Conquer the World

Chapter 39—Three People, Five People (1)

At Mushan Taoist Temple, few people know what year it was built, and few people know who built it.Even the people of Xiangcheng who are not far from Mushan do not know, when did they start to know that there is a Taoist temple on Mushan.Some people said that it was eight years ago, some people said it was ten years ago, and others said that there was such a house in Shanli. I do n’t know what dynasty was left, and it was not newly built.

But since there were more Taoists on Mushan, more and more people came to Mushan to play.It is not known how the Taoists in this Taoist practice practice, but their means of doing business is first-rate.A bowl of white rice for twenty renminbi, fifty wen for meat dishes, and thirty wen for vegetarian dishes. There is only one kind of wine, a pot for five hundred renminbi.

Big Sui Fushu didn't have much money for a bucket of japonica rice.Even if the white rice in Taoist Temple on the mountain is clean and delicious, it is definitely not worth 20 wen, and even 50 wen can buy a large piece of pork. I do n’t know how many meat dishes can be made.But the Taoists in Taoist Tao also made it clear that these meat, eggs and fresh vegetables were transported from Xiangcheng and had to be moved to the mountainside. The manpower and material resources were not a few, so it was justifiable to sell the money.

Most of the people who can live in Taoist temples are the families of noble officials and dignitaries. It ’s not their son-in-law or the lady who is the lady of the family. Naturally, they do n’t care about the small things of dozens of articles and hundreds of articles. The semicolon makes it difficult for Taoists to make a fortune.

The name Taoist temple is in context.

It is called Mushanguan.

There are 36 Daoists, 72 Daotong boys, and 11 Miscellaneous chores in Mushan Guan. The scale is not large, but the order is orderly.

The old Taoist man with a goatee, who looks rather immortal, out of dust, is the subject of Mushanguan.But outsiders rarely know that it is not a duster who made the decision in Mushan Guan, but an outsider who rarely shows up.Even Taoist and handyman in Taoist temple rarely see this master.Of course, the thirty-six disciples of Chuchenzi still know what the style of this master is.

He is called Xiang Qingniu.

He is very busy every day.

His background is mysterious and amazing.

He has an inextricable relationship with Xiao Zhenren who watched Qingle Mountain at once, and also had unusual contacts with a big man in the palace of the capital.It is said that he also has an extremely mysterious identity and a distinguished and scary brother who disappeared ten years ago.In Xiang Qingniu ’s own words, his brother did n’t know in which mountain he played the goblin spirit when he demolished the demon, and now he was doing the companionship in a cave.

Xiang Qingniu is his name, not the track number.

Even Chen Zizi didn't know whether the young fat man whose seniority was his teacher's uncle had a track number.In fact, if it were not for one year that he saw Xiang Qingzheng pulling off a beard on Qingle Mountain and watching Real Man Xiao, he could not believe that this guy who had no other advantages besides greed and wealth was actually in the door people.And it's still a very ... kind of person in the door.

Xiao Zhenren is the leader of Daomen, and Qingle Mountain's view of Qi is the holy place of Daomen.Although the titles of Sanqingguan in Wudang Mountain have become more and more popular in the past few years, there is no way to compare with the one-person view of Xiao Zhenren sitting in town.The explanation in Xiang Qingniu's words is that Daomen is one-gasification and three-clearance, Qingle Mountain is one-qi concept, and Wudang Mountain is three-clear concept.I don't know how to explain it like this. Taoist God knows whether he will strike thunder and kill this fat man.

Xiang Qingniu is very busy, very busy every day.

But the things he was busy with were simple, just two, except for sleeping.

If you eat too much, count the money, and if you are too tired, eat something.Every time Chuchenzi went to the small courtyard where Xiang Qingniu lived alone, as long as the young uncle was not sleeping, he must be eating. If he did not, he must be counting money.

Xiang Qingniu once said that people who are greedy for money but don't know how much money they have, then sooner or later the money in their hands will be exhausted.

Xiang Qingniu looks only 15 years old, and he is fat and fat. In fact, he is already 19 years old. It was at the age of 9 that his second brother left him.If he took off his robes and put on ordinary clothes, who would have thought that he would have an extremely distinguished identity among the Da Sui Daomen?Chu Chenzi still remembers that when he was in Qingle Mountain, Xiao Zhenren whispered begging Xiang Qingniu to get a track number, and Xiang Qingniu almost pulled out Xiao Zhenren's beard.

"I will follow the second surname of Brother Xiang! And my name is Xiang Qingniu, so that when I hear the name, I know that I am his brother!"

"Brother Shi."

Xiao Zhen corrected.

"Brother Shi is not a brother?"

Xiang Qingniu grabbed real man Xiao and asked fiercely.

"Naturally is, naturally is ... Brother of course is also a brother, who said it was not who I was anxious!"

Xiao Zhenren was so pained that he could not help but sigh after Xiang Qingniu let go: "Since I was a child, I have a good relationship with your second brother, and he really has the heart to leave you alone!"

Chu Chenzi still clearly remembers this conversation at the beginning, and also deeply remembered in his heart that he would rather offend Master than offend Uncle.Ten years ago, he was ordered by the teacher to travel around the world to open the door and finally choose Mushan.Four years ago, Uncle Xiao came to view Mushan, and since then he has lived a dark life.

It is said that shortly after he descended from Qingle Mountain, the uncle Xiaoshi, who was only nine years old, did not say goodbye.There has been no news since then, and I don't know why it suddenly appeared in Mushan six years later.At that time, Dianzi didn't dare to delay, and quickly sent someone to Qingleshan to send a letter.Zhen Zhen sent several groups of people around to invite Xiang Qingniu to go back, but he just stayed here.

Later, Xiao Zhenren carried a message: "It's okay not to return to Leshan in Qing Dynasty, but you are not allowed to leave again."

Xiang Qingniu pouted and said to the disciple who said the message: "Go back and tell Old Man Xiao, I had no money to travel around Da Sui six years ago and I couldn't find the second brother. The people who practiced Taoism in Sui were able to walk without money, but the disciples under the Da Sui Dao ancestors were far less popular than those bald donkeys, so it was not good to have no money. When I had enough money, I set off and left Da Sui to find the second brother Naturally, nowhere else. "

After hearing this remark, Xiao Zhenren sighed sadly and said an idiot.

Perhaps, this can also be the name of Xiang Qingniu.

...

...

When Xiang Qingniu was awake, he was already in the middle of the day. He rubbed his hazy eyes and rolled his head to keep going to sleep, but the people in the front yard were too loud to read the Tao Te Ching, so he felt very upset.Taoist Scripture, Chaos Scripture, Taoist said that these three books are compulsory homework for Daomen children, of course, except Xiang Qingniu.

Hearing the sound of the recitation in front of him, he immediately got up and got out of bed. He pulled up two shoes and picked up the copper basin for washing his face. The small courtyard strode the meteor to the back door of the front yard, and then smashed the copper basin towards the dust in the first seat.

Boom, very crisp.

After this crunch, the sound of reading in the room suddenly stopped.When I look at it again, Chu Chenzi no longer knows when he flew to hide behind the statue of Daozu.

Mu Shanguan's master shook his head tremblingly from behind the stone statue and asked cautiously, "Uncle Master, what did you tell me?"

Xiang Qingniu said that he would not let people sleep and turned his head away. After the figure of Xiang Qingniu disappeared, he flashed out from behind the stone statue. He rearranged his clothes and said solemnly: You feel the law of the natural avenue left by the ancestor of Taoism. This ... is in sincerity and not in loudness ... you listen to the spring breeze silently, but nature, spring grass is silent, and it is nature, so ... "

"Master, we know!"

The disciples said in unison, then began to meditate in their hearts.

Chu Zizi nodded with satisfaction, and said that it was indeed a material that could be made.

After returning to his yard, Xiang Qingniu got into the bed and continued to sleep. When he went to bed, he accidentally knocked down a copper coin. He immediately reached out and picked it up, put it in his mouth and blow it away.On the side of his wooden bed, countless coins and silver bills were piled up, and I don't know how many.

Of course, he knew it himself.

Looking at the pile of money, Xiang Qingniu muttered to himself: "Old man Xiao said that he ca n’t go without money in the world, and I do n’t know when I can save money. I will only wait here for five years. I wo n’t be able to get enough money. Brother II should not have brought much silver when he left. How far can he go, naturally I can go as well. "

After saying this, he shook his head again: "I am definitely not as far away as Brother II."

After saying this, he felt that he was hungry, and he would definitely be hungry and could not sleep.So he shook his fat body shirtless again and devoured the cooked meat and snacks left on the table last night.Patted his stomach contently, the fat fluttered like a wave of water.

Of course, you have to sleep when you are full. Counting money is hard work. You must wait for the rest to do it.

Before long, snoring sounded like thunder.

After an hour, Chu Chen appeared cautiously at his door, half body hiding behind the door, and said softly, "Uncle, are you still sleeping?"

Xiang Qingniu turned over and continued to sleep.

"There are people coming in the emperor capital, waiting in front, would you like to meet?"

"Is it Mr. Xiao again? No!"

"This time it wasn't ... it was an eunuch from the palace, with His Majesty's decree, although I still wanted to invite you to take the exam of Yanwu Academy this year, this time it was not a ceremony, but a proctor."

"The emperor sent someone?"

Xiang Qingniu sat up fiercely, rubbed his eyes and said, "The one sent by the emperor? That should still go ... Old Man Xiao can't listen, the emperor can't help but listen."

Chuchenzi took a breath and finally felt a lot more at ease.He always thought that Xiang Qingniu was a man who was not afraid of the sky, and now it seems that fortunately he still has the least awe of the emperor.

"Brother Er said before that Emperor Sui must listen, and the emperors of other countries can be fart. Since Brother Er said it definitely makes sense, I will go this time. As for the invigilation of Yanwu Academy ... Can you control the food? "

Xiang Qingniu picked up his clothes and went out, and said while walking: "Then I am going to the emperor capital now, Mushanguan you are in charge of everything, you can lack anything, that is, if you do n’t have enough money every month, come back It ’s not over with you ... In addition, I know how much money I have in my house. If I come back and find that there is one less copper coin, I will pull out your beard and hang you on the front yard beam. "

"Uncle Shi is assured ... that ... the previous mission is still waiting for you."

"Let him go back first, I will go to Chang'an myself."

...

...

After Xiang Qingniu got off the mountain, he realized that he had forgotten to bring some dry food, and he groaned in his stomach after a long walk.He had planned to go to a town not far from Mushan to find a way to eat something, but after accurate calculation, he found that he would definitely faint when he was a mile and a half away from that town.

At this moment, suddenly heard a sound behind him.He looked back and found that it was a train of about six or seven carriages.The chauffeurs are all sturdy men, and at first glance they are not good people.Especially the shrivelled old man who was catching the car in the second carriage even made him unconsciously resist.

When he was hesitant, he saw the carriage windows open, and many attractive women looked out, so he completely dismissed the idea of ​​asking for some food.In his opinion, the old man with a big wine gourd was terrible, but it was far less terrible than those fairy-like women.

At the time when all thoughts were lost, he suddenly found his luck.

About one hundred meters from the convoy, followed by a carriage.

It was a middle-aged man who drove the car, and the whip slammed.Sitting next to the bus was a young boy in black shirt, his eyes closed as if he was asleep.

This is not the point.

The point is that the rushing whip whips while eating meat.

Very fragrant meat.
