So much so that such a large restaurant has to set up a stall at the entrance to sell steamed cakes and buns in the morning.
"I'm coming……"
The waiter came with steamed buns and soup cakes.
There is also an extra small plate of donkey meat.
"Thank you very much."
"Please enjoy."
"correct--"
Song You stopped the waiter and asked curiously: "When I was upstairs just now, I heard a commotion outside. I opened the window and saw a group of Taoist priests passing by. It was quite a scene. I wonder what it was about?"
"The guest officer is asking about Yongyang Immortal?"
"It seems like I heard them shouting like this."
"The guest has come from afar, so naturally he doesn't know anything." The waiter stopped and said to him with a smile, "We have a Taoist temple in Jingyu County that has been around for nearly a century, called Xuanlei Temple. It is very efficacious. Dozens of people in the Taoist temple
Taoist masters are all experts in Taoism. The Yongyang Immortal is the master of the temple. It is said that he has lived for more than a hundred years. This Taoist temple was built by him when he was young. Everyone says that he has attained Taoism.
He could have ascended to immortality, but the demons in Hezhou were raging, so he stayed in the mortal world to kill demons and help the world."
"Could I have ascended to immortality?"
"That's what everyone says."
"Folk legend."
"Ah, yes! It's all folklore!"
"This Immortal Yongyang is very respected by the people."
"Of course." The clerk said to him, "Nowadays, the north is in trouble, and there are many demons in Hezhou. Our Pu County is more stable. Everyone says that with Yongyang Immortal's cultivation, he can ascend to immortality long ago. However,
But he is still willing to stay with us to protect the local people. We, the people of Jingyu, naturally have to respect him more."
"So it sounds like the stability of Pujun is probably due to the Yongyang Immortal?"
"this……"
The guy was a little embarrassed: "It's hard to say that..."
"how to say?"
"Pujun is more stable than other counties in Hezhou. Naturally, the county governor has the greatest credit, but Yongyang Shangxian's contribution cannot be underestimated." The clerk obviously knew that Song You was an old friend of the county governor, and also knew that Song You was in the restaurant.
The room was reserved by the county guard's staff in person. They had dinner together last night, so they were naturally wary of what they said, "It's like being rid of a demon outside the city. It's usually a thunderstorm night, and you're struck to death by lightning, and everyone knows
The Taoist temple where Yongyang Shangxian practices is called Xuanlei Temple, Yongyang Shangxian also has a spell to attract thunder from the sky, but it is hard to say."
"It sounds like he is also a master who eliminates harm for the people."
"This is natural!"
"Thanks for clearing up the confusion."
"The little man went to work."
"good……"
At this time, the swordsman had already taken the steamed buns and started eating them.
Song You also took out the royal bowl of Empress Sanhua, put the donkey meat in it, picked up the steamed buns with fat intestines in one hand, picked up the chopsticks in the other, and started eating slowly.
It was my first time to eat steamed buns filled with fat intestines.
It was near noon that Governor Liu came to see him.
Song You then followed Governor Liu and his staff, walking slowly along the streets of Jingyu County to see the various aspects of people's livelihood in this troubled time.
"Hezhou is different from our Yizhou. Yizhou has many mountains and rivers, but Hezhou has few mountains and strong winds. If you find a high place, you can see more than ten miles at a glance. When I first came here, I was very uncomfortable.
." Commander Liu walked with a figure-eight stride while talking to Song Yin, "Sir, the journey along the way was pretty good. Going further, when we arrived at Gui County, it was really flat. There was not a single mountain in sight for hundreds of miles.
.”
"Hezhou is the only one left with Gui County."
"..." Governor Liu thought for a moment before saying, "If Mr. Liu leaves Beijing at the beginning of the New Year, he will have been gone for almost a year."
"It's been three seasons."
"How will we go after this? Do we have to continue going north?"
"nature."
"To the north is Guijun. There is a plague in Guijun. If you want to go from Guijun to Yanzhou, you have to cross the snowfield. It is said that there is a big demon entrenched there, and it is no one's land." Governor Liu said to him carefully.
, "I heard that there was a period of time where dark clouds were all over the place, and thunder was raging, and it struck for a whole month. It was rumored that the heavenly palace was trying to eliminate demons, but there was no result. It was just peaceful, but the demons that should be there are still there."
"Let's go and see something."
"..."
Sheriff Liu couldn't help but secretly took a breath.
I remembered that year again——
He, who was still the magistrate of Yidu County, followed Yu Zhizhou to see off his husband. He heard his husband casually reply that this trip down the mountain would take twenty years.
Now that I have been transferred to Hezhou, I feel that I have seen more monsters and more Buddhist and Taoist masters than when I was in Yizhou. However, the distance between the gentleman in front of me and myself seems to be the same as before.
Thinking of his husband's deeds and legends along the way in Hezhou, County Sheriff Liu roughly understood that he must go there. However, after all, it was a great demon king that even the Heavenly Palace could not control, so he was worried that his husband might have something.
Something went wrong, but I expected that just like other places in Hezhou, after Mr. Wang passed by, there would be no more raging demon king.
Sheriff Liu quietly looked at each other and his staff, and then glanced at the Taoist beside him with his peripheral vision, only to see that the Taoist had a calm face and was walking leisurely, only looking at the streets around him.
You can vaguely see the prosperity of the past on the street.
"Does the Sheriff have no official duties today?"
The Taoist suddenly turned his head and made eye contact with him.
"Ah, to be honest, Mr. Liu has already received a transfer order from the Central Government and will be transferred to the capital. He has already handed over the county's political affairs to the county prime minister." Sheriff Liu was almost startled, "If I hadn't listened,
I told you about your husband's deeds in slaying demons and monsters all the way in Hezhou. I know that when you come here, you must pass through Jingyu, and I want to wait for you here. Master and I probably left for Beijing half a month ago."
"Congratulations to the county governor, you will be a capital official from now on."
"They were all promoted by Yu Zhizhou." Sheriff Liu said modestly, "Although Liu is not a great talent, he still wants to imitate Yu Zhizhou. If Liu was asked to return to Beijing earlier, Liu would probably be a little reluctant. But now
Sir, after walking through Hezhou, all the demons were eliminated, so Mr. Liu can walk with peace of mind."
Although the words were compliments, they were often hesitant.
Song You keenly caught his emotions and asked, "Do you have any concerns, Commander Liu?"
"There is only one knot in the heart!"
Song You glanced at him and smiled: "It sounds like I can be of help."
"Oh, I can't hide it from sir."
Sheriff Liu paused for a moment and then said to him: "My master and I originally planned to come to look for you early in the morning. However, Master Yongyang of Xuanlei Temple came to visit this morning, which delayed some time. And my knot is...
This is Yongyang Zhenren of Xuan Lei Temple!"
"tell me the story."
Song You's expression remained unchanged, but he happened to be somewhat interested in the grand and impressive Yongyang Master.
"This Master Yongyang is very virtuous and has great magic power. He is known as the Yongyang Immortal. If he were in Yizhou, he might really be worthy of the name of an immortal. However, what is even more powerful about him is his ability to confuse people with his evil words.
"Originally, he was very popular among the people in Pujun. Later, there was chaos in the north. With the power of demons, he gathered countless pilgrims and believers in Pujun. When my master and I first came here to take office three years ago, the local people even He did not recognize the government, but only recognized the real person Xuan Lei Guan Yongyang. He could no longer afford to eat. The government and the court no longer collected taxes, but they actually had to take grain to him as offerings.
"Thanks to Master's assistance and ingenious plan, Mr. Liu has been here for three years, and he has managed to revive the dignity of the government and restrained himself a lot. However, when the evil spirits in Pu County were wiped out, the ones who eliminated the evil spirits were mostly Lei Gong, and Xuan Lei Yongyang Zhenren, who was watching, took advantage of this to spread many rumors and took part of the credit on himself. After three years, Pujun became much more peaceful, and he became an immortal among the people.
"In fact, although this Yongyang Master has also eliminated the little monsters outside the city, he mostly deceives the public with his evil words, preys on the common people, gathers the crowd to become a force, and excludes dissidents.
"Although Mr. Liu came to Pujun not long ago, it was in troubled times, and Mr. Liu happened to do what he did. Haha, he also has some power in the hearts of the people in Pujun. He can temporarily suppress this Yongyang master. But I'm worried, wait Master and I left Pujun and were transferred to the capital, and this Yongyang master is out of control. By then, the people may be fooled by him again, and Pujun will be in chaos again."
