Chapter 89

"Taoist priest Qingzhi, I'm polite here."

"Chen Du knows you're welcome..."

"I don't know where the master inherits and which fairy mountain he practices in?"

"My sect is called Wudang. It's just a small mountain sect. Chen Du knows it. Maybe he hasn't heard of it? It's really not worth mentioning..."

Lu Zhi and Chen both know to ask and answer, but Lu Zhi is too lazy to promise him anything. He just replied to him casually, which is very perfunctory.

The general inquiry of "checking his household registration" really made him feel a little impatient, and his face was quite cold. Even if Zhao Ji interrupted, Lu Zhi never showed a good face to the old eunuch.

After all, Lu Zhi never had much awe of this secular power, and he didn't have to please anything. His face was impatient and cold. There is no half hidden.

He is not afraid of the old eunuch's hatred. If it's a big deal, just leave directly. With his ability, where can't he live in the world?

At most, he can't rub the Taoist collections in Duanwang's house in the future. However, he has read the books in Duanwang's house, including those Confucian literati works, in the past two months. Even if he leaves now, he won't feel too much pity.

Lu Zhi's performance is so obvious that the old eunuch can't see it, but his face doesn't show any difference. I don't know whether the city government is too deep or whether he really doesn't mind Lu Zhi's cold face.

"It's time for the next morning. I'll go back to the palace and resume my life. I won't bother Taoist Qingzhi any more."

Seeing that he really couldn't find out more information, Chen Du knew that he simply didn't entangle anymore. He left with a very witty farewell.

"Ah, Taoist priest Qingzhi, why did you offend Chen Duzhi so much? Although he only knows, in fact, he can speak very well at the imperial brother."

"If Chen Du knows to go back this time and slander you severely in the imperial brother, Taoist Qingzhi may lose your chance to become an official."

As soon as the old eunuch left, Zhao Ji said to Lu Zhi with a sad face.

Lu Zhi disagreed: "so what? I'm a monk outside. What's the meaning of this secular power to me?"

"But..." Zhao Ji was worried about Lu Zhi, but seeing Lu Zhi's indifferent appearance, he had nothing to say.

Originally, the opportunity for Lu Zhi to become an official was Lu Zhi recommended by him to Zhao Xu, but he didn't think that Lu Zhi was not interested in it at all, which inevitably discouraged him.

On the other hand, when Chen Duzhi returned to the palace and reported to Zhao Xu, it was contrary to what Lu Zhi and Zhao Ji thought. Instead of saying anything bad about Lu Zhi in front of Zhao Xu, he praised Zhao Xu's ability.

Although he couldn't find out the details of Lu Zhi, he could also feel the pure Yang Taoist rhyme from Lu Zhi. This unique ethereal and carefree meaning of Taoism can't be fake.

So even if he hasn't found out his depth for the time being, Chen Duzhi still proposed to Zhao Xu that it would be a great thing if he could find a way to win over Lu Zhi and let him be used by them in the great song dynasty.

So, three days later.

"The edict has arrived!"

It's still Chen who knows, but this time it's a little different. This time he came with the imperial edict written by Zhao Xu himself.

Lu Zhishang, Chen Duzhi of the previous dynasty, made a Taoist ceremony Lu Zhi knew the content of this imperial edict from Zhao Ji before. Today is a passing ceremony.

I have to say that Chen Duzhi and Zhao Xu are still very smart. He specially found Zhao Ji and asked Lu Zhi about his hobbies.

After learning that he had accepted Zhao Ji's sacrifice for the sake of carrying the Taoist collection in the palace, several people thought at that time, why not take this as their favorite?

Therefore, under the encouragement of Zhao Ji, Zhao Xusheng had the idea of sealing Lu Zhi as an official of a scholar of Hanlin and asking him to supervise the carving of Wanshou daozang.

As mentioned earlier, almost all the emperors of the Song Dynasty were followers of Taoism. At that time, when Shenzong of the Song Dynasty was in power, the imperial court had the idea of collecting Taoism books in the world and compiling a longevity Taoist collection to ensure the eternal prosperity of the great song dynasty.

Unfortunately, song Shenzong was still busy with the reform and had no energy and time to complete it.

Now, Zhao Xu suddenly remembered this matter because of Lu Zhizhi, and thought that he would simply take the opportunity to do it.

Over the years, several of his Zhao Xu's children have died early one after another. He also wants to use this matter to pray for his future children, so as not to really end up with no future.

His move really scratched Lu Zhi's itch. After some consideration, Lu Zhi finally decided to accept it.

After all, this is an opportunity to compile longevity Taoist collection!

After more than 10 years, the famous civil servant named Huang Sang was also able to understand the nine Yin Manual of martial arts from the perspective of the imperial carving of martial arts.

What Lu Zhi lacks now is the accumulation of martial arts ideas. If he can get this opportunity, maybe he can take this opportunity to walk out of his own road.

So for him, this is what he dreams of, and there is no reason to refuse.

It's just to be the Minister of Lao Zhao's family for a few days in name. It's not to let him shave his hair and wear it easily. He can't talk about any sense of resistance in his heart.

Therefore, after Duan Wang's residence dedicated to Taoists, Lu Zhi changed again and became a fourth grade imperial scholar in the Song Dynasty. He was responsible for searching the world's Taoist books and revising and compiling the longevity Taoist collection.

The next day, Lu Zhi went to the school bookstore and took office. Zhao Xu also issued an imperial edict, ordering all Taoist temples in the Song Dynasty to copy a copy of the Taoist books hidden in the temple, transfer them to Bianliang, Tokyo, and proofread and compile them into a Wanshou Taoist collection.

For a time, a steady stream of Taoist books were sent to the school bookstore from all over the world. Lu Zhi was also very responsible for carefully reading and studying each Taoist book, checking the mistakes and omissions, and secretly pondering the essence of the Scripture.

Time is in a hurry. In a twinkling of an eye, it is half a year later.

On this day, Chen Duzhi suddenly appeared in the school bookstore and found Lu Zhi.

Although Lu Zhi's sense of the gloomy old eunuch has not been very good, he is still working under Lao Zhao's family, so after hearing the letter from his clerk, Lu Zhi still took the time to see him.

"I don't know why Chen Duzhi came to the school bookstore?"

Chen Mao (original name) first sent out the Taoists and clerks who were busy proofreading Taoist books in the room, then took out a small yellow fold and said.

"This is the official oracle." Chen Mao first handed the small fold to Lu Zhi, and then continued, "recently, many Jianghu Xiake have been killed in the Jianghu. Even Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the beggars' sect, has been poisoned by traitors."

"This matter not only makes the Jianghu jittery, but also the officials pay great attention to it."

"In recent years, the disciples of the beggars' sect have made a lot of contributions in the war between the great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty, so we can't sit idly by and watch the murder of the deputy leader of the beggars' sect."

"After all, it's too strange. It's likely that the Xixia elite, or the people of Tubo and Daliao deliberately came to the territory of the Song Dynasty to provoke the Wulin of the Song Dynasty to fight with each other."

"Therefore, the officials ordered us to investigate the cause and effect of this matter and restore the stability of our great song Wulin as soon as possible."

"And I thought about it and thought that the only person who is most suitable to do this is Taoist Lu Zhi."

Lu Zhi: "...."

He glanced at Zhao Xu's Oracle in his hand, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

"Are the officials in charge of the Jianghu?"

If he remembers correctly, it seems that the imperial court of the great song dynasty did not appear in the book Tianlong, let alone intervene in the affairs of the Jianghu.
