Holy Bone

Chapter 924 Shenzhou changes, ready to go to sea to attack

During the few days when the royal fleet returned to Hong Kong to recuperate, several princes invited Jin An privately to the banquet one by one, but Jin An refused them all.

He didn't want to offend the other princes because of one prince, and make people think that he was suspected of forming a party.

If it was invited by several princes, he might consider going to the banquet.

It's strange to say that even the Seventh Prince has invited Jin'an in private more than once. According to the words of the old Taoist: "The Seventh Prince is either fake and generous, or he has a special hobby for green."

Because the prefecture city was in the midst of a lot of waste and construction, and the princes were busy traveling among the people and constantly brushing up the image of being close to the people and loving the people, Jin An easily prevaricated a few invitations.

On the contrary, Uncle Lin and Master Xuanlei from Yujing Jinque often visit the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera these days to discuss their cultivation experience.

Jin'an couldn't wish for this.

With Jin'an sacrificing his life to save the people in the city, the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera has faintly become the number one Taoist temple in the prefecture.

How many old Taoist priests are familiar with everyone, and even became a pair of close friends with Master Xuan Lei, and the relationship between the two warmed up not to mention how fast.If it weren't for going back to the fleet to guard the princes and princesses at night, Master Xuanlei would have liked to stay overnight in the free and unrestrained Taoist Temple of the five internal organs, eat and sleep with the old Taoist priests, talk at night by candlelight, and confide in his heart until dawn.

In the evening of this day, after sending away the reluctant Master Xuanlei, after retreating in the Taoist temple, Uncle Yuyangzi found Jin'an and talked about one thing.

"Teacher, I want to discuss something with you." Uncle Yuyangzi hesitated to speak and looked at Jin An.

Jin'an: "Master uncle has something to say directly."

Uncle Yuyangzi hesitated for a while, as if he was organizing his words in his mind, and was about to speak, before he said after a while: "Teacher, these days I feel that the Taoist temple is gradually not enough manpower, I wonder if the teacher has any plans to recruit more disciples? "

Jin An slapped his forehead, and suddenly said, "Tianguang has been dealing with several princes these days, but he has neglected his own important affairs."

Jin An said happily: "Our Five Viscera Taoist Temple is indeed going to recruit new disciples. Uncle Master mentioned this today, but there are already candidates?"

Seeing that Jin An did not object to this matter, Uncle Yuyangzi hit the iron while the iron was hot and said: "This time Yuxian flooded Jiangzhou Prefecture, many families were destroyed and some poor children were left homeless. Teacher, I want to take in For these orphans, giving them a place that can shelter them from the wind and rain can be regarded as a small effort."

Jin An laughed loudly: "Good."

Taking care of the silly sheep in the sheep house, Ye Fei and Ziyue, who were eavesdropping, ran out excitedly: "That's great, we have a younger brother and younger sister."

The Taoists, old and young, laughed happily.

Now that Uncle Yuyangzi had already selected candidates, the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs went to Fucheng the next day to record the matter of recruiting more disciples, and then announced the recruitment of new disciples on the same day.

Hearing that the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs wanted to recruit disciples, Yonglefang was overwhelmed by enthusiastic people, but when they heard that the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs only recruited orphans with good natures, the crowd was disappointed at first, and then admired in awe.

The auspicious day for opening the door to recruit new disciples is set on the sixth day of the eighth month.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the grand event on the sixth day of August, on this day, a fishing boat came from outside the prefectural city of Jiangzhou, and a fisherman hurriedly got off from the fishing boat, inquiring about the Taoist temple of the five internal organs along the way.

After the fisherman found the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs, he directly reported his name to the Taoist Master Jin'an, saying that he rescued a person from the sea, and the man asked him to come to the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs to find the Taoist Master Jin'an.

When Jin An received the fisherman in the backyard, the fisherman handed out an envelope, saying that he rescued a man who was sunk by a storm while fishing at sea, and the man who fell into the water handed him a letter and an iron order. After he arrives in Fucheng, he must hand it over to Taoist Master Jin'an of Wuzang Taoist Temple.

Jin An recognized at a glance that the iron token was the criminal investigation commander's token, and Fatty Li also had one on him.He didn't rush to open the letter, but first asked about the situation of the person who fell into the water.

The fisherman shook his head and regretted: "When I caught him, he had been drifting at sea for several days without food and water, and he had been holding on with one breath. After handing me the envelope and this iron plate, he died."

"Supreme Taiyi Duer Tianzun." The old Taoist sighed.

Jin An gripped the envelope and the criminal investigation commander's card tightly, and asked nervously, "Where's that man's body?"

The fisherman pointed to the direction of the port and said he was still on his fishing boat.

Jin An asked the fisherman to lead the way.

On the way to the port, the fisherman looked back at Jin'an several times, and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked what was in his heart: "When I first arrived in Fucheng, I was also taken aback by the sights in Fucheng. Only then did I realize that the living gods lived in the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs, and even the Yuxian could be killed! Everyone along the way praised the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs and Taoist Master Jin’an, saying that it was the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs, Taoism of Jin’an, you sacrifice your life Save the people of the city!"

"At first, I was still wondering why the man who fell into the water had to ask me to find you, Daoist Jin'an before he died. Now I finally understand the reason! Daoist Jin'an, you are a living god who saves the suffering!"

Jin An's thoughts were all on the dead body of the fishing boat, so he could say a few words casually.

When the two arrived at the port, as soon as they boarded the fishing boat, they immediately felt a strong stench of fishy smell mixed with the smell of rotting corpses.

The corpse was hidden by thick fishing nets. The corpse was not Fatty Li, but a subordinate of Fatty Li who had met once, and was also from the Criminal Investigation Department.

The fisherman looked at the dead body with swollen and rotten faces, and looked at Jin An in surprise: "Master Jin'an can recognize the identity of the dead like this!"

Then the honest fisherman bowed to the corpse with folded palms: "Brother, I have already done what you entrusted to you. I hope you can rest in peace and reincarnate as soon as possible."

"Boatman, I came out in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring much silver. You accept this purse, and it is your hard work. This trip is hard for the boatman. The death of a person is of great importance. I hope the boatman will stay in Jiangzhou for a few more days. Later, someone from the yamen may come to you for more details." Jin An left a purse behind, picked up the corpse, and headed straight to the giant ship Yujing Jinque parked in the port.

Watching Jin An board the giant ship in the port, the fisherman was in a daze, and then quietly opened the money bag.When he saw a few ingots of white shiny silver in the purse, his heart beat wildly in disbelief: "This Daoist Jin'an is so generous!"

The reason why Jin An went to Uncle Lin and Master Xuanlei from Yujing Jinque, instead of going to the government office to find Mr. Fu Yin, was because Fatty Li had always avoided local officials when investigating the case of Nanqian and Beiqian. I don't know what the purpose of the criminal investigation department's secret visit to Jiangnan this time is.

That's why the criminal investigation department asked the fisherman to find Jin'an when he fell into the water. Except for the royal fleet going out to sea in the whole city, only the Taoist temple of the five internal organs was left worthy of the criminal investigation department's trust.

When Jin An brought the letter, the criminal investigation commander's card, and the dead body to Uncle Lin and Master Xuanlei, not long after, the two brought Jin An, boarded the Shenzhou, and reported the matter to several princes.

Not long after, the busy people at the port were amazed to see that the Shenzhou, which had just stopped in the port for a long time, hoisted the mast canvas, and the busy scene on the Shenzhou seemed to be going out to sea again.

As soon as Jin An returned to the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera, the old Taoist priest and Uncle Yuyangzi surrounded him and asked how the situation was going.
Jin An frowned slightly, as if something was on his mind: "Old Taoist priest, pack your things and go to sea with me."

"Fatty Li seems to have found the den of the gangsters and thieves in the Nanqian case, and ordered someone to send back a nautical chart engraved on a parchment scroll. Several princes have ordered to set sail and prepare to go to sea to destroy the rebel party. Several princes hope that the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera Let's help each other out and go out to sea with the ship to encircle and suppress the rebels together."

The sea is vast, and if you are not careful, you will lose your way, so Jin An wants to take Luo Geng's jade plate and go out to sea with the old Taoist priest, as a backup.
