Chapter 47: Lotus Village
No wonder Lin Yi waited for a long time and didn't see anyone coming, and thought that Zhang Wancai would release his pigeons.
It turned out that the coachman encountered wolves on the road and could not get out.
It's a coincidence.
If Lin Yi died in the Taoist Temple, Zhao San would definitely die.
"Dao Chang, please get in the car, and the little one will take you to Lotus Village. ”
Zhao San hurriedly lifted the curtain and said diligently.
"Okay. ”
Lin Yi jumped into the car.
Zhao San didn't dare to delay the hour, so he immediately hurried up, drove around, and ran all the way to Lotus Village.
After walking ten miles out of the forest, you will arrive at the boundary of Lotus Village.
Looking from afar, I saw that the pools were connected, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance.
The pool is not deep, and is covered with bunches of withered lotus leaf stems.
It turns out that these are lotus root ponds.
It is late autumn, the lotus leaves are all dried up and withered, and naturally there is no summer scene of "infinite blue lotus leaves".
At this time, men dressed as farmers are busy in the pond, digging lotus roots under the silt.
The sound of puff and puff came from time to time, and there was an inexplicable sense of pleasure when I listened to it.
Lotus root cultivation is a tradition in Lotus Village.
There are nearly 1,000 acres of lotus root ponds around the whole Zhuangzi.
In summer, the Lotus Village is surrounded by a large area of lotus green leaves, which is spectacular.
Hence the name Lotus Village.
The carriage entered the village, and when it came to a courtyard, it suddenly stopped.
Lin Yi looked out, but saw two big golden characters written on the plaque in front of the mansion: Zhang Mansion.
Undoubtedly, this is Zhang Wancai's mansion.
"Michigan, please get out of the car. Zhao San shouted.
Lin Yi jumped out of the carriage and found that there were many men, women and children standing outside the courtyard, and they were talking in a whisper, they should all be villagers from Lotus Village, coming to see the excitement.
Turn around, look along the street in front of the house, the front and back are long and there is no end, it is estimated that it is more than two miles long, running through the entire Lotus Village.
It can be seen that the lotus village is as big as seven or eight ordinary villages.
"Dao Chief, please!"
Zhao San was respectful and welcomed Lin Yi into the mansion.
Zhang's mansion is not very magnificent, but the courtyard is a little bigger, the houses are a little bigger, and the furnishings are a little wider, which is far from the real rich compound, but in the countryside, it is incomparable.
Today's Zhangfu is particularly lively, in addition to the busy family and maids, what is more eye-catching is the old-fashioned Taoist priests, monks, mages, some holding gossip plates, some carrying peachwood swords, some hanging seven-star prayer beads around their necks, and even the fortune tellers on the street are holding flags to join in the fun.
The reason is very simple, Zhang Wancai is going to hold a Dharma meeting today to exorcise evil spirits for Zhang's mansion and treat his daughter's illness.
Therefore, all the masters of Qingqiu County were invited to come.
Of course, most of the "masters" are uninvited, trying to make some benefits.
For example, as soon as Lin Yi entered the door, he saw several young Taoist priests looking around, wearing brand-new Taoist robes, and chanting "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law", and he was very troublesome.
This is not a true Taoist, almost a warlock.
There were also a few fat-headed and big-eared monks, wearing rough Buddhist beads made of wood, and swaggered into the courtyard.
Good guys, they all said that their families can't eat meat, and these people have a fishy smell all over their bodies.
They obviously don't have the ability to subdue demons and exorcise evil spirits, and they just want to take this opportunity to cheat a little money from Zhang Wancai.
Zhang Wancai is not wronged, how can he be unclear.
But in order to cure his daughter's strange disease, he also endured it, and he could afford this little money.
Maybe there is a master hidden among these Taoist monks.
"Dao Chief, there is a hall in front, and the high-ranking people invited from outside the staff are here to rest with tea," Zhao San took Lin Yi to the middle of the mansion and pointed to the room in front, "Dao Chief, please come in." ”
"Don't worry," Lin Yi looked at the sky, and saw that the sun had set, and the sky and the earth were dark, "Poor Dao is walking around the house, maybe he can find something." ”
Zhao San secretly admired, and said in his heart that the elder is worthy of being a master, and he will do the right thing when he comes, "Okay, Dao Chief, the little one will go and serve the tea first, and if you have something, come here to find the small one." ”
Lin Yi nodded.
Afterwards, he wandered around the courtyard.
The whole Zhangjia Mansion is quite spacious, with dozens of ordinary people's houses, one after another, all of which are large houses with red bricks and blue tiles, separated in small courtyards.
Lin Yi counted, there were seven or eight small courtyards, arranged from south to north, the big one had four or five rooms, and the small one had only one room.
Some are used to raise livestock, some are side courtyards where families and maids live, and some are main courtyards where Zhang Wanfu's family lives.
Of course, he's not here to enjoy the scenery.
Lin Yi wanted to see if the Zhang family really had something evil to do.
No, he had already pinched out a yin probing talisman, pinched the talisman, and slammed the talisman paper to the center of his eyebrows.
The rune paper turns to fly ash.
Lin Yi's ears, eyes and senses were blessed, and he suddenly felt an eerie wind blowing towards his face.
"There seems to be a problem with this mansion!"
With the help of the Yin Detection Talisman, he slowly wandered away, probing carefully, not letting go of any room or corner.
The housekeepers and maids in the courtyard all looked at them curiously and whispered.
Because they knew that Lin Yi was a master invited by Zhang Wancai, they didn't dare to stop it, and let Lin Yi go in and out.
......
It's getting dark.
There were more and more people in the hall.
Looking at it, it is either a Taoist priest, or a monk, and the worst is also a decent monk.
One by one, they sat on their shelves, drinking tea without saying a word, waiting for the puja to begin.
Da-da-da.
With the sound of footsteps like drums, a young Taoist priest walked in.
As soon as he entered, two flaming eyes scanned everyone, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Everyone saw that this young man looked good, with sword eyebrows and square face, and a tall posture, but he was too sloppy, and the Taoist robe he was wearing was fat and big, tattered, like a flower child.
There is also a bulging bag behind it, which is even more ugly.
Everyone looked sideways and scoffed, thinking that even Huazi pretended to be a Taoist priest to make up for it, and this festival was really ridiculous.
The sloppy young man smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone, first introduce yourself, Xiaodao 'Guang Zhenzi', please remember this name, because in the near future, you will find that you have met the first Taoist priest in the world, and today, it will also be the most glorious day of your life." ”
"Haha......"
"There's a madman, hehe!"
"It's not a madman, it's a fool, haha!"
The crowd laughed.
One laughed louder than the other.
Guang Zhenzi ignored the ridicule, and said confidently: "As Shicai said, Xiaodao's lifelong wish is to defeat all Taoist priests and become the first in the world, so everyone here is Xiaodao's opponent." ”
Hearing this, everyone laughed even harder.
"Haha, is this little kid twenty years old, and he dares to brag about it!"
"I don't know how thick the sky is!"
"The first Taoist priest in the world, just by you, the first Taoist in the world is almost called Huazi, haha......" A lame Taoist priest stood up and sneered.
