Zhang Wen was very disgusted with Qingfeng, but he didn't show it on his face. Because Zhang Wen understands his situation, in this place, being able to be taken care of by the people around Ye Feng will be a lot less troublesome, and Zhang Wen doesn't need to worry about himself. Just kidding, he was a junior high school from the age of eighteen, and he had been in the officialdom for seven or eight years, and according to Zhang Wen's comprehension ability and learning ability, he had already learned the quiet recruitment of officials at home.

So Qingfeng didn't feel Zhang Wen's disgust at all, Zhang Wen's expression was peaceful, and Qingfeng felt that the two of them were like acquaintances, neither friends nor enemies, which made people feel very relaxed.

Qingfeng took Zhang Wen into a carriage and passed through an archway, which is a very distinctive thing in the Ming Dynasty and very symbolic. Inside the torii, many people kneel in front of a stone staircase. The stone staircase is paved with white bricks, long and wide, and very imposing. Seeing this, Zhang Wen said in his heart: It is about as high as the stone staircase at the entrance of the Taihe Palace, and the heart of this Mingjiao is obviously true.

In the open space under the stone staircase, there were about a few thousand people kneeling, some prostrating and prostrating, some holding incense and chanting words, all of them devout, some of them dressed gorgeously, some in rags, ranging from three religions to nine streams. There was also a large incense burner in front of him, two small incense burners, and there was a lot of incense burning in them, and the smoke was filling, which seemed to Zhang Wen to be a miasma, because he did not believe in God...... In fact, not only did he not believe in God, but neither did the sages.

Qingfeng looked out of the car window and said: "Today, Wannian Building worships the 'lifeless old mother', and there are more people than usual. Let's go in through the side door.

At this moment, a white team of horses rushed from under the archway, and when they entered, the people on the horses all rolled off their horses. I saw that all the knights were dressed in snow-white robes, wearing white gauze hats on their heads, and long swords at their waists. Zhang Wen quickly saw that they were all women.

Qingfeng saw that Zhang Wen was looking at those people, so he explained: "The Holy Aunt is back." ”

Zhang Wen couldn't help asking, "What does the Holy Aunt do?" ”

Qingfeng smiled: "Serve the childless mother...... You don't understand the others, to put it simply, it's the daughter of Sect Master Han. ”

Qingfeng smiled and spoke, without any pious expression, it seems that this guy doesn't believe in any gods at all like Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen noticed that after the white-clothed people came in, the people in the open space all moved out of the way, and their faces were full of piety and awe.

At this time, a woman in white shouted: "The holy aunt has arrived!" The crowd hurriedly made way of a wide path leading to the stone staircase, and knelt on the ground and recited the words. Another man in white carried a long ribbon and spread it on the stone staircase to the temple above.

After a while, everyone in white walked in with a sedan chair and stopped when they walked under the stone stairs. One of the white-clothed men said loudly: "The lifeless old mother saves the suffering, the holy aunt serves the old mother, has mercy on all sentient beings, and edicts the people of the Sect." The edict said: Pursue the good doctrine, the rich give money and food to cultivate merit, and this religion builds a righteous warehouse to help the orphaned and the sick and needy. All White Lotus followers, whether men or women, rich or poor, are brothers and sisters, and they are treated as one family, equal and mutually helpful......"

Zhang Wen understood that they called themselves the White Lotus Sect out of necessity, and in fact the core institution was the dry method of the Ming Sect.

After the man in white finished reading, the sedan curtain opened, and he saw a woman in white walking out of the sedan chair.

The holy aunt was dressed in white, spotless, and looked like a fairy from a distance. She was tall and dressed in a white silk skirt, and she looked very dignified, because her back was to Zhang Wen, and Zhang Wen couldn't see her face. At this time, two white-clothed men covered the holy aunt with fans, and Zhang Wen couldn't see it. The Holy Aunt walked up from the ribbon on the ground, and soon disappeared into the temple.

The congregants in the open space continued to kowtow and sing praises. Zhang Wen and the others got out of the carriage, he was on a cane, and the group slowly entered the Wannian Building from the side door of the temple. There were a few people wearing Taoist robes standing inside, who should know Qingfeng, and when they saw Qingfeng coming in, they didn't stop them, and bowed down.

A middle-aged Taoist walked over, clasped his hands and bowed: "Amitayus longevity, poor Dao to meet the master of the Qingfeng Altar." ”

Qingfeng said: "Is the sect leader back?" ”

The middle-aged Taoist glanced at Zhang Wen next to him, opened his mouth, and finally said simply: "I haven't come back yet." What does the altar master want to see the sect master, just now the holy aunt has come back, if it is an important matter, and let the poor Dao report it in, let the holy aunt decide. ”

Qingfeng shook his head and said: "The pomp and circumstance of the Holy Aunt is exquisite, and when she is half a day younger, I think you will do it." This is an important guest of the childe, and he was originally going to let the sect leader take care of it personally, but the sect leader didn't come back. You arrange a place for him to live, do you understand how to arrange it? ”

When the Taoist heard that it was the honored guest of the prince, his expression was dazed, and he bowed down and said: "Please go to the confession hall to rest for a while, and the poor Taoist will immediately let people inform the holy aunt and ask the holy aunt to decide." ”

Qingfeng said: "That's okay, just do it." I'm not going...... Shenggu's courtyard, you can't get in, you have to twist and turn a few times to pass a word, I won't wait, you will entertain Master Zhang. Qingfeng turned back to Zhang Wen and said, "We are acquaintances, remind Master Zhang, don't walk around if you have nothing to do, it's safest to do things in this front hall, you can worship your mother." Especially the courtyard in the north, don't get close, the holy aunt lives inside, the man can't go in, be careful of being cut by her sword when you wander around. ”

Zhang Wen said helplessly: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

The Taoist stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”

Zhang Wen followed the man to a hall, where statues of gods were still enshrined, and there were incense and candles. Coffee table and chairs waiting for guests in front of the hall.

Sure enough, as Qingfeng said, I waited for a long time and didn't see anyone. I don't know how long it took, but I saw a man in white come in and asked Zhang Wen to go to another place to see the holy aunt. This made Zhang Wen a little surprised, originally he thought that he was just arranging a room to live, but he didn't expect the holy aunt to attach so much importance to it and receive him personally.

Out of the confessional hall, walk east along the corridor. The man in white took Zhang Wen into another room, Zhang Wen thought that this so-called holy aunt would hide behind the curtain and listen to the government, but after entering the house, he saw the holy aunt sitting on a chair, without a hat, without any cover.

At this time, Zhang Wen saw the appearance of the holy aunt clearly, she was about in her early twenties, with a smooth forehead, willow eyebrows and single eyelids, a straight nose, and a pointed chin. Her neck was straight, and her expression was cold. gave Zhang Wen's first impression of an ice beauty.

"Lord Zhang, please sit down and talk." The holy aunt glanced at Zhang Wen's limping leg and pointed to the chair next to her. Zhang Wen noticed that she had long nails, long nails are not something that any woman can look good at, and whether the nails can be beautiful also depends on her physical condition.

Zhang Wen arched his hand and said: "Thanks to your hospitality in the next, the holy aunt knew so quickly that it was Zhang Wen in the next, and admired and admired." ”

Shenggu said coldly: "Not only do I know that you are Zhang Wen, but I also know exactly what year you were born, what year you were a Jinshi, your career resume, and how you came here." Except for the fact that I haven't seen you in person, I have all your information. Are you really asking Zhang? ”

Zhang Wen was stunned and said: "Now that I have been captured by the enemy and become a prisoner, who is still pretending to be me, what is the benefit?" ”

Zhang Wen felt very strange about her kind of questioning, am I really Zhang Wen very important to her?

The Holy Aunt said expressionlessly, "Soon I will be able to get confirmation." ”

Zhang Wen smiled innocently, feeling that this woman was boring, just a captive, why was she so serious, and the military and political power was not in her hands.

There was a little anger on the face of the holy aunt, probably because Zhang Wen made that kind of smile, which made her feel like she was being mocked, and she said: "I heard that although you are a civil official, you are very good at fighting? ”

Zhang Wen immediately understood her intentions, it was nothing more than to laugh at his defeat, Zhang Wen simply followed her meaning and said: "The general of the defeated army does not dare to be the name of being able to fight." ”

Shenggu was a little surprised, she was suddenly messed up by this guy in her heart. She originally despised Zhang Wen's frivolity, but after a while, she felt that this person was a little arrogant and didn't take her seriously at all, and the holy aunt was obviously rarely despised by others, so she was a little angry in her heart, and then Zhang Wen said that he was the general of the defeated army, as if he was very modest. Several changes in a short period of time affected the calm state of mind of the Holy Aunt, she took a breath lightly, settled her mind, and said calmly and objectively: "As far as I know, Ye Gongzi thinks that Master Zhang's defeat lies in not knowing the enemy's situation and taking the enemy lightly. ”

Zhang asked, "Oh? It seems that the Holy Aunt still knows how to march and set up formations? ”

"I don't understand, I have someone here who understands, and I have fought with Master Zhang, and I will be back in a while."

After a while, a woman in armor appeared at the door, and the woman arched her hand and said, "The last general will see the Holy Aunt." Zhang Wen turned his head to look, and saw that the woman was tall, with dark skin on her face, and she was wearing an iron helmet, and the helmet was being held in her hand.

The holy aunt said: "It's just right, you also come in and sit." ”

The woman walked into the room and looked at Zhang Wen very frequently.

The female general finally couldn't help but ask, "You are Zhang Wen?" ”

Zhang asked, "Exactly below." ”

The holy aunt looked at Zhang and asked, "She is Mu Xiaoqing, who led the army to besiege Wenzhou a few months ago and was defeated by the official army, is she the army commanded by Lord Zhang?" ”

"Oh, the battle of Wenzhou is General Mu's men? Fortunately, I will be honored. ”

Mu Xiaoqing arched his hand and said: "The general of the defeated army is ashamed." ”

Zhang Wenxin said: The rebel army was too bad last time, it was not equipped with equipment, it was not morale, and it also brought a large number of refugees to disturb the morale of the army! Zhang Wen was very angry when he thought of this, and he couldn't help but say: "Your army attacked Wenzhou last time...... With all due respect, it's about the same as a rabble, which makes me mistakenly think that the rebels are all such people! I led the main force into Fujian, only to encounter a completely different army, not only with guns, but also with artillery. Why is there such a big difference in the strength of your armies? ”

Mu Xiaoqing whispered indignantly: "The people in my hands want money but no money, and they want food but no food. The people and horses in Jianning Mansion are Ye Gongzi's ......"

"Mu Xiaoqing!" The holy aunt suddenly scolded sharply.

Seeing this, Zhang Wen quickly guessed the situation: Obviously, the people on the sect leader's side were dissatisfied with Ye Feng, but they had to swallow their anger because of their lack of strength, otherwise what would the holy aunt do to scold Mu Xiaoqing?

Mu Xiaoqing opened her mouth, and finally only said, "Yes, Holy Aunt." ”

Seeing Zhang Wen's thoughtful look, the holy aunt said coldly: "Master Zhang, you live here for the time being, you should understand your identity, and you can't go in and out casually." I'm telling you, I'll be able to confirm your identity soon, and if you're not Zhang Wen, the end will be miserable. ”

Zhang Wen was stunned, and said in his heart: I am not Zhang Wen, why may I not be Zhang Wen? In her tone, it was as if she was probably not really asking.

Zhang Wen directly expressed his doubts: "I didn't understand what the Holy Aunt said. ”

The holy aunt said with a murderous face: "I will understand soon." That's all for today, hopefully we'll have a chance to meet for the second time. ”

Zhang asked: Didn't Ye Feng say that Lao Tzu is safe to live here? How do you feel that this holy aunt may kill herself?

The holy aunt couldn't say anything, stood up and went out, and Mu Xiaoqing also went out. After a while, the middle-aged Taoist came over and said, "Poor Dao has arranged a place for Master Zhang to stay, please come with me." ”

Zhang Wen's place of residence is next to the front hall, and there is a stone statue in the courtyard, probably a certain Bodhisattva, Zhang Wen does not know which Bodhisattva. The courtyard was quiet, and as long as the door was closed, the voices of those believers chanting and worshipping God could hardly be heard. Zhang Wen was very tired of that kind of voice, and thought it was a miasma of pretending to be a ghost.

Zhang Wen's leg injury was not healed, he didn't leave the yard at all, and stayed in the yard all day, very depressed.
