Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 5 Tricks
Shanyin County was established in the Qin Dynasty and flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Shanyin County Government Office was built in the center of the county seat, facing south from the north, facing the Bell and Drum Towers to the east, and the Temple of Earth to the west, with a superior geographical location.

There is a screen wall in front of the gate, engraved with a fierce beast in the shape of a unicorn, named "greed", which is intended to remind officials not to be corrupt and pervert the law.

On the left and right sides, there are two mighty stone lions, with a grievance drum on one side, and two government servants on duty, holding knives, standing guard on both sides of the door.

With a crying voice, the aunt of the Wang family first stepped forward and beat the grievance drum. The yamen servant on duty asked the reason, and after the notification, she led her in.

Seeing this, Xie Duan stepped forward and came to the door.

"What? You lost your child too? Want to report to the police?"

A strong man with a horse face on the left saw him and asked.

"I didn't lose my child, and I didn't report to the officials. I just wanted to ask, is the current county magistrate named Li Qing and Li Wenxiu?"

Xie Duan first bowed his hands to greet him, and then asked him.

According to the appointment and dismissal system of local officials in the Daqi Dynasty, if nothing else happened, the term of office for a county magistrate would be three years, with a maximum of five years. After the term expired, the imperial court would send people down to assess their performance and decide whether to stay or not.

As far as he knows, brother-in-law Li Qing has been working in Shanyin County for nearly three years, in order to prevent the wrong marriage, it is better to find out.

"Bold! How dare you call an adult by his first name, how rude!"

Hearing this for the first time, the strong man with a horse face was startled for a moment, and then reprimanded him.

"So, Lord Li Qing is still in office?"

Seeing his reaction, Xie Duan already had a bottom line in his heart.

All the hardships along the way were not in vain.

"Brother, please don't get me wrong. My name is Xie Duan. I'm Xie Duan from Houguan County. My sister Xie Ying is the married wife of your lord, and lord Li is her brother-in-law. I'm here to visit you this time. I hope that big brother can make it easier, go to Tongchuan, thank you very much!"

After listening to his speech, the horse-faced man looked at him carefully, and saw that although he was dressed like a beggar, his temperament and voice were extremely good.

Those who can work in the yamen will not have a bad brain. This person can accurately tell the name and ancestral home of the adult's wife, and even has the courage to go to the yamen alone to recognize relatives. Based on these two points, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person.

What's more, ordinary people, who dared to go to the county government to identify relatives after eating a leopard, didn't dare to embarrass him immediately, and went in to report.

After waiting for a long time, Xie Duanfang saw the yamen servant come out, followed by the Wang family aunt who had gone in to report to the police, her face was still full of tears.

"The yamen has accepted your matter, go back and wait for news!"

Aunt Wang's family thanked her with a bow, and then left along the road.

After seeing her off, the horse-faced man immediately changed his expression, and with a smile on his face, he walked towards Xie Duan respectfully and saluted.

"Master Duan, you've worked hard all the way, my lord is here to invite you."

Xie Duan nodded and followed him into the Yamen without saying a word.

The yamen, the office of a county official, occupies a very large area, and is generally divided into the inner house and the outer yamen, also known as "the front yamen and the back mansion".

Enter from the gate, pass through the Yimen, and go to the lobby, which is also called the main hall. The most common and common way is called the court.

Brother-in-law Li Qing, dressed in a blue official robe, with a sharp face and a beard under his chin, greeted him in the hall at this moment.

Looking at Xie Duan's miserable appearance for a while, he had to believe that it was him, and at the same time, a sense of regret was beyond words.

"Brother-in-law, stay safe!"

With a smile on his face, Xie Duan stepped forward to show Confucian etiquette.

"Okay, okay! It's good to be safe! I haven't seen you for three years, and I have grown taller and matured! Your sister has been thinking about you every day these days."

After speaking, Li Qing stepped forward and took his hand, and went straight into the inner house.

The inner house is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. It is an official residence and is heavily guarded. In the main hall at the moment, the elder sister Xie Ying is walking back and forth with a baby in her arms.

"Ma'am, look who is here."

After entering the door, Li Qing was the first to say a word of reminder.

The moment he saw Xie Duan, Xie Ying froze in place.

She handed the baby to the maidservant next to her, stepped forward, looked at Xie Duan from top to bottom, unknowingly, tears fell down.

"Xiao Duan, it's Xiao Duan! My God! What have you been through these days!"

Xie Duan showed a smile and kept speaking comforting words.

"It's okay! It's okay! Sister, all this is over."

Although he has changed his soul, after these two months, he has already accepted this fact and identity, and he is very clear that he cannot go back. In this case, it is better to live in the present moment.

Looking at the young woman in front of him who was only three years older than him, who was full of concern for him at the moment, he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

This is his relative in this world, the only relative.

"Okay, okay! Everyone has arrived, why are you crying!"

Li Qing comforted Xie Ying first, and then said again.

"Xiao Duan, we only received the letter you sent two days ago. We were about to send someone to pick you up, but unexpectedly you came."

"This natural disaster is merciless, and what's more, it's a great blessing for you to be safe and sound, so you can live here with peace of mind! They are all your own family, and the family does not speak of two families, so don't have any burdens."

Xie Ying also wiped away her tears and nodded in agreement.

She first asked people to call her two children and introduced them to each other, and then she asked about the situation at home. When she knew that the two elders had passed away and the huge Xie family was torn apart, she couldn't help feeling sad.

But fortunately, the heavens have eyes and left an incense stick for the Xie family.

The siblings reunited after a long absence, and since there might be only the two of them left in the Xie family, they talked about everything and expressed their longing for many years.

……

In the corner, the west courtyard of the inner house.

In the quaint room, it was tidy and clean.

On the left side of the bed in the room, a screen was erected, and behind the screen was a large bathtub. Xie Duan was stripped naked at this moment, and his whole body was immersed in the basin.

The mist rises, the water temperature is suitable, and I feel extremely comfortable.

Ever since he came to this world, especially after the disaster, he hasn't taken a hot bath for a long time. In the past, whenever he saw a stream or a lake, he would jump down and rub it twice. He had never enjoyed it like this before.

Xie Ying expected that he must be physically and mentally exhausted from the long journey, so he ordered someone to arrange a room for him, and let him take a bath and change clothes, and rest well.

After bathing and changing clothes, eating and drinking enough, Xie Duan lay on the couch, although he felt extremely relaxed physically and mentally, but he still didn't feel sleepy.

Reluctantly, he simply sat up, and with a thought, he instantly sensed the two yin and yang talisman coins in his mind, floating in the sea of ​​consciousness.

With a 360-degree mind, he inspected it carefully in all directions without any dead ends. He found that although the two copper coins had the same appearance, their internal qualities were quite different, and the Gangdou talisman engraved on the copper coins was also completely different.

When he first picked it up, he didn't pay attention, thinking that as long as it was copper, it would be valuable, but on the way into the city, he didn't find out why after a lot of research, he just felt that it was similar to ordinary copper coins.

Now if you look at it with your mind, it is equivalent to the copper coin being magnified several times. In addition, the talisman money has been connected with his mind, so it is easy to study it. Finally, you can get a glimpse of the essence and discover its secrets.

Apart from noticing the difference in the patterns of the Izumo seals, even the material of the two copper coins, whether it is copper or not, remains to be investigated.

After studying for a long time, Xie Duan felt that it was necessary to try the formula. He had to confirm whether it was effective before proceeding to the next step of exploration.

In this way, if you encounter a different kind in the future, you can also have the power to protect yourself.

According to the driving method in memory, he pinched a Taoist formula with his left hand, that is, the middle finger and ring finger were bent inward, and the thumb pressed the middle finger and ring fingertips.

This tactic is one of the several finger tactic commonly used by Taoist mages, and it can be used to cast spells to protect the body. Relatively speaking, it is relatively simple.

"Gossip Jiazi, magic tricks and ghosts, order!"

Xie Duan then concentrated his thoughts and silently recited the formula in his heart.

As soon as the order came out, the talisman money in the sea of ​​consciousness instantly shone brightly, and it felt like they had rotated around each other for a circle, and then appeared in front of his eyes out of thin air.

"Om..."

Fu Qian whispered and turned into a solid body, and the light lasted for a long time.
