Chapter Twelve: Enrollment

After leaving Tianshui Lane, passing through Shiya Street, then passing Shenjingfang, Zhengfu Street, Qintai Road, and finally coming to Dongzheng Street.

The four main streets in the southeast, west and northeast are four main streets that run through Jiren County, and are cut into four pieces in a cross shape.

Sizheng Street is also the most spacious road in Jiren County. For example, Dongzheng Street in Sizheng Street is three meters wide.

When Wan Qing arrived here, it took a lot of time, the sky was already bright, and the morning sun was shining, bringing warmth to people in the early winter.

Dongzheng Street is already very lively at this moment, with shops on both sides of the street and pedestrians coming in endlessly.

The famous Zhangmazihu ​​cake shop in the county has a wide door. There are more than ten partners working hard. They are divided into three processes: rolling noodles, making cakes, and entering the furnace. Two or three people are responsible for each. There are already assembly line operations, and there are also many customers in front of the door, including single food to take out, and small retailers who are waiting for bulk sales;

Mengyuan Teahouse has also opened a shop, and a group of people watching the fire building are sitting there, laughing and scolding, eating a few snacks, drinking another cup of tea, refreshing and preparing to deal with the business of the day;

The guy at Zhao Guangde's deer jelly was slowly paving the underground door panel and preparing to open the shop, but the deer jelly in this shop was so dark. "Wan Qing" once followed Tang Ming to send dead mules to this shop for venison...

Wan Qing walked on Dongzheng Street. In front of him, three or five men were talking and walking side by side. In the back, there were firewood sellers who came to the city to sweat and gasped. On the left was a farmer's wife carrying a child with a face full of vegetables and looked around. It seemed that she was the first time she went to the city to look for relatives. On the right, she walked past a two-person slide rod. On this simple sedan chair, a rich man in a brocade robe was sitting, wrapping his fur tightly with his eyes closed, and resting.

What I smelled at the tip of my nose was that there were various food fragrances, animal feces, and sour smells of walking by. What I heard in my ears were various hawking sounds, talking loudly, and crying for children...

Suddenly, there was panic in front of us, and the crowd dispersed. Three men wearing red and black round-necked uniforms rushed to the front, carrying buckets, knives and axes, and were rushing, and someone conveyed the news.

"Water walks on Yilou Street!"

Jiren County has set up many fire-watching buildings, responsible for supervising the fire situation in the city and full-time fire fighting.

The group of Wanghuolou commoners who were drinking tea in Mengyuan Teahouse rose up one after another, leaving one to pay the bill. The rest of them complained and cursed, and scattered in two piles. One group followed the three men and the other group ran towards the nearest Shuanggui Lane Wanghuolou...

The morning sun filled Dongzheng Street, unbiasedly falling on everyone's face, crossing a layer of golden light.

This is the morning in Jiren County.

...

Walk west along Dongzheng Street, and at the end, you will see the branch of the Xizhen Sect Jiren County.

The Xizhen Sect Jiren County Branch is located at the center of Jiren County, at the intersection of the four main streets in the east, west, south, north and north.

It is divided into nearby areas, with many shops, inspection and inspection warehouses, city affairs, residence halls, restaurants, inns, gold and silver ware shops, bookstores, incense shops, garment shops, village shops, mansion shops, news shops, and other items. They are all powerful merchants, with larger doors than the other, and the building materials are mostly bricks and stones, supplemented by wood.

The traffic here is also the largest, and it is even more lively than Dongzheng Street, with traffic and endless flowing. In the morning, there are already crowds of people.

This is the cbd in Jiren County...

Jiren Center, a prime location, with a lay-in place in your hands, and you can live a worry-free life.

Wan Qing stood at the front entrance of Fenguan, looking around, feeling deeply moved. As he walked, he kept walking, his body was very warm now, and his back was slightly sweating. However, he was weak now, and he just walked over the road, feeling panting and sore legs.

I really became a sick person, and I don’t know how long it will take to recover.

Wan Qing sighed for a while, then finally took a step forward and walked towards the Western True Sect.

The surroundings are surrounded by walls of more than one zhang high, and they circle a large area of ​​land. The main door is two zhang wide. It is now open, and there are two ear doors next to it, which are also open.

Although it was morning, there were already many incense crowds, and there were always people at the door. Judging from the style of clothes, there were people of all kinds waiting, including wealthy families who came by sedan chairs, as well as poor people wearing straw sandals and short brown cloth.

Wan Qing walked straight in, and there was a large courtyard facing him, which was a large incense burner half a person high, and there were many flowers, plants and trees around him.

When you walk straight through the yard, you will be the main hall, and only offer one god is the Queen Mother of the West.

The huge main hall is very deep and as high as two floors. The statue of Queen Mother of the West is placed on the Central Divine Platform, more than one meter high, with a solemn face, wearing a luan crown on the head, holding a jade ruler in hand, and wearing a mysterious robe. There is gold and powder all over the body, looking at it solemnly.

On the two cylinders on the left and right of the Queen Mother of the West, there are two vertical cards hanging, with the left and the left and the left and the right and the "The Queen Mother of the Supreme Saint Wuji" written on it. The two are combined together to be the full name of the Queen Mother of the West. The so-called "The Queen Mother of the West" and "The Queen Mother of the Queen Mother of the West" and the like are just the abbreviation of the Queen Mother of the Supreme Saint Wuji by the folk believers.

Wan Qing looked at the statue, smelled the fragrance of the thread in the main hall, felt the tranquility in the hall, and unconsciously calmed down slowly, feeling a peaceful and comfortable feeling.

Then he suddenly came to his senses and looked at the believers in front of him who were kneeling respectfully and bowing respectfully. He felt something: If others were like me, it would not be difficult to understand why there were so many believers in the Xizhen Sect.

This alone makes the mind peaceful and peaceful is already very attractive to many mortals with complex thoughts.

The incense here is for self-service and does not charge fees like some temples in later generations. So although Wan Qing didn't have a penny on him, he was able to go up and get three incense burns.

He knelt down on the cushion in front of him and bowed, burned incense, then stood up and walked to a Taoist who was standing beside him.

The Taoist was in his forties and was actually a Kun Dao (female Taoist), wearing a Taoist crown and a blue-black Taoist robe. Because the other party was a woman, Wan Qing did not dare to get too close, for fear of bad luck. Fortunately, the other party was old and did not look outstanding.

Seeing Wan Qing approaching her, she bowed slightly and asked, "Do you dare to ask the believers what they have to do with their teachings?"

Wan Qing said, "My name is Wan Qing, I'll look for Li Ran, the leader of the door."

After saying that, Wan Qing was still a little nervous. I wonder if Chen Chong and I have any advice now, I will come to report it.

Fortunately, the Taoist priest looked at him again when he heard this, and then said, "Please wait for the believer." Then, he called a Taoist priest and ordered him.

After Wan Qing waited here for a while, a Taoist priest in his thirties came from the back of the palace, with a poor appearance. After seeing Wan Qing, he looked around on his face, then smiled slightly and said, "But the Wan Family Dalang? I, Li Ran, Zuo Dianzao has given instructions, please follow me."

Wan Qing bowed and followed him to the palace behind.

Xizhen Sect is rich and powerful, and covers a wide area in this golden cbd area.

Li Ran led Wan Qing out of the main hall and walked through three large courtyards before stopping. The scenery was wonderful, each with rockery and flowing water, and there were many trees and flowers. Finally, the two turned into a small courtyard, stood outside the door and called out. After a sound came from the door, they led Wan Qing to open the door and walked in.

After entering the door, Wan Qing found that it was a house with a curtain on each side and the main hall in the middle was decorated in the form of a study room, with a desk, and one person was sitting behind it.

Li Ran greeted the man and led Wan Qing into the room at the left.

This is also a study room. The bookshelf, tables and chairs are much better than the one outside. There is also a pair of Guo Xi's "Spring Snow Picture of Guanshan" hanging on the wall. Whether it is the original work is unknown, the room is very warm, and it even feels a little hot for Wan Qing who has been rushing along the way.

Just behind the desk, a big man with a beard with big head and eyes, looking rough, wearing a Taoist suit, stretched to his body like a tight suit, quite funny.

There was a man standing next to the bearded man, wearing casual clothes and looking like an old farmer. It was Liao Gubei, Yunshuitang that Wan Qing had met last night.

"Zuo Dian Zao, Wan Jia Dalang Wan Qing brought it."

Liao Gubei took a look, nodded, and said to Zuo Dianzao: "This son is Wan Qing, the eldest son of Wan Family."

Zuo Dianzao was reading a book with a book. When he heard this, he glanced at Wan Qing without moving, and said to Li Ran: "Okay, you go out."

Li Ran should have gone out, and Liao Gubei stood aside and did not move.

After Li Ran left, Zuo Dianzao put down the book, took a book from the left desk, flipped it twice, rolled up his eyelids and glanced at Wan Qing, then his eyes fell back to the book in front of him, and slowly recited: "Wan's grand son Wan Qing, a native of Jiren County, Guangyuan Prefecture, Jinghu South Road, 22 years old, his third-generation ancestor was Mang, and he was a villager of Jiren County, Shangfang Village, who worked for the rest of his life... Wan Qing was a man with many bad habits, and was arrested repeatedly for stealing, extortion, fighting and other matters... In the 25th year of Shaoxing, he stole the household registration books and wanted to sell his sister Wan Sang in the brothel..."

Wan Qing stood in front of the desk and listened silently, sighing that the Xizhen Sect had a wide range of energy.

Not to mention himself, even his family background is clearly recorded here. In addition, he also noticed that when Zuo Dianzao read about his resume, his face looked ugly, and he didn't know whether he was showing his face for him or for Liao Gubei.

After finishing reading, Zuo Dianzao put down the book and stared at Wan Qing without saying a word.

Wan Qing didn't know how to go about this process, so he had to remain silent and remain motionless.

Zuo Dianzao stared at him for a long time before finally speaking again, saying, "The family background is still innocent, but the character is too bad..."

In fact, he had already read Wan Qing's resume and was very dissatisfied with him.

It would be fine if you have done some evil things. There are not people in the Western Zhen Sect who have had bad records, and there are even former Green Forest heroes who joined the Shifangtang. However, Wan Qing not only did evil to the outside world, but also to his family. He even wanted to sell his own sister to a brothel, which was the most despised by Zuo Dianzao.

What kind of man is this? He doesn’t even count as a man!

According to his idea, it is impossible for such a person to enter the Xizhen Sect to be appointed!

But helplessly, Chen Chong and Yili insisted.

Although he, like Chen Chonghe, is one of the nine deacons in Jiren County, Xizhen Sect, the power and status between deacons and deacons are different.

Yunshuitang is the most unique department of the Xizhen Sect. It is directly under the command of the abbot of every temple and is only responsible for the abbot and has a detached status. Not to mention his sacrificial house construction, even the existence of Sandu and even the sacrificial court cannot ignore the opinions of Yunshuitang. Moreover, Yunshuitang has several self-determination quotas for enrollment every year, which can be given without the need to be discussed by Sandu.

Chen Chong and Yili wanted to win over ten thousand green, and no one could refute it unless the abbot spoke, and Zuo Dian Zao was no exception.

He also thought about asking the abbot to argue, but when he went to find the abbot, he realized that the abbot had left early in the morning and said he was "going to Qilipu to inspect the academic affairs"...

Zuo Dianzao's mouth cramps and wanted to say, "You go back, we won't accept you." But when he said that, he changed his appearance.

"If you join my sect, you will not be able to do anything like your bad behavior in the past in the future. Otherwise, the abbot of this temple is selfless and will never be merciless! Even Master Chen can't protect you!"

He seemed to say this to Wan Qing, but in fact, what he really wanted to say was Liao Gubei and Yunshuitang behind him.

However, Liao Gubei didn't know if he didn't hear it or didn't listen at all. He stood beside him like a wood and his face did not change at all. Instead, Wan Qing replied in a slight voice: "Yes!"

Wan Qing didn't find it strange that a Taoist sect like Xizhen Sect called "abbot" was called "abbot".

The so-called "people's heart is in a small way, and the position of "ambustrator" is the highest leader of the Taoist jungle in all directions. Chinese Buddhism uses it as a reference for the title of position. However, due to the many film and television dramas in later generations, many people think that the abbot is just a Buddhist title, but Wan Qing just happened to have read related books and has some understanding of this.

Seeing that he was respectful, Zuo Dianzao knew that such people were cunning and could not believe in the superficiality, it was still good to have such an attitude.

Then, he followed the procedure and asked seriously: "Do you want to join the Western Zhen Sect?"

Wan Qing replied respectfully again: "Disciple is willing to enter."

Zuo Dianzao nodded, turned the book around and pushed it towards Wan Qing, "Then let's write it."

Wan Qing stretched out his thumb and pressed it hard in the red mud box beside him, and he was about to press it on the album page. However, when his thumb was two inches away from the page, he stopped. After two breaths, he finally pressed it heavily.

After everything was done, Wan Qing looked at the book and felt a little dazed.

Before, Chen Chonghe and him were just talking verbally. For a person like Wan Qing who came from later generations, this kind of real registration is still more recognized by him and the psychological impact is greater.

This step is to leap the dragon gate...

The Xizhen Sect has a transcendent status in the Song Dynasty. With such a firework layman, countless powerful and wealthy families try their best to get quotas and get people in every year. The monthly salary in the position is a trivial matter. The key is that this way it can be related to the Xizhen Sect, and it will be much more convenient to do things in all aspects.

As a result, this errand that countless people envied was obtained by him, the rogue who had no money.
