At this time, seeing that Daoist Zhi Yuan didn't have any good opinions, Yuan Tiangang didn't continue to ask. After all, what he learned was not in this area.
Many Daoists walked along the way.
They could clearly feel that the atmosphere in Chang 'an had changed a lot compared to before.
The most obvious change was the scholars.
Many of them gathered in groups of twos and threes. They even began to discuss on the streets. As for those lowly servants and commoners, all of them walked carefully on the streets, afraid of offending these students. Many of them were respectfully bowing in the direction of the Immortal Palace, their expressions extremely sincere.
Several people also felt the changes brought about by the arrival of the Immortals.
Along the way, they came to a mansion, which was an official's office called the Imperial Astronomer.
The Imperial Astronomer was in charge of observing astronomy, calculating the calendar, and weather. At the same time, it was also a reward from Emperor Li Shimin to the Daoists.
"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were countless sects in the world. Now, only the Daoists and Buddhists can prosper." Daoist Zhi Yuan stood at the door of the Imperial Astronomer, recalling the events of the past and sighing.
In the past, the Jianghu was really full of monsters and monsters. There were all kinds of people.
But now, most of them were in seclusion.
At the very least, only the Daoists and Buddhists were active in various places.
"However, the competition between Daoists and Buddhists is becoming more and more obvious." Yuan Tiangang touched his beard with a smile. "Uncle Zhi Yuan, did you notice that we didn't see half a monk along the way?"
Daoist Zhi Yuan thought for a while and was a little surprised.
"It's true."
There were temples in Chang 'an City, and the size of the temples was not small. In the past, when they came to Chang' an, they could often see some monks coming in and out of the mansions of the rich and powerful.
But along the way, they didn't see a single one.
"The world is in a catastrophe. True Immortals came to save the world, but I didn't see Buddha." Yuan Tiangang even laughed. "Those monks dare not appear again."
Daoist Zhi Yuan's expression was a little dignified when he heard this.
In fact, the Daoists didn't have much intention to fight, but when it came to inheritance, sometimes they had to fight.
Otherwise, those sects that had disappeared would end up like them.
Right now, it seemed to be an opportunity, but it was related to the Immortals and the Immortal Path. Who dared to talk nonsense?
"Master." A voice suddenly sounded. It was Li Chunfeng who came out from the Imperial Astronomer. His face was full of surprise. He cupped his hands and bowed. "Greetings, Master. Greetings, Uncle-Master Miaoying. Greetings, Senior Brother Tiangang. Since Master has come to Chang 'an, why are you standing in front of the door and not entering?"
"It was just a momentary feeling." Daoist Zhi Yuan chuckled as he looked at his disciple.
This disciple was indeed the disciple that he was proud of. Not only did he have outstanding knowledge of Taoism, but he also had outstanding talent in cultivation and wisdom. That was why he could be assured to let him represent the entire Taoism and be an official in the imperial court.
Under Li Chunfeng's guidance, the group entered the imperial astronomer's office through the main entrance.
It was unknown how many people saw this scene.
Everyone knew that Taoism had reached Chang 'an.
Li Chunfeng welcomed his Master and his Martial Uncles into the Imperial Astronomer. After settling down for a while, he immediately went to a side room with his Master and Yuan Tiangang. Obviously, they had something to discuss. Sun Simiao thought for a moment and followed them. He was focused on medicine and basically didn't care about the internal affairs of Taoism. Now, he just wanted to know more about the immortals.
"I've been waiting for a long time." Li Chunfeng just sat down and couldn't help but complain. "The current situation in Chang 'an is too difficult for me to handle by myself. I'm just waiting for Master and the many seniors of Taoism to take charge."
"Has it already reached this stage?" Daoist Zhi Yuan's face was solemn.
"Just yesterday, more than 3,000 people came to Chang 'an." Li Chunfeng looked helpless. "They all came in the name of worshipping the immortal. There were commoners, aristocratic families, and countless Jianghu people hiding among them. I've only sensed that there are no less than four hermit sects. There are even traces of the Gongshu family."
"Gongshu?" Zhi Yuan was shocked. "Gongshu hasn't appeared in the world for a hundred years. Are you sure?"
"A few days ago, the immortal sent Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde to the north with a treasure to slay ghosts. The immortal treasure was black and could fly without wings. It was extremely fast. In just a moment, it flew into the clouds. The immortal said that this treasure wasn't an immortal treasure. It was made with mortal techniques. As long as a mortal understood the principles of the mortal world, they could also make it." When Li Chunfeng talked about the scene that day, he was a little shaken.
The rest of the people also understood what he meant.
"In the past, it was said that Lu Ban, the ancestor of Gongshu, had a treasure that could fly above the nine heavens. It was similar to the immortal's treasure." Yuan Tiangang shook his head. "If that's the case, it's reasonable that the Gongshu family would come to Chang 'an. But it's only been a few days … I'm afraid that the Gongshu family is hiding in the city."
"Not only that." Li Chunfeng said, "The immortal said that the principles of the mortal world don't care about morality. They only care about power. The Gongshu family is skilled in strange techniques. They are similar to the principles of the mortal world."
When he said this, his face was already solemn.
"The Era of Great Strife, the Era of Great Strife!" Daoist Zhi Yuan sighed.
The Era of Great Strife had begun to appear. There were bound to be strong forces and weak forces.
Although the Buddhist Sect was in a bad situation, it didn't mean that they could sit back and relax.
"It's not just the Era of Great Strife. It's also the Era of Great Tribulation." Sun Simiao couldn't help but interject. "Don't forget why the immortal came. When the Realm of Ghosts opens, countless people will die."
His words drew everyone's attention to this matter.
They looked at Li Chunfeng again.
Daoist Zhi Yuan asked, "What should we do when the Realm of Ghosts opens?"
"That's what I want to say now." Li Chunfeng perked up. "Master, the Emperor has now established the Ghost Rider Department under the order of the Immortal Master. It specializes in ghosts and monsters. The person in charge of the Ghost Rider Department is the immortal!"
"Immortal!?"
This time, not only Daoist Zhi Yuan and Sun Simiao, but even Yuan Tiangang, who had always been calm, was shocked.
They all thought that the immortal was above the Immortal Palace and looked down on the world.
They didn't expect that there would be an immortal in charge of the mortal world's government.
"That's right. He's a disciple of the Immortal Master. His name is Gu Yan. We all call him Immortal Gu." Li Chunfeng nodded solemnly. "Immortal Gu selects suitable people and imparts spells to them on behalf of the Immortal Master. He can control evil ghosts and teach them how to get rid of ghosts. Now, there are eight ghost controllers in the Ghost Rider Department. Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, and other generals are all here. Every day, they follow Immortal Gu to various places on immortal treasures to get rid of ghosts.
