Chapter 288 Dao Servant
Some things, after learning more about them, are worse than never to hear about them.
After listening to Yuan Mao’s retelling, Hu Guiyang became more and more like a fog: the truth was clearly right next to him, almost within reach, but he just couldn’t see clearly, and he couldn’t even tell whether it was an enemy or a friend, attack or defense, or distance or near...
Ren Liu'er couldn't see clearly. She could have premonitions of danger, but she didn't know what the danger looked like. She swore to Yuan Mao that she had no longer concealed her life and had entrusted her life to him.
Hu Guiyang no longer dared to accept Ren Liuer's remarks as casually as before, but this time it was indeed different from the previous few times. Most of the content was not guided at all, but Ren Liuer said it himself.
"That's it. I'll go to find the old Taoist tomorrow. What should I do if you go to meet the immortal Wei Baihu in the valley?"
"Of course I'm going to follow me." Hu Guiyang couldn't think of a way to get rid of this persistent follower, and felt it was unnecessary.
"Go and rest, maybe everything will turn around tomorrow." Hu Guiyang stretched, he really wanted to go to bed.
Yuan Mao left and admired Hu Guiyang very much. Although he believed that his intelligence was not inferior to this person, he could not be so calm and composed when facing difficulties. He was obviously dead everywhere, but he still did not give up hope.
The wind was rustling outside the house, and there was no sign of people. The Yiren on the night was not hiding where he was hiding. Yuan Mao walked along the corridor to his room. Along the way, he felt that there was always a look behind his head, which made him be careful step by step, and walked like walking on thin ice for a short period of time.
After entering the house, he walked every corner and couldn't rest assured. He lit the oil lamp and confirmed that there were no outsiders. He turned off the lights and went to bed. He didn't fall asleep for a long time. He admired Hu Guiyang more and more. At the same time, he understood why no one wanted to live in the backyard and why Ren Liuer felt danger so early.
In another room, Hu Guiyang fell asleep quickly. Before Yuan Mao even closed his eyes, he was already snoring. Even if the sky fell and the earth was sinking, he couldn't wake him up.
The next morning, in front of Wei Ying, Hu Guiyang said: "Yuan Mao, go and invite the old Taoist to come to my place to have a drink tonight."
"I just drank it yesterday." Yuan Mao pretended to persuade.
"If you don't have fun, you are too gentle to drink. You must be an experienced master to be evenly matched with me."
Yuan Mao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Okay."
After Yuan Mao left, Hu Guiyang walked back and forth in the hall a few times, and said to Wei Ying, who was sitting aside and doing nothing, "Let's go."
"Where to go?" Wei Ying was stunned.
“Escort agency.”
"Do you have something to send away?"
"I'll go find someone." Hu Guiyang did not explain much, and went out to ask Jiang and Zheng to prepare horses.
Wei Ying didn't ask and left as soon as he got on the horse. Anyway, his task was to follow closely. As long as he was not dumped, he would be accomplished.
Shen Qianyuan was at home and immediately came out after receiving the notice. He bowed from afar and smiled, "Why is Captain Hu free today?" Then he turned his eyes to Wei Ying.
"This is Wei Ying and Wei, a hundred households in the West Factory. This is a famous dart king Shen Qianyuan in the capital."
"Wow, I must never think of the word "六后" as a word. I just met a few friends and made a living in the escort. Wei Baihu was very happy when he came here. How dare I ask Wei Baihu's uncle is Wei Shaoguan? "
Wei Ying was very surprised and immediately bowed: "It's my uncle."
"Over the years, Wei Shaojian has given many jobs to the Beijing escort business, and everyone is grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts."
Wei Ying was very happy when she heard this, and she was happier than being flattered. Her attitude immediately eased a lot. She admired Chen Qianyuan, which was very much like meeting her.
Hu Guiyang was neglected and couldn't help but sniff: "What kind of eunuchs in the palace would use escort businesses? Isn't the government station enough?"
Wei Ying and Chen Qianyuan looked at Hu Guiyang at the same time, as if they heard an extremely stupid question. No one answered it. They remained silent for a moment and started chatting enthusiastically.
After waiting for a while, Hu Guiyang slapped his forehead and smiled, "I understand. Wei Shao is transporting personal belongings and is unwilling to use the government. Wei Baihu, your family must be very rich."
Wei Ying said lightly: "It's just to send some specialties from the capital to my hometown to my relatives and friends. Where can I get the money?"
Chen Qianyuan winked and signaled Hu Guiyang not to ask questions again. At the same time, he smiled and said, "I am also confused. I am actually standing at the gate chatting. How can I treat you like this? Please come in and ask me."
Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I'll come to find someone you want, just leave for me."
"I want someone? Who?"
"You know who it is."
Chen Qianyuan widened his eyes in surprise, "I don't have the ability to predict the future."
Hu Guiyang stared at Chen Qianyuan for a while, "Zhang Wuchen."
Chen Qianyuan showed a sudden enlightenment, "Old Zhang, he is not here, I can send someone to call him. What's the matter with Captain Hu?"
"This old boy owes me a few answers." Hu Guiyang refused to say in detail.
Chen Qianyuan didn't ask much, and immediately sent someone to find Zhang Wuchen, and at the same time he invited two Jinyiwei to talk to the hall. Hu Guiyang insisted on refusing, "You two chat slowly, I really don't feel like this."
Hu Guiyang refused to walk in, so Wei Ying had to stay at the gate and chatted with Chen Qianyuan about some people he knew and laughed out loud from time to time.
Although Chen Qianyuan was a native of the capital, he went to Jiangnan in his early years and returned to the capital last year. He had a wide range of people and could talk to Wei Ying. When talking about someone, he used either a nickname or a preface. Hu Guiyang stood aside, and only had envy and could not interfere in the conversation at all.
Zhang Wuchen rushed over quickly, ran into the gate, saluted Chen Qianyuan first, then came to Hu Guiyang, and bowed, "Person Hu is looking for me?"
"Well, come with me."
"Where to go?" Zhang Wuchen was a little surprised and a little panicked.
"Anyway, it's not the Jinyiwei." Hu Guiyang smiled, knowing that this person is most afraid of the Jinyiwei prison. "Go back to Zhao's house with me, I have something to ask."
“Can’t you ask here?”
Chen Qianyuan stepped forward, "Old Zhang, just go there. Everyone is friends. Can Captain Hu still harm you? He is here in person, you are going to stop him. If he sends a man and several tokens to come over to seduce people, how dare you say no?"
Zhang Wuchen immediately smiled and said, "I dare not. I am a friend of the Captain Hu, so I dare to ask more questions. I can leave at any time. No matter what Captain Hu asks, I know everything and say everything."
"Then tell me about Xue Siniang from Magpie Hutong." Hu Guiyang asked with a smile.
Zhang Wuchen's old face turned red and regretted that he was talking too much when he was in Yunyang. "There was no contact for a long time. The woman got married again. I focused on practicing Taoism and stayed away from the beauty of wine... Uh, stop the beauty first, then stop the wine. Take it slowly, take it slowly."
Chen Qianyuan sent the three of them outside the gate and said to Hu Guiyang: "People Hu have kind to me. No matter whether you want people or things, I have no problem here."
"It's enough to ask for people." The two bowed to each other, and they all understood in their hearts that Hu Guiyang was trying to see the immortal in the valley, and Chen Qianyuan would go to pass the message.
When he returned to Zhao's house, Fan Dajian had already arrived first. When he saw Hu Guiyang, he shouted that he wanted to have dinner. When he saw Zhang Wuchen, he was stunned. He stepped forward and grabbed his collar, "Which palace is a Taoist priest in which palace, should you wear Taoist robe? Is there a certificate issued by the imperial court?"
Zhang Wuchen immediately showed his fear and surrendered, "Don't calm down. I am a wild Taoist priest, a wild Taoist priest, no palace to take in, and no certificates. The Taoist robe is worn and played. If the real person doesn't like it, I will tear it up now."
"You can wear it, just remember your identity." Fan Dajian was soft but not hard, let go of his hand and said to Hu Guiyang: "Why did you find him?"
"It's not your business, so let's talk to Mrs. Hua, Zhang Wuchen, come with me."
Except for Wei Ying, no one else came with him.
"Zhang Wuchen, you just said we are friends, are you sincere?"
"Of course I am sincere. If I can make friends like Hu Xiaowei, I will die without regrets."
"Haha, you weren't so good at talking when you were driving a train. Practicing Taoism is indeed good for you."
"There is no need to express true feelings..."
"Stop, stop talking, I want to ask you a few things."
"Person Hu, I must have said everything..."
"Stop again, I haven't asked yet." Hu Guiyang walked to the table, poured only a cup of tea, took a sip, and left Zhang Wuchen and Wei Ying aside. After a while, he turned around and asked, "What path are you practicing?"
"Hmm?" Zhang Wuchen didn't understand.
"Zhengyi? Quanzhen? Shangqing? Taiyi? Or some evil way?"
"Oh, ask this, my independent sect does not belong to any Taoist sect in the world, it is called the only Dao Tianji Sect, and I am a small Taoist servant."
"Tianji Gate... The purpose of your practice is to board the ship and ascend to the sky one day, or to gain divine power and stay in the human world?"
"Since he is a servant of Tao, he is the only one who obeys the master's destiny, and does not seek ascension or divine power. But he seeks that the ship of Tao can come again and enlighten the world in ignorance."
"The Heavenly Mechanical Ship is the Heavenly Mechanical Ship. Have you even changed your name?"
"The Taoist ship is a honorary title."
"Well, how many believers are there in your school?"
"Not too many, about a hundred people, they are all fellow travelers who have been to Yunyang. There is no way, but the road boats are not seen at the end. Most people in the world are not lucky enough to see each other and have no chance to see them with their own eyes, so they are unwilling to believe our words."
Hu Guiyang pointed at Wei Ying, "His luck is not enough?"
Wei Ying smiled and said, "Don't mention me, you guys have Q&A, I'll just listen."
Zhang Wuchen took the opportunity to ask, "I heard that Captain Hu has lost his divine power?"
“The news spread quite quickly.”
"We are aware of the ship, so of course we are more concerned about this kind of thing."
"Does there any alien in your sect?"
"No." Zhang Wuchen said affirmatively, "We want to attract Yiren to join, but unfortunately they are too proud and do not want to act as Taoist servants and refuse our invitation."
Hu Guiyang said to Wei Ying: "They actually envious of Yiren very much and are willing to pay any price for it, so I asked him for a question."
Wei Ying nodded to show that she understood.
Zhang Wuchen explained: "I envy Yi Ren, who doesn't envy? But the first rule of Tianji Sect is to be willing to be a servant. If you cannot, no matter how strong the power is, you will not be able to earn it."
"Your requirements are quite high."
"It sounds like Gao, it's actually very simple. Anyone who sees the ascension of the Taoist ship with his own eyes will naturally become a Taoist servant."
Hu Guiyang smiled, "Give me some names."
"What's the name?"
"You have been trying to win over Yi Ren by the name of Yi Ren? You don't even know who Yi Ren is."
Zhang Wuchen's face changed slightly, "This...it's not my duty to win over Yi Ren."
“Your duty is to ‘know everything and say everything’.”
Zhang Wuchen had no choice but to reply: "Tong Feng, Zhao Lixing, Xiao Shaxiong..."
"Don't mention the names I know, and not to mention the only few strange people in the world."
Zhang Wuchen was stunned for a while, and finally said, "Actually, Master Hu doesn't need to ask me. After the Lantern Festival, a large number of Yiren will come to join you. The news has spread, saying that only you can keep Yiren safe."
Hu Guiyang suddenly understood many things.
