There is also a Taoist Association in the capital.
The five-level Daozheng in charge is affiliated with Honglu Temple and has the responsibility of managing the ultimatums of Taoist priests in the world.
This day.
At the door of the Taoist Association, a Taoist priest came.
The two government officials who were guarding the gate were startled when they saw a white tiger swaggering across the street.
Aaron turned over and got off the tiger's back, and said to the two government officials: "I am a poor Taoist, Xu Lingzi, and I would like to see the Taoist priest in charge of our department..."
"Taoist Priest, please wait a moment..."
A yamen servant took the invitation and looked at the white tiger. He didn't dare to say anything. He even forgot about the red envelope and went to the office to report it.
Not long after, a Taoist wearing a crane cloak came out. He was a little surprised when he saw Bai Hu, and he saluted again: "I am a poor Taoist, I have seen my Taoist friend, please, Taoist friend!"
Aaron asked Xiaoyu to wait at the door and walked into the Yamen.
There are many buildings in Daohuisi, and a large garden was built at the entrance, with small bridges, flowing water, and bamboo towers and high platforms... Although it is not gorgeous, it is very exquisite.
What's more important is that as soon as he entered, Aaron felt a breath of fresh air coming out of his face. He couldn't help but feel refreshed physically and mentally. He immediately knew that the person who presided over the construction of the Taoist Association should be a man of cultivation.
"Fellow Taoist, please!"
Wu Mingzi invited Aaron to a public room. The two sat down, and a Taoist boy came to serve tea.
He took a sip of the fragrant tea and then asked: "Fellow Taoist, why are you here?"
Aaron smiled slightly: "I went into the mountains by mistake before, met strangers, and practiced Taoism... But I also wanted to contribute to the court and promote my Taoist sect. When I met the official's banquet for a thousand years, I had to come...
…”
Wumingzi stroked his beard.
This request was not beyond his expectation: "Each Taoist guild secretary has the right to recommend, and the general secretary in the capital naturally also has the right. Since Taoist friends can subdue the white tiger, they are naturally practicing Taoism... It's just..."
Aaron knew it well and stuffed a banknote over without leaving any trace: "The poor Taoist naturally knows the rules and will not embarrass the Taoist priest..."
"Previously, the officials had said that each locality should select talents and promote talents, and the pearls should not be left behind... From this point of view, it is possible that there are some omissions in various localities. Fortunately, our general department can also try to make up for it..."
Wu Mingzi smiled and drank tea with Aaron for a while before sending Aaron out.
I have to say that this attitude made Aaron very satisfied.
'After all, no official can guarantee anything when doing things. As long as you don't refuse, the matter will be settled 60% of the time!'
Walking out of the Taoist yamen, a Taoist priest in red clothes was walking in hurriedly. When he saw Aaron, he was startled at first.
Immediately, I was even more surprised to see him riding away on a tiger, and couldn't help but ponder.
After a while, after watching Aaron's back disappear, he turned around and hurriedly walked into the Taoist Hall.
The fifth-rank official of the Taoist Association is actually held by civil servants. However, the following deacons, although of low rank, are all some real practitioners.
Wu Mingzi is one of them.
Taoist Chifu walked into the public room and saw Wu Mingzi handling official duties. He couldn't help but laugh: "Junior Brother Wulong..."
"I've met Senior Brother Huoyun!"
When Wu Mingzi saw the person coming, he quickly stood up and saluted. This was the true teaching of Chongming Taoism, and his cultivation level far exceeded him: "Senior brother, has the matter been settled?"
"I heard a message from the south before, but it was a near miss..."
Huo Yunzi sat down carelessly. He actually did not agree with Wu Mingzi's practice of being delayed by secular affairs.
I even felt that the other person was too pedantic and not a true Taoist.
At this time, he asked thoughtfully: "Who is that Taoist who went out just now? What is he here to do?"
"Jiangzhou Xu Lingzi... somehow managed to subdue a white tiger and wanted to go to the Qianqiu Banquet. He is quite knowledgeable."
After Wu Mingzi explained the situation, Huo Yunzi angrily scolded: "Junior brother... you are confused! How can this person get to see an official?"
This reprimand was so unceremonious that Wu Mingzi was immediately stunned.
Huo Yunzi shook his head: "Your Taoism is shallow, and you haven't practiced the art of physiognomy and bone touching, so you still can't tell... That Xu Lingzi has a lot of energy, I'm afraid he is a key figure, and he is used to gaining fame... If
If this person gets close to the dragon energy, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster!"
Wu Mingzi was startled, and then broke into a cold sweat: "I am indeed confused...but some elders in my Tao have always felt that it is not good to be too close to the dragon spirit, so they silently promoted the Qianqiu Banquet, and some thought of going along with the flow and silently parting ways.
Meaning!"
"Haha... As long as you enter the gate of true cultivation, you will have the sense of heaven. Mortals may be able to cut it clean, but how can we separate it?"
Huo Yunzi sneered and said: "Heaven's secret backfires. As long as there is cultivation in the body, it is cause and effect... Mortals are not afraid of this. They have to wait until death to get retribution. This is the rule of heaven and earth. If it can be divided early... Grand Master
Why not do it with real people?”
"Then...what should I do?"
Wu Mingzi looked around and lowered his voice.
"Of course there is a plan in the door..." Huo Yunzi sighed, Xuanwu Lake in the south was just planning for the worst.
The best plans are to continue to save the life of Dasong Zhenlong!
"It's lucky that I came here today, and I met another person with great luck!" Thinking of this, Huo Yunzi smiled: "Junior brother, tell me carefully... This Xu Lingzi, maybe
It’s also a hidden dragon!”
"Qianlong?!"
Wu Mingzi was shocked.
"What about the hidden dragon? A few years ago, the envoy Zhang Jiedu, whose blue and purple energy turned into a canopy, was also a dragon... He was even certain to become a real dragon. What will be the outcome?"
Huo Yunzi smiled: "As long as we rely on the True Dragon of Dasong, we can still suppress it and slowly chip away at it... We can also use its luck to increase the Taoist skills of the real people in the sect, and at the same time, we can continue the country for Dasong."
There is only one true dragon. As long as Dasong's destiny is still there, Qianlong will still have to be suppressed.
The same was true for Zhang Ye, the military governor.
In fact, he fell into the scheme of the great master of the sect early on, and was used to help Dasong wipe out the rebels in the Central Plains, causing dragons and pythons to fight each other. This move continued Dasong's destiny for at least twenty years!
In addition, Chongming Dao has also gained a lot of benefits, and the promotion of at least two real people in the sect is related to this!
Moreover, it also paid off part of the dragon energy karma.
It can be said that after Zhang Ye's death, even if Dasong was destroyed, the backlash to Chongming Taoism would not be so great as to wipe out the Taoism!
This is the power of the great master’s planning! It is also the magical effect of Taoism!
Therefore, Qianlong is not scary.
The key is to find it in time, kill it in advance, or take advantage of it!
'If I get the Qianlong Qi, maybe... I will be the next one to be promoted to a real person.'
Huo Yunzi was excited.
…
The next day.
When Aaron came to Daohuisi again to inquire about the news, he realized that something was wrong.
"Taoist Priest Wulongzi has something to do, and you won't see any guests today?"
He looked at the government officials who were blocking him in front of him, and asked again: "What about if I meet other deacons or even be honest?"
"Other deacons also have important matters. As for Daozheng, he is a fifth-rank official..."
The officer glanced at Aaron and replied with a sneer, the meaning of which was very obvious.
Aaron was furious. Things had changed like this. Something must have happened that he didn't know about.
Therefore, he just sneered, turned around and left.
Watching the white tiger leave, the two government officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, the things ordered by above must be done, but this person is not easy to mess with. If there is a conflict and the white tiger eats them, there will be no way to deal with it!
After Aaron left, Wu Longzi and Huo Yunzi walked out of the Taoist temple: "Brother, this step has been taken, what about the second step? This Xu Lingzi rides a white tiger through the market every day, and he has already
Famous among the capital, this wind will one day blow to the palace... When the time comes, we won't be able to stop it!"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Huo Yunzi said confidently: "The official family believes in Taoism, and many officials have long been dissatisfied. Many of them are upright people who look down on me who believe in Ming Taoism, let alone those who want to advance in vain.
, as long as the wind is released
Go, sooner or later this person will be targeted... Haha, White Tiger is auspicious, are those powerful people really unmoved? They are just suppressing it on purpose because of the Qianqiu Banquet and the official's face... When the dust settles, this person
It will definitely be knocked down into the mud."
"But... Qianlong is difficult to influence. The Grand Master's previous orders for Zhang Ye were a coincidence, and it happened due to timing... Should we also invite a real person to come and make some calculations for Xu Lingzi?"
Wu Longzi felt a little unsafe.
"Let's wait and see."
Huo Yunzi refused without thinking. Qianlong is lucky. The more people know about it, the more people will share the benefits.
"Then who does Senior Brother want to find?"
Wu Longzi asked again.
"Of course it's the young Privy Councilor," Huo Yunzi replied.
Tong Jing was born as a eunuch. He once served as a local governor, so he held military power and had some military exploits. He later took charge of the Privy Council and was known as the "Tong Xiang". He is also one of the big shots in the court today.
More importantly, he has meritorious deeds in Song, has a strong temperament, is upright, and has always disliked Buddhism.
There is no need to even provoke him, as long as he knows that Xu Lingzi is there, he will definitely attack him.
With this big boss coming forward, he didn't even need to show up, just an attitude, and Aaron's situation was very dangerous.
…
"Um?"
Aaron returned to the Great Vajra Temple and performed a fortune telling for himself as usual.
"A great evil matches a small good fortune?"
As he looked at the divination results, his expression gradually became serious.
The future is not set in stone!
He already knew this.
And this hexagram obviously means that things have changed!
"And all of this seems to have started when I went to the Daohui Department. Could it be that I have a conflict with this Yamen born horoscope?"
Of course Aaron also knew that he was in a bit of a dangerous situation at this time.
Riding a white tiger swaggering through the city every day, I don't know how many people covet me, all because I have the possibility to participate in the Qianqiu Banquet and wear a fake tiger skin.
If it is finally decided that he cannot participate in the Qianqiu Banquet, it will be great fun. Coveters from all sides will swarm him and maybe eat him alive!
'After all... the transcendence in this world is too weak. It is said that even a Taoist master, surrounded by fifty armored men and under the influence of strong bows and crossbows, will still be decapitated!'
‘Why hasn’t this sword-controlling skill been unlocked yet? I feel so insecure...the beast-taming skill can’t tame humans either, bad review!’
After thinking about it, Aaron finally went out and continued eating roast pork.
"Taoist Master Xu Lingzi, come to eat barbecue again."
By now he was almost familiar with the monks at the barbecue stall, and they greeted each other with smiles.
"Yes... If the matter cannot be done, I will have no choice but to return to the countryside to practice cultivation. Alas... I don't know if I will be able to eat the barbecue you cooked in the future."
Aaron took a handful of lettuce and used it to wrap the meat, while sighing.
The great monk who was grilling the meat smiled and said: "Amitabha... Taoist priest, your spirit passes through people, and you will have your day..."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
…
Three days later.
Aaron gradually felt that the atmosphere was even more wrong.
When I came to the courtyard at this time, I saw a young novice monk coming over. He quickly delivered a note and ran away immediately.
When he opened it and took a look, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly: "Chongming Road, Huo Yunzi? Tong Jing?"
Through the relationship with the Great Vajra Temple, Aaron finally knew who was blocking him.
"Chongming Dao is the most respected path among officials. Several real people are stationed in the palace to refine elixirs, which is no small matter... In addition, Tong Jing was born as an eunuch and had many connections in the palace. He also held military power... This
If the two families deliberately block the blockade, even if it is just an attitude, it will be difficult for me to break through!"
"Hmm... The Great Vajra Temple gave me this news because it was unpredictable... Most probably it still wants me to go to the ring with Chongming Dao and watch the internal fighting within the Taoist sect... But I still have to accept this favor."
Aaron complained and saw the bottom of the note.
It is impossible for the Great Vajra Monastery to risk offending both parties by going to introduce Aaron in person.
However, they did give an interesting piece of information.
Today's officials like to go on patrol incognito, so they may not be unaware of these things.
However, since Chongming Dao and Tong Jingdu have shown their attitude, the officials cannot insist on having their own way. After all, Aaron's attraction is still too small to be worth it...
Recently, the other party likes Mianhuasuliu very much and seems to be very interested in a famous prostitute...
Aaron's eyes widened more and more as he watched: 'Damn...if I really do this, I'm going to be a demon path...'
'But there seems to be no other way like Chongming Road... I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch...'
After thinking about it, he made a calculation in his mind, and it turned out to be 'good luck', and he immediately made up his mind.
Anyway, I'm just here to cheat, it's just a meal, it's not shabby!
If this reputation is bad, it will be bad...
…
It’s the time when the lanterns first come on again.
There are countless brothels of various kinds in the capital, but the most famous one today is the Alum Tower.
Among them, the carved beams and painted buildings are extremely gorgeous, and the sound of silk and bamboo is constantly heard every day. Countless nobles, wealthy businessmen, and literati come here to have banquets.
The reason is naturally that the women here are the most wonderful. Not only are they beautiful and fragrant, but they are also good at poetry and songs, and can sing duets with the guests.
The most famous among them is a famous prostitute named ‘Wang Shishi’…
Aaron abandoned the white tiger and walked to the night market. He saw lights and colorful lights everywhere, BMWs and cars filling the streets, making it very lively.
After turning into a street, the music of Mimi flourished on both sides, and there were all kinds of brothels and pavilions, with thin and round breasts and fat ones... When you came to the Alum Tower in the middle, you saw that it was built grandly, elegantly but not vulgarly, with green gauze tents on both sides.
Floating, there is a couplet hanging - 'Singing and dancing fairies, romantic flower queens'!
