Compared with the ancestral hall of Jiangfu being struck by lightning, it caused a sensation among ordinary people.
In the city, the nobles, big and small officials, squires and wealthy businessmen all learned more about the inside story last night.
They all looked at the Wu Zang Taoist Temple with astonished eyes.
When the daytime curfew ended, they immediately sent out their own eyes and ears to find out any information about the Five Zang Taoist Temple.
As a result, the information presented on their desks all contained records about unknown Taoist temples.
Talent withers.
Destitute.
Even the gentlemen in Liang Shang are too lazy to patronize it, and there is really no money to be made.
There are not many incense believers, only sporadic incense sticks from neighbors.
In the past, this Taoist temple of the five internal organs has always been a small Taoist temple that few people paid attention to. There are too many small Taoist temples and temples like this in the city, and no one will pay attention to them.
but.
This Taoist temple of the five internal organs seems to have suddenly risen overnight. It usually remains quiet, but at a critical moment, the hidden strength that emerges behind it shocks all the noble families in the city.
How did the Five Zang Taoist Temple achieve this, so that the three families of He, Xue, and Jia could put aside their past grudges and share the same hatred against the outside world?
Even Bailong Temple seems to be deeply involved.
According to the information sent by the spies, the changes in the Five Zang Taoist Temple seem to have started with the arrival of three people and one sheep in the Taoist temple. The He family took the initiative to expand and renovate the Taoist temple...
For a while.
There is an undercurrent surging in the city.
Many pairs of eyes have been quietly paying attention to the Five Zang Taoist Temple.
The outside world is full of strange clouds and waves.
It does not affect the happy little world of three people and one sheep in the Taoist temple.
Yesterday, we spent a whole day running around, rushing to the Jia family's ancestral graves, rushing back to Fucheng, and going to jail. Jin An and the old Taoist priest were tortured a lot. They slept soundly all day, and then they woke up in high spirits.
Today is a rare sunny day.
Just like Jin An and the old Taoist priest who slept until they woke up naturally, they felt indescribably comfortable.
After a day of fermentation, the news spread from ten to ten, and from ten to a hundred... Everyone in the whole city knew that the Jiang family's ancestral hall was struck by lightning and collapsed.
Even the masons in the Taoist temple were talking about this.
When the old Taoist priest who had just woken up from his sleep heard about the collapse of the Jiang family's ancestral hall, he excitedly said that he was very happy, but the masons were confused by what he heard.
"Little brother, do you think this is called retribution?" The old Taoist priest finally said to Jin An.
After a month of expansion, the Taoist temple is now almost completed.
All that is left is the painting and later reconstruction of the Gongde Hall.
We can already get a glimpse of the true appearance of the majestic and solemn Taoist temple. After the expansion, the Wuzang Taoist Temple now has four main halls, namely Sanqing Hall, Liuding Liujia Martial Hall, Wu Lei Emperor Hall, and the Gongde Hall, which has been half built.
"Master... I will be able to pick you up soon after the expansion of the Five Zang Taoist Temple is completed."
Jin An looked at the five-organ Taoist temple, which was getting better and better as it became more and more vigorous, and murmured something to the Hall of Merit and Virtue.
However, the originally appropriate atmosphere was broken by the thunderous sound of hunger around him, which brought Jin An back to reality.
Gululu——
Jin An turned to look at the old Taoist priest beside him.
The old Taoist priest stayed with Jin An for a long time and became familiar with him, but he became thicker-skinned: "Little brother, the Five Zang Taoist Temple has become very popular, and it will definitely be carried forward in your hands. But while carrying forward the Five Zang Taoist Temple, little brother, you
Look at our Five Zang Temple...do we need to replenish the remaining food?"
"Old Tao, I only ate a few sweet cakes in a hurry on the Jia family's carriage yesterday. Now you point a knife at me, Old Tao, and you can't scrape out a drop of oil or water."
The old Taoist priest held his belly with his chest pressed against his back due to hunger, and said with a grimace.
Gululu——
Jin An's stomach also protested with dissatisfaction.
So, Jin An took the old Taoist priest and his sharp sword and planned to go directly to a restaurant instead of cooking dinner in the Taoist temple tonight.
But as soon as the three of them walked out of the Taoist temple, Jin An realized something was wrong, and there were many pairs of eyes staring at them secretly.
Those secret whistle eyes are just watching and have no malicious intent.
Jin An frowned and glanced in the direction of the secret whistle. He swept the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe on the ground and swept up a small pile of pebbles on the roadside.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Jin An fired a dozen stones, all of which hit the open space next to the hiding place of the secret sentry.
This is just a warning.
really.
That kind of prying eyes have all disappeared.
"Little Taoist Priest Jin'an, Taoist Chen, you have finally woken up. I just have something for you. The Jia family asked me to deliver it to you."
Uncle Lin, who happened to be sitting at the counter of the coffin shop, folding paper money, saw the three of Jin An and took out a bundle and handed it to Jin An.
"The people of the Jia family originally wanted to hand this thing over to you personally, the Taoist priest Jin'an, but the Taoist priest Jin'an and Taoist Chen have been sleeping. After the incident last night, there are many follow-up things in the Jia family.
It is waiting for processing, so I have been waiting here for a long time and no one has arrived. The Jia family asked me to keep this baggage on my behalf and give it to you when I see you."
The baggage has three layers inside and three layers outside.
Cover it tightly.
When I unpacked the bag layer by layer, there were two things inside, a small gold box.
Jin An took the gold box with surprised eyes, wondering what the Jia family wanted to give him, so they actually needed the gold box to suppress China.
But when Jin An took the gold box, he felt that the weight was wrong. The gold box was too light, and it was probably just covered with a layer of gold foil.
Jin An opened the lid of the gold box in front of Uncle Lin, and he was stunned.
Even the old Taoist priest was stunned.
"Snake scales? Snake meat?" the old Taoist priest shouted in surprise.
"Tsk tsk, these snake scales are moist and shiny. They haven't lost their luster yet. They are probably the scales that just fell off recently."
What was placed in the gold box was a small piece of flesh and blood with a snake scale on it.
"Huh?"
"Why does this snake meat have human skin? This skin doesn't look like a man's rough skin at all. This is a woman's human skin?"
Good guy! The old Taoist priest took a breath.
But the flesh and blood is not the flesh and blood of a living person, but the flesh of a corpse that is nourished by Yin Qi and filled with evil spirits.
On the pieces of human flesh grows the most conspicuous snake scale, which shines brightly when placed in the sun.
No wonder the Jia family was so serious about sealing this piece of human flesh in a gold box. The scene in front of them was terrifying enough for ordinary people.
What kind of person grows snake scales?
"Snake girl?"
"The dead turned into snakes?"
Jin An and the old Taoist priest carefully studied the pieces of human flesh in the gold box.
Uncle Lin raised his eyes and glanced at the gold box. Perhaps it was because he was used to seeing too many dead people in a coffin shop. Uncle Lin acted calmly: "By the way, there is one more thing. Mr. Jia passed away at the last moment before dawn.
, even with his wealth and noble character, he could not survive this disaster in the end."
Uncle Lin's words shocked both Jin An and the old Taoist priest.
"Before I left last night, I specially removed the poison from Mr. Jia's body. Logically speaking, he should not have died from the poison..."
The old Taoist priest fell silent halfway through his words.
Why.
destiny.
Everything is fate.
Uncle Lin also shook his head and sighed: "This is why people don't fight against the sky."
"From the moment Mr. Jia carried his body ashore, he was already tainted with cause and effect. He was destined to have a disaster. This was to trade one life for another."
"So, the underworld has the order of the underworld, and the Yang world has the order of the Yang world. The ghost souls linger in the Yang world. Living under the same roof with your relatives is not missing your relatives but harming them. Because Yin and Yang are different, Yin Qi will suppress the living person.
Yang Qi. If Yang Qi is weak, the body will be weak and sick, and prone to accidents. In the same way, death is like a lamp going out. If the living person forcibly retains the dead person, the Yin and Yang will be reversed, the five elements will be chaotic, and the Yang world will no longer be the Yang world."
"At the beginning, I tried to dissuade Mr. Jia from going into the water to carry the body. Not only was it to prevent him from helping the tyrants, but I also wanted to save his life. But he didn't listen and went into the water to carry the body anyway."
There is an old proverb: "If the King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch?"
In the hands of the judge next to the King of Hell, there is a book of life and death. The book of life and death not only records a person's longevity, but also records a person's life merits.
When the negative virtues are compromised and the merits cannot be added up, the judge will cross out your name from the book of life and death with a single stroke of the pen in his hand, which is the moment of your death.
That's why people often say that if you do too many immoral things, your life span will be shortened.
Is Master Jia at fault?
From the perspective of a father and a daughter, he just did what a father should do. He missed his daughter and shouldered the responsibilities that a father should have.
So Master Jia must be right?
From the perspective of the general public, he was completely wrong. Because of his own selfish thoughts, a man carried a corpse ashore, disrupted the order of the world, and caused the tragic deaths of innocent people. What should we do with the wives, daughters, families, and parents of those innocent people who died tragically?
Mr. Jia has passed away, and he rests in peace. Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and Uncle Lin no longer judge too much whether what Mr. Jia did is right or wrong.
Because as long as it's human.
There will be a selfish side of human nature.
If you are not in your position, you don’t know how you feel.
After sorting out his troubling thoughts, Jin An looked back at the flesh and snake scales in the gold box: "Uncle Lin, the Jia family just sent the things here? Have they ever talked about the origin of the piece of flesh and blood?"
Uncle Lin continued to fold the paper money burned for the dead in his hand, while recalling: "The original words left by the Jia family at that time were that the captain led his soldiers to guard Jia's mansion all night to no avail. After daybreak, the Jia family began to clean up the ruins of the mansion.
At that time, the contents of the baggage were found near the explosion in the attic where Jia Zhidie lived. They didn't know what to do with it, so they asked me to hand over the contents of the baggage to the Five Zang Taoist Temple."
Didn't you wait until Jia Zhidie showed up?
This result was not surprising to Jin An at all.
General Duwei personally led the troops to guard the Jia Mansion, and there were so many soldiers surrounding the Jia Mansion into an iron barrel. The soldiers were full of vigor and masculinity, adhering to the fate of the country. If the number of people is too large, ordinary people will be evil and the corpses will be dead early.
He was frightened and ran away.
Found near Jia Zhidie's attic?
Jin An thought about the core ruins of last night's explosion. Wasn't it the small courtyard where Jia Zhidie lived? It was caused by the old man in the yin and yang robe when he exorcised Jia Zhidie.
Jin An couldn't help but have a thought in his mind and frowned: "Could this be Jia Zhidie's flesh and blood?"
The old Taoist priest was surprised and said, "Did I really get what I said, that Miss Jia Zhidie's body really turned into a snake after her death?"
Jin An thought about the scene for a while, then corrected: "It should be a dragon, right?"
"Jia Zhidie drowned in the Yinyi River, and was then married by the Dragon King to the Dragon Palace to become the Water Goddess. If she wanted to transform from a corpse to a dragon, she should also transform into a dragon."
When talking about this, Jin An thought of the snake scale claw that the wolf put on his shoulder from behind when he was walking in the underworld...
…
…
The next day.
Today is another rare sunny day.
A rumor spread quietly among the people that this was a successful sacrifice to the Water Goddess to please the Dragon King of Yinyi River. The Dragon King then stopped the rain and let the sun return to the world.
Leaving the sword sharpening behind to look after the family, Jin An and the old Taoist priests visited the families of He, Xue and Jia one by one throughout the whole day and came to express their thanks in person.
"Little brother, do you feel that the weather is getting hotter day by day?"
"It used to rain every day, but now the sun is blazing above my head. If I take two steps, I'll be out of breath. If I take three steps, I'll be sweating. If I take four steps, I won't recognize you. Because I feel like I'm going to be roasted. I will definitely not recognize you."
I'm here, you know."
With the eldest lady seeing them off, Jin An and the old Taoist priest had just come out of He Mansion. The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand to scratch his Taoist robe back and forth.
My back was soaked with sweat, my robe was stuck to my body, and the sweat was sticky, not to mention how much I suffered.
"Old man, I kind of miss the iced watermelon I just ate at He Mansion. It was so refreshing and refreshing."
Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest who looked like a foodie speechlessly: "Old Taoist, you are not afraid that you will spend most of the night squatting in the pit after eating too much."
To be honest, the sun is indeed a bit too hot today.
Fortunately, the Zang Qi in the Five Zang Immortal Temple in Jin'an was running on its own all the time, making his mind calm and naturally cool, so he didn't feel so uncomfortable.
In fact, the old Taoist priest just talked about it, and they went straight to the Jia family, the last family, without changing their schedule.
Today, the ruins of the Jia family are still there, but these ruins are not being cleared so quickly.
And over the ruins of the Jia family, a heavy haze hangs over them.
The death of Mr. Jia was a great blow to the Jia family.
From yesterday to today, everyone in the Jia family is wearing linen clothes, including the servants, and the maids must also wear linen to show their mourning. White silk and white lanterns are hung in the house, with the word "Dian" written on the white lanterns, creating a heavy atmosphere.
The Jia family paid special attention to the visit of Jin An and the old Taoist priest and went out to greet them personally.
"Supreme Taiyi Due Tianzun."
Jin An and the old Taoist priest came to the mourning hall and each offered a stick of incense to Mr. Jia.
With the permission of the Jia family, the old Taoist priest inspected Mr. Jia's body and found that the poison had been removed and there was no possibility of corpse transformation.
Because they had accepted the kindness of the Jia family, they took action to remove the body, but the body was not removed and they were imprisoned. The Jia family spared no effort to help them intercede with the governor and save them from prison. The Jia family's
Jin An and the old Taoist priest can't escape their kindness no matter what. People must know how to repay kindness. Therefore, the old Taoist priest and Jin An took the initiative to stay at Master Jia's mourning hall tonight and recite sutras to save Master Jia.
What the two of them were reciting was "The Mysterious Sutra of the Xuan Ling Bao Tian Zun in Taishang Cave to Save Suffering and Eliminate Sin".
"At that time, the Heavenly Lord who saves suffering is filling the realms of the ten directions. He is always using his majestic power to save all living beings and save them from being lost. All living beings are unaware, just like blindly seeing the sun and moon. I am too ignorant to lead without limit...
…”
Unknowingly.
It was already dark outside, and the Jia family hung up white wax lanterns.
In the dark, he seemed to sense something. Jin An, who was wearing a five-color Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, chanting sutras for salvation, opened his eyes.
From Mr. Jia's body in the coffin, a faint wisp of smoke floated, vaguely showing what Mr. Jia looked like during his lifetime.
At this time, Mr. Jia was peaceful and quiet. This wisp of light smoke floated in place. He looked around the Jia Mansion and his family with some nostalgia, and then bowed in the direction of Jin An and the old Taoist priest.
Finally it disappeared.
"good."
Jin An uttered a single word, then continued to close his eyes and chant sutras for salvation.
After performing rituals for a whole night, Jin An felt quite relaxed. Except for the tired eyes of the old Taoist priest, he was still energetic.
According to the old Taoist priest's original words, this was much easier than doing the rituals for seven days in a row. He could only find a chance to take a nap in the middle of the seven-day rituals, and could not sleep peacefully for a whole day.
After staying in the mourning hall all night, Jin An and the old Taoist priest were politely led by servants of the Jia family on the next morning. After washing their faces and feeling refreshed, they sat down at the same table for breakfast with the direct brothers of the Jia family.
Rich families attach great importance to etiquette.
Women cannot sit at the main table to eat.
Only men can use chopsticks, and only women can use chopsticks.
To be honest, Jin An was not used to this. He always felt that eating in a large family was too depressing and dull. No one spoke during the whole process, and there were too many rules and regulations that restricted people's nature.
He still prefers to sit in the busy streets, drinking tofu and eating fried dough sticks, free and easy, talking and laughing with a group of people, which brings out the atmosphere of fireworks in the world.
The old Taoist priest, on the other hand, was thick-skinned, wolfing down lean meat porridge, and very nervous.
After breakfast, the Jia family asked Jin An if the food did not taste good. They saw that Jin An did not eat much. After Jin An was vague, he changed the subject: "It has been several days since Jia Zhidie came ashore. She
The body has not been found until now. For the safety of everyone in the Jia family, I would like to ask some of you to tell us honestly how did Jia Zhidie die?"
"Why can't you let go of your resentment even after your death? Why do you refuse to let go of the Jia family and stay in the Jia family?"
When the Jia brothers heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
The brothers looked at each other and finally made up their minds.
"Taoist Master Jin'an and Taoist Chen are the saviors of our Jia family. Without the help of these two Taoist priests, I am afraid that our parents would still be enduring the suffering of villains. Without Taoist Master Jin'an and Taoist Chen, we would not be where we are today."
To be honest, the Jia family exists, and the father-daughter relationship between my eldest brother and Jia Zhidie is indeed not good."
"On the day Jia Zhidie drowned, I had a big argument with my elder brother. Alas, Jia Zhidie was already pregnant with another man's child before she got married. She had been waiting stupidly and infatuatedly, but she refused to reveal the father of the child.
Who told her to abort the child but she was stubborn and refused to do so. Seeing that her belly was getting bigger day by day, sooner or later she would no longer be able to hide the matter, so the quarrels between the father and daughter became more and more frequent."
"But we brothers know very well that my eldest brother has never lost his affection for Jia Zhidie's father and daughter, and has never stopped blaming and regretting Jia Zhidie's drowning. Perhaps, it is because of this that even though
Mr. Lin refused to carry the body, and my eldest brother was willing to go into the water to carry the body himself. No parent would bear to see his or her children die with eyes open, or even be buried in peace after death."
"We are not trying to excuse our eldest brother by saying this. We just want to explain it clearly to Master Jin An and Master Chen that there is no overnight feud between father and daughter. After my eldest brother brought back his niece Jia Zhidie, the Jia family held a wedding banquet to commemorate the funeral.
That night, another strange thing happened..."
When Jin An and the old Taoist priest walked out of Jia's mansion, the sun was already high and bright.
Today is the third consecutive day of sunny weather.
It was also the third day after the Jia Mansion Rebellion.
"It's not even Chen hour yet, and the sun is already so bright. Why do I feel that God is a little evil? It's getting hotter day by day."
Before the old man even took two steps out of Jia's house, he was already sweating profusely from the scorching sun.
"Little brother, do you think the Jia family said that a servant once saw a white shadow lying outside the window sill in the middle of the night looking for a lost child? Could that be the dead girl Jia Zhidie we are looking for?
"
"Xiao Hanba's biological mother is Jia Zhidie of the Jia family?"
"Jia Zhidie came ashore this time to find her son Xiaohanba? Because the group of antique merchants wanted to move the trouble eastward and dump the conspiracy behind the scenes on the Jia family. Xiaohanba and Zhang had appeared in the Jia family, so Jia Zhidie
Will Die Cai keep pestering the Jia family?"
"What a sinister move to move the disaster eastward. We have been doubting whether there is really a problem with the Jia family. Speaking of which, we have to thank Mr. Jia. If he hadn't carried Jia Zhidie's body ashore, we would still have been
If you doubt the Jia family, you will not be able to gain the trust and support of the Jia family as you do now."
The old Taoist priest became more and more dumbfounded as he talked.
Jin An stood under the shade of a tree, looked up at the high-hanging sun through the shade, and said something inexplicable: "Yes, this God is getting more and more evil."
Dragon fetus!
Uncle Lin, have you noticed it a long time ago?
Because the dragon fetus in Jia Zhidie's belly had been stolen long ago, is that why I can't see the dragon energy all the time?
The old Taoist priest sighed and said: "Hey, so to speak, this girl Jia Zhidie has also been a miserable person for two lives. Before her death, her father and daughter broke up because of the son in her belly, and after her death, her father and daughter were killed because of their unborn son. A miserable life.
Na."
"Those antique dealers are really beasts and inhumane!"
The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An and continued: "Brother, what do you think those antique dealers are trying to do when they cause so many troubles? If Xiao Hanba's mother is the Water Goddess, then Xiao Hanba's father should be considered the Dragon King, right?
You go around in such a big circle just to let your son kill me?"
As the old Taoist priest talked, he couldn't help but curse those antique dealers.
Anyway, from the moment we meet these people, none of them are doing human things. Everything they do is completely devoid of humanity.
We can no longer use human morality to criticize them.
Facing the old Taoist priest's angry curses, Jin An finally looked up at the sky. He thought and said: "Perhaps their plan is to rob the tomb and dig up the mother's body, and then use the belly of the noble to cultivate a small drought demon, and then cultivate the small drought demon into a beast."
, and finally let Huan cut off the river and eat the Dragon King?"
"Or use the noble's belly to cultivate a small Hanba, and train the little Hanba to have the potential of Jian, and finally let the little Hanba cut off the river and eat the Dragon King to become a Jian?"
After listening to this, the old Taoist priest thought about it and said, "Oh, that's not right. From what I heard, the old Taoist priest said they all mean the same thing. The Dragon King must die?"
Jin'an did not answer the old Taoist priest's words, because what he was thinking at this time was that in this unusually hot weather, had Fu Yin begun to use Xiao Hanba's ability to prepare to go to the Yinyi River to quell the Dragon King case?
