Chapter 001: The Taoist priest descends the mountain

Next Chapter

Qingyun City is located in the southeast of China, near the mountains and the sea.

There is a mountain on the north side of the city, which is called Qingyun Peak.

Although the mountain is not high, it is located on the plain, and it is still majestic and upright.

In the dense jungle depths of Qingyun Peak, there is a very inconspicuous Taoist temple.

Because there is a thousand-year-old pine tree growing in the courtyard, this Taoist temple is called Green Pine Temple.

Since the old Taoist elder feathered and ascended to immortal, the Taoist temple has become more and more dilapidated.

At this moment, a young man in his early twenties wearing a gray Taoist robe, carrying luggage in his hand, was standing on the stone steps in front of the Taoist temple, his eyes full of hesitation.

His name is Qingzhu, and he doesn't want to stay here as a Taoist priest anymore.

He just wants to go down the mountain and be an ordinary person in peace, and he doesn't want to drink the northwest wind in this broken Taoist temple where there is no incense at all.

However, just as Qingzhu walked to the gate, he unconsciously stopped.

Looking back at the dilapidated and mottled gate, Qingzhu couldn't help but think of the old Taoist who raised him since he was a child.

Twenty years ago, the old Taoist picked up an abandoned baby.

Because it was found in a verdant bamboo forest, the old Taoist chief named the baby boy Qingzhu.

The old Taoist chief is a good man, he relied on the money he earned from going to the mountains to collect medicine, and sent Qingzhu to school, from elementary school to high school.

However, college tuition is simply too expensive.

The old Taoist is also old, his legs and feet are not dexterous, and he can't climb the mountain to collect medicine.

As a result, Qingzhu was unable to continue his studies at university.

The old Taoist's body gradually failed, and Qingzhu returned to the mountain to accompany the old Taoist for a long time.

During that time, Qingzhu's heart was full of resentment, and he wanted to escape from this bitter Taoist temple more than once and go down the mountain to live a normal life.

However, every time he saw the wrinkled and loving face of the old Taoist, Qingzhu couldn't bear to leave him.

Just like that, three years have passed.

The old Taoist is gone, and Qingzhu is the only one left in Qingsong Temple, and it is even more deserted.

Every time I think about this, Qingzhu's nose becomes sour.

Now that the old Taoist is no longer there, there is no need for Qingzhu to continue to stay in Qingsongguan and suffer.

Perhaps, marrying a wife and having children, and living a life in peace and happiness is Qingzhu's pursuit of life.

Yes, Qingzhu has already thought about it.

He is going down the mountain, to confess to Wang Erya in the village, talk about a decent love, marry a daughter-in-law, and be an ordinary person.

Before leaving, he looked through the crack in the door and took one last look at the statue of the Sanqing Daozun enshrined in the main hall.

For some reason, a wave of anger suddenly rose in my heart.

Qingzhu couldn't help it, he roared hoarsely inside: "Master is no longer waiting, he is leaving, because you have never shown your spirit, there is no incense, who can blame you?"

“…… Ding!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound like a copper bell sounded in Qingzhu's mind.

Qingzhu was really taken aback, and shouted and asked, "Ah, who is it?!"

"Host, congratulations, you have met the conditions for opening the system and successfully owned a Taoist temple, and from now on, you will be protected by the Three Qing Dao Venerables and obtain the Supreme Dao Method. ”

"Who's talking to me?!"

At first, Qingzhu thought that someone was playing a prank and deliberately scaring him.

However, after looking around, there is no one else here except himself?!

“…… Ding! Answer the host, I am the Void Nature Daluo Sanqing Sanjing Sanbao Tianzun System, you are the person chosen by the Sanqing Daozun, and I am honored to serve you. ”

"System? What system, such a long name, can you say it again?"

"Void Nature, Great Luo, Three Clearing, Three Realms, Three Treasures, Heavenly Venerable System!"

The voice in his head repeated again, but the name was too long for Qingzhu to remember.

"And what good can you do me?!"

"Status, status, money, women, everything a man wants ......" the system said at a very slow pace, word by word.

Qingzhu's feet subconsciously froze, and his eyes lit up.

He couldn't help interrupting the system's words, and said a little shyly: "Hehe, I think you really chose the right person, I can think about it......"

"None of the above is provided by this system!"

"!!Ahh

Qingzhu picked up his luggage angrily, put it on his shoulder, and raised his legs to leave.

The voice of the system sounded again: "However, this system can help you become the strongest Taoist who is respected and loved, make Qingsong Guan famous, and carry forward the Dao Fa!"

Hearing this, for some reason, the old Taoist's loving face appeared in front of Qingzhu's eyes again, lingering.

Yes, the old Taoist elder has said more than once that his greatest ambition is to let the Qingsong Temple carry forward.

If it weren't for the old Taoist, the abandoned baby twenty years ago might have turned into a pile of white bones in the bamboo forest.

I have to admit that before Qingzhu could repay the kindness of the old Taoist, the old Taoist left.

Qingzhu owes the old Taoist too much, can't he sacrifice something to help the old Taoist fulfill his last wish?

Thinking of this, Qingzhu asked the system: "Then what do you need me to do?!"

The system replied: "It's very simple, manage this green pine temple you own well, as long as you do good deeds and accumulate virtues and do good deeds, you can do anything!"

The old Taoist has taught Qingzhu since he was a child, don't take evil as a small thing, don't take good as a small thing, as a cultivator, he should have to benefit the people and do good deeds.

Qingzhu is still very young, and young people are prone to impulsiveness.

So, Qingzhu nodded heavily and said loudly, "Okay, I'll do it!!"

“…… If you rely on the Taoist techniques received by the system, deceive and deceive the people, and defraud the people, you will immediately explode and die!!

Qingzhu scolded wildly in his heart, and shouted: "Oh, I'm going, it's so serious, you, you, you, you didn't say it before?!"

"Host, you didn't ask?" replied aggrievedly.

At this moment, Qingzhu was dumbfounded.

He thought to himself: This trick is too vicious, he will marry a wife and have children in the future, he can't do it without money, he originally wanted to use this Taoist priest to go down the mountain to cheat some small money, if he did something wrong, the consequences would be too serious!!

Then, Qingzhu asked weakly: "What's that, Brother System, can I still regret it now?"

"Yes. The system replied crisply.

"That's good, I regret it. Qingzhu exhaled heavily.

"The host can choose to commit suicide, and when death is confirmed, the system will automatically unbind. The system replied slowly.

"I'll your grandma's legs, aren't you a pit person?!" Qingzhu couldn't help but scold.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a click, and a blue lightning flashed overhead, and I instantly smelled a burnt smell.

Qingzhu hurriedly raised his hand to touch the bun on the top of his head, and the bun was fine.

However, the bamboo chopsticks inserted in the bun had been burned into charcoal at this time.

"Warm reminder, those who have been selected by the Sanqing Dao Venerable should be cautious in their words and deeds!" the system said coldly.

Qingzhu looked at the black charcoal ash in his palm, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "If you scold in your heart, you won't be struck by thunder, right?!"

The system didn't say anything, it fell silent.

Qingzhu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to the system flatteringly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'm just joking." ”

After waiting for five minutes, the system said: "The system has been successfully bound, and now the first system task will be released. ”

"Oh, what reward?" Qingzhu asked with interest.

"Reward a side of the copper gossip mirror. ”

"Uh, it's just a mirror, system, what is the use of that gossip mirror you are talking about?"

"The purple copper gossip mirror is a magic weapon blessed by the Sanqing Daozun, which can make the entire Taoist temple look new, improve the majesty, and increase positive energy!"

"Oh, well!"

Since it was forcibly bound by the system, it seems that in a short period of time, Qingzhu will not be able to go down the mountain to confess to Wang Erya.

The matter of engaging in the object can only be temporarily slowed down, so rest assured, first be a little Taoist priest in this Taoist temple!

Carrying his luggage back to the quiet room where he used to live, Qingzhu took out a broom and rag and began to clean the entire Taoist temple.

In fact, the Taoist temple is not dirty, and the old Taoist will be cleaned carefully every day before his death.

It's just that after the old Taoist is gone, no one has cleaned it here, and some dust has fallen.

Qingzhu first used a broom to clean the fallen leaves in the compound, and then took a basin of water and wiped the places that were prone to dust with a rag.

As for the statue of the Sanqing Daozun, it needs to be dusted off with a whisk.

After a busy day, at ten o'clock in the evening, Qingzhu finally cleaned the Taoist temple inside and out.

"System, I've got it, you come out and check the hygiene quickly!" Qingzhu said wiping the sweat beads on his face.

“…… Ding! The cleaning is very clean, the completion is 100%, it is worthy of praise, and the copper gossip mirror is rewarded!"

As soon as the system's words fell, I heard a buzz, and a golden light fell from the sky.

The golden light circled around the entire hall, and then stopped on the beams of the hall.

Qingzhu looked up, and in the very center of the beam, there was indeed a huge bronze mirror.

The diameter of the bronze mirror is 50 centimeters, there are gossip lines around it, the center of the mirror is convex, and it is like a small sun inlaid inside.

The golden light shimmered like gold.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shot out from the center of the mirror.

The golden light continued to disperse, shooting towards all corners of the Taoist temple.

Wherever the golden light hits, it immediately becomes a golden light.

Qingzhu's eyes were white and vast, and he couldn't open his eyes at all.

But in the blink of an eye, only a deafening loud bang was heard, followed by a violent shaking of the ground under his feet.

Qingzhu was so frightened that he held his head and shouted, and ran outside the main hall.

Sadly, he accidentally tripped under his feet.

As a result, the whole person rolled down the stone steps and fell to pieces.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that the entire Qingsong Temple had completely changed!!
