"But what do I have to do with this!?"
He looked at Mr. Tan in confusion.
Mr. Tan said with a smile, "Building a temple and shrine for the old man Huang Daogong is a major event and cannot be sloppy. Therefore, I would like to ask a professional like you to preside over and guide the matters."
Mao Shanming suddenly understood that they wanted him to be in charge of building the temple and the shrine.
He frowned slightly. He wanted to help, but he was burdened with the punishment for doing a hundred good deeds, so he had no time to stay in Tanjia Town.
He glanced at Master Xu and his disciple, and an idea came to his mind. He couldn't do it, but Master Xu could do it!
Given Master Xu's character and expertise, as well as his sect's rule of not being greedy for money, it is most appropriate for him to help Huang Daogong build the temple and ancestral hall.
Mr. Tan rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Not only will I be in charge of the construction of the temple and the ancestral hall, I also want you to stay in the newly built Huangdao Temple as a temple priest and be responsible for all matters related to the Huangdao Temple."
He had witnessed Mao Shanming's abilities with his own eyes, and also learned that Mao Shanming had been blessed by Huang Daogong in a dream and had learned a lot of skills.
If Mao Shanming could be retained as the temple priest of the Huang Dao Temple, wouldn't that allow for a better connection with Huang Daogong?!
Mr. Tan had his own plans in mind.
Mao Shanming had no idea what Master Tan was planning. He just shook his head and refused, saying, "I'm not free. I can't do it."
He couldn't even spare the time to oversee the construction of temples and shrines, so how could he have the time to stay and serve as a temple priest?
Being a temple priest in Tanjia Town, he would have to wait till the end of time to complete the hundred good deeds required by Huang Daogong! ?
You are not allowed to do that. You are not allowed to do that.
When Mr. Tan saw that Mao Shanming was unwilling, he immediately said anxiously: "Master, we in Tanjia Town sincerely want to hire you to be the temple priest. Don't worry, the remuneration is guaranteed to satisfy you."
“It’s not about the money!”
Mao Shanming waved his hand and said seriously, "I have the responsibility given to me by Mr. Huang Daogong. I cannot stay in Tanjia Town for long."
"That's it!"
Mr. Tan was a little disappointed, but when Mao Shanming brought up Huang Daogong, he had nothing to say.
"I can't do it, but I can recommend you a master to help build a temple and shrine in Tanjia Town."
Mao Shanming chuckled.
"who!?"
Mr. Tan was full of curiosity.
"Far away, yet so close!"
Mao Shanming pointed at Master Xu and his disciple Zhang Dabing and said, "They are the masters I want to recommend to you. They are not ordinary people, but highly regarded masters in the Taoist community. With their help, there will be no problems in building the temple and shrine."
"These two!?"
Mr. Tan stared at Taoist Xu and Zhang Dabing in a daze. Seeing their tattered clothes, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"We can't. I have the Wanfu Charity Hall to manage in Shili Town, so I don't have the time to manage the construction of the temple and ancestral hall in Tanjia Town."
· ·········Request flowers···· ········
Taoist Master Xu waved his hands repeatedly.
Mao Shanming said to Master Xu in a tempting tone, "Hey, fellow Daoist, don't refuse. Let me tell you, helping Huang Daogong build a temple and a shrine is a great deed. When the Huang Dao Temple is completed, maybe Huang Daogong will be grateful for your contribution and summon you in a dream, and grant you magical powers and magic weapons."
"Can I be summoned by Huang Daogong!?"
When Taoist Master Xu heard this, his heart was immediately moved. He had also heard that Master Ren of Renjia Town received a large reward for helping Huang Daogong spread his faith.
If he could get an audience with Huang Daogong by helping Tanjia Town build a temple, he would do it no matter what.
"Master Tan, let me tell you, with this Taoist priest Xu's character and ability, he will be summoned by Huang Daogong sooner or later. If you don't recruit this talented person now, it will be impossible to ask Taoist priest Xu for help later."
Mao Shanming started bragging about Taoist Xu to Mr. Tan, which made Taoist Xu blush and feel embarrassed.
"real!?"
Mr. Tan was slightly moved.
"Of course."
Maoshan Ming is very sincere and does not look like someone trying to deceive people.
"Master, I believe you."
Mr. Tan had a look of joy on his face. He bowed to Taoist Master Xu and said, "Master, would you be willing to help us build a temple and ancestral hall in Tanjia Town, and then stay here to serve as a temple priest?"
Taoist Priest Xu bowed solemnly and agreed without any hesitation: "Master Tan, I am willing to take on this position!"
...... 0 ...
"Good good!"
Mr. Tan's face lit up with joy. Since Mao Shanming respected Taoist Xu so much, Taoist Xu must have extraordinary qualities. Now they couldn't keep Mao Shanming in Tanjia Town, but being able to keep Taoist Xu was an unexpected gain.
"Master Tan, Xu and my disciples live in Wanfu Yizhuang in Shili Town. When the town starts building a temple for Huang Daogong, you can come to the Yizhuang to inform me at any time."
Taoist Master Xu gave his address so that Mr. Tan and others could find him at any time.
"It's a word."
Mr. Tan nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself: The charity cemetery is really full of hidden talents. I heard that the person in charge of building a temple and ancestral hall for Huang Daogong in Renjia Town is also the caretaker of the charity cemetery.
Judging from this, this Taoist Master Xu is indeed a capable man.
So, Taoist Xu took on the position of person in charge of the Huangdao Temple, just like Uncle Jiu.
After Mr. Tan left happily, Taoist Xu immediately thanked Mao Shanming for his recommendation.
At the same time, he felt a little ashamed. He could almost be said to have taken everything from Mao Shanming.
He didn't know how to repay such a kindness, so he could only bow and tell Mao Shanming to let him know as soon as possible if he needed their help in the future. As long as it did not violate morality, they would never refuse, even if it meant going through fire and water.
Mao Shanming waved his hand generously and told them not to be polite, saying that everything was for the spread of Huang Daogong’s faith!
The two chatted for a while about the construction of the Zodiac Temple, and then Taoist Xu said goodbye to Mao Shanming. He had to take Zhang Dabing to the Zodiac Temple on the official road in Renjia Town to welcome Huang Daogong back to the Taoist temple for worship.
at the same time.
While the construction of the Zodiac Temple was in full swing in Tanjia Town, Mr. Ren in the county town also sorted out the religious affairs of the county and specially established a religious affairs management office to be responsible for managing various religious affairs, supervising the construction of the Zodiac Temple and spreading the belief in Zodiac Gong.
With the support of the county magistrate, Mr. Ren began to carry out drastic religious reforms, making the construction of the Zodiac Temple and the spread of the Zodiac Gong belief a top priority.
Because this matter did not involve the interests of other parties, there were very few wealthy people in the county who opposed it.
After all, it doesn't cost much to build a Zodiac Temple, and spreading the belief in Zodiac God is even more insignificant to them.
The wealthy people in the county basically remained indifferent to this matter.
It was precisely for this reason that Mr. Ren's promotion plan was able to proceed smoothly. The notice was sent to the various towns and villages below, requiring that at least one Zodiac Temple should be built in each town. The money for this construction was naturally raised from the gentry in each town.
Due to the different enthusiasm of the gentry in different towns and villages for this matter, the specifications and sizes of the Zodiac Temples vary greatly.
However, for the zodiac, big temples and small temples are the same.
Ultimately, the temple is just a way for him to spread his teachings. It doesn't matter how big or small, rich or poor, as long as the heart is sincere, the effect will last.
Chapter 122: Mamadi wrote to ask for help, Huang Daogong always responded to requests, and I would rather die than let my friend die.
In the charity cemetery of Renjia Town.
"Brother, please help me look after Jiale. This bastard likes to slack off whenever he has free time. You have to keep an eye on him and don't let him slack off."
"Don't worry, I will watch."
"Master, don't worry, I will practice hard!"
Taoist Simu rested in the charity cemetery for a while, then said goodbye to Uncle Jiu and went out with his clients.
He planned to send his clients to their respective homes, and then come back to move the temple and settle down in Jiuquan Town.
He is no longer short of money and no longer needs to work so hard to make money by driving corpses.
Uncle Jiu and the others watched as Taoist Simu shook the Sanqing Bell, scattered handfuls of paper money, and drove the customers away into the night.
“Let’s go back!!”
As Taoist Simu left, the charity cemetery suddenly became noisy.
Because Uncle Jiu had to supervise the construction progress of the Huang Daogong in Fugui Village and Renjia Town, and was also invited to the county from time to time to participate in the construction of the Huang Dao Temple in the county, he often left early and came back late, and was unable to control Qiu Sheng and the other three.
Fortunately, among the three, Wencai's character was greatly tempered after the incident of copying books in the Huangdao Temple, so even if he made a lot of noise, he would not go too far.
Jiale has a simple and honest personality. He knows when to do things and will not cause any havoc in heaven.
Qiu Sheng, on the other hand, has a lively personality, likes to play pranks, and occasionally gets into big trouble.
However, Master Ikkyu lived in the charity cemetery, and with him watching over them, these three "monkeys" could not cause any serious trouble.
At most, I would go fishing in the river, have a bite to eat in the mountains, or visit Yihongyuan.
Of course, they didn't go to Yihongyuan to do anything shameful, they just went there to watch a play and listen to the singing girls in Yihongyuan.
They dared not lose their virginity at will, otherwise if their master knew about it, he would definitely break their legs.
If they were dating normally, Uncle Jiu and Taoist Simu could understand, but if they dared to use their virginity on a prostitute, their master would be so angry that he would die.
Speaking of "903", after Huang Daogong's night trial of the villains in Baiyu Tower, the brothels in the entire Renjia Town involuntarily restrained themselves and focused on a consensual relationship.
There are many people who cannot survive these days, and many women end up in brothels.
Huang Dao noticed this phenomenon, but it was not a problem he could solve at the moment.
What’s more important is that the world is too bad, and the government in the world is not human, making this world a cannibalistic place.
Therefore, to change this phenomenon, the most important thing is that the world becomes better and the government is willing to make great efforts to rectify the situation.
Otherwise, even if Huang Dao destroyed the brothels under his rule, it would be of no avail.
The general situation in the world is like this. Huang Dao will only get no thanks for doing this. Now, being able to make the brothel madams and pimps restrain themselves and not dare to act recklessly is already his greatest kindness.
Now, the prostitutes in the brothels under his rule have been secretly worshipping his statue and completely regard him as their backer.
Huang Dao didn't care about this situation. He couldn't guarantee that everyone would get fairness, but at least he could support them so that they wouldn't be bullied too much.
The days passed so smoothly.
The entire county is building the Zodiac Temple in full swing, like clockwork!
As long as the Zodiac Temple is built, with Master Ren and others helping Zodiac to spread faith, the incense value and merit value of Zodiac will see a big leap.
Taoist Master Xu took advantage of his free time to go to the Zodiac Temple to ask for a statue of the God of Zodiac to take home for worship.
This also gave Huang Dao an extra piece of fertile land, allowing him to grow crops and sow the roots of the nine-eared grass more calmly.
As time goes by, the construction of the two Zodiac Temples in Renjia Town and Fugui Village progresses smoothly.
Among them, the Huangdao Temple in Fugui Village is almost completed because the temple is small.
And it was during these peaceful days.
Uncle Jiu suddenly received a letter asking for help.
It was a letter sent by his senior brother Mamadi. The letter said that there was a problem with Mamadi's corpse-driving, which led to their master and disciple being imprisoned. He hoped that Uncle Jiu could go and rescue them as soon as possible.
When Uncle Jiu looked at the contents of the letter, his mind suddenly flashed with the image of his extremely unreliable senior brother, and his temples couldn't help but throb.
Taoist Simu is not serious, and this Mamadi is just unreliable.
The Taoist names of their fellow disciples are usually given by their master when they start their apprenticeship. Uncle Jiu and Taoist Master Simu are given Taoist names such as One Eyebrow and Four Eyes basically because of certain characteristics on their bodies.
Mamadi’s Taoist name is very interesting.
In Cantonese, "Mamadi" means "average". In other words, the reason why the teacher gave him such a Taoist name was that he thought Mamadi was very ordinary and mediocre.
In fact, Mamadi is indeed very ordinary. His talent is only slightly better than his original literary talent, and his skills are mediocre.
Uncle Jiu had warned him long ago that he was not suitable for the dangerous business of corpse-carrying and that something bad would happen sooner or later if he continued.
But Mama refused to listen and insisted on being a corpse driver.
Now, he finally got into big trouble.
By the way, Mom once wrote to Uncle Jiu to invite him for help, but Uncle Jiu refused outright due to being busy with work. Unexpectedly, it would eventually lead to such a big incident.
Uncle Jiu sighed softly. After all, they were brothers. He couldn't just watch his mother go to jail and die without helping.
He put the letter away and immediately called Wencai, Qiusheng and Jiale over. He said solemnly, "Your uncle's mother is in trouble in Renjia Town. We have to rush over to rescue her. The three of you come with me."
