Chapter 87

After staying in the inn for half a month, Lu Zhi left after returning to practice Zhenqi again.

But after he left the inn, he was a little confused and didn't know where to go. After all, no Wudang can let him go home in this era.

The feeling of being at a loss makes Lu Zhi very uncomfortable. He doesn't even have a place to return?

Just when Lu Zhi was a little disappointed, suddenly a young man in green hurried to him, put his hands together and saluted him.

"Taoist priest, I'm here to salute you."

Huh? Lu Zhi looked at the man strangely. The man suddenly ran to him and bowed to himself. Why?

"This monk, what can I do for you?"

"Well, the little master's family saw that the Taoist priest was rich and handsome, and had a fairy atmosphere. It suddenly meant to make friends, so they sent the little one to invite the Taoist priest to have a chat, and hoped that the Taoist priest could answer the small job."

Lu Zhi picked his eyebrows. Isn't this similar to the street chat-up of later generations?

"Who is your master's family?" He asked.

"Report back to Taoist priest, the little master's house is the brother of the Holy Lord, Duan Wang."

"Duan Wang, Zhao Ji!" Lu Zhi blurted out directly.

The young man in green looked sluggish, and some didn't know how to respond.

He originally thought that Lu Zhi should readily agree to move out of Zhao Ji's name. He went back with him to take the job, but he didn't think that Lu Zhi was so bold that he dared to openly shout out the name of Duanwang.

Lu Zhi was also a little stunned. Zhao Ji couldn't fight with his eight poles. How could he find him?

however... Lu Zhi really had some interest in him and wanted to see what kind of person Zhao Ji, the famous fatuous song Huizong of later generations, was.

"OK, since it's Duan Wang's invitation, I won't refuse. Lead the way."

"Well, the little one will lead you."

Not long after, the young man in Green took Lu Zhi into the second floor of an elegant restaurant. Lu Zhi also met the famous artist emperor, Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was also very warm and polite. As soon as Lu Zhi went upstairs, he had got up to meet each other and said with a smile on his face.

"The Taoist priest, Zhao Ji, the king, took the liberty to send servants to invite him. He is really happy to see the Taoist priest. I hope the Taoist priest will not be surprised."

Lu Zhi looked at him carefully. Zhao Ji is still a 15-year-old boy, but he looks like a handsome young master.

"Your Highness Duan, I'm polite."

Lu Zhi returned a salute to him as usual, and then asked, "I don't know your highness Duanwang looking for me, but what's the matter?"

"Ha ha, nothing, nothing." Zhao Ji smiled, waved his hand and said, "but when I was drinking on the second floor, I saw the Taoist priest's figure by chance. I was immediately attracted by the Taoist priest's unique dust style. I couldn't help thinking and wanted to invite the Taoist priest to have a drink with me."

Lu Zhi nodded, and then he didn't feel much strange. The Song Dynasty worshipped Taoism. Whether it was the scholar bureaucrat class, the common people, or even the Royal people, they all worshipped Taoism very much.

Therefore, many dignitaries and dignitaries are home residents with Taoist names. Even some people will specially build a family view at home and invite Taoist priests to worship at home.

When Lu Zhi was still living in the inn, the inn clerk sent a message to him on behalf of others to invite him to practice at home. When he went to the hall for dinner, someone always came to talk and invite him to drink.

Thus, it can be seen how popular Taoists were in the Song Dynasty, especially those like Xiang Lu Zhi, who really had a good appearance, were fragrant cakes everywhere.

Looking at Zhao Ji, Lu Zhi suddenly thought that this one seemed to be one of the representatives of advocating Taoism. Later generations were also known as the "master Taoist emperor". After he became emperor, he even jokingly self styled himself a series of Taoist names.

So it seems reasonable for him to suddenly rise and invite himself to drink?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi couldn't help smiling. Although Zhao Ji is a completely confused king in governing the world, he is a very interesting person.

"Since your highness Duan Wang invited me, I naturally willingly obeyed."

Lu Zhi was not polite, so he went forward and sat down.

"Ha ha, Taoist priest is really happy." Zhao Ji was also happy. Even if he told the young man in green to say, "ah man, let the shopkeeper green the best bamboo leaves. I want to drink with the Taoist priest today!"

Nowadays, Quanzhen religion has not yet been affected. The Taoists of this era do not have many rules and regulations, so Zhao Ji will say these words without thinking.

After ordering the servants, the wine and vegetables were soon brought up. While pouring the wine, Zhao Ji talked to Lu Zhipan: "by the way, I don't know the long name taboo, how to call it? Where to practice?"

"My name is Lu Zhi, and my name is Qing Zhi. Your highness Duan Wang can call me Qing Zhi. As for the place of practice... I have practiced in Wudang Mountain until now."

"It's Taoist priest Qingzhi. Please drink this cup to make friends with the king."

Lu Zhi couldn't help but take the glass and drink it up.

It has to be said that Zhao Ji is really a very interesting and knowledgeable person. Although he is a little frivolous and dissolute, his speech is quite extraordinary. He is also right when talking about various Taoist classics and terms.

Moreover, Lu Zhi has never heard of many interpretations of Taoist Scriptures. After all, in later generations, after the two great turmoil of Jin and yuan, I don't know how many precious Taoist classics were scattered and lost in the chaotic war.

Seeing that Lu Zhi would ask himself a few Taoist scriptures from time to time, Zhao Ji was also surprised and asked, "Taoist priest, haven't you read these Taoist Scriptures?"

Lu Zhi nodded: "no, there are no Taoist collections in Wudang."

Zhao Ji nodded thoughtfully, thinking that Lu Zhi was born in a small mountain temple, and there were not many Taoist Scriptures in the temple.

After all, in ancient times, any books and classics were very precious, especially those collected by Taoism. I don't know how many of them existed alone.

If a royal man like him could collect these Taoist collections with the help of the imperial court, it would be very difficult for ordinary Taoists to have the opportunity to see too many Taoist Scriptures.

"Well." Zhao Ji suddenly said, "if the Taoist priest doesn't dislike it, it's better to go to the king's palace and offer sacrifices for the king for a few days. The Sutra Pavilion in the king's palace can be read by the Taoist priest."

Lu Zhi's expression moved and glanced at Zhao Ji. Is this boy's idea?

However, the Taoist collections hidden in King Zhao Ji's residence are indeed very attractive to Lu Zhi. Moreover, Zhao Ji is still the Lord. In his capacity, it is not difficult to collect more Taoist collections.

For a time, Lu Zhi was really excited.

Seeing Lu Zhi pondering, Zhao Ji asked again, "what do you think of Taoist priest Qingzhi? Please be relieved. I have no other thoughts. I just want to invite Taoist priest to my palace as a sacrifice."

"If the Taoist priest wants to leave in the future, the king will never force him to stay. As for this, can't Taoist priest Qingzhi make a decision?"

Zhao Ji really meant what he said. He really had no other thoughts about Lu Zhi. He just saw that his temperament was extraordinary and made people feel good, so he invited him.

After pondering for a few seconds, Lu Zhi also felt that he might as well stay with Zhao Ji in Duan Wang's house for a few days. Anyway, he has nowhere to go now. He can not only rub a free library and read Taoist classics in Duan Wang's house, why not.

After all, he didn't work for Zhao Ji. He just went to rub daozang. There's no need to be so hypocritical.

"In this case, I'd better obey orders than respect."
