Wang Ji was very enthusiastic and explained in detail to Yang Yun about the situation in Yizhou and even the entire Jiannan Daomen.

Taoism did not appear out of thin air, its founder Zhang Ling was a native of Pei County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, proficient in Confucian classics, because he felt that Confucianism was not useful to the world, so he changed to folk arts. Because there are many mountains in Shu, which is conducive to cultivation, and the folk customs are simple and easy to educate, so he led his disciples to enter Shu and create a mission.

Zhang Ling to Heming Mountain to establish a Taoist temple, worship Lao Tzu as the ancestor, with the "Tao Te Ching" and "Taiping Cave Extreme Scripture" as the main classics, because the people who were required to enter the Tao at that time need to pay five buckets of rice, so it is also called five buckets of rice. When Qingcheng Mountain is the base camp of folk witchcraft in Shu, in order to win the believers, Zhang Ling took his disciples to Qingcheng Mountain, and after a difficult struggle, finally drove out the witchcraft forces and established the authoritative position of Taoism in Bashu.

After Zhang Ling's death, his son Zhang Heng and his grandson Zhang Lu successively inherited his missionary career. In Taoism, people call Zhang Ling "Heavenly Master", Zhang Heng is "Heavenly Master", Zhang Lu is "Department of Heavenly Master", because the three generations are called "Heavenly Master", so Zhang Ling's Taoism is also called "Heavenly Master Dao". After three generations of Zhang Ling's ancestors and grandchildren, especially with Zhang Lu's efforts, Taoism has developed greatly in the north and east of Bashu and in Hanzhong.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, there was another amazing Taoist priest Fan Changsheng in Shu.

Fan Changsheng is a native of Danxing, Fuling. During the Yuankang period, Li Te, a member of the Bayi tribe, led an armed uprising of displaced people. When there was a famine in the army, and when it was at a critical juncture, Fan Changsheng funded food and materials, and the morale of the army was high, turning the crisis into safety, and a few months later, he captured Chengdu.

After Li Te's death, his son Li Xiong "thought that Fan Changsheng was famous and virtuous, valued by the people of Shu, and wanted to welcome him as a monarch and submit to him", but Fan Changsheng politely resigned and persuaded Li Xiong to be self-reliant. Li Xiong, under the joint support of Fan Changsheng and the exile army, was proclaimed the king of Chengdu in October of the first year of Emperor Hui Yongxing. Subsequently, Li Xiong ascended the throne as emperor, with the country name "Dacheng", with Fan Changsheng as the prime minister, plus the name "Four Hours and Eight Sections of Heaven and Earth Taishi", respected as "Fan Xian".

Fan Changsheng returned to Qingcheng, and Li Xiong built the "Fan Xian Pavilion" for him in Dujiangyan, which is now the Fulong Temple of the Tang Dynasty. With the assistance of Fan Changsheng, Li Xiong implemented the policy of "quiet and inaction" and people's livelihood, compared with the Central Plains and the war-torn areas in the south of the Yangtze River, Dacheng can be called a peaceful paradise.

The Tang Dynasty was founded, the royal family vigorously advocated Taoism, and Taoism in the land of Bashu was also greatly developed. At that time, there were 28 annotations for Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" in the country, of which Shu accounted for six, almost a quarter. The famous Taoist priest Yuan Tiangang is a native of Chengdu. Li Chunfeng, a disciple of Yuan Tiangang, also has a high reputation in the Tang Dynasty.

When today's son Li Longji succeeded to the throne, advocating Taoism, Taoism in Shu ushered in a great development, and there were many famous mountains and palaces.

Today's Bashu, Heming Mountain is the ancestral garden of the Heavenly Master Sect, Qingcheng Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism, the legend says that Zhang Ling once subdued the demon and the dragon here, attracting many Taoist priests to cultivate here.

In addition to these two holy places of Taoism, the important palaces in Shu also include Longzhou Doutuan Mountain, Zizhou Yuntai Temple, Jianzhou Qiqu Mountain Wenchang Palace, Mianzhou Xishan Temple, Pengzhou Yangping Temple and Gexian Mountain, Meizhou Fairy Mountain, Shuzhou Laojun Mountain and so on.

Only inside and outside the city of Chengdu, there are more than 50 Taoist temples of all sizes, the most famous of which is Qingyang Palace, where the legend says that Taishang Laojun was born, and here for Guan Yinxi to explain the Tao Te Ching.

Although Yang Yun had no intention of contending with the local religious forces, he still knew the information provided by the royal family by heart, which was something he needed to pay attention to in Chengdu for a period of time in the future, and he understood that even if he did not take the initiative to provoke these forces, these forces that felt threatened would take the initiative to come to the door.

The Taiyi Gate and the Six Empty Sect were responsible for taking the lead.

“…… Master, let's not talk about these unpleasant things, you haven't tasted the wine and food of this wine shop, look at this vinegar celery, as well as roasted mutton, which are all famous delicacies in Chang'an. ”

Wang Ji smiled and gave Yang Yun vegetables, and was about to pour wine, Yang Yun took the initiative to pick up the wine jug and doubled it for himself.

Immediately, Yang Yun picked up the wine cup and didn't drink it immediately, because he wasn't sure if his small body could withstand the ravages of alcohol.

Yang Yun first put the wine cup in front of his nose and sniffed, not surprisingly, the wine basically did not smell to the nose, and after taking a sip, he felt that the taste was bland, very similar to the mash water without added sugar in later generations, which was indescribably weird.

But even this kind of low-quality liquor in Yang Yun's eyes is delicious in Wang Ji's eyes, and after taking a sip, he praised: "This freshly brewed green ant wine is really fragrant and wonderful......

Yang Yun put down the wine cup and thought in his heart: "How sad are the people of this era, not to mention Wuliangye and Moutai, even ordinary high-grade wine can't be drunk, and a poet like Li Bai relies on this kind of wine to show his pen and ink to the fullest?" How much do you have to drink to write the magnificent psalm of 'I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone'? ”

Wang Ji said: "What? You don't like this wine? In fact, it is the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and the surplus of grain is allowed to make wine, and it is put in other dynasties, which is a controlled product. But even so, there is a quota of food for making wine, so we have to cherish it more. ”

Yang Yun looked at the wine and food on the table, he really didn't have much appetite for him.

Yang Yun asked, "Do you usually drink this kind of wine?" ”

Wang Ji said with a smile: "I don't drink a lot, but there is always some entertainment every year, if a manly husband doesn't even drink alcohol, what kind of face can he have to mix up at the banquet held by the famous family?" However, Datang still has better wine than this, such as Sangluo wine and sake made by the Liang Brewing Department, which are basically for royal use, and there should also be this kind of good wine given by the emperor in the Jiemarshal's Mansion, next time I will bring a pot or two out, please taste it. ”

Yang Yun probably heard that the "belt" mentioned by Wang Ji was actually stealing.

However, even if it is a good wine, due to the backward brewing technology, the degree will not be too high, the so-called pure brewing and refining is just an ordinary water wine, as for the dishes, there are just a few things, steaming, barbecue and wax smoking are all of them, after all, there is no vegetable oil in this era.

At this time, Yang Yun had passed the state when he first arrived in this world, only seeking food and clothing, and he also wanted to improve his life.

On the way back from dinner with Wang Ji, he secretly pondered: "The people of this era have followed the habits of thousands of years and have adapted to this kind of life, but for me, a person who has experienced the era of great material abundance in later generations, this kind of life is really difficult for a strong man." Since I can't adapt, I have to take the initiative to create conditions and improve myself, after all, this is a rich Chengdu, not a barren Shifang. ”

……

……

Yang Yun returned to the post house with Wang Ji.

Wang Ji drank a lot of wine, was a little drunk, and talked a lot along the way, but he always boasted about his familiarity with Chengdu.

Outside the post house, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Taoist priest standing solemnly, holding a book fold with a red envelope in his hand, like an invitation letter, and like a war letter.

"Real person, this is someone sent by Qingyang Palace." County Lieutenant Hu came out of the official post and asked the origin of the little Taoist priest, and when he came to talk to Yang Yun, his face was full of worry.

Although Hu Xianwei didn't care about the Taiyi Gate and the Six Empty Sect at all, he didn't dare to take Qingyang Palace lightly.

Qingyang Palace is too respected in Chengdu and even in the entire Jiannan Taoist system, and it occupies a place in the entire Tang Daomen.

Yang Yun walked over, and the little Taoist priest looked at Yang Yun, then stepped forward and asked politely, "This is Daoist Yang Yang, a disciple of Wuzun Zhenren, right?" Poor Dao served in front of the Sanqing Patriarch of Qingyang Palace, and today I came to deliver the letter on the order of Venerable Benguan, and His Holiness instructed that it must be delivered to you in person. ”

Yang Yun took the letter, but did not open it.

There was hostility on Wang Ji's face: "Now that the letter has been delivered, you can leave." ”

The little Taoist priest said: "Venerable wants to ask Yang Daochang, I don't know which famous mountain and river Qing Xiu is in the Venerable Master Wuzun?" ”

Yang Yun thought to himself: "At that time, it was just to deceive Su County Ling and others, and I casually made up the name of a Wuzun real person, and now I meet Taoist orthodoxy to ask the mountain, where can I make up a mountain and get through the trick?" ”

Yang Yun said: "Shizun, his old man is now traveling everywhere, and he has no fixed place, please go back and tell me, just say that I just came to Yizhou to practice, and I will leave after a while, as for Shizun, I will not come to Yizhou for the time being......"

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake!

Even if Yang Yun has a certain degree of confidence in his superpowers, before figuring out whether the ability he has in this era is a special case or a certain universality, it is best not to have a bad relationship with Qingyang Palace, and he has to put on a posture that he will leave at any time, just act as a passerby, and let the Taoist priests of Qingyang Palace "open the net".

The little Taoist priest saluted respectfully: "Poor Dao remembered...... Then go back and return to the Venerable, so as not to bother Yang Dao Chang Qing Xiu. ”

After speaking, the little Taoist priest turned around and walked towards the door, Yang Yun glanced at it, and there was a Taoist priest there to answer, and said in his heart: "Qingyang Palace is very wary of me, and even the report is left behind, which is obviously not good." ”
