Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1195: The Taoist Temple is filled with green smoke

In the Taoist temple, winding paths lead to secluded areas.

This Taoist temple in Qingcheng Mountain has been renovated several times.

Since Li Xiong officially worshiped Fan Changsheng, an old Taoist in Guanzhong, as his teacher, in order to show his respect for his teacher and to advocate Tianshi Tao, he sent a large number of manpower to repair and rebuild it three times.

Nowadays, this Taoist temple occupies a place halfway up the mountain. From a distance, the rows of houses can be compared with the palace.

In fact, not only these Taoist houses, but the entire mountain is now the real estate of the Tianshi Tao in Shu. The hunters and farmers in the mountains and below are all tenant farmers of the Taoist temple. It is a veritable giant. landowner.

And now in the court of Shu, there are many officials and subordinates who are from Tianshi Dao. They can be regarded as a force in the court. In order to deepen the relationship between them and clarify each other's interests, they Feedback and feedback to this Taoist temple has become the simplest and most direct choice.

With its development to the present, the Taoist temple on this mountain has become more and more influential and influential.

Of course, correspondingly, with the expansion of the territory, the corresponding responsibilities will also increase. While leading the Taoism in Shu, they must also assume the responsibility of maintaining the water and soil of one side.

Therefore, the old Taoist priest who could have been free from the world and only looking for eternal life had to put down his bright lamp, sit in the temple, and smell the qi and understand the mystery.

Green smoke curled up in the main hall of the Taoist temple. The old Taoist sat on a futon with several bright lamps in front of him. The smoke slowly condensed under the guidance of inexplicable power.

Henry Zhang, standing by the door, stared at the curling smoke with all his concentration, shaking his head slightly from time to time.

He could already see that the smoke was not without any structure, but slowly gathered together, copying the map of the Central Plains, dividing the north and the south.

"Although this smoke is divided into three parts, the southwest Shu region is the weakest and has a shallow foundation..."

He quickly saw that the map made of smoke was vaguely divided into three families, one in the north, one in the southeast, and one in the southwest.

The north is the most solidified. Although it is formed by the accumulation of smoke, it looks like it is wrapped with silk threads, almost condensing into substance.

Looking at the southeast, although it is still filled with smoke, it looks extremely complicated. The smoke and smoke are still entangled and affecting each other, but there is a trace of thick atmosphere, and even if there is a majestic wind blowing over, it does not collapse.

Correspondingly, it is the piece of smoke in the southwest.

This piece of smoke looks very clear, without the entangled and unclear feeling of southeast smoke, but it is not as good as the other two in terms of territory.

And whenever the wind blows over, the smoke in this area will fluctuate. Even if the air flow is slightly stronger, the smoke will show signs of falling apart!

"After all, the foundation is still not enough. The Northland has money, food, soldiers, and people, and has more foundation. It has the power to swallow up mountains and rivers. But the southeastern Jiangzuo land has an orthodox status after all, and it will not completely collapse in any case. , but this Shu region started out as a rebellion, stealing the land, and the leader is not a descendant of the Central Plains."

"This is an inherent disadvantage in terms of luck. If there is a great chaos in the Central Plains, it will be fine if the Han family declines in the end. If there is a great chaos, then the Shu region can be relatively peaceful. The north and the south will fight each other and weaken each other, as long as there is no decisive force that can dominate one side. Before it appears, you can slowly accumulate strength, but the problem is that the current situation is the most unfavorable!" "Unorthodox and rebellious, a decisive force appears in the North, and it is clear that it will attack, so the result... ..."

Henry Zhang was thinking about it when suddenly, a gust of wind blew, directly stirring up the airflow in the main hall. Then he saw that the territory formed by the condensed smoke suddenly changed violently. The north suddenly pressed over, directly Covering the two houses in the southeast and southwest, half of the southeast was shattered, while the entire southwest was covered!

Seeing this scene, Henry Zhang was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and finally shook his head.

"It seems that you have seen the fate of this Shu land."

An old voice then sounded.

Henry Zhang looked at the sound, and then saluted respectfully.

The person who spoke was none other than the old Taoist priest Fan Changsheng. He opened his eyes and sighed.

"Teacher, I don't know the situation in Shu, but is there room for change?" Henry Zhang walked over and lowered his head to ask.

The old Taoist priest did not answer, but asked: "You have been in the Northland for a long time, and you have even met the champion. In your opinion, how much room for change is there?"

His disciple Henry Zhang once went to the Northland.

At that time, Li Xiong came to visit and asked Fan Changsheng to help. At that time, Fan Changsheng made several requests, one of which was to have Henry sent to the North.

Henry Zhang's trip to the North was originally a plan of the old Taoist priest. He saw that there was a change in luck there, so he gave the order. After Zhang Xuan went there, he did not stay for a long time, but went there a few times later.

During this period, he had a certain friendship with Sun Xiu, the successor of Taoism in the North. Following this relationship, he also developed some personal connections in the North. The ideas of Taoism also attracted some scholars and officials in the North. With a place of recognition, besides alchemy and chanting, you need to have a certain economic foundation, so these relationships are really of great use.

Even during the restructuring of Youzhou, relying on this network, Zhang Xuan also expressed some opinions to Chen Zhi, and was even invited to ask for his opinions.

After some recollection, Henry Zhang answered truthfully: "What students saw and heard in the Northland can cleanse their Taoist minds. When they met the champion, they realized that there are those who are born with knowledge, and there are even more born sages."

"That's it," Fan Changsheng sighed and shook his head, "That champion is a powerful person. I have seen him continue to gain momentum along the way, and his luck has increased even more. During this period, there have been several crises. Not only has he been able to survive safely, However, he has also robbed the luck of the heroes in the North. Now this man has become a leader. He has accumulated a hundred years of luck, but he is not satisfied yet and wants to take over the world. How can we resist this?"

"Is it really so powerful?" Henry Zhang was also surprised. He knew that his teacher actually had some mysterious skills, involving the path of Xuanxu's luck, as well as the means of connecting to the underworld. So Li Xiong has been able to do this in recent years. It went so smoothly, thanks to this great contribution, but now the old Taoist priest is also at a loss.

"It's not that there is no way," the old Taoist priest pondered for a moment, "but it can't cure the root cause. At most, it can be delayed to give the Li family time to make a choice. Then Li Xiong is respectful, and I should make a plan for him."

Henry Zhang heard something else from these words, and couldn't help but worry, and was about to speak, but saw the old Taoist shook his head, just asking him to lead people in.
