The address I gave Zhuge Zheng is indeed here, and I haven't mentioned it before, the other party is a Taoist priest who is beginning to grow old.

After standing at the door for a while, Zhang Yang decided to go in and visit. Although I think it's unlikely, maybe the sweeping Taoist in front of him will be the kind of bull breaking character of the sweeping monk in Tianlong Babu?

"Master ......"

It's just that he was just about to speak, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few middle-aged people coming over on the street, who seemed to be some idle idlers, which could be inferred from the other party's dress and walking appearance, especially the guy with inverted triangular eyes at the head, who was full of lewdness. Laughing and boasting about something to the people behind them.

"Hey, brother, it looks like something is going to happen, let's see the situation first."

Chasing the life patted Zhang Yang's shoulder and pulled Zhang Yang aside, Zhang Yang saw that this group of idlers came by coincidence, and also had the intention of letting the other party test the old Taoist, so as to retreat aside.

The reason why I guessed that the target of these people was the old Taoist priest was also very simple, except for this ruined temple in this corner, there were no other buildings, and some of the houses nearby were mostly old courtyards that were no longer inhabited, so this place was very secluded and few people.

And not surprisingly, this group of idlers went straight to the door of the broken temple, and then found Zhang Yang and Chaser two uninvited guests, led by the inverted triangle is sharp-eyed, saw Zhang Yang's back wrapped in a big sword wrapped in strips, knowing that Zhang Yang was probably a person who practiced martial arts, so he didn't look for fault, but took a few more looks, and randomly walked into the broken temple.

The idler who followed him. There were five of them, two of whom were big-shouldered and round-waisted. Looks like the role of a thug, after going in and breaking the temple. Chasing Life whispered next to Zhang Yang: "These guys can't feel internal force, they should just be ordinary third-rate goods." ”

As a master, although chasing life does not have the ability to be as convenient as ruthless, it does not prevent him from guessing the strength of these people, and when he sees more, his vision will naturally become extremely poisonous, and he does not doubt it.

"It's just a ruined temple here, and there are no people around, what are these idlers doing here? Could it be that he still plans to sell Lao Jun's clay statue for money? ”

This can't help but be surprised, anyone can see that this small dilapidated temple with a radius of about sixty or seventy square meters really doesn't look like there is any treasure hidden, and a palm-sized place can't hide things at all. And the outer wall of the broken temple is directly naked. The exposed gray bricks, the two wooden doors that have been swaying in the wind and rain for I don't know how many years, are squeaking and squeaking old moans. Recite.

A room dedicated to the Taoist Sanqing clay sculpture is flanked by two small side rooms, apparently used as a bedroom and for guests. At the back of the house, there is a small patio, and from the back door is a neatly fenced bamboo fence with a lot of green vegetables.

If you want to say what is the value of this ruined temple? I'm afraid there are only those three clay sculptures, of course, this so-called value is estimated to be no more than 20 Wen. The reason is also very simple. No one will have anything to do and invite a Sanqing to go home for offering, and it's just an ordinary clay sculpture. It is far from being comparable to those delicate statues coated with gold dust, and it is not understood by Zhang Yang. What the hell is there here that attracts those idlers.

After entering the courtyard, he saw the old Taoist priest sweeping the floor, but the triangular eyes said directly: "Hey, Niu Nose, did you have enough money to prepare last time?" ”

The truth is revealed, the purpose of this group of idlers is to collect protection money!

It can be seen that the work of collecting protection fees, which is immeasurable, has begun in the Great Song Dynasty thousands of years ago, and it is justified and righteous. The old Taoist priest who swept the floor raised his head, and there were many patches on his washed and faded cyan robe, and some godless eyes looked at the inverted triangular eyes, and cowered.

"A few good men, the poor Tao is a monk, not to mention money, even the money to buy rice is given by a few other good people. I have been saving for a long time, and this is the only point, so please be able to bear with it. ”

The old Taoist priest dug into his pocket for a long time, and finally took out a cyan cloth bag, which could be vaguely recognized as a certain strip of cloth on the Taoist robe, and took it impatiently, opened it, and roared randomly quite dissatisfied:

"Old fellow, you're fooling us, aren't you? Only three coins of silver for more than a month? There are a few brothers in us, but I know that the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family came here a few days ago to repay her vows, with the financial resources of the He family, how can she get three coins of silver? ”

As soon as these words came out, the old Taoist priest's face changed a little, and it was obvious that he was hit by the inverted triangular eye. And Zhang Yang didn't expect that this guy who collected protection money would be so meticulous, and he actually knew that he was secretly staring at the person who came to break the temple to repay his wishes, and he felt a little sympathetic at the moment, knowing that eighty percent of the money secretly saved by the old Taoist priest could not be saved.

Since ancient times, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have been the most prosperous of incense, whether it is a Taoist temple or a temple, large or small, but there have always been believers in the existence of zài. Among these believers, old girls, daughters-in-law, old men and old ladies occupy the majority, these people are often reluctant to spend three cents to buy a candy man, but they are willing to donate one or two silver incense money to temples and Taoist temples, this strange phenomenon has continued for thousands of years, and it is still unaware until now.

(These are all true things, in my hometown, there are many superstitious old men and old ladies who are like this, decades of old ideas, no one can say it.) Although I don't believe this, it is impossible to talk to these old men and women about Marxism-Leninism and the scientific concept of sustainable development...... ）

And this ruined temple, or a simple Taoist temple that can no longer be simple, also has a small plaque, on which the words "Lingwei Temple" are written, but the reason why they only notice it now is because this plaque is in disrepair, and there is bird droppings covering it, it took half a day to identify these three words.

"Why did the donor say this? Although Mrs. He is a believer in my Taoist temple, she did not give away gold and silver for nothing, and the poor Taoist always had to prepare some money to reshape the golden body of the ancestor master. ”

The old Taoist priest couldn't hide it, so he could only start playing the emotional card, hoping to leave some. But he was soon disappointed, for the inverted triangular eyes glared at him very unceremoniously, and snatched the broom, which was about to fall off, and snapped it in half!

After breaking the broom, the inverted triangular eye unceremoniously took it as a hidden weapon, and smashed it directly towards the Sanqing statue in the lobby. Originally, the color paint on the surface of the statue had begun to peel off, and at this moment, it was even more sparse like rain, falling directly all over the ground, leaving only the bare-looking statue sitting on it, a little more wolf bèi and funny.

"Master Zu! You, you ......" The old Taoist priest opened his eyes and shouted angrily, and was about to rush into the lobby, but he was soon dragged by two idlers, and his inverted triangular eyes glanced around for a long time, and finally set his eyes on the offering table.

Because the temple is small, the money for incense is very small, and there is an incense burner on the offering table in front of the clay sculpture, with a few sticks of fine incense inserted on it, as for tributes such as fruit cakes, it cannot be expected to have, and the tablecloth on the table is probably the only relatively new thing.

The inverted triangular eye seems to be very familiar with this place, digging left and right, and it didn't take long to go around to the back of the clay sculpture, and in the left rear of Daode Tianzun, that is, Taishang Laojun, he touched a small secret door, which turned out to be knocked down a small piece of clay sculpture, and hollowed out to make a secret box, which was specially used to store items.

"That thing, that thing you can't touch!" Seeing that the inverted triangular eye had found the hidden box, the old Taoist priest didn't know where the strength came from, so he directly broke free from the control of the two, yelled and changed direction to the inverted triangular eye and pounced.

Where would the inverted triangular eye care about this, he took out the thing directly, but it was a small black wooden box, and it was not locked on it, so he opened it directly, and the thing that came into view made the pupils of the inverted triangular eye shrink!

"Actually, ....... fucking empty?"

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, he could be sure that there was nothing in it, and the thin wooden board was even more unlikely to have any sandwich or anything like that, and he was stunned at the moment.

"Damn, old thing, say, where did you hide your silver?"

The inverted triangular eye seemed to be a little annoyed, and directly grabbed the old Taoist priest who rushed over, and viciously grabbed the other party's collar and asked, obviously thinking that the old Taoist priest had transferred things to other places.

And Zhang Yang and Chasing Life looked at this scene, and frowned, judging from this series of situations, this old Taoist priest does not look like he knows kung fu at all, you must know that in Zhuge Zheng's advice, although the other party is not a first-class master, but it is also much stronger than ordinary third-rate masters, and it is not a problem to clean up a few small deflated threes, so why is it so wolfy?

"In that case, there's only one answer."

Zhang Yang and Chasing Life glanced at each other: "That's this old Taoist who sweeps the floor, I'm afraid he doesn't know martial arts at all!" The mysterious person I mentioned is either another person, or the old Taoist's martial arts have been abolished! ”

If it is the former, it is okay, if it is the latter, it can be thought that the old Taoist priest must have provoked some enemy, and he will be forced to abolish his kung fu. And this kind of thing is the last thing that a person who practices martial arts is willing to experience.

It's like asking a young man in his youth to cut off a man's words, or a girl in the prime of life, to cut off the two lumps of fat on her chest, which is simply the most unacceptable and painful thing in the world...... (To be continued......)
