The flying rat was really stopped by him, and he didn't dare to come again all night, and the next morning, Guo Song settled the house money, led the horse and left the inn, and walked along the official road to the county seat two miles away.

The closer to the county seat, the two sides of the official road gradually became lively, all built houses, all kinds of small shops one after another, many peasants set up stalls on the road, selling all kinds of vegetables, melons, beans, chickens, ducks, fish and eggs, and there were constantly women wearing cloth clothes and thorn skirts from the city to buy vegetables, bargaining with the peasants, quite vigorous.

At this time, the Guo family saw a clothing appraisal shop on the side of the road, so they tied the horse to the door, walked in, and after a while, he came out of the store, and immediately changed his outfit, wearing a seventy-percent new cyan fine linen shirt, a leather belt around the waist, a soap gauze hat, and a jade pendant at the front end of the gauze hat, which looked gentle and elegant, quite like the dress of a scholar.

The horizontal knife is still worn on the waist, and the scholars of the Tang Dynasty also want to wear swords and swords as decoration, but they are mainly swords, and there are not many swords, and even if they do, they are basically horizontal swords.

He also carried a wicker bookcase in his hand, and the samurai uniform, cloak, and bow and arrow were all placed in the box, and the box was tied to the back of the saddle, and he was completely a traveling scholar.

In Longyou, Shuofang and most of the northern regions, it is rare to see scholars, and most of the general scholars are children of families, basically both civil and military, just like Liang Wu, who usually wears samurai uniforms.

But in the capital, Guo Song's dress is extremely common, it can be said that the streets are all over, ordinary men of the middle class wear such shirts, leather belts around their waists, and soap gauze hats, but young people prefer to wear samurai clothes, and young people who wear shirts and bookcases are often scholars.

After changing this outfit, he lost the majestic and heroic temperament he had before, and there were obviously fewer people who paid attention to him.

Guo Song led the horse to the city gate, there is indeed a big notice board outside the city gate, there is a rain eaves on it, it is covered with all kinds of official notices, two soap-clothed officials stand on both sides of the sign with water and fire sticks, one left and one right, there are many people standing in front of them, if they are illiterate, they can also ask the officials next to them to read to everyone.

Guo Song glanced at it, and in the middle was a notice that had just been posted, which was to convey the will of the imperial court, allowing merchants to ride horses, wear robes, and allow merchants' children to practice martial arts.

His eyes fell on the upper left corner, where there were seven or eight wanted notices, the first one should be the latest, that is, the flying rat he met in the tavern last night, called Sun You, a native of Chang'an, charged with stealing official silver, with a reward of 300 yuan, and the portrait is indeed a sharp-beaked monkey gills, which is a bit like him.

Although Guo Song passed by with a reward of three hundred yuan, he was not short of money, he had three hundred taels of gold in his horse bag that he earned in Lingzhou, worth three thousand yuan, and he also had a small mansion worth five thousand yuan.

After reading it twice, he didn't see his own wanted warrant, it seemed that Duan Xiushi really helped him clear the case, and he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.

He led the horse and walked directly to the county seat........

Two days later, Guo Song finally arrived at Chang'an City, a large-scale city appeared in front of him, the long city wall was out of sight, several majestic towers stood on the city wall, and the outside was a wide and deep moat.

Although the Anshi Rebellion broke out, whether it was An Lushan or Shi Siming, they all wanted to build the capital in Chang'an, so they did not destroy the world's first male city, after ten years of restoration, Chang'an City became prosperous and rich again, densely populated.

At this time, it is the height of summer, the weather is hot, the willow trees on both sides are desperately screaming, there are not many pedestrians on the road at noon, the shops on both sides of the official road are basically dormant, Guo Song bought a few Hu cakes in front of a Hu cake shop, and poured a bottle of water, while eating Hu cakes, directly from the Chunming Gate into Chang'an City.

There are soldiers on both sides of the city gate, and they usually don't check it, but they stop the spot checks, and the soldiers have poisonous eyes, and they can see which people are not locals and which people have problems.

Ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty also did not have ID cards, and only after becoming an official would they have a fish charm, but Guo Song had a household registration certificate issued by the Lingzhou government, which proved that he was a normal household in Lingzhou.

The soldiers generally don't check the ordinary households, and the focus of their inventory is the caravan, and every time there will be a little oil and water, which can be regarded as a backer.

Chang'an City Street is very wide, paved with neat stone slabs, you can't see the shops along the street on both sides, you can't see the big houses of Zhumen, you can see the long square wall, Chang'an is a chessboard structure, 14 streets in the east and west, 11 streets in the north and south, these streets divide Chang'an City into 110 squares, each square wall and the square door, at night, the curfew begins to close, the Jinwuwei soldiers are covered with 25 streets, the people are not allowed to go out, they can only stay in their respective squares.

Entering the city from Chunming Gate, not far from Xuanyangfang, where Guo Song's small mansion is located, but he doesn't want to collect his small mansion for the time being, he wants to find the Qingxuguan of the capital, where the senior brother Gan Feng is the abbot.

Qingxuguan is located in Jinchangfang, it is said that it is very close to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Guo Song inquired all the way, and finally found Qingxuguan, but it was really a bit unexpected by him.

Qingxuguan covers an area of only three acres at most, the surrounding area is relatively desolate, there is a small river on the left, and on the other side of the river is an abandoned city god temple, which covers a wide area, overgrown with weeds, and behind it is a pine forest.

And most of the people in Jinchangfang are the houses of the people at the bottom, the houses are rammed with mud, the roof is thatched, and the family is slightly better, there will be a small courtyard around, but most of the people have no yards, only see the black window holes and dilapidated wooden doors.

Although the location of Qingxuguan is very bad, Guo Song can also understand that the master's son is not a wealthy family, and his family background can only be regarded as middle and upper-middle, of course, he must choose the cheapest place to build a Taoist temple for his father.

Qingxuguan is a brick and wood structure, yellow walls and black tiles, although the area is a little smaller, but it still looks good, and there is a big locust tree at least a hundred years at the door, which sets off the antique temperament of the Taoist temple.

The gate is open, the cigarette smoke is swirling inside, there are pilgrims burning incense in the courtyard, there is a plaque with a silver edge and a yellow background hanging above the gate, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dance writes the three big characters of 'Qingxuguan', Guo Song's heart is hot, the three words of Qingxuguan are exactly the same as the Qingxuguan of Kongtong Mountain, they are all the handwriting of the master.

Guo Song just walked into the courtyard, and a little Taoist boy came to him, and gave him a fist salute, "The donor is here to burn incense?" ”

"This ..... I'm here for your abbot! ”

Xiao Daotong said respectfully: "Master has gone out to do business, and he won't come back until the afternoon." ”

"That's it!"

Guo Song smiled again: "I came from Kongtong Mountain Qingxuguan, if your master's name is Gan Feng, then he is my senior brother!" ”

Xiao Daotong blinked, "Could it be that you are Uncle Ganyue?" ”

Guo Song was overjoyed, Gan Yue was his Taoist name, but he had never used it, only the master and a few senior brothers knew, he nodded again and again, "I am!" ”

Xiao Daotong laughed and saluted again, "It turned out to be Uncle Shi, my name is Qingfeng, and I am the twelfth disciple of Master, Master told us that Uncle Shi will come in the next few months, let us pay attention." ”

Guo Song's heart was warm, the senior brother had never forgotten himself, he actually had a feeling of finding his relatives.

"Please come with me."

Xiaodao Tong Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the backyard!" ”

"What should I do with this horse?"

"Okay, there is a livestock shed in the back, and there is also a horse in it, which seems to have been given to us by my uncle."

Guo Song smiled heartily, it was when he returned to Kongtong Mountain from Ganzhou, and he couldn't settle the horses, so he asked Zhang Mingchun to send them to the capital, which was still last spring.

The Taoist temple not only has horses, but also seven or eight donkeys, and also invited a horseman to take care of it, Guo Song handed over the horse to the horseman, and then followed the little Taoist boy to the backyard.

There is about an acre of land in the backyard, the houses are dense, there are at least more than 20 rooms, the dormitories, kitchens, and warehouses of the Taoist priests are here, and there are five or six guest rooms, but the rooms are very small, just enough to put a bed inside, and it is actually a bunk bed, and a small table is placed against the wall inside.

There is also a towering tree against the wall, the fierce son fell from the sky, landed on the big tree, curiously looked at the surrounding environment, behind the Taoist temple seems to be a forest.

"This is our dormitory, one for two Taoist children, one for one Taoist priest, and Master's Taoist room is in the innermost, uncle, go this way!"

They walked to the courtyard next door, which was the guest room, and there were six rooms in total, which were usually borrowed by Taoist priests from other Taoist temples.

"Qingfeng, have you seen the third uncle?" Guo Song is most worried about the third senior brother Gan Lei.

Qingfeng smiled and said, "That very fat third uncle! He came here last month, and we liked him very much, and every time he came, he would bring us pastries, and he seemed to open a pastry shop. ”

Guo Song almost stumbled, he suspected that his ears were wrong, senior brother Gan Lei opened a pastry shop?
