I didn't intend to be a Fairy

"Taoist, Mistress Sanhua seems to be poisoned."

"Mash glutinous rice soup is indeed poisonous."

"Ah? Why didn't you say it was poisonous last time?"

"Miss Sanhua, go to sleep."

Song You bent down and grabbed her and lifted her up, and she was also very honest, her limbs hung down naturally, her tail was raised up to protect her privacy, the obedient Taoist picked her up and stuffed it into her bag.

Then poked out a head and looked around.

As Yanzi said, Qingxiao Temple is not far away, and a group of people have already arrived at dusk.

I saw a round hill in front of me, surrounded by farmland. At this time of year, no grains are grown, but water is stored to raise the fields. The good fields are connected into one piece, and the red clouds in the sky The complete reflection is inside, which is a beautiful rural beauty.

"It's so beautiful..."

A maid's exclamation came from behind.

Seeing Song You's gaze, she smiled and said to the Taoist: "Before we arrived in Changjing, we often saw such beautiful scenery. Naturally, it is different from this one, but it is also beautiful. Unfortunately, when we arrived in Changjing, it was like It's like being trapped, and I haven't seen it for a long time."

"You two are free."

"May I be free forever."

The maid said with a smile, sitting and dangling her feet.

Song You withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.

There is a road that passes through the paddy fields and leads directly to the hill. One person, one horse, and the carriage behind them pass by. The water on both sides reflects the complete sky, and the red clouds are everywhere, as if walking in the sky.

The carriage had to stop at the foot of the mountain, and the two masters and servants got down and walked up the mountain together with the Taoist.

The Taoist temple is not big, and the mountain gate is old, with a sense of time.

On the top, there are three characters of "Qingxiaoguan".

There are still door couplets written on both sides, which are very common Taoist door couplets:

Heavy rain, no moist grass roots;

The law is lenient, and it is necessary to save people with a heart.

Song You stood at the door and took a closer look.

I have been down the mountain for six and a half years, and I have visited many Taoist temples, and I have seen this couplet several times, but the font of each couplet is different, and the time is new and old, and the charm is different.

The door is open, still welcoming guests.

Song You stepped in with a bag on his shoulders.

The Taoist temple is not very big. As soon as he entered, he met a young Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was also stunned when he saw him and the two beautiful women walking behind him.

"This priest..."

"My surname is Song Mingyou, from Yizhou. I have a relationship with Taoist Master Yunzi of Qingxiao Guanmu. Yunyou passes by, so I'm here to visit."

A three-colored cat's head protruded from the bag on his body, staring at the little Taoist priest blankly.

"The Taoist priest knows my master?"

"Two or three months ago, in Peach Blossom Village outside the capital, my Tong'er was invited by the government to go out to eliminate demons, and I had a fate with my respected master." Song You said with a smile, "Master Mu Yunzi has profound cultivation and outstanding virtues. I have heard his name in other places."

The young priest was taken aback when he heard this.

At this moment, a swallow flew over lightly, soundlessly, and landed on the door tile behind the Taoist.

"It's you……"

The young Taoist priest finally made up his mind, quickly recovered from his daze, but was a little more flustered, bowed his hands respectfully, and saluted: "Really, please wait a moment, the poor Taoist will go and invite the master here."

"Fellow Daoists don't have to be like this. I'm here to visit Taoist Master Mu Yunzi because of my reputation. I'm here to repay the fate, and I'm also here to beg for food and accommodation."

"Okay, okay..."

The little Taoist was at a loss and ran away quickly.

"The head of the Taoist really has a lot of face..."

Behind him came the voice of a maid smiling.

"Don't be rude."

Then the woman scolded softly.

The Taoist listened, but pretended not to hear it, and turned to look at the small Taoist temple.

There is a courtyard in front of the Taoist temple, and directly opposite is the main palace, which is dedicated to the gods often offered by Taoism. Due to the differences in folk customs and temples in different places, there is a separate temple on the left, which is not much smaller than the main palace directly opposite. , the gods of Leibu headed by Zhou Leigong are worshipped, which means that this temple is dedicated to the God of Leibu, and on the right is a small temple with a height of half a person, dedicated to the local God of Fortune.

Song You took two steps slightly to the left and looked at this separate temple.

The temple also has a door couplet, which reads:

If the heart is evil and remote, it will be of no benefit to let you burn incense;

Standing upright, it doesn't matter if you don't worship me.

The Menlian is brand new, as if it has just been written.

There is a row of statues of Leibuzheng gods inside. There should have been ten statues including Fu Leigong, but now that Fu Leigong has been beheaded, there are only nine statues left. The one in the middle is taller and bigger, and the statue is also brand new. Look at the god sitting on the altar with a big horse and a golden sword, condescending, glaring at the bottom, full of majesty, not Zhou Leigong, who else?

Song You raised his head and looked at him.

Presumably, after Zhou Leigong was promoted to be the chief official of the Lei Department, the palace temple re-made a statue of the chief official for him.

Most of the leagues are changed in this way.

While watching, Taoist Mu Yunzi came to greet him with two apprentices.

"I don't know the arrival of my lord, and I will welcome you far away."

"Don't dare." Song You quickly withdrew his gaze, turned around and returned the salute, not daring to neglect at all, "I take the liberty of visiting, I should ask my fellow Taoist for my sins."

"Your Majesty has come, and the succulent is shining."

"I don't dare to take the word Zunjia." Song You said, "This is because I admire the Taoist priest's virtue and cultivation, and I happened to travel, so I came to visit the Taoist priest. If it is convenient, I will ask for a meal and stay overnight. If it is inconvenient to pay homage to the gods in the Taoist priest's contemplation, you have to come and see the Taoist priest in person."

"Naturally, it's convenient! It's just that the rooms and tea and meals in the view are crude, so please don't dislike them!"

"My surname is Song Mingyou, and I don't have a Daoist name yet. The Daoist is older than me, and he is my senior." Song You said, "Taoism is free, just call me Daoist friend."

"Poverty Mu Yunzi."

"This time I also brought my Tong'er and my Yanzi." Song You reached out and touched the little head protruding from the bag, "and the two friends behind him, called..."

Song You turned around and looked at the two behind him.

"Wan Jiang met the Taoist priest."

"San San, you're being polite..."

"Several please come in quickly."

Taoist Mu Yunzi invited them into the hall, and quickly ordered the two apprentices to cook, while he stayed to entertain them.

Just facing Song You, he didn't know what to say.

"Speaking of which, when I came to Beijing from Jingzhou to Angzhou four years ago, I passed by Donghe County. At that time, I heard that there was a Taoist temple in Donghe County, which was quite effective. However, it was rainy for days and I was anxious to step on it It's time to go to Beijing to meet the old people who are waiting in the capital, but I didn't come to visit until now." Song You opened his mouth first.

"Fellow Daoist, are you traveling around the world?"

"Exactly."

"Where is this going?"

"Going south."

Song You chatted with Taoist Mu Yunzi.

Miss Wanjiang sat beside her quietly, only listening carefully, and sometimes looked at them with a smile, giving people a feeling of listening intently. The maid was still standing behind her, but lowered her head and revealed the The cats on the head looked at each other and kept exchanging glances.

Sanhuamao was already dumbfounded, and just stared at her in a daze.

As the sky was getting darker, Dao had dinner with lanterns, and then rested for a day in the guest room arranged by Taoist Mu Yunzi for them.

Early the next morning, people went up the mountain one after another.

After breakfast, Song You looked at the divine book at the entrance of the Taoist temple.

There are many gods in the Heavenly Palace, civil and military priesthoods, major departments, and many separate system gods. They are in charge of many aspects. Even the largest temple in the world cannot enshrine all the gods. Often, different temples in different places worship different ones according to their needs. No matter how small a god is, there must be a temple with his statue in the world.

Generally speaking, regardless of the major temples, the main gods of the Tiangong must be offered, this is the form.

In addition, according to local beliefs and main gods, different gods will be enshrined, either placed next to several main gods, or like Qingxiao Temple, a small temple is set up for the righteous gods of Leibu.

These gods are the main gods enshrined in the temple.

It is also the Taoist inheritance of the Eight Classics, and the gods who can be contacted and invited when there is something to do in the temples of the gods.

But what about the rest of the gods?

There is a book of gods, which is a list of gods.

It records all the gods, big and small, with names and priesthoods in the Tiangong. It is updated regularly under the instructions of the Taoist ancestral court and the temple department in charge of religious sacrifices under the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court. If a pilgrim who comes to offer incense can't find the god he wants to worship in the Taoist temple, he takes the book of gods, finds the god, turns to that page, and puts it on the altar, it's the same.

Song You slowly turned the pages and checked them one by one.

Some of the god books have pictures of gods, while others only have names and brief biographical introductions, and are in charge of priesthood.

There are more and more pilgrims coming to the Taoist Temple.

Most of them went to the temple on the left to worship Lei Gong, but there were also many people who would stop by to enter the main hall, out of admiration, to pay homage to a few more great main gods, but they obviously didn't stay for long.

The smell of incense sticks wafted into Song You's nose.

The sincere prayers of the pilgrims seemed to turn into whispers, and together with the scent of the incense stick, they floated to Song You's side.

"Lei Gong has appeared..."

"The villain is going to Jingzhou to do business, please bless Lei Gong, don't encounter monsters along the way..."

"Emperor Chijin bless my son to recover soon..."

It seems that quite a few of them came here to fulfill their vows, other than to pray for safety and recovery from illness.

These days, pilgrims offering incense to gods are also very targeted, probably because there are really gods, so everyone knows which god is in charge of what, and if there is something related, they will go to this god specifically, so many gods or Whether it was done by himself or by the temple, in order to gather incense, he began to put many priesthoods that did not belong to him on the gods, so that the people would come to worship him.

What if the relevant gods cannot be found?

Most people will go directly to worship the Lord God.

Just like now, in the Qingxiao Temple, there is no god who specializes in managing diseases and diseases, but only those who manage blessings and misfortunes. When everyone comes to pray for health and recovery from illness, they all go to the Chijin Emperor in the middle.

Song You's face was calm, and he continued to read the book of gods.

"He Xianweng, whose surname is He Xinlai, originally descended from the stars in the north, and was an official until the prime minister of Dayan. He was an upright official all his life, loved the people like a son, saved the world, and finally completed his deeds. After his death, he returned to the fairy class and served the north. Yunxian Weng, in charge of the fortune of the world."

This is that He Xiang.

The so-called Xingjun went down to save the world and returned to the fairy class after death, it is all nonsense and deceiving the world. But it is true that He Gong has become a god.

Why is it called Xianweng?

It's not that he is a fairy but not a god, but that he doesn't have a specific priesthood. The so-called being in charge of the fortune of the world is actually a nice way of saying it, basically it's useless to pray.

"Wow..."

Song You turned to the next page.

At this time, there were more and more people in the Lei Gong Temple in the courtyard, even crowded together, and there were still people coming in an endless stream, which aroused his attention.
