Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 41 Entanglement

Guo Shao was willing to take care of this matter in person, partly because Yulian had been favored by Yuzhen Temple, and because the temple was just a few streets away from home, but the most important thing was: Yulian said that the name of the temple owner was originally Jingniang.

With an attitude of respect and anticipation, he rode past. The main reason is to see Jingniang, if there is any help within his capacity, Guo Shao is willing to help.

A very ordinary Taoist temple, there is a courtyard gate at the gate, and you will face the main hall when you enter. Guo Shao suddenly had a feeling: this Taoist temple is neither fish nor fowl. At least the layout of the Taoist palaces I saw when I was traveling is completely different from here; especially the main hall, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the structure of a Buddhist temple.

For the convenience of pilgrims worshiping the gods and "giving money", they put a clay statue of a god in the middle of the main hall, and set up futons in all directions. Guo Shao took a few glances with great interest, and saw that the "business" was not bad. There were pilgrims kneeling on the futons, and there were some waiting behind with incense sticks. Most of the pilgrims were women; this was probably the advantage of the Taoist temple opened by female Taoists. Perhaps women felt that female Taoist priests felt more secure.

The expressions of those pilgrims were very pious. They closed their eyes and meditated on something silently, then kowtowed and worshiped the gods.

Humans are indeed social animals, and they are easily influenced by the atmosphere of the group. Even Guo Shao had a thought in his heart when he saw them being so devout: There really are no gods, right? Regardless of whether there is or is not, it is better not to have a blasphemous heart, and it is better to believe what is there or not to believe what is not... It is true that sometimes people's success or failure cannot be estimated at all, it just depends on luck, and mysterious things are so magical.

At least a lot of ancient people believed in the fact that there are gods standing above the head. Even Guo Shao was not completely exempt from the vulgarity.

In addition to kneeling to the gods, there are also Taoist priests who set up booths to ask for talismans beside the gate. Guo Shao remembered the Taoist talismans he brought to Gaoping and Jinyang, so he asked for them here, right?

When Yulian asked for amulets, she also recited silently in front of the statue, praying devoutly, right?

Looking at the scene in front of him, Guo Shao thought to himself: This is what the Queen Mother teaches. It makes sense to say that they make money illegally, but it doesn't look like a cult.

Guided by a middle-aged female Taoist, Guo Shao passed through the front hall and the middle hall, and then entered a gate guarded by people. Once inside, he saw only Taoist priests coming and going, but no pilgrims. The surrounding buildings didn't look very elegant, the bronze tripod in the middle seemed to be made of copper, the female Taoist priest led him through the courtyard, up the stone steps, and stood in front of the door of the upper room.

"Benefactor Guo has arrived." The female Taoist said. No one responded inside, so she called again, and finally heard a "hmm", which made Guo Shao's heart skip a beat, why did the women inside speak in such a tone?

The door was pulled open with a "creak", and Guo Shao froze there. I saw a beautiful woman with a blushing face standing in front of her. The woman was tall, wearing a plain white dress, her clothes were disheveled, her neckline was ripped into a mess, her plump and white skin was slightly exposed under her collarbone; what was more unbearable was that the fabric of her blouse was stretched high...The clothes were thin, her body was extremely hot, her face was rosy, and her eyes were full of spring, she was really indescribably enchanting.

Without saying a word, she pulled Guo Shao in. Guo Shao didn't pay attention, and his whole body stuck to her body.

A scent came to the nostrils, the smell was very light, but distinct, very special, I couldn't think of the smell of rouge pollen at all, maybe it wasn't rubbed on at all, but the unique smell of women exuding from her body. Through the clothes, Guo Shao could still feel her hot skin.

He was suddenly extremely embarrassed, and his body immediately stiffened.

"Female benefactor, please be self-respecting... No! Lay Buddhists, don't do this..." Guo Shao said nervously under embarrassment.

But the woman hugged him tightly and refused to let go.

Guo Shao wanted to push her, but she was still strong enough to hold her so tightly. If he stretched out his hand to push her, he would definitely pull her together. He spread his hand to express that he didn't want to moleste this woman, and quickly turned around and said, "Pull her away, who is she?"

At this time, three women who appeared to be over forty years old came in, but they didn't move at all. One of them said, "Is the holy lady possessed by a god?"

After hearing this, Guo Shao called her a holy aunt, secretly thinking that this might be the master of the temple, and suddenly realized: "She must be eating some kind of elixir, and she is unconscious! Help me."

But they completely ignored Guo Shao's request, and another person said instead: "Close the door, and don't let others see it."

Guo Shao was puzzled and said, "What's the situation?"

One of the middle-aged Taoist priests made a mess of mystic reasoning: "We must not oppose what the holy lady wants to do, and we must not disobey what the holy lady wants."

At this time, the woman holding him in her arms was rubbing his chest, and her red lips were also printed on his neck. Guo Shao said anxiously: "You want to sit and watch her be stained innocent?"

The three middle-aged women looked at each other, and said humanely: "Why don't you pull it away first and then explain to the holy lady."

They came up to pull the two of them. After getting help, Guo Shao heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't intend to pretend to be a gentleman, let alone have a gentleman's heart... It's ancient times, so of course he wants to do as the Romans do.

He tried his best to resist, which was the reason he said, and he really didn't say anything nonsense:

Is Jing Niang really the Jing Niang he had heard of in his previous life... Probably, it was rumored that she had something to do with Zhao Kuangyin, and her name was Jing Niang, which was really a coincidence. Jing Niang in the story is a woman who is willing to commit suicide by jumping into the lake! Such a person, if Guo Shao tainted her innocence the first time they met, I'm afraid it would be very troublesome.

In the tugging of several people, Guo Shao's clothes were all torn, and four women and one man were twisted together in a mess, and their hands and feet were in a mess.

At this moment, Guo Shao suddenly felt a tightness in the back of his neck, a cloud of white mist rose up in front of his eyes, and he lost all strength.

...

When he woke up, he found that the female Taoist priest in the room was gone, and there was something soft on his body, and he immediately realized that there was a woman lying beside him. He turned his head and saw the holy lady curled up on the wooden couch, still asleep.

Her long hair was disheveled, her eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she was breathing evenly. He was still wearing the white dress, but it was a mess; Guo Shao looked down, and suddenly found a red blood stain on the white dress, and his mind was shocked!

He was startled and thought to himself: Damn! Didn't taste anything, did this cause trouble?

Something must have happened to this holy aunt before, or she took some pills. If she was really a woman who messed around the first time they met, how could she still be innocent? Judging by her appearance, she is at least in her twenties, and she was already old in ancient times.

A woman's innocence is still very important. Guo Shao realized that the matter was not trivial, and seeing no one around, he carefully checked the marks on her body. It was indeed that she had just broken her innocence...it should be him.

Can you explain this clearly?

Guo Shao was upset, and felt that it was like this anyway, why not do it again...

But it was broad daylight, and he didn't know if anyone would come in, when the plump woman who was sleeping would wake up, so he gave up. I quickly got up and tidied up, and felt that I should leave this place first... After all, it was on their territory.

Guo Shao felt that this matter was indeed a bit serious, and thought to himself: What is the relationship between Zhao Kuangyin and her? Will he settle accounts with me? !

When he returned home, he walked back and forth a few steps. There were only four people in the house. Distraught, he wondered whether he should gather his own troops to the house to prevent accidents. After thinking about it, I feel that it is too courageous to dispatch troops in fear when something happens; this is Tokyo, and there are government shops on the streets, so I can calm down for a while and see the situation.

So he only sent Blacksmith Huang to invite Zuo You.

...

Zuo You arrived that afternoon. Guo Shao invited him into the living room, but he didn't say anything about his innocence. He just said, "There is a Taoist temple near here, called Yuzhen Temple, which once showed kindness to my family's Yulian. Now because those Taoist priests didn't have a certificate, the government wants to demolish the house and disperse the Taoist priests. But as far as I know, the Taoist temple took in some homeless women. Not only is it harmless, but it is also a good deed. If they are violently dispersed, they will lose their livelihood. I want to ask for help. They are interceding, how does Mister Zuo think we should proceed?"

Zuo You said: "This kind of matter should be handled by the official of the Kaifeng Mansion, and it is a trivial matter. It is a bit of a fuss for the lord to go to other people. I used to be a small official in the Kaifeng Mansion and knew some people. Although the officials may not take me as a small official in their eyes, but it is not the same now. I can use the name of the lord to go to the official of the Kaifeng Mansion."

Guo Shao murmured: "What is the relationship between Kaifeng Mansion and the inner palace, and they don't know me, so they will take it seriously..."

Zuo You smiled and said: "Of course it doesn't matter...but why did the government offend the lord? The officialdom in Tokyo, both civil and military, is in the same court. If the lord really wants to take a civil official, there is a way. Don't you know Xiang Xun? Isn't Xiang Xun close to the prime minister Wang Pu? Also, the house that the lord lives in now belongs to the Fu family. Those who are interested should pay attention to this. Therefore, no one wants to offend you for no reason; On the one hand, it's not a big deal that can't be done, and it's a little effort to ask for personal favors, so why not do it."

"It makes sense." Guo Shao nodded.

Zuo You said calmly: "Leave this matter to me, and there will be a report within three days."

Zuo You got up and left the living room. As soon as he left, Blacksmith Huang came in: "There is a woman in front of our house, standing there, asking her what's the matter but not answering, I don't know what she is doing, it's very scary!"

Guo Shao asked, "Only one person?"

Blacksmith Huang nodded and said, "She's the only one. She's standing on the street. She's not doing anything. It's not easy for me to drive away. Why don't Guo Lang go and see if she's someone you know?"
