Chapter 28: Meet Zhang Tianshi

"Okay, I'll take you to the Tianshi Mansion. If you can't get in, I will ask the people in the mansion to beat you to death!" Zhang Huier pulled a maid in front of her with an angry face.

"Miss, you can't go in. We know that your father is a distinguished guest of the Tianshi and a granddao of the imperial court. However, the Tianshi Mansion has rules, and foreign female relatives are not allowed to enter!" When we arrived at the gate of the Tianshi Mansion, several Taoists immediately came out to stop Zhang Huier and his party.

Zhang Huier pointed and asked Jian, "This person said he could enter the Tianshi Mansion, but I want to see if he could enter!"

The elderly and tall Taoist looked at "Jian Wendao" for a few glances and asked casually, "Dao ask where the fellow Taoist came from!"

"Come from Chongdao Temple in Bianjing City!", "Jian asked" answer made everyone stunned at first, and then laughed.

"Do you think you can get in by pretending to be the name of the first Taoist temple in the capital? Where is our Tianshi Mansion? I won't ask anymore, you go!"

As the tall and thin Taoist spoke, he made a gesture of asking them to leave. Zhang Huier reached out and called "Jian asked" "You are not a liar! You liar! Big liar!"

"Jian Wendao" did not resist, and took out a letter from the bag and gave it to the tall Taoist. "Fellow Taoist, you should recognize the mark on this letter, and I'm sorry to present it to Master Zhang Tian!"

Others continued to laugh at him, "If you fail, another plan, you have put in a lot of effort to cheat! You should know that every year, there are no eight thousand relatives who enter the Tianshi Mansion if you pretend to be Chongdao Temple or a big shot!"

The tall and thin Taoist glanced at the three marks on the envelope, changed his face immediately, and quickly waved, "Stop talking, I really can't tell the truth about the things this person has, so hurry up and give them to the Heavenly Master, by the way! Fellow Taoist, is it for the Old Heavenly Master or the Heavenly Master in the Hall?"

"Jian Wendao" took out a letter from the bag, "Fellow Taoist, if the old master is in the mansion, I will also send it to you!"

Zhang Huier looked at the envelope with only a few marks, and continued to sing "Jian Wen" "You can continue to cheat! In a while, the people from the Tianshi Mansion will come to teach you a liar!"

"Miss, be careful of your manners!"

"Miss, let's help you fight, don't take action!"

"This person is thick-skinned and doesn't even run away! If he is exposed later, he is afraid he will be sent to the government or stayed in the Tianshi Mansion as a traitor!"

"Jian asked" smiled, "Miss Zhang Family, if the Tianshi Mansion let me in later and say I am not a liar, how should I punish you? Think about it quickly, there is not much time left!"

"No if! You are a liar! Only I will punish you, it is impossible for you to punish me, you dare not!" Zhang Huier finally stopped.

"The two heavenly masters asked fellow Taoists to come to the mansion to drink tea and discuss Taoism. I was so negligent just now, please forgive me!" The tall and thin Taoist came out to pass the message after a while and let "Jian Wendao" enter.

Zhang Huier and everyone were stunned. They didn't even realize that this person had such great face. What's the origin? Is this really a paradise?

"Miss Zhang, I will punish you next time I meet you! Please wait with peace of mind!", "Jian Wen" made a grim face like Zhang Huier, imitating Zhang Huier's appearance!

Zhang Huier was so angry that she stamped her feet, "Why can a poor boy like him go in? What a big man he is? We talked all the way and didn't find out!"

"Miss, stop talking, otherwise the master will scold us again!"

Zhang Huier had to leave in disappointment.

"Jian Wendao" When he entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he immediately knelt down when he saw the two Heavenly Masters. The old Heavenly Master Zhang Shixiu had a peaceful face and a childish face. "Jian Wendao" "Fellow Taoist does not need to perform this great gift. Since it was arranged by Anding County Duke, you are your own people!"

Another current Zhang Tianshi looked a little rich, unlike a Taoist practitioner, but like an official of the court, but he still greeted him with a smile, "Fellow Taoist, this Shangqing Town practiced Taoism, but he had to withstand the test of the colorful world. How many people said that they came here to practice Taoism, but they were tempted by the outside world and had no intention of practicing Taoism at all. You can withstand the test on the first day of your visit, and there is indeed some Taoist fate. Taoism emphasizes the word fate, and never forces people who have no intention of asking Taoism to practice Taoism. By the way, Taoist name is Wendao, and I think it can be worthy of its name!"

"The two heavenly masters have been praised. I am just an ordinary person. I need to experience and practice in the world and constantly strengthen my heart of Tao. As the saying goes, you can hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening. Ask the Tao for a lifetime, ask the Tao for the Tao, and the Tao is endless!" The answer of "Just Ask the Tao" received the current heavenly master's nod.

The old master Zhang Shixiu shook his head, "Fellow Taoism, Tao is not something you want, no one can give you the Tao! Tao comes from the heart, it is realized by yourself, and it is also learned by you throughout your life! In the first half of my life, I thought that being kind and kind to help the people of the world was Tao. Later, I saw that these were not Tao, but God did these things with my hand. Now that I am old, I look at what I did before, it is Tao, and Tao is in our words and deeds!"

The current Tianshi Master Zhang Shouzhen was a little embarrassed and smiled, "Fellow Taoist, I don't have this realm now. If we can do what the old Tianshi Master said in this life, we will be content!"

The old master Zhang Shixiu patted the current master's shoulder. "Your qualifications are above me, but you have too many chores in the world, and this heart of Tao is tied to it. But it is also a helpless move. Getting along with the imperial court is also the place where Tao is, and someone must do it! The letter from Anding County Duke probably means to let this fellow Taoist follow me to practice Taoism. You have to follow the priest Zhang Bangchang to meet the emperor in Bianjing. The gifts you went this time are exhausting! I used to give strange flowers, grasses, and strange stones and beasts, but now I am afraid it won't work!"

After meeting with two masters Zhang Tian, ​​the old master Zhang Shixiu arranged "Jian Wendao" to stay in the other courtyard of the Tianshi Mansion.

The Taoist children of the Tianshi Mansion have particularly respect for this guest who is not astonishingly dressed in ordinary clothes. Since the Tianshi Mansion has been seated in Shangqing Town for hundreds of years, those who have been able to enter the Tianshi Mansion in this form are all figures who can achieve great things in the future.

"Jian Wendao" entered the room to rest. The Taoist boys brought tea, vegetarian meals and several Taoist scriptures, and they all left when they went out.

The current Tianshi Zhang Shouzhen asked his father Zhang Shixiu, "Father, can this person really do earth-shaking things like those who came before?"

Zhang Shixiu looked up at the stars in the sky. "The so-called big man, in these tens of millions of years, is just a crucian carp in the river! Why do you care whether he can do big things? In terms of qualifications, he is an ordinary person, without a special temper, without a particularly outstanding talent, but he is just a person who is easy to get along with! But these are just the appearances we see during the day. Either he is really ordinary or he is good at keeping his composure!"

Zhang Shouzhen also looked up at the sky, "I heard from the iron-broom Taoist at the door that when this person came, the daughter of Dazai Zhang Bangchang was also with him and beat him! It seems that this person's relationship is also very unusual! I am afraid that this person will cause trouble for our Tianshi Mansion!"

"Everything depends on the circumstances. An ordinary person can walk from the archway at the gate of Shangqing Town to the Tianshi Mansion within one day, without being deceived, raped or tempted, even Dazai's daughter turned a blind eye. This is probably the extraordinary place for this person, with a firm mind and a higher fortune than ordinary people!" The old Tianshi turned to Zhang Shouzhen and said in a more serious tone.

Zhang Shouzhen also remembered something and nodded, "Well, this person is indeed not simple. We almost deceived him. He used his ordinary modesty to cover up his martial arts and other talents. Just looking at the thousands of words in the letter from Anding County Duke, I don't think he can understand this person at all. What is said in the letter is all fake, and even his name is fake!"

"Since Zhao Wuji has entrusted him to me, he will naturally be of great use in the future. We should not be too persistent in his true origin. For eight hundred years, no one dares to touch our Tianshi Mansion until now. Didn't we rely on the word "Shouzhu"? By the way, a few years ago, it was a bit silly. The emperor intended to repair the Shangqing Zheng Palace in Shangqing Town. In order to avoid taboos, we still stayed in this Tianshi Mansion. A few days ago, Zhang Bangchang went to Shangqing Zheng Palace for a walk around. He was very satisfied. I wanted to be our father and son who entered Shangqing Zheng Palace, what would the emperor think of us?" The old Tianshi's eyes flashed a few times, looking at Zhang Shouzhen.

Zhang Shouzhen thought for a while, "Son understands that keeping the clumsy and hiding the power is the best way to survive! So this time, the child plans to bring the Tianshi Seal and some magic weapons from the Tianshi Mansion to dedicate it to the emperor!"

The old master nodded, "Yes, I know how to meet his preferences. I ask you, if the emperor gives you new master seal and magical instruments, will you pick it up or not?"

"Of course I can't accept the humble words!" Zhang Shouzhen replied with a smile, feeling that since he gave the respect to the emperor, there is no reason to get it back.

The old master shook his head, "You don't understand the emperor! If the emperor gives you back, you have to accept it. If you don't accept it, let the emperor bear the stigma of occupying the Tianshi Seal and the magical instruments of the Tianshi Mansion? Or do you think the emperor is not the true emperor? We are always subjects. Whether it is a temple or a temple, there can only be one supreme person, that is the emperor. If you forget this, no matter how much you keep your guard, it will be useless! Okay, you should rest early, and a few days will be auspicious day. Then you will return to Beijing with Zhang Bangchang. By the way, Zhang Bangchang will not take the initiative to ask us for things, so you have to spend more time giving it to him in advance."

When Zhang Shouzhen was traveling with his carriages and horses, Zhang Shixiu did not go to see him off, but took "Jian Wendao" to Longhu Mountain.

Along the way, the old master Zhang Shixiu climbed a rock and climbed a stone staircase and walked in front of him. "Jian Wendao" has to admire the fact that the Tianshi Mansion has been prosperous for 800 years.

Upon the Longhu Mountain, the old master shouted three times to the old Taoist temple on the mountain, "Brother Huang! Brother Huang! Brother Huang!"

It took a long time for someone to respond, "Shi Xiu, didn't you agree to enlighten me at the foot of the mountain, and leave the place on the mountain for me? Why did you disturb me again? I guess I'm here to cause trouble for me again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in a black Taoist robe came and fell gently in front of the old master Zhang Shixiu.

"Jian Wendao" was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Then he thought that it would be a fool.

"Brother Huang, what you expected is not bad. It was Zhao Wuji who asked us for something. You and I owe him favors and cannot refuse!" The old master said with apologetic tone and explained the situation to the people.

The man who was called Brother Huang by the old master of God has dark hair and a rosy complexion. It is impossible for him to be older than the old master of God Zhang Shixiu.
