The county seat of Dongxian County is far away. The closer you get to the county seat, the more farmland has been opened outside the city and the denser the villages are.

The donkey cart passed through the farmland and villages, and everyone had a leisurely look on their face. It seemed that the people's livelihood in the Wei Dynasty was pretty good.

The farmers in the fields were carrying hoes and shouting farming chants. At noon, their wives and children would bring meals to them, and they would gather on the ridges of the fields to eat together.

It was full of joy and laughter.

The words spoken by people here are similar to those in Dazhou, but they have strong accents and slang. Taoists can understand them, but it is difficult to understand them all.

at this time.

A man wearing straw sandals and carrying a wooden box passed by the Taoist donkey cart.

He doesn't look like a farmer or hunter, nor does he look like a scholar or businessman.

There is a medicinal smell permeating his body, he must be a doctor.

He had clearly passed by, but he suddenly took a few steps back, scratching his head and looking at the Taoist sitting outside the carriage, admiring the local customs.

He stared at Gao Xian's face for a long time.

Even Gao Xian wondered if this guy had figured out his identity?

Could it be that the legend and image of Kongchen Daojun had already crossed the Hanshi Pass and reached the Wei Dynasty?

But then I thought about it, this guy is probably a doctor, is he trying to sell his own medicine?

The Taoist suddenly thought of Master Wutong who sold Dali Pill in Yunbi County, and his eyes immediately turned evil.

Unexpectedly, this person suddenly shook his head and sighed.

"Oh! Another handsome guy."

"..."

The donkey cart did not stop, crossing the road and still heading towards Dong County.

The man stopped and turned around.

Seeing the Taoist heading towards Dong County, he shouted at the Taoist at the top of his lungs.

"If I were you, the Taoist priest, I wouldn't go into the city so stupidly."

The donkey cart finally stopped and stopped on the road.

The young doctor, carrying a wooden box on his back, chased after him and stood beside the Taoist.

The Taoist looked this man up and down.

"I wonder why your Excellency said this?"

"Is it possible that even a poor Taoist can't enter this Dong County?"

The young doctor shook his head and said immediately.

"If you want to go to Dong County on weekdays, of course you'll be fine."

"But tomorrow is fifteen."

The young man said seriously, as if this was a very special day.

"Tomorrow the city will pray all night, and everyone will fast and bathe."

"Burn incense, pray, and offer sacrifices to the gods."

"The gods may go out for a parade. If you enter Dong County at this time, you may lose your life."

The Taoist frowned: "Fifteenth? Is there anything else to say about this day?"

The young man looked at the Taoist again, as if he could see where he came from.

"Looking at your accent, I thought you were from out of town."

"It seems now, little Taoist Priest, you are not from the Wei Dynasty, are you?"

"Pindao comes from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The man nodded, confirming his previous guess.

"No wonder."

"You may not know that the Taoist Priest is from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but all the counties and prefectures in the Great Wei Dynasty enshrine gods of different sizes."

"Some gods have incense and fire temples spread across several counties or even a state, while some gods only exist in one county."

The young doctor glanced at the Dongxian County seat in the distance: "And in our Dongxian County, all the people believe in the Dongxian Land Empress."

"At this time on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month in the city, people in the city will stop working during the day, and everyone must fast and bathe that day."

"At night, the mages from the Jie Ya will come out to welcome the gods and dharma to the mortal world."

"As soon as it gets dark, everyone must go out and kneel to welcome the gods, burn incense and pray for the gods to come to Dongxian County. The gongs and drums in the city are noisy and the excitement is extremely lively. It doesn't end until midnight."

"Every time on the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, people often disappear for no reason, and they are all handsome sons and fair-looking daughters."

When the young doctor said this, he suddenly paused, as if he thought of something painful.

"It's been a long time in this world."

"Everyone says that the land empress likes handsome people the most."

"Those missing people were all taken underground by the Land Empress to serve the Earth Empress."

"So every time this time comes, some boys and girls in the city will try their best to hide in the houses outside the city. No one dares to run inside like the Taoist Priest."

The young doctor kindly advised: "Little Taoist Master, if you don't have anything important to do, don't go into the city at this time."

The Taoist frowned upon hearing this: "Is there such a thing?"

"So and so? Can you still call yourself a god?"

The young doctor raised his hand as if to say something, but in the end he could only sigh: "How can you and me mortals be able to figure out the affairs of gods?"

The more this happens, the more the Taoist wants to see what kind of monster this so-called Empress of the Earth is.

The Taoist listened and said nothing.

He just drove the car towards Dong County.

The young doctor immediately caught up with him again and shouted.

"Eh!"

"Hey!"

"Why don't you listen to others' advice?"

"You don't know what's good and what's good, and your good intentions are regarded as the liver and lungs of a donkey."

The Taoist didn't say anything, and the young man said as he trotted along with the wooden box on his back.

"Now all the inns in the city are closed to outsiders. If the Taoist priest can't find a place to stay, you can look for me in Jiuping Lane. If anything happens, just don't come out and hide inside."

The Taoist stopped and looked at the young doctor and said, "You are a good old man."

It seemed that this was not the first time that the other party heard such words, and laughed out loud: "It takes courage to be a bad guy when you live in this world. I was born timid and have no courage, so I can only be a good person. Let

I feel at ease and happy.”

The young man cupped his hands and introduced himself.

"I am Lu Xiaolang, a doctor."

"On weekdays, I help get medicines from the drug store, and farmers from all over the country and villages often ask me to see a doctor."

The Taoist nodded and said, "I am a poor Taoist!"

Lu Xiaolang remembered the name: "Master Kongchen, I have to go to Jiejia Village to see a doctor. I don't think I will come back until the afternoon."

"Taoist Master, remember! If you can't find a place to live, come to Jiuping Lane to find me."

After saying that, Lu Xiaolang hurriedly left carrying the wooden box.

Turn around the field path and disappear on the road.

The donkey general dared to speak at this time. The donkey was extremely happy to hear such strange things that might be related to monsters and monsters.

"Sir! The monsters in this poor county are extraordinary."

"She is actually a lustful female seductress. You must not let her go!"

"Master quickly used his magic weapon to subdue this female goblin."

After hearing this, the Taoist just slapped the donkey on the butt.

"Yo yo yo!"

General Donkey immediately howled and ran very fast towards the city.

There was no trouble when passing the county city gate, but the gate guard, like Lu Xiaolang, gave the Taoist a strange look, then whispered and pointed at him after he entered the city.

The Taoist drove the carriage and circled the city.

The streets of Dongxian County are not very wide, and the overall area is not large. After all, it is just a lower county.
