Wen Old Town returned to the inn smoothly.
When Shang Kui saw that he had returned safely, he could finally relax.
Wen Jiucheng didn't say what he did when he went out this time, and Shang Kui didn't ask any questions.
The Jade Lin Guards took the spies around the city for two laps, and then they all returned to the inn. For this reason, the spies already understood that they had been tricked, but what could they do? Can only endure.
Early the next morning, Wen Old City and Shang Kui rode to Zizai Temple on horseback.
Since today is the fifteenth day, Zizaiguan not only has a puja, but also provides free fasting meals, and there are many pilgrims from the Zaizaiguan before.
Even though Wen Jiucheng monk Shangkui deliberately went out early, he still could not avoid the peak period. The Taoist temple was full of people inside and outside. Fortunately, the local government had anticipated this and sent people to maintain order in advance.
There were officers and soldiers watching, everyone was quite honest, and the atmosphere was lively but not noisy.
Wen Jiucheng and Shang Kui walked around the Taoist temple and found that there were people everywhere.
The bell rang leisurely, reminding everyone that the puja was about to start.
The puja was set up on the square in front of the main hall.
Pilgrims went to the square one after another, looking for a place to sit down. Those who were more careful would bring a futon or a small cushion, and those who were not particular would simply sit on the ground. There were men, women and children.
There is a high wooden platform at the front.
At this time, the old fairy was sitting on the stage.
In front of her was an incense burner, with incense sticks and green smoke curling from the burner.
Behind him is the gate of the main hall, with the four characters of freedom and purity hanging on the door.
The old immortal was wearing a loose Taoist robe with a white background and gray edges, with wide sleeves hanging down by his side, and holding a white jade whisk in his hand.
His hair is already gray, he has a long white beard, and even his eyebrows are white, but his face is wrinkled, red and full of energy.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very relaxed and comfortable, which matched the four words on the plaque behind him, and he really had a bit of immortal temperament.
Seeing this scene from a distance, Shang Kui couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"This old fairy is very good at pretending."
Wen Jiucheng put his hands in his sleeves and squinted at the old fairy sitting on the high platform, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the bell rang three times in succession, the ceremony officially began.
The old immortal opened his eyes and spoke the Taoist method without any hassle.
He is different from ordinary Taoist priests who like to pretend to be mysterious. The Taoism he speaks is simple and easy to understand, and it is easy for people to feel immersed in it. Listening to and listening to him will make him involuntarily identify with his words.
This can be seen from the reactions of the pilgrims present.
Except for the children who are too young and ignorant, almost everyone is attracted by the Taoism taught by the old god.
They held their breaths and listened quietly.
Some people will nod their heads while listening, thinking that the old fairy is right, and some people will even show a look of surprise, as if the backlog of problems in their hearts have finally been solved, as if they have been enlightened, and some people are particularly emotional, even I will cry when I listen to it.
Even Shang Kui, who was originally dismissive, was fascinated by it.
It wasn't until Wen Jiucheng called him that he came back to his senses.
He turned his head to look at the old city of Wen standing beside him, his expression still a little dazed.
"Sir called me?"
Wen Jiucheng said calmly, "Well, let's go over there."
As he spoke, he pulled out his right hand from his sleeve and pointed to a person sitting on the porch not far away.
Shang Kui looked at the situation, and after seeing the person sitting clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why is he here?"
The person sitting under the corridor is the local county governor Jian Shujie.
He didn't wear official uniforms today, and he dressed quite low-key. He was listening carefully to the old immortal's explanation of Taoism, and he seemed to be listening very seriously.
When Shang Kui and Wen Jiucheng came over, the servant behind him bent down and reminded Jian Shujie in a low voice.
When Jian Shujie saw Shang Kui and Wen Old City, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He stood up: "Why are General Shang and Mr. Wen here?"
Shang Kui first clasped his fists in a salute, and then said.
"We heard that there is a puja held at Zizaiguan today, so we came here to join in the fun. We didn't expect to meet Jian County here. What a coincidence!"
Because he was afraid of disturbing others listening to the old immortal's explanation of Taoism, Jian Shujie proposed to take them to the wing to sit for a while.
A group of people went to the backyard specially provided for VIP guests.
This wing room is very elegantly furnished, and there are special little Taoist boys who bring tea and snacks to them.
Wen Jiucheng silently observes everything here, and being able to have such a good wing here shows that the people in the Taoist temple know his identity, plus he is very familiar with this place, and the little Daotong has some habits of him. Also quite understand, presumably he is a frequent visitor here.
Jian Shujie pushed two cups of hot tea over.
Wen Jiucheng took a sip of the tea cup and praised the good tea.
Jian Shujie said with a smile: "This tea is treasured by the old gods. You can't drink it in ordinary places, so only the view of freedom can drink it."
Shang Kui didn't know much about tea, so he sighed with emotion when he heard the words.
"It turns out that you deliberately ran to watch yourself, just to drink tea!"
Unexpectedly, Jian Shujie smiled bitterly: "I'm here to drink tea just by the way. I mainly want to ask the gods to bless my wife and hope that her body will get better as soon as possible."
Shang Kui was taken aback: "Is Madam Zun sick?"
Jian Shujie let out a long sigh, his tone melancholy and depressed.
"Yeah, my wife suddenly fell ill not long ago, and it was useless to ask many famous doctors. I really had no choice but to try to pray to God and worship Buddha. I hope God will give my wife a first line for the sake of my sincerity. vitality."
Shang Kui suddenly said, "So that's how it is!"
Wen Jiucheng: "Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to show Mrs. Zun a look?"
Jian Shujie: "The Imperial Physician only treats the royal family, how can it be easily hired? What's more, my wife is too ill to get out of bed now, and the doctor said that she must rest in peace. She doesn't travel far, even if I want to take her to Shengjing to ask for help. Even a doctor can't cure a disease."
The more he spoke, the more distressed he became, his face saddened.
Shang Kui didn't know what to do, so he could only give a symbolic reassurance.
"You don't have to worry too much. Jiren has a natural appearance, so Mrs. Zun will definitely get better."
Jian Shujie forced a smile: "Then it's your blessing."
The three talked about something else.
The little Daotong came over to remind him that the dharma meeting was over, and the old immortal would come over soon.
Jian Shujie smiled and thanked him, with a very kind attitude, without the air of a third-rank official.
When the little Daotong left, Jian Shujie explained to Shang Kui and Wen Jiucheng.
"In order to pray for my wife's blessings, I will come to burn incense on the 15th of every month, and listen to the old gods explaining the Taoist method.
The more I came here, the more I became acquainted with the old immortal.
After each Fa session, I would chat with the old immortal alone for a while and listen to him talk about the Fa.
Today is also a coincidence, I met you here, why don't you stay and chat with the old fairy? "
Shang Kui and Wen Jiucheng originally came for the old immortal, so they naturally said yes.
