Seeing that the middle-aged Taoist was loose, Nanfeng hurriedly followed, "I can do anything, I can do all the work on the stove such as chopping wood and making fires, and I can do errands." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After Nanfeng finished speaking, the middle-aged Taoist tilted his head and groaned, but did not answer immediately.

"I'm bold, and I can do it even if I wake him up. I'm not afraid of getting dirty, and I can do it by digging out the manure and emptying the bucket. The south wind added again.

The middle-aged Taoist tilted his head and glanced at him, wanting to say something but didn't say anything.

"Dao Chief, I came from the north, and I almost died on the road several times, you see, just a few days ago, I was bitten by poisonous insects. Nanfeng raised his right hand.

"I already saw it when you were eating before," the middle-aged Taoist nodded, "You really came here alone?"

When Nanfeng heard this, he immediately understood that the middle-aged Taoist was tracking down his origin, and nodded again and again, "It's just me, I crossed the river on ice more than a month ago, and I met a water monster, and a short Taoist happened to pass by there, and the Taoist jumped into the water to kill the water monster, and saved many people, and he also saw me at that time, only myself." ”

"What you met must be Senior Brother Apocalypse," the middle-aged Taoist nodded and asked again, "What are you looking for Uncle Xuanzhen?"

Since the middle-aged Taoist asked him if he came alone, Nanfeng knew that the middle-aged Taoist would ask this question sooner or later, and he was not sure of his identity and origin, and the middle-aged Taoist would not leave him in the Taiqing Sect. Because I was prepared, I answered quickly, "My name is Nanfeng, I was a flower in Chang'an City, and my companions lived in the Xicheng Land Temple, we committed a crime, the government wanted to arrest us, I was blocked in the temple, at that time there was a blind man in the temple to shelter from the rain, and I don't know what spell he used, those people who entered the temple couldn't see me, I escaped, and afterwards he gave me some silver taels, and asked me to go to Taiqing Sect to send a message to Xuan Zhenren." ”

The middle-aged Taoist's face changed greatly when he heard this, "How old is that blind man?"

"In his fifties. Nanfeng said.

"More than fifty years old?" the middle-aged Taoist looked puzzled, "Is he blinded, or does he have no eyes?"

Nanfeng knew what the middle-aged Daoist wanted to be sure, "He doesn't have eyes. ”

"When did you meet him?" the middle-aged Taoist asked eagerly.

"The days when the puja was held in Chang'an. Nanfeng replied that ninety percent of what he said before was true, but it only tampered with the most important link.

"Little Master...... What message did the blind man ask you to bring, can you tell me about it?" the middle-aged Taoist asked.

"There's a black dog at the Eastside Inn. Nanfeng said.

The middle-aged Taoist looked puzzled when he heard this, "What else did the blind man say?"

Nanfeng shook his head, "He's in a hurry, that's all." ”

The middle-aged Taoist pondered for a long time, and said, "Don't tell others about this matter, if you don't work hard, just stay on the mountain, stay until September next year, if you can pass the three questions and six exams, you can worship Taiqing." ”

"Thank you, thank you, chief. Nanfeng thanked him repeatedly.

"What's going on?" the middle-aged Taoist said, pointing to the burden containing the bones.

"If I pick it up halfway, others will not come to beat me because they think it is unlucky. Nanfeng said.

The middle-aged Taoist sighed, "It's hard for you." ”

Nanfeng turned around and ran back to where he came, threw the burden into the woods, and was about to go up the mountain with the middle-aged Taoist with the blanket on his back.

"The violent corpse is disrespectful to the deceased, bury it," the middle-aged Taoist turned and walked north, "You go and bury it, I will wait for you from the bottom of the mountain, and don't take the futon up the mountain." ”

Nanfeng originally wanted to go back and find a chance to get the tortoise shell again, but when he saw the middle-aged Taoist say this, he immediately said yes, ran back to pick up the burden, and entered the east woods.

After walking a long way into the woods, Nanfeng threw away the bedding and took out a shallow pit to bury the bones, and on the way back he found a crack in the stone to shelter from the rain, took out the deerskin from his clothes, wrapped the tortoise shell and deerskin in the oil paper left over from eating the buns, and stuffed them into the cracks in the stones.

Out of the woods, the south wind trotted through the yin and yang square, and came to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain.

The middle-aged Taoist was talking to a Zhike Taoist at this time, and when he saw the south wind coming, he pointed to the south wind and said to the Zhike Taoist, "It's him." ”

"Uncle Shi, you go back first, and I'll send him up. "Zhike Taoist is in his early thirties, with a round face and big eyes, and he looks very happy.

The middle-aged Taoist nodded, and said to the south wind, "At the moment, it seems that there is no shortage of manpower in the canteen, so I can only wronged you to do some chores, so that you can work hard, and don't be right or wrong." ”

"Thank you, Chief. Nanfeng bent down and thanked him.

The round-faced Zhike Taoist interjected on the side, "I don't understand the rules, Uncle Tianchengzi is a senior assistant of the lower and the palace, and he should be honored as a master." ”

Tianchengzi waved his hand, "He is new to the city, where does he know so much, don't blame him." After that, he said to the south wind, "You can go with Lingxi Dao Chief." ”

Nanfeng thanked him again, and Tianchengzi turned around and walked up the stairs.

Rekiko waved her hand at Nanfeng in disgust, "Let's go." ”

The south wind hurriedly answered and stepped up the steps.

"Is that what you walked, take the path!" Reikiko raised her voice.

When Nanfeng heard this, he quickly retreated and followed behind Lingxizi, although Lingxizi had a happy face, he was not as kind as Tianchengzi, and his attitude was very arrogant.

This Lingxizi is a knowledgeable person, introducing the Taiqing Sect to the pilgrims is his daily homework, speaking with precise words, clear organization, first self-praise, what Taiqing Sect is the state religion of Liang State, the real person in charge of the sect is the real person who protects the country of Liang State, and how many immortals have been born in the history of Taiqing Sect.

After saying this, I also talked about the specific situation of the Taiqing Sect, this is only the ancestral court of the Taiqing Sect, and there are many small sects belonging to the Taiqing Sect scattered all over the country. The ancestral court of the Taiqing Dynasty has 5,200 Taoist priests, 810 Taoist children, about 600 servants, and countless good believers who enter incense every day. On the mountain, there is one Sanqing hall, one Taiqing hall, five Taoist temples, three other courtyards, and there are more than 2,000 large and small rooms.

The people who live on the mountain belong to the seven halls, which are the Upper Xuan Palace, the Zhongwei Palace, the Lower Peace Palace, the Law Inspection Palace, the Collection Palace, the Rite and Music Palace, and the Lay Affairs Palace.

The status of the Shangxuan Hall is the highest, and the inside are all purple qi real people who have survived the catastrophe and advanced to the mountain cultivation level, and there are thirty-seven purple qi masters in the Shangxuan Hall at this time.

Zhongwei Hall is the second most important, and there are all those who have achieved cultivation and advanced to the level of Cave Xuan cultivation and above the blue qi masters, and there are about 1,200 of these people.

The status of the lower and lower halls is a little lower, and the Taoist priests who are promoted to the following levels, as well as those Taoist children who have not been conferred, are all under the supervision of the lower and lower halls. The lower temple had the largest number of people, four or five thousand.

The Vinaya is responsible for supervising the observance of the precepts and mountain rules, and the number is not large, only one hundred and ten.

The collection hall is in charge of the scriptures and classics of the Taiqing Sect, and the Taoists are also responsible for inspecting and teaching the scriptures of the various parts of the Taoist, and the people living in the collection hall are basically the elderly.

The Rite and Music Hall is responsible for the sacrifice to the heavens, the planning of various ceremonies and the performance of music, and the number of people is not much, but not more than 100.

As the name suggests, the secular hall is to deal with mundane affairs, and a small number of Taoist priests are in charge of 600 miscellaneous servants, who are responsible for the living conditions of seven or eight thousand people on the mountain, as well as the cleaning and cleaning of the environment.

Each of the seven temples has a presiding officer, two auxiliary ministers, and a number of ministries.

After talking about the situation in the mountains, Ling Xizi began to talk about the rules again, Taiqing Sect has a cross generation, Lingxu Qing is upright, and Changping Yi Xuantian.

Taoist priests have generations at the beginning, and currently pass on to the Lingzi generation, Taiqing Taoist priests can retain their surnames, take the seniority, suffix common name, this Zhike Taoist layman is called Liu Tianxi, after entering the Taoist gate, it was changed to Liu Lingxi, also known as Lingxizi.

There are many rules in the mountains, and many of them can't be remembered, only some important ones are remembered, such as obeying the call, men and women can't talk casually, servants can't talk casually to Taoist priests, they can't enter the Taoist priest's living area without permission, and servants can't take the main road, if they meet Taoist priests, they must call 'Taoist chief, mage, real person' and bow their heads to make way.

Because he had been reprimanded by Ling Xizi by looking left and right, Nanfeng didn't dare to look around, but just lowered his head and followed Ling Xizi ten steps away, and he couldn't go fast, Ling Xizi thought that he smelled bad.

After a stick of incense, there is a very large courtyard in front, which is located on the western slope of Taiqing Mountain, the courtyard is very large, and there are many rooms, and there are few laymen wearing blue cloth coats.

Nanfeng learned from Ling Xizi's narration that Zhike Daoren also belonged to the secular palace, so he moved his mind, looked around at no one on the left and right, took out the two taels of silver from his arms, ran over and stuffed it to Ling Xizi, "Dao Chief, I must remember what you said, this was given to me by a kind person on the road, such a poisonous sun, you have walked such a long way, you really don't want to go, it is not a respect, you can buy some wine to eat." ”

Ling Xizi didn't expect Nanfeng to come out like this, looked at the silver in his hand, and then looked at Nanfeng, stunned and didn't speak.

Nanfeng said again, "I have memorized all your teachings, talk less and do more. ”

Ling Xizi was still worried that Nanfeng would be talkative, but when he said this, she put her mind at ease, "Okay, it's hard for you to have a heart, if I refuse, I will look down on you, then I will accept it." ”

"Thank you, Chief. Nanfeng bowed his head and thanked him, he grew up in the market and saw a lot of people and worldliness.

Gift-giving is the most direct and effective way to make friends, and after receiving the money, Lingxizi no longer played an official tone, not only spoke a lot more kindly, but also asked him about his name and age.

After a while, the two came to the gate of the courtyard, where the servants lived, and after entering the door, Ling Xizi called a secular minister, only saying that Nanfeng was his fellow countryman, and asked the man to arrange a job for Nanfeng.

The ministry himself was not a Taoist priest, and he was very respectful to Lingxizi, and when he heard him say this, he immediately took out the roster and arranged a job for Nanfeng, but there was no vacancy, only an old man who poured the toilet died a few days ago.

Nanfeng heard the two talking from a distance, and secretly complained, he said that digging out the feces and emptying the toilet was just talking, but in fact he was very reluctant to do this work.

Ling Xizi also seems to feel that it is not appropriate to take Nanfeng's silver and then let Nanfeng pour the toilet, but turning it over, there is really no vacancy, and many jobs are fixed and done, even if you pull others down and stuff Nanfeng into it, Nanfeng can't do it.

Seeing Ling Xizi's appearance, the secular ministry guessed that he had a very close relationship with Nanfeng, so he sent a great favor, "Dao Chief, I think that little boy is very clever, so let's take care of the mule and cart with him." ”

"Is it appropriate?" Reiko asked rhetorically.

"If you say it's right, it's right. The secular ministry laughed.

Reikiko turned to look at Nanfeng, "Will you catch the car?"

"Yes. Nanfeng nodded hurriedly.

"Then it will be done, even if you have edification, Sun will exalt you, have a good job with you, and you will lead people to dump the commode from tomorrow. "Lingxizi has the final word.

Nanfeng thought it was a car, but he didn't expect to end up emptying the toilet, but he dared to say that he couldn't do it, so he could only thank him.

Before leaving, Ling Xizi whispered, "There are eight people in a mule cart, you just have to drive the cart and tell them to do it." ”

Nanfeng had to thank him again.

Lingxizi went happily, and the Sun minister frowned and looked at him, "How long has it been since you took a bath, so sour?"

Seeing that Sun Ministry's tone was wrong, Nanfeng hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed all the remaining dozen copper coins in his arms, and bribed again.

Seeing that Nanfeng was so sensible, Sun Shishi also liked him, took a set of clean clothes to him, and ordered someone to take him to the backyard to take a bath......
