Chapter 92 Learning the Dao in the Morning, Death in the Evening (1)
Cui Heng had long heard of this Daoyi Palace.
This was the head of the Dao Sects in the world, and it was located at the center of the world, Mount Donghua.
The Daoyi Palace claimed to have existed for more than 10,000 years, long before the birth of this world’s national system.
Moreover, they even claimed that their Ancestral Master was the head of the Heavenly Gods who had once divided the 36 states in the world and was respected as a “Dao God” by Daoyi Palace.
It sounded extremely exaggerated.
As for whether this was a boast, no one knew.
After all, the earliest historical records of this world could only be traced back to more than 3,000 years ago. Even if some myths and legends were included, it only dated back about 4,000 years ago.
However, what was certain was that there were already words like “Daoyi Heavenly Palace” and “Dao God” on the existing bronze artifact inscriptions of “Yan Dynasty”.
The Yan Dynasty was the most ancient country that could be traced back to this world, and it was also called “Great Yan”.
It was said to have been established by a Divine Monarch more than 3,000 years ago.
Currently, there were four nobles who claimed to be from the Grand Yan Era.
From this, it could be seen that the 10,000 years of inheritance that the Daoyi Palace claimed to have was true. There was no doubt that its inheritance was ancient.
Moreover, the Daoyi Palace was not only ancient, but also extremely powerful.
The past Sect Masters were all Deity Realm cultivators, and there were countless Deity Realm cultivators living in seclusion in the palace.
There were even rumors that they had a legacy in Daoyi Palace for one to reach Immortal Ascension.
The once powerful Deity Realm figures did not really die. Instead, they had all become Immortals and were still cultivating on Mount Donghua.
However, the Daoyi Palace almost never interfered in worldly disputes. Most of their people spent their lives on Mount Donghua.
The last time the Daoyi Palace made a large-scale move was 2,000 years ago, when the Buddhists came from the West and preached in Yongzhou.
Even the fact that they could support someone to become the State Overseer was something that had been erected up 200 years ago to deal with the number one holy land of Buddhism, the Baolin Buddhist Hall.
But in reality, it was just a title.
Ever since the establishment of the Great Jin, no one had been supported by the Daoyi Palace to become the State Overseer.
Now that Cui Heng heard that a disciple of the Daoyi Palace wanted to visit him, he immediately had some thoughts.
“Lord, please take a look.” Hui Shi handed a letter to Cui Heng with both hands.
“alright.” Cui Heng took the letter and flipped through it. He immediately knew what Lu Zhengming meant. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and smiled. “Send a message back to Xiling County and ask Lu Zhengming to tell Daoist Zhou to come to Lu County to see me at any time.”
“Yes, my Lord!” Hui Shi left in a hurry after receiving the order.
“He’s a sharp blade!” Cui Heng looked at Hui Shi’s back and couldn’t help but sigh.
Hui Shi was now the busiest person around Cui Heng. He was already in charge of eight Counties and was fully in charge of the implementation of the government decrees in those places.
There were only 21 counties in the entire Lu Prefecture.
This time, he had returned to the county city to report on his duties. He would be leaving soon and would be implementing a decree in the ninth county.
Another wave of heads were going to be sent rolling
If it were anyone else, they would probably not dare to let go of such a sharp blade.
Cui Heng was different.
After all, he had personally forged this sharp blade.
After Hui Shi left.
Cui Heng returned to the inner hall of the government office and spread out a piece of paper. He wrote a name on it.
Zhou Hongyi.
This was the Daoist priest who had found Lu Zhengming in Xiling County and wanted to visit him in Lu County. He was the inner disciple of the Daoyi Palace’s Sect Master, Zhang Shuming.
In today’s world, he could definitely be considered an important figure.
“If I want to obtain the position of Fengzhou State Overseer, I might be able to gain the support of Daoyi Palace.”
Cui Heng’s lips curled up slightly.
Although the Daoyi Palace had never supported anyone since ancient times, as long as he wanted to, there were many ways to get Zhang Shuming to come over personally and beg him to accept the support of the Daoyi Palace.
Cui Heng had already confirmed this when he learned that Zhou Hongyi had not sent a letter from Giant River County, but from Xiling City.
It was different from Zhang Shuming’s focus on transcending the mortal world.
Zhou Hongyi felt that cultivating the Dao and martial arts also required one to frequently walk the mortal world and interact with ordinary people.
Only then could he be closer to the true Great Dao.
Therefore, although he had only been in Xiling County for half a month, he had already become familiar with most of the people in the city. He even had a few friends who told him everything.
This was undoubtedly related to the fact that Xiling County had just suffered a military disaster and there was not much population left. However, Zhou Hongyi’s social skills were obviously unquestionable.
Moreover, he did not deliberately interact with others. He really enjoyed the feeling of interacting with ordinary people in the most ordinary way.
This was Zhou Hongyi’s attitude towards cultivation.
Every evening, he would come to the south of the city and play a few games of chess with a few old men in their sixties or seventies while chatting.
“Haha, rob!”
An old man with half of his teeth missing placed his chess piece with a smile. He ate one of Zhou Hongyi’s chess pieces and said with a smile, “Little Zhou, you seem to be a little distracted these two days when playing chess.”
Zhou Hongyi’s talent was extremely high. He had already stepped into the Xiantian realm in his twenties. Although he had entered the Inner World realm already, he was only in his early thirties. In terms of appearance, he was only in his twenties.
Naturally, this group of old men called him Little Zhou.
“Haha, Uncle Chen, you can tell?” Zhou Hongyi placed his chess piece down and broke the chess deadlock. He smiled and said, “A few days ago, I sent a visitation card to the governor of Lu County through the Governor Deputy. I wonder if he will accept it. I’m a little nervous.”
