The old woman of Miao Zhu of the Buried River Water Temple was a close confidant of the local governor's mansion. In addition to the governor's recommendation, she also spent a lot of money from her family to establish relationships with the rites office of Mirage City, so that she could occupy such a lucrative position. I don't know.
How many Qi practitioners are jealous. The old woman used the method of burning incense to complain to Biyou Mansion. Now she has stopped without the Water Goddess mentioning anything. She has completely lost the thought of revenge. She dare not, absolutely not
dare.
The young gentleman from Dafu Academy could kill her with just one fart.
Why has the Daquan Dynasty prospered over the past decades, with the vague influence of the alliance leaders of various countries in the central part of Tongye Continent?
In addition to the wise emperor and the gathering of civil servants and generals, everyone knows that it is because there is a gentleman in Mirage City that traditional powerful countries such as the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty do not even have a single sage in the academy.
The academy gentleman in front of me is so young, which is a great intimidation in itself.
There is a huge difference between being a young prodigy and winning the first prize in one fell swoop.
The old woman who prayed in the temple and the old monk who returned to the shore were like two erring boys waiting to be photographed by the Master.
The two old gods in the eyes of the common people have a very ordinary relationship with Biyou Mansion. They know that the Water Goddess Empress despises them from the bottom of her heart. Due to the face of the Governor's Mansion and the imperial court, the Empress turned a blind eye to the matter of making money.
As long as it doesn't go too far, I won't argue with their Water Temple.
It's just that tonight is a bit difficult.
Because the Water Goddess and the temple are no longer their talismans.
Zhong Kui scolded sternly: "One is the temple priest in charge of the incense in the temple, and the other is the monk stationed in the Daquan court. They don't have any compassion at all. They don't care about the crime, and they just use their power to commit crimes. No wonder this water ghost buried under the river is like this."
Besides the evil caused by the big demon, you two are also to blame!"
The old woman and the old monk were so frightened that their faces were as white as white as snow. The golden words behind the Academy Master's "correct clothes" were worth ten thousand catties, and they were not false words.
The short woman said in a deep voice: "The overflow of ghosts buried in the river is mainly my fault."
Zhong Kui waved his sleeves without betraying the Water Goddess, "It's two different things! These two people have such important responsibilities, but they want to save worry and effort on everything and refuse to ask more questions or think more about it. What a dereliction of duty! What a dereliction of duty they have!
It’s not like the rich men who are just lying around and enjoying their fortunes, seeking their own political affairs. Here, every move they make is related to the fate of the imperial court!”
The two of them were about to burst into tears.
Judging from this posture, the court's justice has been involved. If the young gentleman continues to rely on the purpose of the academy, wouldn't the two of them be in danger?
The old woman was the first to kneel down and beg for mercy, which was nothing more than words she would never do again in the future.
The old monk also bent down and bowed, saying that he was ashamed of his trust in the imperial court and would definitely work hard in the future.
Zhong Kui snorted coldly: "If you commit your first offense, you will be dealt with by the Water Goddess."
The two people quickly stood up to express their thanks, and then asked the Water Goddess for forgiveness.
Zhong Kui thought that the two of them were an eyesore, so he waved his sleeves and reprimanded: "Why don't you quickly go back to the temple to think about your mistakes behind closed doors? Don't embarrass yourself here!"
The two left in embarrassment.
Zhong Kui turned to the short woman and said sternly: "As the god of buried river water, worshiped by all people, you should take care of the people below and don't always stare at the river monster. The matter of Shinto incense is not just about killing.
If the people who burn incense are sincere, even if there is only one stick of incense a year, the incense will not be cut off. But if everyone in the jurisdiction is greedy for profit, and they come here to burn incense just to get it, and they don't have much sincerity towards you, what can hundreds of people do?
The incense smoke fills the sky every year. Even at night, there are hundreds of people waiting outside to enter the temple to burn incense. The momentum is greater than that of the Confucian Temple and Chenghuang Pavilion in Mirage City. The real weight of the incense is how many kilograms it weighs every day.
Ordinary people don't know, and temple blessings don't know. As a buried river god, how can you not know? If it hadn't been for the existence of the Inspiration Queen's Palace to help you win over a large number of sincere women to offer incense to you, you would have been killed by that gifted river demon long ago.
, wipe out the Water Temple and destroy Biyou Mansion!"
The short woman felt guilty and shy for the first time.
Zhong Kui stopped talking.
Chen Ping'an's heart has calmed down. He has traveled around the world twice. Outsiders mention Mr. Qi and the literary sage and old scholar only three times.
Shen Wen, the City God of Caiyi Kingdom in Aquarius Continent, and the old Taoist from Ouhua Blessed Land mentioned the theory of order, and the Water Goddess in front of me actually read the book and became an admirer of the literary sage and old scholar... , and it’s not just ordinary admiration, it’s almost obsession. Even Chen Ping’an didn’t dare to talk about the knowledge of the old gentleman, and the sage teacher was just on par. When Cui Dongshan talked about his former teacher, he only said that the knowledge of the literary sage was universal. In the eyes of scholars in the world, he is like the sun in the sky, and he is not compared with any of the saints in the Confucian Temple.
What's more, requesting a Confucian classic from Dafu Academy and enshrining it in the temple involves the foundation of a god's golden body. Furthermore, it also involves the promotion of the palace to the palace that the mountain and water gods dream of.
Chen Ping'an was shocked and puzzled but also sincerely happy about this short woman's decision.
It's like there is a vast sea of ​​people in this world, and you finally meet someone who has the same mindset.
Zhong Kui said to Chen Pingan: "Do you know why it makes sense? It's not just a matter of two slaps, it's not even my status as a gentleman."
Chen Ping'an was really curious and asked sincerely: "How do you say it?"
Zhong Kui looked generous and said: "It is the contribution of our Confucian academies to use the books of sages and educate them for thousands of years. Seventy-two academies have established themselves on nine continents, making everyone on the mountain and down the mountain feel in awe. If it is an academy Masters, if you only rely on force in everything, you will naturally be dissatisfied with your mouth and heart, and you will only accumulate disadvantages. I, Zhong Kui, am just a person who planted trees for others to enjoy the shade."
Chen Pingan felt a little weird.
Zhong Kui's current words and deeds were completely different from usual.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with what Zhong Kui said.
Zhong Kui rolled his eyes a few times, put his ears up and listened, and laughed out loud, "Sir, I'm finally gone. I must have dealt with the storm tonight. It's a blessing in disguise. Haha, maybe next time I return to the academy, I'll see you again." Give me some verbal praise."
Chen Pingan was speechless, this was the Zhong Kui he knew.
Burying the River Goddess was so impressed that she almost suspected whether this man's identity as a gentleman was forged.
Zhong Kui patted his belly and said, "The bowl of noodles I told you aroused my addiction. Let's go to your Biyou house for a late-night snack?"
Chen Ping'an frowned and said, "There is a midnight snack stall not far away."
Nowadays, Chen Pingan is no longer an inexperienced person. The statue of the literary sage and old scholar was not only moved out of the Confucian Temple, but also smashed. The books he wrote are banned in the world. At that time, the Seventy-two Colleges in Nine Continents were either The owner of the mountain came forward in person, and at least he was a gentleman abbot who was responsible for urging the courts in various places to implement this matter without making any mistakes.
Once he gets involved in the Buried River Temple, the Daquan Court and the Dafu Academy, as long as he is used by someone with intentions, he is very likely to harm others and himself.
The debate about context has been settled, and later generations have no need to reason with it. Why? Because the saints have already explained all the truth.
The exquisite Water Goddess seemed to have changed her mind and began to actively invite the two of them to Biyou Mansion. She smiled and said: "There is no stall outside the temple that can compare with the late night snacks of my Biyou Mansion. Let's go." , I just took out a jar of century-old wine to entertain the two distinguished guests."
She was thinking of using the identity of this academy gentleman to suppress the intimidation of the two Liu clans outside Biyou Mansion.
She was complacent, feeling that her strategy was no less than that of the river demon.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, smiling silly and cheerfully.
Chen Ping'an was a little helpless, and the Water Goddess was a bit too sincere. Isn't it easy to swallow the late-night snack of your Biyou Mansion? After all, wait until you have deceived the two into the mansion, and you can enjoy it secretly.
Zhong Kui pretended to be blind and turned a blind eye. He pulled Chen Ping'an and said he only wanted to see the wine that had been stored in the cellar for a hundred years. It was not as good as the five-year-old green plum wine in the inn.
Tonight, when she showed up at the Water Temple, it was no longer possible to hide it from the public, and Zhong Kui scolded the temple's old woman on the spot. The short woman simply let go of her hands and feet, and reached out to grab the buried river. The river suddenly stirred up, and a water column gushed out, rushing towards the bank.
Later, it transformed into a lifelike yellow dragon, one hundred feet long. When it came to the outside of the temple on the mountain, the dragon bowed its head docilely, and the buried river god jumped on the dragon's head. Zhong Kui pulled Chen Ping'an and floated up, standing between the necks of the Yellow River dragon.
.
It twisted its body, returned to the river from the shore, and swam swiftly downstream toward Biyou Mansion.
The people on the shore who were waiting for the door to open to burn incense saw with their own eyes the heroic appearance and supernatural powers of the Water Goddess. They all knelt down and kowtowed. After they stood up, everyone's face was full of joy. They felt that their trip was worthwhile and they were able to see the Water Goddess appear. What a blessing it was.
!
The three of them rode the dragon formed by the river and soon arrived at the Biyou Mansion located in the lonely mountain forest. It seemed to be quite far away from the river, but in fact, underneath the mansion, it was connected to the water veins. The mansion was located in the center of a formation.
Being able to gather the buried river water essence and absorb the incense and luck of the entire buried river water area is the foundation of the buried river water god. The golden statue in the temple is just an external manifestation.
The pair of Taoist masters and disciples at the door, Baozhen Taoist Yin Miaofeng and disciple Shao Yuanran, who were born in Jinding Temple, not only ate the water goddess's rejection, but also had a late-night snack. The old housekeeper asked the cook to make some delicious and delicious dishes.
Specialty dishes, plus two jugs of fine wine, were served to the two people who threatened not to leave until they saw the Water Goddess. The old housekeeper felt a little guilty. The two guests who came from afar were very good-tempered and neither broke into the mansion nor did they
To put it bluntly, the old man Bao Zhen just smiled and asked for the midnight snack, which moved the old housekeeper at the door who was afraid of being beaten to death.
The dragon turned into a stream and quickly disappeared on the ground outside the mansion.
Zhong Kui understood in his heart and glanced at the short woman next to him. The Water Goddess smiled dryly and pretended to be stupid.
When the master and apprentice saw Zhong Kui, they immediately stood up to greet him. After walking down the steps, they called the inspector and signed up for their number.
Although they had not seen Zhong Kui leave the inn to teach the two princes a lesson with their own eyes, Yin Miaofeng had heard the name Zhong Kui for a long time. It was the two of them who first discovered that every time the Yao family's cavalry was in
When a battle is fought on the border, a slovenly green-shirted scholar will appear in the distance from the battlefield. He will watch the battle from a distance and never interfere. After the war ends, he will quietly leave. Afterwards, the war will resume elsewhere, and he will quietly arrive wearing a green shirt.
Yin Miaofeng used his status as a worshiper to ask Mirage City about this matter, but no one could find out his true identity. Later, with the help of his master's Golden Summit Temple, he learned that Zhong Kui was the youngest in the history of Dafu Academy.
A gentleman is a sage at the age of twelve. A gentleman at the age of eighteen gets the prefix of the title of gentleman at the age of twenty. "Gentleman", getting the word "gentleman" is not something that an academy mountain master can decide. It requires the gentleman's culture.
Only through personal research by the saints from the academy, and then through the unanimous approval of several saints who have statues of gods in the Confucian Temple, can they pass the test.
Because every gentleman is also known as a quasi-sage.
The reputation of Dafu Academy is not as good as that of the other two at the north and south ends of Tongye Continent, but within the Confucian circles of Yizhou and in the eyes of Zongzitou Xianjiadongfu, Zhong Kui, as a scholar born and raised in Tongye Continent, is very popular among all parties.
