Qin Liuxi looked at the stone road covered with weeds in front of him, as well as a Taoist temple with a tiled roof hidden among the vegetation. He breathed a little quickly and looked at Taoist Chi Yuan.
"What were you talking about before? The predecessor of the sect was the Qingping Sect. A huge sect evolved into a Taoist temple. This was the reason for the lack of spiritual energy and the loss of branches for thousands of years. However, it is also a famous grand temple." Qin Liuxi pointed to the obvious place above. The Taoist temple was dilapidated and had no incense. He glared and said, "You call this a big temple? Do you have some misunderstanding about the word big? Isn't this a ruined temple?"
Taoist priest Chi Yuan coughed lightly and said: "I have been traveling as a Taoist in these years and looking for traces of traitors in Qingping Temple, so I have neglected my duties. In addition, the late emperor suppressed Taoism, which led to the decline of many Taoist temples. Our Qingping Temple is at its peak." At that time, there were dozens of disciples.”
Qin Liuxi said: "But there is no successor, is there?"
Taoist Priest Chi Yuan felt a little angry. A dead child would only tell the truth. He refused to accept the words and said: "Don't look at it in ruins, but the foundation is still there."
"oh?"
Taoist priest Chi Yuan narrowed his eyes and said: "Taoism was suppressed in the past few years, and not everyone stood still and was beaten. The smart ones all knew to leave a way out, either hiding in the mountains to practice as a retreat, or hiding their backgrounds in order to Will make a comeback in the future.”
Qin Liuxi's eyes lit up: "You mean Qingpingguan also hides Lao Di?"
“Exactly.”
“Is it the money for sesame oil? How much money you have, you can repair the Taoist temple.” If so, it doesn’t mean you can’t stay.
“That’s not the case.” Taoist Priest Chi Yuan lowered his head and looked at the Taoist robe that he had been mending for three years, and said, “If there is sesame oil, why should I wear this as a teacher?”
Qin Liuxi looked at his patched Taoist robe and worn-out black cloth shoes, glanced at the corner of his mouth and said, "What's there?"
“Nature is inheritance.”
Qin Liuxi's little face turned bitter: "So, you don't have any money?"
Taoist Priest Chi Yuan patted his robe and said, "All the usable silver is here."
Qin Liuxi: “…”
I'm sorry, I want to go back to the Qin family. I heard that I am the official lady of that family!
The money in his bag is only two taels, so I don't know what it can be used for.
"Nizi, what are you thinking about?" Taoist priest Chi Yuan knocked her forehead and said: "The inheritance of the master is the most important treasure. Learn the Tao and Dharma well, and one hexagram is worth ten thousand gold. How can those yellow and white things compare? of?"
"Rong Shuzi tells you the truth. The fine wine you drink and the roast chicken you eat are all exchanged for yellow and white things." Qin Liuxi pointed at the Taoist temple and snorted: "Also, what you eat at Qingping Temple Master Patriarch came to me and said, "Yellow and white things are worth nothing?"
Taoist Priest Chi Yuan was choked to the point of being speechless. He did not dare to do this.
But it’s just a golden body, that’s nothing. They have talented and intelligent disciples!
Taoist Priest Chi Yuan put his hand on her head and said with a serious tone: "I am an old master. You are my fourth generation disciple of Qingpingguan. The important task of revitalizing the sect will be left to you."
Qin Liuxi: "?"
At the age of five, she wanted to rebel and leave the school before she entered the Guanmen sect.
As if looking into her mind, Taoist Chi Yuan said quickly: "Don't worry, I only have you as my disciple. From now on, the position of the master of this Taoist temple will be yours. Therefore, you must study the five Taoist arts seriously and diligently." , Earn a lot of sesame oil for the Taoist temple, and earn thousands of merits yourself. You can save people, ghosts, and yourself. You can achieve multiple things with one move, and it is a great good!"
“You don’t believe in being a teacher?” Taoist Priest Chi Yuan looked heartbroken.
Qin Liuxi was about to speak when a joyful cry from behind made her turn around. “Master, master, you are indeed back.”
She turned her head and saw a man with a round face and an old yellow Taoist robe running towards her with a bamboo basket on his back. He looked at Taoist Priest Chi Yuan with a happy face.
“Master.” The man stood in front of them and said with a smile, “Qingyuan has finally arrived.”
Qin Liuxi couldn't help but look at Taoist Chi Yuan, whose eyes were evasive, and sneered: "The only disciple?"
Taoist priest Chi Yuan immediately said: "This is a fellow Taoist who is going to join our Qingping Temple and join the master's sect. His Taoist name is Qingyuan. He joined the Tao earlier than you and is older than you. It's appropriate for you to call him Senior Brother." Yes. Disciples are also divided into direct disciples and outer disciples. You are the only direct disciple of my master, and you are the closed disciple."
Qin Liuxi rolled his eyes.
Qingyuan looked at the little one, smiled with his eyes crooked, and said, "Is this my little junior brother?"
Taoist Priest Chi Yuan nodded: "She doesn't ask for a Taoist title."
“Junior brother.” Qingyuan saluted Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi returned the gift, seeming to accept his fate.
However, as the three of them walked up, clearing weeds and clearing their way out, until they came to the Taoist temple, she once again had the idea of running away.
Very broken.
The square is covered with moss and weeds, the door frames have long been removed, the window paper is in tatters, and the Qingpingguan plaque is about to fall off, all showing signs of dilapidation.
Entering the main hall, all that was left of the Patriarch was a clay statue. The body was full of pits and pits, as if the valuable gold foil had been dug away with some sharp blade. It looked extremely pitiful. The incense burner did not exist.
It has been a long time since the owner of this temple was welcomed back, and everything that could be used had been gathered up.
Qin Liuxi couldn't bear to look directly at him, and was about to ask Taoist Chi Yuan.
He screamed and said in a sharp voice: "I haven't come back for five years, and I haven't even left an incense burner for me. It's too outrageous. My ancestor doesn't care about our family either..."
He ran like a gust of wind towards the abbey room in the back hall, and after a while, another howl was heard.
Qin Liuxi looked at Qingyuan and said, "Were you also tricked?"
Qingyuan groaned and said: "Cheating... doesn't count. I am just a Taoist. I have learned some skills from an old Taoist since I was a child. But I can do some Zhaijiao. I can read a little bit of fortune-telling. There are ten hexagrams and nine hexagrams in the hexagrams." Not allowed."
He chuckled innocently: "Master said, I will place orders, and he will also teach me physiognomy, medicine, and hexagrams. You can also read the books in the temple to your heart's content."
“Does this look like a collection of books to you?”
Qingyuan smiled a little awkwardly and said: "Maybe the master is hiding. In the past, the Taoist sect was suppressed, and there were many fellow Taoists who hid some treasures. In any case, with the Taoist temple entrance order, I don't have to move around. I earned some money by being a magician."
He looked at Qin Liuxi with burning eyes: "I heard from the master that he has a disciple who will be the glory of the master. I think it is you, junior brother. With you here, the Taoist temple will definitely regain its splendor and prosperity in the future. Take a look at it. Extraordinary.”
So you are saying, do you rely on me to be a cow or a horse?
Qin Liuxi took two steps back. I understand how the old man tricked you into placing orders. He was attracted by your mouth! (End of chapter)
