There was no other way. After several interrogations, Gu Yi couldn't find out the reason, so he had to give up.

Of course, for Taoists, there are so many things that they don’t understand, and no one can figure them all out.

Gu Yi could think of several reasonable explanations for what happened last night.

For example, the changes in the atmosphere of Tingshan Mountain combined with the changes in the time sequence of heaven and earth to form a temporary miasma; or perhaps a passing powerful thought it was interesting that a few scholars talked about the wine night, so they stopped...

In short, no matter what, things didn't get worse. Gu Yi had an explanation for the Qi family, so he wouldn't care too much.

For aspiring monks, self-cultivation is always the most important. Last month, the resources he asked the Qi family to search for were found, and he was eager to go back to seclusion to improve his cultivation.

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Seeing that Qi Hua was fine, Gu Yi was about to leave.

Qi Hua would not stop him, because it was already easy for Gu Yi to ask him to come forward for such a small matter.

So the three of them bowed and said goodbye. Zhou Bai used the corner of his eye to see the level of worship offered by the big family, but the Taoist officials back then didn't show any magical powers.

Gu Yi, on the other hand, didn't do any fancy moves. He took out a talisman and chanted a few words silently, then patted his leg, and the yellow paper talisman suddenly shimmered.

"Go back to the city quickly, you can take the county examination tomorrow."

"Hey~"

The three of them only heard a burst of extremely fast sound. When they looked up again, Taoist Master Gu Yi had turned into an afterimage and appeared a hundred meters away.

"Let's go, don't look at it, it's just the Divine Walking Armor and Horse Talisman, the most commonly used method by low-level monks." Sun Yucheng strode forward and couldn't help but say a few words when passing by Zhou Bai.

"Brother Sun is not wrong. These methods are not clever. It's just that we are determined to take the imperial examination and must not be distracted by foreign laws." Qi Hua also reminded him at the right time.

Zhou Bai nodded and followed behind, thinking.

In this extraordinary world, even in the mortal world, there are occasional monks who have entered the Taoist realm, because the resources needed by low-level monks are far less precious and hard to find.

Therefore, many casual cultivators will devote themselves to the sects of wealthy families. Of course, some monks do it for the resources of cultivation, and some monks do it for the glory and wealth.

Immortality is precious, but the Tao is hard to find. Not all monks are very determined in their pursuit of the Tao.

Zhou Bai was quite envious when he saw the Taoist priests worshiped by his family for the first time, but the resources to support Taoist priests were indeed not something that the Zhou family could afford. In the previous life, the Zhou family collapsed and could not afford to support them.

Even the wealthy families in the county generally do not worship foreign Taoist priests. At most, Taoist priests from their own clan return to the family. They will do their best to support them because they can ensure that resources are not wasted.

County magnates can support one or two people, but only when they reach the county magistrate level can they support many people. They can form a joint formation, which greatly increases their power.

Of course, due to the high cost and the supervision of the imperial court, the county magistrate would not really offer too much. With three or four Taoist priests in charge of the family, everything could be fully guaranteed.

As for the aristocratic family, the background is too deep, and there is even a certain sect behind it, so there is no way to know the real situation.

However, there are records in this dynasty that one hundred and fifty years ago, a rebel army colluded with the rebels and attacked the ancestral home of the Bai family.

More than ten thousand troops besieged a small town, which was on the verge of collapse and in danger. As a result, the Bai family invited thirty-three Taoist priests to worship, many of whom were from the second realm.

The Taoist priests formed a formation and attacked suddenly from the center of the army. They killed the general and captured the commander in an instant, and the crisis was resolved.

Such a powerful Bai family is only a newly emerging family in the past few hundred years. They have lived in the south of the Yangtze River and established their clan through imperial examinations.

For a time, the Bai family became famous, and followers from all over the country came to seek refuge with the Bai family.

Of course, the imperial court was naturally wary of controlling so much extraordinary power. After several attempts to suppress it, the Bai family never came forward again.

I heard that the emperor at that time issued a secret decree to all the major families, strictly prohibiting them from crossing the line.

As a guarantee, the imperial court established complete Taoist priest corps in major state capitals, and county governments also had low-level Taoist priest corps to suppress all restless elements.

Powerful families below the aristocratic family level took this as a warning, and most of them would not openly enshrine Taoist priests, lest they arouse the fear of the imperial court and ruthlessly suppress them.

It is also true that every family has extraordinary background, and there are very few cases of death or destruction. No one wants to be assassinated by the other party's sacrifice.

Thinking about his family background, Zhou Bai's desire to grasp the extraordinary power became more and more restless. He can't afford it now, but I can cultivate it myself!

In his previous life, he promoted people to Taoism. Although he stopped at the second realm, he generally knew the mainstream realm.

The first level is to condense magic, the second level is to transform into the mortal world, the third level is Yin Shen, and the fourth level is Yang Shen...

Among them, the cultivation of magic can generate magic power in the body, draw talismans, and use some small spells without any problem.

This realm is also called entering the Dao, which is the level where most county magnates and even county princes worship. At least it is enough for the Zhou family.

It’s hard to say it’s difficult, but it’s really not difficult to say it’s not difficult. To promote people to be scholars in a serious way, you should first learn the Tao and then follow the Dharma. If you are familiar with the Tao, it will be easy to enter the Tao and condense the Dharma.

However, if ordinary people who have not taken the imperial examination want to enter the Taoism, they must have innate qualifications, otherwise they will waste half their lives and not be able to see the true Dharma.

Zhou Baisi thought about it and finally remembered that there was a Taoist in his clan, and that he was "familiar" with him.

The way down the mountain was very noisy. The frightened servants rushed to greet the two young masters. Even Zhao Liangji and the others had pale faces.

Even though Sun Yucheng is a concubine, he does not have a legitimate mother, so he might not be able to compete with the boss, so there are many Sun family members around Sun Yucheng who support him.

If he and Zhao Liangji went up the mountain together, and Zhao Liangji was safe and sound, but something happened to Sun Yucheng, the Sun family would not let them go.

It may affect the family, and if it falls apart, even the ancestors will be implicated, and the blessings will no longer be there.

Not only did Zhao Liangji feel relieved when he saw the three people coming down the mountain, but even Zhou Bai didn't feel so annoying anymore.

When we got down to the foot of the mountain, the man who had always been taciturn and showed himself to be steady was now smiling, and he quickly let go of the reins and stepped forward.

"Master Bai, I hope you are safe and sound."

"You worked hard all night." Zhou Bai acknowledged Lao Bashi's words when he saw that he abided by his wishes and did not act rashly.

Even though Zhou Bai had explained in advance that going up the mountain might be delayed, he couldn't sleep well all night long, and so many people were lost in the fog when they went up.

"Let's go, have a good rest today, and keep your spirits up for the county test tomorrow."

With an empty stomach and no appetite for dry food, under Zhou Bai's urging, he quickly walked over thirty miles away.

"Wish the wine to the east wind, and let's be calm together..."

As soon as he entered the city, Zhou Bai heard someone reciting poetry on the roadside. It was his freshly baked Lang Tao Sha.

The Tingshan Poetry Club ended yesterday, but it caused quite a stir in the city. The new word brand was still so good that it spread throughout Bei'an City almost overnight.

The scholars who participated in the Tingshan Poetry Society publicized the scenes they saw. In ancient times, poems were written in seven steps, and today, poems are written in seven steps. This is a good story.

Of course, they didn't make Zhou Bai famous for no reason, they also wanted to prove their choice.
