Chapter 528 Taiyi Temple

After finishing preparations overnight, Chen Xu got up early the next morning and took a bus out, saying that he would go to work at the Academy of Sciences, but soon he abandoned his carriage and rode around a few streets to a yard.

Yu Wuya, Wang San, Four, Wu Wu and Qi and others had been waiting for a long time. Everyone was wearing a new or old thick crepe cloth, and they were wearing straw hats on their heads. Chen Xu also quickly changed into a thick crepe cloth cloth that looked half new and not old, and put on a torn straw hat. In order to hide his face, he also rubbed some of the bottom of the pot on his face. His skin looked no different from that of ordinary civilians.

Wang Sanwang Si and others were originally subordinates of Wang Jian. Since they came to Xianyang, they have returned to Tongwu Hou Mansion. Although they are only a few guards, they have been with Chen Xu for a long time, so they have a very good relationship. Chen Xu never cared about their identities and occasionally invited them to have dinner and drinks. Chen Xu, the sorcerer of Fang Dao, whom he was facing this time, was not very familiar with the situation, so he called them over just in case. After all, the guards trained by Wang Jian were basically no different from the martial arts of ordinary Xuanwu Guards. They were all fierce men who dared to kill tigers, and were stronger than the guard leader of Qinghe Hou Mansion.

Although the newly promoted marquis nobles like Chen Xu seem to be glorious on the surface, they are actually not solid in their foundation. Apart from the emperor's favor, they are basically a bare-headed person. In addition to Yu Wuya, Yingbu and Chen Ping, those around him can rely on, the people from the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion from top to bottom were either given by the emperor or arranged by the Neishi Mansion at the time. Although it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, loyalty that has not been tested by time is unreliable, and there may be something wrong one day.

Then there are various industries and vassals. Chen Xu's industries are now only two, one is Qinghe Park, and another is outside the city. The emperor rewarded several times, real estate and land. These rewards were only a few months or even more than ten days. Chen Xu almost never cared about it. He visited the Qinghe Villa built twice, and now it is almost finished. However, he has never seen the fields and farmers attached to the fields. He even didn't even know what was growing in the field. He left all these to the butler Zhao Lun to manage them. He was just a hand-off manager. As for Chen Jiang, he didn't understand even more. He couldn't manage an illiterate peasant woman.

Therefore, Chen Xu basically had few people who could be assured to be able to use it in the entire Marquis’ Mansion, because these people had been following them for too short a time and their minds could not see them too clearly.

Except for the several core guards sent by the emperor from the Inner Guards, Chen Xu was more at ease, he could only give in. Fortunately, Yu Wuya was still by his side almost all day long.

Wang Sanwang Si and others were warriors who followed Wang Jian to fight on the battlefield, and were loyal to Wang and could die for Wang at any time. However, Chen Xu could not guarantee that his subordinates were so loyal and brave. Even if Yu Wuya was in danger, he could fight for the guards regardless of his life. But if Chen Xu asked him to do something very dangerous for no reason, Yu Wuya would definitely spit on Chen Xu's face, because Yu Wuya was not a loyal and brave slave like Wang Sanwang Si. He had his own thoughts and soul, and could be loyal and repay kindness, but he could not let him die casually. If Chen Xu did this, the relationship between the two would be completely disheartened.

Moreover, Chen Xu always felt that the biggest bond that maintains a good relationship between him and Yu Wuya is not his character, nor is he saving his life at the beginning, but his cooking skills.

Soon the group of people got rid of the matter, checked each other and felt that they could hardly recognize them casually, and began to check the weapons they carried with them.

The old earth gun was controlled by Yu Wuya. After Chen Xu returned to Xianyang, he asked Gongshusheng and Ma Gan to create two more exquisite hand guns for himself, which were lighter.

Chen Xu carefully checked the two hand guns, flint, spring, trigger, fire door and even barrel, and did not dare to miss them at all. After the inspection, he carefully loaded the ammunition and inserted it into the leather hood hanging under his ribs. Just like a gangster in later Hong Kong movies, he could take it out of his arms with his hand.

Yu Wuya hid a short sword in his sleeve, and the pistol was also hung close to his body, so he could get it by lifting the short clothes.

After all the preparations were made together, I waited quietly for about half an hour. The sun gradually rose and the temperature in the early morning also rose slowly.

"Tait ~" A horse rushed over from the alley and entered the yard directly. An imperial guard dressed in an ordinary farmer jumped off the horse and said: "Report to the Marquis, the Empress has set out in a carriage and horse, and the brothers are all dressed up and accompanying you!"

"That's good. You'd better go back and follow the empress. Remember to remind your companions not to follow them too close and reveal their feelings or let outsiders see them!" Chen Xu stood up and said.

"Yes!" The imperial guard who reported the news stepped forward and left quickly.

Chen Xu also turned over and said, "Let's go, we will go outside the city to meet Yingbu in advance. Remember, our target is that old man, and we don't have to pay attention to the others for the time being!"

"Don't worry, as long as the old man appears, he will definitely not be able to escape. There is no place near Xianyang that many of us brothers don't know!" Wang Wu said with a smile.

"The Marquis will put his heart on his belly button for the time being. Except for the palace, we will pull him out even if he goes to heaven and earth!" The three kings and four kings and four all slapped their chests together and made a thump.

Soon a few horses left the small yard and headed straight for the east of Xianyang City, and then came to the city gate amid the crowded crowds. Wang San, who was walking in front, directly showed the sign of Tongwu Hou Mansion, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop him and let him go directly.

On the edge of the Wei River in the east of the city, just where Chen Xu tested his grenades, a considerable Taiyi Temple has been built.

A black basalt stone tablet nearly three meters high stood in the center of the entrance to the Holy Temple. The stone platform below the Holy Temple was filled with incense burners, with incense candles of different thicknesses inside, emitting smoke. A strong smell of incense wafted in the entire Holy Temple. As the river wind blows, it can be smelled for miles.

There were originally several temples in Xianyang City, but the four gods worshipped in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and other strange gods such as rain god, river god, kitchen god, door god, well god, etc. Before Taoism emerged, these gods were still relatively primitive gods, without a unified standard or title, and without a system. The Three Pure Ones and other great gods have basically not appeared yet. Therefore, the people worshipped them very blindly. Anyway, like later generations, they are sincere and will be able to kowtow to the gods worshipped in each temple according to the four seasons to bless their homes and have no worries about food and clothing. This is the best wish.

Taiyi, also known as Donghuang Taiyi, is also called Taiyi or Taiyi. Anyway, this title is quite chaotic.

When Zhuangzi explained Lao Tzu's nature and origin of Tao, he said: "Take the original as essence, things as coarse, and accumulation as insufficient, and live indifferently with the gods. The ancient Taoist arts were in this way, Guan Yin and Lao Dan were pleased with the wind. Establish it to be permanent and non-existent, and the master to be Taiyi."

Therefore, Taiyi originally refers to the universe, both intangible and invisible.

But later the Chu people gave Taiyi a definite image of a god and man to worship, because the relationship between Qin and Chu has always been very complicated, and there were more intermarriages between the royal family and the nobles. As a result, Qin also began to worship Taiyi one after another. Therefore, Taiyi was gradually regarded as a righteous god, and more people worshiped and worshiped by the people.

Since the Taiyi Divine Thunder fell from Wancheng when the First Emperor was traveling southeast, the Taiyi Divine Monument appeared. In order to worship the divine monument, people in Nanyang built a huge Taiyi Temple in Wancheng.

Then Chen Xu, who was widely rumored to be a disciple of the immortal family, came to Xianyang and used the Taiyi Divine Thunder Immortal Art to blow up seven large pits on the Wei River outside the east of Xianyang City. Therefore, the people of Xianyang were not willing to be outdone. They not only built a berth to protect the seven pits, but also erected a Xuanwu stone tablet. As time went by, countless merchants and nobles paid to build a temple covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, and the Taiyi Immortal Lord was worshipped.

The Taiyi Temple has also become the most lively place outside the east gate of Xianyang City. In addition to the hundreds of alchemists and nobles, ordinary people also like to come here to worship sincerely, some seek peace, some seek luck, some seek children and wives, some seek promotion and wealth, and even seek treatment for infertility.

In everyone's heart, since they are gods, they should naturally know everything. The sincerity leads to the metal and stone. Although there are so many people who are asking for it, it would be so busy if the gods are lucky enough to take a look at them. Therefore, since the Taiyi Temple was repaired, there has been a lot of incense and crowds of people, and all kinds of mixed fish and dragons are mixed in it.

When Chen Xu and others arrived, it was already very lively near Taiyi Temple.

Decent people who have status on horseback riding a car, ordinary people carrying loads and baskets, poor farmers who are black and thin, barbecue, roasted crabs, and pancakes. Anyway, the noise of various accents is coming one after another. If the clothes are not simple and simple, Chen Xu must have thought he had walked to that tourist area, and all the people around him were staff and tourists who were wearing makeup in the tourist area.

When he found a secluded place to dismount, the imperial guards were naturally arranged to come to pick him up. Ying Bu was also wearing a half-old coarse linen, carrying a load and a torn hat to greet him, but was stopped by Chen Xu.

"Don't be polite, so as not to be seen!"

"Here!" Ying Bu realized it instantly, then quietly opened the hat and whispered: "Marty, all the fifty imperial guards have been put on makeup and distributed inside and outside the temple. When the wife arrives later, no matter who comes into contact with her, she will be targeted. When she leaves, she will naturally find where she is staying!"
