The carriage and horse shop picked up some people and sent a coachman who looked honest and honest to take Lu Zheng and Li Bo out of the city.
Although he sees it often, this is the first time Lu Zheng has made an ancient donkey cart.
All I can say is...it's so cool...
But after all, it is for people, so the donkey cart is wrapped with wooden boards. There are windows on the left and right sides, a curtain in front, and thick straw mats in the cart.
Although the road was bumpy, it was still a road after all, and with straw mats blocking it, Lu Zheng felt that his butt could bear it.
The driver was sitting outside the curtain, driving the donkey cart as he pleased, out of the east gate and along the official road towards Shaotong Mountain.
Lu Zheng bought some meat and steamed buns, and the few of them had a simple meal in the car. After noon, they finally arrived at the foot of Shaotong Mountain.
Next to the official road at the bottom of the mountain, there is a tea shop and noodle stall, with a few dining guests scattered here and there.
"Master Lu, Baiyun Temple is not far from the mountainside. I will wait for you here."
"good."
What follows is a mountain road, and of course cars cannot go up it.
Lu Zheng and Li Bo went up the mountain together, and met a few pilgrims coming down the mountain. However, they seemed to be dressed simply, and they should be ordinary people.
"You said the incense in Baiyun Temple is good? But you didn't see any wealthy gentry or wealthy people?"
"Sir, today is neither the 15th day of the Lunar New Year nor a festival. Unless something happens, who else will come to watch and burn incense?"
"Well, that's right, too."
There are only so many rich people, so you can't take turns coming to the temple every day to burn incense and ask for fortune-telling. That would make your life very insecure.
Soon, the two of them turned a corner of the mountain and looked up to see the archway of Baiyun Temple. The three characters of Baiyun Temple were elegant and elegant. Against the green trees and blue sky nearby, it was quite a fairyland.
We've arrived.
Walking through the stone steps, there are two stone statues of a blue dragon and a white tiger standing on the left and right of the entrance of Baiyun Temple, which are Taoist guardian beasts. A Taoist priest stands at the door to welcome guests.
After seeing Lu Zheng dressed in silk robes, followed by a clean and fresh old servant, who looked quite familiar, Taoist Zhike's eyes lit up, he stood tall, raised his hands and bowed, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, have you seen this young master before?"
!”
"Hello, Taoist Master." Lu Zheng held his hand in greeting, "I first came to Tonglin County and heard that Baiyun Temple has profound morals and that fortune-telling talismans are efficacious. Therefore, I came here today to worship the mountain and burn incense to seek the protection of Heavenly Lord."
"Young Master is interested, please!"
Ordinary people come here on weekdays to pay homage to the mountain, burn a few incense, and put one or two pennies in the merit box to pray for peace. At most, they buy the cheapest peace charm during the holidays.
Looking at Lu Zheng's clothes, it was obvious that he wasn't planning to go shopping and then leave.
Didn’t you hear what others said? The talisman is efficacious!
Big business!
Taoist Zhike looked at the sky and saw that it was already past noon. Most people came in the morning, and there were very few visitors after noon.
So the Taoist stretched out his hand to lead Lu Zheng into the Taoist temple.
After walking into the gate, not far away was the Lingguan Hall. Lu Zheng stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
After passing the Lingguan Hall and worshiping the Caishen Hall and Wenchang Hall on the left, Lu Zhengcai arrived at the main hall of Baiyun Temple under the guidance of the Taoist.
Sanqing Hall.
Under the guidance of the Taoist, Lu Zheng first burned incense and worshiped outside the Sanqing Hall, and then entered the hall to kowtow three times in front of the imperial statue.
Then, under the watchful eye of a black-bearded Taoist priest from the side, he took out three consistent treasure bills and put them into the merit box.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
The black-bearded Taoist raised his hands and bowed, "I am the master of Baiyun Temple, my Taoist name is Mingzhang."
This is actually the master of Baiyun Temple?
Lu Zheng looked carefully and saw that this man was wearing a clean blue robe, his hair was tied with an ebony hairpin, his beard and hair were all black, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were bright.
"I met Taoist Master Mingzhang. He was in Xialu Zheng and settled in Tonglin County half a month ago."
"My dear Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu is rich, handsome and majestic, but he is really a poor man."
"Taoist priest, you're welcome."
The two of them greeted each other, and then Taoist Master Ming Zhang led Lu Zheng into a side room to serve tea.
After that, Taoist priest Ming Zhang basically chatted from time to time. Lu Zheng did not show off his modern knowledge, nor did he use the contents of the "Tao Te Ching" to bluff people. Instead, he responded casually, and gradually
He brought the topic to spiritual practice and strange things.
"Speaking of which, I just met an expert hermit who lives in the world a few days ago, who helped me escape a disaster and recover." Lu Zheng told the story of the old beggar.
"Lock your breath, recognize the person and strike. That old beggar is indeed a strange person."
Lu Zheng's eyes flashed and he understood the principle of the old beggar's skill.
It is to let the cup remember Lu Zheng's aura, and maybe there are also the auras of Uncle Li and Aunt Liu in it, and then if someone other than these three people approaches, it will automatically attack.
Good guy, automatic identification defense system!
Modern defense systems can identify fingerprints, voices, pupils and even body shapes, but what the hell is breath?
But in this case, Lu Zheng knew that the cup had only the power of one blow, and it must be useless now, considering that he had given the cup to Liu Captou.
"After this incident, I also started thinking about refining qi and practicing." Lu Zheng asked with a smile, "I wonder if I have the qualifications to practice?"
"Young Master is so arrogant and lives a wealthy life, why do you need to seek the illusory fate of immortality? Moreover, cultivation is difficult and boring. You are a noble person in this world, so why should you take the easy way out?"
Lu Zheng's eyes flickered.
What Lu Zheng said just now was a test, wanting to see if there was any way to practice in Baiyun Temple.
However, Taoist Master Mingzhang cleverly refused and avoided this temptation smoothly.
Is it because he doesn’t have one or is he unwilling to teach?
Is it because I don’t have enough qualifications or the money I gave you is not enough?
When it came to language arts, Lu Zheng definitely couldn't beat this old fox, so Lu Zheng asked directly, "I wonder if there is a practice method in Baiyun Temple?"
Taoist Master Mingzhang smiled slightly, "Bi Guan was passed down from Baiyun Temple in Jizhou and has its own inheritance."
"That……"
"Since the young master has the opportunity to meet an expert, he will have a chance, but the time has not yet come. When the time comes, the wind and clouds will naturally transform into dragons, and he may be admitted to the imperial examination or enter the Taoism."
Tsk tsk, this machine is making a snapping sound.
Also, Yiguan inheritance is a treasure that is taken care of by others, how can it be passed on randomly.
From this point of view, this is a world with monsters and monsters. If it can establish itself in one county, Baiyun Temple must have real abilities.
"Young Master's visit to the temple is also related to my Baiyun Temple. There is a peace talisman here on Pindao. You should carry it with you to protect yourself from evil spirits."
Here comes the return gift for sending three merit coins.
Taoist Master Ming Zhang took out a yellow paper talisman, held it in front of Lu Zheng, folded it in threes and twos, folded it into a small square, and handed it to Lu Zheng.
"Thank you, Taoist priest!"
The two chatted for a few more words, and Lu Zheng took his leave. Taoist Master Ming Zhang saw the guests off and asked Taoist Zhike waiting at the door to see Lu Zheng out.
Lu Zheng was interested in testing, and Zhike Taoist was also interested in letting Lu Zheng know, so Lu Zheng quickly learned about the merit money of various services in Baiyun Temple.
Asking for a hundred words, the interpretation is consistent.
There are three types of peace symbols, one with twenty characters, one with one character, and one with ten characters.
In addition, we also undertake home visits to check the weather and feng shui of the house, as well as home visits to open altars and perform rituals to pray for blessings, but the prices vary.
