Chapter 33 Another Skilled Cultivator Comes Outside Bianliang

Chapter 33 Another capable Taoist monk came from outside Bianliang

However, almost every day, the people of Bianliang live next to those official mansions.

You can always hear the angry roars of various old fathers next door, and even male and female voices roaring one after another.

There was also the sound of teenagers rolling and crawling, howling like ghosts and wolves, which was very scary to hear.

All in all, the sales volume of fine rattan in Bianliang, Tokyo has soared during this period, and some rattan merchants even want to increase their prices.

Nai He came to buy this kind of sharp tool for educating children, and they were all stewards of officials of fifth rank and above.

I really can't afford to provoke them. If they smash the store in anger because of their wanton price increase, no one in Kaifeng Prefecture will be willing to take up the lawsuit.

Because it is said that there are several children of officials in Kaifeng Prefecture who also want to participate in this special examination.

Everyone often leaves work early and goes back home to teach their children in person.

So the question is, since the child can take the special examination, if he can pass the special examination, can he also try the provincial examination?

Although there is a high probability that it will be done just by giving it a try, no one can guarantee that if their child's brain gets hot, he will be able to succeed in the imperial examination? Right, don't be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the unexpected.

This is just like the probability of smoke coming out of ancestral graves. It won’t happen under normal circumstances, but what if it does?

Especially those officials who were scholars themselves were treated one by one like chicken blood.

The old Taoist smiled calmly, made another gesture, and pointed at the copper pot. This time, the liquid turned pale white.

Seeing what the old Taoist said, Zhao Ji became interested.

But now, there are really not many Taoist priests with cultivation and real ability in Yuqing Zhaoying Palace..."

"What if someone wants to drink?"

"This wine is good. It seems that the Taoist Master is indeed quite capable."

After finishing his training, the official Zhao Ji walked out of the hall in high spirits and stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at the luxurious but quiet Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.

"In that case, just ask the Taoist priest to give Zhao a cup of tea."

As a result, the family is restless, and I want to ask a Taoist priest who has practiced Taoism to do some magic for my family to drive away evil spirits."

Of course, it's not that there are no mistakes, but they are in the minority after all, since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

But the problem is that Master Hunjun asked him to take part in the imperial examination, and it was also the imperial examination for Jinshi. This is the most annoying thing, okay?

Every day is not complete if I don’t carry my strict father’s attitude to the extreme, and even use all the self-motivation and stimulation methods that I was able to pass the exam on my children.

I saw a slightly turquoise liquid slowly pouring out of the copper pot.

Everything is of inferior quality, but the concept of being good at reading has been deeply engraved into the flesh and blood of the people of the Song Dynasty.

After hearing this, the official Zhao Ji looked at the table. There was only a copper pot and a few small copper bowls.

Behind this man, there were several strong guards with swords standing, and beside them stood a white-faced butler with no beard.

I don't know what I thought of, and my face looked a little sad.

The faint scent of tea lingered in front of the official Zhao Ji's nose.

"Well, that's alright, Yang Jian, you can send someone to test it out and see if there is really something magical about it. If so, report it to me."

If someone comes out of the imperial examination, the elders who are parents will be smiling...

As the saying goes, only by enduring hardship can one become a master. Let these ignorant children swim happily in the ocean of the Four Books and Five Classics.

"How come you have some tricks? Can you tell me about it?"

"I heard that the Taoist priest can know the past and the future. It seems that a wealthy family in the south of Niuxing Street in the east of the outer city has encountered something evil.

An old Taoist with gray eyebrows smiled and looked at the handsome man with two short beards sitting in front of him.

After listening to the Taoist priest's sermon, Zhao Ji meditated in the hall for more than half an hour, and then slowly opened his eyes, which was the end of his day's monastic journey.

At this moment, Taoist Wang is explaining the "Huang Ting Jing", also known as "Laozi Huang Ting Jing".

For Gao Zhang, "The Thousand Character Essay" was all in his mind, so there would definitely be no problem if he tried elsewhere.

When I heard that after the Taoist priest met the rich man, he could calculate with his fingers the day on which evil things appeared in the rich man's house.

During the Jin Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, the "Zhongjing Jing" was added. The author was still Laozi.

The old Taoist nodded slightly, pointed at the copper pot with one hand, then lifted the pot and tipped it toward the copper bowl in front of him.

It is a Taoist monograph on health preservation and immortality cultivation, including "The Jade Sutra of the Outer Scenery of the Huangting" and "The Jade Sutra of the Inner Scenery of the Huangting".

"This believer (the Taoist name for lay people), please sit down. I wonder if the believer wants to drink tea, wine, or water?"

According to legend, it was Wei Huacun, the Taoist Master of Heaven, who created his own sect and spread it throughout the world.

#####

Deep in the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, a Taoist priest who looked like an immortal was sitting in the palace, preaching to the Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, who also wore a Taoist robe with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes closed.

When he heard that it was a story about catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, the feudal and superstitious Zhao Ji suddenly became energetic, slowed down and listened to Yang Jian's story.

Because it pays attention to thoughts, meditates quietly, is simple and easy to implement, and is very suitable for the taste of scholar-bureaucrats, it has been widely spread in society since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"What the officials said is absolutely true. However, I heard today that another capable Taoist cultivator has arrived in Bianliang City..."

Yang Jian on the side had a strange look on his face and came closer.

"Why, no matter what Zhao wants to drink, Taoist Master can pour it out of this pot?"

Moreover, when exorcising evil spirits from the homes of wealthy households, he was able to ask God Liu Ding Liujia out of thin air to send rootless water, and after burning the talisman to turn the water into water, he could drive away all evil and filth in the wealthy households' homes. This was quite an impressive feat.

After pouring it into the cup, Yang Jian on the side stepped forward, first picked up the cup of slightly turbid liquid, brought it to his nose and sniffed it.

"I don't dare. I'm a poor Taoist who doesn't have enough cultivation and low magic power. He only has a brief knowledge of this small path..."

Upon hearing that, the Hunjun Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, he nodded and gave instructions.

"My slave understands." Yang Jian agreed respectfully and quickly followed the emperor's footsteps.

Looking at the cup of tea, Zhao Ji looked at the copper pot and spoke leisurely.

"Oh?" With just one sentence, Zhao Ji focused his attention on Yang Jian.

"Since the construction of the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, it has been to summon the world's most accomplished people to preach and teach.

"I heard that there is a wild Taoist living in Xiaoguan outside the city. He has quite a lot of magic and is well known. I specially went to invite him..."

The thinking method in "Huang Ting Jing" is one of the main cultivation methods promoted by ancient Taoism.

The old Taoist laughed and waved his sleeves as if he was unfazed by honor or disgrace.

"A few small skills are not worth mentioning. I wonder if Zhao Xinshi came here today to find the old way..."

When Yang Jian saw the look from the official Zhao Ji, he knew it was time for him to continue his performance.
