Extra 15: Taoist Priest Chi Yuan and his traitors (5)
Qin Liuxi looked at the weed-covered stone road in front of him and 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: "In these years, I have been traveling as a Taoist 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 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 practice, or hiding their backgrounds in order to
I 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 can I have to repair the Taoist temple?" If that's the case, it doesn't mean he 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 that?"
"Nature is inheritance."
Qin Liuxi's 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: "..."
Sorry, I want to go back to the Qin family. I heard that I am the official lady of that family!
The money he had in his bag was only two taels, so he didn't know what it could be used for.
"Nizi, what are you thinking about?" Taoist priest Chi Yuan tapped her forehead and said: "The inheritance of the master is the most important treasure. Learn 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
Grandmaster came here and tried to say, yellow and white things are worth nothing? Which family’s idol doesn’t want a golden body? Our family is noble!”
Taoist Priest Chi Yuan was choked to the point of being speechless. He did not dare to do this.
However, it’s just a golden body, it doesn’t matter, they have a smart and talented apprentice!
Taoist Priest Chi Yuan put his hand on her head and said with a serious and thoughtful 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: "?"
Dare I ask if there is an age limit for someone who wants to rebel and leave the school?
At the age of five, she wanted to rebel and leave the school before she even entered Guanmen.
As if looking into her mind, Taoist Chi Yuan said quickly: "Don't worry, I have only one disciple as my teacher. From now on, the position of the master of this Taoist temple will be yours. Therefore, you must study the five arts of Xuanmen diligently."
, earn a lot of sesame oil for the Taoist temple, and earn thousands of merits yourself, saving people, ghosts, and yourself, achieving multiple things with one move, it is a great good!"
Qin Liuxi squinted at him, "I'm young, do you think I'm a fool? You're very good at painting cakes mentally!"
"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 round-faced man wearing an old yellow Taoist robe running towards her with a bamboo basket on his back, looking at Taoist 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, who had evasive eyes, and sneered: "The only disciple?"
Taoist priest Chi Yuan immediately said: "This is a fellow Taoist who is going to join us at Qingping Temple and become a master. His Taoist name is Qingyuan. He joined Taoism earlier than you and is older than you. It is appropriate for you to call him Senior Brother."
Disciples are also divided into direct disciples and outer disciples. You are the only direct disciple of my master, and you are also a 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 gesture, seemingly accepting his fate.
However, as the three of them walked up, clearing weeds and sorting out their way out, until they reached the Taoist temple, she once again had the idea of running away.
So 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 knife. It looked extremely pitiful. The incense burner did not exist.
This temple has not welcomed its owner for a long time, and everything that can be used has 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: "But I haven't come back for five years, and I haven't even left a single incense burner for me. It's too outrageous. My ancestor doesn't care about our family either..."
He ran to the Taoist room in the back hall like a gust of wind, and soon there was another howl.
Qin Liuxi looked at Qingyuan and said, "Were you also tricked?"
Qingyuan let out a sigh 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 also read a little bit of fortune telling. There are ten hexagrams in fortune telling."
Nine things are wrong.”
He laughed naively: "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. Anyway, with the Taoist temple entry list, I don't have to move around.
I saved some money by being a magic stick."
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 that means, 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!
