Chapter 66: Descend the mountain and meditate
After the Hongtian left, the Chengdao Temple returned to its former tranquility.
Zhang Cheng silently cultivated, ready for the upcoming task.
Time always passes inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, 20 days have passed in a month.
In the past 20 days, Zhang Cheng's cultivation has not made great progress.
Zhang Cheng: "I'm really not a genius, it's not so easy to break through by refining qi and transforming gods." β
As time became shorter and shorter, Zhang Cheng's cultivation could not break through. Zhang Cheng's originally quiet and peaceful state of mind also felt irritable.
System: "Host, blind penance will not have much results, and your state of mind is not very stable, I suggest you go and experience the red dust." β
Zhang Cheng: "Also, I'm in an uncertain state of mind right now, and forcibly cultivating will damage myself. Let's go down the mountain and have a look, maybe you can get some catch. β
Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng walked out of the room.
Tengyun in the utility room found Zhang Cheng as soon as possible.
Zhang Cheng walked over and touched Tengyun's bull's head: "Tengyun, I'm going to leave for a few days, I'll prepare your food for you, go eat it when you're hungry." β
Tengyun licked Zhang Cheng's hand, indicating that he knew.
At this time, Hum also ran out of the room, it turned out that it was lying next to Zhang Cheng just now, and when he saw Zhang Cheng coming out, Hum also ran out on its little short legs.
Zhang Chengyi hugged him: "What am I going to do with you guy?" Why don't you eat something raw with Tengyun? β
Zhang Cheng hummed and said with a smile.
Hum shouted: "Humph, hum." β
Zhang Cheng: "Okay, okay, I know that you won't eat raw, I just teased you." β
Hum stopped screaming and looked at Zhang Cheng with doubts in his eyes.
Zhang Cheng: "Okay, let me tell you, I've been in an unstable mood lately, and I'm not suitable for cultivation, I want to go down the mountain to see if I can calm down my state of mind." β
Tengyun: "Moo. β
Zhang Cheng: "Don't worry, I will be back in three days at most." β
Hmph: "Hmph." β
Zhang Cheng: "Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine, with my current ability, I won't die if I don't die." β
Zhang Cheng: "Okay, prepare food for the two of you, and keep your pets by yourself." β
Zhang Cheng came to the kitchen and first steamed the food for three days with spiritual rice.
Some salt and other seasonings are also added to the lingmi to make it more comfortable for Hum to eat.
Then I came to the paddy fields in the back mountain and cut some stalks of spiritual rice. These things are for Tengyun to eat.
Because Tengyun and Hum are now extremely low in cultivation, the demand for spiritual objects is not strong, and Zhang Cheng has not prepared many things at will.
After making all the preparations, Zhang Cheng came to the utility room again.
Zhang Cheng: "Hmph, Tengyun, in the past few days since I left, you have to take good care of Chengdao Temple." This is our home. β
Tengyun: "Moo. β
Hmph: "Hmph." β
Zhang Cheng: "Okay, then I'll go." β
Zhang Cheng descended from the Chengdao Temple, Tengyun and Hum stood at the door of the Chengdao Temple, watching Zhang Cheng until they couldn't see Zhang Cheng's back.
At the foot of Feiyun Mountain, Zhang Cheng: "I came here for the Hongchen experience, not for gains and losses, but to see the chance." β
So, Zhang Cheng followed the highway of Feiyun Mountain and walked forward.
Zhang Cheng naturally doesn't walk on the highway, there are still some vehicles coming and going on the highway, and with Zhang Cheng's speed, it's not good to scare others.
After three hours of travel, Zhang Cheng's eyes can already see some buildings from afar.
Zhang Cheng took out his mobile phone: "Is it a city?" I've only heard of this place before, but I've never been here, so this is the first time I've been here. β
Zhang Cheng took off the haste charm on his leg, and walked from the mountains and forests to DY City step by step.
As the saying goes, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and it took Zhang Cheng more than an hour to really enter DY City.
DY City, a fourth-tier city, is not big but not small, with a permanent population of nearly 1 million.
Zhang Cheng walked into DY City step by step, it was noon at this time, and the scorching sun was shining on the earth, baking the whole city.
If it was an ordinary person, walking on the street for half an hour, he would already be sweating profusely, but at this time, Zhang Cheng's mana lingered under the skin of his body, and the temperature of the sun could no longer make Zhang Cheng sweat.
Although there are not many people on the street, there are many people, but most of them are moving fast and want to go home as soon as possible.
Occasionally, a few people would take a look at Zhang Cheng who was walking forward in a Taoist robe.
But no one came up to ask for anything, because over the years, Taoist priests and monks have talked to you and asked you for money.
People don't like this kind of behavior very much in their hearts, and it is relatively rare to take the initiative to talk to Taoist priests and monks.
Zhang Cheng: "I was afraid that Taoist priests or monks would come to me and ask me to donate money and get money." Now as a Taoist priest, how can it feel weird. β
At noon, Zhang Cheng was also hungry, so he casually found a noodle restaurant and went in to eat noodles.
As a person from the province where rice and noodles are eaten, Zhang Cheng has not eaten noodles for a while, and he also misses noodles a little.
The uncle of the noodle shop saw a Taoist priest walking in, and was a little puzzled: "Taoist priest, do you want to eat noodles?" We don't have any money. β
Zhang Cheng: "Boss, 3 taels of shredded noodles." β
Uncle: "Really just eating noodles?" β
Zhang Cheng: "Yes, boss, I don't want money." β
Boss: "It's good if you don't want money, a few monks came here this year and asked me for money." β
Then the boss shouted to the kitchen: "Three taels of shredded meat noodles." β
The noodle shop is very well decorated, and the kitchen is separated by a glass door, so you can see what is going on in the kitchen at a glance.
Uncle did this to reassure diners about the hygiene of their store.
Zhang Cheng found a table, sat down, and quietly looked at the noodle restaurant.
The uncle spoke at this time: "Are you really a Taoist?" Recently, there have been a lot of fake Taoist priests and fake monks. β
Zhang Cheng: "If there is a Tao in your heart, you are naturally a Taoist, if there is no Tao in your heart, what can you do with the identity of a Taoist." β
Uncle: "What you said is right, dare to ask where the Taoist monk is a monk?" β
Zhang Cheng: "Feiyun Mountain Chengdao Temple. β
Uncle: "Feiyun Mountain Chengdao Temple? Haven't heard of it. Forget it, I don't know much about Daomen, so I know Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain. I didn't bother to ask about the rest. β
Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "These two places are famous mountains of Daomen, and they can be regarded as the faΓ§ade of my Daomen." β
Uncle: "By the way, why don't you go to these two places when you are a monk?" Can a Taoist temple in a small place support itself? β
Zhang Cheng: "Without him, fate is there." β
Uncle: "You monks just like to say inexplicable things. All I know is that when you're hungry, you need money to buy food. β
Zhang Cheng: "What the boss said is reasonable. β
The boss was stunned: "Hey, I'm talking about you." β
Zhang Cheng: "But what you said does have some truth in the boss. β
Boss: "You're a Taoist priest, it's a bit weird." β
Zhang Cheng: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." β
Zhang Cheng and the boss have completely different cognitions, so the two have completely different views on things.
Boss: "Aren't you monks tired of reciting these slogans every day?" β
Zhang Cheng didn't know how to answer his uncle's question, so he could only be speechless.
At this time, two more diners came into the noodle restaurant, a man and a woman, in their 20s, holding hands, looking like a couple.
When the couple came in, they found Zhang Cheng talking to the boss.
The woman pointed at Zhang Cheng: "There is a Taoist priest, I have never seen a real Taoist priest." β
Man: "Taoist priest, do we have a Taoist temple near here?" Also, Xiaoyu, don't talk to others, it's very rude. β
Woman: "I'll just mean it, and I'll take it back right away." But do Taoist priests also eat, aren't they all eating and drinking? β
Man: "Taoist priests are also people, how can they not eat." However, it is really rare for a Taoist priest to go to a restaurant. β
The woman suddenly thought of something: "Zhimo, why don't we take a picture with him, and then send it to my circle of friends, I finally met a Taoist priest." β
