Chapter 205 Three people become tigers "Master, you have been staring at this thing for two hours." At the foot of Benshan Mountain, Tu Shanyu looked at Jiang Lin, who was sitting on the ground, looking at a piece of angelica in his hand over and over again. Seeing that Jiang Lin had no intention of paying attention to her, she could not help but shake her head helplessly and looked towards the distance. There, the people living at the foot of Ben Mountain were holding a sacrificial ceremony in full swing. Dazhuo, somewhat at a loss, stood on the top of Ben Mountain and watched the scene. In fact, given Dazhuo's current situation, if he were to show up and talk to the people, even the most stringent censor in heaven would not say anything. But Dazhuo didn't. He still followed the rules meticulously. God cannot appear before the people without a reason. Even though Dazhuo suffered a lot of grievances, those had nothing to do with the people. These are his children, and they are the best and kindest people.
And the people also knew this, because just now, Tan Daoxian was openly taken to heaven by the law enforcement officer of the Hall of Justice. Even the spiritual officials in the Hall of Justice, who were known for their coldness and ruthlessness, did not mind going through an extra procedure to "prove" Dazhuo's innocence to the people. The people also knew that their mountain god had been wronged and had been wronged. All they could do was to offer a sincere sacrifice. "Sacrifice to the mountain god! Worship!" The county magistrate's voice was extremely excited, and he was waving a large flag in his hand, which was bright red and eye-catching. As if it was a signal, flags began to flutter. Perhaps those were not flags, but the most colorful fabrics that every household could come up with. Many colors are mixed together, which looks very irregular and untidy, but the sincere wishes of the people have brought immense blessings. Tu Shanyu had seen the Luotian Grand Ceremony and the Water and Land Ceremony before, but she believed that even these two types of sacrificial ceremonies, which were known to be the most rigorous, grand, and solemn in Taoism and Buddhism, could not compare to the disorderly flags before her. The simplest gratitude and wishes of ordinary people are the best reward for the gods, and also the most eye-catching and shining achievement of a god. Jiang Lin finally stood up and nodded encouragingly to Dazhuo on Benshan Mountain. Dazhuo took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, took a step forward, and walked down Benshan Mountain. So, in the next moment, the people saw their own mountain god. The haggard old man, wearing tattered immortal clothes, stood on the altar somewhat awkwardly. Below the altar were countless people. The county magistrate blushed and was the first to kowtow. "Citizens of Dingfeng County! We would like to thank the mountain god for his merits!" "Thank you, mountain god!" Dazhuo waved his hands in a panic and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, this is a must." He didn't know what to say. In his heart, he just did what he was supposed to do.
The old priest of the mountain god temple and a group of elders pushed some children onto the altar with a smile. Some of these children were holding flowers, some were holding strange little gadgets they had made themselves, and some were just looking up at the haggard old man. Dazhuo relaxed visibly. He liked children very much. Perhaps in his heart, he had always been a child who had never grown up. The children looked at Dazhuo with some confusion, because they didn't quite understand why their elders were so respectful to the old man in front of them. The old people had no intention of explaining, they just watched with a smile. When children grow up, they will understand naturally and there is no need to explain. Because they all firmly believe that the mountain god will accompany these children as they grow up, until the children have children, and the children's children have children. The mountain god will always be with them, and even though they cannot always be with the mountain god, people will continue their lineage, and there will be generations of people. Dazhuo was surrounded by a group of children. He looked up in the direction where Jiang Lin was originally, and then he was stunned. He couldn't wait to tell the people that he was able to escape the injustice thanks to the great efforts of a Taoist priest and a young girl. However, those overly pretty Taoist priests and girls were no longer there. Jiang Lin and Tu Shanyu left quietly when Dazhuo was the center of attention. Because that is the glory that I deserve, and no one can take even a little bit of it away. ………… After leaving Benshan, Jiang Lin walked aimlessly. Behind him, Tu Shanyu was still following him at a distance not too far away. Jiang Lin lowered his head, still holding the brown and yellow piece of angelica in his hand. "Taoist Priest..." Tu Shanyu shouted helplessly, ran to Jiang Lin in two or three steps, and looked at him with one hand on her waist. This time, her call was finally answered. Jiang Lin raised his head and looked at Tu Shanyu. Tu Shanyu asked, "Is that woman so obsessed with the Taoist priest?" There was an unconscious hint of sourness in her tone. Tu Shanyu already knew the origin of the piece of angelica in Jiang Lin's hand, and also knew that the woman who handed the note to Jiang Lin had met Jiang Lin once. That is why the hateful fat boy said: She is prettier than this sister. It has always lingered in Tu Shanyu's mind. It was hard for her not to doubt whether the Taoist priest was really bewitched by that woman. "I was wondering what she meant by throwing this object over here..." Jiang Lin looked at the angelica in his hand and muttered to himself in some confusion.
"Danggui Danggui, of course, let the Taoist priest return home as soon as possible." Tu Shanyu curled her lips and said, "Maybe she is waiting for the second meeting at the Taoist priest's house..." Jiang Lin looked at her strangely, and then said seriously: "That woman's cultivation is probably higher than mine. It's possible that she has been keeping track of our whereabouts until now." Upon hearing this, Tu Shanyu couldn't help but look around. The fox elder in the void also frowned, but found nothing. "If she knew that I was leaving Kyoto to go back to Ziwei Temple..." Jiang Lin muttered to himself, "Then there's no need to remind me so obviously, because I'll be heading straight to Hangzhou next." "unless……" "Unless, in the eyes of that sister, something big is about to happen in Hangzhou, and it is related to the Taoist priest." Tu Shanyu took up the conversation. Although he was talking about serious matters, there was still a hint of sarcasm when he mentioned the woman. "So, this is not a reminder, but an urging." Finally, Tushanyu concluded. No matter what the relationship between the woman and the young man was, if you count the two times she took action, she actually helped the young brother. Then the information she gave this time cannot be ignored. If I delay my brother's business because of my jealousy, I will be condemned to death. Tu Shanyu is not someone who can hide her expression. Although Jiang Lin didn’t see it, the elder saw it clearly. He closed his eyes in increasing despair. Is this still the young master of our family who was aloof and arrogant, and who once shouted at the West Kunlun Immortal Conference, "Among the myriad races in the three realms and the countless geniuses of the new generation, none of them can catch my eyes"? Why is it so... worthless now??? For a moment, the elder even had the urge to beat that Jiang boy up. What? Beat the young master? Not to mention whether you are reluctant to give it up or not, do you really think that the two old ancestors in the family are fake in their favor towards the young master? "Urging?" Jiang Lin nodded, agreeing with Tu Shanyu's opinion. Under Tu Shanyu's puzzled gaze, Jiang Lin took out a scale as warm as white jade and infused his magic power into it with ease. 'Om...' The white jade scales hummed, and at the same time, a voice as gentle as water came out from them. "Fellow Daoist, what's the matter?" These four short words made Tu Shanyu feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and his eyes unconsciously became sharp. It has to be a woman, and she has to be a beautiful woman. Perhaps women have unique skills in identifying "rivals in love". To Jiang Lin, it sounded like a normal greeting, but to Tu Shanyu, those four short words were filled with an indelible warmth. "Friend Bai, has there been any recent changes in Hangzhou City?"
Jiang Lin didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point. Bai Suzhen, who was standing opposite, had obviously long been accustomed to Jiang Lin's style of doing things, and simply replied: "Everything is normal, the incense at Ziwei Temple is also good." "After Miaoqing left, I felt a little lonely..." Sparks were already flashing in Tu Shanyu's eyes. Jiang Lin said apologetically, "During this period of time, I have troubled Brother Bai to take care of the Huangguan. I am already on my way back and will be back soon." "it is good." Hearing this, Jiang Lin said, "I have prepared a return gift for Fellow Daoist Bai. Please don't despise it when the gift arrives." He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. The black cloak given to him by Fellow Daoist Bai was obviously extremely valuable, but he had ruined it badly. The return gift he prepared was just a small toy he had made himself. Hangzhou Prefecture, Longjing Mountain, Ziwei Temple. "Fellow Taoist is interested." After hearing what Jiang Lin said, Bai Suzhen smiled and nodded, not caring whether Jiang Lin on the opposite side could see it or not. After a few pleasantries, the white jade scales in Bai Suzhen's hand stopped buzzing. She put away the scales and looked up at the girl in green holding a hoe and with a sad and angry face. The girl opened her mouth and shouted in vain, but no sound came out. Bai Suzhen glanced at her and waved her hand to remove the ban on her mouth. "elder sister!!!" The next moment, Xiaoqing's sad and angry voice resounded throughout the backyard of Ziwei Temple. "Whether it was when Miao Qing was here or after she left, I was always with you! Why did you tell that stinky Taoist priest that you were lonely?" Bai Suzhen glanced at the unfortunate child, raised her finger silently, and pointed at the vegetable field behind Xiaoqing. "Well……" Xiaoqing stamped her feet and groaned in dissatisfaction, but under her sister's "tyrannical power", she could only roll up her sleeves and continue to work, hoeing the ground while muttering. "Everyday you just order me around..." "I am asked to work, but I am not allowed to use my magic power..." "I don't know what's so good about hoeing this vegetable patch. I wish I could turn it over three times a day..." "I am responsible for cooking, sweeping, carrying water, making the bed, burning incense, worshipping, morning and evening prayers. I have almost read the Zhongtian Ziweixing Zhenbao Chan to pieces..." "Not paying me! You also don't let me speak!" "People who sweep the streets still get paid! Humph!"
Listening to Xiaoqing's mumbling, Bai Suzhen glanced at the top of Xiaoqing's head with a smile. In her sight, as Xiaoqing worked in Ziwei Temple, imperceptible traces of pure and peaceful Qi lingered around Xiaoqing's body, occasionally passing through Xiaoqing's body, bringing out wisps of turbid evil spirits. As soon as the evil spirit appeared, it instinctively returned to Xiaoqing, but was immediately eliminated by the righteous energy of Ziwei Temple. Silly girl, this is your greatest reward. Bai Suzhen is born into the Lishan lineage, a legitimate and authentic descendant of the orthodox and righteous tradition. But Xiaoqing was a latecomer, and had a demonic aura in her nature. That was because she had never harmed anyone, otherwise the demonic aura would have turned into evil causes and consequences, and she would have had no chance of following the righteous path in this life. Ziwei Temple is blessed by nature. It is the orthodox Ziwei in the human world that has been listed in the Heavenly Court and has left its archives in Ziweiyuan. Not only does it have the thoughts from Wang Lingguan, but it also has the eyes of Ziwei Emperor from time to time. Living here permanently will bring endless benefits. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to work, and you have to make yourself familiar to the Emperor and the Spirit Official every day. This is also the reason why Bai Suzhen entrusted Xiaoqing with the tasks of cleaning the main hall, burning incense, and performing morning and evening lessons. In addition, Xiaoqing has a simple mind and has never done evil. The merciful Emperor and Lingguan will naturally not be stingy in giving this girl some benefits, and can also better guide her to be good and righteous. In the eyes of beings like Emperor Ziwei, there is no difference between different species, only between good and evil. As long as one is wholeheartedly devoted to the Way and follows righteousness, even an alien being can attain the Way. If you have evil intentions, burning incense will be of no benefit. You are upright and upright, so what's wrong with not bowing to me when you see me? These two sentences are not only applicable to Guandi Temple. However, Xiaoqing was the only one who was kept in the dark. "Why do you suddenly ask if there are any changes in Hangzhou?" Bai Suzhen looked at her sister sweating profusely, but she was thinking about Jiang Lin in her heart. When Xiaoqing saw this, she thought her sister finally felt sorry for her, and her hands and feet became even more nimble. You make me suffer every day, now you feel sad! "Let's go to Hangzhou." Bai Suzhen thought so in her heart, stood up, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, take a rest. Don't work today. I will take you to the city to play." "Really?!" Xiaoqing raised her head excitedly. Soon, Xiaoqing leaned affectionately on her sister's shoulder and walked out of Ziwei Temple step by step. My sister still cares about me. She knows that I have been wronged, so she takes me out to play. Damn Taoist priest, I win this time! Xiaoqing thought proudly in her heart.
But Bai Suzhen was thinking in her heart, could it be that fellow Taoist knew something that I had never paid attention to, so he asked this question? Is there going to be some changes in Hangzhou? Bai Suzhen had been exploring on the way and found that there was nothing evil or weird in the city of Hangzhou. The city gods and land gods are all in their respective positions, and the sun god is also on patrol, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene. "Sister, I'm hungry." As soon as she entered the city, Xiaoqing started yelling. She and her sister both had a layer of restrictions on their bodies. To others, they were just two ordinary women shopping. "it is good." Bai Suzhen was thinking about something and agreed to Xiaoqing. She was just about to take the girl out to eat something when she heard a noise. "Master chef, you have come here three times, do you want to beg for alms?" In front of a stall, the owner looked helplessly at an old monk in tattered clothes. The old monk smiled somewhat roguely and did not answer. The boss continued, "You came once, and I served you food. You said you weren't hungry. Then you came again, and the same thing happened the second time. This is the third time. Are you hungry or not?" Hearing this, the old monk finally smiled and said, "I wasn't hungry the first time, and I wasn't hungry the second time either. So, the third time..." The old monk shook his head helplessly and said, "Although I'm still not hungry, I've come here three times, so I have to eat something..." "You are kidding me!" The boss shook his head helplessly, but still served a few big, plump buns and joked, "Master chef, what are you talking about?" The old monk said nothing, just smiled, clasped his hands together, saluted, said a few words of blessing, then turned and left. Bai Suzhen looked at Zen Master Dao Ji's back thoughtfully. Can three people make a tiger? (End of this chapter)
