Chapter 115 Whale swallow(1/2)
The light of the whale oil lamp in the tent is as bright as day.
Su Dawei looked at Ye Fashan.
Only at this time can we have the opportunity to examine it carefully.
In recent years, it was the first time he was in Liaodong until he returned to Chang'an that he sat against Ye Fashan.
He found that Ye Fashan was a little different.
Ye Fashan is no longer young in his fifties this year.
His appearance was a little more windy than in previous years, and his temples were stained with frosty whiteness.
But this did not reduce his charm, but instead became more and more immortal.
Of course, the Taoist priest's forehead was also higher, and the retraction of his hairline seemed to be a common problem for all human beings.
The shiny forehead looks like the birthday star in the painting.
It also seems to be showing "I'm getting stronger".
The biggest change comes from his clothes.
Compared with the simple Taoist robe in the past, today's Yefa crane robe has a large robe with an embroidered Bagua diagram, and a head with a yin and yang, a wu high crown.
A school has the feeling of a righteous sage.
As if he noticed Su Dawei looking at him, Ye Fashan smiled slightly, his eyebrows stretched out, and he rose like a willow leaf: "I am not because I am with the Queen of Martial Arts, but because I have inherited the position of Heavenly Master."
"Tianshi?"
Su Dawei was a little surprised.
Only after listening to Ye Fashan's explanation did he understand.
Ye Fashan, whose courtesy name is Daoyuan, and whose nickname is Luofu Zhenren.
He was from Kuacang County, Kuazhou, and later generations of Songyang County, Zhejiang.
Ye Huiming, the governor of Shezhou, was his father.
At the same time, Ye Fashan recently inherited the Taoist tradition and was the Taoist talisman Tianshi Master Maoshan Sect.
"So Master Ye...hehe, Master Ye is Maoshan Sect."
Su Dawei couldn't help but feel respectful.
He has heard of the Three Mountains Talismans, the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master, and the Maoshan School Heavenly Master.
"It's just a title, mainly to pass on talismans and benefit the people."
Ye Fashan used one hand to make jokes and looked compassionate.
In history, Ye Fashan studied under Mao Jun in Tiantai, Zhao Yuanyang in Qingcheng and Wei Shanjun in Songshan, and was disgusted with talismans and impeachment of ghosts and gods.
He experienced five dynasties, including Emperor Gaozong, Wu Zetian, Emperor Zhongzong, Emperor Ruizong and Emperor Xuanzong throughout his life.
Those who carry forward Taoist music, inherit Taoist veins, and suppress monks and Buddhas.
He is deeply favored by the emperor.
He was awarded the title of Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, the Minister of the Honglu, the Minister of the Lu, and the Duke of Yue, and the title of "Yuan Zhen Guarding the Country" to build the "Chunhe Immortal Palace".
By the time he died in the tenth year of Kaiyuan, he lived to be one hundred and seven years old and was posthumously awarded the title of governor of Yuezhou.
In the 27th year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang personally wrote the "Shisattva Stele" to commemorate him.
As a Taoist genius, being favored by the emperor to this extent is really a culmination.
Su Dawei naturally didn't know the tricks.
He just felt strange that Ye Fashan came to find him.
"Master Ye Tian, haven't you told me about your purpose yet?"
"In recent years, our school has been able to gain a foothold in Chang'an thanks to General Manager Su."
Ye Fashan did not directly explain the purpose of the visit, but turned around and said something else.
"I?"
"That year, you asked me to help you make nitrification and ice, and it was a blessing for this school to make a living. My delegation can gain a profit in Chang'an. Now there are two Taoist temples and hundreds of disciples. I also have the trust of Empress Wu. All of these are the face of General Su."
"Oh, it's this."
Su Dawei suddenly realized: "These are just a thrust of hands, and Master Ye also helped me a lot. When I was expeditioning the Western Turks, Master Ye traveled thousands of miles to escort Nie Su's kindness, which is unforgettable."
"Shame."
Ye Fashan nodded and smiled, "It's all old things. I didn't expect that General Manager Su will always remember... I came here this time because I remembered something, and I need to remind General Manager Su in particular."
"Please say it."
"About the Tubo envoy."
"Um?"
Ye Fashan's words made Su Dawei feel energetic: "What did Master Ye discover?"
"Our Maoshan Sect is proficient in talismans and specializes in treating ghosts and gods. To put it bluntly, as a celestial master, he wants to help the people in the world suppress the weirdness and restore the people to live peacefully. In the past, Zhang Daoling, the Tianshi Master of Longhu Mountain, entered Sichuan and destroyed six major demon kings and eight major ghost commanders. These are actually weird."
"All strange?"
Su Dawei couldn't help but feel creepy when he listened to these familiar and completely different stories.
Of course he has heard of Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi, the story of Longhu Mountain.
But the version he knew was that after Zhang Daoling entered Shu, he used talismans and elixirs to cure local people, and also established the Five Dogs of Rice Sect.
I also heard that when Zhang Tianshi entered Sichuan, he fought with the eight ghost commanders and ghost soldiers to eliminate the plague disease caused by the ghost commanders.
These have always been stories.
But now I heard a different version, a more realistic version from Ye Fashan's mouth.
"Taoism is a sect that emerged locally. It is not like the monks in India who talk about the mystery of nature. We Taoists only seek this life and only talk about pragmatism, which means we should contribute to the peace of the people."
Ye Fashan stopped and continued: "Because the Tianshi masters of various sects have fought with strange things over the years, the Maoshan Sect of our sect has accumulated a lot of discourses and deeds about strange things. I was shocked when I saw the strange Tubo that appeared in the daytime."
Hiss ~
Su Dawei couldn't help but gasp.
He suddenly remembered.
It has always been a human being during the day and a strange thing at night.
When Chang'an was at its peak, it was also chosen to travel at night.
This time, the Tubo envoy turned into a snow-domastiff, but it was carried out during the day.
It's indeed contrary to common sense.
If the strangeness during the day can appear at any time, then the consequences...
"After I returned, I checked the records in the sect and gained some gains, so I came to inform General Su."
Ye Fashan's eyes flashed with deep light and gently whistled his whisk and said, "One of this, I hope that the Tang Dynasty can conquer Tubo can achieve victory, stabilize the people on the border, and benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty.
In both, I hope to continue to suppress the weirdness, so as not to make these aliens rise again, and endanger our people from billions of people."
After hearing Ye Fashan's words, Su Dawei could no longer sit still.
He suddenly stood up, looked directly at Ye Fashan with his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Master Ye Tian’s words are meaningful? Strange, rise again?"
Ye Fashan looked up and his eyes were calm.
"Mr. Su, please sit down, please listen to me to explain in detail."
Su Dawei calmed down and sat down again: "I made the Taoist priest laugh. Chang'an was calm all these years, and when I heard something strange, I could not help but lose my composure."
"After reading the classics in the teachings, I was not less shocked than General Manager Su."
Ye Fashan put down the whisk, took out an ancient book from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "The book is called "The Legend of the Heavenly Master Subduing the Demons", which records the strange submission of our Maoshan Sect and the struggle with the various secret commanders."
"Ghost handsome?"
"It's weird and handsome, weird and weird."
Su Dawei took the book with a little hesitation, and Ye Fashan continued: "Strangeness is also a kind of creature, but it is completely opposite to humans. It uses humans as blood, and it is divided into various departments."
"That Star Lord of the Wildness..."
"That is the 100,000 strange masters of Chang'an, and it is also the largest one in name, the strange one, but there are many strange ones, and they do not completely obey the Lord of Yingmao."
"I see."
"We just said that the strange rise is related to the celestial phenomena and the great fortune."
"Master Ye Tian, I don't understand what you said."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I said you can understand. Yin and Yang are rising and falling, and the four seasons are rotating. Do you understand?"
"Understand."
To be continued...
