Chapter 276 Palace View System
Such a tragic scene immediately caused exclamations from the people on the side of the road, Xu Dao was slightly startled, and Su Jiu and the three beside him were no exception.

There was a buzz of discussion, and Xu Dao settled down, only to find that besides pity, there were applause and applause in the voices of the people around him.

"Okay, these witches deserve to be arrested!"

He looked over carefully, only to find that the women who were being dragged along had strange looks, their eyes were like beasts, their hair was of different colors, their fingernails were also sharp claws, part of their lower body was naked, and their tails were exposed. It is a pure human form.

Xu Dao suddenly understood why these women were called "demon girls" by some passers-by.But he narrowed his eyes slightly, and doubts arose in his heart.

Because of his eyesight, although he saw demonic aura in these women, he didn't see the resentment of recent murder or cannibalism on the other party, and the captured demonic women were of all kinds, including cat ears, fox ears, pig ears, etc. They are not of the same alien race, but more like Su Jiu and Swordsmen, living people with demonic blood.

"Master, this?" Su Jiu and Swordsman also sensed the clues. Apart from doubts, there was also a look of fear in their eyes. They should be unable to grasp the situation here, and worried that they would also be regarded as monsters. .

Xu Dao glanced at the two of them, and said calmly, "Don't panic."

In addition to observing the woman being dragged along, he naturally also looked at the disciples of Lei Zhao a few times, and as a result, in the opponent's team, he also found living people implanted with demon blood in their bodies. Like a cow.

It's just that the other party concealed it well, like Su Jiu's swordsman, he never showed his demonized appearance to the outside.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Dao thought that it was probably the group of dignitaries who had their eyes on the bodies of these women with demonic blood, and then found a pretext to torture them.

As for the deeper reason, he didn't bother to worry about it, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him for the time being, and since he is new here, he doesn't know the reason, and it's not convenient for him to intervene.

Following the cries of hounds and falcons, a group of more than a dozen disciples of Lei Zhao dragged the "monsters" they had hunted, flaunting their might, and entered the city, leaving only a puff of smoke and dust for the people queuing outside the city to eat.

After this stubble, Xu Dao secretly understood in his heart.

Although it has left the southwest border where demons and ghosts are rampant, the capital city of Wu Kingdom with the Dao Palace sitting in it is obviously not a good place.

Thinking of this, Xu Dao shook his head again, just like what happened just now, whether this place is a good place or not has nothing to do with him.

"I just hope that the Erhai Taoist Palace will not disappoint me and help me find the authentic Taoism."

He withdrew his gaze, woke up the three of Su Jiu, who were in doubt, and told them to continue driving into the city, in order to prevent people from jumping in line and delaying their entry into the city.

Because it was a carriage entering the city, the four of Xu Dao waited in line for half an hour before they entered Wu Du.

Among them, trivial matters such as interrogation by soldiers, because all four of them have cultivation bases, there were no twists and turns.

It's just that when he was about to step into the city, Xu Dao inadvertently glanced at the dragon vein giant on the top of Wudu.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but there seems to be something peeping at him in the cloud, which makes his calm mind stir up again.

Soon, Xu Dao knew that this feeling was not his illusion.

………………

After entering the city, the capital of Wu was densely populated, with a lot of gatherings in the streets and alleys, with cars like flowing water and horses like dragons. It was far more prosperous than any place Xu Dao and the others had seen before.

What opened their eyes even more was that the monks in the city were often seen.

In addition to the occasional dignitaries riding on exotic horses, there are people with mana stationed in every street in the city to maintain order in the city. busy with something.

Except for those mortals in the market who avoid this, they are all accustomed to the scene, and they are worthy of being people in the capital.

After finding a hotel to settle down, Xu Dao sent Su Jiu and the others to do chores, while he walked out of the hotel alone, preparing to learn about the situation in Wudu.

Because he didn't bring Su Jiu with him, Xiao Nizi complained, but Xu Dao couldn't explain too much.

After all, after he was going to change his appearance, he would directly inquire about the news as a Taoist priest who established the foundation. If he brought along an entourage, there would be an additional risk of revealing his identity, which might affect his future plans.

Xu Dao first wandered a few streets in the market, inquired some news from ordinary people, and then wandered around, and came to the ghost city of the city.

This ghost city in Wudu is different from the ghost cities in other places. It is not secretive at all. It is grandly opened on all sides of the city, relying on the laying of demon halls in the east, west, north, south, and north. heard.

Fortunately, Wudu Ghost City also had formations, making it difficult for non-cultivators and high-ranking officials to enter, and Xu Dao didn't have to wait in line to enter the ghost market.

Xu Dao was already very familiar with ghost markets. On the way to Wudu, he had also seen ghost markets in other cities and counties in other counties, all of which were similar.

Therefore, seeing the practitioners walking up and down the streets full of spiritual lights, Xu Dao, apart from anticipation, just hurriedly wanted to inquire about the Erhai Taoist Palace.

After walking a few steps, he saw an attic, and stepped into it.

The title on the pavilion is "Fengwen Pavilion".

It is rumored that this pavilion was established by a Taoist priest. There are branch pavilions in ghost streets around the city. The main business is to sell news and inquire about things.

It is said that although it is a pavilion opened by Taoist priests, and its main customers are also Taoists, it is also very popular among ordinary people and has a wide range of businesses. Xu Dao has heard of it in other states and counties.

After he entered, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly took out a stack of talisman money, and was respectfully invited by the disciples in the pavilion to enter the private room.

Entering the private room, in addition to being served with tea and spiritual food, a good-looking female shopkeeper came over.

The first time the other party saw Xu Dao, he didn't look at the string of money in his hand, but stared at his young face, his eyes were slightly bright.

Holding a whisk in her hand, the female shopkeeper walked up to Xu Dao barefoot, before Xu Dao could speak, she bowed and saluted:
"Pindao has met the guest officer."

The Taoist robe she was wearing was loose, but the neckline was loose. When she walked in, she couldn't tell what was going on, but when her chest lowered, she could see everything clearly.

Xu Dao was looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, when his peripheral vision was flickered, his eyes slipped involuntarily.

Originally, he was able to hold on, but after the female Taoist saluted, she didn't even stand still, so she rubbed against him and swept the dust for Xu Dao with a whisk, acting like a maid.

Xu Dao was no longer the first brother, he chuckled, and threw the thousand-odd talisman money he was carrying on the table next to him, and then sat on the grand teacher's chair with the nun dao in his arms, playing with it.

"Guest officer!"

The female Taoist whispered, twitched a few times, and sat on his lap, letting him do what he did. At the same time, she swept off her sleeves inadvertently, and took every talisman that Xu Dao threw out. in the sleeve.

Playing on every occasion is playing on every occasion, Xu Dao will not forget the purpose of his trip, after he casually teased the other party a few words, he said bluntly:

"Pindao is a casual cultivator from other places. He came here to admire Taoism. Your pavilion is well-informed. Can you introduce Wudu and Erhai Taoist Palace to Podao?"

The female Taoist was not surprised to hear that, she glanced at Xu Dao's youthful face, and was overjoyed: "Not only is he a young man, but he is also a fool."

She has seen a lot of people who came to Wudu to inquire about the way of the Taoist palace after traveling thousands of miles away, and these are the people who spend a lot of money, are willing to spend money, and have the opportunity to make a long-term deal.

Just last month, three or four Taoist priests who were also like this had already been cheated by her a few times, and they didn't come to the door again after they were ashamed of their pockets.

Among them was a young man who was not reconciled. The other party stayed in Wudu for three years, and his money was completely exhausted. In the end, he had to accept the task in the Demon Hall, and he never returned, so he never appeared again. in front of her.

The female Taoist suppressed the joy in her heart, and Jiao Didi said: "The guest officer has come to the right place, the news of our store is well-informed, and there are still connections..."

He dragged his voice and didn't point out any way out, but it was enough to make people like Xu Dao who came here to seek the way moved.

When Xu Dao heard this, he took out another talisman money from the 蚍乱笼, and ordered: "I would like to introduce you, starting with Wudu. If there are people worth paying attention to, people, secrets, etc., please explain everything clearly."

"It's still a thing with a powerful magic weapon!" The female Taoist found that what Xu Dao was holding was not a storage bag, but a hairpin-shaped magic weapon, and she was even more pleased, and quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes."

Driven by Fu Qian, Nv Dao immediately introduced the secrets of Wu Du to Xu Dao in detail, which saved Xu Dao a lot of effort, and among them was the news about the Dragon Vessel of Wu Du.

It turned out that the strangeness that Xu Dao noticed when he entered the city was not an illusion, but that every Taoist priest in the foundation-building realm would arouse the dragon's energy when entering the city, and be "targeted" by the dragon's veins.

Not only Taoist priests, as long as they are cultivators, those who have true energy and monster energy in their bodies will be paid attention to by Longmai in advance.

It's just that the intensity of this attention is very small. Only when the Taoist commits a murder or is captured by the demon master will the dragon's aura hang down and attach to it, which is convenient for tracking and suppressing the murderer.

That is to say, after entering the city of Wudu, one is actually entering someone else's urn. There is no need for a large formation to be raised, and the dragon veins of Wudu can activate mana to suppress the Taoists in the city, making it difficult for people to hide.

Hearing this news, Xu Dao couldn't help but sneered a few times in his heart: "What a dragon vein, this function is much more convenient than ordinary formations."

Although he had already guessed and prepared for this when he entered the city, he still frowned when he heard that this was indeed the case.

And according to what the female shopkeeper of Fengwen Pavilion said, in addition to suppressing criminals externally, this dragon vein can also bless the dragon energy on people internally, and can also increase the magic power of Taoists and assist them in capturing monsters and thieves.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Dao secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, you should keep a low profile when you first arrive, otherwise you may step on a pit if you are not careful."

He restrained his thoughts and said to the female Taoist priest, "Let's talk about the Dao Palace again."

After another question and answer, the other party also let Xu Dao know a lot about Erhai Dao Palace.

What surprised him was that, based on what he knew before, he thought that the Erhai Dao Palace was a sect like the Bone Temple and the Yasha Gate, but after listening to the introduction of Fengwen Pavilion, he realized that this was not the case, but a changed school. "Palace Viewing System".

The so-called "Palace and View System" was inherited from the Tang Dynasty.

Before the Taoist sect changed, it began to be closely connected with the secular court, and many Taoist sects no longer drifted away from the world, and chose to practice in the world.

Governments all over the world have also built mountain gates for the Taoist sects who entered the world. The small ones are called temples and the large ones are called palaces.

Taoist, Taoist, Taoist, Taoist... the names of the people were also decided at that time.

Among them, the Taoist priests in the foundation-building realm are those who have truly embarked on Taoism, are qualified to preach, can establish Taoist temples, and leave behind a line of practice.

A Taoist in the Golden Core Realm is also called a "Daoist", who is expected to live forever. He is qualified to teach Taoist priests, can spread the Tao to the world, and build a Taoist palace.

But in today's modern world, thousands of years after the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the "Palace and View System" is different.

There has been no change in the aspect of "Taoism". A Taoist priest can still build a hut and build a temple.

But the "Dao Palace" has undergone major changes.

During the Shengtang period, many temples belonged to the same Dao vein, or had a passion for incense. Taoist temples were qualified and obliged to recommend the seeds of cultivation under their sects to practice in Dao palaces, and even inherit the Dao vein and become true disciples.

Palace viewers are only equivalent to the branches of Daozong Xuanmen's entry into the world, and the large and small semicolons opened.

But after experiencing the shattering of the Tang Dynasty, the world's Dao veins have been cut off, and the situation is very different.

The "Tao Palace" is no longer a semicolon of the Taoist sect, but an organization rebuilt by the Taoists picking up and inheriting the various orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty.

Take Erhai Taoist Palace as an example.

Its general framework is still consistent with that of the Tang Dynasty, but at the beginning of its establishment, its relationship with the imperial court was more similar to that of official learning; inside, the status of Taoists in the Taoist palace was equal, and it was more similar to a place for discussion and exchange.

It's just that after another thousand years of development, the status of the Daoist Palace has been transcended, and it has already surpassed the court of the Wu Kingdom.

But no matter what, the Dao Palace in today's world can no longer be viewed from the perspective of the sect in the past.

In addition to the new Daoist palaces developed within the millennium, there are still some Daoist sects whose inheritance has not been cut off, but these Daoist Xuanmen have been withdrawn from the world and no longer open Daoist palaces in the mortal world.

Xu Dao thought about it carefully, and found that this Shidao Palace is very similar to the university organization in the previous life, but the university in the previous life had no knowledge but no power, while this Shidao Palace is knowledge and great power all attributed to itself.

Seeing him pondering, the female priest of Fengwen Pavilion smiled and said:

"If a guest official wants to pay homage to the Taoist palace, he is the right one to find this pavilion. Not to mention that the owner of this pavilion is a Taoist leader in the Taoist palace. Any one of them has a special person responsible for searching and recording."

"As long as the guest officer can be favored by any Taoist leader and accepted as a disciple, he will enter the Taoist Palace and become a member of the Taoist Palace!"

"It's just..."

The female Taoist's skirt was wide open, her fingers were placed on her neck, and she rubbed gently with three fingers. She stared at Xu Dao's cockroaches, hinting nakedly.
