Chapter 77 The Lady
Lin Qingxue was embarrassed and said: "Lin Hu is determined to revive the Lin family in Junzhou, but he is afraid that he will not leave."
"Can he revive his family business by becoming a bandit? Even if he can annex other bandits, what will the result be? Maybe he captures Junzhou?" the female Taoist priest said disdainfully.
Lin Qingxue nodded and said: "Xue'er goes to persuade him. If he doesn't listen, Xue'er will follow the master's order and leave."
"Go and persuade him not to mention the military governor of southern Sichuan. Southern Sichuan is too far away. Your husband said that his grandfather became the governor of Jinzhou, and he heard about it as a teacher. You persuade Lin Hu to join the governor of Jinzhou, so that it will be possible in the future.
Make progress in Junzhou." said the female Taoist priest.
Lin Qingxue was surprised, and the female Taoist priest added: "I have selfish motives for doing this as a teacher. I want Lu Zu's lineage to survive for a long time. If the Taoist sect in Wudang Mountain wants to prosper, it needs the support of the government."
Lin Qingxue nodded and whispered: "Xueer understands and will not let the master down."
The female Taoist priest nodded and said: "Go, I will wait for you as my master."
Lin Qingxue turned around and left. The female Taoist priest stood waiting in the night, like a stone figure.
...
Early the next morning, at three o'clock in the morning, Wei Fufeng and his subordinates went to Shanshui Temple to say goodbye.
Walking to the door and knocking on the wooden door, the female Taoist priest appeared and opened the door. Behind the female Taoist priest stood Lin Qingxue and Xiaoxue dressed in black.
"Sister." Wei Fufeng shouted in surprise, and then hurriedly saluted the female Taoist priest: "Thank you, Master Immortal."
The female Taoist priest nodded, turned to Lin Qingxue and said calmly: "Let's go."
"Master, Xue'er takes leave." Lin Qingxue said goodbye reluctantly.
"Master?" Wei Fufeng was shocked and realized that the old female Taoist priest was actually Lin Qingxue's master. She was a master of martial arts. She couldn't help but secretly feel happy that she had always treated her with respect.
Lin Qingxue and Xiaoxue walked out, and Wei Fufeng said gently: "Sister, I should say goodbye to my mother-in-law."
"My mother won't let me see you." Lin Qingxue whispered, her face looking sad.
Wei Fufeng was calm, but then said: "Sister, let's kowtow at the door and say goodbye, okay?"
Lin Qingxue nodded, knelt side by side with Wei Fufeng outside the door, and kowtowed three times to Wei Fufeng's rhythm.
Wei Fufeng stretched out his hand to grasp Lin Qingxue's jade hand, stood up together, and saluted the female Taoist priest beside the door.
The female Taoist priest nodded, turned around, and closed the wooden door.
After receiving Lin Qingxue, Wei Fufeng was in a good mood. He looked at Lin Qingxue and smiled and said, "Sister, let's go. Maybe it won't be long before you and I will come back."
Lin Qingxue nodded and whispered: "I have been staying with my clan brother. The master came to find me last night. I bid farewell to clan brother Lin Hu and persuaded clan brother to lead his men to leave Wudang Mountain and work under your command. Can you accept it?"
After hearing the surprise, Wei Fufeng subconsciously hesitated with a scrupulous expression, and then said: "Your clan brother is willing to go to southern Sichuan?"
"No, I didn't mention Southern Sichuan. I suggested that my brother join the Jinzhou governor. I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to make the decision." Lin Qingxue whispered.
"Oh, that's okay, I can make the decision." Wei Fufeng immediately agreed easily.
Lin Qingxue nodded and whispered: "Brother Clan is waiting at Wulipo."
Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "I have something to do and I forgot to tell the master. You guys should leave first."
Lin Qingxue nodded slightly and walked with Xiaoxue. Wei Fufeng's subordinates also walked away silently.
Wei Fufeng walked to the wooden door alone. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened and the woman said:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The scholar stood in the door and looked at Wei Fufeng with an indifferent expression.
Wei Fufeng saluted and whispered: "Master, I had a dream last night. I dreamed of a mythical beast with a dragon head and a turtle body, which transformed into the appearance of my ancestor."
"You are referring to the Nine Sons of the Dragon." The female Taoist priest said calmly.
Wei Fufeng nodded and whispered: "Biqi has the body of a turtle and the appearance of a dragon. Turtles are said to be prime ministers in the water tribe, which means that the ancestors of the family can become prime ministers. The dragon appearance is not a real dragon, but it is also a species of dragon."
"Dragon, in Taoism or Buddhism, is just a protector god, not supreme. Taoism respects the theory of heaven. The messengers of the main god in heaven can become human kings when they enter the mortal world. Since you have concerns, you can choose the theory of the messenger of the main god.
"
"There are people in the Taoist sects of Wudang Mountain who believe in the True Monarch of Xuanwu. Under the True Monarch of Xuanwu there are two generals, the turtle and the snake. The Taoist sect also has the theory of three souls and seven souls. One breath transforms the three pure beings. It is said that Emperor Zetian is the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha. The donor's grandfather can...
It is said that he is the reincarnation of the turtle general's heavenly soul." The female Taoist priest explained calmly.
"Master worships the Empress Nuwa," Wei Fufeng said.
"I am Kun Dao, so naturally I should worship the goddess. Empress Nuwa is the ancestral god, much higher than the True Monarch Xuanwu. A Taoist temple can worship many gods. The ancestral gods can be in the high position, Xuanwu and Fu Lu Shou are in the middle, and the earth and mountain gods are in the lower position.
"The female Taoist priest explained calmly.
Wei Fufeng nodded, and the female Taoist priest continued: "The theory of gods is vague and has no trace. It is just the wish of the world to pray for peace and happiness. What the poor Taoist advocates is alchemy cultivation, absorbing the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers, eating Huangjing Zhicao, doing good deeds, and obeying the laws of nature.
Stay quiet and do nothing, and you will live a long life."
Wei Fufeng nodded and said respectfully: "Fufeng is taught."
The female Taoist shook her head and said calmly: "Your desires are so deep that you can only wallow in the world of mortals, unable to escape the troubles."
Wei Fufeng smiled bitterly. He was at the age when he was young and in his prime. Of course, he had strong desires and could not become a Taoist priest or a monk.
Wei Fufeng suppressed his wry smile and said with a straight face: "I need to report to the ancestors of the Ming family about dreaming. I don't dare to do anything wrong. Please ask the master for permission."
The female Taoist priest nodded and said calmly: "Go ahead."
Wei Fufeng bowed respectfully, turned around and left Shanshui Temple, met his lover and subordinates and walked down the mountain.
After walking half a mile, he saw a dense crowd of people, including thousands of men, women, old and young. Wei Fufeng was a little surprised.
There were thousands of people, with two to three hundred men standing in front, holding various "weapons" in their hands. All of them were dressed in ragged clothes, most of them wearing straw sandals. Behind them were old and weak women and children, and there were many baskets on the ground.
At the front of the team were a dozen strong men wearing armor and holding swords, guns, bows and arrows. They held their chests high and their heads high, showing a mighty look. They were in sharp contrast to the crowd behind them and were very uncoordinated.
Wei Fufeng walked over calmly, followed by Lin Qingxue and Xiaoxue.
The ten guards at the back were divided into left and right wings. Although the number was small, their neatly dressed robes, belts around their waists, leather boots, and portable sabers naturally exuded an official air and military power.
"Brother Wei Fufeng, I have met Brother Lin Hu." Wei Fufeng greeted him respectfully.
The leader was a muscular man wearing chainmail, with sword-like eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a short beard. When he saw Wei Fufeng greeting him with a salute, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother-in-law is a very talented man. He is Lin Hu."
Wei Fufeng was a little speechless. He simply said, "A certain person is Lin Hu." "Brother-in-law is a good talent." It sounded awkward. He looked calm and said, "Brother, I heard Qingxue say that the eldest brother wants to lead his subordinates to join Jinzhou."

"Yes, I am leading everyone to beg for work in the mountains. We usually respect Sister Qingxue very much. Now that the girl has spoken, I and you are willing to go to Jinzhou." Lin Hu replied.
Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Brother, please take a moment to speak."
Lin Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, just tell me what you have to say."
Wei Fufeng was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "Well, I am willing to accept you all to join Jinzhou, but you and Qingxue are fellow villagers, and I don't want you to have unfortunate consequences. If you go to Jinzhou, you will inevitably encounter war.
Please carefully consider the gains and losses, and if you are willing to seek peace, please stay."
Lin Hu immediately replied: "I have discussed with everyone that defecting to Jinzhou will inevitably lead to fights, but we are also in fear every day in Wudang Mountain. The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain often attack, and there are many hills in the mountain, refusing to give in to each other."
Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "With so many people, it is difficult to get out of Junzhou. Where can my brother lead them safely? I will dispatch troops to Junzhou to pick them up."
Lin Hu was slightly startled, then turned around to discuss with the people around him. After a moment, he turned around and said: "If you want to live in peace, you can only walk through the mountain road. You can reach the blocked river in Yun County, but it is difficult to cross the river."
"Okay, I will send troops to cross the Duhe River and meet you on the east bank." Wei Fufeng said. He knew that the Duhe River flows through Fangzhou and into Junzhou, and is a major tributary that flows into the Han River.
Lin Hu nodded in agreement, and then selected four people to follow Wei Fufeng down the mountain, successfully returned to the Han River dock, took the hired boat they came from, and raised the sail to return upstream.
The ship was far away from Yancen City. Wei Fufeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the governor of Junzhou would find it unusual and interrogate him, but he was overly worried because the Han River waterway was prosperous and there were many people like him passing by. As long as he paid enough to pass, he would be fine.
The soldiers of Junzhou will not be in trouble.
Wei Fufeng entered the inner cabin from the outer cabin. After going out, his subordinates crowded into the outer cabin to rest. The inner cabin was where Wei Fufeng and Xiaoxue lived, and now there was Lin Qingxue.
After walking in, Wei Fufeng smiled and looked at Lin Qingxue sitting on the bed.
Lin Qingxue's face was charming and serene, and her beautiful hands were raised. Wei Fufeng walked over and called kindly: "Sister."
Lin Qingxue looked up at him and whispered: "I heard from Xiaoxue last night that you have a fiancée?"
Wei Fufeng's heart tightened, he nodded and said gently: "My uncle is the master, but please don't worry, sister, I am the eldest lady."
"Don't talk nonsense. Since I came out with you, I am willing to accept my fate as my concubine." Lin Qingxue whispered.
Wei Fufeng said solemnly: "I said that the eldest lady is the eldest lady, and Miss Li Mansion, who is the master of uncle, is the madam. In the future, I will ask the madam for my sister and Xiaoxue. If my sister does not want to be with Miss Li Mansion, she can go to southern Sichuan.
Settling down in Southern Sichuan is the foundation that my sister and I have worked hard for."
Lin Qingxue's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she lowered her eyes and whispered: "Thank you for not looking down upon me."
Wei Fufeng turned around and sat down before leaving, put his arms around Lin Qingxue's delicate body, and whispered gently: "I once thought that if the Sichuan incident failed, Xiaoxue and I would flee to Wudang Mountain to be with my sister for the rest of our lives. Xiaoxue knew that I had a lot of secrets.
Treasure, we will be content if we live a prosperous life."
"You are considered extremely wealthy now." Lin Qingxue whispered.
"Sister, it is difficult to survive in troubled times. It is my wish to live a prosperous life, but without the protection of the forces, I will inevitably become a fat sheep in the eyes of the evil forces. To say that I am extremely rich may be just a dream." Wei Fufeng
Bitter whispers.
"Since I've followed you, I just want to never leave you." Lin Qingxue whispered, Wei Fufeng tilted his head slightly and awkwardly kissed the beauty's lips.
