After Chen Duan and Wang Ze reached an agreement, they said they would leave, and they didn't let Wang Ze send a boat to see him off, and they set off by land all the way to the south, and I don't know how he returned to Jiangnan through the Jianghuai region, which is now constantly at war.

Thinking about it, most of this Taoist priest has martial arts, I'm afraid it's okay, Wang Ze is no longer worried about this Taoist chief, no matter whether Taiqing Dao comes to join him or not, he has no loss anyway.

After sending away the fleet to the Southern Dynasties, Wang Ze began to ask his father to prepare to send the fleet to the north to reopen the trade routes of Goguryeo and Khitan in Liaodong, after all, the sea trade is the most profitable.

In the past few months since the beginning of the 'spring' this year, the Northern Qi Dynasty, under the personal leadership of Emperor Gao Yang, has continued to use troops against the Khitan, and the Khitan has been defeated and retreated, and more than 100,000 people have been plundered before and after.

It's already summer now, and Gao Yang has returned victoriously with the Northern Qi army, but he doesn't know that the old patriarch of the Nali tribe is still alive.

was busy for half a month, and sent away the northbound fleet led by He Liang Zhoutong, and it was already the beginning of July of the fourth year of Tianbao.

In about a month or two, the corn in the cottage will be ready for harvesting, and the harvest of 'spring' wheat will not be until September, and by this time He Bo has already begun to busy urging the villages to renovate the granaries.

Wang Ze continued to do various experiments with the students of his academy with great interest, and these twenty or thirty students of Wang Ze admired their little gentleman very much, and they understood the truth of heaven and earth as soon as they heard it, and they were worthy of being immortal disciples.

On this day, Wang Ze was explaining atmospheric pressure to the students, filling a good Qizhou white porcelain cup with water, and then covering a piece of fine Qingzhou paper on it.

When Wang Ze turned the cup downward, the water in the cup would not pour out of the cup, and Cheng Xueying, Zhu Qingqing, and Cheng Xueyan were dumbfounded.

Just as Wang Ze was explaining what was going on with this air, Wang Yong suddenly sent someone to deliver a message saying that Chen Duan, a Taoist priest of the Southern Dynasty who had left more than a month ago, had returned with a large group of old and young Taoist priests who followed Sun Xing and Qu Liulang to the southward fleet.

When Wang Ze came to the cottage 'door', Chen Duan had already helped an old Taoist priest with crane hair and a childish face to the cottage 'door', and Wang Yongzheng brought Lu Wen, Cheng Chong, Zhu Rui, Chen Fuzi and other important people in the cottage to greet him.

The old Taoist priest was followed by more than a dozen Taoist priests, the big and the small, and the big one had three Taoist priests, all of whom seemed to be forty or fifty years old; The dozen or so little Taoist priests are only around twelve or thirteen years old, and they can obviously see a somewhat restrained look on their faces.

I saw that the old Taoist priest at the head had a childish face, his face was wrinkled, his face was ruddy, but he looked more and more kind, his head was wrapped in a scarf, and he was wearing a blue-gray 'colored' Taoist robe, although it looked extremely shabby, but it was very neat.

At this time, the old Taoist saw that Wang Yong and others were already out of the 'door' to greet him, and he waved Chen Duan's hand to support him, returned the salute, and said in his mouth: "Oh, the old Taoist is old and lacks 'essence', and he has been sitting on the sea boat for more than ten days, but he is dizzy and 'flowery'!" Poor Liu Qing made the leaders laugh! ”

Lu Wen held a white feather fan in his hand that he didn't know where to find it, and smiled at the old Taoist elder while shaking it: "Where is it, the old immortal has come here from afar, and we should go out of the 'door' to wait." As he spoke, the feather fan in his hand was still shaking.

On the side, Wang Ze looked at Lu Wen's feather 'feather' fan, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was made of the swan feather 'feather' of the cottage, and muttered in his heart; it seems that Mr. Lu really fell for Zhuge Liang's poison, it is estimated that Chen Duan was infected last time he stayed in the cottage for more than ten days, but those swans in the cottage don't know how much torture they have to suffer!

The group walked while talking, and Wang Yong took the initiative to help Liu Qing, and the atmosphere was harmonious along the way. Several elderly Taoist priests who followed Liu Qing were obviously relieved to see the cottage being so warmly entertained.

At noon, Wang Yong naturally set up a banquet to entertain the Taoist elders who came from afar, as a Taoist priest of Taiqing Dao, although he still ate 'meat' at this time, Liu Qing and others were mainly vegetarian and relatively light.

For this reason, Wang Yong prepared for them all the best bracken and mushrooms from the nearby mountains, as well as kelp harvested during fishing.

At this time, kelp was a great and precious seafood, because in ancient times, kelp grew along the coast of China near the Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula, and the annual output was very low, which was a rare seafood at that time.

After knowing the importance of kelp from Chen Duan and others, Wang Yong immediately instructed that kelp should be collected often in the future, and the demand for kelp among the nobles of the Southern Dynasty was still very large, and it must be sold at a good price.

After the banquet, Liu Qing and the others were sent to a courtyard that had been arranged a long time ago, and the courtyard was next to Chen Fuzi's medical school was a quiet and elegant courtyard, and Chen Duan and the others were very satisfied.

That night, Wang Yong, Wang Ze, Liu Qing, Chen Duan, and Chen Duan's three senior brothers discussed a series of matters after the annexation of Taiqing Road in the cottage hall.

According to the meaning of Chen Duan's senior brothers, they wanted to build a Taoist temple somewhere in the cottage first, but Liu Qing was very stable and was ready to wait for the two sides to finish the contact before starting to talk about these things.

As soon as he sat down, the old Taoist began to introduce: "Poor Dao Liu Qing is the head of this Taiqing Dao, and these people behind him are my apprentices Lu Wangzhi, Zhou Cheng, Li Jie, and Chen Duan. What we agree on today is the precept of our faction! ”

After listening to Liu Qing's words, Wang Ze made his words clear as soon as he came up: "I heard that Sun Tai, the leader of the Five Doumi Sect in the third year of Long'an of the Eastern Jin Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty (399 AD), thought that the Jin Kingdom was about to be exhausted, and led the sect to rebel and 'rebel', I don't know what the chief thinks about this matter?" ”

Although there were many riots among Buddhists during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Taoism, which has always been known as quiet and inactive, has not been without 'chaos'.

In this way, Wang Ze first made his attitude clear, there are so many examples in front, so how can you reassure me?

After listening to Wang Ze's words, Liu Qing and the others were silent for a long time, and then Liu Qing slowly spoke: "And let Xiao Langjun know that Sun Tai is from the Wudou Rice Sect, but he is not in the same vein as the poor Dao Taiqing Dao. Liu Qing began to argue against his sect.

"The five buckets of rice Dao, since the beginning of Zhang Daoling's mission at the end of the Han Dynasty, worshiped the 'Yin' gods and ghosts and emperors' desire' to unify the 'Yin' world, and then established a religion in the human world. When it came to Zhang Daoling's grandson Zhang Lu, he established the country with a religious system, and the head of the sect was the head of a country, but he wanted to establish the heavenly kingdom on earth, which was indeed different from my Taiqingdao. If we preach, we will definitely assist Lang Jun to educate the people and not do political affairs. Liu Qing explained.

Wang Ze listened to Liu Qing's words and said: "Having said that, if I easily allow you to preach, and the people are all dedicated to the Tao and do not follow the crops, then where will food and clothing come from?" ”

Liu Qing was stunned, Taoist priests have always focused on health preservation, and their lives are generally relatively hard, how can so many people go to be Taoist priests, but Wang Ze's words have to be treated with caution.

After thinking about it, he said: "In this way, Xiao Langjun can limit the maximum number of Taoist priests in each place!" Speaking of this, several apprentices behind Liu Qing whispered their dissatisfaction to the master, and Liu Qing ignored a few people.

Wang Ze asked again: "The old Taoist chief must know that the people have always been gullible and worship when they see God, if there is a Taoist priest in another place who pretends to be a Taoist priest of Taiqing, the Taoist chief does not know what to do?" ”

"In this way, every Taoist priest must be recorded in the Taoist temple and the government at the same time before preaching, otherwise he will be punished as a demon, can Xiao Langjun be satisfied?" Liu Qing couldn't imagine that Wang Ze's problems were getting more and more tricky, and even the calming kung fu he had cultivated over the decades was a little calm.

"What Shicai and the Taoist chief said are the guarantee for the longevity of the Dao system in the future of your sect, but I think the teachings of the Taiqing Dao Dao system need to be reformed again!" Wang Ze was very satisfied with Liu Qing's attitude.

"However, it will take some time to revise the doctrine, so it is better for a few gentlemen to settle down first. Then, while going to the medical school to teach the art of Qihuang to save the people and spread fame, he discussed with us the method of "Dao Gate" and Guangda. What does the old gentleman think? Wang Zeyi raised his eyebrows and asked Liu Qing with a smile.

"What Xiao Langjun said is extremely true, such poor Taoist medical skills are quite famous in the land of Jingzhou in the Southern Dynasty!" Speaking of medical skills, Liu Qing stroked his beard with some pride.

Liu Qing learned the Tao in Wudang Mountain with his teacher since he was a child, because the teachings of Taiqing Taoism could not be tolerated by Confucian scholars, so he was mostly treated coldly by the imperial court, so Taiqing Taoism has always been only known in the world for medical health preservation.

Liu Qing since the Southern Qi Ming Emperor Jianwu two years ago, and only after the age of 40 began to practice medicine and administer 'medicine', Jingxiang around the sick and poor people have received its favor, more than 50 years in the land of Jingxiang quite famous, the surrounding mountain people to 'immortal Weng' called.

Liu Qing is now over ninety years old, and he only looks like he is in his sixties or seventies, and with the appearance of the fairy wind bones, he can really be called an old immortal.

Since the 'chaos' of Hou Jingzhi of the Southern Liang Dynasty, there have been many wars and 'chaos' in the Jingxiang area of Jianghan, and the Western Wei Dynasty has taken advantage of the 'chaos' to 'press' step by step, and the surrounding area of Wudang Mountain has become a place of war and 'chaos'.

Liu Qing judged the general trend of the world and saw that the Southern Dynasty had become a sign of destruction, so he sent his disciple Chen Duan to tour around in order to find a place to live again, so as not to cut off the inheritance of Taiqingdao.

Since the preliminary matters were properly negotiated, Wang Yong arranged for Liu Qing and others to stay. Out of the courtyard, Wang Yong asked Wang Ze: "Ze'er, I thought that Futu Sect was hypocrisy and Taoism was good." But listening to what you said, it turns out that the 'gate' of the Southern Dynasty is also a lot of trouble, and I don't know why you still have to accept them? ”

"My father didn't know that the people, whether they were hungry or cold, or had a lot of money, always felt that they had all kinds of troubles, but religion could find a 'spirit' of spiritual comfort for them. However, since the Han Dynasty, the Taoist 'door' has been chaotic and disorganized, scattered and scattered, and does not belong to each other, which is not as rigorous as the general doctrine of Futu, and is justified and well-founded. This is why nowadays, all countries in the north and south worship Buddhism and suppress Taoism? Wang Ze explained to his father as he walked.

Then he continued to explain: "Since the people have such a need, if they are forcibly forbidden, they may repeat the old thing that the king defends the people more than the Sichuan, and it will lead to a big mistake." Wouldn't it be perfect if we could not find a like-minded sect of the Tao and revise the doctrine and Taoism, and we would help them to preach, and they would be bound by us? ”

Wang Yong nodded, only to feel that his son's idea was extremely wise. So Wang Yong said: "In this case, I don't know what doctrines and Taoism are in the future, Ze'er, you go straight to Old Daoist Liu to discuss!" "A pair of shelves where you can do things and I can rest assured.

The arrival of Liu Qing and other Taoist priests made Chen Fuzi both happy and uneasy. Happily, Liu Qing can be described as a great medical master-level figure, even a few of his apprentices are also skilled in medicine.

What was uneasy was that Chen Fuzi thought that he was not highly educated, and wanted to give up the position of dean of the medical school to Liu Qing, or one of Liu Qing's disciples.

However, Liu Qing and others are all religious workers who are ready to devote themselves to the 'door' of the book, and it is okay to put on a name and teach medical skills with their hearts, but they are resolutely not allowed to take the position of the dean.

In the end, Chen Fuzi was still the dean of the medical school, but Liu Qing's disciple Chen Duan reluctantly accepted the position of chief provost, and was responsible for the medical skills of all students in the medical school.

By the time Liu Qing, Chen Duan and other Taoist priests adapted to the life of the cottage, it was already August.

Changguang County has always been 'cloudy' and rainy in autumn, so He Bo has already started the general mobilization of cottages, and all those who can move and run are all organized, ready to harvest, and start farming.
