Guo Hong demonstrated the arc around his fingers, and when he saw He Qiong's eyes, he exclaimed for a long time, and kept asking his junior brother to perform.

"It's really out of power." Guo Hong felt that he was being squeezed dry, and said with a wry smile.

The girl asked repeatedly to confirm that there was really no more, so she regretfully let go of the little junior brother.

The three of them came to the guest room, Cao Shouzhen threw down his luggage and wanted to go out with He Qiong, but the girl said that she was going home for dinner now, and she would come back early tomorrow morning, and then she would take her only junior brother to visit near the Zhenzhen Palace.

The palace is quite prestigious, covering an area more than twice the size of the temple.

The third Taoist priest's residence is built in a two-storey small building, which is unique to the mountain and the lake.

He Deng rested in the small building opposite the Xuanjing Pavilion during the weekday, and the small building of Uncle Zhang Shoujing was next to him.

There are only pavilions and guest rooms where the Taoist priests rest, except for Liu Yuanjing, the other six Taoist priests all have their own residences outside the temple, so He Qiong has to leave the Zhenzhen Palace when he goes home for dinner.

Before the rise of Quanzhen Taoism in the Southern Song Dynasty, Taoist priests in the world generally married wives and had children, and Taoist temples were just their workplaces, coming to work every morning and leaving work at night.

The Quanzhen Sect learned from Buddhism, advocated not being close to women, called "monks", and called the Taoist priests of the Zhengyi, Shangqing and other schools "at home", also called Huoju Taoists.

The Taoist priests of the Tang Dynasty were all Huoju Taoists, but not all of them lived outside the temple, such as Sima Chengzhen and Liu Yuanjing, who generally lived in the temple, and the entire Taoist temple was their property.

Linen is fine linen, in ancient times, the mourning clothes were divided into five grades according to the standard of intimacy, and linen was the lightest class, which should be worn for three months.

All great-grandparents (grandfathers, grandmothers), great-uncles and grandparents (sons and daughters-in-law of great-grandfathers other than great-grandfathers), uncles and parents (sons and daughters-in-law of cousins), clan brothers (grandsons of cousins) and unmarried clan sisters, as well as maternal cousins and parents-in-law, etc., are all relatives.

Take Guo Hong as an example, his great-grandfather Guo Ziyi is his pro-ma.

If you go out of Wufu, you are not regarded as a relative in Tang Law, but only a relative of the same clan, and the mutual relationship in law is basically equivalent to that of ordinary people, but in the patriarchal law, it is a relative.

All Taoist priests in the world are relatives of the royal family, regarded as relatives of the emperor and the country, and are managed by Zongzheng Temple.

The Zhenzhen Palace is also Liu Yuanjing's mansion, and the six Taoist priests under him assisted him as a pro-Ma pro, operated Taoist temples to promote Taoism, and prayed for the blessings of the Li Tang royal family.

Similar to Xi'an, there is also a grange at the foot of the mountain of Zhenzhengong, and there are many tribes.

If you are a local, it is better to say that you have your own ancestral house, but if you are a person from other places who come to learn Taoism, it will cost a lot to rent a house every year.

Although the rent is a drop in the bucket compared to Chang'an, the income here is also much less than that of the national capital.

When the lamp was in hand, Guo Hong followed the senior brothers to accompany the master to dinner, and then went back to sleep.

After dark, there is no program, every household turns off the lights and sleeps, except for the lanterns hanging at the entrance of the Taoist temple and the town gate, it is dark everywhere, and this scene in the rural market town has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Guo Cao and the others walked for a day, and they were also tired, so they fell asleep soon after falling on the bed.

This season, the dawn is early, and at midnight (six o'clock) the next day, He Qiong, a girl with a squirrel, rushed over.

"Senior sister, what is this for?" Guo Hong was forced to cover his face and hands, revealing only a pair of eyes, dressed like a ninja.

"Do you know how famous you are right now? Bring the hat with you, and it will be good that you will not be recognized! ”

Guo Hong could only succumb to the obscenity of his senior sister, and the three of them went out of the palace gate and came to the street, feeling that the pedestrians around him kept looking at him.

There is not much flat land in the middle of the mountain, the width is only three zhang, that is, less than ten meters, the middle is the road and the stream, the two sides are full of houses, and the lanes of the houses extend to the two sides of the mountain.

These houses are high and low, the foundation is made of large stones, and then the fence is built, and there are one or two ancient trees left in the yard of each house, there are locust trees, pines and cypresses, weeping willows, and the branches of the trees stretch out of the wall, and the shapes are different, and the decoration of a street is extraordinarily elegant.

There is a horizontal alley a few steps away from the main road, and most of the houses here are small buildings of two to three floors, stacked on top of each other, from the street to both sides of the hillside, and the houses in the middle of the mountain are connected to the main road through the horizontal alley.

In later generations, only Nisakapo and Misakapo in Kyoto, Japan could see this kind of beauty.

In the brook were women who washed their clothes and fetched water, and they sang songs as they worked.

The streets are full of pedestrians, most of whom are Taoists who come down the mountain to worship at the Two Great Avenues.

There are all kinds of shaded sheds on the side of the street, and there are vendor signs below, which are much more lively than the top of Zhurong Peak, and the scale of the market town is not much better than Nanyue Town eight miles away!

The Nine Truths Temple not far away was established earlier, and it is smaller than the Zhenzhen Palace.

Both Taoist temples are built on the mountain, and from a distance, you can see the rising level, and the momentum is magnificent and awe-inspiring.

These days are close to the mid-year festival on the 15th day of July, and it is the time when the believers gather, and there are already vendors selling items to worship ancestors on the streets.

"Monkey, how much money do you have?" He Qiong took Guo Hong by the hand and turned back to ask Cao Shouzhen.

The young man with declining intelligence took out a money bag from his arms, He Qiong took it and checked it, with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect you to be quite rich!" Enough for dinner today! He turned his head to Guo Hong and said, "Sister will take you to eat good!" ”

Guo Hong had a question mark on his face: "There is no breakfast in the view?" ”

The girl smiled, "What's so delicious about that." ”

Then, without saying anything, they picked up Guo Hong and left, they passed through the flow of people and entered a shed, and the flag next to it had the word "cake" written on it.

This house is a pancake maker, and there is a huge pancake pancake on the stove, and a middle-aged man is spreading the cake, and a string of baked pancakes is hung with a rope under the eaves.

"Uncle Chen, have a cake." He Qiong threw the money bag back to Cao Shouzhen and asked him to pay.

A middle-aged woman came over and skillfully cut the cake into several pieces and wrapped it, handed it to the young man but refused to accept the money, and said to He Qiong with a smile: "The little lady is here again, thanks to you last time, otherwise our right hand in charge will be wasted, and this business will not be done, and life will really not go on." ”

In the Tang Dynasty, both married and unmarried women could be called ladies, similar to the "ladies" of later generations.

"Chen Erniang, don't say that, it's just a gesture."

The title of women in the world is similar to that of men, they all add surnames, and add lines to the end, but in the end, "Lang" is changed to "Niang".

Chan said, "But it's a great kindness to us!" You don't need money to eat bread later! ”

Uncle Chen, a middle-aged man, also nodded vigorously, but he was obviously a person who was not good at words, his face was very excited, but he couldn't say anything grateful.

"I won't dare to come in the future!" He Qiong insisted on paying.

After some concessions, I finally paid half of it, and said that it would only be this time and not take it as an example.

After leaving this stall, Cao Shouzhen handed over his money bag to He Qiong again, and then asked what was going on.

He Qiong broke a little bread and fed it to the squirrels, while explaining the reason, and the two brothers were angry when they heard it.

It turned out that a few days ago, Wang Yande, the third son of the Nine Truths Observation Master, was burned when he ate a cake, and he had two big bubbles, so he was angry and wanted to chop off Uncle Chen's hand, which was seen by He Qiong and beaten away on the spot.

"Xiao Mazi is so domineering now?!"

Cao Shouzhen was a little surprised, Wang Yande he knew, and they had played together before, and they couldn't control the acne and picked it out by themselves, making potholes on their faces, so they had the nickname of this little pockmark.

Cao Shouzhen went to Chang'an with Liu Yuanjing, and after returning to Hengshan, he went directly to Xi'an, and it has been several years since he left the Zhenzhen Palace.

He Qiong said: "It's not that he was spoiled by his mother. Let's not talk about these bad things, now go to the next one! ”
