Wang Can stared at Zuo Ci, and simply stared at Zuo Ci, without any expression fluctuations in his eyes.

The look seemed to be staring at a dead man.

Zuo Ci was stared at by Wang Can, and his whole body was uncomfortable, as if he had lice on his body, which was very uncomfortable. He tried to twist his waist twice, but Wang Can still stared at him, making Zuo Ci sigh again and again in his heart, Wang Can was really stupid and stunned, and he was getting more and more cunning, and it was more difficult to deal with than when he met him in Jingzhou.

In desperation, Zuo Ci had no choice but to say: "Lord Wang, the old Taoist priest has something to discuss with you!" ”

Wang Can shuddered, seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly asked, "Oh, there is something wrong with Daoist Zuo!" Come and listen, as long as it is within the scope of my principles, I will definitely support it. ”

When Zuo Ci heard this, he almost fell to the ground.

What is within the scope of the principle?

This sentence can be regarded as not being said, who knows what your principles are?

Zuo Ci was helpless in his heart, but the current situation was that Wang Can already had the strength to look down on the princes of the world, if he had known this, he should have set up with Wang Can two years ago, instead of waiting for Wang Can to show his edge before starting to act. Many things are more difficult to deal with.

The relaxed expression on Zuo Ci's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

He arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang has become the cause of the king, and now that the country is about to be founded, Lao Dao wants to ask Wang Can to respect Taoism and support the development of Taoism, I don't know what Lord Wang wants?" ”

After finishing speaking, Zuo Ci looked at Wang Can expectantly.

When Wang Can heard this, he immediately knew Zuo Ci's intention.

The old Taoist priest Zuo Ci is a Taoist fanatic who wants to carry forward Taoism?

Wang Can stretched out his hand and twisted the short black beard under his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. For Wang Can, supporting Taoism is not much of a problem, as long as he says a word, the Taoism that Zuo Ci wants to revitalize can flourish in Yizhou like mushrooms after a rain and become widely known.

However, religion is a double-edged sword, and if it is used well, it will be beneficial to Wang Can; If it is not used well, it will definitely have a huge impact on Wang Can's rule, and it must be cautious.

Zuo Ci looked at Wang Can with a burning look in his eyes.

It's not that he didn't want to go over to visit Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and even Jiangdong Sun Jian, but these princes seem to be quite good, but there is still a big gap compared to Wang Can, especially when he has been in contact for more time, it is inevitable to know some things about Yizhou, and he knows that Yizhou's strength is very strong, so Zuo Ci will talk to Wang Can about things.

"Ahem! Cough! ……”

Wang Can coughed lightly twice, and was about to speak but suddenly choked back.

Seeing this, Zuo Ci was extremely disappointed in his heart, as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Wang Can looked at Zuo Ci's expression, and when he saw Zuo Ci's expression change, he secretly laughed in his heart. He already had a detailed plan in his heart, but it was difficult to get the old Taoist priest to agree, so he had to control the situation in his hands and let the old Taoist become a passive party in order for him to achieve his goal.

Zuo Ci's expression was solemn, and he asked worriedly, "Lord Wang, what do you think of Lao Dao's proposal?" Zuo Ci's confidence when he spoke seemed insufficient.

Wang Can nodded and said, "It's not impossible to support Taoism!" ”

"Good!"

After Zuo Ci heard this, he slapped his thigh and shouted.

However, Zuo Ci felt that Wang Can's words were wrong, because what Wang Can said was 'no, no, no'. Zuo Ci's mind turned, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, what conditions do you have?" ”

Zuo Ci is forty miles away, and he has lived most of his life, so he naturally knows that pies will not fall from the sky.

Wang Can agreed to his request, and there must be conditions.

Sure enough, Wang Can said with a smile: "The Taoist chief is really smart, it is indeed possible to support the development of Taoism in Yizhou, but Can also has certain conditions, otherwise I will not agree to the Taoist chief's request." ”

Zuo Ci rubbed his hands, he didn't look like a fairy wind at all, and said, "Lord Wang, please speak!" ”

Wang Can said slowly: "I have known the Taoist for many years, so I won't beat around the bush and say it directly. Regarding the conditions for the development of Taoism in my sphere of influence, there is an off-topic condition, this condition is very important, and it is easy for the Taoist chief, as long as the Taoist chief agrees to this inconsequential condition, we will carefully discuss how to develop Taoism. ”

Zuo Ci chuckled in his heart, and looked at Wang Can with a 'grudge'.

Obviously, Wang Can wanted the lion to open his mouth.

Zuo Ci wanted to refuse in his heart, but he was a knife and I was a fish, and in front of him was an opportunity for Taoism to flourish, and Zuo Ci would definitely not give up. Zuo Ci's expression was heavy, and he said: "Lord Wang, please make it clear, as long as the old Tao can complete it, he will not refuse." ”

Wang Can said: "The Taoist chief has a deep relationship with Pang Degong and Sima Hui, and they are close friends. Therefore, I hope that the Taoist chief will persuade the two great sages to settle in Yizhou. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Ci's eyes suddenly widened.

How is it possible to persuade Pang Degong and Sima Hui to move?

Zuo Ci shook his head again and again, his head shook like a rattle, and said: "My Lord Wang, Sima Hui and Pang Degong are famous people in Jingzhou, how can they be free to talk and move." Even though I am a little thin-faced, it is difficult to convince these two people, no, it is really incomplete! ”

Wang Can sighed and said: "Alas, it's a pity, if the Taoist chief agrees, Taoism can not only develop in Yizhou, but can even develop in Youzhou and Jizhou in the future, as well as in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and even have the opportunity to develop in Jiangdong, but the great opportunity was missed, it's a pity, it's really a pity!" ”

The words made Zuo Ci's heart sway.

Zuo Ci thought that Taoism could overpower the monk's temple, and his heart was hot.

Since Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty sent people back to Buddhism, Buddhism began to flourish, and the original Taoist temple of quiet and inaction was immediately suppressed. Moreover, most of the Taoist priests of Taoism are hermits, who like to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, ignoring the world, and the situation of Taoism is even more decaying, and Zuo Ci wants to turn the situation around, which is very difficult.

Zuo Ci listened to Wang Can's words and thought of the opportunity to preach in Kyushu, and his heart was extremely excited.

He thought about it for a while, and said secretly: Brother Pang and Brother Sima, I have wronged the two of you. Zuo Ci looked at Wang Can and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, Lao Dao has agreed, and he will definitely go to Jingzhou to persuade Sima Hui and Pang Degong to settle in Yizhou." ”

Wang Can made inches in, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry!" ”

Zuo Ci frowned and asked, "Lord Wang, if you have any requirements, let's say them together." ”

Wang Can smiled and said: "Daoist, let's solve the matter of Pang Degong and Sima Hui first, and then discuss the development of Taoism, what do you think?" ”

Zuo Ci was impatient, but the situation was out of control, so he had to nod and agree.

Wang Can continued: "Although the Taoist chief promised to invite Pang Degong and Sima Hui to settle in Yizhou, he did not say how long it would be completed. If the Taoist chief opens his mouth and agrees, but drags on this matter, it will not be in vain for me, so I hope that the Taoist can give a definite time. ”

The corners of Zuo Ci's mouth twitched slightly, Wang Can was too fine.

Once the time is limited, Zuo Ci can't shirk the matter, and can only be at the mercy of Wang Can.

Wang Can looked at Zuo Ci with a smile and asked, "Dao Chief, what do you think is the most appropriate time?" Whether it's three months, five months, half a year, or a year. Daoist, I must be given an exact amount of time before I can continue to talk about the following matters, and I ask for the understanding of the Taoist Chief. ”

Zuo Ci secretly scolded Wang Can in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't fool Wang Can, so he could only say: "Lord Wang, it is not easy to convince Pang Degong and Sima Hui, and it will take three years to say the least. ”

"Three years?" Wang Can showed a surprised expression and refused: "No, at the latest a year and a half." ”

Zuo Ci retorted: "At least two and a half years. ”

Wang Can said again: "Two years, if the time is broader, there is no need to discuss it." ”

Zuo Ci smiled and said, "Okay, two years is two years." ”

Wang Can saw that Zuo Ci readily agreed, and knew that the old Taoist priest had deliberately extended the time and set the time at two years. However, Wang Can didn't care, because Yizhou had gone through a series of battles and needed time to rest, so he had enough time to wait.
