Chapter 56: Questions and Answers
Liu Xin carefully read the text of the invitation in his hand word by word, and then put this hot invitation letter in the eyes of outsiders on the tea table, took a sip of the rabbit hair and asked:
"How many Taoist chiefs or abbots have you contacted this time?"
"Returning to the court."
The sergeant at the head of the next was dusty, and it seemed that he had just come from afar and didn't even have time to change his clothes, and replied with his fists clenched: "In the four places around Kaifeng, the abbots of fifty-seven Taoist temples and thirty-six temples have sent people to contact one by one. ”
"How did it turn out?"
Hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on the sergeant's face, and he replied seriously and forcefully: "It's all false, and none of it is true." ”
Although he had known the result for a long time, hearing such a categorical tone from his henchman, Liu Xin still couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.
“…… In the classics of each lineage, there is no record of the birth of true immortals and true Buddhas? ”
He still didn't give up and continued to ask.
"There are a few that do have records that have been handed down." The sergeant recalled: "However, most of the language is unknown, and even if I repeat it step by step according to the method in the classics, I still can't hear any response from the immortal Buddha." ”
"Could it be ......" Liu Xin collapsed backwards as if someone had taken his backbone away, and muttered: "It's really like what the immortals said, the realm of our life is a Jedi outside the world abandoned by all the immortals and Buddhas!" ”
"Otherwise, why did the gods and Buddhas of the heavens never answer our prayers?!"
“……”
The sergeant muttered, as if he wanted to say something, and forcibly suppressed it.
Liu Xin was keenly aware of this, and said: "Say whatever you want, you and I are masters and servants, you don't have to be formal." ”
"Yes, sir!" The sergeant clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Among all the temples and Taoist temples, there is only one Taoist temple called Taicheng Temple, which is a bit strange. ”
"Oh?!" Liu Xin came to the spirit: "Let's talk about it in detail." ”
This temple is located in the surrounding mountains and forests of Linyi County, Jinan Prefecture, far away from people, and is only worshipped by some local villagers. However, after learning about it later, it seems that the locals of Linyi often come and go back and forth with this temple in the city, which aroused the interest of the spies. ”
"After investigation, there are not many people in the temple, and there is a total temple wish, who is in his early fifties, but he is in good spirits and in good health, and his legs are often seen walking briskly, not as sick as the elderly."
"Most of the rest are lonely and widowed children he adopted, seventeen or eighteen, who are responsible for doing some chores in the temple, and there are five people with visions like Lao Miaozhu, all of whom are children over the age of thirteen."
Liu Xin nodded after pondering carefully: "If this is the case, why don't you mark it here, but instead report that there is no accurate result?" ”
The sergeant smiled bitterly and said, "The spies took a lot of effort to get in touch with a local believer who often donates at the Taicheng Temple, and set up this line. ”
"Then he asked Miao Zhu if he could communicate with the gods without being exposed, and Miao Zhu immediately nodded and agreed, and also said that he could also get the blessing of the gods, and only needed to spend a small amount of money."
"And then?"
"Later...... The temple Zhu smoked medicine for him, and in a trance, he said that it seemed to be really like a fairyland, his body was as light as a swallow, and his body was unbearable and hot, and he couldn't wait to burrow into the ice cave to melt the cold clouds......"
Liu Xin found that it was difficult for him not to sweat, he suppressed his anger and said calmly: "Just such a crazy Taoist who engages in five stone scattering, is it worth you to go around such a big circle with me here?" ”
The sergeant hurriedly kowtowed and saluted: "Don't dare, after our secret investigation, there are no ingredients of Wushisan in those medicines, but some unrecognizable medicinal materials, and the miscellaneous workshop is still under investigation, so I didn't tell the adults to know about it as soon as possible." ”
When Liu Xin heard this, he collected his anger and pondered for a long time and said, "What do the abbots of Daxiangguo Temple say? Will you go to the ceremonies of the Immortal Sect? ”
"Master Zhiyun said that he would send his favorite little disciple to go and debate with Daozi, and the news has just been released, and we have got first-hand news."
"Debate?" Liu Xin muttered: "Old immortal, do you really think Daozi will give him face?" ”
"Those of us who have been abandoned by our own belief in immortals and Buddhas, what qualifications do we have to argue with the Taoist who has the support of true immortals behind others?"
The sergeant added: "The subordinates also suspect that the Immortal Sect has been too popular recently, which has seriously affected the number of believers in the Great Xiangguo Temple, especially among the upper echelons, almost more than thirty percent of the noble children have been lost to the Immortal Sect, racking their brains to get close to the Daozi." ”
"That's it, or because the Immortal Sect is now closed, if the mountain gate is reopened after the ceremony, it is estimated that most people will compete to believe in the Immortal Venerable."
"yes, I see." Liu Xin rubbed his brows, and asked about the recent movements of the envoys of various countries, and what His Majesty the Emperor has been busy with recently.
As the Prime Minister of the Empire, most of what he has to deal with every day is the intelligence of these forces and the issuance of government decrees in various parts of the Empire.
"Is that so? Wang Changsheng Daozi's bloodline was controlled by the people of the Imperial City Division first, you don't dare to show up rashly, you can only watch the people of the Imperial City Division take away this remote bloodline Wang family. ”
Liu Xin pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Send someone to the Immortal Sect to deliver a message, and tell His Royal Highness Daozi that the official family has found a royal family's blood kinship." ”
"Yes." The sergeant nodded in response.
……
"My relatives?"
Zhang Yuqing looked at Lu Liang who hurriedly came to report to him, turned his head to Zixuan and said, "Go on." ”
"Yes."
Zixuan sweated like rain, and her delicate little face was full of seriousness.
As soon as she gave the order, dozens of beautiful women in fluttering dresses and light as the wind flew up in the square.
The clouds are shrouded, and the fairy music is ethereal.
The ladies danced with long sleeves, and dozens of beauties had buds that bloomed, spreading out to all sides, like countless delicate petals gently flying between heaven and earth, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers was intoxicating.
"It's a good picture of flying immortals, the plain girl is thinking of flying in the sky, and the white jade is jagged and the phoenix is sounding!"
Lu Liang was stunned, and forgot to answer Daozi's question for a while.
It was only later that he reacted and continued to answer.
“…… It is said that the grandfather's generation was divided, and the main branch is His Royal Highness Daozi, which is rooted in Kaifeng Bianliang, and the branch moved to Jinan Mansion. ”
Zhang Yuqing spent most of his attention on manipulating dozens of beauties in the air, and at the same time wantonly perfunctory Lu Liang said: "Well, I know, so what?" ”
"Daozi, is it necessary to include this branch of the branch clan in the sect, so as not to have some ...... Someone or want to pass them to the disadvantage of the Taoist teaching? ”
Hearing Lu Liang's worried words, Zhang Yuqing smiled and said, "There is no need for this at all. ”
Wang Changsheng's relatives live or die, what does it matter to me Zhang Yuqing?
Not to mention a relative who can't be beaten by eight poles, if it is a person who can use it to threaten him, can this immortal still be cultivated?
If you want to pay attention to this kind of thing, it is better to rehearse a few more ceremonies, or practice a few spells and refine a few magic weapons.
