Chapter 39: The Little Taoist
The whole Taoist temple looks overgrown with weeds, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is an abandoned Taoist temple, full of tatters and no living environment.
Directly opposite the big water tank is a small-scale Sanqing Palace, my grandfather told me that the content of the Taoist temple is basically the same, and the Sanqing Hall is mainly used for Taoist priests to make incense and do morning classes on weekdays.
There was a faint smell of sandalwood inside, and my grandfather and I looked at each other, tacitly feeling that there must be someone inside.
However, my grandfather did not take me in immediately, but told me a few times about the basic etiquette of Taoism. Taoism has three don't ask, three don't speak, and three don't disturb. One does not ask about longevity, two does not ask about mundane things, and three does not ask about family origin. The level of the Tao has nothing to do with the age of the vulgar, so you can't ask others about their age, and people in the Taoist sect are somewhat taboo about this. The three don't say anything is not to dream in the morning, not to kill at noon, and not to say ghosts and gods at night. When a Taoist priest is fasting, chanting, and meditating, others are not allowed to disturb him, which is something that every Taoist needs to observe.
Grandpa then took me towards the Sanqing Hall walked in, the slightly smaller hall is placed in the three pillars of fragrance, next to the table put a pair of bowls and chopsticks and two plates of offering food, this grandfather told me before, Taoist people with fasting and ordinary people are different, Taoist priests must be offered in ten directions every time they eat, each time they must set a good meal on the table, with gods, people, ghosts and ghosts to offer, also called 'three edges'.
My grandfather and I stood next to me, because my grandfather told me before I came, so I didn't even dare to let out a fart, for fear of disturbing the Taoist priest's meal.
However, I didn't see the Taoist priest for a long time, only a little boy about my age sat on a rattan mat next to me.
It is estimated that he is eight or nine years old, with long hair, he is wearing a blue robe, and a gossip-shaped hosta is inserted in his bun, looking extremely handsome, he has sat still for a long time, his face is full of iceberg-like breath, although the childishness has not retreated, but the edges and corners are clear, making people feel untouchable.
This little Taoist priest opened his eyes after a long time, and just turned his head to look at us, he was not surprised to see me and my grandfather appear, but said calmly, "Sure enough, I still found it." ”
Grandpa smiled sullenly, "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and they have laid out such a powerful formation, except for Lao Tzu who had this ability back then, you are counted in the world." ”
I really thought I had heard it wrong, my grandfather actually said that the formations in the cave were arranged by this little Taoist, who was about the same age as me, only half a head taller than me, how could he be so powerful.
Grandpa said that he can set up the Nine Palaces Bagua Array and the Seven Killing Array, which is equivalent to the level of the master, and it is definitely not something that ordinary Taoists can complete overnight.
How could it be a little doll? I wonder if Grandpa was mistaken.
The little Taoist priest looked at his grandfather indifferently and replied coldly, "Please go back." ”
I originally thought that grandpa's temper, how could he stand the appearance of this little guy who was not big or small, and he would definitely have to clean up well, but I didn't expect that grandpa looked at him with interest, and said with a smile, "Zhang Zewen, you will catch up with your grandfather in a few years, but my Chen family has no grievances with you, you locked up my grandson's little daughter-in-law below, and you will always give an explanation, right?" ”
Zhang Zewen?
I think I've heard this name somewhere.
I remembered that my grandfather had said that he wanted me to promise him three things, the first thing was to invite my daughter-in-law back. The second thing is to learn from my grandfather, and the third thing is that if I meet someone named Zhang Zewen and anything happens, I can only protect him.
Could it be this person that grandpa is talking about?
I protect him?
If it's really as grandpa said, I should be avoiding him, not protecting him!
is surnamed Zhang again, how can our family always be involved with people surnamed Zhang.
But I suddenly felt that grandpa seemed to have special abilities, and the three sentences left by leaving the Daomen before were also realized, and before we met this Zhang Zewen, grandpa already knew, and said that he asked me to protect him, the more I thought about it, the more terrible I felt.
The little Taoist priest was stunned, and looked at his grandfather with a little surprise, obviously not understanding the fact that his grandfather knew his name.
His face was calm again, and his tone was calm, "She has a long history of involvement with the Daomen, I advise you, it's best not to meddle in this matter." ”
This Zhang Zewen, the tone and expression of his speech are completely inconsistent with his age, and his immature body seems to be indifferent to the world.
Grandpa looked at him coldly, and his tone instantly became serious, "That's my granddaughter-in-law's body, this matter is my family matter, Lao Tzu is in charge of this matter, I just came to inform you." If you guessed correctly, the alchemy at the bottom should be to extract something from Zhang Yao's body, no matter what this thing is, the person who arranged for you to do this is naturally Zhang Jingzong, that is, your grandfather. The conflict between him and me has existed for decades, and that is our business, and we can solve it ourselves, and you are gifted and intelligent, and you should apply it on the right path, not this personal grudge. ”
Grandpa's polite appearance before became terrifying in a blink of an eye, and the whole air pressure was breathless.
Zhang Zewen was not afraid of his grandfather, and snorted lightly, "It's easy for you to break my formation, you don't need to greet me in person." ”
I looked at him blankly, and wondered for a while, why is there such a big gap between people at the same age? He really looks like a Taoist priest when he puts on a Taoist robe, and I wear a Tianxian cave coat like a bed sheet, which is very obscene.
They are young, but they have extremely strong abilities, and I don't seem to have any advantages except for a little daughter-in-law.
Grandpa looked at him faintly and said, "I don't want to embarrass you, but Lao Tzu likes your cleverness, and Quanzhen teaches you that you are not interested, otherwise it will not be your father's turn to be in charge." If you are really interested in Zhengyi, the village will look for me in three days. ”
After the words fell, my grandfather saluted, took my hand and walked back.
Coming out of the Sanqing Palace, I still have doubts in my stomach.
Grandpa took me and jumped into the large water tank of the Taoist temple and returned to the cave.
I couldn't help but ask my grandfather, "Grandpa, you've been talking for a long time, what are you talking about, I can't understand a word, isn't that Zhang Jingzong of the Quanzhen Sect having an enmity with you?" Why are you so good to his grandson, his grandson still set up my daughter-in-law, this matter should be theorized to him! ”
Grandpa smiled, reached out and touched my head, and said in a gentle tone, "Stinky boy, don't always think too badly of people, I like that kid a lot." Since Zhang Zewen didn't say anything about our breaking formation, let's just break the formation and bring your daughter-in-law home first. ”
But thinking about what my grandfather said before, how worried I was, "But grandpa, you said before that if you break the formation, it will hurt my daughter-in-law?" ”
Grandpa smiled, "Since he knows that we are going to break the formation, your daughter-in-law's body is particularly important, and he will definitely lose the formation before us." ”
Grandpa told me that the formation of troops in the Dao Gate can also be operated through talismans, and when the formation is connected to the caster, it is only necessary to recite the spell together to make the formation invalid.
I will be skeptical of this, and I will not understand it.
However, when my grandfather and I returned to the coffin, we found that the seven corpses that had been erected before had fallen to the ground, and even the rune paper around the coffin was scattered on the ground.
"Huh? How so? "I never understood.
Grandpa told me that Zhang Zewen is a prodigy of Taoism in recent years, but if you want to talk about fighting methods, you can't compare to grandpa, grandpa has come to the door, if he doesn't want Zhang Yao's body to be destroyed, he must compromise and make concessions.
As for what secrets are hidden in Zhang Yao's body, let Zhang Jingzong arrange for him to set up the formation, and slowly figure it out, this matter must be related to the rise and fall of the Daomen.
My grandfather and I cleaned up after a long time, and then transported Zhang Yao's body back home, and when we arrived at the house, it was already late at night.
Grandpa thought that only by letting Zhang Yao quickly borrow the corpse to return the soul, the people of the Daomen would definitely not stop there, so he took out an oval black and bright incense block from the previous iron box, grandpa told me, this is called soul return incense, a strange smell recorded in the "Ten Continents", soul return incense. Si Lingwu also, the fragrance smells hundreds of miles, the dead body is on the ground, and the smell is alive. Because it is not easy for Zhang Yao to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul, he needs to use the soul rejuvenation incense to increase the chance of success.
