Xi'an, as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, had a deep cultural heritage that was comparable to any historical city in the world. The ancient capital stood tall and bustling with people. The streets were filled with traffic and tourists.
In this capital city, it was obvious that the era was divided. There were young men with short hair wearing western suits and ties, old men wearing mandarin jackets and long braids, graceful girls wearing flag clothes, and young women wearing white princess dresses and exaggerated white hats.
Zhou Zhao's carriage slowly merged into the crowd. Looking at the scenery around him, he couldn't help but sigh softly. This era, to the people living in this ancient land, was definitely a change that had not happened in a thousand years.
Some people worked hard to learn, some were dispirited and resigned to their fate, some went with the flow, and some dared to fight.
" However, if the Qing Dynasty doesn't perish, all their hard work will turn into dust. Not only will the Qing Dynasty absorb the people's wealth, but it will also drag all the reforms into the abyss. How can we build without destruction? It's easier said than done to reform the old…"
Zhou Zhao randomly found a rather elegant inn and immediately jumped off the carriage. At the entrance of the inn not far away, a servant immediately came over to hold the carriage. Another servant shouted,"Welcome, sir. Are you here to wait or to stay?”
"Get a better room and a few of your signature dishes. We'll eat in the hall!”
After the servant led Zhou Zhao's carriage away, Zhou Zhao directly walked into the inn.
"Alright, please wait a moment. I'll arrange it for you later!”
It was already close to evening, and there were already some customers eating in the inn's lobby. When they heard the commotion at the door, many people subconsciously glanced over, and their eyes lit up.
What greeted everyone's eyes was a young Taoist priest with a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and sparkling skin. He wore a wide Taoist robe, but not only did he not look bloated, but his every move gave off an otherworldly and elegant feeling.
"Guest, please take a seat!"
The waiter wiped the table by the window and hurriedly invited Zhou Zhao to take a seat. Then he left the hall and began to arrange for the dishes to be served.
"Heh, it's been interesting recently. I can see Taoist priests everywhere I go.”
"Many people are just greedy for fashion and are not real Daoists. This is all thanks to Immortal Zhou's family. They killed the arrogant foreign devils. I heard that the overseas countries that had been clamoring before now no one dares to jump.”
"That's right. I heard that there have been rumors in the palace that the Empress Dowager intends to confer the title of the Zhou family as the True Immortal Protector of the Country, the Supreme Subtle True Lord, and wants to build a golden temple in the country.
"Immortal Zhou has really brought about the wind of worshipping the Dao!”
At this moment, when they saw Zhou Zhao wearing a Daoist robe, the surrounding customers immediately began to discuss in low voices.
Ever since Zhou Zhao's cultivation had gradually grown, his hearing and sight had become sharp. Now that he deliberately wanted to gather information, he naturally heard everyone's words.
However, Zhou Zhao's expression was still very calm. This news had spread like wildfire for more than ten days. As for whether it was true or false, it did not matter to Zhou Zhao.
"Ha, the Qing Dynasty can come to this point because of this old woman.”
"It's not just this woman. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, firearms were also flourishing and were at the forefront of the world. Do you know why they declined so much? That was because they were afraid of us Han people. Today, the Qing Dynasty was blown down by the strong ships and cannons of the foreigners.”
"Watch your words, watch your words. It's the commoners who are suffering. Fortunately, Immortal Zhou's family appeared.”
"The empress dowager and the emperor have abandoned Beijing to escape. How can the world be safe?”
"This western-style stuff is really good. I can buy more in two days.”
……
At this moment, in the inn, many people changed the topic after discussing the Taoist priest. They began to whisper and discuss other things.
Zhou Zhao ate his meal unhurriedly, listening to everyone's discussion, but he didn't feel bored.
An hour later, after Zhou Zhao had finished eating, he went up to his room and sat down on the couch. He began to cultivate the Purple Glow Divine Art. In the past few days, Zhou Zhao felt his true qi surge like a tide, and his blood and qi surged. The Purple Glow Divine Art gradually approached perfection.
If he didn't feel wrong, the breakthrough would be tonight!
