335. I didn't bring a gift
"Did you bring a present?"
"I thought you brought ......"
"Coincidentally, I thought you brought ...... too"
"So what now?"
"Empty gloves white wolf, what else can I do?"
"Cheng ......" Zhuge Yinglong said speechlessly, drove the car along the road to the mountain, and after a while, he came to a fork in the road, one was to the private house on the mountain, and the other was to the Taoist temple behind the mountain.
There was a group of people standing at the fork in the road, all dressed in the robes of the Bagua Gate, needless to say, this was the person in charge of reception.
Zhuge Yinglong stopped the car very interestingly and pressed the window down, and then one of them walked over, and without waiting for him to speak, Zhuge Yinglong directly handed him the invitation.
Li Zimu shook his head, big guy, you should look like a big guy, what are you doing so impatiently......
"Welcome, please take this road" The man glanced at the invitation, and after knowing that this group of people was from the Diancang faction, he even spoke in a lower tone unconsciously.
Zhuge Yinglong nodded, pressed the window of the car, started the car and drove along the road he pointed to, this road leads to the Taoist temple under the mountain, it seems that today's banquet is held in the Taoist temple.
"Don't talk for a while, I'll just come, your current identity is my driver," Li Zimu thought for a while and said.
Judging from Zhuge Yinglong's performance just now, I am afraid that he will not be able to substitute the identity of a disciple of the Diancang Sect into the role, and he will be fucked up when the time comes, after all, Li Zimu does not know the current situation of the Diancang Sect at all.
"Okay" Zhuge Yinglong nodded and did not refuse, and he couldn't help but feel angry because of the identity of the driver, but felt a lot more relaxed.
You can see the Taoist temple on the mountainside from a distance, this Taoist temple is not big, the car can only be parked outside the mountain gate, and now, there are a lot of cars parked in the open space.
"I didn't expect to meet acquaintances...... Li Zimu walked out of the car, looked around the platform and said, Huaxia is really small, I don't see you when I look up.
"What? How can there be ...... here" Zhuge Yinglong looked around and said, how can there be anyone here......
"Let's go first" Li Zimu didn't explain, he walked in front by himself, and Pudding also walked beside him very consciously and held his wrist, Zhuge Yinglong followed, and the three of them went up the stone steps and walked behind the mountain gate.
The layout of the Taoist temple is somewhat similar to that of the temple, but it is slightly different, but it is more like the layout of the imperial palace, but it is not so luxurious.
After crossing the mountain gate and going up, three people walked on a road after the stone steps, in front of which was a bridge, and there was water flowing below, but it was not big, just a stream between the mountains, and there were two bell towers after crossing the bridge.
After the bell tower is a square, not very big, at a glance you can see the Jade Emperor Hall behind the square.
There are a lot of people in the square, most of them are middle-aged, wearing suits, these should be the guests who came to Zhuge Bagua Gate today. When you come out as a guest, you naturally have to dress formally, otherwise it will look a little disrespectful to the host's family.
There are also some people wearing Bagua Taoist robes, who are also disciples of the Bagua Sect, who are chatting with these guests, and obviously they know each other.
Li Zimu came relatively late, because it was time to start the meal in a while.
Some people also turned their heads to look at Li Zimu and the three of them, today they were all guests invited by the Bagua Gate, although they were new faces, but they didn't say anything.
"Three of you, please go this way"
A young man in a black robe greeted him and said amicably, those who come are guests, and those who can come in here are all people with invitations, and Zhuge Yinglong took the invitation in his hand, and he was not blind, so he naturally saw it.
His identity is relatively low in the door, so it can only be regarded as a welcome reception, and he doesn't dare to ask about the identity of these guests, because most of them are people from some Jianghu sects, and their status is undoubtedly higher than him, so he just leads the way in front.
And Li Zimu also nodded without speaking, and followed him to the Jade Emperor Hall in front.
Taoism and Buddhism are not the same culture, so they worship differently, Taoism is mainly dedicated to the Sanqing Tianzun and the Jade Emperor and other messy things, while Buddhism is also dedicated to the Buddha and Bodhisattva and the like.
Although the objects of worship are different, there is no difference in essence.
And this Jade Emperor Palace, of course, is dedicated to the Jade Emperor.
The three of them followed the little Taoist priest in front of them into the Jade Emperor Palace, and Li Zimu looked at the almost two-meter-high wooden carved statue, this is the Jade Emperor.
Dressed in a nine-chapter robe, wearing a crown of twelve beads, holding a jade wat in his hand, sitting on a dragon chair. In front of the shrine and on both sides of the shrine hang many banners, on which are embroidered many different colors of seal characters.
There are six bronze statues on the left and right sides, and these are the four heavenly masters and the two attendants in front of the Jade Emperor's steps. The wall of the hall is hung with a total of eight silk painting paintings of the Southern Dipper, the Big Dipper, the Thirty-six Shuai, and the Twenty-eight Nights.
This is the case with Taoist temples in most places, and this is no exception.
Four people went around the sculpture to the apse, where there were people.
At the table of the Eight Immortals, there were several Taoist priests sitting on the table, who were writing the list of guests who came to the Bagua Gate with a brush, and there were several people waiting in line in front of them.
These people Li Zimu didn't know, and they didn't know which sect they belonged to, or maybe they weren't from the rivers and lakes.
According to Zhuge Yinglong's words, every year, there are not only visitors from the Bagua Sect, but also some ordinary people.
They are all guests of the Bagua Gate, and most of them are some outsiders who are useful to the Bagua Gate. or donate a lot of money every year, or have a relatively high status in society.
But the same thing is that they all have more or less gifts in their hands......
Give gifts, you always have to give something to other people's banquets, but Li Zimu didn't remember it until he arrived today, and Zhuge Yinglong didn't think about it at all.
“…………”
It didn t take long to line up to li zimu here the dao priest at the table looked at li zimu and the three people didn t speak because.
None of the three men had a gift in their hands, what did they say?
These gifts are all to be recorded, who gave what, today is the first time he has received a guest without a gift, and it seems that he has not encountered it in previous years......
Li Zimu didn't have the slightest embarrassment on his face, and motioned to Zhuge Yinglong to hand him the invitation.
The Taoist priest had no choice but to smile and take it, these three are all fresh faces, I haven't seen them in previous years, I think it's the first time I've come.
And the fresh faces are generally not the Jianghu sects, because some of the Jianghu sects have been fixed over the years, only less and not more, so the fresh faces are generally social people.
The first time a member of the public came to the house, he didn't even bring a gift?
When he Zhuge gossip was what, the little Taoist priest was stingy in his heart, opened the invitation in his hand to prepare for the record, and was also curious where these three were from.
As a result, when he saw the three words of Cangpai, he was immediately dumbfounded......
