Handbook of Nonhuman Research

It turned out that his name was Yang Qi.Zhao Wugou nodded, and silently helped Bai Tian calculate the housing prices in the busiest area in northern Beijing. The string of ferocious numbers is simply daunting.

"Then why don't you go see him?" Since optimism is a rare good quality, the intern decides to change the subject temporarily.

"I don't know how to transform yet, I'm afraid he will send me back when he meets me." Bai Tian lowered his head melancholy.

Just now Yang Qi casually told Zhao Wugou that when they met for the first time, it was hurt a little.In fact, Yang Qi had saved its life that time.Moreover, his leg was also injured because of saving people.He's a very, very nice guy.

This time he came to Beijing North, he made up his mind to repay his kindness.

However, with his stubborn personality, if he saw him in Beijing, he would definitely send him, a 'protected animal', back to Qingting Mountain.

So just sneak a look?Zhao Wugou finally understood the reason why he always lies outside invisible during the day.

"I still want to heal his leg." Bai Tian shook his head.

"Treating legs?"

"I'm helping him gather medicine, and it's not good enough now." The little white snake poked the small burden on its head with the tip of its chubby tail.

"The medicine in your bag is for his legs?" Zhao Wugou's eyes widened in surprise.Ever since we met, Tiantian has been carrying that burden and never let it go. He thought it was Baitian's belongings, but he didn't expect it to be medicinal materials.

"Yes, I'm afraid of losing it, so I keep it with me all the time." Bai Tian shyly drew a circle with his tail.Heal Yang Qi's leg first, and then buy him a house, and his repayment of kindness will be successfully concluded.

"Come on. Remember to come to me if you need help." Zhao Wugou touched Tiantian's head, never expecting it to be such a caring little warm snake.

After bidding farewell to the daytime, Zhao Wugou went to school to get materials for another hour.After a hasty meal in the cafeteria at noon, I went straight to the employment agency.

When he went downstairs to carry water and passed the training classroom, Zhao Wugou took a sharp look at the chubby little white snake who was already sitting in it full of energy, concentrating on receiving the enlightenment education from Teacher Tengu.

It's good to have a dream, what if it comes true?The intern silently cheered the day outside the door.

Back on the second floor, Director Song was standing at the door of the consulting room.

"Are you free? Accompany me to the Seven Star Temple." Director Song adjusted his golden monocle habitually, and the thin golden chain drew an elegant arc between his jaws.

The intern readily agreed.

The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, this time when picking up the square paper bag, Zhao Porter Wugou is already familiar with it.

Seven Star Temple is the largest Taoist temple in northern Beijing, located on the Seven Star Mountain in the outskirts of the city.This is the time to appreciate the maple leaves. The red leaves in the mountains and plains are deep and shallow, and occasionally dotted with a few green pines and cypresses.

Today happened to be the birthday of Emperor Xiyue. Seven Stars Temple had a grand ceremony of fasting and offering sacrifices. The crowds of people participating in the ceremony and viewing the red leaves collided together, making the whole Seven Stars Mountain extremely lively.

Zhao Wugou and his car circled the parking lot twice before they managed to find a spot.

The viewer of the Seven Star Temple looks to be at least 70 years old, with white beard and hair, hale and hearty, and looks like a fairy.He had business affairs to discuss with Director Song, and he was either a monster or a master of Taoism. Zhao Wugou couldn't guess the identity of the other party after watching for a long time.

After exchanging greetings, Zhao Wugou tactfully left Song Zhan to have a private chat with the temple owner, and then came out to visit the Taoist temple by himself.

Because many scriptures and stone carvings of calligraphers of the past dynasties and the imperial plaques of the former emperors are preserved in the temple, Qixing Temple can also be regarded as a well-known tourist attraction in northern Beijing.However, Zhao Wugou had only been to Seven Star Mountain once before, and he had no memory of it when he was still very young.The Taoist temple in front of you is a standard central axis building, divided into three roads: the middle road, the east road, and the west road.Looking up, there are many buildings with double eaves and glazed tiles on the top of the mountain, with pines, cypresses and red maple trees forming an interesting contrast.In the midst of incense, tourists are bustling, and basically every area is looked after by people in the temple, and the order is in good order.

"The crane demon is quite good at taking care of it." Bai Wuchang sat on the 700-year-old pine tree with a protective plaque in the Taoist temple, holding the milk tea he bought in the commercial street outside the mountain gate, drinking happily Happy.

Hei Wuchang silently handed Zhao Wugou a cup of coffee.

The temple master turned out to be a crane!The intern's doubts finally had an answer.Holding the coffee in his hand, he habitually smelled the aroma, and restrained himself from opening it.

The nearest one is the Temple of the God of Wealth, Zhao Wugou went in and took a stroll, there were three Gods of Wealth enshrined in it, there was an endless stream of tourists praying for wealth.

When he came out, Zhao Wugou found that Bai Wuchang was dragging Hei Wuchang and throwing coins into the spring at the gate of the hall.There was a thick layer of coins piled on the bottom of the pool, which was washed brightly by the water.The intern glanced at the introduction card, "Qianyanquan", if you can just throw the coin into the spring, you will have a lot of money in the coming year.

'Do you still believe this? 'Zhao Wugou looked at Bai Wuchang curiously.

"I don't believe it." Bai Wuchang shook his head, but his eyes were still fixed on the coin in Hei Wuchang's hand.He had already thrown the one crookedly just now, so the one in Hei Wuchang's hand was the only one to look at.

"Then you still throw it?"

"If you dare to make promises to ghosts and gods, you must keep them. This is the way of heaven." Bai Wuchang leisurely nodded the sign that said he was making money, "Otherwise, next year I will come and demolish the Taoist temple of the crane demon."

Zhao Wugou: ……………

Do you count as a super touch porcelain?

There are still three statues of gods in the next hall, but this time they are the three gods, the heavenly officials, the local officials and the water officials.The introduction board reads a few rows of bright characters, heavenly officials bless, earthly officials forgive sins, and water officials relieve misfortunes.

Zhao Wugou took a closer look, although each statue was wiped clean, wearing a golden cloak.But looking at the face and shape, it is obviously much older than the statues at the Temple of Wealth.It should be some years old.

After leaving the hall, there is a pine tree on the right side of the door, covered with half-palm-wide colorful cloth strips layer by layer, with a golden dragon printed on the top of the cloth strips, and densely written words on the bottom.

After inquiring with the people who came up to sell the cloth strips, he found out that the bamboo strips hung on the tree were simplified versions of the Toulong slips. The red cloth strips replaced the mountain slips, which could be used to pray to heavenly officials, and the yellow cloth strips replaced the ground slips, which were used for The local officials repented of their sins, and the blue cloth strips replaced the water slips, praying for the water officials to relieve their misfortunes.

After asking, seeing the other party looking at him eagerly, Zhao Wugou had no choice but to take out ten yuan, and casually pulled out a blue cloth slip from the other party's hand.He didn't have anything to ask for, so he didn't write, and just put it in his backpack.

After selling the cloth slips, the man kindly told him that today's fasting ceremony also has a formal ceremony of throwing dragon slips, if you are interested, you can go to the top of the mountain to have a look.

Anyway, since he had nothing to do, Zhao Wugou followed the man's instructions and walked all the way to the top of the mountain.

The Peak Plaza is crowded with people, and the ritual of fasting and offering sacrifices has already begun.Taoist flags are flying, and dozens of Taoist priests in yellow robes are standing in front of the altar in the middle to open the altar. With a bit of performance attire.

Except for true believers, most tourists are impatient with such a long ceremony.There are temporary antique booths around the square, half of which sell various snacks, and the other half sell souvenirs for tourists to rest and kill time.

In addition to these fixed stalls, there were quite a few people with backpacks walking among the crowd, selling things like amulets, and most of them were dressed similarly to those who sold cloth slips to Zhao Wugou.

Bai Wuchang was very interested in those food stalls, and planned to try them from beginning to end, while Zhao Wugou was looking at those souvenirs with his cold cup of coffee.

"Handsome guy, do you want a disaster relief talisman? There's only one today, so if you buy it, you'll earn it." A handsome young man stopped Zhao Wugou with a smile, and said enthusiastically while holding a Dao talisman folded into a triangle.There is still cinnabar oozing slightly on the back of the yellow paper, which is obviously written just now.

"No need." Zhao Wugou shook his head with a faint smile.He may still be able to accumulate some merit points when encountering bad things now, it is better to 'welcome' than 'avoid'.

The young man in rough sermon uniform was a little disappointed, paused, then took out two other talisman papers from his pocket, held them up to Zhao Wugou, and tried hard to sell them, "Do you want a blessing talisman? There is also an absolution talisman. "

"Sorry." The intern shook his head again in embarrassment.

Although the young man was disappointed, he didn't bother anymore, turned around and walked away.

Zhao Wugou heaved a sigh of relief, and continued to walk to the booth next to him, smelling the aroma, he was also a little hungry.When he came back with a few skewers of octopus balls and grilled sausages to distribute to Black and White Wuchang, he suddenly saw the boy who had been selling him the evil talisman just now was arguing with someone.

"You tore my talisman, you have to pay for it." The boy stopped a man in sunglasses who was a head taller than him.

"It was you who bluffed and swindled." The man in sunglasses poked the boy's chest with the car key in his hand disdainfully, with a tone of what can you do with me, "Tell you, cracking down on fakes is a substitute Heaven follows the law, pay for P’s money. If you don’t get out of the way, I will delay Lao Tzu from watching the feast, and I will beat you.”

The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, some said that the man in sunglasses was playing a rogue, and some advised the young man to calm down.

The man in the sunglasses had a copper coin attached to his car key with a red string and gold thread, which seemed to be something like an amulet.The young man looked down at the copper coin for two seconds, then stretched out his hand and pulled the copper coin down.

"Fuck, turkey, do you know how much I asked for this amulet?" The man in the sunglasses turned pale with fright, snatched the copper coins back from the young man, and tried to thread it back with half of the rope, but found that it couldn't be tied.

"Fake." The boy said to the man in the sunglasses seriously, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

The man in the sunglasses was furious, "Fake your grandma's legs! My mother bought this amulet for me last week for 15 yuan from Master Qingchen! If you don't get [-] yuan today, you will never leave."

15?Zhao Wugou squinted his eyes as he looked at the copper coin.

"As you said, those who tear up the fake ones are doing justice for the heavens, and there is no need to pay for it." The young man looked at him neither humble nor overbearing.

"I think you are itchy!" The man in sunglasses rushed over to grab the boy's collar, but his feet slipped and he fell.He grabbed a stone from the ground and stood up viciously.

Seeing that he was about to make a move, the crowd of onlookers immediately moved away.

Zhao Wugou stepped forward and dragged the young man behind him, "Why make things difficult for a child. You tore his things, and he broke the rope of your amulet, so it is still his loss."

"Can that be the same? He's just a piece of paper, and my coin is worth 15 yuan!" The man in sunglasses, holding a stone, threw the copper coin aggressively at Zhao Wugou's eyes.

"Speak well." Hei Wuchang raised his hand and pinched the wrist of the man in sunglasses.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." The man in the sunglasses begged for mercy with a grin, and Hei Wuchang let go of his hand coldly.

Bai Wuchang glanced at the young man hiding behind Zhao Wugou with a half-smile, and then at the man in the sunglasses, "I've seen many people who are courting death, you are the first one to be so stupid."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Don't think I'm afraid of you because there are so many of you. Let me tell you, my amulet is a rare antique! The master consecrated it for free. Now that the rope is broken, it costs at least 2 RMB 2 for redressing. None of you are allowed to leave unless you put down [-] RMB." The man in sunglasses said unconvincedly, rubbing his wrist.

Zhao Wugou glanced at the copper coin indifferently, "Antique?"

The man in the sunglasses snorted, "Of course, it's the best of all money."

"This copper coin in your hand has 'Hongwu Tongbao' on the front, and patterns on the back, right? Except for the patterns of flowers and plants, is there a person on the top, a cow on the bottom, a sheep on the left, and a horse on the right?" Zhao Wugou looked up. other side.

"How do you know?" The man in the sunglasses looked at him in surprise. Although he couldn't tell the pattern of the cow, horse and sheep, the pattern was pretty much the same.

"Are you a cow?"

"I am a tiger!"

"That's weird." Zhao Wugou's handsome brows raised slightly, showing a puzzled expression, "This pattern is called Lafayette of the Green Cow and White Horse. It was not used to keep people safe, but it used to be specially hung in the sheds for raising cattle and sheep." The livestock raised in Li are safe."

Sunglasses man: ……………

"What, keep the livestock safe?"

"Livestock or beast?" The crowd laughed.

The man in the sunglasses looked at the copper coins in his hand, and then at Zhao Wugou, with a confused expression on his face, "...you are talking nonsense!"

Zhao Wugou shook his head regretfully, "Also, if you really spent 15 yuan, you shouldn't seek compensation from this kid, but the master who sold you."

"What do you mean?" The man in sunglasses stared at him.

"This kind of money, good quality, the price in the antique city is not more than 150 yuan." Zhao Wugou added 'kindly'.

Sunglasses man: ……………

"Tsk tsk, it costs 15 to buy something that costs [-]. It's really stupid to have a lot of money."

"It's really shameless to want to blackmail someone else's child for [-] yuan."

"Just now I said to crack down on counterfeit products, but what I dare to offer is a big fake."

"Impossible!" The man in the sunglasses blushed amidst the discussion of the crowd.

"This is Seven Star Temple, you can ask the master in the temple to have a look, or you can call Antique City to ask." Zhao Wugou spread his hands.

Unbelievably, the man in sunglasses searched for a phone number in the antique city and called him for consultation. After a while, his face changed, and he turned around and squeezed out of the crowd with red face and red ears.

"Starting to cast Longjian." Someone shouted not far away.Seeing that there was nothing lively to watch, the crowd of onlookers all moved towards the altar.

"In the future, don't go head-on with this kind of person, you will suffer." Zhao Wugou patted the young man on the shoulder, handed him a grilled sausage, and followed the crowd with black and white impermanence to watch.

Incense was lingering, and amidst the melodious sound of bells and chimes, the red-robed Taoist priest held up high in his hand against the mountain wind a jade bisque wrapped with gold threads, a gold-plated dragon talisman, and a silver slip about [-] centimeters long.

Not far away came the clear and crisp sound of cranes, and in the clouds, three white cranes came lightly, with a bit of fairy air.The crane in the middle picked up the thing in the Taoist's hand, circled three times around the altar, and then spread its wings and flew towards the distant mountain peaks.

"Wow, it's so spiritual." Many people raised their mobile phones to take pictures.

Shan Jianzuo told the heavenly official Shangyuan, praying for blessings.The white crane spread its wings and flew to the middle of the mountain, opened its mouth and threw the mountain slip down.

The believers kowtowed piously, and the tourists also burst into cheers and applause.

Zhao Wugou also applauded, the effect of this wave of throwing dragon slips was simply perfect.

The red-robed Taoist priest passionately lifted up the new golden dragon and silver slips, followed by the soil slips for the local officials and the water slips for the water officials.

"Hey, there are thieves!" Amidst the noise, someone suddenly shouted from behind Zhao Wugou, and then he felt his backpack sink.

The intern turned around and saw the handsome young man standing behind him.The young man awkwardly held one end of the blue cloth slip, while the other end of the cloth slip was still in Zhao Wugou's backpack.

The strange thing is that Black and White Wuchang not far away actually stood by and did not stop the boy, but enthusiastic passers-by 'reported'.

Zhao Wugou looked suspiciously at Bai Wuchang, who had a smirk on his lips, and Hei Wuchang, who had always had a serious face. The two didn't speak, so it meant that the boy had no bad intentions, right?

"Sorry, this is my friend." After thanking the people next to him, he took the boy to a place with few people nearby, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"I'm not stealing, I'm just curious, and I want to see what you want from me." The young man, aggrieved, rolled up the unwritten blue cloth slip that he took out from Zhao Wugou's backpack.

Wait, I beg you?Zhao Wugou didn't react for a while, but when he saw the cloth slip in the young man's hand, he suddenly had an answer in his heart.

"I'm going to promise you." The young man pursed his crimson lips with a serious expression.
