Jiangzhou Fucheng.
There was a bustling flow of people, all queuing up to enter the city.
Aaron was still dressed as a farmer, wearing coarse linen clothes. When he entered the city, he showed an ultimatum. This is the best residence permit and pass in ancient times! After all, Dasong also has a road guide system, which is issued by the county. The people want
When traveling far away, you must report to the government and obtain approval.
In fact, it is unlikely that farmers will leave their own county in their entire lives! Only literati, or those with a reputation as a scholar or above, will travel with swords, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles to practice to the end.
In addition, there are Taoist priests and monks who have ultimatums.
After possessing the certificate, Aaron can now theoretically go anywhere without the need for directions, and can also sign up for free at any regular Taoist temple... Theoretically, he has the possibility to travel throughout Dasong without spending a penny!
"Actually...except for scholars, monks, Taoists, and big businessmen, ordinary people simply don't
I can't afford to go far away. The gatekeeper carefully identified the ultimatum. It was specially made so that it was easy to distinguish the true from the false. He also compared the description of the facial features of the characters on it with Aaron one by one. Then he reluctantly believed it and waved to let him go: "
Taoist Master, please! Today's emperors believe in Taoism, and the status of Taoist priests has been improved accordingly, at least a little higher than that of monks.
Aaron walked into the city with a calm expression on his face.
Jiangzhou Fucheng is indeed very prosperous. On both sides of the street are money shops, pawn shops, blacksmith shops, sugar frost shops, powder shops, tea shops, cloth shops, restaurants, brothels, refreshment shops... Among them, small catering shops are the best.
.
The streets are full of people, and from time to time there are sellers carrying poles walking along the streets selling goods, and even boiled water is bought! If a real countryman comes to the city, he will probably be dazzled by everything, and even find a place to stay.
Less than! In fact...the prosperity of Jiangzhou Prefecture can only be considered average, and the capital city is rumored to be the most prosperous in Dasong.
The masters of the Great Vajra Monastery in Hua Di were engaged in lending business. It was a first-class prosperous club and a place where department stores gathered. According to ancient Juren, there was a "Zen Master Huiming" who personally made the roasted pork, which was the best in the world.
He ate it once when he was taking the Jinshi exam, and it still remains unforgettable. Aaron came here for business.
First of all, after possessing the Taoist certificate, he is theoretically a serious Taoist priest, and he must have a few Taoist robes to change.
But a tailor shop in a small town like Luzhouji was a bit displeasing to him.
Nowadays, Taoist priests' uniforms in Dasong are very particular. There are nine types of Taoist scarves: Hunyuan scarf, Jiuliang scarf, Chunyang scarf, Tai Chi scarf, lotus leaf scarf, Kuoshan scarf, Fangshan scarf, Tang scarf and one-word scarf.
If it is more simple, a yellow wood crown will be used on the head. If it is more luxurious, gold, silver or even jade crowns are also common.
In addition, even Taoist robes and cloaks are often embroidered with gold and silver threads.
Aaron didn't intend to be too showy, but at least he couldn't be lower than the average level of his peers. To be honest, he had endured the uncomfortable coarse linen clothes on his body for a long time. Secondly, he was also looking for opportunities to expand his Qi points. After all, the villages and towns were too small.
Potential is limited.
While I was thinking, a Taoist priest came across from me.
He was about thirty years old and had an ordinary appearance. He was wearing a green Taoist robe, dark cloud boots, and a pair of bright eyes. When he saw Aaron, he was surprised.
Aaron didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, he merged directly into the crowd and disappeared...
The Taoist priest looked back a few more times, trying to find Aaron's back, but how could he find it? At this time, he sighed in despair and continued walking.
Not long after, they came to a Taoist temple called Wuyun Temple. "Uncle Cangsong is here." A Taoist boy who was sweeping the house saw this man and saluted quickly: "Master is waiting in the back room..."
"Um.
Cangsong took a slight lead and walked to the backyard and entered a side room.
Not long after, a Taoist boy wearing a boy bun came in and offered fragrant tea.
After a while, another Taoist priest walked in. His hair was gray, but his face was as rosy as a baby, and he looked very good.
He is the master of the local Wuyun Temple, Cangyun Taoist.
At this time, Taoist Cangyun laughed: "Junior brother, I'm late. I encountered something on the way..." Taoist Cangsong saw that the boy had closed the door, so he relaxed a little and sat on his chair: "I just met a man.
Judging from his appearance, this young man is someone who has the destiny to rebel against the king." The expression on Taoist Cangyun's face
He became a little more serious. He knew that this junior brother had obtained the true teaching of fortune-telling and fortune-telling, but he still couldn't help but asked: "Really? 79" Senior brother, can't you believe my tricks? Cangsong
The Taoist was minding his own refreshments and said leisurely: "Reverse the king's order...
In fact, it’s nothing. Dasong has a territory of thousands of miles and a population of tens of millions. There will always be a few of them every year... If the imperial court’s destiny is still there,
There is a real dragon pressing down, and even dragons and pythons have to lie down... So what if you rebel against the king's destiny? On the contrary, because your destiny is suppressed by the court, your life will be full of misfortunes. If you are not careful, your family will be destroyed, your body will be destroyed, and your clan will be destroyed... Only
In times of trouble, perhaps we can ride on the wind and rise
, there is something to be done, but to rebel against the king is to rebel against the king, the facial features are too heavy, and it is indispensable to be the forerunner of the true king... In the future, he will seize the opportunity early and join the true dragon, and maybe he can become a general, a prince, a prince... If his character is more unruly.
Some of them are afraid that they will be punished by the nine tribes."
Master Cangyun listened with rapt attention, and couldn't help but sigh: From my junior brother's point of view, is this rebellion against the king just in time? These words are a bit strong, and even have the flavor of a treacherous minister.
However, people outside the country don’t attach much importance to these things. Cangsong’s expression became solemn: “In my opinion, Bu is afraid that he can cope with it. Dasong has been in the dynasty for more than two hundred years, and the country’s power has been declining. Of course,
...If the emperor works hard, he may not be unable to save his fortune for decades, but this emperor favors treacherous ministers, seeks immortality and immortality, and takes golden elixirs... It is really...
, It’s hard to explain in words!” He replied, “Is it really true that we are in troubled times again? We, the Wuxiao Sect’s junior brother, are traveling around the world, maybe we also want to find a hidden dragon to invest in, right? Cangyun Taoist sighed: “The world is in chaos.
If dragons rise together, how can the living people be blamed? What's more... the only thing a true dragon can't accomplish is death! If the master's sect, Fulongting, fails, it will surely suffer heavy losses."
"But it's not possible if it's not like this. Our cultivators, regardless of Buddhism or Taoism, are all restricted by dragon energy. Don't all Brahma sects say - If you don't obey the Lord, you can't accomplish Dharma? The same is true for our Taoist sect." Cangsong Taoist
He gasped: "If we don't get the support of the imperial court, how can we open up the court?"
There are many lessons learned in history...not to mention taking the True Dragon Qi and greatly increasing our Taoist power. From a secular perspective, if we are not conferred by the imperial court, any prefect or county can label us as monsters and confiscate the property and fields in the temple.
If it were you, how could you endure it? Taoist Cangyun would be embarrassed.
He also knew that he was able to run such a large business in Jiangzhou Prefecture not only because of his superb Taoism, but also because he had the support of the Wuxiao Sect behind him! Otherwise, sooner or later, those officials, big and small, would be able to take him with his belt.
Swallowed by bones.
As soon as I thought about this, I couldn't help but be a little more concerned about the fight for the dragon: "Have you found my junior brother? After Cangsong Taoist was so impassioned, he became a little discouraged: "Alas...my fortune-telling and spiritual eyes are just trivial skills...
…it’s actually useless, although it can
Judging misfortunes and fortunes by looking at people's faces, but there are still some inaccuracies when looking for hidden dragons... Dragons can be big or small, they can ascend or disappear. If they are big, they can swallow clouds and spit out mist, if they are small, they can hide and hide their form, and if they rise, they can soar in the air.
In the universe, there is something hidden lurking in the waves... How can it be a mere coincidence?
Can you find it with the skill of face? When the hidden dragon has not yet appeared, it is really no different from ordinary people. But when the opponent's flying dragon is in the sky, everyone in the world knows that it is Allah, so what's the use? In fact, the dream
Cangsong Taoist still has doubts in his heart
Those who are good at observing Qi numbers are often easily deceived by Qi numbers. What they see may not be true. If this brings the master into a state of eternal destruction, it will be difficult to atone for his sins even with a hundred deaths! Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the things I found some time ago.
A hidden dragon.
The so-called Qianlong, although he has no special appearance, there must be Qi hidden around him! What is Qi? It is power! There are people in your family, fame and courage, these are all Qi! When times are in trouble, one call can be answered by hundreds of people, and the power of the crowd can be gathered.
, it can be done
Great cause! Taoist Cangsong has already cultivated the art of fortune-telling in his sect to the top. He has reached a state of perfection and is not limited to personal appearance. Only then did he find some clues. Just as he was about to go back, he reported it to his sect and sent someone to contact him first.
Fan.
But you can't tell senior brother Cangyun these things.
Although the other party is also of the Cang generation, but he was let out to preside over the Taoist temple, and he was vaguely excluded from the core.
No matter how good the relationship between the two is, this important matter that affects the life and death of the master must not be leaked! Old Taoist Cangyun didn't know the twists and turns in his junior brother's heart, he just sighed: "Taoist skills, Taoist methods... alas... he does the same
Those who are fully aware of the shortcomings of skills are those who are possessed by official aura and dragon aura.
It can even be defeated by those with great luck! For example, Cangsong, who is just good at looking at the appearance of the face, but if you force yourself to go deep inside and check the foundation of others, there will be a backlash immediately! If you forcefully check the foundation of a fifth-grade official, you may
He vomited three liters of blood and became seriously ill.
And looking at Qianlong's foundation, it might cost his life to use Taoist magic on officials, and there will be backlash. If he directly attacks the officials, the backlash will be even greater! Even Taoist practitioners can't bear it! Therefore, the first taboo of Taoist practitioners is that
You must never kill an official, especially an official with great power! On the contrary, he is a member of the martial arts world and behaves unscrupulously, so he will kill the official.
But when a Taoist kills an official, even if he uses martial arts to kill, as long as he has good cultivation, he will still be attacked! Otherwise, if the Taoist skills reach the sky and are not afraid of the dragon's energy, no matter how good the relationship between the two is, it will be a matter of life and death for the master.
, and it must not be leaked! Old Taoist Cangyun didn't know the twists and turns in his junior brother's heart, he just sighed: "Taoism, Taoism...
well…
He is also well aware of the shortcomings of skills, which are defeated by official aura, dragon aura, or even those with great luck! For example, Cangsong,
It's just that the superficial skills of looking at faces are fine, but if you force yourself to go deep inside and check other people's foundations, there will be backlash immediately! Forcibly checking the foundations of a fifth-grade official may cause him to vomit three liters of blood and become seriously ill.
And looking at Qianlong's foundation, it might cost his life to use Taoist magic on officials, and there will be backlash. If he directly attacks the officials, the backlash will be even greater! Even Taoist practitioners can't bear it! Therefore, the first taboo of Taoist practitioners is that
You must never kill an official, especially an official with great power! On the other hand, if he is a martial arts person who acts unscrupulously, he will be killed if he kills an official.
But if a Taoist kills an official, even if he uses martial arts to kill, as long as he has cultivation, he will still be attacked! Otherwise, if Taoism reaches the sky and is not afraid of dragon energy, this world will have become the world of immortal cultivation that Aaron experienced before. The world is divided into sects.
, canonizing the emperor, how could it look like this? However, Taoism cannot directly interfere with Qi, but it can interfere subtly.
For example, the Feng Shui method that Taoists are most good at can point the dragon's cave, and after burying the bones of the ancestors, it can silently protect the descendants, increase their energy, and use it as capital to start a business! Of course, this is just the first pot of gold, which is equivalent to the actual venture capital investment.
Most people fail.
However, as long as there is a success, it means making a lot of money. In addition, it is substantive support. For example, Taoist temples gather together and give people money, which is also support, even more direct and effective! In short, in troubled times, signs will appear.
At this time, people with lofty ideals in Buddhism and Taoism all over the world are silently looking for enlightened masters and investing in them.
In the world of spiritual practice, there is a special term, that is, a fight for the dragon! In the end, the ultimate true dragon will be decided, which will be the future founding emperor. The winner takes all! Cangsong rolled his eyes and talked about other orthodox matters:
"But...it's hard to say in these troubled times...I heard that today's world is the most
For the favored Chongming Dao, he himself has been integrated with the fate of the court and is inseparable. He will never watch the court overthrow and lead to the decline of the Taoism. He is trying his best to keep the dragon's life alive. "This... world
How can one person restore this decline?" Taoist Cangyun's eyes widened.
"Who knows... It's just like a strong man's arm being cut off, a gecko's tail being cut off, and finding another place to raise a dragon. I can't say.
There is going to be a move to the south..." Cangsong Taoist said at the end, his voice was as low as a mosquito. "Can this be done?" Cangyun Taoist face was covered with blood, and it was extremely pale.
"Destiny is unpredictable!" Cangsong Taoist also sighed: "Chongming Taoism has been canonized by the imperial court, and its aura is strong. There are five real people alive, and there is even a great master... Its foundation is extremely profound, and it has a treasure to suppress its aura.
Is there really any unpredictable way that can restore destiny? "In addition, there are dragons everywhere in the world, and there are sects behind them...Some people have even found them on barbarians!"!
At that time, it was also the time when Qianlong was making trouble in our sect. Cangsong Taoist added in his heart: "It's a pity that the person who rebelled against the king's orders left today. Otherwise, he could have been used to open the way in advance and fight for Qianlong, and even pass it on."
Less backlash... "Master Taoist, are you satisfied with this outfit? At the same time, in a clothing store, Aaron was changing his Taoist robes, looking around, and there was a young man with a lotus tongue following him.
People in Dasong are very Taoist, and even ordinary wealthy people like to buy a few sets of Taoist robes for daily wear, so there are many ready-made clothes in the shops.
Aaron didn't want to bother, so he chose the ready-made clothes to try on.
At this time, he was wearing a Taoist robe mainly in black and white, with climbing boots on his feet, a yellow wooden Taoist crown on his head, a silver-rimmed crane on his coat, and a Yin-Yang Tai Chi pattern on his back.
Under the clothes, Fang La's originally not ugly face seemed to have become three points more handsome out of thin air.
The glances from passing girls can prove everything.
“Not bad, not bad”
Aaron was quite satisfied: "Like this, here are two more sets, and I'll wear them interchangeably!" "Okay." The clerk's eyes lit up and he smiled broadly, "This Taoist robe costs five guan in our store, and three sets cost 15 guan."
Through…”
Fifteen guan, that is, fifteen taels of silver, is really not cheap.
To replace it with Fang La, we might have to sell our land.
But thanks to Gu Juren's several gifts, Aaron was still well off.
Although I knew I could negotiate the price, I was too lazy to make any noise, so I paid the full price directly, carried a package on my back, and walked out of the clothing store as the waiter said goodbye.

Pedestrians on the road saw a handsome Taoist priest walking high-spirited and drinking wine gracefully, and they couldn't help but pay attention.
'Well... Now that I have these clothes, the next step is to investigate the faith ecology of Fucheng, and then decide whether to pretend to be gods and ghosts... Uh... I feel that the impact of jujube is not enough, and I have to find a living sign... Kou Yalun rolled his eyes, and there is
Chapter completed!
