"What a fart, get up. There is a Taishou who invited us to dinner. Zhang Yuan finally got angry, ripped off Zhang Yuan's futon, and then pulled Zhang Yuan and ran out.

But Zhang Yuan couldn't live or die.

It took Zhang Yuan a lot of time to explain clearly. Zhang Yuan was immediately excited when he heard that there were Taishou who believed in Taoism and were willing to support those who cultivated the Tao.

He brought the Dan furnace and alchemy materials, and went to Hanzhong with Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yuan's disciples and families.

The Ba people went to Hanzhong and took the rice cang road. The Shu people went to Hanzhong and naturally took the Golden Bull Road. Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan's brothers led people to trek through mountains and rivers, and after many days, they finally passed through Baishui Pass and went to Nanzheng, Hanzhong.

At this moment, in the city of Nanzheng, Taoist priests gathered.

Guan Ping specially asked Yang Bai's mansion and the surrounding mansions to be rebuilt, and built a "Taoist Palace" to house cultivators.

All Taoist priests can eat and drink in the "Taoist Palace" and start exchanges between Taoist priests. As the proclamation issued by Guan Ping spread more and more, there were as many as 1,000 Taoist priests in the Taoist Palace, and they were at their peak for a while.

But what Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yuan's brothers thought differently was.

General Yang Wu, General Taishouguan of Hanzhong, although he provided so many Taoist priests, regardless of the cultivation materials, he neither supplied dansha silk cloth to write charms, nor alchemy materials.

It is just for the Taoist priests to communicate with each other and develop their cultivation experience.

There are various sects of cultivation in the world, such as the Heavenly Master Dao, the Five Doumi Sect, the Inner Danshu, the Outer Danshu, and even the Taiping Dao, as well as more unknown sects, gathered in Nanzheng City.

Many Taoist priests were very satisfied with the atmosphere here, and they only felt that they had increased their knowledge by interacting with each other. Of course, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

There are also conflicts between factions because of different philosophies.

For example, the outer Dan technique, and the inner Dan technique.

Alchemy and taking medicine, can you live forever?

What the hell is Neidanjutsu? Is there something concrete? Mysterious and mysterious.

And although the Taoist priest worships Lao Tzu, there are many miscellaneous gods worshipped, for example, the Five Bucket Rice Sect actually worships Zhang Lu?

Bullshit.

Some factions pay attention to not eating meat and fish, abstaining from alcohol and women.

However, the Zhang faction is not afraid of marrying.

Exchanges are continuing, seeing and hearing is increasing, and conflicts are emerging. And this is what Guan Ping needs, since he can't break the ghosts and gods in the hearts of the people, then divide them.

In the past, the Five Doumi Sect dominated Hanzhong, with four or five hundred thousand believers. And with the arrival of these Taoist priests in Nanzheng and the start of preaching, it was not the world of the Wudoumi Sect.

As long as there is no unified Taoism, Guan Ping, as a Taishou and General Yang Wu, can control it.

What can shake such a behemoth as the Five Dou Mi Sect? Of course, there is only Taoism. And, of course, Buddhism.

But Guan Ping still prefers to support Taoism.

Native religions.

Half a month later, Zhang Yuan couldn't stand it anymore. Brought his brother Zhang Yuan to discuss in the corner of the Dao Palace. The two brothers crouched in the corner.

"Brother. This palace is not as good as expected. Guan Yangwu only provided us with food and drink, not alchemy materials. I haven't had an alchemy for many days, and I'm not feeling well, so let's go back. Zhang Yuan chattered.

Zhang Yuan glared at his younger brother and said, "If you want to go back, you can go back yourself." ”

The two brothers have a big difference, Zhang Yuan does not believe in alchemy, and he is very good at being a person, and he has communicated with many Taoist priests in the Taoist Palace.

The theoretical knowledge of martial arts, internal pill arts, and medical skills has been significantly improved. He felt that it was good to stay here, even if Guan Ping didn't provide for them, he could learn a lot.

Zhang Yuan is much worse, he is not social, he has not communicated with other Taoist priests, and he has no alchemy materials, so he is really painful.

After Zhang Yuan listened to his brother's words, his face was like earth. If he goes back to Mianzhu alone, he is afraid that he will starve to death.

"The ancients sought the Tao for alchemy, such as the first emperor wanted immortality, so he searched for alchemists all over the world to refine immortal medicine. This Guan Yangwu is good, he actually doesn't provide us with anything. So what did he come to us for? ”

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to sprinkle his resentment on Guan Ping.

And for this point, Zhang Yuan has some experience.

"I inquired carefully, Guan Yangwu suppressed the Five Dou Mi Sect in Hanzhong. I think his belief in Taoism is false, and he calls on Taoist priests from all over the world to come to Hanzhong and divide the believers of the Five Doumi Sect is true. ”

Zhang Yuan said in a low voice.

"So bad?" Zhang Yuan was startled, and then muttered: "Sure enough, everything about being an official is not a good thing, and his mind is full of scheming." ”

Zhang Yuan slapped Zhang Yuan's head when he heard this, and then looked left and right to see that there was no one, and then pulled this stupid brother away.

Eating and drinking in other people's territory, saying that people are not good things, looking for death????

But he said that there are still many smart people in the world.

Even a Taoist priest like Zhang Yuan can also see Guan Ping's intentions.

But Zhang Yuan didn't know about Guan Ping's Taoism, and he made a drastic move, which was tantamount to reforming Taoism.

The reason why Guan Ping let the group of Taoist priests relax in the Taoist Palace is that it will take a little time for the Taoist priests from all directions to gather.

The second is that Guan Ping arrived alone.

And this man came today.

This is Guan Ping's chief scientist, Ma Sheng.

This guy has been staying in Fangling with a group of excellent craftsmen, and Guan Ping asked Ma Sheng to study how to burn cement and how to make good paper.

Guan Ping gathered the Taoist priests this time and thought of the scientists among the Taoist priests.

Alchemy Taoist.

Guan Ping actually doesn't know much about alchemy, and his simple thoughts are.

Alchemy should be a chemical reaction, can't you, a stinky Taoist priest, help me burn the cement if you can test the alchemy furnace?

Maybe you can still make steel in a blast furnace?

If there is reinforced concrete.

Are you afraid that you won't be able to keep it?

If you can defend, you can develop, and if you can develop, you will have the basis for attacking.

Although Ma Sheng is the chief scientist under Guan Ping, the status of a scientist in this era is hehe. Guan Ping needs to go out of the city to meet Ma Liang.

If Guan Ping went out of the city to meet Ma Sheng, not only would Ma Sheng be scared half to death, but the scholars would also be unconvinced, and would say that Guan Ping was frivolous.

Therefore, after Ma Sheng took the craftsmen on a long journey from Fangling to Nanzheng, he did not have a moment of rest, and came to Taishou Mansion to see Guan Ping.

"I've seen the general." Ma Sheng didn't know the title of General Ming, so he honestly called the general. Guan Ping didn't care, he looked at Ma Sheng, but he was still the same.

Five big and three thick, with dark skin, this thing was originally a blacksmith.

"How's the papermaking and cement work?" Guan Ping was not very polite, and stabbed directly into Ma Sheng's chest. Ma Sheng hurriedly lowered his head, bent down to the lowest, and said, "Back to the adult, the villain has not made half a cent of progress." ”

Guan Ping accepted this calmly, if Ma Sheng made even a little progress, would he dare not tell him?

"Good. I chose a place for you in Nanzheng County. You take your craftsmen and their entourage to the residence. After a few days, I will introduce you to new workers, who may be able to help you. Guan Ping said.

"No."

Ma Sheng naturally didn't dare to disobey, and promised to leave the Taishou Mansion. and non-stop with the staff, under the leadership of a small official, went to live outside the city.

After Ma Sheng left, Guan Ping asked Zhou Xiong to prepare the vehicle, and the entourage left the Taishou Mansion and headed for the Dao Palace. In order to show his identity, Guan Ping prepared all the honor guards.

Preaching back and forth.

The armor soldiers are majestic and majestic.

But he said that before Guan Ping came here, he still sent someone to inform him. The officials in charge of the daily operation of the Taoist Palace immediately gathered the Taoist priests.

There are more than 1,000 Taoist priests in total, not counting Taoist children, all of whom have been out of school. At least twenty or more Taoist priests.

More than 1,000 Taoist priests wearing gossip clothes, lotus crowns, and dust-whisks in their hands lined up in the open space in the front yard, waiting for the arrival of Lord Taishou.

The first to come was Zhou Xiong, and the elite soldiers under Zhou Xiong's command ordered the front yard to be blocked. Then he led Guan Ping in.

There are seats in front of the lobby in the front yard with canopies. Guan Ping came to the seat and sat down, the black-faced Zhou Xiong glared angrily, and pressed the sword with his right hand, majestic.

Surrounded by armor soldiers.

This was too pretentious, but it suppressed the Taoist priests present and made the Taoist priests silent for a while.

"Actually, I don't believe in Taoism, whether it's ghosts and gods, or alchemy, or spells." As soon as Guan Ping sat down, his words were amazing.

This made the Taoist priests below commotion, and many Taoist priests also showed anger. An old Taoist priest was quite bold, so he came up and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Taishou, then why did the Lord summon us to Hanzhong?" ”

Just say, you're actually teasing us?

"There's a reason, of course." Guan Ping smiled and said calmly: "First of all, I will set up rules, as long as you can abide by the rules, I will give you treatment and let you preach in Hanzhong." Secondly, if any of you know how to do alchemy, I can give you a job. Let you enjoy the treatment of officials. ”

The Taoist priests were in a commotion again, thinking, you are playing with us.

Just now I said that I don't believe in alchemy, and now I want to give a job that can be alchemy and enjoy the treatment of officials?

But there is still a heartbeat.

Many Taoist priests who know alchemy are poor ghosts.

is like Zhang Yuan, if he didn't have the support of his brother Zhang Yuan, I'm afraid he would have starved to death. Therefore, when many Taoist priests come to Hanzhong, many people want to have a treatment.

"If you are a Taoist priest who knows alchemy, and who is willing to work with me, I promise to give you the treatment of an official so that you can live a decent life. Stand up, record your name and place of origin, and someone will take you to another place. ”

Guan Ping said again, so tidy and slow.

There was a commotion among the Taoist priests, but no one stood up. Now things are weird, who knows what this Taishou is going to do?

At this time, Zhang Yuan patted his younger brother Zhang Yuan's shoulder, Zhang Yuan glanced at Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan glared at his younger brother back.

Zhang Yuan stepped forward dejectedly, and his own small officials greeted him, recording his name and place of origin. Then stood on one side. Seeing that someone stood up first, the remaining Taoist priests who wanted to make a living all stood up.

There were quite a few people, more than 150 people.

Guan Ping couldn't help but shake his head, the profession of Taoist priest is really complementary to alchemy. The Taoist priests who know alchemy actually occupy as many as one or two percent.

After some time, I saw that no Taoist priest came forward. Guan Ping asked the little official to take these Taoist priests who knew how to make alchemy and went to join Ma Sheng.

Since then, these guys are no longer just Taoist priests, but have become cute scientists.

You scientists, give me chemistry research.
