At dusk, Zhong Qi rushed for more than ten miles, passed the mulberry leaf forest in Erlang Town, climbed back to Wushan along the mountain road, and looked at the red walls and green tiles, green painted wooden eaves, and brackets. Zhong Qi couldn't help but sigh:

"The mountains are far away at dusk, and people return to the snowy night. General Temple, I am back..."

In the twelfth lunar month, there were only a few pilgrims, all of whom were raising their parents at home, worshiping the gods. Zhong Qi walked up the stone steps. Seeing the door closed, he stood in front of the door and knocked twice, shouting: "Open the door, open the door, I'm back... Open the door..."

"Cruff..."

After a while, with a harsh sound from Gu, the temple door slowly opened. A Taoist boy with a pair of wool buns on his head, a light green pleated dress, and a yellow striped waist stuck his head out, looking at Zhong Qi with a confused expression.

Zhong Qi was also confused. After looking at Zhong Qi for a few breaths, the Taoist boy suddenly realized something. He quickly stepped back and bowed and said, "Uncle Master, is it Master Zhong?"

"Children, who are you under your seat? Here we are welcomed by the door. I am the one who is the family. The surname is Zhong." Zhong Qi smiled faintly, grabbed the stick, shaking the snowflakes on his shoulders, and entered the temple gate.

"That's right there. Uncle Master is invited in quickly. Master Qingfeng, the abbot of the family, had already given instructions, saying that Uncle Master is out for traveling and told me to be careful at all times..." The Taoist boy followed Zhong Qi with a respectful look on his face and said.

Zhong Qi nodded and, after walking two steps, he saw Dao Ren Chi leading two children with two buns and sweeping the snow in the yard. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Chengze, I haven't seen you for several months. Could it be that you have also taken care of your disciple?"

"Master Hong!" Dao Ren Chi turned his head and looked in the sound. Seeing Zhong Qi standing in the yard with a wooden stick, he looked at him with a smile. He couldn't help but look happy and replied quickly:

"I have any skills in my church, but I am not the abbot. In recent days, I have accepted many disciples and grandchildren and added more than a dozen holes to the temple. Master Hong, will you go here smoothly?"

The two children who followed the snow sweeping also hurriedly bowed: "Uncle Master..."

Zhong Qi smiled and nodded and replied to Taoist Chi, "It's better not to mention this matter, but the number of people in Guanzhong is prosperous, and it will make our family prosperous. It's very good, very good..."

He turned to say goodbye to several people, walked all the way through the hall, walked to the second-story building, and went to Jia Qingfeng's door. Seeing the noise inside, Zhong Qi was too lazy to knock on the door, so he pushed the door and entered.

There were seven or eight young Taoist priests sitting in the house, all wearing blue cloth, cloud socks, and silk shoes, and a scarf on their heads. Jia Qingfeng fell on the bed and preached the scriptures with the Taoists.

There was a child standing on each side of the bed. The child in yellow clothes on the left held the whisk and the child in purple clothes on the side held the Ruyi, making it look like a god in the cave world preaching and summoning the true saints to listen to the lecture.

"Junior brother, when will you come back? Sit, please sit..."

At the first sight of Zhong Qi, Jia Qingfeng kicked his legs off the couch, and said with an excited look on the Taoist on both sides, "Didn't you always think about Master Uncle? Now the upright god is right in front of you. Why don't you pay a visit to me quickly..."

Everyone saw Zhong Qi wearing patched apricot zodiac robes, cloud socks, silk shoes, Jiuhua scarves, a stick of Li staff, and a yellow gourd hanging. He looked like a sloppy Taoist priest, all of whom he was puzzled: "This kind of demeanor doesn't look like a god, but like a beggar begging..."

However, seeing the master's face full of solemnity, he quickly pressed his doubts, bowed and said, "I have seen uncle, I'll be polite here..."

"Haha...haha, so polite, so polite." Zhong Qi bowed and replied, and said with a wink at Jia Qingfeng.

Seeing this, Jia Qingfeng waved his hand to the Taoist smirked and said, "Today's lecture, let's stop here. Let's go down to review the scriptures first. I will be conducting inspections the next day. If you don't understand, please ask the teacher."

The Taoists bowed to the promise and scattered and retreated with a wink. By the way, they also brought the door and left the space for the brothers Zhong Jia.

Jia Qingfeng got up and soaked a pot of tea for Zhong Qi. The two of them sat opposite each other and each drank tea. After a long time, Qingfeng said, "Junior brother, this trip to Qiangzhou has not been completed yet?"

Zhong Qi said lightly: "It's not done..."

"But what happened to someone who took the lead?" Qingfeng said in confusion.

Zhong Qi took a sip of tea and shook his head and said, "That's not, this trip was full of ups and downs..."

After briefly deleting the experience of this trip and telling it up together, Zhong Qi sighed: "I heard from the village that Han Juren is not a good thing. I am a Taoist master of virtue but not a noble person, so I went to Jinxi Ferry of the Han River and turned back to Liangzhou..."

After hearing this, Jia Qingfeng pondered for a long time and said, "Oh... well, although your missionary preaching has not been completed, you have made friends with many experts. However, the behavior of qi secting this will definitely have some plans for you. If you annoy them, you will not be able to get along with each other."

Jia Qingfeng saw Zhong Qi lower his head and said nothing. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and looked at Zhong Qi with a firm look on his face and said, "Junior brother, what do you think? I will listen to you whether you enter that sect or not. Although the senior brother is useless, he has raised his seven-foot body and is willing to work together with his junior brother..."

Zhong Qi was stunned when he heard this, and felt a little moved. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "According to me, although the world is in danger, it is only based on the power of the Hu cavalry outside the pass, plus some cults and chieftains, although it is a temporary disaster, it is still far from being able to defeat the court.

First of all, Hu Qi lived in the grassland for a long time, and entered the Central Plains only to build grass valleys. Their tribes were not adapted to the climate of the Central Plains, and they would return after just robbing them.

Secondly, no matter how poor the imperial military preparation is, there are stable food, pay, armies, chieftain soldiers, and cults who bewitch the foolish people. Although they are brave and fearless, they are not trained and are just farmers who show off their courage. They lack food and armor, and they can only rob and turn into bandits, which will not hurt the court..."

"According to the junior brother's opinion, which one can teach you in one go, we won't get into it?" Jia Qingfeng said with a look of confusion after hearing this. He is just a Taoist in the mountains. You can ask him to preach and debate the scriptures, but if you ask him to discuss major affairs in the world, it is to play the piano against a cow.

Zhong Qi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother, although this trip is short, there are many things to do. Various tricks and tricks in the world are really annoying, so I plan to retreat in seclusion and never go down the mountain again."

Jia Qingfeng was stunned when he heard this and exclaimed: "You said you could go into seclusion in the world, but why did you say that you would never go down the mountain? The so-called small hidden in the wild and large hidden in the city. Now your reputation spreads throughout Gucheng, which is at its peak.

As long as you reveal a few more immortal traces and spread throughout the prefecture, when today, I will summon you to the palace and be named a real national teacher. That will be worthwhile to travel around the world and carry forward our sect.”

This time, Zhong Qi shook his head firmly and sighed: "Senior brother, look at the person who competes for fame, loses his body because of fame; those who seize profits will lose their body for profit; those who receive titles will sleep with a tiger; those who receive kindness will walk away with a snake, the power of the world, the purple ribbon and jade belt, what does it have to do with us?

After this journey, I just want to live in seclusion in the mountains, accompany tigers, deer, jackals, pick hundreds of flowers in spring, find Polygonatum in autumn, combine with the best three religions, lie in the cave and observe the birth and death of the world, and from then on, I have been silent in the mortal world."

Although the world has no inspiration, there is martial arts to learn. Zhong Qi plans to escape from the world to practice concentration, wisdom, Taoism, and martial arts. He avoids intrigues and deceptions and is accompanied by all beasts in the mountains.

This time, the two brothers argued for a long time, and let Jia Qingfeng say what, Zhong Qi was still determined and determined to escape from the world.

Jia Qingfeng said dejectedly: "Oh... if you insist on doing this, I can't tell you. I just hope you will go to seclusion after the New Year. I will be ordered by the Daolusi. On the first day of the first lunar month, change Wushan to Ziwu Mountain, General Temple to Ziwu Palace, and I will be appointed as the abbot. You will be consecrated for the golden body of the subduing demons. It will not be too late for you to go up the mountain again."

Zhong Qi nodded and agreed, took out a volume of books from his sleeve, handed them to Jia Qingfeng, and said softly: "Senior Brother, after I went to the back mountain to retreat, you will take charge of everything in my observation. This volume of Dharma books is what I have learned throughout my life, including clouds and mist, three flavors of Dharma fire, talismans and secret medicines, etc., all of them are inside. You can use it to practice..."
