Taoist endowment

Chapter 11 Adding newcomers to Xianyun Temple

After drinking and eating, and gossiping for a while, the two apprentices cuddled aside and fell asleep. Chen Jingyun's spiritual power was circulating, and the surrounding area of ​​several feet was still cold.After talking to Peng Qiu for a few more words, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, without saying a word all night.

In the afternoon of the next day, several people finally returned to Niujia Village. The horse team entered the village, causing a lot of excitement. The villagers were amazed when they saw the more than 30 healthy horses brought back by Chen Jingyun!
Probably because of the current world, horses and horses are either in the hands of the government, or they are in the hands of aristocratic families or Jianghu sects, and ordinary people can't buy them no matter how rich they are.

How could Chen Jingyun know this?He just thought that these horses were good, although they were useless to him, they were worth a lot of money. Once he became petty, he would naturally drive the horses back to the village and hand them over to the villagers. He only kept the green horse.

Afterwards, he casually said a few words, ignoring everyone's curiosity, and brought the two apprentices and one servant into the backyard of Chai's house to scratch and eat. After all, eating is the biggest thing.

Chen Guanzhu didn't know how farmers liked big animals, and there were many draft horses in the village that pulled carts and plowed the fields, but compared with the healthy horses he brought back, those draft horses seemed to be donkeys.

At this time, the old village was offering incense in the ancestral hall. After learning that Chen Jingyun had returned to the village with a lot of horses, he immediately walked home on crutches.

When he saw so many good horses, his old face flushed with excitement, and he bent down tremblingly, inspecting each horse, and even smiled after the inspection. They are all good horses that have never been gelded!After taking good care of it, more than a dozen foals will be born next year, and in a few years, there will be another big income in the village!

Looking at a group of village households who were tiptoeing towards their yard, the old villager angrily threw his cane on the ground and yelled, "What are you all doing here? All the idiots are waiting for you!" Ready-made?
Let me tell you, this time the horses are no longer separated, they are all sent to the Xishan pasture, and they need to find someone to take care of them. Most of the future income will be handed over to the temple. After the expansion of the Taoist temple, there will be more places to spend money!One by one, everyone knows that they are taking advantage of the view. Are the guys ready to go into the mountains and log tomorrow? "

It's just that this time the crowd didn't disperse as abruptly as he had imagined. After agreeing to the old village in a mess, they were still looking around on tiptoes, and even a few half-sized men even leaned on the wall.

Lao Cunzheng said: "Okay! This is not greedy enough to rebel!" Fang Dai scolded angrily, and a young man in rough clothes hurriedly bowed and said, "Grandpa Village Zheng calm down, Brother Yun wants to expand the Taoist temple. Which one do we have?" Dare to be negligent? Yiyingwu has been prepared a long time ago, and he just waits to enter the mountain tomorrow. As for the horse, it is naturally what you always say, who dares to object?"

Seeing that the third boy of the Li family spoke in an orderly and respectful manner, Laocun thought to himself that this book was not in vain, so his expression softened, and he said, "Well, you have achieved a lot, so you are still surrounded What are you doing here?"

Li Sanxiao quickly replied: "Grandpa Village Zheng, you just came back late, and you didn't see Brother Yun leading two boys and a man into your backyard. We are just curious here."

The old village was curious after hearing what Li San said, and turned to ask Chai Laogan, but he couldn't find his son, daughter-in-law or grandson, but he heard the boy's crisp laughter from the backyard, and Chai Er The egg cried out in pain, this bastard must have had his ears twisted by his mother again.

When Chen Jingyun was joking with the Chai family, the conversation outside the courtyard fell into his ears verbatim. Knowing that the matter of the horses had been dealt with, he led the two disciples and Peng Qiu who had eaten dinner to the outside of the courtyard to meet everyone formally. .

"Grandpa Village Zheng, all uncles, this pair of siblings are my disciples this time. The elder sister's name is Nie Wanniang, and the younger brother's name is Nie Fengming. If you play mischievously in the village in the future, you and everyone will have to take care of them." Wanniang and Fengming haven't met their elders yet." Chen Jingyun smiled and bowed slightly to the old villager and everyone.

Nie Wanniang took Nie Fengming to follow the master's instructions, and greeted the old villager and all the village elders. The siblings were generous and their words were very decent, which immediately attracted a lot of praise.

Seeing this situation, Lao Cun felt dazed for a while, as if he had returned to that afternoon more than ten years ago, with the same crisp childish voice, the same pink and tender face, and the same dark and rolling eyes. It's just that Chen Jingyun was alone at that time, but now he has become two small people.

Feeling overjoyed, he stepped forward and grabbed Ertong's little hand, saying repeatedly: "Good! Good! They are all good dolls, all are good dolls" I can't get enough of it.

After the ceremony for the two disciples was over, Chen Jingyun introduced Peng Qiu to everyone. When it was said that Peng Qiu was born as a serious scholar and would take over from him to teach the boys, everyone around them gasped. Even more excited, he hastily wanted to salute Peng Qiu.

When Peng Chou saw this, his face turned pale with fright, and he said to himself, "My dear mother! This is killing me!" He rushed forward and grabbed Lao Cunzheng.

Then he bowed to the bottom and said anxiously: "Elder, forgive me! Although I was born as a scholar, now I am the servant of the temple master. I dare not accept your gift!"

After hearing this, Lao Cunzheng was taken aback, turned his head to look at Chen Jingyun, and seeing Chen Jingyun nodding, Fang believed that this ceremony would not be able to be done, but he was very proud in his heart, and said in his heart: "Our Brother Yun is the best, that is Master Xiucai can also be taken as a servant!"

Thinking that the children in the village will be taught by Mr. Xiucai in person in the future, he immediately became excited again, and hurriedly called all the children to meet the new teacher, ignoring the depressed old teacher Mr. Chen Xiao, as if throwing away They settled down in a dilapidated household, and everyone felt amused.

After explaining, Chen Jingyun joked with everyone, took his disciples and Peng Qiu to leave, and asked Peng Qiu to tie a few jars of the village's coarse wine to his horse's back before leaving.

The four of them climbed the mountain slowly with one horse, Chen Jingyun took one apprentice by the other hand, and told a few funny stories about his mischief in Niujia Village from time to time, which made the two apprentices laugh.

Seeing this scene, Peng Chou, who was following behind with a green horse, couldn't help but feel sore eyes, and said in his heart, "The temple master is a man of immortals, and now the young master and miss are worshiping under the temple master's door. I'm afraid that no one in this world can hurt you." If there is nothing wrong, the great revenge will be avenged in the future, and the old master can rest in peace."

After cupping tea, the four of them walked to the top of the mountain, and saw a small Taoist temple lying there quietly.The Taoist temple is built in an ordinary way, with gray bricks and red tiles, a courtyard wall as high as ten feet, and a slightly mottled brown-painted wooden door. On the top of the wooden door, a plaque carved from mountain cypress hangs high. There are three big characters in the book - Xianyunguan.

Chen Jingyun pushed open the wooden door and stepped in. The three people behind him suddenly felt that the whole Taoist temple came alive. The moment the owner stepped into the ordinary Taoist temple, there was an indifferent and comfortable taste for no reason, which was fascinating. .

He led several people into the main hall, ordered the two disciples to kowtow to the master, and he himself kowtowed and prayed.After the ceremony was completed, he ordered Peng Qiu to clean up several rooms for the three of them to live in, and then let the two apprentices play without mentioning it.

It was night, and the candles in the main hall had not been extinguished all night.

When Peng Qiu woke up to clean up early in the morning, he saw several large wine jars beside the futon in front of the portrait of Immortal Master Lingyuan, but the wine jars were empty. , I heard a somewhat lazy voice in my ears: "Peng Qiu, why don't you cook? Remember to cook more meat."
