Chapter 810

Man Bao couldn't help but turned his head and looked at Bai Shan, and when he turned his head again, the two of them smiled at County Magistrate Tang so brightly that they almost blinded County Magistrate Tang's eyes.

Although he knew it shouldn't be, County Magistrate Tang still couldn't help but feel a shudder running down his spine, as if an ant was crawling quickly along his back, and he shivered.

County magistrate Tang flicked his eyes from side to side between the two of them, and asked, "But I remember that the government schools usually have a three-day holiday on February 2. You came back yesterday and left tomorrow?"

Bai Shandao: "I asked for two extra days off."

Magistrate Tang looked at him suspiciously, "Just to celebrate February 2?"

Bai Shan nodded and said: "Didn't Mr. Tang also come? Obviously, he is also very interested in our temple fair. We come to participate in the temple fair every year. If we don't come this year, it feels like something is missing."

Magistrate Tang smiled and got up from the rock, "Since it's such a coincidence, why don't we go together?"

Man Bao nodded again and again, and said enthusiastically: "We know each other well here, County Magistrate Tang, we will be the hosts, and we will take you for a stroll, okay?"

Magistrate Tang smiled and nodded.

A group of people will go hand in hand.

County Magistrate Tang saw that they were climbing up the mountain without any rest on the road, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you tired?"

Man Bao and Bai Shan turned to look at him, hesitantly said: "Master Tang, are you tired again? How about we take a rest?"

Magistrate Tang looked up at the looming Taoist temple not far away, and said firmly, "No, I'm not tired."

So a group of people continued to walk, Tang County Magistrate still explained, "The mountain roads here are relatively steep, so walking is tiring, like Qixia Mountain, I climb it every year, and I can walk up the mountain in one breath."

"Really?" Man Bao glanced at their mountain, thought about Qixia Mountain again, and reluctantly agreed, "Yes, Qixia Mountain can be boarded by car, we can only rely on walking here, but we are used to climbing at a young age. I don't feel tired."

Magistrate Tang asked curiously, "Do you often come here to climb mountains?"

"Yes," Man Bao said, "every year, the temple fair on February 2, the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the Ghost Festival in July, the Double Ninth Festival in September, and the offering of incense years ago all come to the Taoist temple. It will also take us to climb high and look far.”

Magistrate Tang condescendingly glanced at the people still moving at the foot of the mountain, and then thought about Mr. Zhuang's age, and sighed, "Mr. Zhuang is in good health."

Man Bao and Bai Shan nodded together, and then cast a vague glance at Magistrate Tang.

But the two of them are now planning to ask him for something, so they can only praise others, how can they attack each other?

Man Bao praised his words as he said, "Master Tang, you are also very good. You see, those who climbed with us are still used to doing farm work. They have to rest twice on the way before they can go up."

Bai Shan racked his brains and thought for a while, "Everyone is sweating a lot, and they are a bit embarrassed, but your lord is still so graceful."

County Magistrate Tang glanced at Bai Shan and said, "If you don't know how to praise others, then don't."

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and opened the folding fan in his hand to fan the wind.

Man Bao watched his folding fan get tangled, and said after a while, "Master Tang, it's not good to fan the wind after sweating, and it's still cold in spring, so it's not good for your health."

Magistrate Tang thought that she was a doctor, so he paused the folding fan in his hand, closed it calmly, and asked, "How long will it be?"

"It won't be long, just go for another section, and this section is very gentle."

Magistrate Tang followed Man Bao and the two of them to go forward, and then went a little further. The road had indeed calmed down. Magistrate Tang saw many people coming up from another road. Most of those people were young and strong, with many backs holding an old man, or reaching out to support an old man.

County magistrate Tang couldn't help but let out a groan, and Man Bao explained: "That's another road, which is smoother and easier to walk. We usually take the same road when we come to Shangxiang."

Magistrate Tang asked, "Then why don't we take that route?"

Man Bao said: "Because the scenery on that road is not as good as this one, and it's narrower. County Magistrate Yang invited local tyrants from the county to repair this road, so it's easy to go."

Magistrate Tang didn't think it was easy to leave at all. He looked at Bai Shan and asked, "Did your family also pay?"

Bai Shan nodded, "It's a little bit, but my family's is less, my cousin, and the Zhang's and Liu's in the county town are the most."

Magistrate Tang looked at him and said with a smile, "You local tyrant."

Man Bao nodded approvingly, and said, "Local tyrant."

Bai Shan glanced at her and said nothing.

The Taoist temple is full of incense, and it is very lively. No matter whether you bring incense to the mountain or not, everyone who comes here must kneel down and worship.

Wealthy families, such as the Bai family, Zhang family, and Liu family, will also donate some good money to the Taoist temple.

Of course, their treatment was also different. They went up to the mountain to offer incense, and Taoist Priest Shouqing and the others vacated the remaining rooms in the temple for them to rest.

There are not enough rooms. In the past two years, they have built two new rooms for guests.

There is no way, the incense of the Taoist temple is getting more and more prosperous, and more and more wealthy people come here, they can't behave too shabby.

The house was repaired with the money given by the pilgrims, and the house was given to the pilgrims to live in. Daoxu whispered to Man Bao, "This money is equivalent to returning to them after passing through us, but we are tired. A lot. It's not worth it."

Man Bao asked: "There are so many people here, is there no money left?"

"Yes, but Master used the money to buy rice noodles and medicinal materials. The lay monks who came up the mountain asked for medicine, and Master gave it."

Man Bao said: "This is worth it."

Daoxu said: "But we are exhausted, recently we have copied less and less scriptures, and we have less time to meditate."

Daohe on the side said: "It can be seen that Manbao is more suitable for cultivating Taoism than you. You have spent so much time on the mountain in vain, and you can't see things as clearly as Manbao."

Daohe asked: "You are a poor Taoist priest, what do you do with your money? It is useless to save it, but it is just waste money. It is better to spend it. Take it from good people and use it for good people."

Even Bai Shan couldn't help applauding Daohe, saying: "The heart is peaceful and the road is far away."

Daoxu was not convinced, "There are so many uses for money. If we keep it, we can at least eat meat, right? We're not bald donkeys, so we don't have to stop talking, and we can buy a lot of delicious food."

Man Bao laughed loudly, and said: "Be careful next time Master Jiechen comes, I will tell him."

Daoxu said to her, "Sue the spirit."

Daohe said: "It's not good to eat too much meat. Don't always think about your appetite. You can ask Man Bao, is eating too much meat good for your health?"

Man Bao said: "It's not good for your body, but it's good for your mouth and heart."

Daoxu and Bai Shan laughed together with Man Bao, while Daohe stood aside and watched them silently.

Man Bao is familiar with the people in the Taoist temple, but she took a look at the flow of people inside, and said to County Magistrate Tang: "I guess there is no room for you to rest, but I know the little Taoist priests inside, if you don't mind, I will take you there rest in their room?"

Magistrate Tang looked at her and said, "I'm a little scared that you are suddenly so polite."

Today is Moyan's birthday, the next update will be around 3pm
