A hundred years is enough time for the people of Fenglinzhou to figure out the nine-product system of Daomen.

For outsiders, low-grade Taoists are generally referred to as "Daochang", the fourth grade is called "Master", the third grade is called "Gaogong Master", referred to as "Gaogong", the second grade is called "Zhenren", and the first grade is called "Dazhenren". Only the Daomen themselves will call each other their positions, and they will be even closer, as if not everyone can call the Heavenly Master an old man.

At the beginning, the title of the leader was "all mages", which was more of a kind word, just like the common people shouted "general" when they saw a military attache casually, in fact, the military attache who could be honored as a "general" had to be at the level of a chief military officer, and basically had no contact with the people.

In the same way, when they saw a Taoist priest, they called him "mage", that is, flattery, but they never expected that the person who came was not only a genuine mage, but also a high-level mage.

The leader almost didn't kneel down to sit down.

Qi Xuansu stopped this person's big salute: "Our Daomen doesn't pay attention to kneeling and worshipping, what is your name?" Are you from Jinya? ”

"Back to Gaogong, the villain's name is Kinoshita Shinemon, and he is in charge of transporting the Jinya??????????????? Send ore. The leader replied humbly.

Qi Xuansu said: "Listen to your name, you are a warrior?" ”

"You can't hide anything from Gao Gong." Kinoshita Shinemon hurriedly said, "I once did a good job for the lord of the domain, so I was given the surname Kinoshita by the lord of the domain, and later because I was injured, I was sent here to transport ore. ”

Qi Xuansu nodded, not surprised.

Although the common people of Fenglinzhou do not have a surname, they also have a way to rise, that is, to follow the daimyo to fight, as long as they make meritorious contributions, they can be given the surname by the lord to become the lowest-level samurai, that is, supernumerary samurai, similar to the fellow Taoist born by the Daomen. The high-ranking samurai were hereditary samurai, generally from local wealthy families.

Qi Xuansu got straight to the point and said: "I want to see your Lord Qiben, lead the way." ”

Kinoshita Shinemon opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the guts, so he could only choose to agree in the end and lead Qi Xuansu and his party to the battle house.

When I arrived at the village, I was full of busy workers, both men and women.

This made Qi Xuansu a little surprised, it is not strange that the Daomen pay attention to equality, and it must be matched by men and women, even to the point of being stunned. But in the relatively backward Fenglinzhou, this is very rare.

Here, women work like men, transporting ores, stepping on bellows, and they are not cowering and lowering their eyebrows like those women in Fenglinzhou, but they are talking and laughing, even if they have some conflicts with men, they do not show weakness, and their status is obviously not low.

Just as the women of the Daomen will also go to war.

Dignity and status are not earned by others' charity, nor are they shouted out, they must be obtained in exchange for practical actions, and they must also adapt to the current environment.

This leads to a problem, if someone can go back to the past, move this set of Daomen to the past, and tell the ancients, don't farm, farming is not profitable, you must do a good job in commerce and trade, you want to go to sea, you want to be equal, you want to use gunpowder instead of cavalry, you want to discuss matters together, you want to abandon Confucianism, you want to open up the wisdom of the people, you want to depose the emperor, which court did this, not the things that should be done in the history books, and the destruction of the country is just around the corner. This is a typical maladaptation to the current environment.

Lu Yuting, as a Daomen woman, couldn't help but praise all the way: "There is a feeling of competition and vitality here." ”

Han Yongfeng said: "If you want me to say, it's still a problem of insufficient manpower, if there are enough people, how can women be allowed to work in the workshop?" ”

Lu Yuting was unhappy: "Why can't women work in the workshop, you look down on women?" ”

Han Yongfeng waved his hand and said: "I don't mean to look down on it, just state a fact, men's strength is greater than that of women, and it is easier to use men than women, and some men must use men first." You don't want to talk about how women are, not all women can smooth out the innate differences between men and women through cultivation like you. ”

Qi Xuansu didn't participate in the argument, he just thought about something.

From the smelting technology to the scene in front of him, this reminded him of a point, some people in Fenglinzhou seemed to be deliberately imitating the Daomen, the Daomen was crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they followed the Daomen to cross the river by touching the Daomen.

Daomen rules Fenglinzhou and keeps Fenglinzhou under its control, but Daomen has indeed brought certain development and progress to Fenglinzhou, just like a wolf, when it is just a wolf cub, it will naturally take it casually and grow up??????????????? After that, it can still be handled, but it is not so easy, and it is difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Just when Lu Yuting and Han Yongfeng were arguing about a grand proposition, two people walked out of a house in the middle of the stockade, wearing a canopy, a robe and a head bag around their necks, wearing armor on their hands, wearing foot stumbling on the lower half of their bodies, straw sandals on their feet, and shakuhachi in their hands.

The so-called canopy, similar to a barrel-shaped or pot-shaped basket, is to put this kind of basket upside down on the head, and then open some gaps for vision, that is, to wear a canopy. The shakuhachi is a pipe-like instrument that resembles a flute.

Li Mingshan said softly: "It's a void monk." ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "What is a Void Monk?" ”

Li Mingshan explained: "It is a monk of the Puhua Sect of Fenglinzhou Buddhism, also known as a vain monk, who does not shave, does not live in the temple, can wear a sword and a sword, and walk in all directions with musical instruments. Fenglinzhou Buddhism has various unreasonable connections with the imperial court and the prime minister's house, and the Puhua Sect has been granted many privileges, and those who can enter the Puhua Sect and become a nihilistic monk are first limited to samurai origins, and ordinary townspeople cannot become monks. In addition, the Void Monks of the Puhua Sect were also granted the privilege of being free to travel around the world, so many secret agents would also travel around the world dressed as Void Monks. Its main mountain is located in the light and dark temple of Heikyo. ”

"Good fellows." Han Yongfeng couldn't help but say, "This Fenglinzhou Buddhism Gate is really outrageous, his mother opened the door outrageously, outrageous to home, you can eat meat, you can marry a wife and have children, and now even the shaving degree is saved, I really don't know where the so-called escape into the empty door is." ”

The Daomen does not talk about emptiness, but only the Xuan, so the leader of the Daomen is called the Xuansheng. Buddhism is the way to talk about emptiness, so the leader of Buddhism is called the King of Emptiness. However, Han Yongfeng didn't mention the saber, after all, it was a very common thing for a Taoist priest to carry a sword.

At the same time, the two Void Monks also saw Qi Xuansu and the others, and subconsciously pressed the hilt of the saber on their waists.

However, the two of them may have seen Qi Xuansu's strength, but they were just wary and fearful, but they didn't mean to act rashly.

Qi Xuansu looked at the two of them, and was a little hesitant to take this person down.

If these two monks were nihilistic monks who were loyal to the Prime Minister's Mansion, then the Taoist priest who saw the Daomen would not be so nervous.

At this moment, a woman's voice sounded: "All the guests are here, please don't conflict." ”

is also fluent in the Central Plains Mandarin.

Qi Xuansu followed the prestige, and from that mansion came out of another woman, dressed in feather weaving, dressed completely as a man, wearing a short knife called "Temple in the Poor" around her waist, and holding a Zhongqi similar to a folding fan. However, the hair bun and makeup are dressed as women, with two sideburns hanging down, neat bangs in front of the forehead, as if cut out with a knife, coiled hair at the back of the head, and a ctenophore for hair binding on the forehead.

Kinoshita Shinemon hurried over and reported to the woman: "Miji-sama, this is the Qi Gao Gong of the Daomen. ”

When the woman heard the word "high skill", her eyelids jumped slightly, and she looked at Qi Xuansu carefully again: "It's really rare to see such a young high skill mage. ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "Is Your Excellency the flag book of the local array house?" ”

"It's me, it's good if Gao Gong calls me Phantom Ji." The woman said.

In Fenglinzhou, the first king to be recognized and canonized by the Central Plains Imperial Court was a woman, so the women's flag was not a very unusual thing.

Qi Xuansu said: "For the sake of the face of the Phantom Ji Qiben???????????????, I can let them go." ”

After saying that, Qi Xuansu waved his sleeves at the two Void Monks: "Whether you can understand it or not, after half a burnt incense, if you still appear in front of me, then I don't guarantee that you will be able to leave Izumo Kingdom alive." ”

The two Void Monks hesitated for a moment, then quickly left.

From beginning to end, they didn't say a word.

Qi Xuansu looked at Phantom Ji again: "Phantom Ji Qiben, we pay attention to etiquette and exchanges in the Central Plains, I will give you face, let go of these two suspicious Void Monks, you will definitely give me face, right?" ”

Phantom Ji was only silent for a moment, and then smiled: "This is natural, Phantom Ji greets the high martial arts master of the Dao Gate, please." ”

】

Qi Xuansu and his party followed Phantom Ji to her house, which was not gorgeous, on the contrary, it was very simple, and more importantly, there were tables and chairs.

After each of them sat down, Phantom Ji looked around at everyone and said, "I never thought that my small array house would usher in a high-level mage and four mages, and it is still such a young high-level skill, and it is expected to become a big man in charge of the Dao Sect in the future, which is really brilliant." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "It seems that Phantom Ji Qi is very familiar with the Daomen, and we can roughly judge the grade of our Taoist priests just by our clothing and clothing. ”

Phantom Ji smiled: "My husband is a Western merchant, and I have followed him around the world, not these Lingguo countries in Fenglin Continent, but Western countries, the New World, Borneo, Po Sazhou, and Lingnan, Qizhou, Jiangzhou, Liaodong and other places in the Daxuan Imperial Court. In these places, it is difficult to either deal with the Holy See, or the Daomen, or at the same time, even if you are not familiar with it. ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "Why don't you see your husband?" ”

Phantom Ji showed a sad expression: "He's dead. ”

Qi Xuansu's face didn't show any change in expression: "I'm sorry, please mourn." ”

Phantom Ji observed Qi Xuansu's expression, and suddenly smiled: "I killed it." He was tainted with too many vices at sea, saying that he was a merchant and more like a brutal pirate, and I couldn't stand his tyranny, so I took advantage of his drunkenness, pierced his heart, took his treasure, and then returned to Fenglin Continent, bribed the local feudal lord with gold, and obtained the identity of Qiben. ”
