Chapter 21 Temple Fair, Real People, Taoists
The mid-year festival is a festival unique to Wuxiu County.
This is mainly to commemorate the great benevolence to save the suffering and save the real people, and the real people who save the suffering are in Wuxiu County, which can almost be compared with the God of Land and Wealth.
For the people of Wuxiu County, the mid-year festival is a very important festival, and at this time, the people will solemnly prepare sacrifices and sincerely worship this great true person who once saved them.
Zhang Xu is also a little interested in this great benevolence to save the suffering and save the real person.
After he agreed to Chen Yu, he came to the county office the next day.
"Haha, Qingxu Daoist, I'm going to trouble you again this time."
As soon as Zhang Xu entered the county office, the laughter of Zhang County's order was heard.
Zhang County, who was dressed in a blue official uniform, stood in the county office, put down the fold in his hand, and walked towards Zhang Xu.
Looking at the enthusiastic Zhang County Order, Zhang Xu arched his hand and smiled: "Hehe, this matter is related to the safety of the people in the county. ”
"Daoist Chief, this official admires, Daoist please wait again, Chen Yu will introduce the specific situation of the sacrificial conference to Daoist in a while, and the official still has some important things to deal with, so I won't entertain Daoist more." Zhang Xianling replied.
Zhang Xu smiled and said, "My lord, please." ”
Zhang Xian Ling left first, Zhang Xu sat in the back room of the county office, and the servants served tea and snacks.
He took a few sips of tea, and Chen Yu walked in.
"Qingxu Dao Chief, I was arranging tasks for my subordinates just now, so that Dao has been waiting for a long time." Chen Yu said apologetically.
Zhang Xu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, what to do next, just say it." ”
Chen Yu explained: "The sacrificial activities are at noon, and the people will gather inside and outside the real temple to worship the real people who save the suffering.
"After the festival is over, it is the temple fair, and the temple fair lasts until the evening, and what we need to pay attention to is this temple fair.
"This year is different from the past, I heard that the green forest people in Chenzhou have gathered in our Wuxiu County, these people are mixed, a few days ago, there have been several murders caused by the fight, we are fast, is to beware of these martial arts people.
"As for the monsters, we need more attention from the Taoist."
"What about Master Zhiyin? Didn't you invite him? Zhang Xu thought of Monk Zhiyin and couldn't help asking.
Chen Yu shook his head and said, "We haven't found Master Zhiyin, I heard that the master has left Wuxiu County. ”
"Are you leaving?" Zhang Xu frowned slightly, and then nodded.
He originally wanted to pull Zhiyin to deal with the blood ape, but he didn't expect that the other party had already left.
"Dao Chief, do you think there is anything else you need me to explain?" Chen Yu asked.
Zhang Xu shook his head: "It's gone, let's go, I'll also go and see what the real temple looks like." ”
Next, Chen Yu led the way, and the two left the county government and went to the real temple.
The real temple is located in the north of the city, three miles away from the county seat, although it is located outside the city, but the flow of people in the real temple is not small.
In addition to this kind of big festival of priests and real people, on weekdays, many people will also come to worship, either to ask for peace, or for the future, and even for wealth and children.
It can only be said that the gods of the folk priests will become more and more complete with the passage of time.
Out of the county seat, Zhang Xu could see many people with sacrifices and go to the real temple first.
On the way, there were also many people with swords on their backs and different clothes.
When the people saw these men with swords and swords, they all fled from afar, and did not dare to approach.
"It's really an eventful time now, not only are monsters rampant, but these people from the green forest road are also here to join in the fun, we who should catch fast have been busy for many days, alas, I really don't know when this day will be a head." Chen Yu looked at the martial arts people in front of him and couldn't help but complain.
Perhaps, there is a lot of connection between the two. Zhang Xu said secretly in his heart.
Zhang Xu glanced around, and suddenly fixed his gaze on the back of an old man in front of him.
"Hey, that back, why is it so familiar?" Zhang Xu blinked, and before he could take a closer look, the old man quickly disappeared from his sight.
"Did the Daoist discover anything?" Seeming to notice Zhang Xu's strange appearance, Chen Yu asked.
Zhang Xu shook his head: "No, let's go." ”
The closer you get to the real temple, the more people there are.
Many businessmen with brains are pushing small carts and stopping not far from the real temple.
On the cart were all kinds of food, some sacrificial supplies, and there were also poor scholars who set up a table to write prayers for the people who came and went.
From a distance, in front of the real temple, it can be said that there are crowds, all kinds of shouting, talking, and even scolding, mixed together, shrouded in the real temple.
Zhang Xu stood under a crooked-necked tree, looking at the scene in front of the temple from a distance, and couldn't help but say: "This is really lively." ”
"Hehe, this year is a little more lively than in previous years." Chen Yu said with a smile.
In addition to the common people and martial arts people, you can also see the catchers or walking in front of the figures, or standing aside and staring at those martial arts people.
Although the scene looked a little noisy, it was manageable.
When they came to the temple, they came to pay their respects, Chen Yu sent his subordinates, and then took Zhang Xu to the temple.
The real temple is not very large, in addition to the main hall where the real person statue is placed, there are various merit rooms, in the courtyard of the temple, there is a stone tablet, which is written on the great benevolence to save the suffering and save the real life deeds.
The temple was originally built by the people raising money, and later under the auspices of the government, it was expanded three times before it has its current scale.
In the past, the temple might have been more spacious, but now there is a lot of traffic, and people are lining up to worship the statue, and the long queue has been lined up from the main hall to the outside of the temple.
"If the Taoist chief is interested, he can go around the temple, and if there are important things to do, he will not pay the Taoist chief." Chen Yu hugged his fists and said.
Chen Yu left, and Zhang Xu looked at the flow of people around him.
It was impossible to go to the main hall for the time being, so he squeezed the crowd and came to the stone monument.
The stele is one zhang high and three feet wide, and it is carved with dense small characters with fly's heads.
Zhang Xu raised his head and watched the deeds of the real person with interest.
"Hey, Yunfeng Daoist, this title is familiar." Zhang Xu looked at the real person's original Dao number, and his eyes widened slightly.
As he continued to watch, his expression gradually became solemn.
"Sanyang View! It turned out to be Sanyang Temple! ”
Zhang Xu's face changed, his eyes stared at the three words on the stone tablet, and his breathing became a little short.
Unexpectedly, he was here, and he saw the information about Sanyang Temple again.
Zhang Xu quickly looked down, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of his experience in the Sanyang Temple.
There was a gap between the scene he saw and the description on the stone tablet, but one thing was certain, that is, the young Taoist priest he saw in the illusion was the Yunfeng Daoist.
And this Yunfeng Daoist turned out to be a real person in Wuxiu County, what happened in the middle made Zhang Xu's heart full of questions and curiosity.
"Could it be that the destruction of these Three Yang Views is also related to the disaster many years ago?" Zhang Xu pinched his chin, stared at the stone tablet, and said secretly in his heart.
"Boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your cultivation has improved a lot."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
