I am cultivating immortals in the martial arts world

Chapter 12
"Poverty...to the sky."

The vigilant four made Lin Dong, who was about to say his original name, change in his heart, and his answer naturally changed as well.

"Tongtian?"

Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought that such a little Taoist would dare to call him such a big name.

What you need to know is that in ancient China, the two characters of heaven and earth represented more than just two characters.

And Dali is originally one of the branches of Chinese culture, so it is natural to know this in detail.

"Tiantian Daoist?"

"This name..."

"Why?"

Not only Duan Zhengchun was stunned, Zhu Danchen, Gu Ducheng and Fu Sigui, the "Qiao Gengdu" also stayed in place.

"That's right, Pindao Dao Tongtian."

Lin Dong smiled slightly, facing the four sluggish people, he continued calmly: "I think the four of you are all surprised by the name Pindao? But in fact, you don't need to be so surprised. Since Pindao dared to call himself Tongtian, there is a reason for it .”

"Oh?"

"Duan would like to ask, where did Master Tong Tian come from? What advice do you have?" At this moment, Duan Zhengchun became interested.

The royal family of Dali does worship Buddhism more, but that is because of the existence of Tianlong Temple.

In the plot, even Duan Yanqing wanted to find Master Ku Rong of Tianlong Temple to uphold justice when something happened, which is evident.

In Tianlong Temple, besides Master Kurong, a family member of the Duan family, there is also Duan Zhengming's cousin, Emperor Shangming.

From this point alone, it is not just a simple monk temple.

In addition to this point, there is actually a plot that can also prove Dali's monk status from the side.

In the plot, when Duan Yu was locked in the cellar, Duan Zhengming wanted to ask for help, but after all, Tianlong Temple is the Duan family, it is not convenient to face Duan Yanqing, and it is not convenient for him, so he can only go to Nianhua The temple invited a monk with yellow eyebrows.

If that's the case, it doesn't really prove anything.

But anyone who has seen the work should still remember a little bit.

The reason why the yellow-browed monk came out of the mountain and was willing to abandon his toes was because Duan Zhengming said a word.

Duan Zhengming's words are: "From tomorrow, I will issue an order to abolish the salt tax for five years."

Master Huangmei's reply was a bit intriguing.

He said: "My virtuous brother has benefited all people, and I am very grateful."

After that, there is the scene where the yellow-browed monk loses his toes in order to win a game of chess with Duan Yanqing.

The problem is coming.

Does the salt tax have anything to do with the common people?

Others will not talk about it, here only the hatred of the beggar emperor for Zhang Shicheng is represented, and it can be seen that the salt tax has nothing to do with the common people, and it is still a very harmful thing.

Modern people can't understand it, because in modern times, a bag of salt only costs one yuan, which has risen a little over the past few decades.

In ancient times, a small piece of salt was not big, and it could neither stabilize the country nor make a fortune.

But small is by no means small, it is sold, it is enough for ordinary people to live steadily for half a year, and there is no problem with eating and drinking enough every day.

Therefore, the salt tax is not accessible to ordinary people at all, and those who are qualified to profit from it are the absolute dignitaries in the current era.

The yellow-browed monk of Nianhua Temple is like this, let alone Tianlong Temple.

Lin Dong even suspected that on the surface, Emperor Shangde (father of Duan Yanqing), Emperor Shangming (cousin of Duan Zhengming), Emperor Baoding (Duan Zhengming) and others were actually puppets, and the ones who really held power were probably The monks in the temple.

From this, two conjectures can also be made.

First, there is a fierce man in Tianlong Temple, whose strength is no less than that of the sweeping monk, and this person is not as indifferent to the world as the sweeping monk. He is likely to secretly control Dali's politics, economy, and military.

The reason why those emperors become monks should be "Since they can't be defeated, then they simply join, anyway, it is the common people who are exploited."

Second, the Duan family did not want to stand out, and secretly controlled Dali under the leadership of a few ancestors. Even if the people in power on the surface were dead, it would not affect their continued control of power.

Sometimes the power of religion cannot be expressed in words.

Just like Emperor Wu of Liang, he was the emperor, but he starved to death outside the city.

This also means that if there is no one to deal with these people, even if the Dali regime outside has forgotten, these descendants of the Duan family can still hold power, perhaps much bigger than it appears on the surface.

In this way, it can also explain clearly why Duan Zhengming wants to become a monk as soon as something happens.

Is that still a monk?It is clear that he is going to be a Buddha!

Where is the power of the emperor?Buddha can do whatever he wants.

Of course, Lin Dong doesn't know the specific situation, as long as he knows that Dali people are crazy about religion, that's enough.

As for whether Duan Zhengchun could discover the glacier under the tip of the iceberg, it was almost certain.

However, this kind of thing is not something that Duan Zhengchun, a young man in his twenties, can discover.

Even if he is qualified to know, Master Ku Rong and others will not tell at this time, but let him find out by himself.

The above is the result of Lin Dong's calculation, and it is also the reason why he showed up.

If something was wrong, he turned and ran.

"Poverty roads come from everywhere and go wherever they go."

Lin Dong bowed politely first, and then said with a radiant face: "The reason why he appeared is because he saw the great karma in Lay Duan, and I was just curious."

Hearing the same sentence, Duan Zhengchun became even more interested: "I don't know what the boss saw? Can you tell me something?"

If it were more than ten years later, he would never be as full of curiosity as he is now, and it would not be impossible to poke Lin Dong to death with one finger.

But now, he is only in his early 20s, and he has become a prince. He thinks that everything is under control, and he is not used to killing everything at the source.

Lin Dong was still calm, and said with a sly air: "Pin Dao saw that Duan Layman has a lot of beauty and blessings, and there is a pair of sisters who fell in love with you at the same time."

"hiss--"

Duan Zhengchun gasped, turned his head and glanced at the three guards, saw that they all shook their heads slightly, and then looked at Lin Dong with a little bit of surprise.

"One's surname is Gan, and the other's surname is Qin. I don't know if what the poor man said is right?"

Lin Dong didn't wait for Duan Zhengchun to speak, he continued: "Besides the two girls, Pindao also saw Layman Duan being entangled with a woman surnamed Kang, constantly implicated with a woman surnamed Dao, and even broken with a woman surnamed Ruan.

I don't know, is what Pindao said right? "

hiss--

hiss--

hiss--

Now, let alone Duan Zhengchun, Qiao, Geng, and Du all gasped, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

Lin Dong saw that the fire was almost ready, he smiled slightly and said: "The name of the poor Taoist is not because of his ability to reach the heavens and the earth, but because the poor Taoist can see through the destiny and use it to reach the heavens and people, so he is named."

"As for Layman Duan, fate is endlessly entangled, fortune is long, and the thread of cause and effect is even more extensive."

"That's why Pindao caught up."
