Burning Paper Every Day, I Became a Taoist Ancestor/
Chapter 07 Luotian Dajiao, Jiazi offers incense
Chen Ping is missing..
A servant was insignificant, but if he escaped without permission, it was a big crime, especially for the Wang family. Once he was caught, he would usually be killed directly to completely eliminate this unhealthy atmosphere..
Wang Hun asked a few questions and asked Zhuangzi to report the matter to the government..
After all, if someone is lost, there has to be an explanation. We have to find a way to get it back..
"Chen Ping is really bold. He actually dares to escape privately. He has no conscience..”
The ninth day gnashes his teeth. In his eyes, betraying his master as a slave is the most unforgivable sin..
He was the same as Chen Ping. Wang Hun brought him over from the mansion. The only difference was that he was Wang Hun's servant when he acknowledged his ancestors. Although he was not smart, he was honest and loyal. He was the most reliable..
"Don't say that. He may have his own difficulties..The king was very generous and had no intention of pursuing it..
"Young Master, there is no such kind master as you in the world..The first nine are moving..
"Tell the mansion that if they find him, don't make things difficult for him..The king warned..
"Young Master, you are really a great person..”
Wang Hun didn't say anything. If the wild dogs in the suburbs had a good appetite, Chen Ping would have turned into lumps by now..
"Young Master, where are you going?"
"In the city!"
……
Green Willow Villa is located in the suburbs, only ten miles away from [Liyang County City].
The 28 cities of Jiang Prefecture's three prefectures,[Liyang County City], were not considered top-notch, but they could be said to be prosperous..
In those years, the great sect of Jiang Province, Fang Immortal Sect, opened the Dragon Tiger Dao Altar, burned incense to worship the heavens, and spread the Dharma vein. The Wang family ancestor became one of the Nine Families who ascended the altar. From then on, together with the Hong family, who was also the Nine Families, they took root in Liyang County City and became a prominent local family..
After many years of reproduction, half of the current [Liyang County City] is surnamed Wang and half is surnamed Hong..
Wild Fox Tavern, the most humble tavern in the south of the city.
Business is very good on weekdays. People from all walks of life like to come here for a drink. It's cheap..
Ten big pieces, you can boil a pot of burning knives, and you can also come to a plate of spicy mouth strips..
At the beginning, Wang Hun often came here to open a small stove when he was in the market.
At noon, Wang Hun sat in the corner near the window and leaned forward to look at the sun.
"You're still a legitimate son of the Wang family, why are you so stingy? Why don't you pick a better restaurant?.”
At this moment, a voice of complaint came over..
Wang Hun looked up and saw a young man walking over. He looked handsome and his temples bulged. He was dressed in a red robe and wore a flowing eagle robe. He had a short golden blade…He was a member of the public sect and a red-clothed guard of the Spirit Inspection Department..
The Great Zhou Empire was gradually declining, and the mysterious sects of the world emerged one after another. The powerful families occupied one side..
However, the Spirit Inspection Department was still a force that could not be ignored. Usually, it was mainly responsible for suppressing smuggling and demons and maintaining public order on the ground..
Shen Xiaolou, like Wang Hun, was born in the marketplace. In his early years, he was appreciated by an old red-clothed guard. He stepped into the path of cultivation and ate a public meal. At a young age, he became a leader. He was one of Wang Hun's few friends..
"Two days ago, why didn't you come to my funeral?"
Wang Hun glanced at Shen Xiaolou and poured him a glass of wine..
" Good people don't live long, bad people live a thousand years…I knew you wouldn't die…" Shen Xiaolou said..
"Why did I hear that on the day of my funeral…you were drinking alone in the Wild Fox Wine Shop, crying like your biological father died…"
Wang Hun grinned. As we all know, the end of a brother is his father..
" Bullsh * t…Which son of a b * tch is spreading rumors!?" Shen Xiaolou blushed and slammed the table..
Wang Hun narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face deepened, but he didn't say anything else..
" Do you know that the news of your corpse has long spread throughout Liyang County…"
Shen Xiaolou's expression softened slightly. He changed the topic and grinned." Some people say that you lack a great virtue. Even the subordinates are unwilling to accept you. They think it's bad luck.".”
" Bullsh * t…Which son of a b * tch is lying?!" Wang Hun rolled his eyes..
" Hehe…Back then, if I hadn't introduced you to a few more jobs to collect corpses, you would have starved to death. Now, you've actually transformed into the legitimate son of the Wang family…"
. Shen Xiaolou smiled and said,"That seat is not good to sit on.".”
"You can see that..The king took the cup, touched it, and drank it immediately..
" The Wang Family is one of the Nine Families of the Longhu Dao. They don't raise idle people, let alone you being the legitimate son…" Shen Xiaolou said lightly..
" When I acknowledged my ancestors, I was already past the age of Foundation Establishment. Isn't it a little unfair to ask me according to the standards of the Wang Family?" Wang Hun casually said..
Shen Xiaolou poured a glass of wine." There are so many unfair things in the world…"
" Is it fair for a man to overindulge in sex, a woman to overindulge in sex, or a man to have kidney deficiency?"
Wang Hun was stunned for a moment when he heard this. His expression immediately became strange..
"What a tricky angle!"
"Three years later, it will be [Jiazi Jingxiang]…The tide of the times will roll in. I wonder where you and I will be when the time comes..Shen Xiaolou narrowed his eyes, and before he drank, he seemed to be talking drunk..
As soon as he said this, Wang Hun couldn't help but be serious..
The great events of the country are only sacrifices and wars..
Luo Tian Jiao, Jia Zi Jing Xiang.
It was a celebration of the Great Heaven, held every 60 years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty..
It is said that once the Jiazi incense is opened, the incense will worship heaven and invite the gods... At that time, all the immortals and gods will be brought into the mortal world and manifest themselves in the human world..
At that time, everyone will be affected to a greater or lesser extent, especially practitioners, and even mountain monsters, demons...
Usually, before the beginning of [Jiazi Jingxiang], all the great sects in the world will open their mountain gates and open their altars to worship heaven, also known as [Little Jingtian]..
Back then, Fang Xian Sect opened the Dragon Tiger Dao Altar during the [Little Respect to Heaven] period, which became the blessing of the Wang family..
"Now that [Little Respect to Heaven] is around the corner, your Wang family will probably have to exert all their strength…"
Shen Xiaolou glanced at Wang Hun..
Dragon Tiger Dao Nine Families, Wang Family is only the middle three families.
Once Little Jingtian starts, no one knows whether they can climb higher or fall down or even fall out of the altar..
Therefore, everyone in the Wang family wanted to show off their style at this [Little Respect to Heaven] so that they could become famous in Jiangzhou and become the protagonist of the next era..
"Why are you telling me this?"
" I mean you have to earn more money…" Shen Xiaolou grinned..
"If your family declines, you have to leave a way out for yourself..”
" That's why I came to you…" Wang Hun lowered his voice." Can you steal one or two treasures from your Spirit Inspection Department's [Anti-smuggling Treasury]…"
Merchants in the world circulate, especially natural treasures, precious medicinal herbs, and strange things from the mountains and seas that are used for cultivation... all need to be bought and sold according to the channels stipulated by the imperial court, and taxes must be paid..
However, now that the Great Zhou Empire was gradually declining, the control of the central government was no longer as strong as before. Smuggling and trafficking were rampant..
There are many experts in Jianghu. They not only sell rare drugs privately, but also kill people. They rob people by force. I don't know how many big cases they have committed..
One of the most important duties of the Red Guards that Shen Xiaolou belongs to is to suppress smuggling. They have intercepted a lot of smuggled stolen goods in their treasury..
" What are you talking about? If you want to suppress smuggling and return it to the public, it belongs to the imperial court. As a member of the public, I should be impartial and law-abiding, strict and self-disciplined…" Shen Xiaolou said with righteousness..
" I can give you benefits…" Wang Hun whispered..
" The laws of the imperial court cannot be abolished. As a…how many benefits can you give me?"
Shen Xiaolou's voice came to an abrupt halt. He approached and asked in a low voice..
"With the resources I can mobilize now…"
Wang Hun thought for a moment and gave a quotation." Thirty catties of refined rice, two hundred catties of rice, one hundred and twenty catties of sorghum rice…"
" You f * cking traded agricultural and sideline products for treasures in the Anti-smuggling Treasury!?"
Shen Xiaolou slammed the table, his eyes wide open. He could not believe it..
" You're using this to test an imperial court official? Which imperial court official can't withstand such a test?"
