Chapter III. Compilation of Manju Daozang

"Daoist Qingzhi, this official is polite here."

"Chen Duzhi is polite..."

"I don't know where the elder master is, and which immortal mountain he is cultivating in?"

"The name of the poor road is called Wudang, and the small faction in the mountains and wilderness, Chen Duzhi may not have heard of it, right? It's really not worth mentioning..."

Lu Zhi and Na Chen both knew each other and asked and answered, but Lu Zhi didn't bother to promise anything to him, so he just replied to him casually, which was very perfunctory.

This kind of 'checking the household registration' general inquiry really made him feel a little impatient, and the look on his face was quite cold, even if Zhao Ji interjected from the side, Lu Zhi never showed any good face to the old eunuch.

After all, Lu Zhi has never had much awe for this worldly power, and he doesn't have to deliberately please or anything, with impatience and coldness on his face. There is no half-point hiding at all.

He is not afraid that this old eunuch will hold a grudge or something, if it is a big deal, he will simply leave directly, with his ability, where can he not live in this world?

At most, he can't rub the Taoist treasures hidden in Duanwang's mansion in the future, but in the past two months, the books in Duanwang's mansion, including those Confucian literati works, he has already read them, even if he leaves now, there will not be too much pity.

Lu Zhidu's performance was so obvious, the old eunuch naturally wouldn't fail to see it, but his face was not discolored, and he didn't know if the city was too deep, or he really didn't mind Lu Zhi's cold face.

"Now that it's about to come to the next morning court, the official is going back to the palace to resume his life, so he won't continue to bother Qingzhi Daoist."

Seeing that he really couldn't find out more information, Chen Duzhi simply stopped entanglement, and left with great interest.

"Eh, Qingzhi Daoist, you... Why did you offend this Chen Duzhi like this? Don't look at him as a well-known person, but in fact, he is very talkative with the imperial brother. ”

"If Chen Duzhi goes back this time and slanders you fiercely from the imperial brother, then Qingzhi Dao Chief, your chance to become an official may be gone."

As soon as the old eunuch left, Zhao Ji said to Lu Zhi with a look of regret.

Lu Zhi disagreed: "So what? What is the significance of this worldly power to poor people who are outside the house? ”

"But..." Zhao Ji was a little anxious about Lu Zhi, but looking at Lu Zhi's indifferent appearance, he had nothing to say.

Originally, this opportunity for Lu Zhi to become a leader was the Lu Zhi he recommended to Zhao Xu, but he didn't think that Lu Zhi was not interested in it at all, which couldn't help but make him a little discouraged.

On the other hand, when Chen Duzhi returned to the palace and returned to Zhao Xu, it was the opposite of what Lu Zhi and Zhao Ji thought, not only did he not say half a bad word about Lu Zhi in front of Zhao Xu, but instead touted Lu Zhi's ability to Zhao Xu.

Although he didn't find out the details of Lu Zhi, he could also feel the pure yang rhyme from Lu Zhi, this kind of ethereal and carefree meaning unique to Taoism, which can't be faked.

Therefore, even if he has not figured out his depth for the time being, Chen Duzhi still proposed to Zhao Xu that if he can find a way to win over Lu Zhi and let him be used by their Great Song Dynasty, it will definitely be a great thing.

So, three days later.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

It's still that Chen Duzhi, but this time it's a little different that he came with the holy decree written by Zhao Xu himself.

Lu Zhi stepped forward and made a Taoist gift to Chen Duzhi... Lu Zhi had already known the content of this holy decree from Zhao Ji before, so today it can be regarded as a formality.

I have to say that Chen Duzhi and Zhao Xu are still quite smart, and they specially found Zhao Ji to ask Lu Zhi about his hobbies.

After learning that he had accepted Zhao Ji's offering for the sake of the Daozang in the Duanwang Mansion, several people thought at that time, why not use this to do what he likes?

So, under Zhao Ji's prodding, Zhao Xu gave birth to the idea of sealing Luzhi as an official of a bachelor of Hanlin and letting him go to supervise the carving of Wanshou Daozang.

As mentioned above, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were almost all believers in Taoism, and when Song Shenzong was in power, the imperial court had the idea of collecting the world's Taoist books, compiling a collection of longevity, and protecting his great Song Dynasty forever.

It's a pity that Song Shenzong was still busy with the matter of changing the law at that time, and he never had the energy and time to complete this matter.

And now, Zhao Xu suddenly remembered this matter because of Lu Zhi's matter, so he thought about simply taking the opportunity to do it.

Over the years, several of his Zhao Xu's children have died early one after another, and he also wants to use this incident to pray for his future children, so as not to really end up with no future.

And his move really scratched Lu Zhi's itch, and after thinking about it, Lu Zhi finally decided to accept the matter.

After all, this is an opportunity to compile the Longevity Daozang!

More than ten years later, the civil official named Huang Shang was also because of the compilation of Wanshou Daozang by supervising the carving, and he realized the superior Taoist martial arts, known as the Nine Yin True Scripture of the General Outline of Martial Arts in the World.

And what Lu Zhi lacks now is the accumulation of martial arts concepts, if he can get this opportunity, maybe he can also use this to get out of his own path.

Therefore, for him, this matter is exactly what he dreams of, and there is no reason to refuse.

Left and right is just nominally being a courtier of his old Zhao family for a few days, and it is not for him to shave his hair and keep that money rattail braid, and he can't talk about any resistance in his heart.

Therefore, after following the worship of Taoist priests in Duanwangfu, Lu Zhi once again changed himself and became a bachelor of the Great Song Dynasty, who was responsible for searching the Taoist books of the world and editing and compiling the Taoist collection of Wanshou.

The next day, Lu Zhi went to the school bookstore to take office, and Zhao Xu had also issued an edict, ordering all Taoist temples in the Great Song Dynasty to copy a copy of the Taoist books in the temple, and send them to Bianliang, Tokyo, to proofread and compile them into the Wanshou Taoist Collection.

For a time, a steady stream of Taoist books were sent to the school bookstore from all over the world, and Lu Zhi was also very conscientious to carefully read and study every Taoist book sent, while proofreading the errors and omissions in it, while secretly pondering the essence of the scriptures.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already half a year later.

On this day, Chen Duzhi suddenly appeared in the school bookstore and found Lu Zhi.

Although Lu Zhi's sense of this gloomy old eunuch has never been very good, he is now working under the old Zhao family, so after hearing the message from his clerk, Lu Zhi still took the time to meet him.

"I don't know why Chen Duzhi came to the school bookstore?"

Chen Mao (original name) first sent out the Taoist priests and clerks who were busy proofreading Taoist books in the room, and then took out a small yellow fold and said.

"This is an official decree." Chen Mao first handed the small fold to Lu Zhi, and then continued, "Recently, there have been many murders of chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes, and even Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the beggar gang, was also murdered by traitors. ”

"This matter not only made the rumors in the rivers and lakes, but even the officials were very concerned."

"The disciples of the Beggar Gang, in recent years, we have made a lot of contributions in the battle between our Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, so we can't sit idly by and watch the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang be killed."

"After all, this matter is too strange, it is very likely that the Xixia Yipintang, or the people of Tubo and Daliao deliberately came to the territory of my Great Song Dynasty to provoke the conspiracy of my Great Song Dynasty martial arts to fight each other."

"Therefore, the official family ordered us to investigate the causes and consequences of this matter, so that my Great Song Wulin can be restored to stability as soon as possible."

"And I think about it, and I think the most suitable person to do this is only Lu Zhidao you."

Lu Zhi: "....."

He glanced at Zhao Xu's handwritten edict in his hand, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

"Is the official family also in charge of this matter of the rivers and lakes?"

If he remembers correctly, the Great Song Dynasty court doesn't seem to have played in the book Tianlong, let alone meddling in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
