Taoist priests usually wear cyan-grey uniforms and wear purple when performing rituals. Purple means purple energy coming from the east, which is derived from the story of Laozi leaving Hanguan from the west.
As for the yellow color, it is because in Taoism, everyone agrees that Taoism originated from the Yellow Emperor. Because the Yellow Emperor is the only emperor in historical legends who truly practiced Taoism and became an immortal, and he is also the humanistic ancestor of the Chinese nation, so Taoism also respects the Yellow Emperor as Ancestor.
The Yellow Emperor belongs to earth among the five elements and represents earth virtue. Therefore, the yellow Taoist uniform has the highest status in Taoism. Among several colors of Taoist uniforms, it is the color that only the leader of a sect can wear.
In modern times, after the late Jin Dynasty and the Republic of China, many Taoist customs have also changed, so they do not pay too much attention to these. However, there are also sects that attach great importance to traditional rules. For example, Zhang Jingsheng and his Taoist sect have absorbed many classic teachings of Confucianism. Therefore, we pay more attention to etiquette and rules.
He is the direct successor of Wu Weishan Qingjin Temple, so he is qualified to wear yellow, and to distinguish himself from the leader, he chose light yellow Taoist robes.
Two little Taoist priests appeared on the streets of Shanghai, as conspicuous as two drops of ink blended into a water glass. People are still very friendly to monks these days, especially these two beautiful little Taoist priests.
If Zhang Jingsheng only has good facial features, looks gentle with a bit of intelligence, and gives people a high sense of intimacy, then Gao Jingfei can be said to have a more outstanding appearance.
The eighteen-year-old is at the transition point between teenagers and adult men. In modern times, it can be said that he is still a child who has not graduated from high school, but in ancient times, he was probably the father of several children.
And his mature face has a bit of childishness, combined with the facial features that can be called handsome, and he has the same body shape and appearance after being trained by Mang Niu Jin, as well as the special innate characteristics of modern people. His temperament gives him an unusual appeal. No matter whether men or women see him, they can't help but take a second look at him.
What's more, a height of over 180cm is still very outstanding in this era. As a native of Jiangnan, Zhang Jingsheng is not short at 178cm. The two of them walked side by side on this ancient street, wearing unique Taoist robes, which made them stand out from the crowd. It's not an exaggeration.
Unlike Gao Jingfei who was very curious about various ancient commodities and gadgets, as well as the most important delicacies, Zhang Jingsheng was most interested in the existence of the Four Treasures of the Study and medicinal materials.
He whispered excitedly to Gao Jingfei:
"These are rare spiritual materials! Although the spiritual energy content is not high, with some processing, I can make more spiritual talismans and magic weapons when I return to modern times!"
After hearing what Zhang Jingsheng said, Gao Jingfei, who was not very interested at first, also spent a lot of money to purchase various materials from this world.
Including rice paper and yellow paper, etc., I bought a few hundred dollars, as well as some inkstones, brushes, ink blocks, sealing stones, etc., so many things were piled up in a mess, if it weren't for the Wuyin bag, I guess they won't be able to take it back.
But now he only needed a blinding trick to prevent people from noticing, and he could put the things into the magic weapon, and then continue shopping with the two little Taoist priests.
After acquiring enough spiritual materials this time, Zhang Jingsheng also went with Gao Jingfei to explore the streets and restaurants and other places for delicious food.
As a big eater, Gao Jingfei has enough stomach to eat from beginning to end. If one street is not enough, he can just change to another street. Anyway, there are many people specializing in catering in this ancient city.
Although it is not as good as the pinnacle of ancient market culture like Tokyo and Bianliang during the Song Dynasty, because the Magic City was the first place to open its doors to trade with the five major trading ports, and because the Jin Dynasty’s shackles on the country were far less than in the early days, the Magic City
The city's private commerce has also developed far more prosperously than in other regions.
Maybe roadside vendors in this era may not necessarily be very clean, but in fact they are not much different from those in modern times. People in this era are still relatively simple. Although there are some tricks in doing business, the proportion of unscrupulous vendors should not be too many.
.
And if there is something unhealthy in the food, Gao Jingfei's spiritual vision can detect some signs.
After all, everything has spirituality, more or less, and different substances have different auras.
Gao Jingfei once curiously experimented. If something is spoiled or dirty, it will usually appear in his spiritual vision as a black and gray color. With the poison that Guo Shihu played with, he also had the opportunity to distinguish whether it was poisonous or contaminated.
Contaminated food will appear black-purple or black-green and other strange auras.
And the negative color of that aura is not simply reflected in the color. It is different from the normal black, purple, and green, and there is a strangeness that touches his level of perception.
This ability allows Gao Jingfei to clearly distinguish whether the food in front of him is safe to eat.
While Gao Jingfei was sweeping the streets with the little Taoist priest, there were other people in the Magic City with the same purpose as him, wandering around the streets and alleys eating delicious food.
The two parties met by chance in front of a bustling braised duck shop.
"Um?"
When Gao Jingfei saw these two people, he was immediately shocked.
Although he is not Zhang Lin's professionally trained and piercing eyes, he can easily tell from the temperament and dress of the other person that these two people are definitely not natives of this world.
The visitors were two young women, a master and a servant.
The leader is a woman with a graceful and graceful appearance, wearing a dress similar to that of a nineteenth-century British aristocratic woman. The lake blue color is low-key and hidden in luxury. The neckline is high, and the clothes are slightly loose so as not to expose her graceful silhouette.
Nothing is revealed, but it brings a different kind of temptation.
Although the thin veil made it difficult to see the other person's face, Gao Jingfei instinctively felt that she must be a beauty, and she was a peerless beauty that surpassed school belles, Internet celebrities and celebrities.
Look at the girl wearing the black and white maid outfit next to the other party. She is a little beauty with obvious mixed-race features. Her skin is as white as milk, her dark brown hair with slightly natural curls and blue-black eyes can prove her ancestry.
.
Different from her master, although the other person's skin color is also white, it is the kind of ice-skinned white, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, while this little maid looks like a girl with a childlike face, although she only looks like a fairy.
However, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he has an unusually plump and mature figure. Even when walking on the street, there are constant sounds of men swallowing saliva.
This was not unexpected by Gao Jingfei.
You must know that the aesthetics of ancient people may be different from those of modern people, but that refers to a small class headed by literati. Real ordinary people still follow the preference of a big butt and good fertility. It can be said that there is no difference from modern men.
Therefore, although one of the two masters and servants is as beautiful as a fairy, it is the little maid with a better figure that attracts more attention.
However, Gao Jingfei was different from others. He still looked at the lake blue figure at first sight.
It was not that he was attracted by the beauty of the other party, but that an inexplicable emotion suddenly arose in his heart, which seemed to be a sense of familiarity.
Gao Jingfei quickly came to his senses, nodded slightly to the other party, and then turned his attention to the braised duck.
Of course, this was only on the surface. In fact, he was still paying attention to what was going on over there.
Because this feeling similar to love at first sight was something he had never experienced in his two lives, which made him feel very wonderful.
Zhang Jingsheng obviously also noticed something was wrong with these two beauties.
Before waiting for their braised duck to come, they couldn't help but whisper to Gao Jingfei.
"Xiao Fei, do you think they have the same origin as us?"
