Chapter 259: Anecdotes and Interests in the Capital

Thinking of this, Qi Jing's heart is full of joy.

He grabbed the bronze jar turned into the empty green corpse, and said to the old monk and Peng Yuanbao: "The empty green in Qi's hand is only this one, since the two of them are sincerely exchanged, it is better to divide them into three, and each of them will take one of them." ”

Before the words fell, Lishan Guangye coughed suddenly, and said with a little surprise: "Or...... Or is it split into four? ”

Qi Jing was stunned, and then smiled dumbly: "Yes, as early as when the horse was in the Xiema Stack, this guy was salivating over the empty green corpse, no wonder he had nothing to do today, and specially invited me to drink this Pu's old wine." ”

"It is a common thing to have short hands and short mouths, and to communicate with each other. Besides, I have an empty green corpse in my hand, as long as I let it devour the rust of bronze and the rhyme of the mountain, I can gradually make up for the empty green in the bronze urn, which is not so bad. ”

So, Qi Jingzhi responded very simply: "Then it will be divided into four!" ”

"Good!"

Seeing that Qi Jingzhi had made a decision, the Zhenjue Zen Master immediately saluted eleven times, although the share obtained was reduced out of thin air, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face: "The old man will send a messenger back to the temple later, fetch the essence of the female yellow, and send it to the official office of the Hook Chen Yuan." ”

Qi Jingzhi, as a dignified lieutenant of the Hook Chen Academy, still doesn't know where his official office is, and he hesitated a little when he heard this, but he was embarrassed to ask after all.

He saw that the old monk looked at the gall bottle and rosin on the table again, and couldn't help but smile: "If the Zen master is interested in rosin, you can exchange it for the Seven Treasures of Buddhism that are similar to the essence of orpiment." ”

Zen Master Zhenjue was stunned: "The donor needs the essence of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism?" ”

Qi Jingzhi nodded affirmatively, if you want to repair the Heaven and Earth Xuanjian, you need the essence of Yuehua, how can you get the Yuehua corpse from the mirror armor Tiandaede is really limited in production, and you have to use the essence of the Seven Treasures to try to synthesize.

When the Zen Master Zhenjue looked at the rosin in the gall bottle again, his eyes were full of scrutiny: "Old man looks at it, this thing will be the essence of fine amber after a few years, but now it is not enough, and it must be not in line with the donor's wishes." ”

"The monks don't say anything, but this thing is just right to burn incense and offer to the Buddha, and the old man is determined to get it. Well, there are indeed a lot of high-grade seven treasures in Fuya Temple, and although there are not many people who can call them essences, they are enough to exchange with the donor. ”

Qi Jingzhi still responded without hesitation: "Just according to what the Zen master said!" ”

Seeing that this Hook Chen Yuan battalion lieutenant was so sharp, Peng Yuanbao also showed joy: "I came out in a hurry today, but I didn't have enough money for the light shadow." Peng took the boys home to get it, and the price must be satisfactory to Captain Qi! ”

At this point, Qi Jingzhi's deal with Fuya Temple and Peng's family can be regarded as over.

As for the specific price, Zen Master Zhenjue and Peng Yuanbao didn't say it, after all, with their wealthy status as the four idiots of Fuya and the Shangqing boy of the Peng family, since they had reached an agreement with the camp captain of Hook Chen Yuan, they naturally would no longer bargain and bargain like a businessman, and there was no need for this, let alone lose this person.

Qi Jingzhi has often sent wild meat to the big families in Songling County, and he is most familiar with the minds of such people, knowing that these people seem to be extravagant and magnificent, but in fact, they care most about the gains and losses of interests.

Therefore, although the young man's heart was itchy, he couldn't bear it and didn't ask, anyway, he had the tiger skin of the hook Chen Yuan, presumably both of them would choose to have a face, not to mention that there was a red fire fish of the Li clan next to him.

As a result, the first few people who met each other looked at each other and smiled, and naturally there was a little more intimacy, especially Qi Jingzhi's impression of Fuya Temple formed by the tiger spirit, which also changed because of the temperament of the Zen Master Zhenjue.

At that moment, he took three banana leaf cups, poured a quarter of the empty green into each cup, and used the remaining cup to hold the balsam, and then handed these strange things to Zen Master Zhenjue and Peng Yuanbao respectively, and said goodbye to the two with a smile.

Peng's three pennie boys turned into three green ducks again, fluttering their wings and skimming through the forest, and Peng Yuanbao, who was wearing a five-baht suit, also walked briskly, and disappeared after a while.

Zen Master Zhenjue walked out slowly for a few feet, suddenly turned around again, and said through the wooden ball messenger on his shoulder: "If you have time to camp on a different day, you might as well come to my Fuya Temple for a visit, Lao Gao's senior brother Zhenyou Monk is also a long-term donor's name, and he only hates fate!" ”

Qi Jingzhi was shocked and shocked, knowing that this should be the follow-up to the incident of the Tiger Spirit of Komatsu Mountain.

Fortunately, listening to the tone of the Zen master Zhenjue, Fuya Temple's attitude towards this matter is quite peaceful. Of course, this is also thanks to the support of Hook Chen Yuan and Langya Jun, otherwise the old monk in front of him may not be so easy to speak.

Having said that, the young man's jealousy of Fuya Temple raised his head again, and he replied quietly: "The name of Zhenyou Zen Master's 'chanting to the tiger', Qi is also like thunder, and his heart yearns for it, and he will definitely come to the door to ask for advice if he has the opportunity!" ”

Zen Master Zhenjue nodded slightly, without the slightest nostalgia, turned around and drifted away.

Lishan Guangye looked at the back of the old monk, smashed his mouth, and asked endlessly: "Has the world brother seen it?" ”

Qi Jingzhi heard his voice, and said softly: "Although empty green and maple balm are rare, they may not be taken in the eyes of such characters. ”

"In my opinion, they made a deal with me just at the right time and took advantage of the trend, mainly to take this opportunity to build a relationship with Gou Chen Yuan and form a good relationship. It's just that I didn't expect that the two of them couldn't climb the big Sima, and even my little battalion captain didn't want to miss it. ”

Lishan Guangye immediately disagreed: "Brother Shi should not be arrogant, listen to the meaning of their words, with us escorting all the way into the capital, Brother Shi has gradually become famous, even if it is placed in this huge capital, it is by no means a nobody." ”

"If the younger brother guessed correctly, the price they gave after that must be far from the supermarket price, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of words just now?"

Qi Jingzhi nodded, knowing that his reputation was not just about escorting the young master of Linshan.

In the past six months, he killed the tiger monk of Fuya Temple, recovered the jade pillow of Qinghong Gong, wrestled his wrist with the water god of Xunjiang, made trouble in Jiuzhen County and participated in the overthrow of An Fenghou, and easily swept away the mountain spirit of the road god in the north of Meizhou.

Maybe in the eyes of some people, he is a gambler who is willing to risk his life at any time to make a big deal, a madman who uses the lives of others as a stepping stone and climbs up by any means, and a madman who is rampant and wants to be the second in Pang Mei.

For such a person, the more people with big families and big careers, the more unwilling they are to provoke easily.

Qi Jingzhi pondered like this, and the courage in his chest could not help but become more and more majestic.

"It's the same road, Wei Bao and Geshu Dashi escorted An Fenghou into the country to ask for guilt, and now I don't know what happened, presumably the road is not smooth......

"The letter to Wei Yingdian has been sent for many days, and I don't know when he will arrive, and if it is too late to meet in the capital, I will have to go to Yongchang Town, Ulzhou alone."

Qi Jing's heart was full of thoughts, shook his head and sat back in the thatched pavilion, and drank wine with Lishan Guangye, and it was rare to have a wine banquet in peace.

When the food and drink were almost over, Lishan Guangye called Pu Shan and Pu Xi, who were hiding in the distance, to come over to settle the bill.

Qi Jingzhi took the opportunity to speak, and asked casually: "By the way, are there any anecdotes in the capital recently?" ”

Hearing this question, the two black children glanced at each other, and Pu Xi, who had a relatively lively temperament, replied: "In recent days, it has been peaceful in the capital, that is, two months ago, in the southern suburbs of the national capital, on the north bank of Tianqi Yuan, there was a place where the earth suddenly cracked, and a big black bird flew out of the cave, screaming three times in the sky above Tianqi Yuan, before flying away to the east. ”

Speaking of this, Pu Xi suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Originally, this matter has passed for a long time, and few people have talked about it anymore. However, for some reason, in recent days, many people in the market have suddenly brought up the old story, and said that the big black bird is called the Xuanniao, which is a bad omen, and the Xuanniao flies eastward, indicating that the disaster should be in the East China Sea! ”

"Xuanniao? Little two months ago? The land of the East China Sea? ”

Qi Jingzhi asked casually, but he didn't expect such a big event to happen in Duzhong recently.

Ordinary people may not know the seriousness of this matter, but he is a person who has witnessed the chaos in Jiuzhen County, and of course he knows that Xuanniao is the symbol of Dongyi Shaohao Jin Tianclan!

The sudden appearance of the Xuanniao in the heart of Tianqi Yuan, the hinterland of the Great Qi, was already a major event in itself, and it happened to be about the same time as the chaos in Jiuzhen County, especially the Xuanniao flew east...... Thinking about the rumors that have suddenly risen recently, it is clear that someone wants to put An Fenghou to death.

Pu Xi saw that Qi Jingzhi seemed to be very interested in this matter, and immediately said happily: "By the way, there is still a stone altar left in the cave where the Xuanniao flew out, and the altar is full of green jade, all wrapped in golden cloth, and spread all the way to the bottom of the stone steps on the east side. If it weren't for the people of the Demon Suppression Courtyard who came in time, I am afraid that those Qingqi and Jinbo would be looted by the onlookers! ”

When Hei Xiao'er talked about this, his face still showed pity, obviously regretting that he couldn't be there first.

At this moment, even Lishan Hirono was interested.

His brows furrowed, and his eyes showed a thoughtful meaning: "Take the green silk as a sacrifice...... Spread it under the altar...... This seems to be the regulation of Dongyi's sacrifice to the god of Gao. ”

Qi Jingzhi didn't understand and asked, "What kind of god is the god of Gaoqi?" ”

Lishan Hirono didn't answer, but gestured to the two black children with his eyes, and then there was the secret they were not qualified to hear.

Unexpectedly, this time Pu Shan and Pu Xi did not move, and even Pu Xi smiled triumphantly: "Good to teach Master Lishan to know, now the people of the capital city know that the altar is called the Gao Xuan Altar, and this name is from the mouth of the Hun Tian Si Lu Gong!" ”

"I heard that the court is surrounding whether the lord of the country will go to the altar next year to worship the god of Gao, and the lords have been arguing several times!"

Hearing this, Rao Shilishan Guangye was well-informed and familiar with the government and politics, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "What? Some of the princes in the court advocated using the Dongyi altar to worship the old gods? How many times have you quarreled about this? ”

Seeing his appearance, Qi Jingzhi had no choice but to ask again: "What is the god of Gaoqi?" ”

Lishan Guangye came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "It's nothing to say, this god is the matchmaker god of Dongyi, the priesthood is to manage marriage and childbirth, and it is the god worshiped by the kings of Dongyi when they ask for children." ”

As a quite competent Lingtai Lang, and with the inheritance of the ancient Tongyu clan, Lishan Guangye really knows a lot of ancient secrets and taboos.

At that moment, I heard him talk eloquently: "The so-called high altar should stand in the southern suburbs of the capital, with a wide wheel of 26 feet and a height of 9 feet, chiseling four square stone steps and three circles of low walls. ”

"Every year in the middle of the spring month, the day of the Xuanniao solstice, the king personally marries the six palaces, worships Taihao in the altar, matches with Shaohao, and worships the god of Gaoyu to pray for the son. The specific regulations are: Taihao is located in the north and faces south, Shaohao is in the east and west, and the god is located in the south of the east and faces west. The ceremony is tied with a green silk and a prison is shared. ”

Qi Jingzhi understood that the so-called Gao Jiu altar was not only to worship the god of Gao Xu, but to worship Tai Hao and Shao Hao when the Xuanniao flew in the spring, and the sacrifice to the god of Jiu seemed to be piggybacking, so it is no wonder that Lishan Guangye reacted like that after hearing about the controversy in the court.

So, when Lishan Guangye was solemn and asked what was going on, the more stable Pu Shan replied: "Although it is a bit taboo to talk about this matter, it is okay to say that it is okay to listen to Lord Lishan, just because it was Lu Gong who was the first to suggest to the lord of the country to sacrifice to the god of Gaoqing!" ”

"What his old man means is that the high altar is too close to the Tianqi Yuan, and it is very important to be touched lightly. However, instead of spending countless efforts to seal and guard, and always be worried about it, it is better to follow the example of King Wucheng and the old wisdom of the first king of Great Qi, abolish the worship of Dongyi, re-enshrine a Great Qi God, and completely replace the old god of Dongyi. ”

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but nod when he heard this, this practice was indeed in line with the way of the Wucheng Holy King who he had heard of before.

There are not only eight gods in the system of the Eight Lord Gods, but is the Si Qiu God who dominates the East China Sea the subordinate god of the Four Seasons Lord? Now to add a god is indeed the wisdom of the first king, and it is not unusual.

On the contrary, it was Pu Shan, a little elf, who was able to explain the proposition of the Heavenly Priest so clearly, and the proprietor behind Pu's wine shop was probably a figure with hands and eyes.

"Lu Gong's advice...... What do those who oppose Lu Gong say? ”

Lishan Hirono asked, but immediately waved his hand again: "Hey, you can actually guess it." Lu Gong's intention was obviously to falsely seal a Great Qi God and merge it into the system of the Eight Lord Gods. ”

"However, to enshrine such a custom god included in the national rituals, even if it does not have to pass through the world and is only worthy of being enjoyed in the Temple of the Heavenly Emperor of Tianqiyuan, the consumption of the fortune of the national dynasty is still very great, and it is by no means comparable to the enshrinement of a city god or the god of mountains and waters."

"Every time the lord of the country entitles the god position, there are a number, I don't know how many living and dead ghosts in order to be awarded a god position, painstakingly scheming, looking through the ground and waiting for the vacancy, if this suddenly appeared God in front of the cancellation of the quota, anyone will be resentful, let alone how many open and secret battles are involved."

In the end, Lishan Hirono said that the tone was really complicated, including both heartfelt sighs and sighs, and there was no lack of schadenfreude when watching the excitement.

Qi Jingzhi frowned slightly when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart: "An Fenghou was obviously calculated by someone and had something to do with Gao Yutan. In this way, it was originally just a Shinto dispute, but now it involves the existence and abolition of the position of a military marquis......"

"Ding Chengyuan and even the entire Jiang surname Ding want to get out of it and save their lives and wealth, but I'm afraid it's not easy."

The young man carefully savored the treacherous clouds in the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom, only to feel that there seemed to be countless famous reins entangled in front of him, like a net of heaven and earth, and it was actually traps everywhere, killing machines step by step.
