When they choose gods, they actually pay more attention to a person's legend and reputation among the people.

No matter whether that person is a historical celebrity, a character in a novel or a story, or simply a character made up by some people, as long as that person is widely known in folk legends and has a good reputation, Taoists will choose him as a god.

Take the Eight Immortals for example. The only one who entered the official history book is probably Cao Guojiu, and the others are basically untraceable.

This is because the compilation of history books is the business of Confucianism, and Taoist gods are naturally difficult to be recorded in official history. All gods in ancient China are inferior to historical figures.

The most powerful evidence is Guanyin Bodhisattva, but in order to avoid the taboo of Li Shimin, it was changed to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The name of Guanyin happened to be taken by Shen Wuhua, the queen of Chen Shubao, the last emperor of the Southern Chen Dynasty, when she became a nun. It just so happened that this queen had saved many civilians decades ago and was also famous.

Now, the bearded Guanyin Bodhisattva has completely become our own Guanyin Goddess.

Wang Zheng laughed and said, "Okay, go prepare some food for me, and a bamboo raft. After breakfast, I will be ready to return to Yuzhou."

"Ha ha."

After returning to Koi Beach, Wang Zheng asked to see Luo Wu, but was told that the clan leader was still drunk. The old man might be afraid that the two would feel awkward when meeting each other, so Wang Zheng did not force it.

Wang Zheng nodded, "This is an easy matter. When we get to Yuzhou, just let me know what you want. I will try my best to satisfy you."

Wang Zheng felt that the two guys were causing such a big battle here, perhaps just to attract him over.

The only valuable thing the two guys had was a bronze tripod weighing more than 100 kilograms. All the other things were almost destroyed. They packed up their things casually, took the bronze tripod and left with Wang Zheng.

In addition, the imperial court only valued Confucianism, which made these chemical talent resources scarce and there was not enough money to support them to do more experiments, so they could not develop well.

After returning to Yuzhou, Wang Zheng made a point to chat with Lu Yan and Qingxuzi and found that their level was quite good. Not only could they prepare crude gunpowder, but they could also use green alum to steam concentrated sulfuric acid and they also knew how to make soda ash from wood ash.

At this time, Zhang San, Li Si and others heard what Wang Zheng said, and naturally nodded in agreement.

You Lu Yan said, "Since the steward has invited us, we two will obey his orders. However, we are quite skilled in alchemy, so we hope that the steward can choose a secluded place to build a Taoist temple for us."

Also, tell him that the remaining things don’t need to be sent to other farms. Consider it my betrothal gift. If you need anything in the future, please send someone to Yuzhou to let me know.”

"Thank you, Steward. Your generosity will always be remembered by the people of Ba."

"Hahaha."

Wang Zheng smiled. This Taoist priest knows how to talk. "It's inconvenient to travel here. Why don't you two follow me to Yuzhou? Although I have no official position and am not a descendant of a noble family, I can still provide for your daily needs without any problem."

Making elixirs of immortality for emperors was a common way for Taoists to obtain scientific research funds.

Qingxuzi laughed and said, "This place is similar to the Koi Beach of the Grand Steward. It is correct to say that this place is Xichong County. It is also possible to say that this place is Langzhong County. Of course, to be precise, it is still within the scope of the Grand Steward's farm."

"Brother Lu Yan, your name is Dongbin?"

Remember to leave some betrothal gifts for the family. If you don’t have anything valuable on you, just leave the mules and horses you brought with you. You will go back by water anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether you take them back or not.”

It was quite fast to go back by bamboo raft and go downstream, but the river was turbulent in summer, which made it a bit thrilling. Fortunately, the Ba people grew up by the Yu River and were very good at operating bamboo rafts, so we had no danger along the way.

The Ba women were all very brave and not afraid at all. They even used bamboo poles to help steer the raft.

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "My name is indeed Dongbin. I wonder how the steward knew this?"

It actually costs a lot for Taoists to make elixirs, which is similar to scientific research in later generations, so they often turn to the royal family or other aristocratic families to obtain material support.

Wang Zheng frowned after looking at Zhang San, Li Si and the others. "Let's go back to Yuzhou later. Who did you spend the night with last night? Take that person with you later.

When the elders in the clan heard what Wang Zheng said, they immediately felt that the eldest lady was worth selling. They were afraid that if they made the eldest lady into a golden figure, they could get something of similar value in exchange.

Compared to a person who will accompany you for a lifetime, a mule or a horse is nothing. These people were picked out by Wang Zheng to go on the blind date this time, so they are naturally the ones Wang Zheng likes more.

It seems that our ancestors had a pretty good foundation in chemistry, but it's a pity that they went astray and always wanted to feed what they made to humans.

“Okay, when your clan leader wakes up, please give him my regards, and we will come to visit him another day.

Young lovers are at the age when they are getting used to the sweetness of love. After a month of being together, they become very much in love. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for them to separate, and they are unwilling to do so.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Zheng invited them, the two guys agreed immediately without even hesitating.

"There are rumors in Langzhong County that Lü Dongbin often treated people for free, looked at their feng shui, and donated food. He did a lot of good things. But this place is Xichong County, so I asked this question."

When they came, there were more than a dozen bachelors in the group, but when they left, they had become more than a dozen newlywed couples. This made Wang Zheng feel that this trip was the right one and the suffering they endured on the way was nothing.

Wang Zheng pondered for a long time and said, "How about this, you guys go pick a hill and see what kind of dojo you need. I'll send someone to build it for you. You can also let me know if you need anything.

You can build the Taoist temple bigger, and you can call all your fellow disciples and friends to come. Not only can I support you in refining the elixir, but I can also give each of you ten strings of money per month for your spending.

When your fellow friends arrive, you two will decide on a level, with monthly wages ranging from one to eight strings of coins. In addition, each of you can also bring some disciples.

Disciples also have monthly wages. Let's set it at 300 coins at the beginning, and increase it by 200 coins every year. When it reaches one string of coins, we will start to set ranks. That's the general rule. As for the specific matters, you guys should come up with a set of rules for me."

Lu Yan and Qingxuzi were overjoyed and bowed together, saying, "Thank you, Steward."
