"Hao Jing?"
Red Yaksha heard this, but there was no trace of curiosity on his face. Instead, he frowned slightly, "Are you still dealing with those idiots?"
"Hahaha..."
Seeing his worried look, Boss Feng felt warm in his heart, covered his mouth and smiled, "Hong Jie Don't worry, I'm not that ignorant chick. I've suffered a loss once, so how can I provoke these people?"
He said meaningfully:
"This news is related to you."
Red Yaksha didn't take it seriously, shook his head and said, "I don't participate in the disputes between rivers and lakes, and I don't have any thoughts on the road of begging. I just take care of my children and dig out the best treasures. What does it have to do with me."
Boss Feng said calmly, "I heard that it was the tomb of an ancient Zhou alchemist. Mystery Seeking Lineage found it first. Something happened at that time. Everyone who went in died, and only one ran out."
"Many people on the road heard the news and went secretly at night. Someone used explosives and actually let them open the tomb and robbed the Funerary Objects inside. A fight broke out."
"Many of these things have been transferred to Chang'an. Others are not bad, but I heard that someone got Noon Demon Slayer Sword..."
"What?"
Red Yaksha stood up suddenly, with a face full of shock, and slowly sat down again. He didn't know what he thought of, and murmured, "Master..."
Chang'an City God Temple is Daxuan City God Temple.
The so-called City God Temple is the temple that governs all the large and small city gods in the Shenzhou area. It is considered to be the highest level and is enshrined by the royal family.
Chang'an City The original City God Temple was completely destroyed in the war between Former Dynasty Da Xing and Golden Horde Wolf Country.
When Great Xuan Dynasty was first established, the founding emperor Xiao ChengYou decreed the reconstruction and repair of City God Temple in various places, and established Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect as the state religion.
Therefore, this Chang'an City God Temple was built just a hundred years ago.
Its address is at the original Guangde Ward, which is where Tang Era Jingzhao Prefecture is located. It is large in scale and enshrines the first Divine Land, Ji City God.
Like Xianyang City God Temple, the pattern of Chang'an City God Temple is also divided into two parts.
The front door City God temple is open day and night. All pilgrims can enter and worship. Temple fairs are held regularly on the eighth day of February every year.
As for the palace at the back, it is prohibited to enter or leave at will.
There are not only Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect enshrining the large-scale She Ling Soldiers, but also Mystic Sacrificial Official, Enforcement Hall and other institutions that manage Daoism.
Today, there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going in front.
There was also a long queue even at the side entrance to the apse.
These people also look strange, including a blind Old Woman in black, a gray-haired old man carrying a Liuqin on his back, and even a monk wearing cassocks.
We lined up quietly in the wind and snow, occasionally chatting quietly.
These are naturally Xuan Gate People.
Although Great Xuan Dynasty is mainly Daoist, it does not exclude Buddhism. Buddhism is also among the orthodox religions, and those awarded to Buddhist disciples are called Buddhist Certificate.
As for the witches and men from other sects, they are all Daoist ultimatums.
Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan are also in the team.
Because they were not sure about the situation of Chang'an City God Temple and there were so many people waiting, they did not want to make an exception so as not to embarrass Luo MingZi, so they followed the queue honestly.
Xuan Gate People might mean Divine Ability.
Perhaps they were afraid of being exposed, so everyone was silent. Even if they talked, they would only speak in low voices and not say anything important.
At this moment, a Daoist in gray clothes came out with a long sword on his back, his face was very ugly.
"Wu DaoYou, what's wrong?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph!"
The gray-clothed Daoist snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly, "The imperial court wants to restrain Xuanmen, and I understand that, but why do we need to investigate the Human Path line and divide it into three, six, and nine levels?"
As he said that, he raised his hand Dao Certificate Document and said, "See, the orthodox religion is black, the Dharma veins are red, and the side doors are all white, just like the funeral frame!"
The people next to him looked at each other, then an old man shook his head and advised, "Friend Daoist, calm down, there are high and low in Xuanmen. We are just afraid of trouble, and we don't have money from the court, so we don't care what he does."
"That's what I said, alas~"
The gray-clothed Daoist wanted to refute, but seeing everyone's appearance of not wanting to cause trouble, he suddenly felt discouraged and shook his head and said, "That's it, I'm a poor Daoist who just wants to be at ease. I didn't expect that even though I'm in the Xuanmen, I still can't escape being manipulated."
"What is the law of nature? Xiaoyao is in the world... bullshit!"
He shook his head as he spoke, and gradually went away, disappearing into the wind and snow...
Li Yan looked calm and had already expected it.
New Imperial Policy, will definitely cause dissatisfaction.
But Great Xuan Dynasty's national power is at its peak and the laws are strict. How can one or two complaints be of any use to what we have to do?
Before he knew it, it was finally his turn.
Mystic Sacrificial Official didn't go too far. Everyone entered alone and would not be seen by others, so the queue was longer.
The registration place is in a side courtyard at the side entrance.
In the wind and snow, the door of the main hall of the side courtyard was open. A Old Taoist was reading the roster there, and another clerical official in green robe was copying it.
The weather was cold, and the two of them breathed and rubbed their hands from time to time.
Seeing Li Yan enter, Old Taoist's attitude was very kind, "Fellow Daoist, please take a seat. No need to be formal. Are you here to register?"
Li Yan slightly raised his hand and said, "Come and get the ultimatum. Senior Luo MingZi said it's done."
"Oh?"
Old Taoist seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at Li Yan, "My name is Li Yan, from Lantian, from Xianyang?"
Li Yan nodded and said, "That's right."
Old Taoist didn't waste any time. He stood up and pulled out a copy of Black Dao Certificate from the shelf. "It's done. Fellow Daoist, please verify it?"
"Black Dao Certificate?"
Li Yan was a little surprised after taking it.
Old Taoist smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist has a special status. The so-called orthodox religion is just a canonization by the court. Compared with you, it is far inferior."
Although it was not stated clearly, Li Yan understood it instantly.
It says the identity Living Underworld Messenger.
Li Yan opened the Daoist certificate and took a look at it. Apart from his name and place of origin, he didn't say much about his inheritance and Daoism.
He wondered in his heart, "What's different about this black ultimatum?"
Old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Orthodox religion is canonized by the imperial court and has the responsibility of safeguarding the country. The Daoist ultimatum naturally has many conveniences."
"Firstly, information will not be leaked easily, and secondly, if there is an urgent matter, you can go to the local government office and ask for an expedient."
"That's it."
Li Yan It became clear instantly and I was very satisfied.
He had a rough idea of the divisions of this ultimatum.
Xuan Se is respected and regarded as one of his own.
The second color is red, and the court is less defensive. After all, the Dharma lineage is well-established. If someone commits a crime, the monk can escape but cannot escape from the temple.
White is the main focus of Mystic Sacrificial Official.
After getting a bargain, Li Yan was naturally in a good mood. He stood up and said, "Thank you, senior. I would like to visit Daoist Luo. Is it possible to send a message?"
Old Taoist shook his head and said, "Luo MingZi has important matters and has left Chang'an. I don't know when I will come back."
Just got a mission after being injured?
Li Yan was not disappointed either. He nodded and said, "Leave a letter below. If Daoist Luo comes back, please pass it on to me, senior."
Although Luo MingZi is not here, getting the ultimatum means that a big thing has been done.
Li Yan was in a good mood and wandered around with Wang Dao Xuan after going out.
"That's Tang Era West Market."
Wang Dao Xuan is quite familiar with Chang'an, pointing to the dilapidated earthen wall in the distance, "Tang Era West Market is famous all over the world, with hundreds of industries and tens of thousands of shops. From the Western Regions to Nanyang, merchants gather here and there. It's very prosperous..."
"Oh?"
Li Yan became interested upon hearing this, "Let's go and have a look."
He had been famous for this "Chang'an West Market" for a long time in his previous life. He didn't expect it to still exist in this world, so he naturally wanted to see it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "West Market is gone long ago."
"Tang Era is closed, private transactions are prohibited, and there is a curfew at night. Naturally, it can only be concentrated in West Market."
"Now Great Xuan Dynasty has no curfew, business is encouraged, and shops are gathered in every city. Moreover, West Market has gone through the war and is no longer a market."
"What is it now?"
"When Polo Field, Chang'an was being renovated, West Market was originally going to be bulldozed, but at that time Shaanxi Province Administration Commissioner came forward and turned this place into Polo Field."
"Great Xuan Dynasty people love polo very much, and all walks of life have their own teams, which compete regularly. Whenever there is a temple fair or Lantern Festival, this place will be very lively..."
Finally, Li Yan ran to take a look.
Unfortunately, the result left him disappointed. Perhaps it was because the winter solstice had just ended, and the yellow grassland was covered with snow and there were no people.
But several barbarians walking by the door attracted his attention.
"He is a merchant from the Western Regions."
Wang Dao Xuan whispered, "Fire Worshiping Sect Foreign Temple is on the opposite side of Liquan Ward, and Jing Sect Temple is on the opposite side of Yining Ward."
"Although the prosperous Tang Dynasty died, its reputation in foreign countries has not diminished. Merchants from the Western Regions often choose Chang'an as their first stop. In addition, their descendants now all live in these two cities."
As he said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and he chuckled and said, "There are Xuan Gate People among the barbarians. I heard that there are Chang'an wealthy businessmen who believe in this way. They not only donate money for sesame oil, but also ask for help when they encounter trouble."
"I just don't know if this foreign law can catch local ghosts..."
Li Yan When I think about that scene, I also smile dumbly.
The two wandered around at will and unknowingly visited the former Taiji Palace and Daming Palace.
It is a pity that the once glorious palace now only remains in ruins and luxuriant grass. There are people farming the land and shepherd boys herding sheep.
Looking around, it was desolate.
Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "The old palace has long been destroyed by the war, but the foundation of the city wall is difficult to clean, and Chang'an City has no shortage of space, so it has been abandoned here. Occasionally, literati come to reminisce about the past."
As he spoke, he whispered, "However, Pindao heard that this is where Chang'an Ghost Market is located. There are people in the world selling stolen goods, and Xuan Gate People trading magic weapons and Heavenly Spiritual Treasure."
"It's just that the location is hidden, and it often changes places. If no one is there to guide you, it might be difficult to get in."
Li Yan thought for a moment, "Does the Daoist priest need Heavenly Spiritual Treasure to build a three-story building?"
Wang Dao Xuan nodded and said, "Well, after settling down, I'll see if I can find Treasure Hunter for help. If it doesn't work, I can only look for it on the black market. City God Temple is also available, but the price charged by the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect is too high."
Li Yan smiled and said, "You can contact Zhao the Donkey. After all, Brother Zhao is a man in the art of suppressing treasures and knows the ropes."
"This kid, didn't he say that he has saved enough money and wants to marry his mother-in-law? I don't know if he can find one..."
Chang'an City is quite big. Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan didn't go to many places. When they returned to the inn, night had fallen.
In the wind and snow at night, the lights are bright, and Chang'an City is even more dazzling.
"Oh, you guys are finally back!"
Sha LiFei was waiting in the main hall of the inn. When he saw the two of them coming back, he immediately complained, "What's so good about those crappy places? I wanted to take you to eat something good, but there probably won't be any seats there right now."
"Where?" Wang Dao Xuan asked quickly.
"Pingkang Ward's Flower Calyx Tower!"
Sha LiFei said with eyes full of longing, "I heard that Chang'an is a holy place for cooks, where masters from the north and south gather together. Old Sha I have been craving it for many years, but unfortunately I am short of money."
"Now that I have money, I will definitely fulfill my wish!"
"Oh, Flower Calyx Tower..."
Wang Dao Xuan obviously knew this place, nodded and said, "It's okay. If we find an opportunity another day, let's go there early."
That's the problem with threesomes.
Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan are focused on seeking Daoism and practicing cultivation. Although Sha LiFei is greedy for money, he is also a person who burns too much money.
As soon as I hear about something delicious and fun, I immediately feel depressed.
Li Yan naturally did not object. He looked upstairs and asked doubtfully, "Where is Hong Jie, are you still drinking with that Boss Feng?"
"I'll leave in the afternoon."
Sha LiFei replied, "I have something to do, so let's go to bed early and take Yan XiaoGe to apprentice tomorrow."
"Have you found a house?"
"Hey, don't mention it. Does this Chang'an City person not know how valuable Daoist Coin is? Several broken yards dare to ask for three thousand taels. Laozi would only buy it if he was stupid."
"If that doesn't work, just rent one for a long time first. It's best to be more secluded."
"Well, wait a minute. I'll ask the brothers from Yahang to keep an eye on it. If it doesn't work, I'll rent it for a long time..."
The three of them returned to the small courtyard while chatting, and casually asked the waiter to prepare some fried noodles, wine and food.
After dinner, Sha LiFei went back to his room and fell asleep, while Wang Dao Xuan and Li Yan went back to their rooms respectively.
One is studying scientific rituals with classics, and the other is practicing various hand techniques and seals. By Zi Hour, he is practicing again.
They know that if they want to gain a foothold in this Chang'an City Xuanmen, they really can't do it without some special skills...
The next day, the light snow finally stopped.
The three of them got up early, but they waited until three o'clock in the morning before Red Yaksha hurried over, their faces covered with frost and the coldness still lingering on their bodies.
"Hong Jie, what's the matter?"
Noticing that Red Yaksha looked tired, Li Yan asked quickly.
"It's okay, let's check the information." Red Yaksha shook his head slightly, "Let's go, I have inquired about it on the way, Senior Li happens to be having a consultation in the hall today."
Seeing Red Yaksha didn't want to say more, and the three of them couldn't ask more questions.
Yong'an Ward is not far from Lanling Ward. After leaving the inn, it took less than a stick of incense to reach Vermilion Bird Avenue.
Vermilion Bird Avenue is also known as Heavenly Street, "Heavenly Street is moistened by light rain", which refers to this street. Tang Era is more than a hundred meters wide. Now that the square wall has been demolished, it looks even wider.
There was a flow of people on the street, including camel and horse teams delivering goods, as well as Prosperity people's sedan chairs. It looked lively, but it didn't look crowded at all as they walked left and right.
Along the street are all kinds of people setting up stalls on the ground.
Gold Gate who tells fortunes and reads fortunes, Leather Gate who sells medicine and cures diseases, Caimen who does magic tricks, Stinky Pendant who sells powerful pills... It can be said that Three Religions and Nine Schools is a real gathering.
Several people had other important matters and did not bother to take a closer look. They passed through Vermilion Bird Avenue and arrived at Lanling Ward on the opposite side.
Lanling Ward is directly opposite Vermilion Bird Avenue, which is naturally a good location. As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of restaurants and tea shops.
"It's right there." Red Yaksha pointed ahead.
Li Yan Looking around, I saw a lot of people crowded outside a medical clinic named Renxin Hall...
