Chapter 8 Erya
The sage king personally sent Yang Heng out of the door, and then returned to the main hall and sat steadily in the middle.
Butler Liu next to him quickly brought a cup of fragrant tea to Mr. Wang, and then stood beside him, looking like he was reluctant to speak but stopped.
Wang Dashanren drank tea, looked at Butler Liu's awkwardness and said directly: "What are you saying? Is it uncomfortable to hold it in my heart?"
After hearing this, Butler Liu felt a little embarrassed.
This is the wife of Butler Liu and Wang Dashanren - Mrs. Liu is a relative. If it were someone else, she would not have the courage.
"Master, isn't the temple blessings of the Land Temple only subsidized 500 cents per month? Why did you give this Taoist priest so much money?"
"I don't know! The one who saw the temple in the past said that he was bluffing fiercely, but he didn't have any skills. This Taoist priest is different."
When talking about this, Wang Dashan is really scared.
He has known the situation these days, and it must be that Aunt Qiaoyun who came to take revenge.
It's really a dangerous situation. If I hadn't happened to meet this Taoist priest, I'd probably have lost my whole family's life.
A capable and capable master (what Wang Dali thought) is not easy to meet him, let alone ask them to do things.
And this Taoist Master Xitan looks stupid and has never seen anything. He must have just gone down the mountain.
Such people should be more favored, otherwise, when he sees the world, he may not take people seriously.
After thinking about this, Wang Dashanren said to Butler Liu on the side: "From now on, what does that Taoist priest need? You can extract it directly from Curry, don't ask me."
"Yes, I remember what the master told me."
Besides, Yang Heng followed the servant out of Wang Dashanren's house and headed straight to the land temple in the middle of the village.
On the way, he met Wang Erdan, who invited himself to have the first meal in the world. Yang Heng also went over to chat with him for a few words.
Wang Erdan was also very happy to know that Yang Heng was left to guard the Land Temple by Wang Dashan.
He also said on the spot that after Yang Heng settled down a day or two, he would take his family to the Land Temple to watch incense sticks.
Yang Heng said goodbye to Wang Erdan, walked a few hundred steps away, and arrived at the Land Temple.
If you want to say that this Land Temple is pretty good, although it is just a courtyard house that has entered, it still covers a huge area.
The most important thing is that Yang Heng saw that this land temple should be repaired frequently and there was no sign of damage.
This made Yang Heng breathe a sigh of relief.
On the way he came just now, the wind was light on the surface, but in fact he was thinking about it. He was really afraid that the land temple would be broken and tiles.
When Yang Heng came to the main hall of the Land Temple, he saw a large, wide and long tiled house, which was in the center of the charitable Land God.
On the altar below, there are various fresh fruits.
Yang Heng felt a little strange when he looked at such a land temple. Compared with other land temples he had seen, this land temple was really luxurious.
Under the leadership of the servant, Yang Heng looked around the land temple and accepted it.
After sending the servant away, Yang Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood in the courtyard of the Land Temple and looked around, and finally smiled again on his face. He finally had a place to settle down in this strange world.
Yang Heng smirked in the yard for a while, and finally realized that he should do some serious business.
He first came to the main hall of the Tudi Temple, took the incense stick, lit it, and then placed it respectfully in the incense burner, then retreated to the altar and kowtowed to the Tudi Gong.
This is to move here by myself and say hello to the owner of the Land Temple first.
Next, Yang Heng arrived at the east wing, which was the bedroom that Yang Heng chose to choose from.
The beds and bedding here are almost all new. It seems that Butler Liu did not perfunctory the master and replaced all the daily necessities here.
The life of Tudi Temple on the first day was very dull. Perhaps everyone knew that he had just taken over Tudi Temple and needed some things to do, so he did not come to burn incense.
But the next day, villagers came one after another to burn incense and make wishes.
At this time, Yang Heng's work was here. He had to stand by the altar and act, and then say a few auspicious words to make the villagers feel at ease.
It was almost noon, Yang Heng was thinking about how to solve his lunch.
Although he had dozens of taels of silver in his arms, Wang Dashan also decided to give him two taels of silver every month, and there was no shortage of rice, flour, oil and vegetables.
But Yang Heng has always been the mainstay of eating in modern times. Even if these ingredients are placed in front of him, he will not be able to make them.
He endured it in the morning. If he didn't eat at noon, he would probably be hungry in the afternoon.
At this moment, Wang Erdan brought his wife to come over to burn incense.
Yang Heng could only stand in the hall with hunger in his stomach and wait until they finished burning incense.
Wang Erdan did not leave like other villagers after singing the fragrance, but instead pulled Yang Heng to chat under the eaves.
"Master, will you stay in our village forever?"
"I am worried about the old donor. There is no place to stay for the time being. Wang Dashan asked me to guard the Land Temple, which is also a place to make a living and sleep."
Wang Erdan nodded and said, "Master, didn't you eat in the morning?"
Yang Heng's face turned red when he heard this, but he still said honestly: "Strange Man Wang prepared rice, flour and oil for me, but I was too stupid and hadn't learned to cook and make a fire, so I endured this meal in the morning."
"How can this be done? You must know that people are iron rice or steel. You can't eat for a meal and be hungry. You can endure one meal or two. Like the Taoist priest, I see someone taking care of your life."
"What do you mean by that old man?"
"Look, I have a granddaughter who is quite diligent and is also the top leader at home and abroad. Why not just let my granddaughter come here to do chores, just take care of the meal."
Yang Heng was very happy at first, but immediately realized that he was very strict in preventing men and women in ancient times.
If this little girl goes to her temple to do odd jobs and is alone and widowed, once she stays in a long time, it will be hampered by her reputation.
So Yang Heng quickly refused, "This is not suitable for the old man. Although I am a Taoist priest, I am also a big man. I live in the same temple with a little girl. Is it not good to say it in the future?"
When Wang Erdan saw Yang Heng's rejection, he just sighed and said, "To be honest, my granddaughter is a tough life. The fairy girl from the other village said that if she is at home, she may have an hindrance to her family, so let us send her to the monks."
After hearing this, Yang Heng wanted to laugh. These ancient people were too ignorant. The words of a witch could make them abandon their flesh and blood.
If this little girl really follows what the fairy girl said and is sent to the temple, her life will be over.
"Mr. Wang, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. This is a fixed number. How can others interfere? The old man doesn't have to listen to the nonsense of the fairy."
After hearing Yang Heng's words, Wang Erdan still shook his head like a wave drum.
"You don't know that Fairy Wang is a capable lady, and what she said must be accurate."
Wang Erdan paused, then sighed and said, "Master, if you don't take my Erya in, I can only send him to the fairy girl Wang."
Wang Erdan's old wife suddenly knelt in front of Yang Heng.
"Master, please be kind and take my Erya in my village. She is in the land temple in this village. We can still see her at any time. If she is sent to Wang Xiangu in the next village, it will be difficult to meet again."
At this time, Wang Erdan also looked at Yang Heng with a begging look.
Yang Heng made the two of them have no choice but to nod and say, "Since that's the case, let Erya live in the west wing temporarily. If you figure it out in the future, you can take her back at any time."
When Wang Erdan saw that Yang Heng had agreed, he was immediately overjoyed and said to his old wife who was still kneeling there: "Go back quickly and bring Erya."
His old wife also left in a hurry with a smile on her face.
In a short while, Wang Erdan's wife brought a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.
They came to Yang Heng, and Wang Erdan's old wife patted the girl on the back, "Eya, kowtow to the Taoist priest."
The little girl looked at Yang Heng timidly, then knelt down on the ground according to her grandmother's wishes and kowtowed to Yang Heng repeatedly.
Yang Heng quickly stepped forward and helped the little girl up. Only then did he have the time to look at the little girl.
I saw that the Erya girl was wearing a patched coarse cloth clothes, but she was washed very clean, and she looked like a neat and clean girl.
The appearance of Erya also surprised Yang Heng. It turned out that Erya was not as Yang Heng thought. She was an ordinary rural girl, but she was very pretty. If she didn't know, she would think she was a little girl from the city.
Now this pretty face was covered with tears, looking at Yang Heng timidly.
Yang Heng sighed. This little girl is no older than her daughter. If it were in modern times, she would be at the age of having fun studying in school. In ancient times, she would have to leave her family and live alone in the temple.
Yang Heng touched Erya's head, and then said kindly: "You can live in the temple from now on, and this temple is only a few steps away from your house. If you miss home, go back and stay for a few days at any time."
After hearing Yang Heng's comfort, the little girl's eyes lit up. Then she seemed to remember something again. She glanced at Yang Heng timidly, and then asked in a low voice: "Is it really OK?"
"Of course, you can treat this temple as your second home, and you can change the two homes at any time."
Hearing Yang Heng’s promise, the little girl finally smiled, then looked at her grandmother next to her and asked her if this could be done.
Erya's grandmother first looked at her boss. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she smiled and said to Erya: "Since the Taoist priest said that, there is nothing to do. It's nothing to come back every few days to stay."
