Chapter 67 Qin Gong Temple

"Gentleman, let's go."

Wagging his little tail, Wang Jiexing let out a "woof" outside the courtyard.

"Here comes."

Wei Hao got up and saluted with his hands clasped together. He now understood why Wang Jiexing said yesterday that he had a lot of fragrance on his body. It turned out that he had met an elf.

I just don't know where it is sacred.

Continue on the road, and you will arrive at Fucheng today.

On the way, the scholars chatted all kinds of nonsense, which opened Wei Hao's eyes.

Whether it's a man or a dragon, the rich second generation can play well.

It's nice to have money.

"Hey, brothers and sisters, the 'Qin Gong Temple' is in front of you, why don't you join hands and pay respects?"

"Qin Gong Temple?"

Wei Hao asked curiously, "Which senior is it?"

"Elephants are often in Wufeng. It's normal not to know. This is the incense in the west of Fucheng City. This Duke Qin is the inspector of the west bank of the 'Shengyue Lake' in the previous dynasty. Like me, he is also a scholar."

"From the previous dynasty?"

"Exactly."

The scholar who talked about this matter held a folding fan in his hand, and he talked about the origin of this "Qin Gong Temple".

It turns out that this "Qin Gong Temple" was built by the villagers in the west of Fucheng City. More than 400 years ago, the "Shengyue Lake" broke its embankment. Only then did one party stay safe.

The low-lying area in the west of the Fucheng City was originally a gathering place for the poor. Qin Wenruo could have ignored it, but he still sailed the boat and sank the boat and saved the poor people.

And Qin Wenruo himself was the one who followed the sinking ship to block the breach.

Afterwards, Qin Wenruo was not commended. It was because the rescued people felt sorry for the "Duke Qin", so you and I gave each other money to create the "Dong Qin Temple".

Not long after Qin Wenruo's death, the blind old mother followed her because she missed her son.

The two lonely children were left behind, and the old housekeeper wanted to go to relatives, but they encountered a plague on the way and unfortunately died.

It can be said that this is a complete tragedy.

After hearing this, Wei Hao felt moved, and took Wang Jiexing to ride his horse. When he arrived at the "Qin Gong Temple", after offering a stick of incense, he looked up and was shocked: "Xiao Wang, I met you last night. Yes, it turned out to be Duke Qin's family."

Wang Jiexing was taken aback, and quickly said: "How can the incense in a small temple in the countryside make the gods travel far?"

But Wei Hao can be sure that what he saw was Qin Wenruo's family.

In a small village temple, the statue in the middle is Qin Wenruo, and beside him sits a clay sculpture of a blind old lady. Who else could it be if it wasn't the old mother that the middle-aged man carried on his back last night?
The dedicated old man on the other side is the old housekeeper who takes care of the young master. The two innocent children are both in buns, one holds a rattle, and the other is barefoot. They are smiling and happy.

The incense in the small temple is not strong, but it is very clean. It can be seen that the local villagers are grateful for the kindness and virtue of the ancestors who survived Duke Qin.

"Those who are called weak are not necessarily weak."

Wei Hao admired him deeply. He was different from his friends who were rushing for the exam. He didn't want to ask "Qin Gong" to bless him, but admired the courage of a frail scholar.

Drifting a ship and sinking a ship, sacrificing oneself for others, not only requires courage, but also a noble moral character, and it is a moral character that transcends the spiritual shackles of that era.

Back in time 400 years, Qin Wenruo at that time must have regarded ordinary poor people as real people, right?
Wei Hao respectfully offered another stick of incense, and when he was about to leave, he was stunned for a moment, as if he saw laughter and joy coming from the statue.

Thinking about it carefully, Qin Wenruo probably didn't enjoy family happiness, didn't show filial piety to his mother, and didn't even see the child grow up with his own eyes.

This is really a great sorrow in the world, and the local villagers should have felt this grief, and used this gratitude to use simple clay idols to reunite the "Qin Gong" family.

"amazing."

Going out the door, only to hear Bai Chen say three words, he was very moved, he was quite shocked, turned his head and said in a startled tone: "He is still an inspector after all."

"So it's amazing."

Wei Hao nodded. He thought of the group of people who were on the road last night, bringing the old and the young, and traveling in the starry night. Presumably, they also had some responsibilities.

A middle-aged man with a bamboo stick was carrying his old mother on his back, and the cakes presented by passers-by were also given to the children first, which is truly remarkable.

"You humans... are so strange."

Mr. Bai said with complicated emotions.

"Didn't you also say that man will conquer nature."

"Is this also one of the reasons?"

"Yes."

Wei Hao patted Mr. Bai's arm with a smile, "I believe that even if there are no gods and elves in this world, the local villagers will definitely build a shrine for Mr. Qin as a commemoration."

"There are no gods and spirits, so what's the use of cultivation?"

"It is not only commemorating the dead, but also educating future generations."

"Makes sense!"

Bai Chen's eyes lit up, "When I have children in the future, I will educate them in this way."

"You are flirting in the fence, don't you..."

"of course not!"

Young Master Bai looked proud, "There is no natural strangeness, how can you give birth to dragon sons and grandsons?"

"..."

Thinking of all kinds of grotesque sons and grandsons of dragons in the story, Wei Hao suddenly understood the hobbies of dragons.

Whether it looks good or not is secondary, being weird is a must!
Play is exciting!

"What dragon son and grandson?"

Chen Mengnan came over and asked.

"It's nothing, I'll talk to Mr. Bai about whether there are real dragons in Shengyue Lake."

"Dragon can be big or small, who can see it with their own eyes."

Chen Mengnan shook his head, and then suddenly remembered something, "Brother Bai, if you and the elephant become tributes in the spring of next year, it will be considered the same year."

At this time, Bai Chen also remembered that he still has the title of "Shadow Supervisor" in Dachao Prefecture, and he immediately smiled: "We will go to Xiadu together then, Brother Chen."

"To be honest, I have long wanted to go to the capital to meet the heroines of the world!"

"I heard that Xia Du has sixteen boats on the eighth floor of the four alleys of the two courtyards. There are really beautiful women like clouds and gorgeous women like smoke. Brother Chen, why don't you and I join hands and kill them all!"

"Right on my mind!"

The like-minded Chen Mengnan immediately said, "With my intelligence, I can at most get half of the 25 questions correct in the math subject. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the exam. It's better to wait a few years and donate a gift. Life is too short to keep the name. It's better to follow the example of Brother Elephant and leave a heroic name!"

"..."

Wei Hao went numb right away, why am I like you?

"Extremely extreme, I am the hero in the romantic scene, and I am invincible! Hahahaha..."

"Brother Bai! He is actually Chen's bosom friend!"

One person and one dragon hooked shoulders and backs, gradually drifted away, and had already started chatting about the tricks of the Goulan in Fucheng.

Wei Hao was completely speechless, sighed, turned around and cupped his fists at Qin Wenruo's statue to express his apology.
