Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 470 Rewarding the good but not punishing the evil is chaos; punishing the evil without rewarding the good is also chaos.

The current situation in Qingdu Temple is very polarized...

Pilgrims gather near the main entrance of the Taoist temple. Sometimes the procession of offering incense can line up from the front of a city god's hall inside the gate to the street, and the incense is very strong.

On the contrary, there are fewer and fewer residents living around the Taoist temple...

Of course, this is not to say that no one is willing to live near Qingdu Temple, but it is said that a rare big-timer bought all the houses around Qingdu Temple at an irresistible price.

At the beginning, people wondered if some noble person had taken a fancy to Qingduguan, and wanted to build a luxurious mansion here, but until now there was no movement, as if the rich man bought the place here. Homes are just as vacant as they are here.

Swish!
After a soft sound, a woman in a tattered palace dress, with several bloodstains faintly visible from the opening, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, landed in front of the door of a small courtyard on the side of Qingdu Temple, and knelt down with a plop fell to the ground.

"Master, help!"

The next moment, a man in red with empty hands appeared in front of the gate of the yard like a ghost.

"Oh... no wonder the King of Qin has been in Chang'an for so many days, but he can't find the hiding place of the contemporary Yinniang of the Yinmen. If it were changed, I would never have imagined that Yinniang, the guardian of the Buddhist sect, would hide beside the Taoist temple. only……"

The man in red lowered his head and looked at Pei Xinru who was kneeling on the ground.

"Your master doesn't seem to care much about your safety. You are already kneeling here, but she didn't show up."

"Humph!"

Pei Xinru raised her head and looked at the man in red with contempt.

"It's a pity that you still want to compete with my master, but you can't even see whether my master has come forward..."

As if to match her words, before she finished speaking, the man in red felt a gust of wind behind his ears, he immediately leaned forward without thinking, and then stretched out his hands, a pair of shiny short knives appeared in his hands.

The next moment, when the man in red was already leaning over, the double blades in his hands were raised backwards and stabbed out!But just halfway through the stabbing, he felt heavy in his hand, as if he was being pressed down by some heavy object.The complexion of the man in red changed slightly, and he took another step forward. With a flick of his fingers, the double blades in his hand spun into a pair of rings and flew out.

laugh!
There was an undetectable sound in the air, and then the body of the man in red rolled on the ground, rushing to the corner of the wall, and his body also changed a direction through this rolling.

Snapped!
The man in red stretched out his hand and caught the two short knives that flew back, with a serious look on his face.

"Hey, hey...has the master changed his gender?"

At this time, in the small courtyard, a big loli with a bun was leaning against the door, looking out, thinking she was speaking in a low voice.

"She was cut off by someone, and she jumped up without anger. I remember that I accidentally burned a little bit of her tail two days ago, and she gave me a good beating."

A big loli dressed in men's clothes stood beside her, looked at her helplessly, and blinked silently.

At this time, outside the gate of the small courtyard, a nun wearing a gray monk's robe heard the voice coming from the courtyard, the corner of her mouth twitched, and then looked at the whisk tail that was almost chopped into two parts in her hand with some heartache, He cast his gaze on the man in red.

"Are you the spirit of this generation?"

The nun shook her head slightly.

"The response is not bad, but the foundation is still not enough..."

As she spoke, the nun casually dropped the disused whisk on the ground.

"You go, there is a poor nun here today, it is impossible for you to kill the poor nun's disciple."

"master……"

After hearing the nun's words, the red-clothed man, Jinger, hadn't spoken yet, and Pei Xinru, who was next to her, had already prostrated herself on the ground with a look of grief and indignation.

"This person intends to kill disciple, are you going to let him go like this?"

"What about where?"

The nun turned her head to look at Pei Xinru, her eyes were gentle but sharp.

"The poor nun heard a sentence in Qingdu and thought it made sense. The so-called murderer is always killed! Since my hidden sect is sharp and straightening the world, others can be killed. Can my hidden sect disciples be an exception? ?"

"Hey...hey...hahaha..."

After hearing what the nun said, the man in red suddenly burst out laughing.

"That's right! Ever since a certain family held the sword, they never thought that they would end up dying between the beds..."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly, and put his hands forward and back, assuming an attacking posture.

"A certain family lost a hand just now, but a certain family still wants to see how strong the contemporary Yinniang is..."

"The poor nun doesn't want to fight with you..."

Facing the invitation from the man in red, the nun waved her hands indifferently.

"Your swordsmanship has already been seen by the poor nun, and you have learned it well, but that's all. It's still not as good as the previous generation's elite, and it doesn't attract the poor nun's interest at all, and your foundation is even more... ...If you fight with the poor nun, you will definitely lose!"

"Hahaha……"

Jing Jinger stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.

"Who wins and who loses, we don't know until we have fought."

"But the poor nun is not interested!"

The nun in gray waved her hand casually with a calm expression on her face.

"You'd better go..."

"master!"

At this moment, Pei Xinru, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly kowtowed to the ground, then raised her hands, holding a letter upright.

"This is a letter from Master Ji Zang to you. He said that you owed him a favor in the past, and now he has passed this favor to me. Now, with this favor, I ask Master to take action and kill Jing Jinger. Master Ji Zang takes revenge!"

After hearing Pei Xinru's words, the big Baotou girl in the yard murmured again.

"Senior sister, when did our master owe Monk Ji Zang a favor? Didn't she angrily say that she came late when she mentioned Monk Ji Zang last time, and if she came two days earlier, she would have hacked him to death?"

The big loli in men's clothing also seemed to be very surprised by what the big girl with a bun was saying. She shook her head silently, indicating that she didn't know.

"That's what Monk Ji Zang said?"

The nun in gray sneered, and with a hook of her finger, the letter that Pei Xinru held in her hand immediately flew up and landed in her hand, and then she rubbed her palms without hesitation, and the outer skin of the envelope was wiped out in ashes. up.

"Just kidding, when did the poor nun ever owe him a favor..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the grey-clothed nun's face became serious. Next, the gray-clothed nun didn't even read the letter, so she shook her hand and put the letter into her sleeve inside.

Afterwards, the nun in gray turned her head and said to Pei Xinru in a flat tone.

"You were deceived by Ji Zang. The poor nun didn't owe him any favors. In this letter, he just revealed a secret that the poor nun always wanted to know. But for the sake of this secret, even if the poor nun owes him a favor No problem. Now are you sure you want to use this secret for the poor nun to make a move?"

Pei Xinru had a confused look on her face, and she never thought that what Monk Ji Zang told her before he died was not true.

But this confusion didn't last long, after a few seconds, a determined look appeared on her face, and then she knelt down on the ground, bowing her head to the gray-clothed nun.

"That's right, please master to kill Jingjinger!"

"it is good!"

Seeing Pei Xinru's actions, a look of distress flashed in the nun's eyes, and then she nodded slightly.

"The poor nun has agreed to this matter!"

Then, she turned her head to look at the spirit standing in the corner, who had become eager to try, with an excited expression on her face, put her hands together, and bowed slightly.

"Jingjinger, since you insist on asking the poor nun for advice, please go on your way!"

……

puff!
After a slight sound of water, Kong Qing, dressed in white, tapped an ancient sword at his feet, and jumped out of the water in Zhaotan. Then, under the eyes of Gao Yu and Tang Goubie, his body seemed to slip. Like water, lightly came back and forth on the water surface of Zhaotan.

With the flutter of his sleeves, the bodies of the three huge white fishes also disappeared without a trace. If the blood of the fish monsters on the water surface of the pool was not there, Gao Yu would have doubted whether he had done something wrong. like a dream.

call!
A gust of wind blew, Kong Qing carried the kitten on his shoulders, and floated down from the air. The flying sword he was stepping on flew up by itself when he landed, and inserted it into the scabbard behind him.

"Senior High..."

Kong Qing raised his hand and bowed slightly to Gao Yu.

"The man-eating monster in Zhaotan is dead!"

"Thank you little Daoist... No, it should be thanks to Daoist Daoist for eliminating harm for us in Zhaotan..."

Looking at the little milk cat on his shoulder, the whole body is clean and refreshing, not dripping with water, not at all like the Taoist priest in white who just emerged from the water, Gao Yu's eyes unconsciously took on the color of reverence.

"If it weren't for you, the real person, these three monsters don't know how many monks, Taoists and scholars they would eat here in Zhaotan. It's all over now, the monsters are gone, and the matter is over, and the people here in Zhaotan can also eat Peace of mind."

After hearing Gao Yu's words, the corners of Kong Qing's eyebrows twitched silently, and he glanced at Tang Goubie beside him.

Unexpectedly, Changsha can have such rampant monsters that cannibalize people, and Tang Goubie didn't even report to the Taishi Bureau, which is simply too much... Monks and scholars are fine. How many Taoist priests can afford to eat one today and one tomorrow?
It seems that the report from Changsha Xuantan cannot be trusted completely!
"Senior High..."

With a smile on his face, Kong Qing patted Gao Yu's shoulder with his hand.

"You are wrong, this matter is not over yet!"

"not end yet?"

Gao Yu looked at Kong Qing with some puzzlement.

"Haven't all the monsters been wiped out by you, the real person? What's not over..."

"The monster is indeed extinct, but..."

Kong Qing lined Gao Yu's shoulders again with his hands.

"Scholar Gao, you are so desperate to save people that you don't care about whether you will be angered if you offend a monster. You have not been rewarded for this kind of behavior!"

"Oh, this is it..."

After Gao Yu heard Kong Qing's words, he immediately waved his hands with a simple and honest face.

"For saving people, what kind of reward do you need? Daoist Master, you have said too much, I am embarrassed..."

"you are wrong……"

Seeing Gao Yu's simple and honest look, Kong Qing's expression of approval grew even stronger.

"Rewarding the good and not punishing the evil will lead to chaos; punishing the bad and not rewarding the good will also lead to chaos. If you hadn't acted righteously today, there wouldn't be the result of those three monsters being executed, so..."

Kong Qing thought for a while, then took out a talisman carved with peach wood from his sleeve, and handed it to Gao Yu.

"Since you are a Confucian scholar, you should know that the imperial court is opening a course to recruit scholars. Now Pindao is giving you this talisman. You take this talisman to Chang'an. Pindao guarantees that you will become famous and pass the imperial examination."

　Regarding the imperial examinations during the reign of Wude, Zheng Hao of the Tang Dynasty once said that "Zhujia Subject Ji" was compiled into thirteen volumes, from the first year of Wude to... etc., that is to say, the Tang Dynasty began scientific examinations from the first year of Wude up.

　　Of course, this kind of view is not the mainstream. The current mainstream view is that the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty started from the fifth year of Wude, but our book has reached this time, so whether it is the first year of Wude or the fifth year of Wude In short, the imperial examination must have started now.
