The sixty-fourth was summoned to the Imperial Palace

During the Qingming Dynasty, there were many believers who went to Xuandu to burn incense and worship God.

In the face of such a grand occasion, the Taoists were more or less in a hurry.

And Qin Ying is no exception, but she loves to be lazy.

As soon as she used the kung fu of sweeping the floor to travel too empty, Qin Ying was caught by the Taoist in charge from the front hall, who did not respect Qin Ying like others, and only treated her as an ordinary Taoist child.

He inadvertently bumped into Qin Ying being lazy, and after a brief mention, he asked her to go to the Sanqing Hall to help count the incense and candle money.

The Taoists in the temple are not immortals, they still have to dress and eat honestly. A large part of this daily expense comes from the money from incense and candles.

For a large-scale Taoist temple such as Xuandu Temple, the monthly offerings to the imperial court are not enough to maintain turnover, so incense and candle money is an indispensable source of money.

Qin Ying had already counted the incense and candle money a few times ago for the Taoist in charge, and she would not be at a loss when she started today, she immediately straightened her color and went to the Sanqing Palace.

Anyway, she is eating and drinking for nothing in the view, and if she doesn't do anything, she will really become a rice worm.

"--Qin Ying, you came just in time." The Taoist who was standing in front of the merit box of the Sanqing Hall and counting the money smiled when he saw Qin Ying's short head of less than six feet coming over.

Qin Ying relied on the "advantage" of his short height to pass through the bustling flow of people and squeeze to the merit box. She raised her head, her eyes wandered around the crowded hall, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, today's battle seemed to be even more exaggerated than the days at the beginning of the first month.

"You're the only one collecting money here?" Qin Ying smacked his lips and said, counting the money in his hand for a moment.

The Taoist said with a long face of sorrow: "The senior brothers are all in the side hall to open the altar and overdrive, and they can't leave for a while, so they push the things in the Sanqing Hall on my head." But I, but I'm still an idiot. ”

She sighed when she heard this: "You and I can barely hold on to the scene first." "Skillfully arrange the money on the table of the small number, string each hundred pieces into half a piece of money, and then put it in the merit box.

The incense candles of Xuanduguan are very cheap, or the copper plate in the Zhenguan period is very valuable, a high incense or a lamp candle only needs three Wen, and Sanwen is just the price of rice at the beginning of spring this year, and ordinary people can afford Sanwen money.

It is also a cost-effective thing to ask for the ancestors and relatives to be safe and prosperous with Sanqing.

There is no Taoist in the hall to take care of the incense candles, and the neatly placed incense candles are listed on a case, and the believers can take them away after paying the money.

Qin Ying had been counting the money for a long time, and her brain was a little dizzy. The hand holding the braided rope was loosened, and she got up and went to the back of the hall to get a glass of water to drink, extinguishing the anxiety that was gradually rising.

Leaving the empty cup in its place, she continued to work tirelessly.

In less than an hour, the senior brothers in the mouth of the Taoist returned one after another, and Qin Ying became a big idler watching from the wall.

"You guys were pretty efficient." A senior brother opened the merit box, hastily clicked on the amount of money that had been skewered, and clapped his hands in admiration.

The idiot shook his head and said, "Basically, it's all done by Qin Ying." The senior brothers looked at Qin Ying with a little more admiration.

"Where, where." Qin Ying snorted a dry haha, trying to perfunctory the past.

A human figure seemed to put his hand on Qin Ying's shoulders intimately and joked to her: "Qin Ying, do you kid do everything that is much better than others?" ”

Qin Ying broke free of his arm without leaving a trace, bent his eyebrows and smiled: "Isn't there a sentence in the book called too much." She laughed at herself with the old saying, erasing the thoughts of some Taoists.

After speaking, Qin Ying didn't talk much, lowered his head and bowed slightly, and left the hall.

She doesn't ask for credit after she finishes things, but just abides by the Taoist "invisibility and retreat of fame and fame", hiding herself under one big or small thing after another.

The whole country takes a three-day vacation during the Qingming Festival, but what Qin Ying has done in the past three days is more complicated than the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, she is like a convenient and easy-to-use gray patch, where there is a need, she will make up for it.

After the Qingming Festival, Qin Ying returned to the state of rice worms eating and drinking. The viewer did not say anything about this, and the person in charge of the Tao also turned a blind eye and indulged her in the inaction of the contemplation.

But the peaceful good days did not last long.

Early one morning, Gonggong An took the edict and found the door of Xuandu Temple: "Taoist Qin Ying is not here?" ”

There are many people who have seen the little road children who answer the door, and now they are not surprised by the visitors who are dressed plainly and luxuriously. A boy with a bun calmly led Gonggong An into the gate, and the other summoned Qin Ying to the side hall of the Sanqing Palace.

In the left side hall of the Sanqing Palace, it is a place for ordinary Taoists to meet visitors, and the small room that Qin Ying went to before is just a reception room dedicated to the master.

"You may be seated first." The boy pulled over the mat and laid it out, and said after saluting respectfully.

Gonggong An shook his head with a smile: "Our family is here to announce the decree to Taoist Qin Ying, and we can't sit." ”

The boy's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he suddenly didn't know how to respond. Although he knew that Qin Ying, who was about the height of the box, was a very powerful Taoist, how could Qin Ying, who was outside the square, have a relationship with the Holy Decree? The boy wanted to stay here and peek at it.

Qin Ying pushed open the door of the hall and knew his intention the moment he saw Gonggong An.

-- Sure enough, it's coming. She smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart.

"Taoist priest Qin Ying took the order." The eunuch's characteristic shrill voice was vividly displayed at this moment.

She knelt down five steps away from Gonggong An, her hands held up, and waited for the edict with the same content as in her previous life.

"Taoist priest Qin Ying, Du Mu led in Yizhou Chengdu Mansion Qingyang Shop, young and sensitive, young and wise. It happened that the prince of the East Palace was lying down, and the decoction could not get better, so I could only ask for outsiders. The special Taoist priest Qin Ying entered the palace to pray for the prince. ”

After reading it, Gonggong An looked at Qin Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, and waited for her reaction.

In his imagination, Qin Ying may have cried with joy or feared after hearing this. However, Qin Ying in front of him just kowtowed three times with a calm face, and took the golden thin silk edict from his hand.

The two little Taoist boys who were watching were completely stupid.

…… Today, His Majesty actually wants to edict Qin Ying to enter the palace to pray for the prince? There are so many Taoists in Chang'an City, why did His Majesty find Qin Ying? Qin Ying is just a child as tall as herself, why did she fall into the eyes of His Majesty?

They silently envy and greedy, but a good suzhì makes them not put their feelings on their faces.

"When does the trail start?" When the two children left the side hall of the Sanqing Palace, Qin Ying asked.

Gonggong An restrained the smile lines on his face, and said sternly: "The sooner the better."

Qin Ying paused, and then asked: "It is written in the edict that the prince is lying down, is it very strict?" ”

"You'll find out when you go." He said.
