In the fourth year of Zhenghe, although it was early January, the north was still cold and windy.
There is falling white snow in the sky, and the ground is already pure white, making the earth look like a world covered in silver.
After years of publicity, the name of Erxian Mountain Zixu Guanluo Zhenren can be said to be widely famous in Jizhou.
Although the weather was cold, the believers were still not afraid to go up the mountain with their incense to listen to Master Luo talking about the method of immortality.
Gongsun Sheng waited for the large number of gifts that Shi Jin asked people to buy and went up the mountain to Zixu Temple in Erxian Mountain where Zhenren Luo was.
The Taoist temple of Luo Zhenren is not comparable to those grand Taoist temples in Maoshan and Longhu Mountain.
Those Taoist temples often cover hundreds of acres and are magnificent.
It is truly a majesty.
The Erxian Mountain is just a small mountain, and the Zixu Temple is also a small temple, covering an area of only a few acres.
It is not much better than those City God Temples, and is very shabby.
When Gongsun Sheng came, Master Naluo was preaching and explaining the method of immortality.
In the misty incense, a man with a gray beard, over sixty years old, with an extraordinary temperament, a ruddy complexion, an elegant expression, and an ancient look is sitting on a stone rock.
He was using yin and yang to pause and pronounce words clearly to explain to the believers the way to live forever.
Many believers sat with their hands folded and listened closely.
When Gongsun Sheng walked into the Taoist temple, he saw his master preaching.
He didn't dare to disturb, so he patiently sat in the last row and waited respectfully.
In fact, as early as when Gongsun Sheng entered the Taoist temple, the sharp-eyed Master Luo discovered his great disciple.
It's just that Zhenren Luo deliberately ignored Gongsun Sheng, just to see how Gongsun Sheng's character was after going down the mountain to practice for several years.
Gongsun Sheng's ability to hold back his temper made Zhen Luo very satisfied.
After explaining for more than two hours, a crisp bell rang, and Master Luo's explanation for the day came to an end.
Under the respectful greetings of all the believers, Master Luo walked slowly towards the back of Zixu Temple.
When Gongsun Sheng saw it, he quickly followed.
Entering the backyard, Gongsun Sheng hurriedly and respectfully greeted Zhenren Luo.
Master Luo didn't speak, but motioned Gongsun Sheng to follow him.
The Zixu Temple was not built in a grand manner, and Master Luo's own residence was even more simple.
In the backyard of Zixu Temple, a simple three-room thatched house is where Luo Zhenren lives.
In order to create a place where the master lives, even if the courtyard is simple, Luo Zhenren designed it full of poetic elegance.
The elegant thatched cottage, with a few ancient pine trees, green bamboos and wisteria twining beside it, really makes it look like a leisurely and contented poetic state.
There are only a few tables in the thatched hut in the middle of the yard, which is very simple.
The only valuable thing is probably the bronze Laozi preaching incense burner on the desk that has been passed down for countless generations and is lighting a faint scent of incense.
Once you enter the hut, you don't need to follow the two Taoist boys who serve Luo Zhenren.
Gongsun Sheng quickly took out the teapot and teacups and put them on the table.
At this time, Master Luo sat down and kept his eyes closed, waiting.
Time passed little by little, Gongsun Sheng didn't say anything, he just boiled water and washed the tea bowl.
When the water boiled, Gongsun Sheng put the new tea leaves brought from Liangshan into the teapot, poured in the boiling water, and respectfully brought the teacup to the master Luo Zhenren.
"Master, this is the tea that my eldest brother Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin asked people to test many times before developing it.
Although it is light, it has an endless aftertaste.
Please give it a try, master."
Luo Zhenren picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and said: "It's light, slightly bitter but sweet and has an endless aftertaste.
It's very suitable for our Taoism's natural, concise, simple, pure and lofty way."
Gongsun Sheng smiled and said, "I knew the master would like it.
This time I brought a lot of disciples.
Master, my eldest brother respects you very much.
I want to invite you to come and practice together.
Originally, he intended to come to ask for advice in person." , but he is busy with mundane matters during this time, so he has to entrust his apprentice to come.

Please don’t take offense, master."
When Luo Zhenren saw that his eldest disciple Gongsun Sheng had returned, he knew what this disciple was doing.
For a moment, Master Luo fell into deep thought.
The two sat across from each other.
Zhenren Luo didn't speak, and Gongsun Sheng didn't speak either, just waiting quietly.
He was very calm and followed Luo Zhen to taste tea and observe without saying a word.
But as time went by, Gongsun Sheng became a little anxious when he saw that the master had not replied yet.
Gongsun Sheng also knew about Shi Jin, although Shi Jin was already quite powerful now.
But on the surface, many people felt that Fang La from Jiangnan was more powerful, while Shi Jin was a bit weaker in terms of momentum.
How should I persuade my master Luo Zhenren to help his elder brother?
Gongsun Sheng thought for a while.
He and his master had been together for many years and knew each other very well.
There was nothing they could do to fool him.
Gongsun Sheng decided to make it clear directly, "Master, my eldest brother has now occupied the three states.
And he will soon take over Mizhou, Laizhou, Dengzhou, and even the whole of Shandong.
He definitely has the strength to dominate the world.
This time my disciple came here to ask the master to come forward and contact other fellow Taoists in the Taoist sect to support and help my elder brother."
Master Luo shook his head when he heard this and said: "Not yet, he must show more strength before I can persuade other sects to support him."
Gongsun Sheng said: "Master, my elder brother Shi Jin has a saying that is very good; the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
These Taoist sects such as Maoshan and Longhushan have been passed down for hundreds of years and have accumulated countless believers.
If we, Erxian Mountain, want to carry forward and become For the leader of Taoism, it is impossible to rely on ordinary methods and can only rely on the power of the court.
But today we are superstitious about Maoshan, Gezao Mountain, and Longhu Mountain.
We can only bet on the Mingjun in the troubled times and gain appreciation, so that we can realize your wish and strengthen our Erxian Mountain.
Only by helping Jiuzhilong Shijin can we get his support and help."
Master Luo was silent for a moment and said: "Disciple, I understand everything you said, but you have to understand that although our Zixu Temple is small, we have many disciples and believers.
Following Shi Jin's rebellion, it is risky to The risk of losing one's head cannot be ignored by the master, and even if I agree with it, just like the other fellow Taoists in the Taoist sect, what's the use of Erxian Mountain alone?"
Gongsun Shengduo Niang followed Luo Zhenren to learn Taoism and knew very well what his master was like.
To put it mildly, it means being cautious; to put it harshly, it means to be cautious.
However, Gongsun Sheng had already made preparations before he came.
Therefore, Gongsun Sheng said sternly to Zhenren Luo: "Master, one moment, another moment.
Before I came, Jiuzunlong Shijin had already promulgated a new tax system to bribe the people of the world.
People's hearts can also use this to show the scribes that my elder brother Shi Jin has the benevolence and righteousness of the world.
If my elder brother has this thing in his hand, the world will belong to him sooner or later."
Gongsun Sheng handed a copy of the tax system to Luo Zhenren with both hands.
When Luo Zhenren heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
What kind of tax would make Gongsun Sheng believe that this world belongs to Jiuwenlong Shijin?
Master Luo took it and fell into deep thought after reading the letter.
Immediately, Zhenren Luo understood Gongsun Shengshe's idea and asked: "This new tax is indeed to win over the hearts of the people in the world, but if it is implemented according to this tax, his income will be greatly reduced.
How can he maintain his income?"
"Expenses for the army, subordinates, etc."
