Ouyang Rong was about to ask again, but Xie Lingjiang suddenly said:

"Senior brother, I'm going to go out to Gezao Mountain to find the antidote."

"Ge Zaoshan? Yuqingzong?"

Ouyang Rong frowned. He knew something about Taoism in the world. After all, Taoism was considered the state religion and had a great influence on Da Zhou and his predecessor Da Gan. Moreover, he had heard his junior sister mention it a few times before.

Taoist sects in the world are divided into north and south, Beilouguan, and South Sanqing.

The Louguan Taoist sect is the most powerful, and the Zuting Zongsheng Palace is located in Zhongnan Mountain, and Zhongnan Mountain stretches across Guanzhong.

When Daqian was founded, the Taoist priests of the Louguan Taoist sect had meritorious service in supporting the dragon and had close ties with the Liqian royal family. This also contributed to Taoism being established as the state religion of Daqian.

Although the current head of the Zhou Dynasty, Empress Wei, admires Buddhism and relies on Buddhism to suppress Taoism, the Louguan Taoist sect is still considered the number one Taoist sect in the world, overwhelming the southern Taoist sect.

The Sanqing Taoist sect in the south is relatively low-key and weak, but this is only for the Louguan Taoist sect in the north.

The Three Qing Taoist sects are Taiqing Sect located in Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Sect located in Maoshan Mountain, and Yuqing Sect located in Gezao Mountain.

Although it is divided into three parts, they are collectively called Sanshan Talisman, or the three talisman sects.

Because unlike Beilou Temple, which emphasizes Taoism but neglects magic, Southern Sanqing emphasizes magic but not Taoism, and they are all good at using talismans.

Xie Lingjiang said softly:

"That's right, I have to go to Gezao Mountain. My father has some friendship with an old Taoist priest from Yuqing. I'm going to see if I can get some magic elixir to detoxify."

Ouyang Rong immediately asked: "Why not go to Taiqing Sect, which is closer to Longhu Mountain? Gezao Mountain seems to be further away, but what's so special about it?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded and explained:

"Taiqing, Shangqing, and Yuqing, although these three talisman sects belong to the same generation of Three Mountains, they each have their own specialties."

"Three Mountains Spilled Blood"

"Three mountains dripping blood... Senior brother can be understood as the blood alliance of these three Taoist mountains. It means that when the disciples of Sanqing choose their Taoist names, they all use the same generation, which can be regarded as one with each other in the Taoist tradition. Yes, from the same lineage.

“The Three Qing Dynasties were headed by the Taiqing Sect of Longhu Mountain.

"The Taiqing Sect has the deepest foundation, the most Qi practitioners, is better at practicing inner alchemy, and is more reclusive. It is one of the reclusive sects like Yunmeng Jianze.

"The Shangqing Sect has the fewest Taoist priests. Most of them are from a single lineage. They do not accept disciples of any kind. They are half worldly and half worldly. The worldly disciples who walk under the mountain are chivalrous and good at holding jis and praying to gods.

"On the contrary, the Yuqing Sect is the lineage with the most Taoist priests among the Three Purities. It recruits many disciples and naturally has fewer Qi practitioners, but it is the most deeply involved in the world and the richest.

"Because it is good at Qihuang medical skills and Waidan, Gezao Mountain has strong incense, numerous palaces, and grand rituals. It is very popular among the wealthy officials and merchants of Jiangnan Province. It is not comparable to Donglin Temple of the Pure Land Sect in Dagushan, Dragon City. The rich families in Guanzhong and the dignitaries in the two capitals often send people south to burn incense and seek elixirs."

"Do you want elixirs from Ge Zaoshan? When will the junior sister return?"

"Senior Brother...are you not used to Junior Sister leaving?"

Xie Lingjiang lowered his eyelids and did not look at anyone. He stared at the half-cup of tea on the small coffee table beside him and asked casually.

Ouyang Rong choked for a moment, but he lowered his head and thought about it, nodded seriously and said:

"It's a long way to go, worry about it."

"oh."

Xie Lingjiang responded with a calm tone, but he quickly picked up the tea cup, covered the corners of his mouth that could not be suppressed and took a few sips of tea, and then spoke calmly with his lips and teeth full of sweetness:

"Gezao Mountain belongs to Yuanzhou on Jiangnan Road. It's not too far away. If we travel day and night... it can be half a day as fast as it can be as slow as ten days. We will return as soon as we find the antidote."

"Half ten days, one ten days..."

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes slightly, murmured for a while, then raised his eyes with an elegant smile on his face:

"That's alright, have a nice journey, junior sister."

"Senior brother, please don't worry." Xie Lingjiang nodded.

"When are you leaving?" he asked again.

"Now, leave early and come back early."

Ouyang Rong sighed and nodded.

Xie Lingjiang stood up, stretched out his hand towards him, and said unceremoniously: "If you go to ask for medicine, do you have to borrow something from senior brother?"

"What?" Ouyang Rong was stunned.

"I'll lend it to my senior brother Yin Xue..."

Half an hour later, outside the lobby of the county government, the figures of Liu Ashan and Yan Liulang who were delivering things gradually retreated and disappeared.

At the table in the lobby, Xie Lingjiang was putting a small porcelain bottle filled with some kind of red liquid into a wooden box. The wooden box was covered with ice packs, wrapping the small porcelain bottle.

Xie Lingjiang put away the wooden box for storing blood and turned to look at his senior brother standing quietly with his fingers wrapped in white cloth.

"Senior brother, do you have any other instructions?" She looked away and turned to him sideways to ask.

Ouyang Rong shook his head.

"Let's go then." Xie Lingjiang nodded, turned and walked towards the door.

Ouyang Ronghu said: "Wait a minute."

Xie Lingjiang stopped almost instantly.

"Just like my father, he is really nagging."

She turned her back to Ouyang Rong, and her tone seemed a little dissatisfied.

Ouyang Rong lowered his head, took off a long sword from his waist, stepped forward, and tied it on Xie Lingjiang.

"This is..." Xie Lingjiang lowered his head.

It's the moonlight sword.

"Actually, I'm not a swordsman, so I might not need it."

"Take it."

Xie Lingjiang glanced at his senior brother curiously, and seeing his stubborn expression, he had no choice but to accept it.

"I'm really gone."

The girl wore a sword and walked away with her back turned, waving her hand impatiently.

"Um."

Ouyang Rong nodded slightly and looked at the little junior sister's leaving figure, not knowing what he was thinking.

The woman's figure had long since disappeared, and I don't know how long she had been standing in front of the door. Senior Brother You sighed slightly and said what he had not said just now:
Chapter completed!
