Chen Chao was well prepared for Chi Xin Guan this time, but for this young garrison whose scheming skills were among the best in the world, his first choice was to lose face and not to give out anything of real money.
After all, under the current situation, Daliang Chao is like a housewife who has to count how many buckets of rice and how much money she has left to live on. She saves as much as she can, because no one knows the next time her husband comes to the house from outside.
When will I get the money back?
Yun Jianyue smiled and said, "As a temple leader, I should seek something for the Taoists in the temple. Otherwise, I, the temple leader, will be stabbed in the back by them."
Chen Chao looked at Yun Jianyue and uttered two words, "Yunling."
Yun Jianyue was startled, obviously not expecting Chen Chao to say these two words. He looked at Chen Chao in disbelief, then his face was filled with suspicion, and then he murmured, "No, you Chen Chao have always been a thief."
Being able to take something out of your hand if you are empty, isn't that harder than climbing to the sky?" .??.??
The two words Yunling, not only Yun Jianyue, but actually all the Taoists in the entire Taoist sect, when they heard these two words, they would be distracted for at least a moment.
It was an isolated mountain located on the border of Qingshan Prefecture. It was not surprising at first. During the Taizong period, after the climate changed, a medicinal herb called Yun Ling Cao abounded in the mountain.
Although Yun Ling Cao is just an ordinary herb and has no big effect when used alone, there are many elixirs in the Taoist sect, especially the meditation elixirs needed by those high-level monks who are in retreat.
This kind of medicinal herb is used to stimulate the medicinal effect, so the value of Yunling grass is always high on weekdays. The ones produced in various places in Daliang are sold to Taoist sects, and all the major sects are rushing to buy them.
Yunling alone accounts for half of Daliang's annual Yunling grass production.
If Daliang is willing to give Yunling to Chixin Guan, then Chixin Guan will no longer have to worry about Yun Ling Cao. They can even produce excess elixirs and use them to exchange supplies with other sects of the Tao Sect.
In fact, as early as the Taizong period, after learning that Yunling produced Yunling grass in large quantities, Chixinguan had been working to get Yunling. However, Daliang people naturally knew the value of Yunling, and they had been taking precautions over the years. Chixinguan
Although it is the number one sect outside the Fang, there are other Taoist sects in Yunling who are keeping an eye on it, and it is difficult to directly grab them, so this maintains a delicate balance.
After Emperor Liang ascended the throne,
The supervision of Yunling is even more stringent, and the chance of infatuation is even slimmer. After Chen Chao becomes the garrison envoy of Daliang, Fang Wai will not tell the secrets of attacking Yunling. If Chen Chao does not take advantage of them, even if he
The incense is burning high.
Therefore, it can be said now that as long as the Chen Dynasty is still there, no sect can have the idea of attacking Yunling.
Chen Chao glanced at Yun Jianyue and said with a pained expression, "This thing must be very heavy."
Yun Jianyue nodded. If Yunling took it out, Daliang would have much less income every year, which would be a huge amount of money.
"what would you like?"
Yun Jianyue is not stupid, so she naturally knows that Chen Chao will not give him anything in vain.
Chen Chao was a little surprised and said, "No, Master Yun Da, Master Yun Da Guan, you don't think I want to give Yunling to Chixin Guan, do you?"
Yun Jianyue was startled for a moment, then came back to her senses and rubbed her face in embarrassment, which turned a little red.
Everyone can understand how precious a place like Yunling is. If Chen Chao sends Yunling away, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
He is not stupid, so it is naturally impossible for him to do this.
"For ten years, Yunling will be leased to Chixinguan for ten years. During these ten years, Chixinguan only needs 100,000 days of money each year."
Chen Chao paused, then smiled and said, "After ten years, Daliang has the final say whether to renew or not."
One hundred thousand days of money for one year is actually no different from giving it away for free. Chen Chao now took out Yunling, and it was obvious that he was selling Chixin Guan for face. To be precise, he was selling Yun Jianyue, the master of the temple, for face.
Repair the relationship between Chixin Guan and the court, thus giving the Taoists of Chixin Guan another reason to go to the north.
Yun Jianyue said, "The guard envoy of the Liang Dynasty has always done things with his head raised, and slapped people when he was not satisfied, but now he lowers his head in a foolish way?"
Chen Chao looked at Yun Jianyue and said with a smile, "That means you have become the temple master. If the temple master is still fine now, when I walk into this Taoist temple, it will be you who are all jumping up and down."
when."
Yun Jianyue nodded, "Others say I don't believe this, but since it's you who said it, I barely believe it."
Chen Chao made a sound, glanced at the Scripture-Depository Pavilion and quickly looked away, then curiously asked, "Can you let me go to the back mountain to have a look?"
Looking at the back mountain with a crazy mind, there are many old Taoists, some of whom may have broken through the Wangyou state and reached the Fuyun state.
It's just that those people never cared about the world outside, they just devoted themselves to practice.
Yun Jianyue shook his head and said, "Seniors won't do anything. If you come to provoke me, you may not die, but what's the use of sending you out of Yunling?"
Chen Chao smiled and said, "I just want to see if there is an old master who actually cares about the world and wants to work with me to kill that demon emperor."
The moon among the clouds remained silent.
He has been thinking about this question many times. For the so-called Taoist cultivators of our generation, is it so important to cultivate immortality that it is more important than anything else?
Chen Chao quickly noticed something was wrong with Yun Jianyue, patted the young Taoist master on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'm kidding you, even if the masters there are willing to take action, it won't fucking work."
Yun Jianyue turned around and rolled her eyes at Chen Chao, "I was not comforted."
Chen Chao changed the subject and said with a smile, "Tell me something you might be interested in. Find a quiet place where there are no other people around."
…
…
The two of them walked from outside the Sutra Storage Pavilion to Yun Jian Yue's cave. The Taoist great master, now the master of Chixin Temple, even set up a formation to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping on what he and Chen Chao were saying.
conversation between.
Chen Chao's entry into the concept of infatuation certainly attracted the attention of countless people.
Chen Chaojing waited for Yun Jianyue to arrange everything properly and then sat across from her, then she slowly said, "Have you ever thought that the world is a circle drawn by one person? From the beginning, it went through thousands of years and finally returned."
Chen Chao stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the ground, extending out and finally returning.
Yun Jianyue looked at this scene and said softly, "Come from nothing and go back to nothing."
Chen Chao
Glanced at him.
Yun Jianyue said, "This is one of the teachings of Taoism."
"Then your so-called... Dao Ancestor... seems to have been reminding you of something."
Chen Chao was keenly aware that the so-called Taoist ancestor of the Taoist sect should have known the truth for a long time. However, if he thought about it, a person who was qualified to establish a religion and claim to be the ancestor would definitely not be short-sighted and just an ordinary monk.
Yun Jianyue said, "You are saying that the entire world, after thousands of years, will probably be wiped out by someone like a chessboard, and then start a new game."
Chen Chao nodded and said, "Zhenren Yun is really smart."
After saying this, Chen Chao glanced at Yun Jianyue, and then said before the young Taoist could speak, "Some chess pieces are not important, so I just waved them casually and left them on the chessboard."
.”
Yun Jianyue said, "The Taoist ancestor may be that person."
His response was quick.
But just as quickly, his question followed, "Evidence."
Chen Chao then began to talk about the things he knew, whether it was the Rongshan Sect, the Goddess, or the Fuyun Sect on that piece of paper.
After listening, Yun Jianyue was silent for a long time without speaking, and finally murmured with some uncertainty, "God?"
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "I think some monks with higher realms must have something to do with the monks overseas. The old Taoist priests in your temple will also know some of the truth."
Yun Jianyue looked at Chen Chao and was about to speak when Chen Chao waved his hand and said, "That will happen later. If I can't stop the demon clan now, then there is no need to consider those things."
"But you have to understand that these people are really hiding and we don't know what they are doing. That is a very scary thing."
"I'm telling you this because if that day ever comes, we will stand together."
Chen Chaoping said, "It's more important than standing together now."
Yun Jianyue said softly, "Do you want to save the people from the fire and water?"
Chen Chao smiled and shook his head and said, "I am just the guardian of Daliang."
