Lingchi said.
It is located on the southwest border of Daqian, and further to the southwest, it is adjacent to a country called Dai Viet.
There are many forest lakes here, so it is named Lingchi Road.
On the official road, two Taoist priests, one big and one small, were walking leisurely. The Taoist priest was humming a tune, leaning forward as he walked, looking arrogant. The little Taoist priest was carrying a flag and bowed his head, seeming a little dissatisfied.
"Master, why don't you listen to that family? Let's stay and be living gods eating delicious food and drink spicy food every day. Wouldn't we be happy?"
The Taoist priest glanced back at the little Taoist priest, shook his head and said:
"Happiness? Happiness cannot be cultivated. Our sect relies on people's divination. It's easy for you to stay, but if you are trapped in a place, who can you tell people's divination?"
"Then we can't do divination anywhere? We just stay in Hengyang City. People in such a big city believe in us. As long as we build a good reputation, we can tell people every day. Master, this is also practice." The little Taoist argued hard.
The Taoist priest twitched his lips, then turned around and gave him a slap on the head, which made the little Taoist priest hold his head in his hands.
"Sophistry! Lazy! How can we practitioners be so lazy? If you don't travel thousands of miles and meet all kinds of people, how can you maintain your original intention? Money is important and is something we cultivate, but you are trapped in a city. The effect is It will only get weaker and weaker. Only by constantly walking and meeting more people can we divine different predictions."
The Taoist priest said: "This is the essence of my Zixia Palace."
"Liar."
The little Taoist priest covered his head, tilted his head, and said: "Master uncles are not like this. Master Huang is now a famous master. His calligraphy and painting are hard to come by. Many rich people are chasing him. Master Wen heard that he was like this." He is now a magistrate, and he is a high-ranking official."
"That's different."
The Taoist priest showed a hint of embarrassment, "Our Zixia Palace is different."
"Aren't they both Zixia Palace? What's the difference? Well, even if there is a difference, the last time I saw Master Dou, he also told people's fortunes. Now he is very famous and has a Taoist temple. We also tell fortunes, but Why do you still have to travel all over the world?" The little Taoist priest said unconvinced.
"It's not fortune-telling! It's not fortune-telling! We are doing divination! That Dou Shui uses numerology. He is a real fortune-teller, but we are not!"
The Taoist priest glared at him angrily, "Anyway, this is what my sect is like. If you don't accept it, go find your uncle!"
"Hey, how can I, master? I'm just complaining. Besides, who will take care of you after I leave?" The little Taoist priest smiled slyly.
"Huh, your master, I am a sixth-level Tongyou, and I can live for five hundred years, and you will take care of me until I grow old? If you continue to have this idea of making money by sitting on the ground, maybe I will send you away!" The Taoist priest snorted coldly.
"Master is great, Master is great." The little Taoist priest walked over and kept smiling in a flattering manner.
"You."
The Taoist priest shook his head and said: "What you said is not suitable for our sect. If you think your Uncle Wen should be a high official, that's just because his sect must be a high official. When it comes to being an official, I think back then, I was the same There is a chance to become an official."
"Master, you are right." The little Taoist priest nodded, but his eyes were filled with disbelief.
This was said more than once.
And this situation has happened more than once.
Normally, he would have given up and didn't want to talk anymore, but today he felt more energetic, "Don't believe it, where Wen Tian came back, it was just the Dongwu Guard."
The little Taoist priest blinked and said, "Master, you are talking about one of the four guards. That is not 'just'. They are all heaven-like figures, much more powerful than the other guards."
"No matter how powerful the guards are, they can't compare to the Forbidden Army. I joined the Forbidden Army back then. Do you know about the Forbidden Army?" said the Taoist Priest.
"Master, the imperial army does not accept Qi refiners." The little Taoist priest said weakly.
"I was recruiting! Don't believe it. You will have the opportunity to meet other uncles later. Just ask and you will know. I, General Li, have joined the Huben Army!"
The person who hangs around in Daqian and gives people fortune telling is Li Jiangzhi of Zixia Palace.
Thirty years ago, he was tricked into Da Qian's army by Wen Tianfu. Following Da Qian's expedition against Dayan and Ji, he relied on his ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and successfully sent his troops to the most dangerous places!
Because of his ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, he was directly reported to the Forbidden Army and joined the most ferocious Tiger Army.
The Huben Army does not need him to predict good fortune, as long as he sees the bad luck, the more bad luck, the better, and the more bad luck is, the more worth destroying.
"Disciple, my master's skill is to seek good fortune and avoid evil. It is an indispensable choice to achieve great achievements. The tiger army relied on my method to quickly conquer this territory. Otherwise, it would not be possible now!!" Li Jiangzhi said proudly.
"Master, it's over." The little Taoist priest looked disbelieving.
Li Jiangzhi: "..."
"Okay, anyway, there will definitely be a delay of a few months. In short, your master and I have made meritorious services at that time and were promoted to 100 households. If you had stayed at that time, it would be nothing to transform the prefecture into a prefecture according to the current situation. Give me three In ten years, I can be the governor!"
That's a high-ranking official!
Zheng'erbajing manages the existence of a state.
"Master, this is too much. There are only six states in the world. You can become one of the six at once. Doesn't that mean you can meet the emperor?"
The little Taoist priest curled his lips and said: "What a noble person that is. We are just bad Taoists. We just live a little longer, so there is no comparison."
"Hmph, it's not like I've never seen Song Yin before," Li Jiangzhi said.
"Hush, master. Don't talk nonsense. The emperor's name is taboo, we can't call it this." The little Taoist priest quickly put his sleeves on Li Jiangzhi's face and called him.
"Okay, okay, just don't mention it." Li Jiangzhi waved away his disciple's sleeves, but felt absurd in his heart for no reason.
In the past thirty years, the status of this cultivator cannot be said to have plummeted, but it is because no one takes it seriously.
Nowadays, officials are better than cultivators. It doesn't matter if they live long and have strength. Although they are also popular, compared with the positions of governors and prefects, cultivators are not as popular as meat and potatoes.
Because the methods don’t match
He was promoted to a hundred households at that time, but later he still left the Daqian military system and wandered around because his method was not good.
The cultivation of the Dharma is the most important thing. It’s not that he doesn’t want glory, wealth, and a high position. But if he stays, he can just be an official and live happily for hundreds of years. As long as he doesn’t violate the rules of Daqian, he really You can enjoy it well.
But after thinking about it, cultivation is still important.
That's why he traveled around and divined people. Now, thirty years later, he finally entered Tongyou and reached the sixth level.
Like those who can practice in the government, Wen Tianfu can do it, but he can't. For his method, he has to charge people with divination and collect money.
Including Huang Yanzhi and Dou Shui, they also left the Daqian military system and went to pursue their own lives. When they get together every once in a while, it can be regarded as a Zixia Palace party.
And this apprentice was accepted ten years ago
