Volume 1 Chapter 9 The Counties

The moon sinks in the west at night, and the Beibi Mountains sink quietly in the night sky.

In the mountain temple in front of the battlefield of the ancient Wei Dynasty, on the broken walls, the handwriting is hidden in the shadows, but there is a clear literary atmosphere, reflecting the four walls.

The Dark Horse pulled the cart and reappeared outside the temple gate, and the gold-armored god entered his realm in the Yang World, standing in front of the wall poem and groaning.

Entering the temple, the golden-armored god man suddenly felt that he was in a membrane that seemed to be nothing, and all discomfort outside was isolated.

The temple, which is the dwelling place of the gods in the yang world, has a good protective effect, although now most of this protection has been cut off.

The Golden Armor Divine Man didn't care, just watched the writing on the wall.

The sacrificial text is not enough, but the red level, and this sacrificial poem, but there is a faint blue light in the poem, operating, but if there is nothing.

The so-called famous poems, only when they are widely disseminated, can they quickly gather luck, and now this poem can only be restored very slowly.

However, for the gods, this is not a problem, the last thing that the underworld lacks is time, and what is lacking is such a divine finishing touch.

After pondering for a moment, it suddenly moved in its heart.

At this time, it was raining outside, and a little rain came through the door, and I don't know how long it took, the Golden Armor Divine Man slowly exhaled and said, "Ye Qing...... Huh!"

"I had a hunch that I would wake up from a long sleep in three years, I didn't want to be three years early, and there was such a good one!"

"If that's the case, why don't you be stingy with help?" The golden armor god smiled, raised his eyebrows and pondered, and for a moment, a green pen was in his hand, and he added a note on the right side of the poem: Ye Qing!

These two words, exactly the same as other handwriting, but faintly reveal an indescribable taste, which directly attracts people's attention.

"One-third of the luck you have made your wish is in this payment to help you get through this little difficulty. The golden-armored god man took a step, the wind blew through the curtain, and the figure suddenly disappeared into the temple of the Yang World.

The next day, the mountain road

At this time, the sparse autumn rain fell in the cold wind, which was a miserable autumn realm.

An ox cart under the escort of eight tolerances, patrolling from west to east, arrived not far from Jiaomen Township, the leader of this tolerance is Yin Bantou, who is a little wet with his clothes, and his heart is dissatisfied, but he does not dare to show it, looking from a distance, he sees someone coming to greet him, and his heart is relieved.

"Lord County, why do you have to inspect the county on a whim in this weather? We are tired of eating rain and wind, but fortunately we are here. ”

At this time, there were more than a dozen people standing on the flat ground in front of the township, all neatly dressed, looking forward to it under the guidance of a middle-aged man.

"Kowtow to Lord County!" The group bowed on the grass with the rain.

"Crunch", the ox cart stopped, the curtain was lifted, and the county walked down, this person was about thirty years old, wearing a high crown, white skin, and three strands of black hair under his chin, and he did have a bearing.

After glancing at it, he waved his hand: "This official He Lao, all fathers and fathers welcome you from afar, Gao Lichang, this is your mistake!"

"That's what the adults say...... It's just that since the adults took office, we have benefited a lot from being honest and upright, and this time we have inspected the nine townships in the county, and we are working hard for the people, and we have to compete to see the noble face of the adults......" Gao Li said in a respectful voice, and at this time, the village elders also joined together.

Seeing this, the county Cheng was like a mirror in his heart, and saw that everyone was still half-bowing to make an extension, stretched out his hand to help, and asked the two old villagers to get up and go inside.

This is the third township on the patrol road, and he hopes that what he sees will change somewhat.

At noon, the county was retained by the township, and all the way in, he saw a squire's house, three into three courtyards, at this time the two cooks were busy making vegetables on the table, and when the people came, it was almost over.

When the county Cheng looked, he saw that he was on a single table, with a bowl and wine, and there were seven or eight dishes on the table, with back pot meat, and killed chickens and ducks, and the others were all vegetarian dishes, although the style was not very good, but the aroma was overflowing.

And the tolerance below, the style of the dishes is almost the same, but it is a table for four people, the chief saw that the banquet was over, and asked to sit down with a smile: "Please use chicken soup first, the township is poor, but these are fattening, it is refreshing, please!"

The county glanced at it, and saw that it was not out of specification, so he sat down, took a mouthful, and praised: "Not bad!"

Seeing that the county was using it, it immediately became noisy, and a bowl of rice wine and another bowl of chicken soup were put into the stomach, and the cold air that followed the county cheng in the autumn rain was immediately expelled from the cold, and the whole body was warm, and he was suddenly energetic.

Seeing that everyone was eating fragrantly, the county Cheng used some slightly, so he pondered slightly: "The biggest problem in this township is the lack of fertile land, followed by the inconvenience of justice, although there are mountain goods, it is difficult to transport them out, and then there is the flood control in summer and autumn...... Fortunately, in peacetime, if the year is not good, it is not surprising that the people of this place are fierce and give birth to bandits. ”

"However, this fair paving is not within my authority at this time, and it must be approved and implemented by the county lord. After sighing slightly, beckoning slightly, an old servant stepped forward: "Master, what do you command?"

"Later, I'll reward you with a few taels of silver. The county said flatly.

"Yes, sir!"

After the banquet, all the tolerances were dispersed to rest, accompanied by a few township scholars, these people were full of quiet and inaction, the Xuanmen of the Tao, this county sighed in his heart.

The Three Classics and Five Classics lead to the Great Road, but these people read dead books, or just to be officials, no matter how much they read, they will not see wisdom, what good is it?

I listened to an old scholar surnamed Zhao say: "My generation is a collection, you can't travel without it, seeing that the clouds and rain are gone, why don't you travel together?"

But he wanted to be a vassal and elegant, this county Cheng smiled secretly, at this time, a maid in the back was a little anxious, and she wanted to stop it, but the county Cheng saw it early and waved her hand.

This is the maid sent by the clan to serve him, and everything else is good, but she was strictly ordered by the old lady to be concerned about his work and rest, but at this time she had to take a break in the afternoon.

As soon as you enter the officialdom, it is as deep as the sea, and there is no real thing, so why should you become prosperous in the world? Moreover, don't look at these squires who are vassals and elegant, but they are all real power figures in the township, and there is really no need to be unfamiliar with them in small matters.

At the moment, he ordered: "What Mr. Zhao said is that it is an elegant thing to travel with autumn, Qing'er, you can accompany us out of the road." ”

The maid Qing'er was dumbfounded, so she had to order two people to accompany her, for the big family, these sons were far more reliable than the tolerance guard at a critical moment.

After the rain, the sky is clear, shining on the mountains, the autumn is high and refreshing, it is indeed extraordinary!

"My lord, enjoy the scenery, there is no mountain in the mountains, but there is a place to talk about the historic sites, from here downhill, there is a deserted temple not far away, so the old legend is a former dynasty, the former dynasty, the former dynasty of the great general shrine, the previous has also shown the spirit ......" Gao Li Chang led the way, unconsciously, this pedestrian approached the valley!

"Monuments?" At this time, a gust of wind swept by, and there were monuments here but they had never heard of, and the county man leaned over and became interested: "Go over and take a look!"

"Yes!" the two of them took their knives to cut the dead branches, this is the last part of the mountain road, and they are about to go up.

"Slow!" The county looked at the valley and felt it, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, revealing solemnity: "This valley is not a good land, and the yin qi is not conducive to the people, why doesn't the township ban the valley mouth? There is not even a warning sign." ”

Hearing the county Cheng's question, his tone was not good, the sweat on Gao Li's long forehead suddenly seeped out, and he hurriedly shook it and explained with a smile on his face: "This is the only way for villagers to collect medicine, but it is unforbidden, and as long as you enter the mountain at noon and go out of the mountain before the sun sets, it will be fine." ”

"The township has also given more advice that the villagers will not be allowed to enter the valley at night, but this is the livelihood of the mountain people, and it cannot be forcibly stopped, and it has been peaceful all these years!"

The county was stunned, and his heart was full of suspicions, in this world, the Taoist law of the Lu realm is sage, and the imperial examination is based on the Taoist scriptures, half of which is for the imperial court, and half is for ascending to immortals.

Of course, longevity is difficult, most of it is a dream, but in the middle of the show, there are different degrees of Taoism, the county Cheng looked, only to see the cold wind in the four fields, a desolate.

The county Cheng Zhi frowned, and secretly thought: "This place is full of evil, and the five evils invade each other, but the so-called place of defeat, the evil breath comes out of the ground, this is the style of despair, I am afraid that I will raise a lot of demons and ghosts, even if the mountain people go out of the mountain before sunset, I am afraid that they can't resist, why is it nothing?"

At the moment, he didn't show any signs, just nodded and sighed: "The people are struggling." ”

He went up, and after a while, the ancient temple was revealed, and there was a flat turtle stele, and the words were engraved like a sword.

The county looked at it and thought to himself: "There is a temple?

I didn't rush into the temple immediately, and carefully stepped forward to identify the stele, although it was weathered, it was still vaguely recognizable, and I was able to be a county official, since it was extraordinary, I thought about it for a while, and I remembered it.

"Ancient Wei Battlefield...... Let me think about it, it turns out that this is the place where General Zhang did not fight!" The county was secretly surprised: "General Zhang is loyal to the martyrs, almost no defeat in the battlefield in 14 years, died here, and has to succeed the Great Lu Dynasty, praise his loyalty and canonization, and achieve a righteous god." ”

"Achieve righteousness, the soul of the army is immortal, and it can also suppress here, so that this evil spirit cannot be formed!" Thinking of this, the county couldn't help but understand, and frowned: "This is a merit to the people of this side of the water and soil!"

Thinking, looking at the temple, the sun was shining at this time, I could see clearly, and saw that the temple gate had fallen into disrepair for a long time, and most of it had collapsed, and the three walls were faintly visible in the middle of the two high clay statues were mottled and dilapidated, and some of them were full of moss.

"This temple has been lacking for a long time!" The county man saw that the temple was in ruins, and sighed in his heart.

After the Daomen ruled the world, Shinto still existed and flourished, but just like the status of the gods within Buddhism, the gods of Shinto are difficult to last long, and only the immortals (Arhats and Bodhisattvas) can last long.

For millions of years, the Dao Monarch and the immortals in the Heavenly Court have ruled the world realm, high above, while the gods and humans below have changed an unknown number of batches.

Knowing that this is a necessity for the operation of the avenue, these praised gods also have a metabolism, and the county still has a little sadness when he sees this withering.

After all, immortality is the privilege of a few, and what most officials want, that is, they were given titles by the imperial court after their deaths, so that they could be ranked as one of the righteous gods.

But precisely because this is a fundamental problem, in the process of the rise and fall of this kind of gods, everything must be cautious, and it is not possible to change it now.

In a sigh, the county man put away his thoughts and stepped forward, nothing else could be done, at least he could put on incense.
