Volume 1 The First Test Chapter 2 Opening the Blessed Land
Chen Wenbo's three carriages were covered with green cloth curtains on the roofs, which could cover Chen Wenbo's breath and avoid the detection of outsiders. In the Imperial City, there is a ban on today's Imperial City, and the eyes of those outsiders are not too wanton. Now that you're out of the Imperial City, you have to be careful!
Since that battle, the seven sons of Confucianism have become the fear of those outsiders. On the surface, he still respects and will not shout and kill, but the eating appearance of those fed forces is ugly. Several secular dynasties even issued a ban on Confucianism to expel and persecute Confucianism in China.
Confucianism has been imprisoned, luck has been reduced to the minimum, and many sects that have a relationship with Confucianism have not only been indignant about it, but also secretly given a lot of help, just like the Guigu Sect, the Gongyi Sect, the Mo Family, and the Bingsheng Sect...... They are all contemporaries and prosperous sects of Confucianism, and after that battle, hundreds of schools of thought contended, branched out, and flourished. Of course, there are also some emerging sects of immortal cultivation, and the development and growth of the past thousand years is also due to the struggle of Confucianism, and they have more or less sympathized with and helped Confucianism. Confucianism is moving forward in difficulties and developing in difficulties.
Confucianism cultivates righteousness, but is not good at fighting, except for the ancestor. Therefore, Confucianism hatched a plan to revitalize Confucianism and cultivate Haoran righteousness in the world, not only with Confucian classics, but also with the sword of Confucianism, the sword of Haoran. Chen Wenbo's purpose in taking the risk to leave Beijing this time was to carry out a step in the implementation of this plan.
Lijia Village is an important part of this plan. The group went out of the West Gate, traveled 2,000 miles from Zhongzhou to Yuzhou, turned northeast through Xinzhou, and finally passed through the Kuaiqiu Mountains, turned back to Yangqi Town, Zhongzhou, 600 miles away, Chen Wenbo and they walked 5,000 miles.
The original intention of the founding of the Great Chen State is only the clearest among the previous emperors, there are 25 blessed lands, which are the world's luck scattered by the ancestors of the five major lands in the world, and each emperor will choose a blessed land as the seed of this generation's spark, which is not only the hiding place of the Confucian disciples, but also the blessed place of the descendants of the Chen family. Just like Lijia Village, it is the blessed land of Chen Jiarui, and the Li family is the habitat of one of the seventy-two sages under the ancestor surnamed Li, who either relies on the enchantment set up by the immortal gate to cover it, or relies on the secret method of the ancestor to cover the heavens, similar to Chen Wenbo's secret method is one of them.
And the Chen family is the blood of the ancestors, changing the surname to cover the heavens, and the Chen family is also using the true dragon luck to protect these Confucian sparks. They are waiting, waiting for a prosperous king Zhongxing, Zhongxing Confucianism, and carrying forward the world's Confucianism under Haotian, no longer cowering.
The purpose of Chen Wenbo's trip is to open this blessed land, Lijia Village is forty miles away from Yangqi Town, ten miles of post roads, and thirty miles of mountain roads. Chen Wenbo and his entourage were not in a hurry to go to Lijia Village, but stayed at the Yuelai Inn in Yangqi Town, and arranged for a servant to lurk in the surroundings. Because Lijiacun is too important to Confucianism, it can't be exposed to people, and it doesn't dare to make a slight mistake, so it has to wait for three days, and if there are people who follow it, how can it be exposed in three days.
There is another reason, that is, when approaching Yangqi Town, Chen Wenbo pinched his fingers and counted a hexagram, the hexagram is like a view of the wind and the earth, looking at his life, the gentleman is not to blame, there is an opportunity in Yangqi Town, and it is the opportunity of Lijia Village.
Therefore, Chen Wenbo still had to wait for that opportunity in Yangqi Town, so the group stayed in the Yuelai Inn, and the three carriages were parked in the open space at the entrance of the inn.

Li Family Village, the village chief Li Wanshan, is also waiting, the Li family has been waiting here for thousands of years, waiting for dozens of generations, the whole village is willing to guard the poor, but also to protect this blessed land, so that no trace of luck leaks out.
An important measure to maintain this luck is to use the local land temple to suppress the fortune, there are two land temples in the village The address of the feng shui pole yang and the pole yin in the valley is the place where the land temple must be at the pole yin point to lock the luck in the valley firmly, the feng shui fortune in the valley changes once every 60 years, the yin and yang are exchanged once, and the land temple in the village must be relocated, except for the land statue, the rest are all new.
Although Lijia Village is poor, it is more than enough to build a land temple to lift the whole village, and calls on every family to contribute money and efforts to earn merit.
There is a famous boy named Li Zude in the village, who is clever and stubborn, and together with Li Zucheng and Liu Huan, they are all fifteen or sixteen and a half children, and they decided to go to the town together.
The road out of the mountain in the village is to go along the river, zigzag and mean, around the mountain, but it is quite flat, there are a few in the riverbed flat, there are a few places through the river, there are four low stone bridges, if in the summer flood season, the rain overflows, the road out of the mountain is extinct, only take the path on the mountain, which is also only the village hunters and herb pickers walk.
Li Zucheng said excitedly: "Brother, what are we going to the town to do this time, go to the monk's temple to steal a few futons?"
Li Zude slapped Li Zucheng on the head and said: "What's in the futon, it's best to tear off the weft curtain of Qingxuguan, but it's a pity, those cow noses are watching tightly." ”
Li Zucheng covered his aching head, took a half step back and said, "The weft curtain on the stage is also good." ”
Li Zude waved his hand again, and when he saw that Zu Cheng didn't take half a step back, he said angrily: "You are stupid, the stage is so high, you dare to climb up." ”
Liu Huan said: "Then, what is still missing in the Land Temple?"
The three of them suddenly fell into thought, and shouted almost at the same time:
"Incense burner!" The three teenagers still don't know how much luck these three incense burners will bring to Confucianism and themselves!
"By the way, the incense burner is not so big, the weather is so cold, there is no incense burning in the afternoon, the monks will not watch in the front hall, they will hide in the back hall. ”
"The monk does not eat at noon, and when he eats fast at noon, the front hall must be unguarded. ”
"In this way, the three of us have too big a goal together, it's not easy to start, go to the City God Temple, the Monk Temple, and the Qingxu Temple respectively, and see who can get the incense burner, and we will respect him as the head in the future. ”
"That's it!" The three young Chinese New Year's Eve walked for more than half a day on the mountain road before turning to the post road.
The three teenagers didn't care about the post road without a village sign, and saw the road sign on the left side of the post road: 'Yangqi Town, ten miles', so the three teenagers ran up on the post road bluestone road, and couldn't wait to get back to the village early.
Yangqi Town, located on the edge of the post road, the scale is not large, business travelers often settle down here, there are two inns and a post station, usually there are more miscellaneous people in the town, and the shops are also a lot of miscellaneous things.
The three of them passed by the Yuelai Inn, and saw that there were three carriages in front of the inn, the green cloth weft curtain, the green cloth curtain behind the car, the guests seemed to be resting in the inn, the three teenagers got together and underestimated for a while, and saw a teenager swing to a carriage, and no one paid attention to it, ripped off the weft curtain above the carriage, kicked it in his arms, and ran away.
Another boy, seeing that the first boy had not attracted the attention of others, also came to the second carriage, tore off the weft curtain above, pulled down the curtain of the door, carried it in his arms, and ran away, and disappeared into the market.
The third teenager, as he did, disappeared into the town.
In less than half an hour, before the time, three teenagers gathered in the north of the town, each wrapped in three bulging objects with green cloth baggage, smiled at each other, did not dare to go on the post road, ran north along the field river, estimated the distance, sneaked back to the post road, first looked around, looked at the mountain, and then folded the post road, ran along the outside of the poplar tree of the post road, until he saw the sign of 'Yangqi Town, Ten Miles', ran on the post road, folded off the west side of the post road, and disappeared behind the poplar tree.

Chen Wenbo and his entourage walked out of the inn, looked at the bare roof of the carriage, smiled meaningfully, and said in their hearts: What kind of chance is this? ”
"Master, where is my incense?" An old woman, whose daughter-in-law was about to give birth, the more the family was more worried in the end, so she brought her son to this incense is not too vigorous, only one big and one small monk in the temple to burn incense to keep the mother and child safe.
The little monk is actually not small, the beard is freshly scraped, he made a fast meal at noon, and waited for the old monk to eat and sleep, and the old monk said that he had begun to practice. The little monk is so angry, you are still snoring in this practice.
I am also a little tired, I am shrinking in the corner of the east side, the afternoon sun outside the temple is shining obliquely, I am dazed, I heard the sound of talking, I woke up in shock, put my hands together and bowed slightly, this party still has to do enough, a spoiled and unfazed look: "Where did the donor come from, naturally inserted in the incense burner?"
"Then may I ask the master, where is the incense burner?"
The little monk woke up completely and opened his eyes, but saw that there was only a handful of incense ashes left on the offering table, and the incense burner was gone.
The little monk was blinded, regardless of the old woman and the young man who had incense, and ran behind him, shouting as he ran: "Master, Master, it's not good, the incense burner has been stolen!"
The old woman and the young man looked at each other, and a kind of uneasiness came to their hearts, "Mother, let's go to Qingxuguan, the Taoist chief there can be tricked." ”
"Okay, okay, Amitabha, it's not that we are insincere, guilty of sin!"
"Mother, let's go quickly. ”
Qingxuguan, there is a thousand years of history, at that time the town did not have the current scale, in the east of the town from the town is still some distance, with the increasing prosperity of the town, the scale of the town has touched the hill in the east of the town, standing on the stairs and going up eighty-one steps, it is to the Qingxuguan, there is no door wall, four or five fine houses behind a large hall, pine and cypress, the scenery is also quiet.
Not long after, the same scene happened, "Dao Chief, where is my incense?"
... ...
"Hey, two, don't draw the stick?"
"Don't smoke it, continue the incense, how to continue the Ding furnace is gone, we still go to the City God Temple. ”
An old Taoist, pinching his fingers and constantly flying, his hand was about to break, and he shook the stick holder so loudly that it spilled all over the ground, and the old Taoist broke out in a cold sweat, and while pulling the stick, he cried: "Can't, can't! Where is my incense burner?
The fairy wind bones of the past are gone.
Chenghuang Temple, only a lonely temple, is located in the middle of the town, there is a banner erected in front of the temple, unattended, the town's night patrol head settles here, by the way, clean up the fruit, pour incense ashes, clean up some sundries. Then there are two beggars who hide here and sleep at night.
The mother and son, supported through the small square, walked into the temple gate, and had a little melancholy, completely cold, just like the weather in the first month, pulling out the cold.
On the offering table in the City God Temple, there is only a handful of incense ashes......
——————
The three teenagers returned to the village, washed the incense burner in the river, hid the incense burner with green cloth in a haystack at the entrance of the village, and then went to the carpenter's shop in the village.
Carpenter Zhao of the carpenter shop, a foreigner, came to the village ten years ago and was single. Belongs to the last foreigner to come to Lijia Village, because he is sincere, does not take advantage of small advantages, is more generous, has a good temper, and is very popular with the villagers, in fact, this is also the consciousness of the newcomers.
At that time, Carpenter Zhao was a bachelor and was bullied by the old ladies in the village, and later Carpenter Zhao married a local widow, the child was less than one year old, and he was also a foreigner.
Not to mention, Carpenter Zhao really took the two of them well, and knew this child as his own, and a few years later, Carpenter Zhao's family added another girl, and she was still good to that child. The people in the village really accepted Carpenter Zhao, and the carpenter work in the village finally had a serious carpenter to handle it. The carpenter does a good job, the price is fair, and the help of the small ones does not charge money, and every family in the village has a Zhao carpenter to do the work. Therefore, the family has a good reputation in the village.
This is also the reason why the first of the three teenagers remembered was Carpenter Zhao, and when they came to the carpenter shop, they saw Carpenter Zhao carrying an axe and touching a pile of wood. Li Zude shouted: "Uncle Zhao." ”
Carpenter Zhao turned around and saw the three young men who were not doing their jobs, so he quipped: "Xiaode, you have decided to be my apprentice." ”
"My mother won't let me, I came here secretly. ”
Carpenter Zhao glanced at the other two teenagers, who were at a good age to learn the craft and exert their efforts, "What about the two of you, who wants to learn the craft from me, I am a personal disciple of the public loss class." ”
"Blow, blow, Uncle Zhao, you don't have a good son, why don't you teach him?"
"That's nature, my public loss class 36 axe method, can split mountains and rivers, unparalleled in the world. Ignore those who don't know what they can do, and ask the class to get an axe. ”
"Uncle Zhao, you are a very good person, change this bragging virtue, you will be better. ”
"Okay, if any of you want to be my apprentice that day, you have to do it as soon as possible, I will only devote myself to teaching one disciple in my life, don't miss the opportunity. ”
There was a joke that Carpenter Zhao was like this, and the people in the village loved to laugh with Carpenter Zhao.
The three of them showed their intentions, and Carpenter Zhao took out a bucket of black lacquer and handed them a brush.
Seeing the three of them leave, Carpenter Zhao couldn't help but sigh, these three blessed teenagers in Lijia Village don't know how far they can go on the road of cultivation?
On that day, three brand-new, different styles of black incense burners were placed on the offering table of the Land Temple, and three blue weft curtains were placed on the beams of the house.
