White Bone Monkey King

As soon as Jin An and the others returned to Fucheng, they went to Xue Mansion first.

The first is to settle Xue Xiong's disappearance case and give an explanation to his employer.

Secondly, I came to bring Xue Xiong’s ashes and belongings.

At this time, Li Weiwei had already re-disguised himself as Commander Xu. Under his leadership, the group successfully met Mr. and Mrs. Xue family.

Missing for half a month.

The two elders were both thin and haggard. Such a big thing happened at home. The old man suddenly fell ill and was seen by several people on crutches.

After receiving the bad news, especially after seeing a few belongings of Xue Xiong's belongings, Mr. and Mrs. Xue believed that their son had been killed, and they were immediately heartbroken.

The old lady couldn't bear the blow and fainted from grief.

Faced with the pain of losing their son, Jin An and the old Taoist priest could do nothing to help the two elders except to teach them how to mourn and adapt.

After the case in Xue Mansion was over and Jin An and the old Taoist priest left Xue Mansion, it was already after sunset.

The setting sun on the horizon dyed most of the city red.

Originally, Jin An planned to go to He Mansion first to bring back the silly sheep, but seeing that it was getting late now and there was a curfew coming soon, he simply waited until tomorrow to bring back the silly sheep.

As for Li Weiwei.

However, he did not return to Taoist Temple with Jin An and the others, but continued to stay in Xue Mansion as his commander Xu.

…

Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

More than half a month later, when Jin An and the old Taoist priest returned to the Taoist temple, most of the expansion of the Taoist temple had been completed, and the main structures of several halls had been completed.

At this time, just in time for the end of work, masons, carpenters, stonemasons, handymen, etc. covered in dust began to walk out of the inland area. When they saw Jin An and the old Taoist priest who had returned from a long journey, they all bowed respectfully.

The common people fear ghosts and gods, so they are also polite to Taoist priests and monks.

The expansion of the Taoist temple and the purchase of supplies were all taken care of by the stewards of He Mansion. Especially when Jin An and the others went to Wutou Village this time, the security and night vigil in the Taoist temple were all taken care of by the people of He Mansion. When he heard the commotion outside, Steward He and a few people hurried out to take a look. When they saw that it was Jin An and the old Taoist priest who had returned, they all greeted them with joy.

"Taoist Master Jin'an."

"Daozhang Chen."

"Taoist Master Jin'an, you are back. Did your business go well this time?"

Now everyone in the He family knows that Jin An and the old Taoist priest are the saviors of everyone in the He family. Especially the eldest lady and the third young lady, they all regard Mr. Jin An with special regard and are particularly concerned about him.

Therefore, they, who are servants, are more respectful when facing Jin An.

Jin An is well aware that life in this world is not easy for everyone in every profession. When Jin An faced these servants of He family, he did not feel superior to others and become arrogant and despise others. On the contrary, he was polite and polite to everyone. Say hello and treat everyone equally.

"Thank you all the donors for your concern. Everything is going well."

"You don't need to be so formal. We have been traveling far these days, and we would like to thank you all for everything you have done for Guanli. These are some local specialties that we bought on the road as a thank you gift to thank all the donors. Please don't Everyone has a share in declining.”

The old Taoist priest loved the excitement and took the initiative to help distribute the local specialties purchased on the road with a cheerful smile.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest's approachable way of life made the servants of the He family feel that they were respected. Everyone was frightened and admired and respected Jin An and the old Taoist priest even more from the bottom of their hearts.

After distributing the local products, Jin An asked everyone to go back and have a good rest. Now that they were back, he, the old Taoist priest, and the sword-sharpening guards would continue to guard the Taoist temple.

Next, Jin An and the old Taoist priest entered the Taoist temple and first placed the ashes of Yu Youzi, Shen's mother and son in the urns, and then took a good wash to wash away the travel dust.

By the time all this was done, it was completely dark.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest brought back the roast chicken, roast goose, haggis, peanuts and other snacks packed with lotus leaves, as well as three jars of famous deer blood wine from Jixian Tower in Fucheng, to the restaurant opposite the Taoist temple. The coffin shop asked Uncle Lin to report that he was safe.

Of course, I also took the opportunity to ask Uncle Lin about the recent incident where the Yinyi River was cut off again.

As well as the important event of the government recruiting various Taoist temples and temples to exorcise demons under the Yinyi River and Qiankudong.

Originally, Jin An wanted to buy pig head meat, pig ears, and pig tails for dinner and dinner.

As a result, the old Taoist priest's complexion changed drastically and he almost vomited in the street.

The old Taoist priest was almost stared to death by the pork shop owner.

Just came back from Headless Village.

The old Taoist priest cried and said that he would not be able to look directly at the pig head meat for a few years.

It was a good thing that the old Taoist priest did not mention this matter. When he mentioned it, Jin An couldn't help but think of the pig head that Song Fangping and Song Fangping's wife ate. Jin An could no longer look directly at the pig head, meat and ears.

Because they had already greeted Uncle Lin in advance, the coffin shop was not closed today when Jin An and the old Taoist priest came to Uncle Lin with wine and snacks.

After the night curfew, the night patrol Xiangyong would turn a blind eye and not take too strict measures when encountering such murmurs among neighbors, as long as it was not excessive, such as gathering a crowd to cause trouble, or walking out of the street.

Knowing that Jin An and the old Taoist priest were coming to drink in the evening, Uncle Lin had already set up an Eight Immortals table in the shop in advance. The three of them had just placed the food and drinks in a lively manner when, on the other side, a sword-sharpening figure silently walked out of the Taoist temple.

The master of sword-sharpening.

Walking footsteps are silent.

With the strength of Jin'an's current top-notch master, he didn't notice when Xi Jian lurked outside the city and returned to the Taoist temple.

When I think of the scene when I first picked up the sharpened sword.

The origin of sword sharpening is becoming more and more mysterious.

"Master."

"Third Junior Brother."

"Mr. Lin."

Stiffly, he sharpened his sword in a daze, walked into the coffin shop silently with his footsteps, greeted politely, and then sat down at the table in silence and motionlessness.

Sharpening swords has started again.

Avenue induction!

Yin Deyi!

Jin Anle said cheerfully: "Good disciple, come here, come here, eat more peanuts."

Jin An picked vegetables for Xiejian, worried that Xiejian would be hungry.

"Thank you, Master."

Avenue induction again!

Yin Deyi!

Jin An burst out laughing. The old Taoist priest was as envious as an old child, clamoring that he also wanted peanuts and deer blood wine.

Just like a fifty-year-old child.

In order to calm his ears, Jin An also gave the old Taoist priest some peanuts instead of just drinking wine.

Then he also took the initiative to pour a glass of deer blood wine for Uncle Lin.

Jixianlou's deer blood wine has been famous for a long time. Uncle Lin, who looked sallow and looked a little sick, immediately smelled the aroma and recognized the wine, and said in surprise: "Is this Jixianlou's deer blood wine?"

Jin An gave a thumbs up, praising Uncle Lin for his good nose.

Uncle Lin asked Jin An, is this wine not cheap?

He passed by Jixian Tower several times, but he only smelled the fragrant aroma of wine, but never tasted it.

Uncle Lin looked at Jin An in confusion and asked him why he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy Jixianlou's deer blood wine today. One purchase or three jars of wine?

Did you cause any trouble outside? Do you have anything to ask for today?

Jin An hurriedly explained that I am the kind of person who stirs up trouble everywhere. Uncle Lin, I am wronged. He mainly thinks that the rainy season has just passed recently and the weather has become hot and humid. Older people are prone to humidity and joint pain in their hands and feet. , resistance becomes poor, and the spirit is listless. That’s why I bought the aphrodisiac deer blood wine, specifically for Uncle Lin to replenish your qi and strengthen your yang, nourish your kidneys, and make you strong and live a long life.

At this time, while Jin An and Uncle Lin were chatting, the old Taoist priest secretly drank several glasses of deer blood wine like a cow.

As this person gets older, he is prone to lack of energy, not to mention that he has just returned from a long journey and journey for half a month and is exhausted.

After drinking several glasses of deer blood wine, the old Taoist priest suddenly felt warm all over his body, his limbs seemed to be burning with matches, and his spirit became a little fire.

"Mr. Lin, you also come and drink this deer blood wine. The deer blood wine of Jixian Tower really deserves its reputation."

The old Taoist priest said to the coffin shop owner who had a sallow complexion and was weak and sick, as if he had bad kidneys and liver.

Uncle Lin took a sip of the deer blood wine, which was long and fragrant. There was no medicinal smell like Polygonatum and Poria cocos, nor the pungency of Chinese medicinal materials. He was intoxicated and closed his eyes for a long time, then his throat slid and he couldn't help it. Thumbs up for the good wine.

Jin An looked at Uncle Lin, who had a sallow complexion, and quickly flattered him, saying, "Uncle Lin, if you like drinking, there are two jars of aphrodisiac wine left here, so I will give them to you, Uncle Lin."

After a few glasses of wine, even the calm Uncle Lin started talking more. He asked Jin An if his trip went well. Did he find the missing Yu Youzi in Wutou Village?

Talking about Jade Youzi.

Jin An's eyes became lonely for a moment.

"I have found the bones of my uncle, and they have been brought back to the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. I plan to carve out a piece of land in the temple to build a merit hall for my uncle and my master."

Lonely, Jin An also took a sip of aphrodisiac wine.

Hissed.

So hot.

Jin An quickly took a few bites of vegetables to fill his stomach, and then described the trip to Uncle Lin in detail.

This time they accepted a commission from the Xue Mansion and went to Wushan Ridge and Cang'er Mountain to look for the rumored Wutou Village. Uncle Lin knew about it in advance.

After hearing about the dangers of Hou Jin'an's profession, and especially hearing about Yu Youzi's uneasy feelings, Uncle Lin's face looked full of emotion and sigh.

He and his three brothers from Wu Zang Taoist Temple can be regarded as old neighbors, and they are also neighbors and friends.

Uncle Lin looked at Jin An in awe: "On behalf of the old friends of Wu Zang Taoist Temple, I would like to thank you, Mr. Jin An, for everything you have done for Wu Zang Taoist Temple."

"I believe that when Yuyang returns, he will definitely be grateful for everything you have done for Wu Zang Taoist Temple and his two senior brothers."

After speaking, Uncle Lin looked pleased and looked at Jin An with admiration: "Since Taoist Master Jin An came to Wu Zang Taoist Temple, I have personally seen Wu Zang Taoist Temple changing and developing rapidly every day."

"In the past, the Five Zang Taoist Temple was withered, like a sullen old man. But now, the Five Zang Taoist Temple is full of vitality every day, with incense devotees every day, and its popularity is bustling. All these changes are caused by you, Taoist Master Jin'an. Jin'an Taoist Temple Chang is one of the few wonderful people I have ever seen in my life, he is indescribable and unfathomable."

The greedy old Taoist priest started talking more and more: "Mr. Lin, my little brother is now the new headmaster of the Five Zang Taoist Temple. Before his death, Taoist Brother Yu Youzi personally named my little brother the new headmaster of the Five Zang Taoist Temple. You Don’t worry, Taoism of the five internal organs will not be humiliated in the hands of my little brother.”

"Mr. Lin, do you know what my little brother looks like?"

Jin An was afraid that the old Taoist priest would drink too much and brag about anything, so Uncle Lin saw the joke and quickly told the old Taoist priest to stop.

Uncle Lin looked at Jin An with a surprised look on his face, and the look of relief on his face became even stronger.

"Sure enough, I have a good eye for recognizing people."

"Taoist Master Jin'an, I would like to toast you and wish you in advance the glory of Wu Zang Taoism and Wu Zang Taoist Temple."

After Jin An took a sip of aphrodisiac wine, he immediately ate a few mouthfuls of snacks to calm his stomach. Then he went up the pole and asked Uncle Lin about the recent interruption of the Yinyi River and the government's plan to recruit Taoist temples and temples to the Yinyi River. , the matter of exorcising evil spirits from thousands of caves.

After listening to this, Uncle Lin looked normal and replied: "There is indeed such a thing in recent folk rumors."

"But the government office has not officially issued a notice yet."

"But this matter can't happen without wind. I guess that this matter should be deliberately spread by the government office to test the public's reaction. After all, the location of Qiankudong is somewhat special, and it happens to be right at the Dragon King Terrace. The Dragon King Terrace is also It is related to some folk sacrificial customs, and I am afraid that public opinion will oppose it, and I am worried that I will offend the Dragon King and cause the river to overflow."

"However, judging from the current situation, the current public reaction is to praise Fu Yin Yingming, and the vast majority of people support the government. So I guess, if this matter is really deliberately released by the government to test the tone, then the government will A formal announcement will be made soon about the recruitment of various temples and monasteries in Yaguang."
