Chapter IX County Seat (1)
The main gate of the North Mountain View, the gate is open.
All the Taoist priests lined up neatly, and said in unison:
"Greetings, sir!"
Looking at the government people and others who were gradually moving away, the Taoist priests present breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyang Daoren shook his head and said:
"I'm the least used to dealing with government people, and I'm not comfortable with it."
Chiyang Daoist pushed his right hand inward and said with a smile:
"We wait for the monks to accumulate bit by bit, so that we can prolong our lives and seek the karmic position in the underworld."
"And the other generation pretends to be the luck of the emperor, and can easily live forever after death"
"I don't like them either, hahaha~"
A few people strolled inside, and Ma Ping heard this, smiled slightly and did not speak.
In fact, what Anyang Daoist said was closer to the essence, while Chiyang Daoist's Taoism was obviously worse.
The fundamental reason why the Taoists reject the government is that the luck of humanity and the mana of the monks clash with each other!
Humanity is the way to gather people, while cultivation is to return great power to one's own body, which is the opposite path.
The world of gods and demons, all avenues, all ideas, put into practice is power!
Different ways mean different powers, not to mention two completely opposite theories!?
Returning to the abbot's room, several people sat down and re-brewed tea.
Anyang Daoren took a sip of hot tea, waved his hand and said:
"If that's not the case, I'm just not happy."
The people of Chiyang Dao obviously didn't approve, but they just smiled and didn't say much.
And Ma Ping naturally won't say much, he came through time, and the foundation is not "clean".
If someone can hear it and analyze its origins, it will be troublesome.
Pingyang County Ya, Flower Hall.
Master Li walked quickly to the door of the flower hall, waved his hand to stop the door, and said loudly towards the door:
"Adults, students have something to report"
After a while, there was a voice in the room:
"Come in!"
Hurriedly said yes, Master Li opened the curtain and walked into the house.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a museum shelf, on which are placed the daily things of the owner's family, all of which are porcelain, jade and the like.
Bypassing the red sandalwood shelf, I entered the inner room, and saw the county lord sitting behind the wide desk, reading official documents.
Not daring to look at it more, Master Li hurriedly saluted and said:
"The student has seen the adult" then took out a piece of paper from his bosom and put it on the desk:
"This is the receipt from the Dao Palace, please take a look."
didn't look at it, Zhang Xianling didn't raise his head and asked directly:
"What did the Dao Palace say?"
Master Li said carefully:
"The receipt said that they are short of manpower now, and they will deal with it after this period of relief."
"I also said that I can rest assured that the adults are ~"
Syllable!
Throwing the book in his hand, Zhang Xianling turned over the document and threw it on the table, and when he raised his head, his face was already full of anger:
"How unreasonable! He fooled his official like this!"
"What a son of man!"
Turning his head and pointing to the chair on the side, he said:
"Sit down"
"Yes, Master Xie!" Master Li thanked him, and then sat down next to the edge of the chair.
After walking back and forth in the house twice, Zhang Xianling finally made up his mind:
"It can't be delayed any longer!" asked, turning his head.
"The Chongming Daoist I saw yesterday, do you still have an image?"
Master Li hurriedly got up:
"The students still remember this Chongming Daoist, he is the master of the Purple Mountain in the north of the city"
"Hmm," Zhang Xianling nodded and continued:
"Then you will go to the city gate to keep an eye on it in the next few days, and as soon as he arrives, he will immediately invite the county office!"
Master Li was slightly stunned, not knowing what the purpose of his proprietor's arrangement was, but he still immediately responded:
"Yes, students obey!"
Another day passed.
Outside the north gate of Pingyang County.
Ma Ping rode a donkey alone, looking at the blue-brick city wall not far away.
The city wall is three stories high, and it looks very majestic and neat, and only the world of gods and demons will wrap green bricks outside the small county town, right?
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Ma Ping said in his heart:
"Merit system!"
In an instant, a pale golden curtain of light appeared in front of him:
"Ding~
Name: Ma Ping
Race: Human (Congenital Dao Body)
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Shou Yuan: 120
Cultivation: Refining and refining gas (beginner)
Identity: Purple Mountain Viewer
Priesthood: None
Exercises: Pure Yang Gong (2nd Floor)
Merit value: 1 point
”
He is prepared to keep the newly obtained merit for the time being, at least until he figures out the rules for generating merit points, and is not ready to use it.
Moreover, through the exchanges with Chiyang and Anyang in the past two days, his positioning of the Taoist rank has become clearer and clearer.
The Taoist priest was not just a low-level monk as he first thought.
On the contrary, when a monk reaches the Taoist level, he is already a proper ruling class, a high-ranking person!
You must know that in the entire Pingyang County, there are only two Taoist monks on the surface!
Therefore, Meng Ze was dumbfounded because of Huang Chuling's sentence "Daotong should not be in charge of a Taoist temple".
Just as he was thinking about things, he keenly sensed that someone was walking briskly towards him, and when he turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man with a goatee.
When the visitor saw him looking over, he hurriedly stopped and said:
"Xiucai Li Ningcheng, I have seen Chongming Daochang"
Ma Ping raised his eyebrows and said:
"Lord Zhang sent you, what is the so-called matter?"
The person who came was Master Li, who had been waiting on the city gate tower for a day.
He is not surprised to be debunked, he doesn't have this ability, and it is not worth worrying about his own owner.
Thinking so, Master Li arched his hand and said:
"The adults knew that the Taoist chief was coming to Pingyang, so he ordered the students to wait here."
"I want to invite the Taoist to come over and talk about it"
His thoughts turned instantly, thinking about the reason why Pingyang County Ling did this.
Soon, he thought of a possibility:
"Could it be that I didn't get a satisfactory answer in the Dao Palace last time, so I found myself here?"
If so, do you want to go?
I quickly analyzed the pros and cons in my heart, and what the impact of going or not going.
After a long time, Ma Ping glanced at the sweaty sideburns of the visitor, and said slowly:
"But, let's lead the way."
To deal with the deacons of the Merit House who are entrenched in the Dao Palace, the Pingyang Order is also a big help.
"Yes, Dao Chief, please come with me~"
"Yes"
The two of them headed towards the county office.
Pingyang County Ya, back garden.
Let the subordinates prepare the tea and fruits, and Zhang Xian ordered everyone to retreat.
Attentive says:
"Chief Chongming, please take a seat~" said and sat down as well.
"The last time I said goodbye in a hurry in Beishanguan, Zhang has always regretted it"
"It's a joy to see the Taoist again today."
As he spoke, he raised his glass and took a drink.
Ma Ping picked up the teacup and swallowed it, the aroma and taste were good, but it didn't have the effect of concentrating, and it couldn't compare to the dragon bud fragrance last time.
Then he smiled and said:
"Goodbye sir, the demeanor is still the same, fortunately~"
Tea over three rounds.
Feeling that the heat was almost over, Zhang Xianling put down the teacup and sighed.
Ma Ping secretly said in his heart, but his face was silent.
Asked:
"My lord has a sad face, but there is something difficult to do, you might as well talk about it!"
"Alas" sighed, and Zhang Xianling said the purpose of this time:
"Do you remember the last time you talked about the frequent occurrence of demonic incidents?"
Sure enough, it's because of this!
Suddenly knowing in his heart, Ma Ping said:
"Naturally, I remember, I still remember that I said that I had already Xingwen Dao Palace" and then showed a trace of curiosity on his face:
"I wonder what's going on?"
