Xu Zhichang stood up and walked outside the house, where he saw a Taoist boy leading a tall, middle-aged Taoist priest with a somewhat light and airy temperament.
"I wonder where friends come from?"
"Pindao came from Shu and just arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo today."
Facing Xu Zhichang, a well-known Taoist priest with a Taoist official position, the middle-aged Taoist priest began to introduce himself without any timidity.
"I have had a predestined relationship with immortality since I was a child. When I was young, I searched all over Buddhist temples to find the true solution. However, I had no chance of seeing this Buddhist teaching from the West."
"The poor Taoist went into the mountains with his hair loose to find the true solution. He traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers until he reached the land of Shu, where he met the famous teacher Zhao Sheng.
I worshiped the Immortal Master Zhao Sheng at the gate, followed him to practice Taoism, and finally obtained the true solution..."
Xu Zhichang stroked his beard silently and watched the other party bragging.
As the person responsible for introducing Taoist talents to officials, he received countless self-recommended Taoist priests every year.
Among them, there are both those who are truly capable and those who are mediocre, and naturally there are also those who are particularly capable of bragging.
As an excellent Taoist interviewer, Xu Zhichang maintained his calm expression so that the other party could not guess what he was thinking.
Continue to examine the other person and see if the person in front of you continues. If he is a person with real ability, he will naturally not feel guilty, but if he is not really capable, his flaws will naturally be revealed soon.
This Taoist Master Lin believed that he had obtained the true biography of Zhao Sheng and heard that the emperor today admired Taoism.
Therefore, before Master Zhao Shengyu transformed into heaven, he saw that Taoist Master Lin's qualifications were so good, and decided to reveal his true feelings.
He is Zhao Shengye, a disciple of the Han Celestial Master, and their lineage specializes in protecting the imperial court.
He decided to follow the orders of his master Zhao Sheng and come to find the Emperor of the Song Dynasty in order to promote Taoism and protect Zuo of the Song Dynasty.
Looking at this Taoist Master Lin who was talking so eloquently that foam came out of the corners of his mouth, he still had some unfinished thoughts.
Xu Zhichang shook the whisk in his hand and said unhurriedly.
"Since Taoist Master Lin has recognized the true biography of Taoist Zhao Sheng, I dare to ask what is the true biography and what is so magical about it that it is worthy of the poor Taoist to recommend Taoist Lin to the emperor?"
After hearing what Xu Zhichang said, Taoist Lin in front of him showed a confident smile.
"Pindao joined the disciples of Immortal Zhao Sheng. Master Zhao Shengxian taught him carefully. Seeing that Pindao was quite predestined, he taught him the Five Thunder Jade Book."
""Five Thunder Jade Book"?" Xu Zhichang was immediately confused. The veteran had never heard of this book.
#####
But seeing that Taoist Master Lin continued to sway a little, ah no... he continued to be serious and said with a serious expression.
"The Immortal Master has said that the "Five Thunder Jade Book" should be followed carefully and should not be divulged lightly. However, the poor Taoist also obtained this immortal book "The Five Thunder Jade Book".
After practicing hard, I finally succeeded. When Pindao used the Five Thunder Method for the first time that day, Immortal Master Zhao Sheng took advantage of the clouds and ordered Pindao to serve as the Thunder Judge of the Shenxiao Cult..."
"Hey, hey, hey..." Before Taoist Lin finished speaking, he saw Xu Zhichang turning away with a dark face. He was about to step forward, but was stopped by the little Taoist boy who raised his hand.
"What does Zuo Daolu mean by this? Could it be that he thinks the poor Taoist is making nonsense?"
Taoist Master Lin was very angry and asked the little Taoist boy in front of him.
Fortunately, at this time, a young Taoist walked quickly and saluted Taoist Master Lin.
"Director Lin, my master is not feeling well and has gone to rest. Please ask Director Lin to come back first."
"Why, Zuo Daolu doesn't believe in Pindao's Five Thunder Methods?"
The young Taoist did not answer, was not anxious or impatient, and persuaded Taoist Lin with a smile.
In the end, he was no longer troubled by Taoist Priest Lin, so he just cryptically retorted.
If you are really that awesome, you would have released thunder outside the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace for everyone to hear. If you don't have the ability, then don't do it and stay where you are.
Don't think about getting angry and angry and attacking the official religious institutions of the Song Dynasty such as Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, otherwise you will be waiting to go to jail.
This made Taoist Lin very angry, and he could only stamp his feet angrily and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I will definitely ask Xu Zhichang to come out of the gate to greet me."
"If Taoist Master Lin can learn the Five Thunder Dharma in the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, the master will naturally welcome the immortal master into the palace to give a lecture..."
Lin Daochang groaned with a dark face. The whisk in his hand, which was obviously a little hairy, was thrown too hard because of his shame and anger.
A strand of gray and white hair was thrown out and stuck to his head. Matched with his black hair, it looked even more interesting.
Taoist priest Lin angrily walked towards the palace gate and left the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
He turned around and glanced at the largest and most luxurious Taoist temple in the Song Dynasty.
Daochang Lin held the fly whisk too hard with his big hand and heard a crisp, thin sound.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the bamboo pole of his hairy whisk was cracked.
Feeling so distressed, Daoist Lin couldn't help but sigh, and he deliberately wanted to throw away this whisk, which was obviously shedding seriously, and even the shaft was cracked.
But I feel it is a pity, after all, this thing is not cheap, at least it can continue to make do.
"You just wait until Master Tao lets you know what the Five Thunder Method is. Then, see if you still dare to treat Master Tao like this."
Taoist Lin cursed and walked towards the distance. Not far away, he saw a glutinous rice stall. He pursed his lips, took out a few iron coins and walked over.
As a result, the owner of the mash stall was so disgusted that he returned the iron money to him. This stuff was not accepted in Bianliang, Tokyo.
In desperation, Taoist Lin could only take out the copper plate and exchange it for a bowl of fermented glutinous rice. After taking a few big gulps, he finally regained some energy.
Maybe, I should get some money first, no, no, no, I should get some materials to cast the Five Thunder Technique first, so that Yu Qing Zhao Ying Palace can know his ability.
At that time, I can live in the Zhaoying Palace of Yuqing, eat well, and maybe have a chance to meet the superstitious Taoist official of the Song Dynasty.
At that time, hehehe... With his sharp tongue and his Five Thunder Techniques, the other party will not be able to believe in his Taoism.
The more Taoist Lin thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he walked with more energy. However, this was his first time in Bianliang, Tokyo, and he had to ask first where he could purchase saltpeter and sulfur.

"Hey, this fighting style of Landlord is indeed interesting, but why is it called Landlord? This Cai always thinks it is too tacky, why not call it another name?"
"Then what do you mean? Or who do you want to fight?"
Cai Laoliu opened his mouth, fighting the prime minister? No, no, no, after all, he is his biological father, no matter how disobedient he is, he cannot go too far.
Fighting against the emperor? Forget it, there's no need to involve your own head in playing cards.
He glanced at the senior brother and Tong Zhisheng who were concentrating on the game in front of him. Forget it, there is no need to discuss these overly sensitive topics with these two vulgar people. Playing cards is more interesting...
At this moment, the fleet has followed the canal and arrived at Shangqiu, which was Nanjing in the Song Dynasty. It is only two days' journey from Bianliang, Tokyo.
Outside the fleet, the elite Thousand Cavalry Forbidden Army commanded by Liu Qi accompanied them...
