Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 16 is not welcome
Under Yuan Kexin's reminder, the thoughts of the two of them were complete and clear, and they felt a little like seeing the sun.
Even Yuan Mingkong, who had been struggling, felt that he had grasped the key point, and he had been unable to make up his mind before, because he had missed the group of Taoist priests in Baihe Mountain.
Thinking about one thing, he should be happy, Yuan Mingkong stood up excitedly, but saw Zhao Rang sitting there frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yuan Mingkong looked funny, so he reached out and touched his arm, and said:
"You said I was hesitant before, but what are you thinking?"
Zhao Rang sighed and said:
"Have you dealt with Taoist priests?"
Yuan Mingkong thought for a moment and nodded.
In the north, the incense of the Taoist temple is good, and the Taoist priests are not low in status whether they are in the folk or in the temple. The continuous worship of the people, coupled with the worship of the government and the royal family, almost every Taoist temple can be regarded as rich. Among them, the elder Taoist is even called the "old fairy", and his prestige near the Taoist temple even exceeds that of the local parents.
Coupled with the practice of Taoist priests, there are not so many rules and precepts. Except for not eating beef, everything else seems to be no different from ordinary people. If you cultivate some Taoist medicine methods, whether you go down the mountain to take the pulse and needle, then the people will be treated differently.
"After Dawei divided the north and south, knocked out many temples that did not enter the stream, although I have not been to Baihe Mountain, but I have heard of it for a long time, it is a great blessed land in the north!"
Yuan Mingkong's words attracted Zhao Rang's disdain.
Not far from his house, there is a mountain gate, and the two "old fairies" in it are still his father's friends. At that time, Zhao Rang was young and young, but he also followed his father, climbed the high steps, and went to the temple to listen to the two "old immortals" say words that they couldn't understand. Fortunately, the tea in the view is very delicious, fragrant and elegant, and does not lose the aftertaste.
But somehow, this Taoist temple was suddenly classified as an obscene shrine by the government.
On that day, hundreds of officers and soldiers came and went, and the water around the mountain gate from top to bottom was blocked, but not a single Taoist priest was caught. As for the two "old immortals", they are even extinct in the world, and even Zhao Rang's father doesn't know how they got out.
Later, when Zhao Rang grew up, he realized that the government's vigorous purging of the temple was nothing more than the incense money that had lasted for a long time!
The north is not richer than the south, and at first glance, it is not good to scrape oil directly from the common people, so he thought about it for a long time and came up with such a crooked idea.
The incense money is also squeezed out by the common people to save money, which is nothing more than sustenance in their hearts. But the government thinks that as long as I don't take it out of your pocket, it won't be a loot.
As for the remaining Taoist temples after the clearance, most of them were bought with money.
The bigger the Taoist temple, the more attention is paid to incense, and in order to survive, it has to empty out the family foundation and ask for peace.
Guarding a gold mine like Baiheshan is naturally no exception.
Life is definitely not as comfortable as before, but compared to other mountain gates, it is still outstanding.
"It's better to give them a heads-up first."
Yuan Kexin said again.
Yuan Mingkong also agreed to do so.
Baiheshan is also a big force, and you have to consider your own face.
Of course, this matter still fell on Zhao Rang.
One is that Yuan Mingkong is injured and has difficulty moving, and the other is that Zhao Rang walked with them for three days, even if he didn't speak, he was also familiar. In the melee last night, although none of the Taoist priests of Baihe Mountain showed up, they must have been secretly observing.
As long as he saw Zhao Rang desperately fighting the Blood Eagle warriors of the West Wind, he must be willing to listen to what he said.
"What do you want me to say?"
Zhao Rang asked.
"It can't be said that this group of people used you as a cover just to come to the Shang Alliance to sell feather arrows to the people of the Western Regions...... Isn't that more complicated the more you talk about it? If this group of Taoist masters are interested again, and they feel that they are able to summon the gods through immortals, and they have to touch them, it will not be self-defeating! ”
Now even Yuan Kexin has no idea.
In fact, according to Zhao Rang's thoughts, as long as he sneaked into the courtyard of the Admiralty Dart Bureau again, called the secret door in the backyard, and burned down the arrow factory, wouldn't this be enough? Where is the use of thinking hard in this, balancing left and right.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel irritable, Zhao Rang picked up the wine jar brought by Fang Cai Yuan Kexin and poured a big sip!
"Ahem...... Why is it so spicy! ”
As soon as the wine was in his mouth, before he could swallow it, Zhao Rang spit it out.
This wine is really strong!
It's like someone is stirring it in his mouth with a knife.
Yuan Kexin sneered and said:
"It's medicinal wine! I'm using it to wash my brother's wounds, I can't drink it! ”
Zhao Rang stuck out his tongue, no wonder it was so unpleasant, and there was a pungent fishy smell, so he hurriedly looked for water to rinse his mouth, wanting to dilute the fishy and spicy position in his mouth, but when he turned around, he saw two people standing outside the store.
At this moment, the sky was bright, and the sun was shining from behind the two of them, Zhao Rang didn't see the faces of the two clearly, but he recognized that they were wearing the Taoist clothes of Baiheshan.
When I walked in, I recognized that one of them was the extremely majestic Taoist.
At this moment, he was wearing a dark color robe, and when the breeze blew, it fluttered up, and it was really a fairy wind bone.
Next to him was a young Taoist priest, seeing that Zhao Rang noticed the two of them, he stepped forward, folded his hands, made a Taoist salute, and said:
"The tutor wants to talk to the donors, can you enter the store?"
Zhao Rang turned sideways and pointed at Yuan Mingkong.
He's not the owner of the shop, so of course he doesn't count.
Seeing this, Yuan Mingkong immediately returned the salute and said:
"Dao Chief, please come in!"
Yuan Kexin immediately cleaned up the table and brought two more chairs.
The young Taoist priest waited for his master to sit down, but he didn't do it, holding his hands, standing quietly behind, looking at his nose and nose, as if he was in a daytime fugue.
The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at Zhao Rang deeply and said:
"Poor Dao White Crane Mountain Xuan Lingzi, Xie Er made a righteous move last night!"
After saying that, he got up and bowed deeply to Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong.
Yuan Mingkong didn't dare to hold it up, and his mouth was polite.
Zhao Rang felt that it didn't matter, and really accepted his gift. But in my heart, I thought, these bull's noses are really not authentic...... Last night, the arrows rained down like fire, and I didn't see any of you come out to help with a sword. When the dust settles today, I come over to say some cheap words that don't cost money, which is really hypocritical!
Xuan Lingzi saw that Zhao Rang was dissatisfied, but he was not embarrassed, but asked with a smile:
"Does Master Zhao know why Poor Dao didn't make a move last night?"
Zhao Rang muttered in his heart: Aren't you afraid of death? But he said lightly:
"I don't know, presumably the Taoist is as capable as a god, and he should have a more clever calculation."
When the young Taoist priest heard Zhao Rang taunting his master, his eyes immediately widened, and he was very unconvinced and was about to argue.
Xuan Lingzi tilted his head slightly, suppressed his apprentice's anger, and then said to Zhao Rang:
"Zhao Shizhu is thinking well, he is afraid of death!"
What he wanted was told by someone, and Zhao Rang subconsciously shrank back. Could it be that this old Taoist priest is really a half-immortal? Can you know what's going on in other people's minds through your belly?
And admitting that he is afraid of death so openly is very human.
For a while, Zhao Rang's attitude towards this Xuan Lingzi couldn't help but be a little more correct.
"This time, I came to Baiheshan to buy from the Western Regions Business Alliance, for the celebration of Lu Zu's ascension to immortality in a month, but also to give the younger generations a chance to go out and practice."
Zhao Rang nodded.
Xuan Lingzi said this very sincerely.
No matter what the power is, whether it is a family or a Taoist temple, if you want to continue, the most important thing is people.
As long as everyone in the younger generation can stand and stand firmly, then there will be no worries.
But experience doesn't mean you have to work hard.
There are many opportunities for long-term knowledge, and you can take your time, but there is only one life, and if you lose it, you will lose it, but there is no chance to make up for it.
In this way, Zhao Rang can also figure out why Xuan Lingzi didn't do anything last night.
As the highest junior in the Baihe Mountain industry, he must give priority to ensuring the safety of his disciples. If he is asked to make a reckless move like Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong, it will be a little unkind.
"What the Dao Chief said is right, it's the kid who is abrupt, the Dao Chief is not strange!"
Zhao Rang is also a person who can afford to let go, and Xuan Lingzi's words made him greatly change his opinion of him.
In this world, it is always the truth and sincerity that can move people the most, Xuan Lingzi is so open and honest, Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong are very comfortable.
But they also knew that since Xuan Lingzi came to the door in person, it was by no means as simple as saying thank you.
Let's talk about last night's events first, and I'm afraid what I'm going to talk about next is the right thing.
"Although my Baihe Mountain is a Taoist gate, it stands to reason that I shouldn't pay attention to earthly things, but God has the virtue of a good life, how can I kill in vain? Thinking that Lu Zu has been in the Tao for eight hundred years, he has never flown a sword to take people's heads. The move of the Admiralty Dart Bureau is really a promising way of heaven and cannot be tolerated! ”
Zhao Rang followed Xuan Lingzi's words and asked:
"What does the chief want to do?"
Xuan Lingzi's eyes were like cold stars, and the momentum around him suddenly condensed, and he said slowly:
"The craftsman is innocent."
The craftsman is innocent, which means that the rest should be killed.
Zhao Rang couldn't help laughing, feeling that this Xuan Lingzi Daoist was really angry with him!
He had already thought about it, and there was nothing to say about such a person, either to burn down his arrow factory, or to put the Admiralty dart game here in a pot, so that they could break their muscles and bones, and have a long memory!
"This afternoon, my transaction in Baiheshan will be completed, and I will leave the business alliance tomorrow."
Xuan Lingzi looked out of the door and saw that no one was paying attention to this, and then said:
"Tonight, Poor Dao will personally take action, and use the method of five thunders and heavenly fires to let these villains and gangsters be cleansed by the power of heaven!"
Zhao Rang heard what he said so mysteriously, he wanted to ask what the "Five Thunder Heavenly Fire" was, but before he could ask, he was preempted by Yuan Mingkong.
"What does the Daoist need me to do?"
Xuan Lingzi shook his head and said:
"The two donors only need to help the poor road take care of the accompanying juniors, they have never traveled far, they don't know that people's hearts are sinister, don't let them suffer from the cold arrows of the wicked!"
