Ye Qing put his hands behind his back and looked around casually, followed by a group of people.
At this time, I looked at the temple and saw that the temple gate had been in disrepair for a long time and most of it had collapsed. The two-person tall clay statue in the middle could be faintly seen on the three walls. They were all mottled and worn out, and the closer ones were covered in moss.
Ye Qing saw a faint mist appearing in the distance and thought in his mind.
The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, not to mention the help of gods and men. In the past, there was nothing, and I was not strong enough. Gods and men must not be surprised. Now that I am a scholar and have wealth, I can repay him a little.
Moreover, it is close to Beimang Mountain, and the shrine is located to suppress evil spirits, so it is suitable to go here.
After a long time, Ye Qing sighed softly, turned around and said: "Dad Yu, when I was young, I received help from a god. Now I am going to help this god repair the shrine. You are famous nearby.
Craftsmen, you are very familiar with this area. Have you seen this temple? How much money and labor will it cost to build it?"
Father Yu, who wore coarse cloth, thin cloth shoes, and a gray beard, bowed at this moment and said: "Young master, if you don't dare to call me this, just call me Yu Lao Wu. I am the fifth in the family."
Ye Qing has now become a scholar, and his status has risen. He is respected and complimented from the bottom of his heart wherever he goes. This time is no exception. He only heard Father Yu think about it and say: "There are trees and rocks nearby, and many of them can be used on the spot."
It doesn't cost much to get the materials. It only costs one hundred taels of silver. It's the statue inside. I wonder if it is made of clay or wood?"
"One hundred taels of silver is too little, I'll give you two hundred taels of silver." Ye Qing smiled slightly. He could see that this person was thinking that his work was almost in vain, but he was unwilling to accept it.
"As for whether you want a clay body or a wooden body, but want to build a golden body, I will pay you ten taels of gold. Is there no problem with this?"
"Yes, yes, there is no problem. Don't worry, sir, we will take care of everything."
Ye Qing frowned when he heard this: "You are all old. You have been in this business for I don't know how many years. You have experience. I believe what you say. Let's do it this way. You come here with me today and don't start work. Have a good rest and start work tomorrow morning.
, just take a look at the structure today and have a good idea!"
"Hey, listen to the young master's orders." Both of them responded.
After saying this, Ye Qing left the shrine and walked towards a rock. The sky became gloomy, and the night wind brought by the twilight blew, making people feel a little chilly. At this time, piles of fire were burning near the shrine.
There was a bonfire, thirty young men and women together, but they were not afraid of the yin energy, and the smoke slowly rose.
From the stones, it can be seen that there are big holes in the roof of the temple, which cannot block the rain. The faces of the gods inside are blurred, and the entire temple exudes an aura of depression and desolation.
But now, I have the ability to repair it. Ye Qing looked at the dilapidated temple and thought to himself. At this time, a trace of Yin Qi lingered, but when it got close to the body, it was catalyzed by the blood-red Qi and blood.
"Three Yuan Zhenlu is a very good Tao method, but learning it will still make the Tao foundation finalized. I have the Six Yang Diagram, and I must practice it to the peak."
"But with the Six Yang Diagram and the Little Martial Arts Scripture, the progress is really rapid. It is truly the first classic in martial arts!"
The Great Yi Martial Arts Collection was collected, edited and corrected in one day, and the essence of the warriors was concentrated. The Little Martial Arts Collection was the essence of the Great Yi Martial Arts. Ye Qing believed that in a world without the interference of supernatural forces, this would be the essence of the martial arts.
A warrior's treasure.
Chinese martial arts has only a history of three to five hundred years of evolution, and it is still a sporadic warrior. How can it be as good as a unique skill that mobilizes tens of millions of people and practices thousands of times?
It is a pity that in this world, the Taoism is manifested in the world, and the complete part of the Great Book of Changes and Martial Arts may only be viewed by the public, but the scattered parts can be found in any county.
After exhaling a breath, Ye Qing smiled and stopped feeling emotional. On earth, technology has ruthlessly crushed the so-called divine arts and national arts, and Taoism has also crushed everything.
This has nothing to do with good or evil, only power!
But at least at this stage, there is no conflict between the Six Yang Diagram and the Xiaowu Jing. On the contrary, they complement each other. This is because the foundation is now based on the physical body.
"And in this world where Taoism manifests itself, as long as you obtain status and spiritual energy to replace the so-called true energy, it is really easy and fast. At least one year can be counted as ten years. I have the status of a scholar and the six Yangs
Illustration, even if you practice Xiaowu Jing to its peak, it will not take you three years!"
Thinking about it, Ye Qing looked into the distance, suddenly startled, and smiled: "I know why the evil spirit has not come. It turns out that the gods have spirits and have driven away the evil spirit. I guess the construction of the temple must have gone smoothly."
The morning light of the next day had just fallen, and masons and carpenters were busy up and down. After praying, the statue was removed and covered with red cloth.
As for the original walls, check them out piece by piece. Those that are useful can be repaired and reused, and those that are useless can be discarded.
There were also villagers who came in with bricks in baskets. Ye Qing paid for it. For every penny he paid, there were hundreds of young people in the village willing to help.
As for the wood, it should be cut down on the spot. Anyway, the township and county would not care about this "unowned wood" with a scholar.
On the fifth day, the basic structure of the entire temple was built.
On the seventh day, the beams were finished and covered with green tiles.
On the eleventh day, the ground was paved with blue bricks, and the golden statues outside were also brought in. The statues were solemn and majestic, as if gods were living in them, making people look at them with fear.
In another three days, the wall was completed and no wild beasts could break in. The two gates were thick and solid and painted with red paint.
In the last three days, everyone worked together, and the three wing rooms were completed. The entire temple was completely new, and there was no trace of dilapidation.
"Master, please offer some incense!" Father Yu put on clean clothes today and bowed in front of Ye Qing as he spoke. At the same time, the faces of many craftsmen were filled with joy. After the work was done and the incense was offered, the money was settled.
At that time, they can go back.
Ye Qing smiled and entered the shrine. He saw his own sacrificial inscriptions carved on the left and right, and a sacrificial inscription was already in front of the case. This was certainly not the intention of these craftsmen, but he had already ordered it.
At this time, he entered the main hall and stood in front of the statue and said: "Since ancient times, there has been no country that has never been destroyed. The general is loyal to the king and the country. The strong wind can be passed down through the ages. I have my own respect for it. I also invite the general to sit in the hall and receive incense!"
After saying that, he lit the incense and put his hands into the furnace without kneeling. He just bowed deeply to complete the ceremony. There was a burst of cheers from behind, indicating that the temple was completed.
However, these people did not dare to offend, and they all queued up respectfully and offered incense one by one. Dozens of incense sticks were lit, and for a while the incense lingered in the temple.
When we returned to the back room, there was a plate covered with red cloth on the table.
"The temple has been repaired. You are done. You can go back. Here is the money, a total of two hundred taels." Ye Qing sat on the chair and spoke slowly.
This shrine has been renovated and looks brand new, but there are few strangers there. It looks a bit solemn. Father Yu was a little restrained. After hearing this, he quickly responded: "Thank you, Master!"
He quickly took the plate over, holding it very heavy. He opened it slightly and saw that it was all five taels and one ingot of gold ingots. Seeing that he had obtained the real gold and silver, Father Yu was relieved, and the smile on his face became more sincere, and he said: "
After the matter is done, we will go back. If you have any instructions, please ask for instructions."
"One more thing. After the temple has been repaired, there are fifty acres of sloping land near the valley. I have also bought it. It is regarded as the ancestral land. I have already told the county that it will be exempted from taxes and money and grain.
I want to find a few people to look after the property of the ancestral temple. The property of the ancestral field will belong to him and he will take care of the incense."
"And people who go into the mountains will also have a place to rest, and it will be convenient to come and go. What do you think about this matter? If you want it, send someone out. If you don't want it, I will go find a villager myself."
Father Yu was startled. These fifty acres of sloping land were very poor and the output was not much. But if the tax was exempted and no money and grain were collected, it would be quite a lot.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Sir, if you dislike it, I have a crippled son who has no livelihood, so I come here to guard the incense."
"I'm getting older, so I won't be able to do this craftsman's work for long. In half a year, I'll come over and cook together. What do you think?"
"If you have this intention, there will be no problem. But if you want to come up, you have to come tomorrow. Come down!" Ye Qing had no objection and waved his hand.
In fact, he went to the county to file a case for these fifty acres of sloping land, and bought it with only a dozen taels of silver. Of course he didn't care.
Father Yu took the money and left, followed by a group of craftsmen. Gradually there was no sound of people and it was deserted.
Ye Qing spent his first night guarding the repaired shrine.
The night is dark, and there are wolves howling in the distance. I used to be frightened to stay here, but now I don't. I patrolled and saw that the wall was three meters long. How could any animal come in?
One person cooked some porridge, lit a candle, drank the porridge and read the meaning of the scriptures. Unknowingly, he felt sleepy and went to sleep on the wooden couch.
It can be said that it was as expected. After an unknown period of time, he saw a vast expanse of white and thick fog. Ye Qing stood there without saying a word.
After a while, there was a faint sound of horse hooves, dispersing the surrounding dense fog. A golden carriage galloped out of the void, with four black horses running. The hoofs stepped on the yin fire, and the golden flames lingered, accompanied by
With a rumbling sound.
The carriage stopped ten feet in front of Ye Qing. A general wearing black armor walked down from it. There was a faint red flame in his eyes. He looked at Ye Qing and said: "The general wants to see you, come with me."
.”
Strangely enough, as soon as the carriage arrived, the surrounding dense fog quickly dissipated and disappeared in a moment, revealing the true scene of this area.
The black mountains are endless, with faint figures of people, withered grass is the only embellishment on the earth, and the black river flows with small winding water. These scenes are in Ye Qing's heart, and he suddenly wakes up.
This is Hades!
This situation only exists in the underworld. There are countless practitioners in the Taoist sect downstream of the underworld, one layer at a time. The first to third layers in the underworld are like this.
But the further down you go, the more bizarre it becomes, escaping from the constraints of this world.
The Yang world is the center of existence. The further away from the Yang world, the deeper the earth, the more it is separated from the influence of the real world, and an unknown existence is derived. Although Ye Qing did not practice deeply in his previous life, he once descended to a place in the underworld with a great practitioner during the Great Tribulation.
Deep in the depths, there are unknown wreckage floating everywhere, it seems to be an abandoned place.
The general looked at Ye Qing who was standing there, until a dull roar from the horse brought Ye Qing back from his thoughts.
"I would like to go with you!" Ye Qing saluted the black-armored general and got into the car with him.
