When it came to the completion of the construction of various projects of the Baozhen Temple, the date of the third day of the first month was approaching, and the head of the Zhigen Dao invited Lin Xiaoqiang to carefully visit the renovated Baozhen Temple.

Lin Xiaoqiang's small yard still has some finishing work, corners, planting trees and flowers. As soon as Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing discussed, they said that there is no need to plant flowers and trees now, and we will come by ourselves next spring. The furniture in each room is also on the table, as for the covers, pots and pans, it is up to Lin Xiaoqiang to prepare it slowly. That's it inside the small yard, the moon gate can be locked, and there is a door made of steel pipe. Coming out through the moon gate is also a short passage like a verandah, under which are crape myrtle trees, and under the trees are flower beds. The verandah is directly opposite the two-story building, but the road to the verandah turns right into the dam. There is also a big dam in the big yard, and the floor is pavement-like tiles. There are also flower beds under the fence that separates it from the small courtyard. On the left hand of this dam is the two-story small building and the main hall arranged before and after. Lin Xiaoqiang is too lazy to look at the two-story small building, anyway, you live there, you arrange it yourself, Lin Xiaoqiang took a look at the main hall again, this time the layout is complete, the table, the curtain, the table circumference and everything are new, Lin Xiaoqiang is a fake Taoist, and there are many people who can't be named. He didn't understand it, but he knew it was good. In front of the main hall is a corridor that leads directly to the gate. On each side of the road are six circular flower stands with trees inside. The newly planted ones are all dry branches, and I don't know what kind of tree they are. The road is one brick higher than the dam on both sides, and it is paved with green bricks, and the lines are spelled out diagonally. In front of the left side of the main hall is the toilet, and in front of it is a row of gardens, planted with flowers and trees for shelter. Along with the walls there are gardens, wide and narrow, long and short. There are also several stone tables and stone benches. Following the corridor you will reach the foyer, which is built in the traditional style, with a foyer inside the main gate and a porter. When I got out of the gate and turned my head to look, it was pretty good. Even the plaque on the door is still covered with red cloth, and the couplets on both sides have not yet been hung.

Beyond the gate, there is also a relatively spacious dam. Twenty meters ahead of the dam is the road. This is because next door is people's territory, people are not as luxurious as Baozhenguan, every inch of land is expensive, along the street are built two-story store houses, the sidewalk is only four or five meters left. The gate equal to the Baozhen Temple is set back more than ten meters, leaving a dam. Looking at the street, the street is four lanes, and there is actually a bus stop built on the side of the dam of Baozhenguan, Lin Xiaoqiang went over to take a look, and there are two buses to pass from here in the future. Well, Director Ma, they did a really meticulous job.

Facing the gate to the left, it's all walls. Under the wall, there is an intermittent garden. There are flower windows in this section of the big courtyard on the wall, and the section in Lin Xiaoqiang's small courtyard is the whole wall. Walking along the wall, the road at the end of the wall is turned left, and the pedestrian road can go straight to the river, this area is now a large square, and the river is divided into three levels, which is mainly for flood control. The square has not yet been completed, but the area of the Bozhen Temple is finished. At the right hand of the wall, there is a small forest, and behind the forest is a bamboo forest. Go forward along the road ahead of the wall, there is a right turn road not far away, this turns, winding in the bamboo forest Taihu Lake stone, a path leads to a wall, the moon gate is open on this wall, the door is wooden, red paint, there is a small dam in it, ten square meters. Inside the dam is the old gate of the Baozhen Temple, that is, the gate of the shrine. After going around, they returned to Lin Xiaoqiang's small courtyard.

The repair is good, and Lin Xiaoqiang can't put forward any opinions. Be polite or polite, here and outside, all rely on the two senior brothers who are in charge and know the bottom of the book, and I didn't help much, you work hard, hard work.

Then we moved on to the ceremony for the next day. Lin Xiaoqiang said, Uncle Yang is like this now, I'm afraid he won't be able to move. I don't like to join in the fun, and besides, my image is limping, and going out is also unsightly. It's still the three of you who come forward, and I'll take care of Uncle Yang in the small courtyard. Who knew what Daoist Zhigen said, Uncle Yang's situation, naturally he didn't dare to move lightly. Senior Brother Kobayashi, you must participate. One is that you are an old man with this view, and you are familiar with many old believers, so we may not greet them well. If you don't show up, won't we be doves occupying the magpie's nest? Second, for this view, you are a great hero, we know that the cost of construction, that is all raised by you, it is reasonable, you don't participate in the major event of opening the mountain gate, then where do we have the face to participate? Third, although we have been in the city for nearly a year and have participated in some activities in Chang Gung Palace, in the end, we are from a small place, and we are afraid that such a big scene will not be able to support it. Whether it is those leaders or guests, greet and greet people, if they don't do anything well, I'm afraid that people will say that we have no courtesy. Senior Brother Xiaolin, you have seen a big scene, and this can only be maintained by letting you come forward.

What he said also makes sense, and Lin Xiaoqiang is not easy to refuse. After discussing it with Li Bing, he said, if you want to speak on stage, then you will be responsible for simply receiving the leaders, and then I will say hello to those old believers. After all, you are the one in charge, I am still an intern Taoist priest, I have come forward a lot, and people have to gossip.

After discussing this matter, knowing the immeasurable Heavenly Venerable of the Root Dao, he was about to leave. Daoist Zhiben suddenly spoke, and said Senior Brother, Senior Brother Kobayashi, I have one more thing that I want to discuss with the two of you.

What's up? It turned out that these three senior brothers were the last to become monks, and they were also halfway monks, and they all followed their master to practice after they were over thirty. I also had a small business and worked before I became a monk. Of the three, he is still a little economically conscious. used to be in the deep mountains, and he was in charge of money. When he arrived at the Baozhen Temple, the head of Zhigen Dao still let him manage the money. After staying in the city for a year, there is such a new view in front of him, he is in charge of the money bag, and the eating and drinking of people are all on his shoulders, and he also has some ideas about money.

Knowing the bottom of the Dao Chief, the three of us, the Taoist book has been transferred, and we will practice here until we die. But the three of me are not yet old, and there are few subsidies. Uncle Yang Lin Xiaoqiang said that it was okay, but their water and electricity should also be counted in the account of Guanli. This view is big, there are many places to spend money, and there are few inputs, so you have to live a careful life. He saw that several other views had some large and small side hustles, mainly relying on this to support the people of Yiguan, and he had been thinking, what can we do here, or a few more items every month. A few days ago, I saw the copper coins that Lin Xiaoqiang gave to the construction team, although I didn't look at it carefully, but the pattern was designed by them for Zhigen. And at the beginning, Lin Xiaoqiang also said that he would sell this as a souvenir. Zhidi said to Lin Xiaoqiang, can we take some out tomorrow, draw a talisman, give a gift to the guests present, and then sell some as well, which can be regarded as advertising.

Give, give, the copper that was originally made was used to sell. Well, if the price is good, you can also sell a few silver ones. Go and prepare the little wooden signs, draw the talismans, buy ropes and tassels, and I'll bring the silver and copper coins later, and you can get them quickly. But how much should I sell for at this price?

Of course, Lin Xiaoqiang has no experience. This thing should be sold as much as you want. I thought about it in my heart, my cost is calculated, one of the silver is more than 100, and the copper is more than 20 yuan, if it is to make money, the price is easy to manage, but when I did this, the idea was to sell this to support our refining magic weapon, and it is not okay to sell it cheaply. Li Bing had visited the temple before, and the souvenirs there were not cheap. In the end, Li Bing said, according to three times, buy 80 for copper, and 400 for silver. Lin Xiaoqiang said okay, just tell the chief of the Zhidi Dao, the price is set, I'll take some later, but I don't have time for this talisman thing, you three look at it and draw some first, and then talk about it later.

was still discussing how to make money, and there was a commotion at the gate. Follow the three veterans out to have a look, okay, the former grandmothers and aunts heard the news and came over in advance. Lin Xiaoqiang saw that there were many familiar faces inside, although they had a headache as soon as they opened their mouths, but they were still very kind. Lin Xiaoqiang doesn't have to pretend in front of them, he naturally looks like a god. As soon as I asked, everyone heard that there was something big going on tomorrow, so they came over in advance to ask if there was anything they could help with.

Lin Xiaoqiang thought about it, and if he didn't break the fast tomorrow, he would hold a ceremony. Just help maintain order. I also discussed with Zhigen Dao Changyi, on the fifteenth day of this month, we will have iftar, and everyone must come over to cheer at that time.

Sent away this group of women's army, Zhigen Daoist contacted Director Ma again to arrange tomorrow's venue, Lin Xiaoqiang didn't care, and didn't mention it when he went back to the small courtyard to practice.

Early the next morning, after taking care of Uncle Yang, Lin Xiaoqiang came over the big yard. When he came out, he specially locked the door, so that no idlers would wander around and come into the small courtyard. When I arrived at the front, the rostrum had already been set up and the guest seats had been arranged, although it was simple, but it was still decent. After a few words with Daoist Zhigen, it didn't take long for Director Ma to come over. This point is directly responsible for him, and today he is also half the master. At the gate to greet the leaders and guests, there are also believers from all walks of life, not to mention. The lively and lively ceremony began, and the leaders in charge of the city spoke, the guests spoke, and the governor of Zhigen spoke. It's all a manuscript that has been prepared a long time ago, and I just read it along. Then I have to give the statue some eyes, and everyone recommends it, he is a Taoist priest with the highest rank in the city, and it is counted as the ancestor of Ruotong, and this old man comes to open his eyes. This old way, eighty years up, can't walk, and comes in a wheelchair. There is one more mountain gate in this city, and I am happy to be happy, and I don't have the ability to really go up and paint it. It's just that he took the pen, trembled and dipped in ink, chanted a sutra to the idol for a while, raised his hand a few times, and handed over the pen to the little Taoist priest next to him to climb up the shelf on his behalf, and finished his work in the two eyes of the idol. The statues of Sanqing were all lit, the master of ceremonies shouted and fired firecrackers, and more than a dozen firecrackers were set off when they crackled, which were all submitted for approval, otherwise firecrackers were not allowed in the urban area.

At the end of the point, please move, and invite the leader to unveil the plaque for the Baozhen Temple. Everyone stood in front of the door, the master of ceremonies organized, the leader pulled the rope tied to the red cloth, and the plaque was exposed, and the three big characters of Baozhenguan were inscribed by the famous calligrapher of the city. Everyone applauded and the music played in unison. The music is played by a Taoist orchestra assembled from various Taoist temples. Everyone walked into the courtyard again, followed by the Taoist priests of various Taoist temples, plus the three Zhigen Taoist leaders, and did another ritual together. There has not been such a large Taoist ritual scene in the city for decades, which is very rare, and people have taken pictures and photographs. At the end of the ceremony, applause and curtain call, the gifts to the leaders and guests, that is, the combined copper coins and rune wooden plaques, were given, and everyone went back to their respective homes and found their mothers.

Lin Xiaoqiang found a place to sit in the main hall, and he didn't come out or speak, just watched them make a fuss. For a moment, it seemed to have an understanding. Now Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing are looking at these mortals, which is really no less than looking at them like ants. No matter how big a leader you are, no matter how rich a boss you are, but you are also mortal, Lin Xiaoqiang is now an immortal. Seeing the excitement of this world, I don't think it's funny. Maybe God thinks that's how we feel, right?

The crowd saw the female boss who lost her daughter. It's been a long time, but nothing has changed. But she was holding the hand of a girl next to her, and the girl was still a little interested. If you look closely, isn't this the girl we rescued? Looks like he's recovering well. Millions of people have taken it out to repair this view, but it's always bad to say hello. Li Bing is well versed in these ways of dealing with the world, and as soon as he told Lin Xiaoqiang, he went over to salute and say hello to others.

When the female boss saw Lin Xiaoqiang, she was very happy, her daughter's life-saving benefactor. After saying hello, I apologized, and I was so busy that I didn't have time to come and see you. Lin Xiaoqiang said, it's okay, and thank you for helping us repair such a beautiful new view. Everyone greeted politely and talked about her daughter's body. The landlady said, "That's what it is." Although she has basically recovered, the marriage has also been blown, and she is not in a good mood. I don't know what's wrong, but I still get sick occasionally, and the gods are chattering. The psychiatrist said it was a mental illness, and the neurologist said it was a mild form of epilepsy. Anyway, both sides are seeing a doctor, and both sides are being treated. This kid, hey, poor thing.

When Li Bing heard this, he couldn't help but use the technique of exploration to see that this girl, among the seven spirits, two of them were uncertain. Now Li Bing's exploration technique can basically reach the point of exploring Yin Qi and Yang Qi for mortals, although he has not yet learned the art of entering the soul, it is to dream, search for memories, erase memories, but it takes no effort to see the soul of a mortal. These two spirits are uncertain, or due to excessive fright, there is a problem with the nourishment of the soul, and the spirit himself is a little out of balance. It's a minor issue. Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing discussed, this is in charge, anyway, this is what we rescued, in order to save him, we all drilled holes in the ground. This is called fate. Lin Xiaoqiang asked what to do, Li Bing thought about it, turned around and went to the main hall, took a silver coin, and used a dotted pen and ink to draw a calming talisman on the back of the small wooden card. There was not much spirit injected, mainly using the principle of similar resonance to help her bring her soul back to the normal orbit. After finishing the painting, he walked out and quietly handed it to the female boss, saying that it would hang on her bedside and talk about it in a month. Also, don't spread the word about it, remember.

Lin Xiaoqiang's ability has been seen by others. Mothers and children, this is effective and ineffective. Lin Xiaoqiang said it mysteriously again, and then he was thanked, and at this time, the crowd that unveiled the plaque in front of him surged back, and Lin Xiaoqiang hid aside. When the ceremony was over, the leaders and guests all said goodbye before they stood up, stood at the door of the main hall and looked at it, hey, I actually saw Wu Qiong.

Wu Qiong was wearing civilian clothes, short hair, very neat, she looked like she had gained a little weight, and she also painted some makeup on her face. Wu Qiong was also looking around, and also saw Lin Xiaoqiang, beckoning, that means you come over, Lin Xiaoqiang had to limp over.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, sister, why are you here? I almost didn't recognize you when I saw you just now. ”

"You're here for a big gathering, thousands of people are here, what if something happens? Of course we're going to come and keep an eye on it. ”

"Oh, it's still a mission. I thought you came to see me. ”

"I came here on purpose. I'm looking for you for something. When I'm done with this work, I'll go to you later. Do you still live in a small courtyard or do you move to this building? ”

"I still live in the back courtyard, there, the round door is just to go in, and I'll open the door when the next person is gone."

"Okay, I'll come to you later."

Wu Qiong continued to stare at the crowd, and Lin Xiaoqiang walked back to the main hall. Some of these people walked, and some wanted to burn incense and pay homage. The three of them returned to the main hall to work. On the right hand side of the statue, a table was placed against the wall, and the head of Zhiben Dao sat next to it, and there were dozens of silver and copper coins on the table, and a signboard was erected on it: "Open the Light Magic Instrument", the words were good, and the heart of this business was too anxious. As soon as the ceremony was over, the stall was set up. Not to mention, there are really buys. This thing was sent to the leading guests just now, and everyone saw it. It's still copper, and there's silver here. Knowing the bottom of the road looks honest, anyway, a fixed price, love to buy or not, that is to say, this is a magic weapon that is enlightened in front of the gods, all painted with symbols, one hundred for copper, four hundred for silver. It's sterling silver. These silver coins and copper coins, the pattern is designed by themselves, the workmanship is fine, or the signboard of the Baozhen Temple, the people who worship God, although they buy more copper, buy less silver, Lin Xiaoqiang did not stand for a while, and sold more than a dozen. This business is easy to do, and he also increases the price! When I walked to the side, I remembered again that I wanted to tell him, I just took a silver and gave it away, and I told you, so that you wouldn't be able to pay the account. The chief of the Taoist said, no wonder I counted it several times, and the silver one was one short. I thought someone stole it. It doesn't matter if you take it, I'll subtract one from my account.

It's also boring to see the root of the Taoist doing business. The crowd was also thin, and Lin Xiaoqiang opened the moon door and returned to the small courtyard. On the wall next to the Moon Gate, there is a sign nailed by an unknown Taoist chief: "Qing Xiu Heavy Land, Do Not Enter", this word and the word buy silver coins are not written by one person, which is more beautiful. Li Bing is ashamed of himself, it seems that he has time to practice calligraphy with the three of them. When I returned to the temple, I saw that Uncle Yang was in good spirits, and he didn't close his eyes and work hard, so he told Uncle Yang about the previous situation. Not long after, I heard someone shouting at the Moon Gate: "Lin Xiaoqiang, I'm in!" ”
