Part One: Deep Mountain and Ghost Valley

Chapter 9: Taoist priests accept disciples into the mountains and meet masters in a canyon shop

It is said that the scholar in white sat opposite the Taoist priest and looked out of the window. He saw that the masked man had left. The drunk man lay on the ground for a long time before he slowly got up and walked away from the man leaning towards the back of the tavern. As we walked down the dirt road, the people watching the excitement gradually dispersed.

The scholar in white looked at it and smiled bitterly. He shook his head and sighed. He was thinking that now that the ghost kung fu in western Fujian has returned to the world, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the world from now on, and I don't know how many innocent people have been wronged. Then he stood up and hugged the old Daoxuan Zhenzi with a fist and said: "Taoist Master, thank you!".

The old Daoist Xuan Zhenzi didn't say anything but smiled at the scholar in white. The scholar in white stood up and took the extra-large "big tobacco bag" on the table, turned around and walked towards the table where he was sitting in front of him. .

At this time, the old Dao Xuan Zhenzi watched the scholar in white walk back to his desk. He turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window thoughtfully.

After a while, the old Daoxuan Zhenzi also had enough to eat and drink. He looked at the little boy next to him and asked hurriedly:

"Are you full?"!

The little boy was looking at the extra-large "big tobacco bag" that the scholar in white had taken away in a daze. When he heard the old Dao Xuan Zhenzi talking to him, he quickly turned his head to the old Dao Yile, patted his chest with his dirty little hands and said :

"Master Dao, I'm full."!

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi heard the little boy say he was full.

He hurriedly shouted to the store clerk in the distance:

"Staff,

Settle the account!".

At this time, the store clerk, who was leaning at the door, heard someone calling him and hurriedly responded:

"Come on!".

The shop assistant hurriedly walked over, walked to the table of the old Daoxuan Zhenzi and said:

"Master Tao,

Eaten,

Fifteen cents!".

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi reached out and took out a few copper coins from his clothes. He put them one by one on the table with his hands, and then said to the little boy:

"Let's go!".

The old Dao Xuan Zhenzi stood up and took the iron whisk, and put the soy beef and flatbread wrapped in paper into the small package on his back. He turned around and led the little boy out of the house.

They, one old and one young, walked out of the tavern one after another and walked directly to the west of the city.

When the two people, an old man and a young man, walked to a remote alley near the suburbs in the west of the city, the old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi stopped and said to the little boy:

"child,

you listen,

You are the descendant of loyal ministers,

Your parents were persecuted by the treacherous eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

The whole family was killed!

Don't mention this to anyone from now on!

Today I will make an exception,

Accept you as my disciple,

Give you a new name,

In order to avoid letting the government and Jin Yiwei know,

You will die!

Are you willing, child?”.

After the old Daoxuan Zhenzi finished speaking, he looked at the pitiful little boy. Without saying a word, the little boy knelt down in front of the old Daoxuan Zhenzi, with tears streaming down his face.

His voice was choked and he said:

"Master...Master,

You accept me as your disciple,

I do!

I want to go into the mountains with you to learn martial arts,

Then he killed his enemy Wei Zhongxian and the traitor Liu Jin.

To avenge his parents.

master!".

After the little boy finished speaking, he started crying. The old Dao Xuanzhenzi helped the little boy up and held him in his arms without saying a word.

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking in his heart that Wei Zhongxian and the traitorous minister Liu Jin would not end well if they ran around the country and became thieves. Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. You will eventually be punished. Framing loyalty and killing good people will not lead to a good death.

of.

In fact, the old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi had three disciples earlier. The eldest disciple was Wang Jingkang, whose Taoist name was "Wuxin Taoist". After five years of training, he returned to secular life, went down the mountain to join the army, and followed the army in the eastward expedition to Korea and made great achievements, and then went on the westward expedition.

Tubo became the counselor of the Propaganda and Consolation Envoy Hesuo Nanpu, and then conquered the Tatar Dayan Khan in the north, suppressed internal rebellions and civil unrest, and finally fought in the east against the Japanese Japanese pirates who invaded the coastal areas. In seven or eight years, they conquered the south and the north, and conquered the east and west.

, he became the general who guarded Nanjing, Jiangnan Division, and was responsible for the vast area from Zhejiang in the east, to southern Fujian in the south, and to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the west. However, when he was about to be crowned a prince by the emperor, he was attacked by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and the traitorous minister.

Liu Jin conspired to murder, and all 230 members of his family, old and young, were killed.

There was also the Taoist third disciple Qiu Jing, whose Taoist name was "Jiuxi Taoist". He later came down to serve as a layman and served under the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang. After a few years, he became the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Wei Wenzhou City Guards. However, the good times did not last long. The great eunuch Wei Zhongxian wanted to

When he was "nine thousand years old", his third disciple Qiu Jing and dozens of generals who defended the city from various places submitted a letter to Emperor Ming Xizong (Zhu Youxiao). As a result, dozens of generals who defended the city from various places were all framed by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, resulting in the Donglin Party Struggle.

.

Qiu Jing, the third apprentice of the Taoist Taoist, was framed by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who forged his holy qualifications, and was wronged. Seventy-one members of his family were killed, and Qiu Jing himself was forced to commit suicide with a sword.

After hearing the bad news, the old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi hurriedly recalled his second disciple Lin Zhitang, who was traveling in southern Fujian at that time, and sent his second disciple Lin Zhitang to go to Longmen Mountain in Yunnan to take refuge, because the second disciple Lin Zhitang was actually the "King of Yunnan" Mu family

The descendants of Xuan Zhenzi, the old Taoist, were afraid that his second apprentice would also be murdered, so when the old Taoist heard that the child said that he was the descendant of a loyal minister and good general, he made up his mind to accept the child as his apprentice and live in seclusion in the mountains to avoid the sword.

Blood disaster.

In fact, in the early days after the death of Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng, Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun was still able to maintain his interest in government affairs. During his reign, there were major events such as the Donglin Party Struggle, the Guoben Struggle, the Jiangnan Massacre (the murder of the Thirty-Three Families), and the Korean War to the outside world.

The Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty marked a turning point in the Ming Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline.

The "Battle of the Country" mainly revolves around the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Changluo and the King of Fu Zhu Changxun. Ming Shenzong has not established a prince for a long time, which makes the officials worried. It was not until the beginning of the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1601) that Zhu Changluo was named the prince, and Zhu Changxun

He was named King Fu. However, King Fu Zhu Changxun delayed leaving the capital to become the vassal king. It was not until the siege incident occurred and public opinion was unfavorable to Concubine Zheng that King Fu left the capital and joined the vassal state. Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty was extremely dissatisfied with his ministers due to the dispute over the country.

After the fifteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1557), he began not to go to court as revenge, and only dealt with some important events. After the fourteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1588), he was often not seen in the early morning.

In the deep palace, political affairs are ignored.

After Ming Xizong succeeded to the throne, he changed the Yuan Dynasty to Tianqi. During his reign, the politics became more corrupt and dark. In the early days, Ming Xizong hired a large number of Donglin Party members, which intensified the Donglin party struggle. As a result, Ming Xizong lost patience with the government. Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to intervene in politics and win over the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party.

The name was the Eunuch Party. After the Jiazi Year (1624), the fourth year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, the Eunuch Party took control of the government. Wei Zhongxian was arrogant and domineering, with minions all over the country. He called himself "Nine Thousand Years Old" and deposed the Emperor of Apocalypse, and vigorously attacked the Donglin Party.

On the pretext of "the case of assault, the case of red pills, and the case of moving the palace", he instigated his party members to forge the "Donglin Party Point General Record" and report it to the court. In the fifth year of Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty (1625), Ming Xizong issued an edict to burn down academies across the country.

.A large number of Donglin Party members were imprisoned or even executed. The political chaos during the Tianqi period led to intensified internal and external troubles.

It is said that the old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi led the little boy out of the tavern, and they came to the street, one old and one young. The old Taoist led the little boy to a large Chinese medicine hall, and then opened his own package and took out three A foot-long wild ginseng and a strange medicinal stone the size of a fist were given to a shopkeeper named Chen from the Chinese Medicine Hall, and then they were exchanged for more than twenty taels of grain silver and two pairs of Chinese herbal medicines. The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi wrapped the grain silver and put it in Inside the package, he tied the package to his back again.

In this way, the old Dao Xuan Zhenzi led the little boys, one old and one young, busy for a while, and then walked out of the Chinese medicine hall and came to the street.

After finishing his work, the old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi led the little boy out of Qingyuanhe Ancient Town.

The old man and the young man walked to the "Lijiazhuang" in the southeast of the village, along the narrow path leading into the village.
