Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 791

[Chapter 789 Talking about dragons]

Jiangzhou Fucheng.

There was a bustling flow of people, all queuing up to enter the city.

Aaron was still dressed as a farmer, wearing coarse linen clothes, but when he entered the city, he presented an ultimatum!

This is the best residence permit and pass from ancient times!

After all, Dasong also has a road guide system, which is opened by the county. People who want to travel far must go to the government to report and obtain approval.

In fact, farmers are unlikely to leave their own county in their entire lives!

Only literati, or those with meritorious status and above, can travel with swords, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles to practice them to the end.

In addition, there are Taoist priests and monks who have ultimatums.

After possessing the certificate, Aaron can now theoretically go anywhere without the need for directions, and can also sign up for free at any regular Taoist temple… Theoretically, he has the possibility to travel throughout Dasong without spending a penny. !

‘Actually…except for scholars, monks, Taoist priests, and big businessmen, ordinary people can’t afford to travel far away…’

The gatekeeper carefully identified the Taoist ultimatum. It was specially made so that it was easy to distinguish the true from the false. The description of the character’s facial features was compared with Aaron’s one by one, and then he reluctantly believed it and waved to let him go: “Taoist Master, please!”

Today’s emperor worships Taoism, and the status of Taoist priests has been correspondingly improved, at least a little higher than that of monks.

Aaron walked into the city with a calm expression on his face.

The city of Jiangzhou City is indeed very prosperous. On both sides of the street are money shops, pawn shops, blacksmith shops, frosting shops, powder shops, tea shops, cloth shops, restaurants, brothels, refreshment shops…

Among them, small catering shops are the most popular. good.

The streets are crowded with people, and from time to time there are sellers carrying poles walking along the streets selling goods. Even boiled water is bought by people!

If a real country person comes to the city, they will probably be dazzled and they won’t even be able to find a place to set foot!

‘Actually… the prosperity of Jiangzhou Prefecture can only be considered average. It is rumored that the capital city is the most prosperous place in Dasong… The masters of Dajingang Temple are engaged in lending, and it is a first-class prosperous club, where department stores gather. According to ancient Juren, there was a “Zen Master Huiming” who made the roasted pork himself, which was unparalleled in the world. He ate it once when he was going to take the imperial examination, and it is still unforgettable…’

However, when Aaron came this time, It’s about business.

First of all, after possessing the Taoist certificate, he is theoretically a serious Taoist priest, and he must have a few Taoist robes to change.

And a tailor shop in a small town like Luzhouji is a bit not to his liking.

Nowadays, Daosong’s Taoist uniforms are very particular. There are nine types of Taoist scarves: Hunyuan scarf, Jiuliang scarf, Chunyang scarf, Tai Chi scarf, lotus leaf scarf, Kaoshan scarf, Fangshan scarf, Tang scarf and Yizi scarf.

If it is more simple, a yellow wood crown will be used on the top of the head. If it is more luxurious, gold, silver or even jade crowns are also common.

In addition, even the Taoist robes and cloaks are often embroidered with gold and silver threads.

Aaron didn’t intend to be too showy, but at least it couldn’t be lower than the average level of his peers – to be honest, he had endured the uncomfortable coarse linen clothes on his body for a long time.

Secondly, we are also looking for opportunities to expand our Qi points. After all, villages and towns are too small and have limited potential.

While I was thinking, a Taoist priest came across from me.

He was about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, wearing a green Taoist robe, black cloud boots, and a pair of bright eyes. When he saw Aaron, he was surprised and suspicious.

Aaron didn’t bother to pay attention to him, just merged into the crowd and disappeared…

The

Taoist priest looked back a few more times, trying to find Aaron’s back, but how could he find it?

At this time, he sighed sadly and continued walking.

Not long after, we came to a Taoist temple called the ‘Five Clouds Temple’.

“Uncle Cangsong is here.”

A Taoist boy who was sweeping saw this man and saluted quickly: “Master is waiting in the back room…”

“Yes.”

Cangsong nodded slightly, and walked to the backyard in a familiar way, and entered A wing room.

Not long after, a Taoist boy wearing a boy bun came in and offered fragrant tea.

After a while, another Taoist priest walked in. His hair was gray, but his face was as rosy as a baby, and he looked very good.

He is the master of the local Wuyun Temple – Cangyun Taoist.

At this time, Taoist Cangyun smiled: “Junior brother, you are late…”

“Something happened on the way…” Taoist Cangsong saw that the boy had closed the door, so he relaxed a little while talking, and sat on his chair: “I just met a young man. Judging from his appearance, he is destined to rebel against the king…”

Taoist Cangyun’s expression became more serious. He knew that this junior brother had obtained the true transmission of the sect’s fortune-telling, and his fortune-telling was extremely effective. But he still couldn’t help but ask: “Really?”

“Senior brother, don’t you still believe in my tricks?”

Cangsong Taoist was minding his own refreshments and said leisurely: “Rebeling the king’s order… actually doesn’t mean anything. Dasong has a territory of thousands of miles and a population of tens of millions. There will always be a few people born every year… If the imperial destiny is still there and the real dragon is suppressing it, the dragons and pythons will have to hibernate… What if they rebel against the king’s destiny and are rejected by the imperial court because of their destiny? As a result, life will be full of misfortunes. If you are not careful, your family will be destroyed, your body will be destroyed, and your clan will be destroyed…Only in times of trouble, you may be able to ride on the wind and make a difference…But rebelling against the king means rebelling against the king, and his face has dark lines. It’s too heavy, and you will have to be the pioneer of the true king… In the future, if you see the opportunity early, you can join the true dragon, and maybe you can become a general or a prince… If your personality is more unruly, I am afraid that you will be punished by the Nine Clans…”

Master Cangyun listened with rapt attention, and couldn’t help but sigh: “From my junior brother’s point of view, is this rebellion against the king fulfilled at the right time?”

These words were a bit serious, and even sounded like a treacherous traitor.

However, people outside the country don’t value these very much.

Cangsong’s expression became solemn: “From my point of view… I’m afraid that I can cope with it. Dasong Dynasty has been in power for more than two hundred years, and the country’s situation has been declining. Of course… if the leader works hard, he may not be able to save dozens of years.” He is still young, but this emperor favors treacherous ministers, seeks immortality, and takes golden elixirs… It’s really hard to describe in words! “

“So… is it really time for our ‘Five Heavens Sect’ to send you to walk in troubled times again? In the world, I’m afraid I also want to find a hidden dragon to invest in, right?”

Taoist Cangyun sighed: “The world is in chaos, and the dragons are rising together, what’s more, the only true dragon is the one who will die! If Fulongting fails, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses…”

“But it’s impossible to do otherwise. We practitioners, regardless of Buddhism, are greatly restricted by the dragon’s energy. Not all Brahma sects say – if you don’t obey the Lord of the country, you will have nothing. Is it the same for my Taoist sect…” Cangsong Taoist gasped: “How can I open the gate if I don’t have the support of the imperial court? There are many lessons learned in history… Not to mention taking the true dragon’s energy, it will greatly increase my fortune. From a secular perspective, if we are not conferred by the imperial court, any prefect or county magistrate can label us as monsters and confiscate our property and land. If it were you, how could you bear it?”

Taoist Cang Yun’s face twitched.

He also knew that he was able to run such a large business in Jiangzhou Prefecture not only because of his superb Taoism, but also because he had the support of the Wuxiao Sect behind him!

Otherwise, those officials, big and small, would sooner or later swallow him whole.

As soon as I thought about this, I couldn’t help but be more concerned about the fight for the dragon: “Junior brother…have you found it?”

After Cangsong Taoist became impassioned, he became a little discouraged: “Oh…my physiognomy and spiritual eyes are all the same. Small skills… are actually of no use. Although I can read people’s faces and determine misfortunes, it is still a bit inaccurate to find hidden dragons… Dragons can be big or small, they can ascend or disappear, and they can swallow clouds and spit out mist when they are big. , if it is small, it will hide its form, if it rises, it will soar in the universe, if it is hidden, it will lurk in the waves… How can it be found with just the skill of fortune-telling? There is no difference at all, and when the opponent’s flying dragon is in the sky, everyone in the world knows that it is Allah, so what’s the use?”

In fact, Cangsong Taoist still has doubts in his heart.

Those who are good at observing Qi numbers are often easily confused by Qi numbers. What they see may not be true. If this brings the master into a situation of eternal disaster, it will be difficult to atone for his sins even if he is killed!

Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but think of a hidden dragon I found some time ago.

The so-called hidden dragon, although it has no abnormal appearance, there must be hidden Qi around it!

What is qi number? That’s power!

You have land, people, fame and courage, these are all your luck!

When times are turbulent, if you call for a hundred responses and gather the power of everyone, you can accomplish great things!

Taoist Cangsong has already mastered the art of fortune-telling in his sect to the top. He has reached a state of perfection where he no longer sticks to his personal appearance, and only then can he find some clues.

When he was about to go back, he reported it to the door and sent someone to make contact first.

But you can’t tell senior brother Cangyun these things.

Although the other party is also of the Cang generation, but he was let out to preside over the Taoist temple, and he was vaguely excluded from the core.

No matter how good the relationship between the two is, this matter, which is a matter of life and death for the master, must not be leaked!

Old Taoist Cangyun didn’t know what was going on in his junior brother’s heart. He just sighed: “Taoist skills, Taoist methods…sigh…”

He also knew the shortcomings of his skills, which were defeated by those with official aura, dragon aura, or even great luck!

For example, Cangsong, who is just good at looking at the superficial appearance of the face, but if you force yourself to go deep inside and check other people’s foundations, there will be backlash immediately!

Forcibly checking the foundation of a fifth-grade official may cause him to vomit three liters of blood and cause him to become seriously ill.

And looking at the basics of Qianlong may kill you!

If you use Taoism on officials, there will be backlash. If you directly harm them, the backlash will be even greater! Even Daoist disciples can’t bear it!

Therefore, the first taboo of Taoist cultivators is that they must never kill officials, especially those with great power!

On the contrary, people in the martial arts world behaved unscrupulously and killed officials.

But when a Taoist kills an official, even if he uses martial arts to kill him, as long as he has cultivation skills, he will still be attacked!

Otherwise, if Taoism reaches the sky and is not afraid of dragon energy… this world has long turned into the world of immortal cultivation that Aaron experienced before, with sects divided into one party and the emperor canonized. How could it be like this?

However, Taoism cannot directly interfere with Qi, but it can interfere subtly.

For example, the Feng Shui method that Taoists are most good at can be used to dig into the dragon’s cave and bury the bones of the ancestors, which can silently protect the descendants, increase their energy, and serve as capital for starting a business!

Of course, this is just the first pot of gold, which is equivalent to venture capital. In fact, most of them fail.

However, as long as there is one success, it will be a huge profit!

In addition, there is substantial support. For example, Taoist temples gather together and give money to people. This is also support, and it is even more direct and effective!

All in all, when troubled times begin to emerge, people with lofty ideals in Buddhism and Taoism all over the world are silently looking for enlightened masters and investing in them.

In the world of spiritual practice, there is a special term, that is – fighting for the dragon!

In the end, the final true dragon, the future founding emperor, will be decided, and the winner takes all!

Cangsong rolled his eyes and talked about other Taoist matters: “But…it’s hard to say in these troubled times…I heard that the ‘Chongming Tao’ that is most favored by the emperor, hehe, has been integrated with the destiny of the court. It cannot be The division will never see the imperial court overthrow and lead to the decline of the Taoist order. I am trying my best to keep the dragon spirit alive…”

“This… the world is in decline. How can one person restore it?” Taoist Cangyun glared. Big eyes.

“Who knows… The strong man has his arm cut off, the gecko has his tail cut off, and they are just looking for another place to raise dragons. Who knows, there will be a move south…” Taoist Cangsong said the last word, his voice as low as a mosquito.

“Is this possible?” Cangyun Laodao’s face was completely covered with blood, and he was extremely pale.

“Destiny… is unpredictable!” Cangsong Taoist also sighed: “Chongming Taoism has been canonized by the imperial court, and it is very popular. There are five real people alive, and there is even a great master… Its foundation is extremely profound, and it has treasures. Is it possible that there is really an unpredictable way to suppress Qi and save destiny? “

“In addition, there are sects behind the rise of dragons in every government in the world… Some people have even found the Hu people!”

“I bet! , In the next ten years, the world will undergo great changes! “

‘At that time, it will also be the time for our Qianlong to make trouble…” Taoist Cangsong added in his heart: “It’s a pity that the person who rebelled against the king’s order left today, otherwise it would have been okay. Use him to clear the way for Qianlong, and even deflect a lot of backlash…

“

Master Tao, are you satisfied with this outfit?”

At the same time, in a clothing store.

Aaron was changing his robes and looking around, followed by a young man with a lotus tongue.

People in Dasong are very Taoist, and even ordinary wealthy people like to buy a few sets of Taoist robes to wear for daily conversations, so there are many ready-made clothes in the shops.

Aaron didn’t want to bother, so he chose the ready-made clothes to try on.

At this time, he was wearing a Taoist robe mainly in black and white, with climbing boots on his feet, a yellow wooden Taoist crown on his head, a silver-rimmed crane cloak on his coat, and a Yin-Yang Tai Chi pattern on his back.

Under the clothes, Fang La’s originally not ugly face seemed to have become three points more handsome out of thin air.

The looks from the passing girls from time to time can prove everything.

“Not bad, not bad…”

Aaron was quite satisfied: “Like this, here are two more sets for me to wear!”

“Okay.” The clerk’s eyes lit up and he smiled: “This Taoist robe is sold in our store. Five guan of money, three sets of fifteen guan…”

Fifteen guan, that is, fifteen taels of silver, is really not cheap.

To replace it with the previous Fang La, I might have to sell my own land.

But with several gifts from Gu Juren, Aaron was still well off.

Although I knew I could negotiate the price, I was too lazy to make any noise. I paid the full price directly, carried a package on my back, and walked out of the clothing store as the waiter said goodbye.

Pedestrians on the road saw a handsome Taoist priest walking high-spirited and graceful, and they couldn’t help but pay attention.

‘Well… Now that we have these clothes, the next step is to investigate the faith ecology of Fucheng, and then decide whether to pretend to be gods and ghosts…’

‘Uh… I feel that the impact of jujube is not enough, and I have to find a living sign…’

Ya Lun rolled his eyes and had an idea.
