Chapter 274: Our Lady of the Houtu (I)
"Who is guilty of the night? Hugh is going forward! ”
Pass, fortress also, pass or fortress, of course, there will be a curfew, the curfew of Xuelin City, generally one watch three o'clock to ring the twilight drum, prohibiting travel, five watch three o'clock after ringing the morning bell before the ban on traffic. At this time, it was not yet five watches, and a horse walked towards the closed door, so the goalkeeper shouted and asked.
At the same time, countless archers have bent their bows and arrows, and when something is wrong, they will shoot thousands of arrows at once.
As soon as the Xiongnu army retreated, the defense of Xuelin City did not dare to relax.
"Smack!" Zhou Fugui hugged Murong Huiying's slender waist in front of the saddle, threw a small ingot of gold to the gatekeeper and said, "General Ben is out on business, open the city gate quickly." ”
Checkmate? Official business? The goalkeeper was stunned to catch the gold, first put it in his arms, and then held a torch to shine on the comer, only to see that the person who came was indeed the new brave general Zhou Fugui.
"It turned out to be General Zhou..."After the goalkeeper saw Zhou Fugui's face clearly, his attitude suddenly changed greatly, he became more respectful, and asked respectfully: "So early, why did General Zhou go out of the customs?" ”
Zhou Fugui is now famous for the three levels such as Xuelin City, and the soldiers of the three levels are known to everyone, and no one is ???????????????? I don't know, it's still the brave general, the commander of the scattered cavalry, and the general of the border pass who are newly recruited from the fourth rank of the imperial court, and the title is a loose man, which is not comparable to the previous "fart generals", so the attitude of the goalkeeper immediately became respectful, even flattering.
Zhou Fugui also threw a piece of gold, and with this, the goalkeeper and others would not embarrass him.
"This general is out of the customs on the order of the Grand Governor, and as for what it is, it is inconvenient to tell you." Zhou Fugui replied with a smile.
"That's right, that's right." The goalkeeper nodded in response, and then loudly ordered his men to open and close the door.
The heavy closing door opened, a cool breeze blew in, and Zhou Fugui hugged Murong Huiying and rode out of the closed door slowly.
"Phew, fake order..."After Zhou Fugui left, the goalkeeper spat on Zhou Fugui's figure...
What is the order of the Grand Governor? What's the business? Obviously a pair of dog men and women go out to fool around, or even fight in the field? He actually falsely passed on the orders of the Metropolitan Governor Hu Yansheng? The generals of the Yan army near the gate were secretly disdainful in their hearts.
It's just that on this cold day, why don't you fool around in the bed and run out to do something? The crowd was puzzled...
Everyone even had that beautiful picture in their minds...
..................
Twenty miles southwest of the south gate of Xuelin City, there is a temple, which is called "Houtu Our Lady's View". The main god enshrined in the view of Our Lady of Houtu is, of course, Houtu Niangniang, a god who is in charge of yin and yang fertility, the beauty of all things and the gods who are in charge of the mountains and rivers of the earth.
The view of Our Lady of the Houtu is the prosperity of incense in the past, and there is an endless stream of good men and women who come to pray to God to burn incense every day, but because of the war, the concept of Our Lady of the Houtu has gradually decayed, at this time there are only a few Taoist priests who guard the view of Our Lady of the Houtu, waiting for a few pilgrims to come to ask God to burn incense, and hope to come to the pilgrims of large families, the reason is self-evident, only the pilgrims of large families can offer a lot of incense money.
"Huh... Hmm..."
At this moment, the two little Taoist priests were listlessly sweeping the snow in front of the door.
"Senior Brother Lu, you sweep first, I'll rest for a while." A thin Taoist priest said to a Taoist priest surnamed Lu who was fatter.
"It's only been a while, and you're tired? Rest, hehe, rest. The Taoist priest surnamed Lu smiled when he heard this.
"Senior Brother Lu, it's not that you're tired, but you're hungry." The thin Taoist priest sat aside and said, "Senior Brother Lu, why are you so red-faced? Could it be that the master is partial? ”
"Master, he's so hungry that he's about to eat people, what's the heart? Little Bodhisattva, let me tell you, the key to practicing here is eyesight. The Taoist priest surnamed Lu said in a low voice.
"Eyesight?" The thin Taoist priest was puzzled and asked, "What kind of eyesight?" ”
"Observe the eyes of the pilgrims." The Taoist priest surnamed Lu smiled: "What are the pilgrims doing here?" ”
"It's been more than half a month, and I can't see a single ghost, where are the pilgrims?" The thin Taoist priest said disdainfully when he heard this: "Even if there are pilgrims, of course, they burn incense and pray to the gods and pray for blessings, what else can they do?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with burning incense and praying to the gods, but you have to see what they burn incense for?" The Taoist priest surnamed Lu smiled: "Like men and women who elope... As long as you try your best to serve a good woman, are men afraid that they won't give money for incense? The man looks generous in front of the female companion, and the fragrance is ???????????????? The money is like water..."
"Okay, it turns out that you are private..."The thin Taoist priest suddenly realized.
"Shhhh Master, he is a single-minded cultivator, where can he pay attention to the mundane things in this world? He cultivates his way, he becomes his immortal, and we can't starve to death. ”
"Oh..."The thin Taoist priest broke off the hand of the Taoist priest surnamed Lu and said, "But how do you know that the pilgrims are rich or not?" Some pilgrims are poorer than us. ”
"This is the eyesight, some pilgrims..."The Taoist priest surnamed Lu suddenly saw a man and a woman leading a horse up the mountain, walking towards the Houtu Holy Mother Temple, so he said excitedly: "Coming, coming, the unjust bucket is coming." ”
Seeing the two unjust buckets that were getting closer and closer, that is, the big head or the big wronged species, the thin Taoist priest was also panicked and squeezed together with the Taoist priest surnamed Lu, and muttered in a low voice: "That tall bucket doesn't look like a rich man?" Senior brother, you can see that the iron armor on his body is rusty..."
"He is wearing iron armor, he is a general, have you ever seen a general who has no money? And his female companion, take a closer look, the clothes are luxurious, don't speak, let them hear, the fat in the mouth is about to fly..."The Taoist priest surnamed Lu glared at the thin Taoist priest fiercely and said in a low voice.
The thin Taoist priest nodded when he heard this.
Looking at the appearance, it should be a pair of eloped men and women, and the two little Taoist priests thought together that they must be a fierce general in the Yan army, hooked up with a rich daughter, and then fooled around here, and even the rich daughter was kidnapped by this tall Yan general...
If this is the case, the handle will fall into the hands of the two little Taoist priests, are you afraid that he will not give money for incense? If you don't give money, report to the official.
However, the two little Taoist priests have forgotten one thing, that is, the fierce Hu Ren general may be annoyed and angry, and kill people or something...
"What are the two Dao Masters doing?"
Zhou Fugui, the great injustice seed, walked over, and saw the two little Taoist priests looking at him and Murong Huiying in a daze, so he asked in some surprise.
"Shi... Host... Is it incense or worship? To incense and worship the gods, you need to go to the main hall and give... Host... Please follow... Trail comes. The thin Taoist priest thought of the incense money like flowing water, and was so excited that he stammered when he spoke.
After the Taoist priest surnamed Lu secretly kicked the thin Taoist priest, he smiled at Zhou Fugui and said: "There is a room in the view, and the donor can rest in it, bathe, change clothes, and drink tea to watch the scenery, and then it is not too late to put on incense and worship God." ”
Obviously two adulterers and adulteresses who eloped to play here, do you want them to go to the crowded hall? Although there are no pilgrims in the main hall now. But what if the deal is good today, and there are pilgrims? Give them an upper room, and they will do whatever they like in the upper room, and they will only take money.
"Drinking tea and watching the view? Good, good, long to lead the way. Zhou Fugui nodded and smiled when he heard this.
Zhou Fugui brought Murong Huiying to this Houtu Holy Mother Temple, not to burn incense and worship God, but also to avoid crowds, find a secluded place, find a place with a beautiful environment, and talk about lovesickness with his beloved.
In this way, it coincides with the Taoist priest surnamed Lu.
Zhou Fugui's move today has another intention, that is, to sweep away the haze in his heart.
"Lead the way, why not???????????????? Let's go? Zhou Fugui saw that the two little Taoist priests were talking lively, but they still hesitated to stand in place, refusing to move their steps, so he asked in surprise.
】
"Donor..."The Taoist priest surnamed Lu replied when he heard this: "The temple is small, but there is no tea, sandalwood and other things, so you need to go to the market five miles away to buy it..."
"Smack!" Zhou Fugui immediately understood what was going on, and after throwing him a small ingot of gold, he said: "Go and do it, go and come back quickly, you want to be superior." ”
Sandalwood and other things are also gone, but tea is rare at the border, how can Zhou Fugui not know about this?
"Thank you to the donor, thank you to the donor..."The Taoist priest surnamed Lu was overjoyed, it was really a big injustice, and the shot was gold... The Taoist priest surnamed Lu held the gold in the palm of his hand and thanked: "No wonder Xiaodao saw a purple gas in the sky this morning, this is the green ox driving, the purple gas is coming from the east, the donor's fortune is as he wishes, and the troubles flow down the water." ”
You must know that in this era of war and chaos, gold is a hard currency, and a small ingot of gold may be many lives.
"Poof!" Murong Huiying couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and after glancing at Zhou Fugui with watery eyes, she smiled and said, "This green cow is really rich. ”
Murong Huiying just thought it was funny, and she didn't feel pity.
The daughter of a big family like Murong Huiying may lack family affection, but she has no concept of money.
"How can you talk about being rich if you are a lowly person? But for you, a certain wish is not as good as a single hair of yours. Zhou Fugui smiled when he heard this.
Murong Huiying smiled silently when she heard this, but her heart was as sweet as honey.
The Taoist priest surnamed Lu proudly threw a smug look at the thin Taoist priest, meaning that I was right, right? Eyesight is not bad, right?
"The donor waved the Buddha dust in his hand and swept away all his troubles and went west. Embracing Tai Chi, it attracts countless purple qi to the east. With good thoughts, God fulfills people's wishes, benevolence, diligence and thrift, and longevity..."The thin Taoist priest finally reacted, and he was good at singing and praying, but it was the bull's head that was not in the horse's mouth, which was ridiculous, which made Zhou Fugui cry and laugh, made Murong Huiying smile and bent over, and made the Taoist priest surnamed Lu look angrily.
Kindness, kindness, and diligence seem to have nothing to do with Zhou Fugui.
