There was still no sign of them outside the Taoist temple, and it was only then that I realized that they had dumped me, but I couldn't figure out why they did it.

When I didn't expect this, I wanted to cry, but when I really expected it, I didn't feel that way.

Standing at the door of the Taoist temple and looking at it for a few moments, and then walked in, since the second grandmother once said that I would borrow the 'Dutian Great Dharma Treasure Seal', it means that it must be useful to me, although they are not here now, this big seal, I still have to borrow it.

After hesitating outside the temple for a moment, I stepped in again.

At this point, the sky was already dark, and there were few people in the Taoist temple before, but there were more people entering this time.

When I entered, some of the people in Taoist robes inside looked up at me, and then lowered their heads and went about their own business, and no one paid attention to me.

I wanted to ask for directions, or ask them who the biggest person in this temple was, but when I saw their unfamiliar eyes, I was scared.

When I was about to look for it myself, I looked up and saw the middle-aged Taoist priest who had spoken to me this afternoon, and he sighed when he saw me.

I smiled at him, approached him and asked, "I would like to ask, is your biggest guy here back?" ”

This Taoist priest is about 30 years old, and the Taoist clothes he wears are different from other Taoist priests, other Taoist priests wear yellow, but he wears purple, and his status in this Taoist temple is not low.

This Taoist priest was reading on the stone bench, but when he saw me asking him, he put down the book and said with a smile: "The oldest here has been out of the Taoist temple yesterday, and the oldest person went to the Baiyun Temple for a meeting a few days ago, and the most tempered person is in the dining hall at this time, the most powerful is in the inner courtyard, and the greatest ability is in front of you...... I don't know which one you're looking for, little brother? ”

When he asked this, it really stumped me, and the second grandmother said let me come to find the biggest temple in this temple, where did I know that there are so many big ones here, so I was stunned for a while, and I didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that I was embarrassed, the Taoist priest laughed heartily twice, reached out and touched my head: "Little brother, tell me anything first, and I will talk to all the biggest ones when I have time in a while, and see if they can help you." ”

I told me about the Heavenly Great Dharma Seal again, but he still shook his head and asked me again: "I have stayed in various Taoist temples for a while, and I have heard the Shangqing Great Cave Seal and the Zhensha Seal, but I have never heard what you said about the Heavenly Great Dharma Treasure Seal, are you sure you remember correctly?" ”

Although I am young, my memory is notoriously good, and I thought carefully in the afternoon, and the second grandmother said that the magic seal of the sky is right.

When I nodded and said that it was the name, he thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Then you wait here, and I'll ask the person with the biggest temper here in a moment to see if he has seen it." ”

As soon as the Taoist priest finished speaking, nine rumbling drums sounded in the Taoist temple, and when they heard this sound, the Taoist priests who had been idle around got up and went to a place.

The Taoist priest who was talking to me heard the sound and looked at the place where the drum sounded, and then said, "Yes, don't wait, little brother hasn't eaten, let's go, let's go together, I'll help you ask by the way." ”

As soon as I said this word, I realized that I had only eaten a meal today, and my stomach was already growling, and I really wanted to go to eat with him, but when I was in the countryside, my grandparents often told me not to accept favors from others casually, and I wanted to refuse him, but my head was not under my control, so I nodded and said thank you.

When I walked towards the place where the drum sounded, this Taoist priest introduced himself to me, his name was Meng Changqing, not a Taoist priest of this Taoist temple, but a Taoist priest sent by another Taoist temple to communicate.

After introducing himself, he asked me my name and why I borrowed this seal, and I said that it was to cure the disease.

When he heard the word healing, he was stunned for a moment and asked me, "Who told you that the Great Seal of Taoism can cure diseases?" ”

Seeing that he was so strict, I thought it was a taboo, but it was nothing to think about, so it was time: "My second grandmother, she said that I was at the bottom of the fire and borrowed a big seal to transfer it." ”

This was taught to me by my second grandmother when I came in, and she asked me not to tell others that I had ghosts on me, and I asked why, and she said that others would be afraid of me if they knew, and no one would want to leave me at that time.

I don't know if this is the reason, but what the second grandmother said must be right.

After hearing this, Meng Changqing nodded and said, "Your second grandmother should be a master." ”

I snorted, now when I talk about the second grandmother, I will think of her and Xiaoxiao dumping me, at the age of 11, it is fake not to resent it.

I walked for nearly three minutes inside the Taoist temple before I stopped at the door of an independent quaint house, and I looked at it, and there was a plaque hanging on the door of this house, on which were written the two big characters 'Zhaitang'. The Taoist priests who came before were all queuing here, and we went late, so we naturally ended up in line.

I saw that there were many people in the front row, so I said to Meng Changqing: "You still have to line up for dinner." ”

Meng Changqing pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction, and said in line with my words: "Taoism is good anywhere, but there are too many etiquette, I don't think it's necessary at all." ”

While he was talking, a middle-aged man with a full beard came out of the dining hall, who looked like Li Kui, a black whirlwind on TV, with a body of flesh bumps, which looked a little scary. However, the clothes he wore were the same as Meng Changqing's, they were all purple.

Meng Changqing saw me staring at the bearded man who came out, patted my shoulder, leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Isn't it ugly?" ”

Although it is not kind to say bad things about people behind my back, I still nodded, compared to Meng Changqing, the bearded man is indeed a lot worse.

This Meng Changqing looks very upright, he is almost 30 years old and has not seen a single fold, and those eyes, just like a tiger on TV, I feel panicked after watching it a few more times.

While the two of us were whispering here, the bearded man in front of him walked along the Taoist priest in line and looked up, walked a few steps, stopped and pulled out a young Taoist priest inside, and said, "You, come out and tidy up your appearance." ”

After that, a few disheveled people were selected one after another, and when it was almost my turn, I hurriedly looked down at my clothes, and sorted them out by the way, Meng Changqing couldn't help laughing when he saw my flustered hands and feet.

As soon as I finished tidying up, the bearded man came to me, first glanced at Meng Changqing, and said, "Mr. Meng." ”

Meng Changqing also replied: "Prison, be merciful and merciful." ”

After saying these two words to Meng Changqing, he put his eyes on me, and I thought to myself that my clothes had been sorted out, and they should not be pulled out.

The bearded man glanced at me, then looked up at Meng Changqing and said, "Mr. Meng, this is your disciple, right?" ”

When he said this, Meng Changqing and I both saw a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes, Meng Changqing most likely wanted to defend me, so he said: "Oh, yes, yes, his name is Ye Hai, the apprentice I only accepted today." After speaking, he crutched me with his hand and said, "This is Prison Li, say hello." ”

I was afraid that he would pull me out, so I hurriedly said, "I've seen Prison Li."

I greeted him, but he ignored it, but turned his head to Meng Changqing and said, "Since he is a disciple of Mr. Meng, I won't let him bathe and change clothes, but this face and hands must be cleaned before entering the hall, which is really unusual." ”

Meng Changqing nodded again and again, and without waiting for me to say anything, he pulled me to the side of the water tank and asked me to fetch water to wash my face.

Although I was not satisfied with the bearded man pulling me out, I still endured it in order to be able to eat.

When washing his face, Meng Changqing said to me: "He is the person with the biggest temper here, don't mess with him, don't make too much noise when you eat for a while, otherwise you will be kicked out." ”

I guess I can guess that he is the one with the most temper, so I can only rely on it.

Finally entered the dining hall, and when I saw the food on the table, I was stunned, only a bowl of vegetarian vegetables and a bowl of rice, although it was bitter in the countryside, but there was at least a bowl of old bacon at every meal.

However, seeing that they were all eating deliciously, and this was given to me by others, I could only be picky and devour it all.

My appearance caused many people to frown, and almost lured the bearded man over.

After the meal, Meng Changqing asked me to sit there, and he got up and asked the bearded man about the Dutian Great Dharma Treasure Seal.

After a while, he came back, shook his head in front of me, and said, "He doesn't know, little brother, or come over tomorrow?" ”

I wanted to nod and say yes, but I am not familiar with life, and I am alone, I really don't know where to go, seeing that this Meng Changqing is very generous, I caught his attention and said: "My second grandmother dumped me, I really don't know where to go." ”

Meng Changqing listened, frowned, and hurriedly said, "There is such a thing now? But I have some business to attend to tonight, or it would be fine for you to stay with me. ”

When I heard this, I was overjoyed, and I seemed hopeful, and said, "It's all right, I won't disturb you." ”

Meng Changqing stared at me for a while, and sighed: "Okay, okay, it's the first time someone has asked to come with me." ”

At more than seven o'clock, Meng Changqing took me to his room in this Taoist temple, his room is also very simple, just above is an incense case, there is an image hanging above the incense case, and later I knew that it was a Sanqing map, there is a couplet on the left and right of the Sanqing map, the upper couplet reads 'Heaven and Earth Jun is a teacher, great grace is difficult to repay', the lower couplet reads 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, to virtue and repair', and there is a horizontal batch written on it 'Heaven and Earth Qingming'.

On the left of the room is a large bed with a simple carved vermilion, and on the right is a brown cabinet.

Meng Changqing entered the house and inserted a stick of incense into the incense altar, then turned around and said to me: "There is a saying in Taoism, only the master is allowed to find a disciple, and the disciple is not allowed to find a teacher. ”

"Master?"

"No, it's the master. Only when you formally apprentice can you be called a master, and when the time comes, you need to serve the master like a father, the relationship between you and me is not that step, as long as I teach you a little knowledge, you can be called your master. ”
