The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 106 Overnight at Sanqing Temple (Pink plus more)

The next day, the three of them took Ji Rongshu on the road. Along the way, the little scholar couldn't help saying some of Yimen's "contributions" with joy. Yinhu listened leisurely, but Yinzhen and Yinxiang looked at him with even more weird expressions. Yimen What he did was exactly the same as what Yinhu did in the county government. If you say it wasn't planned by Yinhu, no one will believe it now.

Ji Rongshu, a frail scholar, was very tired from being bumped all the way on horseback, but when he thought of his idol by his side, he was too embarrassed to show it, so he had to grit his teeth and stand firm until it was getting dark, and Yinzhen decided to go to the inn today to stay overnight. After all, it is a bit unreasonable for them to live in the bedroom of the county government for a period of time.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the inn, he found that the door was closed tightly, and the door was tightly locked by a huge iron chain. Yin Xiang went up and knocked for a long time, but no one answered.With a pale face, Ji Rongshu said weakly while supporting his waist: "Thirteen beauties, don't knock, all the inns within hundreds of miles are like this, not to mention the inns, even the inns in the town are closed Closed."

Yinzhen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "What's going on? How can the inn close down casually? Are they not afraid of being dismissed?" Ji Rongshu suddenly felt that this fourth master was a little bit stupid, and he didn't dare to laugh, so he just continued to support his waist : "Back to Sibei Le, I know why the inn is closed, but I don't know who made it close." Yinhu had a flash of inspiration and his face was serious, but he didn't speak.

But Yinxiang couldn't help it: "Why is the post station closed?" "It's not because there are too many victims, rushing out of the city, disturbing the post station management, making the post station unable to work normally, so they are all closed, and the inn is the same." Yinzhen snorted coldly for a while: "It's nonsense!"

The little scholar also became angry at this moment: "Isn't it just nonsense, but just this nonsense, so that the caliber of Futai, Daotai, and Taiwan and Taiwan are the same? Otherwise, Sibeile thought, who borrowed the little post station to manage things?" How dare you thank your guests behind closed doors in front of the imperial envoy?"

Yinzhen's face turned red and white at the moment, and he was about to turn into a fire-breathing dragon.Yinhu stood up with a smile: "Fourth Brother, this matter is quite weird, let's vent our anger at the post here, why not enter Suyang early and see what kind of chaos there is!"

Yinxiang also stood up: "Yes, fourth brother, it's getting dark, it's not a problem for us to stand here, we'd better find a place to stay overnight, and leave early tomorrow." Yinzhen looked at Yinxiang Hu: "Didn't he say that all the inns and post houses with a radius of a hundred miles are closed?" Yinhu frowned and looked at Ji Rongshu: "Do you know where you can rest near here?"

The little scholar hesitated for a moment, then glanced back and forth a few times at Yinhu and the other three.Yinxiang also had a good idea at this moment: "You don't need to look at us, if there is something, just tell us that when we came, we lived in a ruined temple with air leaks from all sides!"

Then the little scholar straightened up and pointed to the front: "It's not far from here. After passing the forest in front, there is a Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. I used to rest there when I came here, but it's full of disaster victims now, and the old Taoist priests don't know what to do." There will be some entertainment, all of you are royal nobles..."

Yinxiang interrupted him impatiently: "Royal nobles are also human beings, and they also have to eat and sleep. Aren't you tired after walking around for a whole day?" Yinsi looked at Yinzhen: "Fourth brother?" Yinzhen With a cold face: "Otherwise, what should I do?" Yinhu rubbed his nose: "Then... let's go."

It's not far, but it's still a long way to walk, and it's not easy to walk around the potholes.Yinhu asked his servant to bring Ji Rongshu on the horse, and someone leaned on him to relieve the pain caused by the bumps.The little scholar was moved to tears.It wasn't until night fell that everyone saw the so-called Taoist temple in an inconspicuous small valley.

This is a very old building, divided into three courtyards at the front and back, the mottled earth walls have long lost the color of vermilion lacquer, and even the three characters Qiyunguan hanging on the main entrance are half golden and half black, with a dark blue background It's full of moth-eaten holes.When Yinzhen and his party arrived, white lanterns were already lit on the door, and the light swayed in the wind, giving people a creepy feeling.

Surprisingly, when night fell, the Taoist lamps were lit, but the main gate was wide open.Taking a closer look, it was indeed the same as Ji Rongshu's description, whether it was the gate or the stone steps, as long as there was a shelter, they were all crowded with people, and the rooms everywhere were full of light, and one of them had white beard and hair The old Taoist priest was wearing a patched Taoist robe, holding a candlestick in his hand, and checked all the way. The wind blew his beard and hair and his fat Taoist robe, making grinning noises.

Such an overcrowded place made the three older brothers frowned, do they still have a place to stay?But Ji Rongshu stepped forward quickly: "Master Daoist, I'm back." The old Taoist raised the lamp and waved it over the little scholar's face, and an old voice sounded: "You are here, you are bringing guests, little old man There is just a place for some of you, so please come with me."

The three elder brothers looked at each other, but Ji Rongshu said respectfully, "Thank you, Taoist priest." The old Taoist turned a deaf ear to it, and turned around to the commanding height of the Taoist temple, Sanqing Hall.Ji Rongshu quickly walked in front of Yinhu: "Guys, this Taoist priest is the master of the temple here, and he is a well-known benevolent person. I don't know how old I am. Every year, I donate all the sesame oil money to do good deeds. Everyone We respectfully call him Yuqing Half Immortal."

The three of them listened in awe, and followed Ji Rongshu to catch up with the old Taoist footsteps. Only then did they realize that the old Taoist looked stooped, with white hair and white beard, and wore shoes with holes in his feet, but his steps were light and steady, and he kept walking. Keep an unhurried speed, as if you don't know who is following you.

When we arrived at the entrance of Sanqing Hall, there were people in disorder beside the stone pillars under the porch, some were leaning on them, some were sleeping and some were half-closed. When they saw the old Taoist approaching, they quickly got up one by one to salute the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist was gentle. He waved his hand and stepped into the hall.

This Sanqing Temple was as narrow as everyone imagined, old, dark, and mixed with an inexplicable strange smell. The ground was full of people, and only a corridor was left in the center.The old Tao walked along this corridor all the way to the statue of Sanqing. The fragrance in the furnace was still burning. After the old Tao respectfully saluted the statue, he led the three of them around the statue and arrived at their destination.

Rao, the four of them were mentally prepared and knew that the conditions would not be too good, but they didn't expect that the so-called place left by the old man was the bottom of a long altar table!The three of them all had black faces, and even Ji Rongshu's expression turned ugly. He looked at the old Taoist in embarrassment: "Master Dao, this, how can this be, they..."

The old Taoist gave him a sideways glance: "You don't live here, the pillar over there is your place," he said, raising the candlestick.Ji Rongshu had a bitter face: "It doesn't matter where I stay for the night, but they..." The old Taoist narrowed his eyes: "Look, they walked along the way, they still have them... Why, they live, Can’t live with these few? Do you know how many people can’t afford to live in this square table!”

Ji Rongshu stopped talking, just looked at the three elder brothers in embarrassment, Yinzhen's face was unpredictable, Yinhu frowned, looked at the fourth brother with a frown, and it was Yinxiang who said: "Okay! Brothers, let's spend the night together If there's any difficulty, if they can live, we can live!" Yinhu looked at him: "You...you don't care!" After speaking, he ignored the big guys watching, bowed, and was the first to get under the table, leaning on the table. He closed his eyes against the wall.Lu Jiu, who was so shocked behind her, almost screamed, when did my master suffer this crime!
Yinxiang was the second to get in: "Brother, come over a little bit, at least give me some space..." Yinzhen stayed where he was.The old Taoist just looked at the two people who got in, and then walked out without looking back: "The rest of you, follow the old Tao, there is room." The two servants of Yinhu spoke first: "Master Dao, We don't need it, country people, just lean on the door, thank you for your trouble." Yinzhen's bodyguard looked at the master and then at the old man, without moving or speaking, and finally Yinzhen said helplessly: "You follow Daoist, go, you've been running for a day!"

Only then did the old Taoist fix his eyes on Yinzhen's face, the candlelight flickered slightly, and the cold-faced king showed no expression.The old Taoist shook his sleeves and led the people away. Ji Rongshu came over and knelt down on the ground: "I'm sorry, I, I don't know, how could the Taoist..." Yinhu squinted his eyes and fell asleep: "Okay, you are not tired Is your waist falling apart? Rest..."

Yinxiang looked worriedly at Yinzhen who was standing still outside: "Brother..." Yinhu sighed when he saw him like this.When Yinzhen heard him sigh, his expression froze, and he sat cross-legged on the spot, leaning against the table legs, and fell into a samadhi.The two Zhuang Ding brought by Yinhu looked at each other in dismay, took out the kettle and a few scones in the package and handed them to Yinhu and Yinxiang: "Master, use some."

Yinhu took the pancakes and water, and Ji Rongshu stared straight at the side, the idol's bodyguards are so awesome, without Yinhu's reminder, Ji Rongshu got his share, and excitedly ran to his bunk to do it. Good deed, such a big pancake, how can we not share it with others?

After a while, there was a smell of scones in the hall, Yinhu and Yinxiang shared a piece of pancake, and then they leaned on each other and closed their eyes.However, after all, they have never tried to sit and sleep in such a small place, the two of them couldn't fall asleep anyway, and Yinxiang still had to probe Yinzhen's situation from time to time.

Yinhu closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, recalling what she saw, heard, and felt along the way.It was all hit by Caixuan!Local officials are "too busy" to care about the life and death of the people. Liming is struggling on the death line, kicking the world and hell.Huang Ama, is this the world you rule?Is this the prosperous age you call yourself?It was actually seen through by a woman in the inner house at a glance. She didn't even need to conduct an on-site inspection to know what was lacking here and what to do!Huang Ama, you really should come and see it!
