Song Jiang originally wanted to ask the young Taoist priest whether he was a descendant of Qing Xuzi, but he was interrupted by the other party, "I have a very close relationship with these two good people. Here are two consecrated jade from our sect as gifts to you. It can guarantee that these two good people will be rich, prosperous, safe and happy..."
After the young Taoist priest finished speaking, he took out two jade pendants tied with red ropes from his body and thrust them into Song Jiang's hand without saying a word. Song Jiang quickly shied away and said, "No, no! This... is too precious!" "
Unexpectedly, the young Taoist priest suddenly changed the subject and said, "We are destined to meet each other, and good people don't have to shirk... If you feel that it's inappropriate to give a free gift, you can also add some incense money to the temple. Three thousand and five thousand is not too little." , One hundred and eighty thousand is never too much."
The words of the young Taoist priest almost made Song Jiang fall back in fear. He thought to himself, good guy, three thousand and five thousand is not too little for just opening your mouth? How many meals of soy milk and fried dough sticks can the two of them eat with three thousand five thousand?
Thinking of this, Song Jiang said with some embarrassment, "To be honest, the Taoist priest said that we went up the mountain today because we have something to do and want to see the abbot of your temple."
The young Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "My master is practicing in seclusion and it is not convenient to see guests. What the two good people want is the same as what the Taoist said..."
At this time, Meng Zhe who was standing by said unceremoniously, "What is the name of your current host?! What is his relationship with Qing Xuzi?"
When the young Taoist priest heard Meng Zhe mention the three words "Qing Xuzi", his expression changed instantly. When Meng Zhe saw it, he asked in a deep voice, "What? Hasn't the little Taoist priest never heard of this name?"
After hearing this, the young Taoist sighed and said, "You two good men were joking. Taoist Master Qingxuzi is the grand master of Xiaodao. How can Xiaodao not know his name?"
Meng Zhe nodded as soon as he heard this and said, "That's good... hurry up and tell the current temple master that we are old friends of Taoist Master Qingxuzi and we have something to discuss today."
Although the young Taoist priest was a little confused that the two people in front of him did not look like Taishizu's old friends, but just because the other party could directly report Taishizu's name, he naturally did not dare to neglect it easily...
So the young Taoist priest hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Two good men, wait a moment... come back as soon as you go to the trail."
After the young Taoist priest entered, Song Jiang whispered, "Didn't that Qingxu Zi say that his sect has no descendants? But you can see how impressive this Taoist temple is. You can tell it is very popular at a glance."
After hearing this, Meng Zhe hummed and said, "There are many ways to inherit it... As long as this Taoist temple still exists, there will naturally be successors who will continue it."
While the two were talking, the young Taoist priest came back and said, "You two good people, please come in along the path. The master has invited you..."
Then Song Jiang and Meng Zhe were taken to an elegantly decorated room by the young Taoist priest. A slightly fat old Taoist priest was sitting in the room with a smile. As soon as he saw them, he stood up very politely and said, "I am a poor Taoist." His name is Qing Xiaozi, and he is the current host of Yuzhen Temple. I wonder how these two little good people knew Master Pindao?"
Song Jiang didn't know how to answer for a while. He couldn't say that he had just met him, so he turned to look at Meng Zhe. Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe asked directly, "Do you know that your master has been at the foot of the mountain these years?" In the reservoir?!”
Qing Xiaozi obviously didn't expect that Meng Zhe would casually mention the biggest taboo of their sect. He was silent for a while, then waved his hand to the young Taoist priest and said, "Jingxuan, you go out and guard, for the master and the two good people." We have important matters to discuss, and outsiders are not allowed to approach at will..."
The young Taoist priest named Jingxuan looked a little surprised after hearing this, but he still answered honestly, "Yes..." and then turned around and went out.
After Jingxuan left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. After a moment of silence, Qing Xiaozi said as if he had made up his mind, "You two little good people don't know something. In fact, there is something about the master Qingxuzi." It has always been the biggest taboo in our sect. Pindao's master, Ling Yun Sanren, had issued an order before his death that no one in the sect could mention the master's affairs. But what puzzled Pindao was that his master had already told the story two hundred years ago. Yu Hua, how did these two little good people know about Master Pindao?"
Meng Zhe immediately understood the key point of Qing Xiaozi's words and asked in a deep voice, "The biggest taboo? Is it because of the demon-suppressing formation?!"
As soon as these words came out, Qing Xiaozi's face became even more ugly, "Young people, who are you? How do you know..."
"You know the taboos of your sect, right?! I want to say that your master Qing Xuzi told me...do you believe it?" Meng Zhe said first.
"That's nonsense! The poor Taoist master has already emerged, how could he tell the secrets of our sect to an outsider?!" Qing Xiaozi said angrily.
But Meng Zhe didn't want to continue talking in circles with him, but said straightforwardly, "The ghost of that old ghost Qingxuzi is still in the reservoir at the foot of the mountain. If you don't believe it, just come with me to see it tonight. He said that your teacher Our sect has to protect the demon-suppressing formation for generations to come, what’s the matter? By your generation, this matter will be overturned?!”
After hearing this, Qing Xiaozi looked at Meng Zhe with half-squinted eyes for a long time, and then said quietly, "How dare you forget the master's mission, but some of the things that the master... did back then were indeed against the moral principles of the master, so My master told me repeatedly before he emerged, not to mention my master’s affairs to anyone again.”
"So you just let the reservoir matter go as it should?" Meng Zhe asked coldly.
Qing Xiaozi shook his head after hearing this and said, "Master said that the demon-suppressing array that our master set up back then could guarantee a thousand years of peace of mind, but the cost was too heavy, so our master must try our best to atone for his sins and repay what he owed back then." The debt. I see that you two are both young, I wonder how you know these things?"
Meng Zhe saw that Qing Xiaozi was living such a carefree life and had the nerve to keep saying that he would pay off his master's debt, so he said angrily, "The demon-suppressing formation in the reservoir is about to break! Do you have any countermeasures? !”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Meng Zhe said these words, Qing Xiaozi was so frightened that his face turned livid, and he stammered, "It's broken... How is this possible? Master said it can last at least a few hundred years? Why?" It has only been broken for two hundred years?! It’s over. If that thing is really released, then all of us will have to worry about it!”
Song Jiang saw that Qing Xiaozi was panicked when he heard that the demon-suppressing formation was about to be broken. He saw that this old Taoist was really just showing up, and there was no chance of counting on him, so he said helplessly, "Taoist Priest Don’t be afraid, it’s just about to be broken now.”
