Chapter 1: Descending the Mountain
Fuyun Mountain, with an altitude of 1,000 meters, is located at the junction of the two provinces, named after the cumulus clouds on the mountainside and the sea of clouds, but there are many mountains in this area, which can only be regarded as a small scenic spot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A modern imitation of the medieval Taoist temple is built on the mountainside, located on the mountainside, a straight asphalt road at the door, and four gilded characters on the plaque - Fuyun Mountain Taoist Hall.
But there were few people at the door, and a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest in his fifties saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, squatting on the mahogany bench next to Daode Tianzun, flipping through the account book in distraction.
This man tied his hair in a bun, pinned a wooden hairpin, and left a horn whisker on his chin, it was Zhou Haisheng, the founder of the Fuyun Mountain Taoist Temple, who called himself a Cangsong Taoist.
Zhou Haisheng is not a Taoist, but a developer, ten years ago did business to make a little money, he originally wanted to make a small villa on the top of the mountain, but after the land was bought, the relevant departments were not allowed to build villas in the scenic spot without permission, so they could only be made into a Taoist temple in disguise.
The Taoist temple covers an area of 800 square meters, and the relevant local units also specially allocated a piece of land for the construction of the local scenic spot.
Zhou Haisheng looked at the expenses outlined by the red pen, water, electricity, food, and labor costs together, saying five numbers less, and then turning a few pages, there were few income items in the account book, and his brows became deeper and deeper after a while.
In recent years, the business is not as good as a year, and now it is popular to travel abroad, the flow of tourists has plummeted, and the reputation of Fuyun Mountain is not obvious, so there is no one to see when the meal is held at noon.
Zhou Haisheng remembered that when he was selling vegetables this morning, he saw several tourist buses, and immediately took out a five-inch smart phone and dialed a number: "Hey, is it Lao Liu?" Aren't there guests in the mountains today? Why is there no one in the morning? ”
There was a moment of hesitation on the other side of the microphone.
"That's right, I did receive a group of students from the county middle school today, but today is a service, and the teachers have taken the students to the church to play."
"Where do they eat at noon?"
"Yes, it's free." A sentence was added at the end of the microphone.
When Zhou Haisheng heard this, the fire was up, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and the mobile phone display screen was pinched out with a series of pound keys by his thumb, and it was this gang of Catholics again!
Since the construction of a church three years ago, believers have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and everyone is rushing to the church, and the Taoist temple is getting deserted year by year.
Fawn over foreign things! Zhou Haisheng was angry.
The place where the Taoist Temple of Fuyun Mountain eats is in the west wing, a large long table made of ebony, which can accommodate more than 20 people to eat at the same time, and there are four or five plates on the table, which are filled with some soy products, which only occupy a small corner of the long table.
There were three teenagers around the plate, the oldest was only eleven years old, and the most striking thing was Xu Fei, who was a head taller than the other children, and the other children were moving around on the stool, but Xu Fei sat quietly on the side, looking at his nose and nose, looking at his heart, looking immovable.
Xu Fei has actually been hungry for a long time, since he crossed over and came here, not only has his body grown taller, but even his appetite has become very big, like this kind of small bowl commonly used by children, that is, a matter of a few bites.
"Senior brother, how long do you think we have to wait for dinner?" A child asked Xu Fei.
"It's coming, it's coming, the master will be here soon." Xu Fei is the senior brother of these children, as soon as the Taoist temple was built, the master adopted him back in the hospital, and the local news media reported this incident at that time, which made the Taoist temple's business boom for a while.
For ten years, he got up early every day to meditate, went to school during the day, and ran with the Taoist priests of the Taoist temple at night.
This world is different from before, although there are also Chinese countries, but it is not called China, but Huaxia, the shape is just similar, the race and skin color are the same, but the words are a little different.
Zhou Haisheng walked in from the door, except for a few little guys, he could smell a smell of gunpowder.
Zhou Haisheng sat in the center, glanced at the people present, seemed to see a black hole that filled the dissatisfaction, and suddenly paid attention to it, turned his head and ordered the old Taoist priest standing straight on the side, "Elder Zhang, let's eat!" ”。
The old Taoist priest's surname is Zhang, and he is the oldest of the two Taoist priests who came to admire him, but he is also the most Taoist temperament in this Taoist temple, and it is Zhang Lao who taught Xu Fei to meditate, and it is Zhang Lao who leads a group of children to run long distances at night.
Xu Fei saw Zhang Lao holding a large porcelain bowl to serve food to a table of people, and also got up to help, I don't know why, after he came to this world, the reason why his size soared seemed to be related to the meditation taught by Zhang Lao, every morning when he meditated, there would always be a subtle warm current in his body, but Xu Fei was not sure, after all, he was also meditating, and he was the only one who grew taller.
Zhou Haisheng looked at Xu Fei, who stood up nearly one meter seven, and was stunned for a moment, and then thought thoughtfully.
Xu Fei gently rested the porcelain bowl filled with white rice on the table to avoid making a sound, which is the rule of the Taoist temple, and when eating, you can't make too much noise.
Xu Fei eats very quietly, but at the same time the speed is also very fast, in order to be afraid that there will not be enough food, he always eats three bites of food in one mouth, which is ten years of kung fu practiced in the Taoist temple.
It wasn't until the sixth bowl that Xu Fei filled his stomach a little, mainly because the dishes had no oil and water, so he was not full.
Zhang Lao packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to brush the dishes, Xu Fei was about to follow, Zhou Haisheng suddenly stopped him,
"Xiaofei, have you eaten enough? If it's not enough, I'll let Zhang Lao order some noodles, now is the time for you to grow your body, eat more! ”
Xu Fei sat on the stool, and the other children had already run out to play, and only Xu Fei and Zhou Haisheng were left in the room.
"Daoist Zhou, I'm already full." Xu Fei replied, waiting for Zhou Haisheng to follow.
"You...... Do you want to go to junior high school in the prefecture? Zhou Haisheng asked Xu Fei with a smile on his face.
"No, I want to follow Daochang Zhou and Daochang Zhang!"
This is the truth in Xu Fei's heart, if it weren't for Zhou Daochang's ten years of raising, he would have starved to death, and Xu Fei would have regarded Zhou Haisheng as his father in his heart.
And Zhang Daochang's meditation method is only half learned, and the previous ones are all laying the foundation, and the most critical breathing method and body regulation method have not been learned, so he doesn't want to go down the mountain to go to the county to study in junior high school.
"Now that you have grown up, you have gone to the outside world to take a look, you can't learn anything in the mountains, how will you find a good job in the future, how will you find a good wife?" Zhou Haisheng also saw Xu Fei's precociousness, so he would say this, and if he was a child else, he would undoubtedly play the piano to the cow.
"Okay, it's you who said it, school starts in September, you take Uncle Liu's car down the mountain to the county, study hard when the time comes, strive to be admitted to a good university, find a good job, be a pillar in the society, and can't drag down the society!" Zhou Haisheng said earnestly.
The word drag is uncomfortable to hear, Xu Fei knows that his food alone is on top of five or six people, since the words are preached to this point, he finally nodded, "I will study hard!" ”
