sinovels Chapter 1 Wangjing Hall
Chapter 1 Wangjing Hall
On the bustling street, there are a lot of pedestrians and traffic.
This is a famous antique street in Lingzhou City, a bluestone street, with antique buildings on both sides, and various shops lined up in rows.Restaurants, pharmacies, clothing stores, antique shops, and street vendors selling all kinds of food and playthings make this street a symbol of Lingzhou City.
Another famous place in Lingzhou City is the highly incensed Lingzhou Temple. It is said that it is a century-old temple and is extremely effective.In particular, the [-]-story pagoda in the temple is exquisite and has a long history. It completely reproduces the scene of the [-]-story hell, which is very educational.
I heard that walking around inside makes people look ashamed, body as chaff, and the soul is greatly impacted, wishing to become a Buddha on the spot.
It's too awful!Be a good person!Don't go down to the [-]th floor of hell!horrible!
Although what I said is a bit exaggerated, the pagoda is indeed very beautiful. When it encounters wind and rain, the light mist rains on the bamboo leaves, and the wind blows the copper bells hanging on the pagoda. There is still a lingering sound in the land.
Five years ago, when the new leader of Lingzhou City took up his post, the first thing he did was to expand the Lingzhou Temple. Now the Lingzhou Temple has two original temples, a vegetarian restaurant, a clean Zen room, food, housing and transportation. It is convenient, and the incense is even better. Many foreigners come here admiringly. In addition, Lingzhou City has mountains and rivers. Gathering wind, fishing in the next river, drifting or something, it's not bad to play along the way.It's a surprise that Lingzhou City has been promoted as a good place for home tourism, which has driven countless economic developments.
Then again, on this antique street, there is a two-story ancient building amidst rows of restaurants and shops.Paper-pasted carved windows with double-opening doors, brick-red glazed tiles shining in the sun as before, the whole building is made of high-quality nanmu mahogany wood, warm in winter and cool in summer, even after a hundred years of wind and rain, it is still as stable as a mountain, making the whole building beautiful. Exudes a heavy sense of history.
On the plaque on the first floor, there are three big characters written in dragons and phoenixes, and a pair of couplets are hung on both sides of "Wangjing Hall".
The second couplet: Receive Tian Bailu, avoid all evils.
It was noon at this time, all six doors were opened, and the warm mahogany carved door leaf was bathed in warm sunlight. There was an electronic blackboard in front of the door, on which was written: Wholesale all kinds of yellow paper, ingots, gold and silver mountains.
This shining electronic blackboard is placed here in front of this antique Wangjing Hall.
The two tourists from other places watched for a long time, and the older old man kept smacking his lips and shaking his head, screaming that it was a pity.
It's a pity that this ancient house is used to sell yellow paper?What a waste of money.
The two walked in one after the other. The lobby was very spacious. The floor was covered with large square bricks, which were clean and flat. Two-meter-high solid wood counters were placed against the wall on both sides, and various yellow paper counters were placed on one side. Platinum paper, as well as brick-sized coins from the underworld, dazzled the viewers.On the other side are all kinds of tribute incense and colorful fake flowers.
The wall facing the door is clean and there is only a picture hanging on it. It shows an old man riding a green ox with promotion on the side. It is a picture of Lao Tzu traveling in the clouds. On the sandalwood altar table with carved legs, there is only a thin porcelain vase on it, and a few fresh horseshoe-shaped lotuses are inserted in the vase.
There is also a door leading to the kitchen at the back by the wall, with a small door curtain embroidered with bamboo patterns hanging on it, and beside it is a wooden staircase leading directly to the upper floor.
"Both of you, do you need anything?" An elegant voice sounded, and the two discovered that there was a big Eight Immortals table under the south wall facing the stairs, and a young man in his 20s was sitting behind the table.
The two of them patronized the room just now and looked around until the young man made a noise, only to find that there were still people in the room, and couldn't help but look carefully.
The young man in simple and elegant clothes raised his hand and touched the teapot in the small tea tray of the Eight Immortals Table like flowing water, and then put out two white porcelain teacups, and poured water exactly [-]% full.
"Both of you, you are a guest when you enter the door. Please have tea." The young man raised his hand to reveal a white wrist, and his slender fingers looked pleasing to the eye.
The old man sat generously on the small round drum stool opposite the young man, and took the opportunity to look at him carefully again. He looked only 25 or [-] years old, with a handsome appearance, a thin figure, elegant manners, and a gentle temperament.His hair was as black as ink, making his face as white as jade.
The old man praised in his heart, what a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, but it's a pity that he has a pair of eyes, beautiful is beautiful, but those eyes are not focused, just now he only looked at him, and he saw that the young man was blind.
What a pity, what a pity.
The young man who entered the door together with the old man also found out about this after he sat down, a trace of regret quickly flashed across his face, but he couldn't help but take another look.
Naturally, Rong Shen couldn't see the expressions on the faces of the two of them. He had been blind since he was a child, and he had already gotten used to it. He was still tilting his head slightly, waiting for the two to speak.
"Just looking around," replied the young man.
"Those two, please do what you want." Rong Shen smiled slightly, and stopped talking.He just came out occasionally to take a look at the store for his gluttonous younger brother, because the dignified owner of Wangjing was his younger brother who was making soup in the kitchen at the moment.
"I don't know how many years old this house is." The old man saw that the house looked old but it didn't show decay at all. On the contrary, it had a heavy sense of vicissitudes, and the supporting tables and chairs in the lobby were all moist. Pulp, timeless and fresh.
"It's only about 200 years." Rong Shen answered every question.
"I don't know if this house..."
bro~
Halfway through the old man's speech, he was interrupted by a shout from behind, and then there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the half of the curtain leading to the back was pushed out by a furry head. The teenager ran out with a big bowl.
He screamed as he ran, it was so hot, so hot, so hot!He quickly put the bowl in his hand on the only table in the hall, then quickly raised his hand to grab his ear, and danced around twice in place, with a wonderful expression on his face.
The lobby, which was originally somewhat deserted, became extremely lively with him alone.
The old man was a little dumb, while the young man frowned in distaste. This man was so noisy, he didn't like the elegant and quiet beauty opposite him.
"Yan Zheng, there are guests." Rong Shen reminded him, and at the same time couldn't help but secretly took a deep breath, the smell is so delicious, following the foodie will bring you good luck, this sentence is absolutely true.
The young man was also attracted by the scent, and subconsciously looked at the bowl in front of him. It should be a bowl of fermented sweet-scented osmanthus balls. In the light white soup, there are soft and moist small glutinous rice balls, with a layer of golden yellow floating on the top. Sweet osmanthus, sweet and tangy.
Only then did Yan Zheng carefully sized up the two guests sitting at the table, and when he saw the young man, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.
The young man seemed to have noticed his pause, and raised his eyebrows in displeasure.
how?Speak up if you have something to say!
Yan Zheng let out a muffled laugh, sat down, scooped up the small glutinous rice balls in the bowl with a spoon, and asked, "Do you two have any difficulties you want me to solve?"
"What difficulties do we have? It's just that you can go in and rest your feet in this house!" The young man didn't like him at all, and his tone of voice was not very good, and he was a bit domineering.
The old man was very modest, heyed, and motioned him to speak up.
When Yan Zheng heard it, he was quite happy, "Didn't you look for me?" If you dare to think that these two came in by mistake, then he doesn't care about it.
"What? What's so special about Mr. Xiao?" The old man suddenly became interested and asked in a kind tone.
Yan Zheng smiled and said nothing, he misunderstood that these two people came to find him only after seeing the young man just now.
In addition to selling yellow paper, this Wangjingtang also has a special business, which is not on the surface, but everyone knows it secretly.
Yan Zheng is a celestial master. When he took over the Wangjing Hall from his master, he also learned the ability to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits.If it only relied on selling yellow paper, then Wangjingtang would have closed down long ago!
"Playing with mystery." The young man muttered, stood up and said to the old man, "Father-in-law, let's go!"
The old man wanted to ask something else, but seeing his son-in-law said so, he had no choice but to get up and go out with him.
"Stop making trouble with words!" Rong Shen whispered, tugging on his sleeve.
Yan Zheng curled his lips, and said indifferently to the backs of the two people: "I will never do anything wrong in my life, and I will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."
"What did you say?" The young man walked quickly, and Yan Zheng didn't speak very loudly, and he was still chewing on the small glutinous rice balls, so he turned around and asked sharply when he heard the words "ghost knocking on the door."
"You know what you did? You still need to ask me?" Yan Zheng looked at him without fear, and at the same time glanced at the position behind the young man intentionally or unintentionally.
Others couldn't see it, but he was born with yin and yang eyes, so he could see clearly. There was a wet woman standing impressively behind the young man.
She looks young, wearing a red wedding dress, with neither happy nor sad expression.
He saw that the young man was haunted by ghosts at first sight, so he misunderstood that they came to him to exorcise ghosts.
The young man almost flew into a rage when he poked his sore foot.
His real name is Wang Yunpeng, he is a country boy, his parents are farmers facing the loess and their backs to the sky, they save money for him to study, but he lived up to expectations and was admitted to a university in the city.
When Wang Yunpeng came to a big city for the first time, he was dazzled by the colorful city life almost instantly. He liked this kind of prosperity very much, and never wanted to go back to his hometown full of dirt.Wang Yunpeng is very smart and looks good. Soon, he fell in love with a wealthy daughter, the daughter of the old man who was with him.
Everything went smoothly, although the rich daughter was a bit unruly and willful, but in his eyes, it was just a small problem, not worth mentioning at all, because the rich daughter was the only child, if they could get married, all the property of the father-in-law would belong to him in the future He can save at least 20 years of struggle.
Everything went smoothly, he graduated from university and successfully joined his future father-in-law's company to work. Seeing that the wedding is approaching, the day when he can spend a lot of money is just around the corner.But at this moment, Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way.
His girlfriend from the countryside, Xiaocui, found him. Xiaocui was his childhood sweetheart girlfriend. Both parents had acquiesced in their marriage. Everyone in the village knew that Xiaocui was the only wife of a college student in the village. How many people are envious.
But since Wang Yunpeng went to university, I had less and less contact with her, and then there were almost none.
Xiaocui waited hard for four years in the village alone. Girls her age were almost ready to become mothers, but she was still alone.Every winter and summer vacation, she would stand at the head of the village eagerly waiting for her lover to return, but every time she returned disappointed.
Gradually, gossip spread in the village, and everyone said that Wang Yunpeng didn't want her anymore.
Xiaocui couldn't stand the pressure, so she ran out of the house to look for Wang Yunpeng in Lingzhou City.
