Chapter Seventy-Four: Yanding Mansion
Yandingfu is the gate of Gyeonggi and the most important gateway to the capital, and anyone from the south who wants to go to the capital by land must pass through here.
The capital is densely populated and requires a large amount of goods and goods, so the caravans passing through Yanding Mansion are like dragons and horses, stretching endlessly.
There is also another canal that feeds the Great Zhou Shenjing and draws the wealth of the world.
When Kongchenzi arrived here, there were caravans of carriages and horses on the left and right, and the wheels were rolling on the avenue, and the voices of people and horses were constantly neighing, among which the envoys from the Dongyu Kingdom were also seen, pulling some rare treasures from the East China Sea.
Looking at the tall city wall in the distance, the donkey general was eager to try again.
It's as if you're calculating how many walls you've conquered, and the higher you are, the more you feel conquered.
"Master, shall we go in directly this time?" the donkey general's eyes were full of excitement as his hooves rubbed against the dust, raising the dust of chance.
"Watching the donkey general leap over this city wall is as easy as a bag to get something. ”
Kong Chenzi patted the donkey's head: "I'm not the one who cries and the dog thieves, how can we always climb over the wall." ”
Kong Chenzi pointed to the city gate in the distance, looking at the scene of the endless caravan crowd engulfed like a hundred rivers.
"This time, of course, I walked in from the main entrance. ”
The Empty Dust Immortal sorted out the spotless gossip cloud pattern robe, and straightened the ring gold crown with long hair tied on his head, although the gold crown was simple, but the ornamentation on it revealed exquisiteness.
Insert the hosta again, revealing the jade pendant on the waist, a real immortal in the world with fairy wind bones and graceful manners.
Kong Chenzi nodded with satisfaction, and quietly took the bronze mirror into his arms, today he was still as chic and handsome as usual, and there was no opponent.
drove the donkey protector under the seat to quickly go towards the Yanding Mansion: "Straighten your back, hold your head high, and follow the master to see the elegance of this Gyeonggi land." ”
"Donkey General has an order!" the donkey ran in unison, raising dust and sand all the way, and many people exclaimed.
For the first time, everyone found out that a donkey could run so fast.
There is a table in the corridor of the city gate, and a city gate official sits at the table, holding a brush, and records the origins of the people who have passed by.
The gate was entered by ordinary people, and the caravan had to go around and enter through the east gate, where the registration was stricter and more detailed, and the type and name of the goods were recorded.
The Taoist stopped at the table on a donkey, and the city gate official looked up at him with a pen, and nodded: "Oh! ”
The Great Zhou sage Son of Heaven worships Taoism and Buddha, so the land of Gyeonggi still respects Taoist monks very much, and there are some preferential treatments.
Coupled with the extraordinary popularity of the Dao in front of him, the city gate official asked carefully: "Does the Dao Chief have a degree?"
Gao Xian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and involuntarily touched his cuffs, but immediately stopped moving.
Thinking back, my own Tianyun Temple is a small temple in the deep mountains and old forests, it belongs to a three-no Taoist temple, and the old Taoist priest himself is not necessarily whether he has a degree, even if he does, it is estimated that it is also the degree of the previous dynasty, how can he recognize it today.
Not to mention himself, he belongs to the Taoist priest of Youfang who has no degree.
As soon as the city gate official saw the abrupt stop of the Taoist's movements, he was probably clear, and his original respectful attitude became suspicious.
"The Taoist is the first time to go down the mountain, and he didn't bring it or record it? "The gatekeepers seem to be more flexible.
The Taishang Induction Chapter is a Taoist classic, as long as you are a disciple of Taoism, you will generally recite it, especially in Gyeonggi, where the worship of Taoism is particularly strong, most readers will also memorize it.
“。。。。 ”
When the empty dust son is on the mountain, he is busy meditating day by day, seeking immortals in the valley, practicing the supreme dream scriptures, and since going down the mountain, he has been going around to eliminate demons and defend the road, where does he have the time to memorize these.
The city gate official immediately looked at the Taoist with the appearance of a charlatan, where is there a Taoist disciple who can't even memorize the Taishang induction chapter?
"Tao Te Ching, Tao Te Ching will always be there, right?"
Kong Chenzi touched the Tao Te Ching on his chest, and every time he fell asleep, he would take it and recite it.
But every time I read it halfway, I went to the dream meeting Zhou Gong, and I haven't turned to the second half yet, but those idle books and strange words, the empty dust fairy reads very energetically, and some classic stories are memorized like a stream.
The city gate official looked distressed, and pointed at the Taoist with a pen: "You are embarrassed to pretend to be a Taoist priest, and you are embarrassed to say that you are a disciple of the Taoist Gate?"
"Alas!" shook his head and sighed.
"It's so unprofessional. At this time, many people queuing up to enter the city also began to talk and point at the Taoists.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, these years, there are more and more liars, it is really the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient!" A man who was waiting to enter the city with a firewood burden was also a believer, and he really couldn't see this scene, and he couldn't wait to step forward and recite the Tao Te Ching aloud, so that this fake Taoist priest could look good and study hard.
"Even young people don't learn well, what is a talent to do? Be a charlatan. An old man in brocade clothes also said.
"The Taoist priests are all extremely simple, dedicated to the Tao, look at this person. "Suspicions were pointed out.
Everyone looked at this person, the silk gossip robe, gold crown, hosta, and accessories were all complete, and there was a jar of wine hanging on the donkey under the seat, and when they smelled the wine, they knew that it was worth a lot.
"Such impropriety, such extravagance and greed for pleasure, he must be a false Taoist!"
Everyone responded one after another, and gave the charlatans sex.
The empty dust immortal who killed the silver flower demon, destroyed the Five Gods Sect, and solved the disaster in Lingzhou, and carried countless people to worship the true immortals all the way, and as soon as he entered the Yanding Mansion in the land of Gyeonggi, he was beaten into a fake Taoist.
The donkey general almost laughed out loud when he sat down, and the two rows of big white teeth showed out but he didn't dare to make a sound.
However, it can already feel without looking up, and now its old man's face is estimated to be how dark and how dark.
The gatekeeper made a big stroke on the book.
"There is no degree, and there is no entrance fee. ”
With a wave of his big hand, he pointed to the wooden cash box on the side and spit out two words.
"Pay the money!"
When it was over, he added: "If you don't pretend to be a Taoist priest, you will be punished twice!"
The crowd cheered in unison, the false Taoist priest was punished, and justice was served.
The heroic city gatekeepers were supported by everyone, and they returned the salute one after another, and the noise was not extinguished for a long time.
Only the Taoist walked into the city with a disgraced face, went out of the Yongdao and went to the street, the sun shone on his body, and the Taoist pulled his mouth with a sigh of interest, covering the jade pendant on his waist.
On the contrary, the donkey general under the seat finally couldn't help it: "Quack quack, quack, sir! I think the little donkey's previous proposal was good, and with the strength of the little donkey's feet, he can easily leap over this high wall." ”
"Come without a shadow, go without a trace, only then can you have the style of an immortal. ”
General Donkey shook his head again and again and sighed: "It's a pity that you didn't agree, master!"
A pair of donkey ears swayed triumphantly, vigorously proclaiming his foresight.
It's a pity that when I turned my head, I saw a handful of jade whisks thrown out and slapped on the donkey's buttocks.
"Whew!"
"Didn't the master say that you are not allowed to talk without permission in the city, go quickly, don't rub in. ”
"Whew!"
The donkey general felt that his whipping was not causing problems in this regard.
