There was very little smoke from the incense burner, and on the corridor outside the palace gate, two figures wearing purple ribbon robes slowly exited the gate.
One of these two people is fat and the other is thin. They are wearing apricot-colored Taoist robes with wide sleeves and wearing purple lotus crowns. At first glance, they are the attire of the highest-ranking Taoist sect.
At this time, there happened to be a group of wild geese flying slowly in the sky, but when they were about to cross Xingling Palace, the group of wild geese quickly turned around and naturally avoided the sky above the palace.
"Everything has animism, and all living things are worshiped by Zhishengzun. Wherever he lives, living creatures will naturally retreat."
Yue Dewen sighed softly.
His Majesty's temperament suddenly changed a while ago. I wonder if it is related to the sudden liquidation of Dong Zong.
Dongzong has always been closest to His Majesty before.
But now...
"Fellow Taoist Chongxuan be careful. This is a sacred place controlled by Heaven. All spirits will automatically retreat to show respect."
The tall, thin old man on the side said calmly.
This old man has a long, snow-white beard that hangs down on his chest. His eyes are narrow and long, and their brilliance shines from time to time.
"Fellow Taoist Qingyi can still talk, his little mouth is really sweet~" Yue Dewen laughed.
"How come the same thing becomes a good thing when it comes to your mouth?"
The old Taoist named Qing Yi was none other than the current Great Spirit, the leader of the Zhenyi Sect, the largest sect in the world.
Qingyi is his Taoist name, and his real name is Li Daoyan.
"Brother-in-law is really smart. Even though his words are evil, he can still make your majesty agree with him. Such words are not as good as Li's." Qing Yi replied coldly.
"Fellow Taoist, that's ridiculous." Yue Dewen smiled proudly, "Speaking of which, Master Yuan just said that he would invite Your Majesty to participate in the great ceremony of the Buddha's subjugation of demons."
"The likes of Xizong, those who are just trying to show off their appearance, so-called conquering demons, huh." Qing Yi snorted coldly, not hiding his disgust towards Xizong.
Nowadays, the Sixteen-day Magic Dance has already spread throughout most of the world.
At first, Xizong just quietly recruited the big nobles to participate. Later, as the number of people increased, he simply increased the number of groups of the Sixteen-day Demonic Dance and turned it into a Thirty-two-day Demonic Dance, or even sixty-four.
One hundred and twenty-eight…
Now it is even more important to invite His Majesty to participate in such a dirty ceremony. It is simply...
Qing Yi's heart was filled with fire, but it soon calmed down naturally.
He glanced at Yue Dewen, thinking in his mind.
"Brother-in-law, we and other Taoist sects are of the same qi, and now the Xizong is causing trouble in the court and blatantly corrupting moral conduct, righteousness and customs. It's not as good as..."
"Fellow Daoist Qingyi, be careful, your Majesty has just agreed to participate in the grand ceremony." Yue Dewen reminded.
"It seems that Fellow Taoist is determined to sit on the sidelines." Qing Yi nodded.
"My Taoist teaching has a humble position and is embarrassed by the big responsibility. How can I compare with the Zhenyi Sect, which has a wide spread of followers all over the world and a cloud of masters. Brother Li, it is better not to say this." Yue Dewen said with a smile.
"Haha." Old Taoist Qingyi smiled lightly and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.
The two sometimes work together and sometimes face each other, and they have known each other quite well for a long time.
"That's it, we'll talk about it later after Annan." Qing Yi handed over his hands and turned to leave.
This is not the first time that the Great Spirit has marched into Annan, but due to the complex environment there, even though a lot of people were killed each time, they were never able to conquer.
And each trip requires a large number of elixir doctors.
For this part of the manpower, Zhenyi and Dao sects mainly contribute the most.
Xizong took the opportunity to go to Fengtian Demon Dance and also stole this opportunity.
"By the way." Suddenly Di Qingyi paused and turned his head slightly. "I heard that Brother-in-law has gained a new disciple, congratulations."
"No matter where you are, I just raise you as you like, raise me as you like." Yue Dewen returned the gift with a smile on his face.
"Whatever? Haha, such a qualified disciple can't just say it casually, right? Even His Majesty knows it," Qing Yi replied, and then walked away.
Watching the other party leave, Yue Dewen still had a smile on his face, but there was a faint hint of coldness in his eyes.
Half of Buddhism has collapsed, and now Zhenyi Sect is truly the largest sect in the world...
This old man, Qing Yi, is a little crazy. He must be brewing some conspiracy.
I really want to slap him to death...
No, no, you have to be quiet and do nothing.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and walked out.
At the same time, my mind turned to how to plan to make Xizong and Shinichi fight.
The foundation of Taoist religion is immortality, which is different from them.
Shinichi and Buddhism are actually fighting for the unification of Orthodoxy.
Decades ago, the senior leader Zhenyi was ordered to revise many Taoist scriptures, formulate Taoist canons, and eliminate a large number of apocryphal scriptures.
Later, in the discussion with the two Buddhist sects, he used one-on-one and did not fall behind.
This established the No. 1 position in the Taoist sect of Zhenyi Sect.
Different from the tranquility and inaction of other Taoist religions, the true religion focuses on one word - struggle.
At that time, the founder of Zhenyi Sect traveled thousands of miles away and led his disciples to find the founding spiritual emperor who had not unified the country at that time, and discussed with him the strategies of governing the country and the way to cultivate himself.
Lay the foundation here.
But for this reason, Zhenyi has always been regarded as not orthodox in the eyes of many other Taoist branches.
Because it does not conform to the essence of tranquility and inaction, which is the main purpose of Taoism’s Three Purities.
Therefore, the dispute between Zhenyi and Xizong is inevitable.
He, Yue Dewen, just needs to light a fire in the back and give a little push...
Dadu, Fordham.
Under the tall gray rock city wall, there is a round arched city gate with a height of more than ten meters, and there is a continuous flow of people and horses going in and out.
On both sides of the doorway, there were wandering merchants pushing carts and carrying boxes on their backs, shouting loudly.
Above the city gate is a huge semicircular platform.
Teams of archers and crossbowmen patrolled back and forth with weapons on their backs.
Zhang Rongfang, dressed in Tianbao Palace Taoist robes, sat in a carriage and slowly entered the city.
There was a lot of noise outside the car, as well as the neighing of horses and donkeys.
He touched his wallet and looked outside through the car window.
The carriage passed through the tall and thick gray city wall and entered a wide white stone street big enough for eight carriages to go parallel.
The street is divided into two sides by a green belt, one facing inward and the other facing outward.
On the two sides at the very edge, there are sidewalks for pedestrians.
On both sides of the street, houses with red columns, gray tiles and stone walls are connected one after another.
Under the curved and sharp eaves, occasionally there are swallows' nests and pigeons' nests flashing past.
"Master Tao, do you want to lead the way? One tael of silver can last a day!"
"Master Tao, I only need eight big bucks a day, choose me!"
"Master Tao..."
Many people quickly followed each other in the carriage.
I don’t know how these people could tell and recognized Zhang Rongfang as a foreigner.
Zhang Rongfang ignored them and looked at the endless street ahead.
White people, black people, blue eyes, black eyes, red eyes, all kinds of people come and go.
At the entrance, among the several people holding musical instruments and singing, there was also a violinist who stepped on the board with his feet to accompany the music.
Two Husi tap dancers, a man and a woman, were spinning in circles, with their hands on their waists, and they clapped vigorously from time to time to make crisp sounds.
The girl has blue eyes, white skin, blond hair, and a short skirt that rotates with her body, rising and falling from time to time.
This caused continuous shouts of applause for money investment from all around.
Zhang Rongfang withdrew his eyes. He was only a hundred meters into the city when he heard shouts in no less than four foreign languages.
"Master Dao, where are you going now?" the driver asked loudly.
"Zhonghui is the largest medicine store in Dadu." Before Zhang Rongfang came, he had already inquired about his destination.
Zhang Qingzhi felt that he was at fault, so he collected a lot of information for him in this regard.
I even got a simple map.
"yes!"
The driver took the order and speeded up.
Turning around intersections and passing side roads.
It made Zhang Rongfang feel dizzy. Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a bustling business house.
The business occupies nearly 100 meters of street shops, with a row of red doors open.
Small carts carrying medicinal materials were constantly coming in and out.
Some carts even have bundles of medicinal herbs stacked five to six meters high, like a hill.
Zhang Rongfang gave a few instructions, asked the carriage to find a parking space, and then got off the bus and walked to the door of the business.
As soon as we got off the bus, a waiter wearing a gray hat and short gray clothes came forward to greet us.
"Does this Taoist want to buy medicine? Oops, it's actually the Taoist from Tianbao Palace. I'm disrespectful. Please come in."
Our company, Zhonghuixing, is the largest medicinal herb buying and selling firm in Dadu, so no matter what kind of medicine you want, we have it!"
This guy was quite discerning, and he recognized Zhang Rongfang's origins in just a few words.
Soon, Zhang Rong was led to the inside of the commercial bank.
After entering the door, there is a high hall that opens up two floors.
There are spiral stairs on both sides to the second floor.
After asking, the clerk led Zhang Rongfang to a quiet room on the second floor to wait.
Less than two minutes after sitting down, a maid immediately brought a plate of tea and fruit. A middle-aged man with a smooth forehead and a slight bald head, with a bunch of purses and purses tied around his waist, walked quickly through the door.
After entering the door, the man immediately hugged Zhang Rongfang.
"I, Shen Zheyun, am the manager of a trading company. I heard that Master Dao wants to buy a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?"
Zhang Rongfang looked at this person.
The other person's face was ordinary, his eyes were shrewd and tired, and his arms and sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong muscles.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a strong smell of mixed medicinal materials.
"Exactly, I need to buy a hundred-year-old red Ganoderma lucidum. I don't know your company."
"Centennial red Ganoderma lucidum? Yes, yes, but" Shen Zheyun nodded, closed his eyes and thought for a while.
"There should be three more bottles in stock, but some people have pre-ordered them not long ago.
If Mr. Dao is not in a hurry, he may have to wait for a while. We can transfer goods from other branches."
It is worthy of being the largest trading company and has everything you need.
Zhang Rongfang nodded.
"How long will it take to adjust the goods? Please hurry up. I'm in a hurry. The price is easy to negotiate."
What he wants now is for the medicinal materials to meet the standard for the first time. Later, he can use attribute points to make up for it.
"I may have to ask before I can give you an answer, but as far as I know, it will take at least two months to come and go," Shen Zheyun replied.
"Two months" Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly.
This has been a bit long...
"Master Dao doesn't know that this wild red Ganoderma lucidum has always been one of the main medicines needed by noble people.
It can cure Qi and blood deficiency, mental fatigue and fatigue, and has a good effect on many heart diseases.
So basically everything is ordered as much as possible. It is difficult to have inventory." Shen Zheyun replied.
"I understand, can I ask, when did you order the few bottles your store has in stock?" Zhang Rongfang asked suddenly.
"About half a month ago." Shen Zheyun obviously has a good memory.
"Half a month ago" Zhang Rongfang had a vague idea in his mind. Master Chongxuan's smiling fat face flashed in his mind.
After leaving Zhonghuixing, he reluctantly went to several other large medicine shops.
The answers I got were actually the same as Shen Zheyun's.
All hundred-year red Ganoderma lucidum has been reserved.
