That was the sad place for Fang Xiaoyue, but in Fang Xiaoyue's view, it was the place of his foundation.
The reason is very simple. In the ancient Qi Refiner system he created, Morning Tunxia and Mu Tunyun are not just for fun.
The better the scenery and landscape, the more beneficial it is for the ancient Qi alchemists to practice!
Looking at the entire Donglin County, the place where the Taoist temple was built before Fang Town can be regarded as the most outstanding place.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has already checked it through Cui Zhixian.
That piece of land is still in the hands of the local Mr. Yang of Jiabao.
Since the land was sold very cheaply at that time, and the land had been completely destroyed during the construction of the Taoist temple, Mr. Yang only bought the land with the intention of transferring it to farmers and earning rent.
But it would take a lot of investment to restore land like that to farmland.
Master Yang was unwilling to invest the money, and the tenants were even less willing.
Thinking about it, it’s not your own land, so you still invested so much, isn’t it stupid?
Mr. Yang, on the other hand, thought that this land was cheap, so he just let it go, and someone would eventually take it over.
For this reason, Fang Xiaoyue specially borrowed one hundred taels of silver from her brother-in-law and planned to buy it back from Mr. Yang.
He was not worried about not being able to buy it back. After all, he sold such a large piece of land to Mr. Yang for only eighty taels of silver.
You know, when the Taoist temple was first built, Fang Town spent 1,500 taels of silver to buy the land!
Although the land purchased was wasteland, the price was considered to be quite high.
So Fang Xiaozhen, who sold this place for eighty taels of silver, was really mad.
When Fang Xiaoyue visited Mr. Yang's house, Mr. Yang seemed to be deaf. Xiaoyue pretended to be deaf and dumb when he wanted to buy back the Taoist temple.
This made Fang Xiaoyue have no choice but to say goodbye.
But Fang Xiaoyue had guessed that Mr. Yang would do this before.
Everyone has selfish motives, especially for someone like Mr. Yang who has been able to accumulate thousands of acres of grain fields in more than 20 years.
But Fang Xiaoyue doesn't have to worry about Master Yang not selling it to her.
Soon, after nightfall, something strange happened at Mr. Yang's house.
According to the servants of his family, at night, a woman in red would wander back and forth in the yard, but when someone approached, the woman in red would suddenly disappear.
This scene frightened Mr. Yang quite a lot.
He thought the woman in red was the concubine who died of illness five years ago and had come back to claim her life.
It must be said that the concubine's death had something to do with him.
Because his concubine was hooking up with a servant and he discovered it, he became furious and threatened to send his concubine to a hookhouse.
After all, the concubine was born in the Qingbai family. After hearing this, she hanged herself that night. When she committed suicide, she was wearing a red dress.
So Mr. Yang was frightened by this, and the next day he sent people to various villages and towns to invite the gods, goddesses, Taoist priests and monks.
But here comes the problem. These goddesses, Taoist priests and monks came to the Yang family. After a lot of trouble, not only could they not expel or suppress the woman in red, but several goddesses and monks were frightened and fainted.
And just when Mr. Yang was so frightened that he was about to move away, Fang Xiaoyue came to the door and pointed out that the girl in red was destined to Mr. Yang, but it was not a marriage, but a fate!
Under such circumstances, it would be useless for Mr. Yang to move thousands of miles away. The woman in red would definitely pursue him.
And depending on Mr. Yang's situation, it will only take five or six days at most.
Mr. Yang is already a bit old. He has been eating and drinking for many years. He has some symptoms of high blood pressure and high blood fat. In addition, he has not had a good rest after the past few days. When he heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Fang Xiaoyue.
.
People like Mr. Yang have the greatest belief in ghosts, gods, and other strange things.
In this way, Fang Xiaoyue got back the land title smoothly without much trouble.
And in order to repay Fang Xiaoyue's life-saving grace, Master Yang not only gave Fang Xiaoyue the land deed for free, but also gave him two hundred taels of silver as a reward.
For these two hundred taels of silver, Fang Xiaoyue wanted to refuse but couldn't.
Mr. Yang's intention was to give Mr. Fang a piece of incense when he rebuilt the Taoist temple, which would be regarded as atonement for himself.
It has to be said that due to Master Yang's incident, Fang Xiaoyue's reputation began to spread little by little in the surrounding areas.
Everyone knows that there is a Taoist priest here who once served as a prostitute and entered the Imperial Academy.
Well, Mr. Yang's admiration for Fang Xiaoyue is beyond comparison with ordinary people. He even paid for Fang Xiaoyue to buy several Sun, Moon, Stars and Bagua robes.
The cost of this kind of robe plus the tailor's craftsman's money is a full 10 taels.
Fang Xiaoyue couldn't wear this kind of robe at all in ordinary times. This kind of robe was only worn when holding ritual ceremonies.
Normally, Fang Xiaoyue wears an ordinary Taoist priest's coat.
He had no intention of completely rebuilding the Taoist temple on the ruined land.
In that case, it would be too expensive and time-consuming. Unless you are willing to consume precious spiritual energy, you may not be able to successfully rebuild it in five or six years.
He just hired some master craftsmen and used the intact materials on the wasteland to build a small Taoist temple.
Well, how small is this Taoist temple?
There is a circle of walls, and there is a small courtyard at the entrance. Behind the small courtyard is a main hall. Behind the main hall are three side rooms. There is a kitchen and a woodshed in the backyard.
This is the overall building part, covering an area of only 4 acres.
As for the remaining land, he planned to use it to cultivate grain and vegetables, and also set up a pig pen outside the back door to raise some pigs and sheep.
Because the wages he gave were sufficient, the craftsmen built the Taoist temple within three months.
The plaque on the gate of the Taoist temple was written and carved by Fang Xiaoyue himself.
View of the Three Emperors.
Sanhuang Temple follows the name of the temple from Fang Town.
Enshrined in the main hall are the three human emperors.
Fuxi, Huangdi, Yandi.
Apart from this, Fang Xiaoyue did not worship any other gods.
The reason is simple, there are no real gods in this plane.
Fang Xiaoyue has no need to worship other gods at all.
After the Taoist temple was built, Fang Xiaoyue invited her sister and her family to the Taoist temple as guests, which was considered a recognition of the place.
But it was the first time for the two children, Li Dawei and Li Cunmang, to come to the countryside.
They were quickly attracted by the countryside scenery.
Children from nearby villages took them to explore mountains and rivers, poke beehives, catch small fish, and dig eels.
This makes them feel the joy of childhood that is not available in the county.
So, when Li Zaixing was about to return to the county with his wife and children, Li Zizi was okay. After all, he was older and more sensible, and knew that he shouldered the hope of the Li family's rise.
But Li Cunmang is different. He is the typical child who doesn't want to go to school and just wants to have fun.
So at this time, he said that his parents would go back first, and he and his brother would play at his uncle's place for a few more days.
