Changsheng's trip was originally for the turtle treasure, but Taiping Taoist took the initiative to offer the turtle treasure, which made Changsheng very embarrassed. Taiping Taoist was a simple and kind-hearted person, and he was an honest man, so he calculated this little thing about it. , It’s really not kind.
Taoist Taiping didn't know what Changsheng was thinking. Seeing that he didn't answer the question, he became a little anxious, "Master, you just said that the court also needs money. I don't know if you are telling the truth or just to deal with those evil people, no matter where they are." In any case, please take this thing away. I am devoted to cultivation and do not seek wealth. This thing is of no use to me. Keeping it around will only bring disaster to me."
After hearing Taoist Taiping's words, Changsheng stretched out his hand and took the red ball. Taoist Taiping had already mentioned this, and if he refused, it would not be polite but hypocritical.
It could be seen that Taiping Taoist really wanted to send this hot potato away. After Changsheng took the turtle treasure, Taiping Taoist was relieved and took a long breath.
Changsheng held the turtle treasure in his hand and said seriously, "To tell the truth from the Taoist Priest, the war in Huangchao greatly damaged the vitality of the Tang Dynasty. Every year during the lean season, many people in various states and counties starve to death. The Taoist Priest's generous gift will benefit countless people." To benefit and survive is actually a sign of great kindness and immeasurable merit."
Changsheng's words made Taiping Taoist quite frightened, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "The real person is too praised, and the poor Taoist cannot deserve it. I only gave this thing to the real person to avoid disasters, and I didn't think much about anything else."
"Taoist priests don't need to be too modest. Whether you do it intentionally or not, you will be rewarded if you accumulate virtue and do good deeds." Changsheng said.
The more Changsheng said this, the more embarrassed Taiping Taoist became. In order to relieve the embarrassment, he hurriedly raised his hand sideways and said, "It's cold outside, please speak in the master's palace."
Changsheng raised his hand in courtesy, and then followed Taoist Taiping to the main room.
When the two were talking earlier, little Jin Baoer couldn't bear the cold and had already gone to the west wing to warm himself by the fire. When Taoist Taiping led Changsheng to the main room, he turned to look at the west wing and rushed to the deaf-mute who was standing at the door. The old woman made a gesture of making tea.
Due to previous looting and looting by Gongsun Chengwei and others, the temple was very messy. Taiping Taoist immediately began to move and tidy up the temple after entering the temple. Changsheng took the opportunity to offer incense to the statue. This is also the inherent etiquette for Taoists visiting other Taoist temples.
After a brief tidying up, the two were seated separately. Taoist Taoist Taiping once again thanked Changsheng solemnly. Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Taoist Master, the property in the Taoist temple has been looted by those soldiers and bandits, and you have given the spiritual pearl as a gift." Court, how will you live in the future?"
The Taiping Taoist shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about it. The villains only stole the items outside. There is still a lot of gold and silver in the cellar, which is enough for the three of us to live on."
Hearing Taoist Taiping say this, Changsheng felt relieved and turned to ask, "Excuse me, Taoist Master, how to use this spirit bead?"
"You only need to wear this thing with you to search for treasures in the dark night. You can have a panoramic view of gold, silver, pearls and jade within nine feet of the ground." Taiping Taoist paused briefly here, then continued, "If you want to see If it is deeper, you need to cut the skin and insert it into the left arm Cun Guanchi. After it is connected with the flesh and blood, you can see down to three feet."
Hearing Taoist Taoist Taiping's words, Changsheng nodded repeatedly and turned to keep the turtle treasure red bead close to his body.
At this moment, the deaf-mute old woman brought tea, and little Jinbaoer followed the old woman to the main room. When the old woman put down the tea bowl, little Jinbao followed her back to the west wing.
Changsheng held the tea in his hand and asked casually, "Taoist Master, is Hao Jinbao still obedient?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Taiping Taoist nodded and answered.
Although Taiping Taoist said it was good, Chang Sheng did not think it was true, because Xiao Jinbao was the reincarnation of the monk who saw his nature, and the little fat man Ding Dazhong who was the reincarnation of Dorje Dharma King was the reincarnation of the eminent monk. Children like this reincarnation of eminent monks , he was very naughty before his past life memories awakened.
"Taoist Priest is tired." Chang Sheng thanked him tactfully. As the saying goes, one must be loyal to others. Yu Yi's Zhengyan Fa Zang and Shi Xuanming's Notes on Conquering Demons are both Buddhist magical powers left by monk Jian Xing. Since I took someone else's He should do the errands entrusted by others, but in fact, he should take care of little Jinbao. Taiping Taoist is raising it on his behalf.
Taiping Taoist waved his hand and said, "The real man is serious. This child was brought to the mountain by a poor Taoist. Everything is due to fate."
What Taiping Taoist said was correct. It was indeed the little Jinbao who brought him to Taipingguan. However, at that time, Taiping Taoist wanted to accept Xiao Jinbao as his apprentice. Who knew that Xiao Jinbao was the reincarnation of Arhat, so naturally he could not accept him as his apprentice. In this case, She became a nurse holding the baby, working in vain.
Changsheng took a sip of tea and returned the cup to the table. "Children are naughty. Taoist priests don't need to overindulge them. In the future, don't let them go down the mountain casually. They always give away money and show off their wealth, so as not to reveal their wealth and cause disaster."
"What the real person reminds me is," Taiping Taoist nodded and asked, "I just heard those evil people calling the real person a prince. The real person is a high-level master of our sect. How did he become a thousand-year-old prince?"
Changsheng said casually, "The Taoist priest lives in seclusion and has no distractions. I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the situation outside the mountain. At present, wars are raging and the people are in dire straits. I followed Zhenren Zhang from Longhu Mountain to become an official. I made some contributions and was awarded the title of "Master" by the current emperor. king."
"Oh, oh." Taiping Taoist was not interested in the political situation.
The Taiping Taoist was a strange person and was not good at talking. After that, he became silent. Changsheng did not want to wait any longer, so he asked, "May I ask, sir, do you have any predictions about the time when the tribulation will be overcome?"
"Ask the real person," Taiping Taoist shook his head and said, "A poor Taoist is stupid by nature. Going through the tribulation into the purple is like running a horse on Wangshan Mountain. It seems to be close at hand, but in fact it is far away."
After hearing what Taiping Taoist said, Chang Sheng raised his head and drank the tea in the tea bowl, and then poured a little spiritual energy into the tea bowl. "Taoist Master, please put this tea bowl away. If you have a premonition that the disaster is approaching or you are in danger again, you can Smash the tea bowl, I will sense it and I will come as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the Taiping Taoist stood up, bowed his head to Changsheng, and solemnly thanked him.
Changsheng stood up, raised his hand to return the salute, and then said, "I happened to be on an errand from the South this time, so I came immediately when I sensed the call. On weekdays, I wander around, and may not be nearby. If the Taoist priest has an assignment, I will be there at last." It’s good to be informed in advance.”
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I will note it down." Taiping Taoist nodded.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and Immortality will not wait any longer. I thanked him again and then raised his hand to leave.
The Taiping Taoist said, "The real person has come a long way, and there are many hardships on the way. The meal has been prepared under the stove. If the real person does not give up..."
Before Taoist Taoist Taiping could finish speaking, Changsheng waved his hand and interrupted it, "No more bothering you, I'm leaving now."
Seeing that Changsheng had decided to leave, Taoist Taoist priests no longer wanted to keep him and sent him out personally.
Gongsun Chengwei and others left in a panic, and a lot of utensils fell outside the door. Changsheng whistled to summon Mr. Hei, and when Mr. Hei arrived, he helped the Taiping Taoist pick up various utensils scattered on the ground.
Because the Turtle Treasure is collected close to the body, it works invisibly. The objects scattered on the ground have an extra layer of light in the eyes of Changsheng. The gold objects exude a golden light, the silver ones emit a silvery light, and the copper ones emit a silvery light. The device emits green and yellow light.
Phosgene is just a thin layer, tightly attached to the periphery of the utensils. At this time, the utensils are not buried deep underground, so the utensils themselves can be seen. If the utensils are buried deep underground, the phosgene can also be used to determine what is buried underground. What shape and material it is.
When Mr. Hei arrived, Changsheng took off a few square tea bricks from his horse and gave them to Taoist Taiping. In fact, the gifts he prepared for Taoist Taiping were far more than these, but it was inconvenient for him to take them all out at this time, otherwise it would not be a temporary rush. Come, but be prepared in advance.
Taoist Taiping took the brick of tea and thanked him. Changsheng wanted to say a few more words to it, but after thinking about it, he did not say anything. Taoist Taiping was not an aggressive person, he was even a bit cowardly. This kind of persuasion was useless. Don't dare to fight with others.
Saying goodbye to Taiping Taoist, Changsheng got on his horse and galloped eastward.
Things went very smoothly this time when going south. The pressure in Changsheng's heart was relieved a little, and he got it in time. If he had come a moment later, Taiping Taoist would probably be killed by Gongsun Chengwei and others, and with the beggar gang's behavior , murder and silence are inevitable, and little Jinbao and the deaf-mute old woman will certainly not be spared by then.
It was nearly the fourth watch at this time and it was still dark. Changsheng wanted to test the turtle treasure and urged his horse to move quickly. Taiping Taoists have been active in this area all year round, and even if there are any good things in the ground, they have dug them away.
When he arrived in Ashan County, Changsheng discovered that there was a lot of phosphorus underground. Although things were buried deep underground and their true appearance could not be seen, they could tell what they were based on the shape and color of the phosgene.
However, Ashan County is very poor. If you look around, you will see that most of the underground is densely populated with copper coins, and there is nothing very good...
