Chapter 1063 (1/2)

Blackwater City, a small town on the southeast border of Dayun country, is also the hometown of Han Shuo.

Because it is close to an unusually wide Heishui River, it gets the name of Heishui city.

Unlike Jumu state, which has a large population and more than ten Xiuzhen sects, Dayun state is somewhat weak in many countries in the Central Plains.

Not only is there no magic medicine and mineral resources available, but even the population can only rank below the middle level in many dynasties and countries.

So that there are few Xiuzhen sects that set up a Taoism center in Dayun state. In addition, there are only four Taoism centers of Qingyang sect here.

Moreover, these four Taoist centers are all in the National County of Dayun state and the other three large county cities. In small and medium-sized cities such as Blackwater City, no Xiuzhen sect will favor it.

It is not only that there is no Taoist temple of Xiuzhen sect, but also that human monks rarely come to this barren land. Even if there are, they mostly pass by. Only the legend of immortal sword flying and longevity is left to the 20000 people in Heishui city and its surrounding areas.

Walking on the stone road of Blackwater City, the bumpy ground tells of the backwardness and barrenness of this small border town.

When Locke entered Blackwater City, he used Han Shuo's appearance and was dressed in a Taoist robe, a bun and a wooden sword hanging obliquely around his waist, so that the officers and soldiers on duty in Blackwater city were stunned that no one dared to ask him to collect the entrance fee.

In Dayun country, Taoists have a high status. The leader of the country who has no spiritual roots but wants to cultivate immortality and live forever not only please the four monastic sects in his country, but also those small groups of monks who have no formal sect and only have the period of Qi refining and foundation building.

Taoists represent a privileged class, even the actions of the local court Politics Officials have to be respectful when facing Taoists.

Of course, this phenomenon of blind worship has also bred many swindlers to go out and cheat. Many "fake Taoists" who don't even have a sense of morale have become popular in Dayun.

If Qingyang sect and the other three monastic sects didn't need to maintain their reputation and clean up these deceptive fake Taoists from time to time, the whole Dayun country would become extremely chaotic.

It has been three years since the "true Taoist" came to Blackwater city.

Why do you want to emphasize that you are a true Taoist? Two years ago, the new governor of Heishui City burned the Taibai Taoist priest who had been domineering here for four years with only his 15 servants, breaking the fraud that Taibai Taoist priest had Taoist magic power.

"Zhu Zhizhou has some courage and courage." Walking along the noisy street of Heishui City, holding a bronze mask which is very popular among the people in the Central Plains of Qingyang circle, Locke smiled.

"How much is this mask?" Locke casually asked the stall owner in front of him.

The stall owner was a dark old man in a short coat and a straw hat. Looking at the solid muscles bulging from his arms and a layer of calluses on his fingers, Locke guessed that most of the bronze masks on the stall should be made by the old man himself.

"Taoist priest, no money, no money. Take it if you like." The old man estimated that he had never seen a few Taoists in his life. When asked by Locke, he stuttered. He was excited.

Recently, the red light festival in Dayun country is approaching. This mask is the mask that people in Heishui city put on lanterns when visiting Heishui river at night.
