There have always been very few people visiting Shouqiu Temple, but this time it was different. In the past few days, so many Taoists came to the door. No one could have guessed that this temple was originally invisible in the world, and it fell on the other side of the sky. Why are there so many Taoists visiting the Hanging Taoist Temple? Some of them have wide robes and long sleeves fluttering in the dust, but they are wearing Taoist crowns, but their clothes are old, with holes everywhere, and they are covered with dust. They have just stepped into the Taoist temple. He shook his tattered Taoist robes, then spoke softly, greeted the two boys who were guarding the temple, and stepped into the Taoist temple on his own.
Among them, Taoists came from all directions, mostly riding cranes on the clouds. It seemed that they were extremely high masters who had surpassed the three realms. Now they are coming one after another. It is really like an immortal family landing on the ground, traveling around and gathering.
All kinds of tricks are useless. Even Qian Yin with a lazy and negligent temperament cannot withstand such oppression, so he often curses in the street, using all the scolding tone learned in the market and Nangongshan Middle School. Pointing the noses of the two Taoists, they often had to scold them for hundreds or eighty times before they could get some relief from the depression in their chests, and they continued to read obediently with their heads down.
The two Taoist boys in front of the door looked at Qian Yin's dark eyes and unkempt face. They smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Among them, the fair-skinned Taoist boy smiled first and said, "Thanks to you, brother, I still recite the Taoist sect." It has been noted for a long time that even if you were a fake Taoist priest before, you should now know all the rules in our Taoist sect. The end of March and the beginning of April is the time when Taoist sects all over the world travel around and visit Taoist temples. The Taoist sect was most prosperous during the period when the national destiny was still in full swing. The largest Taoist temple had more than 10,000 Taoist sects visiting it. Dozens of people from the Taoist sect would trample the threshold, so this day was simply called the Taoist Festival. Every year at the end of March or the beginning of April , everyone in the Taoist sect moves around like this."
Qian Yin smacked his lips, touched his already loose belly, and wondered if someone could bring some delicious food. Even if he absolutely couldn't eat meat, he could still get out of the day-to-day meal and eat some delicious dishes. , I have been working hard for many days, and my belly, which was originally strong, is now as listless as myself. It is like after autumn, the wild fruits are still hanging on the branches without being picked, and only the remaining skin can barely support it.
It was a rare day for him to come out today. Qian Yin dragged a wide Taoist robe and walked out of the Taoist temple sleepily. He saw dozens of white cranes and more than a dozen clouds outside the sky, roaring from all directions, thousands of miles away in an instant. Even his expression He moved slightly, came close to the two Taoist boys guarding the temple, and said with a flattering smile, "Two immortal masters, dare I ask why today is an important day for the Taoist sect? A mere small temple has attracted so many Taoist sect masters. Look, Coming here is like landing in a fairy home in heaven, and traveling around the world is truly a wonderful sight."
Although they were just two Taoist boys guarding the door, the etiquette could not be sloppy. Since that day when Qian Yin stepped into the Taoist temple, he had fallen from the Datian Palace to the earth of the underworld. Every day, he taught the two Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. He forcibly twisted his ears and went to immerse himself in reading those Taoist books and classics. He got up early and stayed late. Even though he was so tired that his eyesight was dim, he could only take a nap for two or three hours. Then he was forced to stand up again by these two tireless Taoists and continued to suffer. Reading those Taoist classics and volumes that had been hidden for who knows how many years, it took me several months to read them, and I had no time to write a letter home and send it back to the mountain.
It's not that Qian Yin was willing to immerse himself in reading such difficult books, but no matter how much magical power he used, the two Taoists, one tall and one short, did not use any means to deal with it. They just waved their sleeves with disdain and waved their sleeves. Qian Yin's endless tricks turned into dust. The law did not come to him, and he was calm and calm. On the contrary, when Qian Yin came to study the Taoist scrolls, he could calm down the grinning Qian Yin by just raising his hand, and then threw it to him as he pleased. Among the piles of books, this fat fake Taoist priest was forced to study hard by pressing his forehead.
"There are quite a few Taoist masters." Qian Yin, who was also wearing a Taoist robe, did not appear to have such a noble demeanor. He glanced at the two Taoist boys on the side and said with a smile, "How come from this? I have never heard of such a number of practitioners in the Taoist sect. It seems that my knowledge is still shallow. I have never recognized how profound the Taoist sect is. With this kind of ability, let alone the Buddhist sect, I am afraid that the Taoist sect will not be included in the ordinary country. In my eyes, I feel disrespectful and disrespectful.”
The two Taoist boys were carrying a gun, a stick, and a needle hidden in the cotton. Although the two Taoist boys were still young, it was difficult to say what was wrong with the lazy man's words. However, they all felt that it was very unpleasant to listen to, so the Taoist boy among them was very dark-skinned. He muttered a few words and was very dissatisfied, "Where the Taoist sect is pure, no one cares about competing for the first place in the world. Whether it is Buddhism or Mi sect, they never force people to believe in it, and they can't tell the difference between high and low. As for those in the world The Taoist sect has never deliberately intervened in the big and small matters between several countries that have been fighting for a long time and must be reunited and divided.
Qian Yin smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Those who have been clamoring to hide from the world and live in seclusion all day long may not necessarily be inferior to those who pursue fame and fortune. The predecessor of the Qi Dynasty between the two dynasties had such a Taoist strategist. , is the best at killing families. When arranging troops, he often leaves no chance of survival. He traps and kills no less than one hundred thousand soldiers who died tragically in the hands of this Taoist. How can he be regarded as someone who has no one to interfere with the affairs of the world, and can he be regarded as pure and devoid of desires? "
Shouqiu Temple is usually hidden in the world, but it is rare to reappear today. The Taoist visitors have almost occupied this temple. Although it is spacious, it is still a little tight now. If there are more people visiting, I am afraid it will be really difficult. It was so crowded that there was no place to stay, and the two Taoist priests who greeted the visiting Taoist priests inside had a rare smile on their originally plain faces. Most likely they were thinking about Taoism in the world. As expected, there were still many wandering people visiting, which was nothing compared to the rest. After a few sects were gone, the Taoist sect was still prosperous and stable in the world, so Qian Yin was temporarily forgotten about being lazy and running out, and was busy greeting the Taoists coming and going.
Qian Yin sat outside the view and propped his head with his palms, looking at the rainbow-colored white cranes and cloud-headed pictures coming from the horizon, but his eyebrows furrowed.
There are quite a few people in the Taoist sect in the world, but this Deficiency View is clearly hanging in the air, standing in a place that separates heaven and earth. It is absolutely difficult for ordinary Taoists to set foot in it. But now, hundreds of people with cultivation levels higher than the three realms have come from nowhere. But the cultivators who came to heaven through various means, and all of them were dressed as Taoists. When they stepped in front of the Taoist temple, they were familiar with the door etiquette. They did not look like people who were deliberately disguised and came to disturb these people. Virtues rarely have a mundane view of deficiency.
A few white cranes scattered outside the sky and landed on the ground one after another. The outside of Shouxiu Temple became deserted. The Taoists dressed in different clothes in the temple were already bustling and noisy. Even if they lowered their voices, the whole Shouxiu Temple still seemed very lively. , totally worthy of the sight that can be heard even at sunset.
But the smiles of the two Taoists outside the door gradually faded. Looking at the vast wilderness below the temple where no trace of people could be seen, their expressions turned slightly more sad.
"It seems that no one will come today." The tall and thin Taoist sighed softly, dusted off the whisk, waited for a while, looked at the sunset, sighed deeply, stood up and looked back.
The two Taoist boys were obviously aware of this matter. When they heard that Qian Yin was causing such nonsense, they opened their mouths to argue, but they were slapped on the back of the head by two Taoist priests, one tall and one short, who walked out of the temple, and they both stopped talking.
"There are exceptions to everything. A beggar can also wear a yellow robe and become a ninety-five-year-old. So, all the beggars in the world can become emperors?" One of the tall, thin Taoists with a white face and no beard raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows at Qian Yin's words. He was very disapproving and glared at Qian Yin, seeming to have recalled that the latter should still be studying hard in the temple. When he was about to take two steps forward and drag Qian Yin back to the temple, he was stopped by the short and fat man. The Taoist raised his hand to stop him, "Since today is the day of observation, let this kid rest for a day. It doesn't hurt to think about it. Although he has received the guidance of the Taoist master and needs to cultivate it with all his heart, but pulling the seedlings to encourage such things is still It's better to do less, and let this lazy boy look at the sun, moon and stars from time to time, just take a few steps after tea and dinner to make the internal organs more active."
The tall and thin Taoist looked at Qian Yin's miserable expression and knew that this brat was deliberately pretending to be aggrieved in order to escape from studying hard all day long, but in the end he sighed and ignored him.
But the old Taoist still comes here every year. Even if the two Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, one tall and one short, try to persuade him, they still take advantage of this time to go to Shouqiu Temple every year.
Originally hanging in mid-air in Shouxiuguan, there were two Taoist boys and two Taoist priests standing in front of the door. One was black and the other was white, one was tall and the other was short. The energy in the whole body was surging, and then in an instant. No trace at all.
The old Taoist's residence is not far from here. If you drive a horse, it will only take three to five days to travel. But for an old Taoist who is already seventy years old, it is probably an extremely long journey, as if he were in his prime. A man traverses the entire territory of a country with his footsteps. His steps are faltering and extremely dangerous, and many pairs of straw sandals are worn out.
The short and fat Taoist was very disapproving, pointing to a hillside far to the west, "Why is no one here? Senior brother has been staying in Deficiency Watch all year round, and his eyes are not as good as usual now."
A frail old Taoist man was standing on the hillside, building a pergola with trembling hands and looking up at the sky. Perhaps he was too old and his eyesight was dim. He could only vaguely see a boundary in the mid-air, and then he carefully picked it up. He took down the water bag in his arms, and then carefully swallowed a small sip of water. He sat down and took off his worn-out straw sandals. He took out a pair of brand-new straw sandals from the personal package and put them on. He put the worn-out straw sandals aside and buried them carefully. Okay, and then walked away step by step.
A huge Shouqiu Temple is located in the middle of the lake.
Two figures walked out of them, borrowed white cranes, and walked straight up the slope.
