Chapter 125

"Taoist priest, please have a green fragrance." a white haired old man gently put a silver or two on the offering table and respectfully said to a kind middle-aged Taoist inside.

"Father-in-law, take your incense. The immortal family has a saying: keep good thoughts and fulfill people's wishes. Be kind, hardworking and frugal, and enjoy a long life. If you honor the immortal's words on weekdays, you can live a long life."

The middle-aged Taoist put away the silver and put it into the box at his feet. Most of the square wooden box has been filled with white silver. Then he turned around and took a green incense from the incense room behind him, smiled and handed it to the old man.

"Thank you, Taoist priest." the old man took Qingxiang with both hands and thanked respectfully.

The old man held Qingxiang high and squeezed out the messy crowd. During this period, he was careful for fear that the Qingxiang in his hand would be squeezed out. This two foot green incense cost one or two silver. It was saved by frugality and diligence on weekdays.

"Dad, this way." a bronze young man stood outside the hall. Seeing the old man crowding out the crowd, he waved and shouted.

"Xing'er, don't shout loudly." when the old man approached, he scolded in a low voice.

"I see, Dad." the young man touched his head and said awkwardly.

They walked quickly to the huge double eared Unicorn incense burner. There was a thick circle of people around the incense burner. They waited for a long time before they lined up in an empty position.

The old man gently threw the two foot green incense in his hand into the incense burner. He saw that the green incense turned automatically, floated straight in the incense burner from top to bottom, floated to an open space on the stove surface, fell down and inserted it in the incense burner. Then something more magical happened. Qingxiang spontaneously ignited without fire. The incense head showed red light and began to smoke.

The old man and the young man put their hands over their heads and half bent down to worship in the furnace. They looked pious and worshipped nine times before they stopped. The people around were burning incense and worshipping like the two.

The old man's name is Lu Yong. He is an old fisherman living near Fusha lake. The bronze man named Lu Pingxing was Lu Yong's youngest son. When Lu Yong was nearly 50 years old, his mother-in-law became pregnant and gave birth to Lu Pingxing. In his later years, he had a son. He was naturally spoiled on weekdays.

The huge double eared Unicorn incense burner is filled with Gao Xiang, which is divided into three types according to its height and size.

It is a kind of high fragrance with a cyan surface. It is two feet high and about the size of one finger wide. It is commonly known as green fragrance. For a green incense, you need to pay a silver or two of incense money to the Taoist temple. Most civilians will invite a green incense when they come to the temple to worship.

Another kind of Gaoxiang has a red surface, five feet high and three fingers wide. It is commonly known as Xixiang. A sweet incense needs to offer a hundred liang of silver to the Taoist temple. Only rich people come to the temple to worship, will they invite a red incense.

The last kind of Gaoxiang is purple on the surface. It is one foot high and shaped like a sea bowl. It is very huge. It is commonly known as Shouxiang. A piece of longevity incense needs to donate ten thousand liang of silver to the Taoist temple. Only people with great wealth and prestige come to the temple to worship, will they invite a piece of longevity incense.

At this time, in the middle of the two eared Kirin incense burner, three longevity incense sticks stand side by side, proudly standing among the incense sticks. There are thousands of red incense sticks around, holding three longevity incense sticks. The fireside is full of green incense, which is burning rapidly. The whole two eared Kirin incense burner is full of smoke and incense.

The two eared Kirin incense burner is a delicate magic weapon. It is not aggressive. It belongs to the auxiliary function magic weapon. It can automatically ignite the high aroma in the furnace and control the combustion time of high aroma according to the quantity of high aroma in the furnace.

When it was a auspicious day in the temple, there were a large number of tourists. The incense was filled with incense burners and a long line of people worshipped.

At this time, the Taoist in the temple will accelerate the burning speed of Gao Xiang in the furnace. A green fragrance can be burned out as soon as possible. It can be seen by the naked eye and is very magical. If there are too many pilgrims in the temple and there are too many pilgrims to worship, the burning speed of Xi Xiang and Shou Xiang in the furnace should also be accelerated.

"Taoist priest, when the child is old enough to receive Jian Yueling's Pendant, please take it to the back hall." Lu Yong called a young Taoist with a beautiful face and said respectfully, pointing to Lu Pingxing.

"Father-in-law, I can't afford to be a Taoist priest. I'm just a little Taoist. Just call boy Qingyun." the little Taoist hurriedly replied.

"Big brother, follow the path! Let's go to the Xiangyuan hall behind us." Qingyun said with a smile.

"OK." Lu Pingxing replied nervously.

"Dad, I'm going. You're waiting for me outside." Lu Pingxing said to Lu Yong and followed the little Taoist walking to the back of the hall.

On weekdays, Gaoyang temple is only open to Gaoyang hall and front yard. Special auspicious days will allow tourists to enter other palaces behind Gaoyang hall. Lu Pingxing can only go to Xiangyuan hall because he wants to receive Jian Yueling's Pendant. His father Lu Yong can only stay in the front yard and wait.

They walked out of the back door of Gaoyang hall and went to the antique Xiangyuan hall on the left. Xiangyuan hall is more than half smaller than Gaoyang hall, and it doesn't carve beams and embroidered columns like Gaoyang hall, showing a pure and refined atmosphere.

"Brother Lu, sit here and wait for a moment, and then a senior brother will call." little Taoist Qingyun took Lu Pingxing to the hall of Xiangyuan hall and pointed to a row of benches.

"Thank you, Taoist priest." Lu Pingxing thanked and went to an empty seat on the bench to sit down.

Seeing that Lu Pingxing sat down, little Taoist Qingyun turned back to Gaoyang hall. He had to help greet other pilgrims, but he didn't dare to be lazy.

There are rows of wooden benches in the hall of Xiangyuan hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people waiting at the same time. At this time, because it was early in the morning, there were not many people waiting in the hall. There were only more than ten people, all young people, who were very cautious and dared not talk to each other, so they looked very quiet.

While Lu Pingxing was waiting, he saw a little Taoist in the hall from time to time. He called the people who came before him and went to several wing rooms on both sides.

"Brother, please follow the path." half an hour later, a little Taoist came to Lu Pingxing and said.

"Please sit down, benefactor. What's your name? My surname is Meng. Just call me Taoist Meng." Meng Shengming said to Lu Pingxing with a smile and raised his hand to signal Lu Pingxing to sit on the wooden chair opposite.

"My name is Lu Pingxing. I've met Taoist Meng." Lu Pingxing said respectfully after sitting down.

"Brother Lu is here to get Jian Yueling's Pendant? Can you show me the official and civilian card? I need to confirm it." Meng Shengming asked according to the process.

"Taoist priest, please look." Lu Pingxing took out the prepared official and civilian cards and handed them to Meng Shengming.

"The people's livelihood of Hongyan village, fushahu, Gaoyang City, Gaoyang Prefecture, Luping County, began in the 32nd year of the beginning of the year."

Meng Shengming took over the small rectangular iron plate. The front of the iron plate was engraved with the above words, and the back was engraved with the official seal of Gaoyang city. After confirmation, Meng Shengming returned the iron card to Lu Pingxing.

When the people of Takakura reach the age of 15, they need to apply for the people's license at the local government. If you refuse without reason and fail to apply for a civilian license in time after reaching the age, once investigated and dealt with, you will be convicted of a felony and sentenced to 10 years of hard labour.

Lu Pingxing was born in the 32nd year of Zhengshi. This year is the 52nd year of Zhengshi. Zhengshi is the year, so he is just 20 years old and meets the standard of receiving Jian Yueling pendant. At the same time, it also meets another condition for receiving Jian Yueling pendant, that is, it must be from Gaoyang city.

For example, yannancheng civilians are also under the jurisdiction of Gaoyang Prefecture, but they can't get Jian Yueling's Pendant in the temple. The conditions are extremely strict, and the secular civilians can't understand it. The people in the other five cities of Gaoyang mansion complain a lot.

Every once in a while, some newly distinguished families in the five cities will jointly write to the governor of Gaoyang, asking Gaoyang temple to give up this extremely unfair condition and issue Jian Yueling pendant to the people in the other five cities. But every time I write a book, it is like a stone sinking into the sea, there is no news, and I can't get any response.
