Chapter 417: Fate and Happiness

"Poof, you don't remember where you are?"

Pan Jinlian smiled, with a playful and calm face, and said seriously: "Listen, Wu Song, you are from Qinghe County, Dongping Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, do you know?"

"No! you're wrong!" Wu Song said mysteriously.

Pan Jinlian looked surprised, she knew that Wu Song never told lies in front of her, and asked, "Erlang, where are you from?"

"I'm your man!"

Wu Song completely dealt the cards according to the variety show routine he saw before the crossing, and he didn't know if Pan Jinlian understood this meaning.

Pan Jinlian looked at him blankly for a long time, "Poof! Why are you so indecent today!, she lowered her head, her body swayed gently against the cool summer breeze, "Only the daughter's family says that it is a man's person, how can there be a man who is a member of the daughter's family...."

Pan Jinlian held the duckweed in the ancient bowl tightly with both hands, and gently leaned on Wu Song's shoulder, "Erlang, look, without you, I am the duckweed that drifts with the tide, and I don't know which day I will be swept into the bottom of the sea by a rattle, or eaten by the fish, after knowing you, I will be like the duckweed in the ancient bowl, with a place to rely on, no matter how I float in it, I can't do without your protection." ”

Wu Song hugged her emotionally, the breeze sent her hair, stirring his face, with bursts of fragrance, Pan Jinlian said blankly: "Erlang, I have been wandering all my life, when I was a child, I was protected by my father, he fell off the cliff and left, and then got the love of my eldest brother, but unfortunately there is no fate, at this moment to get your favor, my luck is getting better and better, but I am more and more worried, I am a blessed person, I don't know if God can be attached to this, don't give me any more tribulations..."

"It doesn't matter if there are tribulations or not, as long as everything that happens to you has my participation, the two of them are together, no matter what happens to him!"

Pan Jinlian listened, and said tenderly, "As long as I don't leave you, the slave family is a person with a bad background, and I always feel that I am not worthy of a good man..."

"Hey, what kind of background am I? I'm just a prisoner who escaped!" Wu Song stroked her head and said, "You girl, you are usually reckless, why are you so cowardly today?"

Before Pan Jinlian could answer, the fishing child made a mocking sound, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the etiquette was like Wu Song, openly hugging Pan Jinlian, it was very rare, they were laughing at Wu Song and Pan Jinlian.

Pan Jinlian's face turned red, and she hurriedly broke free from Wu Song's arms, hugged the duckweed, and hurriedly walked towards Yefu, Wu Song laughed, didn't think it was wrong, picked up those sacrifices, and followed behind.

Ye Kongmu and his wife and Xiaoyan were also very happy to see that after Pan Jinlian came back, the spring breeze was full of face and the haze was gone.

Since he was going to worship God, he naturally wanted to show his sincerity, Wu Song washed his body early, put on new clothes, and did not eat meat and drink, but just ate fasting, which can be regarded as bathing and fasting.

At the time, Wu Song asked the direction of the Beidi Temple, Xiaoyan had already packed the sacrifice into a load, and Wu Song was also convenient, so he picked it up and left.

There was nothing to do all the way, and I arrived at the Beidi Temple, which was already full of people outside the Beidi Temple, and there were many people, and I couldn't count how many people there were, anyway, there were still many people pouring in behind.

The gate of the Beidi Temple is closed, a memorial arch is set up in front, the word "Lingying" is written, the memorial arch on the temple is written "Zixiao Palace", before the Beidi becomes the Taoist god, the birth is the king of Jingle and the queen of Shansheng who dreamed of swallowing the sun and gave birth, in fact, it is the prince, so the statues are dressed as emperors.

Opposite Zixiao Palace is Wanfutai, which is the place where the drama is played, and it is estimated that it is to make some gods and monsters to praise the Northern Emperor.

In the middle of Zixiao Palace and Wanfutai is a pool, digging five feet into the ground, carved into a railing with marble, the water depth of the pool is about three feet, in the center is a huge stone statue of the spirit turtle, there is a snake wrapped around it, very powerful.

Legend has it that the Northern Emperor is the nemesis of the evil in the world, and it is also the righteous god who suppresses the rivers, where there is a demon and evil disorder, he wears a dragon robe, wears a long hair, holds a long sword in his hand, but his feet are bare, one foot steps on the spirit turtle, one foot steps on the Teng snake, with the evil dragon and the lion, he goes to annihilate, very mighty, so wherever the Northern Emperor is worshipped, it will also be dedicated to the turtle and snake two generals.

Wu Song never worships God, doesn't know the rules, sees everyone around the pool to worship the turtle and snake generals, he also used to worship, he doesn't know how to worship, anyway, Ye Kongmu said, sincerity is enough, so his hands are folded, I don't know if it's right, I bowed to the turtle and snake two generals three times, and said: "Wu Song never worships ghosts and gods, this is the first time at this moment, and he is also very sincere, I hope you will bless the old lady's eyes to regain his sight, if it is effective, he should come back to reward God, if it is not effective, he will break your two stones!"

His voice was loud, and in the bustling crowd, many people heard it, those were all good believers, and whoever had heard of such a threat to the gods had to scold Wu Song, but at first glance, Wu Song was majestic, and all those who were good were not good at martial arts, and they were cowardly, where did they dare to speak out when they saw such characters.

Wu Song thought that before the crossing, those temples or tourist places, where there were such pools, everyone used coins to throw the things inside, and those who could throw the head said to be a good omen.

Anyway, it came, regardless of whether the Northern Song Dynasty had this rule or not, he took out a little broken silver from his arms, raised his big hand, snapped, snapped, and the silver hit the head of the spirit turtle, splashed, and hit the head of the snake, "Okay!", Wu Song couldn't help but cheer.

In fact, there is no such rule in the Northern Song Dynasty, if you want to spend some silver to show your sincerity, there will naturally be a monk temple to bless, let you add sesame oil, modern coins to smash those things, because the coin denomination is small, ordinary people are disdainful to pick up, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, there are a lot of people who have no money to eat, if there is silver in the pool, it will definitely cause a robbery, so no one will do that.

"You are a young boy, you really don't understand the rules..... "The old man finally couldn't see it, and relied on the old man to teach Wu Song a lesson.

Wu Song didn't mind, and saluted him: "Uncle, the villain doesn't understand the rules, don't be weird, dare to ask, come to pay homage to the Northern Emperor, is it after worshipping the two turtle and snake generals, will they go to worship the gods?"

"When the sincere people come, whether they are big or small, they will worship what they see. The old man saw that Wu Song knew how to be polite very much, and he also spoke to him kindly, "There are also people who are anxious, and they go directly to Zixiao Palace to worship the Northern Emperor." ”

"When will this Zixiao Palace open?

"Touzhu Xiang?" The old man sneered: "Touzhu Xiang has already been asked for by people, you can go to the second and third at most, and if you want to go to the second and third, there is no other way, when the gate of Zixiao Palace is opened, whoever can enter first will be a blessing." ”

"The head pillar incense has already been asked for by people, what does it mean?"

"You, a young boy, really don't understand anything, the gate of Zixiao Palace was originally open all day, but it is closed today because there are nobles worshipping inside, and when he arrives, when he finishes worshipping, the little Taoist priest inside will naturally open the door and let us ordinary people go in. ”

Wu Song also understood when he heard this, all the people in the temple also had to eat, and the silver for eating was naturally sesame oil from good believers, although in the eyes of the gods, all beings were equal, in fact, there was a difference, and people with more silver naturally looked at each other differently.

Didn't you say it in "Journey to the West", Tang Seng arrived at Leiyin Temple, and the Buddha also said that he had to collect some silver to pass on the scriptures, otherwise the descendants would have no silver to eat, since the Buddha also said that, other gods are even more so.

Although Wu Song thinks that this situation is normal, he doesn't care about these people, and on the other hand, he also thinks that the people of the Northern Song Dynasty are easier to bully.

"The Northern Song Dynasty is the most heroic, there shouldn't be so many numb people!"

Wu Songzheng wondered, there was a commotion next to Zixiao Palace, he was tall, and he saw the situation at a glance, it turned out that there were four little Taoist boys, and they came out with four burdens.

I only heard a Taoist boy say loudly: "Everyone, the good people inside said that they occupied the first pillar of incense today, and they are very sorry, so they added sesame oil, and made the incense soup kitchen in the temple make 3,000 vegetarian stuffing blessing bags, and give them to all the good believers, I hope everyone will be blessed!"

Everyone was very happy to hear it, and praised this good man, and Dao Tong immediately asked everyone to line up to receive the blessing bag, one person can ask for two, saying that it is a good thing to come in pairs, and you can also want more, and continue to queue up.

Wu Song saw it, but he changed his opinion of this good man, this person is at least kind, not a domineering person.

But thinking like this, the purpose of Wu Song's visit this time was to put incense on the head, originally he was going to follow the method that Xiaoyan said, use his divine power, push the good faith away, and be the first to go in and incense, for him, this is an extremely simple thing.

But at this moment, the situation has changed, and the head pillar incense is what he is determined to obtain, and since this is the case, he can only use other methods.

Wu Song put the sacrifice under the archway of Zixiao Palace, put the incense candle in his arms, bowed three times to the palace gate, and said in his heart: "Grandpa Beidi, this sacrifice is placed here, please move the jade step out and enjoy it, Wu Song will personally go in and kowtow to you!"

After Wu Song prayed, taking advantage of the chaos, he walked along the edge of the Beidi Temple, all the way to the back, looking at the wall, it was not too high, he jumped hard, although he couldn't jump directly to the wall, but his hands were still able to grab the top of the wall, and with a little force, his body went up.

The Beidi Temple is not big, the back is where the Taoist priest lives, divided into the front and back yards, Zixiao Palace is in the front yard, after the child is the first day of the new year, the Taoist priests are busy all night.

At the moment, they are all enjoying their meals in the Xiang Ji Kitchen, and when the end of the day comes, they will return to their places and wait for the door to open to welcome the believers, so the courtyard is quiet.

Wu Song arrived at Zixiao Palace in a few steps, "Who?", the figure flashed in front of him, Wu Song protected his chest with both palms, and saw that there was also a big man with his hands protecting his chest in front of him, looking at himself.

"Poof!" Wu Song couldn't help laughing, it turned out to be a huge bronze mirror, which said "Chenju Duangong", Wu Song naturally didn't understand what it meant, in fact, "Duangong" was a year name of the Northern Song Dynasty, indicating the time when this Zixiao Palace or this bronze mirror stood.

"It is estimated that this bronze mirror is used to illuminate demons and evil spirits, and it is also just right for those who come in to see their own appearance clearly, so as not to be blinded by worldly desires and lose themselves. ”

Wu Song thought about it, while carefully looking at this Zixiao Palace, there were nine gods on both sides of the palace, he didn't know any of them, but the blades placed in front of him, he knew, these eighteen blades are what we usually call eighteen kinds of martial arts.

What are the eighteen kinds of martial arts? Here I will tear out a little bit and tell you about the eighteen kinds of martial arts, these eighteen kinds of martial arts are: spear, hammer, bow, crossbow, gun, sword, sword, chain, Lao, axe, yue, ge, halberd, club, spear, and stick.

Passing through these eighteen gods, there was the Northern Emperor sitting in the center of the main hall, only to see that he had a solemn expression, auspicious light on his head, wearing a dragon robe, and a pair of bare feet, which was very different from ordinary gods.

Wu Song didn't know what time it was at the moment, and guessed that it was only a few days, so he simply took out all the incense and candles, borrowed the ever-bright lamp lit on the main hall to light it, and inserted it on the incense burner, which was regarded as the first pillar of incense.

Wu Song thought to himself, the matter of worshipping God, sincerity is spirituality, so he knelt under the futon, sincerely kowtowed three heads, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa Beidi, you are the most upright god, the old lady has a rough life, and there are no complaints, I just want to be by my son's side often, but I have a vicious disease in my eyes and can't see, please expel the evil qi for her and restore the light!"

After Wu Song made a wish, he didn't know if he had arrived at the son, so he simply knelt here, and waited until the good man came, and when he came, it was the time of the child.

Wu Song raised his head again, and there was a sign holder on the altar, and his heart moved, anyway, why not ask for a sign, and it is good to see the good luck.

He grabbed the stick holder with both hands, thinking about the old lady's eye disease, bowed three times, snapped, and fell out of the stick holder, Wu Song picked it up and looked at it, it read: "An arrow shoots a red heart, everyone says good sound, the day grows and the chicken sings at noon, and the real fire refines the real gold." ”

"Hey, what does this mean, an arrow piercing the heart shouldn't be a good thing, but everyone says it's good, it shouldn't be bad, and then the chicken sings the afternoon, what is the real gold...."

When Wu Song was guessing, he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and he was not surprised, knowing that the good man with incense on the top was coming.

Listening to the footsteps, there were six people, the first two were calm and slow, they should be two old people, the middle two walked lightly, it was estimated that they were women, the two behind them had strong steps, they were in the prime of life, and Wu Song estimated that they should be the old and young of the good man's family.

Anyway, he is already considered to be the first pillar of incense, and when the good man arrives, he will settle the matter when he arrives.

"Who is the benefactor? Why did you bow down in front of the Northern Emperor?" An old voice sounded, and Wu Song knew that it was one of the two people who walked in front, and the one who called him the donor should be the Taoist priest in the temple.

"Dao Chief, the elders in the villain's family have a bad eye, come to the head pillar incense, and ask for the blessing of Grandpa Beidi. Wu Song didn't hide it, and said directly.

"Ahh.....h

"Grandpa Beidi is the most just deity, whoever is sincere enough will bless whom, not who has more silver. ”

Wu Song said coldly, he knew that it should be the time, and immediately kowtowed three times in front of the Northern Emperor, and still said his wish.

"Yingxiang, don't scold in front of the Northern Emperor Zhenjun, this.... He is also right, it is not good for us to let the Taoist master close the door and worship first...."

Wu Song was stunned in his heart, this voice was so familiar, it should be the Miss Zhang family who was hiding behind the sand pear tree that day.

"Dare to ask Miss, are you Miss Zhang?"

Wu Song immediately asked, happy in his heart: "The Northern Emperor is really a miracle, we are looking for Miss Zhang's family, but we have met here!"

"Dutou, what you are asking for is the first sign, it is to sign, this sign is about Emperor Taizu's accession to the throne, and the old Taijun's eye disease is naturally better. ”

Although she didn't answer positively, she might call Wu Song's name, and if she could name the old lady, she would be Miss Zhang's family.

Wu Song hurriedly jumped up, turned around and saluted: "Miss Zhang, it was Wu Song who was offended, just because he remembered the old lady's eye disease in his heart, so he came here to put incense on his head..."

Wu Song raised his head, but there was a burst of disappointment in his heart, there were four Taoist priests in front of him, two old Taoist priests stood in front, two middle-aged Taoist priests carried sacrifices on their shoulders, and behind them were two women, one of them was dressed as a maid, with a light red dress, and she looked delicate, but the face of the young lady Zhang was covered with a layer of tulle, and she couldn't see her true face.

This is also very normal, she is a young lady, a daughter who has not left the pavilion, and she came to this temple to worship, and the temple is full of Taoist priests, and she has covered her face, which should be.

Miss Zhang came to the front of the Northern Emperor with the support of Yingxiang, Yingying bowed, and the two middle-aged Taoist priests immediately offered the sacrifices, and then they all retreated, leaving only two old Taoist priests to recite the scriptures on the side.

Wu Song also took a few steps back, Miss Zhang's slender hand gently picked it on the bun, Yingxiang immediately took the veil with both hands, she naturally couldn't cover her face, but Wu Song had already arrived behind him, and he still couldn't see her true face.

"Hey, this is called the fate of the side, it is estimated that I and this Miss Zhang are destined to have no chance to meet, meet today, probably sincerely moved the Northern Emperor, he asked this Miss Zhang to solve the old lady's predicament. ”

"The letter girl Zhang Yulan begs the truth to bless her parents with good health...."

"It turns out that her name is Zhang Yulan, this woman is very filial, the first thing she did when she came here was to ask her parents to be healthy, and it is estimated that the second should be to ask for marriage. Wu Song thought to himself.

"Bless the people of Mengzhou Mansion to continue to live and work in peace and contentment...."

"Well, it's really chivalrous, the second thing is to bless the people, and the third one is also marriage. ”

"Zhenjun, the letter girl has always had only two wishes, this time add one more, please don't be surprised, please bless the old lady of the Ye family with a speedy recovery. ”

When Wu Song heard this, he admired in his heart, "This Miss Zhang is really..."

"Miss, you are so ruthless!" A young Taoist priest suddenly broke in from outside the hall, he pointed at Zhang Yulan, and scolded with a grudge on his face: "Do you remember our three-life covenant? Why are you so unkind!"
