That night, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, two siblings, stayed at home. The Qin Li family had always tidied up their houses, so there was no need to worry about them.
When it was time to have dinner, Xue Qingshan came with a jar of wine and Xue Qinshi.
Also coming to have a meal was Li Erlang.
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's introduction, he learned that Li Erlang was the Yizhou River God, a righteous god who had been canonized by the imperial court and recognized by heaven and earth. Qin Daoren was so frightened that he immediately knelt down to offer incense.
Li Erlang saw this and quickly supported him: "Uncle, you can't help it. Shaoyou and I are considered brothers. You are my elder. How can an elder salute a younger one?"
Not only did he not let Qin Daoren salute, Li Erlang also invited Qin Daoren and Qin Li to sit in the main hall, saluted them as juniors, and expressed his regards.
The old couple were surprised and happy. They did not expect that they would be treated with such courtesy by Zhengshen in their lifetime.
Thinking about it again, the younger son is already a demigod and will be promoted soon, and the younger daughter is also one of the hundreds of red messengers.
Although the two sons-in-law don't have much potential, one is an official of a hundred households in the Demon Suppression Division of a prefecture, and the other has also become a parent official of a county. There is also a grandson who is about to enter the Imperial College and will be admitted to the Jinshi in the future.
To join the cabinet as prime minister...
Alas, the old couple looked at the door lintel and felt that it was shining brightly. They felt happy in their hearts and their faces were glowing red. They looked much younger.
After dinner, the family sat around chatting. Qin Qiaoer picked out some interesting things that could be said during this trip to Qingtang and told them to her mother and sister.
I didn't talk about anything thrilling, for fear that they would worry.
Qin Shaoyou taught them the breathing method, a bowl of hard demon bone soup a day, and several other spiritual dishes with easy-to-find ingredients suitable for Qin Daoren and Xue Qin.
Weng and son-in-law listened very carefully.
After finishing, Qin Shaoyou warned: "My mother and third sister can also practice this breathing method. It doesn't matter what level they can practice, it is also good to strengthen their body."
Qin Daoren and Xue Qingshan agreed with this and nodded: "Don't worry, we will teach and urge them to practice."
Qin Shaoyou said hello, looked at Qin Daoren, and said jokingly: "Dad, you taught me how to practice before, but now I teach you. How do you feel?"
"How does it feel?"
Qin Daoren was drinking the ghost juice happily when he was stunned by Qin Shaoyou's words.
In fact, his injuries have healed now, and the ghost juice has no effect.
But ghost juice, when I first drank it, I thought it didn’t taste very good and smelled rancid. But after I got used to drinking it, I still thought it tasted pretty good. And when I stopped drinking it, I felt itchy again.
miss.
So as soon as Qin Shaoyou came back today, Qin Daoren couldn't wait to ask him to boil a big pot of ghost juice for him, and he warmly invited Li Erlang to drink together.
Li Erlang didn't know what was wrong, so he took a sip and almost vomited out all the dinner. After he regained his composure, the way he looked at Qin Daoren changed, and he took on a bit of fear and admiration.
At this moment, Qin Daoren, who was holding the ghost juice, thought about it for a while, and his face darkened instantly.
He thought of the scene in which he taught Qin Shaoyou martial arts, and once Qin Shaoyou failed to practice well, he would beat him with a stick.
"How do you want me to feel? Do you want to hit me with a stick like I did when I taught you martial arts?"
Xue Qingshan watched the fun with great interest, and even whispered into his wife's ear: "They say that my nephew looks like my uncle. I didn't think so before, but now I see that Xiaobao does look like his uncle... His ability to commit suicide...
It was passed down from his brother-in-law."
Mrs. Xue Qin glared at him and spat: "Xiaobao's good qualities are all passed down from you. These shortcomings will become the fault of our old Qin family? You can save some face, please."
The night passed like this.
Early the next morning, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer said goodbye to their parents, returned to the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division, and called Li Erlang, Zhu Xiucai and others.
Then he said goodbye to Xue Qingshan and Xue Qinshi.
After leaving the city, he met up with Cui Youxuan, Su Tingyu and other Taoist priests from Yuhuangguan, and headed for Mianyuan County together.
Originally, when going from Luocheng to Beijing, they would not go through Mianyuan County, so they took a special detour.
On the one hand, it is to send Li Erlang and Cai Guizhong back to Baiqingjiang and Mianyuan counties.
Although these two people were granted the title of River God and City God in Yizhou by the imperial court, they did not move the Shuifu Mansion and City God Temple directly to the vicinity of Jincheng, but chose to stay in Mianyuan County.
They felt that this place was a blessed place for them. Moreover, by staying in Mianyuan County and within Luocheng City, they could help take care of Qin Shaoyou's family.
On the other hand, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer also wanted to inform An Mutong and Fifth Sister, reminding them to stay vigilant and not to be plotted by the Black Lotus Sect.
Although Xue Qingshan, Li Erlang, Cai Guizhong and others have formulated a complete patrol plan, An Mutong, Fifth Sister, and An Ziling need to remain vigilant themselves.
"this is for you."
After meeting Qin Shaoyou, Su Tingyu took out a mahogany tablet from his arms and handed it to him.
"This is?"
Qin Shaoyou took the mahogany sign and found that it was carved with a statue of a spiritual official wearing a purple gold crown and glaring angrily.
"This is the Lingguan card. Wang Lingguan asked me to bring it to you." Su Tingyu told Qin Shaoyou what happened.
It turned out that just when they were about to set off this morning, when they passed by Lingguan Hall, this sign flew out from the statue of Wang Lingguan and fell into her hands.
"Then how do you know that this brand was given to me by Wang Lingguan?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
Su Tingyu explained: "At first, Senior Brother Cui said that the Lingguan Card was given to him, and then he was burned by the thunder and fire coming out of the Lingguan Card. We asked around using the elimination method, and finally confirmed that this
It was given to you by the spiritual officer."
Qin Shaoyou thought of the spiritual food that Su Tingyu brought to Wang Lingguan yesterday, and thought in his heart: "Is it food money for me? Wang Lingguan is really a very particular person."
He accepted the Lingguan card and asked how to use it and what its uses were. However, Cui Youying and Su Tingyu couldn't explain it, so they could only study and explore on their own.
When they arrived in Mianyuan County, Li Erlang said goodbye first, leaving the river crab that had grown as big as a millstone to continue to follow Qin Shaoyou.
"Brother, I'm going back to my mansion first. During my absence, there are a lot of things in my mansion that I need to deal with... Hey, I think you can't count on me. Xiucai, you should die as soon as possible. I, Shuifu Mansion,
The position of prime minister here is still reserved for you."
In the past, Zhu Xiucai would have probably agreed. But now...
He glanced at Cen Biqing secretly, shook his head and said: "You'd better find someone else. I don't want to die now. I'm still looking forward to getting married and having children. In a few decades, when my family is full of children and grandchildren, I still want to play with them."
Well. If you can wait, please leave your seat for me."
Li Erlang did not expect that Zhu Xiucai would reject him. Zhu Xiucai was very positive when it came to this matter before.
The unhappy Li Erlang finally left.
When he jumped into the river, he left a message to Qin Shaoyou.
"If anything happens in the future, please let He Crab notify me in time."
After seeing off Li Erlang, Qin Shaoyou and the others continued to Mianyuan County.
When they arrived at Mianyuan County, they found a large crowd of people gathered outside the city.
Among the crowd, some sharp-eyed people saw them from a distance and shouted excitedly:
Before Qin Shaoyou and the others could react, these people surged up like a tide, surrounded Qin Shaoyou and the others, and warmly welcomed them back to Mianyuan County.
The enthusiasm of the people came from the bottom of their hearts. Not only did they go towards Qin Shaoyou and the others, but also the God Tai Sui, the Fairy Wu Nu, the Marshal Puppet, and the red-clad envoys under Qin Qiaoer all felt the enthusiasm and love of the people.
This feeling is very novel.
Especially for Tai Sui Shenjun, Wu Nu Fairy and Puppet Marshal.
In the past, they used coaxing and intimidation methods to develop believers in Qingtang, but they had never been welcomed with such heartfelt enthusiasm.
They were at a loss for a while.
But soon, they turned their attention to Qin Shaoyou and Gunshan Jun, who was covered with children.
