There is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and the scenery is unique on the shore of West Lake, and there is an endless stream of tourists.

On a certain mountain in the west of Xizi Lake, there is an ancient temple and famous temple, called "Lingchan Temple".

The incense in the Lingchan Temple is flourishing, the Sanskrit sound is curling, and there are many believers and tourists who come to pray for blessings and sightseeing.

Even foreign tourists know that when visiting West Lake, Lingchan Temple is one of the must-see attractions.

However, even the locals of Suzhou and Hangzhou rarely know that there is a Taoist temple in the mountains east of Xizi Lake.

The famous Taoist temple "Heaven and Earth View" sounds like heaven and earth are all in it, but in fact, this heaven and earth view is a pitifully small Taoist temple.

Heaven and earth view around the forest green wood show, birds singing mountain secluded, clouds drifting mist floating, at first glance quite a fairy spirit, as if there are gods in seclusion.

It's just that the appearance of this Taoist temple has completely destroyed this fairy spirit, the main entrance with peeling red paint, the plaque with blurred handwriting, the bricks and tiles that have fallen into disrepair, and the collapsed walls......

If it weren't for a young Taoist priest in front of the temple, no one would believe that this dilapidated temple was still populated.

The young Taoist priest is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his delicate and handsome appearance is set off by a blue and white Taoist robe, which actually gives people the charm of fairy wind and bones.

This Taoist layman's name is Li Daoxing, and his Taoist name is Xuanwei, and he is the only Taoist priest and master in this view of heaven and earth.

In Taoism, the palace view is generally divided into two kinds, one is the descendant temple, and the other is the jungle temple. The former is passed down from generation to generation between master and apprentice, and the temple property can be inherited, while the latter temple property cannot be inherited and belongs to all the Taoists in the world.

Xuanwei is located in the view of heaven and earth belongs to the first seed Sun Temple, after the death of the master from Xuanwei, this Taoist temple was inherited by him, the official documents are complete, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his private property.

"Immeasurable Tianzun, it's sad to think that my Dao Sect has fallen to this!" Looking at the incense lingering in the sky above Lingchan Temple, Xuan Wei sighed lightly.

When Xuanwei was still young, his master once told him that a long time ago, Buddhism had not yet entered China, and the view of heaven and earth at that time was far more beautiful than the current Lingchan Temple, and the people of ten miles and eight towns were almost all devout disciples of Taoism. Even the emperors and generals of all dynasties have come to heaven and earth to worship incense. It was not until later that Buddhism and Taoism competed, Buddhism began to flourish, and Taoism gradually declined, and the view of heaven and earth fell into the dilapidated appearance after several catastrophes.

From that moment on, the young Xuanwei vowed to take the revitalization of the Daomen as his own responsibility, and he would live up to the name that his master had chosen for him.

However, the view of heaven and earth is becoming more and more broken day by day, and even the old Taoist priest died a few years ago, and all Xuan Wei can do is to clean the Taoist temple every day, and offer a stick of incense in the morning and evening.

After cleaning the courtyard, Xuanwei Lei came to the main hall without moving, lit a bouquet of incense, and inserted it in front of the statue of Daozu Taishang Laojun.

There are all kinds of gods and goddesses in the heaven and earth view, but after the founding of the country, the whole Taoist temple was almost in ruins, and even the statue of Taishang Laojun was hidden by the ancestor of Xuanwei to be spared.

There are no believers, no incense, and the Heaven and Earth Temple can't even get the money for repairs, so they can't afford to invite other immortals.

"Dao Ancestor is above, disciple Xuanwei is incompetent, I am really ashamed!" Xuanwei respectfully kowtowed to the statue.

Just when Xuan Wei raised his head, a white light suddenly shot out from the statue of Taishang Laojun, and swooped into Xuan Wei's body.

From now on, the host will take on the responsibility of revitalizing the Daomen with the assistance of this system, and macro my Dao Law!"

A mechanical voice sounded in Xuanwei's head.

"Daomen Revitalization System, Dao Ancestor is on top, the disciple is grateful!" Xuan Wei was stunned, and after a few seconds, he showed a look of ecstasy, and bowed heavily to the statue of Taishang Laojun.

Although the view of heaven and earth is somewhat isolated from the world, in this information age, Xuanwei has more or less been exposed to online novels and understands what is called system flow.

"System, can you introduce your own functions?" Exiting the main hall lightly, Xuan Wei asked.

"This system provides a variety of magical spells, cheats and treasures, elixir runes, magic weapons, spirit beasts and treasures, and so on. ”

Xuan Wei's heart was hot when he heard this, isn't that no different from the immortals?

Fortunately, after Xuanwei has cultivated the Tao for so many years, his mental cultivation is still quite passable, and he has not long reined in distracting thoughts.

"So what do I need to do?" asked Xuanwei, who didn't think he would be able to get what the system said for free.

"Any item in the exchange function of this system needs to be redeemed by the incense offering in the temple, which is to attract believers and tourists because the host needs to start his own reputation and that of heaven and earth. At the same time, the system will also release tasks from time to time, and reward and punish the host according to their completion. ”

The system's answer was decent, not much different from what Xuan Wei expected.

"Ding! The system releases a novice task, and the host recites the Tao Te Ching 100 times in one day! The mission is not completed, depriving the host of Yang Shou for fifty years!" The system's voice sounded again.

Xuan Wei's first reaction was that this novice task was to give benefits! But after thinking about it carefully, his face was very ugly!

The Tao Te Ching has 81 chapters, including 37 chapters in the first part and 44 chapters in the second part, with a total word count of about 5,000 words, and it takes about 20 minutes to read the whole text according to the normal reading speed. In this way, even if you don't sleep 24 hours a day, you can only recite it 72 times.

"By the way, here's a reminder to the host, if you make a mistake or get stuck in the middle, you have to start all over again!" the cold voice of the system came fiercely.

Xuanwei, who hadn't fully digested the number a hundred times, almost didn't spit out a swear word, and he now wondered if the system was here to help him or trick him.

"Since the host has no doubts, then the timer begins!"

As the system's voice fell, a countdown phantom appeared above Xuanwei.

"Do you want to be so sudden?" Xuan Wei complained, and after finding that a few seconds had passed, he immediately settled down and recited the Tao Te Ching.

As a Taoist person, the Tao Te Ching should be familiar with it in his heart, how glad Xuan Wei was that his original homework was not pulled down at this moment, otherwise he would still be looking for books to read everywhere now.

The first time, it passed smoothly and took 12 minutes.

The second time, I became more fluent and took 11 minutes.

……

The tenth time, the mouth was a little sour, and it took 13 minutes.

……

The fiftieth time, my throat was uncomfortably dry, and I broke it halfway, plus the time wasted again, a total of 23 minutes.

……

For the seventieth time, his lips were chapped and bleeding, his throat was hoarse like a duck, and what was worse was that he was a little dizzy and dizzy at the moment because he had not eaten water and rice for a day.

……

Ninetieth time, Xuanwei's whole person seemed to turn into a piece of dead wood, except for his lips still squirming, and a subtle sound came from it.

……

Finally, when Xuan Wei finished reading the last sentence "The way of the sage, for the sake of not fighting", his tense consciousness could no longer hold on, and he fainted as soon as it was dark in front of him.
