Chapter 212: The Taoist Temple is difficult to clean, and there are strange things in the deep mountains

If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info etc. are idle but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable!

It's not just the hearts of crazy men and women that are easy to change!

The vicissitudes of the world and the turn of the years. And the human heart is the thing that cannot stand the grinding of time.

Maybe some people are more kind when they have no money and no power. But once you soar, how many people can not forget their original intentions?

Since you have worked hard to climb to another class, you naturally have to quickly integrate into another class, or be assimilated by this class.

From the mouth of this old lord, Lichen knew why the view was so unbearable, and also knew why the old lord had so much helplessness.

Not every Taoist temple can be content with poverty, and not every Taoist temple can be treated with care by the local government like a famous mountain and a grand temple.

For example, this Taoist temple, from the day it was established, he was the family temple of the old lady Mo who wished for the grace of God for his high school.

At the beginning of this Taoist temple, it was originally similar to the Mo family's family temple. Therefore, the property rights of Taoist temples have not been very clear.

Don't think that there will be much reverence in officialdom. As long as there are enough interests, the courage and cheekiness of the government will immediately be beyond people's imagination.

Whether it is a Taoist temple or another religious place. As long as there are enough believers to rely on, it will easily become a money-absorbing weapon. Where the incense is particularly vigorous, it is not a problem to make a thousand dollars every day.

It's just that maybe even the Mo family themselves don't know that they just built a small Taoist temple, and the incense will be so vigorous. As the incense of the Taoist temple becomes more and more prosperous, in the face of a large amount of "financial resources", how can it be possible to be tempted by the people of the Mo family?

Especially when you hit a cornucopia right under your nose.

The Taoist temples and temples of this era were not exempt from paying taxes. At the beginning, the Mo family just hoped to hang a part of the land in the name of this Taoist temple to avoid the taxes of the imperial court. After all, even if the Mo family is no longer good, the taxes that Mo officials can reduce or reduce are limited.

And the Mo family's family business is growing too fast.

It's hard to get someone else's money in your own pocket!

It's even harder to give someone else the money you have in your pocket!

Maybe Mo Mo, who had just started, could still stick to his heart, but as the family business became bigger and bigger, Old Lady Mo's mentality began to gradually change, and in the end, it was no different from an ordinary official family.

Maybe even more greedy!

At the very least, officials may have concealed their property from each other, paid little or no taxes, and did not include the income of the Taoist temple in their own income.

Moreover, being a Taoist priest can be done without production, and the money that passes through is also like flowing water. As a result, there are fewer and fewer true Taoists in Taoist temples, and there are more and more false Taoists. Even if it was the master, it was only invited by the Mo family. And if the Taoist priest himself wants to obtain the Taoist priesthood, he can't help but deal with the government.

Maybe it's for exchange, maybe it's to get rid of suspicion, to set the record straight. Later, the Mo family actually sold the title deed of the Taoist temple to the government.

A left-hand-for-right-handed transaction gave another mother-in-law on the head of the Taoist temple. And it's even more unclear who the Taoist priest belongs to...

Over time, the Taoist temple became what it is today.

Maybe what Lichen saw was only a superficial scene, how many of the selfishness in it were that the Lord didn't dare to talk about, and Lichen didn't know?

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! That's it, these things are already known, and the night is dark, so go down! Lichen closed his eyes and chased away the guest, his face was unwavering, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or happiness, sadness or anger. The old lord cautiously slapped his face and glanced at the dust, but he really couldn't see anything. With a sigh, he had to bow and leave.

"Money-obsessed, red dust is blind!" After the old master left, Lichen Guess shook his head slightly and sighed. The sound is inaudible.

How can it be dusty, it is also an old monster that has lived for more than a hundred years, and it can be regarded as right and wrong, and the human heart has passed. This old lord is obsessed with thinking about using the dust, he really takes himself too seriously, and he doesn't take the dust seriously.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and the old man said that he was so innocent. Could it be that the Taoist temple has fallen to this day, is it really just someone else's fault?

I don't believe the words of the Lord. Maybe what the old lord said tonight is true, but behind the truth, there are still many old lords who have not said. Lichen could only shake his head.

The old lord is a good face of a cultivator. He looks very proficient in the Taoist classics. Unfortunately, these are just appearances. Hongchen is obsessed, addicted to power, and the intrigue of money, and cannot extricate himself. Even the dust who came to the door dared to selfishly calculate and use it, how could he have the appearance of a person who devoted himself to cultivation?

After all, it's just an ordinary man. Lichen doesn't expect every person in the Taoist Gate to be able to transcend the red dust, but to be a monk for a day and hit the bell for a day, there is not even a minimum "bell ringing" in this Taoist temple, and this lord is really too derelict in his duty.

In fact, when he saw everything in the view, he had already made up his mind to clean up the portal and save himself from corrupting the Daomen. The old man didn't come in the middle of the night, but in fact, it didn't affect the dust at all.

The next day, early in the morning, Lichen took Wang Shuang, Wang Yu and Wang Daoren's family back to the small village where they grew up.

Time seems to flow very slowly in such a cottage, except for a few wooden houses and a new generation, the scenery in the cottage has not changed much.

Lichen walked into the cottage in a Taoist robe. Although unfamiliar, the people in the cottage are still as kind as before, and they salute when they see the dust.

It wasn't until the patriarch in the cottage heard the news that he rushed over and saw the dust, and a pair of teary eyes instantly fell down in front of the dust and said, "Thank you Tianzun!" Immortal, you're finally here. Immortals have really become immortals in the sky. We're all old, and the appearance of the fairy hasn't changed at all! ”

Lichen smiled and helped the old patriarch up, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a strong and strong mountain man back then! Now you have gray hair and even your legs and feet are so sluggish?

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The old patriarch is fine. The first salute of the dust.

"It's okay, it's okay. Since the fairy came and helped us move a big stone, the cottage has been smooth in the past few years, and the six animals have been thriving. It's just that we're all old! The old patriarch sighed and pulled a middle-aged man behind him: "This is my eldest son, and now he is the patriarch." When he was young, you helped him see a doctor! If it weren't for you, he would have been gone! ”

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" After meeting each other with the old patriarch's son, the new patriarch, Lichen followed him to the patriarch's own house.

The cottage is simple, and the patriarch's house is already the largest and most "luxurious" house in the entire cottage. As soon as the dust sat down, many old people in the mountains came to visit the "immortal chief". He also brought his own offspring, and for a while the patriarch's family was overcrowded.

After a few hurried conversations with everyone, he asked the young man and the child to go back first.

On the bamboo floor of the patriarch's house, there was only dust, the old patriarch and some old people back then.

Everyone drank the specially brewed tea of the cottage, while talking about the bits and pieces of these years. Lichen smiled slightly, listening carefully to the memories of these old people.

In a flash of thirty years, the old man in this place can live to sixty, which is already considered a long life.

The old man sitting here now doesn't have many years left in this world.

Why are cultivators unwilling to be contaminated with too much red dust, in addition to all kinds of red dust and fear of losing the firmness of the Dao heart, it is not that the time difference between each other is too big. Who can watch waves of people around them be born in waves and grow old in waves, but there are no waves?

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! I don't know if the relatives of the brothers of Shi (Wang Shuang) and Shanhuai (Wang Yu) are still alive? After waiting for the old friends to finish greetings, he picked up the tea, and asked about the fragrance of the white tea.

"Oh! You said Wang Shuang, Wang Yu brothers! In the end, the old patriarch used to be the "head" of this cottage, and he was more familiar with the cottage than anyone else, and when he heard Chen's question, he thought about it, and immediately remembered: "Now the cottage has a Han name." After all, the young people in the cottage want to go out and see, how can they do without a Chinese name? The Taoist chief directly said that Wang Shuang, Wang Yu and their brothers are fine. ”

After the old patriarch finished speaking, he put down the tea bowl in his hand, sighed and said, "Gone, all gone." Back then, after Wang Shuang and Wang Yu's brothers left, they didn't expect that their little brother would be drowned in just two years. Over the years, the old couple of the Wang family have relied on the village to feed. The only daughter who is still married is far away, and I heard that she is not having a good time. I can't come to see their parents often. The old couple is having a hard time! Every day, he was waiting at the door for his two sons to come back. In the end, I can't stand it, the first two years are gone! ”

"This Wang brother is too ruthless, after so many years, he has never returned, and even their father and mother are the descendants of the cottage to help cook. His father and his mother were on the top of the back mountain, not buried in the ancestral grave of the clan, saying that he stood high and could see far away, and he could see the two brothers coming back from a distance! "When people get older, they may care more about their families, and their feelings are very rich. Speaking of what happened to the old couple of the Wang family, everyone had red eyes.

"Taiyi Immeasurable Salvation Tianzun!" Lichen prayed in a low voice, looked at the old patriarch and said, "Wang Shuang, Brother Wang Yu was killed more than twenty years ago. Poor Dao came to send them back to their hometown for burial this time. ”

"The leaves fall back to the roots, and the fox dies on the hill. Returning to their hometown and returning to their parents is also their request when they leave, as their master, they are ashamed of their brothers, and they are ashamed of their parents! Lichen sighed deeply and said apologetically.

There was a sudden silence on the bamboo building, and everyone put down the tea bowls, and there was no squeak for a long time.

"Hey! It's fate! How can you blame the fairy for growing you. Without the immortal elder, when the Wang family was infected with the plague, it would have been gone long ago. It's not about today's Immortal Chief's apology. Even if the immortal chief has never been here, there are many such things in the cottage every year! After the old patriarch comforted him, everyone echoed and comforted the dust in turn.

"Patriarch, help me invite Wang Shuang, Wang Yu's sister! The two disciples of the poor Dao are here, and only one of her sisters is still alive. When you can't be buried, you don't have a single immediate relative! Lichen sighed and said to the patriarch.

"Little things, little things. I'll send someone to inform me that no matter how arrogant the old woman is, she won't even sell the face of me, the patriarch. Besides, their patriarch even hunted with me! It's all old brothers. And you're familiar with the immortal, so it's definitely no problem. The patriarch patted his chest and said. The information leaked made Chen frown slightly.

After 30 years of dust, returning to the cottage is a great event for this small cottage with a population of only a few hundred people. Especially after a farewell of thirty years, this immortal chief has not changed at all, coupled with the deeds of the dust back then, so that the people of the cottage directly regarded the dust as a mortal immortal in the sky.

And so. There were a lot of people around the place where Lichen was temporarily staying. You can't get rid of it. I want to see the demeanor of the immortals and see what the dust looks like.

If it weren't for the patriarch driving people away, I don't know how many people would have been watching.

In the evening, Wang Yu and Wang Shuang's sister were finally brought back by the young clansmen sent by the old patriarch. She also came with her husband, mother-in-law, and a pair of children.

Speaking of Wang Shuang, when Wang Yu left the house, their sister was only a little older. Thirty years later, this woman, who was only in her thirties, looked much older than her actual age.

The old patriarch said that the younger sister of the Wang family is not doing well, and it seems to be true.

The dust will Wang Shuang's family, plus Wang Yu stopped in the ancestral hall of the cottage. Four black coffins were placed side by side, and not far from them was the shrine of their ancestors.

The wanderer finally returned to his hometown, but it was a pity that after 30 years of absence, he came back with these few coffins that were pitch black and could not speak.

Maybe the younger sister of the Wang family doesn't have much memory of her two elder brothers. When her two brothers left home, she was still lying in her mother's arms, unable to speak!

But in the days that followed, he grew up listening to his parents talking about their distant son. Until he got married, until his parents left, the pair of brothers who had been away from home for many years never heard from him.

Now they have finally returned, but they are no more than two coffins that cannot speak. As their sisters, they have never said a word to them, leaving an image, and they have been separated forever.

The younger sister of the Wang family cried loudly. is not only complaining about the brother lying in the coffin, but also crying for the entire Wang family.

In ancient times, whether the daughter who married was doing well or not, half was in her mother-in-law's house, and half was in her mother's house. An orphan girl who has no support from her parents, brothers and mother's family, and then meets an evil mother-in-law, how can future generations understand that day?

The people in the cottage shook their heads and sighed when they heard the earth-shattering cries in the ancestral hall. As a clansman, I may be able to help occasionally, but in the end, I am only a clansman!

If my sister's two brothers were still there, how could the family dare to treat her like this?

Just when the younger sister of the Wang family was crying bitterly in the ancestral hall, the in-laws of the younger sister of the Wang family also found the bamboo floor of the dust.

Kindness! They are here to "help" the younger sister of the Wang family and recover Wang Shuang, Wang Yu's inheritance and pension over the years.
