Chapter 20 Taoism
Qing Yanrou was simply acting bravely to help others. After giving a brief statement, she left the police station amid the praise of many police officers.
"Wow, Rourou, you're so amazing! You even know martial arts!"
On the way back to school, Qing Yanrou was flattered by Li Manxiang all the way, and received many alumni's stops and admiring glances.
As soon as the two arrived at the dormitory door, they saw a group of people gathered at the door. When the onlookers saw Qing Yanrou coming back, they all ran to her.
"Miss, you look so handsome today!"
"Yeah, yeah, that's awesome!"
Faced with the enthusiasm of the crowd, Qing Yanrou really couldn't handle it. Fortunately, the other three helped persuade everyone to leave.
"Rou Rou, I didn't expect you to have such great skills. You must have practiced for a long time. You are amazing. Not only are you good at studying, but you also have such a strong side. My dear, what else do you have that I don't know, huh?"
Han Nianlu hugged Qing Yanrou tightly, hanging her whole body on her, and asked teasingly.
"What's going on with these people?" Li Manxiang asked what Qing Yanrou was most concerned about.
"Of course I saw Rourou's slender figure on the forum and came over to express my respect."
"No way, it's only been less than an hour!" Li Manxiang was very surprised.
At this time, Yi Cong'an, who had been silent at the side, showed them his phone and said, "This is the information age, it's normal. And look, it's not only popular on the forum, it's also trending on Weibo."
After hearing that the news was trending on Weibo, Han Nianlu let go of Qing Yanrou, whom she was hugging tightly, and took Yi Cong'an's phone.
"Let me see, wow, it's already number 26 on the trending search list. A girl from University B bravely kicked a gangster away, and all the netizens are praising you."
Finally, when Han Nianlu let her go, Qing Yanrou stretched her body and ignored them, but went to the bathroom to wash up and prepare for bed.
She was tormented by those ugly and weird ghosts in her dreams last night, and tonight she just wanted to have a good sleep.
The other three people seemed to have become a hot topic themselves, and spent the whole night on Weibo watching netizens praising Qing Yanrou in various ways, which made them lack energy in class the next day.
The first class at the beginning of the school year was Introduction to Journalism. The teacher spoke passionately at the podium, and the three students were drowsy. In contrast, Qing Yanrou was in high spirits and listened with great interest.
After class, they finally regained their energy and Han Nianlu led them to the cafeteria of University B.
"Excuse me, are you Qing Yanrou?"
A boy wearing a white T-shirt and with a sunny face stopped in front of Qing Yanrou and asked with a smile.
Qing Yanrou looked at the person in front of her with confusion, while Han Nianlu and the other two glanced back and forth between the two of them, looking at them gossipingly.
Feeling Qing Yanrou's puzzled look, the boy smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Bai Yi, a disciple of Baiyun Temple."
Li Manxiang, who was standing next to him, saw that Bai Yi was a Taoist priest and thought that he was going to talk to Qing Yanrou about some mysterious things, so she pulled Han Nianlu and the other two over.
"Rou Rou, let's go to the cafeteria and reserve a seat first."
Han Nianlu and the other person were dragged away in confusion. "Hey, Manxiang, what are you doing? I want to hear what that little brother has to say."
Han Nianlu's dissatisfied voice gradually faded away.
"Are you okay?"
Looking at Bai Yi in front of her, Qing Yanrou asked curiously.
"I saw in that video online that you used a talisman yesterday? I've never seen a talisman that can immobilize a person. May I ask which Taoist master you learned from?"
Bai Yi looked interested and stared at Qing Yanrou with shining eyes when talking about the immobilization talisman from yesterday.
"Inkstone View, see a Taoist priest."
"Hmm? Yantai Temple? I've never heard of it in the Taoist sect."
Bai Yi was full of doubts. To possess talismans that were not currently circulated in the Xuanmen, one must be from a big Xuanmen family or a famous Taoist temple. However, he had never heard of this Yantai Temple.
"Taoism? What department is this?" Qing Yanrou heard this word for the first time.
"No way, classmate Qing, you haven't even heard of Taoism. Didn't your master tell you?"
Bai Yi was stunned by Qing Yanrou's reaction, and seeing that Qing Yanrou's face was not right, he hurried to remedy the situation.
"Ah, well, maybe your sect is a hidden sect and doesn't pay much attention to these things, haha..."
The further he spoke, the lower his voice became, and in the end he could only use laughter to cover up his embarrassment.
"Master Bai, can I ask what this Daomen means?"
Thinking that her own Taoist temple was in a remote mountain village and there was only one old Taoist priest, it was inevitable that she would not be well-informed. This Taoist sect sounded like an organization organized by all Taoist temples gathered together, so Qing Yanrou decided to find out more about it.
"How about we find a place to eat and talk?"
"good."
-
In a small stir-fry restaurant.
"Does this mean that the Dao Sect is a joint organization that has only been established for less than a hundred years and is associated with special state departments?"
After listening to Bai Yi talk for nearly twenty minutes, Qing Yanrou came to a conclusion.
"Well, you can understand it that way."
"Which is bigger, the Dao Sect or the Special Department?"
"Well, the Dao Sect provides talent for special departments, a bit like how college students provide excellent talent for all walks of life. Once you enter a special department, you will have a position. And in the Dao Sect, if you don't receive many tasks in a month and your salary is too low, you can apply for subsidies."
"So there's no hierarchical relationship between the two places. However, sometimes when the special departments are too busy or can't handle something, they'll ask the Dao Sect for help."
"Task?"
"Yes, the Taoist sect has developed an app specifically for this. Once you're certified as a Taoist priest, you can take on missions and receive corresponding rewards."
As Bai Yi spoke, he took out his mobile phone, opened an app called "Daoleme" and showed it to Qing Yanrou.
"Look, there are two sections here. This section is for ordinary people to register and post tasks, and this section is for certified Taoist priests to accept tasks. It is also used by Taoist priests to communicate with each other."
Bai Yi explained everything to Qing Yanrou one by one.
Qing Yanrou looked at the interface full of ordinary people posting tasks and felt a little moved.
She was worrying about how to develop her business and make money, and this was just like someone handing her a pillow when she felt sleepy.
“Can I download this app?”
"Of course you can, but you still need a Taoist certificate to pass the certification and take on the task. Take out your Taoist certificate and I will use the fast track to certify you." Bai Yi said warmly.
"Taoist certificate?" Qing Yanrou was confused again.
"You don't even have a Taoist certificate, do you?" Bai Yi was very surprised and even doubted whether Qing Yanrou was really a Taoist priest.
Qing Yanrou didn't know how to explain it. This Taoist sect had only been developed for less than a hundred years, so the founder certainly didn't know about it. Her grandfather had lived in Yantai Mountain for a long time and knew nothing about the outside world.
That's why after she came to Beijing, she realized that not only did there exist special departments and Taoist sects, but they could also perform rituals legally, and it would not be considered feudal superstition at all.
"How do I get a Taoist certificate?" Qing Yanrou asked embarrassedly.
"An exam."
