Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 109 Red Dust Treasure: Ten Thousand Houses of Lights

The green groves on both sides of the strait look like a shovel, covering the clouds and mountains facing each other late.

Looking at the sky independently from the bow of the ship, the sun is shining brightly and the waves are eye-catching.

Standing on the bow of the boat, blowing the cool autumn wind, looking at the pier in the distance, Jiang Xuan's heart moved:
"It is said that Yunmengze is a perfect circle as a whole, with a diameter of about 6283 kilometers, which means a circumference of [-] kilometers."

"Let the "Qinglong" drag the boat for five days, sailing almost 500 kilometers a day, and it seems that it is time to arrive in Jersey County."

While thinking, Jiang Xuan tapped the deck of the cabin with his toes, and then the boat flew towards the pier like an arrow off the string.

As they got closer, Jiang Xuan could see the pier more clearly.

The wharf in Jersey County is much larger than that in Sixi County, and there is an endless stream of people ashore.

Bullock carts pulled loads of supplies out of the pier, and Yamen guards patrolled the street with knives and looked at every passerby. Some grass thief was caught, begging others to raise their hands
Porter, coachman, peddler, boatman, beggar, merchant.
Etc., etc. exist, and jointly construct this lively and noisy picture.

However, the commotion on the pier quieted down as Jiang Xuan gradually approached:

"A guru is coming, everyone make way."

As the loud roar came from nowhere, a [-]-meter-long waterway opened up beside the pier, and the yamen servants drove away the hawkers on the shore, leaving an avenue with the same width.

Looking down at the black Taoist robe on himself, Jiang Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly.

The difference between a fairy and a mortal was so nakedly laid out in front of him.

Even if he is not an immortal yet, he is just a little Taoist who has entered the Taoist realm.

"Welcome Guru to Jersey County."

As his cruise ship docked, those yamen servants bowed their heads and yelled out words that seemed to have been rehearsed a thousand times.

With a light flick of the fingers, the "green dragon" emerged from the water, and after shrinking, the ring landed on Jiang Xuan's index finger.

Seeing his Dao skills, the eyes of those yamen servants suddenly brightened.

Then, the moment Jiang Xuan stepped onto the pier, a purple-robed yamen servant broke away from the team and ran to him with a bow:
"Master, are you visiting or passing through Jersey County? Do you need us to help you keep your cruise ship?"

Seeing the humble appearance of the yamen servant, Jiang Xuan was silent for a while and then said:

"Passing by, the cruise ship is for you."

The yamen servant showed a hint of joy when he heard the words, and then said loudly:
"Master sent a cruise ship to Jersey County."

After saying that, the yamen servants waiting on both sides spoke in unison:
"Thank you master for giving me the boat."

As some sounds fell, the purple-robed Yamen servant who was the leader said next to Jiang Xuan:

"Master, do you need us to help you arrange a vehicle to enter the county?"

"Besides, the Drunken Immortal Building in the county is specially opened for those who practice Taoism like the master. It is only open to people like the master and does not charge any fees."

"No. 20 every month, the magistrate will also hold a treasure appraisal meeting in Zuixianlou. At that time, most of the masters in the city will gather in Zuixianlou to exchange their needs."

Seeing the yamen servant chattering out a series of messages, Jiang Xuan's thoughts also began to spin rapidly.

"The magistrate of Jersey County is also a talent, and the means of winning people's hearts can be regarded as good."

"According to the thinking of modern people, the actions of the dock servants are naturally embarrassing."

"But if we look at it according to the thinking of the ancients, wouldn't the yamen servants just give them face by doing this?"

"With a good impression, if you talk about Zuixian Tower, most monks will probably take a look."

"However, there are still six or seven days before NO.20. I'm going north to Beijing. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Zuixian Tower."

"On the contrary, if the time is right when I come back, I can go shopping by myself."

The thoughts in his heart kept turning, and Jiang Xuan, who had made up his mind, waved his hand at the yamen servant:

"I have something to do now, so I won't go to the county seat."

"Farewell to the poor."

After all, he didn't care about the astonished yamen servant, and directly turned Ah Huang back into a tiger, jumped on its head and went straight into Qingming.

"Farewell to the master."

Hearing the shouts from the direction of the pier in the air, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but patted his forehead.

This set is really similar to Hai Mou's previous life.

After getting away from the pier, the little tiger lowered his body. After Jiang Xuan put on a Confucian uniform, he let the little tiger hide his body, and then walked towards the county seat of Jersey County alone.

He had to go to Jersey County to buy a car.

Whether it is a carriage or a car with four wheels, he is not going to go to the capital by himself anyway.

"Appreciate~"

"Scholar, where are you going? Do you want the old man to give you a ride?"

Not long after walking, Jiang Xuan heard an old but angry voice from beside him.

Turning his head to look at the white-haired but extremely strong old man wearing a mandarin jacket and carrying an ox cart, Jiang Xuan smiled and got on the ox cart:

"Then thank you, old man."

The old man waved his hand:

"Thanks for what?"

"Being convenient to others is convenient to yourself. Maybe one day, scholar, you just happen to help the old man?"

The old man driving the ox cart was very talkative:

"Do you know, scholar? Last night, a master came to borrow candlelight, saying that he wanted to use the lights of thousands of families to refine some worldly treasures."

"Old man, I thought that what the master said was sincere, so I let him enter the room to get a candle."

"And guess what?"

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Xuan immediately entered the mode of flattery.

"Later, the master caught a big mouse like a calf at the old man's house."

"Big mouse?"

Jiang Xuan continued to laugh.

"Yes, big mouse."

"I don't know how the old man's house has such a big mouse. It was hidden in the rice jar and it was still undiscovered."

"If it weren't for the master, the old man's family of nine might have been poisoned by that big rat."

"But apart from that guru, I have to thank the county master."

"If it weren't for the county master advocating Taoism, we in Jersey County wouldn't have so many masters here."

"Look at this cart of firewood I'm pulling, it's going to be sent to the county grandpa's house."

"The master killed the big rat and left. The old man couldn't find anyone, but he couldn't bear to thank you."

"So old man, I thought of the county magistrate"

Riding an ox cart and following the old man, a quarter of an hour later, a tall city wall came into Jiang Xuan's eyelids.

Seeing the long queue at the gate of the city, the old man stopped the ox cart and said to Jiang Xuan:
"Scholar, the old man will send you here."

"Guru, martial artist, and you scholars can go directly to the gate and enter the county town without waiting in line with us. Old man, I won't waste your time."

Glancing in the direction of the city wall, Jiang Xuan then reached into his cuff and took out two "Tales of Town House":
"Old man, these two talismans are my thank you."

Seeing that the old man was evasive and refused to take it, Jiang Xuan put the talisman on the cart and jumped off the cart:
"Old man, you also said on the road that meeting is fate, and if fate is fate, give me a ride."

"Since we are so destined, I will give you two talismans, and you can just accept them."

"After taking the talisman back, hang it on the door frame. A talisman will keep your family safe and healthy for a year."

"If the talisman turns into flying ash and dissipates for no reason, then go to the Taoist monastery to find the guru."

After saying that, Jiang Xuan waved his hand at the old man, and walked straight towards the county seat.

As the old man said, since there is a destiny, why not give him two talismans.

Of course, the talisman sent by Jiang Xuan was not of perfect quality, but only slightly better than the talisman sold by ordinary Taoist temples.

If he was given that kind of perfect talisman, he was afraid that the old man would encounter trouble, and he was also afraid that trouble would entangle himself.
