most beloved, pampered and doted disciple without a doubt?
It is also difficult for Hong Chen to play his role well.

I already had a draft in my mind, so I could write with natural inspiration.

Soon, he had finished writing the entire letter, and his swift writing skills made Master Ikkyu like him even more.

He put down the brush and blew gently. The Red Fire Dragon sitting in the temple brought a scorching wind, and the ink on the paper quickly evaporated.

"Achen, do you want to send a letter?" Master Ikkyu suddenly asked. "Yes."

Master Ikkyu smiled and said, "I know someone who is responsible for delivering mail in a nearby town. Do you need me to help coordinate it for you? A letter that would normally take a day to travel can be reduced by more than half through that person."

"Thank you Master Ikkyu for your concern, but I don't need to trouble you to do me a favor this time." Hong Chen declined with a smile, but his hands did not stop moving.

After a few breaths, a paper crane suddenly appeared in the flying hands.

Hold up the paper crane with one hand and point it in the air with the other hand.

"The sky is spiritual, the earth is spiritual, and the paper crane is also spiritual. I will search for it for thousands of miles until I find it!"

As soon as the last word was spoken, the two wings of the paper crane in his hand began to flap, faster and faster, and more and more flexibly!

The rustling sound of folding paper was weaker than the fluttering sound of a real bird taking off, but because its body was lighter and smaller, its speed was not slower at all and was even faster.

Watching the paper crane flying past him at high speed, Master Yixiu was surprised: "You are so skilled in delivering letters by flying crane. It seems that I was right about you."

Hong Chen felt that Master Ikkyu must have something to say to him, or wanted his help, but he just couldn't make up his mind at the moment.

After a little thought, I guess 90% of what happened to Master Ikkyu will fall on Jingjing's shoulders.

So, in order to stop him from staring at him with that slightly ambiguous look, Hong Chen took the initiative to ask: "Master Yixiu, where is Senior Sister Jingjing?"

Hearing this, Master Yixiu smiled even more broadly. "I asked Jingjing to go to the town to buy some cloth, seeds and vegetables. This poor girl, when I met her outside, she was hiding under a tree and was so confused by the fever. If I hadn't found her in time, wouldn't there be another life lost in the world?"

"That makes sense. The master is so compassionate. He really lives up to the original intention of Buddhism."

"Haha, you don't have to praise me. What I'm worried about now is that Jingjing is a girl after all, and she's not very old. If she follows me into Buddhism, firstly, she might regret it in the future, and secondly, it's really not convenient for her to follow me."

"Oh? So the master means..."

Master Yixiu immediately smiled and said: "The rules of Taoism are more relaxed than those of Buddhism. Achen, as the favorite disciple of Master Lin, I wonder if you are interested in accepting another disciple for him?" After saying that, he looked at Hong Chen with his bright eyes, obviously afraid that he would disagree.

Hong Chen thought for a moment and said, "Senior Sister Jingjing is beautiful and intelligent, and she must be a good candidate for cultivation. Master, don't you think it's a pity that you are so modest?"

"Haha, it's a pity, of course, but how can it compare to a little girl's future? Besides, I've long been accustomed to being alone, while Maoshan is bound to rise. I can find such a good home for her, what else do I have to regret?"

Hearing this, Hong Chen stood up and bowed gently: "Master, you are so magnanimous, I admire you. In that case, I will accept Senior Sister Jingjing on behalf of Master."

Seeing that he agreed, Master Ikkyu quickly stepped into the room and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Great! You really helped me solve a big problem. Don't worry, if you need anything in the future, I will definitely rush to help you."

"Master, this is serious. Although we have already made an agreement on this matter, Senior Sister Jingjing's training has been going well recently, so I think it's better not to tell her for the time being."

"Of course, you have the final say now. Well, you are busy, I will go back to do my morning prayers."

After seeing off Master Ikkyu, Hong Chen continued to go to Master Simu's bedroom to read.

The sun and the moon change, and time passes.

A month later.

Hong Chen put down the last book and let out a breath.

In his pupils and thunderous eyes, it seemed as if countless Taoist classic words were constantly rising and falling.

After a whole month of hard study, he benefited a lot.

But if we have to make a summary, then perhaps it can be summed up in two words:
Law!
