Chapter 5: Divine Vision
At night, Qin Yunshan fell into silence.
In the middle of the night, on the top of the mountain, where the White Immortal Temple is located, a raging fire ignited.
The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, and it is a good time to set fires.
If you kill people and don't set fires, your business will be done in vain.
Fang Xuan took a breath and took the White Immortal View as well.
The white immortal Taoist is a rabbit into a essence, and the same as the yellow immortal Taoist chief, he usually relies on the pit to deceive and fool the pilgrims, and many pilgrims have become confused after being sucked by him, as if they have lost their minds.
Tossing until midnight, when estimating the time, Fang Xuan hit the direction of the White Immortal View and walked towards the Shenxiao Temple.
At night, the breeze is cool, and the whole mountain forest is peaceful.
Fang Xuan raised his head and looked at the bright moon, and for a while, he felt a lot.
It was the first night after the old Taoist died.
Walking and walking, he was also close to the Shenxiao Temple, and Fang Xuan saw that a figure appeared in front of the door of the Taoist Temple.
Through the dim moonlight, Fang Xuan faintly saw the figure, as if he was pacing back and forth in front of the Shenxiao Gate, looking a little anxious.
It was not too early now, and it stands to reason that the pilgrims should have all descended the mountain.
The mountain road is difficult to travel at night, and there are wild beasts such as wolves, tigers and leopards, how can anyone still come up to the mountain at this time?
"Who?" Fang Xuan waited until he approached, and suddenly shouted.
Although the figure was pacing back and forth, it seemed to be thinking about something, and it didn't notice Fang Xuan's appearance at all, and was suddenly frightened when Fang Xuan shouted like this
When he saw Fang Xuan clearly, the sad color on the figure's face suddenly disappeared, and the whole person was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran forward and shouted, "Xiaodao Chief...... Trail Chief...... Ah...... I've waited for you......"
"Is that you?" Fang Xuan was slightly stunned.
This figure is the pilgrim who was paralyzed by a stroke at the gate of Huangxian Temple today.
This pilgrim, named Liu Laosan, is forty-nine years old, and is a villager in Dongzhuang Village at the foot of Qinyun Mountain.
But I didn't expect that this old man had a son, but a disaster fell from the sky, I thought that the Yellow Immortal Daoist was a living immortal, but I didn't expect it...... The luck of this family was detained, and now the wife is paralyzed in bed, and the son is young and ignorant, and the burden of the family has all fallen on Liu Laosan.
In just a few months, he seemed to be ten years old, the wrinkles on his forehead were even worse, and there were a few more strands of gray hair on his sideburns.
"Dao Chief...... Taoist ...... Today's thing is that we have eyes but no beads, and we don't know the true immortals...... I also hope that the Taoist chief will not be surprised......" Liu Laosan showed an excited look on his face, ran forward, and grabbed Fang Xuan's robe.
Fang Xuan glanced at him lightly and said, "It's okay, that monster has eight hundred years of Taoism and can transform into a human form, and it is not your fault that you are confused by him......
After that, Fang Xuan took a step and was about to go to the Divine Sky Temple.
"Dao Chief...... Wait...... Liu Laosan grabbed Fang Xuan again and said, "Dao Chief, I've been here for a few hours, and I just have something to ask for...... The Taoist said today that my family was lucky to be detained by that monster...... In the future, children will be cut off, and the incense will not be continued...... I, Liu Laosan, have been down-to-earth all my life, I never thought that such a thing would happen when I was old, and I asked the Taoist chief to come to the rescue, save my mother-in-law, save my son......"
The more Liu Laosan spoke, the more excited he became, and the whole person finally "poofed" and knelt directly on the ground.
Since Fang Xuan came back and saw Liu Laosan, he knew in his heart that Liu Laosan must have something to ask for when he came to Shenxiaoguan.
This Liu Laosan thought that after seeing that the true body of the Yellow Immortal Daoist was a yellow skin, he was extremely desperate and refused to go down the mountain, so he asked other pilgrims about Fang Xuan's origin and found the Shenxiao Temple.
Fang Xuan's face was calm, and with a hand support, he helped Liu Laosan up, and said, "You go!" ”
For Fang Xuan, he is dedicated to seeking the Tao and does not ask about the world.
The reason why he took the Yellow Immortal View and the White Immortal View was only because he was unpleasant to look at those two fake Taoist priests, and coupled with the death of the old Taoist immortal, Fang Xuan's heart was indignant.
As for the people in the world, he doesn't have such a loving heart to care about everyone's life and death.
Under the way of heaven, everything has its own laws.
There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, people have good fortunes and misfortunes, and everyone's life and death have a certain number.
And the cultivator follows the path of heaven and follows his heart.
A character as strong as the old Taoist leader, who has cultivated to the end of his life, but has not achieved positive results, isn't it also a fixed number in the underworld?
Cultivating the Tao is different from cultivating the Buddha.
Those who are careful can find that from ancient times to the present, most temples have been built at the foot of the mountain or on the mountainside, but the Taoist temple is built on the top of that mountain.
Just because the Buddha is destined to be a person, everyone who comes is a guest, since it is for the sake of purifying all sentient beings, it is natural to open the door to welcome guests, and the temple should not be built far away.
Cultivators, on the other hand, pay attention to the way of self-cultivation and go with the flow, so the Taoist temple should naturally be built on the top of the mountain, on the edge of the cliff, in case outsiders disturb the Qing cultivation.
If there are really people who seek the Tao wholeheartedly, then no matter how high and far the Taoist temple is cultivated, there are still believers who have traveled thousands of miles to climb mountains and wade through rivers to come to worship.
If there are people who are not strong-minded, then ...... Even if the Taoist temple is cultivated in the red world, what is the use of it?
With evil thoughts, it is useless to burn incense.
Hold on to your integrity, why don't you worship when you see me?
Liu Laosan's face was extremely unsightly, and at this moment, he hurriedly ran in front of Fang Xuan, blocked Fang Xuan's way into the Taoist temple, knelt on the ground again, cried with a sad face, and said, "Dao Chief...... Taoist ...... I am now in a desperate situation, and no one can save me but you...... Please also ask the Taoist chief to have mercy and save my wife, children, and children, as long as they can save their lives...... I...... I...... I'm willing to fight with my life......"
Fang Xuan was stunned, looked at him, stretched out his hands, supported his arms, and said, "If you really fight with your life, what is the difference between my Shenxiao Guan and that Huang Xianguan?" It's just that...... I ...... this mundane thing."
As he spoke, his eyes were gloomy, looking towards the Shenxiao Temple, and in his heart, he didn't know what he was thinking.
The dilapidated Taoist temple, the painted statues, quiet and quiet, under this vast sky, insignificant.
Liu Laosan was already crying to tears, and the whole person looked even more haggard.
Heaven has the virtue of a good life, although Fang Xuan has no intention of interfering in the affairs of Liu Laosan's family, but Liu Laosan is also sincere, waiting hard in front of Shenxiao Temple to wait for Fang Xuan to come back, and now he is begging bitterly.
Although a cultivator conforms to his heart, he is by no means a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
After a long pause, Fang Xuan sighed and said, "That's it!" This time, I'll help you! ”
Liu Laosan's body was shocked, and his face was suddenly overjoyed, his eyes flashed, as if he saw hope, and he shouted: "Thank you, Dao Chief...... Thank you, Mr. Dao, ......."
Fang Xuan was unhurried, took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Laosan, and said: "My Taoist temple is small and dilapidated, and the statue of Sanqing is enshrined in the main hall, so it is not suitable for people to rest, for fear of blaspheming the Immortal Venerable, I will not leave you here to rest tonight...... You hold this talisman paper, hold it in the palm of your hand, and immediately go down the mountain, all the way, you can keep you safe, and the rich wolf, tiger and leopard dare not approach you...... Wait for me in the village, and tomorrow morning, I will go down the mountain to your house......"
"Okay, okay...... Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......" Liu Laosan was overjoyed and nodded again and again.
After thanking Fang Xuan repeatedly, Liu Laosan left Shenxiao Temple and hurried down the mountain.
