Chapter 148 Alliance of Confucianism and Taoism
On this day, Bai Yuan was using jade leaves from the paper tree to carve jade pendants for Ning Yan and the others, when he suddenly saw Xiao Ling running towards them.

"Little uncle, the head of Confucianism is here to visit, and the head master asked you to come over."

Hearing this news, Bai Yuan immediately stopped what he was doing, nodded his head, and then temporarily put away the jade leaves.

"I'm going over here."

Bai Yuan also knew why Lu Zhonglian came here.

More than a month ago, Chi Songzi sent a flying eagle to send a secret letter to the Confucian leader Lu Zhonglian, explaining the matter of the blank paper to him, in order to win an ally to Tianzong.

Confucianism, as a famous school in the world, has great influence.

Confucian disciples are all over the world, and unlike Mohism, most of them are officials in various countries.

Therefore, the influence of Confucianism is much greater than that of Mohism.

Moreover, Confucian disciples’ demand for paper is actually far higher than that of Taoism. After all, Taoist disciples spend most of their time on enlightenment and cultivation, and usually spend more time comprehending the Dao, while Confucian disciples have to read and write every day.

The six arts of a gentleman in Confucianism include rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics, among which calligraphy and mathematics are basic courses.

They spend a lot of time on this, and learning books and numbers requires a lot of reading and writing, and the demand for paper is naturally much greater.

When Bai Yuan came to the main hall of Taiyi Palace, Lu Zhonglian was talking happily with Chi Songzi.

Beside him, Fu Nian, who was still young, was a little cautious, sitting there well-behaved, without saying a word.

Seeing Bai Yuan's arrival, Chi Songzi and Lu Zhonglian both stopped and turned their eyes to him.

"Long time no see, Junior Brother Bai Yuan is even more handsome than before!"

Lu Zhonglian smiled and squinted his eyes, he could tell at a glance that Bai Yuan's temperament had undergone a huge change again.

Obviously, during this period of time, Bai Yuan's strength has improved a lot.

For this, he can only lament that Taoism has successors.

Bai Yuan nodded slightly and smiled.

After he took his seat, Chisongzi and Lu Zhonglian formally discussed this cooperation.

"I've seen white paper before. It is indeed a rare item. If there is enough quantity, it is indeed very suitable to replace bamboo slips and cloth."

Lu Zhonglian remembered that the letter Chi Songzi sent to him was written on white paper.

At that time, he fell in love with this thing as soon as he got it in his hand, and he still carries that piece of paper with him to this day.

Hearing this, Chi Songzi nodded immediately.

"To tell you the truth, my Taoist school has a lot of this paper. Now my Tianzong disciples basically don't use bamboo slips or cloth anymore, and they all replace it with white paper."

Lu Zhonglian and Fu Nian were both a little surprised when they heard Chi Songzi's description.

"It seems that you have really mastered the technology of making white paper. This is the luck of the scholars in the world!"

Lu Zhonglian sighed.

Chi Songzi smiled slightly and stroked his beard.

"Although my Tianzong doesn't care about world affairs, white paper is indeed something that can benefit the world. My Tianzong is lucky to have this thing, so naturally I won't keep it for myself, so I will notify you as soon as possible."

He spoke beautifully, but Lu Zhonglian understood what he meant.

Tianzong has been targeted by various forces because of the blank paper. This is different from Yangqi Pill. The blank paper is something that can fundamentally change the world.

Although Taoism ranks among the best among hundreds of schools of thought and is powerful, it cannot withstand such great pressure. After all, they do not have the ability to make enemies of the world.

That's why Chi Songzi thought of Confucianism.

On the one hand, the influence of Confucianism is large enough, on the other hand, the relationship between Confucianism and Taoism is also good, and the cooperation between the two parties is beneficial and harmless.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, both Chisongzi and Lu Zhonglian knew these things well.

It didn't take long for them to discuss the specific matters of cooperation.

Starting from this month, Taoism will provide Confucian Xiaoshengxianzhuang with a batch of white paper of various sizes every month, and a small amount of nourishing qi pills will also be provided.

Confucianism, on the other hand, wants to stand up to support Taoism and help Taoism share the pressure from various forces.

Naturally, Lu Zhonglian would not refuse this request. After all, the temptation of white paper is too great for them. Sharing some pressure is not difficult for Confucianists whose disciples and old officials are all over the world. Disciples send a letter, and most of them will understand what to do.

And as long as Confucianism speaks out in support of Taoism, other schools of thought, all forces will also be restrained.

After all, a Taoist school is already difficult enough to deal with. If there is an equally powerful Confucianism, many people will retreat in spite of the difficulties.

Most importantly, they saw the hope of obtaining a blank paper from the cooperation between Confucianism and Taoism.

Taoism provided Confucianism with a large number of these blank papers, and some of them were not for Confucianism, but were sold for Taoism.

As long as people from all parties have ways to obtain white paper, the pressure on Taoism can be reduced a lot.

There is only one thing Taoism has to do, and that is to protect the paper-making tree well.

When Chisongzi and Lu Zhonglian were talking about things, Bai Yuan didn't say a word. He came here to be a witness, and he didn't want to interfere with specific matters.

An hour later, Chisongzi and Chisongzi finally finished talking about everything.

"Junior brother, I have other things to deal with, so I will leave it to you to entertain Master Lu."

Amidst Bai Yuan's stunned expression, Chi Songzi handed over the task of entertaining Lu Zhonglian to him.

After exhaling, Bai Yuan had no choice but to accept this task.

After taking Lu Zhonglian to wander around the Taoist Taiyi Palace, Lu Zhonglian had the opportunity to chat with Bai Yuan.

"Ever since Junior Brother Bai Yuan left Songhai, Little Shengxian Manor has become much deserted. Yan Lu and the others still talk about you from time to time."

Lu Zhonglian said to Bai Yuan with a smile.

Bai Yuan smiled, and took advantage of the situation to ask Wuming and the others how they were doing.

Then I learned from Lu Zhonglian that everything is fine with them recently, but Wuming left a letter not long ago, left his disciple Yan Lu and left Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and now he is missing.

Speaking of this, Lu Zhonglian couldn't help sighing.

"With today's unknown martial arts, there are probably very few people in the world who can hurt him, and Senior Brother Lu doesn't have to worry."

Bai Yuan couldn't help but comfort him.

In fact, he had some vague guesses about Wuming's whereabouts.

Unsurprisingly, it should still have something to do with Yan Lu.

Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Lu Zhonglian couldn't help laughing.

"I'm not worried about him, I'm angry. You said he left Yan Lu like this. Isn't it a bit irresponsible as a master?"

Hearing this, Bai Yuan showed a strange expression.

But he didn't refute Lu Zhonglian's words, and nodded slightly following his meaning.

After wandering around Taoism for a while, Lu Zhonglian also found that Tianzong was indeed a little different from his impression.

Can't help but lament how much Tianzong has changed recently.
