This Taoist temple on Foguang Mountain has little impression on many Buddhist believers, but there is no one among the monks on the mountain who does not know this Taoist temple.
Zuo Jiajun came to the foot of the mountain and inquired for a while, and found out the location of the Taoist temple. He asked the driver to wait at the foot of the mountain, while Zuo Jiajun rushed up the mountain carrying several bottles of liquor and cooked food.
"This...isn't this the statue of our ancestor?"
After entering the Taoist temple hall and looking at the clay sculptures standing there, Zuo Jiajun regretted it. If he could have come to this Taoist temple earlier, he might have found Senior Brother Ye Tianhe long ago.
After looking at the Taoist temple for a while, Zuo Jiajun shouted loudly: "Ye Tian, Ye Tian, senior brother?!"
"Are you...Junior Brother Zuo?" An old voice sounded from the back of the hall. Zuo Jiajun looked up and suddenly froze.
After a while, Zuo Jiajun couldn't help but blurt out: "Master...Master? Oh, no, senior brother!"
The old man in front of him was so similar to Li Shanyuan. Apart from his different appearance, his figure and his earthly temperament were almost exactly the same. At first glance, Zuo Jiajun almost mistook him.
In fact, not only Zuo Jiajun, but also Ye Tian would have the illusion from time to time when facing the Gou Xin family. The senior brother and the master were both serious converted Taoist priests, and they had many similarities.
"Junior Brother Zuo, come to the back room, my younger brother is there too!" Gou Xinjia had a baby-like smile on his face. He couldn't help but be overjoyed to see two fellow juniors in one day.
When your mental state has reached the level of Gou Xinjia, you no longer have the ability to control your emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. The Tao method naturally follows your heart, and you should cry when you need to cry, and laugh when you need to laugh.
Stepping into the inner room, Zuo Jiajun saw Ye Tian with a bandage on his shoulder. He quickly took two steps and asked, "Ye Tian, are you injured?"
Zuo Jiajun originally thought that Ye Tian was just trying to escape responsibility for the murder, but now it seems that things are not that simple.
Ye Tian shook his head and said: "I was careless this time. I was shot in the shoulder and bitten by a poisonous snake here. If I hadn't met my senior brother, it's hard to say whether my life could have been saved..."
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Gou Xinjia smiled and said: "Junior brother, you have profound blessings and are not a short-lived person. Although there are many twists and turns in your life, there are still many surprises!"
Although Ye Tiantong was a member of the Qi Clan, Gou Xin's family was so cultivated that although he could not decipher Ye Tian's fortune telling, he could still see some clues from Ye Tian's face.
It's like Ye Tian once deduced the ultimate limit of the Taoist skills back then, but his skills were still shallow at that time and the backlash he suffered was more serious.
"Zuo Jiajun, Mai's disciple, pays homage to senior brother!"
After Gou Xinjia chatted with him for a few words, Zuo Jiajun straightened his clothes and walked up to Gou Xinjia, bowing respectfully.
People in the Qi Sect are most particular about status and seniority. After Li Shanyuan's death, the Gou Xin family has become the highest-ranking person in Mai's family at that time. As long as Ye Tian does not exercise the rights of the sect leader, the Gou Xin family should be respected.
Gou Xinjia took a step forward, helped Zuo Jiajun up with one arm, and said with a smile: "Junior brother Zuo has a good reputation in Taiwan. It's just that I didn't know that you and I came from the same school before, but we met ten years later.
for many years……"
"How can Jiajun have any reputation in front of senior fellow apprentices?!" Zuo Jiajun's face turned red when Gou Xinjia said that. He was not being modest, but truly felt ashamed.
Not to mention Ye Tian's almost monster-like methods, the eighty-year-old senior brother in front of him had unfathomable energy in his body. The old man and the young man completely outshone him.
Moreover, Zuo Jiajun once heard his master say that his senior brother was extremely talented and his cultivation in the sect was unparalleled. He also had extensive research on Dunjia of the Faqi Sect and was the disciple who received the most true transmissions from him.
.
Zuo Jiajun himself has entered the realm of An Jin, and is only one step away from entering the Hua Jin. He was quite arrogant at first, but Ye Tian and Gou Xinjia behind him made his mentality change.
Small changes.
At the beginning of cultivation, it involves beating the body and fists, but when it reaches a certain level, it is about cultivating the mind.
As soon as Zuo Jiajun's mind relaxed, his whole person actually became emptier and clearer. Things he couldn't understand in the past suddenly became clear at this moment, and a smile from the heart appeared on his face unconsciously.
"This senior brother, junior brother's enlightenment is very high!"
Ye Tian and Gou Xinjia looked at each other and laughed at the same time, but no one said anything to wake up Zuo Jiajun. For Taoists, enlightenment is definitely something that can be encountered but not sought.
"Ah, Ye Tian, senior brother, I'm rude!" After more than half an hour, Zuo Jiajun woke up as if from a dream, and his mind came back slowly.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Zuo. I believe that within half a year, you will be able to enter the realm of refining energy and becoming a god."
"It all depends on senior brother's enlightenment." Zuo Jiajun also had a happy face and bowed to Gou Xin's family again.
Zuo Jiajun originally thought that he would never be able to enter the realm of refining qi and transforming into a god in this life. Unexpectedly, an epiphany allowed him to cross this threshold. As long as he practiced carefully for half a year, he would definitely be able to break through the current realm.
Gou Xinjia laughed loudly: "Haha, my three brothers from Mai's lineage have all reached the highest level of Qi training. My master can be proud of himself!"
In Taoist qi training, although there are realms such as refining qi to transform into gods, refining gods to return to the void, and refining the void to combine with the Tao, these are just legends. At least I have never heard of anyone achieving it throughout the ages, and even refining qi to transform into gods has only been achieved by a few.
People can succeed in cultivation.
If the realms of Ye Tian and the others are revealed to the Qimen Jianghu, I am afraid that the entire Qimen will be shocked, because Qimen is declining nowadays, except for a few old guys who have never been born in the world, there are not many people who have entered Anjin.
.
"Get up, it's going to be a big day today!" Gou Xinjia helped Zuo Jiajun up and said with a smile: "You senior brothers are very shabby, so you have to prepare your own food and drinks."
After hearing Gou Xinjia's words, Zuo Jiajun said quickly: "What are you saying, senior brother? With your ability, you can underestimate the princes and laugh at the generals. How can you be contaminated by these secular things?"
In Zuo Jiajun's opinion, the eldest brother retreated from the world to cultivate. Otherwise, given his abilities, why would he be enshrined like a living god?
After putting what he was carrying on the table, Zuo Jiajun supported Gou Xinjia and said, "Senior brother, please take a seat!"
Gou Xinjia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brothers, let's not talk about this. I don't have enough chairs. Junior brother, please sit on the bed."
"Well, senior brother, you...your arms?"
Only then did Zuo Jiajun notice Gou Xinjia's empty left arm, and his expression changed greatly, "Brother, who made this arm of yours?"
Just like Ye Tianchu's reaction, Zuo Jiajun also had a look of extreme shock on his face. With his experienced cultivation, he could seek good luck and avoid evil. Who could hurt him like this?
"Senior Brother Zuo, sit down and talk."
Ye Tian pulled Zuo Jiajun, then left the wing room and went to the kitchen to get three bowls. When he came back, he opened the liquor that Zuo Jiajun had brought, poured three full bowls, and said, "Can we see you today?"
Senior brother, it is my great honor to be a disciple of Mai’s lineage. I am here to give you a bowl of respect for the two senior brothers!”
Ye Tian had asked the Gou Xin family the same question before, but the old man refused to say more, so Ye Tian thought about having a few bowls of wine first, and when his senior brother got drunk, he would naturally talk.
"Junior brother, have you also resorted to tricks against senior brother?"
Gou Xin's family has lived for eighty years, so he is very aware of Ye Tian's little tricks. He shook his head and said with a smile: "I can see the two junior brothers, I have nothing more to ask for in my life. This arm thing,
Let me tell you!"
"Come on, drink this bowl of wine first!"
Taoist priests do not abstain from meat and fish. Even though Gou Xinjia is short in stature, his drinking capacity is no worse than that of Ye Tian and Zuo Jiajun. He drank more than half a kilogram of wine in the bowl in one gulp.
"You all know that I followed Mr. Chiang to Taiwan in 1949, but you don't know that I went back to the mainland in 1950..."
Holding the empty bowl, Gou Xinjia fell into memories of the past and revealed a shocking secret that shocked both Ye Tian and Zuo Jiajun.
It turns out that Zuo Jiajun played a very special role in Chiang Kai-shek's political ax at that time, specializing in handling some matters that Chiang Kai-shek could not leave to others.
In 1950, when the mainland was almost fully liberated, Zuo Jiajun received a mission to return to the mainland and escort an extremely large batch of gold to Taiwan.
This batch of gold does not belong to China, but was plundered by Japan from various Southeast Asian countries. Since Japan was so defeated in 1945, it was too late to transport the gold back to Japan, so it had to be buried on the spot.
At the China-Myanmar border.
And this news was not known until the Jiang family defeated the mainland. At that time, the Chiang family no longer cared about the gold. It was not until they settled down in Taiwan that they came up with the idea of extracting the gold.
This task fell on Zuo Jiajun at that time, and he led more than 20 people to enter China through a detour from Myanmar through many difficulties.
At that time, Yunnan had not yet been completely liberated, and General Chen and Song Renqiong had not yet entered Chuncheng, so the situation was relatively chaotic.
Gou Xinjia's mission went very smoothly at the beginning. It only took three days to unload all the gold and transport it to Myanmar, preparing to sail back to Taiwan from the Bay of Bengal in Myanmar.
However, just after entering Myanmar, Gou Xinjia suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart. He made a prompt decision and asked his men to bury the gold again and prepare to return to China with his people.
Although the gold was hidden, the Gou Xin family and others were ambushed by a group of mysterious men when they returned to the border. All of their men were killed in the battle, and the Gou Xin family also paid the price of their left arm to escape.
