Although Jiyuan is a small county under the jurisdiction of Huaiqing Mansion, the temple fairs of Jiyuan are famous far and wide. Not only the local people of Jiyuan will go to the temple fair every Friday, but also other counties in Huaiqing Prefecture, and even people from Henan Mansion will also come to catch the temple fair. Not for anything else, just because the temple of Jiyuan is too famous!

The temple of Jiyuan is not a temple where monks live, but a real temple, a place to worship the god of water.

There are four desecrations in the world, the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huaishui, and the Jishui. Jiyuan Jiyuan, because it is the birthplace of Jishui, it has the name of this county. During the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang was the capital of the gods, because it was close to Jiyuan, so the court built a temple in the place where Jishui originated, called Jidu Temple, dedicated to the great god of Jidu, there were worships every year, and even the emperor often came to worship in person. Therefore, the scale of Jidu Temple is very large, the specifications are very high, and even the two cypress trees surrounded by several people in the temple are also very famous, and the people all say that it was planted by Wei Chi Jingde when he was ordered to build the temple, so it is respectfully called "General Cypress".

It can be seen that the temple has been famous in the Tang Dynasty and has survived for hundreds of years. It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, because Emperor Yongle built the capital of Beiping, it was too far away, so he didn't come to worship. Since then, the temple has been declining and has not flourished as before, but the custom of meeting every Friday has been retained.

Qian Zijun didn't want to be ostentatious, so he didn't call the servant to call an official sedan chair over, but quietly walked out of the Yin Hotel with Li Feibai from the back door. Qian Zijun had a leg injury and had difficulty walking, so the two of them rented a donkey at a mule and horse shop. Qian Zijun rode a donkey Li Feibai led the donkey, went out of the city to the north, walked out of the three-mile road, and saw the temple outside the lixu, the red wall and green tiles are very magnificent.

Further on, there were all small vendors shouting and selling, blocking the road tightly.

The two tied the donkey in front of a store, Li Feibai gave the shopkeeper ten cents and asked him to take care of it, and then reached out to support Qian Zijun and squeezed into the crowd.

Qian Zijun first went to see the groceries on the stalls with great interest, and after seeing the similarities sold in each stall, he lost interest and proposed to go to the temple to have a look. When the two came to the temple, they saw that the temple door was closed, and they knocked on the door for a long time before a door came to open the door, looked up and down at the two of them, and said: "The temple is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to trespass." ”

Qian Zijun said: "Call your stewards." ”

The man saw that Qian Zijun was dressed luxuriously, and he didn't know which family's son-in-law he was. He didn't dare to offend, and said, "Wait a minute!" "Close the door and go to yourself. After a meal, the small door in front of the temple opened again, and a person dressed as a servant arched his hand at the two of them, and said, "Who are the two?" ”

Qian Zijun handed over his waist card. The official took a look and exclaimed, "It turned out to be ......."

Qian Zijun stretched out his index finger and "shh ”

The official hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" He handed back the waist card and invited the two into the temple. After closing the small door, he knelt down in front of Qian Zijun and bowed: "I don't know if the adults are coming, the villain is not welcome, please don't be surprised." ”

Qian Zijun asked the official to get up and said, "Are you the steward of this temple?" ”

The official said, "Not really! The smaller one was a scribe from the workshop, who came to inspect the temple buildings to see what needed to be repaired. ”

Qian Zijun let out an "oh" and said, "What's your name?" ”

The official said: "The little one is surnamed Wang, and his name should be frugal." ”

Qian Zijun said: "The king wants to be thrifty, and the king wants to be thrifty." It's an interesting name, is it because your parents want you to be thrifty? ”

The official said: "The name was given by my grandfather to the little one, and as the adult said, he hoped that the little one would be thrifty and virtuous." ”

Qian Zijun said: "I wrote down the name, you go and get busy!" ”

The official said happily: "Yes! After a pause, he said: "The villain is in the side hall, and the adults are in need, just call the villain." After saying that, he bowed and retired. It can also be blamed that he will be happy, so that Lord Zhenfu can remember his name, although it can't ensure promotion and wealth, but at least there is a little more hope. In the future, if you go to Kaifeng Mansion to do business, you can also visit by today's events. What's more, he also knows who Qian Zijun's father is, as long as he can visit more, Qian Zijun can say a good word in front of his father, not to mention the promotion, it is not impossible to be promoted to the secretary of the political envoy department.

Li Feibai and Qian Zijun walked along the corridor and walked around the halls. There are all kinds of great gods in it, and every time they pass through a hall, both of them worship to the great gods.

Before coming to the two cypress trees, Qian Zijun had never seen such a big cypress tree, and sighed: "What a big ancient cypress." ”

Li Feibai said: "According to the people, it was planted by Wei Chigong himself. ”

Qian Zijun said: "No wonder it is so stout, it turns out that it is almost a thousand years old, but I am afraid that it has become fine." Let's bow down too! As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Gubai.

The two continued to walk back, and arrived at a huge pool made of blue bricks, and a stone tablet was erected in front of the pool, which was engraved with seven big characters of "Little Beihai, the source of Jishui". The spring water in the pond is tinkling, and the foot-long herring swims around. There were stone steps in the corner of the pool, Qian Zijun didn't let Li Feibai help him, and came to the water along the stone steps, took a handful and tasted it, and said, "It's so sweet water." Second brother, you can also come down and taste it. But he saw Li Fei holding the stone fence in his white hand and looking at the water in the pool in a daze. So, he walked up again and asked, "Second brother, what are you thinking?" ”

Li Feibai woke up and smiled embarrassedly: "Didn't think about anything? ”

Qian Zijun said: "If you don't think about anything, will you be in a daze?" Tell my brother what you're thinking! ”

Li Feibai was really thinking about things. He remembered that before he crossed it, there was a time when this pool was dredged, and several golden dragon jade slips put by the Song Dynasty were found inside. This is still after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, people are no longer feudal superstition, Jidu Temple has not been managed by a special person for a long time, I don't know how many people have bathed in this pool, touched the fish, and even found antiquities! It is conceivable that several dynasties before the Ming Dynasty did not know how many golden dragon jade slips had been put into this pool.

In the feudal dynasty, officials would not allow anyone to go to the divine pool to bathe and touch fish, even if some people secretly took a bath and fish, and found the golden dragon and jade Jane, they did not dare to take it away privately. After all, people at that time were very superstitious, and ordinary pieces of paper with written words did not dare to desecrate, let alone the golden dragon and jade slip that spoke directly to the gods. How many of these treasures should be in the pool at this time? If you catch it all, how much will it be worth? The value of gold and jade alone is not low, not to mention that it is still an antiquity.

However, he was just thinking about it, after all, no one necessarily bought these things. Even if he wants to play collecting, he doesn't know how to play collecting, and he can't find anyone how to sell it! He didn't believe in God originally, but he has believed in it since he crossed over, otherwise how to explain his crossing? Therefore, it is better not to make up your mind about things related to God, in case God is angry, it is not something that his small body can bear.

How can these thoughts be told to Qian Zijun? Li Feibai had no choice but to say stiffly: "I really didn't think about anything?" ”

Qian Zijun smiled: "If you don't say it, forget it!" ”

The two walked around the temple for a while, and saw that it was almost noon, when Wang Yaojian came and asked, "Two adults, are you eating in the temple?" ”

Qian Zijun also thought that he would find a restaurant to have a good drink with Li Feibai for a while, and it would be tomorrow's practice wine, so he thanked Wang Yaojian for his kindness and walked out of the temple with Li Feibai.

The two were about to ride a donkey back to the city for dinner, when Li Feibai saw a table on the right side of the temple gate, and the study room above was full of four treasures, and a girl was painting with her head down, and there was a stack of painted paintings next to her. In front of the painting hangs a blank piece of paper, on which is written, "Ten wen per painting, no counteroffer." "Eight words. The font is beautiful, very good-looking.
