Chapter 27 The Jade Emperor Temple borrowed the corpse to return to the soul

In fact, along the way, Yuan Xiaosheng has been thinking about a problem, that is, how to tell the old Taoist of the Jade Emperor Temple about Zhao Xuedong, and then how to let the old Taoist follow his own will to Zhao Xuedong. It's a good idea to buy the old way with money, but the key problem is that not only do you have no money, but you also don't want to spend that kind of unjust money. Originally, I thought that when passing by Xiajialing Village, I asked Yang Qinglin to make a detour to call the village chief of Xiajialing, and things would definitely be much easier. But once the village chief of Shangjialing Village is called, it is inevitable that he will tell Zhao Xuedong about it, and it is obvious that the gains outweigh the losses. What's more, the village chief of Xiajialing Village, Wei Gouqin, is still Wei Yongkui's person, so he can't let him know.

Grabbed the iron ring on the temple door and slammed it a few times, and it took a long time before a long and sour voice came out of it: "Although the poor road is not talented, I dare not blasphemy the gods, and I don't invite God at noon, but the way to respect God and worship God, please go back." What you want to calculate, the poor road has been clear, please come back at three o'clock tomorrow morning, and the poor road will definitely offer a wonderful plan. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng stood outside the door and listened, and couldn't help but feel a chill, thinking to himself, this old way is too good to drag, and he also made a bunch of literary words to bluff people. No wonder the good men and women in the village believe in the old way so much. He also brought out a fruit and did not ask God's rules to fool people.

Yang Qinglin didn't have much culture, and he could understand a few sour words of the old way, so he asked Yuan Xiaosheng with a serious expression: "What does it mean to have three quarters of the hour?" ”

Yuan Xiaosheng smiled and said, "It's seven forty-five in the morning." ”

Yang Qinglin was frightened by a few words from the old way, and said to Yuan Xiaosheng: "I originally thought that this old way was a blind man, but I didn't expect that there was still a little Taoism." Since they told you to come back at 7:45 tomorrow morning, let's come back tomorrow morning. I'm fine tomorrow morning anyway. It's okay to run with you again. ”

Yang Qinglin naturally had good intentions, but Yuan Xiaosheng couldn't wait, in case Zhao Xuedong was coming tomorrow morning, and he didn't make proper arrangements, this old way talked nonsense, wouldn't his plan be completely frustrated, pondered for a moment, was ruthless, pinched the only three hundred yuan in his pocket, and shouted towards the temple gate again: "Old immortal." These three words really gave Yuan Xiaosheng a lot of goosebumps, so he had to bite the bullet and continued: "Although I have something to ask for, I don't dare to work too much, and now I only want to be able to enter three incense plants at the feet of the Jade Emperor to show my sincerity." ”

After a long time, the temple door creaked open, and an old man with a white face, drooping two triangular eyes, and a long beard, folded his hands, bowed to Yuan Xiaosheng, turned around and made a gesture of invitation: "Donor, please come in!" ”

Yuan Xiaosheng returned the salute in the same way, and gave Yang Qinglin who was standing behind him a look, meaning to let Yang Qinglin wait outside the door. Yang Qinglin smiled knowingly.

The Jade Emperor Temple is actually not big, just a courtyard that enters, there is a big locust tree on the left and right sides of the entrance directly opposite the entrance, go a few steps forward, go up three steps to the main hall Jade Emperor Palace. In front of the hall is a large tripod, which should be made of cement. There are three wings in the east and west, and Lao Daoping said that he should live in the wings. A small arch is faintly visible at the junction between the east wing and the main hall, and the arch is very narrow, about four or five feet, which can accommodate two people to pass through at the same time, which should be the path to the backyard.

Walking up the stairs, standing in front of Da Ding, starting to salute, Lao Dao handed three incense sticks three or four feet high to Yuan Xiaosheng's hands, and brought a stack of yellow watches, lit them and put them in the brazier. Yuan Xiaosheng lit three high incense sticks in the brazier, gave three gifts, and put the incense into the Dading incense burner. Then he took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and put it on the wooden plate that Lao Dao brought over.

"Buddha Amitayus, thank you!" The old man took the banknote, saluted with one hand, and then put the banknote in his pocket. However, Lao Dao was obviously not satisfied with Yuan Xiaosheng's three hundred yuan. However, 300 yuan is a month's worth of food for Yuan Xiaosheng.

Yuan Xiaosheng thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Old immortal, with all due respect, the purpose of my coming here today is not to take these three incense sticks, but to explore the way for one person." ”

The old man raised his hand and said, "If the donor doesn't say it, I already know." "It's as if he's really an omniscient fairy.

Yuan Xiaosheng was silent for a while, and suddenly said coldly: "Since the old immortal knows everything, then I want to ask the old immortal, do you know who I am exploring the way?" ”

Since entering the Jade Emperor Temple, the old way has been pretending to be deep, although Yuan Xiaosheng doesn't want to offend him, but he doesn't want to be led by his nose all the time. This sentence is obviously a warning to Lao Dao: You don't pretend to be X in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't believe you.

The old man was stunned for a moment, still chattering, and said, "A nobleman." ”

A nobleman? Grass, nobles are about to become sluts. Yuan Xiaosheng scolded secretly in his stomach, and took two steps in front of the old Dao and said: "The old fairy is really smart. But...... This noble man is in some trouble now, I don't know if the old fairy has a way to resolve it? ”

The old Taoist is also the master who is used to "solving problems" for people, as soon as he heard Yuan Xiaosheng's words, he understood seven or eight points, pretended to think, paused for a while, and said: "Forty-nine incense sticks, you will be blessed by the Jade Emperor, and you will be able to turn evil into good fortune and turn danger into disaster." ”

Forty-nine burns of incense? One stick of incense is calculated at 100 yuan, and 49 sticks of incense is 4,900 yuan. This old way is too ruthless. Yuan Xiaosheng couldn't help but hate it in his heart.

For Zhao Xuedong, 4,900 yuan may not be nothing, but for himself, 4,900 yuan is his salary for nearly four months. Bring Zhao Xuedong to this kind of place and find a Jade Emperor backer for Zhao Xuedong, you must not let Zhao Xuedong spend his own money, and there is no way to reimburse it at all, so this money can only be paid by himself. Isn't that a nerve for yourself?

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiaosheng turned his mind and smiled at Lao Dao and said, "Don't dare to hide the old immortal, I'm afraid that forty-nine incense sticks won't be able to go." But...... If the old immortal can help this noble man pass this level, I can protect the Jade Emperor Temple from not being easy to replace. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng is not a threat to this old way. The head of Xiajialing Village, Wei Gouqin, although he is Wei Yongkui's person, is also under the leadership of the party committee, how dare he not listen to Zhao Xuedong's words. What's more, the things in the Jade Emperor Temple are not protected by the law in the first place, and Zhao Xuedong can find a reason to change the owner of the Jade Emperor Temple, or even demolish the temple. Don't say that Zhao Xuedong came forward in person, even if Wang Qinghua gave Wei Gouqin a little bit, Wei Gouqin would not ignore it.

When the old man heard this, he immediately showed a little panic. In addition, Yuan Xiaosheng has been talking to him in a deliberately fault-finding tone since he came in, and he should be able to understand a little bit of these four words.

After listening to Yuan Xiaosheng's words, the old Taoist raised his hand again and said: "A sincere person, a stick of incense is enough." ”

A stick of incense is enough, to put it bluntly, it means to give a hundred yuan, which means that I will do something for you. It seems that this old man is also a master who bullies the soft and fears the hard. Yuan Xiaosheng couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, a hundred yuan is easy to say, and he can be reimbursed for any fruit, cigarettes and other strips. It's not like asking for 4,900 yuan all at once, no matter what kind of strip it opens, it will make people suspicious.

Because of the special surname of the matter, Yuan Xiaosheng is naturally inconvenient to tell Lao Dao his identity, but Lao Dao relies on fortune telling to eat with people, how can he not understand the truth of observing words and feelings, and sat in Lao Dao's room for a while, and Lao Dao understands Yuan Xiaosheng's identity very well. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake of the ground, and the person of the township political axe, he can't afford to provoke it. Before leaving, Lao Dao made up another reason and returned the "charity" that Yuan Xiaosheng had just offered.
