Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 649 Returning to Longqin Residence

Zhuge Qingyun kept thinking about it on the way.

He was thinking of a way to tell Li Qingwei about this matter, but he couldn't say it publicly.After all, the emperor of their Tang Dynasty was originally a "religious person".

Li Qingwei was born in the "Quanzhen Taoism", which is well known throughout the world.

If these religious landlords are to be suppressed, Quanzhen Taoism is also on the list.This might embarrass Li Qingwei.

However, this matter is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. As the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Zhuge Qingyun still has to report it to Li Qingwei. If Li Qingwei does extrajudicial favors and does not cause trouble for Quanzhen Dao, then it is his own business.

Li Qingwei saw that Zhuge Qingyun was full of thoughts along the way, so he steered his horse to Zhuge Qingyun's side and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you want to say to me?"

Zhuge Qingyun said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I do have something to report, but after I arrive in Luoyang, I will take your Majesty for a tour, and it will not be too late to report."

Li Qing smiled and said: "My Prime Minister Zhuge is also starting to play tricks."

Zhuge Qingyun bowed his head and said: "I dare not."

Li Qingwei didn't make things difficult for him either, since Zhuge Qingyun talked about it in Luoyang, then let's talk about it in Luoyang.

According to the plan, the caravan of the couple will stop in Luoyang, and the place to live has already been arranged, which is in Longqinju.

Soon, the team drove to the foot of Longmen Mountain, and then Xiaolongnv changed into casual clothes in the car, and then went to Longqin Residence with everyone.

But when he walked to the front of the Longmen Grottoes, Zhuge Qingyun stopped on purpose.

Li Qingwei asked at this time: "What's wrong with the prime minister?"

At this moment, Zhuge Qingyun pointed to the redecorated Buddha statue on the cliff and asked, "What do you think of this big Buddha, Your Majesty?"

Li Qing raised his eyes slightly and saw that the big Buddhas in front of him were indeed different from before. The big Buddhas carved out of mountains and rocks were now molded with "golden bodies", which were naturally not made of real gold, but painted with a layer of gold powder.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing frowned slightly.

Seeing Li Qingwei's unhappy expression, Zhuge Qingyun was overjoyed.

Then he followed Li Qingwei back to Longqin Residence.

Back at Longqin Residence, everyone can put down their airs.

Li Qingwei said before that in Longqin Juli he is just Li Qingwei, not "Li Sheng".

As soon as she entered Longqin House, Xiaolongnv went to rest first, after all, she was the most tired during the whole journey.

Li Qingwei and the others could still talk and laugh while riding a horse. Although she was sitting in the carriage, she couldn't laugh or move, and she had to maintain the majesty of the princess at all times.

Even though Xiao Longnv is a very determined person, she is a little tired because of the way she always does along the way.

But right now there are no servants in Longqin House, the original Mei and Xing were both transferred to Kaifeng City by Su Yuan to serve her personally.

Right now the servants in the mansion are all from Vulture Palace.

Li Qingwei returned to Longqin Residence, which he had been away for a long time, and returned to the living room of his "home", feeling very cordial.

Li Qingwei sat down, shook his neck, and said, "Siying, brother Zhuge, sit down wherever you want! Only here can I relax."

Duan Siying said sarcastically at this time: "Didn't you find this by yourself? Just let it go and make fun of the little prince. Instead of doing it, you must be an emperor. Since you have assumed this responsibility, you naturally have to pick up this burden."

Li Qing said with a smile: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Can't I be wrong?"

At this time, Li Qing looked at Zhuge Qingyun with a slight smile, and he asked: "By the way, Brother Zhuge, you were hesitating before as if you had something to say, but now that you are home, we have no distinction between superiority and inferiority. If you have anything to say, you can speak directly." Say it."

Zhuge Qingyun said: "It's nothing, I just want Brother Li to take a look at the Buddha statue in Luoyang."

Hearing him talking about Buddha statues, Li Qingwei immediately understood what he meant. It seemed that the two of them wanted to go together.

This matter has to be talked about when Bashu was captured. At that time, Li Qingwei was thinking about where to get copper to make money.

After much deliberation, he found that the best way was to confiscate all the property of the temple, and then use their things to make money.

After all, the "monk soldiers" were dispatched in troubled times. When Li Qingwei went to Shaolin, he also saw the Buddha statues in Shaolin Temple. Those Buddha statues were all made of pure copper and then plated with a layer of gold.

Since Shaolin is like this, I believe other temples are also like this.

Li Qingwei laughed at himself when he thought of this, those monks who claimed to "save all living beings" ended up enriching themselves.

From them, Li Qingwei thought of their Quanzhen Taoism.

Li Qingwei grew up in Chongyang Palace, and he is also a direct disciple of the current head teacher of Quanzhen Sect.Quanzhen sect has "a few catties and a few taels", Li Qingwei knows it all.

If Quanzhen Sect can be described in one word, it is "poor".

And it's not just "poor".

As an incoming disciple, Li Qingwei knew his teacher best. Although the teacher also had income, Quanzhen Sect basically had two sources of income.

One is that the disciples go out to fight for righteousness, or give lectures, or even do some rough work to get a little reward.

Instead, it relies on the donations of pilgrims who go up the mountain to worship the gods.Apart from this, Quanzhen Sect has no other source of income.

To be precise, the precepts of Quanzhen Sect do not allow them to have other sources of income.

As for the rest of Zhongnan Mountain, only the Chongyang Palace belongs to the Quanzhen Sect, but other places belong to the government.

Although the Quanzhen sect has land, it has no tenant farmers. Basically, some outside disciples are farming, and the food grown is used to support the whole sect.

Because the precepts of Taoism are there, although everyone chooses and rejects all things in nature, he must take it himself, and it cannot be left in the hands of others.

However, most of these outer sect disciples are laymen. Although they worked very hard in farming, Quanzhen Sect did not treat them badly. They taught them a lot of Quanzhen Sect's martial arts, which was essentially an exchange.

As for the construction of Chongyang Palace, it was built with the help of the patriarch Wang Chongyang and the Quanzhen Seven Masters, "begging for alms" every penny, or the remuneration received by Xingxia.

Even the statues of the Sanqing gods in the temple and the sitting statue of the patriarch Wang Chongyang are all clay sculptures and then painted.

Li Qingwei's life in Chongyang Palace was not good when he was young.

There are seasonal vegetables all day long, as well as tofu, and occasionally rice porridge and millet porridge, if there is a famine in the Guanzhong area.

He couldn't even drink rice porridge, because all the food was taken by the master to help the victims around Zhongnan Mountain.

As for the disciples of the Quanzhen sect, the food is halved, what should they do if they are not full and hungry?
It's very simple, Master Qiu personally taught everyone the "Bigu Immortal Art", since the old Taoist priests, all senior disciples of the second and third generations have been like this.

Even though Li Qingwei was still a few years old back then, he did not escape the teacher's "clutch".

Li Qingwei remembered that there was a famine at the foot of the mountain one year, and the master distributed all the food to save people.
