In the room of the post house, Yang Yun sat down opposite to Hu County.

To tell the truth, Yang Yun is very speechless about this era, everywhere is the mat, the later Japanese tatami mats followed this design, the room by the window is laid about a foot high kang mat from the ground, there is a plan table in the seat, the host and the guest kneel on the ground opposite the desk, while drinking tea and communicate.

Hu Xianwei said with a smile: "With today's events, the number of believers who believe in Xiao Zhenren will inevitably increase sharply, and they will come to seek the Tao one after another, I am afraid that you will not get tired of Xiao Zhenren." ”

Yang Yun bowed his head and said: "Because of this, I decided to move out of the official post as soon as possible and hide in Qingjing." ”

Seeing that Yang Yun didn't like to show his face, County Lieutenant Hu wondered for a while.

"Other Taoist priests wish the world knew that he had supernatural powers, and once the altar was opened, believers would inevitably gather and make a lot of money. But this little real man regarded his reputation as dung and never thought of making a profit from it...... Could it be that this is the essential difference between a master and a straw bale? ”

Hu County Lieutenant told Yang Yun about the previous contact with the Yamen envoy in Jiedu, and said that someone would come soon.

As soon as the words fell, the post man came to report that a distinguished guest had visited.

Lieutenant Hu hurriedly went out to greet him, and quickly welcomed the person into the room, and this person Yang Yun recognized that it was Sun Deneng, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Province who had been to Shifang before.

Along with Sun Deneng was also the royal family.

Today, the king changed into a moon-white satin robe, a plain jade belt at the waist, black boots, a lacquered sarong crown on his head, and a famous sword inlaid with gold and jade on his waist.

Without waiting for Yang Yun to bow down, Wang Ji had already introduced him: "Mr. Sun, you don't need to introduce this one, right?" He is the real master, the Taoist is clever, I heard that just now at the door of the post house taught a few arrogant Taoist priests who came to challenge, and became famous in a battle. ”

Sun Deneng had an official position, and he was not interested in Yang Yun's spells, so he came over to say hello to Yang Yun briefly, and then took a business-like attitude.

"The commander of the festival is leading the army, and there must be no slack in the military and political affairs in the rear, the spells you provide need to be continuously manufactured, and the craftsmen drawn by the Jiedu Embassy are from the foundry, and they are skilled, in addition to how many efforts are needed, explain it clearly, and the official will arrange it when he goes back."

Yang Yun said: "Craftsmen are enough, there is no need to have too advanced skills, and more than a dozen laborers can help carry and lift...... What is lacking now is raw materials, presumably the Su County Order of Shifang County has reported the materials to the Jieshuai Mansion, right? ”

Sun Deneng's face was very ugly, and he asked, "Didn't you say that only when the spirit rune you wrote was burned and added to the compatibility can the flame charm take effect?" ”

Yang Yun secretly thought: "In order to prevent the correct compatibility of gunpowder from being discovered, I deliberately purchased more charcoal when purchasing raw materials, accounting for almost half, and then drew a simple Taoist charm as a trick. ”

Yang Yun explained: "To make a charm, but also to make the charm work, you must have the blessing of the family master immortal method, and the practice of opening the altar before each manufacture is not enough for outsiders...... Mr. Sun was bothered to help prepare. ”

Sun Deneng glanced at Wang Ji impatiently, and said, "This official will go back and make arrangements, and the venue will be in place tomorrow...... The situation on the front line is urgent, and it is best to resume spell production as soon as possible. ”

……

……

Sun Deneng didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with Yang Yun, and left after the communication.

County Lieutenant Hu hurriedly sent Sun Deneng away, looking extremely attentive, and seemed to have something important to ask for.

Yang Yun knows very well that this kind of officialdom entertainment does not matter whether it is right or wrong, like Hu County Lieutenant, an official from the ninth grade, facing a local official like Sun Deneng from the fifth grade, he is afraid that he will not be able to stammer, and sometimes as long as Sun De can say a word in front of the Jiedu envoy, Hu County Lieutenant will most likely get the opportunity to be promoted.

And Yang Yun is not a person in the officialdom, and the entertainment has nothing to do with him...... Now he is just an existence similar to a "craftsman" found by Wang Yu by Jiedu, the only difference is that he wears the sacred cloak of a Taoist priest.

Wang Ji didn't leave, and said with a bolden face: "Master, Chengdu is in the lower territory, when you get here, no matter what you say, you have to let the friendship of the landlord be in the next." ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "No need." ”

The smile on Wang Ji's face did not decrease, "Even if you don't need it, you have to pay a good respect...... It just so happens that you don't know much about the situation in Chengdu, and you don't know so much about the delicious and fun places and places of interest in the city, especially the Shudi Daomen, just like the people who came to Taiyimen and Liukong Sect before, they are the Daomen forces that have been rooted in Chengdu all the year round...... These are in the lower capital of the door. ”

Yang Yun didn't want to take advantage of the king's nationality, because he didn't plan to accept the king's nationality as a disciple, and he felt that there was no need to owe favors, but he was very interested in what the king's nationality said.

"When I first arrived, I was very unfamiliar with everything in Chengdu, and having a royal residence is equivalent to having a living map."

After thinking about it, Yang Yun said: "Then you can tell me about the distribution of Taoist forces in Chengdu and even Jiannan Dao." ”

Wang Ji said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk, it's just time to eat, why don't you find a wine shop, let's talk about things while drinking?" ”

"In that case, lead the way." Yang Yundao.

……

……

Before leaving the official post, Yang Yun went next door to take a look.

The three little girls were already eating around the table, and the official post provided three meals, although they were all steamed and boiled dishes, but the three girls of Yarou ate with relish.

Yang Yun briefly admonished him, and then followed Wang Ji out.

Yang Yun lives in the Leyanfang, not only the north gate of Chengdu out of the city must pass through, but also the south to the north of the business travel concentration place, there are many warehouses and workshops in the cloud, naturally indispensable restaurants and inns.

Walking on the bustling main street, the tall square walls separate the squares, and the black and old city bricks show the simplicity of the city.

The cobblestones on the road are a bit awkward, but it's the best option right now, and it won't get muddy on rainy days.

Wang Ji was very familiar with this place, and directly found a two-story small building on South Street, and walked into a wine shop with flags. After the two went upstairs, they picked a private room by the window and called for good wine and food.

"This meal should be regarded as a reception for the masters."

Wang Ji smiled and added wine to Yang Yun, "The meager water wine is not a tribute...... I have been to this wine shop before, the dishes are novel, the wine is strong enough, the only fly in the ointment is that the environment here is not very elegant, there is time to take you to the scattered flower building in the south of the city, look at the river view to eat wine, that is called enjoyment. ”

Yang Yun said: "It seems that you are very good at eating, drinking, and having fun." ”

Wang Ji smiled ashamedly: "Actually, I'm not a local, so I must study the human environment first when I go to a place...... The Wuhou Temple, Sanhualou in the south of Chengdu, the Zhangyi Tower and Qingyang Palace in the west of the city, the Daci Temple in the east of the city, the Wudan Mountain, the Longdi Pond, the Wenshu Monastery in the north of the city and the Maha Pond in the city are all beautiful scenery in the world. ”

"The only bad thing about Leyanfang is that there are too many people from three religions and nine streams, but because of this, there is a little more fireworks, and it is not bad to come here to check the customs and customs...... By the way, master, how did you teach the old way of the bull's nose of the Taiyi Sect and the Six Empty Sect just now? It's a shame I didn't see it with my own eyes. ”

Yang Yun shook his head and said: "It's said that it's to fight, but in fact, it's relying on the strength of the crowd and trying to give me a dismount, but you can guess it, none of them have real skills, and I didn't scare them away without much effort." ”

Wang Ji said: "The Six Empty Sect is not worth mentioning, their Taoist temple is outside the Wanli Bridge at the South Gate, and there are not many Taoist priests in the temple, but they just want to fish in troubled waters, earn enough reputation by suppressing you, and then absorb believers, and don't want to lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot." However, the people of Taiyimen need to deal with it carefully, they themselves are not very powerful, but they have the backing of Qingyang Palace behind them...... This Qingyang Palace is the largest Taoist temple in Chengdu and even Jiannan Road. ”

Yang Yun suddenly became cautious when he heard this.

Shifang County is a small place, there is no big Taoist power, but Chengdu is one of the four major metropolises in the country, Taoism, Buddhism and other religions have formed a system, many believers, and have a strong influence.

For example, Qingyang Palace, Yang Yun knew even if he did not come to the Tang Dynasty, this is the largest Taoist temple in Shu, known as the "first jungle in the southwest", with a history of more than 2,000 years.

He, a person who became a monk halfway through the family and relied on superpowers to maintain his status as a Taoist priest, must be cautious in the face of the profound Qingyang Palace, otherwise it is easy to fall into a difficult situation.

Wang Ji said again: "Taiyi Gate came to provoke, I estimate that it is likely that the Taoist of Qingyang Palace wants to test the reality of the master, there are many famous Taoist leaders in Qingyang Palace, and he is famous for his profound magic, and the Dharma meeting held in Yizhou will be attended by people from Qingyang Palace." Now that you have been appreciated by the marshal, how can the Taoist of Qingyang Palace be willing? ”

Yang Yun nodded slightly: "Well, thank you for the reminder." ”

Wang Ji smiled and said: "But don't worry, you are the guest of honor invited by the marshal, and you are also responsible for the errand of making charms, so they can't compete with you." ”

"But the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and the bright and the inside may be safe, but I am afraid that they will stumble in secret...... Hey, in the next or can be maintained with connections ......"

"No need."

Yang Yun raised his hand and shook it, directly rejecting the kindness of the king, "The soldiers are coming, the water is covering, I have no intention of grudging with others, but if others bully them, I will not let them have a good time." ”

"After successfully completing the errand entrusted by Wang Jiedu, I will leave Chengdu for Luoyang. Oh yes, I have to go to the official school to register my student status, and I may have to study for a period of time in Chengdu, and I don't have time to pay attention to Taoist grievances and disputes. ”
