Of course, most of the squires in Dakang wanted to come, as long as the homeless people did not make trouble, they would not rush out.

Like the village of Xianfu next to the canal, where the displaced people gather on both sides of the canal, within five miles of land, there are as many as they want, and they do not encroach on their arable land anyway.

The old men of the government have to pass by and act as if they don't see it, who will care about the poor, and who will waste food on them.

And these poor people, as long as they have a way to live, they happen to be the most grassroots forces of the sects everywhere.

There are many sects in the world that use the name of the White Lotus Sect, and all of them are independent

Wenxiang Sect is one of them, and the old Taoist priest Wang Xun is the remnant of Emperor Jing's 14th year.

In fact, it is also a variant of the White Lotus Sect, but for a few years, it has been obscure.

After a bloody baptism, he was the head of the Smelling Fragrance Church at the age of 45!

He is also the next Venerable of the White Lotus Sect, and the reason why he is called the Venerable instead of the sect leader is because the name of the Shandong White Lotus Sect is too big.

Even the venerable man surnamed Wang in the previous session did not dare to claim it, and later he was defeated and beheaded, and Wang Xun was excluded because of the smell of incense at that time.

He went down to the bottom, as a little incense lord who was a disgraced missionary, so he escaped in the pile of corpses.

At the age of 50, he knew the destiny of heaven, suddenly realized, changed some of his teachings, made them closer to the poor people, and then quietly preached along the canal, which actually had good results.

In the past few years, the reason why the old Taoist priest Wang Xun has run such a big situation is because he took the youngest daughter of the previous Wang family and got the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine.

The little incense masters of the Smelling Incense Sect will treat the sick through the secret medicine of the old Taoist priest Wang Xun, especially the ancestral secret recipe of the old Taoist priest to treat malaria and other diseases.

As long as the patient comes to the incense master's house to burn incense and give alms, the incense master draws a talisman on the cloud cake, and uses the gourd to receive the rootless water and take it home to eat it to be cured, and the effect is very good.

For other incurable diseases, if the medicine is ineffective, come to the old Taoist priest for treatment, and he will treat people and offer two large and small tea bowls in front of the Buddha to take it.

The patient twice a day in the morning and evening, and not long after, the disease actually improved greatly, so the old Taoist priest was near the canal and was deeply worshipped by the people nearby.

It can be seen how exquisite the medical skills of our ancestors are, but those missionaries are not well studied to benefit future generations.

Like the old Taoist, he can do some medical skills, martial arts, and then pretend to be a god and a ghost, and it is very easy to preach, and the people of Dakang believe this.

For example, Father-in-law Zhang's little servant, Ergouzi came to the old Taoist priest to ask for medicine, and Wang Xun didn't have much effort to transform Ergouzi into his faithful believer.

Moreover, after the old Taoist priest Wang Xun became the head of the association at the age of 45, he continued to suppress and annex those small sects on the Grand Canal.

Nowadays, the Wenxiang Sect brings together various characters from the north and south of the Grand Canal, twelve heavenly generals, thirty-six heavenly gangs, and one hundred and eight yakshas.

Yaksha is the master of incense on behalf of the incense sect, and Tiangang is the hall master on behalf of the incense sect.

To put it bluntly, it was the protector of the Wenxiang Sect in the past, and the twelve days will be amazing, which is equivalent to the class of the protector of the Wenxiang Sect.

The old Taoist priest has sealed the twelve heavenly generals, and if it is announced in the future, it will be the general under him.

He was so satisfied with the money hexagram that he climbed over the wall one day at night and walked to an inconspicuous grocery store on T-shaped street.

This grocery store is a contact point for the Tongshan Island Lake bandits in Taierzhuang, and it is also the secret stronghold of Guan Tianpei, one of the twelve heavenly generals under him.

The old Taoist priest Wang Xun came to the store with a golden mask on his face, and the Silla Nu, who was closing, saw the old Taoist priest in disguise and hurriedly greeted him to the inner room.

This room is not big, Silla Nu hurriedly stepped forward, Wang Xun showed his waist card, and Silla Nu quickly knelt down.

Without even looking at Silano, he walked to one side of the wall and opened the wooden container in the wall.

After opening, he dodged inside, and then pushed open the tailgate but it was a secret door, and after entering the secret door, he walked a dozen steps away, and then came to a secret door.

Pushing open the door, there is a hole inside.

It turns out that the storefront of the grocery store on T-shaped street is just the façade.

The houses here are completely connected around them, and on the outside they look like several, but inside they are actually one.

At this moment, the garden covers an area of two acres, and such an area can only be owned by wealthy families in Taierzhuang, which is on land and water.

The secret door is in a rockery, and out of a long corridor in the rockery, in the corridor, the young man in the white robe stands solemnly, and there is no expression on his face.

When he saw the old Taoist priest with a golden mask appear, he knelt on one knee and said in a chant, "See the sect leader." ”

The old Taoist priest, the young man in the white robe who couldn't laugh, patted his hand and said, "Guan Tianpei, is your mother better now, I have a newly dispensed medicine, you can take it and keep it until you get rid of it!" ”

"Really, God bless, Sect Master mercy!" ，

Guan Tianpei was about to kneel down again, and the old Taoist priest Wang Xun pretended to be serious and said:

"Stand up, come, take the medicine.

My medicine has the effect of clearing heat and relieving heat, removing steaming, and intercepting malaria. ”

At this time, except for some villages on both sides of the canal, especially from Taierzhuang to Weishan Lake, there are swamps and quagmires everywhere.

Therefore, from Hanzhuang Town to Zaozhuang, the straight-line distance is more than 30 kilometers, and there are swamp quagmires on both sides of the post road, which is very difficult to walk.

If there is no other reason, the two towns are most conveniently connected by water.

At this time, the lake was not as fully developed as it is now, and the natural environment and medical level were quite low.

A month ago, on the island of Weishan Lake.

Guan Tianpei's mother in Guanjiazhuang had a very serious illness, which is estimated to be malaria according to today's people.

Malaria is a very dangerous thing even today, let alone the Great Kang Dynasty.

Weishan Lake water bandit Guan Tianpei invited many famous Langzhong, but they couldn't be cured.

The old Taoist priest only used three medicines, and Guan Tianpei's mother's condition was greatly improved.

Guan Tianpei, who didn't obey the jurisdiction of the old Taoist priest very much, is now grateful to the old Taoist priest and is very loyal.

The old Taoist priest asked Guan Tianpei as he walked: "Did the large amount of grain I ask someone to buy scattered from Hanzhuang to various places for storage?" ”

"It's secretly stored in various places, and now our people are ordering the goods, do you want to transport it to the north, sect leader?"

Guan Tianpei bowed back.

The old Taoist priest thought for a while and said: "In the past, the silver in the disaster year was unreliable, I think this year, next year will be the disaster year, we continue to buy grain and store it secretly." ”

The south courtyard is the place where the old Taoist priest works, commonly known as the 'Juyi Hall', where the north courtyard stays, and the grass garden in the west courtyard, plus a few side rooms, all of which were newly expanded last year.

Without saying anything all the way, Guan Tianpei lit the lantern and led the old Taoist to the house in the north courtyard and let the old Taoist enter.
