Chapter 143: The Taoist Temple Settled
When Sha Li got up early to say goodbye to his parents the next day, the second elder didn't expect Sha Li to leave in such a hurry, and repeatedly wanted to stay longer, Sha Li had to explain that this mission was strictly arranged, and everyone couldn't be delayed because of themselves.

Mrs. Meng looked at Sha Li with tears in her eyes, full of reluctance. Master Meng sighed and said, "I still want you to rest at home for a few more days, I'm afraid that you will be noisy, and your mother is not going to let the children come over these days." ”
"Daddy's meaning Jing'er understands it in her heart, but this task can't be delayed, and coming out means the mountain gate, my daughter doesn't want to embarrass the mountain gate, and I can't let the senior brothers and sisters see my jokes and say that I haven't grown up." Sha Li patted Mrs. Meng's hand and comforted.
Mrs. Meng wiped her tears: "Mother understands, but Mother is reluctant to let you go, you said that you immortals fly around every day to kill demons and demons, I don't know when I will see you again." ”
"My daughter is older, and she has to think about the common people in the world, which is a good thing." Old Man Meng said to Mrs. Meng.
Sha Li smiled: "Yes, my daughter is amazing now!" Don't worry, I'll come back to see you again. ”
"Jing'er, pay more attention outside." Meng Lin came out with Chu Ci holding the child to see him off.
"Yes, brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, when I have time, I will send a letter back to Xian Town, and let Senior Brother Jiang of Cunshan Hall transfer it to my brother." Shali said.
After the family sent each other for a while, Shali waved his hand and turned to walk towards the outside of the town.
The other disciples had already arrived outside the town, and when everyone had arrived, they flew away together.
Stopping and stopping all the way, Sha Li finally got to know all the senior brothers and sisters here, plus herself, a total of twelve people, seven male disciples and five female disciples. Sha Li is easy to approach and self-cooked, and she has become familiar with her brothers and sisters in the past few days, and she talks and laughs together.
"Second son, we've been walking for three days, how long will it take to get there?" It was Senior Brother Li, who looked generous, who spoke.
"It's about a day or two away." Luo Yuyan said.
Qin Mianzhong proposed: "Not far ahead is Shangyong City, everyone hold on a little longer, and settle down in Shangyong City today." ”
In the past few days, passing through many towns, everyone is not in a hurry to go to Guixu Island, along the way is also stop-and-go, when encountering a big town, stop to rest, look at the customs, everyone has changed into ordinary clothes, convenient for travel.
Lou Qingxiao has traveled a lot, knows many places well, and while telling the strange things when he first traveled, he took everyone to find food in the city. After a few days, the most popular in the team was Lou Qingxiao.
"Radish strips, have you been to this Shangyong City?" Shali asked.
Lou Qingxiao said: "This Shangyong City should be the largest city between us and Guixu Island, Shangyong is also an old city with a long history, there have been many literati, and it is a place where everyone advocates elegance. I've heard of this city for a long time, but I'm not very familiar with it. ”
"If Senior Brother Lou hasn't been here, it seems that we can only find food by ourselves." A senior brother Zhao who looked thinner said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Zhao, there are many surprises to find delicious food, and it is good to try more." Lou Qingxiao said seriously.
Sha Li looked at Luo Yuyan and Qin Mianzhong: "Are we going to settle in Shangyong City today, or are we going to find another place?" ”
Luo Yuyan and Qin Mianzhong were afraid that this group of people would be too conspicuous, not only did they change their clothes, but they generally did not settle in the city. The eyes of the two fell on Lou Qingxiao, who knew Shangyong City best here.
Lou Qingxiao thought for a while and said, "I remember that there is a Taoist temple outside Shangyong City, why don't you choose there?" ”
"It's so good, it's all low-key." Luo Yuyan agreed.
Rushed to the outside of Shangyong City, it was already afternoon. The crowd landed in the mountains and walked towards the Taoist temple in the shade of the pine forest.
In the afternoon, the Taoist temple is smeared with orange and yellow, and from time to time there are good men and women waiting for the mountain to pay homage, they step on the stone steps in the mountain, and follow the sparse crowd to go up.
The Taoist temple is not small, the incense is continuous, at a glance you know that it is a big view, and the people in Shangyong City will come to the pillar incense every festival. Everyone walked into the main hall, and judging from the display everywhere, the offerings were very fine. As soon as they stepped in, the sharp-eyed little Taoist ran through the back door to inform the Taoist chief of the Taoist temple.
More than a dozen people simply bowed to Taoist Tianzun and exited the main hall, the backyard should be the resting place of the Taoist chief and these little Taoist children, and after a cursory glance, there were dozens of rooms.
Daoist Wu of the Taoist Temple hurriedly came with his clothes on the hem, listening to the description of Xiao Daotong, although more than a dozen people were dressed plainly but had an extraordinary bearing, they were not the sons and young masters in Shangyong City, and they should also be dignitaries and dignitaries who played somewhere. This Taoist temple has been dealing with officials all the year round, and he, the Taoist leader, cannot be neglected.
This Taoist temple is stained with the word "Tao", but in the final analysis, it still belongs to the scope of imperial power.
Daochang Wu rushed from the side door of the backyard, followed by two young Taoist children who looked smart and smart. Turning around the porch, I saw more than ten people gathered on the platform outside the main hall, as if they were looking at this Taoist temple.
Daoist Wu was slightly stunned, this group of people looked different from the Wangsun Guixuan he saw on weekdays, and the Daoist who had read countless people could see at a glance that these people did not have much worldly energy, and he was even more shocked in his heart, could it be that this time he bumped into the immortal elders of the cultivator world?
Thinking in his heart, but his feet don't stop, if it is really the immortal elders of the cultivator world, they must be hospitable.
The disciples of the mountain gate heard the footsteps, and saw Wu Daochang walking quickly, the upper layer of the Taoist robe he was wearing, and the cloth shoes on his feet were all white-soled, clean and dusty, the whole person was ruddy, and his eyes were full of thought, so he didn't have to think that he must be the most responsible person here.
Luo Yuyan walked towards the Dao Chief, who looked no more than forty or fifty years old, his complexion was just right, and his whole body looked simple and unpretentious, but the materials used for the clothes, the embroidery workers in the corners, and the clean white-soled shoes were all revealing this person's privileged life, but I was afraid that half of the incense money would go into his pocket.
And the Taoist chief also looked at Luo Yuyan who came out of the crowd at this time, and his heart was even more shocked. He has seen people who come to worship incense in his life, and there are many relatives of the emperor, but none of them can compare with the nobility of the person in front of him, as if there is a kind of self-imposed coercion, and he can't raise his head in front of him at all. The little boy behind the Taoist chief looked down at his toes, and he didn't dare to come out.
The disciples of the mountain gate knew that Luo Yuyan's bearing was very incomparable, and at this moment, in order to take the lead, he released a faint coercion, which was insignificant to the cultivator, but if he was an ordinary person, he would not dare to play tricks. To be able to sit on such a grand view of the Taoist, the vision and experience are naturally high, and it will be necessary to give some pressure first, and it will save more trouble later.
The Dao Leader was used to seeing nobles in his life, but he had never come into contact with cultivators, and he looked at other people calmly, and he was even more sure that these people were extraordinary.
Daoist Wu rushed over, and began to bow down and worship ten steps away, and the little boy who followed behind him saw that Daochang made such a big salute, and immediately leaned over and bowed like Daochang.
"Poor Dao Wu Zhiyuan, I have seen a few nobles, dare to ask a few nobles to come to Guanzhong, but there is anything that needs to be served by Poor Dao." Wu Daochang directly put his posture to the lowest, and he had to win favor first.
Luo Yuyan replied lightly and said, "Don't hide it, we are disciples of the Mountain Gate, and we are in a hurry to pass by your place and want to spend the night." ”
When Wu Daochang heard that it was someone from the mountain gate, he was stunned, he stared at everyone and wanted to speak, but it seemed that something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it for a while. Seeing this, the two little Taoist boys hurriedly stepped forward to help the master pat his back, and Daochang Wu was relieved. Immediately leaned down and bowed again, this time wanting to bang his head on the ground.
On the other hand, the disciples of the mountain gate are not surprised, when the mountain gate was first seen, some people bowed to them and were still a little uncomfortable, and they did not know that the reputation of the mountain gate was so great in the mountains for a long time, but they could go far and see more, so they felt the longing and awe of ordinary people for the mountain gate. I can't help but feel a sense of pride and pride in my heart.
Wu Daochang hurriedly said: "It's rude, it's rude, poor Dao has wanted to cultivate immortals since he was a child, but unfortunately he doesn't have that fate, I'm too excited to see all the immortals today, and I hope that the immortals will forgive their sins." ”
"It's okay, Daoist Wu is polite." Luo Yuyan said lightly, but it stopped in Daochang Wu's ears like a Hong Zhong, "If there is still a spare room in this Taoist temple, please ask Daoist to ......."
"Yes, yes!" Wu Daochang was afraid that this group of immortal elders would leave, so he immediately agreed, turned his head to the little Taoist boy beside him and said, "You two hurry up and inform the others, and immediately vacate a dozen first-class rooms for the immortal elders to stay." ”
The two little Taoist boys nodded, and ran away, seeing that Sha Li and several female disciples couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'm not very sensible yet, so forgive me. I have already sent them to prepare, more than a dozen upper rooms still need to be cleaned for a while, why don't the immortal elders go with me to rest in the small hall in the backyard first, and taste the green tea produced in our Shangyong City. Wu Daochang said enthusiastically.
With Luo Yuyan's approval, the group walked to the porch with Wu Daochang, who was the leader. Shali looked around, this Taoist temple is really not small, in addition to the largest hall, and the backyard for Taoist children to rest and live, there are two side halls on the left and right. Wu Daochang walked in front and simply said that this Taoist temple has a history of hundreds of years, Shangyong City has produced a lot of champions and literati, have worshiped here, so the Taoist temple is famous, the incense has been continuous for a hundred years, and it is also bigger and bigger.
Wu Daochang was really too enthusiastic, and he was telling the history of this place almost all the way, including the fact that some relatives of the emperor came here not long ago to ask for worship, and Luo Yu walked without squinting, and did not interrupt Wu Daochang.
"How many immortals have come to this Shangyong City to play? Or is it a demon slaying demon? After talking for a long time, Daoist Wu asked tentatively.
Luo Yu glanced at it, and became a little wary of this Wu Daochang. Wu Daochang felt Luo Yuyan's slightly dissatisfied eyes, and quickly silenced.
"It's better not to ask more than you shouldn't." Qin Mian on the other side said in a loud voice.
"The immortal elders misunderstood, the poor Dao talked a lot......" Wu Daochang looked at the two of them, this group of people can't afford to mess with themselves, some things should be found to find time to talk about another matter. (To be continued.) )
