133 Wind Forest View
After flying for half an hour, Cheng Jun landed in front of Pancheng.
Seeing the appearance outside Pancheng, Cheng Jun was slightly surprised. This city is not so much a city as a larger town, and although some walls have been built outside, the city walls are intermittent and do not form a whole city. What kind of female walls, moats and the like, not to mention it. Pancheng is only five miles square, and it seems that it is only 10,000 people. There are also some busy markets in the city, but none of them have escaped the scope of local markets. There are no markets or monastic gatherings in the city, so it would be nice to have one or two monastic shops hidden in the corners of the market. He may not be able to find it.
Cheng Jun has not been here, although the information he read at the beginning also mentions this place, but it only says that there is no observation here. Since there is no watch, it means that this city has nothing to do with the purpose of his coming down, and most of it has nothing to do with it. He didn't pay special attention either, he didn't expect that by chance, he would come here at the first stop.
As soon as he entered the town, Cheng Jun didn't notice any special atmosphere here, except that there were a little more monks on the street than in other places. But there are many monks in Yunzhou, and there is not necessarily anything surprising here, not to mention that they are all characters in the middle and late stages of entering the Dao, and there are many young monks who have just entered the Dao, and I don't see any masters.
After entering the city, the first thing he thought about was to find a place to stay, and when he found the only inn in the town, he was told that it was full.
Cheng Jun couldn't help frowning and said, "There is no simplest bed?" My requirements are very simple, you can rest on a three-foot couch. β
The shopkeeper said: "Don't talk about the bed, the hall is crowded." It's all like you. I don't know how the Taoists are ranked, anyway, the first to come to the housing room, and then to live in the lobby. Some of the Taoist masters are too big, although they are later, but they go straight to the room, stand at the door of the first one, cough, and the first one doesn't say a word, so he packs up his bed and enters the lobby. β
Cheng Jun was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this was a bullying of those with high cultivation and low cultivation, and those with low cultivation had to give room to their seniors. There are more such things in casual cultivation, if it is the monk of the Daomen's own sect - how dare the junior wait for the senior to cough before moving. According to his current cultivation, he is also considered a top layer here, and he can also learn from it and go in to find someone to make room, but it is too boring. "Are there any other places to stay in town?"
The shopkeeper said: "There is a small shop at the end of the street. But that place is for porters and liba, and they are all chase shops, and they are not clean. A Taoist like you, it's better to go three miles outside the city, there is a Taoist temple wind forest view, which is also one of the best avenues we have here, where do you go to place an order, and save store money. β
Cheng Jun nodded and said, "Thank you." Turning around to leave, the shopkeeper stopped him and said, "Master Dao, do you need to light incense candles and paper money?"
Cheng Jun was stunned and said, "Why am I ...... Well, how did you know I wanted this?" said the shopkeeper, who had almost forgotten that he might really need these things for the sacrifice.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Nine out of ten of the Dao masters who have come to stay in the store have asked us where to sell these things." Our shopkeeper pondered, it is better to simply partner with the shopkeeper of the incense candle shop, and set up a paper next door that sells your Taoist master. You can see with me, and you will be satisfied. β
Cheng Jun heard him blow hard, and the surname Suo went out of the store with him, and sure enough, he saw a mat shed next door. When I entered the shed, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then I knew what "monopoly" meant.
I saw that in the small mat shed, in addition to the ordinary items such as incense and candles, paper money, paper people and paper horses, as well as paper flying swords, magic weapons, spiritual grass and spirit animals, all the goods in the general cultivation world, there is everything here, and it is actually very exquisite, and the color is bright and bright.
Cheng Jun grabbed a big papier-mΓ’chΓ© ginseng from the ground, and couldn't help laughing, so he heard the shopkeeper say, "What do you like, wrap it up for you?"
Cheng Jun said vaguely: "Well, ah, it's very good." After thinking about it, he said: "That flying sword, as well as Yu Jian, as well as these Lingzhi and Shouwu, I want them." Turning his head, he saw a case in the corner, on which there was a complete set of seventy-two flying swords, although it was paper paste, but it was brushed with layers of paint, silver shining, revealing a bit of cold, obviously quite exquisite, different from others, and couldn't help asking: "How to sell that?"
The shopkeeper of the incense and candle shop next to him rushed over and said with a smile: "Master Dao, this set is set by others, and we don't sell it." After a while, people will come to pick up the goods. β
As he was talking, he heard someone shouting outside: "Shopkeeper, that girl is here, quickly move the goods out." β
The shopkeeper said in a loud voice, "Here it is." "I didn't call it a man, I took it myself, and carefully took it out.
Cheng Jun's heart moved, and when he walked to the door, he saw a big red horse standing outside the door, and immediately sat a young girl, dressed in plain white clothes, with a beautiful appearance, it was Feng Yizhen. Seeing her here, naturally, it was not unusual at all, but compared to a glimpse on the road, at this time, she looked a little haggard. In particular, the corners of his eyes seem to be slightly red, as if he had just cried.
When Cheng Jun saw it, he was secretly surprised, he remembered that this girl was very spicy, but he didn't expect to cry.
Feng Yizhen glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "I won't accept this." The voice was tired and hoarse.
The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, and he said: "This ......" In order to make this set of flying swords, the cost is not small, and the materials used are the best, if Feng Yizhen doesn't want it, he will lose a lot.
Feng Yizhen's expression was in a trance for a while, and he said, "You can ask someone to send it to the Wind Forest Temple." The money will be given to you when the time comes. As he spoke, he pulled the reins of the horse and shouted, "Ride-" The horse's hooves flew and left the city.
The shopkeeper's face was bitter, and he said, "It's not easy to make this money." Xiao Li ......" He stretched out his hand to beckon a child and said, "You go and send this set of flying swords to the Wind Forest Temple." Remember, you have to bring the money back, and you can't leave until you get it back. β
The guy also frowned and said, "Yes." Just about to leave, Cheng Jun hurriedly stopped and said, "You wait...... Wrap up the incense candles I just asked for and send them to the Wind Forest Temple. β
The shopkeeper was stunned and said, "Master Dao, you also live in Fenglin Temple?"
Cheng Jun said: "I don't live now, you take me there, I'll live there." β
The guy held the incense, candles, paper money, and took Cheng Jun all the way to the Fenglin Temple.
Three miles out of the city, I saw a big Taoist temple standing next to the pipe, inside and outside the courtyard, repaired than the city wall of Pancheng is a few more decent. There are large pine and cypress trees planted at the entrance of the temple, a high flagpole is erected, and the unique flag seal of the Taoist gate is hung, showing that this Taoist temple is also a serious descendant Taoist temple under the Taoist gate. It's just that since this wind forest view is outside the city, it can't be a party to watch, looking at such a scale, it must be a Sanqing descendant view, which is the highest level in the descendant view, which is even higher than the Qinglong view.
Around the Taoist temple, there are already many monks, and it seems that they are all here to ask for orders. There are two Taoist scholars guarding the door at the door of the Taoist temple, and all the Taoist priests who come will see their identity a priori, and the layman will not need to say it, so they will all refuse. Huang Guan, a monk, saw that it was a loose cultivator and directly refused, and the disciples of the Taoist sect and the third disciple found a miscellaneous servant to lead him to the side courtyard.
Cheng Jun stepped forward and showed his identity as a descendant of the Daomen, and the acquaintance immediately changed his smiling face and said, "It turned out to be a senior brother from Xiayang County, please come inside." β
Cheng Jun did not show his cultivation of building a foundation, so the Zhike only called Senior Brother. While letting him inside, he complained: "Senior brother, how can you say there is such a truth in the world? Even if our Daomen in Shangyang County is not strictly guarded, those loose cultivators are also stumbling on their noses. I don't look at my identity, I'm going to come to our Taoist temple to place an order, isn't that boring? I politely refused, and they dared to shake my face, okay, I really don't even distinguish between the upper and lower levels. If I hadn't been able to beat them, I would have beaten them a long time ago. β
Cheng Jun coughed and said, "It's been hard work, senior brother. There are a lot of monks, right? There aren't enough houses, right?"
The acquaintance said: "Where is it." Naturally, there are a lot of people, but we don't accept everyone. Only the identity of the senior brother can live in the main courtyard, and then live in the side courtyard for the third pass. The second disciple has two people in a room, and the third disciple sleeps in the bunk. Nowadays, there are many people living in the side courtyard, but there are only two or three people living in the main courtyard. I think about it, I know why they came, although the fellow who passed away was also a descendant of the Daomen, but after all, he was only a disciple of the Daomen, how many fellow Daomen descendants came to mourn? That is, we contemplated the Lord, saying that for the sake of our neighbors, we would like to go and mourn once......"
As he spoke, he arrived at the residence, and the acquaintance pushed open the door, revealing a small secluded courtyard, and said, "This courtyard is not inhabited yet, so you can rest." I look at it like this, there shouldn't be many people coming to the funeral after the seventh day, and this courtyard is for you to live alone. β
Cheng Jun said: "Thank you, I'll go to see the Lord in a while." β
The Zhike said: "The Lord is also very busy. First, there are many people who want to socialize, and secondly, they are afraid that there will be a big incident in Pancheng after the seventh day, and they will be killed, so we will inevitably be implicated in the wind and forest view, so we must arrange it in advance. Now his old man's house is next door. β
Cheng Jun was stunned and said, "Is the main room next door?"
Zhike said: "That's not true. It's also a small courtyard for outsiders like here. There was a female Taoist friend living inside. Her status is not bad, anyway, the viewer does not allow anyone else to step into the courtyard. He himself has often gone in, and he has just gone in for two hours, hum. There was a hint of disdain as he spoke, but it was very vague, and it was obvious that he was thinking of other places.
Cheng Jun nodded and said, "I see that there seems to be something ordered by that female Taoist friend outside, please ask the senior brother to help her send it in." β
