"Sit still!" The black armor reminded Ye Qing, and the carriage started galloping, flying through the underworld in golden flames.
Ye Qing glanced at it, the underworld was deep and dark, and before his eyes, there was a smoky and gloomy road. In some levels, sins were actively flowing, and in some levels, ghosts lived.
But when I looked again, I saw lights. These lights were not sparks, but areas.
Some parts of the underworld were either opened up and purified by great powers, or were affected by the projection of the present world. A pure land was opened up in the chaotic and dark underworld, and these formed lights.
Especially Taoist temples and shrines, which are full of hope and light and are different from other places.
"We're here!" The carriage suddenly vibrated, accompanied by golden flames, the carriage stopped, and a palace appeared in front of Ye Qing's eyes.
The entire palace was shrouded in golden and light green energy. Ye Qing remembered that last time, a lot of repairs had been made, and this person's strength had recovered a lot?
"Follow me," the general said, leading the way, with Ye Qing following closely behind.
After turning a few corners, we entered a large hall. The hall was spacious and huge, with armor and swords displayed around it. The armory was more like a palace. Only on the long table at the top was a jug of wine and a wine glass.
"You are here. You have helped me build my shrine this time, but I have nothing to repay!" The general on the stage spoke slowly, his figure in a golden light, with black hair occasionally flowing in the golden light.
Ye Qing felt awe-struck when he saw it. Judging from the situation, this godman's power has obviously increased.
"Renovating the shrine for the general, why don't you ask for anything in return?" Ye Qing bowed and responded. At this time, there was a red aura permeating his body, but he was a scholar.
This time is different from last time, the identity is different.
"Even so, I still have to give something in return. Otherwise, who else will do things for me?" As the man of God spoke, he looked down and said, "Well, today I will reveal some opportunities and give you some points.
Reminder, just listen."
"Yes! Please give me some advice from the general. I am all ears." Ye Qing had dealt with the god and knew his nature well, so he did not refuse.
Seeing that Ye Qing agreed without any hesitation, the god was a little satisfied, then he nodded and said, "Do you know that passing the imperial examination is useless and a waste of luck?"
"Huh? Why did the general say this?" Ye Qing was shocked when he heard this. There is no so-called dream in this world in Buddhism. The imperial examination fame is directly linked to Taoism. How can it be completely useless?
Unless it is related to the great catastrophe of the world and the breakdown of order, fame will gradually become useless.
I thought that I was the only one who knew about this great catastrophe, but it seems that I was wrong. Maybe these gods were vaguely aware of it at this time.
I'm afraid this person vaguely knew this and warned him.
"Listen to me!" The god shook his head, interrupted Ye Qing's words, and continued: "I think your relationship with Long Jun is not a trivial matter. Your luck is quite strong now. If you follow the Shinto way, your achievements will not be as good as yours."
Xiao, I can help you!"
Ye Qing was horrified, as he recalled his past life with flashes of lightning in his heart, and quickly bowed deeply: "General, please tell me the story here in detail!"
But this god-man didn't respond, his eyes flashed with green flames, and he lowered his far-reaching gaze.
Ye Qing was startled by this look, which showed that this god-man was vaguely aware of the approaching catastrophe. In any case, people had good intentions, and it was very difficult to have any hints.
It's just that although the divine way is good, it can protect oneself, but it is just a way to avoid danger, and it cannot be exceeded in a great calamity. If you can avoid it for a while, can you avoid it for a lifetime?
What I want is more than just hedging!
For a moment, after weighing the pros and cons, Ye Qing made a decision in his heart and bowed deeply to the god on the stage: "Thank you, General, but I still have an unfulfilled wish and don't want to step into the Shinto."
"Oh? What's your wish?" The god above became interested and asked.
"Fame, immortality!" Ye Qing straightened his clothes and said in a deep voice, his words clear and clear.
"Well..." The man of God pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and I won't force you. Today's wish and tomorrow's journey will have their own consequences. You can do it yourself."
"Thank you, General, for your advice." Ye Qing bowed and said.
"If you want to be a candidate for the imperial examination, your luck is still not enough, let alone a Jinshi. If you build my temple, I will lend you some luck. The rest will be up to you!" The man of God smiled and suddenly
He stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a golden light penetrated directly into Ye Qing's body.
This divine person has the same fate as the stream, suddenly branching out into a branch and falling into Ye Qing's life.
After finishing it, the god gradually faded and disappeared.
The scenery in front of Ye Qing's eyes kept receding, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the place where he fell asleep again. The surroundings were covered in white and thick fog, making it difficult to see the surrounding areas.
This feeling was a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but struggle, and he immediately woke up from the wooden couch.
Ye Qing stood up and did not rush to check. He moved slowly and looked at the night, feeling a little heavy. Even the gods could faintly feel the aura of the great calamity. What about the Daoting?
This thought makes it more confusing. The water here is unfathomable!
After a while, I touched it with my hand and took the golden cup out of my arms. I saw that it was already more than half full, one-fifth of it was light cyan, and the rest was golden yellow. This golden luck was particularly special to this golden cup.
Fit.
After staring for a long time, I arrived in the main hall. The statue of the god was majestic and calm, holding a sword to guard one side. There was a little bit of aura, and it was no longer as dilapidated as it was before.
Ye Qing sighed, bowed deeply and retreated.
In the early morning, I saw five or six people climbing up.
They were all wearing rough clothes. The leader was Father Yu, followed by a crippled man, about thirty years old, but tall and strong, and followed by a woman, who was obviously this man's daughter-in-law.
There were two boys, both old and young, and a girl.
Ye Qing watched these people come in and saw Father Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said cautiously: "Sir, we are here. This is my third son's family..."
Ye Qing glanced at everyone and waved his hand: "No need, you come in with me."
When the group of people could enter, Ye Qing pointed to the main hall: "Every morning and evening, burn incense and clean the temple. Don't neglect this. Can you do it?"
The crippled man smiled apologetically: "Although I'm crippled, I still work in the fields at home. These tasks are very easy, and I won't be lazy no matter what. Besides, this is a matter of worshiping God, how can I dare?"
Ye Qing was very satisfied after hearing this, and led him to the wing room. The three temporary wing rooms were very small, but after careful inspection, he saw that the three rooms were open and separated by green cloth.
There are simple wooden couches, quilts and tables in the west. Ye Qing said: "This is your residence."
Then he led me to the compartment, where there were rice bags and a stove. There were bags of large white rice, and there were five bags, which were probably three hundred kilograms.
"I've given you all these, and some salt. You have to prepare the rest by yourself!"
Father Yu quickly led his family members in bowing again: "Thank you for the reward, Master!"
The whole family was all smiles. Even though they received two hundred taels of silver yesterday, this was the salary of a grown man in his 30s and 40s, and it would only be divided into a few taels.
These belongings are not limited to this number.
"Get up!" Ye Qing smiled, raised his hand, and said, "I can also remind you that this road is a hunting and gathering path for locals, and it is a resting place. You can plant some
Vegetables, if you provide some rice, you can get a lot."
"But there is a rule. If you want to rest here, you must burn some incense."
"Of course, how can you enter the temple without offering incense? Even if you are staying in the countryside for a night, you still have to express your gratitude!" Father Yu said with an apologetic smile.
After hearing this, Ye Qing remained silent and took out two pieces of documents: "One is the land deed for the nearby slope field, and the other is the exemption certificate for the temple. Please keep them both."
Seeing how grateful they were, Ye Qing ignored them and turned around to go down the mountain.
This place is not far from Ye's house. Ye Qing came here at night last year. This time he went back and became more familiar with the road. It was noon when he returned to Ye's house.
Ye Qing looked from a distance and saw a small courtyard built with farmland on both sides and a canal crossing it. Running water flowed around the courtyard and through the fields. More than twenty farmers were working in the fields, and some were delivering food to the fields.
Inside, when he saw Ye Qing coming, he hurriedly shouted: "The young master is here!"
He went up to the field, put down his bowls and chopsticks to greet him and bowed.
Ye Qing is extraordinary now. He has risen all the way up in a short period of time. It can be said that he has risen through the ranks. He was first selected as a boy student, then as a scholar. If he is selected as a scholar, the entire Ye family will benefit.
Ye Qing quickly waved his hand and got up, but with sharp eyes, he saw a person coming out of the small courtyard under construction not far away, it was Ye Zifan.
Ye Qing didn't dare to be disrespectful. Ye Zifan was his uncle and a scholar. How could he be rude? He hurriedly went up to see him.
"Get up, Qing'er has been out for half a month, and his demeanor is even better than before. I'm very happy to congratulate you." Zifan saw Ye Qing from a distance, and felt that he had lost sight of him for half a month, and his bearing was a little deeper, and he was filled with emotions.
"My uncle is overly praised. My uncle patrols the fields and is busy with family affairs. This is called hard work." Ye Qing was speaking from his heart. He changed his words and asked again: "I wonder if there is something wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong, everything is normal, and trivial matters cannot be brought to the fore." Ye Zifan said, there are thousands of people in the clan, there are many miscellaneous things, but there is nothing that really matters.
"But the Lu Shangjing you found is a talented person!" Ye Zifan said, suddenly remembering something, so he said: "Originally, he looked like a scholar, and he was alienated at first, but in half a month, he became very familiar with it.
, I heard that he is still a child, it is rare for you to find him!"
"Hmm? Mr. Lu, where are you now?" Ye Qing's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately asked.
"I'm supervising the construction of a house in the courtyard, saying that I want to move out as soon as possible, and ignoring the incest, which makes sense." Ye Zifan said with admiration.
After hearing this, Ye Qing hurriedly bowed to Ye Zifan: "Uncle, I am going to see Mr. Lu. I will visit my uncle again when I have time in the future."
"You go first." Zifan was startled and said quickly.
As he said that, Ye Zifan stood and watched Ye Qing go far away and enter the courtyard.
