In the inn room, Yang Yun and County Magistrate Hu sat down opposite each other.

To be honest, Yang Yun was speechless about this era. He was always on the ground mat wherever he went. Later Japanese tatami followed this design. The room was surrounded by the window and lay a kang mat about one foot high from the ground. There was a plan table in the mat. The host and the guest knelt on the ground against the desk table, drinking tea while communicating.

County Magistrate Hu smiled and said, "With today's affairs, the number of believers who believe in Xiao Zhenren will inevitably increase suddenly, and come to seek the truth one after another, but I am afraid that Xiao Zhenren will never get tired of it."

Yang Yun nodded and said, "Because of this, I decided to move out of the official post as soon as possible and hide from Qingjing."

County Magistrate Hu was puzzled when he saw that Yang Yun didn't like to show off his face.

"Other Taoists hope that the world will know that he has supernatural powers. Once he opens the altar, he will inevitably gather many believers and make a fortune. But this little real person regards his reputation as dirt and never thought of making profits with this... Could this be the essential difference between a master and a fool?"

County Magistrate Hu told Yang Yun about the previous contact with the governor's yamen, saying that someone would come soon.

As soon as the words were finished, the postmaster came to report that a distinguished guest was visiting.

County Magistrate Hu hurriedly came out to welcome him and quickly welcomed him into the room. Yang Yun recognized this person as Sun Deneng, the deputy envoy who had been to Shifang before.

Wang Ji also came with Sun Deneng.

Today, Wang Ji changed into a moon-white silk robe, a plain jade belt, black boots, a lacquered saury crown on his head, and a famous sword inlaid with gold and jade on his waist. The style of the wealthy young master was undoubtedly revealed.

Before Yang Yun bowed to the ceremony, Wang Ji had already introduced it to him: "Mr. Sun, don't introduce this person, right? He is a real master, a master of Taoism. I heard that he had taught a lesson from a few arrogant Taoists who came to challenge at the entrance to the inn just now and became famous in one battle."

Sun Deneng had an official position and was not interested in Yang Yun's magic. He came over to say hello to Yang Yun, and then took out a formal attitude.

"The commander of Jiedu is leading the army, and there must be no slack in the military and political affairs in the rear. The talismans you provide need to be continuously manufactured. The craftsmen drawn by the Jiedu Mansion come from the foundry workshop, with superb skills. In addition, how much strength is needed, please explain clearly, and the official will make arrangements when he returns."

Yang Yun said: "A craftsman is enough. There is no need to have too advanced skills. Add a dozen Lifu to help carry and lift... What is missing now is the raw materials. I believe that the magistrate Su County of Shifang County has reported the materials to the Jieshuai Mansion?"

Sun Deneng looked very bad and asked, "Didn't it mean that only after the talisman you wrote was burned and added to the tactile tactile spell can the flame spell take effect?"

Yang Yun thought to himself: "In order to prevent the correct combination of gunpowder from being discovered, I deliberately purchased more charcoal when purchasing raw materials, which almost half of them were taken. Then I drew a simple Taoist talisman as a trick. The people from the Jiedu Mansion must have matched it themselves, but they did not achieve the best effect, so I could only find me."

Yang Yun explained: "To create talismans and to make them work, you must have the blessing of the master's immortal method. You must open an altar before each production, which is not enough to be used to outsiders... I'll ask Mr. Sun to help prepare."

Sun Deneng glanced at Wang Ji impatiently and said, "I will go back and arrange it now, and the venue will be in place tomorrow... The front-line military situation is urgent, so it is best to resume the production of the talisman as soon as possible."

...

...

Sun Deneng didn't have the patience to talk nonsense to Yang Yun, and said goodbye after the communication was completed.

County Magistrate Hu hurriedly sent Sun Deneng away, showing great attentiveness, as if he had something to ask for.

Yang Yun knew very well that it was not right or wrong to socialize in the officialdom. For example, Hu County Wei, an official from the ninth rank, was afraid of being unable to curry favor with local officials from the fifth rank like Sun De could not speak to the Jiedushi. Sometimes, as long as Sun De could say a word to the Jiedushi, Hu County Wei would have a high chance of getting promoted.

Yang Yun is not a person in the officialdom, and social engagements have nothing to do with him... Now he is just an existence similar to a "craftsman" found by the governor Wang Yu. The only difference is that he is wearing the sacred cloak of a Taoist priest.

Wang Ji did not leave, and said with a look of shame: "Master, Chengdu is all under the territory. When you arrive here, you must let the landlords be in the next place."

Yang Yun shook his head: "No need."

Wang Ji's smile remained unabated, "Even if you don't need it, you have to be filial to me... It just so happens that you don't know much about the situation in Chengdu, and you probably don't know much about the delicious and interesting places and historical sites in the city, especially the Shu Dao Sect, who were almost completely disgusted with each other. Just like the Taiyi Sect and Liukong Sect who came before, they are Taoist forces that have been rooted in Chengdu for many years... These are in Xiadu Sect."

Yang Yun didn't want to take Wang Ji's power because he didn't plan to accept Wang Ji as his disciple, and felt that there was no need to owe favors, but he was very interested in what Wang Ji said.

"I'm new to the city and I'm very unfamiliar with everything in Chengdu. With Wang Ji here, I'm equivalent to having a living map."

After thinking about it, Yang Yun said, "Then tell me about the distribution of Taoist forces in Chengdu and even Jiannan Road."

Wang Ji laughed and said, "This is not a place to talk. It's just the meal time. Why not find a restaurant and let's talk about it while drinking?"

"Since that's the case, you can lead the way." Yang Yun said.

...

...

Before leaving the official post, Yang Yun went to the next door to take a look.

The three little girls were already eating around the desk table, and Guanyi provided three meals. Although they were all steamed and cooked large pot dishes, the three Yarou girls ate with relish.

Yang Yun gave a few simple instructions and followed Wang Ji out.

The Leyan House where Yang Yun lives is not only a must-pass place for leaving the city at the north gate of Chengdu, but also a gathering place for business travel from south to north. There are many warehouses and workshops in Yunkai, so naturally there are restaurants and inns.

Walking on the bustling main street, tall walls block the yards, and the black and old bricks show the simplicity of the city.

The pebbles on the road are a bit hurting, but this is the best choice at present and will not be muddy on rainy days.

Wang Ji was very familiar with this place, so he found a two-story building on the South Street, and walked in with a restaurant with flags and banners. After the two went upstairs, they picked up a private room by the window and called for the best wine and food.

"This meal is just to welcome the masters."

Wang Ji smiled and added wine to Yang Yun, "The meager water and wine are not worthy of respect... I have been to this restaurant before. The dishes are novel and the wine is strong enough. The only thing that is the beauty is that the environment here is not very elegant. If you have time to take you to Sanhua Building in the south of the city and see the river view to have wine, that is what you want."

Yang Yun said: "It seems that you are very good at eating, drinking and having fun."

Wang Ji smiled ashamedly: "Actually, I am not a local. I will definitely study the humanistic environment first when I go to another place... The Wuhou Temple, Sanhua Tower, Zhangyi Tower in the west of the city, Qingyang Palace, Daci Temple in the east of the city, Wudan Mountain, Longdi Pond, Wenshu Temple in the north of the city and Maha Pond in the city are all beautiful scenery on earth."

"The only bad thing about Leyanfang is that there are too many people from all walks of life, but it also makes me feel a little more fireworks. It's a good idea to come here to check the customs and customs... By the way, master, how did you teach the old master of the Taiyi Sect and Liukong Sect a lesson just now? I didn't see it with my own eyes, which is a pity."

Yang Yun shook his head and said, "It's said that he is here to fight. In fact, he relies on the large number of people and wants to give me a warning. As a result, you guessed that none of them have real skills. I didn't have much effort to scare them away."

Wang Ji said: "The Liukong Sect is not worth mentioning. Their Taoist temple is outside the Wanli Bridge in the South Gate. There are not many Taoist priests in the temple. They just want to take advantage of the troubled waters and make a reputation by suppressing you, and then absorb believers. They do not want to shoot themselves in the foot. However, the people of Taiyi Sect need to be careful. They are not powerful, but they are backed by Qingyang Palace... This Qingyang Palace is the largest Taoist temple in Chengdu and even Jiannan Road."

Yang Yun became cautious when he heard this.

There is no big Taoist power in Shifang County, but Chengdu is one of the four major metropolises in the country. Taoism, Buddhism and other religions have formed a system, with many believers and strong influence.

For example, the Qingyang Palace, Yang Yun knew that even though he had not come to the Tang Dynasty, it was the largest Taoist temple in Shu, known as the "No. 1 jungle in the southwest" and had a history of more than two thousand years.

He, a man who became a monk halfway through superpowers to maintain his identity as a Taoist priest, must be careful when facing the Qingyang Palace with a profound background, otherwise he will easily fall into a difficult situation.

Wang Ji said again: "Taiyi Sect came to provoke. I guess it is likely that the Taoist priest of Qingyang Palace wanted to test the true and real of the master. There are many famous Taoist priests in Qingyang Palace, and they are famous for their profound magic. In the Dharma Assembly held in Yizhou, nine out of ten people from Qingyang Palace will attend. Now, you are appreciated by the Master of Jie, how can the Taoist priest of Qingyang Palace be willing to do so?"

Yang Yun nodded slightly: "Well, thank you for your reminder."

Wang Ji smiled and said, "But masters don't have to worry. You are a VIP invited by the Jishou, and you are also responsible for creating talismans. They don't have to compete with you."

"But the so-called open guns are easy to avoid hidden arrows and they are hard to defend against. They may be safe in the open, but they are afraid that they will secretly hinder... Hey, they may be able to use their connections to maintain..."

"No."

Yang Yun raised his hand and shook it, directly rejecting Wang Ji's kindness, "The soldiers come to block the generals, and the water comes to cover the soil. I have no intention of making a grudge with others, but if others bully them to the end, I will not let them live a good life."

"I successfully completed the errand entrusted by Duke Wang Jie, and then I will leave Chengdu and go to Luoyang. Oh, by the way, I will also go to the official school to register for my academic qualifications. I may have to study in Chengdu for a period of time, and I have no time to pay attention to the grievances and disputes of Taoism."
