Chapter 6 Goodbye Bai Chongwen

After sending off the old immortal's house, the three of them packed up their things and prepared to leave. Dong Li stood in the courtyard and stretched, Zhuang Zhengde looked at the state of his cousin-in-law Dong Li, it didn't look like three mouthfuls of a bowl of wine.

Dong Li turned her head and smiled at Zhuang Zhengde, "Little fat brother, what's wrong." Did you let people cook it too? Haha, isn't it strange why my cousin didn't get drunk? I'm going to tell you about it right here. Our old immortal family will take it away after eating and drinking. What remained in my cousin's stomach was just a few mouthfuls of tasteless water. There's nothing strange about it, and you won't be surprised if you see more in the future. ”

Listening to these words, Zhuang Zhengde, who listened to it, felt that the world was turned upside down again, this old immortal family was on his body, and his feelings were like offerings on the grave? Zhuang Zhengde was naughty when he was a child, and he also followed his friends to other people's graves in broad daylight to steal the tributes they gave to their ancestors. In retrospect, that taste is really like chewing wax, and the feelings of eating and drinking can still be received underneath?

Xie Cong lifted a basket of paper work and handed it to Zhuang Zhengde, "Cousin, I instruct you to say two words, from now on, go out to the Land Temple, you must not squint, you can't look back, you can't talk, you can't spit on the way, until I tell you it's done." Got it? ”

Zhuang Zhengde was a little reluctant, how could he have given himself all this drudgery. With a bitter gourd face, he nodded helplessly.

In this way, Xie Cong took the lead, Zhuang Zhengde was in the middle of the room, and Dong Li was behind. A group of three people walked to the land temple in the east of the county, Zhuang Zhengde was bored, and suddenly remembered that Mr. Bai had lived in the land temple recently. I don't know if Mr. Bai will laugh when he sees Zhuang Zhengde's appearance. There are also little boys and little pugs, I don't know if little pugs still remember the little feud in their hearts that said it was going to eat people?

The area of Qinhuang County is not large, and the three of them walked for less than two quarters of an hour and arrived at the Qinhuang Earth Temple.

Zhuang Zhengde hadn't been to the Land Temple much before, after all, he didn't have much to do with the Land Lord. It's just that the old county Ling Zhuang Yun often comes, and when the year is bad, his father will come here to worship, praying for a land to bless Qinhuang County to be able to have good weather and good weather.

The land temple occupies a small area, with a small wall, and a small courtyard after entering the door. There is also a side door on the side, and Mr. Bai and his party live behind the temple. The temple is also very simple, and the hut in the middle is about two people high, and it is dedicated to an old man in yellow clothes, white beard, and red face. Zhuang Zhengde had a very cordial feeling after seeing it, and the old man looked at the visitor with a smile and a vivid expression. made Zhuang Zhengde feel as if the land lord would get up and walk out at any time.

The head of the temple is written with the four big characters of "Fu Zhengshen", and the upper link: there is a temple and no monk sweeping the ground; Downlink: Incense is more candles and less moon lights. The font is strong and powerful, full of righteousness.

After entering the courtyard, Xie Cong stopped and motioned for Zhuang Zhengde and Dong Li to kneel together. After kneeling, Xie Cong had words in his mouth, Zhuang Zhengde felt that he might be a little behind his ears in the past two days, and every time his cousin and sister-in-law read words, Zhuang Zhengde couldn't hear what he was saying.

After three prostrations, the three got up. Xie Cong took a basket of paper jobs from Zhuang Zhengde's hand, steadily piled up a small mountain bag, and fell gently into the courtyard. I borrowed one of the pieces of yellow paper and lit it with an incense candle in front of the temple. It didn't take much effort, and this pile of gold ingots, white coins, and yellow paper money was burned clean.

Zhuang Zhengde stood aside and waved his hand, dispersing the fireworks and ashes in front of his face, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a small whirlwind of ashes on the ground, Zhuang Zhengde's eyes widened and he was very surprised. In a few moments, the ground was scraped clean! The ashes scattered outside the temple gates.

Zhuang Zhengde's scalp was numb when he watched this scene, and it was clear that he had not blown any wind along the way. Even when the ashes were rolled up, I didn't hear the rustle of the leaves on the big tree outside the temple being blown by the wind.

Xie Cong saw Zhuang Zhengde stunned and pulled it. Then the three of them knocked three times in front of the land lord, and after getting up, Xie Cong pulled Zhuang Zhengde and Dong Li to walk outside the temple gate. Zhuang Zhengde wanted to look back, but was stopped by Xie Cong again.

After walking to the temple gate, Xie Cong patted Zhuang Zhengde's shoulders downward, and patted the middle of his back. signaled that Zhuang Zhengde could speak.

Zhuang Zhengde will have a stomach full of questions, and his words are like a cannon, "My mother, what's the situation, cousin, why is this just a small whirlwind coming suddenly, and it didn't blow just now." I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. “

When Dong Li heard Zhuang Zhengde's timid appearance, she couldn't help but hold her stomach and laugh for a long time, "Oh, my stupid cousin, come to my cousin-in-law to explain to you." “

"Let's go out of the customs disciples, after entering the customs, as long as you pass by the prefectures and counties, you must greet the local land lord. This is one of them. “

"The second nun is that every time he finishes going out, he must also come to the land temple to report to the land lord. The old immortal family is the vanguard in the head, and this land lord is the logistics officer who sweeps the battlefield at the end. “

"If there is no such small whirlwind today, it means that the land master can't take care of the finishing matters, and it means that we haven't done this well."

"Collect money from people and eliminate disasters with people. The land lord is also like this, but what he receives is the incense we offered, which is also a matter of accumulating merit for him. “

"Of course, there is also a situation that the land lord has not received. Then the problem is serious, which means that we have not done our business well, and the disease has not been cleaned up. And then there is this disease, which is already something that our disciples can't solve. “

Zhuang Zhengde squatted under the tree at the entrance of the temple, while listening, he carefully digested the things that his cousin-in-law said, as if he understood, but he didn't seem to understand, "Cousin-in-law, what is this matter that our disciples can't solve?" “

Dong Li raised her hand and fanned it coolly, "I haven't encountered this unsolvable thing for the time being." In case you have an affair in the future, I'll ask your cousin to write to you. “

"Cousin-in-law, and more, what does this land lord look like? Isn't it the same as the statue here? Zhuang Zhengde suddenly remembered that the statue of the land lord he saw just now was kind and amiable.

Xie Cong picked up the conversation on the side, "This land is different, and it is different from place to place. Some are people who were good people during their lifetimes, and some were local county ordinances that benefited one party during their lifetimes, and you can also see a rough idea from the couplets at the door. You see what is written here is that there is a temple without wind and monks sweeping the floor, and there are more incense candles and less moons to light the lamp. Qin Huangdi Ye should have been a lonely scholar during his lifetime, not seeking fame, but just focusing on learning. Accumulate virtue and promote goodness, and only after his death was he named the lord of the land. Well, that's it. “

Dong Li rolled her eyes fiercely on the side, "My mother, my brother brother, don't talk about calves." With the little ink in your stomach, you can still guess the meaning of the couplet, so don't let your cousin laugh at you. “

Zhuang Zhengde originally listened to what his cousin Xie Cong said, but then when he heard his cousin-in-law Dong Li's words, he realized that his cousin had been talking nonsense for a long time, and he couldn't help laughing.

Zhuang Zhengde listened to the two people who loved each other, and they were very envious. When he was in Taizhou Mansion, Zhuang Zhengde rarely stayed alone, as long as he woke up, he had to go out. It doesn't matter if you're looking for a friend, or if you're looking for a good friend. Even if it is to find a teahouse to sit and listen to others brag and fart, in Zhuang Zhengde's world, being alone is the most unbearable thing.

Only now that I think about it carefully, Zhuang Zhengde understands that only truly successful people can reach the realm of having temples and no monks. Only those who can endure loneliness and loneliness will not be fascinated by those ups and downs, and can avoid all kinds of temptations on the road of growth and lead to success.

While Zhuang Zhengde and the three of them were talking, an old man and a young man came from a distance, and there was a little pug behind his buttocks. Zhuang Zhengde looked at it, and it turned out that Mr. Bai and the little boy were back.

Zhuang Zhengde stepped forward to say hello, turned his head and introduced the two behind him to Mr. Bai, "Hello Mr. Bai, these two are my cousin Xie Cong and cousin-in-law Dong Li." We just ran some business in this land temple, and we thought about finding out if you were there. ”

Mr. Bai clasped his fists and saluted the two people not far behind Zhuang Zhengde, "Two little friends." The little boy beside him also reluctantly made a gesture to the three of them.

Little Pug walked on four small short legs, staggered to Zhuang Zhengde's feet, raised his head and sniffed for a long time, and snorted in his nose. Obviously, I smelled the smell of acquaintances, but I didn't have a little bit of the aroma of that day today. Wangwang twice, it can be regarded as a greeting.

As soon as Xie Cong and Dong Li saw Mr. Bai approaching, they hurriedly prepared to make a big salute. This scene was seen by Mr. Bai, and he waved his hand below without a trace.

Xie Cong and Dong Li saw the old gentleman's gesture and hurriedly closed up. The rules and regulations were made.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to stand here after the greetings, let's go into the house and sit down. I happened to be here today to chat with my old man. After Mr. Bai finished speaking, he walked ahead, led the group into the Land Temple again, and entered through the side door.

It turns out that there is another world in the backyard of this land temple, there is a wing room in the east and west and south, the main body of the three rooms is together, the area is about the same as that of ordinary people's homes, there are flowers and plants in the four corners of the courtyard, it seems that someone takes care of it all the year round, and there is a stone table and a small stool in the courtyard for people to sit. At the door, write B, C, and D of each house. It seems that it is also for people who come and go from the south to rest.

Zhuang Zhengde felt that the person who repaired the temple was also a wonderful word, the land lord not only kept one side safe, but also sheltered pedestrians. In case of wind, frost, rain and snow, it can also allow passers-by to avoid the wind. It is indeed worthy of the four big words of "good fortune and righteousness".

Mr. Bai sat down with his back to the south, and Zhuang Zhengde and the three of them also sat down in turn. The little boy was playful, and he ran back and forth with the little pug, and Mr. Bai had a smile on his face.

Mr. Bai looked back at Zhuang Zhengde and asked, "The three of you are here to do business?" Can you talk about it, it also opened the eyes of my old man. ”

Zhuang Zhengde was about to answer Mr. Bai with a clue, and his cousin Xie Cong spoke first, "Mr. Bai said that he laughed, since you always want to hear it, then I will tell you about it." ”

"My wife Dong Li and I are disciples of the Northeast. On the order of the old immortal family, he went to the Guannai to practice medicine, and specialized in seeing the diseases that Langzhong could not see. This time I went to Qinhuang County, and the old county Ling Zhuangyun, that is, my uncle-in-law, wrote to tell me that there was a young woman who was ill and could not be cured after seeing Sifang Langzhong. Let's take a look at her. ”

Dong Li also echoed on the side, which made Zhuang Zhengde strange that the two people who usually hang their children look a little restrained?
