Chapter 194 Juxian Mansion
The bark of the trees has been eaten away by the loess.
While the dust was flying, a monk about thirty years old walked up together with a warrior with a bow and sword.
"The autumn mood here is stronger than other places."
The monk looked around and sighed.
It seems that he is feeling emotional about the autumn scenery, but his words are full of pity.
"How does the mage want to get rid of the green seedling god?" Wu Ren naturally heard what he meant and asked.
"well……"
The monk shook his head:
"I don't know when the green seedling god appeared, but just judging from the fact that it can cut off a whole season of green seedlings in two counties with its own power, it must be a good thing. The poor monk guessed that the god in Mingxia County many years ago
I am afraid that this famine was also caused by the Green Miao God. Such monsters have devoured several counties of pious incense for several years, and cannot be eliminated by the skills of a poor monk."
"Can't the Master invite Bodhisattvas to help?"
"No, no." The monk still shook his head, "The affairs of the gods and Buddhas are as complicated as the affairs of the human world. The poor monk cannot invite the power of the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, just like many caring people know clearly that there is a famine in this place and cannot persuade the people sent by the court to do so.
It’s like coming to help in a big way.”
"Don't those gods just care?"
"Maybe the time has not yet come."
"The time has not come yet?"
"The time has not yet come." The monk repeated, "Maybe we came to take care of it in advance and made them unhappy."
"..."
Wu Ren was silent for a moment, seemed to understand, and couldn't help but said:
"Master Gaoyi."
"Amitabha." The monk clasped his hands together, "The poor monk is a monk, so naturally he is not afraid of these things. Just don't implicate Pan Gong."
"Pan is a warrior. He is alone and has nothing to be afraid of." The warrior is equally free and easy.
"Thank you Mr. Pan."
"Does the mage have any clever plan to get rid of the demon?"
Wu Ren heard something in his tone again.
"Although the poor monk considers himself to be quite capable, such evil gods have their own ability to establish themselves and make a living, so it is probably difficult to get rid of them. However, with the name of 'Juxian Mansion' and a few lies, you may be able to bluff them."
live or even evict
Here, at least let them not dare to cause trouble again. Then lobby the local magistrates to open warehouses to release grain, help the people, and get through this disaster first." The monk explained, "The most urgent task here and now is still those who are suffering from famine.
common people.”
"It makes sense."
As Wu Ren walked, he looked around cautiously and thought at the same time.
For this matter, it is a trivial matter for the Master to lie about it. He casually borrowed the name of Juxian Mansion, and probably not many people would care about the chaos of Juxian Mansion. However, the gods in the sky obviously use this green seedling god to show off the sky.
Wei means that if they intervene in advance, they may be remembered as strange.
It's not easy to lobby the county magistrate here either.
However, the two of them had just walked into Langfeng County, when they suddenly stopped and looked ahead.
I saw a few houses in front of me. There were servants in soap coats leading mules and horses. The mules and horses were carrying grains. They donated grains to each house. The people in the houses went out to express their gratitude.
In addition to the servants, there seemed to be some servants.
Both of them were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.
After asking about it in the past, I found out that it turned out that the county magistrate had joined forces with the rich and powerful people in the city to open a warehouse to release grain and help the people.
The two of them couldn't help but be even more surprised.
Didn't it mean that the local county officials did nothing and the rice and flour merchants in the city were hoarding goods and selling grain at high prices?
Why is it different from what I heard?
Just in front of me, a temple appeared on the horizon. It was the temple of the Green Miao God.
When the two went in to take a look, they discovered that the statue of the Green Miao God in the temple had been pushed down at some point and was broken into two parts. There were many flowers growing densely on it, which were already a little faded, but they had not withered yet.
The warrior poked the idol with the hilt of his sword, and the idol turned out to be very brittle, like tofu, breaking into pieces at the slightest touch.
"This is……"
The two of them were even more surprised and puzzled.
"Master, be careful, I'll go ask." After saying this, the warrior left.
After a long time, the warrior returned.
When he came back, his eyes were wide open, as if he had heard something incredible.
"Mage! We're afraid our trip will be in vain!"
"Why?"
"Just a few days ago, the Qingmiao God had been eliminated by the gods. The Qingmiao God was eliminated by the gods in the cave temple at the foot of Langshan Mountain. On that day, the Qingmiao God had three statues in three temples in Langfeng County. It is said that there were also several other counties.
The temples and statues are all covered with flowers."
"Full of flowers? Which god?"
"Qing Emperor!"
"Qing Emperor? But the one in the poem?"
"It should be."
"This emperor's priestly duty is not to slay demons! Besides, his popularity has long since ceased, and this is not his dojo. How could he come here to slay demons at this time?" The monk seemed to be talking to himself, but you could hear it.
He is a knowledgeable man, "but this magical power seems to be the handiwork of the Qing Emperor."
"Oh yes, the gods also left a few lines of words on the stone wall of the cave temple!"
"What word?"
"The merits of good and evil have their own destiny. The evil gods caused chaos and harmed one party, but now they have been eliminated. It is a warning to future generations. They need to have a strong balance in their hearts when they act." Wu Ren recalled and repeated, "The local county magistrate and the rich people in the city just listened.
It said that the gods personally went down to the world to eliminate demons, and left such a line. I was afraid that my evil deeds would be remembered by the gods, but I also wanted to do some good deeds and accumulate some merit, so I changed my mind."
"No wonder..."
The monk looked thoughtful, still feeling strange, and continued to ask: "Are there any other rumors?"
"Other rumors? Oh, there is one!" Wu Ren said, "It is said that a few days ago, several immortals and experts came to this place and gave away famine pills. Taking one pill can keep you from being hungry for a whole day."
"Exalted Immortal...Salvation Pill..."
"What's wrong? Mage?"
"..."
The monk did not speak, but stood on the roadside and closed his eyes.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, and he had already made his own judgment: "The gods who really govern this place are unwilling to take action, so how can the Qing Emperor eliminate demons? This matter is because there is a real expert here!"
"The master is saying that it's man-made?"
"It's just a humble monk's guess."
"hiss……"
The warrior couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
When the mage was still on the road, he had already told him how difficult it was to get rid of the evil god with temples and statues spread across several counties. He also said just now that he could not get rid of the evil god, so he could only threaten him and persuade the county magistrate to come.
The famine in this place was temporarily suspended. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, there were experts who got rid of this evil god.
Moreover, more ingenious methods were used, so that local magistrates and powerful and wealthy people voluntarily opened warehouses to distribute grain and provide relief to the victims.
Where did this expert come from?
"Whether it is true or not, we will find out if we go and visit him. If there is such an expert, it is natural that he should go and visit him." The monk said, "Pan Gong, this is what you are good at."
"Leave it to me!"
The two of them continued walking forward.
…
The morning sun had just shone down, and the red and yellow colored forest was half-immersed in the morning mist. The morning light cast shadows on the ground. The Taoist temple was hidden in this morning mist colored forest.
Lin Jue meditated on the futon and practiced quietly.
Behind him, the junior sister was playing and talking with Cai Li and Fox.
I don't know why, but after Xu Shi's cultivation level was reached, Fuyao grew another tail after killing the Green Seedling God.
Now there are three.
But in most cases, it still looks like an ordinary white fox, with a tail slightly larger than a cat, so as not to scare people. Only a few times when it is alone with Lin Jue in a room, it feels bored, and it turns into its original form.
The size and shape changed back after a while.
No one knows what it is thinking.
"Fuyao is younger than you, and he went to the mountains to practice later than you. As a result, Fuyao can talk now, but you can't even speak."
"Meow~"
Caili cried softly.
When the fox next to me saw him, he also followed suit:
"Meow~"
"Eh? That's right, Fuyao, since you already know how to speak human language, why don't you always speak human language?"
"嘤?"
"What about you?"
"..."
The fox tilted his head and stared at her with clear eyes. He pondered for a moment and then said sharply: "You can also imitate a fox's meow. How come you never imitate a fox's meow?"
"Huh?"
The junior sister seemed to be shocked immediately.
The fox raised his head and imitated her, and said "Hey" again.
Lin Jue, who was meditating with his eyes closed under the dead pear tree next to him, had a smile on his lips. It seemed that he was not very focused on his practice.
At this moment, the fox seemed to hear something and turned his head to look outside the door.
Not long after, there were footsteps outside the door.
"Tuk tuk..."
Here in the wild mountains and wild mountains, someone knocked on the door.
Lin Jue opened his eyes, and his junior sister also felt confused. She went to open the door and picked up the long sword on the table.
"Squeak..."
The wooden door is in disrepair and has a sour sound.
Standing outside the door were actually a gray-robed monk and a warrior with a bow and sword.
The little junior sister first looked at the monk, then at the warrior and the weapons hanging on his waist. Behind her, a fox and a colorful raccoon appeared, one on the left and one on the right, staring at the two people outside the door.
"Amitabha."
The monk called out the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "The poor monk's name is Yun Chan, and he came to visit the master."
The martial artist also clasped his fists and said, "I'm Pan Jing."
The junior sister looked at them and saw that the monk had a friendly face, a gentle expression, and even a hint of respect, while the warrior was a little confused and did not reach out to touch the weapon, so she felt relieved a little.
"you……"
"Oh, it's a bit presumptuous to come here rashly. I haven't explained the reason yet." Master Yun Chan said, "We came from the capital. We heard that there was an evil god and famine here. We wanted to come and help, but we didn't expect the evil god and famine here.
It has been wiped out by the masters, and I heard that there are some immortals and masters nearby. I admire it in my heart, and after many inquiries and guesses, I found it here."
While talking, Lin Jue also came to the door, and the second and third senior brothers also came out.
"Since you are a guest, please come in."
Several people welcomed the two people into the Taoist temple.
Although the Taoist temple at this time was still somewhat dilapidated and old, it had been cleaned and tidied up by the junior sisters, and there were brand new stone tables and benches in the courtyard, which could barely be used to entertain guests.
However, when they walked into the Taoist temple, the first thing they saw was the dead tree full of pear blossoms in the courtyard.
How do dead trees bloom?
It’s already autumn, where are the spring flowers coming from?
The two couldn't help but look at each other.
The monk smiled slightly and said nothing.
The doubts in the warrior's eyes disappeared and he became respectful.
"The Taoist priest really has magical methods, a bodhisattva heart, and great wisdom." The monk walked in and said, as if he had really met a master, with a very low posture, "I wonder if I am lucky enough to know the names of several Taoist priests?"
"Poverty Taoist Yan Xuanyi."
"Li Miaolin."
"Lin Jue."
"Liu Qingyao."
Several people reported their names and looked at him with frowns.
"What's the matter with Master? How did he find us?" asked the third senior brother.
"The poor monk Yun Chan originally practiced in Jinzhou's Xuanbi Temple. Later he moved to the capital. Now he works in Juxian Mansion. He often does things for the people of the capital to exorcise evil spirits and save the souls of the dead. I heard that there was trouble here some time ago.
The evil god and famine had been left unattended for a long time, and there was no god to remove the evil spirit, so I came here privately to have a look. Although the poor monk’s magical power was far from enough to get rid of the evil god, I wanted to do my best. But I didn’t expect that there was actually something here.
Taoist priests and other experts have already eliminated the Green Miao God."
Master Yun Chan faced several people and said what he had said before in more detail:
"The poor monk has no other reason to come. He just admires a few people in his heart and wants to pay a visit and express his respect."
"It's very remote here."
"Although your temple is remote, several Taoist priests who donated pills to save the famine are all nearby. In addition, this Taoist temple has long been recorded in the county government, so the poor monk boldly guessed that several masters are here." The monk smiled and said.
, "It seems that the poor monk has not guessed wrong yet."
"The Master is so wise."
"You can't compare with several Taoist priests."
"Since you Juxian Mansion knows that there are evil gods and famines here, and you are all in Qinzhou, why didn't you come earlier and send a few more people?" The third senior brother asked again.
"this……"
The monk was a little embarrassed and sighed helplessly.
"Let me answer for the mage." The warrior next to the monk said, "Firstly, Juxian Mansion is mostly filled with charlatans and magicians. It has gotten better in recent years, but there are not many who have real skills, and few people have the courage to come.
The bad luck of an evil god who can cause famine; secondly, the surrounding areas of the capital are not peaceful recently, and there are many things going on; finally, the imperial court, like the gods, does not want to interfere with the affairs here."
Lin Jue listened to their chat, but he was thinking about the three words "Juxian Mansion".
The first time he heard this name was when he met a strange monkey when he went out to search for immortals. The warrior named Luo Monk told him about it.
It is said that it is a place where strange people from all over the world gather, Buddhist masters and eat royal food.
"I have heard about this place. I heard that in the early years of this dynasty, it was still a place where strange people and strangers gathered. I didn't expect that it has deteriorated to this level now." The third senior brother said, "But the Master is a person of pure cultivation and does not go to those in the capital.
The temple has an order, why are you going to Juxian Mansion?"
"Living in the capital is not easy." The monk was helpless. "Not to mention that the people in Juxian Mansion are not all that miserable. There are also people who cultivate their minds and settle down here, and there are strange people and strangers who know all kinds of skills and magic.
Thanks to my own destiny, a poor monk would feel more comfortable staying there than in a temple. I can also get a generous allowance by doing things like exorcising demons and exorcising evil spirits."
"That's it." The third senior brother smiled, "We are also going to the capital, so Master, how about we go and have some fun too?"
"These Taoist priests have great magic power and are famous teachers and true Taoists. If they go to Juxian Mansion, they will definitely be the glory of Juxian Mansion and a blessing to the people of the capital." The monk said immediately.
"Juxian Mansion is not easy to enter, but with the skills of several Taoist priests, it is not difficult. As long as you enter Juxian Mansion, no matter how big the capital is, you will have a place to stay." Wu Ren also said beside him, "And every time
Even if you don’t do anything every month, you still get a stipend.”
"Isn't that a moth?"
"..."
"How many people are supported by Juxian Mansion now?"
"Thousands of strange people and strangers."
"How many people have real skills?"
"It's hard to say."
"Tsk..."
The third senior brother was speechless and turned around to look around.
Both Lin Jue and Junior Sister could see what he meant——
If the imperial court is not finished, who will be finished?
Chapter completed!
