Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2682 Practice Dojo Shura Field

   Qiao Bing, as one of the founders of the Five-Party Catholicism, is a bit lost.

  In other words, not just a little, but very floating.

  As the pope, um, maybe he is just the pope that Qiao Bian thinks he is. After all, the official position is just the high priest.

  But he is indeed the biggest official and the biggest leader in the Wufang Dojo here.

   At the very beginning, Qiao Bu may have understood his position in his heart, but after a long time, he forgot.

Especially in the Wufang Dojo, no matter whether it is the Daoist or the Xiaodaotong, they all respect him, and when they meet, they just stand aside and pay respects. When covering the sky with one hand, he gradually forgot how he got this tripod, and also forgot whether his sky was big or small.

  Is what Chen Ming said wrong?

   Not really.

   And everyone knows whether what Chen Ming said is right or not.

  For example, Dao Tong’s daily diet doesn’t know when it started to get worse…

  For example, the shoes and socks that were supposed to be distributed once every six months, and the priestly robes that were distributed once a year, now have to be applied for and declared before they can be claimed, and it will take more than half a year to be issued after the application...

  He suggested that the Wufang Catholic Church should be diligent and thrifty, and truly do something for the poor people, instead of giving out a few pancakes that are not enough to eat on the surface...

   Especially those sets of clothes on Qiao Bing's body, the Taoist robes inlaid with gold and silver threads, I am afraid that the people in a village can eat for a year!

   Such a suggestion, is it wrong?

  Chen Ming didn't quite understand.

  He stood up and offered his opinion.

   Moreover, it was Qiao Bing's request that everyone raise their opinions.

Qiao also presided over an internal meeting of all ashrams, saying that all Taoists can express their opinions and raise issues in the five-party Catholic ashram. All people criticize and give pointers, so as to achieve harmony and co-progress in the five-party God's dojo, and practice Taoism.

  So, Chen Ming believed it at the time, and he stood up...

   Then Chen Ming felt that something was not quite right.

  Didn’t Qiao also say that he should listen to the voices of the people? Do you want to get closer to the people? So how can the high priest wear a robe worth at least 400,000 yuan, so how can he get close to the common people?

  It is said that everyone can get the favor of the five gods and feel the glory of the five gods. As a result, most of the people in the dojo are exhausted and look pale. What kind of grace is this?

If everyone is like this, it's not a big deal, but there are always some people, a small number of people, who can have meat to eat and new clothes to change at all times, but others can't even see oily flowers. If not, it is difficult to even find a piece of cloth to patch.

  Before Chen Ming made a suggestion, Qiao Bing smiled kindly and gently.

   After Chen Ming made a suggestion, Qiao Bing was still smiling, but a little stiff.

  But Qiao Bing's subordinates all changed their faces, showing the face they never showed outside believers.

  Qiao certainly didn't like these petty gains, but his subordinates were different.

  Qiao doesn’t like it, these people do.

  Qiao didn’t think it mattered to eat more meat and less soup, but his subordinates would break their heads for a piece of meat and a mouthful of soup!

  So Qiao doesn't think it's a big deal, at least he doesn't seem to be a big deal, is it worth Chen Ming deliberately embarrassing him in public?

  Since Chen Ming made Qiao Bing feel bad, Qiao Bing wanted to make Chen Ming feel bad.

  Qiao didn't even need to use his hands, he only needed to move his mouth, and his subordinates would naturally arrange the rest.

   Not even his men have to do it themselves...

  A Taoist priest in the same room who was about to go out to eat breakfast, saw Chen Ming came back, and sneered: "Daozhang Chen has worked hard! In the past two days, the people have praised Chen Daochang as a good man! I see, no one in this dojo can compare with Daoist Chen for his diligence! 』

  His voice was very loud, and many people around heard it, and someone immediately echoed, clapping their hands and laughing: "Chen Daochang! What a nice person! 』

  Good man!

  Good people deserve good rewards!

   Great fortune!

  Hearing these words, Chen Ming's face became even more ugly, and his footsteps paused slightly, as if he wanted to justify something, but in the end he endured it, didn't say anything, just went in and closed the door.

The people around saw Chen Ming like this, so they didn't continue to laugh. After all, they sneered a few times and made some comments along the way. There was nothing wrong with it. Go back and forth to the main hall.

  Are these people Chen Ming's enemies?

no.

  Are these people bad people?

   is not counted.

   So these people are Qiao Bing's subordinates?

   It's not the same, Qiao Bing doesn't have so many people under his command, these are just some ordinary Taoist boys, Taoist priests and Taoist priests.

  They were originally the same people as Chen Ming, but under Qiao Bing's subordinates, they were all ordinary people.

  But these ordinary people did not stand on Chen Ming's side. Instead, they mumbled to Chen Ming who had raised their opinions, thinking that he was too picky...

  『The steward didn’t eat the corn from Daoist Chen’s family. Isn’t this from the top hair? As for what? 』

  『It’s not easy to hold a grand ceremony, after all, there must be a scene, right? 』

  『Isn’t everyone like this? As long as Chen Daochang is special, can't bear it? 』

  『Do you all think Daoist Chen is hypocritical? Having said that, I am relieved. 』

  『What else is there to say? Hasn't it been like this for so many years? 』

  『If you have the ability, don’t do it in the dojo! 』

  『It’s just…』

If you can ridicule, insult, and ridicule Chen Ming, you can get more benefits from Qiao Bing's subordinates, such as getting more cloth and getting an extra bowl of rice, then whether Chen Ming is really good or bad doesn't seem to matter that much. important.

  When you are not hungry, you have the confidence to get angry and stand tall angrily, but when you are hungry, you can only take it with a shy face and say something really sweet.

  It smells so good...

  As for what Chen Ming said before, is it useful?

Useless.

   Nothing has changed.

  Then since it's useless, it's natural to focus on the real fragrance in front of you first. Who cares about the truth?

  Is this wrong?

  What's wrong with this?

  Chen Ming entered the room, his eyes and body couldn't help sticking to the bunk...

"Snapped! 』Chen Ming slapped himself, then shook his head.

  Although he really wanted to lie down and sleep, he still couldn't sleep. He just changed his coat in a hurry, and washed his face in a hurry, so that he was a little more energetic, and hurried to the hall for morning class.

  If you are late, you will be fined again.

  The sound of bells, drums, clouds and boards in the dojo rang, and then there was the sound of reciting scriptures.

  Usually, this voice would make Chen Ming feel peaceful, but now Chen Ming is not in such a mood at all, he just feels a buzzing pain in his head.

   Qiao He is in the dojo of the Five-Fang Catholic Church, in the hall where God is enshrined, as the leader of the recitation, doing morning classes.

   Half an hour passed, and the morning class ended.

Standing behind Qiao Bing, Mi Mi, the supervisor, said with a smile: "The sound of the immortal recitation can cleanse our mortal bodies. It is really slow and not stagnant, and the rapid sound is not sticky. Singing and drinking, it is like the Divine Comedy of the Nine Heavens, which makes people grow." It can be said that it is our blessing to cultivate one's mind, cultivate one's mind, and listen to the reciting of the immortals every day...』

  『Yes, yes. It's really kind of the immortal to wait for me...』

"yes…"

Qiao He stroked his beard slightly, took the face towel from the little boy beside him, wiped his face, and then wiped his hands, then returned the face towel, nodded with the people around him, and walked forward .

   After Qiao Bing entered the dining hall, all the Taoists saluted Qiao Bing together.

  Qiao returned the salute with a slight nod, and then walked to the front seat exclusively for him. After sitting down, all the Taoists sat down one by one. The Taoist boy and Huogong Taoist were responsible for delivering the meals, and Qiao Bing and several supervisors served the sacrificial wine on a special plate, while ordinary Taoists each had a big bowl and a soup bowl for themselves. Then the Taoist Huogong pushed the wooden frame and gave everyone a spoonful of vegetables, a spoonful of rice, and a spoonful of soup.

   When he arrived in front of Chen Ming, he didn't know if it was because the hands of the Taoist Huogong were shaking, or it was on purpose. Anyway, not only was at least half of the dishes missing, but a lot of soup was spilled outside...

  Chen Ming was silent for a moment, didn't say anything, didn't get angry, just ate silently. There are few things, and eating is fast, and it doesn't take long to finish eating.

  Chen Ming stacked up the bowls, put the wooden chopsticks and wooden spoons in the bowls, and got up to leave the dining hall. Normally, there is another round of chances to add more meals. People who are not full can ask for more meals during this round, but for Chen Ming, it is better to go back to catch up on sleep earlier, otherwise he does not know that he will eat more. Won't fall over while chanting in the afternoon...

   Just as Chen Ming was heading for the back door along the aisle, he saw Youdao boy rushing to the front of the bridge, obviously something urgent. Chen Ming stopped for half a step, then continued to walk back with his head lowered. He has lost interest in these extraneous things now, and only wants to go back to rest earlier.

   Qiao Bing, who was in front of the dining hall, frowned after hearing Dao Tong's report.

  Dali Temple engaged in Zhang Shi?

  What is this mad dog doing in Wufang God?

  However, Qiao did not dare to neglect the people of Dali Temple, so he stood up and went to the front hall to welcome them.

   Outside the door of the Wufang Catholic Dojo, there were three or four forcemen standing, all of whom were followers of Zhang Shi. The veteran welcoming guest was at the door of the dojo, chatting with Zhang Shi.

   Qiao Bing's eyes rested on Zhang Shi for a while, and then he shook his smiling face, "God bless you!" I've seen Zhang engaged! If you have something to do, you just need to be informed by the official, so why bother to come and go? 』

  Zhang Shi also bowed his hands in salute, and then said with a smile, "Haha, God bless... I am also a believer of the five gods. If I want to save even this little effort, wouldn't I be ashamed of heaven and earth?" 』

It seems that there is no problem with these words, but it seems that most of the words cannot be pondered, and the taste will change if you think about it, Qiao Bing heard Zhang Shi's words, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, and looked up and down. After a while.

Qiao Bing had no contact with Zhang Shi before, but he had heard a little about Zhang Shi. Looking at Zhang Shi now, he has a short beard on his lips and a long, straight beard under his jaw. His face is clear and elegant, and his eyes are shining With a shrewd look, a respectful and polite attitude, his attitude and words are somewhat humble, but it gives people a feeling of arrogance.

  Qiao invited Zhang Shi and sat down in the living room.

   Zhang Shi first warmed up the scene with a few greetings, and then quickly said with a smile: "God bless the five parties, peace and joy." Needless to say, Master Qiao enjoys God’s favor, even ordinary people like me feel deeply the happiness of this world, the peace and prosperity of all, and the long-lasting blessings...』

   Qiao chuckled twice, neither saying yes nor no, but couldn't help but cursed in his stomach, what does it mean that I have to enjoy the favor of God, it seems like I have gained a lot of benefits...

Ok?

  This kid...

   What does this mean?

  Do you want me to do him any favors?

   If this is true, wouldn't it be a solid foundation for me to reap the benefits?

"The gods of the five directions, the blessings of the four directions, the luck of the blessings, and the development of the divine way, it can be said that everyone is correcting the way, and the world can have eternal peace..." Zhang Shi talked eloquently, as if it was specifically for the purpose of discussing the teachings of the five gods Come average.

  Qiao responded with a sentence from time to time, but he was constantly trying to figure out Zhang Shi's reason for coming.

  『I boast that my practice is not weaker than others, but it is a pity that I have not been able to comprehend the Dao. Zhang Shi continued, "One person's cultivation is more or less a night walk alone. If there is a little epiphany, it is just the light of a firefly, and it disappears in an instant. It is a pity." Therefore, I have a merciless request, and I hope the real person will not take it as a crime to bother me...』

  When Zhang Shi said this, he said eagerly: "I am deeply immersed in the vulgar world, and cannot be inspired by spirituality." But seeing that the high-rise room here is surrounded by auspicious aura, because it is a bold request, I am allowed to enter the residence below, and practice the five gods with the Taoist priests...』

  『This, this...』 Rao Shiqiao felt that his thinking was very open and his adaptability was good, but after hearing Zhang Shi's request, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

   What is this for?

   Come to me to practice?

   Qiao Bing frowned slightly, looked up at Zhang Shi, and saw that his expression was full of eager anticipation, as if he was sincerely looking forward to it, but Qiao Bing was quite suspicious in his heart.

   I heard that when Zhang Shi was in Sanfu Hedong, he was ruthless and beheaded many children of the noble families involved in the case, and his hands were stained with a lot of blood, so there must be many innocent souls. If it is said that it leads to some fear of gods and ghosts, there are several possibilities, but is it not possible to worship the five gods at home? Do you have to come to the dojo?

   If it is said that it is only for cultivating the Tao, Qiao does not believe it.

   Then what is it for?

  Thinking about it this way, Qiao Bing felt a warning sign in his heart. This time, I am afraid that the comer is not a good person.

  Cultivating Taoism and cultivating things is inherently mysterious, so you can say whatever you want.

Thinking of this, Qiao didn't really want Zhang Shi to live in the dojo and do some practice, so he said bluntly: "Zhang Zong, in this dojo, all people are outsiders, and none of them have official positions. I work hard every day, I have to get up before dawn, I have to rest when it is dark, and I have to work hard so that I can eat. The daily meal is no more than rough rice and light soup, and the rest at night is shared in the same bunk... Zhang is a noble body, I am afraid... Somewhat inconvenient. What's more, if you are devout to the gods of the five directions, whether in the dojo or at home, practice is all based on sincerity, and there is no difference in the place. Zhang Zong can practice at home, and he can also get the protection of the five gods. If Zhang Zong feels that his home is not peaceful, he can also give Zhang Zong a few talismans, and post them in the five directions of the room, and he can get the protection of the five directions. Enjoying peace and joy is also...」

  Qiao and said for a while, the purpose is to tell you, boy, whether you really want to practice or just use practice as an excuse, anyway, don’t come to my territory to make trouble.

  Zhang Shi chuckled and said, "Renren Qiao really is a real person and doesn't tell lies!" No problem! I heard that practice is to endure hardship, so that you can appear sincere! I have already asked my boss for ten days of leave, just to practice here! If it is a small difficulty, it is timid and fearful, so how can you take on a big responsibility? Daoist Qiao doesn't need to worry, and he is just an ordinary Taoist! If food and clothing are still needed, Qiao Zhenren said bluntly, how much will it cost? 』

Qiao Bing took a mouthful of saliva, and when it came to this point, he could only agree to come down, and called the sacrificial wine in charge of the inner courtyard, and then asked the sacrificial wine to lead Zhang Shi to the inner courtyard area, where he changed into a bath and clothes, and changed into a Taoist robe , began the so-called "practice".

  Qiao sent Zhang Shi into the inner courtyard with a smile, then turned around and went to his own courtyard. Since Zhang Shi said that he wanted to endure hardship, it is of course impossible for Qiao Bing to invite Zhang Shi to live in his yard. It must be to meet Zhang Shi's needs and let him "endure hardship"...

  Qiao sat in the yard together, thought for a moment, then asked someone to call the supervisor, and gave some orders in a low voice.

   Qiao Bing guessed correctly, Zhang Shi just wanted to come to Qiao and make trouble.

   Zhang Shi got some things in his hands, but those things cannot be used as direct evidence against Qiao Bing himself.

   Therefore, Zhang Shi wanted to find some direct evidence of the crime. Even if he couldn't find any evidence in the dojo, it would be best to get one or two witnesses, so that he could bite Qiao to death all at once.

  Zhang Shi changed into a Taoist robe, removed his crown, and only used a wooden hairpin. It still looks a little bit different, but the rosy complexion is still somewhat different from the ordinary Taoists around.

  In the afternoon, when the evening class was approaching, Zhang Shi had just stood behind the queue accompanied by sacrificial wine, and the servant brought by Zhang Shi shouted loudly: "My lord! Should you put your official robe and official seal here, or take it back to Dali Temple and put it there first? 』

  Zhang Shi suddenly became angry, and slapped his servant, "Bastard! I am not engaged in Dali Temple now! I am an ordinary Taoist who came to practice! Official robes and official seals are taken away! Come pick me up in ten days, don't disturb my practice! roll! 』

  The servant groaned repeatedly, then left with his head down.

Zhang Shi turned around, ignoring Jijiu who was sweating in a hurry, and pretended not to see the twitching corner of Jijiu's mouth, he smiled and cupped his hands to all Taoist priests, big and small, and said loudly, "My lord, ah, no No, I'm just a cultivator, everyone, don't take me as an official of Dali Temple, I'm here to practice! It's really just practice! 』
