The twelfth early Tang Dynasty was looking for nationality

Lao Dao, who was the first to sell things to her, smiled and said, "It's a good place to go in the east of the county." A new land temple was built there. It's just a meal's walk away. I'm going to spend the night there, so please come with me. ”

The middle-aged man snorted and craned his neck to leave Qin Ying's field of vision.

The old man knew that she was a little weak, so he deliberately slowed down his pace when he walked with her. So it took them an extra moment to get to the Land Temple.

The statues in the land temple are ten percent new, and the colored pastel and lacquer decorations are very vivid.

Qin Ying was a little sleepy. So I didn't look too much, and directly looked for an open space where I could play a sleeper.

Generally speaking, the land temple fair at night is more lively than during the day. Because homeless homeless beggars spend the night here.

They went late, and the good spot was almost occupied.

Qin Ying picked a relatively comfortable place to sit down, and the old Mai Daoist followed her to sit cross-legged.

"Thank you for leading the way, dare to ask your surname?" Qin Ying squinted his eyes for a while, and then said.

"The surname is Yuan. People here call me Yuan sloppy. The old man said pretending to be chic.

“… Hahahaha. Qin Ying laughed loudly for a long time before realizing his gaffe, "I'm sorry, the kid shouldn't have been like this just now." ”

It was late at night, and the two didn't talk much more.

Laying out the cloth with the wrapping and pressing it under him, Qin Ying curled up and fell asleep.

Yuan Laodao didn't lie down, he stared at Qin Ying with blazing eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "...... Finally found the person whose destiny was facing the swaggering star. ”

In the middle of summer this year, he looked up at the sky. I saw that the swaggering star was unusually bright, and it was faintly shining red.

The swagger star is located at the end of the dipper and is the last of the seven stars. It means "an enemy with contradictions in hand". However, the contradiction can be auspicious and vicious. The variables in this are simply unpredictable.

In shamanism a long time ago, it also had a name - Broken Army.

Astronomy and geography are linked to personal fortunes and national fortunes. No one can say which of these three is cause and effect.

He sighed and said, "Do you know that you will affect Li Tang Yijiazi's luck. You can be a blessing to the nation or a curse. ”

Qin Ying didn't know it, she was sleeping soundly with her cloth clothes in her arms.

The next day, Qin Ying got up early.

Putting away the burden and carrying it on his back, Qin Ying went out of the Land Temple. He went to the willow tree by the side of the road, broke a branch with frost and dew, and pressed one end with his fingers and put it in his mouth.

My sister once said to herself that willow branches dipped in bamboo salt can clean your teeth.

Qin Ying was most impatient with these exquisiteness in the past. However, when she is alone, she always remembers her sister's advice, so she does it.

- Now that I have scarce materials in my hands, I can make do with it without salt.

Qin Ying, who was holding a willow branch, thought blankly.

Yuan Laodao walked around from the other side of the Land Temple with a water bowl, and when he saw her, he accosted: "Listen to your accent, I'm afraid you're from other places."

"yes." She said briefly, brushing her teeth. ‘

"Didn't you ask the temple last night? Lao Dao knew that there was a green sheep shop in Chengdu Mansion, and countless Taoists were vying to go there. If you're not in a hurry, you can go over there. ”

She pulled out the willow branch, untied the water bladder and drank a sip of cold water, spit it out and said, "It's good, it's good, but I don't know how to go."

"I'll give you a ride." A glint crossed his smiling eyes.

Guan County and Chengdu Prefecture are about 120 miles apart, and the two of them walked unhurriedly, and they arrived at the outskirts of Chengdu Prefecture five days later.

It looks like it's time to see the sky. Even if you rush to the foot of Chengdu Mansion, the city gate is probably closed.

The two discussed it and decided to stay here for one night and enter the city tomorrow morning.

There are no ruined temples in the suburban villages. Qin Ying and the others had no choice but to knock on the door from door to door and ask for a stay.

Strangely, there were no houses to give them a response along the way. Although people standing outside the low wall can see the lights inside.

Qin Ying scratched his head and said in his heart: Are the people of Shu so hospitable?

Suddenly, a sturdy man opened half of the door and said in a Yizhou dialect: "Wait for you to take out the household registration."

Yuan Laodao touched his body in embarrassment: "Unfortunately, it's not a coincidence, I lost the degree sent the year before last." After speaking, he turned his face and asked Qin Ying again, "Do you have a degree with you?" ”

Qin Ying shook her head honestly.

"I don't have a household registration or a degree, how can I prove your identity?" The man glanced at them, then closed the door and pulled the bolt.

Just as he was about to leave, the man's rough voice sounded from behind the door:

"A while ago, the daughter of Chengdu Mansion secretly ran out and spent the night nearby. The next day, a large number of government soldiers searched the county to the bottom. So I don't dare to let people of unknown origin stay overnight, and I hope you don't feel weird. ”

- Feelings, they don't open the door because they are afraid of getting into strange trouble again.

Qin Ying thought as she followed behind Yuan Laodao and said to herself: "Household registration, what is Dumu?"

Although she had carried a forged Taoist priest with her in her previous life, she still didn't know much about its usefulness.

"It's just a thin volume of paper. It has your name and place of origin written on it, and it is also stamped with the official seal of the government. The imperial court could use it to verify people's identities and prevent the homeless from fleeing. ”

Qin Ying pouted and said, "...... Bored. ”

Yuan Laodao smiled: "It's really boring, but it's very effective for consolidating the rule."

That night they sat at the base of the wall, and stayed up until the hour when the gates of the city were opened.

The high gate of Chengdu Mansion is like a mountain, towering in front of you. Yuan Laodao took a step, but was pulled by Qin Ying at the corner of his clothes.

She observed the two groups of officers and soldiers standing by the city gate, and said in a low voice: "Will they check the household registration or degree?"

“…… Gua Wazi, I have a way. He coughed twice and replied in tongues.

If Qin Ying could understand the Yizhou dialect, he would definitely give him a roll of his eyes.

I saw Yuan Laodao walk generously to the city guards and talk to them for a few words. The officers and soldiers at the head bowed to this sloppy old man and respectfully invited them into the Chengdu Mansion.

She looked up adoringly and asked, "What did you just say to them?"

Yuan Laodao, who was walking side by side, squinted his eyes and said, "——Forgive me for being too old and forgetting about it."

Qin Ying secretly gritted his teeth: how do you feel that this person is as unserious as Master Ning Fengzi.

Master Ning Fengzi is a few years old, but he likes to pretend to be tender; And Yuan Laodao is a person who is just over his age, but he likes to sell the old.

Seeing Qin Ying's face change, he explained, "I often go into the city to peddle things. After coming and going, all the officials guarding the city recognized me. ”

That's a half-truth. Yuan Laodao is indeed well-known in Chengdu Mansion, but it is not because of selling peace charms and transferring beads.

After listening to the reasonable words, Qin Yingcai smiled and concentrated on experiencing the customs of Chengdu Mansion.

Chengdu has a history of 1,000 years. Time has given it many old names, among which "Tianfu, Rongcheng, Jincheng" are the most famous. These words praise the prosperity of Chengdu Mansion to the fullest.

As far as the eye can see: the road is wide and crowded. Such a familiar picture reminded Qin Ying of Chang'an City, where she had lived for a long time in her previous life.

After a few turns under the leadership of Yuan Laodao, she quickly noticed the difference between them.

——The pattern of Chang'an City is like a Go board, with longitude and latitude intertwined; The pattern of Chengdu Mansion is like a palindromic poem, with winding paths leading to seclusion.

Thinking of this, she was struck by her own subtle metaphor.

Soon they passed through the street market in the middle of the city. Men, women and children, so lively.

It is worth mentioning that there are many people on the street wearing robes that are different from the Central Plains style, wearing gorgeous and exaggerated neck bracelets, and their bodies have been tinkling when they walk.

"Look there......" Qin Ying stared at them intently.

Yuan Laodao quietly pressed Qin Ying's head: "There are not only people from the Central Plains here, but also Miao people from the south. They can use Gu. Don't look around. ”

She grunted sullenly and looked down at the tips of her shoes.
