I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds

The cancellation of the Hundred Flowers Festival robbed the people of Tai Cang of much of their joy.

The young women from various places who remained in Tai Cang City, however, boosted the commercial prosperity, making the already lively city even more bustling.

However, several major events occurred in Tai Cang City these past few days.

In addition, a child abduction case that had been dormant for many years was solved. The case involved demons, and many people with strange abilities were wanted.

This news caused another uproar in Tai Cang. No one had imagined that such a case would involve so many secrets. This also made the residents of Tai Cang City more wary of the traveling entertainers.

It was naturally Jiang Wen and Li Yunshang who released the inside story of the Hundred Flowers Festival. After discussing it, the two decided to implement a combined strategy, both overt and covert.

When Jiang Wen and Li Yunshang passed by the stone statue, Li Yunshang bent over with laughter. She patted Jiang Wen's shoulder and teased, "I didn't expect this Fairy Lu to be so beautiful. I really hope to meet her."

"We need more of these big events," Jiang Wen sighed.

He asked Li Yunshang, but she couldn't explain it clearly. Unable to figure out the origin of the matter, he stopped thinking about it.

However, Jiang Wen felt a sense of déjà vu when he looked at these rumors. In his history, it seemed that there had also been a time when Buddhism flourished and Taoism declined.

Although there are cultivators in this world, there are very few jade stones that can store cultivation methods as he imagined. Most cultivation methods are stored in the form of books. Without a master's guidance, it is difficult to understand the contents.

The time on the ship was boring. Besides watching videos and TV series, Li Yunshang taught the two girls how to cultivate.

"…What's going on? Could it be that every statue that receives incense can be transformed into an illusion here?" He speculated about the origin of this illusion, feeling somewhat inexplicable.

Because they were not short of gold and silver, the group traveled in a first-class passenger ship. Mo Xiang and Shu Xiang had already begun to cultivate. When they learned the story behind the Hundred Flowers Festival, Mo Xiang's face darkened considerably. The girl had never imagined that there would be such a big trap, so much so that she hadn't recovered yet.

This also gave Jiang Wen, who was about to become impoverished, a satisfying boost, making him feel much more at ease.

Although Taoism was not as prevalent as in his world, there was still a path to cultivation. He had discussed the Dao with Chang Mingzi, who had also mentioned what the Dao was. It seemed that although there was no Taoism in this world, there were still people who cultivated the Great Dao.

It is said that the top ten candidates originally selected for the Hundred Flowers Festival were favored by the governor, but one of the female fairies disrupted the banquet and exposed the governor's scheme, ultimately saving the ten girls.

The overt strategy was to inform Su Mu of the Tai Shen Palace about what the governor had done.

The further they went, the more they could see the prosperity of Yang Province. According to Li Yunshang, the tax silver Yang Province paid each year was ten times that of Qing Province.

After observing for a long time, the illusion seemed to be there and not there, as if it could disappear at any time. Touching it with his consciousness didn't produce any reaction, so Jiang Wen could only put the matter aside for the time being.

There are ten large cities here, three hundred small cities, and countless others.

Then came the rise of Buddhism and the decline of the Immortal Sects. Cultivators entered the mortal world to spread the Dao, and thus there were the titles of Taoists and Real Men.

Just as he was speaking, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and then, as if a dragon had turned over, the entire ship suddenly capsized.

This inexplicable incense value puzzled Jiang Wen. It was not until he saw the statue that he understood that the incense value came from here.

"Once we pass Yang Province, I will have a way to go directly to Ning Province. Then we won't have to travel so hard," Li Yunshang said, looking at the map. "We've been on the water these past few days. When we get to Yang Province City, this young lady will treat you all well."

Cultivators originated here and were known as Taoist cultivators.

Unlike Qing Province, Yang Province is a vast, flat land. There are thousands of miles of fertile land here, and you can see endless plains. Water and land intertwine, and people cultivate and live in peace and contentment.

"What exactly is going on?" Jiang Wen closed the book, feeling puzzled.

After traveling along the waterway for several days, Yang Province was just ahead.

Previously, he had wondered why there were Taoists in this world when there was no Taoism. Only today, after glimpsing this book, did he learn that in the ancient era, the human path was weak, and the Human Emperor opened the realm, destined for the rise of the human path. It is said that an immortal preached the Dao, calling himself a Taoist. He lectured in the Sumeru Realm, and all who were destined could listen.

The sails on the way were dense, more lively than their journey from Jingxu to Tai Cang by many times.

Jiang Wen also took this opportunity to glimpse the storage bag of True Man Tai Xuan. There were mountains of books in it, but he didn't find many treasures he was looking for.

Inspecting the statue with his divine sense, Jiang Wen suddenly discovered an illusion beside the statue. The illusion was extremely familiar. Upon closer inspection, it was actually his female form.

This matter was also confirmed by several other girls who participated in the banquet. For a time, the relatives of families with daughters who participated in the Hundred Flowers Festival were all grateful to this woman. Later, it was rumored that this woman was named Lu Xueqi and was from Qing Province.

Later, the Immortal Sects flourished, and the names of Taoist cultivators and cultivators gradually spread.

At this moment, Jiang Wen and his group had already left Tai Cang by boat, heading towards Yang Province along the waterway.

With Li Yunshang's guidance, Jiang Wen learned everything quickly. This may be another advantage of cultivators: photographic memory is only the basics. The ability to infer and learn is extremely strong, which is why cultivators can stand at the top.

Looking at the books left by True Man Tai Xuan, Jiang Wen gained some understanding of the secrets of Da Qian.

"Noisy," Jiang Wen replied irritably. He didn't feel embarrassed about this matter. After all, as long as he didn't transform again, no one would know that he was Lu Xueqi. Moreover, this incident had brought him a lot of benefits, not only adding six thousand merit points to his account but also eight thousand incense points.

Clearly, they were only separated by a mountain range, but the difference was so great.

The covert strategy was to secretly spread the truth so that everyone would know what the Hundred Flowers Festival was actually used for.

The people of Yang Province were more densely populated than those of Qing Province. Merchants carrying loads on their shoulders could be seen everywhere.

Therefore, to express their gratitude, the people erected a statue for this woman, calling her the Savior Fairy Lu.

Gradually, a rumor spread in Tai Cang City.

The prosperity of Yang Province is due to its terrain, its natural advantages. It is also because it is one of Da Qian's granaries.

Jiang Wen prepared to protect the two girls, but saw that Li Yunshang had already protected them with magical treasures.

Feeling slightly relieved, he fell into the water.

The boat cracked, and countless people struggled in the water. Jiang Wen held his breath, preparing to save people. He saw a pair of scarlet eyes looking at him from the bottom of the river.
