In the Taoist temple, there is no figure, and it looks very deep and quiet.

There is a faint smell of incense in it, which seems to make people feel a little relaxed, and once you enter here, you seem to feel the quiet breath, which calms people's minds.

Li Changsheng walked slowly towards the main hall.

Inside the main hall, quietly, the statue of the god inside, majestic, grand, eyes staring ahead, as if the eternal unchanged, the breath of old people, from the statue of the god emanated, melodious.

The statue of Sanqing is enshrined in the middle of the main hall, and on both sides, are the rest of the immortal gods enshrined.

Although this Taoist temple is secluded and small, the gods are also very complete.

Li Changsheng picked up three incense sticks from the table with incense outside the door, lit them, worshiped outside, and then inserted them into the incense burner in the middle outside the temple gate.

In the temple, there is usually a free supply of incense, and each person is limited to three pillars.

Of course, there is also an incense burner in the main hall, and incense is also burned, but outsiders cannot insert incense into the incense burner in this hall, but only in the incense burner outside.

There are still rules, and Li Changsheng naturally knows them.

He is a Taoist priest, but he does not wear a Taoist robe, and he wants to offer incense in this hall, lest the master of this Taoist temple disagree.

Li Changsheng walked into the main hall, looked up at the three bronze statues of the Three Qing Gods, took a deep breath, and stood there quietly.

The faint and ancient atmosphere seems to be wafting in the air, and the statue seems to be rusty because of some age.

In such a small Taoist temple, the incense has already withered, and there are even fewer good men and women, and it is unlikely that the viewer will have extra money to repair the statue.

Ke Xin didn't enter the main hall with Li Changsheng, just stood outside the door and watched.

The statues of the gods in this Taoist temple, except for the statues of the three Qing gods in the right, and the kind eyebrows and good eyes, the statues on both sides are quite stylish, and they seem to be some fierce and evil. She is a girl's family, with a modern education, and she has never respected or objected to these gods and ghosts, but ...... But inexplicably there is a sense of fear for these gods.

Since Li Changsheng came to worship God, she waited outside the gate of this temple.

I never thought that Li Changsheng stood like this, as if the whole person was frozen there, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't move.

After about a quarter of an hour, a Taoist priest appeared outside the main hall.

The Taoist priest looked a little old, with a gray beard, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of kindness.

Lao Dao first glanced at Kexin outside the hall gate, bowed his head slightly, said hello, and then looked at Li Changsheng in the main hall, seeing him standing still, Lao Dao smiled slightly, and walked into the main hall.

This Taoist temple, on weekdays, may be a day, and there is no figure, but now, there is a person standing in the main hall reverently, with a solemn expression, and the old Taoist naturally wants to ask clearly.

"Layman!"

Lao Dao walked to Li Changsheng's side and smiled slightly.

Li Changsheng seemed to come back to his senses, looked at the old Dao on the side, also smiled, gave a salute, and said, "Old Dao Chief, it's polite!" ”

Lao Dao said: "The layman has been standing here quietly for a long time, could it be that he has some worries in his heart, and wants to ask the gods to give an answer?" ”

"Yes." Li Changsheng smiled faintly, but shook his head, looked at the Sanqing Statue again, and said calmly: "It's just ...... They can't give me an answer, and they won't give ......."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Lao Dao said: "If there is anything that bothered the layman, he could say it, and he was happy...... The old way can solve your problems. ”

If Lao Dao can help Li Changsheng solve problems, I'm afraid Li Changsheng won't stand here for a long time.

Li Changsheng knew in his heart that the old Taoist in front of him was actually no different from ordinary people, he was just a Taoist who had practiced for many years, guarding this Taoist temple all his life, and he couldn't care about the worldly affairs outside.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng sighed and smiled, but shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing Li Changsheng's demeanor, Lao Dao said again: "If the layman doesn't want to talk to me, you can also tell the gods in front of you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed to the lottery holder on the table in front of him, and said slowly: "Otherwise, how about the layman ask for a lot?" ”

Li Changsheng saw that Lao Dao seemed to be insistent, and it was not easy for him to refuse, so he smiled slightly and picked up the sign holder on the table.

"Sincerely meditate on the problem you are encountering, and ask the gods to show you the way, and the gods will give you an answer!"

Lao Dao was beside him, and said lightly.

Li Changsheng shook the stick, and with a "rubbing" sound, a stick, fell down.

Picking up the sign, Li Changsheng looked at it, then laughed and said, "It seems that ...... My question really went unanswered. ”

"Oh?"

Lao Dao was stunned, took the sign in Li Changsheng's hand, glanced at it, and was also stunned.

Not a word was signed.

Generally speaking, there will be all kinds of lots, such as the upper sign, the lower sign, the middle flat sign, etc., each of which has some meaning behind it, representing the god's answer to your question.

However, there is also a stick, empty and white, which is also in this holder.

Although there are only one hundred and nine sticks in the stick, this extra one will hardly be drawn.

Unexpectedly, today, Li Changsheng was drawn.

Lao Dao was a little surprised, his expression was a little puzzled, and he looked at the young man in front of him.

"Old Daoist, in fact, I came here today to ask for something."

Li Changsheng suddenly spoke.

Lao Dao was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Changsheng pointed to the incense burner on the table with his hand, and said, "I want some incense ashes to go back." ”

"Huh?"

Lao Dao was stunned.

The incense burner is the rice bowl for the gods to eat, generally speaking, the incense burner should not be moved, whether it is in the temple, or on the offering table at home, however, the incense ash around the incense burner can be cleaned.

"What do you want this ash for?" Lao Dao looked suspicious.

Li Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Ask for incense ashes to purify your body and drive away evil spirits." ”

"This ......" Lao Dao's heart trembled, his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "Fellow Daoists? ”

"Exactly, Dao Chief!" Li Changsheng nodded.

"It turned out to be a Taoist friend, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Lao Dao hurriedly saluted again, and then came back to his senses and said: "Since the Taoist friends have asked for something, I, as the master of the Taoist temple, will naturally not refuse, and the Taoist friends will wait here for a while, and then I will go to get the containers and collect incense ashes for the Taoist friends." ”

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he hurriedly left.

After a while, he took a small porcelain bowl, walked to the edge of the offering table, carefully used a blanket to get off the incense ash on the table, and put it in the porcelain bowl, and then sealed the bowl with a lid, and then handed it to Li Changsheng.

"Thank you, Chief!"

Li Changsheng smiled and saluted, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall.
