Leaving the popular attractions with many tourists and check-in areas, Liu Qingqing and Zhou Yu began to walk along the tree-lined trails in the mountains where there are few tourists, looking for some quiet and remote places where there are few tourists.
This trip lasted for most of the day, and the two of them didn't take a break. However, because they were both ancient monks, they didn't feel tired at all. Seeing that it was already afternoon, at this time, there was a wall at the end of the left fork of the trail in front of them. The courtyard appeared in their sight. At the end of the path was the gate. The gate was a wooden door and was tightly closed. Inside, they could vaguely see what looked like a large courtyard and several buildings.
There is a plaque hanging on the gate with the three characters Maoshan Temple. It is obviously a temple, but it is different from the Taoist palace on the top of the mountain where tourists flock to. This place is more like a private place isolated from the world.
And vaguely, there was a vague wave of breath coming from inside the door. This wave could not be felt by ordinary people, but Liu Qingqing and Zhou Yu felt clearly that this familiar wave of breath was not... What was the fluctuation of spiritual energy? Coupled with the words "Maoshan Temple" on the plaque, Liu Qingqing suddenly became excited.
Tianqiong Mountain is a famous famous mountain and river in China and a tourist attraction. It is also known as the first holy land of Taoism and a holy mountain. However, most people today only know this, but few people know that Tianqiong Mountain was once called Maoshan.
The two looked at each other, and Liu Qingqing quickly walked up to the door and knocked on the door——
"Dong dong..."
"Cough...cough..."
Immediately afterwards, a light cough sounded from inside the door.
Hearing someone's response, Liu Qingqing took another step back, and soon saw the door open. An old Taoist figure wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a thin face and gray beard and hair who looked to be in his sixties came out from behind the door and looked at the two people. The person looked at him and said, "Are you tourists?"
Liu Qingqing immediately squeezed a Taoist disciple's hand with both hands and bowed.
"The juniors have met the seniors."
Zhou Yu is not a member of the Taoist sect, nor does he understand the obscure etiquette of the Taoist sect. He is just polite.
"I've met the Taoist priest."
The old Taoist was stunned when he saw Liu Qingqing's gestures, then his face changed a few times, and finally he made a gesture of greeting as Liu Qingqing looked at her.
"It turns out to be a young fellow Taoist, please come inside."
The old Taoist led the two of them into the courtyard and sat down, then looked at Liu Qingqing and said.
"Where do you come from, little friend?"
"This junior is from Kawachi."
"What's your name, little friend?"
"Junior Liu Qingqing."
The Taoist first asked about the origin of Liu Qingqing's name, and then asked again.
"My little friend's master's name? Which sect is it?"
When asked, Liu Qingqing did not answer truthfully, but said.
"The junior masters are destined not to be born, but they still have to look at the physical strength of the seniors."
When the Taoist heard this, his attitude suddenly changed.
"Since you are not allowed to be born again, why do you still come to my place?"
After saying this, the Taoist's face suddenly became a little colder. The first time he saw Liu Qingqing's eyes, the Taoist had already confirmed that the other party did not come here by chance, but more like he came here with a clear purpose. Come, but now when I asked the police station, the other party was secretive. This obviously didn't seem like he came with good intentions.
Why is it that the junior master is destined not to be born? This is not the same thing for outsiders to say, but as members of the same Taoist sect, there is no taboo in this regard. The other party said this, obviously because he did not want to know the other's master. .
And just like what he said, since the other party's disciple is destined to die, why does the other party still come to him?
Liu Qingqing and Zhou Yu's expressions suddenly changed when they heard what Lao Dao said.
Seeing the changes in the expressions of the two of them, the old Taoist became more confident in his judgment, and his face couldn't help but become a little colder.
"Tell me, what is your purpose here?"
Zhou Yu's face changed a few times, and then she looked at Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing's face also changed slightly. Originally, she wanted to get close to the old Taoist first, but she didn't expect the old Taoist to be so sophisticated, so she finally pondered for a moment.
road.
"We are here today because we want to take a look at the "Tao Canon" left by the former true monarch who passed down the secret method of your sect."
"Be bold!"
"boom!"
After hearing this, the old Taoist suddenly became furious. He stood up suddenly and slapped his hand on the table. His face became furious and he looked at the two people angrily. Although he had already guessed that Liu Qingqing and Zhou Yu had a purpose,
But I didn't expect that the other party would be so bold and dare to peek into the "Tao Canon".
You must know that the inheritance of skills is the most important thing for every sect. It is the foundation of a sect. Once it is lost, it will directly endanger the entire sect, not to mention the "Tao Canon", which is their Maoshan sect.
The most important thing, the method of suppressing the sect left behind by the True Lord, how can outsiders be allowed to peek into it.
If he hadn't felt that Zhou Yu's aura was astonishingly powerful and he was no match, the old Taoist would have directly killed the two of them, even at the risk of breaking the law.
"Please come back. This is absolutely impossible. If you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened."
Finally, the old Taoist suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath and said.
Zhou Yu looked slightly embarrassed, and he still felt a little guilty for robbing other people's things.
Liu Qingqing, on the other hand, looked as usual. She was determined to get the "Tao Canon" in her heart. Seeing that the talks had collapsed, she simply took the lead.
"This is related to the inheritance of my sect, and the younger generation has no choice. The "Dao Canon" was created by Zhenjun by merging the techniques of various sects of our sect. It must contain the methods inherited by my sect, and I promise to return it immediately after reading it.
"
"snort."
The old Taoist's face turned even colder when he heard this. How could he believe Liu Qingqing's words?
"If you have any wishes, senior, you might as well put them forward and we'll try our best to fulfill them. How about one exchange?"
Liu Qingqing said again.
"Exchange, that's such a big statement. What if I don't agree?"
The old Taoist's face turned even colder and he snorted coldly.
"Then..." Liu Qingqing also stood up, looked directly at Lao Dao, and said slowly: "We have no choice but to grab it."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Then let me see what you are capable of!"
The old Taoist suddenly laughed in anger. He knew that he was no match for the other party, especially Zhou Yu, but for the sake of the inheritance of his sect, he would fight this battle even if he risked his life today.
After saying this, the old Taoist directly squeezed the seal with both hands, and several pieces of talisman flew out of his hands and hung in front of him.
"Senior, why are you like this? We are not here to fight, and we have no intention of hurting anyone. As long as senior lends us the Taoist Scriptures to take a look at."
Liu Qingqing said again.
Zhou Yu walked up to Liu Qingqing and protected Liu Qingqing behind him. At this time, he also looked at Lao Daodao.
"Taoist Master, please calm down. We don't mean any harm. We have something to discuss."
"Let's discuss it. You've already grabbed it openly. Is there anything left to discuss?"
The old Taoist was very angry.
Zhou Yu was said to be a little embarrassed. Although they said they were good, their actual behavior was really robbing.
At this time, Liu Qingqing, who was behind Zhou Yu, snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Humph, stubbornness persists. I think back on how prosperous our Taoist sect was when the True Lord was alive. During the Taoist sect conference, each sect of our Taoist sect was like a family. They communicated with each other and learned from each other's strengths. Now look at how declining our Taoist sect is.
The reason why we are like this now is because of you people, each and every one of you is so disrespectful..."
The old Taoist was even more angry when he heard this and smiled.
"I am so precious, so according to what you said, my Taoist sect should make the skills public to the world, so that everyone in the world can practice them."
"Isn't it? If so, how come our Taoist sect has fallen into such a state today? You people in Maoshan are selfish. You are afraid of publishing the skills and others will learn them and become stronger, which will threaten your status in Maoshan and make you Maoshan
We can no longer maintain our position as the leader of the Taoist sect."
Liu Qingqing scolded angrily.
"You are selfish. It is because of your selfishness that our Taoist sect is in decline today."
"Selfish! Selfish?...Hahaha..."
The old Taoist was so angry that he laughed. This man was so shameless. He came here to steal something, but he still spoke so righteously.
"The "Dao Canon" was created by the True Lord of our sect, and it is the inheritance left to me by my Maoshan Patriarch. What belongs to us in Maoshan, why should we give it to the rest of you?"
"That is something that belongs to our entire Taoist sect. The "Dao Canon" was created by Zhenjun by merging the techniques of various sects of our Taoist sect. It should belong to my entire Taoist sect, not your Maoshan sect."
Liu Qingqing retorted.
When the old Taoist heard this, his eyes were red with anger. He knew the origin of the "Tao Canon" best. Their records in Maoshan were more detailed than any other sect. It was indeed created by Zhenjun by merging the techniques of various Tao sects back then.
But at the Taoist sect conference at that time, Zhenjun gave lectures and taught Taoism. Although he also observed the exercises of each sect of the Taoist sect, what Zhenjun brought to each sect was definitely more than what each sect paid.
But now the other party is using this as an excuse, which is simply shameless.
"We came here today with no intention of hurting anyone. We just want to get back something that belongs to our entire Taoist sect. I hope seniors will not make mistakes."
Liu Qingqing said again.
Just at this moment, a joking and slightly sarcastic voice came from outside the rear courtyard.
"It's interesting. When did the things I left behind become the things of the entire Taoist sect?"
