Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 40: Loyal obsession

Jingniang left Daxiangguo Temple and returned to her Yuzhen Temple.

She went back in the sedan chair carried by the two of them, and she looked a bit like a Taoist priest in her dress. She wears a drapery hat and white gauze to cover her face; she wears a broad road gown with a gossip picture on the back. This gown is so wide that she can wear it... but still can’t cover it. The figure, mainly because the chest is too high, makes the chest look empty and makes the clothes look wider and unfit.

If she hadn't been covered by this wide avenue robe, her tall, plump and attractive figure would be too eye-catching.

Yuzhenguan is not far from Daxiangguo Temple, and it is not easy to have a small piece of land in this area; if she hadn't got the funding from Mrs. Huarui when she was practicing in Mount Emei, she would not have been able to build this Taoist temple, and she would have no place to stand in Tokyo.

Many years ago, Jingniang's father was a doorman of a large merchant in the south, so she met Semu people from far away when she was a child. The Semu people brought all kinds of gods, but she didn't believe them; the reason for not believing was simple: she didn't think that the Semu people could control the affairs of the Jade Emperor Taishang Laojun.

The big merchant his father worked for was rich and unkind, but he was still willing to spare his life to defend his master. He told Jingniang: If you stand alone, you must be the master of everyone; if you can't be the master, you should be loyal to the only master at all costs, don't half-hearted, and don't have to ask why. Only by living in this way can we have a home...Her father may not know it, and his words and deeds to lead by example have planted seeds in the young Jingniang's heart and slowly took root.

Jingniang cannot change herself when she grows up. In her heart, the biggest thing in her life is to choose a master, and then entrust it to her for life, loyalty and allegiance until she dies. In order to be extremely loyal, of course this person must be a husband, saving everything.

That's why she followed Zhao Kuangyin unreasonably, because she decided to follow him that year.

Jingniang was rejected at the time. After returning home, she wanted to make her aspirations to death. Later, she had a little hope when she did not die. She left home to find Zhao Kuangyin... But Zhao Kuangyin never agreed and only let her be a righteous sister.

...

Perhaps because of the stimulation, Jingniang did some rare things that made Zhao Kuangyin stay away from her.

She tried to establish Yuzhen Guan in Tokyo and accepted a group of women as Taoists.

Few women in this gang are normal; if they are good-looking, good-looking children, I am afraid they will not go to this Taoist temple to seek safety, and they will not believe in any Queen’s mother’s teachings. They will not find a good family if they are stupid, and they will marry. What a good husband and son. Among these people, some of them are ignorant and ugly women, just like the black woman who specializes in sending letters to Jingniang. Her hands and feet are almost as dark as Zhao Kuangyin; there are also young and beautiful, but they are by no means good girls. With their own misery, it is really difficult to survive... For example, Yulian, almost joined the Queen Mother Cult. Those people's experiences with Yulian were similar, but their lives were not good anyway.

These women who were almost all abandoned by the world and could not survive, Jingniang did not dislike them, took them as her own, and let everyone get along as a family under the same happy dream. Because of the constant chanting of "saint aunt" every day, the believers are now convinced of Jingniang's deified identity and believe that she is the fairy next to the queen mother and came down to earth. If it is pious, everyone can cultivate into a fairy, with a beautiful appearance like a fairy, living in a fairy palace with Qionglou Yuyu, and rich clothes and food. Anyway, in the fairyland in the clouds, only flowers are only joy; there is no abandonment and persecution.

The government has never bothered them much. If it weren’t for the emperor’s decree to destroy the redundant temples and temples to save resources, it is estimated that the government would not bother to control Yuzhenguan...because they hadn’t done any bad things or forced good people into Teaching; the believers are all abnormal people, and they have no family. Where can they be allowed to be sheltered?

Once the government wanted to send someone to disperse them, but two people decided on the spot, saying that they wanted to leave the saint and they had to die. The officials gave up quickly and settled down.

……When Jingniang took a sedan chair into the backyard of Taoist Temple, everyone was still sitting cross-legged in the courtyard to respect the sky. There was a bronze cauldron in the middle, and the blue smoke was lingering. The women Taoist priests surrounded the bronze cauldron and said words, the words were simple and tacky. "Thank the Queen Mother, thank God! The Queen Mother is clever, fair, and omnipotent. If the world dares to be disrespectful, she will frustrate her bones and ashes; the Queen Mother will send her saint aunt Yuzhen to the world to relieve the suffering..."

There are forty or fifty people who are chanting. Jingniang can support dozens of people almost from scratch, and she has not done anything illegal, which is considered very capable.

When everyone saw Jingniang appearing, they hurriedly bowed down beside the sedan chair, shouting, "Saint Auntie!"

Jingniang didn't need to respond, and she didn't say a word in the "Guinei": the house where she practiced celestial arts. Then he summoned his confidant to enter the customs to discuss opportunities.

Now Jingniang's stomach is sulky, and her heart is lost, as if she is floating on the surface of the water without roots. Zhao Kuangyin seems to completely reject herself, but she doesn't know if there is still room for recovery. Even a little hope can make her feel better. . This matter was unclear for a while, but the immediate matter was imminent: If no one was helping the government, the Yuzhen Guan, which had been built so hard, would be demolished.

"Zhao Kuangyin is unwilling to contribute." Jingniang said to her subordinates simply.

All of them looked good, and Jingniang didn't want to watch the ugly person by her side all day long. When they heard it, they became worried, and one of them said, "What should I do! If the Taoist temple is demolished, everyone will have no place to stay, and no money will be made... What should a total of fifty or sixty people rely on for their livelihood?

The four people discussed for a while, but they were helpless. So many people have no place to live, and they have to sit and eat. They are all women, and what they can do is indeed a very headache and serious practical problem.

At this moment, the youngest girl said, "Do you still remember Yulian who lived in Yuzhenguan for several months?"

Everyone said that they still had impressions, but they didn't know what Xiao Niang meant when she mentioned her, so they asked hurriedly.

The little girl seems to have forgotten her worries, and when she is gossiping, she is excited: "When Yulian was in the Taoist temple, she mentioned a small school called Shao brother, you may not know, but I love to inquire about these interesting things! Yu! Why did Lian live there and go back? Because Shao brother came back and was promoted to a high official, the next day he took a hundred people to the market to marry Yulian. That platoon was called a big, hundred cavalry. Guard! I was curious and asked someone to find out what official Shao brother had been promoted...The inner hall is waiting, and what state governor is there. Isn't it young?"

Someone blurted out, "Yulian is like that, and there are those who are high-ranking officials who are willing to marry? What kind of brother is he called, isn't he young?"

The little girl said: "I don't know this. Anyway, Yulian has already lived in the former Fu's yard, not far from here; I heard that the queen personally rewarded the yard to Brother Shao."

Suddenly a few people thought there was a way, and one of the women immediately said, "Yulian is here with us, and it’s good to treat her. If you go to ask Yulian, let her ask Brother Shao to help us do some work in the government, maybe Yu Zhenguan It's all right!"

Even Jingniang felt that this way might as well give it a try. According to her experience, it is very likely that a female Taoist priest would fool a noblewoman. She ordered the attendant to do this.

After her subordinates left Daoguan, Jingniang's distracted attention returned to Zhao Kuangyin. She recalled what Zhao Kuangyin had said before, and she was even more heartbroken.

Something seemed to be slowly collapsing in her heart... She didn't believe in any Queen Mother and Saint Aunt, she didn't know what she was living for. She took off her Taoist robe, which was a "fairy dress" with patterns inside, and lay weakly on the wooden couch, not wanting to do anything.

...

She slept tiredly, and woke up again in a tangled mood.

It's better to follow Zhao Kuangyin's words, hand over the master to his subordinates, and go home. But Jingniang didn't want to go back when she thought of her bad reputation in her hometown. what should I do?

Feeling uncomfortable, she remembered the "Wangyou San" refined the previous month. The pill is not good for her health, but it will feel light and comfortable~www.readwn.com~ This is the Wei she got from Mount Emei. Jin ancient books were made according to the refined method; it is said that the Wei and Jin celebrities had nothing to do all day long, so they would eat this kind of "worry-forgetting scattered". Jingniang wondered if this pill was not good enough to take too much, but it was a good medicine when it was uncomfortable. Just take less.

When it is uncomfortable, it is now. Jingniang has almost no pressure, it doesn't matter if it is good or not, she will not worry if she eats to death.

She got up and took a pill, poured water and swallowed it. But she didn't feel it for a while, and she was not afraid of anything, and even ate two more.

After taking three pills of Wangyousan at a time, the medicinal properties began to develop within a short time. Her face gradually became flushed, and the corners of her mouth showed an enchanting smile, first lightly, then the medicine became stronger and stronger, and her vision was blurred. She no longer knows that she is in the mortal world, just feels that she has gone to the fairyland; even who she is and what she is doing has been completely forgotten, and there is a faint feeling in her heart that happiness and worry-free are true, and the world is just one A dream.

At this moment, the voice of a woman outside the door said, "Sage, things are going well. Yulian promised me that she would find a way to help us and repay her acceptance. She has persuaded Donor Guo, but Donor Guo said that she was worried about us. What kind of cult is it; he doesn’t want to help him to abuse him, saying that he needs to figure out our affairs before he is willing to help...Although we have not done bad things, we don’t have the government's salvation!"

There was no response inside, and the woman outside the door said again, "Why don't the saint-aunt invite him to come and see for himself? It depends on whether he believes it or not."

Jingniang, who was half-lying in the room, didn't even know what the people outside was talking about. She didn't even know what Yu Zhenguan was. When she heard a voice, she responded with a soft voice "Uh".

When the people outside heard the response, they said: "I understand, I will invite him over immediately. So that Donor Guo can understand that we only did good things, but we didn't do bad things!"
