The first volume of the historical novel "Asking the Impermanence: Conquering the Demon and Subduing the Demon Hand".
Chapter 51 There is no harm in lying on the green hills
Previous link: Volume I, Chapter 50
"The three red suns sleep freely, and the thousands of white clouds are relatively idle.
I am afraid that the false name will move Huaque, and it will be harmful to lie on the green hills. ”
I don't know how long it took, Qiu Chuji slowly opened his eyes and groaned softly.
"Qiu Zhenren is a good poem!" Wu Fu had been standing on the side for a long time, and at this time, seeing Qiu Chuji recover from his meditating state, he heard him chant such a poem casually, and hurriedly praised it.
In fact, whether the poem is good or not, Wu Fu didn't hear it for a while. If he was asked to write poetry, he might first think of "Lingyun's ambition" instead of "Baiyun is relatively idle", if everyone wanders around like Baiyun, then who will be an official? What else can he do if he is not an official?
However, no matter what Wu Fu himself thought, he thought that he should praise loudly in this situation.
"Play!" After listening to Wu Fu's praise, Qiu Chuji obviously didn't take it too seriously, but just smiled and said, "Let Lord Wu laugh." We monks used to lie up and down at will in the deep mountains, and when we looked up and saw the green mountains and white clouds, we felt very leisurely. Now that I have come to the capital with Lord Wu, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back for a while, and I should not be so idle!"
"The real person has already achieved great cultivation, and now is the time to use all his skills!" Wu Fu carefully tasted Qiu Chuji's poem just now, although the artistic conception is lofty, but after all, his heart is still outside the mountain, and he has no intention of entering the WTO, so he can't help but want to persuade two sentences.
Qiu Chuji lowered his head and groaned, trying to say something but didn't say anything in the end.
Yesterday's dream was still real in front of his eyes at this time, he couldn't see clearly whether it was the master or who it was, and vaguely felt that it was the figure of the master, but the voice was not very similar, the person was in the air, but the voice was unusually harsh: "Don't learn Lin Lingsu!"
Now this voice is still real and audible, so real that it makes Qiu Chuji's heart tremble. How peaceful his mind had always been, and he hadn't been so shaken in years!
Who is Lin Lingsu, Qiu Chuji naturally knows that the famous Taoist of the former dynasty who has been by the side of Song Huizong for many years, and who was once a hot person, although he is a Taoist priest, the official has achieved the Wenzhou Taoist military festival, but for various reasons, people in the world have mixed opinions about him, and there are all kinds of sayings in Taoism.
In all fairness, Qiu Chuji didn't want to learn from anyone from the previous dynasty, and he hadn't seen this former dynasty Gao Dao with his own eyes, so he didn't dare to comment rashly. However, the voice in the dream was very reproachful to himself, but so far, he had not seriously thought about this visit to Kyoto, and he was not enthusiastic about it at all.
He didn't want to get close to the imperial power and become an official, and he didn't think about fame or wealth, and "lying in the green mountains" has always been his favorite state. Before, he was urged and urged by Wu Fu with that holy decree, and it was really a helpless move to come to the capital, and when things came, he knew that he could not escape, let alone shirk, so he could only follow.
But after a dream last night, Qiu Chuji couldn't help but think seriously at this moment: "When I came to the capital, almost everyone watched me, what should I do to be more in line with the Tao?"
After thinking about it, he finally came to the conclusion that it is the duty of a Taoist to be able to keep the path of tranquility as before, but now that he has come to this Hongchen officialdom, the tranquility in his heart can still be maintained, and it is not a good thing to help more people by himself through this opportunity.
It's important for him to figure this out.
"Cultivation is complete, I'm still far away!" Seeing Wu Fu walking up to him, Qiu Chuji shook his clothes and stood up, while continuing Wu Fu's words just now: "When the ancestor was alive, he once hoped that 'the Four Seas Sect would be like a family', and before my senior brother Ma Yu also had the heart to carry forward the Quanzhen Sect, but I had no choice but to take a day off for a year! For so many years, my cultivation is not high, and my strength is limited, and all I have done is to build the Chongyang Ancestral Nunnery, and I am still far from fulfilling the last wish of the first master!"
On the way to the capital when Wu Fu accompanied Qiu Chuji, the two of them were busy on the road, and they were not familiar with each other at that time, so they didn't talk much. Now, it is the first time that Wu Fu has heard Qiu Chuji talk so much to himself, thinking about yesterday, he was promoted two levels in a row thanks to this Qiu Zhenren. Not to mention that Qiu Zhenren's cultivation is indeed high, as soon as he came to the capital, the enthusiastic attitude of the emperor and King Fu is incomparable to others, so Wu Fu has long made up his mind that he must have a good relationship with Qiu Chuji, so that it is possible to further make the official bigger.
With these thoughts as the foundation, Wu Fu's attitude was extremely enthusiastic at this time, he looked at Qiu Chuji and said: "Qiu Zhenren, if you want to say that you can realize the last wish of the ancestors, in fact, it is not difficult! I just don't know if the real person wants to listen to me?"
Qiu Chuji is a sincere person, and when he heard Wu Fu say this, of course he was very interested, and couldn't help asking: "Please Lord Wu to come and listen." ”
Wu Fu couldn't help but get closer to Qiu Chuji, and said very mysteriously: "Real person, don't you see that this opportunity is right in front of you? Think about it, the biggest thing in the world is the imperial power, you are so close to the imperial power now, as long as you make the emperor happy, isn't that what you want?"
Qiu Chuji listened, first Yile, and then said: "What Master Wu said is not bad at all, but I Qiu Chuji has been practicing for more than 20 years, and what I have always believed in is the word 'real'.
"Qiu Zhenren, it's the emperor who wants you to coax, and it's not just anyone else, you coax the emperor to be happy, what can you do?" Wu Fu saw that Qiu Chuji was a straight person, and couldn't help but remind him a little anxiously: "Even if you don't want to coax, don't mention those words that make people unhappy!"
"What do I say that would make people unhappy?" asked Qiu Chuji.
"It's those things that make the emperor quit sex and let the prince quit drinking, these people don't like to hear it!" Wu Fu said: "It's not good for us to make Long Yan angry!"
Saying this, Wu Fu couldn't help but think in his heart: If he really gets to that point, he may lose his head with it, and he still wants to be promoted to an official and make a fortune! The imperial power is so great, who can not be afraid? Not to mention the emperor, even if he annoys King Fu, he is not happy and moving his little finger is enough for us to see!
"What I said is right, it's for their good health, what can't be mentioned?" Qiu asked puzzled.
Wu Fu saw that Qiu Chuji still didn't follow his train of thought, he was so anxious that he stared at him, and almost jumped up on the spot: "My Qiu Dazhenren, look at us people, who dares to offend the Holy Lord and the prince?
Seeing that Wu Fu was in a hurry, Qiu couldn't help but stop, looked at Wu Fu and said, "Lord Wu, if people do something wrong, should they correct it?"
"Of course it should be!" Wu Fu said, this is a truth that children understand.
"Then the emperor and the prince have done something wrong, shouldn't they be corrected?" asked Qiu Chuji.
"It should be, but people are the emperor and the prince!" Wu Fu said, swallowing the second half of the sentence in a daze: "If they are wrong, let them go wrong, why should we persuade them in vain, if we have to fall down!"
Wu Fu also wanted to continue to persuade, but it happened that the abbot of Wanning Palace sent someone to invite Qiu Chuji and Wu Fu to come over for breakfast, so Wu Fu had to stop and accompany Qiu Chuji to the front hall to eat.
Wu Fu has not eaten in the temple of Gongguan except in the hall of Qingsongguan, and when he enters the hall of Wanning Palace, although the huge hall is full of people, it is silent.
When the abbot saw them enter, he bowed and then invited them to their special place and left. In that case, he would not eat with them here, let alone chat with them during the meal.
Wu Fu was not used to the appearance of a Taoist priest at all, but he was very accustomed to seeing Qiu's appearance, so he took the meal and sat quietly at the table, and ate slowly.
Wu Fu had no choice but to go and get the food, wanting to take this opportunity to persuade a few more words, but the surroundings were quiet, and it was really not suitable to open his mouth to speak, so he had to endure it and silently keep thinking while eating.
Can he not be in a hurry? He has been in a small county town for a long time, and he finally came to the capital and came to the emperor's side, and the position of wealth and nobility is almost within reach, and Qiu Chuji is the pillar that he can most rely on to reach out and get wealth.
He must promptly let Qiu change his mind, and he can't just let his own temperament come so far! Officialdom is like a battlefield, and he is not the only one staring at high-ranking officials, and if he is not careful, he may be trampled under the feet of others! Wealth, official reputation, and fame, which one is so easy to come by, how can it be obtained without careful planning? !
Wu Fu was thinking like this, and he ate tastelessly.
Qiu Chuji sat next to Wu Fu, like no one else, still chewing and eating the food at hand slowly, as if every bite was worth taking seriously, and eating extremely carefully.
The messengers brought by Da Zhou, Lao Qin, and Wu Fu sat next to Wu Fu, and they were all very uncomfortable eating quietly at this time.
After eating a few bites, Da Zhou felt that the atmosphere was too dull, so he couldn't help but raise his head and ask Wu Fu softly: "My lord, will we all eat here in the future?"
"Shut up!" Wu Fuzheng was not angry, tilted his eyes at Da Zhou, and said.
"Hey!" Da Zhou didn't dare to say anything.
