In Woniu Village, outside Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Chengde, Zhang Chengen, Zhang Chengsi, Deng Chang, and Liu Sheng were talking at the gate of the village.

Zhang Chengsi said that he wanted to go to Chang'an City to repay his wish.

At this time, the farming was idle, there was nothing to do in the village, and the five of them said that they would go together.

After talking back together, Deng Chang went home and told his wife that he would accompany Zhang Chengsi to Chang'an City to repay his wish.

In winter, there is nothing to do in the village, Deng Chang's daughter-in-law Wang heard Deng Chang say that she was going to the Taoist temple, and she was going to go too.

"It's all a bunch of big men, what are you doing at a woman's house?"

Wang, "We didn't ask him to count that Taoist priest, he opened his mouth to joke about my family, Zhang Chengsi and they passed him on to his gods, I just wanted to meet him and asked him to calculate it for me." ”

Deng Chang shook his head and was silent.

Deng Chang and Zhang Chengde are all friends, and they tell stories about heroes and heroes on weekdays, and they have already regarded themselves as heroes in their hearts, and their daughter-in-law wants to go, so he naturally refuses to let them.

Early in the morning of the second day, Deng Chang picked up a cotton jacket at home, left home, and arrived at the appointed place, under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

His brother Zhang Chengen drove his own ox cart.

Zhang Chengde picked up an unworn piece of clothing at home.

Liu Xi took a few candles and yellow paper at home.

Only the wish is to advocate that Cheng Si brought nothing.

Several people got into the ox cart and said to him, "You proposed to go to Yuxuguan to make a wish, and you didn't even take anything decent." ”

Liu Sheng, "The brothers of all families don't know, go to the temple to make a vow, the important thing is to be sincere." Our Zhang brothers are still wishing, as long as they are sincere, it is enough. Right, Brother Zhang? ”

Several brothers said that Zhang Chengsi was stingy.

Zhang Chengsiyan said, "It's not that I don't bring anything to make a wish, let's pass by the capital, I will buy some decent snacks for the gods, melons and fruits." You can also take those incense and candles, yellow paper, and clothes. ”

A few people were skeptical.

One hour, the five of them came to the capital Chang'an.

Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, where the emperor's relatives, princes, and officials in the capital are located.

Buying and selling, coming and going, although it is a cold winter, looking at it, there is endless prosperity and wealth.

That Zhang Chengsi was really a trustworthy person, although he still wished not to bring anything, but passing by the Chang'an City trading shop, Zhang Chengsi bought a lot of snacks.

The four of them were stunned when they saw Zhang Chengsi's generosity.

The five of them got on the ox cart and went to the capital Chang'an City, and along the way, Zhang Chengde and Zhang Chengsi were all boasting that the Taoist priest was a fairy.

A few people came to Chang'an City, not knowing where the jade void was located, and asked people all the way.

Walk through a few streets and come to the Jade Void Temple.

The Jade Void is in the southwest of Chang'an City.

The further southwest you go, the fewer people there are.

A few people thought they were lost.

Deng Chang's eyes are sharp, and when he looks at it, in the north-southwest corner of the Tang Dynasty, there is a place where shadows are scarce.

Deng Chang pointed his finger, "Brothers, you see, is that a Taoist temple?" ”

A few people looked at Deng Chang's fingers, and sure enough, it was a residence.

Several people drove the carriage and left.

But when they got closer, several people sighed. When I saw the Taoist temple alone, I thought it was, the Xiangli people were in the capital, the Taoist Xuanmen Scripture Collection, the Da Luo Jin Immortal was real, and the mortals of the world envied it. Who knows, when I got closer, two of the four walls of the Taoist temple were broken, broken tiles, and my eyes were full of corruption. The shaft of the gate was corroded, and the two doors were crooked.

There is a plaque carved on the rotten wood at the door, and the words on it are all turbid.

The five brothers were illiterate, and Zhang Chengen stopped the carriage.

Zhang Chengde looked incredulous, "Are we here by mistake?" Is this really a jade illusion? ”

Zhang Chengen, Zhang Chengsi, Deng Chang, Liu Shu, "Zhang Cai inquired with people, yes here." ”

Zhang Chengen, "Zhang Chengsi, are you mistaken?" Does that immortal really live in this broken Taoist temple? ”

Zhang Chengsi, "I talked to the Taoist priest and immortal that day, and what he said was indeed this jade illusion. ”

Deng Chang and Liu Yan laughed.

Liu Sheng, "Everyone in the world says that there are immortals in the world, I think your brother is too obsessed with fairy legends, a turtle king who talks nonsense, you also take it seriously." ”

When Zhang Chengde did not arrive at the Taoist temple, he always believed in his heart that the Taoist priest was an immortal, and the immortal came to teach his family and gave birth to a noble son. When I see the truth of the Taoist temple now, I was just unhappy at first.

Deng Chang and Liu Sheng laughed at him.

Zhang Chengde said, "The legend of the gods is not necessarily a lie. I think that Taoist priest is extremely accurate, who said that if the temple is broken, there can be no immortals? ”

Zhang Chengsi, "My brother is right. The two of them stood at one end.

Deng Chang, "I heard the ancient text say that the immortals all live in the mountains, and in Chang'an City, the capital, the immortals are afraid that they will not live in this broken Taoist temple, right?" ”

Zhang Chengde, "Is it an immortal, I didn't take it seriously, but Brother Chengsi had to come to see it, so I followed." ”

Zhang Chengsi looked at the melon and fruit snacks he was holding and sighed, "Whether it's a fairy or not, let's meet and talk about it." ”

Liu Xi, "I see that you still broke off the idea of treating that tattered Taoist priest as an immortal, in case you see it, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it for a while." ”

Zhang Chengsi, "Don't hit me, are the immortals already here, what's wrong with seeing each other, even if it's not an immortal, I'll make a bet with him and swear, even if you don't come, I'll come sooner or later." What's more, the fairy fortune-telling is so accurate, I have seen it with my own eyes. ”

Several people nodded.

Deng Chang, "The so-called eight characters, looking at physiognomy, and fortune-telling, are just to make people have a thought, and they are people's wishes for good things in the future." That Taoist priest is so accurate, even if he is not an immortal, he is also a capable person. ”

A few people got out of the car and broke off the idea of despising the Taoist priest.

A few people got out of the car and tied the carriage, the Taoist temple was too broken, and the five brothers entered the jade void temple without pushing the door.

But see the Taoist temple covers an area of several hundred meters, the whole Taoist temple is rectangular, the hall is carved eaves and painted buildings, and there are three large halls before and after.

There are no less than a dozen houses on both sides.

The Taoist temple is opposite the main hall, the roof beam of the main hall is covered with a thin layer of snow, the door is wide open, and facing the door is a clay statue of the god.

Underneath the idol is an offering table, and above it is an incense burner.

On both sides of the courtyard are side houses.

The five of them entered the courtyard, and in such a big jade void, no one could see it.

Standing in the courtyard, Zhang Chengsi boldly asked, "Is Jia Xianchang at home?" ”

There was no movement in the yard.

Zhang Chengsi asked again, "Is Jia Xianchang at home?" ”

Still no movement.

"This dilapidated temple is too broken, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are gone, we are empty, let's go." I don't know who said it.

"It's all here, and you don't see each other and just leave?" Zhang Chengsi didn't do it.

Deng Chang thought about it, and said to the brothers, "Brothers, what kind of gods are offered in this temple?" ”

Zhang Chengde, "In Taoism, the highest level of immortal is Taishang Laojun, I think, it should be Taishang Laojun who is worshipped." ”

"Taishang Laojun? I heard that in Taoism, the Jade Emperor is the emperor. "Liu Xi," Brother Deng, who is the eldest of Taishang Laojun and the Jade Emperor?" "When I walked into the main hall, I had to fiddle with the incense burner on the table.

"Taishang Laojun is the founding patriarch, and the Jade Emperor is Taishang Laojun's apprentice, I don't know who is bigger." Deng Chang replied, seeing Liu Shu fiddling with the incense burner, his face changed greatly, "Brother Liu must not move." ”

"What's wrong?"

"You're going to offend the gods like that."

A few people were talking, and someone suddenly broke off, "Well, what are you doing?" ”

A few people looked outside the hall, and there was a person standing at the door of the wing room next to the hall, that person was of medium stature, with a ruddy complexion, wearing a blue robe, carrying a long sword, holding floating dust in his hand, standing in the courtyard like a god, "Who are you?" How dare you make trouble in my jade void? ”

The five of them came out of the hall and clasped their fists at Lao Dao, "Immortal Chief, please, we are farmers from Woniu Village outside Chang'an City, not here to make trouble." ”

Lao Dao looked five people up and down.

Zhang Chengsi bowed to the ground and saluted respectfully, "Immortal Chief, I am polite below, Zhang Chengsi in Xia Woniu Village, I am here to see Immortal Chief Jia Tian." ”

"Why don't you announce when you come to my Jade Void?"

"We shouted, and there was no one in the courtyard, so we came in ourselves."

"Do you have something to do with my junior brother?" The Taoist asked.

Zhang Chengsi, "In my Woniu Village, I once made a bet with Jia Tian, the immortal chief of the Taoist Temple, and lost to him, and I came to Yuxuguan to repay my wish. ”

The Taoist looked at the items carried by the five people, and said, "So that's the case, Immortal Chief Jia Tian is not at home, Jia Tian's master is at home, you still wish, and it is the same when you see him." ”

Zhang Chengde was close to the Taoist, "Jia Xianchang is not at home?" It's okay to see your master, dare to ask what your master is called? ”

The Taoist priest stroked his beard, "Master Jia Tian is my lay uncle. Master Jia Tian's Taoist name is Xuanjizi, and he is the master of this jade void view. ”

Zhang Chengde, "May I ask what the immortal chief is called?" ”

Taoist, "I am the nephew of the Lord here, and I am a monk in Luoyang Xuandi Temple." The road number is a real person, the common family name is Liu, and the name is Liu. ”
