Chapter 818

Perhaps because he was worried that they would find out about his life experience and felt unhappy, Magistrate Tang kept sitting on the stone and chatting with them until he was so hungry that he patted his clothes and stood up, "Come on, let's go down and eat."

Something to ask for, the sun is about to set, and I will go to your house in disguise soon.

Man Bao led Magistrate Tang down, and then walked through the vegetable garden. He met Dao He carrying a vegetable basket to pick vegetables. When he saw them, he stopped and saluted Magistrate Tang calmly, and then looked at Man Bao.

He Baishan, "Daoxu said you were here, but I never saw you going to the front hall to worship the gods. I guessed that you were running around, why are you here?"

Man Bao said: "Just whispering."

Magistrate Tang looked at Manbao.

Daohe did not ask what the whisper was, but changed the topic and asked: "Do you want to ask for an amulet?"

Manbao shook his head, "My mother must have invited me."

Dao He was not disappointed either. He took out two amulets from his pocket, gave one to her and one to Bai Shan, and said: "These two are for you. I also gave one to Bai Er. Why don't you guys do it today?"

Let’s play together?”

Bai Shandao: "He came earlier than us, so he missed it."

Dao He nodded, stepped aside and said, "He is playing with people on the big lawn in front of him right now. You go find him."

Man Bao and Bai Shan nodded and said to each other: "I copied a medical book for you. Unfortunately, I had to rush out today and I forgot to bring it with me. I will have someone bring it to you tomorrow."

Bai Shan also said: "Last time you were looking for the Chongxu Jing, Manbao and I found it in the library of Fuxue, but we only copied a small half of it for you. I also brought it back to you tomorrow.

Ask someone to bring it to you, and the rest will probably have to wait until I come home next time, or when I come home on Thursday before I can bring it to you."

Daohe's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

Man Bao and Bai Shan smiled back and said goodbye. Magistrate Tang then left with Man Bao and Bai Shan. After walking a long way, he looked back at Dao He and asked them, "At his age, he actually watched "Chong".

"Xu Jing", do you understand?"

"Whether you understand it or not, read it first and then talk about it," Man Bao said, "Our husband said that if you read more books, you will naturally understand the meaning."

"Has he finished reading the Tao Te Ching?"

"Of course, I'm not a Taoist priest. I've finished reading it." Man Bao pointed to Bai Shan and said, "He has finished reading it too."

Magistrate Tang smiled and asked, "Can you understand?"

Man Bao shook his head, "I don't even dare to say that I understand it five or five points. I only understand one or two points. My husband said that he has read Lao Zhuang for his whole life, and now he has only realized five or six points of its meaning."

County Magistrate Tang sighed: "It's very powerful if you can understand five or six points. If everyone in this world could understand the truth of these two points, there wouldn't be so many troubles."

Bai Shan turned around and asked Magistrate Tang curiously: "Don't you, Mr. Tang, not believe it? How come you read Lao Zhuang?"

"If I don't believe in Taoism, why can't I read it?" County Magistrate Tang glanced at him condescendingly and said, "I am also not a Confucian, military strategist or medical expert, so why don't I also read their books?"

Man Baole said, "Then you must be a Legalist."

Magistrate Tang smiled and said, "That's right, not really, but my father is a Legalist. Are you considered a medical practitioner?"

Man Bao shook his head, "I don't think so. I not only like medical skills, but also think that many things Lao Zhuang said are very reasonable. I also particularly like Master Tianzun, but what Old Master Kong said is also quite reasonable.

I learned everything. If they couldn't convince each other, I would think about it and find the answer I liked. But the answers were partial to the law, partial to Confucianism, and partial to military. And after a while,

The answer will still change, which family do you think I am from?"

Bai Shan: "You are a Zajia, or a Zajia with a very weak will."

Magistrate Tang burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Man Bao said: "Sir, you haven't decided which family you belong to. Why do I have to be the head of the family?"

"Everyone's talent is praised by the world, but you can't do it even if you want to," Bai Shan said: "You are so young, you should read more books."

"I have read as many books as you now."

Bai Shan: "That's not necessarily true. Do you want to compare?"

Man Bao: "Let's compete. Who is afraid of whom? When we get back to Yizhou City, we will compete. Instead of asking the teacher to give questions, we will compete to see who can give an article that the other party cannot answer."

"Okay, instead of winning in one round, let Bai Er be the referee and write down the points one by one. In the end, whoever gets the most wins will lose."

The two bickered and walked to the front hall of the Taoist temple. There was still a lot of incense there, and people kept coming in and out to worship the gods.

Man Bao looked at Magistrate Tang, "Do you want to pay my respects?"

Magistrate Tang put his fan on his lower back and said, "Now that you're here, let's pay our respects. I'll meet the Taoist priest in the temple later."

When you go to see someone else’s temple, how can you not worship that person’s god first?

Man Bao and the others have become accustomed to worshiping every god every time they come to the temple.

Of course, at that time, Manbao was still short-legged and had no distracting thoughts. However, Qian who brought her here had a lot to ask for, so for the sake of peace of mind, she worshiped every god.

Manbao followed his mother and bowed to her.

Later, Bai Shan also liked to go to the temple to worship the gods, so he followed Manbao to worship there one by one. All he wanted was that the homework would be easier, the teacher would have more vacations, and he could go to the county town to have fun and so on.

Later, the older you get, the more wishes you make. The older you get, the better your family and friends will be in good health, and your studies will go well...

Even though they knew that gods could not bless so many people and fulfill so many people's wishes, they still worshiped them one by one out of habit.

The magistrate of Tang County was accustomed to worshiping only the Lord God.

This Taoist temple was Lao Tzu's home turf, so he only bowed to Lao Tzu and then watched the two of them go there one by one.

He smiled and shook his head, followed, and finally saw the Taoist priest in the temple.

The two Taoist priests were sitting on either side of the people interpreting the signatures. Magistrate Tang looked at them for a while and found that they were interpreting the signatures for free. Some of them gave money, some didn't, and some asked them from their arms.

Take out two eggs and give them to the Taoist priest...

County Magistrate Tang:......

No matter what the believers gave, the two Taoist priests took it all and put the money in the box beside them, and the eggs and other things in the basket at their feet.

Regardless of whether they gave it or not, they all smiled and there was no change.

Magistrate Tang touched his chin and turned to ask Manbao: "Is this always the case for the Taoist priests in this temple?"

"Yes." Man Bao stood on tiptoes and looked at it before saying, "This year's market is much better than last year."

A ten-foot whisk came over. Man Bao turned around and saw Shou Cai standing behind him at some point. He stared at Man Bao with a smile in his eyes and asked: "Why don't you come to see the master even if you are here?"

The master of the temple has been sitting here for a while, waiting for you to come over and draw lots."

Man Bao chuckled and said, "I won't draw the lottery this year. There are a lot of people trying to draw the lottery."

But Shoucai shook his head and said: "Let's shake one. We shake one at every temple fair, so why make an exception this year? Shake it and give it to senior brother to interpret the fortune."

Then he looked at Bai Shan and said with a smile: "Little layman Bai, please also shake a lot."
