Chapter 397 A monk in white came by boat
Lao Qin asked someone to read the calendar and the marriage was scheduled to be after one month. The family began to get busy, decorating the house and preparing the bride price. According to local rules, there are six steps to get married, including six steps: Na Cai, Na Zheng, Na Zheng, and welcome the bride.
However, Ji Junbi had no relatives at his family. Yang Yichao, who had originally seen her grow up, was far away in a foreign land, and only the two elders of the Demon Sect could treat them as the female family. The two of them ignored these things and omitted some of the steps. Even so, Sanli and Sanjin also spent a lot of money.
When Magistrate Wu learned that I was going to get married, he sent his master to send him five hundred taels of silver and brought him a cart of common things for weddings. This made Lao Qin a little flattered. I said that if he returned it, he might not be able to leave the stage, so it would be better to take it down. When the invitation is sent, he will give him one.
I wrote a few letters to Wu De and others, called him back to help, and asked the escort agency for marriage leave. I am now considered an outsider of the escort agency. Although I have a title and have no actual position, I am happy with it. Anyway, I don’t see that little salary anymore.
In my letter to Liu Qingfeng, I sent him a warm invitation, saying that people can not come and send them money, but people will not come, and money will not come. This is not appropriate.
More than ten days later, when I received a reply, Liu Qingfeng said that he was busy recently and the boss refused to approve the leave, so he might not be able to attend the wedding in person. He would celebrate alone when I returned to the capital.
As for the share money, Liu Qingfeng wrote me a blank note, saying that this coupon could be worth 1,000 taels of silver. When he and Xiao Yuer and Mingyue got married, they would ask me to add 200 taels, and they would regard it as 1,200 taels.
Looking at the reply letter, I was so amused and crying. Ji Junbi picked up the letter and said that you are not careful in making friends with three views. I sighed, except for my better vision of choosing a wife, I have no other skills.
At this time, I heard someone ask at the door, "Is Sanguan at home?" When I went out, I saw Gou Sheng bringing Zhang Baichun in. I said, "Brother Gou Sheng is quick and please come inside."
After drinking a few cups of tea, I saw Gou Bao want to speak but stopped and asked, "We are all brothers, just say it if you have something to do."
Gou Sheng said it was not for Baichun's kid. Since he slashed the Song family's gate with one sword, Baichun's kid is like a devil's obstacle. He is pestering to learn martial arts every day, so I have no choice but to come to see if I can accept an apprentice and pass on a move and half a move.
I asked Zhang Baichun, why did you learn martial arts?
Zhang Baichun clenched his fists and said, I want to be a hero.
Why be a hero?
Once you become a hero, no one can beat you in a fight!
I said that learning martial arts is not about being voluntarily or fighting, but about being a childlike heart, doing chivalrous and righteous, standing up for injustice, punishing good and promoting evil. Do you understand?
Zhang Baichun shook his head, don’t understand. What does it mean?
I said that I just saw someone unhappy, so I would beat you up until I was obedient.
Gou Sheng asked, look at my son.
I said that the qualifications are average, but if you study hard, you may not achieve nothing. Don’t be in a hurry to kowtow. If you have time during this period, I will teach you first to see if you are the material. At four o’clock in the morning every day, you will wait at my doorstep.
The next morning, Zhang Baichun arrived on time. I threw him a shoulder pole and two buckets, pointed to a broken urn with a hole at the bottom of the hole, went outside to fetch water, and filled the broken urn before dark.
The hole in the broken jar was the size of a tea bowl, and the pond was half a mile away from the house. Zhang Baichun rushed to the ground and fed the water. The water in the jar had almost leaked. At noon, he was a little tired and the water in the jar was bottomed out.
Zhang Baichun gasped and said, "Uncle Sanguan, you are bullying people."
I said I wanted to enter the industry, so I will first tell you the rules of the world. No matter what sect or sect in the world, the first rule is to listen to the master's words and do what the master arranges. Do not deceive the master and destroy the ancestors. If you don't want to do it, then please do it.
I thought to myself that when I was studying art, I woke up in the early morning every day, starting from carrying water, sweeping the floor, serving tea, and pouring water. After being an apprentice for a year, I didn’t even learn some fur martial arts. Instead, I worked hard every day and gave myself a better foundation.
At that time, I didn’t know much about these things. Why did I do some vulgar work in my first year of joining the sect and didn’t even have the chance to touch a sword, let alone learn advanced swordsmanship. The only training was to get up at the early morning and be taught to climb Mount Tai.
Later I gradually realized the truth. In the first year, one is to strengthen the body and the other is to examine the mind and nature. Learning martial arts is a lonely and boring thing. Its boringness is no longer as good as sweeping the floor and carrying water every day. Some people have higher qualifications and better talent, and if they can't stand their temperament, they will probably be defeated in the first year.
Think about it carefully, in the few months before joining the escort agency, except for the Persian and Ming Cult, no one did it step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step. A famous family believed that he was an escort and was not a escort. As a result, he was sent by the leader to escort. He went out and never came back.
After one day, Zhang Baichun was very troubled. Seeing that it was almost done, I said, "Go back and come here early tomorrow morning." Three days later, Zhang Baichun would not come. Gou Sheng came to me and asked me why I didn't teach my martial arts and just let me carry water?"
I smiled and said, "It's only been a few days ago. I've been in the Taishan Sect for a year. If I really want to learn martial arts, wouldn't I have to suffer so much? Gou Sheng felt sorry for his son, so he gave up the matter of learning martial arts."
After the Demon Cult evacuated the Central Plains, Murong Villa did not make any big moves, and the world became calm. Murong Villa did not deliberately take over the industry left by the Demon Cult. What Xiaosheng reported on the River and River were only some interesting stories in the river and river, and as for the battle in Putuo Mountain, no mention of any words.
After the imperial court defeated the Northern Zhou Dynasty and signed the alliance under the city, he returned triumphantly after a shame twenty years ago. It is said that a grand welcoming ceremony was held in the capital.
During his six months of absence, Zhu Runze supervised the country and took the seal of Taiping. However, as soon as Emperor Ming returned to Beijing, he demoted all the people promoted by Zhu Runze over the past six months, and most of the government orders signed were dismissed, which was a bit confusing.
Since ancient times, emperors have always been difficult for them. Once a person stands above the peak of power, he will not want to hand over power. First, he is addicted to this kind of power and cannot extricate himself. Second, he loses the protection of power and his own safety is also threatened. Therefore, the emperor is guarding like a thief.
Thinking of this, Emperor Ming can understand these actions.
The wedding date is approaching, and family and relatives are all busy. Junbi and I can’t help much, so the two of us sneak out to travel and enjoy the water, and they are so happy.
Dongping County has beautiful mountains and rivers, outstanding people and beautiful places, but it is also an excellent place. The weather is clear that day, and the two of them came to Yunqing Lake. It was summer. Lotus flowers bloomed on the lake surface, and the sky was green and red, which was refreshing.
Rent a small boat and raft on the lake. The breeze is coming, and the lake is covered with green clothes. As the saying goes: the water paddling on the small bridge, the lotus flowers are cut, and the west wind on both sides is dizzy. It looks like the first banquet of the Yaochi Pool, and the drunken face of the concubine Wan was covered with luster.
When she first met Ji Junbi, she was seasick and afraid of water. Now she is still calm when she sails together.
There is a pavilion in the middle of Yunqing Lake called the Wishing Pavilion. The boatman told us that this Wishing Pavilion is very effective. Every year, people come forward to make wishes to men and women at the Wishing Pavilion. There are rumors that couples who come to Yunqing Lake do not make wishes, and they will part.
I laughed and said, "Is that true?"
The boatman smiled awkwardly and told the truth. In fact, this wishing pavilion was a pavilion built by our boat trip on Yunqing Lake. The business here was not good before, but later a master came up with this idea and made up some stories about men and women complaining. Sure enough, more customers came to see him, and the business was much more popular than before.
I thought to myself that these people have understood the hearts of people. If there are more people in the world just because of the beautiful scenery and more beautiful people in the world, they will go wherever they go. But if you add this wishing pavilion, it will immediately become different. Men and women seek marriage, officials seek promotion, and business seek wealth. This is considered to be a clear understanding of people's hearts and makes people willing to pay.
After paying the boat fare, I came to the wishing pavilion in the middle of the lake. There were four big words written on the pavilion on the east side, and I would agree with all my requests. I don’t know who changed it to be hard when there is a ball.
I have always believed in the sayings of gods and ghosts. I have neither respected them nor flocked to them, and treated them with a normal heart. Ji Junbi asked me what wishes I had? I secretly said in her ears, when will I give birth to a fat baby, which made her look so embarrassed that her face turned red.
Since becoming a Overlord, Ji Junbi's complexion has improved significantly, and his expression has not been as cold as before. This can be seen from his interactions with his family and relatives.
After queuing for a long time, I finally arrived at the wishing pavilion. When I looked up, I looked at the statue of the god offered in the wishing pavilion and was shocked.
Above the lobby, a statue of god more than two meters high, covered with black armor, stood there, holding a scepter, and a mark was carved in the middle of his forehead, which was the hexagram.
Although I knew it was just a clay statue, I was shocked. When Ji Junbi saw me, he looked solemn and asked me what was going on. I shook my head and said it was a bit weird here. Let's go out and talk about it.
When I came out of the wishing pavilion, I asked the old man who set up a stall next to me how long has this wishing pavilion been built? The old man said it had been more than two years. At that time, some craftsmen from other places came and built the pavilion within a few days.
I asked Ji Junbi, do you think this statue is a bit weird?
Ji Junbi said, I was about to say just now that our Manichaeism believes in the two gods of light and darkness. The statue of the god just now is the god of darkness in our holy teachings. It's just...
Just what?
Ji Junbi continued to say that for hundreds of years, the Holy Church has been honored by the God of Light, but the God of Darkness has always been dormant in the dark. The secret book records that this six-pointed star is the seal of the God of Darkness.
I thought it was a bit strange, so I had to wait until Sansu came back to ask him. Calculate the day and it was almost time to arrive.
The sunset is about to set, and the red clouds are reflected on the lake surface, as if burning. Ji Junbi and I are on a boat and are about to go back.
At this time, a sense arose in my heart. Looking west, a monk in white stood on the boat on the fiery red lake. The boat was automatically galloping towards us without wind.
One meter before us, the boat suddenly stopped.
The monk in white put his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name. The monk's name was anemia. He was a monk who was placed in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang and had met the donor of Qin.
It’s White Horse Temple again!
