The strategy of conquering the national division begins with drawing Thangka

Chapter 9
Bai Zeqing just followed the Taoist priest away.

This Taoist priest has a straight posture, walks with wind, and there is always a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus lingering around his body-if one ignores the tattered Taoist robe, the precarious green bamboo hairpin on his head, and the loose long hair, he does have the appearance of a fairy.

Bai Zeqing was thinking wildly, panting after running behind him.Fortunately, he has followed Qi Ge to ride horses and shoot arrows since he was a child, and his body is strong enough, otherwise he might have been left behind by this Taoist priest.

But he never thought, since this Taoist priest wanted to save her, why would he leave her on the road?However, this person just stuck to the limit of her body to maintain the walking speed, and he would not slow down at all. Waiting, it really made Bai Zeqing terribly tired.

After entering Yuanzhou City, Taoist priests walked through the streets without hesitation, as if they were very familiar with the terrain and alleys of Yuanzhou City.But what they choose are streets with relatively few crowds.

Bai Zeqing noticed that although he walked gracefully and at a good speed, he never touched anyone else.Even if someone bumped into him accidentally, he could instantly pick up Bai Zeqing's collar and put it down.

For Bai Zeqing, it was only an instant touch, but she couldn't help but look back, she was already at least ten feet away from that person.

Bai Zeqing was startled, and looked at the Taoist with more complicated eyes.

Along this road, the streets and alleys of Yuanzhou are full of refugees from the three cities of Xisha, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Bai Zeqing passed by those refugees silently, watching the old man shivering in the corner, the child crying in the woman's arms, the woman just stared blankly at the front, and mechanically patted the child's back, unable to give him any help. A mouthful of rice.

At this moment, Bai Zeqing suddenly understood what the master said: When wars break out, the lives of refugees are worthless.Only when Cheng Tang is strong and prosperous enough can this situation be avoided.

Cheng Tang is powerful?Ah!Bai Zeqing withdrew her sympathetic gaze without much nostalgia.The road ahead for her is now as bleak as a boundless night.

And the only glimmer of light she had at this moment came from a down-and-out Taoist priest she had never met before.And this light, as far as she is concerned, may only temporarily illuminate the path of life under her feet, but it cannot illuminate the future.

However, looking at the Taoist priest's flowing figure and the holes fluttering in the wind on the back of the Taoist robe, she fell into deep thought.

I don't know which fairy sect this Taoist priest is from?It looks like, just, kind of - poor!

Speaking of cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism, Bai Zeqing also mentioned it as a joke when listening to his master's history lectures.

Hundreds of years ago, there were as many whimsical people in the world who wanted to inquire about the fairy gate.

The Holy Ancestor Emperor pacified the world. In the year of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Holy Ancestor Emperor devoted himself to regaining the lost land. For more than half a year, he rode horses on the frontier fortresses.

Although the national treasury was not empty in those years, it was difficult to support the annual expeditions.The crown prince and the prime minister racked their brains just to keep the soldiers from starving, and even the officials of the six ministries also racked their brains to find time to govern the Xianmen for military expenses.

As a result, the civil war was initially determined, and the hearts of the people were empty and unstable, and sects of all sizes sprung up like mushrooms after rain.The territory of a county is only ten miles and eight villages. From the east end to the west end, there are as many as twenty immortal gates. For a while, charlatans are running around and rampant in the village.

What Zhang San Li Si is the old Wang next door, if there is no shortage of cubs in the family, they all rush to some sect to ask for immortality, learn some "chest breaking big stones" and other moves, but no one really asks for anything Come on.

Later, even the bandits who robbed houses couldn't help but share a piece of the pie, and listed all the "Heifengzhai" and "White Tiger Gang" as "Qingxinguan" and "Xuantianmen", and then let the youngsters practice "taking out the oil pan". Before robbing the road, he performed tricks such as "swallowing a knife and breathing fire" and screaming, scaring passers-by to give generously.

The Emperor Shengzu returned to Beijing on another expedition. He saw that there were many villages and cities, and the farmland was barren. There were more alchemists than cooks, and more people who chanted sutras than farmers.

If the common people continue to cultivate like this, no matter how big the country he conquers, he will have to win the country and not the country.

He suddenly lost his temper and scolded the prince, prime minister, civil and military officials, and then shouted a decree to arrest all these "immortals", big and small, and send them into the army regardless of whether they are real or not.

Civil and military officials were scared out of their wits by this imperial decree, and they all kowtowed to remonstrate, lest the emperor offend the immortal and ruin the country.

The Emperor Shengzu was also very angry. He cursed and scolded such an imperial decree, and he was a little guilty. After all, Cheng Tang and Jianguo could not do without Tianyusi.

Fortunately, the civil and military officials still had brains, and the Emperor Shengzu took back his life by borrowing the donkey from the slope.After calming down, he hurriedly asked the Heavenly Guardian of the Heavenly Mandate Department to come to discuss.

On the second day, the Tianyu Division set up a "supervision office", which was supervised by the Tianyu Division and implemented by the Ministry of Rites.Non-governmental private schools are strictly prohibited.The fairy gates in the Tang Dynasty are all verified by the Supervision Office, certified by the Tianyu Division, and the emperor issues iron scrolls before they can recruit disciples.

So far, after several years of tossing, checking, and cleaning up, the enthusiasm of the people for cultivating immortals has gradually weakened. In addition, the neighbors are far and near, and I have never heard of anyone who has really cultivated anything famous. Herding sheep, I don't daydream much anymore.

Another hundred years passed, and in the time of the first emperor, the folk spirit of cultivating immortals was still lingering, and the madness had long since passed.The late emperors were virtuous and virtuous, emphasizing literature over martial arts, and believed in resting with the people. They also turned a blind eye to liars in the name of cultivating immortals.

Now that he has ascended the throne, the border has been repeatedly disturbed. No matter how strong the martial arts are, the immortal sect has weakened again. Except for the Tianyu Division who has always stood beside the imperial power, Cheng Tang has no sect of cultivating immortals that is well-known to the common people.

The Master said that this is inevitable in the development of history.People regard food as their heaven, cultivating immortals is a delusion, and eating enough is the present moment.

From the appearance of this Taoist priest, Bai Zeqing is probably one of those people who are still delusional. No wonder he is so poor.

Through a few alleys and a bamboo forest, there is a road up the mountain. The road is suddenly steep and difficult to walk, and Bai Zeqing fell down.

Her leg was already injured, and just now she was trying her best to sprint with the Taoist priest again, she staggered and fell down during the running, and she rolled twice before stopping, at this moment she sat on the ground with bloodstains on the corner of her skirt.

The Taoist stopped, and then frowned. Although he didn't speak, the disgust on his face was obvious.

Bai Zeqing looked up at him and blinked, as if she didn't know what to say.

"If... otherwise, Taoist priest, you go ahead..." They are not familiar with each other at all, and it's not good for them to keep pestering others for the kindness of saving their lives.

"Huh? Qi?" The Taoist priest Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly his eyes became a little deeper, as if he saw something very interesting in her.

Bai Zeqing was a little flustered by this look, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at himself: it was the rough cloth skirt that the maid had put on casually on the day of departure, except that it was a little dirty and there was blood on the skirt, it had no distinctive features.

What are you angry about?I didn't fall on purpose.

"Dao... Daoist..." The appearance of her Taoist priest is not normal from the beginning to the end... But it is also true, in this world, how can normal people cultivate immortals?

Suddenly, Bai Zeqing felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a faint sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance hit him, and he regained consciousness was already on the Taoist priest's back.

Amidst her exclamation, the Taoist priest stepped out again.
