Chapter 221: The Old Man Is Not Yesterday, and the Dao Gate Is Hard to Purify

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!" The old monk stared outside the scripture hall for a long time, but no one came out inside, and he didn't know what happened to them. Seeing that it was getting late, he had to bring two little novices to the outside www.biquge.info of the scripture hall, and after praising a Buddha name, he knocked on the door.

No one responded.

The old monk pushed the door in, only to find that the scripture hall was empty. Even the three boxes on the altar disappeared.

The old monk smiled bitterly and shook his head, what else could he say?

Why does this real person look so displeased with Buddhism? He didn't even say hello, so he didn't say goodbye.

It's too disrespectful!

After 30 years, I revisited the old place.

Standing on top of the Taoist temple that had been in ruins, looking at the dilapidated houses after thirty years of wind and rain, he had to sigh - the vicissitudes of the world, the time of cultivators is really worthless!

Lichen looked up at the sky, the sun was about to set, and at this time, the yin energy began to rise, and the yang energy sank. Apparently this is no longer the right time for burial. If you want to help Wang Shuang and Wang Yu's brothers return to their ancestral graves and bury them next to their parents, it is obviously better to go again tomorrow morning.

Lichen flew all the way to Guiyang City, wanting to meet Mo Mo and his wife, after 30 years of separation, I think they are already old!

When I walked into the old alley, I found that this place was very different from that year. The ordinary courtyard house in the past has long been transformed into a garden-like mansion. There is also a large banner of Jinshi and the first in front of the mansion.

The poor and remote areas of Guizhou have never been a prosperous place for imperial examinations, and it is not easy to be a jinshi and a first. Therefore, to have a jinshi is already very beautiful in this Guiyang City.

Lichen smiled, I don't know if the prosperous and wealthy Mo Mo couple can still have the same original intention, just like back then.

Officials have the pomp of officials, and it seems that they have not changed for thousands of years. At least the pair of majestic stone lions in front of Mofu showed that thirty years later, there is a world of difference from the vicissitudes of life thirty years ago.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The poor road has an old relationship with the old lady of your house, please report it, and say that the old man is visiting! Lichen walked to the door and bowed to the doorkeeper, and said politely.

Menzi obviously looked Chen up and down suspiciously, and secretly thought in his heart: "My master is over fifty, so there will be a Taoist priest like you?" Won't it be where to fight the autumn breeze again! ”

Although he was skeptical, Menzi didn't dare to say anything unpleasant. After all, no matter how monk is Tao, it is not so easy to offend. And his own old lady, the old lady has always admired Taoism. It's not good to drive people out of the way.

"I don't know where this Taoist master is practicing? I'm also good to be a substitute," although Menzi will not say anything evil. But the threshold of self-consciousness is high, and not everyone can enter casually. Otherwise, if you go in and report it indiscriminately, you will introduce a liar or a thief or something, and you will have to take the lead.

"Poor Dao is practicing in Xuanguang Temple, please report it!" Lichen replied.

Menzi was stunned when he heard this. "Xuanguang Temple" is a golden signboard, who doesn't know that it is a famous royal Taoist temple in the world, and it is a famous place for immortals to practice. There are many points in this world. But there are more people who pretend to be Xuanguang Taoist priests to swindle and deceive.

Even if the mana of the "immortal" of the Xuanguang Temple reaches the sky, he can know the affairs of the world again. I can't control the whole world! The government caught, the scammers who were not caught followed by waves, who called the "entrance view" famous, and had high prestige among the people!

Menzi looked at the dust again and pursed his lips secretly. Even a Taoist robe is not a half-new linen clothes, thinking that with a "peach wood magic sword" on his back, he can pretend to be a "disciple" of a famous family by wearing a Taoist robe?

If you want to be a liar, you have to pay some money! The entrance view is full of incense, not bad money. How could there be such a down-and-out Taoist priest?

"I'm sorry, my lord is not here, if it's not early today, the lord and the old lady are not there, the house is full of female dependents, it is inconvenient to take in the Taoist, if the Taoist has a degree, you might as well go to the Taoist temple to place an order for a few days. When my master returns, how about the Taoist chief coming to visit? Menzi said casually.

Lichen sighed - how come all the men in the world are virtuous, only looking at clothes and not people?

Degree, dust has. But it will never be taken out lightly again. The stuff on it is too scary. It was something from the Yongle period, and the things of hundreds of years were about to become antiquities. Lichen doesn't want to easily reveal his identity in front of outsiders. I don't want to alarm too many people. It's really not necessary to conjure up a fake degree or "borrow" a degree.

Lichen shook his head, since he didn't have a chance, he didn't force it. Sighing, he resolutely turned around and left the gate of the Mo Mansion.

The threshold of Jinshi and the first is high, so don't be bored by yourself!

Looking at Chen's back, Menzi was proud for a while. secretly proud of his "fiery eyes", he saw through a big liar at a glance.

Kindness! I have to show my skills to the housekeeper, although the position of the door is not high, it is also a real fat difference and an important position!

Since Guizhou came to Guizhou 30 years ago, there have been a lot more Taoist temples. It's just that there are few real pure lands, and there are many people who sell dog meat on sheep's heads. Whether it is Taoism and Buddhism, or other religions. In the end, it is inevitable that they will be tempted by "red dust", greedy for money, and regard cultivation as a kind of profession.

Lichen went straight to the west of Guiyang City, where there is a large Taoist temple, which should have been built with the help of the "spring breeze" of dust. But like all temples and Taoist temples in the middle of the city, as soon as Lichen walked to the door, he smelled a strong copper smell.

I didn't even let in the door...

Even if he is dressed in a Taoist robe and claims to be a wandering Taoist priest, he can't come to place an order. The two middle-aged Taoist priests who guarded the door were well-dressed, at least all of them were made of Hangzhou silk, and they obviously looked down on the dust of a sackcloth robe, and their eyes and nose were turned up to the sky. only regarded the dust as a "mixed eating and drinking" of the rivers and lakes. The dust can endure that "door". After all, Menzi is just a layman, and he can't control the dust, and he doesn't want to care. Naturally, I don't want to bother with them. But the people in the Daomen don't even talk about the rules of the "Ten Directions Jungle", and they still hang the signboard of the "Daomen".

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! If you want to place an order, I'm afraid you can't manage it. "The dust is not angry.

After all, the Taoist Shifang Jungle is also called the Shifang Permanent Residence. There are Taoists of this school who travel in the clouds, and walking the world with one clothes and one rock bowl (rice bowl) is a kind of practice. Wandering outside, in addition to getting acquainted everywhere, is to find this Taoist temple to place an order. You can't go on a tour with a lot of money!

But this Taoist temple is not even accepted by the wandering Taoist people of this sect, what is the matter?

Li Chen really couldn't imagine that the Taoist temple would be corrupted to this point. I don't know how many Taoist temples there are, and how much mud will be smeared on the Taoist gate.

If it is the same as the previous life, it will become a "tourist attraction". It's all about the money. Lichen would rather he had never been to this era.

"Where did the wild Taoist priest come from, I'm afraid he is a swagger and a liar who came to mix rice and eat, right? This view does not accept outsiders, if you want to place an order, please go elsewhere. Want to eat and drink for nothing? No way! If it is late today, most of the pilgrims have already left, and the two Taoist priests who guard the door no longer have to worry about their "master" image, and they look high and tall in the face of the down-and-out but quite "horizontal", and say what they say. How can there be a little bit of a monastic taste?

It's almost the same as the green-skinned gangsters on the streets!

Or is it simply the green-skinned gangsters on the street who "transferred"?

"The jungle of the ten directions of the Daomen and the ten directions live permanently, why can't the poor Dao eat and drink for nothing? Moreover, as disciples of the Daomen, you do not praise the Heavenly Venerable in your mouth, do not keep the precepts, speak unscrupulously, and have bad karma in your mouth. How to practice? This Taoist temple has a gatekeeper like you. I don't know, who is the presiding officer here? After Lichen said a word, he walked towards the Taoist temple regardless of it, and the two Taoist priests who guarded the door stretched out their hands to stop them, but Lichen turned his head to look at them. The two gatekeepers immediately froze in place. Maintaining this interception posture, he couldn't speak, his body couldn't move, only his eyes were full of incredible horror.

Lichen's hand obviously suppressed a lot of guys who were giggling and watching the excitement, and it was evening class time. It seems that this Taoist temple that buys dog meat on the head of a sheep doesn't even have evening classes. If you don't talk about the rules and precepts, you don't have at least any spiritual homework. What kind of Taoist temple is it?

All the way, the guy who was covered with a layer of "Taoist skin" next to him was like nothing. It's not that there are no guys who don't know how to live or die, and rushed to the dust to make a contribution to the "Taoist Temple". It's just that without exception, they are all set there as statues. When the rest of the "Taoist priests" saw this, they immediately cowered and only dared to watch from a distance, and none of them dared to step forward again.

It must be said that there are smart people everywhere. As soon as the people of the Taoist temple saw the dust, it was obvious that they were not good-intentioned, and someone immediately ran to report to the master. When Lichen walked not far from the Sanqing Palace, an old Taoist priest with a white beard and white eyebrows rushed over to this group of guys who were "officials" in the sub-temple.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! I don't know where this fellow Taoist is practicing. Why do you come to this view to make trouble? "I have to say that this Taoist temple can flourish with incense, and the skin of this lord is indeed a bit of a master of fairy wind and bones. When people see it, they feel like they are "superior".

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! How? What is the reason that the disciple who went to report the news did not tell the master? Lichen asked with a smile.

"This, this..." The Lord was a little embarrassed.

Those who can be the lord are by no means fools, there are no three, two, three, who dares to run into the Taoist temple alone to make trouble? From the gate here, a distance of 100 zhang, there have been a lot of "statues", if you don't know that today's arrival is the "master" of this door, how is it possible?

"You can be the master of one view, and you should know the precepts and rules of my path. When will the Taoist temple not allow wandering Taoists to place orders, when can they not do their homework in the morning and evening, and let them practice, when can they be so wide in accepting money from all directions, and when can they take in so many people who are not suitable for entering the Tao to be my Taoist disciples? The more he spoke, the more stern he became, and he looked at the Taoist priests around him coldly, and the Taoist priests around him shrank their heads in fright, obviously wanting to retreat.

"Is the Daomen pure, is it for the praise of the Three Qings, for the preaching of the Daomen, for the purpose of recruiting believers, opening the door of detachment for all sentient beings, or is it for hiding filth and dirt and collecting money?" Lichen then asked.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" When the old man heard this, he actually sighed and chanted a Taoist slogan, looked at the dust deeply, apologized, and then said: "The Tao has come in the long run, and you have to place an order in this view, which is also a jungle in the ten directions, and the ten directions live permanently. At this time, it is a long story, if the Taoist chief does not dislike it, first live in the Taoist temple, and wait for all the formalities to be completed. ”

Lichen frowned, looking at the bitter face of the old master, and soon knew that there must be something hidden in it. He nodded and said, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Since the Lord has agreed, there is nothing to be done with poverty."

"That, that" Seeing that the dust agreed, the old lord immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at the "disciple" who was still a statue, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.

Lichen smiled, since he wanted to place an order in other people's Taoist temples, it was naturally inconvenient to embarrass everyone too much, and the face of the old man should also be sold a little, and Lichen thought he was a "reasonable" person. With a wave of his hand, the statues dozens of feet away immediately fell to the ground one after another. fell on his heels, and suddenly there was a sound of oops. At least the body is free.

With a small hand of Chen, the later Taoist priests, including the lord and the high-level of the prison, were all shocked, and the eyes that looked at the dust were obviously in awe.

With such a situation, the pending order procedure of the dust is obviously just a formality. The Taoist who received him didn't even look at it. If you watch it, you will definitely know what kind of big "BOSS" they have in their view.

In the middle of the night, Lichen was still meditating in the quiet room, but suddenly he woke up from his meditation with a frown, and said to the outside of the room: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" The Lord is the Lord, and the poor are the guests. If you come to visit late at night, why do you linger outside the door for a long time and don't dare to enter? ”

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! In front of a real person, how dare a disciple praise the master. The disciple came late at night, but considering that there were many people during the day, it would be inconvenient. So come late at night. Explain one or two to the real person, the disciple is indeed suffering! The Lord said respectfully outside the door.

"Oh, I don't want the Lord to recognize the poor road." Lichen smiled and didn't take it to heart.

"Come in!" Now that his identity has been exposed, Lichen simply doesn't pretend to be a wandering Taoist. With Chen's current status in Daomen, there is indeed no need to pretend to be polite with a little master. Naturally, he said that he was in a high position, and said as if he was instructing a disciple.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The disciple meets the real person, the real person is blessed forever, and the longevity and Tianqi "As soon as the master entered the door, he immediately saw the dust.

"Get up! You say you have a hard time, you might as well talk about it! He said with a smile.

"Yes," Lord Zhen respectfully stood aside and explained: "It's not that the disciples don't know, most of the official disciples come and fill the number, they are not from our Tao, and they hide filth and dirt, and take in too many scoundrels who are not doing their jobs. It's just that the disciples have no choice but to do it! ”

"Talking about the point," said Chen, frowning. He didn't come late at night to hear the Lord's grievances. In any case, he is the master of one view, and at this time, the prestige of the Dao Sect is involved, and he cannot afford to care about it. And the Lord is obviously derelict in his duties, even if he has ten thousand reasons.

"This Taoist temple is no longer a disciple who can be the master!" Lord Zhen said with a bitter face and a crying voice.

"Oh! So whose family is this Taoist temple, and who is in charge? Lichen asked angrily.

"The government still has the Mo family," the lord lowered his head and said with a sad face.
