Chapter 1309

In this way, the so-called Buddhism was ultimately used by others, and the inconspicuous Taoism became the final winner.

But this was only Su Xuan's speculation.

It did not mean he would choose to support Li Shimin.

Back to the topic.

There were indeed Demonic Sect members in Chang'an. Although Su Xuan did not fear the Demonic Sect members—in his view, even if all the Demonic Sect members came together, they were just weaklings—he hated trouble. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Xuan ultimately chose to isolate the energy released by the Evil Emperor Relic with his own power.

In the following time, Su Xuan was like a traveler, strolling through Chang'an with Shi Qingxuan.

Time passed slowly.

Just as Su Xuan was playing and enjoying himself in this world as a traveler, the world was also full of turmoil.

……

The Luo River was a major tributary on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and its main section was in the city of Luoyang.

Emperor Yang of Sui established his capital in Luoyang, which was eighty li in circumference and grand in scale. The Luo River flowed through the city, having the "appearance of the Heavenly River," so the Tianjin Bridge was built. Tianjin meant the Milky Way. The imperial palace was built north of the bridge, named the Ziwei Palace, meaning the Heavenly Palace. Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal with Luoyang as the center, reaching Yuhang in the south and Zhuozhou in the north. The Luo River waterway was widened, which was the beginning of the Grand Canal. Emperor Yang of Sui rode a three-story dragon boat and went to Yangzhou three times. The products of the whole country were concentrated in Luoyang through the canal. Huge granaries, such as the Xingluo Granary, were built on both sides of the Luo River, with amazing storage capacity.

But now Luoyang was very dilapidated and did not return to its former appearance. Only the excavated Grand Canal still connected the north and south, showing the achievements of Emperor Yang of Sui.

The boat moved leisurely, without oars, but naturally went upstream, appearing mysterious.

Beimingzi stood at the bow of the boat, and not far ahead was the Tianjin Bridge.

It was not until he saw a figure fishing on the riverbank that the boat suddenly stopped.

"You are really hard to find! Ning Daoqi!"

A calm voice came from Beimingzi's mouth.

Since Lishan, after accepting Su Xuan's task, he began to complete Su Xuan's task of commanding the Dao Sect.

To complete this task, he first needed to figure out the specific situation of this world.

Fortunately, none of this could stop Beimingzi.

In the Qin world, the Yin-Yang School was proficient in various mind-reading and soul-taking methods, which could explore everything in others' memories. People only thought the Yin-Yang School's methods were strange, not knowing that the Yin-Yang School was born from the Dao School, and similar methods also existed in the Dao School.

After Beimingzi figured out the truth about the Dao School—no, to be precise, it should be the Dao religion—in this world, he began to take action.

He visited the Heavenly Master Dao and many high-ranking people of the Dao religion sects one after another.

He "persuaded" them with strong means, and even sought out the sect where Ning Daoqi was located.

Ning Daoqi, as a loose practitioner of the Dao Sect, seemed to be alone, but in fact, he had his own sect and a few disciples. It was just that his sect and his disciples were covered by his name as the number one person in the Central Plains, so they seemed obscure.

Through "questioning" his disciples, Beimingzi successfully learned of Ning Daoqi's whereabouts, and then headed straight for Luoyang.

Beimingzi was naturally no stranger to Luoyang.

This was an ancient city, and the Zhou Dynasty of the past established its capital in Luoyang.

Lu Buwei's fief of the Qin State was also in Luoyang. After he was dismissed from his position, he returned to Luoyang and ultimately committed suicide by drinking poison in Luoyang.

In the Qin world, Beimingzi had once traveled to Luoyang.

Of course, the Luoyang of that era was very different from the Luoyang of today. The only thing that remained unchanged was probably its name!

Under the Tianjin Bridge, on the riverbank.

An old man with a Daoist appearance was fishing quietly. He naturally noticed this small boat going upstream, but he didn't care, not expecting that the other party's target was him.
