Li Yao remembers clearly that when Princess Pingyang raised troops in Guanzhong and won consecutive battles, Qihui, the leader of Louguan Temple, took the initiative to provide food and grass to Guanzhong and sent dozens of Louguan Taoist priests to meet Li Yuan in front of the pass, and Li Yuan's army besieged him

Before the rise of the capital in the Sui Dynasty, Louguan Taoist priests led by Qi Hui also held altars to pray for blessings.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, in order to achieve long-term peace and stability for the Li family and consolidate the feudal rule foundation of "divine right of kings", Li Yuan followed Qi Hui's suggestion and started to become "descendants of the old gentleman" and established Taoism as the state religion of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan ordered Lou Guan to be renamed "Zongsheng Guan" and built a large-scale Zongsheng Palace. He even went to Laozi's tomb to pay homage. Qihui often followed the imperial edict and went to the court to preside over fasting rituals.

In view of this, Qi Hui, the master of Lou Guan Guan, not only knew Princess Pingyang, but maybe they were very familiar with each other, and Qi Hui was definitely not the only Taoist priest from Lou Guan who knew Princess Pingyang.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yao felt troubled after hearing Zhong Kui announce his master's name.

Originally, according to Li Yao's planned plan, she planned to first visit the location near Louguantai to familiarize herself with the surrounding terrain and building distribution, then refer to the contour map in the secret box to find the precise location, and then choose a dark and windy place.

At night, relying on her skills and the ability to see night as day, she sneaked in, and finally found the so-called "mystery of heaven", and then used it to decide her future destiny.

The most important thing Li Yao set for himself at the beginning was to avoid the Taoist priests in Louguan whenever and wherever possible.

However, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and plans cannot keep up with changes.

Li Yao never expected that in this time and space of the Tang Dynasty, she would bump into someone with the same name as the Spring Festival door god Zhong Kui, and even a stranger appearance than Zhong Kui on the door panel. She never expected that,

This man named Zhong Kui turned out to be the Taoist priest of Lou Guan.

As "Murphy's Law" states, the more people fear something, the more likely it will happen. A seemingly impossible thing happened unexpectedly.

But fortunately, Zhong Kui didn't have any suspicious reaction when he saw Li Yao's appearance. He just said that she looked good-looking. This proved that he had never seen Princess Pingyang's appearance before.

Therefore, this actually provides an opportunity for Li Yao to enter Louguantai to search for the "mystery of heaven".

Now she needs to improvise and work out a new plan as soon as possible.

The key to this new plan lies in Zhong Kui.

Li Yao's mind was spinning very fast. He only pondered for a moment before he came up with an idea. He then put his hand on the fly whisk and respectfully saluted: "Blessed is the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. Brother Zhong Dao is actually an expert in Lou Guan. I can meet Zhong Dao."

Brother, you are truly lucky."

Zhong Kui seemed to have never been flattered like this before. He was a little embarrassed and quickly replied: "Fellow Taoist Li, you are too complimentary. I have only been practicing Taoism for five years. I really can't be considered an expert."

"Brother Zhong Dao, you are too modest." Li Yao waved his hand and said in a sincere tone: "Brother Zhong Dao killed the king of beasts with one sword and one man, and he seemed to be unscathed. With such a strong ability, can't he still be called a master disciple?

Brother Zhongdao is seven feet tall today, and in the world today, all those with strong bodies and strong martial arts are willing to join the army and establish achievements in order to leave a name in history and shine in the family. However, Brother Zhongdao has devoted himself to our religion, which shows that he has a far-reaching heart towards the Tao.

Better than those in the ordinary Taoist sect..."

Zhong Kui rarely had the opportunity to talk to others and was not very good at socializing. Faced with Li Yao's flattery, he felt speechless and had to smile for a while.

After Li Yao finished speaking, Zhong Kui seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said: "I watched Taoist Li walking in the rain earlier. He was as light as a swallow flying through the water, and as fast as the wind and lightning. It was unprecedented and unheard of. But today, the world is generally stable.

However, it is still not uncommon for bandits to go around and plunder, but as a Kun Taoist, Daoyou Li carries a bamboo basket on his back, does not carry a weapon, and only holds a fly whisk, so he dares to walk alone in the wilderness. Please forgive me for saying so.

It’s not ordinary practitioners who dare to think and do. I saw that Taoist friend Li was only in the age of jade, which was even more incredible. But I don’t know where he came from, what his Taoist name is, and who is the master in this world. If you can tell me, maybe I can too.

I’ve heard something.”

Li Yao had already prepared an excuse for his fake identity before setting off from Wugu Village. When he heard Zhong Kui asked, he immediately pretended to be embarrassed, sighed slightly, and said slowly: "

I am ashamed to say that I accompanied Master in practice in Minshan, Sichuan Province. Three years ago, Master traveled around the world, so I concentrated on practicing alone. However, I suffered from amnesia for no reason last year. Although I still remember most things,

However, he had no idea when and where he was born, when he entered Taoism, and he couldn’t even recall his Taoist name or the name of his master.

Because I have been living alone in an isolated place with no one around to ask, I had to wait eagerly for Master to return, but there has been no news from Master for a long time. Fortunately, when I was sorting out my books not long ago, I accidentally discovered my

A common name, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to say my own name just now..."

While Li Yao pretended to have a sad face and kept making up stories, Zhong Kui, while listening carefully, had already secretly looked at Li Yao's whole body, from head to toe, carefully. He had only noticed before

Li Yao's appearance and behavior, but now he feels that this somewhat unique female Taoist friend in front of him is far more than what he had imagined before.

Zhong Kui actually came from a noble family and had been a Taoist for five years. He spent most of his time traveling around, so he was definitely well-informed.

He found that although the robes and scarves Li Yao was wearing were all made of linen, they were all very precious and top-grade linen. The white cloud lotus scarf covering his black hair was as soft as Qiluo, like a green lotus.

Blooming on top of the clouds.

The hairpin inserted in the bun is delicate and moist, with a deep jade color. It is obviously made of the highest quality Khotan sapphire.

The color of the robe she wore was extremely pure, almost the same color as the spring sky, and the overall workmanship was incredibly fine.

Under her feet was a pair of traveling shoes. Although the uppers only had common cloud patterns, the footprints she left on the mud seemed to have green lotus patterns inside them. Zhong Kui recognized them at a glance. These... were actually a pair of shoes from the south.

"Every step of the way brings forth lotus shoes" that has been almost lost since the fall of Chen Dynasty!

Such an outfit that looks subtle and elegant, but is actually extremely luxurious, is completely different from what ordinary folk craftsmanship can produce. It can be said that it is no different from the imperial clothing given by the Tianjia that he has seen in the "Zongsheng Palace".
