Chapter 10 Bonus Gifts for Honoring High Meritors
Tian Guofu was confused, the gentry in Qingping Town were confused, and the county government officials were also confused!
Zhang Qingyun knelt heavily on the ground and said loudly: "The demons in Qingshan County are rampant, harming innocent creatures, controlling the wind and waves, and threatening the people of the county to sacrifice boys and girls to him every year. Such acts are outraged by everyone. !"
"As the magistrate of Qingshan County, Qingyun Tian will never allow the demon to continue to run rampant, but he has no power to restrain the chicken. Although he wants to eliminate the demon, he can't do anything."
"I heard that the Taoist priest is unable to do anything. He has extraordinary Taoist teachings, possesses great magical power, and has great compassion, so he came here specifically to invite the Taoist Master to come out of the mountain.”
"I just ask the Taoist Master to exterminate the innocent people of Qingshan County and get rid of the monster."
"If the Taoist Master can get rid of the monster, no matter what the request, Qingyun is willing to do his best."
>"And Qingyun is willing to bring all the gentry and common people in the county to convert to Penglai and pray for the statue of the Taoist priest!"
Zhang Qingyun finished speaking loudly and bowed deeply.
Tian Guofu quickly signaled to the people around him and knelt down together.
A large number of people knelt in front of the quiet Taoist temple in the mountains.
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Qingyun felt that his knees were numb.
In the past, the old immortals in the family did not have such a grand display, but now Jiang Sheng actually tolerated it.
Finally, when Zhang Qingyun felt that he had been teased and was about to get up, he heard another voice coming from the Taoist temple.
“That’s it, come in.”
Heaving a long sigh of relief, Zhang Qingyun quickly got up, tidied up and entered the Taoist temple with his attendants.
The Taoist temple is not large in area, but it is very harmonious. It has a vague feeling of natural world, as if everything here coincides with a certain charm.
The more I look at it, the more extraordinary it becomes.
When they arrived at the front hall, Zhang Qingyun saw a portrait of an immortal hanging high in the hall, and under the portrait a green-robed Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged on a futon, with his back to them.
Zhang Qingyun first offered incense and worshiped the portrait, and then saluted Jiang Sheng: "Zhang Qingyun has met Taoist Jiang, so I am polite."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Jiang Sheng's voice was calm and natural.
Zhang Qingyun explained his purpose of coming again, and then asked Jiang Sheng to come out again.
Jiang Sheng said: "Pindao is repairing in the mountains, and the river god in the Taiping River does not come to provoke Pindao, why would Pindao take action?"
Zhang Qingyun was stunned, He made another promise: "If the Taoist agrees, Qingyun is willing to write to the court and turn the entire Qingping Mountain into the Taoist's dojo."
"Everything in the mountain should belong to the Taoist, that is Qingping." The town can be turned into a place of worship for the Taoist priest!”
Hearing Magistrate Zhang's generous promise, the rich people in Tian Guo were stunned. What does this have to do with Qingping Town?
Why should we give them an extra god?
But there was no place for Tian Guofu to speak, so he had to bow his head silently.
After hearing this, Jiang Sheng glanced at Tian Guofu, his expression still indifferent: "What's the use of a poor Taoist asking for a town's offerings? The poor Taoist doesn't lack these."
Zhang Qingyun was stunned. Now, I don’t know how to make a promise.
Jiang Sheng suddenly smiled and said: "The county minister is sincere this time."
"Well, I will accept the red fruit gift for the time being."
"If the county minister can still do it, Inviting some monks to help, it is not impossible for the poor Taoist to take action."
"No matter what the outcome is, Qingping Mountain is the dojo of the poor Taoist, and no one is allowed to set foot there without the poor Taoist."
< br>"And it is Pindao who decides when to take action." "In this case, can the county minister respond?"
Zhang Qingyun gritted his teeth and agreed: "Anyone who listens to the Taoist priest is welcome!"
Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "So, the county magistrate is also satisfied? Can you go back to the county government office? ?”
Zhang Qingyun originally wanted to invite Jiang Sheng to sit in the county seat, but now he was speechless and could only leave silently.
He returned to Qingshan County in a state of embarrassment. After Zhang Qingyun told his daughter what had happened, he was very depressed.
"I never thought that because my father didn't invite me, I would lose the face of the county in front of so many people."
Zhang Qing casually picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, but said with a smile: " It’s not easy to have such a result.”
“I heard that Director Jiang is a master of Penglai, so it’s not surprising that he has such a temper.”
“And it’s not like Director Jiang has already agreed. Let’s take action. Then we’ll just ask some monks to help.”
Zhang Qingyun nodded: “That’s all we can do now.”
Zhang Qing added: "If we really want to get rid of the demons in the Taiping River, it is not enough to rely solely on Daoist Jiang."
"In the huge Dongjun, there are countless casual cultivators, and outside Dongjun , there are several sects in Qingzhou, all of which have high-level masters. If you can invite one, you can be more sure."
After hearing this, Zhang Qingyun nodded silently: "Qing'er's words make sense. , as a father, I don’t expect that Taoist priest Jiang can kill the river god on his own.”
Zhang Qing said with a smile: “My daughter’s handkerchief is now an inner disciple of Qingzhou Lanyue Sect, so she can be invited. She went down to help, and I think she is more reliable than Taoist priest Jiang."
Zhang Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, then I will make preparations and invite more monks from all over Qingzhou. .”
At this time in Qingping Mountain, Tian Guofu also boldly asked: "Chief Jiang, didn't you say..."
Jiang Sheng glanced at Tian Guofu with a lazy expression: "Mayor Tian is "I don't mean to say, Pindao, what does the safety of Qingping Town have to do with Pindao?"
Tian Guofu smiled and nodded.
Jiang Sheng shook his head, his expression still calm: "The safety of Qingping Town does have nothing to do with Pindao. But Pindao discovered that the Taiping River is too close to Qingping Mountain."
" It’s so close that if I were Pindao, I could kill him and back in a few hours.”
As he said that, Jiang Sheng's originally calm and watery aura became more solemn: "It's true that I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but I won't condone a demon spying on the side of my bed!"
"If that county magistrate can really find more monks to help, Pindao is still willing to get rid of this scourge so close at hand."
Tian Guofu then understood that from beginning to end, Jiang Sheng had no intention of doing anything. He didn't think about the life and death of the people in Qingping Town. He was overthinking everything.
Jiang Sheng glanced at Tian Guofu again: "Mayor Tian, I am not afraid to tell you."
"If your county magistrate Zhang invites a bunch of qi-training monks, The matter of subduing and slaying demons will be abandoned immediately. Pindao will not return the red fruit gift, but will just sit back and watch your magistrate Zhang and those Qi-training monks give blood food to the demons.”
Tian Guofu nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."
Then Jiang Sheng waved his hand, and Tian Guofu left very discerningly. He knew that Jiang Sheng was chasing away guests.
After Tian Guofu left, Jiang Sheng suddenly sighed, held his right hand empty, and the sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The sword is three feet six inches long, completely black and covered with green lotus. It is an excellent magical weapon.
Putting the sword across his knees, Jiang Sheng straightened his back and gently wiped the magic weapon that accompanied him down the mountain to slay demons: "A demon in the Purple Mansion Realm, I really want to try it."
