I slept until You hour, and when I woke up, I called Da Tou and started on my way.

No one likes to receive gifts, and Datou is no exception. However, he did not confiscate any gifts this time. He just had the official addiction of being a law censor, shouting and drinking, speaking righteously, and making himself look like a selfless and honest official.

.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Big Tou’s approach. Officials have to look like officials. It’s not very nice to be bossy and arrogant, but it’s different from some officials who like to sensationalize and engage in private interviews without doing their job.

In comparison, putting on airs is really not a problem, at least it is very real and not hypocritical.

The two of them stayed in the inn and did not go to the government office or the government office. They just left as they pleased. After simply packing up, the two of them rode out of the city.

"Sir, where are we going?" Datou asked with a yawn.

There was no immediate answer. Tianxian Temple is located in the southeast of here, and Yezhou is in the southwest of Yizhou, so it is not convenient.

After a brief pondering, I decided to go to Tianxian Temple first, because Datou purchased a lot of gifts for Master Fufeng from Chang'an. These gifts were always hung on the horse, which was a burden when he was on the road.

Tianxian Temple is more than 500 miles away from Yizhou. The two of them rode fast and arrived at Tianxian Temple where Fufeng Zhenren was staying during the lantern lighting time.

Tianxian Temple is a Taoist temple of the Taiqing Sect with thousands of years of history and inheritance. The Taoist temple is located in the mountains on the eastern outskirts of Guiren County, Bazhou. It is named Tianxian Temple because a Taoist temple once appeared in it.

Level of deity.

Although Tianxian Temple has a long history, it does not have as many believers as Longhu Mountain. The halls and buildings in the Taoist temple are few and dilapidated, and it is not even a medium-sized Taoist temple. It is relatively small among Taoist temples.

The ancients said that the mountains are not high, and there are immortals who are famous. Although Tianxian Temple is very old, they dare not be careless because the head teacher of Tianxian Temple, Fufeng Zhenren, is close friends with the old Tianshi Zhang Bingyi, who is two generations older than him.

Son.

In terms of the degree of involvement in the world, Taiqing Sect is undoubtedly the most involved in the world among the sects of the Three Qing Dynasties. To put it bluntly, they have more contact with the world. Although this Tianxian Temple is built on a mountain, it is not far from the county seat. Villagers want to come and burn incense.

Worshiping gods is also very convenient.

However, the war was currently in chaos, and not many pilgrims came to burn incense and make wishes. Although there was a dilapidated guest pavilion in front of the mountain, there were no visitors inside. The two dismounted from the mountain, carried their things on their backs, and walked up the mountain.

Compared with Wuxiang Temple, Tianxian Temple looks very shabby. The steps up the mountain from Wuxiang Temple are two feet wide, but the steps up the mountain from Tianxian Temple are only three feet, and they are not paved with neat bluestones, but are made of large and small stones.

Various stone structures

, but because Tianxian Temple has existed for many years, day after day, year after year, the Taoist priests and pilgrims coming and going have trampled the stone steps very smoothly.

There are dense bamboo forests on both sides of the stone steps. It may have rained lightly in the afternoon, the humidity in the mountains is heavy, and the road is also slippery.

At this time, there was smoke rising from the mountainside, and the Taoist priests inside the temple must have been lighting a fire to cook.

Not long after, the two came to the mountainside square. Compared with the square of Wuxiang Temple, the square in front of Tianxian Temple was small and could only be regarded as a relatively flat area. There was a stone altar in the middle of the square, surrounded by a stone altar.

Two mulberry figs are as thick as two arms.

Tianxian Temple has a courtyard wall, the mountain gate is not big, the gate tower is very small, and there is a couplet carved on the bricks on both sides of the mountain gate.

The first couplet is "The Tao runs through the past and present and encompasses the universe."

The second line is "Follow the law and control the ghosts and gods."

The horizontal comment is "Dao Qi will last forever."

The mountain gate was closed, so I knocked on the door. After a while, the courtyard door was opened, and an eleven or twelve-year-old Taoist boy poked his head out and said, "Infinite Lord, it's getting late. You two good people want to burn incense and come back tomorrow."

.”

He did not wear Taoist robes for this trip, so he did not bow his head in return. Instead, he raised his hands and said, "Little Taoist Master, we are from the capital. We have something to ask for and see Master Fufeng."

Hearing the words, the little Taoist boy looked at the two of them again. Life is not easy for anyone these days. Seeing the big head carrying large and small packages of gifts, the little Taoist boy couldn't help but be moved, but after hesitation, he still shook his head and said, "Two good people.

Having come all the way, I shouldn’t have turned you away, but tonight is indeed not the right time. You two should go down the mountain early and come back early tomorrow morning.”

After sleeping in the afternoon, he was not willing to waste a night, so he said again, "Little Taoist Master, I will tell you the truth. I am a Taoist from Longhu Mountain. Now that I am in the court, I have never worn Taoist robes. I have paid tribute to Master Fufeng and Master Fufeng."

We, Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain, are close friends, and I came here under the guidance of the abbot of Longhu Mountain to seek advice from the mountain. I also asked the Taoist priest to inform me that we will not stay too long.

He will leave in half an hour at most."

After saying this, the little Taoist boy looked troubled, "Since I am a fellow Taoist, I should go and report it. However, the headmaster told me during the day that there will be no guests tonight. What should I do?"

Seeing the expression on the little Taoist boy's face, he began to wonder if Master Fufeng had expected that the two of them were coming.

I deliberately avoided seeing him for some reason.

At this moment, an old man wearing a raincoat appeared on the path to the west of the Taoist temple, holding a straw rope with two carp on it.

The moment he saw this person, he suddenly frowned. He didn't know this old man in a raincoat, but this person gave him a very strange feeling. As the person got closer, the numbness in his scalp became stronger.

If you have doubts in your heart, you will secretly pinch your fingers, recite the mantra silently, and open the Yin and Yang Eyes.

When the eyes of heaven were opened, clues were indeed discovered. The old man in coir raincoat was actually a human being of a different species, and his true body was a yellow-haired monkey.

Knowing that aliens with Tao Xing can transform into human forms, the rat spirit they met at the inn before fell into this category. When he was trapped in Yizhuang, the old master also saw aliens hiding among the people who besieged him, but at that time he

I don't know Taoism, so I can't see any clues.

The old man in coir raincoat approached leisurely. When the little Taoist boy saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him, "Master Huang, you're here, hurry up. My master has been waiting for you for a long time."

The old man in coir raincoat responded with a smile. Seeing the two men standing at the door blocking the old man in coir raincoat, the little Taoist boy hurriedly waved his hand to chase away the guests, "The master will not see guests tonight, so you should leave quickly."

The purpose of coming here this time is to ask Master Fufeng for advice on Nilin. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any complications, but he has just moved out of Lao Tianshi, but the little Taoist boy doesn't buy it, and is very enthusiastic about an alien who has become a spirit.

, which made him secretly angry and dissatisfied.

But after all, he is a guest of the mountain, so it is not convenient for him to be rude and angry.

The big head on the side noticed something strange in his expression, raised his head eagerly, and observed his words.

Seeing Da Tou staring at him, he glanced at the carp held by the old man in coir raincoat, intentionally or unintentionally. He couldn't find a way to attack, and Da Tou could only be the bad guy.

Da Tou understood this and immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, shouting sternly, "You are so bold and cunning, you dare to blatantly violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Do you know your crime?!"

Datou suddenly turned his back, frightening the little Taoist boy and the old man in coir raincoat, but they quickly regained their composure. The little Taoist boy showed displeasure, while the old man in coir raincoat looked at Big Tou with a smile.

"Okay, stop being so serious and let's go." Pretending to be a good person.

"Sir, you are the imperial censor, who is in charge of the imperial censor's station and supervises the criminal laws of the world." The big head pointed at the carp and spoke sternly. "You should know that according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, catching carp is a serious crime of bullying the emperor, and he should be punished with a heavy staff of sixty. This person

Not only did he catch carp, but he also caught two, so he should be investigated and severely punished."

What leader wouldn't like a subordinate who is both smart and willing to take the blame? Hearing the big head's words, the little Taoist boy and the old man in coir raincoat were stunned. They did not expect that such a young man would be the censor overseeing the criminal law.

After finishing speaking, Datou put down the various gifts he was carrying, and took out his imperial censor's official seal from his waist, showing it to the old man in coir raincoat, "I am the supervisory censor of the Yushitai. You will immediately follow me to the county government office to receive your punishment."

.”

"Those who don't know are not guilty," the red-faced man continued, "This person is a guest of Tianxian Temple. How can we arrest him in front of Tianxian Temple? Besides, this old man has a good background and is not under the control of our government."

Hearing the words, the expression of the old man in coir raincoat changed drastically. From what he said, it was obvious that he had discovered that he was not a human being.

Big Tou didn't care about that, he stepped forward to take someone, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him. In fact, he didn't need to activate the spiritual energy at all, but deliberately used a little spiritual energy to reveal his dark blue complexion.

Seeing his complexion, the old man in the coir raincoat was very afraid. Faced with the big head pull, he did not fight back, but just dodged in embarrassment.

Although Xiao Daotong was young, he also knew that Datou suddenly became angry because he was shut out. Seeing that things were out of control, he had no choice but to shout loudly, "Brother, there are officials who want to arrest the second master."

In fact, before he shouted, the people in the Taoist temple had already heard the noise coming from the door. After the little Taoist boy shouted, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple quickly ran out.

A total of five or six Taoists came out this time, the younger ones were in their twenties, and the older ones were in their early fifties. The Tianxian Temple is not big, and these Taoists must be the only ones in the Taoist temple.

Seeing them coming out, the little Taoist boy hurriedly explained the reason to them. When everyone saw the gift that Big Tou put in front of the door, and then heard the little Taoist boy's story, they immediately guessed the real reason why Big Tou was angry, and immediately put on a smile and tried to persuade him to make peace.

The big head sang with a black face and said nothing. He didn't care what others said, but he insisted on dragging the old man in coir raincoat to the county government office to collect his guilt.

The noise in front of the mountain gate finally alerted Master Fufeng, but he did not go out. Instead, he spoke from inside the temple, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, come in, come in."

Hearing the sound from the air, he winked at Datou, who understood, and then let go of the old man in coir raincoat, "Since you are a guest of Tianxian Temple, I will spare you this time, otherwise I will definitely hold you accountable."
