Chapter 203: Xuandu Temple

"Is that okay?"

Qin Huaiyu and the three of them looked at the T-shirt on their bodies with twists and pinchs, and protected their arms with both hands, like a little daughter-in-law who did not cover her body.

The three of them went down to the river to fish, went up to the tree to dig out birds' eggs, and even drank and gambled, and were sued by the master many times, in addition to robbing the women of the good family, almost all the rebellious things in their youth, almost none of them were pulled, and they all tried again, but it was the first time for them to wear strange clothes, and they couldn't help but cringe and twist and pinch.

"It's uncomfortable compared to your previous clothes!" Merton asked angrily.

The three of them nodded suddenly, and if they didn't say anything else, they would take the light one, which was already better than their previous clothing.

"Have you ever been clothed?" Merton asked again.

The three of them shook their heads in unison, they usually practiced martial arts bare-chested, and the T-shirt only showed two arms, which was nothing.

"Then what are you struggling with, and besides, don't I wear it like this?" Merton gestured to his compassion and said impatiently.

"But that's too small!" Cheng Chu silently pulled his shirt forward and dragged it down, and he was about to deform his clothes in a few words.

The other two also nodded in unison, they were usually used to wearing knee-high shirts, but now they suddenly wore a shirt below the waist, which was very awkward.

"What's wrong with Xiao? That's for the Datang Province cloth. Merton said angrily.

"Ugh!"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, what you said was so reasonable, I was speechless.

"Do you think that the people of Datang are all children of rich families like you, and there are more people in Datang who do not cover their bodies, such T-shirt shorts can save about half of the fabric, that is to say, half of the fabric money can be left, as long as we go around the street, I dare to guarantee that within three days, there will definitely be imitation of the sympathy. When the time comes, you will be the ones who lead the trend of Datang, and that will not be in the limelight. Merton bewitched.

The three of them had a turn of thought, their minds were in a hurry, this kind of new clothing he had personally experienced, it was indeed very comfortable, and just like Morton said, it was good and cheap, not to mention the rest, just take summer as an example, it is indeed the best clothing to escape the summer, and when his mind moved slightly, and then looked at his clothes, it was not so awkward.

"That's not bad!" Qin Huaiyu felt the lightness and pleasure of his whole body, and believed in Merton's words a little more.

"Alright! Let's go," Merton said, getting up.

"Where are you going?" The three of them were surprised.

"You'll know when you go, you think you'll be able to get through the heat this year with just that?" Although there is no record of this scorching heat in history, just by virtue of Li Shimin's direct stay in Jiucheng Palace for five months in history, it can be imagined how difficult it is this year.

Although Merton does not have the ability to make air conditioning fans, but the ice that relieves the heat in summer, he does have the ability to make ice, saltpeter to make ice, but Merton is the most familiar method in his later life.

"Drive!"

Four horses drove the four-wheeled carriage through the wide street, and a cool breeze blew through the window and into the window, taking away a trace of heat.

"Not to mention anything else, Merton's four-wheeled carriage is indeed a good place to escape the heat!" Yu Chi Baolin stuck his head out of the window, felt the gusts of wind blowing in his face, and said happily.

"Don't block the wind!" Cheng Chumo pulled it back, and when he stretched out his head, the wind couldn't get in the window, and the car immediately became stuffy.

"Cool is cool, but who is willing to let the carriage run all the time." Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes and said, the weather is so hot, do you think the horse is not hot! Even if they are young masters of the country, if they do such a luxurious thing, they will definitely be played in the imperial history. In the Tang Dynasty, horses and cattle are both strategic items, and they can't be wasted casually.

The weather is hot, but Chang'an City is still prosperous, the people along the way are endless, the shops on both sides of the road are still open, selling on the street, after all, the more in a big city like Chang'an, the more difficult it is to live, the more people have to run for life.

With a creak, the carriage stopped.

"Xuandu Temple! Brother Mo, what are we doing in Xuanduguan? ”

Qin Huaiyu poked his head out and couldn't help frowning when he saw the majestic and magnificent Taoist temple in front of him.

Xuandu Temple is the largest Taoist temple in the Tang Dynasty, which has won the favor of the emperor, and believers are all over Chang'an City, and even many believers in the entire Tang Dynasty have come to make vows.

"Find ice!" Merton said mysteriously, jumped down from the carriage with a joy, and saw the huge palace complex in front of him, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, how much does it cost!

"Looking for ice? Merton, don't mess around, these Taoist priests are not easy to mess with! Cheng Chumo also frowned and said, according to the scale of the Xuandu Temple, there should indeed be hidden ice, but this year's weather is abnormal, and it is estimated that there will not be much.

In fact, it's not just that it's not easy to mess with, it's simply that no one dares to provoke, the Tang Dynasty is based on Taoism, and the Emperor Li Yuan thinks that he is the descendant of Lao Tzu Li Er, and he establishes Taoism as the head of the three religions and vigorously supports it.

And the Taoist priests of Xuandu Temple have always been respected, Yuan Shoucheng can sit with Li Shimin and talk and laugh together, Yuan Tiangang concluded that this year is very hot, Li Shimin immediately decided to go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer, and even some royal princesses have proclaimed themselves Taoist aunts, and even have their own Taoist temples, and the entire royal family has an inextricable relationship with Taoism.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, among the hundreds of schools of thought, Taoism is the head of the hundred schools of thought pursued by the Tang royal family, and the influence of the entire Tang Dynasty from the royal family to the folk Taoism is everywhere, which is the reason why Morton dares to develop the Mo family in the Tang Dynasty openly, if it is in the Ming Dynasty at the peak of Confucianism, Morton is the heart, and it is estimated that he will also carry out secretly with his tail between his legs.

"Don't worry, we won't enter the Xuandu Temple at all! Just buy some materials in the back street. "To be honest, Merton is also a little weak-hearted, originally he was a staunch atheist, but he really can't explain this matter when he travels to the Tang Dynasty, although it is the blessing of the ancestors of the Mo family, it is possible to think big, but I am not sure that the ancestors of the Taoist family can see anything strange.

"That's good?" Qin Huaiyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

They are all young and vigorous young men, of course, they are not very interested in praying to gods and immortals and pursuing immortality, and they do not yearn for the Xuandu Temple.

The Tang Dynasty alchemy is prevalent, the Xuandu Temple is the largest dojo in Chang'an City, where a large number of alchemists in Chang'an City are gathered, which has given birth to a kind of deformed prosperity, and a large number of shops are opened in the back streets of the Xuandu Temple, specializing in supplying pilgrims to burn incense and alchemist alchemy materials.

Saltpeter is one of the essential materials for refining gunpowder, and the early gunpowder was invented by alchemists when they were refining Dan. The place where saltpeter is most likely to be obtained in the entire Tang Dynasty is this place - Xuandu Temple.
