"The establishment of the Jiangshen Temple and the establishment of the Water Mansion are not a one-day effort..."

Xu Boqing cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I will arrange for people to repair the Jiangshen Temple. I have to bother my sister-in-law about Susu's water mansion."

"This matter is easy..."

Ao Lan waved her hand casually, and then looked at the adoptive daughter beside her, seeming to be emotional, and said jokingly: "As the saying goes, God rewards you with food, but Susu, God is chasing you to feed you."

Xu Susu knew how shallow her previous heel was, and she also knew from whom she had such a deep blessing now.

She secretly glanced at her mentor, and said shyly: "The great kindness of mentor and godmother has long been engraved in my heart, and I will never forget it in this life."

"You shouldn't forget."

Ao Lan nodded slightly, and said, "The broad avenue that your master has paved for you is a fate that many practitioners can't even dream of."

"Sister-in-law is serious."

Xu Boqing complimented in a teasing tone: "Without the full support of my sister-in-law, I, a lonely family, would not be able to pave the way."

Seeing her mentor and godmother rejecting each other, Xu Susu pursed the corners of her lips and snickered, while obediently pouring wine and tea...

When the wine and food are full, the chat is almost over.

Xu Boqing pondered for a while, and confessed: "I don't understand the matter of the water mansion. Susu, you have been following behind your godmother recently, learning how to coordinate a water area."

Xu Susu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "Master, are you leaving?"

"good."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, and then explained: "There are many mountains and rivers in Jiangling Mansion, so it's not too late to repair the temple. Besides, as a teacher, I have to go to find out the people's situation in Jiangling Mansion, so as to prescribe the right medicine."

"But……"

"Nothing to be desired."

"Susu is here with me, don't worry..."

Ao Lan also knew that her brother-in-law was entangled in worldly affairs, so she didn't want to keep her. Seeing that the adopted daughter seemed reluctant, she joked: "What? Is it because you don't want to part with your master? Or don't you want to stay here with me?"

"No, no..."

Xu Susu's cheeks were on fire, and he said in a low voice: "I'm worried that my teacher is out alone, and there is no one around who is not used to serving tea and water."

"Do not worry…"

Ao Lan comforted, "Your master has traveled the world for many years, and he is not used to it?"

"..."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, but thought to himself, sister-in-law, you think highly of Xu, and I'm really not used to the days when there are no beauties around me.

"Your godmother's place is not far from Jiangling Mansion, and the location of your Shui Mansion is also within Jiangling Mansion. You can find a teacher anytime you want."

His voice paused, as if he had thought of something, he said again: "Besides, when the statue of the god in the temple is built, even if you don't come to find a teacher, the teacher will have to come to find you."

"OK then."

Although Xu Susu was reluctant, she still nodded obediently.

"Boqing, wait a moment..."

Ao Lan's voice paused, as if she had thought of something, she got up and left the seat, as if she was looking for something mysteriously.

After a while, she returned to her seat with a crimson gourd in her hand, and said with a smile, "I know you are good at wine. This gourd contains some old wine, so I can keep it to quench my thirst on the road."

After finishing speaking, he casually threw the gourd to the past.

"Oh?"

Xu Boqing was surprised after taking the gourd.

Maybe it's because the red leather gourd is filled with wine, it's heavy in the hand, and it's still warm, even if you don't use your eyes, you can see the precious light overflowing from the gourd, obviously it's not an ordinary thing.

He rubbed it in his hand for a moment, and asked with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law, this gourd is full of precious light, it's not like ordinary things."

"It's not even a treasure."

Ao Lan didn't hide it either, and explained: "This gourd is originally formed by a spiritual root, although it looks small, it can hold water from rivers and lakes inside.

What's more, the gourd contains an innate essence of plants and trees. If some ordinary mountain spring water is put into it, it only takes a few days to turn it into a spring of nectar, which is just right for drinking. "

"..."

Xu Boqing secretly gritted his teeth when he heard this...

I worked so hard to get the magic weapon, thinking that I had to save my "face" as a master, but in the end I still owe my disciples a teacher gift.

But this wine gourd is a treasure made of spiritual roots!

My sister-in-law said 'it's not a treasure', that must be a modest remark, just listening to the 'spiritual roots' and 'innate vegetation essence' is not comparable to ordinary magic weapons...

He caressed the gourd in his hand carefully, and asked with a slight frown, "Sister-in-law, is this gourd too expensive?"

"precious?"

Ao Lan raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, pretending to be displeased and said, "Boqing, when did you become so petty?"

Her voice paused, her tone softened, and she said again: "This thing is useless to me. You left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to see you off. Don't forget this time."

"Since it was a gift from my sister-in-law, then I will be disrespectful..."

Xu Boqing didn't pretend to refuse, but just added a new label of "rich woman" to Ao Lan's "sister-in-law", "widow", and "Dragon King" in his heart.

Ao Lan saw that he took the gourd away, her expression softened a bit, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law knows that you are troubled by the secular world, so she won't keep you anymore, and you can often come to play in your free time."

"As it should be."

Xu Boqing drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and didn't intend to keep it any longer, so he turned it into a gleam of light and left.

The pearls in the Dragon Palace are illuminated, there is no difference between day and night, but when you get out of Tongtian River, you realize that it is already a dark night with few moon stars outside.

Standing on the river, he pulled out the wine gourd presented by his sister-in-law. Not only did the mouth of the gourd release the unique spicy taste of the wine, but it was also accompanied by a faint fragrance of grass...

Just smelling the taste, I feel my mouth salivating, I simply raised my head and took a sip under the moonlight, and then I was speechless: "The scenery is beautiful, the wine is beautiful, the people are more beautiful, wonderful~"

After all, his figure disappeared into the night...

Gangneung Mansion…

At the foot of Xiao'an Mountain, there is a dilapidated Jiangshen Temple...

A few years ago, for some reason, all the statues of the Jiangshen Temple in Jiangling Mansion were shattered overnight. The government of Jiangling Mansion then came forward to classify the Jiangshen Temple as a prostitution temple, and strictly prohibited people from worshiping the Jiangshen.

There are no villages or shops in front of Xiao'an Mountain. After the Jiangshen Temple at the foot of the mountain was abandoned, it became a temporary foothold for passers-by and merchants.

At this time, under the tree outside the Jiangshen Temple, there were a few mules and horses tied, as well as a few boxes of goods, while two piles of firewood were burning in the ancestral hall, with fireworks curling up.

Beside the larger pile of firewood sat eight middle-aged bodyguards in short jackets. They roasted the butcher shop and dry food they carried by the fire, with waist knives beside them.

There were only two young people sitting beside the smaller firewood pile, one was a Confucian scholar in a long gown with thin lips and hooked nose, and the other was a bookboy servant with a bookcase beside him...

Although they both stayed overnight in the Jiangshen Temple, the two groups were clearly separated, and they were obviously not the same way.

Right at this moment...

There were faint footsteps outside the Jiangshen Temple, the Confucian scholar frowned slightly and looked outside, and the escorts looked at each other, and they all stopped chatting and looked over.

It can be vaguely seen that the person who came was a middle-aged man in a white shirt with a refined bearing, and there seemed to be a wine gourd hanging on his waist.

The person who came was Xu Boqing who had changed his appearance...

It was already dark, and considering that the Governor of Jiangling Mansion might already be asleep, he was not in a hurry to find it, but instead searched in Jiangling Mansion...

Later, he noticed that there was some fireworks in the dilapidated Jiangshen Temple, and he had nothing to do, so he pressed the cloud head, thinking of exploring the people's feelings of Jiangling Mansion by the way.

Xu Boqing saw that the two groups of people in the Jiangshen Temple were looking at him, arched his hands and smiled: "Xu passed by here alone, thinking of finding a place to stay for the night when it was dark, never thought that there was an owner here, and disturbed him." Here, I look forward to your Haihan."

"Mr. Xu is polite."

The leading bodyguard raised his body and cupped his hands in return, saying: "This Jiangshen Temple is a land without an owner, and we just came a moment earlier, so we can't talk about disturbing it."

"It's inconvenient when you're away from home."

The Confucian scholar with thin lips and hooked nose also echoed lightly: "As long as you are not a thief who seeks money and murder, you can find a place to rest on your own."

"Then thank you all..."

Xu Boqing smiled and cupped his hands, then stepped into the temple.

The god statue in the main hall has long been broken, and even the desk has been chopped up and used as firewood.

He found a corner and pushed aside the withered grass, but there was still a small half of the broken statue lying under the withered grass, which happened to be half of the muddy face of the old man with the scarlet head.

He couldn't help but look a little dazed, as if the killing of demons by the Qianling River was just yesterday.

He casually kicked the half of the clay statue aside, and said in a dazed way: "Tsk tsk, this Jiangshen Temple has been in Jiangling Mansion for decades, but in the end it couldn't even keep a piece of clay."

The two groups resting on their feet glanced at him with strange expressions, and the escort in charge asked: "Isn't Mr. Xu from our Jiangling Mansion?"

"Ok?"

Xu Boqing pretended to be surprised and asked: "How did this old man know that Xu is not from Jiangling Mansion?"

"Hehehehe..."

The bodyguard explained with a smile: "Even a vulgar person like me knows that the Jiangshen Temple has been established in our Jiangling Prefecture for more than 200 years, but Mr. Xu said it has been decades.

So I guess that Mr. Xu probably knows something about Jiangling Mansion, but he is not from our Jiangling Mansion. "

"I see."

Xu Boqing pretended to be suddenly enlightened, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My humble Xu Boqing, whose ancestral home is Jianyang, visited Jiangling Mansion a few years ago. I wanted to show off, but I never wanted to make a fool of myself."

"Jianyang? Jiangnan?"

The escort stared suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked meaningfully: "May I ask, what religion does Mr. Xu believe in?"

"Which one teaches???"

Xu Boqing was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

Just now I deliberately said the wrong thing, thinking that if someone strikes up a conversation, I can take advantage of the opportunity to chat.

It's true that we got on with the conversation as expected, but why can't we understand these words?

Seeing his ecstasy, the bodyguard was slightly taken aback, and asked again: "Mr. Xu is not from Heaven?"

"Heaven?"

Xu Boqing frowned and thought about it...

"Heavenly Kingdom" is the name of the country established by the Jiangnan rebellion, and behind the Jiangnan rebellion are the demons of the White Lotus Sect. The method used by the demons of the White Lotus Sect is to persuade people to believe in religion.

According to the files found in Xichang, in the past few years, Jiangnan believed in various folk religions, such as: Fenxiang, Hunyuan, Hongyang, etc., as many as dozens!

Hearing that his ancestral home was Jianyang, the bodyguard first asked himself which religion he believed in, and then asked himself if he was a member of the Heavenly Kingdom. Obviously he mistook himself for a member of the White Lotus Sect.

Thinking of this, Xu Boqing explained with a wry smile: "Although Xu's ancestral home is in Jianyang, he left a few years ago, and he is not a person from the kingdom of heaven."

"..."

The bodyguard also realized that he was thinking too much, he cupped his hands and apologized with a smile: "Recently, the folk teachings of Jiangling Mansion have mushroomed like mushrooms after a spring rain. It's because I thought about it. I hope Mr. Xu will not blame him."
