The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

The post of governor? It can be said that most of the power has been evacuated? Or it has been dispersed.

After the captain heard this, he was even more displeased.

Just when he was about to speak again, Xu Jingzong reminded him? Then he said to Qi Shou: "Lead the way ahead, it happens that we came to Lizhou this way, and it was indeed hard work."

After Qi Shou smiled, he led the crowd towards the city of Lizhou.

After Xu Jingzong and the others entered Lizhou City, there was almost no place to put their eyes.

People are everywhere.

People from Tang Dynasty? People from Baekje? People from Silla, people from the Western Regions and so on.

There are even a lot of carriages.

Not long after the new year's festival, even Chang'an was not so lively.

But in Lizhou City, it was extremely lively.

The shops on both sides of the street are full of pedestrians, coming in and out.

Seeing that Xu Jingzong and the others had no place to use their eyes.

After Qi Shou led them to the post house, after making arrangements, a small official was left behind to wait for instructions, and he then left.

"Xu Inspector, why are the officials in Lizhou so big or small? We are officials dispatched by the imperial court, but don't show up in Lizhou, and even the captain of Zhechong Mansion doesn't show up. , is this going to give us a blow?" After seeing Na Qishou leave, the captain sat in the post house and yelled.

This is how to welcome the superior.

In other states, that is absolutely impossible.

If such a scene really happens, it is estimated that those officials will feel uncomfortable in the future.

But the captain was not aware of the situation, and was completely in a state of anger.

Xu Jingzong sat on the stool in the post house, drinking tea, enjoying himself very much.

After the captain sat down, he poured a bowl of tea for him, and said comfortingly: "Captain Wang, the imperial court transferred you to Lizhou to serve as the captain. It seems that you are not aware of the situation. But I have inquired clearly about the situation in Lizhou early on, so what happened to you and me today is considered good. So, Captain Wang, please calm down."

"Xu Inspector, why don't you tell me to be calm? I came to Lizhou to take up the post, not here to take advantage of the wind. The court really did, and suddenly transferred me to be a captain. I was also ordered in the face of danger. Knowing the situation in Lizhou, I only heard that Lizhou is rich, but I didn’t expect that Lizhou is rich, but this official doesn’t have a good thing.”

"Shh, Captain Wang, be careful with what you say!" Xu Jingzong looked at the posthouse and hurriedly warned after hearing what the captain said.

Who is Xu Jingzong?

For such a thoughtful person, he wouldn't just talk nonsense.

But the Captain, is a straightforward person.

Speaking of it, it doesn't matter what the occasion is.

half a day.

It passed under the complaint of the captain.

The next morning.

Xu Jingzong got up early in the morning, "Captain Wang, today you and I need to visit two people, and those two people are the ones who decide everything in Lizhou, so when we get there, you must be careful what you say .”

"Huh? Who?" The captain was very puzzled when he heard Xu Jingzong's words.

"When you get to the place, you will know. Okay, Captain Wang, the horses are ready. You and I won't be able to ride in a carriage in a while. We have to ride a horse. I don't know that old bone I can't stand it." Xu Jingzong said as he walked out of the gate of the post house.

And the small official in the post house who was always ready for instructions, after seeing Xu Jingzong and the others left, rushed to the state government office to report.

Zheng Zhi, who got the news, sat firmly on Diaoyutai like Jiang Taigong.

even.

Officials in the entire Lizhou got the news.

After noon yesterday, Zheng Zhi had already returned to Lizhou from Longquan Temple.

As for why he didn't go to meet the newly arrived governor of Lizhou and the captain.

Zheng Zhi naturally has his own ideas.

and.

In the entire Lizhou officialdom, everyone had the same idea as Zheng Zhi.

That is to wait for Xu Jingzong and the others to visit those two people.

Only after paying a visit to those two people will they formally meet Xu Jingzong and the others.

And this time.

Xu Jingzong and the two who left the city were riding horses, neither fast nor slow, heading towards the northwest of Lizhou City.

A few guards followed closely behind.

"Xu Inspector, who are we going to visit? We came to Lizhou to take office, why do we need to visit others? Could it be that there are some important people in Lizhou?" The captain on horseback was very puzzled.

Woke up this early in the morning, drank a lot of cold wind, and didn't know what happened.

The captain's mood at this time, how can it be good.

Xu Jingzong smiled, looked sideways and said, "Captain Wang, do you know why Lizhou is so prosperous and rich right now?"

"How did I know that I came here non-stop from Jianzhou after I received the order from the imperial court, and how did I know the specific situation in Lizhou." The captain really didn't know.

"That's right, you are also temporarily ordered. You are far away from Chang'an in Jianzhou, and you really don't know some news. I can't say more about some things. After you get to the place, you will naturally understand." Xu Jingzong After answering, I will not say more.

Who is this Captain Wang, Xu Jingzong knows better than anyone else.

and.

Although the two arrived in Lizhou at the same time, they sat on two separate boats, and they didn't even touch each other a few times.

It is said that Xu Jingzong came to Lizhou as the governor, and he really wanted to win over this captain.

Unfortunately.

This captain, although he is a martial artist.

Xu Jingzong didn't dare to reveal more things casually before he fully figured it out.

Even Xu Jingzong didn't say much about the person they were going to visit at this time.

Can be imagined.

Xu Jingzong is so cunning.

run all the way.

Although the captain on the road kept chattering, Xu Jingzong just smiled and kept silent.

This made the captain even more unhappy, and at the same time began to have some complaints about Xu Jingzong and the governor.

Nearly two hours later.

The group finally arrived at their destination.

Xu Jingzong stopped his horse, pointed to the distance, and said to the captain: "Captain Wang, have you seen the Taoist temple ahead? That is where we are going, and there are two of us in the Taoist temple. People who need a good life to pay a visit, when they arrive at the temple, don't talk too much like just now, otherwise, the official position will not be guaranteed, and it is hard to say that you will even lose your life."

After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he urged his horse to go again, leaving the big captain there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Chapter 827 At First Sight, I Am Interested

At this time, the captain.

After seeing the Taoist temple in the distance, I seemed to have a vague state in my heart.

although.

Until now.

He still hasn't figured out why Xu Jingzong brought him here.

And who are the two people who are going to visit in that Taoist temple in a while?

Shaking his head, the captain put aside his confusion and chased after him.

Shortly after.

A group of people came to the gate of Longquan Guanguan.

"My subordinate, Xu Jingzong, begs to see Master Li and Zhong Taibao." As soon as Xu Jingzong arrived outside the gate of Longquan Temple, he shouted loudly into Longquan Temple.

Following Xu Jingzong's words, he fell behind.

Only then did the Captain understand who they were going to meet.

Although he is a captain who is an official in Jianzhou far away.

It is far away from Lizhou, and it is also far away from Chang'an.

Message delivery is also really difficult.

But even though he was far away from Lizhou and Chang'an, the Captain still heard some gossip.

Although the Great Captain said that he already had a clear target in his heart, he was still a little stunned.

He had never seen the Li Zhenren that Xu Jingzong called out, nor had he seen the Zhong Taibao he called out.

He didn't know the name of Li Zhenren in front of him.

But for that Zhong Taibao.

Although he was a little unclear in his heart, he could guess who the person he was going to meet later was.

And this time.

The Taoist in the temple heard someone shouting outside the temple, and rushed out.

When the Taoist saw that the group of people who came was officials, he saluted and asked, "What's the matter for you guys to come to my Longquan Temple? If you come to pay homage to the Taoist Lord, please also ask for instructions."

"Hello, Daochang. I am the new Governor of Lizhou. I am here to pay a visit to Li Zhenren and Zhong Taibao. I would like to ask the Daoist to inform you." Xu Jingzong hurriedly explained the arrival.

After the Taoist heard it, he realized that the people in front of him were here to visit the temple master and Zhong, and he immediately replied, "Then please wait a moment, I will go to ask the temple master for instructions."

After finishing speaking, the Taoist turned around and went back to the temple.

Zhong, who got the news, was a little confused at this time, "Xu Jingzong? He arrived fast enough. Lizhou, which only arrived yesterday, came today."

"Nine Poems, since they are here to pay a visit, let them enter the temple, just go to the third side hall." Li Daoling had no objection.

Whether it's an official or an ordinary person.

Li Daoling would generally receive anyone who came to pay a visit.

only.

The place of reception is particular about it.

The first side hall is used to receive ordinary people.

The second side hall is used to receive ordinary people from various sects, just like ordinary Taoists who place orders, they use this hall.

And this third side hall is used to receive officials.

As for the fourth side hall.

Naturally, people belonging to various sects are received.

As for the main hall.

Non-self Taoist disciples are not allowed to enter at will, and they will not receive others.

Except for some rituals or major events, even people from other Taoist sects in the main hall are not allowed to enter at will without reporting.

There is a saying.

The land of the Daojun's dharma body and dharma form? That is not something outsiders can touch at will.

This is basically the case in all sects and sects of Taoism.

Just like Buddhism? The same is true for its etiquette.

Shortly after.

The Taoist returned to the temple again, "What did the temple master say? Since you are here for a visit, please follow me into the temple."

"Thank you." After Xu Jingzong thanked him, he raised his legs and walked towards Longquan Temple.

And the Captain followed closely behind.
