Daybreak.
Commoner Palace.
Shortly after dawn, Li Ziye, carrying large and small bags, led Nan'er and walked quickly outside the house.
From behind, Yu Qingxuan stepped to follow, holding his Qin in his arms, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
This was the first time she had heard of going out for an outing in the middle of winter.
Moreover, it is better to go to the temple of Houtu Empress.
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of the mansion, got on the carriage, and rushed towards the North City Gate.
"Bad guy, is there a temple of Changshengtian in the Central Plains?"
On the carriage, Nan'er asked curiously.
"No."
Li Ziye shook his head and said, "In the Central Plains, there are no people who believe in the Immortal Heaven. Let alone the Immortal Heaven, even the temple of Empress Houtu is rare."
When the Taoist sect was at its peak, there might still be some temples like Huangtianhoutu, but now it is estimated that not many are left.
Taoism has never cared much about things like incense. Many of those clay bodies were made by ordinary people.
Golden body?
nonexistent.
Don't have that spare money.
"My servant heard that the temple of the Empress Houtu in the north of the city was built by a kind-hearted member of the Communist Party of China with money. At first, it was just to build a shelter for the people who were displaced during the war. Later, I don't know how it shaped the temple of the Empress Dowager. The clay body of the Earth Empress has become a back-earth temple." Yu Qingxuan explained softly.
"Good people."
Li Ziye heard this and said with appreciation, "If there are more kind people like this in the world, the lives of the people will not be so miserable."
How different is Lao Li, who can only get in but not get out, a typical nouveau riche!
After returning to Yuzhou City, I must criticize him.
"Ah sneeze!"
In Yuzhou City, Li Baiwan looked at the newly built porridge shed in the city. He was about to say something when he couldn't help but sneeze.
Which grandson would scold him!
"master."
From the side, the old housekeeper walked quickly and said, "There are too many refugees and not enough rice!"
"Go buy it!"
Li Baiwan gritted his teeth and said, "Also, go to our granary elsewhere to get food!"
"yes!"
The old housekeeper accepted the order and left in a hurry.
"It's my money!"
On the street, Li Baiwan looked at the nearly one-mile long queue in front of him and said with a pained expression.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Li?"
At this moment, Old Man Wu, who was out to get a drink, passed by. When he saw the head of the Li family in front of him, he smiled and said, "Why, you spent too much money, do you feel distressed?"
"Can you not feel bad? I earned all this money by breaking it in half with a drop of sweat."
Li Baiwan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not like you, an old guy, can earn thousands of taels just by making a seal."
"Won't your conscience hurt when you say these words?"
Old man Wu took the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip of wine, then handed it over and said, "Take a sip to drive away the cold."
"No more, my son won't let me drink."
Li Baiwan quickly waved his hand and said, "Let him know that I drink secretly. When he comes back, he will definitely not be done with me."
"Look at your courage."
Old Man Wu took back his hand and mocked, "Speaking of which, has that brat of yours not been home for almost two years?"
"Yes."
Li Baiwan nodded and said, "Midnight wrote that he would be back during the Chinese New Year this year."
As he spoke, Li Wanwan's eyes clearly flashed with longing.
Not only is the mother worried about her son traveling a thousand miles, but the father is also worried.
"It's not that my old man told you, what's the use of having such a big business when your children are not around."
Old man Wu shook his head with a look of confusion and said, "After leaving, Ruyu will be watching alone in the shop. I'm afraid that he will accidentally smash the shop, so I have to go back quickly."
After saying that, Old Man Wu didn't waste any more time and walked towards his blacksmith shop carrying the wine gourd.
I didn't realize that this Li Wanwan really looked like he could help the world at the same time.
I was mistaken before.
However, his three children are the truly powerful people.
I don’t know what kind of blessing Li Wanwan’s grandson accumulated in his previous life, but he actually has three such powerful children in this life.
People are so irritating!
At the same time, the great commercial capital.
Forty miles north.
In a place with beautiful scenery, a back-earth temple stands. Less than a year after it was built, its fame has spread to many cities around the capital.
However, due to winter, there were obviously fewer people coming to the Houtu Temple.
In front of Houtu Temple, Li Ziye and the others got off the carriage and walked towards the temple in front.
"Is it cold, Nan'er?"
Outside the temple, Li Ziye looked at the little girl beside him and asked.
"not cold."
Nan'er shook her head and said, "I'm just a little hungry."
"After worshiping Mother Earth, we will find a place to eat."
Li Ziye, carrying a big package on his back, responded, "I asked you to eat more in the morning, if you don't obey me."
"I just woke up and can't eat anymore."
Nan'er pursed her lips and said.
"Okay, let's go and pay homage to the Empress Dowager Tu first."
Li Ziye responded helplessly and did not dare to scold him.
Behind him, Yu Qingxuan looked at the reaction of the prince in front of him with a strange look on his face.
The prince is really unusually kind to this little princess of the Baidi tribe.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Houtu Temple together.
Perhaps because the three of them arrived early, there were not many people in the temple.
In the temple, a clay statue of the Queen stands. In front of the statue, there are a lot of incense and ashes. It can be seen that people come to worship every day.
Li Ziye looked at the statue of Houtu in front of him, bowed with his hands, then took out the incense he carried with him, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner in front of him.
On the side, Nan'er bowed in a decent manner and then offered two sticks of incense.
"Young man, to worship the Empress Tu, you must kneel down to show your sincerity."
At this time, an old man came and advised, "In this way, Queen Houtu can realize your wishes."
"Thank you, old man, for reminding me."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "I'm not here to make a wish, I'm just here to take the children to relax."
When the old man heard this, he subconsciously looked at the little girl beside him and praised, "What a pretty girl."
When Nan'er heard someone complimenting her, she smiled and said, "Thank you, grandpa."
The old man nodded, took the coarse cloth he carried with him, wiped the fallen incense stand, and said, "The world is getting more and more chaotic. When will this day end?"
Li Ziye looked at the old man in front of him and said calmly, "Pain is only temporary, peace will eventually come."
The old man looked startled, turned to look at the young man behind him, and said, "Really?"
"real."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "Isn't it that you, the old man, built this Houtu Temple to give the homeless people a place to stay? If Empress Houtu has a spirit, she will definitely understand your old man's painstaking efforts."
"An incredible young man."
After hearing the former's words, the old man showed emotion on his face and said, "The future generations are to be feared."
"May I ask, what do you call the old man?"
Li Ziye bowed his hands and asked.
"Xu Xian."
The old man replied.
Li Ziye's expression was suddenly shocked after hearing the answer of the old man in front of him.
Taoist branch, Xu Jingzhi’s descendant!
