On the surface, Tan Zhixian used female color to settle Yu Fu for a while, but since the flowers left, Lin Hu also followed the high branches, how can he still put Tan Zhixian in his eyes, Lin Hu is the God of Wealth of Tan Zhi County!

Tan Zhixian loves money so much, this can be said to be a self-cutting financial road, how can he satisfy his psychology by relying on the little money of the imperial court alone, and he was angry for a while before he eased up.

On this day, Tan Zhixian arranged the errand of the official on duty in the yamen, and he was worried about tasting tea, thinking that Dongjiang County could not stay, there was no oil and water to fish here, so he had to think about transferring anything. Hey, but the silver also cost a lot, but there was no movement.

At this time, it happened that the master came over, as if he saw Tan Zhixian's thoughts, and said, "Master, are you still unhappy about Lin Hu's affairs?"

Tan Zhixian sighed and said: "Hey, not really, seeing that I am this age, I can't still stay in the position of the county master, I can still be an official for a few years!"

The master said: "Master, you have also made a lot of silver on Lord Yu's side, why don't you see any movement, it stands to reason that there will be vacancies in various parts of the court every year, if he Lord Yu says something, it should be your turn!"

Tan Zhixian said: "Hey, don't mention him, you just listened to what he said, this old guy is only thinking about his entry into Beijing, where did he still think about me." Besides, the silver we gave him was enough to stuff his teeth, and where was there enough to move around, and it was good to be able to keep his current position! ”

Master said: "What the master said is also true, but then again, Lord Yu must not be able to break it for a while, maybe one day he enters Beijing, his position will be vacant, and then you can point to him to talk next to the Lord Long Live when the time comes!"

Tan Zhixian said: "Now we have to do this, we can't reach people if we go up,"

Master said: "Master doesn't have to worry so much, it's up to people, maybe it's just a matter of time, what should come will always come,"

Tan Zhixian said: "Yes, it can only be like this, I don't know if there is such a life, I can't control so much, and the rest can only depend on the will of God,"

Then he continued: "But this is not a small amount of money, how can I raise so much silver!" In the past, when Lin Hu was here, he still thought about his official from time to time, but now it is very different, the expenses of the yamen for a year are really large, and there are not a few children left throughout the year,"

The master's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Master, there is a foolish opinion below, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not,"

Tan Zhixian said: "Oh, but it doesn't hurt to say it,"

The master said with a wisp of beard: "This thing is not difficult to do, it is now the height of summer, and the heat is unbearable." Over the years, every time this season, there are often plagues, sometimes accompanied by floods, and you love the people......

The master paused and continued: "Master, we might as well go to the Tengyun Pavilion and invite the Taoist to hold a Jiao sacrifice to avoid evil and cure diseases for the people, poison and soldiers, and pray for health. Such a good deed of accumulating virtue and doing good, presumably the shopkeepers will not shirk it, and the bigger the transaction, the more willing they are to give money. No matter how much money there is, at least the old man has done a good deed for the people, accumulating virtue and goodness,"

Tan Zhixian said: "This is also a way, but there is something wrong, their annual taxes are already very heavy, and besides, not long after the Duanyang Festival, they have already sent things, in this way, I am afraid that I will be dissatisfied with the people again, and sue to make trouble, isn't this for me to dig a pit and jump?"

The master said: "Don't worry, sir, for the time being, inform the people and exempt them from taxes for the coming year." When the time comes, we will find a suitable opportunity to play an excerpt for the imperial court, and implore the emperor to be gracious and reduce some taxes in Dongjiang County. The master sincerely does things for the people, and the people will understand,"

Tan Zhixian thought for a while and said: "Just do what the master said, you draw up a notice as soon as possible and post it, in addition, quickly send someone to Tengyun Pavilion to ask the Taoist chief to come together to discuss the matter of the Jiao sacrifice,"

"No, it's better for the official to go to the Tengyun Pavilion in person, you send someone to prepare a sedan chair," Tan Zhixian changed his words again.

The master said, "Master, I'll do it," he said, while sending someone to prepare a sedan chair, while preparing a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and brushing and writing.

The master is naturally good, and the notice is to the effect that "in the middle of summer, the yamen cares about the people, and in the near future, the Taoist will be invited to hold a Jiao sacrifice ceremony in Tengyun Pavilion to pray for the people to eliminate disasters, which is a good deed, and I hope everyone knows." ”

The notice was posted, and the people gathered to watch the excitement and know the general idea. On weekdays, Tan Zhixian didn't leave a good image for everyone, so at the beginning, the people thought that they had looked away, and there was no suspicious voice in the crowd, "This can't be the wrong notice from somewhere else", "That is to say, when did our parents have this realization", after watching it carefully a few times, Fang Zhi confirmed that it was correct, and the people were shocked for a while. Some people were so moved that they shed tears, and the crowd cheered and shouted.

Tan Zhixian's sedan chair was bumpy all the way, against the big sun, to the Tengyun Pavilion, Tan Zhixian closed his eyes in the sedan chair, and his thoughts were thousands.

The sedan chair naturally couldn't go up the mountain road, and Tan Zhixian was supported by the subordinates to go up the mountain.

But I saw the mountains stacked with green, the clear water, the strange flowers and plants, the competition for beauty, the willows blowing the ground, the wind and the sun.

In this scene, Tan Zhixian was in a good mood for a while, so much so that he felt that it was effortless, and came all the way to the front of the Tengyun Pavilion Palace, while walking to the palace, he sent someone to report to the chief.

But seeing the tall cypress, Qiyun green pine, the stone steps to the sky, the palace and the clouds, it is a quiet place to go.

Tan Zhi County faces the three Qing Tianzun, the Ziwei Arctic Emperor, the twenty-eight star monarchs, and the thirty-two emperors ...... the Son of Heaven. I suddenly felt that I was like the dust, I didn't dare to think or act recklessly.

After a while, several little Taoist priests followed the Taoist chief to greet Tan Zhixian. Sanguan Palace, God of Wealth Palace, Medicine King Palace, Relief Palace, Jade Emperor Palace, Sanqing Pavilion Four Palaces, Wenchang Palace, Dragon and Tiger Palace, Chunyang Palace...... Accompanied by the Taoist chief, Tan Zhixian burned incense and knelt down in turn, clearing his heart for a while, being in it, and getting carried away.

After that, Tan Zhixian was invited by the Taoist chief to rest in the Taoist temple, the Taoist meditated, closed his eyes slightly, and said: "Taoism advocates that the Taoist law is natural, and the avenue is inactive.

Tan Zhixian replied: "Oh, I have heard the name of the Taoist for a long time, but I have not been able to see the respected face because of the shallow fortune, today I am fortunate to come to this Tengyun Pavilion and the Taoist Chief, the Taoist is really immortal and Dao bones, and the name is well deserved."

Tan Zhixian paused, but for a while, he was selfish, and then said: "This time, although I am an official of one of my parents, I have experienced many years of ups and downs in the officialdom.

The Taoist paused for a moment and said, "Life is difficult to satisfy, and life is difficult to be satisfactory. The so-called fame and fortune in the world are all the past nothingness, and if you are biased and persistent, you will drive yourself to a dead end. The lord is the official of the imperial court, and he bears the king's life, and he should take the king's grace like the sea and the people to live and work in peace and contentment. One era and three times in the lower realm, sexual integrity, everything according to justice. ”

The Taoist chief paused and continued: "As soon as the parents think of people and take shape, Bodhi is originally sentient, and the people are enlightened and enlightened, and only then can Hongzhi ascend to Yuncheng."

The words of the Taoist chief made Tan Zhixian in a fog, and he didn't know what the mage meant, and he didn't dare to continue asking, so he had to stop there.

After a while, he spoke again: "These two are for the people, and in recent days, the heat has been unbearable, and the fields are dry and rainless. At this time in previous years, plague often occurred, and people and livestock were killed and injured because of this, and I wanted to ask the Taoist chief to do a Jiao sacrifice ceremony to pray for blessings and disasters to protect the people, and to keep the country safe. ”

The Taoist chief replied: "My lord has done such a good deed, why should he worry about the promotion of his official position?"

Tan Zhixian smiled embarrassedly: "I'm just an ordinary man, I was lost in this Vanity Fair, and I was ignorant for a while, which made the Taoist laugh,"

The master said: "The Jiao sacrifice ceremony is naturally a good thing, when I choose a good day and auspicious, I will go down the mountain to set up an altar, invite the ancestor to the god, and be worshiped by the people,"

Tan Zhixian said: "This official thanked the Taoist chief for all the people of Dongjiang County, and the official went back to choose the venue, and the Taoist chief set up an altar and burned incense."

After Tan Zhixian finished speaking, he withdrew from the door and returned to the yamen, not daring to delay for a moment, he quickly sent someone to choose a wide venue, clean it up, and wait for the chief to go down the mountain.

When the Taoist chief chooses a good day, he will go down the mountain accompanied by a group of Taoist priests, Tan Zhixian will treat each other with courtesy, and the Taoist priest will go to the pre-found venue to try the altar and set the incense burner.

On the one hand, the master posted a notice to inform the people, and on the other hand, he sent someone to place the merit box in a conspicuous place, and the people cheered and were happy.

When everything was ready, the Taoist took the patriarch's magic weapon, and in Tan Zhi County, the big and small trading shopkeepers, as well as a group of people, went to the Tengyun Pavilion to ask the ancestor for the god position, and came to worship. The crowd was huge, and the scene was spectacular.

To be invited to the ancestral master's throne, it is the first day of the Jiao sacrifice, the people play the color door, build the stove hall, set up the Temple of Heaven, and invite all kinds of gods. Set up a ghost altar to connect the ghosts of the Quartet and the lonely ghosts of the family.

At two or three o'clock in the morning the next day, Dongjiang County had already begun to be lively. The people in the kitchen began to prepare breakfast, and after a hasty meal, they began to welcome incense.

Hundreds of people walked slowly in a long line, the people in front of the team held the patriarch's tablet, resisting the Dharma Instrument in front of the patriarch's hall, and the people in the back held colorful flags in their arms.

People along the way have replaced the incense on the ancestral incense burner with the incense in their hands, and then inserted it on their own incense case or their own courtyard and wall, implying that the ancestor has been invited to the family, and the family has been under the protection of the grandfather.

At nightfall, the people lined up in a long line again, the drummers beat the guys, starting from the front of the ancestral hall, paved a long street lamp made of oil lamps on both sides of the road, and invited all the gods and ghosts, the souls of the deceased ancestors and the souls of the dead to sit in the temple of heaven and the altar of earth, watch the Jiao sacrifice, be worshipped, and celebrate together, so as to keep people safe and secure together.

In the morning of the next day, we began to welcome the treasure and offer tribute dinner. At night, when the lantern is held, the lamp on the nine songs is lit, and people begin to circle around the lantern field again, and the Taoist priest and the person holding the magic instrument and the colorful flag walk in front. The people followed, and the people walked around the periphery of the Jiuqu Lantern Field three times, and then entered the Jiuqu and circled around until all the people who came to the Jiuqu were happy.

After the Jiao Festival, people light two long rows of floor lamps to send away the various gods and monsters and dead spirits who have been invited to participate in the Jiao Festival.

When everything was over, the merit box was recovered, Tan Zhixian dragged his tired body, greeted the Taoist chief and Taoist priests, and was full of hospitality, but he was full of just thinking about the merit box.
