Chapter 224: Existence Is Reasonable
Empress Dowager Dou became angrier the more she heard it, "Since you can't kill her, then drive her out of Pingcheng immediately! No, drive her out of Wei! Such people who can use sorcery and evil methods must not be left behind!"

This time there is no need for Tuoba Tao to speak, Shu Yun said, "That celestial girl has a bad temper. I'm afraid I'll annoy her..."

In the past, if you were unhappy, you would demolish the house, but now if you are not happy, you will be cursed. If you want to kill someone and recruit a ghost to do it, you will ask if you are afraid?
Empress Dowager Dou was angry, "I can't kill if I kill, and I can't chase after you. Could it be that she has been left behind by Dawei?"

Shuyun replied, "When I went to see the goddess today, she said that she would only stay until the middle of June. I hope everything will be safe and sound after that."

Empress Dowager Dou frowned, "What does it mean to be safe and sound? She was the one who provoked the trouble first! In the middle of June, there are only a few days left... In that case, let her meditate at the residence and don't go out again."

She turned her head to Tuoba Tao again and said, "Your Majesty should make an order to appease Prince Anding's residence. King Anding died of illness, he is the son of the late emperor, and he should be buried generously."

Tuoba Tao nodded, the face of the royal family is the most important thing, no matter how others guess, if the royal family said that King Anding died of illness, then he died of illness.

"The thieves and nuns were captured in the Baiyi nunnery, the monks were fighting on the wooden altar, the twenty-one daughters Zhaoxue, and the prince without an heir was executed."

I don't know who made up the ballad, and soon it was sung by word of mouth among the children in Pingcheng.

This time, the eminent monks of many temples in Pingcheng, when faced with the matter of Baiyi Nunnery, not only did not distinguish between right and wrong, but also went to Prince Anding's Mansion to help recite scriptures.

It’s all right to go to chant scriptures, so many people still lost in chant, so Tuoba Mi finally died without knowing why.

Tan Yaoyu once said that she is a cultivator of immortals, so the common people thought that she should be of the Taoist lineage.

As a result, many of those who originally believed in Buddhism felt that Taoism was more effective.The poor people worship Buddha in order to seek the protection of Buddha.

Since the Buddha can't bless you, let's worship Taishang Laojun instead.

Although there are thirteen Buddhist temples in Keping City, there is not a single Taoist temple.As a result, even if the common people want to burn Laojun's incense, they have nowhere to go.

Then, not too soon or too late, Wei Huang Tuoba Tao ordered at this time to summon Kou Qianzhi, the new master of the Heavenly Master Way.

Unlike Tan Yaoyu who "has become a monk halfway through", Kou Qianzhi has been famous all over the world a long time ago.Even in the northern land where Buddhism is advocated, there are many followers of him.

This time, I learned that Kou Qianzhi was invited by Cui Hao to come to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the "jiujiu" who were set up in the north, brought their congregation and came to Pingcheng from all over the place, hoping to have the opportunity to get Kou Qianzhi's education and guidance .

The congregants who believe in the Tao of Heavenly Master are very excited.Because Wei Huang not only met Kou Qianzhi in person, but also had a good chat with him, and even kept Kou Qianzhi in the palace to ask for advice for three days.

Three days later, Tuoba Tao ordered to rebuild the Taoist temple of Tianshidao on the ruined site of Baiyi nunnery.Kou Qianzhi is the master of the temple, offering sacrifices to the Supreme Lord, and setting up the Hall of Sanqing and the Hall of Three Emperors.

Since Kou Qianzhi was invited by Cui Hao, he temporarily lived in Cui's house after leaving the palace.Kou Qianzhi and Yun Daosheng were arranged to live in the small courtyard where Yao Yu and the others lived.

Cui Hao personally led the way for Kou Qianzhi and the others, "This place is extremely secluded, and the celestial master can rest in peace."

Kou Qianzhi thanked him, "It's time to thank Situ Cui."

The two entered the courtyard, Kou Qianzhi looked around and smiled, "The Cui family really has a profound heritage, even a small courtyard is so elegantly arranged."

Cui Hao smiled and pointed to the chessboard that had been set up on the stone table in the courtyard and said, "I haven't seen Tianshi for a few years, will Tianshi still be willing to show his face to play a game with Cui?"

Kou Qianzhi likes to play chess very much. Seeing Cui Hao prepare the chessboard so carefully, he couldn't help but nodded with a smile, "Pindao hasn't met an opponent as good as Cui Situ for many years."

The two sat on the left and right, and there was Yun Daosheng, so they didn't need other servants to serve them.The two of them didn't talk much, they just concentrated on playing chess.

The two played for an entire hour in the first game, and Cui Hao lost by two players.

Cui Hao shook his head and said with a smile, "Sure enough, Cui is watching the sky from a well. I didn't expect the Celestial Master's chess skills to improve a lot."

Cui Hao knew that in this game, although he only lost two pieces on the surface, in fact, it was Kou Qianzhi who deliberately let him down.

Yun Daosheng served a cup of tea for the two at the right time, and they drank tea and took a rest for a while.

When Tuoba Tao talked with Kou Qianzhi, Cui Hao also accompanied him.When Tuoba Tao asked Kou Qianzhi whether the way of heavenly masters could replace the status of Buddhism today, Kou Qianzhi directly replied, no, and it doesn't have to.

Cui Hao didn't understand why Kou Qianzhi persuaded His Majesty to tolerate Buddhism, "The Heavenly Master is so talented, why doesn't he want to go further? If Buddhism can be eliminated from the north, the Taoism of the Heavenly Master will become the largest religion in the Central Plains."

Kou Qianzhi replied with a smile, "All things are born together. If there is an effect, there must be a cause. If there is a cause, there must be a reason. Buddhism is so popular in the north, it must be because it is in line with the law of heaven. It is like a fruit tree , Buddhism is the fruit that grows on the tree, even if Emperor Wei asked people to pick off all the fruit, as long as the fruit tree is still alive, it will still bear new fruit in the next year.”

Kou Qianzhi picked up a peach from the desk and handed it to Cui Hao, "Poverty knows that Cui Situ wholeheartedly wants to promote Taoism in the Northland. It's just that some things should not be too forceful, and you need to know that things will be reversed."

Cui Hao stared blankly at the peaches that Kou Qianzhi handed over, and recalled in his mind the scene when Tan Yaoyu said, "Master Situ, eat quickly, the two of them are waiting for peach kernels".

Cui Hao lost his mind for a moment, shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

He took the peach from Kou Qianzhi's hand, "The Heavenly Master is right, this fruit is just the appearance of the tree, if you want to get rid of Buddhism, you still need to find the root of the tree."

But Kou Qianzhi suddenly said, "The celestial girl who used to live in this courtyard may be able to help Cui Situ."

Cui Hao was startled, "How does the Celestial Master know that she lived here... Wait, you mean that Tan Yaoyu can eliminate Buddhism?"

Kou Qianzhi shook his head, "It's not to eliminate Buddhism, but to promote Taoism. She has only been in Pingcheng for a few months, and she has attracted the people of Pingcheng to start admiring Taoism. The reason why Cui Situ persuaded His Majesty to summon the poor Taoist at this time is not because he hopes to take advantage of this situation. Dongfeng?"

Cui Hao was a little embarrassed, he really took advantage of Tan Yaoyu.

Kou Qianzhi actually arrived in Pingcheng half a month ago, but at that time the matter of Baiyi'an was not over yet, so Cui Hao concealed the fact of Kou Qianzhi's arrival.

He insisted on waiting until Tan Yaoyu became a blockbuster, and then took advantage of the situation and pushed Kou Qianzhi in front of His Majesty.

Kou Qianzhi smiled to smooth things over for Cui Hao, "Don't worry about Cui Situ. The poor don't mind taking advantage of the situation like this. From ancient times to the present, all successful people have walked on the road paved by the predecessors. It's just whether Cui Situ I thought about it, she can still have such an influence in Pingcheng, if she is allowed to walk in the north and spread Taoism, I believe it will not take long for the people to return."

Cui Hao hesitated, "You mean to persuade His Majesty to let Tan Yaoyu go?"

Kou Qianzhi smiled but did not answer.

Note: Tianshi Dao is the same as Wu Dou Mi Dao, both belong to the branch of Taoism.

　Thanks to Weiwei Dad for the reward.

　　Tianshi Dao is the original Wu Dou Mi Dao.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was founded by Zhang Daoling in Heming Mountain, Sichuan.During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Kou Qianzhi, a Taoist priest in Songshan Mountain, claimed to be ordered by the Supreme Lord to "innovate" the Tao of Five Dou of Rice, clean up the Zhang Tianshi faction of Taoism, and establish a new Tao of Tianshi.

　　After Kou Qianzhi's reform of Tianshi Dao, his lineage was called Bei Tianshi Dao or Xin Tianshi Dao.In addition, Lu Xiujing's lineage, who inherited Ge Hong's thoughts, is known as Nantian Shidao.
