Jialan Sect...
In the Golden City Mansion, Li Ang browsed through the local gazetteers from the Former Sui, lost in thought.
Just like the Pure Thought Sect to which Shixing Monk belonged, the Jialan Sect also had a Zen background.
The difference lay in that the Pure Thought Sect was the public face of Zen, often frequenting the Capital and Luoyang to preach to emperors.
The Jialan Sect, on the other hand, leaned towards... a grassroots approach.
Their main businesses were healing the sick and lending money.
In the Former Sui, Zen temples and Daoist temples were always an important part of the folk medical system. Monks and Daoists, having renounced worldly pursuits, had ample spare time. In addition to studying scriptures and pursuing their cultivation, they would occasionally dabble in Qihuang Medical Skill.
Over time, some monks and Daoists became well-known for their medical skills, attracting locals to visit and seek medical advice.
