All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 59

In the suburbs of Beijing, Magpie Bridge Mountain, the Temple of Longevity.

After Shen Liang was kicked out from the Shen family, he had nowhere to go, so he had to use the little money he had left to send him back to the Temple of Longevity.

In recent years, Shen Liang has practiced in the Temple of Longevity under his name, and has offered a lot of incense money. Even if he is down and out now, there is still a quiet room in the temple for shelter.

With what the old ancestor said earlier in the mourning hall, the second wife, Cui, approached Shen Lingxi to ask for Cuiyuan's life contract, went to Shen Liang, and under threats and coercion, exchanged a copy of Heli Shu, and moved out of Xuanpinghou. government.

Shen Liang was penniless and betrayed by all relatives, only the Cui Yuan's body deed in his hand became his only property.

A penniless, ungrateful man holds the identity deed of a young woman in his hand, and wants to exchange for some money, most of which are dirty methods.

What's more, the concept of longevity is not a clean place.

More than ten years ago, although the mind of the temple master was not righteous, he made some achievements in Taoist medicine.

But now, the concept of longevity, which is full of secret ways, has been completely reduced to a nest of snakes and rats, a dirty pool.

In the name of bringing good luck for others and sending off children to pray for blessings, the evil way of view specializes in some shady activities between men and women.

Shen Liang first repeated his old tricks, saying some sweet words, trying to coax Cuiyuan to be willing to be driven by him.

But after all, Cuiyuan was the maid who served her ancestors, she was bewitched by Shen Liangshanmeng's oath before, now that she knows his true face, how could she be fooled by him again.

Shen Haoyan said that he could not be seduced, so he completely tore off the mask of hypocrisy, and joined hands with her in the evil way, and studied her very closely.

However, within a few days, Cui Yuan was tortured to the brink of death, life would be worse than death.

On this day, the rain was over and the sky was clear. It was the day of the [-]th incense ceremony, and it also caught up with the imperial court's rest.

Due to the continuous rain, the Longevity Conception, which had been silent for several days, resumed its excitement.

The number of pilgrims who come to the temple today is more than double that of before.

Because Concubine Zhao's elder brother, Duke of Wei Zhao Dong's concubine, was seeking a son at the Temple of Longevity last year, and soon after returning she became pregnant with Lin'er.

Now that the child has been born for a hundred days, the golden body of the Three Purities that Duke Wei had sculpted at Changsheng is about to be unveiled.

The Temple of Longevity set up a huge water and land dojo.

People in the capital went there one after another, just to get a taste of the blessing and immortality given by the Venerable Sanqing when the golden body was unveiled and consecrated.

How could Shen Liang miss such an occasion.

Early in the morning, he put on a brand-new Taoist robe, and dressed himself meticulously. He already had a good skin, and even though he was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, he did not lose his Taoist and immortal posture.

He was expelled from the Shen family, but he has practiced in the Temple of Longevity for many years, but he has his own Taoist name. Even if his legs are bad, as long as he wears a Taoist robe, he still has a chance to rely on his three-inch tongue to find another way to make a comeback.

At noon, the yang energy is at its peak, and it is also an auspicious time for the golden body to be revealed.

The servants and guards of the Duke of Wei's mansion set up a battle, surrounded by Duke of Wei Zhao Dong and the concubine of Zhenglong, the favorite family member, and came to the Sanqing Palace to personally participate in the unveiling ceremony.

The three floors inside and outside the hall are surrounded by people watching the excitement.

At the top of the main hall, the golden body of the Venerable Sanqing is still covered with a layer of red cloth, and it will be uncovered by the Duke of Wei himself after the Taoists in the hall have finished chanting the scriptures.

Shen Liang was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, only two zhang away from Wei Guogong.

He looked at Duke Wei's figure and was full of ambition.

Fantastically thinking that in the near future, he will be able to become an aide of the Duke of Wei with his own talent.Although it is not as beautiful as the second master of Xuanping Hou's Mansion, if one day, Concubine Zhao's son can be honored as a great treasure, he may not be unable to ascend to heaven.

"Licheng, please ask the Duke of the country to offer incense and expose the red."

Following the chorus of the Guanzhu, the sound of chanting in the hall also stopped, Wei Guogong stood up, and was about to step forward——
Everyone only heard a "click", and suddenly there was a strange sound on the ground in front of the golden body incense table.

Following the noise, the four bluestone floor tiles moved slowly to the sides, revealing a dark and wide entrance.

In the entrance, you can faintly see the newly built stone steps winding down.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is the entrance to the secret passage.

The Sanqing Hall is the most prosperous hall in the Taoist temple, and there is a secret passage hidden in it, which is really unimaginable.

Everyone unconsciously turned their gazes to the spectator.

"What is the meaning of the Lord's words?" Wei Guogong asked suspiciously.

The viewer was so startled that his eyeballs almost fell off.

He secretly thought in his heart that the secret passage of the Sanqing Palace was rebuilt during the sculpting of the golden body. It must be that the mechanism was not adjusted properly, and something went wrong at this time.

"This, this is..."

Before the temple master had time to think about his words, he heard a refined voice to help him out, "This is the underground hall specially set up by the temple for babies who died young, so that those poor children can sit in the seat of the Sanqing venerable." Come down, bathe in blessings, and be reincarnated."

It's Shen Liang.

"That's right, that's right." The temple master secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and cast a grateful look at Shen Liang.

Because of these words, Wei Guogong looked sideways at Shen Liang.

The temple master reciprocated, and hurriedly introduced to Wei Guogong: "This is the poor brother, the real Wuyou."

Shen Liang politely and respectfully greeted Duke Wei.

His hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling with excitement.

This is really...God bless, just wanted to show his face in front of Wei Guogong, God gave him such a chance.

However, Shen Liang's secret joy only lasted for a few breaths.

A chuckle suddenly came from the entrance of the secret passage, followed by a female voice that made Shen Liang's back tingle, came from under the stone steps.

"Second master is expelled from his family now, and he is wearing a Taoist skin. It is really admirable that he can still be so eloquent in another identity."

The voice sounded cold, and there was a bit of stiffness, which made everyone feel chills for no reason, and couldn't help but all looked towards the entrance of the secret passage.

I saw a woman in a wedding gown with her head bowed, walked out of the secret passage supported by a plain-looking Taoist nun.

Although the woman was wearing a wedding gown, she didn't wear any jewelry, only a hairpin of butterfly love flowers was placed on the hairpin that was combed into a woman's head. The silk butterfly on the hairpin fluttered and flapped its wings as she walked. .

"Who are you? Why are you here!" The temple master hurriedly stepped forward and asked sharply.

The woman didn't answer, she held the Taoist nun's hand, walked in front of Shen Liang with stiff steps.

Under everyone's attention, she raised her head. On her pretty face, a pair of empty eyes revealed an indescribable weirdness.

"Second Master, have you ever thought about me for more than a month after my death?"

The woman tilted her head and opened the corners of her mouth to Shen Liang, "You promised Magpie to marry Magpie, but now you and the second lady have reconciled. .Today is a day of great joy for the Temple of Longevity. Seeing me, are you... happy?"
