"Oh?" Lu Sheng was overjoyed. He didn't expect that if he tried casually, he would actually be able to access Taoism through this line.
He quickly asked: "I don't know where my senior teacher is now? Can he also teach me the Taoism of this prince?"
He asked so straightforwardly that Wuyouzi felt helpless.
The sect he was born into is a remote sect called Qinghe Dao. It is said that the founder was born in the Wuding sect and learned the skill of taming cranes.
Later, he escaped from a turmoil. Because the skills he learned were not up to par, and he didn't have the fundamentals to maintain health and longevity, he had no choice but to ignore his dignity and descend to the ordinary world, where he lived happily for decades relying on high-ranking officials and nobles.
After his death, his two disciples established Xunxian Dao and Qunhe Sect respectively. However, they both declined.
Two hundred years later, the master of this generation carried forward the skill of raising cranes and added a set of breathing and health-preserving techniques that he found from nowhere, so he simply founded the Qinghe Tao sect.
It is said to be a sect, but in fact it is not recognized by the real Taoist sect, that is, it is an ordinary miscellaneous Taoist sect that fluctuates with the wind and rain.
It was under such circumstances that Wuyouzi entered Qinghe Tao to learn some basic teachings, and then came out to cheat.
What he didn't expect was that even if he only knew a little bit about breathing and breathing skills, he could actually live a very smooth life in the ordinary world.
Now this month, the young prince of the Royal Palace actually summoned him on his own initiative because of this.
Hearing that Lu Sheng wanted to learn Taoism, Wuyouzi smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I don't know that it will take at least dozens of years for this Taoist method to go from being basic to being subtle and then to being effective.
Taoism, Taoism, what you cultivate is the Tao, what you follow is the Dharma, and you rely on the Dharma to polish your own mind, Taoist heart.
How much time does it take to polish people's hearts? Your Majesty is also a man who understands, and he should also understand that it is easy to change a country's nature, but it is hard to change it."
What he said made sense.
"When you cultivate the Tao, do you cultivate the heart?" Lu Sheng repeated, thoughtfully.
"Since the prince has his heart towards the Tao, the poor Taoist will not hide his secrets." Wuyouzi cleared his throat, "In cultivating the Tao, we must first cultivate the human heart. Normally, this process will take at least twenty years. Once the human heart is clear, it can be cut.
Only after breaking away from worldly relationships can we formally come into contact with the original text of Taoism."
"The original version of Taoism?"
"Yes, this dharma is divided into two parts: the main sutra and the auxiliary sutra. The main sutra is the fundamental dharma for establishing a stable life and directly pointing to the great road. If you practice it, you can live forever.
This supplementary sutra is a technique for killing and avoiding disasters. It is cultivated to protect oneself and to escape from causal disasters." Although Wuyouzi's own cultivation is not very good, the secret is explained clearly.
"Which Taoist priest is practicing?"
"The White Feather Sutra, the poor Taoist has practiced the Baiyu Sutra of my sect for more than forty years, but his level is still the same." Wuyouzi shook his head and said helplessly.
"Taoist Master is a real person." Lu Sheng smiled.
Wuyouzi didn't dare to make it up. His true identity had been revealed in the past few years. He was fine with other people and could speak like a lotus flower, but with the prince of the Moon Palace, if he was exposed,
That is the real crime of decapitation.
"I don't dare to speak nonsense in front of the prince."
Lu Sheng thought for a moment and probably understood that, judging from the mysterious power of Taoism in this world, Wuyouzi was actually willing to kowtow to a mortal. Obviously, the strength of the sect behind him was probably questionable.
"Let's see. My prince is interested in Taoism. Can the Taoist priest contact your sect?"
"Is what the prince said true? You must know that your mind is not perfect, and if you practice righteousness, you are seeking death."
Wuyouzi was stunned. What he said was very clear. Before entering, you need to polish your character for twenty years. If you don't pass the test, nothing will happen.
Although the sect he belongs to is extremely weak, it still has some immortality techniques that can be considered serious.
According to the rules and restraint, if the prince really wants to practice Taoism, although it is impossible for the sect behind him to really cultivate for twenty years, it will still take ten or eight years. After all, this is not a rule, but a matter of life.
"Of course we are serious. Taoist priest, go ahead and do the activity. If you can do it, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!" Lu Sheng nodded. He roughly calculated the speed of time in this world last night, and it is about one to six hundred times faster than the world of demons.
In other words, more than 600 days here are equivalent to one day there.
One day is equivalent to nearly two years, and he can calmly plan and understand the heart of reincarnation here.
Although he felt that this time flow rate was obviously abnormal, he couldn't care about that much at the moment.
"In this case, Your Majesty, please wait for news from Pindao." Wuyouzi's breathing was obviously faster and he quickly left.
A thousand taels of silver!
Ten taels of silver can enable a family of three to live with three meals a year, and a thousand taels of silver is enough for him to work hard to serve the Ning family for more than two years.
Although Wuyouzi is nominally an abandoned disciple of the sect, this is just to avoid the punishment rules of the sect.
In fact, even now, he continues to send a large amount of property to his sect every year as an abandoned disciple.
Qinghe's Taoism is humble and he cannot eat the wind or drink the dew. Naturally, he can only obtain the various food and beverage enjoyments he needs by deceiving the common people.
With this thousand taels of silver, not only could he quickly complete half of this year's tasks, but he could also successfully buy the young lady he had always wanted to redeem.
Wuyouzi hurried out of the palace, her heart burning.
In fact, there are many people in the world who want to get in touch with Taoism, but every one of them can't persist for a few years before giving up completely and falling into the process of polishing their character.
As for whether the prince really intends to practice Taoism, he doesn't care. It doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not.
The important thing is that in the process of the prince's cultivation, he can fake the power of a tiger and borrow tiger skins to make a lot of money. This is the last word.
In fact, he still had some things to say. The Qinghe Road where he was located was actually quite literal.
The main teaching of this sect is humble, and the sub-sect is dedicated to raising cranes to guard the spiritual birds of the mountain gate. It doesn't even have any killing skills.
To put it bluntly, they are farmers who raise cranes specifically for their own use. But what are the uses of cranes? Without seriousness, the cranes raised are slightly smarter and have better-looking coats than ordinary cranes.
Other Taoist sects do not even admit that the cranes raised by Qinghe Taoism are immortal cranes.
"Whatever, in this world, it's a credit to be able to fool someone!" Wuyouzi left the palace and quickly went to a restaurant on the roadside.
About half an hour later, he Shi Shiran slowly walked out, got on the sedan and headed back to his house.
Several white homing pigeons flew out of the restaurant and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
***********
Lu Sheng got the news about Taoism from Wuyouzi, and then he waited slowly.
The days passed day by day.
Every day, he asked the servants of the palace to go to the staff of the cultural office of the palace to inquire about the news.
The civil affairs staff of the palace are the core group in charge of confidential information personally appointed by Prince Yue. The various materials and information they know are the most timely. If you want to understand the world, you must start with intelligence.
While Lu Sheng was waiting for news about Wuyouzi, he was also gathering information. He also sent people to look for other possible opportunities to come into contact with Taoism.
However, Taoism is really not that easy to cultivate. After more than ten days, I have found nothing. Except for Qinghe Tao, there are really no other channels for contacting Taoism.
After more than ten days, Lu Sheng felt that the Yang Yuan in his body had become looser, and even the spirit-stimulating threads had some activity.
He also has a better understanding of the basic rules of this world. He believes that it will not be long before he can completely restore his original strength.
In order to wait for the news from Qinghe Road, Lu Shenglian and Yuan Jikong kept asking for outings, and turned down all of them.
It's just that the news of Qinghe Road didn't arrive, but the news of Prince Yue's expedition came back.
Prince Yue led the army to conquer the foreign tribes in the west. This time it was still a great victory, but compared to the easy victories in the past, this expedition was extremely difficult. If it were not for the full support of the three major generals under his command, Prince Yue himself would not be able to make this trip.
Probably unscathed.
"The empire is about to collapse. How difficult it is to save such a behemoth." Lu Sheng slowly folded the intelligence paper and threw it into the brazier to burn it.
"Speaking of which, the most powerful fighter in the Xiya Dynasty is mainly the Shenwu General Zhu Chengguo. Prince Yue and the other generals can only be regarded as second-level generals.
But from the intelligence, it seems that Zhu Chengguo is about to be unable to hold on anymore. Now there is turmoil on three sides from the west to the north and to the east. Encirclement and suppression are ongoing. Taxes are extremely heavy. The entire official system only knows how to drink and have fun."
Lu Sheng knew very well that his noble status was noble, but he was also tied to this huge dynasty.
Even if we don't consider the cause and effect of wishes, if the dynasty is overthrown and destroyed, as the only son of one of the most important military commanders in the imperial court, he will definitely end up dead.
"First get in touch with this legendary Taoist method. If it doesn't work, just follow the pure martial arts." But Lu Sheng didn't know yet how much spiritual power it would take to advance to the level of an immortal or a god in this world's martial arts.
Just as I was thinking about this, a servant suddenly rushed in from outside the house.
"Mi Gong pays homage to the Crown Prince!"
"But do you have faith?" Lu Sheng had been waiting impatiently for the past few days. He could obviously practice the martial arts he was good at directly, but because it was not the main system, he had to endure it.
"No, it's the rebellion of the Jusha clan in the southern part of the empire! The thief general Wang Chong led an army of 200,000, named Da Wu, and became the independent king!" Ding Migong, the family member, was the person specifically responsible for going to the staff to inquire about the situation. At this time, some
After saying this, Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly.
Although Huang Jing came to this world not long ago, and although Huang Jing is an unlearned noble son, he still has the most basic qualities of a noble son. He knows what the rebellion of the Jusha clan in the south means.
The Jusha clan is right next to Yundu, the empire's granary. For Jusha's rebellion, naturally the first target of attack must be Yundu.
The entire empire has lost its granary, and the consequences are self-evident.
"It's really going to be over now." Lu Sheng stood up suddenly. From Huang Jing's memory and the situation information he gathered during this period, he roughly judged that within two years, if the Xiya Empire could not solve the granary
The problem must be the result of the collapse of the country and the collapse of the earth.
For a prince like him, as a representative of the original ruling class, the only outcome is to be overthrown and executed.
There is no second way to go.
"No wonder that yellow scene ended gloomily, allowing me to take advantage of it." Lu Sheng felt anxious.
"In this situation, Prince Yue and other important generals are fighting fires everywhere and are exhausted, and the situation is unstoppable.
It must be done as soon as possible, otherwise even I may not be able to start and end well."
