When you are in the world, who doesn’t have some difficulties
Seeing that Song Bing and Xiaoya both looked embarrassed, Zhou Yi did not ask any further questions. The three of them chatted about the customs and anecdotes of Luoyang City, and they seemed to get along quite well.
By noon, more and more diners began to flock in, and the famous Bafang Restaurant in Luoyang City gradually became lively. Zhou Yi saw that many people who looked like Taoists came to the Bafang Restaurant to eat, and out of curiosity, he asked the two people beside him.
"Has there been any Taoist incidents in Luoyang City recently? Why are there so many Taoists?"
Xiaoya suddenly stared at Zhou Yi with eyes wide open, showing a look of surprise: "No way! You don't even know such a big thing?"
Zhou Yi shook his head blankly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have been practicing martial arts in the wilderness for some time. My skills have improved greatly in the past few days. I just came out. Could it be that something big has happened in the martial arts world?"
Song Bing nodded and asked, "Then do you know the position of Dao Zun?"
Dao Zun is the leader of all Taoists in the world. He takes it as his responsibility to promote Taoism and protect fellow Taoists in the world. He is a top figure in the world.
If we talk about the top figures in Taoism today, the four great masters of Taoism are naturally the first to be recommended! The Supreme Master Ling Donglai, the founder of Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng, the Immortal Chongyang, Wang Xu, and the Immortal Taiping Xianyun!
Among the four, Ling Donglai and Xianyun were both like mysterious dragons that were rarely seen; Zhenren Sanfeng was not interested in worldly affairs, so the position of Taoist Master had always been held by Zhenren Chongyang. After Zhenren Chongyang passed away, the position was taken over by his disciple Changchunzi Qiu Chuji. For more than ten years, Quanzhen Sect had been prosperous and was secretly the leader of Taoist sects in the world, so naturally there was no trouble. Now that Song Bing suddenly asked about the position of Taoist Master, Zhou Yi was a little confused.
Zhou Yi said: "Hasn't the Taoist Master always been Changchun Zhenren? Is there any problem?"
"This is a big problem!" Song Bing looked anxious, looked around, and then leaned close to Zhou Yi's ear and whispered, "Just a few days ago, Changchunzi Qiu Chuji died suddenly in Chongyang Palace. It is said that someone secretly murdered him!"
"What? Qiu Chuji is dead?" Zhou Yi was shocked. What kind of place is this Chongyang Palace? Not to mention the tens of thousands of Quanzhen disciples, there are also the famous Seven Quanzhen Masters, all of whom are top fighters in the world. If they use the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation created by Chongyang Zhenren himself, even masters like the Five Great Masters of Huashan will have a hard time in Chongyang Palace. Someone actually could kill Changchunzi Qiu Chuji in Chongyang Palace. How high must his martial arts skills be
Song Bing nodded and lowered his voice slightly, saying: "Your Majesty, upon hearing the news, you immediately issued an edict to the world. You feel that the position of the Taoist Master cannot be left vacant. After several selections, you think that Jiang Lingxu, the leader of the Taiyi Sect, should be the new Taoist Master. You have also decided to hold a Taoist conference in the capital Luoyang at noon the day after tomorrow to announce this matter. These Taoists should all come to participate in this Taoist conference!" Song Bing specifically emphasized the word "select", and his words were quite meaningful.
Zhou Yi's heart was immediately filled with surging waves when he heard this. He pondered for a moment and said, "When the empress conferred the title of Monk King Fa Ming, she tasted the sweetness. Now she wants to take advantage of the opportunity to get involved in Taoism through Jiang Lingxu. In this way, both Buddhism and Taoism will be under her control!"
"Humph!" Xiaoya snorted coldly, and said with some displeasure: "Who is this Jiang Lingxu? Is he worthy of being called the Dao Master?"
Song Bing shook his head and said, "I think your majesty is too hasty. The Buddhist and Taoist sects are full of people who have left the secular world. How much can you gain by mobilizing so many troops? On the contrary, it will easily arouse the disgust of the people of the world!"
"Since Wu Zetian ascended the throne, she has repeatedly used military force to eliminate the voices of those who support Li Tang and oppose a woman becoming emperor. Although the results are good, this move has made all the tribes outside the Great Wall united in hatred of the enemy. Now if we lose the support of the Taoist sect, I am afraid our situation will be worrying!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi's eyes immediately lit up. Song Bing's words not only revealed Wu Zetian's helplessness in raising war, but also hinted at the plan of the various ethnic groups outside the Great Wall to cause trouble in Luoyang. It was truly far-sighted and made people's eyes light up!
Zhou Yi said: "Is there no other opposition from the Taoist sects in the world? I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Taoist sects in the world to accept Jiang Lingxu as the new Taoist Master, right?"
"I think so, but Her Majesty is so prestigious that I haven't heard any voice of open opposition yet! But..." Song Bing suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "I am indeed looking forward to whether there will be anyone who will come to disrupt the meeting the day after tomorrow!"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
"Brother, are you idle and have nothing to do? Your old man has been ruling Lingnan for decades, but he never paid any attention to the emperor. And you are so good! You have come to the divine capital Luoyang so happily. Are you going to live your life according to the mood of that stinky woman Wu Mingkong?"
Young Master Xiaoyan was standing on the street in Luoyang, looking sad and unhappy.
Song Wen rolled his eyes at Young Master Xiaoyan and said unhappily, "Don't I know you? You bastard, you keep staring at these two beauties, Ming Suxin and Guo Nuan. Don't you see that they get a headache just by looking at you?"
"Eh! Is that so?" A look of doubt appeared on Young Master Xiaoyan's face, but soon turned into a look of joy: "That must be because they both fell in love with me at the same time, and they are as close as sisters, so they don't know how to choose! In fact, they don't have to worry about this at all. With my broad mind, I can completely... Oh!"
"Eat your steamed bun!" Song Wen stuffed a huge steamed bun into Gongzi Xiaoyan's mouth with one hand: "Be quiet for a while, or you will die!"
The two walked for a while and finally stopped in front of the Luoyang Imperial City. Song Wen looked up at the majestic and magnificent Luoyang Palace City in front of him and couldn't help but be mesmerized.
"What are you looking at? It's far inferior to the Forbidden City owned by the Zhu family in Nanjing." Young Master Xiaoyan patted Song Wen's shoulder and said.
Song Wen shook his head slightly and said, "The quality of a place depends on the kind of people living in it! For example, the Song family's knife grinding hall, if there is no Master Song, it is probably worthless!"
"Oh?" Young Master Xiaoyan suddenly became interested and asked, "So what kind of person do you think Empress Wu Zetian is?"
"A person who even Master's Heavenly Sword is not confident of! What do you think?"
After saying this, before Master Xiaoyan could continue speaking, Song Wen strode into the palace with his head held high.
Young Master Xiaoyan, who was standing behind him, looked at Song Wen's figure gradually disappearing into the palace and shook his head: "I didn't expect this martial arts fanatic to come. This will make the chess game in Luoyang even more chaotic. I hope we won't have to fight him!" (To be continued)
