"The alliance of the three churches of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism?" Lin Ze pretended to be puzzled and looked at Xuandu and asked.
Xuandu nodded in an extremely affirmative tone and said: "Yes, Emperor Qin secretly broke through the third realm of heaven and man, causing chaos in the heavens. Buddha and Confucian saints sent letters asking the teacher how to solve it."
"For a while, the teacher couldn't make a decision, so he discussed with the Buddha, Confucian saints, and summoned all the three religions to discuss the big plan."
Xuan Du paused as he spoke, and said with a proud look on his face: "The time is set in three days. The three sects will be headed by our Taoist sect, and the location of the meeting will naturally be decided by our Taoist palace."
"Originally, the most suitable place was the Taoist Palace. The teacher considered that Buddha and Confucian saints could not lose face in front of his disciples, so he decided to place the alliance in Handan."
"My junior brother has the dual identity of the Lord of Handan and a disciple of the Taoist Saint. He should represent the Taoist Palace and take the initiative to entertain Buddhist and Confucian heavenly beings. I also ask my junior brother to remember that you must not let the majesty of our Taoist Palace fall."
Lin Ze's face turned a bit ugly when he heard this. Can I say no? Whoever wants to do it can do it when it comes to serving others.
I want to think so, but I can't say it so straightforwardly.
I only heard Lin Ze say politely: "It is my honor to be able to represent the Taoist palace to entertain the Buddhist and Confucian heavenly beings. But my junior brother has never experienced such a big scene, and I don't know how to deal with it for a while. It would be better if my senior brother came forward and my junior brother assisted me."
How is it?"
"It's not that junior brother refuses intentionally, but that he really doesn't dare to accept such a big responsibility easily. If he accidentally loses the Taoist palace's face, how can junior brother explain to the teacher and other senior brothers?"
Xuandu has not yet responded. Zhuang Zhou, who was standing aside, looked unconcerned and interjected: "The second realm of heavenly beings comes forward to entertain us, which is enough to show the majesty of our Taoist palace. Junior brother, there is no need to worry."
Lin Ze looked at Zhuang Zhou coldly and chattered his teeth to express his "admiration" for his second senior brother.
After listening to Zhuang Zhou's words, Xuandu said with a face of approval: "What the second junior brother said is absolutely true. Young junior brother does not need to worry too much. You can just entertain Buddhist and Confucian heavenly beings in the normal way of entertaining envoys."
"Being open-minded and uncompetitive with the world is the way that Dao Gong has always practiced. It does not mean that Dao Gong should be overly obsessed with this in front of outsiders. If Buddhist Confucians feel that the juniors are being treated lightly, they will have their own senior brothers to discuss the Tao with them."
Seeing that it was about to become a foregone conclusion, Lin Ze refused to give up and said: "Senior Brother has to accompany the teacher and has no time to entertain guests. Why not let Second Senior Brother accompany me?"
Even if he went into the water, Lin Ze would have to carry him on his back.
Xuandu glanced at Zhuang Zhou, and regardless of the refusal on his face, he said without any doubt: "Your second senior brother is undisciplined by nature and has no formal appearance all day long. Senior brother, I didn't want him to be involved in this matter. Since the younger junior brother proposed
For this matter, let him accompany you to welcome the guests, just think of it as a way to sharpen his temperament."
"Although my junior brother has only been here for a few months, my senior brother can see that you are a steady person. In the final analysis, this matter still depends on you."
"Second Junior Brother, for the next few days, can you put aside your pretense as a senior brother and listen to the arrangements of your junior brother?"
Zhuang Zhou Youyuan glanced at Lin Ze and replied mournfully: "Junior brother, I obey."
Xuandu turned to Lin Ze and asked, "What do you think, junior brother?"
Having said this, Lin Ze had no choice but to reply: "Elder brother has thought it over thoroughly, and junior brother has no objections."
"That's very good. Senior brother, I have to go back to Dao Palace to report back to the teacher, so it's not convenient for me to stay here any longer."
Xuan Du took a step forward and patted Lin Ze on the shoulder for a rare moment: "I'll leave this matter to you."
After all, the whole thing turned into nothingness and disappeared.
Lin Ze hurriedly shouted: "Senior brother, walk slowly."
As soon as Xuandu left, Zhuang Zhou approached Lin Ze with ill intentions: "Senior brother recently obtained two Taoist canons. After reading them dozens of times, I gained a little. In order to repay the "recommendation" given by me in front of my senior brother, senior brother,
I’ll pass on my experience to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Zhou looked solemn and solemn, and an ethereal charm emerged. Lin Ze's body trembled, and then he found that he could not move.
Ethereality is one of the great ways that Zhuang Zhou understood.
Zhuang Zhou just took action casually and crushed Lin Ze in his realm. The latter didn't even have the slightest strength to resist.
There seems to be only one word difference between the second realm of heaven and the third realm, but in fact, there are several gaps between the two realms.
The topic went far away. After Zhuang Zhou suppressed Lin Ze and couldn't move, he casually pointed at Lin Ze's forehead.
Suddenly, a large amount of mottled information appeared in Lin Ze's mind, which made people dizzy.
After a while, Lin Ze regained consciousness, gritted his teeth and said, "Junior brother, thank you for your great kindness in preaching."
Zhuang Zhou released his hold on Lin Ze, turned around and left, saying arrogantly: "You're welcome."
Lin Ze could only swallow this feeling that his skills were inferior to those of others, and wait for the future.
Lin Ze did not think about slacking off or violating the task assigned by the Taoist Saint, but planned to handle it properly.
This matter seems simple, but in fact it is not simple at all. Lin Ze alone is definitely not enough.
He just heard Lin Ze shouting from afar. He didn't even bother to send someone to inform. He said directly: "Chief officer of the Six Departments, come to the side hall of Zhao Palace immediately to take orders."
After a while, the people who had just left the side hall of Zhao Wang Palace arrived again.
Lin Ze got straight to the point and said: "In three days, the three powerful masters of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, headed by my master Taoist Sage, Buddhist Sage, and Confucian Sage, will meet in Handan to form an alliance."
"I have been ordered by my master Taoist Saint to tidy up Handan City and welcome all the powerful people in the heaven and human realm. If this is done well, there is no chance that my master will give you an opportunity."
"The ministers have worked hard these days, and together with Gu, we have taken care of this matter."
Chen Ping and others bowed and responded: "I obey my orders."
Lin Ze settled the matter on the spot and put forward some specific requirements.
Three days is too short, the reconstruction is unrealistic, and the decoration is just right.
First, there were people from the Pursuit Division of the Criminal Department, wearing leather armor and hanging long knives on their waists. They hung some red silk on a tree by the roadside.
Not to mention, Lin Ze seemed to find it a bit pleasing to the eye.
Without even thinking about the location of the alliance, Lin Ze directly decided on the Zhao Palace.
In addition to Zhao Palace, Lin Ze could not think of any other place in the entire Handan City that was worthy of the status of a group of heavenly beings.
Therefore, Lin Ze focused his main energy here.
Countless craftsmen from the Mo family came in and out of Zhao Wang's palace, divided their work according to blocks, and each led a group of people to renovate the dilapidated place.
Here, Lin Ze's newly built six departments have divided their work according to their responsibilities and cooperated with each other, and their performance is remarkable.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
…
On the fourth day, early in the morning, Lin Ze climbed up the Handan city wall and waited for the arrival of people from the three religions.
As expected, the first ones to come were Dao Sheng and Xuandu.
As the host of Daogong, how could the two of them not arrive in advance?
From a long distance away, Lin Ze bowed in the direction of the Taoist Saint and said, "Disciple welcomes the teacher."
