Holy Bone

Chapter 172 Returning to Fucheng
As soon as Jin An and the others returned to Fucheng, they went to Xue's Mansion first.

One is to settle the case of Xue Xiong's disappearance and make an explanation to his employer.

Second, come to bring Xue Xiong's ashes and belongings.

At this time, Li Huwei had already changed his appearance to Commander Xu. Under his leadership, the group successfully met the Xue family master and old lady.

Half a month gone.

The two elders were both thin and haggard. There was such a major event in the family, and the old man fell ill all at once. They met with a few people on crutches.

When they got the bad news, especially after seeing Xue Xiong's belongings, the master and old lady of the Xue family believed that their son had been killed, and they were distraught immediately.

The old lady couldn't bear the blow, and passed out from crying sadly.

Facing the pain of losing their son, Jin'an and the old Taoist could do nothing but enlighten the two elders to mourn and change.

When the case of Xue's mansion was over and Jin An and the old Taoist left Xue's mansion, it was already after sunset.

The setting sun in the sky dyed most of the prefectural city red.

Originally, Jin An planned to go to He Mansion first to bring back Sha Yang, but seeing that it was getting late and the curfew was about to come, he decided to wait until tomorrow to bring back Sha Yang.

As for Guard Li.

Instead, he did not go back to the Taoist temple with Jin An and the others, but continued to stay in Xue's residence as his Commander Xu.

……

Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

More than half a month later, when Jin An and the old Taoist returned to the Taoist temple, the expansion of the Taoist temple was more than half completed, and the main structures of several halls had been built.

At this time, just in time for work, there are dusty masons, carpenters, stonemasons, handymen, etc. coming out of the temple one after another.When they saw Jin An and the old Taoist who had returned from a long journey, they all saluted respectfully.

The common people are in awe of ghosts and gods, so they are even polite to Taoists and monks.

The expansion of the Taoist temple and the purchase of materials are all in the charge of He Fu's stewards, especially when Jin'an and the others went to Wutou Village this time, the security and night watch in the Taoist temple are all taken care of by the He Fu people.When he heard the commotion outside, the steward of the He Mansion brought a few people out to have a look, and seeing that it was indeed Jin An and the old Taoist priest who had returned, they greeted them with joy.

"Daoist Jin'an."

"Chen Daochang."

"Daoist Jin'an, you are back, did the things you have to do this time go well?"

Now everyone in the He family knows that Jin An and the old Taoist are the lifesavers of the whole He family.Especially the eldest lady and the third lady, they all looked at Mr. Jin'an differently and cared about him very much.

So they are servants, and they are more respectful when facing Jin'an.

Jin An knows that it is not easy for everyone in every industry to stand in the world. When Jin An faced these servants of He Fu, he did not feel superior and inflated, and despised others. On the contrary, he was polite and told everyone one by one. Greeted and treated equally.

"Thank you, benefactors, for your concern. Everything is going well."

"You don't need to be so cautious. We have been traveling for so many days, and we would like to thank you for everything you have done for Guanli. These are some local products that we bought on the road. As a gift, we thank all the benefactors. Don't Resignation, everyone has a share."

The old Taoist likes to be lively, and has already offered to help distribute the souvenirs bought on the road with a smile on his face.

Jin'an and the old Taoist's approachable way of dealing with the world made the servants of the He family feel that they were respected. Everyone was sincere and fearful, and they all admired and respected Jin'an and the old Taoist from the bottom of their hearts.

After distributing the souvenirs, Jin An told everyone to go back and have a good rest. Now that they had come back, he, the old Taoist priest, and the sword-cutting sword would continue to guard the Taoist temple.

Next, Jin An and the old Taoist entered the Taoist temple, first placed the urns of Yu Youzi, Shen's mother and son, and then washed them well to wash away the dust along the way.

When all this was done, it was completely dark.

Jin'an and the old Taoist took the roast chicken, roast goose, haggis, peanuts and other appetizers packed in lotus leaves that they brought back on the road, and three altars of famous deer blood wine from Jixian Tower in Fucheng to the opposite of the Taoist temple. The coffin shop asked Uncle Lin to report his safety.

Of course, I also took the opportunity to ask Uncle Lin about the recent incident of the Yinyi River being cut off again.

As well as the big event that the government government recruited various Taoist temples, temples under the Yinyi River, and thousands of caves to exorcise demons.

Originally, Jin An wanted to buy pork heads, pig ears, and pig tails for dinner.

As a result, the old Taoist's complexion changed drastically, and he almost spit it out in the street.

The old Taoist was almost stared at by the pork shop owner.

Just came back from Headless Village.

The old Taoist cried and said that he would not be able to look directly at the pig's head for a few years.

It's good that the old Taoist didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Jin An couldn't help but think of the pig's head that Song Fangping and Song Fangping's wife ate, and Jin'an couldn't look directly at the pig's head and pig's ears anymore.

Because I had already greeted Uncle Lin beforehand, when Jin An and the old Taoist came to look for Uncle Lin with fine wine and appetizers, the coffin shop was still open today.

And after the night curfew, as long as this kind of door-to-door running between neighbors is not too excessive, such as gathering a crowd to make trouble, or walking out of this street, the night patrol Xiangyong will turn a blind eye and close his eyes when encountering it, and will not be too strict.

Because he knew that Jin An and the old Taoist priest would come to drink in the evening, Uncle Lin had already set up a table for the Eight Immortals in the store in advance. The three of them had just arranged the wine and dishes lively, and on the other side, a sword-sharpening figure came out of the Taoist temple without a sound.

Cut the sword, the master thief.

Walking footsteps are silent.

With the strength of Jin'an's current first-class master, he didn't even notice when the sword was lurking outside the city and returned to the Taoist temple.

When I thought of the scene when I picked up the sword.

The origin of the sword is becoming more and more mysterious.

"Master."

"Third Junior Brother."

"Mr. Lin."

Silently, he sharpened his sword in a daze, stepped into the coffin shop silently, greeted him politely, and then sat silently at the table without moving.

Sharpen the sword and start daily salted fish again.

Avenue induction!

Yinde one!

Jin Anle cheered: "Good apprentice, come here, eat more peanuts."

Jin An picks up vegetables for Chijian, worried that Chijian will be hungry.

"Thank you Master."

Dao induction again!

Yinde one!

Jin An laughed out loud, and the old Taoist envied him like an old child, yelling that he also wanted peanuts and deer blood wine.

Just like a 50-year-old kid.

In order to keep his ears quiet, Jin An also gave the old Taoist priest some peanuts instead of just drinking.

Then he also took the initiative to pour a glass of deer blood wine for Uncle Lin.

The deer blood wine from Jixian Building has been famous for a long time. His complexion was sallow. Looking at the somewhat sick Uncle Lin, he smelled the scent and recognized the wine immediately, and said in surprise, "Is this the deer blood wine from Jixian Building?"

Jin An gave a thumbs up, and Uncle Kua Lin really has a good nose.

Uncle Lin asked Jin An, isn't this wine cheap?

He passed by Jixian Tower several times, but he only smelled the fragrance of the wine and never tasted it.

Uncle Lin looked at Jin'an suspiciously, and asked him why he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy Jixianlou's stag blood wine today, and if he bought it for three jars of wine?

Did you cause trouble outside and ask for something today?
Jin An hurriedly explained that I am the kind of person who provokes disputes everywhere, Uncle Lin, I am wronged, he mainly thinks that the rainy season has just passed, and the weather has begun to become hot and humid, and older people are prone to humidity and joint pain in hands and feet , poor resistance, listlessness.That's why I bought deer blood wine for strengthening yang, specially for you, Uncle Lin, to invigorate qi and strengthen yang, nourish your kidneys, make your body strong and live a long life.

At this time, the old Taoist took advantage of Jin An and Uncle Lin's chatting time, and secretly drank several cups of deer blood wine.

When this person is old, he tends to have poor spirits, not to mention that he has just returned from a half-month exhaustion and is exhausted.

After drinking a few cups of deer blood wine, the old Taoist suddenly felt warm all over his body, his limbs seemed to be burning with matches, and his spirit turned into a small fire.

"Mr. Lin, you also come to drink this deer blood wine. The deer blood wine in Jixianlou really lives up to its reputation."

The old Taoist said to the coffin shop owner with a sallow complexion, weak and sickly, like kidney and liver failure, pushing a cup and changing a cup.

Uncle Lin took a sip of deer blood wine, his mouth was long and fragrant, it didn't have the medicinal smell of sealwort and poria cocos at all, and it didn't have the pungentness of Chinese medicinal materials, he closed his eyes aftertaste for a long time, and then his throat slipped, and he couldn't help it Congrats on the good wine.

Jin An looked at Uncle Lin with a sallow complexion, and hurriedly flattered him, saying that if you like drinking, Uncle Lin, there are still two pots of yang-strengthening wine left here, and I will give them to Uncle Lin.

After a few glasses of wine, even the calm Uncle Lin became more talkative. He asked Jin An if his trip was going well, did he find the missing Yuyouzi in Wutou Village?
Talk about Yu Youzi.

Jin An's eyes were lonely.

"I have found my uncle's bones, and I have brought them back to the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera. I plan to carve out a piece of land in the temple to build a merit hall for my uncle and my master."

Jin An also took a sip of Yang-enhancing wine in a lonely state.

Hiss.

So hot.

Jin An hurriedly grabbed a few mouthfuls of vegetables to fill his stomach, and then described the trip to Uncle Lin in detail.

This time they accepted the commission from the Xue Mansion to go to Wushanling and Cang'er Mountains to find the rumored Headless Village. Uncle Lin knew about it in advance.

After hearing all kinds of dangers in Jin'an's business, especially Yu Youzi's uneasy feelings, Uncle Lin's face was full of emotion and sighed.

He and the three brothers from the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera can be regarded as old neighbors, neighbors and friends.

Uncle Lin looked at Jin'an with admiration: "On behalf of the old friends of the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs, I would like to thank Master Jin'an for everything you have done for the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs."

"I believe that when Yuyang returns, he will definitely be grateful for what you have done for the five internal organs Taoist temple and his two senior brothers."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Lin showed relief and looked at Jin'an with appreciation: "Since Taoist Master Jin'an came to the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs, I have personally watched the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs change and develop every day."

"The Taoist temple of the five viscera used to wither, like a dead old man. But today's Taoist temple of the five viscera is full of vitality every day, with incense believers every day, and the popularity is bustling. All these changes are caused by you, Daoist Jin'an. Jin'an Dao Long is a rare wonderful person I have only seen in my life, wonderful beyond words, unpredictable."

The old Taoist who was greedy for drinking became more and more talkative at this time: "Mr. Lin, my little brother is now the new head teacher of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. Before his death, Taoist Brother Yu Youzi personally appointed my little brother as the new head teacher of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. You Don't worry, Taoism of the five internal organs will definitely not be humiliated in the hands of my little brother."

"Mr. Lin, do you know what my little brother looks like?"

Jin An was afraid that the old Taoist would drink too much and would brag about anything, so he let Uncle Lin see the joke, and quickly told the old Taoist to stop.

Uncle Lin looked at Jin An with a look of surprise on his face, and the expression of relief on his face became stronger.

"Sure enough, I have a good eye for people."

"Daoist Jin'an, I would like to offer you a toast, and I wish you in advance the Taoism of the five internal organs and the restoration of the glory of the Taoist temple of the five internal organs."

After taking a sip of Yang-enhancing wine, Jin An immediately ate a few mouthfuls of appetizers to suppress his stomach, and then he went up to the bar and asked Uncle Lin about the recent interruption of the Yinyi River, and the government office plans to recruit Taoist temples and temples to the Yinyi River , Thousand caves to exorcise evil spirits.

After listening to Uncle Lin, there was no abnormal expression on his face, and he replied: "There is indeed such a thing in the recent folk rumors."

"However, the government office has not officially issued an announcement."

"But this matter cannot be without wind and waves. I guess, this matter should be deliberately released by the government office, trying to test the reaction of the people. After all, the location of the Thousand Caves is a bit special, which happens to be at the Dragon King Terrace. The Dragon King Terrace The matter is related to some folk sacrificial customs, and I am afraid that the public will oppose it at that time, and I am worried that the Dragon King will be angered and the river will flood."

"However, judging from the current situation, the current public reactions are all praising Fu Yin Yingming, and the overwhelming majority of people support it. So I guess, if this matter was really released by the government to test the tone, then the government The matter of Ya Guang recruiting various Taoist temples and monasteries should be officially announced in a short time."
