Volume 1 Chapter 1 The Ruined Taoist Temple

Next Chapter

Autumn in the south, autumn is high and cool, the sky is blue and white, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the breeze is always quiet, and the breeze is more unforgettable!

Perhaps, some people don't think so.

Y Nan Province is close to the southwest corner of the Silk Road site, there are mountains, which are the extension of the mountain ranges in western Yunnan, and I want to say that one of the peaks of nine turns and eighteen bends. In the middle of the endless mountain range is located, called Chongyang Mountain.

The mountain is not too high, but you can see the Lancang River from afar, surrounded by dense towering trees.

There is a Taoist temple in Chongyang Mountain, called Chongyang Taoist Temple.

There are only two entrances to the front door and the back door of the Taoist temple, the front is the Taoist temple hall, and the back is the meditation room! It is also the place where the Taoist priest lives and lives...... Ahem, to be precise, it is the place where the little Taoist priest Haotian lives, because now he is the only one in the entire Taoist temple.

Just a few days ago, the old Taoist of Chongyang Taoist Temple, the old Taoist of Yimei, had already driven to the west, and the small Taoist temple, which was already dilapidated and about to collapse, and almost broke the incense, was even more desolate.

There is a Fusang tree in the courtyard of the Taoist temple, which was transported from the sea all the way from the Wa Kingdom by a local tyrant who made a great wish, and the Fusang tree was planted, but the local tyrant hung up. Originally, the desire to expand the Taoist temple was also frustrated, and there was no follow-up.

Although this hibiscus tree was planted, the climate in the south was originally the most suitable for living, and it was like spring all year round. Nature is being destroyed due to climate change. In recent years, heavy snow has begun to fall in the southern winter as well, and when a snow covered the Taoist temple, the Fusang tree was frozen and half dead.

Now all that remains of the Fuso tree is its dry branches swaying in the wind, and Haotian thinks more than once that in a few years, it will be split and used to make fires......

At this moment, Haotian was standing under the Fusang tree, holding an official document sent by the town government in his hand, his eyes were full of grievances, looking up at the sky, Haotian announced a loud voice: "Fusheng Immeasurable Tianzun, it is really a dog, I just want to return the vulgar as soon as possible! At this time, what are you doing with such a broken official document? Is it because of such a broken document that I want to be a Taoist priest of this broken Taoist temple? This broken Taoist temple has no money, there are few statues, and even the house is about to collapse." There are no pilgrims, not even a little incense, except for the wind and the wind, the rain and the rain, the green wind and rain are full, I really can't see what other benefits there are!

Ay......!

I just want to be an ordinary person in peace, get married, have children, and then be born and sick and die in the earth, is it so difficult? At the beginning, there was an old Taoist priest in this broken Taoist temple, and it was not easy to raise me, so I endured it and admitted it. Now that the old Taoist priest is gone, am I still going to rot and die in this broken Taoist temple? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

After saying that, Haotian crumpled the paper and threw it into the hollow of the tree.

Then the brisk meteor returned to the room, picked up the luggage that had been packed, and prepared to leave.

However, when he walked to the gate of the Chongyang Taoist Temple, he stopped, looked at the dilapidated plaque of the Chongyang Taoist Temple, and couldn't help but think of the grandfather who raised himself since he was a child, the master, the old Taoist, and the elder of the Yimei Dao, because the eyebrows of the old Taoist are more unique, and the eyebrows are slotted, so there will be such a title.

Most people of this age are afraid that they can't do anything, but at this age, Yimei Daochang can still open his own fields and grow vegetables, and then rely on his own hands to do some rituals, grow vegetables, and sell vegetables The money sent Haotian to school, and successfully let Haotian finish high school.

At the gate of this Taoist temple, Haotian was sent down the mountain by the Taoist Chief.

It was also at this gate that every time Haotian came back, he could see Yimei Lao Dao standing at the door waiting for him.

It's just that year after year, day after day, Haotian is getting taller and taller, Yimei Dao Chang is getting shorter and shorter, the hunchback is getting worse and worse as he gets older, and various diseases and rheumatism have also come to the door, but Haotian has never seen the old Taoist priest suffering in front of him, and the old Taoist priest is always smiling in front of Haotian.

In the words of Yimei Daochang: "Watching Haotian grow healthily day by day, and there are successors to Chongyang Taoist Temple, he will be happy and satisfied." ”

After hearing these words, Haotian's nose was sour every time, and he said in his heart: "This old Taoist priest is not like a Taoist master at all, shouldn't all cultivators be quiet and inactive, without desire and desire?"

It's a pity that the tuition fee for high school is too expensive, and after Haotian finishes high school, his health gradually fails, and he can't afford to continue to study in college.

So Haotian returned to the mountain and accompanied Yimei Daochang. It's a pity that Yimei never let him work in the field, only let him read Taoist books, and let him study Buddhism, from which he comprehended Taoist inaction and the seven treasures of Buddhism. At this time, although Haotian was also practicing Buddhism, it was also in vain. As for cooking, carrying water, etc., the old Taoist priest came alone.

An old Taoist let Haotian recite the "Tao Te Ching" every day, and now the relatives who love him are gone, and I still remember that the old Taoist priest often said: Tao can be Tao, very Tao, name can be named, very famous. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire, in order to observe its wonderfulness;

There is desire, in order to view its 徼 (jiào). These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same as the mysteries, the mysteries and the mysteries, and the doors of all the wonders.

Haotian thinks about all this now, and it is an indescribable memory.

After three years, the old Taoist priest still left.

Haotian has also graduated from high school for three years, and children of the same age are estimated to be about to graduate from college, and he is still trapped in this Chongyang Mountain.

In this regard, Haotian was full of resentment, and said to Yimei Lao Dao more than once that he wanted to go down the mountain to find a job and live a normal life, and he didn't want to suffer in the mountains.

But every time he saw the painful expression of his grandfather and the old Taoist, Haotian couldn't bear to say any more.

Haotian has always felt that he is the Sun Monkey who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and the old Taoist priest is a tight spell on his head, which is put on his head, so that he cannot be free. But when Yimei Dao Chang really left, he found that he was really wrong!

Yimei Dao Chang is not a tight mantra, but Haotian's only relative in this world. Grandpa is both a father and a mother, which is everything to him.

So he cried, knelt down at his grandfather's grave and wept for a day, and when he returned to the mountain, he cried day after day!

The first six days were really sad, and the next day was hungry......

Fortunately, on the seventh day, the town government staff came and brought rice and flour. Left a piece of paper, directly to Haotian a little Taoist priest promoted to become the master of the Chongyang Taoist Temple! Although the Taoist temple is not under the control of the town government, and the promotion is not under the control of the town government, but this paper document has some benefits, at least Haotian has rightfully become a person with a house and land from now on.

However, Haotian didn't plan to be a Taoist priest anymore at this time, he just wanted to go down the mountain as soon as possible to return to the world, to be able to marry a wife and have children like a normal person, and live a peaceful and happy life! What kind of Tao to cultivate, what kind of ghost Buddha to recite. He really didn't want to be poor anymore!

Thinking of this, Haotian turned around and looked at the tattered murals in the main hall, the Taoist gods of the fairy world, the Buddhas of the West, and the Chongyang Taoist Temple said: It is also a Taoist temple, but unfortunately there is not even a statue of the gods. Conform to nature,,...... Ay!

Haotian roared angrily: "Why, why do I want to worship you? I believe in you? But I have to suffer from poverty? The master will stop doing it, and I will not serve anymore! I will not do it! I will leave!"
