Shantou County, located at the confluence of Shanshui River and Pounding Yi River, Shantou County Wharf, is also the last wharf of Shanshui River and Pounding Yi River to the sea, its prosperity, than the wharf of Jishui County, is even better.

Since August this year, for some reason, monsters have appeared in the Shanshui River and the Pounding Yi River basin, causing many inconvenient effects to the counties, villages and towns in the two river basins. In addition, the Criminal Investigation Department gradually lifted the blockade of sneaky incidents in various places, and someone in Jishui County announced that "the world has changed drastically, and the Taoist gate has entered the WTO", and there are rumors that the Taoist robe can ward off evil spirits, which has caused the people to rise up a Taoist robe craze.

This trend is particularly strong in Shantou County, walking on the street, four or five of the ten people are wearing Taoist robes, especially the people who travel, and most of the coachmen who drive the horses in the carriage are wearing Taoist robes.

In such a trend of almost all people wearing Taoist robes, an inconspicuous carriage slowly moved from the dock of Shantou County, even if there were two people in Taoist robes sitting on the wheel, they were also out of sight.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Xiao Ko stared at the people coming and going on the official road, all of them were pedestrians in checkpoint robes, and cheered: "Have we arrived? I saw a lot of Taoist friends!"

Xiao Ko also learned to use the term "Taoist friend", and now learned to sell it and use it here, Tong Ling opened the "Law Eye", looked around, and immediately corrected with a smile: "Most of the people on the street are ordinary people, not people in our Taoist sect, not our Taoist friends." ”

Xiao Ko sighed in disappointment and said, "Xiao Ko still thinks that these people are all Daoists! Aren't we going to participate in the Hundred Veins Conference? There should be many Daoists? Why haven't you yet?"

Tongling continued to correct Xiao Ko and said: "We are participating in the Baimai Conference in Anzhou, which is a local Baimai Conference, which can be regarded as making preliminary preparations for next year's Baimai Conference that will spread throughout the entire Dazhen Dynasty. ”

Tong Ling gossiped to Xiao Ko in a colorful voice: "I heard my father say that this conference is not very important, otherwise the delegates who participated would not all be elders and disciples." However, my father was still very happy to be able to represent their side in the Hundred Pulse Conference, but he kept complaining that it was a chore and all kinds of reluctance. Hee-hee......"

seemed to think of the awkward appearance of his father's heart at that time, and Tongling couldn't help laughing. Xiao Ko didn't know why, but she laughed when she saw Tongling, and she was also infected and let out a brass bell-like laugh.

Xiao Ko watched the carriage drive towards the city, ran to the front of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and asked puzzledly, "Where is this going?"

Xuan Mutou replied without replying: "Go to Shantou and see what the next arrangements are." I heard Master say that the Hundred Veins Conference was held on an isolated island in the sea. We need to go to Shantou and take a special sea boat to get there. ”

"Out to sea, Ko hasn't seen the sea yet, what does the sea look like?"

Dinghui laughed and said, "Big, very big, you can't see the edge at a glance, haha......"

The carriage stopped suddenly, Xuan Mu looked at the entire street in front of him was jammed with people in Taoist robes, shook his head and said helplessly: "This street is the only way to go to Shantouguan, the front is blocked, and you can't get in." What can I do?"

Ding Hui stood up and said, "Don't worry, the Baimai Conference will definitely make arrangements, and someone will definitely be left to answer it...... But it's all people in Taoist robes, it's really hard to tell, hehe...... At this time, we are going to ask the Taoist priest of the fortune telling system to make a move, and we can see at a glance which ones are Taoist friends and which ones are not ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged Taoist who was carrying a big box on his back and looked a little depressed with black eyes walked to the carriage, and made a gesture to Xuan Mu, Ding Hui and the few people who did not show up in the carriage, and said, "Poor Taoist burial, I have seen all Taoist friends." Fellow Daoists are here to participate in the Baimai Conference, right? Because there are too many people, the Shantou Temple in front of you has already opened the feng shui array and sealed the view. We have made another arrangement, a few Taoist friends, please come with the poor Tao. ”

Ding Hui was useless for a while, sat down awkwardly, and sneered at Xuan Mu: "Look, what I said is right! The fellow Daoists of the Hundred Veins Conference must have other arrangements, so we don't have to worry about it." ”

The burial led them to a tea stall on a nearby street, where a few young Taoists were busy.

Xuan Burial ordered a little Taoist boy: "Dagen, you come and lead them to the Taoist wharf." When they arrived, the ship should have enough men and was ready to go. ”

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man in a Taoist robe ran out of several Taoist children, and said to the Xuan Burial: "Yes, Xuan Burial Dao Chief." ”

Then Dagen said to Xuan Mu and Ding Hui again: "I've seen the two Taoist leaders, can I get on the wheel? I need to guide you in the way." ”

Ding Hui moved to the right, patted the position on the right where there was still his residual warmth, and said, "Sit here." ”

Dagen thanked Dinghui in a restrained manner, then got into the carriage, pointed in a direction and said, "Go that way, and then go around to the east of the city, we need to get out of the city first." ”

With the guidance of Dagen, the carriage slowly drove out of the county seat from the road with few people, and in this process, Dinghui chatted with Dagen without any shelf.

"Dagen, which lineage of Dao boy are you?"

"It's Shantou. Shantou Guan is famous in our side, since thirty or forty years ago, it has been recruiting Taoist children for many years, but it is difficult to become Taoist children, only the best few children can, and the rest can only go home. Dagen said proudly: "Of course, even if you don't become a formal Taoist child, you can be literate, you can learn some crafts, and you will have a skill when you come out, and you won't starve to death, so many families send their children to Shantouguan." ”

After hearing this, Ding Hui sighed: "Thirty or forty years ago? Yes, I heard that the drastic changes in heaven and earth predicted before were between 210 and 220 in Dazhen, and Shantouguan, as the host of the Anzhou Baimai Conference, naturally had to prepare early, but I didn't expect it to be about thirty years late. To raise so many Taoist children, Shantou has had a hard time all these years, right?"

Dagen shook his head in surprise and said: "No, we have been learning the Tao Jing for a long time, knowing some of the knowledge of Taoism, and the other half a day is the time to learn the art of work, there are carpentry, there are embroidery, etc., but it is mainly carpentry. Once we have learned the craft, we will pay us back. ”

Ding Hui's expression froze, and his face was a little incredulous: "Can it still be like this?"

Dagen said puzzledly: "Isn't this the case you have there?" Although Dagen has also received several waves of Taoist priests these days, most of the Taoist priests are relatively taciturn, not as talkative as Dinghui Daochang, and there is no shelf yet, Dagen is the first time to say so many words to other Taoist leaders.

Ding Hui shook his head and said: "Of course this is not the case over there, well, there is nothing wrong with what Shantou Guan did, you just said that only the best people can become Daotong, which means that when you studied before, you were not even Daotong." That's fine, a lot of limitations. After you became a Taoist boy, did you have a lot of restrictions?"

Dagen nodded and said, "Yes, after all, am I a Taoist child? Naturally, there are many rules, isn't this normal?"

Ding Hui smiled and nodded, "Yes, normal!"

Dagen found out of the city, pointed to the northeast direction and said: "Follow the official road for about a mile to the east, and there will be a path in this direction, turn and follow the path, and then go all the way to the crossing of a village to reach the destination." ”

Xuan Mu nodded and continued to drive the carriage. Ding Hui asked curiously, "Why did we go to that village? Didn't we go to the Taoist wharf?"

Dagen replied: "The village is called a Taoist village, and the wharf built by the river is the Taoist wharf, that's right." ”

"Taoist Village, Taoist Wharf, is this the industry of Shantou?" said Dinghui with some surprise.

"Yes!" Speaking of this, there is no need for Dinghui to ask again, Dagen's tone is full of pride and colorful: "More than ten years ago, the Taoist master and his old man looked at the copper coins and silver taels piled up in the entire warehouse, and said to the Taoist children at that time: 'We people in the Taoist sect do not advocate the enjoyment of the mundane, and there is nothing to spend money on, and the pile in the warehouse also occupies space, so let's be angry and angry at a village, and take your family members to the village'

"Because many of the Taoist boys' families are fishermen, and the viewer has other considerations, he chose a village near the river, and with the remaining money, another wharf will be built for convenience. That's it now, the Taoist village and the Taoist wharf.

"Later, when I had the money, I bought a fishing boat for both the river and the sea, and rented it to the people in the village at a very low price, but I had to maintain it myself, and when necessary, I had to make a cameo appearance as the boatman of the passenger boat, and as we do now, we now have three of these big boats. ”

After hearing this, Ding Hui was really a viewer of Shantou, and admired the five-body cast, this Taoist friend is really a capable person! The reception of this hundred veins conference was obviously a thankless job, and he did it vividly.

Not only did he train many Taoist children who needed to receive them, but he also made a lot of money, and unknowingly saved such a big family business for the Taoist temple.

Although it seems that something is wrong, it makes people can't find fault. This method is amazing!

At first, these Taoist temples were the industry of the feng shui vein system, and later after the establishment of the Taoist gate, the feng shui vein system was completely secluded, and the Taoist temple was handed over to the various branches of the fortune-telling vein system.

Later, after the establishment of the Danyao vein system, he did not intend to take over the Taoist temples in various places, but chose to build his own Taoist temples.

The requirements of the Dan medicine vein system for the Taoist temple and the feng shui vein system are completely different from the fortune-telling vein system, it must have a medicine garden or alchemy room and other special buildings such as the composition, the medicine garden and the alchemy room have high requirements for the geographical environment, which is completely different from the previous Taoist temple.

Shantou Guan is a typical Taoist temple left by the feng shui vein system and the fortune-telling vein system continues.

The fortune-telling lineage that resides in the Taoist temple is also the main force of the fortune-telling lineage.

Ding Hui's heart moved, and asked, "Is that mysterious burial just now from your Taoist temple?"

Dagen shook his head and said: "No, the chief of the Xuan Burial Dao is helping, it seems that because he owes us a favor and wants to pay it back, our master said that he doesn't have to pay it back, he doesn't do it, he has to pay it back, so he takes the initiative to stay and help." ”

"Oh, then what are you good at?"

Dagen said as a matter of course: "I'm good at carpentry, haven't I said it many times?"

Ding Hui was choked for a moment, and reacted: "Carpenter, is it that vein......?" Speaking of which, there is still some origin with our shadow puppetry. ”

Tong Ling smiled and lifted the curtain, and said to Ding Hui: "Which of the various branches in the Dao Gate has no origin?"

Ding Hui was choked again, and glared at Tong Ling angrily: "There is really a relationship." If I hadn't made a mistake, Shantou Guan should have been a puppet lineage, our shadow puppet line and the puppet lineage were one family hundreds of years ago, and they were different branches that split off later, and this origin is definitely not comparable to you. ”

Tong Ling was not polite, and immediately retorted: "That's the case, all the fortune-telling veins are split from the feng shui vein system, isn't it also very related? How many times have the Daomen hundred veins been split, fused, changed their names, etc., which branch of the Daomen Baimai has no origin? Hmph, you will deceive people." ”

After saying that, he lowered the curtain again.

Ding Hui was angry, and said to Dagen: "Don't listen to this female Taoist priest's nonsense, our two veins are really related, you just treat me as your master." ”

Dagen scratched his head, knowing how to answer, smirked twice, and nodded.

The carriage turned from the official road to a small road, and the Taoist village was almost there.

After the carriage turned into the path, there were golden wheat fields on both sides, and on the side of the road were neat fields, and people were moving in the fields from time to time.

As the carriage drove by, passing by a piece of fields, there were people working in the fields on both sides of the road, greeting Dagen sitting on the wheel: "Dagen, are you back?"

"Dagen, another Taoist chief has come to our Zhuangzi?"

"Let's go to the pier and take a boat to Xiandao again, right?"

Dagen shouted Uncle with a smile one by one, and the aunt nodded in response.

"yes!"

"That's right!"

All the way to the gate of the village, Dagen said: "This is the Taoist village." Your carriage had better be left in the village, I don't seem to have arranged a carriage yet, go to my house, turn there, turn that way, there you are. ”

Dagen got out of the car, hesitated, scratched his head, and reminded embarrassedly: "Our family is not dedicated to this, so it may not be done thoughtfully, that, you remember to bring important things, otherwise if it is lost or damaged, our family can't afford to pay for it." ”

Ding Hui smiled and said, "Don't worry, our belongings are all carried with us, and we won't embarrass your family." ”
