Cui Heng had heard about this Taoist Palace for a long time.

This is the leader of the Taoist sect in the world, located on the "Donghua Mountain" in the true sense of the center of the world.

Daoyigong claims to have been inherited for more than ten thousand years and has existed long before the birth of this world's national system.

Moreover, he also claimed that the Patriarch was the head of the gods who once divided the thirty-six states in the world, and was revered as the "Tao God" by the Taoist Palace.

It sounds very exaggerated.

Whether this is bragging or not is unknown.

After all, the earliest historical data in this world can be traced back to more than 3,000 years ago. Even if some myths and legends are included, it is about 4,000 years ago.

However, what is certain is that on the existing bronze inscriptions of the "Yan Dynasty", there are already words such as "Dao Tiangong" and "Tao Shen".

The Yan Dynasty is the oldest country that can be traced back to this world, also known as the "Dayan".

It is said to have been established more than 3,000 years ago by a monarch who was born with supernatural powers.

Among the current Qiwang surnames, there are four who claim to be nobles from the Dayan period.

It can be seen from this that regardless of whether the Taoist palace's claimed inheritance of ten thousand years is true or false, there is no doubt that its inheritance is long and ancient.

Moreover, Daoyigong not only has an ancient inheritance, but is also extremely powerful.

The sect leaders of the past dynasties were all people in the divine realm, and there were countless divine realms living in seclusion in their palaces.

There are even rumors that there is a way to become an immortal in Daoyi Palace.

Those once all-powerful figures in the divine realm did not really die. Instead, they all became immortals and still practiced on Donghua Mountain.

However, the Taoist Palace rarely interferes in worldly disputes, and most people spend their entire lives on Donghua Mountain.

The last recorded large-scale attack by the Taoist Palace was two thousand years ago when Buddhism came to the west and spread its religion in Yongzhou.

Even the fact that it can support people to become state pastors only came forward two hundred years ago in order to deal with the Baolin Temple, the most sacred place in Buddhism.

But in fact, it just has this name.

Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, no one has ever been supported by Dao Yi Palace to become a state pastor.

Now that Cui Heng heard that the disciples of Youdao Palace wanted to visit him, he immediately had some thoughts.

"Sir, please read this." Hui Shi held a letter in both hands and presented it to Cui Heng.

"Yes." Cui Heng took the letter and looked through it. He immediately understood what Lu Zhengming meant. After thinking for a while, he nodded and smiled, "Send the message back to Xiling County and ask Lu Zhengming to tell Daochang Zhou that he can come to Lu County to see me at any time.

."

"Yes, sir!" Huishi resigned and left in a hurry after accepting the order.

"It's a sharp blade!" Cui Heng looked at Hui Shi's back and couldn't help but sigh.

Hui Shi is now the busiest person around Cui Heng. He has already taken charge of eight Fu counties and is fully responsible for the implementation of government decrees in these places.

There are only twenty-one counties in Lu County.

This time he returned to the county town to report on his duties, and he would leave again soon to implement administrative orders in the ninth county.

It is foreseeable that there will be another round of heads falling.

If it were anyone else, holding such a sharp blade in their hands, they would probably not dare to let it go again.

Cui Heng is different.

After all, this sharp blade was forged by himself.

Wait until Hui Shi leaves.

Cui Heng returned to the inner hall of the official office, spread out a piece of rice paper, and wrote a name on it with his pen.

Zhou Hongyi.

This was the Taoist priest who found Lu Zhengming in Xiling County and wanted to come to Lu County to see him. He was a disciple of Zhang Shuming, the master of Taoist Palace.

In today's world, he is definitely a very important figure.

"If you want to get the position of Fengzhou Mu, maybe you can win the support of the Dao First Palace."

The corners of Cui Heng's mouth raised slightly.

Although Dao Yigong has never supported anyone since ancient times, if he wants to, there are many ways to get Zhang Shuming to come in person and beg him to accept Dao Yigong's support.

This was already confirmed when Cui Heng learned that Zhou Hongyi did not write from Juhe County, but from Xiling County.

…

It is different from Zhang Shuming's emphasis on detachment from the world and separation from the world of mortals.

Zhou Hongyi believed that practicing Taoism and martial arts also requires walking around the world frequently and having more contact with ordinary people.

Only in this way can we get closer to the true path.

Therefore, although he has only been in Xiling County for more than half a month, he has already become familiar with most of the people in the city, and even has a few friends with whom he talks about everything.

This is certainly related to the fact that Xiling County has just suffered a military disaster and its population is very low, but Zhou Hongyi's communication skills are obviously beyond doubt.

And he doesn't do it deliberately when interacting with people. He really enjoys the feeling of getting along with ordinary people in the most ordinary way.

This is Zhou Hongyi’s attitude towards spiritual practice.

Every evening at dusk, he would come to the south of the city under a big locust tree, play a few games of chess with some old men in their sixties or seventies, and chat by the way.

"Haha, robbery!"

An old man with half of his teeth smiled and made a move, eating one of Zhou Hongyi's chess pieces, and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhou, you seem to be a little absent-minded during the past two days of chess."

Zhou Hongyi's talent is extremely high, and he has already stepped into the innate world when he was in his twenties. Although he is now in the interior, he is still in his early thirties, and from the appearance, he is only about 20 years old.

Naturally, he was called Xiao Zhou by these old men.

"Haha, Uncle Chen, have you noticed all this?" Zhou Hongyi made a move and easily broke the chess game. He said with a smile, "A few days ago, I sent a greeting card to the prefect of Lu County through the Lord Commander.

I don’t know if I will accept it, but I’m a little nervous.”

The disciples of Daoyigong mostly respect ancient rituals. If there is no recommendation from someone familiar, it is extremely impolite to rashly visit a senior with whom you have not interacted.

Therefore, he would first find Lu Zhengming and then send a greeting card to Cui Heng.

"So that's it." Uncle Chen immediately laughed when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, Cui Taishou will definitely meet you. He is a living god and the best person in the world."

"Xiao Zhou, don't you know? Old Chen is actually from Dachang County in the east. He moved here with the county magistrate." An old man next to him said, "Old Chen has met the Cui Prefect.

."

"There is such a connection." Zhou Hongyi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Uncle Chen, I heard that Cui Taishou has the power to control wind and rain. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes on the city wall that day." Old Chen was very excited when he talked about this, and his saliva flew everywhere.

Standing alone on the city wall... I saw him wave his big hand, and a big hole opened in the clear sky. The water of the Milky Way poured down, and hundreds of thousands of people who were rebelling against the bandits were turned upside down on the spot..."

This was obviously what the storyteller said, and it immediately caused several old men nearby to murmur.

"Old Chen, didn't you say last time that Cui Cui poured a bowl of water and caused a violent storm?"

"The Yan rebel army at that time probably only had 40,000 to 50,000 people. Old Chen, Xiao Zhou is asking you seriously, don't keep boasting."

"Even if Cui Taishou is really a living god, you can't brag like that. Tell the truth."

…

Uncle Chen was a little embarrassed by what he said, and he said with some embarrassment: "Hey, actually, I was a little timid at that time. I didn't dare to go up to the city wall to defend the city. I only stood on a high place and saw the violent storm, lightning and thunder outside the city from a distance.

, I also heard that Cui Taishou splashed water and caused wind and rain.

"You just need to remember that Cui Taishou is a living god and a great good man. Don't worry about anything else. This must be true! I have to leave first, otherwise my old lady will have to take me back to eat."

After saying that, he put down the chess pieces and left at a trot. Although he was almost seventy years old, his steps were still very nimble.

"Hahaha, Uncle Chen's speech is still so funny." Zhou Hongyi also put it down, stood up and saluted several old people to say goodbye, "The juniors will leave first."

In fact, in the past half month, he had inquired about Cui Heng many times in Xiling County. Almost everyone who came from Juhe County spoke with certainty, and many people even saw it with their own eyes.

Passed.

However, with more than twenty years of martial arts training and an understanding of the realm of martial arts, Zhou Hongyi found it difficult to believe that such a method of throwing water into trouble could exist in the world.

too exaggerated.

As the direct disciple of the Headmaster of the First Palace of Dao, he will most likely become the next Headmaster of the First Palace of Dao, and he naturally knows a lot about the realm of martial arts.

Although he only has the inside view now, he already knows what the divine realm can and cannot do. He even knows what human immortals and earthly immortals can and cannot do.

Calling wind and rain, destroying an army of 50,000 people at the snap of a finger, even the earthly immortals in the upper realm cannot do it. Whether the heavenly immortals can do it is still open to question.

This made Zhou Hongyi full of curiosity about Cui Heng.

If Cui Heng can really control the wind and rain——

Could it be that the stars falling like rain in Xiling County and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of King Yan's troops in one night had something to do with him?

Like Zhang Shuming, he did not believe that there was any so-called divine punishment. What happened to Xiling County that day must have been man-made.

Heaven and earth are so unkind that they regard all things as stupid dogs!
