In fact, as soon as Jiayin and the others entered the city, they were stared at by the beggars. It should be said that while they were still outside the city, a young beggar guarding the city gate saw them from a distance and came back to report the news.

That's why I saw so many beggars as soon as I entered the city.

You must know that in Wuling City, unless the rich kids go out, they will only give some money to beggars when they are in a good mood.

Usually no one pays attention to these beggars, and except for the wealthy households in the city, their main source of income is these outsiders.

It can be said that the bulk of the problem lies with these foreign guests.

Many people pass here on their way to Hainan counties and cities, and some come here to admire the Tianzun Temple.

If you are new here, you definitely want to get some information. Where can you find the best place to do so?

Besides going to restaurants and teahouses to ask waiters, of course it is most convenient to inquire inside the mouths of these beggars.

As long as you give a small amount of money, you can get the information you want, and it will be very comprehensive.

But there are too many beggars in Wuling City, and they have to compete for this job, so every time there are visitors from outside, these beggars will mobilize and surround them not far from the city gate.

Normally, there wouldn't be so many beggars when you first enter the city gate.

All because of the little beggar's report, all the beggars who were originally scattered elsewhere ran over and waited here.

These beggars would not crowd around unreasonably, after all, that would be annoying. They are all veterans who have been beggars for many years. They have experience and know how to arouse the sympathy of others or leave a good impression on others.

It's a good thing that Jiayin didn't detect his spiritual consciousness inside the city before entering the city, otherwise he might have thought they had some conspiracy.

Jiayin thought that he was going to Wuling City soon and there was no need to use his spiritual consciousness to look at it first, otherwise there would be no sense of novelty, so he did not notice the little actions of these beggars.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if you discover it, these small actions are harmless.

Just like those beggars thought, because there are so many beggars here, and they don't look like the kind of beggars who come up and hug people's legs to beg, which is so annoying.

Jiayin and his party decided to ask these beggars for information about Wuling City and Wuling Mountain.

Because they had to check when entering the city gate, Jiayin and the others got out of the car. At this time, everyone except Pangpang was walking.

Jiayin and others walked up to an older beggar. Fang Zhiwen stepped forward and threw a few coins into his bowl and asked: "Uncle, what are the characteristics of Wuling City?

Also, we are going to Wuling Mountain. I heard that there is a Tianzun Temple there, and we want to go visit it. Are there any rules there? Or can we go at any time?"

The reason why I ask this is because although there are pilgrims to ordinary temples, most of them only go there on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, when there are rituals or vegetarian dishes.

For example, the Dragon Temple in Fangjia Village did not provide vegetarian meals at first. If you lived in a wing, you would bring your own maid to cook them, and you could buy vegetables and grain from the village.

Later, more and more people lived in the temple, and the people brought out by Xu Hong became better and better at their craftsmanship.

A few people who were unwilling to leave the village were specially left to cook some vegetarian dishes in the temple, which were provided on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Because of the delicious taste and the magical powers of the Dragon God, it is a must-have meal every time.

…

The elderly beggar also took away the copper plate and said to them with a smile: "Are you going to Tianzun Temple? Tianzun Temple is not open to the public. Except for the disciples in the temple, outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Because the Taoist priests in Tianzun Temple are all devoted to cultivation and will not receive outsiders.

If you want to ask the Taoist priest to resolve the disaster, you can go to Wuling Inn to find Shopkeeper Yang. He can convey the message on your behalf. You will have news in a few days.

If you just go there for fun, the Four Seasons Valley below Tianzun Temple can be entered and exited at will, and anyone can go there.

But the Four Seasons Valley is very big, so if you go there, you must bring dry food and be prepared to sleep in the wild."

After hearing the good news, several people found out that Tianzun Temple is not open to the public, and not everyone can enter.

It seems that Wulingshan Tianzun Temple is really a Taoist temple that devotes itself to spiritual practice. It is not the kind of Taoist temple that fishes for fame and relies on the incense money of believers to support its expenses.

What everyone doesn't know is that although Wuling Mountain Tianzun Temple will send apprentices down the mountain from time to time to help people eliminate disasters, it is not for the purpose of making money.

Although they will also receive some money from the other party, it is only used for their own living expenses, and the main thing is the merit earned.

And these merits obtained in the name of Tianzun Temple will be recorded on the statue of Tianzun Taoist.

Tianzun Temple is very wealthy. Before Tianzun Taoist, Dragon King Ao Zhan left this world, he left a lot of property for Tianzun Temple.

After all, those worldly possessions are of no use to the Dragon God.

Those golden golds are just for fun. There are no real treasures in this world.

So before Ao Zhan left, he scattered his belongings in various darkrooms in Tianzun Temple.

They were all darkrooms that were made when Tianzun Temple was built. Except for Ao Zhan, only the previous Tianzun Temple owners knew about them.

The other disciples, disciples, and grandsons only know that when Tian Zun Guan lives, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and they are not open to the outside world to collect people's incense money.

Even if you go down the mountain to help someone solve their misfortune, you won't negotiate the price with them and just leave after you have done a good deed. If the other party insists on thanking you, they will accept it. There is no hard requirement to give.

However, I don’t know when or who made the news, that is, Tianzun Temple is only for wealthy businessmen and dignitaries to eliminate disasters and bring good luck.

In fact, it was not the case. It was just that because he was named the national teacher and the national religion, his status was virtually improved a lot. Some ordinary people simply did not dare to invite Taoist priests from Tianzun Temple.

Another Tianzun Temple is sealed and no one is allowed to enter. In the hearts of ordinary people, it is a sign of superiority. When meeting the Taoist priests of Tianzun Temple outside, they are all respectful and do not dare to make mistakes.

In this way, this rumor was finally confirmed.

Of course, if they are encountered by the Taoist priests of Tianzun Temple, those ordinary people who really have no choice but to treat themselves as dead horses and seek help from Tianzun Temple will be helped by the Taoist priests.

But there were only a very small number of them, so it didn’t spread.

After listening carefully to the news the old beggar gave them, Fang Zhiwen put another tael of broken silver into the old beggar's bowl. After thanking the old beggar, the group walked forward.

As soon as they walked away, the beggars immediately gathered around and said, "Uncle Yang is still awesome. These people from out of town really like to ask older people about things.

How about we dress up a little more old-fashioned in the future, and if someone will choose us, let’s ask.”

The old beggar known as Uncle Yang rolled his eyes at him, "No matter how old-fashioned you dress, how can you have the wrinkles on my face? This is all the accumulation of time."

The people next to me all rolled their eyes and started talking again...

Speaking of which, this old beggar named Yang is really a scholar.

It's just because I have no talent, and after decades of studying, I didn't even pass the exam.

Later, his parents passed away, and his brothers and sisters no longer wanted to support him in his education. He had no skills, and eventually became a beggar.

In fact, it cannot be said that he does not have any skills. At least he is literate and can definitely work as a bookkeeper or clerk.

It's just that he is used to stretching his hands when wearing clothes and mouthing when eating, and he can't adapt to working under other people's hands and being angry.

Coupled with the atmosphere in Wuling City, he became a beggar. The old beggar surnamed Yang can be said to be the leader of this group of beggars.

Because of the old beggar's age and the temperament of a scholar, he looked very kind-hearted. People from other places would naturally come to him if they wanted to inquire about something.

At first, some beggars were jealous of him and robbed him of his silver. Later, a few strong men couldn't stand it and helped the old beggar named Yang, and they came together.

After that, there were more and more people in this group, and gradually the more domineering beggars were dealt with several times by them and became more honest.

Because the old beggar could read and make money, everyone regarded the old beggar as his leader.

Of course, the old beggar didn't accept his younger brother for free. Every time he got some silver, he would buy food for everyone to eat together or give some to everyone.

Anyway, he is not going home now, he is alone.

His brothers at home looked down on him because he was a beggar, so he simply moved out.

I bought a small courtyard with the money I earned from being a beggar, and took in some beggars who were also unable to be accommodated by my family. They lived together and lived a pleasant life.

…

Here, Jiayin and his party went directly to the street with the most shops, and wanted to buy a lot of things this time.

They were not going to dine in a restaurant, but were going to buy some meat, vegetables and dry food to cook themselves.

To be honest, they would be reluctant to spend so much money to eat at the best restaurant in Wuling City if there was no one else to treat them.

And I don’t know if the taste is very good. At least after traveling to so many cities, except for the best restaurants in Juncheng and Banshan City, the food is pretty good.

Later, they also visited the city once and found that it was not delicious at all, and it was far worse than what they made themselves.

After that, I never went to a big restaurant again. The silver spent at a big restaurant can be used to buy a lot of food.

After I finished buying vegetables and pork and came out, I was about to buy some seasonings, when I noticed that there was a noisy group of people in front of me, who didn't know what they were doing.

They stepped forward curiously and found that someone was selling their bodies to bury their father!

Jiayin's eyes lit up! She sold her body to bury her father! Isn't this a plot in a storybook? She has never seen it before.

Generally speaking, most people who sell themselves go to other people. Even if no one buys them for a while, the people will give some money first to help bury the person first. It is rare for people to sell themselves on the street.

of.

There was also the corpse next to it. Jiayin glanced at it and saw that it was indeed a corpse. There were corpse spots on it, indicating that it had been dead for a while.

If it is not laid to rest, there may be a smell coming out.

I took a look at the woman who sold herself. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her face was a bit dark, but her facial features were fairly straight, especially her eyes, which were watery and looked very energetic, as if she had an idea.

The people around were gathered here to watch the fun, but no one actually bought it.

There is no such thing as the legendary story of being spotted by a dandy and forcibly bought. Of course, there is no scene of a hero saving a beauty.

These are all things Jiayin has seen in the book. Is it because this little prostitute is not pretty enough that she did not attract the dandy and the hero?

At this time, I heard Fang Zhigang next to me whisper: "I can't blame these people for not wanting to buy it. The price this little girl set is too expensive. The money to buy her is enough to buy several cows."
