When the middle-aged Taoist priest heard Song Xing's words, he was slightly shocked, but his face showed no expression: "This Taoist friend, there is only Xuanyuan Temple here, and there is no Tianshi Dao."
Song Xing smiled casually and said, "Then I will visit the master of Xuanyuan Temple."
The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at Song Xing who was alone, thought for a while, and asked: "Xuanyuan Temple is not open to the outside world, and has little contact with the outside world. I wonder why my friend is here?"
Song Xing looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest and asked, "What is your identity in Xuanyuan Temple?"
Before the middle-aged Taoist priest could say anything, the Taoist boy who had gone to fetch water for Song Xing hurried over with a pot of water in his hand. When he saw Song Xing standing in front of the main hall, he was shocked and went up to grab his clothes. sleeve:
"Hey, what's going on with you? Didn't you say you can't come in? Get out of here! Get out of here!"
As he was about to pull Song Xing away, the middle-aged Taoist priest frowned when he saw the Taoist boy's behavior and stopped him softly: "Zhiqing, you are a guest, don't be rude."
Only then did the Taoist boy notice the middle-aged Taoist priest next to the stone pillar. He was surprised and bowed: "Master, this good believer came to ask for a drink of water, but unexpectedly he broke into the hall without permission. I will ask him to leave now."
Song Xing stood there, motionless no matter how much Zhi Qing pushed and pulled him. He looked up at the middle-aged Taoist priest and said with a smile: "It turns out that the Taoist priest is the master of Xuanyuan Temple. Song Xing entered the Taoist temple without permission. I hope you will be forgiven for the crime of trespassing." "
As the saying goes, don’t hit anyone with a smiling face. Although Song Xing broke into the temple privately, he always greeted him with a smile. He did not break into the temple without permission. He also behaved with good etiquette. It was not easy for the Taoist to chase people away, so he simply said :
"Zhiqing, don't be rude. Please invite this layman into the side hall to speak."
Song Xing said the name of Tianshi Dao in one breath. It was obvious that he did not enter Xuanyuan Temple by mistake. No matter what his purpose was, he would definitely not leave easily and simply invite people in generously.
Seeing the temple master speaking, Zhiqing did not dare to disobey, so he could only signal Song Xing to follow him to the side hall next to him. Unexpectedly, Song Xing did not move his feet and said again:
"We are of the same lineage as Lao Jun. Please allow me to go to the main hall and offer a stick of incense."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhiqing to stop him, he bypassed him, stepped into the main hall, took three sticks of incense in front of the eucalyptus stand, twisted the thumb and index finger of his right hand, the fire flashed and green smoke rose, and the incense in his hand was already lit.
He respectfully held the incense and bowed, and after inserting three sticks of incense into the incense burner, Song Xing held the yin and yang in both hands, holding the Ziwu inside and Tai Chi outside, and worshiped the old man again with standard Taoist etiquette.
When he turned back, he saw the middle-aged Taoist standing beside him, staring at his hands with a look of doubt in his eyes.
Song Xing looked at Zhiqing who was standing outside the hall. Strangely enough, although Xuanyuan Temple occupies a large area, so far he had only seen Zhiqing and the middle-aged Taoist priest, not anyone else. The existence of Taoist priests.
Looking at the Taoist priest in front of him who had a beard that reached his chest and was thin and handsome, Song Xing hid the suspicion in his eyes very well, cupped his fists and said, "How do you call the priest?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest responded with a salute: "I am a poor Taoist but quiet and far away."
Song Xing said: "It turns out to be Taoist Priest Jingyuan. The number of people in Taoist Priest Xuanyuan Temple is not very prosperous."
….Jingyuan didn’t know why Song Xingxian asked this, but he still said truthfully: “It’s cold in the mountains, and the temple is not open to the public. There are only a few dozen meditation disciples in the sect, which cannot be compared with those famous mountain Taoist temples.”
Song Xing waved his hand disapprovingly: "Taoist temples in famous mountains are very popular, but how can they be said to be true Taoist priests? Taoist priests who do not live in the world of mortals and are dedicated to pure cultivation are the real Taoist priests."
Jingyuan shook his head: "Fellow Taoist, you are so complimentary."
Seeing that Jingyuan was not getting in, Song Xing turned around and said, "This person is a guest. Doesn't Taoist Master invite me to sit down?"
Jingyuan stared at Song Xing for a few times, but saw that he looked curious, looking around at the structure of the main hall, and then said: "There is a place to entertain guests in the side hall next to the main hall. Fellow Taoist, please come with me."
The two of them left the main hall and came to a guest room next to the side hall. Zhiqing quickly brought tea and water to the two of them. He looked at Song Xing curiously and then walked away quietly at Jingyuan's signal. go out.
Jingyuan cooked tea skillfully, and soon a cup of tea was delivered to Song Xing.
Song Xing picked up the celadon tea cup in front of him and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "The foam is as rich as snow, and the Taoist master is also a tea lover."
Jingyuan's eyes showed surprise at first, and then turned calm: "We are poor in the mountains, and we can only serve tea. As long as Taoist friends like it."
Song Xing tasted the tea carefully and slowly told him the origin of the tea. Even the tea-making utensils were from Dongou, which were all treasures from his family. The surprise in Jingyuan's eyes became more and more intense.
"I didn't expect that my Taoist friend at such a young age would be so proficient in the tea ceremony. Listening to your words, I felt as if I was wearing a spring dressing, and the fragrance was lingering in the air."
It can be seen that Jingyuan really likes tea. She is very happy to see Song Xing's extraordinary insights into tea ceremony. Fortunately, she has not lost her mind yet. Seeing Song Xing put down the tea cup, Jingyuan's face straightened and she asked softly:
"I dare to ask my friend, come to my Xuanyuan Temple, why are you here?"
This was the second time Jingyuan asked. Song Xing raised his head and looked directly at Jingyuan, and said calmly: "I am here for the Celestial Master Tao, and for Sun En, the leader of the Celestial Master Tao two hundred years ago."
Jingyuan's expression remained unchanged, and she said in a deep voice: "Pin Dao has already said that this is Xuanyuan Temple and there is no Tianshi Dao. I am afraid that fellow Taoists are looking for the wrong place."
Even though Jingyuan's voice was calm, Song Xing could still hear that his muscles tensed up and his blood flow accelerated, and he was obviously on guard.
When he heard the Tao of the Heavenly Master, Jingyuan's energy could not help but fluctuate. Song Xing noticed that the middle-aged Taoist in front of him had martial arts skills that were almost as good as those of the demon Taoist Bichen, which confirmed his suspicion.
"Why should Taoist deceive me? Xuanyuan Temple and Tianshi Tao are both inherited by Sun En. Is there any difference between looking for Tianshi Tao and Xuanyuan Temple?"
After Sun En Shattered the Void, the South Heavenly Master did not arrange the successor of the Heavenly Master for some reason. As a result, the once largest sect in the south was not only overpowered by the Northern Heavenly Master, but was later overtaken by the Shangqing Sect and the Shangqing Sect. The rising stars such as Lingbao Sect overshadowed the limelight and disappeared from the world, leaving only one Xuanyuan Temple inheritance.
Laojun Temple, as a branch of Taoism that has a longer history than Tianshi Tao, has mastered a large amount of unknown information about Taoism in the past dynasties. It was only then that Song Xing knew the location of Xuanyuan Temple.
Seeing Song Xing's words, Jingyuan knew that there was no point in hiding it anymore, and simply admitted: "Yes, Xuanyuan Temple was indeed a branch of Nantian Master Dao back then. Two hundred years have passed, and we have settled in a corner and just want to be quiet." Cultivation, are you from the same lineage, still unwilling to let us go?"
Seeing the faint anger on Jingyuan's face, Song Xing knew that he had misunderstood and thought that he was someone sent by Shangqing and Lingbao.
Jingyuan saw that Song Xing was silent, thinking that he had guessed it correctly, and said angrily: "After the master shattered the void, all the classics of Tianshi Dao were looted by you, Tianshi Dao has been in decline since then, and only my Xuanyuan lineage is left. , If you don’t live in this world, are you trying to take away even this last shelter?”
Seeing that Jingyuan was going to lift the table and take action if he didn't explain clearly, Song Xing quickly stretched out his hand to comfort him: "Taoist Master Jingyuan, you misunderstood. I am not a member of the Shangqing lineage."
Jingyuan was stunned, and her increasingly fierce anger suddenly had nowhere to vent: "Do you dare to say that the gesture you made when you put the incense just now was not the gesture of praying for blessings from the Shangqing lineage?"
Song Xing laughed and said: "The Shangqing Sect and the Lingbao Sect are just stealing the achievements of their predecessors. Where do they come from the Shangqing lineage? Don't confuse me, Laojun Guan, with the Shangqing Sect."
Jingyuan was a little hesitant, but still looked at Song Xing with alert eyes: "You said you are not of the Shangqing lineage, what proof do you have?"
Song Xing stretched out his right hand in front of Jingyuan. Jingyuan was surprised at first, and then felt a familiar wave of zhenqi coming from Song Xing's hand. His face suddenly changed, and he suddenly stood up. In shock, he blurted out: "All the spiritual orifices are there." Open, water, fire, dragon and tiger, Huang Tian Dafa!"
