Chapter 51 Entering the Dao

The seven high-ranking priests in Heming Mountain are Fan Changyi, Bai Changjue, Yin Changsheng, Zhang Changye, Li Changfeng, Han Changce, and Wei Chang'an. They are all the most famous figures in the world, but they have never heard of the eighth high-ranking priests, and they are Sun Guan's little disciples.

The more mysterious it is, the more terrifying it is!

"Put down other things and focus on investigating the new priest. If necessary, keep in close communication with Wang Fu. Don't let go of all the news about this person, even if there is any clue."

Xu You paused and said resolutely: "Also, tell Li Mu that the ship workers from the original ship pavilion who have been in contact with each other over the years can be activated."

When Guo's ship pavilion was disbanded, the trained ship workers were ordered to return to the field. At first, the Wohusi Department also closely monitored everyone's whereabouts to ensure that they no longer engage in intelligence-related work. In order to avoid suspicion, Xu You did not actively recruit these people, but instead sent Li Mu to secretly maintain contact. He would always send some money, rice and grain during festivals, and the bond between them was not completely cut off. After the two years of disagreement, the Wohusi Department should have relaxed its vigilance, or had forgotten the existence of these ship workers, and it was time to conquer them for their own use.

"promise!"

When the winter solstice left, Xu You summoned Jingzhe again and said, "Prepare to go to Jinling tomorrow. When you see Zhan Wenjun, give her my letter."

Jingzhe nodded. He had been used to running back and forth in Jinling and Qiantang recently, and said, "Would you like to take Si Nian with you this time?"

"No need, you go alone, go and go back quickly. If Zhan Wenjun responded, turn back to Jinling, go to meet Yuan Jie, and hand him the letter; if Zhan Wenjun refuses..." Xu You smiled and said, "Then you don't have to go to Jinling again. If you ruin this letter, come back!"

"promise!"

After arranging everything, Xu You returned to the room and left Qingming alone. He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountains in the distance, silent for a long time. Qingming stood behind him, knowing that there must be something important to discuss, but Xu You didn't speak, he would never ask.

I don’t know how long it took, Xu You said in a hoarse voice and calmly: “Qingming, the time has come!”

Qingming was quiet for a moment and said, "The time is here, but what about the candidates? We only have one chance. Once Sun Guan sees through it, if you want to obtain the Daoxin Xuanwei Dao, it is probably impossible in this life!"

"Yes, this matter is only allowed to succeed, not fail!"

"For two years, we have been searching for privately, but we have never found the most suitable candidate. We are innocent, smart, loyal, courageous and knowledgeable, and have a good way of learning. We have to be unfamiliar faces. The conditions are too harsh..."

"So," Xu You turned around and chuckled, "I can only do this myself!"

Qingming was stunned for a while and said, "No! The risk is too great!"

"If you want to survive, you must take risks."

Xu You repeatedly considered the pros and cons over the years, mixed into the Tianshi Taoist path, approached Sun Guan, and waited for an opportunity to steal the Five Talisman Sutra of the Spirit Treasure. Every step was extremely dangerous, and you could not feel at ease when you hand it over to others. Instead of sitting there waiting for death, it would be better to give it a try.

Success, although you are happy or defeated, there is no regret!

"Have you discussed with your husband?" Qingming believed that if there was anyone who could convince Xu You, it would be He Ru.

"Don't tell Qiyi first. Now you and I know about this... It's not too late to wait until I get in and find out the details before discussing with Qiyi!"

Qingming was still a little hesitant and said, "Please think twice!"

"It's too late. Ning Zhenren only gave me five years, but the war lasted for more than a year, and there were still three years left. Whether it was dead or alive, I could only take a gamble."

Xu You engaged in financial investment in his previous life. Every time he made a judgment and decision, he was based on huge data operations, logical reasoning and insider information, but sometimes he had to grit his teeth and gamble on luck. If God really didn't stand on your side, manpower would be irreversible.

However, these words can only be said to Qingming. In front of others, Xu You must keep a confident and calm, otherwise he will be uneasy and lose his composure.

Qingming no longer advised each other. He was a corpse. He only needed to make an opinion. The one who made the decision in the end was always the Lord Huang. Xu You had made up his mind, so he would do it according to his instructions, turn around and go to the inner room, and take out another disguise mask from the secret box hidden under the bed. Chen Shen left only two masks. The first one had been used when he escaped from Qiantang. Although almost all those who had seen that face were dead, they decided to use the last one for safety.

After careful care of Xu You, after an hour, he could hardly see his original appearance and turned into another person.

"Easy and easy appearance are just inferior. The key is to gradually change the posture of sitting, lying, standing, walking and speaking, and the rhythm of speech. Especially temperament, demeanor, and words must conform to the identity and status of the person so that there will be no flaws."

"If you pretend to be a refugee migrating from Kuaiji, ordinary households and people are all involved, and you can read books and read. Since childhood, you have admired the Taoist Taoist Master and studied Taoism carefully. Because of the rebellion of the White Thieves, all your family members were destroyed and they were alone in Qiantang, so you must join the teachings to seek peace of mind. How should you figure out the daily behavior of such people?"

Qingming was surprised and said, "Have you made arrangements?"

"Yes, this man's name is Lin Tong. He lives in Qingyang Village, Juzhang County. His father died early, without brothers and sisters, and only a deaf and mute mother as his companion. He was dull and taciturn. He read books for several years when he was young. He accidentally came into contact with Taoist scriptures and suddenly realized his spiritual enlightenment, but he never showed it and was not known to outsiders."

"Qingyang Village, Juzhang County?"

Qingming immediately reacted and said, "But the village that was washed away when Zhu Zhi broke the dike and flooded the city?"

"That's right!" Xu You said in a deep voice: "This is called death without evidence. Juzhang County was flooded by the Three Rivers. One out of ten people in Qi was compiled. Qingyang Village and the three surrounding villages were wiped out from the ground as a whole. All the household registration book stored in the county government were damaged and disappeared. The village chief, pavilion chief, elder, and village chief were all dead. No one could find any flaws!"

Qingming sighed: "Your husband is far-sighted and has a very meticulous background. I finally have more confidence in you being able to successfully steal the five-tale spirit!"

"This is not my meticulousness, but my intention to do things in the winter solstice. Last year, I asked her to send someone to Juzhang to secretly check the details, screened back and forth in dozens of villages, and finally selected Qingyang Village."

Xu You smiled and said, "In addition, Lin Tong has already settled a house in Qiantang and has a house in the east of the city..."

"At the end of last year, Du Sansheng was in charge of resettlement of refugees, and the registration must have been completed at that time. But the house... Lin Tong had no belongings, so how could he afford to buy a house?"

"Of course, we can't just put the refugees in vain. We'll just place them if we say they're resettled? Xiao Chun sold the ownerless houses and land in the city to gentry and wealthy businessmen, and then built hundreds of simple houses in remote places in the four cities in the southeast, west and north to resettle refugees. Lin Tong was alone, divided into small houses with one bedroom and one courtyard, and divided into three acres of fertile land in the suburbs, but they had not yet been cultivated."

There is nothing to say in Qingming Festival.

Xu You looked far away and said calmly: "Everything is ready, just wait for the Tianshidao to reorganize Yangzhou. Now, the opportunity is here!"

Two days later, Xu You appeared alone in front of the Tianshi Dao Jinglu in Qiantang. Unlike the previous incense, the Jinglu, which had just been rebuilt and renovated, was as deserted as winter. The preacher I saw that day lay lazily on the bed, basking in the sun, catching lice, and being bored.

"Greetings to the Taoist official!" Xu You knelt down, his hands folded, his forehead lying on the ground, showing respect.

The person in charge of the Qiantang Jinglu was Ma Yiming, a general of the Shilu in Yangzhou. He turned his head when he heard the sound, looked up and down at Xu You, and said carelessly: "What's the matter?"

"I want to enter the Tao!"

"Huh?" Ma Yiming turned over and sat up, sorted out his Taoist robe, and smiled on his face. It was the first time that someone had come to Qiantang for so long that he had come to ask for entry into the Tao, but he still pretended to be dignified and said, "Why do you want to enter my Taoist sect?"

"I have been in a state of poverty and misery for half my life. My parents have all died, they are displaced and have difficulty returning home. There is no place for this heart and body to rest. That day, I passed through West Lake and heard the Taoist officials talk about the power of Zhengyi Alliance. I suddenly realized it. I wish to join my Taoist sect and serve the Heavenly Master for the rest of my life!"

"Listen to your speaking smoothly, can you read and read? "

"When my father was alive, I asked me to read books for several years, and I wrote a few words in a rough way."

Ma Yiming was even happier. It was considered a merit to recruit more Taoist people, but if he was a few Taoist people who knew how to learn the performance, he would add more merit when examining the performance. He wanted to upgrade from Ten Talisman Generals to Fifty Talisman Generals, all thanks to his performance in Qiantang this time, so Xu You's appearance made him feel that good luck seemed to be coming.

Those who believe in ghosts and gods believe the most in these mysterious ways of fate. Ma Yiming immediately put down his posture, stepped forward and helped Xu You up, and smiled and said, "Okay, since you have the heart, I will fulfill you. Go back today, take a bath, change clothes, don't eat meat and wine, don't sleep, pray to clear your heart, and come again in three days. Also, remember to bring five dou of rice. If there is no rice, you can both money and silk, and then I will personally teach you the "Five Thousand Literatures"."

Wu Dou Rice Sect, handing over rice Denglu, how could Xu You not know that, thanked him again, bowed and left Jinglu.

This Ma Yiming is careless and not very scheming, so it should not be difficult to deal with. Following such a person into the Tao, at least when he first enters the Taoist school, he can reduce the chance of exposure. When he comes to contact with higher-level Taoist people in the future, he is already accustomed to the various practices of the Taoist Taoist Tao. Even if he is tracking down, there is no big problem with this person who endorses him.

After leaving Jinglu, Xu You did not return to Mingyu Mountain, but went to Lintong's house. It is located in the southeast corner, and the place is remote and desolate. It is a small courtyard with white walls and green tiles, with one room, two rooms and three rooms.

Xu You's house is at the end of this row, and there is a small alley next to it to the city. If something happens, it is convenient to escape. Next door to him is also a one-bedroom and a courtyard. When passing the gate, the creaking wooden door opened. A girl in her early twenties walked out with a wooden basin full of worn-out clothes. She looked pretty, but her skin was dark and her figure was quite slim. She didn't expect that someone at the door would trip over the threshold. In a frightened state, her feet stumbled onto Xu You.

"Beware!"

The girl calmed down, lowered her head and thanked her, and quickly walked towards the river outside the city. Xu You shook her head, not caring about her heart, but just took a casual look. Through the half-open wooden door, she saw a man sitting in the yard wearing a trunk dress, with patches densely packed from shoulders and elbows to legs and knees. Next to his left foot, there was a short bamboo stick.

Xu You frowned unawarely, and kept pushing open the wooden door of his yard, and his body slowly disappeared behind the door.
