Unitary time.

It's time for dinner.

The sunset on the horizon is like fire, and the sunset is slanting in the west.

Yellowing and antiquity.

And in the east, a faint hanging moon rises in the distance.

Although Lord Fu Yin specially set the banquet at the dinner point, at this time, the sun was waning and there was no sun overhead, but the night breeze blowing in his face was still sultry.

Fucheng.

The government office.

This banquet was held in the inner hall of the palace.

The local yamen is generally divided into three areas, the front of which is the public hall that deals with official affairs, and the allusion to the Bo public hall comes from here.

In the middle of the public hall is the area where the staff or some small officials handle official business, such as the case storehouse and the study room.

Finally, there is the inner hall.

This inner hall only houses the family members of the Fu Yin and the Fu Yin, similar to the organ compound.

Of course, Kangdingguo does not limit you to live in the yamen, and you can also build a mansion at your own expense.

At this time, in the inner hall compound.

Although the sun has not yet completely set, the lighting of these lanterns still makes the sight of the yard open and bright, adding to the popularity.

At this time, in the courtyard, two rows of desks were set up, and each table was filled with sweet and sour fruits to quench thirst and reduce the heat. If it is calculated according to one desk per person, there are a total of twenty or thirty desks in the field.

In the top position, there are two desks, needless to say, one of these tables must be Lord Yin's.

Looking at the entire Wuzhou Mansion, those who can sit on an equal footing with the Fu Yin are the generals who have the military talisman in their hands and can mobilize the military strength of the Wuzhou Mansion.

Because Jin An and the old Taoist priest came too early, they casually picked a small corner closest to the corner of the wall and sat down in a low-key manner, and then the two of them ate the chilled fruit on the table without saying anything.

Sharpening the sword is a black household, of course Jin An will not jump the sharpening sword into the Longtan tiger's den of the Yamen.

Both are low-key.

Joy and quiet.

I took care of myself and ate chilled fruits to relieve the heat.

This ghost weather is getting more and more evil, it is too hot, even if it is just sitting like this for a while, the old Taoist priest is like sitting on pins and needles.

"What's wrong with you, old man?"

"Little brother, don't you think the weather is too hot and stuffy, and even the butt pad is wet?"

Jin An, who was eating peaches, had a few black lines hanging down his head.

"I don't know if it's an illusion on my part, why do I think that the big peach and this gorgeous vermilion apple we eat in our hands taste the same as the little brother you invited us to eat in the Taoist temple?"

"Little brother, you shouldn't be picking the fruit of Lord Fu Yin, right?"

Jin An immediately refuted with righteous words: "Lord Fu Yin is a good official for the common people, he sees everything, he does not hesitate to review the suspicious case for us late at night, and acquits us overnight, am I the kind of person who wants to covet his fruit?"

"Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps?

It makes sense for the old Taoist priest to think about it, but he still looked at Jin An with some suspicion, after all, Jin An had a criminal record, and he dared to steal the pears of the Zhang County Ling family when he was in Chang County.

At this time, there were more and more people in the field, and almost half of the seats were filled, and these people who came were all figures with heads and faces in the city.

It is not the master of the Great Dao Temple, or the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, it can be said that he has a high reputation among the people, and the incense is vigorous, these people know each other, and they do not like each other's Taoist Buddha.

Basically, Taoist priests and Taoist priests are together, monks and monks are together, and the left and right sides are clearly distinguished.

However, in terms of numbers, the Fucheng Buddha Gate is powerful, and the number of people is more than half.

And some of these people are loners with withdrawn personalities.

Jin An guessed that these people should have been recommended by local officials layer by layer, and recommended to the folk goddesses of Fu Yin, Mr. Yin and Yang.

But these people are still in the minority.

The monks and Taoists in Fucheng look down on these goddesses and gods who cheat money in the countryside, and the goddesses and gentlemen in the countryside also look down on these pretentious masters or abbots.

It's like a class antagonism.

Jin An seemed to be chatting with the old Taoist priest, but in fact, he had been quietly paying attention to these people, and his eyes were deep, were there any accomplices of the antique dealers among these people?

Jin An didn't believe that those antique dealers took such a lot of trouble to deliberately go around in a big circle to give up the little drought that they had worked so hard to rob the tomb to Fu Yin, just to do good deeds and leave no name.

Among these people must be an accomplice of antique dealers.

In the opposite position of the Buddha gate, the top position has been empty, and the abbot of the White Dragon Temple has not been seen among the people present, it is estimated that they came too early, and the abbot of the White Dragon Temple has not yet arrived.

Said the abbot.

The abbot will be there soon.

As the sound of the Zen staff approaching, the abbot of Bailong Temple and the two old monks in the temple came into the eyes of everyone present.

When the abbot of the White Dragon Temple appeared, the people present, whether they were Taoist priests, monks from other temples, or those lonely goddesses and Mr. Yin and Yang, all looked at each other in awe.

It can be seen that the White Dragon Temple, an ancient temple that has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the city.

Especially on that day, the golden light of the White Dragon Temple, the Buddha statue appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and many people saw it at that time.

If it weren't for the fact that the White Dragon Temple suddenly closed the temple indefinitely, I am afraid that the current threshold of the White Dragon Temple would be trampled by the people.

At this time, even the hosts of several avenues present put down their hostility and bowed their heads to the abbot of Bailong Temple, which could be regarded as a friendly greeting.

As soon as the abbot of Bailong Temple arrived, he folded his hands and apologized: "Amitabha, it shouldn't be too late for the poor monk to come, right?"

"Because the temple has been riddled with mundane things recently, it is late, and I hope that the donor Haihan here is here. ”

The other monks present responded enthusiastically that it was not too late, not too late, and then curiously asked why the White Dragon Temple had suddenly closed recently?

I asked if the abbot said that he had been riddled with mundane affairs recently was related to the sudden closure of the White Dragon Temple.

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple replied with a smile one by one, it seemed that the answer was perfect, and he didn't get any information, and at this time, the abbot of the White Dragon Temple looked around the courtyard and had noticed Jin An and the old Taoist priest who were deliberately sitting in the corner.

"Abbot. ”

"Abbot. ”

Jin An and the old Taoist priest greeted each other with fists, and finally met an acquaintance.

The abbot of Bailong Temple came over with a smile and greeted: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Jin'an Daoyou and Chen Daoyou are okay? The poor monk saw that the two Taoist masters were full of red light and were as strong as oxen, and it seemed that the poor monk was too worried." Amitabha. ”

Jin An easily chatted with the abbot of Bailong Temple: "Thank you for the abbot's concern, can those mundane things in the temple go well?"

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple replied with a smile: "Everything is going well. ”

Jin An: "That's good, that's good." ”

At this time, the people around noticed that Jin An and the old Taoist priest who were deliberately sitting in a small corner in a low-key manner, they were surprised, these two people were the two Taoist priests of the Five Visceral Taoist Temple?

The two Taoist priests who could alarm the three major medicinal herb merchants in the city, who were originally incompatible, and even the abbot of the White Dragon Temple were alarmed?

I didn't expect one of them to be so young.

That little Taoist priest in his twenties, looking young, should be the one who can kill the Jiang family's evil cultivators alone, right?

At this time, the people present were surprised, moved, thoughtful, indifferent and dismissive.

The literati are light.

This phenomenon occurs everywhere.

"A milky hairy boy, I think it's mostly a lie. "There are always some people who are drunk and sober to show their differences, but this person only dares to whisper, and he doesn't dare to say it in front of the abbot of Bailong Temple.

At this time, the abbot of Bailong Temple introduced the two old monks who came with him to Jin An and the old Taoist priest.

"The poor monk introduced the other two Buddhist monks of our temple to the two Taoist masters, this is Kong Ming, the master of the Luohan Hall of my White Dragon Temple, responsible for teaching the disciples to practice. ”

Kong Ming is a tall old monk, don't look old, his eyebrows and beard are white, but his body is majestic, and he has bronze muscles, giving people a sense of oppression like an iron tower.

But what impressed people the most was that he wore a Buddhist prayer bead the size of a child's fist around his neck.

This is not an ordinary Buddhist prayer bead, Jin An felt the power of the vast pure Yang Buddha from it.

"This is Hongzhao, an elder of the Enlightenment Academy, which only practices Buddhism, not martial arts. ”

Hongzhao is an old monk who looks like an ascetic, with thin skin and bones, but his eyes are bright and clear, and there are no other old people's old eyes and impurities in their pupils.

After listening to the introduction of the two old monks, Jin An was surprised, this Wu Yiwen cooperated, plus the abbot, it seems that this is the candidate of the White Dragon Temple to go down to the Yinyi Jiangping Dragon King case this time.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest saluted to Kongming and Hongzhao monks.

"Jin'an Daochang, I Kongming was a pig killer before I became a monk, don't talk about other great truths, Bailong Temple owes you a heavenly favor, and I Kongming personally has a life for you. My Kong Ming's life was saved by you, and in the future, I will go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, let Jin An Dao Chang say a word from you, and my Kong Ming will not even move his eyebrows. As long as you don't ask me to eat meat, my family has been pig killers for three generations, and the karma of contamination is too heavy. ”

Monk Kongming is a fiery temper, and he said boldly as soon as he came up.

"Hongzhao thanked the Jin'an Taoist for his help to my White Dragon Temple. ”

Hongzhao monk, who focuses on practicing Zen and Zen heart, has an introverted gaze, folds his hands, and says with sincere gratitude.

When outsiders saw this scene, they were surprised.

Why are even the other monks of the White Dragon Temple so polite to the Five Organs Taoist Temple?

Isn't it because the abbot of the White Dragon Temple has a very good personal relationship with the Five Organs Taoist Temple, so he came to save the Five Organs Taoist Temple?

But because the Five Organs Taoist Temple and the whole temple of the White Dragon Temple have a good personal relationship?

If it was really the last answer, they would have to re-examine the relationship between the Five Organs Taoist Temple and the White Dragon Temple, and all the capable people present here looked solemn and contemplative.

Being able to get such important information, they feel that today's trip to the government has already been a loss.

Just when the three monks of Jin'an, the old Taoist priest and the White Dragon Temple were greeting, a few more people came halfway, and when the people were almost gathered, suddenly a large number of people strode forward.

A group of heavily armored soldiers, supporting two people with official authority, poured into the courtyard.

"Lord Fu Yin. ”

"Captain. ”

The people present, when they saw the two people appear, they all got up and saluted, although Jin An and the old Taoist priest had never seen what Lord Fu Yin looked like, but it was always right to shout with everyone.

Then, the crowd began to sit down one after another.

Even the abbot of the White Dragon Temple walked to his place and took a seat.

The White Dragon Temple is naturally the top position on the monk's side, because there is no temple in the capital city that can surpass the White Dragon Temple in terms of virtue.

"Stand down, no one is allowed to go near Zhangnai today, I will allow you to cut first and then play. "Today, the lieutenant is still wearing civilian clothes, a simple auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade robe.

"Wow. ”

As those soldiers left with their fists clenched and sang, Lord Fu Yin also began to instruct his subordinates to prepare the dishes, and began to have an endless stream of various dishes, which were served to the guests' tables one by one.

It can be seen that Lord Fu Yin is very attentive to tonight's banquet, and these dishes are all complete in color and flavor.

The top two positions were indeed for Fu Yin and Du Wei to sit.

It was only at this time that Jin An could fully see the full picture of Lord Fu Yin, this is a fifty-year-old man who has a very ordinary appearance, but he can't hide his elegant temperament on his face, he is in good spirits, and he can stay in officialdom for at least twenty years.

Now is the time to go to the office, and there is no need to deal with official business, so Fu Yin wears more convenient daily clothes and does not wear the official mansion.

But it can still give people a sense of oppression at first sight.

Perhaps this is what people often call official authority.

It's just that Fu Yin's expression is a little tired, maybe it's because of the recent Dragon King case, which has turned the entire Wuzhou Mansion into troubled waters, and there is a lack of someone around him who can solve his worries.

After waiting for the dishes, Lord Fu Yin also waved his hand and these subordinates retreated, and they were not allowed to approach without his orders.

"Is the abbot good, is the White Dragon Temple good?" After Lord Fu Yin sat down, he first looked at the three monks of the White Dragon Temple closest to him.

"Thank you, Lord Yin, for your concern, everything is fine. The abbot of the White Dragon Temple replied with his hands folded.

Lord Fu Yin nodded with a smile, and then looked around at everyone present, and Lord Fu Yin said gently: "May I ask where are the few Taoist masters from the Five Organs Taoist Temple sitting?"

Belch!

All of the talented people present from the major universities of Wuzhou Mansion subconsciously turned their heads to look at the table of Jin An and the old Taoist.

Now there is no need for Jin An to speak, they sitting in the corner have been recognized by Fu Yin.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Daoist Jin'an was still so young, and sure enough, a young man produced a hero, and a hero from ancient times came out of a young man. I don't know if it's an illusion on the part of the official, but I always feel that Daoist Jin An looks very familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere. Lord Fu Yin looked at Jin An suspiciously.

Jin An: "?"

"Lord Fu Yin, that must be your delusion, we met in Pingshui but we were lucky enough to live three lives. ”

Jin An said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Lord Yin was stunned by Jin An's words, Pingshui met but Sansheng was lucky... Fu Yin chewed repeatedly, and then laughed: "Brother Ziyuan, you are really right, this Jin'an Daoist is really a wonderful person who speaks very interestingly." ”

General Duwei, who was on an equal footing with Fu Yin, also laughed and said: "Brother Youwei, you see that I am not wrong, after you meet the Jin'an Daoist himself, you will definitely appreciate him immediately." ”

"The first time I saw Daoist Jin'an, I rewarded him with 'prison disaster', I don't know what you plan to reward him for the first time you see Daoist Jin'an?"

When Jin An heard the words "Prison Disaster", his face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot.

He was a little nervous, and he pretended to be calm to look at Lord Fu Yin, maintaining a calm and panicked smile on his face.

Shouldn't this Lord Fu Yin also reward him with a "prison disaster"?

Jin An was stunned.

It's a bit of a pain, hey.

Lord Fu Yin laughed: "There is a reward, there is a reward, give a seat to the head of Jin'an Dao, and give him an equal seat." ”

Lord Fu Yin raised his hand and pointed to the empty seat next to him, and someone immediately brought a brand new desk and food, and now it became three desks on an equal footing.

Jin An was directly dumbfounded.

Which play are these two going to sing today?

First, there was a "prison disaster" reward, and now there is a "equal" reward, which makes Jin An's forehead sweat.

At this time, everyone present also looked at Jin An, all of them looked surprised or thoughtful.

The old Taoist priest looked at the embarrassed Jin An, he almost didn't gloat out loud, and now he tried his best to hold back a smile and look at Jin An, wanting to see how Jin An rounded.

Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest who was gloating beside him, and his face suddenly darkened.

He simply stood up generously under the surprised gaze of the old Taoist priest, and sat calmly on the left hand side of Lord Fu Yin.

Now it has become Jin'an, Fu Yin, and Du Wei on an equal footing.

This time the old Taoist priest was dumbfounded.

The old Taoist priest thought to himself, my mother, the little brother really has the courage to sit on an equal footing with Fu Yin, this is really awesome. When I go back, I have to brag about it with Jian Jian and Mr. Lin, and I will also be glorious......

This made the old Taoist even more determined, as long as he followed the little brother in the future, he would be right!

When Jin An sat down next to Fu Yin, he finally understood why so many people liked the word "power" since ancient times.

The feeling of sitting at the top and being noticed by others... It's so embarrassing, if you want to tear the meat by your hands, you have to be watched by dozens of pairs of eyes when you eat meat, you can only watch but not eat, and sit and starve.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Jin An at the same time, and Jin An naturally could see all the people at a glance.

This time, there are talented people from all over Wuzhou Mansion who were invited by Fu Yin, and there are the most Buddhist disciples.

More than a dozen brains glistened in the moonlight, each from five monasteries.

On the other hand, Taoism is sparse and there are not five people, who are from two Taoist temples, plus Jin'an and the old Taoist priest are only seven people, and there are three Taoist temples.

The Buddha incense in the city is prosperous, the Taoist talks about a pure cultivation, does nothing, rarely acts in front of people, and can not find where the fairy gate is even in the sky, which makes the Buddha incense vigorous, and also compresses the space for Taoism to expand new believers in disguise, resulting in the withering of Taoism.

"Daoist Jin'an, don't you remember that there are three people in your Five Visceral Daoist Temple, why are there only two Daoist Masters here today?" Lord Fu Yin looked at Jin An beside him suspiciously.

Jin An's hand shook.

Then quickly steadied your hand.

"Back to Lord Yin, I did take in a new apprentice, I often taught him 'you need to know that you have a few days to fight Yunzhi, and you have promised to be the first class in the world', so he cultivated hard, and he ...... three provinces a day."

Fu Yin looked at Jin An suspiciously, does this have anything to do with the topic we are talking about?

Facing Fu Yin's suspicious gaze, Jin An sighed regretfully: "He cultivated too hard, and he accidentally broke his arm today." ”

Lord Fu Yin just wanted to speak, but Jin An added: "He also broke his leg, so I didn't have the opportunity to attend Lord Fu Yin's dinner today, and I was really blessed to be blessed by Lord Fu Yin." ”

Old Taoist: "......"

Five visceral Taoist temples, sharpen the sword and sneeze, and then continue to groom the wool for the senior brother and take care of the house.
