Chapter 74: Yan Ding Mansion
Yanding Prefecture is the gate of the capital and the most important gateway to the capital. Anyone who wants to go to the capital by land must pass here in the south.
The capital is densely populated and requires a large amount of wealth and goods, so the caravans passing by Yanding Prefecture are like dragons and endless.
There is another canal channel that supports the Great Zhou Shenjing and absorbs wealth from the world.
When Kong Chenzi arrived here, there were caravans on both sides, front and back. The wheels were rolling on the avenue, and the voices of people and horses were neighing. He also saw an envoy from the Dongyu Kingdom, pulling some rare treasures obtained from the East Sea.
Looking at the tall city wall in the distance, General Donkey was eager to try again.
It seems like I am calculating how many city walls I have conquered. The higher the city, the more conquered it feels.
"Master! Are we going directly in this time?" General Donkey's hooves rubbed the dust, raised the chance of dust, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
"Watching General Donkey Flying Over This City Wall is like taking objects out of his bag, and it's as easy as turning his back."
Kong Chenzi slapped the donkey's head: "We are not the one who crows and dogs, how can we always climb over the wall?"
Kong Chenzi pointed to the city gate in the distance, looking at the scene of the endless caravans engulfing like a river.
"Of course this time I walked in from the main entrance."
The Great Immortal Kong Chenzi sorted out the spotless Bagua Cloud Pattern Taoist Robe, and put a long-haired round golden crown on his head. Although the golden crown is simple, the patterns on it reveal exquisiteness.
He inserted the jade hairpin again to reveal the jade pendant on his waist. He was so immoral and elegant, and a real immortal living.
Kong Chenzi nodded with satisfaction and quietly put the bronze mirror into his arms. Today, he was still as handsome as usual, without any rivals.
Drive the donkey guardian quickly towards Yanding Mansion: "High up your back, hold your head up and your chest up, and follow the master to see the beauty of this capital."
"General Donkey received the order!" The donkey ran all four hooves, raising the dust and sand all the way, and many people exclaimed.
For the first time, everyone discovered that the donkey could run so fast.
There is a table in the corridor of the city gate. A city gate official sat in front of the table, holding a brush, recording the origin of the people who passed by.
The city gates all enter ordinary people, and the caravans have to circle around and enter through the city gate to the east. The registration of the place is more strict and detailed, and the types and names of the goods must be recorded.
The Taoist rode a donkey and stopped at the table. The city gate official raised his head and looked at him with a pen, nodded: "Oh! It turns out that he is a practitioner from the outside world."
The saints and emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty admired Taoism and admired Buddhism, so the capital still respected Taoist monks very much, and they also had some preferential treatments.
In addition to the extraordinary demeanor of the Taoist Taoist in front of him, the city gate official asked carefully: "Does Taoist Master have a certificate of tribute?"
Gao Xian was stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but touch his cuffs, but he immediately stopped moving.
Looking back, Tianyun Temple is a small temple in the deep mountains and forests, and it belongs to a temple of the Three Nostalgia. It is not certain whether the old Taoist priest has a certificate of sanctions. Even if there is one, it is probably a certificate of sanctions from the previous dynasty. How can we recognize it today?
Not to mention myself, I belong to the Taoist priest You Fang who has no certificate of vassals.
The city gate official saw the Taoist's sudden stopping action, and his original respectful attitude became suspicious.
"The Taoist priest may have gone down the mountain for the first time, but he didn't bring it or recorded it? If he could recite the Taishang Resonance Chapter, it would be considered you've passed it." The city gate official looked more flexible.
The Taishang Ganying Chapter is a Taoist classic. As long as you are a disciple of the Taoist sect, you will usually recite it, especially in the capital where the Taoist style is particularly strong, most scholars will recite it.
“…”
When Kong Chenzi was on the mountain, he was busy meditating, seeking immortality every day, and practicing the supreme dream scriptures. Since he went down the mountain, he has eliminated demons and defended the way. Where did you come from to memorize these?
The city gate official immediately looked at the Taoist with a look of a liar in the world. Where can Taoist children not even recite the Taishang Reaction Chapter?
"Tao Te Ching? Is it always good at Tao Te Ching?"
Kong Chenzi touched the Tao Te Ching that was in his chest. Every time he fell asleep, he would recite the Tao Te Ching with it.
But every time I read it halfway, I went to the dream of Duke Zhou. I haven't read the next half yet. However, those idle books and strange stories are extremely exciting to read, and some classic stories are memorized.
The city gate official looked heartbroken and pointed at the Taoist with a pen: "You are so embarrassed to pretend to be a Taoist priest? Are you embarrassed to say that you are a Taoist disciple?"
"Oh!" He shook his head and sighed.
"It's so unprofessional." Now, many people queuing up to enter the city later began to discuss and pointed at the Taoist.
"The Heavenly Lord of Fortune is Vital, these days, there are more and more scammers. The world is getting worse and worse, and people's hearts are not as good as ever!" A man carrying a firewood burden waiting to enter the city also believed in the Tao. He really couldn't see this scene and wanted to come forward and recite the Tao Te Ching loudly, so that this fake Taoist priest could watch and learn well.
"Even young people are not good at learning well. What's wrong with being handsome and talented? Be a liar in the world." An old man in gorgeous clothes also said.
"The Taoist priests are extremely simple and dedicated to the Tao. Look at this person." Someone pointed out the doubts.
Everyone looked at the Taoist man, with silk gossip, golden crown, jade hairpin, and accessories all. There was a jar of wine hanging on the donkey under the seat. When they smelled the wine, they knew it was of great value.
"So unreasonable and so extravagant and greedy for pleasure, I must be a fake Taoist priest!"
Everyone should follow suit and give the scammers a sex.
The Great Immortal Kong Chen, who killed the Yinhua Demon, destroyed the Five Gods Sects, and solved the disasters in Lingzhou, and the true immortals who were admired and worshipped by countless people all the way. As soon as he entered the capital, Yanding Mansion, he was beaten into a fake Taoist priest.
The donkey general under the seat grinned and almost laughed out loud. Both rows of white teeth were lit up but they did not dare to speak out.
However, it could feel it without looking up. Now its master's face is probably how dark it is.
The city gate official stroked a large stroke on the book.
"If there is no certificate, you will be ineffective for entering the city."
With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the wooden cash box beside him and spit out two words.
"Pay the money!"
After that, he added: "If you don't have a certificate of vassal, you will be fined twice as much!"
Everyone cheered in unison, the fake Taoist priest was punished and justice was fulfilled.
The heroic city gate officials were supported by everyone and bowed back to the ceremony, and the noise was not extinguished for a long time.
Only the Taoist was left to enter the city in a dirt face, and left the corridor and went up the street. The sun shone on his body. The Taoist pulled his mouth in vain and covered the jade pendant on his waist.
On the contrary, the donkey general under the seat finally couldn't help it: "Gaqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
"Only after coming without a shadow or leaving without a trace, you will have the style of an immortal."
General Donkey shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that you didn't agree!"
A pair of donkey ears swayed around proudly, vigorously promoting his foresight.
Unfortunately, when I turned my head, I saw a jade whisk throwing out and sucking it on the donkey's butt.
"Ao!"
"Didn't the master say that you are not allowed to speak without permission in the city. Go quickly and don't be too slow."
"Ao!"
Chapter completed!
