The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

Chapter 690: Sin In The Present Age, Merit In The Autumn Of 1000

Dan room

Chunyang Taoist walked back and looked at the shattered alchemy furnace that was emitting billowing black smoke and sighed, then wrote the formula on the paper.

This is how many times he has failed.

After writing down the recipe, Taoist Master Chunyang put down his pen and turned his head to look at Tian Shuzi who came from the ancestral court of Taoism and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The middle-aged Tian Shuzi bowed respectfully to Taoist Priest Chunyang and said, "Uncle Chunyang is now the elder of my Taoist sect. This disciple came here today to invite my uncle to return to the ancestral court to take over the Taoist sect."

Taoist Master Chunyang shook his head and said: "Poverty Daoist only knows some medical skills pill refining, how can He De take over the Daoist sect?"

Tian Shuzi said: "This is not the disciple's decision, but the decision of the various Taoist chiefs in the sect. Master Chunyang's virtue is highly respected, especially in the capital of Chu State, where there are many believers. How can we not afford it?"

Taoist Master Chunyang smiled and said: "Master's lifelong wish of being a poor Taoist has not been fulfilled, how can he leave here? There are also a few highly respected brothers and sisters in the Taoist sect who are still in the world and can take on great responsibilities."

Tian Shuzi said: "Throughout the ages, how many ancestors hoped to refine the Gold Core to seek longevity, but in the end they all ended in vain. Why is Master Chunyang so persistent?"

Taoist Master Chunyang waved his hand and said: "When people are old, they have a persistence in their hearts. Sometimes success or failure is actually not that important."

Tian Shuzi said: "But...Junior heard that Master Chunyang gave the formula of every scrap pill to the court of Chu State, and that's why the court of Chu State made firearms?"

Priest Chunyang nodded and said, "Yes."

Tianshuzi said with complicated eyes: "Uncle Chunyang, do you know how many people in Zhou Kingdom were slaughtered by those firearms and thunder? How many people in the world should be slaughtered in the future? Uncle! A matter of peace? Isn’t uncle afraid of becoming that eternal sinner?”

Taoist Chunyang sighed and said, "Tianshuzi, the state of Chu has been established for sixty years, but do you know how many years the world has been in chaos? When the poor Taoist monk became a monk, the world was in chaos, and the princes rose together. The common people; the strife among heroes destroyed the country, even before the present Three Kingdoms, they invaded each other, causing countless deaths and injuries every year, and the Central Plains has not been stable for a long time."

Tian Shuzi pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Chunyang means that Uncle Chunyang is tired of the disputes in the world and thinks it's time for the world to unify?"

Priest Chunyang nodded and said: "That's right, the world is uncertain, so how can the common people talk about living and working in peace and contentment?"

Tianshuzi said: "But this will kill a lot of people?"

Taoist Chunyang said: "If the Central Plains continues to fight, more people will die in the world."

Hearing this, Tian Shuzi felt admiration in his heart, and said, "My disciple admires the Realm of my uncle."

Daoist Chunyang sighed and said, "Actually, this is not the fundamental reason why Pindao handed over the gunpowder formula to the imperial court."

"No?" Tianshuzi asked suspiciously, "Then what else could be the reason?"

Priest Chunyang said: "Pindao Master took in a disciple last year."

Tian Shuzi was surprised and said: "Accept apprentices on behalf of the master? What kind of ability does that person have to make the uncle accept apprentices on behalf of the master? Could it be that the elder brother handed over the gunpowder formula because of him?"

Priest Chunyang nodded and said, "Not bad."

Tianshuzi asked: "What did he tell Uncle Chunyang?"

Taoist Master Chunyang said: "In addition to the Central Plains, there are grasslands in the north of Chu and Zhou, Tubo to the west of Zhao State, and the Western Regions to the west of Zhou State. What if they made gunpowder first?"

When Tianshuzi heard this, his back felt cold and he said: "With a sharp weapon in your heart, you will kill yourself!"

Taoist Master Chunyang nodded and said: "Yes, the three countries in the Central Plains all have their own enemies, especially the grasslands and Tubo these years, who are ready to move against me in the Central Plains. If we don't make firearms, others will. How do you deal with yourself?"

Tian Shuzi pursed his lips and said, "This junior of Uncle Chunyang is far-sighted."

Taoist Master Chunyang nodded and said: "Pindao, this junior brother once told him that although my family members who were born in the past are not at home, they are in the country."

"Instead of waiting for the rise of foreign races around us to conspire against us in the Central Plains, it is better to preemptively strike, never to cause future troubles, to expand the territory, to establish a foundation for thousands of years, and to create an inexhaustible achievement."

Hearing this, Tianshuzi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I never thought that one of my uncle's juniors would have such great ambitions. I really want to meet another uncle in Anding County."

Taoist Chunyang said with a smile: "You stay here for a few more days, and you will see him. Although he is young, he has many views on this world that are beyond the reach of the poor. The poor have also benefited a lot from him."

Tianshuzi smiled and said: "Yes, according to that uncle's words, he doesn't look like a monk, but like a majestic general."

Priest Chunyang smiled kindly: "Although he is a layman, he probably doesn't want to be a general anymore, but Pindao thinks he is right. Instead of waiting for the barbarian's firearms to fall on us, it is better for me to be a general." Hit them on the head with a firearm."

Tianshuzi smiled wryly and said: "My Taoist school always advocates governance by doing nothing, and the way is natural. If you act like this and deliberately conquer other tribes, isn't that uncle afraid of karma?"

Taoist Chunyang said; "Pindao asked him that too."

Hearing this, Tianshuzi asked, "How does that uncle answer?"

Priest Chunyang said: "The crime lies in the present, and the merit lies in the future."

Tianshuzi continued with a wry smile and said: "It seems that the Realm of the two uncles, Junior will be difficult to achieve in this lifetime."

Taoist Priest Chunyang stood up and said: "It's getting dark now, you'd better rest early, and wait until tomorrow to take a good look at the scenery around the capital."

Tianshuzi saluted; "Yes!"

at night

Two burly masked men fell from the courtyard wall of Chunyang Taoist Temple. They were entrusted by the commander to come here to steal the gunpowder formula. If they couldn't steal the gunpowder formula, they could tie the old man and steal go back.

But... so many rooms, where does the old man live?

The two hid behind a rockery and looked around for a long time, but they didn't see why.

One of them asked in a low voice, "Which room does the old Taoist live in?"

Another person replied in a low voice: "I don't know, Agula and General Chengji didn't tell us when we came here."

The former widened his eyes and said, "Then what should we do?"

The latter pursed his lips and said, "How about we look for them one by one?"

The former said: "I heard from Agula that the old Taoist likes pill refining very much, so will his residence be very close to Danfang?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind them: "Well, yes, very smart."
