The two family members in front of the Imperial History Mansion saw that the adult brought back a poor Taoist priest with patches on his clothes, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they bowed their heads and helped Qiu Yinming lead the horse to the backyard, but they inevitably turned around and looked at the Taoist priest a few more times. The butler of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Chai had been waiting for a long time, heard the door ringing, and hurriedly came out of the back hall, and saw from a distance that the adults and a poor Taoist priest were talking and laughing from outside the door, and the smile on his face froze. Qiu Yinming pointed to Chai Ban and said to Wu Wei: "This is my housekeeper, Chai Ban." Wuwei smiled kindly at Steward Chai. Steward Chai replied with some embarrassment: "May I ask my lord, who is this ......?" ”

Qiu Yin saw the doubts in the stomachs of the housekeeper servants early tomorrow morning, and said, "This is my classmate from my hometown, Shangguan Gongzi." Without waiting for Wuwei to have the opportunity to correct the word "childe" to "Taoist", Qiu Yinming immediately continued: "Don't be surprised. Shangguan Gongzi was ordered by his father to pray for his deceased mother, and he became a Taoist priest under the Sanqing Sect for three years, and he was a great filial son. This time, you have traveled thousands of miles to the capital to study, and you must not be lazy. Go to the best tailor shop in the city and make a few sets of civilian clothes for Shangguan Gongzi, be quick. Go in person and give more silver. Steward Chai was stunned, patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes." I'll go right away. Immediately instructed the cook to cook a good dish without mentioning it. Wuwei wanted to say something, but was glared at fiercely by Qiu Yinming, so he had to hold back. Qiu Yinming took him to the study, and after asking someone to serve tea, he carefully closed the doors and windows and breathed a sigh of relief. Wuwei was already a little angry at this time, his eyes widened, and he said loudly to Qiu Yinming: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Qiu Yinming made a small gesture and said, "Wuwei, I really couldn't stand you just now." But you live here as a Taoist priest of unknown origin, and God knows what others will say. I also had no choice but to make this decision. ”

"This ...... What a system this becomes! "Wuwei was speechless for a while. He sat in a chair and turned his head away from speaking.

"Wuwei, I know this is really embarrassing you, but ......" Qiu Yinming said: "I was thinking about what to do along the way just now, and now I have to do this." Along the way, I am afraid it is already clear that the eyes of the world cannot be ignored. ”

Wuwei was silent, the two were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally Wuwei spoke: "Yinming, I was too impulsive just now." It's time for me to think about you. It's just that...... I'm a monk, I put on the clothes of a layman, and I'm always ...... Not good."

Qiu Yinming said: "This is also a temporary grievance against you, if you go elsewhere in the future, you can just put on your Taoist robe again, isn't it?" ”

Wuwei felt that what he said was not unreasonable, so he nodded and said, "At your house, I will listen to you." ”

Qiu Yinming said: "Then you can change my clothes first." After speaking, he got up and went out, and after a while, he brought a set of homely clothes, handed it to Wuwei and said, "I'll wait for you in the dining room." So he took the door and went out.

Wuwei sighed, Qiu Yinming's temper knew best, so he had to take off the Taoist robe that he had worn for many years, put on the scholar's robe, take off the Taoist crown on his head, and put on a soft scarf. There was no mirror in the study, so Wuwei straightened up his clothes and finally mustered up the courage to push the door out.

"Shangguan Gongzi, please come with me."

Wuwei was startled by the maid standing at the door. Seeing that there was no unusual look on the servant's face, he was a little relieved, and said "oh", and followed the servant along the corridor to a square hall at the back of the main hall. On the table are four plates of hot stir-fry, a roast goose, a plate of braised rabbit meat, and a pot of wine. Qiu Yin walked in very uncomfortably when he saw the newly dressed Wuwei, motioned for the servant to step back, and smiled: "It fits well." Come, sit down. He poured a glass of wine for Wuwei.

Wuwei said: "I haven't seen you for three years, you seem to have changed a lot." ”

While the two were eating, Qiu Yinming described how he met his Dongfang brothers and sisters, went to Beijing to take the exam, Jinshi and Di, and governed the river to Wuwei one by one. The meal lasted more than an hour. After being full of wine and food, Wuwei talked about the encounter from Qiongya all the way to Beijing.

It is said that earlier in the year, Wuwei reluctantly bid farewell to the Taoist chief, took a lot of local herbal corals to Yazhou City to exchange for broken silver, took a boat to Haikou first, and then changed ships to Guangzhou Mansion. It was already dark when he went ashore that day, and Wuwei was hungry, so he saw a restaurant that looked quite clean not far away and walked in. When Xiao Er came up to order food, Wuwei realized that he couldn't understand what the people here were saying! After comparing for a long time, Wuwei didn't know what dishes he ordered, but he felt that the shopkeeper smiled a little ill-willedly, and the diners around him also cast curious glances at him. When the dish came up, Wuwei knew that he had been fooled, and it turned out that Xiao Er relied on Wuwei to not understand the local words, so he chose some of the most expensive dishes, abalone, sea cucumber, and conpoy, and there were five or six dishes on it. Wuwei was dumbfounded for a while, so he had to eat it hard, and when he left to pay the bill, Xiao Er pulled a duck's throat and took Wuwei's largest piece of broken silver before he stopped. In the white eyes of the crowd laughing in the heart of Wu Wei knew that this place can not stay for a long time, in a fit of anger overnight to perform light skills to the north of the road for nearly a hundred miles, in a small town called folk music outside the sight of a Taoist temple, it was still early at that time, Wu Wei knocked on the door of the Taoist temple, a long time before a teenage little Taoist priest to open the door, although the language is a little incomprehensible, after all, it is the same door, the little Taoist priest will be Wu Wei invited into the view, arranged a dry and quiet room.

From the comparison of the little Taoist priest, I learned that there was originally only one old Taoist priest and two little apprentices in the Taoist temple, but the old Taoist priest died a few days ago, leaving two little Taoist priests to live on a few acres of thin fields. Wuwei was tired of hurrying, after eating the bread and gruel given by the little Taoist priest, he fell asleep, slept until the afternoon, packed his luggage and prepared to go on the road tomorrow, when he heard the noise outside. Wu Wei walked to the gate of the temple and saw that a group of people of all ages gathered at the gate of the view and said something to the two little Taoist priests, and Wu Wei couldn't understand it. But it looks like something big is happening.

A man who was dressed more elegantly and looked like a squire was begging the two little Taoist priests with a sad face, but the little Taoist priest looked embarrassed. At this time, a person who looked like a virtuous old man next to him pointed to Wuwei and asked the little Taoist, what did the little Taoist say, and everyone's eyes fell on Wuwei, which startled Wuwei, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to ask: "You, ...... you" Everyone was stunned, looked at each other for a while, and the old man came out and asked in barely understandable words: "The Taoist from afar?" Wuwei nodded, and the old man said again: "You, can you catch demons?" Wuwei thought that the old man asked him if he would make medicine, thought that someone was sick, so he nodded, just wanted to ask what the disease was, only to see a group of people all with happy faces, the squire looked like a hurried forward to make a move, said a word I don't know what to say, Wuwei didn't know what to do, the old man saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain. It took a lot of effort to understand that it was not to see a doctor, but to catch demons. Looking at the eager expressions of the group of people and the helpless looks of the two little Taoist priests, Wuwei finally figured out what was going on.

The old Taoist priest has passed away, and the little Taoist priest will not hunt demons. Wuwei is soft-hearted, since he has inexplicably agreed to others, even if it is a good deed. Although I have never caught a demon, I have always learned to draw talismans and dance swords. So he borrowed a wooden sword from the little Taoist priest, a copper bell, and some yellow paper, and followed everyone to the squire's house. It turned out that someone was sick. The patient is the son of the squire's family, and he has no pulse, which is clearly a gastrointestinal disease, and it is no big problem to use medicine to regulate it, and it seems that the people here believe in ghosts and gods better than Langzhong. So he first prescribed a prescription, and then set up a table in the patio to make incense. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wuwei danced a set of swordsmanship, then rattled the bell and recited a spell, and finally drew many talismans and pasted them on the door frame of the beam. The crowd seemed to be very satisfied, invited Wuwei to the upper seat, served tea and wine, entertained the meal without mentioning it, and gave a lot of alms afterwards. I tossed and turned until midnight before returning to the Taoist temple. Just about to rest, the two little Taoist priests walked in solemnly and bowed to the ground in front of Wuwei. Wuwei didn't quite understand what they said, and stepped forward to help the two little Taoist priests up, but the two of them refused, and after talking for a long time, Wuwei roughly understood that the two little Taoist priests wanted to worship him as a teacher and let him stay in charge of this small Taoist temple. It's really not a way to make trouble like this, so I had to nod my head, and after the two little Taoist priests left, I took a short rest, went to the kitchen before dawn to catch a few dough cakes, and slipped out of the back wall with my baggage. I didn't take a penny of the alms I got yesterday, and I left it all for the two poor little Taoist priests.

Speaking of this, Wu Wei said a little embarrassedly: "The next road is really not easy to walk, I said don't laugh at you, I did some things myself, and now I think about it It's really embarrassing." ”

The corners of Qiu Yinming's mouth raised slightly, poured a full glass of wine for Wuwei, and jokingly said: "Can't even I tell you something?" Could it be that you will also kill people and sell goods? ”

"Nothing." Wuwei hurriedly defended, "I just stole a ......" As soon as he said this, Wuwei found out that he had been deceived by Qiu Yinming, and suddenly his face blushed to the root of his ears, and he took a sip of wine.

Qiu Yinming said with a smile: "What should I do, do nothing, if someone is stolen by you, he must not be a good person in the first place." Am I right? ”

Wuwei said: "I...... There was really no choice but to ...... that day Picked up a county yamen......"

It turned out that after experiencing some inexplicable things in Guangdong, Wuwei planned to avoid crowded places as much as possible, so he only bought some dry food when passing through the town, and then traveled north day and night. But when he left Qiongya, the silver taels he brought were almost used in Jiangxi, although he tried his best to save money, and finally one day he only had three cents left on his body.

It was late that day, and I happened to arrive in a county seat, and Wu Wei used the last money to buy three steamed buns, and I was at a loss, and I didn't see a broken temple that I could live in after walking around in the city for most of the day. At this time, Tiangong couldn't get along with him, and it was raining drippingly. Wuwei had nowhere to hide from the rain, so he had to sit under the eaves at the entrance of the county office. I sat like that for an unknown amount of time, and my mood became more and more depressed.

Before leaving Qiongya, Master had never taught him how to make a living outside, and Wuwei had never thought about how to support himself. No matter how good the knowledge is, no matter how high the martial arts, in the end, the clothing, food, housing and transportation of ordinary people are the most important. The feeling of desperation became stronger and stronger, and a bad thought gradually came out. Wuwei looked at the high wall of the yamen behind him, and thought to himself, taking these money as officials is not stealing. It's a big deal to go into this yamen and steal a little. But as soon as he thought of the word "stealing", Wuwei slapped himself hard in his heart, how can he think about this kind of indiscriminate thing? After sitting like this for a long time, my stomach began to get hungry. Wuwei sighed and thought to himself, this time it seems that he needs to "borrow" some money. Although he was a little involuntarily, Wuwei still jumped to the wall in a flash. I thought in my heart, just do it this time, and think it is "robbing the rich and helping the poor".
