Chapter 410: Marriage discussion 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 he killed Song Jiang in the first battle with a chain of armor and horses. There are no less than 3,000 thieves in Qingzhou. I heard from brother Tang Long that the horse hook and sickle spear is the best to break the armor. I wonder if the teacher would like to train a battalion of hook and sickle spear sergeants to prepare for the battle formation? "
Today's Tang Long has informed Xu Ning of the current troops in Liangshan Prefecture. When Xu Ning comes here, he is ready to go to other camps to be a guard.
It is entirely 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 cannot lead the army to fight, so he 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, It would be a good idea to let Brother Tang Long take over this battalion of hook-and-scythe gunners. What do you think?”
Tang Long said happily: "This is the best, thank you, the official, for your concern."
Xu Ning also thanked him repeatedly and said, "My official, this is the best arrangement."
As he said this, , pulled out Xu Sheng behind him 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: "It's good. Although there is no fixed teaching in the village, brothers such as Xuexue, Zhu Wu, Xiao Rang, etc. take turns to teach here. My wife, Cheng Wan'er and Liu Huiniang, are the most learned, and they are also the most knowledgeable. I often teach these children that there is nothing wrong with literacy and arithmetic. 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 the hook-and-scythe gunmen of this camp [Golden Gun Capital]?"
Tang Long said: "Very good, it fits my brother's nickname of [Golden Gunsman]."
Seeing that Xu Ning had no objection, Zhao Zhen asked: "Teacher, what are the requirements of the soldiers of your battalion?"
Xu Ning heard this and said: "If a high-ranking official only uses it for ordinary purposes, Don't pick people. If you want to break the chain armor horse, you should choose a strong man with a scratching hook. But when the horse comes, he will grab the hook and catch it. "
< br>"When my brother came to our house, he only learned the art of foot combat, and he never learned the art of breaking a chain of 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. The sergeants of the [Golden Spear Battalion] are to be selected, and they will join me in training 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, the teacher doesn'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.
The next day, 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, you have taken a trip to the state. Do you have any ideas?"
Chen Xizhen said: "Xianxiang son-in-law, although there is a lot of chaos in the state, the officials are all busy." Since I started practicing Taoism, I have been indifferent to official affairs and would have resigned from many jobs in Bianjing Nanying. If it hadn't been for this evil, I would have caused trouble at the temple and wanted to marry him. I'm going home, but I want to live my whole life in Bianjing."
"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 ask for one. The temple on the mountain, practicing Taoism."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen quickly advised: "Uncle, sister Liqing is still young, how can you leave her to have a family? "
After hearing this, Chen Liqing said: "Dad, why do you want to 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?"
As he said that, he said to Zhao Zhen: "I am now in the age of knowing my destiny, and I don't care about fame and wealth. If it's with you. Being an official here is just a way for me to be entangled in worldly things. If my virtuous nephew-in-law is interested, why not let me be a Taoist official who can practice Taoism in peace and quiet while visiting the countryside for my virtuous nephew-in-law."< br>
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen did not want to persuade him deeply, 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. It's called Huandao Village. It's surrounded by high mountains, with streams at the bottom, and only one road in the middle. People come to this village through only one road, and there is no second road. No one comes to this village at all times. There is a temple of the Xuannv Empress in the forest at the head of the village. I plan to go there to live in seclusion and practice Taoism. It is only an hour away from the village, and it is convenient for Liqing to stay in the village."
The words just came out. After falling, 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."
< br>
Chen Xizhen said: "I'm not afraid of this. 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 ask my uncle to pay for it? Except for the family temple and the tomb nunnery, all the temples and temples in Zhouli are owned by the state, and the monks and Taoists in all the temples also hold the certificate of the state. Since my uncle is optimistic about this Taoist temple, I asked Tao Zongwang to 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 then asked.
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 Te Ching" , "Shen Tongqi", "Yin Fu Jing", "Wuzhen Pian", "Qing Hua Mi Lu" and the inner and outer alchemy scriptures, and the secret method of Fu Lu are also involved. Although the exchanges are not hindered, they are not the same way after all. "< br>
"My ancestor Chen Tuan has been practicing Daoism for more than 20 years, and he only drinks a few glasses of wine every day. According to the ancestor's records, when the ancestor slept, he could not wake up for more than a hundred days. My Taoism is still far behind, so I choose This place is rarely disturbed by people, but it is never far away from people. ”
Chen Liqing said: "Dad, I haven't been there yet, so I have to go and have a look."
Liu Huiniang also said: "My sister is right, if it doesn't work, you should make plans in advance. Not as good as me I'll go with my sister and my uncle."
Zhao Zhen said, "I have nothing to do, so I'll just go with you."
As he said that, he asked Hu Sanniang to gather the female cavalry, all dressed in military uniforms, on horseback. Rush to Yuncheng to return to Dao 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.
Moss grows on the walls of the two corridors, and green grass grows on the tiles on the floor.
The little devil in front of the door, even with his arms folded, does not look ferocious.
It is not a courtesy for the judge in the palace to be without a futou.
On the bed the spiders build their webs, and in the incense burner the ants build their nests.
The fox often sleeps in the paper stove, and the bat never leaves the god's tent.
Chen Liqing said with disdain: "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."< br>
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 am afraid it will not 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 clothes standing beside her.
Everyone looked around and 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 softly called: "Official, official."
Seeing that Zhao Zhen seemed to be crazy, Hu Sanniang reached out to pull it, only to hear Chen Xizhen whisper. He shouted: "Don't touch."
As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward, waved his hand in front of Zhao Zhen's eyes, then stepped forward to look at it carefully, twitched his nose slightly and said, "Don't worry, virtuous nephew-in-law." He was invited as a guest by the empress, and he will naturally wake up later." Liu Huiniang asked worriedly: "Uncle, how can you tell that it is the empress?"
"You can hear it carefully. Is there just the scent of sandalwood? ”
Hu Sanniang said: "There is indeed a smell."
"This is a form of divine descent. I don't expect that my virtuous nephew and son-in-law are so blessed. If it is an evil ghost or the like, there must be a fishy smell, so there is no need to Worried." 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 is 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 me. I saw two people bowing together and bowing their heads.
The Taoist boy on the left said: "Star Master, your Majesty invites you."
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.
I was immediately alert and realized that my current form was exactly the out-of-body experience Gongsun Sheng had told me about.
Concentrate 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 Queen Xuannu who looked like the 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 lady 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 concerned about herself, and said: "The Jade Emperor has temporarily punished the star master because he has not broken his evil heart and has not completed his conduct. Now the star master has gathered most of the stars to punish evil and promote good deeds. If you are perfect, you will be able to return to the Purple Mansion. The Star Master should remember this."
Zhao Zhen took out the Tiangang Disha Order in his hand and asked: "My Lady, now the Dixing Star, the Dizhuang Star, and the Diweixing. If you are dead, it will be a hindrance. "
The empress said: "You can seal the stars by holding the order. After completing it, it will be no problem if you accumulate merits and virtues. . Outside, Huixing, the Innate Lightning Mother, Xiu Yuanjun, the Innate Rain Master of the Qingxu Lei Mansion, and the Axiang Goddess Yuanjun are still waiting for you. 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 felt that the wine was fragrant and fragrant, like an enlightenment and nectar flowing into his heart. He couldn't help but say: "Good wine!"
Another boy in Tsing Yi 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 it again and was already tipsy.
Looking at the dates on the plate, Zhao Zhen put them into his other sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, I can't bear the power of wine anymore. Let me 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 avatar will leave. We should ascend as soon as possible to prevent the world from changing, so that we can meet again in the future."
After that, the two boys hugged Zhao Zhen out of the palace and hurried to the stone bridge without waiting for Zhao Zhen. In response, the boy in green pushed down, Zhao Zhen yelled and woke up in the main hall.
Liu Huiniang and Hu Sanniang saw Zhao Zhen waking up and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Zhao Zhen told what had just happened and stretched out his palm again, only to see 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 stars and accumulate merit, and I will return to the Purple Mansion in the future. "
Chen Xizhen said: "The good nephew and son-in-law must not have been idle in their previous lives. Now that they have been inspired by the empress, they will definitely do great things in the future. From what you say, the five people in the palace also have their own backgrounds, Hui. Mother and Madam Hu are both in your room, how about I entrust you with Li Qing?”
Everyone was surprised 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. It is not 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, it was also a close relationship."
Hu Sanniang also said: "Liqing My sister’s martial arts skills are a bit better than mine. It’s best to have sister Liqing take care of me in the battle.”
Chen Xizhen continued: “That’s right. I have the right skills to teach. I can teach it to you too.”
