Chapter 33: Closing the Door
Just when Liu Chen's side was about to start moving, the four people in the Changle Palace finally made up their minds, and Ji Yuan, who was the leader of them, stood up directly, and raised his head to the sky with a long roar, which was full of excitement.
"Well, this blanket was really made by you? Yes, yes, it didn't cost me and my junior brother to save your life at that time!"
Probably because he was in a better mood, Ji Yuan saw that he and the others were wearing a blanket to protect him from the cold, so he nodded, and praised Zhen'an with great satisfaction.
This made Zhen'an a little flattered. Because in the past, no matter what he did, it was right in the mouth of the three Gua Yuan, and if there was a slight mistake, he would scold him at every turn. Such a sudden compliment made him a little unaccustomed to it.
However, Zhen'an doesn't like to be scolded and beaten, and he is still happy to be praised. It's a pity that he has always been clumsy with his tongue, so even if he is happy, he can't say it, he just lowered his head and quietly laughed silently.
"Ji Yuan, your long howl is long and long, it has always been a great gain in Dao Gong last night, congratulations. ”
Just when Ji Yuan praised Zhen'an, the other two Taoist priests also stood up, looking at Ji Yuan, who was full of joy, with a somewhat complicated expression, but what they said was indeed congratulatory. However, there is inevitably some sour meaning in this voice.
"It's not a big gain, it's just that after three or two days of meditation, you can almost achieve the position of Chiyang Mage. This is also thanks to the blessing of the patriarch, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
For the sourness in the words of the two companions, Ji Yuan, who was in high spirits at this time, did not notice it. I just kept saying these humble words, but the look in the corners of my eyebrows was flying, but I couldn't hide it.
"Master Chiyang, aren't we going to call you the abbot in the future?"
Listening to Ji Yuan's words, the two Taoist priests on the side suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Ji Yuan with more complicated expressions. And Zhenchang, who was beside them, rolled his eyes, pretended to exclaim, and said loudly.
"It's really wrong for you, your father is the person in charge of our Ren family's examination of the school, and you should also know the law of our Lingbao lineage. The position of this abbot is very important, when all the real people decide, where can we guess the degree on our side!"
was really said like this, and the joy on Ji Yuan's face couldn't be hidden. But the mouth is a serious lesson, but there is no reprimand.
For this kind of thing, Zhenchang smiled and answered twice, and did not argue.
"Well, the matter of this abbot still needs to wait for the real person to decide, but the patriarch must not be lazy. The five of us have all been inspired by the patriarch, so how can we not fast and thank the patriarch for his kindness! Zhen'an Zhenchang is always the two of you to light up the Zhongzhai ritual utensils; Gumu and Gutong both of you open the inner library and take out enough melons, fruits, and water candles, and take out a pair of fish charms and ten volumes of bronze slips. Let's prepare a mid-fast here to thank the patriarch for his kindness!"
Seeing that Zhenchang was so obedient, Ji Yuan suddenly felt a burst of happiness in his heart, and then commanded them to start doing things without thinking about it.
"But Gua Yuan, those melons, fruits, and water candles are prepared for the winter solstice. If we use it now, when the time comes, the mage at home will preside over the winter solstice festival, and we don't have anything here?"
Listening to Ji Yuan's instructions and arrangement, the two Taoist priests suddenly panicked, and said in a dissuasive voice.
"You two really don't know anything, the winter solstice sacrifice was originally used to overtake the soul. Now that it has been more than twelve years, the degree is almost over, and the rest should be some stubborn people. Besides, there are still nearly two months before the winter solstice, and there will be almost no need for a master from home to preside over the fasting sacrifice. ”
Hearing the objections of the two, Gua Yuan shook his head, sighed a few times, and then said to his two companions. When he said the back, his eyebrows naturally raised, and he looked proud.
Seeing that Ji Yuan was so persistent, and then thought about it, Ji Yuan would be the host of this Changle Palace in the future, so the two Taoist priests nodded as soon as they gritted their teeth, and then turned around and began to arrange according to Ji Yuan's requirements.
There are things prepared for the winter solstice festival, and it is not a hassle to arrange a mid-fast, and the main hall will be arranged in about an hour.
"You two close the door to prevent the idlers and others from disturbing the fast. ”
After everything was ready, Guyuan put on the red veil that only a mage could use, and stood in the middle of everyone, facing the Xuanzhen Dharma Phase. Then he said a word to Zhen'an Zhenchang, and then closed his eyes and waited for the opportunity.
After hearing his command, Zhen'an Zhenchang responded and left, but when he walked to the road, Zhen'an asked with some puzzlement:
"It's true, didn't the door never close when fasting in the past, why this time?"
The real Chang on the side listened to it, and said with a smile:
"This time is different from before, Uncle Guyuan is still only a disciple of Jisheng, and if he is found presiding over the fasting ceremony, there will be trouble. Besides, this is a festival to worship the ancestors, which is a matter of one's own family, while it was a festival that has transcended the souls of the dead in the past, and it is the business of everyone. The situation is different, and the preparation is naturally different. ”
Hearing Zhenchang's words, Zhen'an nodded, but he didn't ask why Ji Yuan presided over the fast ceremony as a disciple of Jisheng but no one stopped him. This made Zhenchang a little strange, because according to what he knew about Zhen'an, he should have asked such a question.
Thinking in his heart, Zhen'an seemed to be much smarter after advancing to the disciple of Zhensheng, and after a while, the two of them came to the gate of Changle Palace.
The gate of Changle Palace is a typical gate of the palace mansion, and there are two small doors on the left and right outside the middle gate. The so-called gate is closed from time to time, and the door that Ji Yuan ordered to close is mainly to close the small door.
However, when the two of them were about to close the small door, they found a group of black people standing outside the door.
At first glance, seeing so many people, Zhen'an Zhenchang felt a little panicked. But Zhen'an was a little better, because he only saw that there were a lot of people, and although he was a little panicked, it was just the discomfort of seeing a lot of people at first glance.
But it is really different, he is a member of the Ren family, and he has learned all kinds of skills since he was a child, including arithmetic and the identification of various methods. After he calmed down a little, he found that there were fifty people in front of him, and they were also a group of tiger and wolf soldiers with the constraints of the law of the soldiers.
"Little doll, when you close the door in broad daylight, is there something unsightly in the Taoist temple?"
When Zhen'an was really stunned, a capable man with a knife at his waist suddenly grinned and pressed the door and said.
"Li Xuan, don't be presumptuous, otherwise I'll go back and let Zhao Qian clean you up!"
