Chapter 449: Things Are Wrong
The appearance of this goatee was very unpleasant, Jin Ruoxi recalled that the Taoist priest he met with Yang Yi in the Thousand Buddha Temple before, except for the appearance of the same, there was no difference at all in other aspects, such as the other party's obscene eyes and smile, which really made people feel no good.
At the moment, he said coldly: "This Taoist, we are all good young people in the twentieth century, we have been taught to believe in science and knowledge since we were children, and we have no interest in feudal superstition and ghosts and gods. You look like a fortune teller, so please tell me, is there any scientific basis for your fortune telling? Otherwise, how can you know that someone is going to be lucky and someone is going to be unlucky? ”
Mingyue and Ah Xun couldn't help but smile, although what Jin Ruoxi said lacked a little politeness, but the words were ugly and reasonable, and fortune-telling did not have any scientific basis. Today's charlatans generally belong to observing and then picking up some good ones, and the degree of truth will not exceed five percent. Of course, there are many of them who have been fooled once or twice, but in general there is no basis for any justification, and only older people will believe their words.
Because of the call from the Taoist priest of Youfang last time, that is, Mingyue's master, there will be an adventure behind Yang Yi, which not only relieved the discomfort of the body, but also greatly increased the strength of the successful washing of the marrow. And now that he met a similar Taoist priest, Yang Yi felt a little interesting, waved his hand to signal a few girls not to speak, took out Tianxiu and handed it over, and said with a smile: "What instructions does this Taoist chief have?" ”
The goatee made a look of a fairy wind, stroked the sparse beard on his chin, and said seriously: "This little brother, originally Poor Dao was a person outside the world and didn't want to pay attention to things in the world, but Poor Dao couldn't bear to see you suffer a catastrophe, so he stopped your way." ”
Seeing that what the other party said was very outrageous, Jin Ruoxi threw away the half-eaten sugar gourd in his hand, and said with a smile: "Old Daoist, what you said seems to be true, how much money do you plan to collect?" ”
"Poor Dao just can't bear to see this little brother suffer a catastrophe, so he kindly reminded him that it would be too much to talk about money." Goatee smiled dryly: "Of course, although Poor Dao is a person from outside the world, he still has to ensure that he is not troubled by hunger for three meals a day, so if you want to make some convenient money, then Poor Dao will thank you first." ”
Mingyue and Ah Xun looked at each other speechlessly, they still didn't know the ability of this dirty old Taoist priest in front of them, but when it came to the thickness of their skin, it was definitely unmatched.
"That's it!" Jin Ruoxi didn't want to talk to the other party too much, so he took out a stack of red dragon coins from the 'Xinel' he carried, took out a few and stuffed them into the other party's hand, and said: "These few hundred yuan are considered convenient for us, please go to someone else to calculate the hexagram, we still have something to do, so we will leave first!" After speaking, he didn't care about the joy on the old Taoist priest's face, and pulled Yang to turn around and leave.
The old Taoist priest checked a few dragon coins several times, and after making sure that they were not counterfeit banknotes, he carefully put them in his arms, and when he looked up, he found that Yang Yi and the others had walked more than ten meters away, and hurriedly said loudly: "Hey! What I just said is true, that little brother's eyes are scattered, Yin Tang is black, there must be a disaster in the near future! ”
Finding that Yang Yi and the others ignored him, the old Taoist priest was also quite helpless, and muttered to himself: "Anyway, I am reminding you, and you can't help it if you don't listen to me!" ”
Yang Yiyi and his party walked through the lively square and stepped on the steps to the Taoist temple. What was once a gentle upward and winding loess path has now been transformed into a wide staircase for more than a dozen adult men to walk side by side.
Standing at the bottom, you can clearly see that there are two stone pillars at the top of the steps, and the stone carving banner in the middle is engraved with several big characters of flying dragons and phoenixes - Snow Clothes View. There are also two merit incense sticks under each of the two stone pillars, and two Tsing Yi trails are guarding beside them, and once someone donates money, no matter how much, they will immediately write their names in the merit book and thank them at the same time.
"I even have a name!" Yang Yi was quite satisfied with the effect of the previous advertisement, took out a dragon coin with a face value of five yuan from his body, and stuffed it into the merit box. Tsing Yi Xiaodao made a gesture to Yang Yi, and at the same time took out a pen and opened the merit book, while saying, "May I ask the name of this Fang Shizun?" ”
Yang nodded to Zhi Tianxiu, waved his hand and said: "If you don't remember the name, the small meaning is not a tribute, and it will be used to build a snow-clothed Taoist temple in the future." ”
Tsing Yi Xiaodao made another move, but scolded in his heart: "What can you do with five yuan?" Building a Taoist temple? I'm afraid I can't even afford a broom. ”
Jin Ruoxi was more generous, and stuffed a hundred merit boxes for Ah Xun and Mingyue, but he didn't write down his name like Yang Yi. After that, the four of them went up together, and finally came to the door of the Taoist temple.
In the memories of Yang Yi and Mingyue, there was a big tree at the entrance of the Taoist temple that was hugged by several people, and the mountain gate of the Taoist temple was also crumbling due to wind and rain erosion and disrepair, and it seemed that it might collapse at any time. The hundred-year-old tree at the entrance of the temple is still alive, and the official has built a small fence for it to prevent tourists from damaging it intentionally or unintentionally.
The narrow open space at the entrance of the temple has been filled and repaired in a series of ways, and now it has become a wide open space, where tourists and Taoist priests can be seen everywhere. Directly in front is the snow clothes view, a black background gold paint signboard on the plaque above the mountain gate, and the three golden characters of 'snow clothes view' are shining.
The dilapidated mountain gate has now been renovated, and at the rear is a majestic palace. The former Taoist temple has been dismantled and renovated into a brand new palace. There is a huge copper incense burner at the entrance of the palace, and the fragrance of sandalwood slowly wafts away, and the entire Taoist temple is shrouded in fragrance. The bronze incense burner is clearly newly manufactured, and it is cast with eight dragons with teeth and claws, and the intricate overlapping patterns are arranged according to yin and yang, and the whole incense burner looks quite flavorful.
Several Taoist priests in plain Taoist uniforms stood on both sides of the gate with serious faces, and engraved this couplet on both sides of the gate behind them: "The morning bell and the dusk drum wake up the world's fame and fortune." Chanting morning and evening, in exchange for the charming dream of the earth. ”
The expressions of the tourists who enter are different, some laughing, some chatting, some whispering, and some fighting. But after coming out, his expression became much more pious and serious, at least he didn't look like he was before, and it seemed that he was affected by the solemnity in the Taoist temple.
"How many alchemists are offering incense or asking for a lot?" Yang Yi and the others were about to enter the Taoist temple with the tourists, and a Taoist priest on the side stretched out his hand to stop them, and said: "Due to the large number of pilgrims at the moment, if a few monks are asking for a signature, it will take a while." "Shangxiang asked for a sign originally together, but due to the large number of people entering and leaving, they had to temporarily separate the two types of guests. The guests who offered the incense did not wait too long, so it was placed in the front.
Afraid that Yang Yi and the others would misunderstand, the Taoist priest explained: "The request for a sign has now been changed to the afternoon time, you can go to the side hall to rest for a while, we have a special meal and a place to rest." We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you. ”
"Where's the old Taoist?" Yang Yi threw away the cigarette butt and said with a smile: "Now that he has a good scale, is he also like in TV, has he become a master?" Do you want to make an appointment if you want to see it? You go and tell him, just say that I, Yang Yi, are here, and ask him to come out and meet us quickly. ”
The Taoist priest was stunned, he didn't understand what Yang Yi meant, and he didn't understand who the old Taoist priest in his mouth was. Mingyue next to her was familiar with everything in the Taoist temple, before the entire Taoist temple was only her and the master, and now that it has become like this, she is also very unaccustomed to it, and hurriedly said next to her: "Senior brother, my master respects the dust, and is the master of this Xueyi Temple, where is he now?" ”
After hearing the name Lichen, the young Taoist priest understood, shook his head and said, "Are you looking for that sick old Taoist priest?" He is now housed on the outer side of the temple. ”
"What kind of sick old man?" Jin Ruoxi was also a little strange: "Didn't you understand?" The chief of the Dust Dao was the observer here before, and now we are here to find the viewer! ”
"I don't know if the sick old Taoist is the Lord, anyway, when I came, the Lord was Qingyang Venerable." In terms of the young Taoist's thick eyebrows, he knew that he was an honest man at a glance, and said with a frown: "I have only met that sick old Taoist a few times, and every time I see him, he is saying that he is sick and needs to rest." Therefore, Qingyang Venerable took over the position of the master. ”
Everyone looked at each other, seeing the doubts in each other's eyes. Yang Yi has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows more about these things that are secretly fighting for power and profit, but because he has not yet figured out the situation, it is inconvenient to say more in person, and nodded: "Then thank you Dao Chief, let's go to the sick old Dao first, and come to Shangxiang later." ”
"I don't think I'm sick, I'm pretending." The young Taoist priest said, "But I haven't seen him appear in the past few days, so you should hurry up and take a look!" ”
"Who is this Qingyang Venerable?" Jin Ruoxi frowned and said, "Why did you suddenly take over the position of the viewer?" "You must know that in every temple or Taoist temple, there is only one person in power, and once you become in power, then its status will always be supreme, and there is no possibility of temporary replacement.
"I don't know about this, I've not been here for long." The young Taoist priest replied honestly, "But it is said that the official asked for this." One is because the sick old man doesn't like noisy scenes very much, and the other is that the official says that this is easier to manage. But I don't know the details. ”
Mingyue said: "When did you say that Qingyang Venerable took over the Xueyi Taoist Temple?" ”
"It's been less than two months." The young Taoist priest thought for a while: "I heard that Qingyang Zun comes from a very famous Taoist temple, and has rich experience in the arrangement and management of all things in the Taoist temple, and we are also recruited by Qingyang Zun, I am afraid that there will be more people to join the Xueyi Taoist Temple in the future." ”
He paused, and wanted to add a few words, but another Taoist priest next to him said impatiently: "Why are you talking to them so much?" was known by Qingyang Zun, and he was going to be scolded again! ”
Only then did the young Taoist priest close his mouth and look apologetically at Yang Yi and the others.
"No matter what happens, let's go see the old Taoist priest first!" Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Your master must be very happy to know that you are back, whether it is a real illness or a fake illness, maybe you will be cured all at once." ”
