175. The Appearance of the Dragon and the Tiger

In troubled times, Taoist priests went down the mountain, and monks in prosperous times collected money.

Li Zimu nodded, this sentence is actually not wrong at all. Buddhism only came from North India during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, while Taoism was a native sect of China.

Heroes in troubled times are inevitable of the times, and among the heroes of the ages, some of them are from Taoist laymen, such as Zhuge Kongming, who is known as Wolong laymen, and laymen were Taoist people in the past.

In ancient times, lay people were people who practiced at home, not at Taoist monasteries. Nowadays, lay people have become a general term for those who practice the Tao or Buddhism at home.

It's a pity that in today's prosperous years, the figure of the Taoist has long disappeared, otherwise Li Zimu wouldn't have been able to help but take a look at the Taoist priest when he saw it before.

Buddhism, on the other hand, dominates the two schools, and temples of all sizes can be seen everywhere, and many people are willing to go in to pray for peace.

However, it is undeniable that Buddhism has not done much to help the country, and it has only strengthened social stability.

However, Li Zimu does not think that Taoism has disappeared like this, although it is said that the Taoist temple has long disappeared, but Li Zimu firmly believes that if China faces the problem of national destiny one day in the future, those old Taoists who are cultivating in the deep mountains and old forests will reappear in the rivers and lakes, after all, it is a sect that is native to China, how can it disappear?

"Okay, you have a great tongue, there are so many teahouses in this ghost city, I can't go to another house" The monk glared at the Taoist priest and said, every time he quarreled with this guy, he always lost the battle, which made him feel very faceless, and he had no choice but to fight and couldn't beat it, so he had to avoid his edge, so he turned around and left.

"Let's go too, almost," Li Zimu said after taking the last sip of tea in the teacup, he never drank the second cup of this kind of brewed tea. Looking at the time, it was almost ugly, and this time passed just right.

Chi Ling hurriedly stuffed another osmanthus cake into her mouth, holding two in her hand, and after taking two steps, she felt that there were still so many things that were really not in line with her style, so she turned around and served the whole plate, and chased after Li Zimu in front......

"Forget it, that old bald man really ruined my Yaxing, I'm also leaving, goodbye everyone," but he stood up and arched his hand to the people present, and then raised his foot and pushed away the stool and walked to the counter to settle the bill.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing so fast!" Chi Ling hurriedly caught up with Li Zimu in front of her and walked side by side with her and said, there were still two osmanthus cakes in his mouth that had not been chewed, and he couldn't speak very clearly.

Li Zimu glanced at her and didn't speak, and walked straight to the corner of the street, there were more people on the road, and there were also people who looked like dust and dust, it seemed that they had just come out of the ghost gate, most of them were walking in the same direction as Li Zimu, and they should also go to the ugly building over there.

"The little friend in front, wait a minute" Just as Li Zimu and a few people rushed to Chouyin Building, a person's shout came from behind him, and Li Zimu heard the voice of the Taoist priest in the teahouse before, so he stopped and turned to look at him.

Only then did Li Zimu see the complete appearance of this Taoist priest clearly, he only saw a side face before, this person was wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, he was not tall, about 1.7 meters, with a poke of beard, small eyes, red face and thin lips, but he was somewhat similar to Guan Yunchang.

"Taiyiguan?" Li Zimu looked at the word Taiyi embroidered on his chest and said with a smile, I didn't expect this person to be a person from Taiyiguan, he had also dealt with people from Taiyiguan before, but it was hundreds of years ago.

Nowadays, there are only about 3,000 Taoist temples in China, which is really pitiful compared to Buddhist temples, and most of today's Taoist temples are distributed in Xiangbei Province, where they are now located.

"Xiaoyou knows that our Taiyi Concept has lived up to my Taoist heritage for so many years, and there are still people who know, and there is fate," the middle-aged man touched his beard, which was already small, and said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Li Zimu said lightly, I don't just know that you are Taiyiguan, even your ancestor has drunk tea with me before......

"It's weird, it's weird, I always feel that Xiaoyou's face is a little weird, it's really weird......" The Taoist priest didn't answer Li Zimu's question, but said something inexplicably incomprehensible.

"You can also see my face when I'm wearing a mask?" Li Zimu smiled mockingly and said, the face is mainly to look at the upper part of the person's eyebrows, eyes and forehead, and the part of his face is just blocked by the mask, this person is actually looking at his face? It's really funny, he can also look at the face, so he naturally knows the Tao in it.

"That's why I stopped you this time, can Xiaoyou take off the mask, this way can count a hexagram for you for free, no fee, what do you think?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, when Li Zimu entered the teahouse before, he also suddenly looked at the latter's side face, and only felt a little strange, so he waited for Li Zimu to leave, and Yaxing followed him under the pretext that the monk was broken.

"Okay" Li Zimu chuckled and said, his physiognomy, even if he was an old Taoist priest who had lived for more than a hundred years, he couldn't see it, with this person's skills, it was a strange thing to be able to see it.

After saying that, Li Zimu gently took off the mask, looked at the Taoist priest in front of him, let him see, and after about a few seconds, he put the mask back on.

"It's strange...... Taoist priest raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously, looking at the face, it is just numerology and fortune measurement, and the face of the young man in front of him, he can't see the slightest brow, just wanted to observe it more carefully, but the latter put on the mask again.

"What did you see?" Li Zimu said with a smile, this person probably didn't see anything.

"Like a dragon, like a tiger, Shu Bendao's eyes are still shallow, I can't see the face of Mr., this action made a few people laugh" The Taoist priest shook his head and said, then Li Zimu arched his hand and turned to walk away.

Li Zimu turned around and walked forward, without the slightest wave in his heart, he had expected this for a long time, but although the Taoist priest didn't see it, he touched the edge.

That's the dragon and the tiger. Eight hundred years ago, Changchun Zhenren, the Taoist leader of Changchun Temple, once showed Li Zimu a photo, but he saw it more deeply.

Li Zimu's face is different from others, ordinary people have only one face, but Li Zimu has two faces.

Changchun real people call it the appearance of the dragon and tiger. The dragon phase represents the emperor, which means that Li Zimu was born to be an emperor. And the tiger phase represents the hero, that is to say, Li Zimu was born to be a vicious person who is not wanted by the world.
