The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 103 Two Taoists

(Ask for a ticket everyone! Support the craftsmen~)

After hearing He Sidao's words, Zhao Yanxun became interested in him.

"You know how to do things?" This sentence was asked by Zhao Yanxun himself.

From this point, He Sidao can be sure that if he has a chance to sneak into the palace, he must quickly lick the prince well.

"My lord was joking, a mere legal matter, a poor Taoist will naturally do it!"

"Besides, the mountain doctor fortune-telling, astronomy and geography are also knowledgeable..."

Zhao Yanxun is actually not very interested in what He Sidao said later, as long as this guy can do things to fool people.

Why Zhao Yanxun took a fancy to He Sidao, it was because he needed such a person to help him communicate with heaven.

To put it simply, if Zhao Yanxun wants to myth himself, he needs a professional like He Sidao to do things for him.

"Are you proficient in ritual rituals?" Zhao Yanxun asked again.

The ritual of fasting and offering sacrifices in Taoism is a religious ceremony based on the connection between man and God and the belief in immortals.

Why did Zhao Yanxun know?Because in a certain historical drama in the previous life, the emperor liked to practice sacrifices and make alchemy, which happened to be recorded by him.

Now it just happens to be used by him. If he has this Taoist priest, he can find someone to write clear words later. Guan Hetai is a good candidate.

He Sidao ran the train with his mouth full, but he really knew how to do things, so at this moment he said calmly: "My lord, the ritual of fasting and offering sacrifices is easy for poor Taoists!"

Nodded, this person is indeed useful.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun had an idea, and then asked again: "Do you know how to make alchemy?"

Alchemy?To be honest, He Sidao can't, but if Zhao Yanxun needs it, he can too.

He is hungry now, and he must find a place to eat, whether he will respond first or not.

"Poverty is better..." He Sidao replied.

"How often do you practice? Has there ever been an explosion?" Zhao Yanxun asked immediately.

For some reason, in this era, gunpowder has not been invented, which makes Zhao Yanxun desperately need talents in this field.

He vaguely remembered that the gunpowder in the history of the previous life seemed to be discovered by alchemists through alchemy, so Zhao Yanxun asked this question.

For gunpowder, Zhao Yanxun only knows the phrase "one sulfur, two nitrates and three charcoals", but this sentence cannot be turned into gunpowder.

Charcoal is okay, where to find saltpeter and how to obtain sulfur are the biggest problems.

And for these Taoist priests to make alchemy, they had to find the materials by themselves, so what Zhao Yanxun valued was their ability to find raw materials.

Regarding alchemy, Zhao Yanxun asked two questions in a row, which made He Sidao very difficult.

If Zhao Yanxun likes alchemy, and his major is not in line with him, then his idea of ​​relying on a big tree to enjoy the shade must not fail.

Brother Zhang just likes to do this, so why not bring him directly... He Sidao thought to himself.

"Reporting to the lord, although the poor Taoist is good at alchemy, he doesn't do it often... but the poor Taoist brother likes this way, and he makes a lot of troubles on weekdays!" He Sidao replied.

Now Zhao Yanxun became more interested, and asked: "Did you all find the materials for alchemy?"

"It's natural!"

Nodded, Zhao Yanxun gained a lot from coming out today.

"Well, since you and your junior brother have this ability, would you like to enter my palace together?" Zhao Yanxun asked.

I can't ask for it... He Sidao was ecstatic in his heart.

But he was a man with a lot of thoughts, and he kept his appearance calm at the moment, giving him a sense of superiority.

"The prince is so kind, the poor dare not refuse!"

"Since that's the case, then you can go call your junior brother, and let's go to the palace together to be guest servants!" Zhao Yanxun said generously.

This made He Sidao happy, and then he replied: "Thank you, my lord!"

"That's good...send some people to go with him to invite his junior brother!" Zhao Yanxun said casually.

Then he didn't say any more, just hit the horse and left, and Fang Sheng ordered a few guards to stay, and followed them with him.

For Zhao Yanxun, asking and answering a few words with He Sidao in person is already very courteous to him, and there is no need to do more.

"Daoist, please!" The remaining guard said.

He Sidao nodded, and then left with a few guards. When passing by the guard who had just chased him, He Sidao ignored him.

Relying on the big tree of Prince Yong's Mansion, the days to come will be much easier. He Sidao no longer needs to be deceived and abducted, and he will live precariously.

Accompanied by the guards of the palace, He Sidao went all the way unimpeded, and soon arrived at his residence.

Nancheng was originally a gathering place for poor people, but the place where he lived was the poorest place among the people.

So that He Sidao was very embarrassed at the moment, and directly asked the guards to wait outside, and he went into the alley alone to find someone.

The alleys were all dirty and messy, and since He Sidao said not to enter, the guards would naturally not ask for trouble.

This reassured He Sidao a lot. After all, he went to the palace to be an expert, so how could he be seen as shabby at the moment.

He Sidao's younger brother is named Zhang Junru. In fact, it is more accurate to say that Zhang Junru is a serious Taoist priest.

After Master Zhang Junru died five years ago, he was left alone to guard the dilapidated Taoist temple, doing some inexplicable things by himself.

It was also five years ago that He Sidao fainted from hunger and was rescued by Zhang Junru outside the Taoist temple, so he stayed in the Taoist temple and became a Taoist priest.

The two are called brothers, and He Sidao's brain is active, so he learned talisman divination in the Taoist temple, and he can make some money by doing divination for others.

The two lived like this, and even planned to take in two more apprentices to pass on the Taoist temple after a few years when the economy improved, but who knew what would happen.

Under Zhang Junru's ten alchemy experiments, this Taoist temple that had been passed down for nearly a hundred years was completely burned down by the fire caused by the explosion.

The two had no place to stay, and they didn't even leave any property behind, so they had to go to the city to make a living.

But money is needed for everything in the city, and the two of them have nothing, so they simply built a shed in the slums and lived casually.

He Sidao went out today despite the martial law order, because he was so hungry that he had to go out to find something to eat.

Walking into the depths of the alley, enduring the stench from the surroundings, He Sidao came to a shack.

On the straw mat in the hut, a young man fell asleep with his back facing the outside, lying motionless at the moment.

Kicking a stone on the ground, He Sidao leaned forward and asked, "Jun Ru? Are you alive?"

There are man-eating monsters in the city, so He Sidao did this to be on the safe side, he didn't want to die for nothing.

"I won't eat the things you stole even if I'm starving to death!"

Hearing the familiar words and attitude, He Sidao felt extremely unhappy while being grateful.

His mother risked himself to go out to find something to eat. This guy sits back and enjoys what he gets and pretends to be aloof. When he is about to starve to death, see if he eats or not.

"Your brother, what kind of person am I? How can Taoist disciples make a living doing such sneaky things!" He Sidao raised his hands behind his back.

The young man on the straw mat turned around and asked, "Then what are you doing back?"

He Sidao became even more angry when he heard this. Is this what people say?
But he also knew that Zhang Junru was outspoken, and more importantly, it was not the time to care about it, and the guards of the palace were still waiting outside.

"Jun Ru, I found an errand for us in Yongwang's Mansion, and your and my good days are coming!" He Sidao said with a smile.

Seeing Zhang Junru's suspicious expression, He Sidao recounted what just happened.

"From now on, you will be my junior!" He Sidao emphasized emphatically.
