Holy Bone

Chapter 1625: The Five Internal Organs Taoist Temple, which is not a deity but better than a deity

When he returned to the capital, Yujing Jinque not only hosted Jin'an for a banquet, but also invited the old Taoist priest, Xuejian, the goat, the old dog, and the Peacock Mother who stayed in the Wuzang Taoist Temple.

After the banquet, the old Taoist priest, Xue Jian and others went back first, while Jin'an and the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord stayed in the Golden Palace of Yujing, because they wanted to stay and choose a Taoist magic power each.

But that happened five days ago, and today is the fifth day since Jinan returned to the capital.

Jin An greeted the rising sun, breathed in the vigorous vitality of heaven and earth, and then found the Seven Star Taoist to bid farewell. He stayed in Yujing Jinque for too long, and there were still a lot of matters waiting for him to go back to the Five Internal Organs Taoist Temple and the Criminal Investigation Department.

At the cordial invitation of the elders of Yujing Jinque, he stayed until noon to have lunch, and then returned to Wuzang Taoist Temple accompanied by Zhenren Qingxi.

On the way back to the Wuzang Taoist Temple, Jin'an thought of the Xiangshan branch of the Tubo Temple and the Beiji Four Saints Tianpeng Zhenjun Temple that he had temporarily built, so he asked the driver to take a detour to Xiangshan.

In fact, there is no need to take a detour. There are only a few mountains in the whole capital, each one more famous and prominent than the other, and you can see them just by looking up.

However, it is still more impressive to watch it from a close distance. After all, Xiangshan can be regarded as the largest Taoist temple opened by Wuzang Taoism, so it naturally has a different meaning.

Almost a month had passed since he left the capital and revisited Xiangshan. Thanks to the human, material and financial resources of the Ministry of Works, as well as his authority as an imperial envoy, the two additional temples had already been completed and only an auspicious day was needed to open them.

"Master Jin'an has come specially to see the Xiangshan Taoist Temple. Are you going to build a new temple?" Taoist Qingxi looked through the curtain window and saw that the temple had been completed. Under the direct sunlight, it had carved beams and painted buildings, glazed tiles and golden tiles, and it still looked majestic and magnificent.

Hahaha.

Jin An smiled awkwardly and touched his nose guiltily.

True Person Qingxi smiled faintly without saying anything. It was a rare sight to see this cold fairy smile.

At this time, the Thousand-Eyed Taoist God statue also flew out from the sleeves of Jin'an's Taoist robe and floated to the carriage window: "Martial Dao Immortal, are you going to open this temple? When will it open?"

"I can't wait to move into Xiangshan, climb up high and look far, and see all the mountains in the world. Hundreds of thousands of people in the capital will look up to me every day. Even the civil and military officials in the capital will look up to me every day. It will be so cool!"

For others, opening a branch temple is a happy and festive thing, which means spreading and prospering. But for the Thousand-Eyed Taoist statue, what it thinks of is the pride of being admired by others. After all, it has just turned from darkness to light not long ago, and some of its past evil habits cannot be changed so quickly.

Jin An tapped the head of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist statue and feigned anger, scolding: "Letting you stand high and see far is to allow you to better use your clairvoyance to inspect the ghosts and monsters in the world, and to better serve as a folk god who seeks children, so as to help you accumulate merits and cleanse your karma and sins."

Although the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue did not resist openly, it was muttering in dissatisfaction: "You lost face in front of Fairy Qingxi, and you feel guilty. What's the point of scolding me to regain my face? I am not Fairy Qingxi."

have to.

The Thousand-Eyed Taoist deity offended two people with one sentence. Ouch, ouch, he let out two painful groans.

True Man Qingxi asked Jinan: "Are you planning to add the Four Holy Temples of the North Pole?"

Jin An lowered the carriage curtain and nodded, "That's right, Master Qingxi is really smart and kind-hearted, and she hit the nail on the head with her words."

True Man Qingxi glanced at Jin An who was sitting opposite him and said, "You are such a smooth talker."

Jin An turned to look at the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue, frowning slightly: "What's wrong with you?"

The Thousand-Eyed Taoist deity stretched out its hands as if to cover its eyes, but it had a thousand eyeballs on its body and only had two hands. It could not cover its eyes anywhere, up, down, left, right, front, chest, or back, looking a bit flustered and funny.

Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue: "It seems that this Taoist is about to get stye."

Ouch, ouch! Just as he finished speaking, two consecutive groans of pain were heard from the carriage again from the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue.

The big blue ox followed the carriage slowly, with the sweet smell in its mouth, and kept chewing the herbs it had stolen from the Golden Palace of Yujing. Listening to the screams of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue coming from the carriage from time to time, he flapped his ears to drive away the buzzing mosquitoes and flies, pretending that he saw and heard nothing, and kept himself out of trouble.

This time, Jin'an was invited to be a guest at the Jinque Palace of Jade Capital, and Da Qingniu also experienced firsthand what it meant to "one person's success brings prosperity to the whole family". Even he was fortunate enough to enter the Jinque Palace of Jade Capital and get free food and drinks for several days.

Yujing Jinque is a place for Taoist meditation, so it is inevitable that there are flower gardens, bamboo forests and medicinal gardens. Some of the tender grass has been destroyed by him in the past few days.

After being away for almost a month, when I returned to the Wuzang Taoist Temple on Incense Avenue, the incense and popularity were even higher than before.

Jin An is now an imperial envoy. He has solved several major cases in a row. Even people from the Imperial Hospital and the Queen were arrested at any time. He is a master in solving cases and an honest and upright official. He is both civil and military. His prestige among the people has risen to a new level and he is deeply supported by the people.

In addition to the scene of killing the headless monk at the gate of the capital that day, many people who entered and left the capital saw it. The martial arts methods and domineering momentum displayed by Jin'an also impressed many people. In the eyes of the people, he was like a god in heaven. The Wuzang Taoist Temple was a place where real dragons and crouching tigers were hidden.

Plus Jinan’s reputation.

With so many factors at play, it is not surprising that the popularity of the Wuzang Taoist Temple is growing day by day.

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Jin An dared not enter the Wuzang Taoist Temple through the main gate, for fear that he would be overwhelmed by the pilgrims.

Finally, the few of them returned from the sky to the backyard of the Wuzang Taoist Temple.

The Wuzang Taoist Temple was still as peaceful as before he left. Xiao Jian was cleaning the sheep shed, and the silly sheep seemed to have gained weight. The Peacock Mother was still standing gracefully on the roof like a fairy from Guanghan who had descended to the mortal world, attracting a group of literati and poets in the capital to worship her. The old dog, who looked like a human, followed the silly sheep and ate a carrot from time to time with a greedy look on his face.

There was a sign on the door of the old Taoist priest's room, which read "Dogs and people are not allowed to enter". Jin An looked at the sign a few more times in surprise.

"Master."

Xuejian, who was shoveling sheep dung, put down the dung fork and walked over. Although his face had a dull expression, the joy in his voice could still be heard.

Avenue induction!

Yin De plus one!

Jin An was touched and handed the food box to Ke Jian: "Ke Jian, this is the thousand-layer osmanthus cake that I brought from Yujing Jinque specially for you and the old Taoist priest."

"There is a thousand-year-old osmanthus tree in the Golden Palace of Jade Capital. The taste of this osmanthus cake is different from other osmanthus cakes out there. It is sweet and refreshing, not greasy, and the mouth is full of the fragrance of osmanthus honey. Every bite makes your mouth water. I brought it specially for you to taste together."

"Thank you, Master."

The Great Dao is in response! Your hidden virtue is increased by one!

"Thank you, little master..." Xue Jian looked at Jin'an and Qingxi Zhenren who accompanied Jin'an back to Wuzang Taoist Temple with emotion. However, before he could finish his words, Jin'an, who reacted faster, covered his mouth with his hand.

Jinan opened the food box, took out a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Xuejian's mouth to prevent the usually dull and boring Xuejian from saying anything shocking again.

True Man Qingxi looked calm as he looked up at the Peacock Mother who had flown onto the roof.

At this time, the greedy Shayang and the old dog also crowded over, opened their mouths and asked Jinan to feed them Thousand Layer Osmanthus Cake.

After eating the osmanthus cake, the sheep and the dog turned their attention to the big blue ox.

"Big, senior brother." The big blue ox's body stiffened and he shouted nervously to the goat, wasting his strong physique.

At this time, the Thousand-Eyed Taoist God statue was fanning the flames, watching the fun and saying, "The Peacock Buddha is your fifth senior sister, and the dog raised by the martial arts immortal is your seventh senior brother."

"Old Eight, if you want to get along well in Wuzang Taoist Temple in the future, remember to get along well with your senior brothers and sisters."

The last sentence clearly contained a tone of gloating.

Even the Peacock Goddess standing on the rooftop looked down because of the noise.

Da Qingniu originally wanted to be hesitant and reluctant to speak, but in the end, under the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, he still gritted his teeth and called them "Fifth Senior Sister" and "Seventh Senior Brother".

The old dog was so happy to hear that that his mouth almost stretched to his ears. He spat half of the osmanthus cake he was chewing on the ground, then raised his front paw and pointed, indicating that it was a treat for the big blue ox.

At this moment, even True Person Qingxi couldn't suppress the smile. Looking at the lively and harmonious atmosphere of the Wuzang Taoist Temple, even the eyes of this cold fairy showed a hint of smile.

The Wuzang Taoist Temple is very busy with worshippers. The old Taoist priest has been interpreting divinations and drawing talismans for the pilgrims in the Sanqing Hall. Jin An feels sorry for the old Taoist priest and takes the initiative to go to the front hall to help. Naturally, the old Taoist priest can be seen feeling happy and excited during this period.

They were busy until dark when the Taoist temple closed for rest, and then the backyard became lively again. Even Fatty Li came in a hurry to welcome Jin'an and went to the Wuzang Taoist Temple as soon as he got off work.

"Little brother, I heard that you learned the complete inheritance of the Great Emperor Zhenwu from the secret cave in the Jade Capital Golden Palace. One day in the secret cave is equivalent to five days in the human world. Your three days of cultivation in the secret cave is equivalent to half a month in the human world. Damn, little brother, you are so awesome."

"I heard that the Thousand-Eyed Taoist who ate a bellyful of fourth-level eyeballs was fortunate enough to enter the secret cave heaven of Yujing Jinque to practice, and is now also a powerful person in the fourth level."

The old Taoist priest was holding a roasted chicken leg in his left hand and a roasted goose leg in his right hand, his mouth full of grease. He was eating from both sides, but he couldn't stop the envious tone in his mouth.

At this time, a large round table was set up in the backyard of the Wuzang Taoist Temple. On the table were both delicious fish, meat and main dishes that Fatty Li had brought from the restaurant at great expense, as well as home-cooked meals prepared by the old Taoist himself.

The only thing missing is mutton, which is the favorite food of Beijing people.

The night breeze was blowing, the shadows of the trees were rustling, the light and shadows of the lanterns were swaying, and in the quiet night, the stalls of the Wuzang Taoist Temple were getting bigger and bigger, and people and animals were together to welcome Jinan. For a while, the voices of people, dogs barking, cows drinking, laughter and scolding were one after another. In the playfulness, there was the tranquility and peace of the downtown, the tranquility in the downtown, and the noise in the quiet of the night. People, immortals and demons lived together in harmony, and those who were not immortals were more carefree and happy than immortals.

True Person Qingxi has already gone back. During the day, she stayed at the Wuzang Taoist Temple for a while and then went back to Yujing Jinque.

Upon hearing the old Taoist's words, Jin An turned his head and glanced at the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist who was sitting at the same table: "I just returned to the Wuzang Taoist Temple, and the old Taoist already knows everything about us in Yujing Jinque. Thousand-Eyed Taoist, your mouth is faster than my swordplay."

The Thousand-Eyed Taoist statue, which had been burying its head in the smoke of incense and absorbing the air, looked up in a daze, pretending to be stupid.

The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue is not made of flesh and blood, but of mud and stone. The delicacies of the human world are like chewing wax to it. But the candlestick incense that is like chewing wax to humans is a delicious delicacy to it.

The big blue bull, who was eating Western grapes and cantaloupes like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, said, "That secret cave is not only a holy place for cultivation in Yujing Jinque, but also a place for storing scriptures in Yujing Jinque. There are countless scriptures in it, and the Taoist magic is all-encompassing. The martial arts immortal was able to find the inheritance of the Great Emperor Zhenwu among so many scriptures in the secret cave, thanks to Master Qingxi."

"It's a pity that the fragment of the divine decree of the Great Emperor Zhenwu is in the possession of the Seven-Star Taoist, and is not placed together with the inheritance. Otherwise, the martial arts immortal would have the best of both worlds."

When the people and animals at the table heard this, they all looked regretful.

Jin An glared at the big blue ox and said, "Do you really think we are going to Yujing Jinque to move house? You want to take advantage of everything."

"Yujing Jinque has made an exception by opening the secret realm to people outside the sect. You are just too greedy. Even a table of food can't satisfy your mouths."

The people and animals at the table all clicked their tongues at Jin An.

Jin An rolled his eyes. He pointed at the wooden sign on the old Taoist's door, changed the subject, and asked the old Taoist what the words "Dogs and people are not allowed to enter" written on the wooden sign meant.

The old Taoist priest, with his cheeks bulging with stuff, just choked and pounded his chest and drank. He was so busy that he couldn't speak. It was Fatty Li who explained the reason: "Master Jin'an, your dog has learned to steal wine recently. He often sneaks into Master Chen's room to look for Sanyang wine to drink."

"The Sanyang wine is reserved by Taoist Master Chen for pilgrims to use. Occasionally, pilgrims encounter evil spirits or come into contact with unclean things, and they rely on the Sanyang wine to drive away the evil spirits and warm their bodies. If they are all stolen and drunk, the pilgrims will have no Sanyang wine to use."

"So Taoist Master Chen put up a sign on the door saying, 'Dogs are not allowed.'"

Jin An was puzzled: "What's going on with that man-dog?"

Speaking of dogs, even Fatty Li helplessly spread his hands: "Because it then learned to walk upright like a dog, and tried to sneak into Taoist Master Chen's room to drink wine. Taoist Master Chen only said that dogs were not allowed in, but not that people were not allowed in."

"He was originally just imitating how people dress, and he looked like a dog. Now he was imitating how people walk with a dog's head on his head. That day, he was almost exorcised by Taoist Master Chen who came back to his room."

"So there's the wooden sign that says 'Dogs and people are not allowed.'

After hearing the whole story, Jin An was also amused. He glared at the old dog with a helpless look, as if to say that none of the chickens, sheep, cows and dogs on the table could give him peace of mind.

The old dog knew he was guilty, so he buried his head in the pig's leg bone.

The old Taoist priest had recovered his breath by now. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He caught the old dog and started scolding him again. For a while, the table was filled with laughter, scolding, and the sound of clinking glasses. It was very lively.

The meal lasted a long time, until the late night, and was gradually coming to an end. By this time, everyone was already full of food and wine. Jin An's expression changed, and he looked at Xue Jian seriously, mentioning Xue Jian's identity and his discovery in the paradise.
