Chapter 8 Qingyang County Incense Master
The altar owner narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Two boys, how old are you?" β
The man replied, "Back to the altar master, two boys, one is sixteen or seventeen years old, and the other is fourteen or fifteen years old. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The altar master nodded, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Forgive those two boys, how can they be the opponents of my Moon Worship Sect disciples, there must be some other adventures, it's just that this sect is now the time to employ people, so the Qingyang County Incense Lord accepted them." β
The visitor nodded, but there was still a little hesitation on his face, as if he had something to say, and in the end, he still said: "Don't dare to hide the altar master, those two boys speak with a southern accent." β
"Poof!"
As soon as the altar owner took a sip of tea, he heard what the person said, and suddenly squirted out, and said, "Good boy, from the south?" According to this altar, this matter is not simple, but it's okay, you go back and ask Qingyang County to test these two boys, don't be anything detailed, if not, hum, maybe there will be a time to use it. β
"Whoa!"
When the people left, the altar owner stood up, his eyes were fierce, and he said: "Pingyang County Shou has repeatedly opposed this altar, and now the king of Jin wants him to collect 3,000 loads of grain and grass within a month to fund the army." How can this altar give him his wish? You can order the disciples in the sect to buy grain and grass everywhere, but you can't rob it openly, do you hear? β
All the hall masters in the altar all bowed their heads and obeyed the order, and said in unison: "Oh! β
Lunatic worship Qingyang County Branch.
Yang Erlang and Goudan had been waiting in the side hall for two or three days, and as soon as they asked the location of the branch hall, they rushed over, and they didn't even have time to turn around the county seat.
"What kind of moon worship, I don't think it's any different from the official yamen of Luofu Kingdom, it's procrastinating."
Goudan waited a little impatiently, and muttered dissatisfiedly, when he was still in Luofu, he once followed his father to the county town to run errands, and he encountered many troubles.
Yang Erlang shook his head and said, "It's all people doing things, what's the difference?" If you speak little, if you are heard, you will be worthy, and I will not tell you any statutes here. Statutes, sometimes they limit you, but they also protect you. β
The two boys were talking and talking, when they suddenly saw someone come in, and the man said, "The incense lord summoned you two to meet me." β
"Thank you!"
The two hugged their fists.
The courtyard of the Qingyang County Branch Hall is quite simple, not as luxurious as imagined, at least in the eyes of the dog, even his home is not as good, I think it is a ruthless war, and everyone does not dare to build a good house, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy.
The incense lord of Qingyang County is an old man with a goatee who is over the age of six, and when he saw the two of them entering the courtyard, he smiled and said: "You two are in the next life, are you sincerely coming to my moon worship sect?" β
Yang Erlang pulled the dog's clothes, made a gesture, and said: "Lord Huixiang, my brother and I have admired the Lunatic Cult for a long time, and I am willing to join the Lunatic Cult." β
The old man of the incense lord nodded, touched his beard, and said slowly: "Well, the Lunatic Worship Sect is the state religion of the Great Xia Dynasty, and this religion aims to save the people from fire and water, and save the souls from hanging upside down. β
Yang Erlang and Goudan nodded inexplicably, and said again and again: "The incense lord is very right. β
The old man of the incense lord said: "As for the review of the Moon Worship Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty, there will be information that will be sent to you later, you go to change your body first, and the initiation ceremony will be held in a few days, these days, you can first familiarize yourself with the environment in the county, but don't make any mistakes." β
"Yes!"
Yang Erlang replied.
Who knew that the old man's face changed, and he said, "What is it?" In the north, you have to shout, you have to listen. And don't bring the tunes of your south to our north. β
"This!" Yang Erlang was a little puzzled and asked: "The south and the north are no different from the race, besides, the Great Xia Dynasty has been in war for a long time, and the common people have long longed for unification and freedom from the suffering of war. β
After hearing this, the old man of the incense lord looked angry, twisted Yang Erlang's collar, and sneered: "Boy, the skill of speaking is not bad, but there are not so many whys in this world, this hall will tell you, the world is not chaotic, how can the teaching be prosperous?" You're still a little tender, do a good job for this hall, otherwise, hum! β
After that, he threw Yang Erlang away.
"Whoa!"
Yang Erlang pretended to be flustered and replied, he categorically didn't expect that the strength of the old man in front of him who was over sixty years old was on par with him, if he hadn't sent someone to the fence temporarily, he didn't want to make trouble, and he couldn't really have to fight with the other party.
The dog on the side didn't expect the old man in front of him to be so powerful, so he casually twisted his brother Erlang like a chicken, and he couldn't stop nodding his head.
When Yang Erlang and the dog retreated, the old man stroked his beard, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he said to himself: "This church still thinks that there is something different between the two boys from the south, but in fact, it is nothing more than that, but since you have come to my Moon Worship Sect, you have to discipline and discipline it well." β
There is no difference between the jurisdiction of Qingyang County and the county seat under the jurisdiction of Luofu State, but the population economy is much worse than that in the south, and the population of the county seat is only one or two hundred thousand.
"Brother Erlang, I haven't had time to read the Lunatic Sect overview, but Pingyang County is also located in the Central Plains, with a population of only more than one million, which is much worse than Linbei Mansion."
The two were chatting while walking on the streets of the county seat, and Yang Erlang was still thinking about the old man of the incense master, and he didn't care about reading, so the matter fell on the dog.
Yang Erlang nodded and said: "After all, after a long war, five or six out of ten men have gone to the battlefield, which is still adjacent to Jinling, which is relatively remote, which is good." And if you enter the Lunatic Cult, you can be exempted from military service and conscription, but the Lunatic Cult does not accept people when they see them. By the way, have you read some information about the Great Xia Dynasty, such as the distribution of forces and the like. β
Goudan was interested in this knowledge, so he waited for Yang Erlang to ask him, and then he quickly nodded and said: "Of course, the Great Xia Dynasty is divided into five vassal states, namely Liao, Jin, Qi, Qin, Yan, and the number of the four provinces of our Luofu Kingdom combined, just nine, which is exactly the number of Kyushu." And the Great Xia Dynasty currently has only one city, and that is the royal city of Dongluo. β
After hearing this, Yang Erlang sighed: "The territory of a vassal state in the Great Xia Dynasty is about the same size as a province in the Luofu Kingdom, but according to the population ratio of Pingyang County, I am afraid that it is still larger in the south, and it is much stronger overall. β
After hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Brother Erlang, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, although the population of the south is twice that of the north, but because of the perennial war, everyone practices martial arts, and there are ......"
He pulled Yang Erlang aside, looked mysterious, and said in his ear: "Brother Erlang, have you heard of cultivators?" β
"Cultivator!"
After hearing this, Yang Erlang's body suddenly stagnated, he never thought that there were really cultivators in this world.
Goudan continued to add: "Yes, it's not in the north, I don't know, the members of the Lunatic Sect, as well as the children of the royal family and the people of the various clans, are basically cultivators, and in the south, only officials who are above the seventh rank can practice, it turns out that the prefect of Chen is also a Confucian cultivator." β
