Jialan Sect...
In the Jinchengfang residence, Li Ang was reading the local county annals of the former Sui Dynasty, thoughtfully.
The Jialan Sect, like the Jing Nian Sect to which the monk Shi Xing belongs, both have a Zen background.
The difference is that Jing Nian Sect is the face of Zen Buddhism and often travels in and out of the capital and Luoyang to give lectures to emperors.
The Jialan Sect is more inclined to take the bottom route.
Their main business is treating diseases and lending money.
In the former Sui Dynasty, Zen temples and Taoist temples had always been an integral part of the folk medical system. Monks and Taoists who had retired from work had a lot of free time. In addition to studying spiritual classics, they would occasionally study Qihuang medical skills.
Over time, some monks and Taoists became famous for their medical skills, attracting people from around them to visit them and seek medical advice.
Beitian Hospital was founded by Buddhists. The word Beitian at the beginning is also a Buddhist word, which means poverty and hardship.
The medical skills of the Jialan Sect are quite superb. In local county annals, celebrity poems and other materials, they are described as being so superb that they resemble flesh and bones of the living dead. They are as famous as Lihuagu, another sect.
Moreover, they do not set any thresholds. Regardless of the patient's faith, age, gender, or even wanted suspects or criminal thieves, as long as they enter the gate of Jialan Sect, they will treat them.
"There is only one rule, the patient must pay one-third of all property as medical expenses."
Li Ang looked at the information and raised his eyebrows lightly.
How good the Jialan Sect's medical skills are, how strong their obsession with money is.
For ordinary people who don't have much money, handing over one-third of their property is nothing. At most, they can just sell their houses and cattle.
The wealthy merchant families were in dire straits. Counting all their property including land, houses, and company shares, taking away one third at a time was enough to make them vomit blood.
Many tycoons are trying to delay defaulting on debts or to save the country by "dividing" their property to relatives and friends a year or several years in advance.
To no avail,
The Jialan Sect will take back their property in a way that they think is reasonable, and for this purpose they will not hesitate to start a war among the monks with other aristocratic families and sects.
In this way, the Jialan Sect quickly accumulated huge wealth, and they used this wealth to set up banks and lend money to any farmers, businessmen, sects, and even countries in need.
Tianzhu, Nanzhao, Zhou State, Jing State, etc. have all borrowed money from Jialan Sect.
So much so that people in the former Sui Dynasty joked that the richest person in the world was not the Sui Emperor or the Master of Haotian, but the bald monk of Lingtai Mountain.
However, an ordinary man is not guilty and is guilty of possessing a jade, let alone such a huge wealth.
The last abbot of Jialan Sect saw the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty and felt deeply that troubled times were coming. He gradually closed down the bank business, dispersed some of the money, led a few disciples to hide in the mountains, and established a new mountain gate.
Later, the Sui Dynasty fell and war broke out. Countless monks and warlords fought in the Central Plains. The original mountain gate of Jialan Sect was destroyed immediately, and all the wealth was plundered.
Other monks from other sects dug deep into the ground but could not find the secret treasure of the Jialan Sect that was said to be so rich that it could rival other countries.
It wasn't until a hundred years ago that the Academy found the dilapidated ruins of the Jialan Sect's hidden mountain gate deep in the mountains and forests.
The place was in a mess, and it had obviously gone through a great war, and there was no trace of the secret treasure either.
After Xuegong announced the news, many people in the world sneered, thinking that Xuegong and Yu State had monopolized the wealth.
Others believe that this is a tomb used by the Jialan Sect to confuse the world, and that the real secret treasure is elsewhere.
"The ruins from hundreds of years ago are now used as competition venues,"
Li Ang closed the county journal and asked doubtfully: "What does this mean? Do you want us to help dig for treasures?"
Not likely.
They have been found for a hundred years, and basically everything of value has been unearthed.
Besides... Li Ang doesn't intend to compete seriously.
Bian Chenpei's testimony was a little troublesome. This time, there were 20 people from the Listening to the Rain realm and 20 from the Xunyun realm. In the end, ten people were selected to go to Zhanquan for further training.
Suppose I really win and head to Mount Taihao...'
That place is Haotian's base camp. Who knows what ancient restrictions there are, maybe they can detect Mo Si.
"It's a bit jarring to withdraw from the competition abruptly. Just wait until half a month later to participate in the competition and get a ranking that is neither high nor low." '
Li Ang made up his mind to fish in the water, released his mind power, and put the county annals back on the bookshelf.
Dong dong dong——
There was a knock on the door, and Li Ang habitually called out to come in.
The door opened, and what appeared was not Chai Chai, but Ashinagara.
The Turkic girl blushed and stood outside the door in her pajamas, holding a wooden plate with milk and cut and arranged pears.
"Well?"
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and Ashinagaro walked in unsteadily and carefully placed the wooden plate on the table.
"Uh, thank you."
Li Ang didn't react and subconsciously leaned back and lay on the back of the chair to avoid touching Ashinagara.
Although the Turkic girl is petite, it is early summer, and the pajamas she is wearing are a little thin, which highlights her figure that does not match her age.
When he got close, Li Ang could smell her milky fragrance mixed with the smell of grass, a bit like a newborn lamb.
Hmm... Speaking of which, after soap was introduced to the Turks, the people there seemed to have taken the initiative and added spices to the soap themselves.
I don’t know if they paid themselves any royalties.
"The inner one,"
Ashinagaro stood up, put his hands behind his back, and bit his lips. He was completely different from his usual carefree look. He stood there and said coquettishly: "I..."
They are for sale now, in both the east and west cities.
Li Ang subconsciously complained in his heart, smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Thank you very much for today."
Ashinagaro said a little incoherently: "I read in the newspaper that you beat that Bian Chenpei so hard today that his head was swollen like a pig's head.
In the future, if Taihaoshan asks about your crime, the palace cannot protect you, so you can secretly come to Tujue to find me. that's all. "
Bian Chenpei is just an ordinary disciple. It is not yet known whether his father will be able to become a cardinal judge. Even if he does, he may not be able to do anything to the academy. If the Academy cannot protect Li Ang, then the Turks will certainly not be able to protect him either.
Li Ang laughed dumbly, understanding Ashinagara's good intentions, and nodded with a smile, "Well, thank you."
"Um."
Ashinaga blushed and nodded, standing there for a few seconds. Seeing that Li Ang didn't respond, he gritted his teeth and came closer.
Bo.
The girl fled the study as if fleeing, leaving Li Ang alone and messy on his seat.
He reached out and touched the corner of his mouth where the touch was still there, feeling a little confused.
Is this a...kiss?
Apart from being naive and playing with Chai Chai face to face when he was young, this must be the first time, right?
Well, having said that, the suturing wounds on Garo's stomach with suture threads are really nice, and they are indeed my work.
"Ah sneeze——"
In the Daming Palace, Princess Li Leling of Guanghua, who was about to sleep, suddenly sneezed.
The maid on the side was startled and asked quickly: "Did the princess catch a cold?"
"No, I just feel..."
Li Leling frowned slightly, and while lying down, she asked uncertainly: "Who took my things?"
