Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 86
This Qingdi Temple was built more than 40 years ago by the local wealthy gentry. Over the years, it has gradually turned from prosperity to decline. The buildings in the temple have been repaired several times, and the incense is relatively thin.

Fusheng is the wish of the temple and the disciple of the Taoist priest.

According to his seniority, Xie Duan had to call him Senior Brother.

The old Taoist will not live in the Qingdi Temple for a long time. He usually travels around the world and preaches everywhere. Even if he wants to find a place to clean up, he will only return to the Tiantai Mountain Taoist Temple. This time he met Xie Duan as a teacher.

It was also because of this that he only came back once in a while.

Since becoming a teacher, Xie Duan has come to Qingdi Temple on time every day. First, he followed Brother Fu Sheng for morning class, then cleaned the courtyard, filled the water tank with water, and sometimes went up the mountain to cut firewood.

Qingdi Temple is located in the eastern suburbs of the county, and there is no shortage of mountains and rivers nearby.

When there are pilgrims, I entertain them, and when there are no pilgrims, I practice. No one bothers me. Before I know it, more than a month has passed.

As for the two ancient swords obtained in Yanpingjin, Xie Duan has also figured it out. The old Taoist told him a story of "Two Swords Transforming into a Dragon". .

Legend has it that Chi, the son of a general, avenged his father. After he united with knights to kill the king of Chu, the two swords turned into streamers and disappeared, and their whereabouts are unknown.

Until the Western Jin Dynasty, Lei Huan, the magistrate of Fengcheng County, dug out a box at the basement of the dungeon. There were two swords inside the box, named Ganjiang Moxie.

A few years later, Zhang Hua was involved in the case of the royal family seizing power, and his family was ransacked. Mo Xiejian's whereabouts have been unknown since then, until Lei Hua, the son of Lei Huan, took up the post of Jian'an County. The sword unsheathed itself and fell into the bottom of the lake, and then two dragons flew out from the bottom of the lake, nodding to Lei Hua in thanks.

Then Ssangyong dived away, and Mo Xie, the go-getter, disappeared from sight.

Today, Yanpingjin is still known as "Jianjin" and "Longjin".

Xie Duan also did not expect that after thousands of years, these two peerless swords would be obtained from the belly of the hooked snake, what kind of luck is this!

The two swords are made of the iron essence of the five mountains and the gold and silver of the Liuhe. It took three years to cast them. The swords are infused with the blood and belief of the general Mo Xie and his wife. They are swords of sincere love. If one side survives, the other side will survive. , but the two swords seemed to be sealed by some kind of power.

The old Taoist didn't know exactly how to open it, but he just told him to store it carefully. If he is destined to open the seal in the future, it will surely shine brilliantly.

It's been a month or so, the old Taoist went out for a trip, and just returned recently, he didn't say or do anything when he came back, Xie Duan was still the same as before, except for practicing Taoist teachings, he was just doing miscellaneous things.

But today, Qingdi Temple ushered in an acquaintance.

Wang Rui resolutely made a special trip to visit his teacher.

Who do you worship as your teacher?

Naturally, it couldn't be Xie Duan.

Wang Rui knelt in the yard, from morning to noon, without a grain of rice or a drop of water.

For this reason, he knelt for two more hours, and finally passed out directly. It was Xie Duan who carried him into the main hall and poured a bowl of hot soup before waking up.

It wasn't until this moment that the old Taoist finally expressed his position and let him stay, but his job was the same as that of Xie Duan, starting from the coolie.

But he was not as lucky as Xie Duan.

The job of sweeping the floor and carrying water was taken over by Xie Duan, and it happened that the Qingdi Temple had temple land, so he was assigned to take care of the crops.

He walked through the gate of hell, and he also saw through it that fame and fortune are nothing but fleeting smoke, so he discussed with his wife and decided to enter the Tao.

In fact, the old Taoist also meant the same thing. Wang Rui's heart was changed by that strange person, and his heart was still enlightened. This means that he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort whether he is practicing Taoism or studying in the future, so he has long intended to accept disciples.

It's just that the old man took a good face, gave some hints on the sidelines, and waited all the time. After all, he couldn't cry and beg someone to be his apprentice. If Wang Rui didn't come, it could only mean that he didn't have a chance.

Fortunately, he came, and he was even full of perseverance, which made the old man very satisfied, but he has the habits of a rich boy, and he needs to be tempered. If he can persevere, he may become a great weapon in the future.

After going back and forth, Xie Duan and him became brothers.

……

Changshan County, Sheriff's Mansion.

A street outside the mansion gate has been cleared up now.

Those who set up stalls and beggars were all driven out.

Magistrate Wu Wenbin, dressed in official robes, was very clean and tidy, his face was extremely energetic and radiant, behind him stood officials of all sizes, and the county magistrates of several surrounding counties had arrived, and Li Qing was no exception.

As early as half a month ago, there was news from above that the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to announce the decree would visit the county soon.

Yesterday and today, two post offices came to the door one after another to make them ready to welcome them, so Mr. Wu did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Early in the morning, all the magistrates of the nearby counties were summoned.

"When I see the imperial envoy in a while, don't talk nonsense, show me your wit! The imperial envoy came down this time for the matter of 'relief with work'. Who dares to talk nonsense, I will let him go around."

Master Wu's face was gloomy, and he gave instructions to the people behind him.

"Don't worry, my lord, I know what to expect!"

Several officials bowed their hands together and saluted, saying respectfully.

"Well! Li Qing, as the magistrate of Changshan County, you have also set an example in this county by using work in lieu of relief. Your credit will not be missed! When you meet the imperial envoy, you must not lose your courtesy. Everything depends on this official. Winks act."

He then looked at Li Qing next to him, and explained something.

Li Qing nodded, saluted him, and agreed.

After waiting for another half an hour, the sound of a gong finally came from a distance. Looking along the street, a group of majestic people and horses were slowly walking towards this side. When the group arrived, the people consciously avoided it.

The eight-carried sedan chair has a magnificent aura, and the accompanying guards are majestic.

Speaking of the eight-carrying sedan chair, not everyone is qualified to sit in it. The emperor travels in a 16-person sedan chair. Beijing officials above the third rank can only sit in the four-carrying sedan chair in the capital. Below the third rank, it is ordinary. Two lifts, only when you reach the place, will you improve slightly.

The imperial envoy patrols hunting on behalf of the sky, which represents the face of the royal family, so when visiting places, you can take eight sedan chairs.

Not long after, the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.

A group of officials stood still one by one, not daring to show their atmosphere.

"The next official, Wu Wenbin, governor of Dongyang County, together with the officials of the county, welcome the visit of the imperial envoy."

Seeing that the sedan chair had settled down, Wu Wenbin immediately stepped forward and took the lead to salute.

The attendant lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and Fu Daozhang slowly came out of the sedan chair. The purple official robe was extremely bright, and his expression eased as he looked around.

"Master Wu, you don't need to be too polite, everyone agrees!"

Facing the crowd, he bowed his hands and returned the salute.

Since the emperor appointed him to come down to proclaim the decree, it took more than two months to trek all the way, and finally arrived at Dongyang County.

Fortunately, all of this is worthwhile, as long as the emperor can see the results and hope, no matter how hard or tiring he is, he will have no complaints.
