Chapter XI

As the largest green building in Jingbei City, Hanyue Lou treats its own girls very well.

Not to mention eating and drinking, just talking about rouge gouache, Hanyue Lou bought the first-class ones in Jingbei City.

A top brand like Enyi who can live on the third floor is even more jewelry and clothes all year round.

Although Hua Lao Bustard is a woman from a green house, she knows how to do business better than anyone else.

The four major lists in the world mentioned by Huang Ji before, only there is no "public" figure behind the red face list, but it was manipulated by Hua Lao Bustard, and it can be as famous as the public list.

Treating her own family, she knows that she can't survive forever by only relying on oppression, and she can't just go in and out, but also to be benevolent and righteous, reward and punish clearly, and never covet what her own people deserve.

In this regard, she can compare with the vast majority of businessmen in the world.

But the status of the Qinglou woman is low, and Enyi, who is shy and introverted, is even more ashamed.

Hanyue Lou's food and clothing are worry-free, and she can stay in the golden silk birdcage with peace of mind, and the door is not out, and the second door is not stepping.

She had forgotten how long she hadn't been in this Jingbei City, but she remembered that the last time she came out, she was accompanied by him.

Today's Jingbei City seems to be particularly lively.

Countless people seem to be rushing to the north of the city.

Enyi, who was full of doubts in her heart, gently pulled Lin Anyan's sleeve, and then pointed to the sea of people.

Lin Anyan naturally understood what Enyi meant, so he explained:

"Today is the beginning of autumn, and the Taoist leaders of Qingyun Mountain will come down the mountain to pray for the people. I'm taking you out today, and I also have a sign to ask for a signature, and when there are fewer people in the afternoon, let's go again. ”

Daliang was the first dynasty in ancient times to propose freedom of belief.

Although the imperial court still promoted Confucianism, it did not depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism as in the past.

On the contrary, the court encouraged everyone to find their own faith.

It doesn't matter if you believe in Buddhism or Taoism, as long as you are a decent person and lead people to goodness, the court will be free.

And the 20 years of peace have made various academics and schools spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and for a time a hundred schools of thought contended, and the prosperity of the times.

As one of the four holy places of Taoism, Qingyun Mountain is only 100 miles away from Jingbei City, the capital of Daliang State, and Taoism has naturally become the most popular sect among the people of Jingbei City.

In fact, as one of the biggest pilgrims in Qingyun Mountain, the Lin family wants to ask for a sign, why bother when this person is crowded?

You must know that when you go up the mountain on weekdays, the people who come out to receive them are at least the level of the head of the family, Li Modaochang.

Even Chongyangzi, the head of Qingyun Mountain, personally went down the mountain for ten miles to receive Lin Weige.

However, Lin Anyan is about to travel far away, and it is definitely unrealistic for him to go to Qingyun Mountain at this moment.

What's more, since that heart-to-heart exchange with Lin Weige on a moonlit night, Lin Anyan always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he begged for a sign at this moment, just wishing for peace.

But Lin Anyan underestimated the enthusiasm of the people, and the Laozi Temple in the north of the city in the afternoon was still overcrowded.

Looking at the sea of people who couldn't see the end at a glance, Lin Anyan was a little annoyed.

"These people, I don't see them eating and chanting scriptures on weekdays, but now they are very enthusiastic, do you really think that a group of Taoist priests can avoid their evil deeds?"

Although he has no special beliefs, he always has great respect for saints such as monks and Taoists.

Hearing Lin Anyan's disrespectful words, Enyi hurriedly slapped him a few times.

"It is a good thing that the people have a heart for goodness and righteousness. What evil deeds can they do, can they still be evil to you, the king of Lin Hades?"

Although what Enyi said was not unreasonable, Lin Anyan was still very displeased.

I saw him with his hands behind his back, like an old man, sighed, shook his head and said:

"Do you really think that the common people are here to ask? Most of them came to see the excitement. ”

Enyi, who didn't understand what Lin Anyan meant, looked at him with a puzzled expression, only to hear Lin Anyan explain:

"I just heard from the vendors over there that this time the Taoist priests from Qingyun Mountain came down the mountain, and they came in a big battle. ”

"Not only is there Li Mo, the head of the sect, but also the personal disciples of Chongyangzi, the head of Qingyun Mountain. ”

"You must know that Chongyangzi once said that only four disciples are accepted in his life, and now three of the four have come, which can be said to be rare in a hundred years. ”

As he spoke, Lin Anyan suddenly leaned into Enyi's ear and pretended to be mysterious:

"There is one of the most noticeable big people today, who are you?"

Seeing Lin Anyan's pretentious appearance, Enyi was a little dissatisfied.

"Not you anyway. ”

"Hahahaha, of course not me. He is the eldest apprentice of Daoist Li Mo, and he is also the only apprentice who speaks mysteriously. ”

"Legend has it that Daoist Li Mo met that kid when he went down the mountain to practice, and then took him up the mountain to accept an apprentice, and he was a closed disciple. ”

"It's amazing to close the door as soon as you open the division?"

"It is said that this kid is too spiritual, Li Mo said that being able to be a teacher for him in this life is already a merit cultivated in the third life, and it is enough to educate this person in this life. ”

People come and go in the green building, the guests push the cup and change the lamp, there is nothing to talk about, and the name Xuanji has naturally been mentioned.

Enyi, who had heard of this Taoist name for a long time, couldn't help but have some doubts.

"I heard that this Taoist chief went up the mountain ten years ago and has never come down the mountain in ten years, why did he come here today?"

When Lin Anyan heard this, he smiled contemptuously.

"Hmph, I guess the boy begged his father to take him down so that he could sneak out to see my sister. ”

Seeing Lin Anyan mention such a high-ranking Taoist leader, and still have such a frivolous attitude, Enyi was a mess again.

"You are a little boy, can't you accumulate some virtue? and see your sister, you think you ...... See your sister?!"

Lin Anyan nodded with a wicked smile and said:

"About three years ago, after my sister's 15-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, my dad took me and my sister up the mountain to pray for her. ”

"My sister, you've also heard of it, she looks like a lady, and she's a tomboy in her bones, she took advantage of the fact that we weren't paying attention, and ran to the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain to play alone. ”

"I don't know what happened exactly, but I heard that it saved Yan Chuxuan's life. Who knew that the words would be entangled with my sister. ”

"We stayed in the mountains for seven days, and for five and a half days that boy was stuck at the door of our room every day to see my sister. Say what you want to be vulgar and go down the mountain with my sister. ”

"Later, my sister was annoyed and gave him a good beating, and he ran away. ”

Enyi, who had never heard Lin Anyan mention this past, couldn't help but be amused by the story of the Taoist chief and the people's daughter.

"This is a man of temperament. ”

"I'm a fart with a temperament, but I haven't seen a woman's color blank in the mountains for a long time. When the master told him to take him to the Cold Moon Tower, the kid had all the tricks coming out. ”

"You, sooner or later you will be punished, don't talk nonsense here, I look at the number of people, it is estimated that I will have to wait until it gets dark, you can accompany me to go over there and take a walk." ”

Enyi, who was afraid that Lin Anyan's words would be heard by the people next to her, hurriedly pulled Lin Anyan out of Laozi Temple.

Most of the temples in Keihoku Castle are concentrated in the northern part of the castle.

In addition to the Laozi Temple, which was borrowed by Qingyun Mountain, there are also Confucius Temple, Land Temple, Guan Gong Temple and so on.

There is even a "cross religion", which is said to have been brought by the Great Liang when he ruled the world and the envoys of the Western Regions came to the court.

At that time, the emperor was kind and deliberately chose the best place in feng shui in the north of the city to build a temple for them.

But today, most of the incense has been robbed by the Lao Tzu Temple.

After leaving the Laozi Temple, except for a few people with extremely devout beliefs who worship in the corresponding temple, basically the streets are not a little angry.

Enyi enjoys this kind of moment, the warm afternoon sunshine, walking side by side with her loved one.

At this moment, she feels like all the girls next door, clean, pure, and has a bright future.

Unconsciously, the two walked to the gate of the City God Temple.

If there are still a few devout believers in the previous temples, then the City God Temple is really a big one.

On the one hand, this is the reason for the temple itself.

Since ancient times, there has been no fixed worship of immortals in the City God Temple, and they are different from place to place, and they are basically the famous heroes who have appeared in the local area.

The City God Temple in Jingbei City is even more perfunctory, and the worship is directly the City God, not even a source.

On the other hand, the location of the City God Temple is also not good.

After all, the good feng shui place in the north of the city has been snatched away by the Confucius Temple and the Buddhist temple with many believers, and the small temple of the City God Temple can only lie alone at the end of the street.

Seeing this situation, Enyi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"I once heard a storyteller say that the poor play with ten steel hooks on the cross streets, but they can't hook the flesh and blood of their relatives, and the rich play with knives, guns and sticks in the deep mountains and old forests, and they can't break up the unrighteous guests. ”

"Even the location of the temple where the gods live depends on the number of believers and the amount of incense money. Needless to say, ordinary people. ”

Enyi's words made Lin Anyan quite touched.

Children from poor families would fantasize countless times at night about what it would be like if they were the eldest son of a rich family.

Why wouldn't Lin Anyan think the other way around?

If he was just one of the many children of a poor family, what would his life be like?

Every time he thought about this question, he wanted to know all the secrets of the Lin family as soon as possible and share his parents' worries as soon as possible.

Lin Anyan, who has always been reluctant to show too much of his inner emotions, was pulling Enyi to leave here quickly, but was stopped by a shout.

"Childe is slow, the old man sees that the son's Yintang is black, I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster soon, and I also ask the son to let the old man count a hexagram to see if there is a way to crack it. ”

Lin Anyan followed the prestige and found an old man walking out of a dark alley next to the City God Temple.

The old man was wearing a whitened black Taoist robe that had been washed, and he couldn't tell whether it was the Zhengyi Sect or the Quanzhen Sect, and he was definitely not a Taoist priest from Qingyun Mountain anyway.

I saw that he was holding a banner in his left hand, and a huge bronze mirror in his right hand, and on top of the bronze mirror, there were several copper coins and tortoise shells.

The old man's steps were a little unsteady, and he had to point the ground with a banner with every step he took.

After looking closely, I found that the old man was blind, and he could only rely on the banner in his hand to find the way.

Lin Anyan originally thought that this old man was a disciple of which sect, and the incense was not good today, so he came out to collect work.

But as soon as he saw the words on the banner in the old man's hand, Lin Anyan couldn't help laughing.
