Chapter 238 The county master worships the mountain, the foundation of the law
Chapter 238 The princess worships the mountain, the foundation of the dharma lineage
"Forget it, I will accompany you to see the situation and see how Song Lin is doing. If this person is really not good, you must listen to me."
"good."
The woman had no choice but to agree.
This girl's name is Qingyu, and she is the princess of the Wu royal family and the daughter of the current emperor.
Although the emperor had dozens of daughters, his status was extremely noble.
The emperor's daughter fiefs the county, also known as the county princess, county princess, or simply the princess and county princess.
Although the royal family is a pawn in the hands of the Heavenly Master, its status is actually not bad.
Under normal circumstances, Taoist alliances compete for the top spot in accordance with the rules.
The position of imperial power represents the ownership of the dragon head position.
After supporting an emperor to ascend to the throne, the emperor named the Heavenly Master as the Imperial Master.
This national master and the Taoist alliance to which it belongs are the Dragon Head Taoist League, which represents the world and has the power to issue orders.
Every year, the royal family selects some members of the royal family to go to various Taoist alliances to become apprentices to strengthen cooperation.
Daomeng is also happy to accept this kind of political resources.
It is the best choice to play the game according to the rules without flipping the table.
Soon, Princess Qingyu led the guards to the Xuanke Temple on the mountain.
It was already night, but the county town was very lively, with people coming and going in the night market, including local residents and businessmen from other places.
"Eunuch Xia, this place is as lively as Yunzhou Mansion. Song Lin is a very capable person. Sister Yunxiao is right."
Qingyu was born into a royal family, so she still had some vision.
She traveled through most of the Wu Kingdom, and most of the counties she visited were lifeless and the people's livelihood was in decline.
It had only been a few years since the last Longyuan Conference, and many county towns had not yet regained their vitality, and even city walls had not been built.
Xuan Ke Guan develops best here.
"Yeah, how did they do it?"
The carriage was moving forward, with Eunuch Xia Quan sitting at the front of the carriage, his back to the carriage, and Qing Yu inside the carriage.
"Develop handicrafts..."
Qingyu said.
Most of the towns in the county have no fields. If there are no jobs, they will turn into large slums.
This place is located near a mountain, and there are many shops related to fur and herbal medicines that we just saw along the road.
From finished products to finished products, the industry here is very developed, coupled with the acquisition by foreign businessmen.
However, the prerequisite for development is that taxes should be low and there should be no extortion by gangs or price-cutting by profiteers.
"How to do this?"
Eunuch Xia was very confused. Are the folk customs in Shanyin County so simple? Officials are not corrupt and businessmen are not treacherous.
"Look at that!"
Qingyu pointed to the corner not far away.
There is a black mist invisible to the naked eye in the corner of the wall. Within the black mist are the underworld soldiers of Lei Mansion.
Not only this corner, but almost every corner and every main road are guarded by Yin soldiers.
Mortals cannot see these Yin soldiers, who monitor the county day and night, except for people's private homes.
All public places, such as pubs, inns, and carriages, are under surveillance by undercover soldiers.
Song Lin called this patrol system "Skynet".
Skynet is more powerful than surveillance in previous lives.
Once the criminals are identified, they will be tracked and even arrested personally.
Moreover, ordinary Yin soldiers have no intelligence, let alone human emotions and desires, and there is no need to worry about doing bad things out of self-interest.
If the mortal government lacks evidence to handle matters, they can go to the Taoist temple office in the city to look for Tianwang Taoist priests.
The Taoist priest Tianwang mobilized Yin soldiers to recreate the development of that place.
"Genius!" Xia Quan said in surprise.
The imperial court also had similar items, such as the evil-proof mirror, which was hung in the center of the yamen to reflect ghosts and ghosts.
Due to cost or other reasons, it is generally only available in state capitals.
This is the first time I have seen this kind of use of Taoist soldiers to rectify the social customs of the country.
"It is said that Xuanke Temple was originally in the city, occupying half of the city, but later moved to the mountains and returned the land to the people."
"If Song Lin were in the imperial court, he would definitely be a famous minister."
Xia Quan smiled and said, feeling much less resistant to this mystical view in his heart.
"But I want to pour some cold water on you. Don't look down upon the viewers below. They are only one county away from this city, and they are nothing more than this."
Qingyu rolled her eyes and smiled slyly: "What if I say he has eight counties under his control?"
"Eight? What does he want to do?"
"Who knows."
Unknowingly, a group of people came to the mountain.
Just as he was about to step onto the stone road, a Taoist priest appeared out of thin air next to him.
"Who is coming?"
"Princess Merlin asks to see you!"
Xia Quan handed over the waist badge.
The Taoist priest looked at it and then recruited a group of Yin soldiers to escort everyone up the mountain.
In the Taoist temple, Song Lin was practicing when his men suddenly came to report him.
"Report, there is a person claiming to be the princess coming to the mountain to visit."
"Princess Princess?"
Song Lin thought for a moment.
Have you ever met any princess?
Could it be that he came here because of his reputation again?
"Arrange for them to sit in the main hall."
Those who come are guests, and it is impossible to drive them away.
Song Lin came to the main hall and saw the girl surrounded by people.
The girl is wearing a snow-white fox fur, with green fingers, and has a luxurious temperament.
Song Lin's pupils glowed with a trace of undetectable white.
The qi gazing technique showed that this woman had purple qi and her status was comparable to that of a prince. She was indeed the daughter of an emperor.
And it seems that he has a lot of cultivation, and he is probably a master of Qi refining?
This is the advantage of the Qi Watching Technique, which is to know the opponent's information in advance.
"Welcome to my humble home!"
Song Lin cupped his fists and saluted.
The status of the royal family is not comparable to that of the Taoist sect, and the background is much stronger than that of the ordinary jungle.
"Are you Guanzhu Song? I have admired you for a long time!"
Although Qingyu is young, she is polite and polite, and does not have the unruly temperament of a rich man.
"The development of Xuan Ke Guan is quite good. I wonder how many dharma lines there are?"
"a lot of."
Anyway, idle time is idle, Song Lin will use his various Dharma veins.
There are four major departments including Chuma Xian, Xiu Zhen Lei Department, Dao Bing Department, and Swordsman Department.
Upon hearing the swordsman's way, Qingyu's eyes lit up.
"Can this method really be cultivated in Zifu?"
"Of course, there are ways to follow up, but they haven't been studied yet."
Apart from Taoist soldiers, Xuan Ke Guan has the highest limit among swordsmen.
The Taoist Military Department uses the Dharma of this world, which theoretically has no upper limit, and is also one of the mainstream of Xuanke view.
"Master of the Temple, I want to worship at the Xuanke Temple." Qingyu stood up and said seriously.
"Worship into Xuanke Guan?"
Song Lin said in surprise.
There are still people choosing this small place.
Don't the direct descendants of the royal family generally worship into the jungle where the Taoist sect is located?
Song Lin was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, let's start with Taoist boys."
"Taoist boy? You're going too far to deceive others. What kind of Taoist temple do you think this is?"
Xia Quan said angrily.
Qingyu gritted her silver teeth and frowned slightly, feeling that Song Lin looked down on her.
"I'm sorry, the entry requirements for Xuan Ke Guan are mind nature and precepts. You haven't learned them before, so you have to start from scratch."
Song Lin will not open a back door for anyone.
Some people may think it's okay to open the back door once, but what will the people below think?
People obeyed the rules honestly and worked hard to climb up, but when someone with a background came in, they easily got what they dreamed of.
In this way, people's hearts will disperse.
I just want to take this opportunity to set an example for everyone.
Let them see that even if they have the background, they have to start from scratch.
Of course, the strength of Qingyu lies here. As long as you go through the path of asking the mind, you can be awarded to a senior Taoist boy. After doing some homework for a period of time, the three masters will guarantee your character and you can be awarded the Du Gonglu.
No matter what, the process has finally gone through.
Now it depends on whether they are willing or not.
Qingyu thought for a long time and asked again: "What precepts should I abide by to prove my character?"
"Three Refuges, Three Rules, and Nine Precepts."
The three refuges are Taoist masters, taking refuge in the Tao, which is the first principle of Taoism.
Having a heart for the great road is the first criterion for selecting people.
.
Three Laws: Do not pretend to be the mind of heaven for your own mind; do not deceive and confuse sentient beings; do not show yourself as a saint in the world and claim to be a god."
The nine precepts: be diligent, respect concessions, kill carefully, do not engage in sexual misconduct, do not steal, do not be angry, do not cheat, do not be arrogant, and do not do anything wrong.
"Does it help to follow this?"
Qingyu asked what all outsiders would ask.
Qingyu felt that Song Lin just looked down on her and made random excuses.
Even if it is said that the male will be passed on but not the female, it is more convincing than this.
Song Lin smiled helplessly, stood up suddenly, his posture lifted like a pine tree, and said loudly:
"This is the foundation to stand on! The success of Xuanke today and in the future cannot be separated from this way! The dharma lineage can be discarded, but the laws of heaven cannot be violated!"
This is Song Lin's attitude.
Traveling to and from the vast world, there will be no shortage of Taoism and Dharma. What will be lacking is the people who spread the Dharma.
If the person who teaches the Dharma is not excellent and has bad conduct, it will eventually backfire on himself.
Even if a person with evil intentions becomes talented by luck, it is just an extra strong person. What does it have to do with the Dharma lineage?
When one person gains power, the Dharma line will flourish; when one person loses power, the Dharma line will decline.
It's just one person's one-man show, it can't make a long-lasting road.
Perhaps this is why Taoism cannot defeat evil spirits.
