Zuo Xu's opinion was immediately adopted, Jing Xuan was polite again, and then he resigned. On the other hand, Zuo Xu led everyone to his residence.
The original room was already occupied, so Zuo Xu went up to knock on the door to negotiate. Not long after, seven or eight Taoist priests came out of a room, glanced at Xiao Kaitian and others, and walked away without saying a word.
Zuo Xu then knocked on another room, but it was a female Taoist priest who lived here. After some words, the female Taoist priest obviously agreed, and then five or six female Taoist priests left in a hurry, covering their mouths and snickering from time to time.
.
Interestingly, the more Xiao Kaitian looked at it, the more something was wrong. He took out a red Marlboro, lit it, and blew out a puff of smoke.
"Fellow Taoist," Zuo Xu was stunned for a moment when he saw Xiao Kaitian smoking, and he explained with a smile: "I'm really sorry, smoking is not allowed in the public areas of the Departure Palace."
"You can always do it in the room," Xiao Kaitian held the cigarette butt but had no intention of throwing it away. He was joking. In the world of cultivation, cigarettes are all bought at T value. To put it bluntly, they cost their lives: "I'll go into the house."
Zuo Xu had nothing to say and led everyone into their respective rooms, asked their names again, and then left.
Xiao Kaitian and Yun Yi shared a room. He stood in the room and looked carefully. The room was not big. There was a row of large cabinets with narrow doors on them. It was a bit like the structure of a public toilet.
Pushing open a door, he found that there was only a narrow bed inside, only for one person to sleep. Xiao Kaitian immediately understood that each small grid represented a room where a Taoist priest lived.
For monks who live in a small space world, the size of their residence is not a problem at all, as long as there is room for entry and exit.
But as a monk, strictly speaking, the real world is really suitable for your life and survival. No matter how good the small space world is, it is created with spiritual power, and its suitability is far less good than the real world.
Moreover, living in a small space world without access to naturally occurring light crystals will cause the daily T value to be consumed faster.
To put it simply, if the large space in the real world is a villa, the small space world can only be said to be a cabin dormitory, a residence for the poor, and it is very uncomfortable to live there.
Xiao Kaitian looked at this small, cramped room and understood why the Lijing Palace could accommodate so many Taoist priests. However, he felt strange about what the purpose of these people gathering here like ants was.
It was obvious that the male and female Taoist priests he saw coming in and out just now were in the early to mid-stage of Qi gathering, and there were no very powerful beings.
In other words, as the most direct resource for cultivation in the world of cultivation, Taoist temples do not have much control over the T value. But in this case, how do they attract a large number of people to stay in Taoist temples.
There should be an unexpected problem here. Xiao Kaitian glanced at Yun Yi, who also showed a thoughtful expression. He met Xiao Kaitian's gaze: "It seems that you have noticed it too."
"Yes, how about it, have you heard similar information?" Xiao Kaitian casually pulled up a stool and sat down. The room was very small, and the two of them felt like they were squatting in a public toilet.
"No," Yun Yi shook his head: "The world of cultivation is very large, and information lags behind, especially the world of ancient cultivation. Although they have adopted modern network and other technologies, there are not many people who actually maintain and update them. In their opinion,
, updating information means exposing themselves, and they are not keen on doing these things.”
"So this situation in Yedu seems to have existed for a long time, but not many people in the cultivation world know about it."
"Where is the emperor of this country?" Xiao Kaitian flicked the ashes from his cigarette: "Don't he know better?"
"The emperor changed hands not long ago." I don't know if it was an illusion. When he mentioned this matter, a coldness flashed in Yun Yi's eyes: "Maybe he didn't grasp the information."
"Taoism has penetrated into the lives of monks and even affected state management," Xiao Kaitian mused: "I remember this country is Wei. I'm afraid it's not a good sign."
"Let's take a look first," Yun Yi nodded: "Religion is the power that can control other people's thinking, especially since we are monks. The theory of gods and Buddhas combined with religious concepts makes it easier for people to become addicted."
"Okay." Yun Yi's opinion was right. Xiao Kaitian clenched his fists and made a decision before taking action. He was no longer eager to show off, and there was room for improvement. He might as well improve his strength.
"I just don't know how religion is integrated." A smile appeared on Xiao Kaitian's lips.
The two highly intelligent people here were analyzing and complimenting each other, but Zhao Qixi and Bai Kou encountered difficulties.
What is Zhao Qixi's origin? The only descendant of the Zhao family, the richest man in the Han and Tang Dynasties. He has been rich in gold and jade since he was a child. Who is Bai Kou? The apple of the eye of the head of the Tianshan Sect, the first sect in the Han and Tang dynasties.
Even if they traveled around the world later and met Xiao Kaitian, they lived in large villas with tens of millions and hundreds of millions, let alone food. When had the two of them encountered such a small lattice bed in front of them.
Without saying a word, Bai Kou smashed the partition in the middle and put the two beds together, making them a little bigger.
"Bai Kou," Han Qing covered her face: "We have a small space world, the outside is just a passage, there is no need."
"In the small space world, there are no light crystals, and it feels uncomfortable to breathe. It's like a person soaked in formalin. Even if you can live for ten thousand years, would you do it for you?"
Han Qing had never heard of formalin. She couldn't persuade Bai Kou, so she just let her go.
She and Gongsun Ruyun were very used to it. Her house was not big in the past, and she and Gongsun Ruyun also lived in a small space. They were people who were used to being poor, so the hardships in front of her could not stimulate her.
After setting up the small space world, and just as he was about to enter, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of a female Taoist priest rang out: "Fellow Taoists, following the instructions of the elders, I offer you four cups of Baicao Xiang from the Departure Palace.
Dew tea to quench your thirst."
Hearing that there was tea, Bai Kou's anger calmed down a little. Gongsun Ruyun responded and opened the door with a smile. Standing outside the door was an extremely beautiful female Taoist priest, holding a tea tray with four bowls of tea on it.
.
"Thank you very much." Gongsun Ruyun bowed politely and took the tea. The female Taoist priest nodded slightly and left after completing the task.
"What kind of tea?" Bai Kou saw Gongsun Ruyun put the tea tray on the stool. She walked over with a sullen face. They were four white marble tea bowls with dragon pattern lids on them. They looked either rich or noble.
Han Qing was not interested in tea. Her only hobby was wine. She yawned, stretched and was about to leave.
Bai Kou picked up the cup and opened the lid. He saw a bowl of clear water with a tender green Dragon Well-shaped tea leaf standing in the middle. It was exquisite and unique.
As soon as she took a sip, Bai Kou's face suddenly changed. She spat it out, threw the whole cup of tea on the tea tray, and the lid of the cup hit it, making a "dang" sound.
"What a piece of shit, it's just water and herbal dew, bullshit, this poor Taoist temple!" All her yells echoed in the room.
