"Is the Queen Mother feeling strange because what Miss Su Xin said was too calm?" Zhang Zheng asked.

Liang Mengwang looked at Zhang Zheng and nodded: "It's too calm, as if he was talking about an irrelevant matter."

"The empress suspects that Master Lin's case is not as it appears." Hongyu asked.

"The Ai family doesn't know either, I just think it's strange." Liang Meng said.

"This slave has ordered us to go down and investigate Miss Su Xin." Hong Yu said.

Liang Meng nodded.

"I never thought that Brother Zhang is so talented in literature and is also top-notch in solving crimes. Ruhui admires him." Liu Ruhui said.

"Brother Liu is full of compliments, the Queen Mother is as meticulous as a hair, Brother Zheng's reasoning is meticulous, Brother Shen's key reminders, Brother Liu, Miss Liu San, and Ninth Princess asked questions at the right time. The case can be solved because of everyone's concerted efforts, not Zhang Zheng alone." How dare you be praised by Brother Liu for your merits?" Zhang Zheng said humbly and kindly.

"Brother Liu, what Brother Zhang said is all thanks to everyone." Zheng Boying said.

"There is no distinction between everyone's credit for being able to solve Mr. Lin's case." Shen Lanting said.

"In that case, let's discuss the level next time." Liu Ruhui said.

Everyone left Baihua Pavilion.

On the road.

"It's really shameful and hateful that a dignified official of the imperial court died at the hands of a brothel girl." Liu Ruhui said.

"The women in brothels are vulgar and unworthy of being petty and profit-making, and have no sense of etiquette, justice or shame. From now on, we should take Master Lin's incident as a warning and don't linger in brothels." Zheng Baiying said.

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise, so the brothel woman will possess both of them, and she will definitely stay away from them from now on." Shen Lanting said.

"Zhang Zhengding should bear in mind what you brothers have said," Zhang Zhengdao said.

Everyone showed disdain for the brothel girl and tried to stay away from her.

"Hmph~" Liu Xingzhu snorted coldly.

Everyone was chattering in admiration.

Attracted by this cold snort.

Seeing that the person who snorted was Miss Liu Xingzhu, she asked in confusion: "I wonder why Miss Liu San snorted?" Zheng Baiying said.

"It's really ridiculous. Mr. Lin's death is all his own fault. You really put all the blame on Miss Su Xin, just because she is a prostitute in your mouth, a person who sells her sex. It's really ridiculous." Liu Xingzhu said after hearing Zheng Boying's question.

"Even though Mr. Lin has done something wrong, the crime will not lead to death. Miss Su Xin's behavior is really a pitiful person and there is something hateful about it." Zheng Baiying said.

"Master Lin was greedy for beauty and indulged himself. He fabricated lies to deceive a brothel girl. When Su Xin took the truth seriously, he went back on his words and killed the fetus in Su Xin's belly. He was decisive and ruthless and showed no mercy.

But you still want to ask Miss Su Xin to obey and treat you carefully. I want to ask why Miss Su Xin can't resist. Why when you resist, what you get is Miss Su Xin's fault. There is something hateful about the poor person who gets you. Liu Xingzhu asked.

Liang Meng stared at Liu Xingzhu who was speaking at this time, and exclaimed in his heart that he was mighty, yes, why was he deceived, and it was the woman who was hurt. In the end, the woman's resistance was indeed blamed by everyone, and she was kidnapped by everyone asking for forgiveness;
Why is it that it is obviously men who are greedy for beauty and cannot control themselves, but on the contrary, it is said that women's beauty makes men unable to control themselves, and women's beauty is a disaster;
Why was it that the fall of the dynasty was clearly due to rampant corrupt officials and the incompetence of the emperor, but it was said that it was the beauty of women who brought disaster to the country?

Why men make mistakes are all the fault of women's temptation, rather than sins that men cannot control.

Liang Meng couldn't help but think of the excuse for modern men's rape, which is that sex is a man's instinct and cannot be controlled. Women should control their beauty and not attract men. Men rape because women dress too cool and seduce women.

It's ridiculous.

It's just that in a feudal patriarchal society, women will provide reasons for men to make mistakes.

"Miss Liu San, what Brother Zheng means is that Miss Su Xin should not kill people." Shen Lanting said.

"Miss Su Xin shouldn't kill people. It's ridiculous. It's really ridiculous. Master Lin killed Miss Su Xin's child. Can't Miss Su Xin kill Master Lin in turn? Don't you all know that murder pays for life?" Liu Xingzhu said.

"Why is it that when a man's parents and relatives are killed, killing all his enemies is to avenge blood and hatred, which is admired by everyone, but if it is Miss Su Xin who avenges her children as a woman, you think that this woman is vicious and ruthless, and you want to stay away from the brothel woman. Why? ?" Liu Xingzhu said again.

Everyone became puzzled by Liu Xingzhu's questioning.

"The women in brothels are all selfish people, so stay away from them for some reason." Zhang Zhengdao.

"Those who are officials are corrupt, and those who are honest are also corrupt; those who are businessmen are treacherous, and those who are trustworthy are treacherous; those who belong to humble families are villains, and those who are upright are also righteous. In short, women in brothels are not They are all motivated by their own selfish interests, and there are many people who have righteous thoughts. How can we make a general conclusion?

Why do you conclude that a brothel girl must be a villain and stay away from her? Liu Xingzhu said.

"What Miss Liu San said, Bai Ying has never thought about. When I heard it today, I found it thought-provoking. Bai Ying admires it." Zheng Bai Ying said.

"Liu San, stop talking. Look where you learned these treacherous words." Liu Ruhui said angrily.

"It's treacherous and unethical. It's just a thought-provoking speech. Why care about it?" Shen Lanting said.

"What Brother Shen said is true, there is no need for you to be angry," Zhang Zheng said.

"It's treacherous. Isn't what I said the truth? What do you think is treasonous about this?" Liu Xingzhu said, still unwilling to be outdone.

Just when Liu Ruhui retorted angrily, "Okay, that's it for today. No one can mention it or leak the conversation." Liang Meng said.

When you saw the Queen Mother speaking, you bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes."

Jing Huan listened attentively to the conversation with confusion.

After returning to the Liu Mansion, Liang Meng took Liu Xingzhu and persuaded him earnestly: "My lord, the words spoken today are too shocking. I hope you will be careful with your words in the future."

"Okay." Liu Xingzhu nodded nonchalantly.

A few days later, the carriage was on its way to the Taoist temple.

Liang Meng did not take Jing Huan and Liu Xingzhu with him because he did not tell Xingzhu about the fact that he had traveled through time. Liang Meng was afraid that Liu Xingzhu would find out the clues, so he did not take them with him.

There were only two people on the carriage, Liang Meng and Hong Yu.

Ever since Liang Meng learned about Li Tianshi's existence, he couldn't wait to go to the Taoist temple.

"The Queen Mother, why are there so many people on the way to the Taoist Temple? It seems that they are also going to the Taoist Temple." Hongyu said.

"Is there something strange?" Liang Meng also felt strange.

"Slave, please get off the carriage and ask." Hongyu said.

The carriage stopped. Hongyu got out of the carriage and saw a woman and asked, "Do you dare to ask why there are so many people on the road?"

"This road leads to the Taoist temple. Today is the day when the Taoist temple accepts disciples. Today Master Li will also give the peace charms to poor families like us. Otherwise, there will be more people on the road." The old woman looked at Hongyu and said.

"That's it." Liang Meng said while listening to the conversation between Hong Yu and the old woman.

Liang Meng and Hong Yu sat on the carriage and continued on their way.

The Taoist temple was overcrowded, and Tianshi Li standing at the highest point could be seen from a distance.

Immortal spirit, independence from the world.

"The one who takes the peace talisman is on the right, and the one who becomes a disciple of the Taoist temple is on the left." Only the shouts of the Taoist temple disciples were heard.

Liang Meng was attracted by the two brothers who were pulling each other not far away.

"What are you doing? Do you really want to join the Taoist temple as a disciple?"

"Why can't you become a disciple in a Taoist temple?" The man who was pulled nodded and asked.

"Look, look at how many people have come to the Taoist temple?"

Liang Meng also looked over.

There were only a few people who worshiped as disciples in the Taoist temple, which was in sharp contrast to the number of people vying to grab the peace charm.

Aren’t Taoist temples most popular in Jinshui City?Why do so few people worship at Taoist temples?
Liang Meng's eyes fell on Li Tianshi.

I happened to see Master Li looking at the disciples who had entered the Taoist temple.

Sorrow appeared on Li Tianshi's young face.

Why does Tianshi Li look sad?The two people who were pulling each other were about to leave after receiving the peace charm.

Liang Meng quickly motioned to Hongyu to ask.

"Your Majesty, I have heard about this..." Hongyu said.

Within the Jin Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism have been circulating for thousands of years. In order to compete for more disciples, Buddhism and Taoism have also been fighting openly and secretly for thousands of years to gain access to the rulers of the dynasty.

During the rule of the Sunset Dynasty, Buddhism was favored by the rulers, and thus became the state religion of the Sunset Dynasty. Taoism, which existed side by side with Buddhism, was therefore suppressed by Buddhism.

Taoism declined day by day, and eventually there were fewer and fewer Taoist disciples, making it difficult to maintain.

Is there a dispute between Taoism and Buddhism?Is Taoism difficult to maintain?

Liang Meng has not forgotten why he came to the Taoist temple today?It would be great if Li Tianshi and other Taoist disciples could provide him with chemical knowledge and help Dajin obtain firearms. Liang Meng also found the capital to negotiate with Li Tianshi in a flash of inspiration.

"Master Li is really a god and a good person in this world." While Liang Meng was thinking, he heard the people talking.

"Yes, he preaches to the people every now and then." The people said gratefully.

Liang Meng smiled knowingly.

Liang Meng looked at Li Tianshi, and Li Tianshi noticed Liang Meng's eyes looking towards Liang Meng. He was surprised for a moment and then strolled over.

Liang Meng saw Liang Meng walking towards him and couldn't help but wonder if Master Li knew my identity.

"Taoist Li Qingfeng pays homage to the Queen Mother."

During the Lantern Festival, Li Qingfeng remembered the Queen Mother's appearance.

"Master Li, please forgive me."

"Can Master Li please come and talk in detail?" Liang Meng said.

"Qingfeng obeys the order." Li Tianshi said.

After learning that the Queen Mother lived in Jinshui City, Li Qingfeng wanted to meet the Queen Mother, but he was unable to meet her until the lantern festival. He had no choice but to remember the Queen Mother's appearance so that he could meet her later.

The Queen Mother did not come today, and Li Qingfeng was very nervous and excited.

"The Ai family is here this time because they are interested in Taoist alchemy. I wonder if I can experience Taoist alchemy." Liang Meng got to the point.

Seeing Li Qingfeng's hesitation, Liang Meng said: "Is it possible that Li Tianshi is inconvenienced? Li Tianshi must not forget that Taoism is in danger at this time, and Aijia may be the only savior of Taoism."

After listening to what Liang Meng said, Li Qingfeng said: "The Queen Mother is here to invite you."

Soon, Liang Meng and Li Qingfeng came to an alchemy room.

Entering the alchemy room, an alchemy furnace stands in the middle of the room.

"I wonder if Tianshi Li has ever heard of sulfur and saltpeter?"

Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and then shook his head.

When Liang Meng was disappointed, he then thought that perhaps it was not called brimstone and saltpeter in this era.

"Hasn't the Taoist alchemy furnace ever cracked when refining alchemy? There are two materials that can cause the alchemy furnace to crack when burned with fire." Liang Meng asked.

"The Queen Mother said that the material can explode the stove with fire?" Li Qingfeng said excitedly.

"What? Li Tianshi knows?" Liang Meng saw Li Tianshi's expression and asked expectantly.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, a few months ago, Qing Feng accidentally mixed the two materials into the alchemy furnace. As soon as he put them in, the alchemy furnace was damaged. The fragments were only one step away from Qing Feng, almost causing the furnace to be destroyed and people killed. Even now, I still have lingering fears, so I ordered my disciples not to mix the two elixirs again." Li Tianshi said.

"Can you bring these two materials? The Ai family would like to see them." Liang Meng said excitedly.

"Respect the life of the Queen Mother." Li Tianshi said.

Soon the two materials were fetched.

The appearance of the two materials was similar to the sulfur and saltpeter in Liang Meng's memory.

Liang Meng happily thought of gunpowder. I finally found gunpowder.

Then Liang Meng ordered Li Qingfeng to put the two materials into the furnace.

The moment the two materials were put into the furnace, the furnace exploded and made a loud noise.

Liang Meng's eyes were hot and joyful.

Gunpowder was found.

Liang Meng looked at Li Qingfeng and said, "The Ai family doesn't want any third person besides the Ai family and Li Tianshi to know about what happened today."

"Qingfeng would like to obey the Queen Mother's orders." Li Qingfeng said.

Liang Meng was immersed in joy. After thinking about it, Li Qingfeng said: "Qingfeng is brave and hopes that the Queen Mother will save Taoist life."

Li Qingfeng was also a smart man. Knowing that Liang Meng was interested in the Taoist alchemy technique, he also took the opportunity to propose conditions to the Queen Mother.

"If the Ai family saves Taoism's life, I wonder what Tianshi Li will pay for it?" Liang Meng asked.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother can help Taoism escape from danger, the Taoists are willing to support the Queen Mother."

"Just getting out of danger?" Liang Meng asked.

Li Qingfeng was confused and said: "Yes."

"Just when they are out of danger, they can be used by the Aijia. Don't you feel that it is a loss for the Aijia? The Aijia has a better condition. The Aijia promised to make Taoism the state religion of Dajin, and Li Tianshi promised that the entire Taoism of the Aijia would support the Aijia. Driven by family, rest assured that Aijia will not do anything harmful to the people, harmful to Dajin, or harmful to Taoism." Liang Mengdao.

"Taoism became the state religion?" Li Qingfeng's eyes glowed hotly.

Letting Taoism be carried forward has been the lifelong wish of successive Taoist leaders. Under the pressure of Buddhism, Taoism has almost collapsed. Li Qingfeng has been determined to make Taoism flourish since he took over as the head of Taoism.

Li Qingfeng, full of hope, fell into memories.

In front of the Taoist school, the young Li Qingfeng and his brothers stood glaring at the Buddhist crowd opposite.

"This Taoist temple has become a place of Buddhism and must be moved quickly."

The senior brother Bu angrily said: "Why should we move? We won't move."

When the officers and soldiers guarding the Buddhist disciples saw this, they slashed at the Taoist disciple who had just spoken.

"Brother."

"Senior brother."

Li Qingfeng and others looked at the Buddhist disciples and others angrily.

"All Taoist disciples, please move out quickly, Amitabha."

Li Qingfeng was forced to leave the Taoist temple where he grew up.

Reluctant to let go, Li Qingfeng secretly made up his mind to take back the Taoist temple one day.

Li Qingfeng came to Jinshui City Taoist Temple.

More than ten years later, young Li Qingfeng grew up.

"Master, Master." Li Qingfeng cried.

"The Taoist temple is in your hands. From today on, you will be responsible for the rise and fall of Taoism. You must remember that sooner or later, Taoism will become the state religion. Promote Taoism well.

Master watched the decline of Taoism all his life and was helpless, and he had no face to face the Taoist leaders of all generations. "Master said sadly, his eyes widened and he slowly lost his breath.

"Master Qingfeng will definitely carry forward Taoism..." Li Qingfeng kowtowed with tears.
