Chapter 259 So So So (1)

Laojun Temple is located on the waist of Qixia Mountain and is built along the mountain, which is a bit steep.

It is not as magnificent as a temple, and it is magnificent. It has no huge temples or tall mountain gates. Instead, it is arranged in a staggered and inlaid on the hillside. The dark colors of the entire Taoist temple are integrated with the mountains, rocks and trees in the mountains.

The Taoist temple is simple and unpretentious, but it looks like the traditional Chinese courtyard. The main body is the main hall with a slightly higher terrain, and the side hall is on both sides. The old and the young are orderly, and the superiors are different. Whether it is the courtyard wall or the roof, they are faintly dilapidated, exuding a sense of vicissitudes.

In front of the open viewing door, there was no Taoist who welcomed guests, but let the tourists enter and exit.

The main hall dedicated to Laojun is quite shabby. It is not copper or gold. Instead, it is like mud. It has no temperament of gods, but it is more like an elder in the family.

Zhu Yunxiu and the old man came in with Sanwu's entourage, but no one paid attention to him. In the huge courtyard, there was no Taoist. There was only a layman wearing plain clothes, and he distributed incense to the tourists and believers one by one at the entrance of Laojun Hall.

Each person only gave three incense sticks. After giving them, he turned a blind eye to the copper coins taken out by the tourists.

Not only do not charge incense money, but the merit box with peeling red paint like rotten wood is casually arranged in inconspicuous places. There are some copper coins scattered around it. If you didn’t search on purpose, you wouldn’t be able to find it.

The old man looked around for a while and turned around and smiled. This was like a place for monks, quiet and not as stinking as money!

Zhu Yunxiu also nodded around him. Somehow, this Taoist temple can make people feel particularly stable, completely different from being utilitarian in a temple. Most people make wishes in front of Buddhas, but here is quiet and far-reaching.

They are all monks, and if those monks come, they will be so embarrassed! The old man smiled again.

I am afraid that I will laugh at these Taoists in my heart, not knowing the management skills, and I will scold these people in my heart, pretending to be aloof! Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.

Ha! The old man laughed loudly and said as he walked. When we were in the temple, the elders always joked about the Taoist sages in private, saying that they were begging for their lives. They also joked about the rich people in the village, saying that they were iron roosters and were silent!

Grandpa, you have allocated a lot of money to Longxing Temple over the years!

Longxing Temple means the place where the dragons rise in the Ming Dynasty. When the old man was born, the old man in the family was afraid that his son would have a poor life in the future, so he used his only few money to make a name for himself in the temple.

When the old man was young, he also became a monk here. He was called a monk, but in fact he was just a monk who was a mess and was not welcomed at all. Not only did he have no status in the temple, he also spent most of his time traveling around the world, and he wanted to beg for alms everywhere.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, because of the old man, he immediately went from an unknown temple to the height of the Royal Imperial Temple, and because he was in Zhongdu, he had a respectable status.

This year, Zhu Yunxiu asked those civil servants to investigate the temple property in the world. Among the temples in various parts of the world, only Longxing Temple was spared.

After all, it is the place we have been, after all, it is the place where your grandmother burns incense and makes wishes! The old man smiled slightly. No matter what, if there was no place to take in back then, we might not be able to be today. Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and the world talks about worldly style!

The world talks about human feelings and worldly affairs.

Those who accomplish great things will not care about someone or place even if they are a little unhappy. Otherwise, they will be unwilling tolerant and will be criticized.

The grandfather and grandson talked and laughed, but did not enter the main hall, but walked towards the side courtyard.

Just after crossing the round door of the side courtyard, a middle-aged Taoist robe with patches came towards him.

Several lay Buddhists, the backyard is where Taoist people of the temple live, so no outsiders can enter!

Zhu Yunxiu stepped forward and said with a smile, "I heard that there is a famous Taoist priest in Guiguan, who is quite famous." We came from the capital to see you. Please be kind to you!"

The Taoist looked at the two men. Although they were traveling in confinement, they had extraordinary temperament. At first glance, the clothes on their bodies were neither rich nor noble. Moreover, they were rich and noble people who had been in high positions for a long time and were domineering. Moreover, the people around them were all tall and burly, with their eyes as swords as they looked, which made people dare not look directly at them.

Dear guests! The Taoist changed his name and said, "Senior Brother Le Chen is quiet and inactive, and does not see any foreign guests." As he said that, he paused, please come back. If ordinary people ask for medical treatment, our senior brother will definitely meet. But he had something to say in advance, and no one of the great officials and nobles would be seen.

Speaking of this, I lowered my head and said that wealth and honor are like clouds. I do not see noble people, do not flatter the powerful and noble people, do not seek knowledge and excellence, only seek the common people, and seek the way of stability and purity!

As soon as he finished speaking, a chill suddenly appeared around him. Not to mention the guards, even Park Bushen stared at the Taoist man, wishing he could eat him alive.

He spoke so well, but in Zhu Yunyu's ears, he felt that he was very deliberate, and he was suspected of deliberately showing off his own abilities and being indifferent to fame and fortune.

People who are truly indifferent to fame and fortune and only seek to practice are either hidden in famous mountains and rivers, or hidden in the troubled world. They rarely show up.

This old Taoist lives in Laojun's view. While turning into a commoner fortune-telling, he gives medicine for free, pretending to be a master, and then proclaiming that he does not serve the powerful, which is a bit extravagant.

Besides, this trick is written in history books, and it is common even in later generations.

It's nothing more than creating a character and then attracting others' attention.

This trick seems simple, but it is actually very exciting. Especially in this era of underdeveloped information, pheasant doctors can be packaged as a generation of famous doctors, and mountain Taoists can become respected people.

During the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the previous dynasty, gods and Buddhas could not help but be filled with gods and Buddhas. The Mongolian nobles in the capital also had a somewhat simple nature and were easily fooled. No matter how monks and Taoists could be regarded as laity, they would attract those nobles to follow.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxiu's words became harsh. Will they disappear or wait for a price?

Upon hearing this, the man's face changed drastically. What was the distinguished guest saying? We monks have no worldly heart......

Humph! Zhu Yunsheng sneered and turned his head away.

The Taoist was puzzled, and suddenly his neck tightened and he was picked up like a chicken with an iron fan.

The man who caught him was muffled, his eyes were like a copper bell, his mouth was opened with bloody mouths, and he led the way. Otherwise, he would tear down your bird place and chop off your bird, making you unable to become a Taoist priest and a father-in-law!

This person is the guard beside the old man, called the scatter. He usually doesn't see anyone in the palace, but if the old man leaves the palace, he must have to take him with him. The man is big and thick, like a savage, often like a scattered man and doesn't say a word.

Unexpectedly, when I opened my mouth, I was full of swear words.

The old man and Zhu Yunhuang smiled and didn't care.

Park Bushen whispered, "You guy, there is no one in front of your master!"

The donkey turned around, grinned with a big mouth, and smiled honestly.

Everyone walked forward and entered the backyard of the Taoist temple. Taoists who heard the sound came out of the house, watched in surprise and discussed.

What's wrong? A thief just came today and snatched Master Chen's treasure. Another group of evil people came. What should I do?

Their discussion came into the ears of the father and the other two, and Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, Grandpa, we have become villains!

The old man smiled slightly, "What a bad guy, some people just don't eat it, they want to eat it hard!" As he said, looking at the left and right, he thought that there might be a great master in the mountains and fields. Now it seems that it's better if this Taoist doesn't see him. Humph, he's mysterious!

Who is the master? He will deal with the smartest people in the world all his life. He can see what Zhu Yunqi can see better.

Grandpa, when he comes, he just thinks it’s fun! Zhu Yunxi smiled.

What a funny thing, we are still making fun of you when we are old! The old man smiled dotingly, followed his grandson with his hands behind his back, and walked forward.

Suddenly, the door of an inconspicuous little room in front opened with a creak.

There was a beard that reached the knee inside, thin and small, dry, but with a strong look, Taoist walked out of it.
