Li Mei'er put her hands behind her back, turned her head and shouted outside the door: "Come in." ”

The hollow wooden door of the study opened, and a thin figure in sackcloth walked in, Li Siye looked back to see that this Taoist was too bitter, his feet were wearing straw sandals, his sackcloth was torn, there was not even a towel on his head, his hair was fluffy, and only a bamboo hairpin was inserted backwards.

After the Taoist priest entered the door, he looked around, as if he was looking at feng shui, and his demeanor was free and natural, unlike ordinary people who were very afraid of officials.

Li Siquan regarded him as a member of the Daomen, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Sir, please take a seat."

The man sat cross-legged on the futon, shook his head and pointed to the roof, and said, "In the whole courtyard, this room is smooth sailing, and it is the most suitable for the wedding room."

"Here? Okay, too. ”

Li Siye did not object, and Twelve Niang stood outside the door and monitored.

"General Li, according to the birth dates of you and Mrs. Li, Poor Dao has calculated that the ninth day of the next month will be a good day for Shangshang to get married."

"On the ninth day of the first month, it's almost the end of the month, fifteen days? It's a little faster, yes. ”

After Li Siye nodded in agreement, he stopped talking, waiting for the guest to take the initiative to leave.

Who knew that this Taoist priest had no intention of leaving, his hands were slightly folded, he looked up at the top of Li Siye's head and said: "Poor Dao has traveled all over the world, and what he has learned is miscellaneous, and he has successively worshiped Zhang Guo Heavenly Master, Taisu Zhenren Ye Fashan, and Luo Gongyuan Heavenly Master to practice the Fa, and now I dare not say that I am proficient in the Great Dao, but I have also achieved the magic method."

After the Taoist priest said this, his eyelids drooped and he was silent, probably waiting for Li Siye to ask and praise. After all, these three are too famous at the moment, even the martial arts pawns who don't believe in gods and Buddhas have heard of it. Ye Fashan is proficient in Fu Seal after five dynasties, and Luo Gongyuan and Bukong Sanzang fighting methods spread all over the alleys. It's a pity that Li Siye is not interested in this, the last two names are equal to symbols to him, isn't Zhang Guo one of the Eight Immortals? Worship Zhang Guo as a teacher, this experience can be taken out and blown.

Maybe he's really bragging.

Li Siye beckoned to Mei'er: "Go to Twelve Niang and ask for two coins of silver, give this Taoist chief some tea money, it's not early, send the Taoist to go back as soon as possible."

The Taoist priest hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw that the trick of arranging qualifications was not very good, so he pulled his sleeve and stretched out his hand and said: "Wait, Poor Dao is also proficient in the art of looking at qi, just before I entered the study, I saw that there were five-colored air masses on the general's roof......"

"Stop, stop!" Li Siye hurriedly stopped him and said nothing: "You use the excuse of looking at the feng shui of the cave house and the auspicious day of the zodiac, but there is something else to do when you come to a certain house?"

The Taoist priest raised his hand and said, "There is indeed something to ask for." ”

"If you have something, just talk about it, don't talk about these useless things."

"Actually, Poor Dao should have asked the general frankly a long time ago, Poor Dao's name is Zhao Zhengyi, from Jiugong Mountain, Jiugongguan ......"

"Talk about things."

Zhao Zhengyi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "I want to open a Taoist temple in Shule City."

Li Siye tugged at his beard and nodded: "Open a Taoist temple, this is a good thing, as the chief official of Shule Town, I allow you to open a temple in the city, there are still a lot of vacant land in the city, you can choose the address yourself, you can be exempted from the land occupation fee, if it involves demolition, you can settle it yourself."

Zhao Zhengyi stretched his hands gratefully and saluted: "Thank you to the general for opening a convenient door for the poor road, but the poor road has not yet raised funds for the construction of the temple, so I ask the general to raise a donation or two."

Ask me for money?

I didn't ask you for money for the sake of the local church, and you still want to knock out the money from me?

"A certain has served in the Western Army for several years, is an honest official, and does not care about private property, so I can't help, Zhao Daochang still finds a way to raise money by himself, send off!"

"Wait a minute," Zhao Zhengyi hurriedly said: "General Li, my Dao ancestor Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan is the ancestor of generals. Now that Buddhism is dominant in this western place, and the four towns of Anxi have no self, Taoism, one palace and one view, can the general just watch the doctrine of the ancestors and the Taoist law blocked to the east of Yumen Pass?"

Li Siye was quite helpless, this big hat was buttoned one by one, dare I want to pay this money, and I will become an unworthy descendant and a national sinner.

Indeed, Taoist thought is more focused on inward seeking, pure and inactive, so it is not as widespread as other religions to bloom everywhere, Chang'an already has a large food religion, Persianism, Nestorianism, Zoroastrianism churches, but Taoism is nested in the Central Plains has not yet come out of the Yumen Pass.

There is no Taoist priest in the world who is keen to spread it out, which in itself is detached from the doctrine of Taoism, so what about this Zhao Zhengyi?

Li Siye shook his head with a smile, and patiently persuaded him: "If you want to cultivate Taoism, how good it is in Chang'an, you can raise funds everywhere." In this Shule city, it is not a good place, the people here believe in the Buddha, and also believe in Zoroastrianism, the Great Food Sect, you are afraid that this Taoist temple will not be accepted by the people for a while, so it is better to change your mind, I will give you some money to go back to the Central Plains to raise money to build a palace, wouldn't it be better?"

Who knew that this Daoist Zhao stood up, looked at the night outside the door, and said with a resolute expression: "Who said that this moraine is the place where the demons of his Western Sect dance wildly? Emperor Xuanyuan of Daozu once traveled to Kunlun in the Great Ruins, and visited the Queen Mother of Yaochi West in the Tianshan Mountains, and the Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains are not located in the north and south of the moraine. I am preparing to build a Taoist temple in this Shule city, but also to remember the traces of Taoist ancestors. ”

"If you want to say that, I have another way, you go back to Chang'an to ask for a holy order, ask him to give Anxi a holy decree, and ask the capital to allocate money to send manpower, and the four towns of Anxi can be repaired wherever you want, how about it."

Zhao Zheng turned around and patted the back of his hand and sighed: "If I can see the saint, will I still wander thousands of miles to this moraine?"

Li Siye keenly grasped a bit of information, this person is not a Taoist priest who is keen on missionary causes, and besides, the Taoist priest is not keen on missionary work, but he is just an opportunist, and the matter of his Taoist temple is estimated to have been thought up on a whim in the past few months. As for why he came to this prosperous Buddhism, Taoism almost did not set foot in the west, it must be to gain a position. That's the only thing that makes sense.

The profession of Taoist priest is the most popular in Chang'an and Luoyang, after all, it is close to the royal family, whether it is Longyou Li or Zhaojun Li are believers, and any big family sponsors a Jiao Festival, it is enough for Taoist priests to eat half a life. But the employment pressure in the popular place is also great, and there are many monks in Chang'an, who want to win honors like Zhang Guo, Luo Gongyuan, and Ye Fashan, and be worshiped by the emperor as a heavenly master, and it is estimated that he will struggle all his life and will not have such achievements.

However, Zhao Zhengyi had the ability to think backwards, and took the initiative to jump out of Chang'an, a place where the roads were contested, and instead went to the Western Regions to blossom outside the walls of Shule, which was so far away, and built a Taoist temple, and traveled back and forth between the Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun. In the future, once there is a little fame, it will be passed back to Chang'an and spread to the ears of the saints. The gimmick of the title alone is refreshing, the founder of the only palace in the Western Regions, the first person to preach to the west, does it sound awesome? Practicing and preaching between the Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains, is this style high?

This is simply a model of reverse thinking marketing, and it is nothing more than the countryside surrounding the city.

But no matter how good Zhao Zhengyi thought about it and how well he thought about it, Li Siye still refused to pay to help him, which didn't seem to have any practical benefit to him. Besides, the amount of money to spend on the monastic temple is not a small amount, it is not a charity of three melons and two dates, all the money he has now has to be spent on the blade.

"Daochang Zhao, it's a pity, a certain ability is limited, and I still can't help you, why don't you go to Qiuzi and try it? Or go to Igo? Gao Chang? It's closer to the Tien Shan Mountains. ”

Zhao Zheng is bent on talking nonsense, even you, the genuine descendant of the Li family, refuse to bleed, those husbands Meng Lingcha, Gao Xianzhi Hu Ren Anken help me?
