Chapter 161: high priest

When Qi Wen picked up the water from the bottom of the mountain and saw Taoist Qingsong wake up, he was also pleasantly surprised. He bluntly said that he had slept for almost five days.

Hearing this, Daoist Qingsong was stunned, and it was funny to hear the fate. It was thanks to Qi Wen that he still believed in himself.

However, what puzzled the two of them was that Daoist Qingsong had slept for the past few days. Apart from being thirsty, his stomach was not very hungry, even though he had a good appetite for lunch that day.

. . .

In the afternoon more than ten days later, Daoist Qingsong was using the set of health-preserving exercises in the Taoist temple. He pulled out a piece of the futon from the main temple of the Taoist temple, and sat cross-legged at the door of the temple watching "Yun Lun".

Qi Wen went down the mountain with dozens of copper coins and a basket on his back. He was going to buy some meat from the villages near the bottom of the mountain. The inventory in the Taoist temple has been exhausted.

It is mainly bacon sauce that is easy to preserve on the mountain. Of course, it will also bring some fresh meat. As for vegetables, there is no shortage of vegetables, and there are also a lot of rice grains.

Although Ji Yuan was reading, he also carefully observed Taoist Qingsong. After watching Qi Xuan practice a few rounds of health cultivation exercises, he looked at the incense burner outside and asked him a question with a smile.

"Master Qingsong, you are not very good at watching incense in Yunshan. I have been here for the past few days. Except that Qi Wen will light three incense sticks in the morning, I have never seen a pilgrim from outside."

Taoist Qingsong answered Jiyuan only after finishing the posture of closing the power.

"Mr. Ji, you are joking. Our Taoist temple does not offer statues. What do the people at the foot of the mountain ask for? Occasionally, a big family comes to ask for the name of a descendant and come here to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, even if the Taoist temple is full of incense."

After Qi Xuan finished speaking, he added another sentence.

"Otherwise, why do I always go down the mountain to tell fortunes? Isn't this also to make some money to maintain Taoism?"

"Oh... the Taoist priest is well-intentioned!"

Ji Yuan gave a meaningful "Oh", making Daoist Qingsong slightly embarrassed.

"Occasionally it's itchy, occasionally..."

Ji Yuan did not delve into this, but continued to discuss it with Qi Xuan very seriously.

"Master, there are no statues of gods in your temple. Logically speaking, there is no need to worship incense all the time. Who is the incense for? This sandalwood also costs money."

"Who is it for... Naturally, it is for Zhou Tianxingdou and Tiandi."

The Taoist priest Qingsong thought about it for a while. He has been traveling with his master like Qi Wen since he was a child. All temples and temples have to offer incense. Some Taoist temples that he encounters even enshrine gods. I really want to say that there are no gods. Whoever the mountain view incense is given is heaven and earth.

"But this world doesn't accept your incense either."

Ji Yuan looked up, compared to Qi Xuan's naked eyes, he could see the real "incense".

"Ah? Heaven and Earth do not accept it?"

Taoist Qingsong was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. After all, the person sitting in front of the hall was Mr. Ji, but he was surprised for a while.

"If you don't accept it, don't accept it. If the world does not accept it, we can't be disrespectful!"

"The Daoist is right!"

Ji Yuan hugged the book and bowed his hands to Taoist Qingsong, and Qi Xuan also hurriedly returned the salute with a smile.

. . .

Qi Wen went down the mountain with a basket on his back, walked along the mountain road that master and apprentice often walked in Yunshan, crossed the mountain stream and walked over the ridge, and walked out of Yunshan in less than half an hour.

The nearest village at the foot of the mountain is called Yunkou Village. It is a village frequently visited by Taoists from Yunshan Temple. Sometimes there is a marriage, funeral, etc. in the village, or the help of a fortune-telling and a magician. Taoists from Yunshan Temple will also be invited. Pretty familiar.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, someone greeted Qi Wen.

"Chief Daoist Qi Wen, is coming down the mountain? Daoist Qingsong is not here today?"

"Yeah, Master is on the mountain. I'll come to the village to buy some food."

"Oh... My mother-in-law gave birth to a baby another day, please ask Daoist Qingsong to do the math."

"well!"

Qi Wen chatted with this man, and when he entered the village where chickens and dogs heard each other, some familiar old people would also say hello to Qi Wen, and some young people played with Qi Wen when they were young, and they were very enthusiastic.

As usual, I went to the village chief's house and a few village houses I knew well, and I could buy a lot of things for a few dozen pennies.

In an old farmer's house, a young village girl came over to give Qi Wen a few eggs or something, which made Qi Wen's face red and very embarrassed.

"Hahahaha... Qi Wen Xiaodao, I heard that you Taoists can get married?"

The old farmer who was helping Qi Wen slaughter a chicken laughed and asked the little Taoist priest.

Qi Wen has grown up now, and his face is really handsome. While practicing health-preserving exercises, he follows his master all the year round, and he is beaten from time to time. His body is also very strong, which is quite popular with rural women.

"Big, probably yes..."

"Hey hey, if you can return to the vulgarity, the little Daoist, with your strength and appearance, there are some good girls in the village!"

There were also a few girls peeking at Qi Wen and laughing outside the fence of the old farmhouse, which made Qi Wen feel a little hot.

"done!"

After going through the process of plucking the hair and removing the dirt, the old farmer wrapped the chicken and threw it into the basket of Qi Wen on the ground.

"Thank you Shen Bo, this is copper coins!"

Qi Wen handed over ten pennies. It is much cheaper to buy chicken in the village than in the county town, and chickens and ducks can only be considered small meat in many places in Dazhen, while cattle, sheep and pigs are big meat, unless of course farming cattle Death of old age or accident, otherwise beef can be met but not sought.

The old man took the copper coins and wanted to say a few words to Qi Wen, when a voice came from outside.

"Nah nah... That's it, Daoist Qi Wen from Yunshan Temple."

"Oh, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

The voice outside attracted Qi Wen's attention, and saw two men with four apparently servants hurriedly walked into Lao Long's courtyard from the outside.

One of the men, Qi Wen knew, was the one who was very angry when he asked Master to unravel the lottery that day.

'Honey, come to the door and fight? ’

Qi Wen's scalp was numb, and he looked left and right. This was in Yunkou Village. If he was beaten, the villagers next to him would probably help.

Fortunately, the visitor immediately understood the purpose of his visit.

"Little Daoist, my dear Huang Xingye, this is a friend of mine. I haven't seen you set up a stall in the county these days, so I came here to inquire about the location of Yunshan Temple. It's great to see you, your master. But on the mountain? Thanks to your master’s reminder that day, I was able to pass the test. I asked some vendors in front of the Chenghuang Temple, and they all said that you are Taoist priests on Yunshan Mountain, but you don’t know where you are in the mountain. I came to this village at the foot of the mountain. try your luck..."

The visitor said a series of words in one breath, Qi Wen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, not just to find fault.

"Master is naturally in Yunshan Temple, uh, this believer, do you need me to ask Master to come down the mountain to see you?"

"No, no, we'll just go to Guiguan to visit, how can we bother the Taoist priest to go down the mountain! I also brought a little gift down the mountain, just to take it up the mountain together!"

At this moment, Qi Wen realized that the other group of people were still carrying two burdens, and there were a lot of things in it.

"Then... a few believers, please follow me up the mountain!"

Qi Wen had no choice but to say goodbye to the villagers, and then took a few people up the mountain together. There are not many days when such a squire brought things up the mountain in Yunshanguan.

On the way, the man talked with Qi Wen about the specific reasons for his visit.

It turns out that Boss Huang is a wealthy family in the entire Dongle County. He has experienced a setback recently and almost lost his life, but it was also fortunate that he found Qingsong in front of the Chenghuang Temple in Dongle County that day. Taoist unsigned.

Although he was very angry that time, at least Daoist Qingsong managed to raise the man's awareness of the things around him to a level of vigilance, especially when the Daoist mentioned the "direction in his heart", and the signature can at least prove that the man I doubt the accuracy of the direction in my mind.

In addition to the seemingly perfunctory words like reminding him to do good deeds, the man simply did a good thing after he was in the town. He made up for the lack of funds for the land temple being built in the town at one time, and purchased it himself. A censer was delivered.

You must know that most of the incense burners are mixed with copper. Copper is money, and it is very valuable. Two sums of money can greatly improve the progress of the Temple of the Earth.

During that time, men were more cautious in everything than before, and even so, they almost failed to survive the disaster.

I didn't expect the other party to be so desperate, he dared to set fire to a dead house when he was staying at a friend's house.

Strange to say, that night in the friend's village, Huang Xingye and the friend who knew martial arts shared the same room, and the servants looked after them outside. The friends woke up together.

At that time, the smell of smoke was already outside. When the two rushed out, they found that the fire had started. One of the two servants of the Huang family was unconscious outside the house and the other disappeared.

At that time, the two woke up their friends and family members, and carried away the servants of the Huang family together, and then they found someone to put out the fire. In the end, although the fire was not put out, at least everyone was fine.

After that, Huang Xingye and his friends reported to the official ~lightnovelpub.net~ Because of the direction in his heart and the financial assistance from his family, the county government also made great efforts to detect the case, which made Dongle County to Maoqian Town lively for a while. .

After the fire, Huang Xingye didn't realize it at first, but later he felt more and more that the broken teapot was a sign of life-saving. After thinking about it, it became more and more mysterious, and his friends were not poor. The indoor floor, tables and chairs were all stable. It won't fall for no reason, so I think there are ghosts and gods helping.

This just happened to be in response to the donation from the Land Temple.

Today, Huang Xingye came to thank him, not because the matter has been resolved, on the contrary, there are still places that are more strange and tricky, so I thought of the Taoist who came to fortune that day.

Before Huang Xingye came here, he had inquired about the fortune-teller in Dongle County. In the end, he found that although the fortune-teller was sometimes unpopular or even beaten, it could be considered true, that he had beaten him. People have to finally admit it.

The strange thing is that this Taoist has been beaten several times, but he still enjoys setting up a stall. This is a bit unusual for a smart person like Huang Xingye. A skilled Taoist in the mountains still behaves so strangely. Well!
