Chapter 403: Our Lady of the Red Heaven
There is a Taoist temple outside Songyang City, called Taixiang Temple.
Taixiang Temple has a well-known view of the master, known as Ma Jiudaochang.
Ma Jiudao is in his thirties, tall and handsome.
Every time he wears a wide and flowing robe, three long beards fluttering under his chin, holding a whisk in his hand, and his demeanor and speech are very chic and spacious, which makes people feel that he is a fairy man with fairy wind and bones at first sight.
Because there is such a character as Ma Jiudaochang, the incense of the child Niangniang who is offered in the temple is very vigorous, and the noble ladies of several nearby states and counties like to come to Taixiangguan to make wishes and make wishes, in order to see the dashing Ma Jiudao Chief.
Ma Jiudaochang's romantic deeds are widely spread in Song County, the most famous of which is that ten years ago, Ma Jiudaochang went to Luoyang to do a three-day prayer but disaster, and when he came back, he took Cai Wenhua, a red courtesan in Luoyang City at that time.
Later, Cai Wenhua lived in a small courtyard behind the Taixiang Temple, and the disciples of the Taixiang Temple called her the lady of the Guanzhu.
In recent days, the autumn rain has been raining, and there are very few people who come to Taiwan to burn incense.
Early this morning, the rain that had fallen all night gradually stopped, and Ma Jiudao also got up under Cai Wenhua's service.
Cai Wenhua took a maid ring to prepare breakfast for Ma Jiudao, and Ma Jiudaochang walked to the courtyard wearing a half-worn Taoist robe to watch the autumn scenery after the rain.
When he was looking, he saw his apprentice Guo Ming walk in, this Guo Ming was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was also a handsome guy like Ma Jiudaochang, who usually followed Ma Jiudaochang to receive guests who came to ask for children in the Niangniang Palace.
If there is nothing to do for a few days in a row, Ma Jiudao Commander will also use him and another junior disciple named Wu Yi to get angry, and because of this relationship, they can enter this small courtyard at will.
"Xiao Ming'er, but what's the matter?" Ma Jiudao looked at Guo Ming casually and asked.
Guo Ming first bowed to Ma Jiudao Chief, then took out a letter and handed it to Ma Jiudao Chief, while explaining: "Master, it is a letter sent to you by my Aunt Wen Ying. ”
When Ma Jiu heard this, he only glanced at the letter in Guo Ming's hand, and scolded with hatred: "That slut, she hasn't come to see me since she accepted a young man named Huang Feibee, and every time she comes here to see her sister, she only comes when I'm not there, what are you doing with this letter?" Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Guo Ming and asked, "Did the person who delivered the letter say?"
"The person who sent the letter only said that His Royal Highness the Dao King was going to have a Dharma meeting tomorrow, and Master Chen Pingping recommended Master to preside over it." Guo Ming replied.
Guo Ming knew that Cai Wenying was Cai Wenhua's younger sister, and Cai Wenhua's parents sold his sister Cai Wenhua to the Qinglou to be a courtesan. Later, Cai Wenhua followed Ma Jiudaochang, and Ma Jiudaochang took care of the Cai family, but he did not let go of Cai Wenying, who was like a flower and jade, and the two Cai sisters lived here for two years to serve Ma Jiudaochang.
Later, Cai Wenying worshiped the old witch Chen Ping of Song County as a teacher, and then left this small courtyard to practice witchcraft in Song County, and in the first few years, Cai Wenying often came back to meet with Ma Jiudao.
In the past two years, Cai Wenying hooked up with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old rogue boy Huang Feibee, and intentionally or unintentionally avoided Ma Jiudaochang, who was very annoyed by this, and every time he mentioned the two, he gritted his teeth and cursed.
When Ma Jiudao heard this, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he took the letter, tore it open and saw that the letter was written by Cai Wenying himself.
The letter also said that Li Yuanqing, the Taoist king who was passing through Song County, wanted to ask someone to do things due to illness, so Chen Pingping recommended Ma Jiu to go.
It's just that the letter also mentioned that Chen Ping calculated a hexagram for Cai Wenying, saying that Cai Wenying was the Nine Heavens Xuannu who descended to earth, and she should be the emperor in the world in this life, so that she could seize the opportunity to accept believers.
In the past few months, Cai Wenying and Huang Feibee have received tens of thousands of believers in several nearby counties, and Cai Wenying is ready to open an altar to worship the heavens in seven days to officially establish the Sanmin Immortal Sect.
Ma Jiudao Chang read the letter, although he disdained what Cai Wenying and Huang Feibee had done, but he was very curious to know how these two people had gathered so many believers?
In the end, Ma Jiu Dao Chang decided to go into the city tomorrow to do things for the Dao King, and also meet Cai Wenying, Chen Pingping and others.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ma Jiudao took Guo Ming and Wu Yi's two cronies and disciples to ride into the city.
As soon as the three of them entered the city gate, they were stopped by a tall and thin young man in a white robe.
When Ma Jiudao looked at it, he saw that this young man was as thin as a bamboo pole, and the white robe that should have been chic looked empty on him, like a white flag hanging on a skeleton.
The most ugly thing is that one of his faces looks like he has been shaved with a knife, but he still has two big warped teeth, and his upper lip sticks out of Lao Gao, and at first glance he doesn't look humanoid at all.
As soon as Ma Jiudao entered the city, he felt a little unlucky when he saw such a person, and asked with a straight face: "Who are you, dare to be the way of the Taoist?"
"Master, this is the Yellow Flying Bee." Wu Yi whispered, only he had seen Huang Feibee when he went to deliver a letter to Cai Wenying.
Huang Feibee didn't think it was angry when he heard this, and arched his hand at Ma Jiudao: "This is Uncle Ma, right?" Under the Lower Red Sky Throne, the yellow flying bee came to greet him. ”
"Humph!"
Ma Jiudao had heard that Huang Feibee was only three points like a human before, but when he saw him today, he felt that he was nine points like a ghost.
The anger in her heart has gone back, Cai Wenying actually abandoned herself for such a personal thing?
Ma Jiudao was reluctant to talk to Huang Feibee, but just raised his whip-wielding hand to signal him to lead the way.
Huang Feibee's expression remained unchanged and turned around and walked forward, but he was thinking in his heart that such a person who was like a flower driver could only hook up with some ignorant women, and when the general got the Tang Dynasty, he would kill this lewd thief sooner or later.
Huang Feibee couldn't walk fast, and the three of Ma Jiudao could only follow slowly with the reins, and after a while, the four of them came to a compound near the base of the city wall.
As soon as Ma Jiudao entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of incense in the courtyard, and saw that no one was burning incense in the courtyard, only hundreds of ragged people lined up to go to the backyard.
These people all knew Huang Feibee, and when they saw him coming, they bowed their heads to him and made a way for them to enter.
Ma Jiudao Chang followed Huang Feibee into the courtyard on the second floor, and saw an old cypress tree with hawthorn branches in the courtyard, and there was a large pile of incense ash in front of the old cypress tree, and six people were kneeling in front of the tree with incense in their hands and praying for something.
Behind them was the people in line, and when he finished praying and put the incense in his hand into the ashes and left, the people behind him continued to pray and offer incense.
Ma Jiudao asked puzzledly, "What are they praying to this cypress?"
Hearing this, Huang Feibee said with a smug look on his face: "Don't pray to this cypress tree, but pray to the Holy Mother of the Red Sky." ”
When Ma Jiudao heard this, he remembered that Huang Feibee claimed to be His Majesty the Red Sky as soon as they met just now, but he didn't know who this Red Sky Holy Mother was?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "I don't know which god the Holy Mother of the Red Sky is?" What are the miracles?"
Huang Feibee became more and more proud when he heard this, but he said with a pass: "The Holy Mother of the Red Sky is inside, you can see it when you go in." ”
Ma Jiudao didn't know who the Red Sky Holy Mother was who wanted not to go in, but seeing that it was all their people here, he didn't dare not go in, so in the end he had to follow the Yellow Bee into the third courtyard with a twist.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that the main entrance of the hall was wide open, and more than a dozen young men and women in red robes stood opposite each other on both sides of the door as guards.
Ma Jiudao saw that the Holy Mother of Chitian was so pompous, and his heart was sudden, and he secretly said What are these people pretending to be ghosts and asking me to come here?
Thinking so in his heart, his feet kept following the yellow bee into the hall.
Ma Jiudao saw a shrine in the middle of the hall, and there was a statue of a beautiful goddess in it, and he felt a little familiar.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw Huang Feibee kneeling down on his knees and said, "Our Lady of the Red Heaven, Ma Jiudao is here." ”
Then he saw the Red Sky Holy Mother, slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Ma Jiudao, and said lightly: "Ma Jiudao is here, this seat is far away, and I hope that Ma Jiudao will forgive my sins." ”
As soon as Ma Jiuyi heard the words of the Holy Mother of Chitian, he immediately recognized that it was none other than Zheng Cai Wenying sitting in the shrine.
I saw that Cai Wenying was wearing a set of fiery red silk clothes at this time, wearing a fiery red lotus crown on her head, with her picturesque eyebrows and eyes, sitting without talking was really like a goddess.
