Volume 1 Juvenile Travel, Far Away Journey Chapter Seventy-Seven The Wanderer Returns in March

On May 2, it rained lightly on the mountain road ten miles away from Fengcheng in southern Xinjiang

Not slow and not hurried to walk the two riders in the cloth, perhaps because of the rain a few days ago, the two have been wearing the clothes to hurry up to now, the rain is getting smaller and there is no idea of fading, the horse's hooves trampled on the familiar road, one took off the coat and hat and looked at a certain place in the mountains and forests, in that direction there is a city that they have left in March, which is the end of their trip - Fengcheng.

From the beginning of spring in February, he was entrusted by his master to travel eastward, and now when he finally embarked on the road home, it was close to the end of spring, and it was almost summer.

"Do you want to say something to your parents when you get home? What you have seen and heard along the way or is it your own chivalrous act? Ye Dang, who was on the side, heard the young man take off the hat, and knew that he must have returned home.

Lin Manliu beside him just shook his head without saying too much, without the cover of the hat, the subtle rain hit the young man's face, and the extremely small raindrops were dotted on his eyebrows and lips, and he looked carefully at him smiling, a shallow smile.

The young man thought in his heart that when he returned to the pastry shop in Dongcheng, he just wanted to tell his father and mother that everything was safe, that he had not encountered any dangerous disasters, and that he had not acted righteously to carry the sword.

Ye Dang stopped speaking when he heard this, and the two of them continued to move forward like this, and they could reach Fengcheng today.

......

There is some hustle and bustle in the Fengcheng Xicheng market today, although it is raining now, there are still a lot of pedestrians on the road, carefully calculated as if it is the day of the market these days, there are crockpot products brought from the township, there are also some cheap food and vegetables that can not be bought in ordinary days, but more are some Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes and black crowns shuttling in the market, and pedestrians are avoiding and not daring to approach when they pass by.

In the middle of the bazaar, it was originally the façade of a restaurant, and today an extremely wide platform has been erected, not only occupying the entire restaurant façade, but even the pedestrian road has been occupied, but since it is done so blatantly, it is obvious that it is known or has already been dotted up and down, and no one will control it.

The platform is specially erected with a tarpaulin to prevent the rain from wetting the entire countertop, and a flag is hung in front of the tarpaulin, which reads "Observing the Tao and Participating in the Stars to Correct the People's Livelihood".

Pedestrians see that there is a pair of tables and chairs placed on the platform, and on the tablecloth are some Taoist remarks that ordinary people can't understand, and there is also a pattern of Bagua Taiji printed in the middle of it, even people who have not asked for a sign and fortune counting can understand that today's market is the preaching place of Sanxingguan.

Under the gaze of pedestrians, a Taoist walked up to the platform, and the Taoist robe on his body was different from the surrounding Taoist priests, only the Taoist was wearing a purple robe and a black crown, and the rest were gray robes, and some did not even wear a black crown, only a hairpin that looked quite acceptable to tie himself into a Taoist bun.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, and it seems that here, the poor road is slightly frosty, is a disciple of the mountain to see the stars, now the beginning of summer is coming, the summer will be prosperous, these days and your brothers to observe the sky, count the summer and summer in the future, today I specially invite to the view of the cool charm to give to the villagers, in order to benefit the people's livelihood..."

Before the Shuangwei Daoist finished speaking, a few people in the crowd of onlookers began to coax and say that all the Taoist masters who participated in the Xingguan had competed with the living immortals, that I could meet such a good thing in the market today, and that I could take more to go home to do farm work, and so on, and the atmosphere of the onlookers was instantly driven.

Some people actually began to scramble to climb up to the platform to get closer to the frost micro Taoist, and were immediately stopped by those gray-robed Taoists, and after hearing the persuasion of these Taoist priests who participated in the stargazing, they did not continue to crowd forward, and the hand behind the frost micro Taoist also stretched out, raised his hand in the direction of the crowd and pressed it down, and the words in the crowd became a little smaller.

At the beginning, the few people who shouted and wanted to compete seemed to have a clearer mind than ordinary people, only to see the moment when the Shuangwei Daoist raised his hand to signal, and then stopped talking, quietly waiting for the Taoist on the platform, who was already respected by them as a "living bodhisattva", to continue to speak.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, just rest assured, although the cool talisman written in the temple is precious, and I and a few senior brothers have worked hard for half a month to write it, and now there are more than two thousand, but this still can't make the people of the entire Fengcheng and even the entire southern Xinjiang be blessed by it, and be able to avoid the suffering of summer and summer in the future..."

Immediately afterwards, a gray-robed Taoist who was standing behind him just now stepped forward, holding a wooden plate in his hand, and some yellow paper talismans were placed in turn.

When the appearance of the talisman appeared in front of everyone's eyes, there was no need for anyone to take the lead in making a sound, and the whole restaurant began to be noisy and noisy in front of the platform, some people shouted how much incense money they donated to the Taoist temple in the city a few days ago, and some people said that the Taoist priest who visited the stars was an old acquaintance, and even said that a few years ago, he had met the master of the temple outside the city and was instructed by him..... All kinds of rhetoric resounded throughout the Xicheng market, whether it was a small vendor selling goods or a common person who came to the market, they were attracted by the sound of this place.

The streets and alleys of Xicheng began to spread that the Taoist priest who participated in the stars came to the city today to distribute cool charms to the people for summer retreat, as long as one was hung on the roof of the house, and then the whole summer will no longer suffer from the heat, and it is also said that if the man in the family wants to work in the field on the first night to put the cool charm in the man's clothes, even if he does not go out with the cool charm on the second day, he will not feel the slightest feeling of dryness.

For the cool talisman in the mouth of the Shuangwei Taoist, he himself also said a word or two about its efficacy, and the entire Xicheng was about to pass on the mysteries to the Dongcheng, but there were many poor people in the Dongcheng who wanted to ask for it, and I am afraid they couldn't ask for a cool talisman.

"You can be quiet first, the poor road is going down the mountain today to relieve the suffering of the summer and summer in Fengcheng in the future, all the fathers and villagers are perennial friends with my star view, whether it is the sub-view in the city or the subjective on the mountain outside the city, they have already known everyone's thoughts, and when I finish preaching, it is convenient for everyone to distribute this cool charm" Shuangwei Dao people spoke again, making the scene a little quieter.

The crowd of onlookers heard that they could still take care of holding an umbrella to avoid the rain, and some people took children to the market and didn't even care about the child in their arms, and directly put the umbrella on their side, as if they had to get drenched in some rain to show their inner piety in front of the Taoist of this star view, and the child in his arms was hit on the face by the rain and began to "babble.". babbling and crying, but the response was not the care of the parents... It is the parents' scolding and resentment of their children's actions, for fear of annoying the "living bodhisattva" on the stage.

In this way, everyone listened to the frost micro Taoist on the stage in the rain, telling the Taoist teachings of the Xingguan Temple, saying that as a Taoist temple on the edge of Fengcheng, they are closely related to Fengcheng.

Time has passed like this for a long time, and the people in the rain may not even be able to tell why the Taoist on the stage is saying, but it has not reduced the firmness in their eyes and the enthusiasm in their words...... In this way, the pious preaching of the Tao was carried out in the rain market.
