Holy Bone

Chapter 678 Return to Wuzhou Fucheng and carry forward the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera

Kang Dingguo.

Wuzhou Prefecture.

In mid-December, the weather has cooled down significantly, and the cold wind makes people's heads hurt.

It has been a year and a half since I left last time and set foot on this homeland again. Jin An's mood has changed, it is a kind of nostalgia.

It's strange to say that he obviously doesn't belong to this world, but he gradually has a complex bond with this world that cannot be let go.

In the past few months, Jin'an's visits to several major tribes in the plateau have been very smooth, and he was even escorted by a mysterious family venerable all the way, which pushed his reputation in the plateau snowy region to a higher peak. This is a great gift from Master Zunzhu before parting , there is an epic sung about Jin'an Nima, which has spread to every corner of the mountains and snow-capped mountains.

Between Wuzhou Mansion and the plateau, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains separated, and there are more birds and animals than people here. When Jin'an and his party really walked out of the endless stretches of hundreds of thousands of mountains and set foot on the leveled official road, another month passed , into January.

This is the winter solstice in the twentieth solar terms, and the most people you see on the official roads are firewood pickers and charcoal sellers. This winter can be easier.

This is the time when the charcoal market is at its best. Every year, rich and wealthy country gentry purchase a large amount of charcoal in advance for winter use.

But except for one place.

The official road leading to Chang County was deserted and deserted, with no one there. Due to neglect of management, the official road was seriously damaged.In fact, this official road has long been abandoned, and the government has built another official road to bypass Chang County and lead to other nearby counties.

Several counties adjacent to Changxian County all know that there is a ghost county named Chang in Wuzhou Prefecture. Ten years ago, a fire burned the whole city to death. Passers-by disappeared.The local people said that it was because too many people died in that place, and the yin energy was too heavy. When passing by during the day, they would be blinded by ghosts and strayed into the ghost market.In the end, the Zhenguo Temple in the capital was alarmed, and some eminent monks drew talismans to seal the city gate, which made things better, but it was only during the day that there was nothing wrong with it, and at night it was very noisy.

So over time, the ghost county has become a place where no one can be seen within a radius of dozens of miles, and the living are not allowed to enter.

"You two priests, it's really not that I didn't continue to go on purpose, it's just that the place is so evil, even the men with official fortune and background would rather take a long detour than pass through Chang County, and get the bad luck of that place. This is not a matter of adding money or not, no matter how much money you give, you will not go, you have to spend your life to earn your life."

This is a three-way intersection, and there are two completely different official roads in front of you. One official road is repaired every year, and it is flat, with people coming and going, bustling and bustling. There are tea stalls on the side of the road for passers-by to rest for a short time; The other official road has been abandoned for more than ten years, cold and dilapidated, without a soul.

The people who spoke were a few coachmen who were driving the coaches, and those coachmen surrounded the Taoist priests, an old man and a young man, and kept complaining.

And on the trolley, there are a lot of newly purchased chickens, ducks, cloth, baskets of carrots and other materials. There are a total of more than a dozen carts of materials. After the winter solstice, there will be a minor cold and a severe cold. It is to prepare New Year's goods in advance.

Jin An and the old Taoist glanced at each other. It seemed that Chang County had a good reputation within hundreds of miles, but this reputation was a bit scary, even people's faces and steamed buns came out.

Jin An is not an unreasonable person. Seeing the fear on the faces of these coachmen, he really did not dare to take a step forward. Even the cattle and horses pulling the carts were also agitated, so he said: "Since everyone is unwilling to go any further Let’s go, I’m not going to force others to do what they want, so, take these cows and horses back home, I’ll buy all the carts, and you can set a price.”

These coachmen are all warm-hearted and good people. Seeing that Jin An insisted on going to Chang County, they all kindly reminded: "We know that the two Taoist priests are experts and can kill demons and demons, but Nachang County You really can’t go to Ghost County. Ever since the fire burned a whole city to death, there has been no peace in that place. In the past, many Taoist monks said that they would kill demons and demons, and do justice for the sky. In the end, they were all meat. Baozi Dagui never came back, and no one came back alive."

"We also couldn't bear to see the two Taoist priests die in the ghost county, so we persuaded them all the way."

Jin An smiled and nodded: "We accept everyone's kindness, thank you for your kindness, don't worry everyone, we have our own discretion."

"Daozhang, why don't you listen to good people's words... hey." Seeing that the advice was useless, the coachmen finally shook their heads and sighed in disappointment and left.

It wasn't until the coachmen walked away that the old Taoist winked at Jin An and said cheerfully, "Little brother, everyone seems to be very afraid of your natal family."

"!"

Jin An saw that the old Taoist was so energetic, so he forced the reins of the cart into the old Taoist's hand: "Since you are so energetic, old Taoist, then tie these carts one by one, and put them around the silly sheep's neck." , let the silly sheep give us a part-time job as a coachman."

Kacha, Kacha, the silly sheep on the side kept chewing carrots, eating with relish, looking at the old Taoist priest who was beating his chest and stamping his feet in remorse.

After a year and a half, Chang County is still desolate, with overgrown weeds outside the city walls.When Jin'an and the others arrived in Chang County, it was already nightfall. The convoy had just arrived at the city gate. The seemingly desolate and gloomy city gate suddenly opened creakingly, revealing the noisy and lively ghosts inside. city.

For the next half a month, Chang County would sing and sing every night, with the sound of eating meat, drinking alcohol, and the voices of people, as if someone had set up a banquet in this ghost county town for half a month to celebrate, beating gongs and drums and playing suona It was so lively, it lasted for half a month.

Even because the people in this city made a lot of noise, people standing on the mountain from a distance can see that Chang County is full of red lanterns, which are as bright as day, so rumors spread in nearby counties and villages that the ghost king of Kaichang County is getting married. , and the rumors became more and more outrageous, and later it was said that the bridegroom officer married by the female ghost king was a handsome little Taoist priest named Jin'an.

……

Another half a month later.

big cold.

There are still ten days left before New Year's Eve, the Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

The Taoist temple of the five internal organs that has been built is lined up with temples, incense is flourishing, and the flow of people is endless. The Taoist temple of the five internal organs today has changed greatly from the Taoist temple of the five internal organs two years ago.

The Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera two years ago was so impoverished that it was a dilapidated small Taoist temple. There was only one Sanqing Hall in the small Taoist temple. The incense was deserted, and it was unknown in the city.

In just two years, the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera has undergone tremendous changes. The Sanqing Hall, Liuding Liujia Wushen Hall, Wulei Great Emperor Hall, and Gongde Hall have sprung up and expanded continuously. In each temple, there are believers burning incense , the gate is lively.

In the past year, the prestige of the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera among the people in Fucheng has skyrocketed. The He family, the Xue family, and the Jia family of the three major medicine merchants in Fucheng come to the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera every day to offer incense. When asked why, the answer is: Vow.Even other prominent local big families came to the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera to offer incense. When asked why, the answer was that there are some great hermits in the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera who hide in the city and do not pursue fame and fortune.Even later, the people in Fucheng were even more shocked to find out that even the governor of the government office, the general in charge of military power, would bring local officials, gentry, and military officers to worship at the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera on important days. When asked why, the answer was: This is what Fucheng owes to the Five Viscera Taoist Temple.

In Fucheng, there are Bailong Temple for temples and Wuzang Taoist Temple for Taoist temples, which have become the two major places of incense in Wuzhou Prefecture, and Taoist and Buddhist incense is unprecedentedly grand.

It's just that people have always wondered why there is not even a Taoist priest in the five internal organs Taoist temple with official background, military background and gentry background.Throughout the year, only a couple surnamed Huang cleaned the Taoist temple day after day. When asked why, the answer was that the world is so big that only the Taoist temple of the five internal organs is the place to live, and Taoist priest Jin'an is the real master of Taoism.

Until today, a Taoist priest wearing a five-color Taoist robe came to the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera...
