***************
At noon, the ceremony of worshipping heaven and earth to honor the three Qings of Ziyangguan reached a climax.
Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children gathered in the valley where the Ziyang Temple was located from all directions, the cigarette smoke was like a cloudy mountain, and the ground was densely packed with countless kneeling people, all eyes were cast on the high platform in front of the Sanqing Palace, and the three statues of Sanqing Treasure that stood majestically and reflected the wisps of golden light.
Countless wealthy businessmen and landlords came by car and sedan chair with their families.
The officials of the six departments of Nanjing and the parents of the two counties and one government also led hundreds of officials to rush to the city with the mighty gongs, and cleared a passage with the hard efforts of many officials, and finally came to the outside of the newly built mountain gate under the Ziyang Temple, the officials got out of the sedan chair one after another, lined up in a row according to the size of the official rank, bowed down respectfully and bowed, and got up together to congratulate the Daoist of the Ziyang Guanxuanji who hurriedly ushered in the Xuanji Temple, and then took many personal gifts and heavy gifts, and followed the Xuanji Taoist to pay homage to the statue of Sanqing Bao.
On the second high platform below the treasure statue, the melodious Taoist Divine Comedy came to an end for the time being, Zhu Daolin put away the giant sword in his hand, took the white face towel given by the little junior brother Yuhu, wiped his sweat, and walked towards the smiling master and master:
"I'm so tired, this set of Inverted Bagua Qitian Sword is really difficult to master, and I feel that many directions are wrong."
"That's right, I can see it very clearly, it's not at all, it's just a little lacking in proficiency, you have only seen your master do it twice, this is already very remarkable, I dare to say that no one in our Maoshan Shangqing faction can do it. You don't know, back then, I followed your ancestor to learn this set of sacrificial swordsmanship and footwork, and it took me three months to learn a rough idea! ”
Master Bo Xuanyue smiled all over his face and handed Zhu Daolin a cup of tea.
For the first time, the Xuanqing Dao Chang, who wore the unique crimson gold-painted and black-edged abbot robes of the Yibu Gate, was full of red light, and pointed to the yellow brocade cushion beside him for the disciple to sit down:
"Very good, it seems that you are the material for practicing martial arts, we have three major stunts in the medical divination door, one is called medical Taoism, two is divination, and three is martial arts, unfortunately up to the ancestors of the past dynasties, down to your generation, there are only three ancestors who know the three major stunts for thousands of years, and the rest of the outstanding ones are only studying two of them."
"Now it seems that you are riddled with mundane things, it is rare to be quiet, even if you have amazing talents, you can only strive for excellence in martial arts...... Go back and ask your second master Bo Duoduo for advice, he is not only a martial arts wizard who is rare in a hundred years in my medical divination sect, but also ranks among the top three in the entire Shangqing sect! ”
Only then did Zhu Daolin know that the gentle second master uncle's martial arts were so powerful, he nodded at the moment and took the master's words to heart.
Yulong, a disciple sent by Uncle Xuanfang, hurriedly arrived, kneeling behind the Xuanqing Daoist and Master Bo Xuanyue and whispered a report.
Daoist Xuanqing and Daoist Xuanyue hurriedly stood up and looked down, and saw Xuanji and Xuanfang leading more than 100 well-dressed officials to walk up the bottom steps in three steps and one bow, and without thinking too much, they immediately ordered all the disciples to play music to welcome the guests.
Mr. Zhu was reluctant to meet with officials.
Throughout the morning, he had accompanied his master and uncle to receive five or six groups of distinguished guests, and he had long been tired of the cumbersome etiquette repeated again and again, and at that moment, regardless of whether the master and uncle agreed, he turned around and slipped away after saying that the disciple had retreated in advance, bypassing a large group of pious laymen kneeling and watching the ceremony on the west side of the high platform, and returned to his hut along the road that had not yet been paved on the side of the mountain, thinking that the chief treasurer and his party were probably about to arrive.
More than a dozen Huotou Taoist priests who had converted to Taoism from the displaced people were boiling rice porridge, and when they saw the little Zhu Daochang, who was respected by all the people, came back, they hurriedly bent down and saluted.
Zhu Daolin nodded in response, walked into the open kitchen and looked at it, picked up a clean small copper basin and filled it with half a pot of rice, plus two spoonfuls of broth and a large spoonful of cooked and cut white meat, and left quickly with the copper basin, and after walking more than a dozen steps, he heard a burst of happy discussions behind him: "Little Zhu Daochang has a lot of rice!" ”
"You don't want to look at Xiao Zhu Dao's tower-like figure? I heard that when the statue of Sanqing was erected early in the morning, he alone carried ten people, and two people carried one of the ten zhang long big wood, and he had one on one shoulder, who could compare with such divine power? ”
"That's it, I see, I'm afraid that Daoist Zhu has already gotten the true inheritance!"
Zhu Daolin, who couldn't cry or laugh, quickened his steps, went around to his own independent house behind, and saw that the door was ajar, and there was no movement inside, so he hurriedly pushed open the door and called loudly: "Mulan!" ”
"Woo ......"
Mulan rushed out from behind the door, shook her head and tail and pounced on Zhu Daolin, her standing body almost as tall as Zhu Daolin's chest.
Zhu Daolin breathed a sigh of relief, put down the food bowl, and hugged Mulan's head: "Very good!" I'm recovering well, not scared to death like I was at the beginning......"
"But you remember, don't run around, especially today, it's full of people outside, it's a trivial matter for you to run out and scare people to death, if it causes a large-scale riot, then it will not be tolerated, even I have to suffer with you, ......do you hear it?"
"Haha! It's really good, it's okay, it looks like I have to set a rule for you, you can't lick my face at every turn, haha! ”
Zhu Daolin carried the smart Mulan to the food bowl, Mulan licked Zhu Daolin's hand, and then began to eat unhurriedly, and his every move was very regular, which made Zhu Daolin like it more and more.
Not long after Zhu Daolin sat down, he thought that the big shopkeeper would definitely ask what goods were shipped back, today is the eleventh day of the first month, and it is only four days before the grand opening of the United Shops, although most of the goods sold do not need Zhu Daolin to worry about, but the main commodities such as clocks, sewing needles, scissors, and mirrors are all counting on Zhu Daolin.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Daolin decided to seize the time while he was free, so he covered the door, strode to the big warehouse at the foot of the mountain behind, closed the door and sat quietly for a while, and transferred all the goods needed by the big shop, and finally saw that there were still many places in the warehouse, and then put the 125 tons of H90 copper plate and copper rod sold to him by Manager Li to the vacant position.
As for the remaining nearly 1,000 tons of copper, Zhu Daolin already had a better idea, and he needed to continue to stay in the safe and secret King Kong Circle, and was not in a hurry to tell anyone.
