One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 89:88: Settled in Daoziyuan
The large palace in Lanling Mansion was brightly lit, with ladies walking around.

There were a few people sitting there.

One of them said, "The new teacher has taken the list of Taoist masters from the clerk. Do you think he will come to invite us?"

"That's inevitable." Someone answered with a smile.

"If he doesn't invite us, who will he let teach him?"

"Then let's continue to refuse unless he agrees to our request."

"we'll see."
-
A lamp, a person.

The statue emits red divine light under the dark blue lotus lamp.

The night is like a veil, covering the world.

The neon fairy goes out for a trip, pulling down the gauze curtain, with bright eyes dancing with light.

When Zhao Fuyun arrived at Daoziyuan, many people were already waiting there. He saw that among these people there were Daozi and their elders.

This surprised Zhao Fuyun a little, but when he thought that there were children among these Taoists, he was not surprised at all.

"Why doesn't everyone go in?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

Someone answered that the door could not be opened without a key, but for these practitioners, how could a small lock lock the door?

Zhao Fuyun came to the door and broke the lock with his hand because he didn't have the key himself.

Everyone followed him into Daoziyuan. There were many rooms in Daoziyuan, and each room was furnished with tables and chairs.

There are signs hanging on the doors, with names written on them, such as A, B, C, D, etc.

There are also gold, water, wood, fire, earth, wind, thunder, etc.

Arriving at the largest classroom, Zhao Fuyun said, "I will invite the Taoist master again and then notify everyone to start teaching the Dao."

These are Zhao Fuyun's words, without any grand words or promises.

However, when he asked if anyone was willing to come to Daoziyuan to work, after everyone was silent for a while, two young men raised their hands.

That person was Sun Chengze, and the other one was Zhao Guangtian.

Everyone didn't seem to trust the new teacher very much, but Zhao Fuyun didn't care.

He then instructed Sun Chengze and Zhao Guangtian to take his handwritten letter and invite the previous Taoist master to continue teaching in Daoziyuan.

But no one agreed, and there were even rumors of ridicule. Of course, these rumors of ridicule were only spread in some circles. There were even rumors that the new teacher had mediocre eyesight and could not see through the art of illusion.

In the intervals between his practice every day, Zhao Fuyun walked around Guangyuan Prefecture, leaving his footprints in some restaurants, teahouses, or small noodle shops.

He discovered that there were many Taoist temples throughout Guangyuan Prefecture.

These temples were not purely for personal cultivation, but places for recruiting disciples and teaching. Zhao Fuyun knew without asking that these temples had divided up the entire cultivation world of Guangyuan Prefecture.

If people here want to practice, they have to go to these temples unless they go to other states. And if outsiders want to open a temple here, they need the consent of the people here.

No one is allowed to open a school or teach students privately.

After Zhao Fuyun learned all this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

He understood where the biggest conflict between Daoziyuan and the local monks came from. The chief officials of various departments in the local government office all came from these dojos. In fact, they were no longer pure aristocratic families, but semi-sects in the name of dojos. They had a contractual consensus with each other and occupied Guangyuan Prefecture.

No wonder the people from Jingque Palace left in disgrace.

Daoziyuan seemed to have affected their interests.

In fact, because the heads of various departments in the government office were closely connected with local forces, the Zhou court did not have enough control over the local area.

Of course, after understanding the process of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Fuyun was able to understand that most dynasties in the world were the same.

The area now ruled by the Great Zhou Kingdom was previously ruled by the Xuanxin Sect.

The Xuanxin Sect once oppressed various small sects and families. Finally, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom united many families and sects to overthrow the Xuanxin Sect and established the Great Zhou Kingdom.

When he contacted everyone, he made a covenant that he would never exploit everyone like the Xuanxin Sect did. Everyone's mountains, fields and sacred lands were recognized by the laws of the Great Zhou and could be inherited as long as the Great Zhou existed.

That is why the Great Zhou Kingdom was able to gain everyone's support.

At that time, Tiandu Mountain was just a small sect that had been established for more than 200 years. The area where Tiandu Mountain was located was in the southern wilderness of Piliang, where monsters and ghosts were rampant in the mountains and rivers of the southern wilderness. The reason why Tiandu Mountain was able to gain a foothold there was also because the Xuanxin Sect felt that Tiandu Mountain could help resist the monsters and ghosts in the southern wilderness.

When the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty overthrew the Xuanxin Sect, it is said that he went to Tiandu Mountain in person. No one knows what they talked about in the end, but Tiandu Mountain helped Emperor Wu of Zhou and blocked the assassination of the Xuanxin Sect at a critical moment, and resisted the leader of the Xuanxin Sect with the power of one sect.

In the years that followed, Tiandu Mountain grew stronger and stronger, and the monsters and ghosts on the mountain were slowly eliminated or driven away. When the disciples of Tiandu Mountain went down the mountain to travel, their first stop was often the Great Zhou Kingdom.

But it was precisely this kind of oath at the beginning that led to the formation of various forces in various parts of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Those forces were either sects or aristocratic families.

Of course, as far as Zhao Fuyun knew, all the sects that had helped Emperor Wu of Zhou in founding the country, except for Tiandu Mountain, had developed into aristocratic families.

Although it still has the name of a sect, it has long since become a sect belonging to one family and one surname. Even if there are other surnames in the sect, they have become affiliated with it. Those who were unwilling to submit either left or died.

Zhao Fuyun wrote a notice to recruit independent practitioners to become Taoist masters, but no one came to apply. In the cultivation circle of Guangyuan Prefecture, this became a topic of laughter over drinks.

However, just when Sun Chengze and Zhao Guangtian looked dejected and the other Taoists were feeling frustrated, a group of people arrived.

There were more than ten people in this group, both men and women, all wearing Taoist robes, and they came to the Taoist courtyard.

Without any warning, classes resumed at Daoziyuan.

Many people in Guangyuan Prefecture were surprised. In fact, Zhao Fuyun was also surprised. He just tried to pass the message back, saying that there was no Taoist master teaching in the Taoist Academy of Guangyuan Prefecture and no one was expected to come, but people came anyway.

In the Daozi Courtyard, Zhao Fuyun and more than a dozen disciples from the lower courtyard of Tiandu Mountain were sitting there. He sat at the front, looking at the dozen people below.

He didn't know any of them, but the disciples of Tiandu Mountain had their own demeanor.

"Welcome all the brothers and sisters to come. Let us discuss the Dharma here and verify what we have learned. I hope that after you complete this mission, you will be able to make progress in your practice, resolve your doubts, and understand some principles."

"Yes, I will follow your instructions."

In this way, Daoziyuan in Guangyuan Prefecture reopened.

Almost overnight, Daoziyuan became the power of Tiandu Mountain, and it was nailed here like a nail.

Someone in Guangyuan Prefecture thought of this and immediately contacted Zhao Fuyun.

　A lot of things happened today, sorry for coming so late, this is the first update.
