Chapter 8 The old Taoist priest who grabbed the roast chicken to eat

The location of the Laojun Temple is on an inconspicuous hill outside Luoyang City, which did not exist before. After Li Tang seized the world, he claimed to be Li Er's descendant everywhere. After Li Shimin came to power, he renamed Jingshi Mountain in Luoyang as Laojun Mountain, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build many temples on the mountain, which became the place where the Li family worshiped their ancestors.

Later, during the Wu Zetian period, Buddhism flourished. The Taoist priests on Laojun Mountain are very angry that all the people are participating in the Buddha, but the White Horse Temple is on the edge of Luoyang City, and it is very convenient to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Therefore, in order to win over pilgrims, a group of bulls resolutely built a temple outside Luoyang City, which can be regarded as a Beijing office with Tang Dynasty characteristics.

The incense of the Laojun Temple outside Luoyang has always been good, because the children of the clan who stayed in Luoyang in the past thought that the Laojun Mountain Road was far away and far away from the world, and no one wanted to go to serve in front of the ancestors. The completion of the Laojun Temple has left those clan children with no excuse, and just outside Luoyang City, the clan children will burn incense and pray in front of their ancestors from time to time, in order to hope that the Li family will prosper forever. But this is the Li family's own hard rubbing on Taishang Laojun, whether Taishang Laojun recognizes this group of unscrupulous descendants or not.

Liu Hao came a little late, and when he came in, Laojun's temple was bustling with people, and it felt like a temple fair in later generations. It's just that everyone behaves elegantly and looks solemn, for fear of upsetting the ancestor of the Li family. Liu Hao followed the prompts of the Taoist priest in the temple and worshiped this god and that god, and Liu San followed behind him, constantly repeating the action of taking out money.

After a trip, both of them were a little out of breath, and Liu San had less than half of the money he carried. Liu San whispered to Liu Hao: "Young master, it's almost, right?" It's not enough to worship money anymore. So many people worship, ask Lao Jun to bless, can Lao Jun be busy? ”

Liu Hao smiled: "Don't worry about it." How can we ordinary people guess the thoughts of the gods? It's just that this fairy day is estimated to be difficult enough, and even our money can be seen. ”

Liu San smacked his lips: "Didn't the young master say that mosquito legs are also meat, and they add up to a lot." By the way, you are in charge of food here, are you hungry young master? ”

The two of them squeezed around and finally found a place to eat, a small courtyard, which was completely impossible to squeeze into.

Several Taoist priests stood at the door, collecting money and urging the people inside to come out quickly, so as to make room for the people behind.

Liu Hao listened to the people next to him very reverently saying that the food inside was given by Lao Jun, and he lived a long life of 100 years, so when he went in later, he not only wanted to eat it himself, but also took some away for his family, so that he could be immortal.

Liu Hao pursed his lips, where did he get so much immortal energy, at most he was contaminated with some infectious diseases.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Liu Hao took Liu San and went to the backyard. Anyway, you can't eat it, so it's better to walk around and see if there is anything else.

Compared with the crowds in the front yard, the backyard is much quieter. The two of them walked along the stone-paved road, and before they knew it, they had reached the back mountain. Liu San untied the small burden on his body and smiled: "Fortunately, I am prepared, so that the young master will not go hungry." ”

Then Liu Hao saw that the goods pulled out a roast chicken from the baggage.

Liu Hao laughed, stretched out his hand and unscrewed a chicken leg: "In this year, you have to bring your own dry food to burn incense on the mountain." ”

As he was talking, a gray shadow flashed past him, Liu Hao was stunned for a moment, only to find that an old Taoist priest was standing next to him at some point, holding the roast chicken that Liu Sangang held in his hand and gnawing wildly.

Liu San licked the remaining meat residue on his hand, and shouted angrily at the Taoist priest: "Hey! It's not good to rob someone else of food in broad daylight, right? How can you be so unreasonable? ”

Liu Hao was holding the chicken leg in his hand, and he was already stunned by the old Taoist priest's appearance, and after a while, a roast chicken was almost finished by him. But that's not the point, the point is, he didn't spit out a single bone. Liu Hao hiccuped, watching him eat, he was a little full.

Liu Hao also handed him the chicken leg in his hand, and Liu Hao felt that it would be a great sin if he didn't give it to him.

The old Taoist priest didn't care about Liu San's sarcasm, and didn't wipe his mouth until he finished eating and said, "Little doll, it's so delicious, where did you buy it?" ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced up at Liu Hao: "Huh? Your little doll looks strange, it's actually a life and death situation. Weird! ”

One sentence made Liu Hao feel a little weak, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This Taoist chief, I don't know what this life and death situation means?" ”

The old Taoist priest didn't answer Liu Hao's words, walked to Liu Hao's side and looked at his face seriously, and then grabbed Liu Hao's hand with his oily hand and looked at Liu Hao's palmistry: "It's really weird!" There is longevity in early death, and there is great wealth and wealth in poverty, you little baby, it is really incomprehensible. ”

Liu Hao was nervous for a while: This old guy can't see that he is a descendant who has crossed over. Immediately said: "How can there be any wealth, the kid is just the son of a businessman, Wen can't get fame, and Wu can't go into battle to kill the enemy." Where does the wealth come from? ”

The old Taoist priest didn't say a word, and looked at Liu San again: "You little baby is a subordinate, but you also have the appearance of a general." The old way has not asked about the world for many years, how can I meet some strange people today? ”

After speaking, the old Taoist priest shook his head and left. Liu Hao and Liu San were left looking at each other. What does this old man mean? snatched their roast chicken, leaving behind a bunch of inexplicable words.

Liu San carried a small burden and said: "I guess I felt embarrassed to rob our roast chicken, and then said this." ”

Is that really the case? Liu Hao himself didn't know. In his previous life, he was a staunch atheist, but in the Tang Dynasty, the firmness in his heart was completely shattered. If atheism is right, then how can you stand on the land of the Tang Dynasty?

The two of them were hungry, and their desire to worship God was gone, and if they didn't go home to eat something, they were afraid that someone else would burn incense for them.

Back home, Ling'er was frightened by Liu Hao's appearance: "Young master, what's wrong with you?" There is food for worship, why did you come back hungry? ”

Liu Hao spit out a bone: "Don't mention worship God to me, I almost didn't have enough money with so much money, and I almost crushed the carriage there." There are also places to eat that can't be squeezed in at all, and there are crowds of people. ”

Ling'er grinned: "Fortunately, that kind of place is not allowed to bring female dependents, otherwise I would have starved with it." ”

Liu Hao glanced at Ling'er, despising this kind of schadenfreude the most.

After eating and drinking, Liu Hao lay on the couch, and Ling'er waited carefully on the side.

"Ling'er, do you know how to play a kite?"

"Yes, there are teachers in the workshop."

"I'm going to pick it up and sing you a song."

Ling'er's eyes flickered and looked at Liu Hao: "What did you say, young master?" You want to sing me a little tune? I've been in the church for more than ten years, and you actually sang to me・・・・・・ young master, you're bad!" ”

Liu Hao withdrew his right hand that was in close contact with Ling'er's buttocks just now: "You don't believe my words, why don't you hurry up and hug me, believe it or not, and beat you?" ”

Liu Hao stroked the strings of the guzheng with both hands, and couldn't help but think of the guitar in his heart. Now it would be nice to be able to make a guitar, and the emotion is still straightforward.

It's going to be the New Year, and I think of every New Year in my previous life, Liu Hao would rush back to his hometown to accompany his parents, make dumplings together, and paste couplets together. Thinking of this, Liu Hao felt sad for a while, afraid that he would never be able to return to the home by the Yellow River in his previous life in this life. I don't know what my parents are doing now, have you posted it? Did you buy firecrackers? Is the dumpling stuffing chopped well?

Once the mind is opened, it can never be taken back. In the future, he was alone in the Tang Dynasty, and he could only carry everything by himself, and he could no longer hide under the wings of his family like before.

"Young master, what's wrong with you? Homesick? Ling'er pushed Liu Hao, whose eyes were a little red, wanting to comfort him but didn't know what to say.

Liu Hao rubbed his face, plucked the chords, and then sang:

Walking by the river at sunset, looking up at the sky,

The smoke wafted homesickness.

How many times have I missed you in the morning and evening,

The clear water of the river is my tears.

The moonlight outside the window reflects my face,

I want to know if my relatives in my hometown are healthy.

Hold a cup of country wine to accompany you,

Whether you're in a foreign country or a distant land.

・・・・・・

After singing a song, Liu Hao didn't know when there were tears in his eyes. Ling'er sat beside Liu Hao and gently hugged his head in his arms: "Young master, will Ling'er accompany you in the future?" I know I don't have rules, and I don't make you unhappy all day long. In the future, Ling'er will be obedient and no longer cause trouble for the young master. ”

Liu Hao arched in Ling'er's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "** taste." ”

Ling'er pushed Liu Hao away: "Young master, you are so bad!" ”

Liu Hao hugged Ling'er's thin waist: "Ling'er, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, do you have any New Year's wishes?" ”

Ling'er pillowed Liu Hao's thigh: "Well・・・・・・ I hope the young master can make a lot of money, I hope the young master will not drive Ling'er away, I hope that the young master's wife will not bully Ling'er, and finally I hope to eat a lot of delicious food." Hee-hee・・・・・・"

Liu Hao smiled: "This is too simple, right?" ”

Ling'er took Liu Hao's big hand away from his body, twisted his body and said, "What is the young master's New Year's wish?" ”

Liu Hao lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said with a smile: "Earn money, earn a lot of money." Then marry a large group of wives, preferably a princess and come back. Hey hey・・・・・・"

Ling'er looked at Liu Hao with bright eyes: "The young master is such a capable person, he should marry the two." ”

Liu Hao listened to the black lines on his head, could it be that the princesses of the Tang Dynasty were wholesale in bundles? I haven't heard of who married two princesses together in history, and who came, first married one and died, and then married another.

Liu Hao was thinking about it, and Ling'er suddenly said: "The young master can't marry the princess, you will suffer." ”

Liu Hao looked at her curiously: "What do you mean?" ”

Ling'er sat up and said seriously: "Marrying a princess is actually a princess marrying you, you will live in the princess's mansion without any freedom." And when you want to have sex, you must be arranged by the old mother in the princess's house, and she lets you have sex, otherwise you can't touch the princess. There are also rules at the time that you can't stay with the princess at night. I have to say hello to the princess every morning, and I can't take a concubine yet・・・・・・"

Liu Hao opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect that marrying a princess would have to pay so much attention.
