Bai Yitang has been on the sidelines, seeing that the apprentice really feels sorry for the two little girls, and his attitude towards them is also better.

He was about to ask Gu Jingyun to make room for the little girl to change her clothes, when Gu Jingyun got up and said, "I put some **** slices and brown sugar in the teapot just now, and you will drink a bowl later, my master and I go to the head of the bodyguard. Discuss camping."

   "Put the cloak on." Li Baolu said to Bai Yitang, "Master, pay more attention to him, but don't let him freeze."

   It's true that women's colleges don't stay, and the sayings don't deceive me! Bai Yitang silently closed his mouth and followed Gu Jingyun out of the car.

  The two big men went out, and Chen Zhu and Ling Bi felt a lot more at ease.

  Li Baolu handed them the small jacket in the bag, "Quickly change it, we are sitting in the car, the guards are looking for a place to stay."

  Li Baolu didn't mention her father, and Chen Zhu hesitated and didn't mention it.

  Ling Bi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. She could see it much better than Master. Bai Daxia didn't like her Master at all, but it was because of his affection that he couldn't refuse.

   This time, it was the friendship between Junior Sister and Li Baolu that was able to get on the carriage.

After the two men changed their clothes and sat down, Bai Yitang and Gu Jingyun choked back, "The scout reported that there is a ruined Chenghuang Temple five miles ahead, but unfortunately they didn't find any villages nearby." Gu Jingyun frowned, " If you can't find a village, you can only settle in this ruined temple."

  Li Baolu sighed, "It's a broken temple again, every time a broken temple is going to happen, something will happen."

   "Crow's Mouth," Bai Yitang knocked on her head and said, "I want to sleep well tonight."

   "This is the experience summed up by the ancients, and I didn't say it. Do you see how many stories in those scriptures happened in ruined temples?"

  Bai Yitang pouted and turned to stare at Gu Jingyun, "What kind of messy books are you showing her?"

Gu Jingyun unconcernedly took out a stack of bowls and poured the brown sugar **** water, and said, "Bao Lu is right. Generally speaking, broken temples belong to unpopulated places, whether it is killing people to steal goods or doing other shady activities. It is convenient, and there is a forest outside, so it is easy to deal with corpses and stolen goods. Since we already know that broken temples are a place with many accidents, we should prepare in advance. It is better to be prepared than not to be prepared.”

Chen Zhu and Ling Bi were stunned when they heard it, and after a while, Chen Zhu said weakly, "No way, I went all the way from Xiangyang to Kaifeng, and I encountered eight or ten broken temples, and I didn't encounter anything. ACCIDENT."

   "It seems that Buddhism and Taoism are not strong enough in the area from Hunan to Henan, otherwise there would not be so many broken temples." Gu Jingyun concluded.

  Chen Zhu & Ling Bi:  …

  Li Baolu put the bowl in their hands and said, "That's because there are many scholars here? Few of the Confucian schools believe in Buddhism."

"There are indeed many scholars in the Central Plains, but the real reason for the decline of Buddhism and Taoism should be that Emperor Qianyuan did not give special treatment to monks. At that time, foreign enemies invaded, and many people deserted military service and married to become monks or Taoists. Emperor Qianyuan was angry and ordered to let the world go. Temples and Taoist temples have to pay the same taxes as ordinary people, and even the tax is not exempted. Moreover, for each type of Taoist temple, the number of Taoist monks that the temple can accommodate is strictly limited. At this point, the development of Buddhism and Taoism in the world has slowed down. fall back."

Gu Jingyun paused and said, "However, after the emperor ascended the throne, the monks and Taoists have been reduced or exempted from taxes one after another, and the restrictions on the two have been gradually reduced. Temples and Taoist temples around the capital are very prosperous. I think the world's monks and Taoism will not be different even if they are different. There are too many, but now it seems that officials in the Henan and Hunan areas are still suppressing the development of Buddhism and Taoism, and they have not supported Buddhism and Taoism as they did in the Beijing area.”

Li Baolu clapped her hands and smiled and said, "Actually, the development of sects should be a concerted effort by a hundred schools of thought. I don't support the suppression of Buddhism, but I think it is appropriate for Buddhism to pay taxes as usual. Otherwise, if you become a monk, you won't be able to pay taxes or serve labor. The land cultivated by the temples and Taoist temples can also be exempted from paying taxes. Over time, wouldn’t it mean that the assets of the treasury were seized, and the assets of the treasury were all paid by the common people, and the court met the monks and Taoists to pay taxes to the common people.”

  Bai Yitang picked up a walnut from the plate and hit it, Li Baolu hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, "Master!"

"Stop talking nonsense, your master, I'm hungry, can you say that the monks and Taoists can fill their stomachs? Since the temples and Taoist temples here are in decline, the possibility of nearby villages is even lower, and we may have to settle in the ruined temples. Are you ready? Are you ready for the ingredients for lunch? Have you prepared the firewood? You have already thought about the three of us at night. No, you have to add the stupid disciple and grandson. Have you thought about how the four of us, the old, the weak, the sick and the sick, will survive this cold? It’s night? Don’t worry about those who don’t have any, the monks and Taoists don’t have anything to do with you, that’s what the bald donkeys of Shaolin Temple and the stinky Taoists of Wudang Mountain need to think about.”

Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun in a daze, Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand to hold her, turned his head and said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, although I am weak and Baolu is young, I can still feed you and clothe you, and I will definitely not wrong your old man. of."

   Bai Yitang snorted from his nose and leaned against the car wall to rest with Erlang's legs crossed.

   Li Baolu leaned into Gu Jingyun's ear and asked in a low voice, "Master, what happened to his old man, it's like eating gunpowder."

This is the first time that Li Baolu has approached him after last night. Smelling the scent that seemed to float over her body, Gu Jingyun reached out and stroked her satin-like hair and said in a low voice, "It's okay, Master may have a relationship with Shaolin Wudang. Old, I can't help but feel sad when I hear that they are in a bad situation."

   The laughter was clear and clear, her breath lingering in her ears, Li Baolu's face was a little red, and the memory of last night couldn't help but come up again, she stepped back as if frightened, and left him far away.

Although Gu Jingyun felt a little regretful, he didn't catch up. He glanced at Bai Yitang and Ling Bi Chen Zhu dissatisfiedly. There were too many people in this car. It seemed that he had to buy two more carriages in the next town to avoid reappearance. This situation.

   He still prefers to be alone with his wife.

   The group quickly arrived at the Chenghuang Temple, and they could see that the temple was once very prosperous because it had three courtyards.

But perhaps it has been abandoned for many years, and the group of people entered the hall and felt the cold wind pouring down from the top of their heads. When everyone looked up, they found that the roof was already leaking, and the largest hole could allow one person to enter and exit. go down.

   Gu Jingyun calmly retracted his gaze and said, "It seems that everyone has to repair the house before moving in."

"The second and third entry may be better," the chief guard led them forward. "The scout hasn't come back yet, so he should go farther to see if there is a village. Even if he can't stay overnight, he can buy more vegetables and rice grains. , we're running out of food."

   And they don't know how long and how big the snow will be. If the snow covers the mountains, will they stay here and starve to death?

  Gu Jingyun's eyes swept to the Jianghu people who came from behind, and said with a sneer: "We still have food, guess what they have?"

The captain of the guard gave a sigh. These people from the rivers and lakes were not careful about the details. They almost always ate the dry food they brought along the way. At most, they ran into the mountains to hunt some prey for the tooth sacrifice. Like them, they not only brought rice noodles, but also brought all kinds of bacon and vegetables. too little.

   In fact, they didn't bring it before, and they ate dry food like them, but didn't they have a civil servant and a civil servant's wife in their team, and the quality of life was instantly improved tenfold.

  The good quality of life that he has enjoyed, and then return to the original state, let alone that he does not agree, even those soldiers under his command will not agree.

   The captain of the guard immediately straightened his back and said, "Then Master Gu thinks..."

"These people in the rivers and lakes are all in their own camps. In this case, you might as well manage the people. Before the snow falls, bring people to repair the roof over their heads and pick up more firewood. If there is prey in the mountains, there will be many people. Bring some back to store, send two more teams of scouts, one team of two people, and if we encounter a village, we will buy more rice and come back. I estimate that we will stay here for at least three days. If we don’t want to mess up, then we have to put The whole team is in control."

   Although these Jianghu people followed them before, they didn’t communicate with each other, and there was no direct conflict of interest. But if they were trapped here, it might be fine at first, but when they finish eating and don’t have enough cold clothes, can everyone get along in peace?

  The fact that they can keep up is not because they are afraid of things and have a good relationship with them. They are now afraid of the court, but when their survival resources are minimized and their lives are threatened, the shock and deterrence of the court will not work.

  Gu Jingyun never likes things to be out of his control. For him, managing these people is troublesome now, but there will be more troubles in the future.

  The head guard has a family background and naturally knows how to manage soldiers. He knows that these Jianghu people cannot be managed as soldiers, and he has no prestige in Jianghu, so he brought Bai Yitang, Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian to support.

  Very good, the generation of heroes, the hall master of Wenyuan Pavilion and the martial arts family have all, and the captain of the guard can issue orders.

   Seeing this, Gu Jingyun beckoned to call his apprentice over, took Li Baolu's hand and walked towards the second. Seeing this, Chen Zhu and Ling Bi hurried to catch up. The first entry and the second entry were separated by a wall screen, and the second entry could be seen by bypassing the wall screen. As a result, when they were about to turn, Li Baolu suddenly stopped and pulled Gu Jingyun behind her. , which made Zhao Ning, Chen Zhu and Ling Bi, who were walking behind them, almost bump into each other, "Bao Lu, what's wrong?"

   As soon as the sentence was finished, a few people came out of the corner. The other party seemed to be surprised that there were people here. He clasped his fists in the dark and saluted, "How many are also here to avoid the snow?"

  Li Baolu pulled Gu Jingyun to stand in the dark corridor, just blocking the people behind, the other party couldn't see their faces clearly, but Li Baolu could see the other party clearly.

  Gu Jingyun also recognized the other party and said with a small smile: "Yes, but obviously the young master has come a step earlier, I wonder if there is still room for the second entry."

The person on the opposite side smiled slightly and said, "This City God Temple is very big. There are only a dozen of us in the group, so naturally there is a place. I have checked all of them, and the house with the third entrance to the courtyard and the second entrance is the best, at least the roof is All, there is no leakage of air or snow, otherwise we would be freezing to death tonight."

  Gu Jingyun led Li Baolu out of the corridor slowly, and soon stood in a bright place, the young man who had been staring at them was shocked when he saw the appearance of the two, and then became extremely uneasy, why are these two here?

  Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu looked at him with a smile, and cupped their hands: "It's fate, Master Zheng stay safe."

   Zheng Yi tried his best to squeeze out a smile, clasped his fists and said, "It is indeed very fateful, Young Master Gu, why is Mrs. Gu here?"

Li Baolu felt that they really had a good relationship with Zheng Yi and the broken temple. The first time they officially met was in the broken temple. At that time, their Weiyuan **** bureau and Li An brought in black clothes and assassins who robbed darts. They were miserable.
