A few people came from afar, all dressed in grey robes. Walking on both sides were two young girls with their hair tied up in a bun and Daoist hairpins in their hair. They looked solemn. Between the two of them was an old Daoist nun in her fifties or sixties. She had white hair and a dignified expression. Wherever the three of them passed, people would kowtow in reverence.
Behind them was a tall memorial arch. He was in a hurry when he came up the mountain and didn't get a good look at it. Now that he looked at it again, the memorial arch was tall and majestic, with four golden words written on it — Yu De Immortal Market.
Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Qingxuan said softly, "That's the inheritance ground of the Sacred Market, the core of Yu De Immortal Market. Ordinary people can't enter it."
The core of Yu De Immortal Market? Lin Wanrong sneered and had a plan in mind.
"Disciple Xiao Qingxuan greets the dean." Seeing the old Daoist nun walking over, Xiao Qingxuan looked calm and was about to bow. Lin Wanrong stopped her and said with a heartache, "You're pregnant, so it's better not to do such meaningless activities. You're not allowed to bow to anyone other than heaven and earth and your parents."
Xiao Qingxuan smiled sweetly and nodded. The dean walked to the front of the three of them and heard their conversation. She frowned and said angrily, "Qing Xuan, is this the evil person who instigated you? You don't even remember etiquette because of him? "
"Etiquette? What etiquette? "Lin Wanrong spread his hands and smiled." In this world, only justice and justice are the greatest etiquette. Qing Xuan and I treated each other sincerely, but we were obstructed by evil people. May I ask, old granny, do you know etiquette? "
As they spoke, the scholars and disciples of the Sacred Market gathered around the dean and became much bolder. The dean chanted and said coldly, "What a brat. How dare you say such arrogant words and ruin the Sacred Market's hundred years of foundation. I'm going to teach you a lesson today. "
"Sacred Workshop?" Lin Wanrong laughed. "Grandma, don't think too highly of yourself. You claim to be the Holy Workshop. May I know where your Holy Workshop is? "
Everyone in Yu De Immortal Market was already enraged when they heard him address her as an old granny. The Dean raised his brows and his Daoist robe fluttered in the wind as he said proudly, "There have been countless scholars and great scholars in the Sacred Market for generations. They have spent their entire lives paying attention to the people's livelihood, leading the masses and saving the people from disaster. The name of the Sage Sage is respected by the world."
"Pay attention to the people's livelihood, lead the masses, and save the people from disaster." Lin Wanrong burst into laughter and clapped his hands, "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. Your Sacred Workshop is truly extraordinary."
The Hall Master shouted, "How dare you! Why are you laughing?"
Lin Wanrong stopped laughing and said disdainfully, "What's your Daoist name?"
As soon as he said that, there was already an uproar from the other side, "How dare you! The Hall Master's Daoist name is not something an ignorant person like you can know! "
Lin Wanrong glanced at the person who spoke. It turned out to be Li Panlong, who had just lost the bet. Seeing Lin Wanrong looking at him with a smile, Li Panlong didn't know why, but he felt a chill in his heart. He quickly shut his mouth and didn't dare to speak again. The Dean waved his hand to stop the disciples behind him and said calmly, "I don't mind telling you my Daoist name. I'm the 17th Hall Master of Yu De Immortal Market, Layman Jing An."
"Layman Jing An?" Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "That's a good name. It's a pity that such a good name has been ruined."
"How dare you!" Li Panlong shouted again. Lin Wanrong angrily pointed at his nose and said, "You're the one who has the guts! I'm talking here, so how can a little monkey like you interrupt? " Li Panlong couldn't deny the fact that he had fought with Lin San just now. Lin San pointed at his nose and scolded him in front of everyone. Li Panlong's old face turned red and white, and he couldn't say a word.
Layman Jing An said angrily, "How dare you insult me!"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "What insult? Layman, your heart and mind are not calm, so how can you call yourself Layman Jing An? It's not wrong to say that such a good name has been ruined. The two words' Holy Workshop 'are really the biggest joke in the world. "
"You —" Layman Jing An said angrily, "Don't you dare insult my Holy Workshop!"
"You're not convinced?" Lin Wanrong said loudly, "Caring about the people's livelihood, leading the masses, and saving the people from disaster? What a joke! You masters and young masters in the workshops are detached from the masses, and the common people are like weeds in your eyes. How dare you say that you're leading the masses? The commoners in the remote mountains work at sunrise and rest at sunset. They rely on their own hands to support themselves. Why do they need you to lead them? Why do they need you to save them? Do you really think that just because you read a few lousy books, you can guide the world and inspire people? Without the millions of commoners farming and paying taxes to support you, you're just a pile of shit in the toilet. Who do you want to lead? Who do you want to save? Other than yourselves, you can't save anyone. The Holy Workshop that you claim to be is actually just a prostitute in a brothel, acting coquettishly every day to attract people's attention. Do you think that you're so noble? And you still want to be respected by the people? Ptui, respect my ass! "
Lin Wanrong scolded to his heart's content, and with a bang, he kicked a small stone. The stone flew up and landed in front of the courtyard master, scaring everyone.
"You, you …" Layman Jing An's face turned pale. His body swayed a few times, but he couldn't say a word. Yu De Immortal Market had stood tall for a hundred years, and its reputation was unparalleled. When had it ever suffered such humiliation? Although the world was big, there was no one else but Lin San who dared to attack Yu De Immortal Market like this.
Xu Zhiqing was shocked when she saw Lin San's murderous aura, as if he was furious. She had great wisdom, and she felt close to Lin San's idea of being close to the people. The world belonged to the people, and the people had infinite courage and wisdom. They were the true leaders of the world. How could a high and mighty Yu De Immortal Market like you be qualified to lead them and save them?
Tears welled up in Xiao Qingxuan's eyes when she saw his impassioned expression. She vaguely recalled the first time she met him at the Xuanwu Lake in Jinling Prefecture during the golden autumn of last year. It was exactly this expression that attracted her attention. She felt like she had returned to the time when they first met. Her heart was filled with tenderness. She held his hand and smiled sweetly like a hundred flowers blooming, overshadowing the brilliance of heaven and earth.
Lin San's words were like a cannonball that hit the people of Yu De Immortal Market. They were dumbfounded and couldn't refute him. Looking at Lin San's majestic and cold expression, the scene became extremely quiet, and no one dared to speak.
Layman Jing An's body swayed a few times, and he struggled to stand up. He said angrily, "What a sharp tongue! My Saint Workshop has been established for a hundred years, and it's not as bad as you said. I won't discuss this important matter with you today. Xiao Qingxuan is my Saint Workshop's disciple, and she's the successor that we've chosen many years ago. No one can take her away. This is the rule of the world, and you can't deny it. "
Xu Zhiqing chuckled inwardly when she saw that Layman Jing An no longer dared to refer to himself as the 'Sacred Workshop'. She looked at Lin Wanrong with admiration. No matter how domineering and unyielding the Sacred Workshop was, in front of Lin San, who was as stubborn as a rock, they had no choice but to bow down.
Lin Wanrong's scolding suppressed everyone's aura. Layman Jing An took a step back and sneered, "I say, old grandma, Qing Xuan is just a disciple of yours. She didn't sell herself to you. She has the right to marry and have children. How can you say that you're reasonable when you stop her like this? "
Layman Jing An snorted and said, "If this happened to any other disciple, I definitely wouldn't stop you, but not Qing Xuan. She's the successor that the previous workshop master has chosen, and this concerns the future of our workshop. I can't let her go. Furthermore, she's made a vow in the past to forsake the desires of the mortal world, and to lead the workshop's disciples to bring the spirit of Yu De Immortal Market to greater heights. A man can't stand without his word, and the vow is still ringing in my ears. How can I forget it just like that? "
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "What kind of bullsh * t rule is this? It's too inhumane. Even if Qing Xuan wants to be the workshop master, she doesn't have to forsake her desires and become a nun, right? Why don't you reorganize the Saint Workshop? Cultural Branch will become the cultural department, Martial Branch will become the fight club, and the Saint Workshop will become a corporation. Qing Xuan will be the chairperson, and I'll be the chairperson's husband. This way, we won't delay each other, and it'll be the best of both worlds. "
Layman Jing An flicked his long sleeves and angrily rebuked, "Nonsense! What a scandal! The workshop masters of the past generations have all been promising cultivators with profound cultivation bases. For the sake of the workshop, they're willing to forsake the desires of the mortal world, pursue the Heavenly Dao, and wholeheartedly protect Yu De Immortal Market. This is the only way to win the support of all the disciples. "
"Pursue the Heavenly Dao?" Lin Wanrong sneered and said, "The people of the mortal world are born with the right to be sad, happy, and joyful. What right do you have to deprive them? Some people don't enjoy the Heavenly Dao, but they ask the mortals to go against the Heavenly Dao and pursue the illusory Heavenly Dao. Is this how your Yu De Immortal Market cultivates? To seek the Heavenly Dao and destroy the Dao, who in the world will agree with you? You're forcing Qing Xuan to do what she doesn't want to do, just for the selfish desires of your so-called workshop. Yet, you're still saying it in such a selfless and noble manner. You're really the typical example of taking ignorance as your personality. What a joke! "
Xu Zhiqing applauded. Lin San's words had hit the nail on the head, exposing the so-called noble and holy veil that shrouded Yu De Immortal Market. Xiao Qing Xuan blushed as she held Lin Wanrong's hand tightly and said, "Husband, Qing Xuan doesn't seek the Heavenly Dao, I only want to find the Dao of human relationships with you!"
"Yes, I want it." Lin Wanrong hurriedly nodded and giggled in her ear, "The Dao of human relationships is the pinnacle of intimacy between husband and wife. It's really sacred. I've always been diligent and diligent on this path of learning. My dear wife, after we're done here, let's have a good look at it. "
Miss Xiao spat softly, her face blushing as she slapped him. The two of them were affectionate and sweet, making the bystanders envious.
Hearing Lin Wanrong's words, the younger generation of disciples of the Sacred Market were all moved. 'Seek the Heavenly Dao, destroy the Dao of human relationships', these six words were so deafening that they felt enlightened and enlightened in an instant. The crowd looked at each other and whispered to each other.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Layman Jing An hurriedly said, "A man can't stand without his word. No matter what you say, Qing Xuan made a vow in the past, and this is absolutely true. Qing Xuan, do you admit it? "
Xiao Qing Xuan was cold and proud, so how could she deny it? She nodded lightly and said with a graceful expression, "What Dean said is true. Qing Xuan did make such a vow in the past. Today's matter is Qing Xuan's violation of the vow, and Qing Xuan is willing to accept any punishment. "Lin Wanrong knew Miss Xiao's temperament, so he did not stop her and let her do as she pleased. In any case, as long as it's my wife's doing, I'll take responsibility for it.
Hearing Xiao Qing Xuan's frank admission, Xu Zhiqing was secretly anxious. She hurriedly pulled Lin Wanrong and rolled her eyes at him, saying softly, "With your intelligence, why don't you think of a way to get Miss Xiao to say it in a more tactful manner?"
Hearing this, Miss Xiao gently shook her head and said gratefully, "Sister, I can't thank you enough for your concern. White is white, black is black. In life, you can make mistakes, but you can't erase them. Qingxuan will never deny what she has done. "
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Yes, yes. What are you afraid of? Just say it. Anyway, I'm the world's most notorious villain. Let me do the evil things. "
Between the two of them, one was crazy, one was silly, one was kind, one was evil. They were a perfect match. Miss Xu was touched, but she did not know how to express it. She could only hold Lin San's hand to show her support.
The Sacred Workshop Dean Jing An was waiting for Miss Xiao to say this. Hearing Xiao Qing Xuan's frank admission, she immediately chanted a Daoist name and nodded, saying, "Since Qing Xuan has admitted it, there's nothing else to worry about. As the saying goes, a man cannot stand without his word. Breaking a vow is not something a gentleman would do and will be despised by the world. It's not too late to turn back. "
"Turn back? Turn back for what?" Lin Wanrong chuckled and said loudly, "Grandma Jing An, do you remember when Qing Xuan made this vow?"
The dean snorted and said angrily, "Of course I remember it. It was the eighth year after Qing Xuan came to the mountain. She was about eight or nine years old."
Lin Wanrong turned back and said softly, "Qing Xuan, is she right?"
Miss Xiao nodded lightly, "Dean, you are right. I was not even nine years old that year."
Lin Wanrong let out a long "oh" and jumped in front of a scholar. He said with a smile, "My dear friend, what were you doing when you were nine years old?"
The scholar was stunned for a moment and said, "When I was nine years old, I learned to write and recite poems from my father."
"Oh, then did you do anything dishonest at that time?" Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "For example, you asked your father to buy tanghulu and he gave you ten copper coins, but you pocketed six copper coins and so on."
The scholar blushed and nodded, saying embarrassedly, "One winter, he forced me to wake up early to write. Due to his dignity, I had no choice but to agree. When he went out to do something, I slipped out to play with the others. I failed to live up to his teachings. "
"Oh, then you broke your promise." Lin Wanrong spread his hands and said helplessly, "Brother Scholar, it seems that you are not a gentleman."
The scholar was shocked and hurriedly said, "That's not the case. That was because I was young and mischievous. I was playful, so I did something dishonest. However, that was because I was young and inexperienced. I believe that everyone has had such an experience, so it cannot be taken seriously. For many years, I have never broken my promise. "
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said sympathetically, "Brother Scholar, I believe you. However, there are people who think that you are not a gentleman. I can't do anything about it. "
The scholar hurriedly said, "Who?"
Lin Wanrong pointed at the dean and said with a smile, "Hey, it's this householder's grandmother. According to her reasoning, our Qing Xuan made a vow when she was nine years old. If she did not keep it now, it would be dishonest. And Brother Scholar, you knew how to lie at that time. Naturally, you are not a gentleman. Sigh, what a pity. "
The scholar was anxious and hurriedly explained, "What happened when she was nine years old was done by children. Even if she was abducted, she did not know. How can you believe this?"
Lin Wanrong let out a long "oh" and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. She was young and inexperienced and was abducted. Well said, Brother Scholar, I support you. You are a gentleman, a great gentleman. My maid's second uncle's uncle's younger brother-in-law has a third concubine. When the time comes, I will matchmake you. "
Miss Xu heard the trick and immediately put down her worries. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I don't know where this guy got so many wonderful ideas. Miss Xiao, I really admire this bad guy. Your husband is really unparalleled in the world."
Xiao Qingxuan suddenly sighed and said helplessly, "It's true that he is unparalleled in the world. I'm just worried that his seduction to us women is also unparalleled in the world. If something embarrassing were to happen at that time, it would be very bad. "
Miss Xu felt guilty. She let out a soft "ah" and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to speak.
After listening to Lin San's words, some smart people began to understand. Everyone whispered and whispered to each other. Lin Wanrong walked in front of those great scholars and smiled. He bowed and said, "Greetings, brother. May I know your name? Oh, Brother Song, I've heard a lot about you. May I ask if you did anything dishonest when you were ten years old? For example, snatching children's lollipops. No way, you can do such a heartless thing? There's no justice in this world. He had to be dealt with according to the law!
"Oh, Brother Yan Na, what bad things did you do before you were ten years old? Touching little girls' hair, stealing copper coins, playing Mahjong, playing Pai Gow … "
"Brother Li Yuanyang? May I ask what bad things did you do when you were young? Throwing stones into the stables, abducting other people's hens, peeking at widows bathing … "
He continued to ask. Who didn't do anything shameful when they were young? When they saw him, it was like they had seen a plague. They panicked and hurriedly ran away.
Layman Jing An said angrily, "Lin San, what are you trying to do by pestering me endlessly?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about you. May I ask, before you were ten years old, did you steal other children's silk thread or snatch other people's paper cranes … "
"No!" Scholar Jing An said proudly, "I have been taught by my parents since I was young. I have a good upbringing and have never done such dirty things."
Lin Wanrong rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Then did you discuss with your parents about wearing your hair and cultivating to get rid of worldly desires?"
Scholar Jing An hesitated and said, "This …"
"Oh!" Lin Wanrong chased after him and said loudly, "You must have lied to your parents, saying that you have good food and drinks in the Sacred Workshop and telling them not to worry. Heavens, how could you do such an inhuman thing? You lied to your parents and caused your family to have no descendants. This is a great unfilial act. Everything in the world is Yin and Yang. You became a monk without permission and caused a man in the world to not be able to marry a wife and have no children. This caused the next generation to have either Yang or Yang, causing the Yin and Yang to be out of balance for generations. This imbalance between men and women, destroying the birth control policy and harming our China for generations. This is a great disloyalty. You are a disloyal and unfilial person, yet you claim to be benevolent, righteous, and moral. This is so ridiculous that it makes people's hair stand on end. Look, look, what are you looking at? I want to scold you too! "
Scholar Jing An was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His fingers were trembling and his lips were pale. He stammered for a long time but couldn't say a word.
Xu Zhiqing smiled and said, "He won again. His words of disloyalty and unfilial seem to be sophistry, but they are not without reason."
Miss Xiao nodded lightly and said with a stern expression, "Don't be fooled by his ridiculous words. There are heavenly secrets hidden in the middle. Only those who have the heart can grasp them."
"I-I'm talking about Qing Xuan's matter today. W-Why are you talking about other things?" Scholar Jing An held his breath and said with a trembling voice.
"About Qing Xuan's matter, everyone has already come to a consensus." Lin Wanrong took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "A nine-year-old girl who is still at the age of acting spoiled in her mother's embrace, how can she have the ability to make independent judgments? Great Confucian scholars, heroes, think about what you did when you were nine years old. How much do you remember now? Forcing a nine-year-old child to make a vow and demanding that she fulfill her vow when she becomes an adult, thus sacrificing a lifetime of happiness, this kind of behavior is despised by a gentleman. If all of you personally experienced this, what would you think? "
Everyone nodded without saying a word. Lin Wanrong said loudly, "So, the truth is that Qing Xuan was ignorant when she was young. She was abducted and even threatened by you, which was why she made such a vicious vow. Sigh, thinking back to the situation back then, no one knows the pain that Qing Xuan suffered! Scholar, how could you be so ruthless! "
"You —" Scholar Jing An's blood boiled, and he swayed and was about to collapse.
"What about me? Don't point your middle finger at me. You're so vicious, but I didn't sue you for abducting children and abusing child labor. You should go home and thank the gods. " Lin San looked at Scholar Jing An and smiled disdainfully, "It's time for Yu De Immortal Market to die of old age."
Scholar Jing An's vision darkened, and she collapsed to the ground. Two female disciples hurriedly hugged her and called out, "Court Master, Court Master —"
"General Lin, General Lin —" A group of people came running from the foot of the mountain, and the one leading them was Du Xiuyuan. Behind him, there were several horses pulling two cannons and running up the mountain.
'F * ck, they're finally here. I've talked until my saliva is dry.' Lin Wanrong sat on the ground and panted heavily. Du Xiuyuan hurriedly held him up and said, "I'm late, please forgive me, General."
Lin Wanrong pointed at the memorial arch in the distance that had the words' Yu De Immortal Market 'written on it and said angrily, "Brother Du, destroy that memorial arch!"
"Yes!" Du Xiuyuan hurriedly set up the cannons, and the cannoneers loaded the ammunition. Boom, boom, boom. Amidst the smoke, the noble memorial arch collapsed …
