Chapter 37 Primer

In Liangshan, Chao Gai held a grand banquet for Song Jiang who had just rescued up the mountain. Only Gongsun Sheng let out a soft sigh. This sigh came from Chao Baozheng, who had placed high hopes on him. Song Jiang is here, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, why didn't Chao Baozheng think about this issue carefully? It seems that Chao Gai has never been a man who can accomplish great things. After drinking for three rounds, Gongsun Sheng proposed to go down the mountain to visit his mother, and "farewell" to the cottage for several months. Suddenly the atmosphere was a little awkward, Song Jiang thought to himself that you are going to leave after I come, what does this mean?

Hei Sanlang still showed his friendly smile as usual, saying that he missed his mother, why not ask the two younger ones to take the old man up the mountain to "enjoy the blessing". Gongsun Sheng hurriedly said no, the family has a lot of land, and the old mother has no worries about food and clothing and has lived in the countryside for a long time. She must not be used to going up the mountain, so the brothers went to accompany the old mother for a few months to show filial piety. Hei Saburo is famous for his filial piety, Gongsun Sheng went down the mountain on the grounds of visiting his mother, Song Jiang really couldn't say anything, he could only watch Gongsun Taoist leave.

Gongsun Sheng returned to his hometown after a long absence, feeling relaxed. He went to Zixu to visit his master Luo Zhenren.The real person glanced at him, and the words in his eyes said that he was right, very good. But when Song Jiang basically emptied Chao Gai and became the real boss of Liangshan, he still thought of the Taoist priest who didn't give him face at the beginning, and thought that Liangshan could come and go as soon as you said, so he let his confidant Dai Zong He and Li Kui went to find Gongsun Sheng and asked him to "return to the team". Knowing that the two were looking for them, Gongsun Sheng hid.

The monk could not hide from the temple, and the two stayed at home not only lingering, Li Kui also took an ax to tear down the wall and kill Gongsun and his mother, Gongsun Sheng was forced to come out. He still didn't give up, and brought out his master Luo Zhenren, saying that his master's order was hard to break and he couldn't go with his brothers. Gongsun Sheng thought to himself, Master Luo is a very famous living god in Hebei and Shandong, why don't you two dare to play wild in front of the living god. Li Kui said that whoever dares to stop me from picking up Lao Tzu will kill him.

He didn't speak big words, Li Kui drank a lot of wine that night, ran to Zixu Temple, cut up the pumpkins in the pumpkin patch in the back garden and bloomed everywhere, and greeted the eight generations of Luo Zhenren's ancestors cordially. The next day, when Gongsun Sheng heard the news that the little boy came to report to him, his heart sank. He thought that if he didn't leave, the next thing that would be cut in half would be his master's head, or his old mother. of. Gongsun Sheng went to bid farewell to the master, glanced at Master Luo, and said in his eyes that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.

Master Luo sighed, and gave him eight words: "Go back when you meet a secluded place, and stop when you meet a blind spot." Gongsun Sheng went to Liangshan again, and this time he knew that it was not the government that forced the heroes to Liangshan, but these brothers on the road. What Liangshan Song Jiang needs is not a Gongsun Sheng, but a Taoist who believes in both the government and the people. This is the only reason why he can sit in the fourth place. Gongsun Sheng saw this very clearly and was very tired, so when Song Jiang accepted the imperial court's offer and went down the mountain in a hurry, he finally found a chance to leave.

No matter Liangshan or Tokyo, there is no "Tao" that Gongsun Sheng seeks.
