The door of a Taoist temple is not a place for talking.
After Jin An delivered vegetarian steamed buns for breakfast to Uncle Lin at the coffin shop opposite, he and Fatty Li walked to the private backyard of the Taoist temple, talking.
Once you come to the private backyard of the Taoist temple, the most eye-catching thing is the black coffin.
“Morning, Senior Brother.”
Thick-skinned people are invincible. Fatty Li greeted the goat who was chewing Yanzhou Prefecture carrots, also known as "little ginseng".
Others are flattering.
He is a slap in the face.
After taking the photo, I didn’t forget to take a carrot and rub it on my clothes, then ate it with relish.
咩
The silly sheep spirit looked sideways at Fatty Li, and also said hello to Fatty Li.
“Old Taoist, sharpen your sword, come on, come on, I bought some vegetable steamed buns, come and eat them while they’re hot.”
Jin'an called for the old Taoist priest and his sharp sword.
"But I'm starving to death, little brother. You respect the old, love the young, and treat me well. Ever since I followed you, little brother, I feel like I've been fattened up by you. Little brother, if you hire someone to help me again,
If I clean the Taoist temple together, then this life will be even more perfect."
The old Taoist priest was holding four or five steaming steamed vegetable buns in his hands and half a hot bun in his mouth, but even this could not stop his mouth.
“Thank you, Master.”
He sharpened his sword dully, took only two vegetable steamed buns, and sat down to eat alone and silently.
Yin Deyi.
Jin An smiled cheerfully.
“You eat more when you sharpen your sword. You take the initiative to help the Taoist temple keep vigil every day. Staying up late at night is the most energy-consuming. How can you eat two vegetarian steamed buns?”
Jin An grabbed two buns and stuffed them into his sword-cutting hand.
"Um."
“Thank you, Master.”
Yin Deyi.
The smile on Jin An’s face became even more blooming like a chrysanthemum.
Fatty Li on the side looked at the harmonious atmosphere of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, where there were three people and one sheep. He was so envious that he pitifully asked Jin An when he could join the Wu Zang Taoist Temple and become Jin An's fourth disciple.
While talking, Fatty Li shamelessly stole a vegetable steamed bun from the bamboo basket to eat. Jin Ping An pretended not to see Fatty Li eating it.
"Fat Li finished eating what he had in his hands and came over to help me put away the rain cover. Taking advantage of the sunny weather, we can let Zhao Pingfa's body in the coffin be exposed to the sun for a while to dry the moisture in the coffin so that the body of Zhao Pingfa will not be exposed to the sun.
I'm so angry that I can't sleep well even if I'm in the ground."
Next, Jin An and Fatty Li cooperated with each other to remove the rain cloth.
While removing the raincloth, Fatty Li told Jin An in detail what happened last night. Jin An did not interrupt during the process. He also learned more details about the stone cow that fell into the Yinyi River.
"Taoist Priest Jin'an, I remember that when we escaped from the Dragon King's tomb, the Water Goddess gave you a few fragments of Luogeng's jade plate, right?"
Fatty Li and Jin An neatly folded the raincloth in the open space while explaining: "Don't worry, Taoist Master Jin An, you have defeated the Dragon King, which is a great achievement. Neither the governor nor our Criminal Investigation Department will want it."
Return these pieces of Luo Geng's jade plate, you deserve them."
"The reason why I mentioned this is just to say that Taoist Jin'an should have already understood what the Luo Geng Jade Plate means. If Taoist Jin'an also wants to enter the Taoist Cave and Paradise to find immortality, then you should make plans for this early.
.”
"I also got news that this time the passage is opened and the era of great war is coming, some people in the northern capital are also eyeing the Wuzhou Prefecture in the southwest. There is a high possibility that there will be a Jade Capital Golden Tower, Zhenguo
The masters from the temple and Tianshi Mansion are also here to fight for the birth of this immortal."
"Taoist Master Jin'an, this time the passage is opened, do you plan to enter the Cave Heaven Paradise by yourself, or do all the Taoist temples and five internal organs enter the Cave Heaven Paradise?" Jin An asked Fatty Li, who was wide and fat, to sit on the folded rain cover and compact the rain cloth.
, Fatty Li asked Jin An curiously after sitting on the raincloth.
Jin An did not answer Fatty Li’s question, but asked in detail whether there was a master in the Tianshi Mansion who dressed up as an old beggar.
Fatty Li shook his head in confusion.
Not to mention anything else, there are many masters in the Tianshi Mansion alone. It is impossible for everyone to know him, and the more masters are, the more often the dragon appears, either in seclusion or practicing in the capital.
High-ranking officials and nobles are looking for Feng Shui Yin Mansion. It is estimated that the Tianshi Mansion itself cannot recognize all the masters.
Especially for him, a junior official in the Criminal Investigation Department.
“Why did Taoist Priest Jin An suddenly ask about Tianshi Mansion?” Fatty Li looked up at Jin An curiously.
Jin An did not hide anything from Fatty Li. He briefly talked about how he annihilated a group of antique dealers last night. Of course, some in-depth details were just brushed aside, such as the fact that he claimed his surname was Li...
“That group of antique dealers has been wiped out and they were all captured. In the end, only two people escaped. When you see the captain, tell me and ask him to focus on hunting these two people. These are the portraits of the two fish that slipped through the net.”
“Actually, if you don’t come to me today, Fatty Li, I’m going to go find you and give you these two wanted portraits.”
Jin An entered the room and drew two portraits, then handed them over to Fatty Li.
But looking at Fatty Li looking at Jin An with a look of fascination and envy, it was obvious that he didn't listen to Jin An's words: "I didn't expect that so many things happened last night. A living person can enter the yin and yang world in the tomb."
, One Painting and Five Reveals, Yuanyanglou Inn, as well as Corpse Exorcism, Breathing, and Hundred Face Scholars. So many evil monks and evil ways gathered together. Just listening to Taoist Jin'an's narration made my blood boil, and my mood was high and exciting. It was better than Wutou Village.
The experience at the Dragon King’s Tomb was thrilling.”
“I didn’t expect that in one night, I missed so many things that could cause evil spirits!”
Fatty Li beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Sad and heartbroken.
"I really wish I could transform into a Taoist master like Taoist Jin'an, slay demons and demons, and support the righteous way in the world. In the end, I just walked away and was deeply respected by the people. Praise me, Taoist Li, and thank Taoist Li for his life-saving work."
Well, I will never forget it, and I would like to show my body...ahem."
Fatty Li coughed dryly and stopped talking, then with a look of envy and longing on his face, he urged Jin An to tell him in detail what happened last night.
But Jin An ignored him.
Talkling is a waste of energy and saliva.
Very tiring.
But Fatty Li refused to give up easily. He followed Jin An with a pleading look on his face, begging Jin An to tell him more about the evil monks and evil ways, especially the most thrilling part when Jin An takes action to subjugate demons.
He hasn't had enough yet.
While Fatty Li was still following Jin An perseveringly, at this time, there was a noise of people outside the Taoist temple. The old Taoist priest was curious and asked what was going on outside and why so many people were talking?
Jin An was also curious and walked to the front of the Taoist temple.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, someone is looking for you. They are in Sanqing Hall."
“They said they must see you, Taoist Jin An, today and thank you in person for saving your life.”
There was a craftsman sitting on a bamboo frame painting the exterior wall of the main hall and shouted to Jin An and his group who were approaching.
When we arrived at the Sanqing Hall, it was very lively. There was a row of guards standing outside the hall. Green smoke was curling up inside the Sanqing Hall. A mother and daughter were offering incense and bowing devoutly in the Sanqing Hall.
After offering incense to the statues of the Sanqing gods, I also offered incense to the founder of the Five Zang Taoist Temple. Looking at his pious appearance, the Five Zang Taoist Temple is about to add a pair of good female believers.
After the mother and daughter had finished offering incense to the statues in the temple, they still wanted to draw lots and tell fortunes. Because the Taoist temple had not yet been repaired and many places were not perfect, the mother and daughter had to turn around and leave.
When they turned around, they saw Jin An and his party standing outside the hall.
These mother and daughter are Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu who were rescued by Jin An last night.
“Blessed and blessed with immeasurable deity.”
Jin An greeted Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu smiled and saluted. As early as when he saw so many familiar-looking guards standing outside the main hall, Jin An had already guessed who the two devout mother and daughter were in the main hall.
In Taoism, when saluting others, one usually chants "Blessings and Lives to the Infinite Heavenly Lord".
If you encounter a good believer who encounters misfortune, you will sing "Supreme Taiyi, the Heavenly Lord who saves the suffering", or "The Supreme Taiyi, the Heavenly Lord who saves the suffering".
Taoist disciples use different words to greet people depending on the occasion.
“Excuse me, among the Taoist priests, which one is Taoist priest Jin’an?”
“We, mother and daughter, came here specifically to thank Taoist Jin An for his life-saving grace last night.”
Mrs. Yu looked at the old Taoist priest in Taoist robes, then at Jin An in Taoist robes, and finally, being well-informed, her eyes fell on the younger Jin An.
"Mrs. Yu, Miss Yu, I haven't seen you for one night. I didn't expect to see you two again so soon." Jin An said with a smile.
Facing Jin An's words, Mrs. Yu's face was filled with joy: "Before coming here, the women had already known that you look young, Taoist Jin An, but they didn't expect that Taoist Jin An was even younger than the women thought."
"My father often told me, 'If the water is not deep, there will be dragons. If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals.' The Wu Zang Taoist Temple is exactly what my father said. It is a place with outstanding people, so it is possible to have extraordinary talents like several Taoist priests."
A true immortal."
Mrs. Yu spoke elegantly and decently. She sincerely praised Jin An for his extraordinary ability, and also praised Wu Zang Taoist Temple and the other people at Wu Zang Taoist Temple.
Sure enough, he is from a big family.
In terms of knowledge and conversation, it is all-round and exquisite, making people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
For example, the old Taoist priest on the side smiled happily when he heard this, and even Fatty Li couldn't help but puff up his chest with a proud expression.
There is only the wood that is used to sharpen the sword and is not surprised by the insults, and it looks dull.
"You are the one who recited a poem to Ye Niang, the man-eating ghost bride, and said: 'The sky is covered with frost on the ten-mile plain lake, and every inch of green hair is filled with sorrow. Looking at the moon to protect each other, I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals.' Mr. Li? Daochang Li? Or maybe you say
Should I call you Taoist Master Jin'an?"
Miss Yu, who was tall and tall, looked up and down at Jin An curiously and playfully.
Miss Yu boldly looked directly at Jin An with her cheeks slightly red.
Her personality is playful and lively, with the youthful vigor of a girl. She is full of energy and can say whatever she wants.
"I didn't expect that you, Taoist Master Jin'an, are so young and only a few years older than me. You are already so capable, and you are so handsome and handsome. You are even more beautiful than I thought. Li...Jin'an has been practicing Taoism for several years, and it took you a long time to develop your body."
Such a great ability? Can I follow you to practice Taoism at Wu Zang Taoist Temple? I also want to travel around the world, perform chivalry and justice, and slay demons like you, Taoist Master Jin'an!"
Mr. Li?
Li Daochang?
Fatty Li: “?”
“!”
Jin An shamelessly turned his back to Fatty Li, pretending not to notice Fatty Li's gaze.
"Zhen'er, please don't be too little. Taoist priest Jin'an is our savior. How can we talk to our benefactor?" Mrs. Yu said with a stern look on her face.
Jin An smiled and waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, Miss Yu is full of energy and has a straightforward personality. We are of the same age. I really like talking with Miss Yu's frank and frank personality."
"Thank you, Miss Yu, for your praise of this temple. However, this temple has no plans to accept female disciples for the time being. It may disappoint Miss Yu. Moreover, to become a monk, you need to cut off worldly obsessions. Few parents in the world give in.
My own children have to endure this hardship, so Miss Yu should honor her parents and spend more time with them, which is actually a kind of experience in the ups and downs of the world."
After hearing what Jin An said, Mrs. Yu cast a grateful look towards Jin An.
She was really worried that her precious daughter, who had not experienced much hardship, would become a Taoist nun on impulse and she would not be able to deal with her family and the master.
…
Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu spent a day in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, offering incense to the San Qing Hall, Liu Ding Liu Jia Martial God Hall, Wu Lei Emperor Hall, and Gong De Hall. After paying homage devoutly for a day and praying for three evil talismans, in the afternoon
Around dinnertime, the female family members from a wealthy family got into the carriage and left.
Before leaving, Mrs. Yu left a few hundred taels of silver notes as incense money.
From now on.
Wuzang Taoist Temple has gained another pair of mother and daughter believers.
It was already getting late. Fatty Li, who had eaten three meals at the Wu Zang Taoist Temple today, took the two portraits given by Jin An and left the Wu Zang Taoist Temple with some reluctance.
He had to go back as soon as possible to hand over the portrait of the wanted criminal to the captain to arrest the fugitive and prevent him from escaping from Wuzhou Prefecture. It would be difficult to arrest him in the future.
As Mrs. Yu and others, Fatty Li left one after another, the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, which had been busy all day, slowly fell into silence.
Evening meal.
The old Taoist priest returned to the backyard of the Taoist temple to distribute Zhao Ping's body and continue to practice salvation.
Chicken also went to the sheep shed to find his senior brother and brush his wool.
In the Taoist temple, Jin An came to Sanqing Hall alone.
At this time, there was still smoke from the incense in the Sanqing Hall, but only Jin An was left in the Sanqing Hall at this time.
The renovated Sanqing Hall is bright and bright from all sides. Even during the evening eclipse, when the sun is about to set, the Sanqing Hall is still very bright, making people feel bright and free from dust.
After Jin An entered the Sanqing Hall, he bowed to the Sanqing statue opposite the main entrance. He glanced at the bronze incense burner enshrined in front of the Sanqing statue.
The eyes are a little eager to try.
But in the end, he stopped his inner impulse, turned to the side of the Five Zang Taoist Temple, and stared at the incense burner in front of the statue of the Patriarch.
“The ancestor has a spirit in heaven, and my disciple Jin An has borrowed some incense burner ashes today just to kill demons and eliminate demons, to support the righteous way in the world, and to promote my Taoist temple of the five internal organs.”
