"Dao Leader don't worry!" Seeing that the old Taoist priest's expression was a little worried, Zhang Meng hurriedly took out the pass left by Lady Na from his pocket, handed it to the old Taoist priest and said: "We are all cadres from Beijing, and this time we entered Kunlun Mountain to investigate the historical relics here. ”

"The Taoist chief is right, the reason why we walked into this Taoist temple is because we found that this Taoist temple has archaeological value."

"Ugh." The old Taoist priest still didn't nod in agreement.

The Kazakh Taoist boy on the side ran out at some point and told the other Taoist priests in the temple everything that happened here. For a while, Hulala, a large group of Kazakh Taoist priests rushed over, and when they saw that Zhang Meng and others were going to stay overnight, their expressions changed to the appearance of old Taoist priests.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Meng, Ye Jiu, Brother Jun and others all glanced at each other in surprise.

"Dao Chief, we are not familiar with the road here for the first time, you also know the climate of Kunlun Mountain, if we have no place to live tonight, a snowstorm may freeze us to death. As a Taoist, although you don't say that hanging pots will help the world, you won't just watch us freeze to death, right? Zhang Meng said slowly.

"Four!" Just when the scene was deadlocked, a Han Taoist priest who was watching came over from the crowd and helped the old Taoist priest explain: "The master's move is for the safety of several donors......

"Is this for our good?" Zhang Meng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately sneered and said: "It's just to stay for one night, and it's not to kill people and set fires, not to mention that we also gave money for incense, and you want to drive us out like this?" Sue you, if this thing gets out, everyone will think that your Taoist temple hides some ulterior secrets, such as abducting a few little girls or something. ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." The Han Taoist priest lowered his head with a somewhat embarrassed expression, as if there was something unspeakable.

Seeing the expression of the Han Taoist priest, Lai Zi frowned, and seemed to have a plan.

He said lightly to the old Taoist priest: "Since this is a jungle temple, as far as I know, anyone who believes in Taoism can live in the jungle temple, right?" If the Taoist leader drives us out like this, is it against the foundation of Taoism? I don't think the Taoist will turn his back on the roots of Taoism, right? ”

"This ......" Hearing Lai Zi's words, the old Taoist priest and the Han Taoist priest looked at each other, as if they didn't expect Lai Zi to know the rules of the jungle temple.

"Jungle Temple, what Jungle Temple?" Seeing that the old Taoist priest seemed to be stopped by Lai Zi's words, the fat man asked babblingly.

"Under normal circumstances, the Taoist temple is divided into two kinds, the first is the exclusive Taoist school passed down from generation to generation by master and apprentice, father and son, which is private property, and Taoist friends of other sects cannot interfere in the temple affairs of their Taoist sects. But the second kind of jungle temple can not be inherited as private property, it belongs to all Taoists in the world, the jungle temple, as long as it is related to the Tao, have the right to live. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhang Meng breathed a long sigh of relief, according to what Lai Zi said, unless the group of Taoist priests in front of him are not true Taoists and do not follow the rules of Taoism, otherwise, the matter of staying overnight tonight should be done.

Hearing Lai Zi's words, the old Taoist's face suddenly darkened.

The Han Taoist priest also took the opportunity to turn around and say something to the old Taoist priest, and the other Taoist priests on the sidelines said a lot of words, but they were all Kazakh, and everyone couldn't understand it.

However, in the end, the old Taoist priest still nodded reluctantly and said: "It's okay for the four donors to stay, but after twelve o'clock in the evening, no matter what you hear, you can't go out!" ”

Seeing that the old Taoist priest agreed to let everyone stay, Zhang Meng, Lai Zi, Ye Jiu, and Brother Jun glanced at each other and asked suspiciously, but they did not explain it in front of the old Taoist priest.

Finally, under the leadership of the Han Taoist priest, he went to live in the backyard.

On the way, Zhang Meng asked Lai Zi curiously: "Brother Lai Zi, where did you know the rules of the Sun and Sun Temple and the Jungle Temple?" ”

Lai Zi smiled faintly: "I'm also hearsay, I didn't expect it to come in handy today." ”

Hearing the conversation between Zhang Meng and Lai Zi, the Han Taoist priest who led the way said thoughtfully: "I think this donor has a lot to do with my Taoism. ”

"I forgot, I had to thank the Taoist chief for his help just now." Seeing that the Han Taoist priest was very kind, Zhang Meng hurriedly took out a few pieces of paper and pen from his clothes, secretly stuffed them into the hands of the Han Taoist priest, and said, "If we can stay overnight, we will suffer less." Since we have a relationship with Guiguan, these incense money will be helped by Lao Daochang......"

Based on Zhang Meng's knowledge, although Taoism pays attention to purity and inaction, but in this place where birds don't, money is still very important, otherwise the old Taoist priest will not be cheeky to ask for incense money when he enters the view.

"No, no, no." The Han Taoist priest hurriedly waved his hand, but he did not refuse strongly, but explained to the old Taoist priest: "It's not that the master is ruthless, it's really that our Taoist temple is a little weird. ”

"What's weird?" Zhang Meng's eyes lit up and he took the opportunity to ask.

"This ......" The Han Taoist priest could only say haha when he saw that he had missed his mouth, "In short, it is some unspeakable secrets, and it is inconvenient to talk to the four donors." ”

Seeing that the Taoist temple was deliberately avoiding talking about this aspect from the beginning, Lai Zi seemed to have guessed something, he did not force him to ask, but changed the topic and said: "I don't know, your temple is dedicated to the Queen Mother?" ”

"The donor is right." The Han Taoist priest hurriedly nodded and said, "Our Niangniang Temple is dedicated to the Quanzhen Dao Patriarch Kunlun Queen Mother. ”

"The Queen Mother is also a true sect?" Zhang Meng was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but think of the Qiu Chuji of the Baiyun Immortal Palace, wasn't Qiu Chuji the real person in charge of the Quanzhen Sect back then? In this way, it confirms the inextricable relationship between this Taoist temple and the Baiyun Immortal Palace.

"Yes, I heard from the old people in the Taoist temple that this Taoist temple began to worship the Queen Mother of the West a long, long time ago......" said the Han Taoist priest.

"But didn't the previous viewer say that the incense was only used during the Yuan Dynasty?" Zhang Meng asked.

"No, I heard that before the Song and Yuan dynasties, this Taoist temple enshrined a queen mother." The Han Taoist priest said.

"Offered before?" Lai Zi's eyes moved slightly, and he asked the Han Taoist priest: "But as far as I know, the Queen Mother of the West should have been included in the Taoist god system as an ancient ancestor god since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also after many years of worship that she became the immortal god of Taoism." The predecessor of this Taoist temple should be the site of the pre-Qin period, how could it be enshrined in the pre-Qin period? ”

"According to Taoist records, this donor is right." The Han Taoist priest smiled with interest: "However, has this benefactor ever heard of the Western Queen Mother Country?" ”
