Knowing that Xia Yuanding had passed the main examination and was qualified to participate in the government examination, the Wang family didn't mind congratulating him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two old men were chatting over there, all of this seemed to ignore him, you must know that he is the protagonist, why is there no treatment of the protagonist, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to make a speech.

"Dad, you think we might as well go to Lingquan Temple to burn incense and pray, you haven't been there for a long time!"

Wang Jitang suddenly had a good proposal, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said it, even Xia Jizu nodded and agreed without hesitation, and he also felt that it was time to go to the pillar incense.

To say that Xia Yuanding doesn't believe in these, it is his own ability to be admitted, and if he doesn't study, it is useless to burn incense and pray for blessings every day.

However, this Lingquan Temple, he has the impression that during the Qingming Festival last year, the ancestral tomb of the Xia family was on the mountain next to Lingquan Mountain, and from a distance, the temple of Lingquan Temple was on the top of the mountain, which was very eye-catching.

"Grandpa, can I come along?"

"This ......"

Wang Maohong said at this time: "Let Yuan Ding go with him, since the exams have passed, it will not be a moment and a half."

"Okay, Yuan Ding can go, Yuan Jie will stay in the guest room in the afternoon to read a book, don't be distracted!" Wang Maohong's words still worked, and Xia Jizu was relieved.

Look, if you do well in the exam, you can wander freely, and if you don't do well in the exam, you can only continue to work hard. As for Xia Yuantong, who did even worse in the exam, why is he at ease at the moment, he can only say that poverty should not be compared with wealth.

After arranging the people in the inn, they set off in the afternoon.

It was none other than Wang Jitang himself, and as soon as the little whip sounded in the air, the carriage moved.

In the carriage, Xia Yuanding was sitting opposite Wang Jinxuan, he didn't understand, why did she follow, he knew it was so, why did he bother himself, he had to go.

At this time, a strange picture appeared, Xia Jizu and Wang Maohong were talking and laughing, but Xia Yuanding and Wang Jinxuan were weirdly not talking.

Both of them sat upright, looking at each other as if they were competing. In the end, Xia Yuanding surrendered and admitted defeat, not because she was afraid, but because there were stars in her eyes, which would make people fall unconsciously, which was really a terrible problem.

"If I am fortunate enough to read Zhao Gongming's article, I will be satisfied!"

"Yes, its text is unbridled, chic, like a waterfall pouring down, people can hear its voice first, it is really wonderful!"

Xia Yuanding didn't know which guy his grandfather was touting at the moment, his eyebrows were dancing, could it be that person's article was really so good.

Fortunately, there is always a time limit for touting, and when the car arrives in front of the mountain, you don't have to listen like this.

"Dad, Uncle Xia, we're at the foot of the mountain, and then we can only walk up the mountain!" Hearing Wang Jitang's words, several people in the car got out of the car.

"Brother Fengxian, let's go, no matter how old you are, you won't be able to climb the mountain."

"That's you, I'm still early!" Xia Jizu is still a person who does not accept old age.

When it was time to climb the mountain, Wang Jinxuan was obviously honest, her hand was tightly held by Wang Jitang, and she didn't dare to let go for a moment.

By the way, the carriage, just like that, is it not afraid of being stolen? Last time, when they came to worship their ancestors, the ox cart was watched, and the carriage was left like this, is it safe?

The road to Lingquan Temple is all a step paved with bluestone, and pedestrians going up the hill walk to the right, and the steps are wide enough to accommodate four or five people side by side.

At this moment, there are not only pedestrians going up the mountain, but also those who have returned their wish to go down the mountain to go home. Among the pedestrians, men and women, old and young, women and children, young and strong men, rich and poor, this is the equality of all beings that the temple has always preached.

After walking for a while, the steps meet the gentle place, the long and winding mountain road, there are many such designs, the purpose is to let pedestrians after walking for a while, can take a break here, stop to look at the scenery, look back at the road they have walked, of course, a better place will build a pavilion next to it.

After stopping, Jinxuan, who had always been a quiet girl, pointed to the branch and said, "Dad, look, there is a little monkey!" ”

Xia Yuanding's eyes were also attracted, and he found a little monkey playing on a branch, a very dangerous action, but the monkey was extremely dexterous, worthy of being the smarter among primates.

I didn't expect there to be monkeys here, and I wasn't scared when I saw people, those who should be playing are still playing, and those who should eat are eating by themselves.

"What's so nice about this, haven't you seen monkeys who can juggle, these are wild monkeys, disobedient!

Wang Jinxuan nodded as if she didn't understand, she had to continue to hurry, she could only look back a few more times.

Lingquan Mountain, Lingquan Temple, are named because there is a spiritual spring on the mountain, it is said that if you drink a mouthful of spiritual spring water, you will be the champion in the imperial examination in the coming year!

But according to the known information, since the founding of Daning, Sanhe County has never produced a champion, and I don't know how this word spread, is it because someone in the previous dynasty passed the exam, everything is unknown.

Since I came to Lingquan Mountain, I can't say anything if I don't drink a sip of Lingquan water, but fortunately, the current spring has been turned into a gossip well. On the top of this well, a four-corner pavilion was also built, and an inscription was erected next to the pavilion, in addition to the word "Lingquan", there was also a poem written by someone.

As for the content of the poem, it is very ordinary, but to get such treatment, it seems that the identity of the person who wrote the poem is not ordinary, at least he has been an official, otherwise the reader will not accept it first, why can you be blind.

Xia Yuanding also took a sip of cool spring water, which was a little sweet, it was very delicious, but as for other feelings, there was really no.

Of course, they didn't forget what they were here for, to go to the main hall to offer incense.

The merit box was in a conspicuous place, and Xia Jizu and Wang Maohong were not stingy and gave alms of sesame oil money. Scholars have a natural pursuit of the Tao, whether they enter or retreat, they are all in line with the trajectory of the Tao.

There are a few futons in front of the statue, and you just kneel and beg here for whatever you want, and then after the incense is applied, all the procedures are over.

First of all, Xia Yuanding watched his grandfather finish the incense very religiously, one after another, he thought that there was nothing wrong with him, but who knew that it was not like this.

At the request of his grandfather, Xia Yuanding was also very reluctant to go to the incense.

"Jinxuan go too!" Under Wang Jitang's soft call, Wang Jinxuan knelt on the futon without twisting.

Xia Yuanding looked at the kneeling person next to him, he had already begun to worship, and he also hurried up and bowed three times to the statue.

"The wish has been fulfilled, shall we take a break, or shall we go down the mountain here?" Xia Jizu asked.

"Why worry, I've heard that the Taoist of Lingquan Temple is extremely knowledgeable, why don't we go to the meeting for a while?"

"It's still early, I'm not in a hurry, but I'm afraid that the Taoist chief is very busy, so I'm afraid it's not good to disturb rashly!"

"Don't worry about this, Brother Fengxian, I'm an old acquaintance with this Qi Dao Chief, he won't mind!"

"I see, why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"This Qi Dao Chief is a strange person, he once told me not to mention him more in front of people, Brother Feng Xian should not be surprised!"

"Where, outsiders, it is good to be quiet and inactive."

I thought I could go, but why did a Qi Dao chief emerge again, there are more and more people Xia Yuanding doesn't know. Looking at the people around him, Xia Yuanding remembered the scene of the two kneeling together just now, as if some conspiracy had succeeded, there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't care about some details.

"Your Taoist is in the temple at this moment?" Wang Maohong asked a young Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest asked, "Do you have something to see the Taoist chief?" ”

Wang Maohong replied: "I am your old friend of the Taoist elder, and I am here today to pay a visit!" ”

The Taoist priest said: "That is the case, please follow me to the backyard, the Taoist chief is free!" ”

So, Xia Yuanding followed him to the backyard.

After coming to the temple for a long time, Xia Yuanding was most impressed by the pines and cypresses that were at least hundreds of years old.

Led to a special waiting room, the Taoist priest left, saying that he was going to ask the Taoist chief to come over and ask a few people to wait for a while.

The environment of this room is elegant, the scenery on the mountain outside the window, the grass curtain is half rolled, and the general scriptures are opened on the small table, sandalwood is rising, white smoke is floating and scattering, and a portrait of the patriarch is hung on the wall behind the main seat.

After a while, Xia Yuanding also heard footsteps, and it seemed that the Qi Dao Leader was coming!
