After preparing overnight, Chen Xu got up early the next morning and went out in the car, saying that he would go to work at the Academy of Sciences, but soon he gave up the carriage and rode around a few streets to a courtyard.

Yu Wuya, Wang Sansi, Wang Wu, Wang Qi and a few others have been waiting for a long time, everyone is wearing new or old burlap clothes, and they are still wearing straw hats on their heads, Chen Xu also quickly changed into a set of burlap clothes that look half-new, got a broken straw hat belt, and in order to hide his face, he also got some pot ash and rubbed it on his face, and his skin looked no different from ordinary people.

Wang San, Wang Si and others were originally Wang Qian's subordinates, and since they came to Xianyang, they returned to the Tongwu Hou Mansion, although they were only a few guards, but they got along with Chen Xu for a long time, so the relationship was very good, Chen Xu never cared about their identity, and occasionally invited them to eat and drink, and this time the Fang Dao warlock Chen Xu didn't know much about the situation, so he called a few of them over just in case, after all, the guards trained by Wang Jian are basically no different from the martial arts of ordinary Xuanwu Wei, they are all the kind of fierce people who dare to kill tigers, It is a little stronger than the head of the guard of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion.

A newly promoted marquis nobleman like Chen Xu, although it looks infinite on the surface, but in fact, the foundation is not strong, except for the emperor's favor, it is basically a light pole, in addition to Yu Wuya and Yingbu Chen Ping can rely on others, the people from top to bottom in the Qinghe Marquis Mansion are either sent by the emperor or arranged by the Inner History Mansion at the beginning, although it seems that there is no problem, but the loyalty that has not stood the test of time is unreliable, and there is no guarantee that there will be a moth one day.

Then there are all kinds of industries and vassals, Chen Xu's industry is now only two, one is Qinghe Garden, and the other is outside the city, the emperor's manor, real estate and land properties have been rewarded several times in a row, and these rewards have only been in hand for a few months or even more than ten days, Chen Xu has hardly not cared about it, and the Qinghe Villa built has been seen twice, and now it is almost finished, but he has never seen those fields and the farmers attached to the fields, and he doesn't even know what grows in the field, these are all handed over to the housekeeper Zhao Lun to manage, He is completely a hands-off shopkeeper, and as for Chen Jiang's family, he doesn't understand it even more, and an illiterate peasant woman can't manage it.

Therefore, in the entire Hou Mansion, Chen Xu basically did not have a few people who were at ease and available, because the time that these people had followed was too short, and their hearts could not be seen too clearly.

Except for a few core guards sent by the emperor from the forbidden army of the inner guards, Chen Xu was more relieved, and the others could only settle, but fortunately, Yu Wuya stayed by his side almost all day long.

Wang San, Wang Si and others are warriors who followed Wang Jian to fight on the battlefield, and they are loyal to the Wang family, and they can die for the Wang family at any time, but Chen Xu does not dare to guarantee that his subordinates are so loyal and brave, even if it is Yu Wuya, he can fight and protect Chen Xu regardless of his life when he is in danger, but if Chen Xu asks him to do a very dangerous thing for no reason, Yu Wuya will definitely smack Chen Xu's face, because Yu Wuya is not a loyal and brave slave of Wang San and Wang Si, he has his own mind and soul, and he can be righteous, You can repay the favor, but you can't let him die casually, if Chen Xu does this, the relationship between the two will be completely cold.

And Chen Xu has always felt that the biggest link that maintains the good relationship between himself and Yu Wuya is not his character, nor the one who saved his life in the first place, but his cooking skills.

Soon a group of people cleaned up, checked each other, and after feeling that they were barely recognizable, they began to check the weapons they were carrying.

The old earth gun was returned to Yu Wuyan's control, and after Chen Xu returned to Xianyang, he asked Gong Loser Shenghe and Ma Pole to create two more delicate handcuffs for himself, which were lighter in weight.

Chen Xu carefully checked the two handguns, the flint, the spring, the trigger, the fire door and even the barrel did not dare to miss the slightest, and after the inspection, carefully loaded the ammunition and inserted it into the holster hanging under the ribs, just like the gangsters in Hong Kong movies in later generations, you can take it out of your arms when you reach out.

And Yu Wuya hid a short sword in his sleeve, and the handcuff was also hung diagonally on his body, and he could get it by opening the short coat.

After all the preparations were made, I waited quietly for about half an hour, and the sun gradually rose, and the temperature of the early morning gradually rose.

"Stampede~" A horse rushed from the small alley and entered the yard directly, and a forbidden soldier dressed as an ordinary farmer jumped down from the horse and said: "Lord Hou, Niangniang has set off in a carriage and horse, and the brothers are also dressed up and accompanying them!" ”

"That's good, you better go back and follow Niangniang, remember to tell your companions, don't follow too close to expose Xingzang or let outsiders see the horse's feet!" Chen Xu stood up and said.

"Yes!" The forbidden army who reported the news got on their horses and left quickly.

Chen Xu also turned over and said: "Let's go, let's go outside the city to meet Yingbu in advance, remember, our target is that old man, and the rest don't need to pay attention to it for the time being!" ”

"Master Hou rest assured, as long as that old man appears, he will definitely not be able to escape, there is no place near Xianyang that our brothers don't know!" Wang Wu said with a smile.

"Master Hou put his heart on the navel for the time being, except for the palace, even if he goes to heaven and earth, we will pull him out!" The three kings and the four kings also slapped their chests together.

Soon a few horses left the small courtyard and went straight to the east of Xianyang City, and then came to the city gate in the crowded flow of people, Wang San, who was walking in front, directly showed the signboard of the Marquis of Tongwu, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to block it and let it go directly.

On the edge of the Wei River in the east of the city, where Chen Xu tested the grenade, a small Taiyi Temple has now been built.

A black basalt stele nearly three zhang high stands in the center of the entrance of the holy temple, the stone platform below the sacred monument is full of incense burners, which are inserted with incense candles of different thicknesses curling and emitting smoke, and there is a strong smell of incense wafting in the whole holy temple, which can be smelled several miles away with the blowing of the river breeze.

Xianyang City originally had a few temples, but the four gods of spring, summer, autumn and winter were worshipped and other strange gods such as the rain god, the river god, the stove god, the door god, the well god, etc., these gods were still relatively primitive fairy varieties before the rise of Taoism, and there was no unified standard and title, and there was no system. According to the four solar terms, go to various temples to kowtow to the gods worshipped, and bless your home with peace and worry-free food and clothing, which is the best wish.

And Taiyi, also known as Donghuang Taiyi, is also known as Taiyi or Taiyi, anyway, this title is more confusing.

When Zhuangzi expounded on the essence and origin of the Tao of Lao Tzu, he said: "Take the essence as the essence, take the object as the coarseness, take the accumulation as the deficiency, and indifferently live alone with the gods." The ancient Taoism has a place, Guan Yin and Lao Dan are happy when they hear it. It is built with nothing, and the Lord is etherless. ”

Thus the One originally referred to the universe, which is both insubstantial and formless.

But later, the Chu people gave Taiyi an exact image of a god and began to worship, because the relationship between Qin and Chu has always been very complicated, and there are more intermarriages between the royal family and the nobles, so the Qin State also began to worship Taiyi one after another, so Taiyi is gradually regarded as a righteous god, and there are more people who worship and worship.

Since the first emperor toured the southeast, Wancheng fell Taiyi god thunder appeared Taiyi God Monument, Nanyang people in order to worship the God Monument and built a huge Taiyi Temple in Wancheng.

Then it is rumored that Chen Xuxi, who is a disciple of the immortal family, came to Xianyang, and performed the Taiyi God Thunder Immortal Technique on the side of the Wei River outside the east of Xianyang City to blow up seven big pits, so the Xianyang people were not to be outdone, not only built a berm to protect the seven pits, but also set up a basalt stele, and with the passage of time, countless merchants and nobles paid money to the stele and seven stone pits as the center, and successively built a temple covering an area of more than ten acres, which was dedicated to Taiyi Xianzun.

And Taiyi Temple has also become the most lively place outside the east gate of Xianyang City, in addition to the hundreds of scholars and rich people, ordinary people also like to come here to worship sincerely, some seek peace, some seek luck, some ask for sons and wives, and there are those who seek promotion and wealth and even seek treatment of infertility.

In everyone's hearts, since it is a fairy, naturally everything should be, sincerity caused by the golden stone for the opening, although the people who ask for so many immortals are so busy, but if the luck is good, the fairy glances at himself, wouldn't it be a big deal, so this Taiyi Temple has been in full swing every day since it was repaired, and all kinds of people are mixed in it.

When Chen Xu and the others arrived, the vicinity of Taiyi Temple was already very lively.

Decent people with status on horseback and carriages, ordinary people carrying baskets, poor farmers who are black and thin, poor farmers who sell barbecue, roasted crabs, pancakes and fruits, anyway, the noise of various accents comes and goes, if it weren't for the clothes that look simple and quaint, Chen Xu must have thought that he had walked to that tourist area, and these people around him were all staff and tourists in the tourist area.

Looking for a secluded place to dismount, naturally there was an arranged forbidden army to come to meet him, Yingbu was also wearing a half-worn coarse linen clothes, carrying a pair of burdens and wearing a broken hat to greet him, but was stopped by Chen Xu raising his hand.

"Do not prostrate lest you be seen!"

"Whoa!" Yingbu instantly comprehended, and then quietly lifted the hat slightly and whispered: "Master Hou, the fifty forbidden soldiers have all made up and distributed inside and outside the temple, and when the lady arrives, no matter who contacts and talks to her, they will be targeted, and when they leave, they will naturally be traced to the place where they land!" ”

"Well, that's good, you go ahead and arrange, let's go around first!" Chen Xu waved his hand to send Yingbu away, and then pretended to be ordinary tourists who came to play the incense with Yu Wuya and others, mixed in the crowd and observed around the temple, and then Shi Shiran walked into the temple.
