The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

If this is placed in a time of war, it can be said to be a woman or something.

During the war, he could go outside to pick up a little lady, just like Xiaobao's mother. It was the little lady his father picked up outside during the war, and the two brothers were born.

But now, the world is peaceful and there are few wars.

But it must be very difficult if you really live in the mountains and forests all the time, talking about a mother-in-law.

According to what Xiaobao said, he never thought about being able to marry a wife, but he just hoped that his brother could marry a girl in the village.

Zhong Wen also understands some things.

After all, life is hard, so it doesn't matter if you can marry a wife, unless you are a rich person.

As for these mountain people, forget it.

Xiaobao also said that there are some mountain people living in the deep forest, dozens of miles away, or even hundreds of miles away.

As long as you are willing to go to talk about marriage, you can solve the marriage of most of the young men in the village.

If it really doesn't work, I can only find a widow, or if it doesn't work, I'll be single for the rest of my life.

Everyone has their own life trajectory, Zhong Wen can't change anything.

Zhong Wen was also deeply moved by this phenomenon.

Just like the villagers in Longquan Village, it is difficult to get married.

In this era, it can be said that being well-matched is very particular.

People from peasant households can basically only marry women from peasant households, and this is basically the case with marriage.

In fact, it is common to marry a widow in order to carry on the family line. Zhong Wen even saw a woman who was 20 years older than her.

To carry on the family line, no one would say that being poor is poorer, but future generations, for people of this era, that is the highest goal.

As the night passed, the sky gradually brightened.

After Zhong Wen woke up, he sat on the thatch on the ground and meditated.

As for the Xiaobao brothers, they basically woke up after dawn.

Seeing Zhong Wen's appearance like this, he didn't dare to make a sound. After getting up cautiously, he walked out of the room cautiously.

As for Xiaobao's father, although his legs and feet are inconvenient, he also knew that the Taoist priest who was able to come to stay at his house was of high status, so naturally he left the house cautiously like his two sons.

In fact, for Zhong Wen, meditating is basically just for practicing kung fu. Similarly, it is also for not lagging behind his own kung fu.

If I don't practice for three days, I might be lazy, and what's more, my kung fu will regress.

In the early morning in the forest, the air is exceptionally fresh.

What's more, in this era, the air is much better than in the previous life.

In his previous life, Zhong Wen worked in Pengcheng, and he rarely saw the blue sky and green clouds.

Industrial waste gas has already filled the sky.

But in this day and age, you can look at the sky however you want, standing up, lying down, it’s up to you, even if you lie down and die, no one cares about you.

The sky is as beautiful as it needs to be, and maybe you can see the scene of the sky full of red, which is a scene that Zhong Wen could not see in his previous life.

And just like today's early morning, the sky is full of red, so beautiful that it cannot be described in words.

"Daozhang, why are you standing here motionless?"

When Zhong Wen was immersed in the red sky, Er Niang appeared from nowhere and shouted at Zhong Wen.

"I think the weather is very good today. I think it should be good weather for the next few days."

Zhong Wen really didn't want to talk more with this second wife, so he could only find an excuse.

"Daozhang, isn't the sky like this all the time?"

Erniang didn't know why, as she saw, if it wasn't raining, the weather would be like this every day.

Zhong Wen stopped talking and continued to look at the distant sky.

Seeing Zhong Wen's appearance like this, Er Niang couldn't speak more.

This time, she came here to invite Zhong Wen to visit her house. Of course, this visit has a purpose.

And her purpose is simple to say.

I just want to ask Zhong Wen to do a ritual for her family.

In the past, she always felt that her home was not good, and that there was something unclean in the home that caused her husband to die.

In the past, she also went to invite some Taoist priests, but they thought it was too far away, and they were in the mountains and forests, so they didn't want to come.

But now, a Taoist priest finally came, so she wanted to seize the opportunity to ask the Taoist priest to go to her house for a ritual or something.

As for money, she really didn't know how much it would cost, but it wouldn't be too much.

But she didn't want to come much, but she far underestimated the money needed for the ceremony.

The ceremony of exorcising evil spirits is complicated, takes a long time, and requires many instruments, but it is really not something she, a mountain dweller, can afford.

If ordinary people pass away, it doesn't take much money to invite one or two Taoists to do a ritual. It's okay if you don't have money, and you can basically pass away if you give some rice or something.

But if a rich family invites a Taoist to do something, it is a matter of pomp and prestige.

It is quite normal to invite twenty or thirty Taoist priests to do a religious ceremony.

But if it is really about doing rituals to get rid of evil spirits, then there will be more money, ranging from ten or twenty guan to some hundreds of guan.

Er Niang is a mountain dweller, so she may not really understand these things.

Even when someone in the village passed away, no monks or priests were invited to perform ceremonies. Most of them were old people in the village. After reading a few words, they were buried according to the ancestral system.

Er Niang stood beside Zhong Wen, and after a long time, it was hard to say this.

I used to be nagging, and I don't know what happened today.

In fact, Er Niang was really embarrassed to speak up, because there was no copper coin in her family, and she couldn't come up with copper coins to pay for this ceremony.

This made her embarrassed to say this. If she really had some copper coins, she would definitely drag Zhong Wen to her house like yesterday.
