"I came to Taiyi Mountain to thank Mr. Bai Yuan on behalf of the people of Daqin."
"Thank me?"
Ying Zheng's words left the Taoists confused.
Bai Yuan has no contact with the Qin State at all, so how can he express his gratitude?
Ying Zheng smiled.
"Your speech in Xinzheng allowed us to discover the famine in advance. We made preparations in advance, and only then was Daqin able to survive this disaster!"
"For this matter, I should naturally thank you, sir!"
Bai Yuan felt even more strange after hearing this. He had helped Xinling Jun in Wei State once, but almost caused the Qin State to be defeated.
However, Xinling Jun should have done a good job of keeping secrets, so no one would have thought that Xinling Jun's discovery of Wei Yong's affairs might be related to him.
Chisongzi and others also knew about the famine, but if Ying Zheng just wanted to thank Bai Yuan for it, he didn't have to come in person.
Therefore, this matter should just be an excuse, and the real purpose of his trip is definitely not to express gratitude.
Bai Yuan got Chi Songzi's hint and shook his head slightly.
"I didn't do this on purpose, so forget about thanking me! Besides this, the King of Qin should have other things to do, right?"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, his expression very serious.
"I know that my family has never been involved in the political affairs of other countries, but I still have an unwelcome request."
Whether it is the Tian Sect that emphasizes seclusion and cultivation of Taoism, or the Ren Sect that emphasizes escaping the world and experiencing the world with compassion, they basically will not get involved in the affairs of other countries, nor will they serve in the courts of other countries.
After hearing this, Bai Yuan did not say anything, but turned his gaze to Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi.
The two leaders of the Tianren Sect looked at each other and then nodded.
Decided to listen to what Ying Zheng wanted to do first.
"I want to issue a Heavenly Dao Order, hoping that the Taoists can help me when I'm in danger!"
Hearing this, everyone present stood up, obviously shocked by Ying Zheng's words.
"Does the King of Qin know what this means?"
The Tianren Daoling is the highest level Daoling of Taoism. Once it is issued, all disciples of the Tianren and Ren sects must obey it.
Ever since the split between the Heavenly and Human sects, no one knows how many years have passed since the Heavenly and Human Dao Order was issued.
The Qin royal family does have such a Heavenly Order in their hands.
When Laozi went west through Hangu Pass and traveled around the world, he finally chose to establish his sect in Taiyi Mountain. The Qin State gave Laozi face and directly transferred the ownership of Taiyi Mountain to Taoism to help Laozi establish his sect. So Laozi also left a Tianrendao Order to the King of Qin at that time.
With this order, the descendants of the Ying family can ask the Taoists for help.
Of course, Taoists will not help with everything.
Chapter 119 Five Year Agreement
The Qin monarchs of all dynasties had thought about using the Heavenly Order.
When Mengchangjun led an alliance to attack Qin, Qin even lost Hangu Pass. At that time, King Zhaoxiang of Qin thought about using the Heavenly Dao Order and asking Taoists for help.
But it was too late by then, and it was most likely impossible for Taoists to directly participate in such a war.
For various reasons, this Tianrendao Order has never been used.
Especially since the Qin State carried out Shang Yang's reforms, it has reused the Legalists and Military Strategists, but has paid less attention to Taoism.
However, no one expected that Ying Zheng would actually propose to use the Heavenly Dao Order at this time.
In fact, it is no wonder that Ying Zheng would use such an important Tianren Dao Order.
Although he was the King of Qin in Xianyang, his power was not in others' hands and there were very few people he could trust.
The Legalists and the Military Strategists were used by the Qin Dynasty, but not by him.
Especially the military strategists, generals like Meng Ao were all loyal to the Qin Dynasty, but it was not certain that they would be loyal to Ying Zheng.
If not for this, he wouldn't be so passive.
It was also at this time that he remembered the Heavenly Dao Order left to him by his father.
Ying Yiren also knew that Ying Zheng was young and would definitely not be able to take power, so he left this thing to him for self-protection.
Ying Zheng was also very decisive. After Gai Nie surrendered, he had the ability to secretly leave Xianyang, so he used the Tianrendao Order as soon as possible.
Seeing that Chisongzi and others attached so much importance to this order, Ying Zheng also knew that this trip would not be in vain.
"This matter shouldn't be too difficult for the Taoists, right?"
Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi looked at each other.
"Taoism can agree to this, but there are some requirements."
"What do you want?"
"We can't protect you forever, so this Heavenly Dao Order can only last for five years at most. If you don't encounter any danger within five years, then after five years, the Dao Order will no longer be valid."
Chi Songzi said in a deep voice.
Ying Zheng clenched his fists, he had guessed that this would happen.
It is indeed unrealistic to ask a top sect ranked among the top schools of thought to be his bodyguard for life.
He frowned slightly, but finally nodded.
"According to your wishes, within five years, if I encounter danger, the Taoists must help me!"
Five years is enough.
In fact, it is only a few years before he performs his coming-of-age ceremony and takes power, and the most dangerous period is just these few years.
If he was unable to rule the country for five years, he would feel like a failure.
Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ying Zheng agreed.
"In this case, we must take back the Heavenly Dao Order. After this, the debt owed by the Daoist family to the Qin State will be written off."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng took out a small token from his arms, on which was written a powerful word "Tao".
If you stare at it, you may even feel dizzy.
Chisongzi took the token, confirmed that it was correct, and then put it away, preparing to hand it to Beimingzi for safekeeping later.
After putting away the token, Chisongzi, Xiaoyaozi and others began to use the sound of nature to discuss how to accomplish the task.
Although they could just take action when Ying Zheng was in danger, they had no way of predicting when Ying Zheng would be in danger, and they did not dare to predict the fate of the ruler of a country.
So the best way is to send someone to protect him, just like Gai Nie now.
The first person Xiaoyaozi thought of was Bai Yuan. After all, Ying Zheng specifically asked for Bai Yuan. Even if he didn't say it explicitly, they knew that the other party definitely wanted Bai Yuan to be his bodyguard.
However, Chisongzi immediately rejected this proposal.
Anyone can be sent for this mission except Bai Yuan!
He is so important to Taoism!
He also knew that Bai Yuan would never agree to be a bodyguard for anyone.
The last time he went to study Confucianism, there were some twists and turns in the process, but after arriving in Sanghai, there were no more troubles.
Protecting Ying Zheng was a lot of trouble. If it weren't for the Heavenly Order, Chisongzi would never have agreed to it.
After a heated discussion, Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi finally came up with a more suitable solution.
"We will each send an elder from the Tianren Sect to protect you. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng glanced in Bai Yuan's direction.
In fact, he wanted to have more contact with Bai Yuan to see if there was any chance to recruit him.
But now that the Taoists have given a solution, he can't say anything more.
"So good!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Bai Yuan.
"Mr. Bai Yuan, if you have time, you are welcome to visit Xianyang Palace anytime."
Everyone could hear the recruitment intent in Ying Zheng's words, but no one expected that Ying Zheng actually valued Bai Yuan so much.
But when I think about it carefully, it seems much more normal.
Chisongzi and others from the Tianzong were people who didn't care about worldly affairs, and it was impossible for them to be recruited by him.
But Bai Yuan felt that there was still some chance. After all, Bai Yuan was not like Chisongzi and others who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, and his will was extremely firm.
The most important thing is that his status and position are high enough, and he may even be able to take charge of Tianzong in the future.
If he could successfully win over Bai Yuan, it would be equivalent to winning over half of the Taoists, and the power of his subordinates would increase rapidly.
Unfortunately, the falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is ruthless. Bai Yuan nodded slightly perfunctorily.
"I appreciate your kindness, Your Majesty. If there is a chance in the future, I will go."
He would never go there! That was Luowang's base camp, and the risk factor was extremely high!
Wouldn’t it be better to use this time to stay at home and accompany your lovely wife?
He was still thinking about what happened tonight.
He had agreed with Taoyao to try out how powerful the fragrance of the flowers was, and he didn't want to be disturbed by other things.
Ying Zheng was also somewhat helpless. If there was no contact, how could he talk about recruiting and winning over? Could it be that Bai Yuan would come and say that he wanted to serve him like Gai Nie did?
At this stage, it is a blessing to have someone like Gai Nie recognize him so much.
After all, he is not in power yet, and most of the talents will not come to him, but will choose to join the powerful Prime Minister Lu Buwei of Qin.
He was very clear about this, so he had prepared himself mentally before coming.
Ying Zheng's purpose of coming here had basically been achieved, and he couldn't leave Xianyang for too long, so he went down the mountain under Gai Nie's protection that day.
Not long after Ying Zheng left, the Taoists sent two elders to follow him and protect him.
They are Xuan Yuzi from Tian Sect and Ling Xuzi from Ren Sect.
The two will stay in Xianyang to protect Ying Zheng for the next year. After a year, other people will replace them and continue to protect Ying Zheng.
Bai Yuan didn't care about this at all.
After observing the famous Taoist swords, he is now impatient to try to activate the forging skills to see what kind of weapons he can make.
The matter of preparing famous swords for Jimo Huaxue and Ningyan can now be officially put on the agenda.
Chapter 120: Flying Sword? No, It's a Toy Flying Sword
There is actually a forging workshop in the Taoist Taiyi Palace.
The swords used by Taoist disciples basically all come from here, but the forge is rarely opened and used.
Firstly, it was because the Taoist sect did not recruit many disciples each year and the demand for swords was pitifully small; secondly, it was because no one in the Taoist sect was proficient in swordmaking.
Sword-forging is not like alchemy. It seems that you can forge a sword just by following the steps, but in fact, doing so can only produce a low-level longsword at best.
It takes a lot of skill to forge a sharp sword, let alone a famous sword.
Some swordsmiths cannot forge a famous sword in their entire life. After all, some special famous swords require a bit of spirituality.
However, there were also very powerful swordsmiths, such as Ou Yezi, the swordsmith of the Yue State. Famous swords such as Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Yuchang, Juque and Longyuan were all made by him.
The Taia sword he forged now ranks third on the sword list.
When Bai Yuan proposed to go to the forge to forge a sword, Chisongzi and others showed very strange looks on their faces.
They also knew that Bai Yuan often had some wild ideas, and sometimes he would come up with them without thinking. They didn't know why he was interested in sword making again.
"Junior brother, sword-making is not as simple as you think. Don't waste your time! If you need a sword, I can ask someone to get it for you. As long as it's not a famous sword, it's fine."
Chisongzi wanted to persuade Bai Yuan not to waste time on such unimportant matters. Although Taoism had alchemy, it did not have sword-making skills.
But who would have thought that Bai Yuan actually nodded: "I just want two famous swords."
