    Chapter 244 Heavenly Official Blesses Hundreds of No Taboos

    "congratulations!"

    "His Royal Highness, congratulations!"

    The newly built Bodhisattva Temple was very lively, coming and going, Xie Lian walked through the long tables full of them, and sent bowls of steaming noodles, soup with golden oil, and fragrant white rice. I was so busy that I had to deal with the guests, so I took time out of my busy schedule and said, "Thank you, please take a seat!"

    The Bodhisattva Temple, which unfortunately collapsed in the fight, was rebuilt.

    After the reconstruction, it is much more modest than the original dilapidated house, and there is a newly built yard. It is not thanks to the pity or the reconstruction of Huacheng, but the villagers of Puli Village. After thanking the pity and fleeing that day, they opened the ruins and found a box of gold bars. Naturally, it was the pile that Quan Yizhen stuffed into his merit box every day.

    The villagers had never seen so much gold and were almost terrified. After sobering up, the village chief took part of it and rebuilt the Bodhisattva Temple, and didn't dare to move the remaining one, leaving it to him when Xie Lian came back.

    Therefore, Xie Lian came back with Huacheng and greeted him, in addition to the enthusiastic voices of the villagers "Dao Chang" and "Xiao Hua", there was also a brand-new Taoist temple and a heavy box of gold bars.

    He originally planned to return the gold bar to Quan Yizhen, but Quan Yizhen refused to accept it until Huacheng told him, if you don't take the gold bar back, don't want to know the correct way to raise your soul, this child is honestly blind The problem of giving people gold bars has been corrected.

    After saying hello, several priests headed by Admiration walked into the courtyard with restraint, suddenly raised their heads and saw the whole picture of the Taoist temple, and they were speechless for a moment.

    blind.

    So blind!

    The festive colors of red and green, and the exaggerated colorful clay statues are not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing is that plaque.

    What is written or painted on that plaque?

    The completion of the new concept should be congratulated. But the New View tastes so bad and vulgar everywhere, and there is a plaque that serves as the finishing touch of despair, so much so that they forget all their congratulations.

    However, Xie Lian didn't mind, but felt good, at least it was no longer a dilapidated house that could collapse at any time. He greeted again: "Please sit down?"

    The priests didn't seem to want to sit down, so they came to congratulate them, probably just to go through the scene, put down the gifts in a hurry and left. Xie Lian asked Mu Qing: "Why did they go so quickly?"

    Mu Qing: "Is it still necessary to ask?"

    Xie Lian: "Use it."

    Mu Qing said angrily: "Then go ask your good Saburo."

    It turned out that when Huacheng came back, the first person to know was Xie Lian, and the second one was Shang Tianting, who had not yet warmed up to Xinxianjing. Not only because the Shangyuan Banquet Dou Lantern that they held hard not long ago was the same as the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet Dou Lantern, the Huacheng who was suddenly fired out waved 3,000 lanterns, and there were no slag left, but also because from that night, that mouthful. The bell rang frantically, and the entire upper heaven reverberated with its announcement, as if to remind them: the nightmare of the gods and gods is back!

    The nightmare is right in front of you, and ordinary priests naturally dare not come up. However, now the rumors about Huacheng and Xie Lian in Heavenly Court have reached the point where there is no need to add oil and vinegar. They still want to have a relationship with Xie Lian and ask Huacheng's subordinates to be merciful in the future.

    Xie Lian listened and remembered that Huacheng had asked Heavenly Court to report his great achievements for a whole year, and smiled: "Naughty."

    Admiration said: "This is more than naughty? You let him take it, it's too outrageous, now that clock is noisy every day, and it's completely impossible to work in heaven, and it falls off and smashes people from time to time. It's hard to rebuild. The new Xianjing, don’t abolish it because of this kind of thing.”

    Thanks for the pity: "Okay, I'll talk to him later. By the way, do you want to try it?" He pointed to the rice and noodle soup on the table in the yard, and added, "I didn't make it."

    Mu Qing listened to the cold expression in front, filled with rejection, and returned to normal after listening to the latter sentence. At this time, Fengxin also came. He entered the yard and just passed by a few little priests who were about to leave. They greeted each other and whispered, "It's General Nanyang."

    "It's him. It's so pitiful, my wife and son ran away with someone..."

    The blue veins on Fengxin's forehead burst, and he scolded on the spot: "I'm fucked!!! Are you finished?! How many months have you been pushing this?! Also! It's 'running'! It's not 'with someone' Run away'! Pure fucking rumors!"

    The little priests with broken mouths were so frightened that they quickly fled, and Mu Qing put his sleeves on his hands and said: "It's better not to explain your explanation, it sounds even more humiliating."

    Fengxin was furious, grabbed a broom next to it and threw it over. Mu Qing caught it and said, "Old-fashioned. Now this trick is useless for me."

    When Fengxin was about to scold again, Xie Lian walked over and stuffed him with a broom, saying: "It's useless, then, you two help me sweep this yard together. I just put a few strings of firecrackers on the ground. It's red scum. It's hard work. If you're bored, you can pick up a dragon by the way."

    "???"

    After half an hour, there was a roar of human voices coming from the outside, getting closer and closer.

    A few people in the yard looked out, and after a while, a large group of people poured into the courtyard of the Bodhisattva Temple, shouting, "Is this here?" "There is really rice, a lot of rice!" "And meat!"

    The ground that Fengxin and Mu Qing had just swept were trampled by a large group of mud legs. Mu Qing held the broom, as if she felt that she had been infected with fleas, and her eyes widened: "...What happened to these beggars?"

    The beggars were headed by one person before, with messy hair and dirty clothes, it was Shi Qingxuan. He limped over and cupped his hands: "His Royal Highness, I'm here to disturb you! How about it, why don't you count what you said last time?"

    Thanks for the pity: "Welcome to the extreme, of course count! Please sit, please sit."

    Admiringly said: "This person is too many."

    Shi Qingxuan said: "Not much! The uncles who helped guard the people's formation in the imperial city last year are all here."

    At that time, Shi Qingxuan and others agreed to invite everyone to eat chicken drumsticks, and everyone had a share. As a result, after the event was completed, no one could be found anywhere, so naturally the chicken drumsticks were not eaten. Today, I was finally able to fulfill my contract, and bowls of chicken thigh noodles were brought up. Shi Qingxuan said: "You don't have to worry about it today, let's eat!"

    The crowd of beggars squeezed from the table to the ground, cheering one after another, then picked up the big sea bowl and snorted and babbled. After eating and eating, suddenly one person said: "No, there is an evil spirit!"

    Everyone turned their heads and saw that the circle was actually open eyes and others. Xie Lian felt a headache and said, "Why are you here too?"

    Tianyan said: "We also helped last time, why can't we come?" He raised the bowl high, and said solemnly: "Everyone, listen to me, I am absolutely right! The food in this bowl has an evil spirit. , I'm afraid it's not a good thing, it's very strange! Put it down!"

    No one pays attention to him. After all the beggars had finished their round, they raised their empty bowls one after another: "One more bowl!"

    Fengxin and Mu Qing fought with a broom while sweeping away the red firecracker slag in the yard. Seeing that other people were eating and drinking so fragrant, they also sat down and took up the bowl. It happened that Tianyan said: "Why don't you listen to what people say!" He was about to get up and go to the kitchen to have a look. Shi Qingxuan held him down and said: "Really Taoist, you think too much, here is the It's a place where blood rains and flowers, of course it's normal to have a spirit of evil spirits. It's okay, don't worry about it, right? I'll see it, don't be impulsive when you sit."

    He really got up by himself, walked to the kitchen, raised the curtain and said, "Look, there's nothing weird about it—"

    Thanks for the pity: "Wait a minute, I'll take a look..."

    However, when he, Shi Qingxuan, Fengxin, and Mu Qing looked at them, they were all shocked.

    In the kitchen, a tall and tall pig butcher was frantically chopping and chopping on the cutting board. If it weren't for the pig legs hanging behind him, he would have thought he was chopping people. Next to it, a huge fire was burning under a huge tank. In the tank, a long-necked chicken essence man was taking a bath and rubbing it hot. When he saw someone outside, he immediately screamed and covered his chest with his hands.

    Thanks for the pity, one head and two big ones, and quickly walked in and whispered: "I didn't say it, can't it be like this?"

    The chicken essence patted his chest "oh oh" and assured: "Uncle, we came here after taking a bath. It's very clean! And this soup base has the effect of prolonging life. If you don't drink it, it won't hurt anyone! It's not a loss! Eat it with confidence. !"

    "..."

    Shi Qingxuan put down the curtain silently, while Fengxin and Mu Qing immediately threw the bowl away and sprayed: "Why don't you do it!"

    Xie Lian rubbed his brows, and said in a funny and helpless manner: "They must help, there is no way, they are also kind."

    At this moment, Tianyankai seemed to finally feel that the few people here were very suspicious and came over. Xie Lian quickly stopped him: "What's the matter?"

    He was afraid that if he saw the pig butcher and the others, he would make trouble again. Who knows, Tianyan Kai did not come to the kitchen, but to him. He circled around Xie Lian for a few times, wondering: "Strange..."

    Thanks for the pity: "What's wrong?"

    Tianyan seemed to be puzzled, and said: "No, Xie Daochang, why is your ghost more serious than last time?"

    "..."

    Xie Lian coughed lightly. Mu Qing snorted: "Mixing with the ghost king all day long, of course it is getting more and more serious."

    Tianyan opened his eyes and said, "No. Even so, it shouldn't be like this?"

    Wind channel: "What is this and that?"

    After doubting for a long time, Tianyankai finally said it directly.

    He said: "How did the ghost energy in you become from the inside out? This... This is all emanating from your body."

    "..."

    "I'm afraid you have suffered a great crime. What have you done? Why are you so sick?"

    "..."

    Xie Lian couldn't even cough. His whole face was bloodshot.

    Fengxin and Mu Qing didn't understand it yet, and when they came back, they looked at Xie Lian and fell silent: "..."

    Only Shi Qingxuan couldn't turn his head, and said: "What's wrong? So? What's going on? Your Royal Highness, you are really sick? Do you know the blood and rain? Did he not give you a good opinion?!"

    No no no. It's because of him that this happens!

    Thanks for the pity: "This. Actually. No. You don't... I think, it's better, um..."

    There were some messy pictures in his mind, and he said a bunch of meaningless words in a mess, and suddenly, he leaned against a person's chest behind him. An arm wearing a silver wristband wrapped around him, and a familiar voice said with a smile: "I think it's better for you to go back to your seats, eat your food, and don't care about anything else, how?"

    In this situation, Xie Lian really didn't know whether to be amnesty or even more embarrassed, and said: "Sanlang!"

    As soon as Huacheng came out, Fengxin and admiration expressions were indescribable, but Xie Lian was in front, and they couldn't say anything. Only Shi Qingxuan asked very seriously: "Blood and rain, have you checked the body of His Royal Highness?"

    Xie Lian covered his forehead and hoped that he would not ask again. At this time, the beggars shouted: "One more bowl!" "Add more meat!" "This chicken soup is not tasty, put more salt!"

    Mu Qing couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Do you know that this is a Taoist temple, for priests, can you be a little reserved?"

    The beggars did not know this. Last time, they joined hands with many priests to consolidate the human formation. They saw with their own eyes that some priests shivered and escaped. They were not as good as them, and they knew Shi Qingxuan. When it's time to die, it doesn't seem to be much different from them, and it doesn't seem to be so aloof and inviolable.

    Suddenly, an exclamation came from the kitchen: "Who is it?"

    Hearing the sound, Xie Lian's heart tightened and he rushed into the kitchen, only to see the pig butcher and the chicken essence yelling inside, hurriedly reassuring: "Calm down! Calm down! What's wrong?"

    Chicken Jing was so terrified that goosebumps all over his body: "Uncle! It's haunted! There are ghosts, and I ate all the food and soup we made! I'm just a jerk, and I won't have a bowl if I get up again! It's haunted. now!"

    The pig butcher spat: "What are you afraid of! You are not a ghost yourself!"

    Xie Lian was slightly stunned: "How come? I just saw that you just made more than fifty bowls?"

    "yes!"

    But looking at it again, sure enough, the more than 50 bowls were empty, and even the soup was completely drained!

    Xie Lian felt strange in his heart, suddenly thought of one person, turned around and saw Huacheng leaning against the door, and said, "Sanlang, could it be?"

    Huacheng whispered: "Nine out of ten."

    "Well..." Xie Lian said, "He should have come to congratulate him. He should be welcome, but he just ate a lot... Now that he has eaten all the food, what should I do?"

    Huacheng smiled and said: "Nothing to do. Add interest."

    The troubled ghosts in the ghost market resigned and started cooking again. At this time, there was a commotion in the hall and the yard. It seemed that someone was arguing with whom. Xie Lian was about to go out to mediate, but Huacheng grabbed his hand and took him away from the door on the other side.

    The two walked out of the Bodhisattva Temple holding hands. There are trees blocking the road on the road. It would be easier to walk if you put down your hands and walk separately, but neither of them wanted to let go of holding each other's hands, so they turned around and around. While walking around and thanking him, he said, "Sanlang, where are we going now?"

    Huacheng Road: "It's too noisy here, let them play, let's go first."

    Xie Lian looked back as he walked, and was a little worried: "Don't care about them? The Bodhisattva Temple was only rebuilt. What if it was knocked down again?"

    Huacheng doesn't care about the tunnel: "If it collapses, it will collapse, and just build another one. If my brother wants it, there will be as many as you want."

    "Hahahahahaha..."

    At night, in the Qiandeng Temple, Xie Lian, who had bathed, was wearing a thin snow-white tunic, leaning on the jade platform with a sloping edge, and writing stroke by stroke.

    He is writing a copybook to Huachenglin. Huacheng reclined beside him, wearing only a middle shirt, with a slightly open collar, and playing with the red coral bead at the end of his hair boredly in his hands.

    Under the warm and jade-like light, he kept staring at Xie Lian, and after watching it for a while, he narrowed his eyes as if he was satisfied, and sighed: "Brother, don't mess with that, come and rest."

    Xie Lian had already suffered enough, and he was determined not to be fooled again. This tone made his ears burn, he forced himself to calm down, continued to write, and said solemnly: "No. Saburo, today someone said that your words are ugly, you Practice well, otherwise, I won't let people know that you are taught by me."

    Huacheng sat up slightly and raised his eyebrows: "Brother, I remember, you clearly said that you liked my words before."

    Since Huacheng came back, for a long time, Xie Lian almost obeyed him and responded to every request. Probably because of this, he finally spoiled him, and there were more and more bad intentions. Xie pity finished writing, put down the pen, and became more serious: "Don't play bad words. I've written it, come and practice."

    So, Huacheng lazily rubbed behind Xie Lian, hugged his waist, bent slightly, and put his head on his shoulder. He took his red coral bead off the end of his hair, put it on the paper, and let it chase with the bead of Xie Lian on the paper, rolling around, deliberately not letting Xie Lian write it well.

    He is so naughty and strong to show his sense of existence, Xie Lian remembered that the eyes of the sky said that his whole person exudes ghosts "all over the body, from the inside to the outside", which is the breath of Huacheng, can't help but feel a little soft, After earning lightly twice, he whispered, "...Write well."

    Huacheng Road: "Okay, listen to my brother."

    He picked up the pen, wrote two lines of poetry, and then put it down. Xie Lian looked at it, shook his head, and said countless times in his heart: "There is no help." After a pause, he also picked up a pen and helped him make up the last two sentences.

    After writing, Xie Lian blew lightly, picked up the paper, and the two of them looked at the co-written poem together.

    The ink on the paper is completed in four poems with a style of heaven and earth:

    once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.

    Take a lazy review of the second flower bush, half of the cultivator and half of the monarch.

    Even Eoming was at the table, his eyes wide open and his eyes fixed, as if he was appreciative. Huacheng smiled and said: "Peerless work. Brother, come and sign a name. This word will surely amaze future generations, and it will be passed down through the ages."

    Xie Lian has already written the name of Huacheng below. Hearing him say this, I really can't add my own name. Huacheng laughed enough, pretending to be serious: "Brother, are you embarrassed? I will help you."

    As he spoke, he held Xie Lian's hand and wrote a few words. Of course, if you don't talk about the prospects, no one can see that this is two words, and it is impossible to see that it is the name of Xie Lian...

    Xie pity watched his subordinates write this kind of thing, it was ridiculous, and tilted his head in front of Huacheng's chest. Suddenly, he felt that these words were a bit familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

    After a while, he remembered, his eyes lit up, and said, "Sanlang, you have it!"

    He grabbed Huacheng's forearm, pulled up his sleeve, and said with joy: "This is it!"

    During the days when the two lived together in the Bodhisattva Temple, one day, Xie Lian saw a text tattoo on his hand, which seemed to be an alien script. At that time, he still thought about it in his heart, but he never imagined that it was not an "alien language" at all. It turned out that it was just his name!

    Huacheng also looked at his arm and smiled: "My brother finally recognized it?"

    Thanks for the pity: "I should have recognized it long ago, but..."

    It's just that the words of Huacheng are really amazing. Needless to say, Huacheng also guessed what he was thinking, haha ​​laughed, took the waist of Xie Lian with one hand, kissed his forehead, and said: "It doesn't matter, brother's words are good-looking, I will be more happy than mine. 10,000 times.

    Xie Lian's hand stroked the tattoo there. The tattoo is very deep, and you can imagine how painful it will be. He whispered: "Is this what you stabbed when you were a child?"

    Huacheng smiled slightly, pulled down his sleeves, and nodded.

    That must have been stabbed by him himself. Imagining a little boy surreptitiously engraving the name of someone he admires on his arm, so naive and so brave.

    Fingers clasped together, red thread intertwined. In front of Xie Lian, the scene of Huacheng dispersing in Tonglu Mountain a year ago suddenly appeared.

    At the last moment, Huacheng said a word.

    Although it was silent, Xie Lian knew exactly what he said.

    That is a sentence that Huacheng has been implementing since he was a child and has been implementing it until his death.

    "I will always be your most loyal believer."

    ———————————————《Folk Customs》——————————————————

    According to folklore, there is such a broken fairy.

    Although he is called a tattered fairy, what this fairy most often blesses is not the collection of tatters, but the peace of the world. Because he is also the strongest martial god.

    There is no demon that cannot be broken, and there is no evil that cannot be cut. Sitting on the power of destroying the world, without losing the heart of flowers,

    However, there are taboos and particulars about worshipping God. If you come across a temple dedicated to this immortal, you must not worship at will.

    It is said that this tattered fairy has a special physique that will bring bad luck. If you don't believe me, prepare a dice, first touch the hand of the immortal god statue, and then throw a handful, you will definitely have bad luck.

    Therefore, praying to a gray and white god statue of a tattered fairy may lead to more and more unlucky worship, and even if you drink cold water, you will be stuck in your teeth, and you will be damned when you wear Taoist robes.

    There is also a folk legend that there is such a red-clothed ghost king.

    Although this ghost king is already inhuman, he has countless huge followers, and there are often people who secretly set up a ghost king statue at home and worship it day and night to pray for good luck.

    Because, this ghost king is not only invincible, it is said that he has never lost a single one, and his fortune is extremely strong and invincible.

    If you don't believe me, worship him before rolling the dice. If you can get help, the next one must be good.

    However, ghosts are not like gods, so there are naturally more taboos. Although this ghost king is highly skilled, his temperament is extremely strange and extreme.

    If he is happy, he will help you without worshiping him; if he is unhappy, he will disdain you for a lot of money; and if he is very unhappy, he may kill you with a backhand.

    So, by the same token, it is better to stay away from it.

    However, if people enshrine the two statues of this god and one ghost together, it will turn corruption into magic.

    That red-clothed ghost king will dispel the bad luck that entangled the tattered immortal, and let him show his true face.

    People will be surprised to find that the original color of the tattered fairy is not gray, but golden.

    Legends generally have their basis. But this is probably a very long story, maybe it needs to be told from 800 years ago, maybe it will be told for a long, long time. People don't necessarily have the patience to listen.

    But what is certain is that if you want these two to exert their strongest power, they must be enshrined together.

    In this way, you can get double luck and double invincibility.

    Heavenly officials bless, there are no taboos!

    The author has something to say: I'm too tired, I'll post a postscript tomorrow, take a few days off, and then continue with more sugar.
