Chapter 0009: County Magistrate

The moon sets in the west at night, and the Beimang Mountains remain calm under the night sky.

In the mountain temple in front of the ancient Wei battlefield, on the broken walls, the handwriting is hidden in the shadows, but there is a clear literary atmosphere, reflecting the walls.

Mingjun pulled the cart and reappeared outside the temple gate. The Golden Armored Divine Man entered his own realm in the mortal world and stood in front of the wall poetry, pondering.

Entering the temple, the Golden Armored Divine Man immediately felt like he was trapped in a membrane that seemed vague, isolating all discomfort outside.

Temples are the dwelling places of gods in the mortal world, which have a good protective effect, although most of this protection has been removed now.

The Golden Armor Divine Man didn't pay attention, just watched the words on the wall.

It's okay with the sacrificial text, but the level of redness, and this sacrificial poem has a faint green light accumulating and operating in the poem, but it's elusive.

The so-called famous poems that have been passed down through generations can only quickly gather fortunes if they are widely spread. Now, this poem can only recover very slowly.

However, for the gods, this is not a problem. What the underworld lacks the most is time, and what it lacks is the finishing touch that is in line with divinity.

After pondering for a moment, it suddenly had a movement in its heart.

At this moment, it was raining outside, and the sound of raindrops came through the door. I don't know how long had passed, but the Golden Armor Divine Man slowly exhaled and said, "Ye Qing... hehe

I had a premonition that I would wake up from my slumber in three years. I didn't want to be three years earlier, and there was such a good starting point

Since that's the case, why not just lend a helping hand? "The Golden Armor Divine Man smiled, furrowed his brows and pondered. In a moment, he held a green pen in his hand and casually added the signature on the right side of the poem: Ye Qing!

These two words, which are identical to other words, vaguely reveal a taste that is difficult to describe and directly attract people's attention.

One third of the fortune you wish for is in this signature, to help you overcome this small difficulty. "The Golden Armored Divine Man took a step, and the wind blew over the curtain, and his figure disappeared into the temple of the mortal world.

The next day, Shandao

At this moment, the sparse autumn rain falls in the cold wind, creating a desolate and melancholic autumn scene.

A ox cart was patrolling from west to east under the protection of eight guards, and arrived not far from Jiaomen Township. The leader of this patrol was Mr. Yin, who had already soaked his clothes and was dissatisfied, but dared not show it. Looking from afar, seeing someone coming to greet him, he felt relieved.

The county magistrate has a sudden urge to patrol the county in this weather. We are tired and have to endure the rain and wind. Fortunately, we have arrived here

At this moment, more than ten people had already stood on the flat ground in front of the village, all dressed neatly and eagerly waiting under the guidance of a middle-aged man. As soon as they saw this ox cart, they immediately welcomed it up.

Kowtow to the county magistrate! "The group bowed on the grass in the rain.

With a creaking sound, the ox cart stopped, the curtains lifted, and the county magistrate walked down from inside. This person was about thirty years old, wearing a high crown, with a fair complexion and three strands of black beard under his jaw, and indeed had aura.

After taking a glance, he waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, sir. Please welcome me from afar, Captain Gao. This is your mistake

What the adult said is... but since taking office, he has been a clean and upright official, and we have all benefited a lot. This inspection of the nine townships in the county is even more diligent for the people, and we all strive to see the noble face of the adult in person... "said the village chief respectfully, and at this moment, all the township elders also agreed.

Seeing this, the county magistrate's heart was as clear as a mirror. He saw that everyone was still half bowing and making an invitation, reaching out to help the two elderly villagers get up and walk towards the inside.

This is the third township on the inspection road, and he hopes to see some improvement.

At noon, the county magistrate was persuaded by the village and went all the way to a gentry's house. He entered three courtyards three times, and at this time, two chefs were busy preparing dishes on the table. When someone arrived, it was almost done.

When the county magistrate looked at it, he saw that there were seven or eight dishes, Twice cooked pork, chicken and duck, and other vegetarian dishes on his table. Although the style was not very good, the aroma was overflowing.

The tolerance below is similar in style, but it's for four people to have a meal. The neighborhood chief saw that the banquet was over and smiled, inviting them to sit down: "Please use chicken soup first. The village is poor, but these are for fattening up, just refreshing, please

The county magistrate glanced over and saw that it didn't exceed the specifications. He sat down and took a sip, praising, "Not bad

Seeing the county magistrate using it, it immediately became noisy. He ate a bowl of yellow wine and another bowl of chicken soup, and the cold air that followed the county magistrate through the autumn rain was immediately dispelled. His whole body warmed up, and he suddenly became energetic. At that moment, he was drinking and feasting.

Seeing everyone enjoying the incense, the county magistrate used some and pondered for a moment: "The biggest problem in this township is the lack of good farmland. Secondly, justice is inconvenient, and even if there are mountain goods, it is difficult to transport them out. Additionally, during the summer and autumn seasons, flood prevention measures are taken against mountain torrents... Fortunately, during the peaceful season, if the weather is not good, it is not surprising that the local people are strong and fierce, leading to the emergence of mountain bandits

However, this fair construction is not within my authority at this time. It requires the permission and implementation of the county lord. "After a slight sigh and a slight wave, an old servant stepped forward and said," Sir, what do you want

Later, I'll give you a few taels of silver, "the county magistrate said calmly.

Yes, sir

After finishing the banquet and taking breaks for various business trips, accompanied by a few scholars from the village, these people were quiet and indifferent, and the county magistrate sighed in his heart at the mysterious door of the Tao.

The Three Classics and Five Classics lead to great paths, but these people have read books to death, or just for the purpose of becoming officials. No matter how much they read, they will not see any wisdom, so what is the benefit.

Just as an old scholar surnamed Zhao said, "We are elegant and cannot go without a trip. Seeing the clouds and rain dissipate, why not go on a trip together? How about that

But he wanted to indulge in mediocrity, "the county magistrate chuckled to himself. At this moment, a maid behind him was a bit anxious and wanted to stop him. The county magistrate had already seen him and waved his hand.

This is the maid sent by the clan to serve him. Everything else is good, except that she has received strict orders from the old lady and is still concerned about his daily routine. At this time, she has to take a nap for a while.

As soon as you enter the officialdom, it's as deep as the sea, without any substance, how can you make it to the world? And don't be fooled by the superficiality of these gentry, they are all powerful figures in the village, so there is no need to be unfamiliar with them in small matters.

What Mr. Zhao said is that traveling in autumn is an elegant thing. Qing'er, please accompany us out

The maid Qing'er was speechless and had to order two people to accompany her. For the aristocratic family, these children are far more reliable than the guards on duty in critical moments.

After the rain, the sky is clear, shining on the mountains. The autumn sky is clear and refreshing, truly extraordinary!

Sir, the scenery for sightseeing is not found in the mountains, but when it comes to historical sites, there is one. Going downhill from here, there is a deserted temple not far away. Therefore, according to legend, it is the ancestral temple of a great general from the previous dynasty, who also showed his spirit in the past... "Gao Lichang led the way, and unconsciously, the group approached the valley!

At this moment, a gust of wind swept by. Although there were historical sites here, they were unheard of. The county magistrate leaned in and became interested, saying, "Go take a look

Yes! "The two of them held knives and cut open the dead branches. This was the last stretch of mountain road, and they were about to go up.

Slow down! "The county magistrate looked at the valley and felt it, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, showing seriousness:" This valley is not a good place, and the Yin energy is not conducive to the people. Why isn't the valley entrance sealed in the village? There's not even a warning sign

Upon hearing the county magistrate's question, the tone was not good, and sweat immediately seeped out of the high neighborhood chief's forehead. He quickly bowed and explained with a full smile, "This is a must pass path for villagers to collect herbs, but it is difficult to prohibit. Moreover, as long as we enter the mountains at noon and leave before the sun sets, there will be no problem

We will also give more advice to the villagers and prevent them from entering the valley at night. However, this is a livelihood plan for the people in the mountains and cannot be forcibly stopped. Moreover, over the years, everything has been peaceful

The county magistrate was taken aback, and doubts arose in his heart. In this world, Taoism and Legalism are prominent, and the imperial examination system is based on the Taoist scriptures. Half of it is for the court, and the other half is for ascending to immortality.

Of course, achieving immortality is difficult and mostly a dream, but becoming a scholar or a successful candidate requires varying degrees of cultivation. When the county magistrate looked around, he saw the cold wind in the four fields, a desolate and desolate place.

The county magistrate furrowed his brow and thought to himself, "This place is full of yin and evil, with five types of harm invading each other. But the so-called defeated place has evil energy flowing through the ground. This is the element of dispelling evil, and I'm afraid it will breed many demons and ghosts. Even if the mountain people leave before sunset, they may not be able to resist. Why is it nothing

At the moment, he didn't show any signs, just nodded and sighed, "The livelihood of the people is difficult

Just went up, and in a moment, the ancient temple was revealed, with a flat turtle carrying a stele carved like a sword.

The county magistrate looked at it and thought to himself, "Is there a temple? Is the secret here

I didn't rush into the temple immediately. I carefully stepped forward and identified the stone tablet. Although it was weathered, it was still faintly discernible. Being able to become a county magistrate was extraordinary. After thinking for a moment, I remembered it.

The battlefield of ancient Wei... let me think, this is the land where General Zhang fought without a trace! "The county magistrate was startled and said

Realizing the true spirit, the military soul will not perish, and it can suppress this place, preventing this evil energy from taking shape! "Thinking of this, the county magistrate couldn't help but understand and frowned," This is a contribution to the local people

Thinking about it, looking towards the temple, the sun was shining brightly and I could see clearly that the temple gate had collapsed due to years of disrepair. Within the three walls, I could faintly see that the two tall clay statues in the middle were mottled and worn, and closer up, they were covered in moss.

This temple has been lacking in worship for a long time! "The county magistrate sighed inwardly when he saw that the temple was in ruins.

After Taoism ruled the world, Shinto still exists and prospers, but it is the same as the status of the gods inside Buddhism. The gods of Shinto are hard to last, and only immortals (Arhat Bodhisattva) can last.

For millions of years, the Dao Jun and the immortals in the heavenly court have ruled the world, towering high above, while the gods and humans below have changed countless batches.

Knowing that this is necessary for the operation of the great road, these revered deities also have a metabolism. Seeing this withering, the county magistrate still felt a few strands of sadness.

After all, immortality is the privilege of a few people, and what most officials seek is to be granted titles by the court after death, in order to be listed as a square god. Now that this is happening, it naturally gives rise to a sense of sadness and sorrow.

But precisely because this is a fundamental issue, in the process of the rise and fall of gods, everything must be carefully considered, and it is not something that can be changed by the district or county magistrate now.

With a sigh, the county magistrate put away his thoughts and stepped forward. There was nothing else he could do, at least he could offer a stick of incense.
