Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Jingniang left Daxiangguo Temple and returned to her Yuzhen Temple.

She went back in a sedan chair carried by two people, and she looked a bit like a Taoist priest. She wears a veiled hat and a white gauze to cover her face; she wears a wide avenue gown with a picture of the Eight Diagrams on the back.

If it wasn't covered by this wide avenue robe, her bee-waisted, tall and plump alluring figure would probably be too eye-catching.

Yuzhen Temple is not far from Daxiangguo Temple, and it is not easy to have a small piece of land in this area; if she had not received financial support from Mrs. Huarui when she was practicing in Mount Emei, she would not be able to build this Taoist temple, and she would have no place to gain a foothold in Tokyo.

Many years ago, Jingniang's father was a guest of a big merchant in the south, so she met Semu people from afar when she was a child. The Semuren brought all kinds of gods, but she didn't believe in them all; the reason for her disbelief was simple: she didn't think the Semuren's gods could control the affairs of the Jade Emperor Taishang Laojun.

The big merchant that his father worked for was rich and unkind, but he was still willing to defend his master at all costs. He told Jing Niang: If one lives and lives alone, one must be the master of everyone; if one cannot be the master, one should be loyal to the only master regardless of everything. Don't be half-hearted, and don't ask why. Only by living like this can one have a home... Her father may not know that the seeds have been planted in the heart of young Jingniang by leading by example in every word and deed, and they are slowly taking root.

After Jingniang grows up, she can't change herself. In her heart, the most important thing in her life is to choose a master, and then entrust her to her lifelong loyalty and loyalty until her death. In order to be extremely loyal, this person must of course be the husband, saving everything.

That's why she followed Zhao Kuangyin for no reason, because she decided to follow him that year.

At that time, Jingniang was rejected. After returning home, she wanted to show her aspirations by dying, but later she left home to find Zhao Kuangyin with a little hope...but Zhao Kuangyin never agreed, and only let her be a righteous sister.

...

Perhaps because of being stimulated, Jingniang later did some strange things that made Zhao Kuangyin stay away even more.

She tried to establish Yuzhen Temple in Tokyo, and accepted a group of women as Taoist priests.

Few of these women are normal; if they were good-looking and good-looking, I am afraid they would not go to this broken Taoist temple to seek peace, and they would not believe in the Queen Mother's religion. Among these people, some were ignorant and ugly women, like the black woman who delivered letters to Jingniang, her hands and feet were as thick as Zhao Kuangyin's; What happened to those people was similar to that of Yulian, and they all had bad lives anyway.

These women who are almost abandoned by the world and unable to survive, Jing Niang does not dislike them, and takes them as her own, and makes everyone get along like a family under the same happy dream. Because of the constant chanting of words to praise the "Holy Lady" every day, believers now have no doubts about Jingniang's deified status, and believe that she is a fairy next to the Queen Mother who came down to earth. If it is devout, everyone can become a fairy, with the beauty of a fairy, living in a fairy palace with Qionglou Yuyu, and having rich clothes and food. Anyway, in the fairyland in the clouds, there are only flowers and joy; there is no abandonment and persecution.

The government has never asked them much. If it wasn’t for the emperor’s decree to destroy those redundant temples and Taoist temples to save resources, the government probably wouldn’t bother to take care of Yuzhen Temple... because they really didn’t do anything bad, and they didn’t force good people to join the religion;

Once the government wanted to send people to disperse them, but two people committed suicide on the spot, saying that if they wanted to leave the holy lady, they could only die. The people in the government hurriedly gave up and calmed down.

...When Jingniang entered the backyard of the Taoist temple in a sedan chair, everyone was still sitting cross-legged in the courtyard respecting the sky. There was a bronze tripod in the middle, surrounded by green smoke.

There were forty or fifty people reciting. Jingniang was able to support dozens of people almost from scratch, and she did not do anything illegal, which is considered very capable.

When everyone saw Jing Niang appearing, they hurriedly prostrated themselves beside the sedan chair, shouting, "Holy Lady!"

Jing Niang didn't need to respond, she entered "Guan Nei" without saying a word: the house where she practiced fairy arts. Then summoned the four guardian plums, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums to enter the customs to discuss opportunities.

Now Jingniang is sullen and confused, like a rootless apple floating on the water, Zhao Kuangyin seems to have completely rejected herself, but she doesn't know if there is any room for redemption, even a little hope can make her feel better. This matter can't be figured out for a while, but the immediate matter is imminent: if no one helps from the government, the Yuzhen Temple that has been built so hard will be demolished.

"Zhao Kuangyin doesn't want to contribute." Jingniang told her staff bluntly.

The protectors are all good-looking, and Jingniang doesn't want to see ugly people around her as servants all day long. When they heard this, they also became worried, and one of them said: "What should we do! If the Taoist temple is demolished, everyone will have no place to live, and no income... How will a total of fifty or sixty people survive?"

The four discussed for a while, but were at a loss. So many people have no place to live, and they have to sit and eat. They are all women, so what they can do is indeed a very headache and serious practical problem.

At this moment, Protector Mei said, "Do you still remember Yulian who lived in Yuzhenguan for several months?"

Everyone expressed that they still had impressions, but they didn't know what Hufa Mei meant by mentioning her, so they hurriedly asked.

Guardian Mei seemed to have forgotten her troubles, and her eyebrows beamed when she started gossiping: "When Yulian was in the Taoist temple, she mentioned a small imperial army school called Brother Shao. You may not know about it, but I love to inquire about these interesting things! Why did Yulian live and go back? Because Brother Shao came back and was promoted to a high-ranking official. The next day, he took a hundred people to the market to marry Yulian. The scene was called a big one, a hundred cavalry guards! So what kind of official did Brother Shao get promoted...the inner palace is the capital of Yuhou, and the governor of some prefecture. Isn't it young?"

Someone blurted out: "Yu Lian is like that, and there are still high-ranking officials who are willing to marry? What is your name, you are not very old?"

Protector Mei said: "I'm not sure about that, anyway, Yulian has already lived in the former Fu family's courtyard, not far from here; I heard that the courtyard was awarded to Brother Shao by the empress herself."

Immediately, several people felt that there was a solution, and one of the women immediately said: "Yulian is here with us, and she is treated well. If you ask Yulian, ask her to ask brother Shao to help us take care of it in the government, maybe Yuzhenguan will be fine!"

Even Jingniang thought it was a good idea to give it a try. According to her experience, if a Taoist priest fools a noble lady, it is very likely to succeed. She ordered Protector Mei to handle the matter.

After the subordinates left the Dao Pass, Jing Niang's distracted attention returned to Zhao Kuangyin. She recalled what Zhao Kuangyin said before several times in a row, and she was even more heartbroken.

Something seemed to be slowly collapsing in her heart... She didn't believe in the queen mother and saintess, and she didn't know what she was living for. She took off the Taoist robe on her body, which was a plain white "fairy dress" with patterns, and lay down on the wooden couch weakly, not wanting to do anything.

...

She fell asleep exhaustedly, and woke up in a tangled mood again.

It's better to obey Zhao Kuangyin's words, hand over the temple master to his subordinates, and go home and forget it. But when Jing Niang thought of her bad reputation in her hometown, she didn't want to go back. what should I do?

Feeling uncomfortable, she thought of the "Wangyousan" refined the month before last. The elixir is not good for the body, but it will feel light and comfortable. This is an ancient book of the Wei and Jin Dynasties that she got from Mount Emei, and she refined it according to it; it is said that celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties have nothing to do all day long, and they eat this kind of "Wangyousan" to make them feel happy. Jingniang thought that taking too much of this elixir is not good, but it is a good medicine when you are suffering, so just eat less.

When it hurts, it's now. Jing Niang has almost no pressure, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, she simply doesn't worry about it after eating to death.

She got up and took a pill, poured water and swallowed it. But she didn't feel it for a while, and she was not afraid of anything, so she ate two more.

After taking three Wangyousan pills at a time, the effects of the medicine began to take effect after a while. A blush gradually appeared on her face, and a bewitching smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. It was light and light at first, and then the medicine became stronger and stronger, blurring her vision. She didn't know that she was in the mortal world at all, she just felt that she had already entered the fairyland; she had completely forgotten who she was and what she was doing, and she had a faint feeling in her heart that happiness and worry-free are real, while the world is just a dream.

At this moment, a woman's voice outside the door said: "Holy aunt, things are going well. Yulian promised me that she will find a way to help us and repay the kindness of taking us in. She has already persuaded the benefactor Guo, but the benefactor Guo said that he is worried that we are some kind of cult; he does not want to help the tyrant, and he said that he must first figure out our affairs before he is willing to help...Although we have done nothing wrong, we have no official orders!"

There was no response from inside, and the woman outside the door said again: "Why don't you invite him to come over and have a look with your own eyes? It depends on whether he believes it or not."

Jing Niang, who was half lying in the room, didn't know what the people outside the door were talking about. She couldn't even figure out what Yuzhen Temple was.

When the people outside the door heard the response, they said, "I understand, so I'll invite him over right away. This is to let Benefactor Guo understand that we only did good things, but we didn't do bad things!"
