8 Stay true to the old ways

The view is as dilapidated as the decaying village of Shangtou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Shangtou Village and Xiatou Village are two villages that are very close to each other in this mountain, both on the same mountain, and Shangtou Village is closer to the peak of this mountain, so it is called "Shangtou Village". Xiatou Village has a lower altitude, so it is called "Xiatou Village", and Zhao Daliang is the head of Xiatou Village.

The terrain of Shangtou Village is too high, and it is very inconvenient for the villagers to live here. In order to avoid disasters in troubled times, the ancestors of the villagers of Shangtou Village moved there to avoid disasters. Now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and it is difficult to find a stable water source in Shangtou Village, so many families have gone down the mountain to make a living in the town. Only a few of the elderly, the sick, and the disabled could not leave, so they could only stay in the original village and struggle to survive.

Xiatou Village is close to a small stream, the terrain is relatively flat, you can farm and raise chickens, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, there are many means to make a living, and the popularity is also a lot. Two years earlier, there were people from Shangtou Village who moved to Xiatou Village, but after all, they were latecomers and couldn't stay, so they moved to the town again. The villagers of Xiatou Village are quite willing to stay in the village, hunting and collecting medicine to make mountain goods, and they can live quite comfortably.

The people in Shangtou Village are not prosperous, and wild animals and wild birds are more active. The hunters of other villages like to squat and hunt in Shangtou Village, and they can hunt their prey near this village without having to run far. Liu Orion is one of them, he always comes two or three times a year, and lives in Shangtouguan. He was also very familiar with the Taoist priest who was looking at the top.

As soon as Liu Orion saw that the Taoist temple was in front of him, he quickened his pace under his feet, taking three steps and making two steps, wanting to hurry to the Taoist temple to rest.

When he walked quickly to the door of the Taoist temple, a young and thin Taoist priest came out of it, and when he saw that it was Liu Orion, he knew him, and hurriedly greeted, "Liu Orion, are you hunting again?" ā€

Liu Orion shook his head, "No, this is the case with your master, is your master here?" ā€

The young Taoist priest nodded, "Yes, but I'm losing my temper." ā€

Liu Orion heard that the old Taoist priest was losing his temper, so he thought about it: this old Taoist priest didn't know what he was doing, but he came to him for help at this time, in case he refused to go out of the mountain, but if it was a big trouble, he still had to ask the reason for the old cow's nose tantrum first. ā€

Thinking of this, Liu Orion hurriedly grabbed the little Taoist priest who was about to go out, "Yiqing, tell me, what kind of temper did your master have?" Don't wait for me to go in, the words are not right, and I bump into him, which is not good. ā€

Yiqing little Taoist smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, the master is worried about the livelihood of this Taoist temple." ā€

"What's wrong? Having a hard time? Liu Orion asked.

"Isn't it? Just now, the master was still losing his temper and scolding the uncles and ancestors of Sanqingshan. ā€

"What are you scolding them for?"

"The master said that they threw our side branch into this poor ravine, and there was no food or drink, and sooner or later this temple would be closed. He went to Sanqing Mountain some time ago, saying that he was going to petition, and proposed to the Taoist temple over there that we should abandon this Taoist temple and return to the ancestral court of Sanqing Mountain. But the master and ancestor of Sanqing Mountain refused, saying that our branch had been separated for a long time, and this area also needed a Taoist temple Zhenshan, so he refused to let us go back. He also said that the master was too eager for quick success and quick profit, and he couldn't endure hardship, so he was not suitable for taking charge of the Taoist temple. It is said that in our area, there is about to be a demon star at the head, and something big is going to happen, so we need a real person with a way to suppress it. Zuting plans to invite a real person to come to our Taoist temple as the abbot.

You said such a thing, can the master be happy? I wanted to go back to eat and drink spicy food, and even the abbot of this tattered Taoist temple has not been approved for so many years, and said that he would parachute in some real person, no wonder the master lost his temper, and we felt uncomfortable. ā€

Liu Orion pondered in his heart, "It turns out that this is such a thing, this 'demon star is the head', and it is quite accurate, the strange things in our village, isn't it just that there are demons infested." But this cannot be said so bluntly, otherwise, the old bull's nose will be crooked, and perhaps he will be angry and angry, and he will not go back to the village with me, so I will tell him that he has a big deal to take care of him, and maybe he will be happy. ā€

Thinking of this, Liu Orion made a haha with the little Taoist priest of Yiqing, let him out, and then shook into the Taoist temple by himself.

The Taoist temple was originally not large, a small main hall, on both sides and behind the Taoist priests' bedrooms and kitchens. There are no rooms either. Over the years, the number of Taoist priests has decreased, and Liu Orion can only have an empty bunk to sleep when they hunt nearby.

After Liu Orion entered the door, he heard a sharp and excited voice scolding his mother.

"What the fuck is breaking the ancestral court, what is the fucking breaking dragon and tiger mountain Taoist temple, it's all fucking bullshit. Lao Tzu has worked hard here for many years, have you begged for a little good? I can't go back, I want to be a serious abbot and I don't give approval, this fucking Lao Tzu is still a fart Taoist, I already knew this, I might as well go home and marry a wife and hold a baby, go to his mother's cultivation of immortals, cultivate a fart, practice a bird. My stomach is empty, and I still cultivate, and I have become a ghost? Also cultivate immortals. There's nothing damn good......"

Liu Orion listened to this old Taoist priest scolding his mother, and he felt funny when he heard it, and he couldn't help but be happy. The heart said, "This old cow's nose is really impure, and he can't be the host, and he is full of scolding his mother, and he won't stumble when he says it." ā€

I thought so in my heart, but the words that came out of Liu Orion's mouth were different, "Hey, I said old abbot, who are you angry with?" Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire. ā€

Before Liu Orion entered the main hall, he opened his throat and shouted inside.

"Who?" Inside, the old man who was not angry also yelled outside.

"I, I, Xiao Liu of Xiatou Village, Xiao Liu of Orion, do you remember the old abbot?" Liu Orion took a bite of an old abbot and patted the sycophants who adhered to the old way.

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.

Listening to the name of the abbot shouting, the old Taoist priest felt a little more comfortable, "Ah, it's Liu Orion, remember, remember, is there something wrong?" ā€

When Liu Orion entered the door, he saw a mess in the main hall, and the bull's nose was angry and fell to the ground. In front of the offering table in the main hall, there is a table of eight immortals, there are two chairs next to the table of eight immortals, and there is a thin old Taoist priest standing next to the chair, this old Taoist is more than fifty years old, his small eyes are showing three points of anger, and his beard is upturned, he doesn't look like a good person, with a sharp beak and monkey gills, and the whole moment is thin and short-lived. This honor is completely incompatible with the four words of fairy wind and dao bones.

What the old Taoist priest looks like has nothing to do with Liu Orion, Liu Orion only needs to invite him to go to Xiatou Village to eliminate demons. So Liu Orion took out the uneaten dry food bacon from his body with a smile, picked it up, and gave it to the old Taoist, "Daoist, you look very angry, don't be angry." I've brought some dry food bacon for you to taste. ā€

The old Taoist priest was not polite, took the thing, looked at it, took out a steamed bun from the bag, and some bacon, "Damn, I'm hungry, you came just in time, fill your stomach." After saying that, he actually ate it.

When Liu Orion saw that he had eaten it, he was relieved, and stood opposite with a smile on his face.

Eat the soft mouth of the person. The old Taoist priest saw Liu Orion standing there, very unhappy, and while stuffing steamed buns into his mouth, he muttered and said vaguely, "Don't stand, sit, sit." ā€

As he spoke, he himself sat down, and Liu Orion also sat across from him.

The old Taoist priest looked very ugly, and he was too anxious to eat steamed buns, so he sat down and choked, choking so much that he rolled his eyes. Liu Orion hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, and forced a smile in his heart, "This old Taoist hasn't eaten for a few days, why is he so hungry?" ā€

The old Taoist priest finally smoothed out the steamed buns blocked in his throat, and then he let out a long breath, and the stuffiness in his chest earlier was almost pressed by this steamed bun, and his face was no longer angry.

Liu Orion observed his words and knew that he was fine, so he was about to speak, but the old Taoist priest actually spoke first, "I said Liu Orion, I think you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time, how long do you plan to stay in the Taoist Temple?" He thought that Liu Orion had come to stay in Dajian again.

"It didn't take long, a day at most, half a day at least." Liu Orion replied with a smile.

"Huh?" It was very surprising to abide by the old way, "You came so far away, and you will leave today and tomorrow, so what are you hunting?" Could it be that the achievement is to bring me steamed buns? As he spoke, he took out another steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and when he reached his mouth, he remembered that he had just choked and felt uncomfortable, and his heart palpitated, so he chewed a little and chewed slowly.

Liu Orion smiled, "It's not hunting, it's not hunting this time." ā€

"If you're not hunting, what are you doing here?" The old Taoist priest was puzzled.

"I'm here to bring business to Dao Ye." Liu Orion pretended to be mysterious and said.

"Business? I'm not a merchant, what kind of business do I do? The old Taoist priest didn't believe it, but he still concentrated on eating steamed buns.

"What Dao Ye said, it is difficult that only merchants can do business. If that's the case, how can you maintain this view, which has seven or eight mouths? Liu Orion said.

"Hey, when I talk about these seven or eight mouths, I get angry. Damn, we are also a Taoist temple directly separated from the ancestral court of Sanqing Mountain, and we don't care about it over there. We are miserable, relying on ourselves to grow some food and vegetables to survive, and life is very difficult. This lack of water and food cannot grow anything. Originally, I hoped to do something to suppress demons and eliminate demons, funerals and excesses, and support myself, but the people in this mountain are becoming sparse day by day, and the current atmosphere is against feudal superstition, what kind of world? How do you think we will live our lives? We don't have a scenic spot here, no one comes to visit, and we can't make money by selling tickets. Speaking of which, the old bull noses of the ancestral court are hateful. Speaking of anger, the old Taoist priest who adhered to it scolded the old Taoist priests of Sanqing Mountain again.

When he was tired of abiding by the old way and scolding, Liu Orion answered, "Master Dao, dissipate your anger, don't I bring you a business." ā€

"I said that I am not a businessman, what do I do......" Halfway through the back and forth, Lao Dao suddenly came back to his senses, as if he had been in a long drought and rain, and his eyes were shining, "Where do you mean that there is a Dharma for me to do?" ā€
