Li Zicheng nodded, now he is in the Wuhou Temple, he is naturally Xuanxu, "Xuanxu Daoist, I have a few words to talk to Daoist Chief." ”

"Donor, please come in with the poor road!" Xuanxu saluted Li Zicheng, but glanced at the soldiers behind Li Zicheng and did not speak, obviously not welcoming them in.

"They are all my personal soldiers, so they naturally want to be with me," Li Zicheng was not worried about Xuanxu's misdeeds, but just showed him that he was not here to offer incense, "Is there any inconvenience for Xuanxu Daoist?" ”

"Weapons are the big murderers, the Wuhou Temple has become a Taoist resort, and you can't see anything bloody......" Li Zhiqiang bowed slightly, trying not to anger these officers and soldiers.

"Since it's inconvenient to enter the Wuhou Temple, it's okay to talk outside," Li Zicheng frowned slightly, this Wuhou Temple was originally a commemoration of Zhuge Wuhou by future generations, but now it is occupied by Taoist priests. Then he said unceremoniously: "Xuanxu Dao Chief, can you borrow a few wooden stools to sit on?" ”

"That's fine, as long as the donor doesn't mind!" Li Zhiqiang observed the words and looks, and these soldiers in front of him obviously did not believe in Taoism, so he whispered a few words to the Taoist priest behind him, and the Taoist priest behind him agreed, and hurriedly turned around and went in.

He came back soon, followed by several little Taoist priests, moved tables and stools, put them under one of the cypress trees, and served tea, Li Zhiqiang said: "The donor is here, please, there is nothing to entertain in the poor way, only this cup of tea......"

Li Zicheng looked at his fat head and big ears, he didn't look like a vegetarian on weekdays, but he didn't have time to care about his daily life, so he sat down against the cypress tree, just in the shadows, Li Zhiqiang also sat opposite, "I don't know if the donor has anything to ask the poor ......"

"The Governor of Pontus is a mortal, and he does not believe in Taoism on weekdays," Li Zicheng picked up the tea cup and opened the lid of the cup, but it was a strange fragrance, looking at the water color in the cup, a piece of green, it was estimated that it was new tea and good tea, so he bowed his head slightly, and said: "The Governor of Pontus wants to ask the Taoist chief, what is the Taoist cultivation for?" ”

"For individuals, it is for immortality and to achieve the unity of the primordial spirit; For Taoism, it is to educate the people......"

Li Zicheng stretched out his hand to interrupt Li Zhiqiang's words, and said: "Although the governor of Pontus does not believe in Taoism, he also knows that these words of the Taoist chief, whether it is an individual or a Taoist, are all 'small roads', and the real avenue is for the people!" ”

Li Zhiqiang paused and said, "The donor is the battle outside the city of Guiyang?" ”

Li Zicheng nodded, "Xuanxu Dao Elder already knows about the battle outside Nanyang City, I don't know how to feel?" How did Taoists respond to such incidents? ”

"Taoism stresses 'rule by inaction', and return things to their original faces...... Li Zhiqiang glanced at Li Zicheng's armor suddenly, and said: "Taoism doesn't care about the world, fighting is the business of the soldiers, and the poor Tao can't be asked!" ”

"Fighting together, it is a river of blood, yesterday was alive and kicking, today may be separated from the family yin and yang, once the city is broken, the innocent people in the city, but also the heaven should not be called the earth, they may still be the pilgrims of the Wuhou Temple......" Li Zicheng said with a straight face: "Xuanxu Dao Chang is saying that such human suffering has nothing to do with the Wuhou Temple?" The Taoist chief also disdains to care? ”

"It's not that I don't care, I really can't manage the poor road," Li Zhiqiang's face changed color slightly, he avoided Li Zicheng's gaze, and said: "Liukou is attacking Nanyang, and the donor eats food and salary on weekdays, and he doesn't go to defend the city at this time, but he comes to the Wuhou Temple......"

"You think Pontus is a deserter?" Li Zicheng said coldly: "If you talk about the food and salary on weekdays, are the Taoist priests of Wuhou Temple all cultivating by themselves?" Doesn't your incense money come from the people in the vicinity? You are the Taoist magistrate of Nanyang Mansion, and you usually control all the Taoist temples in Nanyang Mansion, I'm afraid there is still a good fortune, right? Is this money and grain grown out of the ground? ”

"It was given voluntarily by the people," Li Zhiqiang said, "What can we monks do when we are in war?" Could it be that the rogues will put down the butcher's knife after listening to our persuasion? ”

"Since you can't free the people from suffering, what is the use of you Taoist priests? People still come to the Taoist temple on weekdays to offer incense, what are they willing to do? Li Zicheng smiled coldly, "That's why the governor of Pontus said that you are cultivating a small road, just to deceive the people of the incense money!" ”

"Although the poor Dao is incompetent, the donor should not humiliate the poor Dao in the Taoist temple," Li Zhiqiang frowned slightly, but the soldiers behind Li Zicheng were all loaded with guns, he didn't dare to make a mistake, he just said: "The Tao is boundless, the donor just hasn't seen it......"

"With a layman like the Governor of Pontus, the Taoist Chief Xuanxu really can't tell the so-called 'Dao,'" Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "The Governor of Pontus is a soldier, I just want to see if you can save the people of Nanyang!" ”

Li Zhiqiang raised his head suddenly, and said, "Could it be that the donor can save the people in Nanyang City?" ”

"Yes, the governor of Pontus can save the people in Nanyang City," Li Zicheng said lightly: "Xuanxu Dao Chief, tell me, once Nanyang City is broken, what will happen in the city?" ”

Although Li Zhiqiang has not faced the rogues, but now there are rogues everywhere outside the city, once the city is broken, what will happen in the city, he can also imagine with his toes, he said carefully: "Once the rogue enters the city, the officials and gentry in the city will become the target of the rogue robbery, that is, ordinary people, I am afraid they will also be harassed by the rogue ......"

"Haha, anyone has to be able to think of such a thing," Li Zicheng laughed suddenly, looking at Li Zhiqiang with a provocative gaze, "This kind of suffering of the people, only the governor of Pontus can prevent this kind of thing from happening......"

Li Zhiqiang was puzzled, and unconsciously looked in the direction of Nanyang City, "Since the donor can prevent the tragic situation from happening, why don't you stop the battle outside the city?" ”

Li Zicheng learned the appearance of a monk, folded his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”

Li Zhiqiang despised it in his heart, if Li Zicheng hadn't been wearing the Ming Army's Mingguang armor, he would have been pushed far away by him, so he lowered his face and said: "The donor came to the Wuhou Temple to tell the poor Dao that you can prevent the tragic situation in the city?" ”

"Not only that," Li Zicheng shook his head lightly, and said slowly: "The governor of Pontus is here to tell the Xuanxu Daoist, Ao, I should call you Li Daoji, the Liukou entered the city, and the Taoists and Buddhists could not stop the looting and massacre in the city, but there was a religion that could prevent the tragedy from happening." ”

"Is there such a religion? Why haven't you heard of Poor Dao? Li Zhiqiang's eyebrows were squeezed together, wrinkled into a curved moon, "The meaning of the donor, the monks and the Taoists, are both ......"

Li Zicheng smiled faintly: "I don't know if Li Daoji believes it or not?" ”

Li Zhiqiang's brows tightened, "Poor Dao has to see it with his own eyes before he can believe ......"

"If Li Daoji sees it with his own eyes," Li Zicheng said: "I don't know if Li Daoji still believes in Taoism?" This Wuhou Temple ......"

"The donor is saying that even if Nanyang City is broken, there will be absolutely no killing and bloodfall in the city?" Li Zhiqiang secretly gritted his teeth, his eyes suddenly opened, and his essence leaked out, and said: "If Poor Dao sees it with his own eyes, Poor Dao will follow the donor......"

"That's fine," Li Zicheng muttered: "They were originally still preparing that once they took Nanyang, all Taoist temples and temples inside and outside the entire city would have to be re-enshrined...... When it comes to those, I'm afraid it's bloody, Li Daoji must have a high prestige among all the Taoist temples in Nanyang, as long as Li Daoji takes the lead in changing the worship, there will be less bloody killings, and the governor of Pontus can be regarded as a good thing, haha, hahaha......"

Li Zhiqiang waited for Li Zicheng to laugh enough, and said: "The donor is saying that the Liukou will definitely be able to break through Nanyang City?" If the rogue returns in vain......"

"Li Daoji rest assured," Li Zicheng said in his heart, if Liu Zongmin can't take Nanyang City, the governor of Bendu will remove him from his position as the head of the second regiment, "If Liukou can't take Nanyang City, today's words will be treated as if the governor of Bendu didn't say anything, and there will be no loss to you anyway!" ”

When Li Zicheng came to Henan, he knew that the Mandate of Heaven Army could not be restricted by the cities of Fu County, and once it lost its ability to maneuver, it was very likely to fall into the heavy encirclement of the Ming army, and even if it could break through at that time, the losses would be heavy.

But when he came to Nanyang and faced Fucheng, he was really unwilling.

Finally broke through Nanyang, and just gave up casually? Casualties of soldiers, is it really worth it? Is it just for the money and food in the city?

He figured it out under Wollongong, Nanyang is a city after all, Liu Zongmin took the city, that is certain, even if he can't be stationed for a long time, he has to leave something, and it will be more convenient to really recover Nanyang City in the future.

The things left behind cannot be soldiers, nor money, and the best way to let the people remember the Mandate of Heaven Army is religion, so he decided to visit the Wuhou Temple!

Li Zhiqiang is not only the master of Wuhou Temple, but also the Taoist magistrate of Nanyang Prefecture, belonging to the officials in the mansion, and is in charge of Taoism in the entire Nanyang area.

Even if it is a monk, once it is touched by power, it is difficult to cultivate quietly, Li Zhiqiang often deals with the government, involving the money and food of various Taoist temples, it is inevitable that unknown ideas will be born in his heart, if he makes full use of it, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not give in!

Of course, it is simply impossible to let a contemplator be abandoned to Taoism just by saying a few words, and he must be allowed to see something that should be seen, plus some benefits......

Whether it is cultivating the Tao or cultivating Buddhism, it is a religion in itself, and there are definitely not too many people who are really not affected by the outside world and are determined to practice stealthily.

Li Zhiqiang saw that Li Zicheng looked unfathomable, so he said carefully: "Dare to ask the donor, is it a ...... in Nanyang City?"

"Does it matter?" Li Zicheng picked up the tea cup and signaled to Li Zhiqiang, as if he was replacing wine with tea and celebrating the oath, "Li Daoji, rest assured, there is no harm to you, as long as you do not violate today's agreement!" ”

"Donor ......"

"When Nanyang City is broken, the Governor of Bendu will enter the city hand in hand with Li Daoji, and everything is believing," Li Zicheng took a sip of tea and put down the tea cup, "Thank you Li Daoji for the tea, the Governor of Bendu will have a good reward in the future!" ”
