Chapter 42: Challenges
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, Yang Yun invited Yazi through the trotting hall of the official post and asked about renting a private house.
Early the next morning, Yazi came to inform him that he had found a few good houses in the workshop and asked Yang Yun to choose them himself.
After a hurried breakfast, Yang Yun took the three sisters An Lun, Yarou and Yaqing, and followed Yazi to visit Leyanfang.
Leyanfang is a relatively large square in Chengdu City, with a square gate in the east, west, north and south, and the two opposite square doors are connected with the street that can be used by four carriages side by side, which is called South Street, North Street, East Street and West Street respectively. In addition to these four main streets, there are also alleys that divide the Le Yan Fang into small plots of land where three or five families live, called Qu.
Yazi is a man in his thirties, very enthusiastic about Yang Yun, explained the market of renting in the workshop, and recommended other "businesses" for Yang Yun, such as buying maids, servants, carriages, etc., covering all aspects of life.
"On the north gate of Chengdu, the environment of the Leyanfang is good, this is where the Chengdu County official post is located, guarded by officers and soldiers, and the people who come and go are powerful, and no one dares to be presumptuous. If you want to hide quietly, you can live in East Street, where there is an ink washing pool, the pool covers an area of more than ten acres, surrounded by green bamboo, and the environment is elegant; If you want to have fun, you can live in South Street, where there are many Qinlou Chu Pavilions, but depending on your age, I am afraid that you don't need it. ”
Yazi smiled and introduced Yang Yun.
Yang Yun said: "In this way, even if you don't go out of the Le Yan Fang, you can still find fun in this Music Yan Fang?" ”
Yazi smiled: "Of course, who let the people who live here in Le Yanfang are all dignitaries?" There is money in your pocket, and the supporting services are naturally colorful...... However, it is still not more lively than the few squares close to the Jiedu Embassy. ”
Yang Yun chatted with Yazi all the way, and finally chose a two-entry courtyard in Beiqu of East Street, with four large houses in the front yard and the back yard and separate kitchens, firewood houses, and thatched houses, and the rent was 500 yuan a month, which was a little expensive, but Yang Yun was still very satisfied.
There is not much furniture in the yard, but it is basically enough, and you need to bring your own sheets and bedding.
Yang Yun explained the situation to Yazi, Yazi patted his chest and said that he could find a tailor to customize, and after agreeing on the price, Yang Yun took the key and took the three girls back to the post house to pack their luggage.
Yang Yun's plan was to meet the people sent by the Yamen at noon, move in the afternoon, and strive to live in the courtyard at night, and live his life with the door closed.
I don't want him to just return to the West Street where the post house is located, and find that the situation is wrong, two groups of guys in Taoist robes, like the door god, blocked the gate of the official post, and people from near and far came to watch when they heard the news, and more and more people gathered.
There were seven or eight Taoist priests on both sides, holding flags and flags with some words written on them, which were blown by the wind, and it was not clear what was written from the side.
Because of the official messenger, these Taoist priests did not dare to break into the official post, but just stood on the street, explaining what to the surrounding onlookers, looking like wronged children, confiding in adults.
Yang Yun was puzzled, and the trotting hall that was cleaning on the second floor of the post house was sharp-eyed, and he saw the figures of Yang Yun and the four of them from a distance, and hurriedly went downstairs, came out of the back door of the official post, and called Yang Yun to stop.
"Chief, are you back...... These people claim to be the Taoist leaders of the Taiyi Sect and the Six Voids Sect, and they want to find you to fight the law. ”
The trotting hall of the post house was deeply impressed by Yang Yun, he knew Yang Yun's deeds from the boasting of Hu County Lieutenant, and was very shocked by Yang Yun's method of repelling the Nanban and exposing the face of the Qinghe Taoist at a young age, plus Yang Yun asked him to help invite Yazi to get a reward last night, so he did not hesitate to offend these Taoist priests on the street to be notified in place.
As he was talking, he saw a Taoist in his forties shouting loudly in front of him: "If you don't dare to come out, then admit defeat, according to the rules, from now on, if you encounter our Taiyi Sect people, you have to retreat." ”
"Yes."
A fifty-year-old Taoist priest next to him said, "You can't be merciful to this kind of gutless rat, if he doesn't show up, he will bow down when he sees our people from the Six Empty Sect in the future...... The Dharma of our Six Empty Sect is well-known, driving away illness and evil spirits, praying for blessings in the town, and the effect is remarkable, and it is definitely not comparable to the random practices of ordinary wild Taoist priests. ”
Yang Yun couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "How can this be said in the end, and there is still an advertisement?" I'm not there, and one by two of you unilaterally declared victory? ”
"Oh!"
There was an enthusiastic response from the scene.
As for who the two groups of Taoist priests were going to challenge, although the onlookers listened to it, they didn't pay attention to it, they gathered here just to see the excitement, and they were not afraid of making things bigger.
Yang Yun didn't come forward, he wanted to know the real purpose of these people, whether they were being used, anyway, now that he was in the shadows, there was no need to forcibly show his head at this time.
Not long after, a group of officials came out of the official post, with swords in their hands, and shouted to the leader: "Who dares to make a mistake in front of the official office?" Go away, go away! ”
Soon after the group of yachas, a person in official robes came out, who was none other than Lieutenant Hu.
In the morning, Hu Xianwei contacted the people of the Yamen of the Jiedu envoy, and just came back at this time, he heard that there was a disturbance at the gate of the official post, and it was related to Yang Yun, who he admired, so he went out to check the situation.
The one who took the lead in Taiyimen stepped forward and said, "Poor Dao is the eldest disciple of the Taiyi Gate Jiugong Zhenren, whose legal name is Huiqing, and he has specially come to compete with the kid who claims to be a disciple of Wuzun Zhenren!" We've been here for almost an hour, and he's afraid to come out or what? You stand up for him at this time, do you want to taste the power of the poor road? ”
This person was full of vigour, full of momentum, and the officials looked at each other, and they were all a little restrained before they figured out the details of the other party.
Yang Yun thought to himself: "It seems that it was because of the trick of debunking Qinghe before, which caused me to become famous, and now there are actually challengers...... In the future, if I create a greater reputation and be entangled in fighting by such a group of bears every day, then what quiet life can I live? It seems that the decision to move out was the right one. ”
When County Lieutenant Hu learned of the purpose of these people, he came out to preside over the situation: "The real person is the guest of honor invited by the marshal, where is the leisure time to fight with you?" ”
Huiqing Dao said: "Poor Dao came to fight with him, but he avoided it, because he was afraid!" Do you think that's the case? Otherwise, why didn't he dare to show up? ”
"Yes!"
The Taoists of Taiyi Gate all raised their arms and shouted, and the onlookers cheered one after another.
The old Taoist priest of the Six Empty Sect also came out, raised the dust in his hand, and said: "Poor Dao is the head of the Six Empty Sect Su Maozi, and Poor Dao is also here to fight with him, he can beat us, from then on we will take a detour when we see him, if he loses, he must admit that he is a man who sells fame and reputation, and he does not want to gain a foothold in Yizhou again!" ”
When Lieutenant Hu heard this, he thought of the flying and domineering of the Qinghe Daoist at the beginning, and he became angry for a while. He is an official in the end, and now he is being forced to be aggressive, so he immediately asked with a straight face: "Is it that if you win, the festival commander will invite you and let you do things for the festival commander?" ”
Su Maozi's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Only those who are capable can occupy a high position...... The festival commander can naturally tell who is capable! ”
There were good deeds in the crowd of onlookers, shouting at the top of their voices: "It's a mule or a horse, don't you know if you come out for a walk?" Now that he has been challenged to come to the door, where is the reason to continue to be a turtle with a shrunken head? ”
"Yes, let him out!"
Someone shouted again.
