The young man dressed in black and white clothes also walked out of the temple, walked to the young Taoist and stood next to him, and quietly looked at the middle-aged Taoist leader, who looked like a mortal at a glance.

The middle-aged Taoist chief was stunned again when he saw this, and when he faced Song You again, he suddenly didn't dare to be contemptuous, and only respectfully replied: "Poor Dao Qing Huaizi, Taoist friends are merciful." ”

"I came here this time to ask Daoyou about something."

"Inquire about something?"

"Exactly."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

Qing Huaizi was going to go out, but he didn't know what to do, so he didn't go out at this time, and only made a gesture to him to please: "Daoyou is a guest from afar, please come to the backyard, let us fry a pot of tea, let Daoyou taste the fruit craftsmanship of Lejun Qingyunguan, and talk slowly in the tea room." ”

"It's good ......"

Song You looked down at the little girl beside him, and then looked back at the swallow behind him, and then followed Qing Huaizi.

"I don't know which Immortal Cave Mansion you are from?"

"It's not called Xianshan, it's a hill in Lingquan County, Yizhou, called Yin and Yang Mountain, and it's not a cave, it's just a small Taoist temple on the mountain, and there is no incense on weekdays."

"Yin Yang Mountain Fulong View ......"

"It's not very famous."

"Mountains have high and low, there are immortals, and there are gods and spirits in the size of the palace." Qing Huaizi opened the red lacquered wooden door in the backyard, and turned his head to ask, "These two are ......?"

"I'm a three-flower girl!"

"The surname is Yan Ming'an, it's polite."

"Then I'm courteous!"

The two little monsters replied one after the other, followed behind Song You, and also stepped into the backyard of Qingyun Palace one after the other.

Qing Huaizi listened, making a gesture of please, still leading them forward, calm on the surface, but in fact, there were already some waves in his heart-

The girl looked not very old, like the Taoist boy of this Taoist friend, but like the young man, she could see that she was not a mortal just from her face, demeanor and demeanor. The name Sanhua Niangniang is obviously not an ordinary name in the ears of Taoists, and with her three-color clothes, she is either a monster or a god.

This young man was dressed in black and white, and his surname was Yan'an, and he was able to attract the manifestation of An Qingzhenjun......

Could it be the descendants of Yan Xian?

Qing Huaizi doesn't know what magic practice, and he doesn't often see the gods appearing, so he will only set up altars according to the process, but in the Taoist temple, he has been exposed to a lot of ears and eyes, and he has served the gods for a long time, so he naturally has his own understanding and conjecture about these things.

Even if you know, the visitors are extraordinary.

It wasn't long before a few people were sitting across from each other in a wooden room, with a fire stove for sencha and a few plates of fruit on the table.

The so-called fruit does not only refer to fruits, but the name of snacks and snacks for tea in some areas of Dayan, which are generally preserved fruits, cakes and jerky, especially in the Jiangnan area.

"...... Uproar"

Qing Huaizi poured a few cups of tea for them.

"Thank you ......"

Song You and Yanzi both held tea to thank them.

Sanhua Niangniang also thanked her, but she just glanced at the cup of tea, and then let it be placed on the table, only sitting next to the Taoist, twisting her head from side to side, her eyes full of curiosity, and looking around.

"What does the Taoist want to ask?"

"That's ......"

When Song You heard this, he temporarily put down the teacup in his hand, and said in detail:

"I came from Langzhou this time, but when I walked to the junction of Langzhou and Yangzhou, I found that the local mountain people worship the evil god called Anle God. This god of peace is the god of the earth sealed by the imperial court, they were bound before the death of the national teacher, after the death of the national teacher, he gradually revealed his true nature, this god of peace began to coerce the mountain people, to sacrifice children, the laws of heaven are not allowed. ”

"The national teacher is dead?" Qing Huaizi was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes widened.

"It's been a year and a half since I died."

"I'll wait...... Why haven't we heard of it? Qing Huaizi was even more shocked.

"The national teacher has been away from Beijing for several years, and the Taoist has returned to the mountains, which is the idle clouds and wild cranes, even if the world can't find him, they only think that he retreats and cultivates, practices the elixir or goes to the mountains and rivers to find comfort, I am afraid that most people in the court do not know that he is dead."

"That'...... That dare to ask the Dao Chief! Is the national teacher dying? Or become an immortal and become a god? ”

"Don't mention it."

“……”

Qing Huaizi was still stunned.

"Straight to the point. Later, I heard that gods such as the god of peace and happiness, at that time, the imperial court in Yangzhou and its surroundings a total of five, each with secrets to do, a year or two ago, there should have been an order from the imperial court or the national teacher to abolish these five gods. Song You took a sip of tea and smiled at him, "Yangzhou is too big, and it's quite troublesome to find it next to each other." The abolition of this kind of earth god should be notified and passed through the largest local palace temple, so I came to visit Qingyun Palace and wanted to inquire. ”

"Comfort ......"

Qing Huaizi frowned and muttered.

"Fellow Daoists have heard of it?"

"Wait a minute, Chief."

Qing Huaizi said a word, and immediately got up and walked out.

The little girl held her head up and followed him.

The Taoist was not in a hurry, sitting on the spot, raising his glass of tea and twisting a piece of pastry from time to time, only breaking out a small piece as big as a fingernail and putting it into his mouth.

The life of Yangzhou people is really exquisite, even if it is a palace, the dim sum they eat on weekdays is so exquisite. Mung bean cake and red bean cake will become powder when touched, and it will naturally paste your mouth when you eat it, but if you eat it with a mouthful of fragrant tea, it will melt in your mouth and turn into a stream of water with the fragrance of pastry and tea, leaving a fragrance on your lips and teeth.

The footsteps outside the door faded away.

When Song You ate a small half of the pastry, the footsteps returned.

"Squeak......

Qing Huaizi pushed the door back to the room, and by this time he had two booklets in his hands.

"The Taoist chief said that the god of comfort, the poor Dao has some impressions, but I can't remember it clearly. But if it is said that a few earth gods were sealed by the imperial court for no reason more than ten years ago, and they were abolished for no reason more than a year ago, the impression of Poor Dao is very profound, I was puzzled more than ten years ago, and I was puzzled again more than a year ago. Qing Huaizi sat down and opened the booklet, and said to Song You, "Fortunately, as the Taoist chief said, the local gods and goddesses of the imperial court will inform the local palace temple, and they will also convey it to the local palace temple and the people through us, and we have a record." ”

"Oh?"

Song You turned his head and watched him rummag.

"These five earth gods have similar names, in addition to the god of peace mentioned by the gentleman, there are also the god of bliss, the god of pleasure, the god of ease and the god of peace. Originally, it was sealed in different areas around Yangzhou, but due to the exchanges of peddlers and pawns from all over the country, it slowly became mixed, and because it often showed its body and manifested, each with its own magical powers, some people called it the five gods, and there were many people who believed in it. ”

Qing Huaizi said as she showed him the booklet.

Song You lowered his head and looked seriously.

In fact, the above does not introduce the five earth gods in detail as Qing Huaizi said, but the original transcription of the five earth gods enshrined by the imperial court——

It probably means that there is a god in a certain place, and his original name is what to do, and he probably brags about his merits and supernatural powers, and then he is named a god, and the god of peace and happiness in Jiuyang Mountain is one of them.

Qing Huaizi showed him next to each other.

There are five articles in a row, and they are all the same.

Then he picked up another booklet and flipped through it to him.

The same transcription of the original text accused the five gods of not seeking government in their positions, not only did not benefit the people, but often appeared and frightened the people for no reason, so they were abolished.

"Lejun Yushan, the god of pleasure."

Song You pointed his finger at the booklet and pointed to one of the names: "I wonder if Qing Huaizi Daoyou knows anything about this hedonistic god?" ”

"Nature knows. At the beginning, the government named him a god and built a temple at the foot of the mountain, or a senior brother sent by our Qingyun Palace to give him a temple blessing for a year, so that the locals could come to worship, and the senior brother did not come back until the incense became more and more prosperous. It's a pity that he has gone out to do things in recent days, and it will take 7749 days, and it has only been about ten days. ”

Qing Huaizi glanced at Song You before continuing:

However, the senior brother of the poor road has not seen the true face of the god of pleasure much, and only heard him say that in the year when he was a temple blessing, he often dreamed that a mandrill thanked him and said something like "let him stay alone in this small temple in the mountains and fields, and work hard for him". Sometimes when I wake up, I find strange fruits next to my bed. It seems to be an ordinary wild fruit in the mountains, but it grows very large and smells attractive, probably a legendary spirit fruit or something. He ate quite a bit. So until now, the senior brother has passed the age of no doubt, and he still looks about the same as thirty years old, and his health is also very good. ”

"This god of pleasure is exquisite."

"We don't know the truth or ......"

"But it is also said that the god of pleasure often appears in the mountains for no reason, frightens the people, and threatens the people to make offerings, is this true or false?"

"Alas, it's true if you don't hide it."

"Oh?"

"People's hearts are fickle, so why aren't gods and ghosts?" Qing Huaizi said, and couldn't help but sigh, "In fact, a few years ago, there were people under the mountain to burn incense in the palace, speaking of this, the senior brother of the poor road still couldn't believe it, so he took a boat, and went to the mountain again, and lived in the temple of the mountain for several days, but he could no longer dream of the old mandrill as he once did, and when he woke up every morning, there was only frost and fog outside the temple, and there was no spiritual fruit in the mountain. After my brother came back, he didn't talk to anyone for a long time. ”

"I see......"

Song You couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for a while.

From the bustling Lejun Governor's Office, the well-known palace where people come and go, go to a small temple in a mountain village to do temple blessings, eat and drink Lazar have to be solved in the temple, and on weekdays, you have to run for a newly sealed god of the earth, publicize its name and supernatural powers to the surrounding people, absorb incense for him, and consolidate the divine position, how hard and difficult it is?

Thinking that the god of pleasure at that time was also sincerely grateful, he thanked him in a dream and sent spiritual fruit to comfort.

A year is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

Most of them also have some friendship with each other.

How complicated should that Taoist leader be at that time?

"The Taoist asks what these are ......"

Qing Huaizi's voice interrupted Song You's thoughts.

"Oh, in the downstream world, I like to listen to some strange stories, and I love to visit the temple everywhere." Song You smiled and saluted, "So I want to ask how to get to Daoyou Mountain, and I want to pay a visit." ”
