Chapter 229, Strange Taoism

This "Xuanzhen Temple" is said to be a Taoist temple, in fact, it is no different from the ordinary people in Jiangnan City, but the hall is not the kind of flower hall, but there is a table table, on which some gods are enshrined, as if there are three white-bearded old men.

Xiaofeng has been to many temples, these temples have the four King Kongs, just enter the door and there is a big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, there are many Buddha statues such as the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, etc., how solemn it is. However, it is true that Xiaofeng has not been to the Taoist temple, and this Taoist temple is even more shabby, surprisingly mini.

There is still incense on the incense burner on the table, Xiaofeng calculated, today is the first day of the lunar calendar. He still knows the truth of burning incense on the fifteenth day of the first month.

When he looked up, the crescent moon was almost gone.

It is now the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and in two weeks, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of August.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival and a traditional Valentine's Day. But where did my lover go?

Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh, feeling that his future was confused.

This sigh actually attracted one of the people inside.

This is a long, slender man, who looks very handsome, but he is a little older, about forty years old. However, it can be seen that this man must have been a handsome guy when he was young. He was dressed in the most ordinary of ordinary clothes. But the strange thing is that this man actually has long hair on his head and a hairpin, just like a Taoist priest.

"This little brother, is he here to offer incense?" The man who looked like a Taoist priest looked at Xiaofeng and said.

His gaze is bright, and it looks like it is shining at night, a special spirit.

Looking at the skin on his face again, it is really smooth and almost oily, it looks like the skin of a teenager, a bit of a rejuvenated look, I don't know how to maintain it?

"You're a Taoist priest here, right?" Xiaofeng asked.

"yes." The man nodded.

"Oh, why aren't you wearing a robe?" Xiaofeng was a little surprised.

"Oh, this robe we only wear for major ceremonies. I am also an ordinary person, I go to work in the morning and return to this temple in the evening to practice. ”

"What? Are you an amateur Taoist? Xiaofeng was stunned.

Are there any amateurs for monks and Taoists? It's incredible!

"Hehe, sort of, we are usually ordinary people, just like you, nothing special. Oh, little brother, you're here to incense, aren't you? ”

"No, it's not." Xiaofeng shook his head, "I was just passing by, playing soy sauce." ”

"Ha Lu Ha." The Taoist priest was very cheerful, "Okay, then you are welcome to visit us." Come, distinguished guests, please come with me. ”

Unexpectedly, not only did they not blow Xiaofeng out, but they also welcomed him in so warmly, Xiaofeng was very surprised.

He didn't think about it, so he followed the amateur Taoist priest in.

Unexpectedly, behind this seemingly narrow hall, through a corridor, what was actually presented in front of Xiao Feng was a unique place.

I saw that it was actually a very large garden, rockery, pond, willow trees, pavilions, everything.

In the middle of the garden, there is also a large house with red bricks and green tiles.

"Ah, it's that big?" Xiaofeng was surprised.

"yes." The Taoist priest said, "Since you have a chance to come here today, please come with me and meet my master." ”

As he spoke, he led Xiaofeng into the big house in the middle.

When Xiaofeng approached the house, he was taken aback.

I saw that in this room, except for a few big ** and a large table, and a big picture of "quiet and inaction" hanging on the wall, there was nothing.

Such a large room, enough to accommodate more than a dozen people, has never been renovated. Emptiness, except emptiness is emptiness.

He looked again, and in the corner on the left, there was a man sitting on **, with his back to him.

"Master, your distinguished guest is here." The Taoist priest walked over respectfully.

"Okay." As he spoke, the man with his back to Xiaofeng turned his head.

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Feng, who was taken aback again.

"How are you?" Xiao Feng's eyes widened.

It turned out that this man was the middle-aged man who asked Xiaofeng where the old man Wu was by the Jingshui River that day, and his skin was still so dark.

Xiao Feng turned his head to look at the Taoist priest again.

"He's your master?" Xiaofeng asked in surprise.

"yes." The Taoist priest nodded.

"No, you two look about the same age, huh? How could he be your master? ”

"Hahaha!" The dark-skinned man smiled, "What, does the master have to be much older than the apprentice?" I'm only a year older than him, but I'm still his master. ”

Xiao Fengzai looked at the dark-skinned man carefully, "Are you also a Taoist priest?" ”

Isn't that right? Where is this Taoist priest? You don't have a Taoist robe on your body, and you don't have long hair on your head, how can you be a Taoist priest?

"What, don't I look like it?" The man also looked up and down at his body, "What don't I look like a Taoist priest at all?" ”

"You don't look like a Taoist priest at all." Xiao Feng shook his head, "You are dressed like an ordinary person, how can you be a Taoist priest?" ”

"Huh." The man smiled, "Who told you that Taoist priests have to be different from others?" ”

"Look at your apprentice, at least he still has his hair coiled on his head and a hairpin. What about you, why don't you have your hair? Don't all Taoist priests have to keep their hair? ”

The man touched his head and smiled, "I still have hair, huh?" I'm not bald. ”

"If you are bald, you are not a Taoist, then you will not become a monk?" Xiaofeng also smiled.

"Oh, Long Qing, you go down first, I'll have a good talk with this little brother." The man waved his hand to the amateur Taoist priest named "Long Qing".

"Yes, master." Long Qing made a gesture and retreated respectfully.

It seems that this apprentice is really respectful to the master, although the apprentice is only one year younger than the master.

In Xiao Feng's original imagination, this Long Qing, the master of the Taoist priest in his forties, should be an old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, and a crane hair and a childish face, oh, just like the three white-bearded old men enshrined outside.

The statues of the three white-bearded old men are actually the three Qings in Taoism, Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun and Lingbao Daojun.

However, Xiao Feng didn't know this, he just felt very puzzled by everything he saw.

"Come, please be seated." The man motioned for Xiaofeng to sit down on the other ** beside him.

Xiao Feng sat down with doubts and looked at the man, but he was still surprised.

"Come, tea." There was a coffee table next to this man, but it was covered by his back just now, maybe he was sitting on the ** drinking tea.

Xiaofeng also happily took the tea brought by the man and drank it.

But as soon as he drank it, Xiaofeng regretted it.

Who is this man? How can you be so hospitable to yourself, is there something wrong with it?

You can't drink strangers' things, but you still drink it yourself, it's really greedy.

The man also seemed to see the doubts in Xiao Feng's eyes, and smiled, "Little brother, we seem to know each other before, right??" ”

"Yes, didn't you see me that day by the still water river? Do you remember? ”

"Of course I do." The man smiled, "I wasn't looking for Wu Liang that day, Senior Wu, I just happened to meet you." I really didn't expect to meet you here again, counting it, we are really fateful. ”

"Senior Wu, is he your senior? Do you know him too? Xiaofeng asked.

"Yes, Senior Wu is the old-timer of our Cloud Gate Daoist." The man smiled.

"Cloud Gate Taoist?" Xiaofeng was even more confused.

"Well, in our Yunmen Dao family, Wu Lao is my uncle. Of course, he is not my uncle, but in terms of seniority, he is also my uncle. ”

"Oh, I see. Then you went to him that day, was there something wrong? Xiaofeng asked.

"Well, keep it a secret for the time being." The man said mysteriously.

"If you don't say it, forget it, by the way, what do you call it?"

"Oh, the poor road is called Tongmingzi. However, you still call me by the name on my ID card, my name is Tang Banshan. ”

"Tang Banshan? Oh, yes, this name is good, half the mountain is yours? Ha Lu Ha! "Little wind is happy.

"Awards, awards." Tang Banshan was happy, "This name is just a symbol, it doesn't mean much." My apprentice, his common name is Long Tianqing, the Taoist name, I will directly call him Long Qing, and change the cyan green in his name to pure Qing, which is also in line with the meaning of our Taoist emphasis on purity and inaction. I don't know what do you call this little brother? ”

"My name is Lu Xiaofeng, the land of the land, the size is small, and the wind is the wind that blows in the sky."

"Lu Xiaofeng?" This Tang Banshan, that is, Tongmingzi, pondered for a moment, "This name is not bad." "What, have you seen that Uncle Wu later? He didn't mention my name to you, did he? Xiaofeng asked.

"I've seen it, I've seen it, but I really haven't heard him talk about you." Tang Banshan shook his head.

"Oh, that's right." Xiaofeng was a little disappointed.

However, how could Uncle Wu mention his name? I'm not a big person, just a small deflated three.

"But, Xiaofeng, today I know that you are coming, and I have been waiting here for a long time." Tang Banshan smiled slightly.

"What? Do you know I'm coming? Xiaofeng was stunned.

How do you know I'm coming? I stumbled into you by accident.

Are you waiting for the wrong person???????
