Today's Holy Emperor is a devout Taoist believer. From the fact that he calls himself Emperor Taozu, we can see the prosperity of Taoism in Huizong's dynasty.
I heard that the Daozu Emperor recently received a dream from Daozu and was in Bianliang, preparing to build "Gen Yue" to raise the position of the palace.
In order to improve the royal feng shui, the stones needed to build Genyue are the famous "Huashi Gang".
The Hua Shi Gang is a waste of people's energy. Countless people have been affected by the Hua Shi Gang, which can be said to have caused endless harm.
Unfortunately, this improved Feng Shui seemed to be of little use. Before the transformation was completed, the Daozu Emperor had already "conquered the enemy personally" and "went deep into the enemy camp."
It is said that what goes up and what goes below leads to results. Because of this, the entire Song Dynasty respected Taoism very much.
Not long after Xu Hanliang arrived, perhaps the Taoist squinted his eyes and looked towards the audience.
Feeling that there were enough people, he slowly stood up.
Beside the Taoist, there were two little Taoist boys standing, looking at the Taoist with eyes full of respect and admiration.
"Who the devil dares to cause trouble again!"
The Taoist priest who had just opened his eyes suddenly pointed at the audience and shouted loudly.
Everyone in the audience was so frightened that they started to retreat.
The next second, the Taoist priest took out a piece of white paper from his arms and threw it into the air.
The white paper fell gently under the influence of the breeze. Seeing this, the Taoist priest quickly picked up the bowl of water next to him.
After taking a sip of water, he spit it towards the white paper.
"Monster, why don't you show up quickly when you see me, Taoist!"
The Taoist priest's eyes widened in anger and he started to scream.
This scene made many onlookers around the area scared to death.
Before the onlookers could react, the Taoist priest's wooden sword penetrated the white paper.
At this moment, on the white paper, a ferocious-looking ghost suddenly appeared.
As the white paper penetrated, a stream of blood slowly flowed out from the ghost's body, which looked very magical.
"Okay, the evil spirits here have disappeared!"
After putting away the long sword, the Taoist put the white paper in his hand directly into the oil pan next to him.
"You are really difficult to deal with. If that's the case, then just suffer from my frying!"
The white paper was already tumbling in the boiling oil pan. After tumbling a few times, the Taoist reached into the oil pan.
When the people around him saw this scene, they screamed in surprise.
After all, sticking your hand into a boiling pot of oil is obviously asking for death.
But the Taoist looked calm and showed no pain at all.
But in a moment, a small wooden figure was taken out by the Taoist.
The wooden figure is very similar to the evil spirit on the white paper, but the evil spirit on the white paper has completely disappeared.
The villagers who saw this scene retreated one after another, fearing that innocent people would be harmed by this evil spirit.
"Oh my god, miss, it's so scary."
The arrogant maid before was now hiding behind her young lady.
"It seems that this is a Taoist with real abilities, and my father can really be saved."
The woman was not afraid at all, but spoke excitedly.
After Xu Hanliang glanced at the woman, he didn't say anything. Instead, he held his hands and continued to watch the Taoist's performance.
At this time, the people nearby were already shouting.
What's more, some bowed their heads and bowed, which seemed very sincere.
"Now this evil has been eliminated, but it will indeed cause endless harm."
The Taoist sighed slowly.
"Master, since this evil has caused harm, let's just deal with it once and for all."
When the little Taoist boy on the side heard this, he took over the conversation.
"What are you talking about?" Another little Taoist boy stood up: "It's easy to get rid of evil spirits, but there are a lot of evils here. Do you want Master to lose his life span?"
"This, I also have good intentions."
The little Taoist boy who spoke at the beginning seemed a little guilty and lowered his head.
"It's impossible for Master to lose his life and seek holy dust from Sanqing for the sake of the people here."
The little Taoist boy who defended his master spoke again and said loudly.
This sentence was obviously meant for the common people, who panicked.
"Tianshi, please save us."
"If Heavenly Master can save us, we will definitely give you a golden body."
"Yes, just help us."
…
The people around him were even more panicked and knelt down to worship him.
Xu Hanliang frowned. He always felt that he had seen this kind of discussion before. Did selling goods originate from the Song Dynasty?
When the Taoist heard these words, his face seemed to be unbearable.
"Heaven and earth are unkind and all creatures are like rotten dogs. If I lose some of my lifespan, I can exchange it for more people's lifespans, then I am willing."
The Taoist gritted his teeth and seemed very hesitant.
"Master, if this is not the case, we can distribute the holy dust in exchange for money, and then create a golden body for the ancestor. Maybe we can make up for it?"
The Taoist boy on the side spoke again.
But the Taoist raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking about? The people themselves are in extreme suffering, how can I accept that Adu thing?"
"Tianshi, we are willing, we are willing."
Seeing this, the people in the audience cried and said again.
"This Heavenly Master is really a saint. Miss, let's give him more money."
The maid spoke again and looked at her young lady.
The young lady also nodded and said seriously: "I still have a hundred taels of money order with me, let's also accumulate some merit."
When the old Taoist priest saw many people kneeling down, he frowned and said, "In that case, let's sell this holy dust cheaper, one tael of silver a bag."
The Taoist boy on the side quickly grabbed the old Taoist priest and said, "Master, it costs ten taels of silver to make this holy dust. You are making us lose a lot of money."
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he scolded the Taoist boy fiercely: "All the people in the Song Dynasty are one family. Is it possible that you want to sell one family at such a high price?"
As he spoke, he looked at the many people and gritted his teeth: "Family members, I have made an agreement with Dao Ancestor. This holy dust will be sold for one tael of silver. If the old man blames me, then I will bear it alone."
Seeing the confident expressions of the people around him, Xu Hanliang finally couldn't stand it anymore.
If you don't stand up anymore, maybe these people will really be deceived by them.
Many of the people around were in ragged clothes, and they looked like poor people at first glance.
One tael of silver may be their lifetime savings.
Some people even stood up and wanted to go back to the city and borrow money from the village.
But anyone who has some conscience will not deceive these people without any conscience at all.
Thinking of this, he stepped onto the high platform and came to the Taoist.
When the Taoist saw Xu Hanliang ascending to the high platform, his face panicked and he asked, "Who are you?"
