Chapter 410: Discussing Marriage in Xuannv Temple (Two-in-One, 200 Monthly Tickets This Month)
Speaking of the situation in Qingzhou, Zhao Zhen said: "I heard that Hu Yanzhuo was in Yanzhou and killed no less than 3,000 Songjiang Qingzhou thieves in the first battle with the help of a chain of armor and horses. I heard brother Tang Long said that the best way to break the chain of armor, horse, hook, sickle and spear, I don't know if the teacher can Are you interested in training a battalion of hook, sickle and spear sergeants in preparation for the battle formation? "
Today Tang Long has told Xu Ning about the current army in Liangshan Prefecture. When Xu Ning comes here, he is ready to go to other camps to be a guard.
It is conceivable that Zhao Zhen thought so highly of him that he wanted to lead a battalion by himself, so he agreed.
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Tang Long has complained to me many times that he can't lead the army to fight. So I asked Brother Tang Long to be a captain in the army. In the future, when the horses are ready and the teacher leads the horse army, Brother Tang Long can also be used." What do you think of taking over this battalion of hook-and-scythe gunners?"
Tang Long said happily: "This is the best. Thank you for your concern."
Xu Ning also thanked him repeatedly and said: "Official, this arrangement is the best."
After saying that, he pulled Xu Sheng out from behind and said: "I heard from brother Tang Long that the high official in the village also gave instructions to teach the children of all brothers. My wife asked me to send Sheng'er here and ask the high official to teach him together. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "That's good. Although there is no fixed teaching in the village, brothers such as Xuexue, Zhu Wu, Xiao Rang and others come here in turn to teach. My wife, Cheng Wan'er and Liu Huiniang, are the most knowledgeable and often teach these children. Literacy and arithmetic are no problem. Martial arts only teach some superficial methods, which are only used to strengthen the body. Each family has its own inheritance for fighting on the battlefield, and brothers need to teach them carefully. "
Xu Ning listened and nodded repeatedly.
Then, Zhao Zhen asked: "Teacher, how about calling this battalion of hook-and-scythe gunmen [Golden Spear Capital]?"
Tang Long said: "Very good, it fits my brother's nickname [Golden Gunner]."
Seeing that Xu Ning had no objection, Zhao Zhen asked, "Teacher, what do you want from the soldiers of your battalion?"
Xu Ning listened and said: "If a high-ranking official is just for ordinary use, he doesn't pick anyone. If he wants to break the chain armor horse, he must choose a tall and strong man with a hook hand. But when the horse arrives, he stirs the hook When he turned it over, he took the scratching hook and caught it. "
"When my brother came to our house, he only learned the art of foot fighting, and he never learned the art of breaking armor and horses. In the past few days, I have also taught my brother the three-way secret method of hooking the hoof and pulling the lower part of the leg. To be selected. Good sergeant of [Golden Spear Battalion], you just happen to be working with me to train the soldiers."
Zhao Zhen heard this: "In that case, please ask brother Tang Long to take the teacher to look around. If there is anything wrong, just tell me, I will send people to rectify it, and then go to Wanzi City to select troops."
"As for Xu Sheng, teachers don't have to worry. Like everyone else, there will be a carriage to pick him up at the teacher's house in the morning and evening."
After hearing this, Xu Ning and Tang Long thanked him and left.
Another day later, Chen Xizhen and his daughter, who had previously followed Bai Sheng to various places in Liangshan to meet heroes, came to the village to pay their respects.
Because of the presence of [Female Flying Guard] Chen Liqing, Zhao Zhen invited Liu Huiniang and Hu Sanniang to accompany him.
After a few people sat down, Zhao Zhen asked: "Uncle, I took a trip to the state, do you have any ideas?"
Chen Xizhen said: "My virtuous nephew and son-in-law, although there is chaos in the state, the officials are doing their best. Occasionally, there is chaos, but it can be quickly calmed down. Since I started practicing Taoism, I have been indifferent to officialdom affairs and resigned from many errands in Nanying, Bianjing." If it hadn't been for this bad thing, I would have caused trouble at the temple fair, and Gao Yanei would have wanted to marry me back home, but I would have lived in Bianjing forever. "
"I don't care about anything else. I also talked a lot with my husband-in-law Liu Guang. The state is banning wild temples, but I want to find a temple on the mountain to practice Taoism."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen quickly advised: "Uncle, sister Liqing is still young, how can you leave her? You must send sister Liqing to start a family."
Chen Liqing heard this and said, "Dad, why did you abandon your daughter to become a monk?"
Chen Xizhen said: "What are you talking about? I'm just practicing Taoism. Who said I don't want you anymore?"
After saying that, he said to Zhao Zhen: "Now that I know my destiny, I don't care about fame and fortune. If I were to have an official position with you, it would just make me entangled in worldly things. If you are a good nephew and son-in-law, you are not the best. Let me be a free Taoist official, practice Taoism on weekdays, and visit the countryside for my virtuous nephew and son-in-law when I am quiet and thoughtful."
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he didn't want to persuade him, so he had to say: "Uncle, is there any Taoist temple that you are optimistic about?"
"I was chatting with Gongsun Yiqing and heard him say that there is a village in Yuncheng County called Huandao Village. It is surrounded by high mountains and ridges, with streams at the bottom. There is only one road in the middle. When people come to this village, there is only one road. There is no other road, and no one comes to this village. There is a temple in the forest at the end of the village. I plan to go to this place to live in seclusion and practice Taoism. This place is only an hour away from Zhuangshang, and Liqing stays in Da. It’s convenient for the officials to visit.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhen said: "Uncle, this temple is indeed registered, but it is now dilapidated and there is no Taoist priest to take care of it. It has to be rebuilt before we can live in it."
Chen Xizhen said: "I'm not afraid of that. I also have some family property. Apart from Liqing's dowry, repairing the Xuannv Empress Temple is not a problem."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "How can I get my uncle to pay for it? Except for the family temple and the tomb nunnery, all the temples and temples in the state are owned by the state, and the monks and Taoists in the temples in all the temples also hold the state certificate. Since my uncle is optimistic about this Taoist temple, I will Tao Zongwang will repair it."
"Uncle, I heard that practicing Taoism is not just about seclusion. Senior brothers Gongsun Sheng, Qiao Daoqing, and Fan Rui all have Taoism. Why doesn't uncle join them?" Zhao Zhen asked next.
Chen Xizhen said: "What I practice is not the way of the Quanzhen Alchemy Cauldron, nor the art of talismans. It is not about the ascension of yellow and white. It is mainly about taking Bigu and Xuanmo cultivation. "Tao De Jing", "Shen Tong Qi" , "Yin Fu Jing", "Wu Zhen Pian", "Qing Hua Mi Lu" and the Internal and External Alchemy Sutra, and the secret method of Fu Lu are also involved. Although the exchanges are not hindered, they are not the same way after all. "
"Ancestor Chen Tuan has been practicing Taoism for more than 20 years. He only drinks a few glasses of wine every day. According to the records of his ancestors, when he slept, he could not wake up for more than a hundred days. My Taoism is still far behind, so I chose this place. There are few people to disturb me, and I am never far away from people.”
Chen Liqing said: "Dad, I haven't been there yet, I have to go and have a look."
Liu Huiniang also said: "My sister is right. If it doesn't work, it's better to make plans in advance. Why don't my sister and I go with my uncle?"
Zhao Zhen said: "I have nothing to do, so I'll just go with you."
With that said, Hu Sanniang asked Hu Sanniang to gather the female cavalry, all dressed in military uniforms, and ride to Yuncheng Huandao Village.
For more than half an hour, Zhao Zhen and his party passed through a forest and saw an ancient temple. But see:
The walls are in ruins and the buildings are leaning.
The walls of the two corridors are covered with moss, and the tiles on the floor are covered with green grass.
The kid in front of the door doesn't look ferocious even with his arms folded.
It is not etiquette for a judge in the palace to be without a futou.
For the spiders to build their webs on the bed, and for the ants to nest in the incense burner.
The fox often sleeps in the paper stove, and the bat never leaves the god's tent.
Chen Liqing said in disgust: "Dad, this Xuannv Empress Temple is too shabby."
Chen Xizhen glared at Chen Liqing and scolded: "You are the only one who talks too much."
Zhao Zhen said: "The scenery here is not bad. It will be a good place to go after some repairs. However, this temple is less than two miles away from the village. I'm afraid it won't be very clean in the future."
Chen Xizhen said: "It doesn't matter. This temple must have Tanyue believers. If there is no incense, it is not a temple. It is better to live in a cottage."
After saying that, Chen Xizhen dismounted and stepped forward to open the temple door.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen, Hu Sanniang and others also entered the temple. Under the command of Mrs. Gu and Hua Baoyan, the female cavalry were scattered around the temple.
Zhao Zhen walked into the main hall and saw a Miaomian Empress sitting on a Kowloon chair in the main hall, with two girls in green standing beside her.
After everyone looked around, Liu Huiniang said: "Uncle, the beams and pillars in this temple have been damaged by insects and ants. It is already the end of October. Prepare materials this year so that they can be repaired next year."
Chen Xizhen said: "That's right."
Hu Sanniang looked at Zhao Zhen, who was staring at the statue motionless beside her, and called softly: "Official, official."
Seeing that Zhao Zhen seemed to be crazy, Hu Sanniang stretched out her hand to pull it, but Chen Xizhen shouted in a low voice: "Don't touch it."
After saying that, he quickly stepped forward, waved his hand in front of Zhao Zhen's eyes, then stepped forward to look at it carefully, twitching his nose slightly and said: "Don't worry, your virtuous nephew is invited to be a guest by your empress, and he will wake up later." Come."
Liu Huiniang asked worriedly: "Uncle, how can you tell that it is your empress?"
"When you smell it carefully, can you smell the scent of sandalwood alone?"
Hu Sanniang said: "There is indeed a fragrance."
"This is a sign from the gods. I didn't expect that my virtuous nephew and son-in-law would have such good fortune. If it is an evil ghost or the like, there must be a fishy smell, so there is no need to worry." Chen Xizhen said.
Liu Huiniang and Hu Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. But his eyes were fixed on Zhao Zhen, fearing that something might happen to Zhao Zhen.
But it was said that when Zhao Zhen entered the Xuannv Empress Temple, there was nothing unusual at first. When Zhao Zhen looked at the Xuannv Empress enshrined, he suddenly smelled a smell of sandalwood. In the blink of an eye, he saw two girls in green clothes and snail buns standing in front of him. I saw two people bowing together and bowing their heads.
The Taoist boy on the left said: "Star Master, your Majesty has invited me."
Zhao Zhen seemed to have forgotten where he was and involuntarily followed the two Taoist boys out of the hall. Turning around a corner door of the back hall, I saw the sky full of stars and moon, and the fragrant breeze was blowing.
At that moment, he became alert and realized that his current form was exactly what Gongsun Sheng had told him about the out-of-body experience.
Gather your mind and follow the two boys in green clothes.
Walking through a forest, I could only hear the sound of gurgling water. When Zhao Zhen looked up, he saw a bluestone bridge with vermilion railings on both sides. Strange flowers and plants, green pines and bamboos, green willows and young peaches were planted on the bank. Water like silver and snow rolled under the bridge and flowed from the stone cave. After crossing the stone bridge, I looked up and saw a palace.
Two boys in green clothes led Zhao Zhen into the palace, and they saw the Xuannu Empress, who looked like a clay statue outside, sitting on the Qibao Nine Dragons bed in the middle.
The boy led Zhao Zhen to sit down at a golden pier, and the empress above him said: "Is the Star Master okay?"
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "I don't remember the Star Master at all?"
The empress was not too arrogant for herself, and said: "The Jade Emperor temporarily punished the star master because he has not broken his evil heart and has not completed his Taoism. Now that the star master has gathered most of the stars to punish evil and promote good deeds, he will be able to ascend to the purple again. Mansion, Star Lord should remember this.”
Zhao Zhen took out the Tiangang Disha Order in his hand and asked, "My Lady, now that Dixing Star, Dizhuangxing, and Diweixing have died, is there any hindrance?"
The empress said: "With your order, you can seal other stars. After completing them, it will naturally accumulate merits and virtues. There will be no problem. I have three volumes of heavenly books here. You can take them for detailed reference. The comets outside, Xiu Yuanjun, the congenital mother of electricity, and Qing Dynasty Xurei Mansion’s Xiantian Yushi Neixiang Zhenjun and Axiang Goddess Yuanjun are still waiting for us. Let’s go back after having a drink.”
After that, a boy brought three volumes of heavenly books to Zhao Zhen, who stuffed them into his sleeves. The boy came over with wine and poured it into a jade cup. A leading girl held a jade cup and handed him wine. Zhao Zhen took it and drank it without refusing.
Zhao Zhen only felt that the wine was fragrant and fragrant, like being enlightened and having nectar flowing into his heart. I couldn't help but say: "Good wine!"
Another boy in green clothes came to persuade Zhao Zhen with a plate of dates, about the thickness of his thumb, six inches in size. Zhao Zhen picked up one and put it into his mouth. The jujube was as sweet as honey and full of juice. After eating, only a five-inch long jujube core as thin as a needle remained. Zhao Zhen took a look and realized that this was not an immortal jujube.
Just as he was about to eat again, the girl handed him another glass of wine. Zhao Zhen took it and drank it down in one gulp. Without waiting for the boy to persuade him, Zhao Zhen took a date for himself.
After eating, the girl handed him another wine. Zhao Zhen drank again and was already tipsy.
Looking at the dates on the plate, Zhao Zhen put them into his other sleeve and said: "Mother, I can't bear the power of wine anymore. Please take these dates back and let my wife taste them. If you have any fairy wine, please give it to me." I have a pot.”
"The Star Master is drunk. The boy asked the Star Master to go back. The spiritual energy in this world is weak and the evil spirit has dissipated. After seeing the Star Master, my clone will leave. The Star Master should also ascend as soon as possible to prevent the world from changing. In the future There’s still a day to meet.”
After that, the two boys hugged Zhao Zhen out of the hall and hurried to the stone bridge. Before Zhao Zhen could react, the boy in green pushed down, and Zhao Zhen screamed and woke up in the hall.
When Liu Huiniang and Hu Sanniang saw Zhao Zhen waking up, they quickly stepped forward to ask.
Zhao Zhen told what had just happened, then stretched out his palm, and saw two date stones in his hand.
Chen Xizhen said: "I just dreamed of entering the Immortal Mansion. Do you have any instructions?"
Zhao Zhen said: "What do you mean, I am the reincarnation of the Star Lord. In this life, I must gather the stars and accumulate merit. I will return to the Purple Mansion in the future."
Chen Xizhen said: "A good nephew and son-in-law must not be idle in his previous life. Now that he has been inspired by the empress, he will definitely do great things in the future. Listening to your words, the five people in the palace also have their origins. Hui Niang and Hu Niang are both people in your room. , Li Qing, how about I entrust you with it?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Chen Liqing said: "Dad..."
Chen Xizhen interrupted: "You are born with divine power and courage that no man can match. You have learned all the skills I have in my life, and you have also learned a good bow and arrow yourself. You can pierce through the willows and lice, and you can hit the target with 100% accuracy. There is no chance for you to go into battle. You have committed yourself to Zhao Langjun, training your soldiers like a warrior, and going into battle to fight, and you are not doing what you want."
After hearing this, Chen Liqing blushed but said nothing and looked at Zhao Zhen and Liu Huiniang.
Liu Huiniang said: "I heard what the official said, we dare to be married in the previous life. When the official married Liqing, he also became a close relative."
Hu Sanniang also said: "Sister Liqing's martial arts skills are a bit better than mine. It would be best to have sister Liqing take care of me in the battle formation."
Chen Xizhen continued: "That's right. I can teach you this method of preaching."
