Chapter 17 The Strongman of the Public Gate

On the fifth day of October, it was cloudy and drizzling

The drizzle was falling, and three donkeys carried three men wearing hats into Xiaohe Village, found the hotel, wiped a handful of rainwater, and came down with the reins of the donkeys.

The boss of the hotel hurriedly went up and shouted: "There is a stove inside, and the three guest officers are baking the fire." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and led the donkey over, and there were several wooden stakes under the eaves, all of which were tied to the donkey, and he instructed the men to quickly take the three to find a table.

The fire was blazing, and a stream of heating sprayed out, and the clothes that were a little wet gradually dried out, and the leader put down the hat and said: "Three bowls of rice wine, to be hot, and then some beef and vegetables!"

"Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment!" the boss came back with a donkey, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said.

The three of them all sat down, the middle one was about forty years old, with a Chinese face, a solemn face with a hint of murder, and his eyebrows were righteous.

The left and right also have some murderous spirit, it is the new chief Shen Zhengzhi, and the two public tolerances.

After a while, the boss took out four kinds of vegetables, a plate of beef, put them on the table, and scalded the wine to sift them, and saw Shen Zhengcheng say straightforwardly: "Two brothers, on official duty, you can't drink too much, one bowl and one person, warm your body." ”

These two are with a long time tolerance, got up and thanked: "Don't worry, my lord, we understand that we won't make a mistake." ”

Shen Zhengzhi smiled and said, "You don't have to say that, please eat and drink." ”

At this time, although it was drizzling, I could still see the endless comings and goings of people, some carrying bricks and wood, all the way.

An old man with a white beard and hair was still commanding in the rain.

Shen Zhengzhi's heart moved, and he asked the shopkeeper: "It's raining, why is this?"

Seeing that the three of them were a little slaughtered, the shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Three guest officers, this is going up to the Taoist Temple!"

"Is it the Great Yanguan?"

"Yes, there is this Taoist temple in our village, a few years ago, the old master passed away, no one presided over it, and a large area of long grass and thorns grew, but now the young master has passed the Taoist exam, and he has rebuilt with money, and he is full of food, and the man has ten cents a day, and everyone has gone up to help!" said the shopkeeper with a smile, obviously very happy.

The three of them glanced at each other, devoured it at the moment, paid after eating, and followed all the way.

The mountain of Dayan Temple is not high, just about 200 meters, climb the steps up, only to see that at the steps, there are many women and children, all busy shoveling the thick hay up and down the steps and in the gaps, and the gaps are rammed flat.

Although the women and children were not paid, they were full of food, and each of them had a piece of fat, and everyone was very happy at the moment.

Shen Zhengzhi went all the way up and looked at the Taoist temple, the specifications of this Taoist temple are not large, the bricks and timber carried by one side have accumulated on the ground, and the lime mortar is still steaming.

The mountain gate and the viewing wall are only half repaired, but in front of the main hall, there is an incense tripod, and there are already many people who work while entering the incense, so that the cigarette smoke lingers.

Shen Zhengzhi's eyes narrowed, swept and looked, and saw that the men were working, and it was women and children who worshiped incense in their free time, and occasionally saw a middle-aged man, who saw that the clothes were the landlord of the village, and he knelt down, Shen Zhengzhi stepped forward and stopped: "This big brother, come to donate incense money?"

The middle-aged man looked at Shen Zhengzhi and saw that he was wearing a half-new and old clothes, and his bearing was calm, and he couldn't eat it, so he said, "Yes, are you passing by?"

Shen Zheng pointed straight to the hall and asked, "Spirit?"

"Hey, don't despise God!" the middle-aged man said: "Originally, when the old Guan Lord was here, it was very effective, but then the old Guan Master was old, and he didn't open the door very much, so he had less contacts. ”

Shen Zheng listened to it, and secretly understood in his heart that the foundation of Dayan Guan here is not small, and said with a smile: "I see, I will also ask for incense." ”

After Shen Zhengzhi finished speaking, he really put on a pillar of incense, took a few steps, and suddenly, his eyes froze.

I saw a little farther away, a young man came out of it and was greeting many people.

The young man was fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a black lacquered wooden crown, wearing a white wide-sleeved robe, with long sleeves, his face was like a bright moon, his eyebrows were flying, and a kind of bearing came out, and he was suddenly surprised.

At this time, many villagers who came to help, seeing such an extraordinary master, they were immediately in awe, and they subconsciously relaxed their steps when they walked.

There are many people in the villagers who are blessed by Xie Cheng, occasionally have diseases, go to the Great Yan View to seek medicine, come back and take it can be better, every year there are people on the festival to worship God, Xie Cheng has also seen a few Feng Shui for this village, most of the people have received Xie Cheng's grace to some extent, is to respect the Great Yan Temple.

A few years ago, I heard that Xie Cheng died, and this connection faded, but the villagers were conservative, and their awe of the Taoist priest still remained in their hearts.

Wang Cunye saw that these villagers were still in awe of him, and it was obvious that Xie Cheng and Yu Hui were still alive, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Stretching out his hand and pointing at a villager, he said, "Come here, I have something to ask you." ”

The villager was stunned, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked up to Wang Cunye, saluted him, and Wang Cunye accepted it calmly.

After saluting, the villager said, "I've seen the Taoist, but I don't know what the chief told me?"

Wang Cunye saw that the man's speech in this village was not smooth, and his language was vulgar, so he didn't care, and most of the villagers were like this.

Directly to the villagers, he commanded, "You go and tell the village chief, and notify each family, just say that I thank the villagers and elders for their help, so after today's busy, you can come here to find me, if there are any illnesses and evils, report them together, I will remove them for you, and I will wait here." ”

The people of this village hurriedly responded, but heard Wang Cunye say again: "A few years ago, my master respected the immortals, no one presided over, and neglected everyone, and now I have invited back the white lady. You have brought me this too. ”

After speaking, Wang Cunye took out another piece of broken silver, threw it to the villagers, and said, "You can take this money and get some tea and cakes for everyone to use when they are resting." ”

The villager took the money, and was immediately surprised and delighted, and he did not have to give a tip, so he answered the word and trotted away, bringing up a puff of smoke and dust behind him.

Seeing him go, Wang Cunye turned around, straightened his robe, and stood quietly waiting for the arrival of the villagers, the autumn wind was blowing, but it couldn't bring him any chill.

"Your Excellency!" the two men whispered.

Shen Zhengzhi's face sank like water, he has been a tolerance for 20 years, and he has seen a lot of people, but Wang Cunye's bearing and demeanor are also rare, making people almost dare to believe that the killing of officials and the tolerance of killing officials is what this person did.

But it is precisely in this way that this person seems more dangerous.

If it is on the earth, no matter how generous and calm you are, under the suppression of the powerful organs, you have to lie down because you have no personal power.

But in this world, with such a demeanor, its hidden power cannot be underestimated.

Shen Zhengzhi suddenly remembered a case ten years ago, coming and going, the sword light was like snow, and the killing was like hemp, and that person was also so calm, with a smile, and regarded the government as nothing.

Suddenly, Shen Zhengzhi had a strong hatred for Wang Cunye.

It was these powerful monks who made the country fall apart, the princes were numerous, and the judicial and criminal laws were broken.

"Hmph, no matter what talent you have, I will bring you to justice!"

Of course, Shen Zhengzhi also knows that if a person like the young man on the other side gives him another chance, he is afraid that it will not be the regime and justice that can restrain him, thinking of this, his eyes are a little red!

Wang Cunye, who was on the high platform above, felt something, looked down, and scanned the crowd.

At this time, the sun gradually set, dozens of villagers gathered together and walked over, talking more than once, turning a corner, seeing Wang Cunye on the bluestone in front of him, speeding up his pace, and walking over.

There are only 200 people in this small village, except for the elderly and children, women at home, and busy people, almost all of them have been present, which shows their awe and respect for Taoist priests.

"The little people visit the Taoist. ”

"I've seen the Taoist. ”

The voice was endless, Wang Cunye saw them coming, squinted his eyes, smiled, his expression was gentle, he stood up and made a mockery to the villagers, and said: "You don't need to do this great gift, I have come to fulfill the responsibility of the Lord this time, if you have any illness, you can tell me, you need to eliminate the disaster, bless the health of the family, you can go to the main hall of Dayan Temple to pray to the mother." ”

The villagers walked out of a middle-aged man, did not speak for a while, and saluted Wang Cunye, saying: "Thanks to the villagers, I am the village chief, I don't know what the Taoist chief is particular about money?"

When Wang Cunye heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Everyone is in a difficult situation, and I don't accept cash money this time, lest someone say that I love money and don't care about people's livelihood, as long as you have the heart, just go to the temple and put some incense." ”

This middle-aged man is the head of a village, and his clothes are also coarse cloth, which shows the economic difference.

However, Wang Cunye is not worried about the money, as long as the magic power is gradually completed, he has his own sesame oil money from the big households in the city, why bother these mountain people who have a difficult livelihood?

These are all stubbles, the most important thing is to improve the strength, and nothing else is enough.

When the villagers heard this, they were immediately moved and said, "The Taoist is benevolent!"

The middle-aged man said: "There are no special products in the village, the food is just enough to eat, and we have to keep it for the famine year, because there is a disease in the village, so we can only resign ourselves to fate." ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "The Lord came this time, but he saved the lives of many surnames in the village, and I and the whole village thanked Dao Da for his kindness. ”

Wang Cunye's face was expressionless: "It's okay, let's leave now without further ado." ”

When the middle-aged man saw it, he stopped talking nonsense and said, "Dao Chief, please." ”

Wang Cunye nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way." ”

As he spoke, he glanced back, and suddenly met Shen Zhengzhi's eyes, Shen Zhengzhi suddenly turned pale, and "hummed".

The thief who kills the official, so calmly, this is a provocation to the government and the public!

Capture them, kill them, and destroy the law!
