Chapter 88: Taoism

Li Yuntong's mind flashed the vicious eyes of the middle-aged Taoist priest, and she said thoughtfully: "He does have the ability, but whether it is out of good intentions is difficult to say." ”

There is a topic about middle-aged Taoist priests, and they quickly put it aside after saying a few words, after all, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the person who is just Cao Zhi, but there is no good way to do this, and there is nothing to ask when interrogating those people, so they can only wait and see what they will do as Li Daozong said.

After all, they were in a hurry, and the other party was even more anxious, because the team to send off relatives had only stayed in Weizhou Mansion for five days, and it was already the third day at this time.

As long as he still wants to do it in Weizhou Mansion, sooner or later he will show his feet.

Although his father and brother advised Li Yuntong to stay in his residence and go out less in the past two days, so as not to encounter danger, he has been sitting in a carriage on the journey, and it is rare to stay for a few days to go out to relax, Li Yuntong is absolutely unwilling to be bored in the house, so she promised well, turned her head and took someone to Phoenix Mountain to see the scenery.

She didn't believe it, she didn't inform anyone in advance of her whereabouts, and what other risks could she encounter.

Phoenix Mountain rises on the shore of the Wei River, stands majestically, there are intricate pine forests, eaves and arches, carved beams and painted mountain temples, Taoist temples, drum towers, like this kind of mountains and rivers, the scenery is special, the front is facing Wuzui, the back should be Longgang, the right side with the tower mountain, the left ring of the topography of the Han River, is the treasure in the eyes of the feng shui master, she came to the Weizhou Mansion to take a look.

Because of those things last night, I got up late in the morning, had dinner, and by the time Li Yuntong went out, it was almost noon.

Therefore, she deliberately left a message to her father and brother that she would stay on Phoenix Mountain for one night this night.

Because he didn't want to alarm others, Li Yuntong changed into men's clothes when he went out, took Dongqing and Qiu Feng, and more than a dozen guards to ride to Phoenix Mountain.

More than an hour later, they arrived at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

"Childe said, let's go up the mountain quickly and have lunch on the mountain." Dongqing sent a message to the guards.

Naturally, the horses could not go up the mountain, so they left a guard to take care of them at the bottom of the mountain, and anyway, there were two inns at the bottom of the mountain, which were dedicated to receiving pilgrims from afar.

"It's not the first day of junior high school or the fifteenth year, is there any Dharma to be done on the mountain? There are so many people. Seeing the endless stream of people and the crowd of traffic at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, Li Yuntong arranged for a guard to inquire.

"It is said that today, the Ziyang Taoist Temple wants to pray for rain for Weizhou Mansion, and everyone comes to see the Heavenly Master to pray for rain, and wants to touch the aura of the gods by the way." The guard inquired about the news and came back and said, "Childe, why don't we come back another day, there are many people today, I'm afraid of bumping into you." ”

There are so many people, it is not convenient for them to guard, in case there is something, it is really troublesome.

Praying for rain requires people from the Taoist temple to open the altar, but that night the Taoist boy clearly said that the heavenly master had already gone with Xianyou...... Li Yuntong was very curious, she hadn't seen the altar open to pray for rain, so how could she miss it.

"If it's another day, I'm afraid I won't be able to come, so I can be idle today, it's okay, let's go up and see the excitement, you don't have to worry too much, no one knows my identity, and the young men here are not in the minority, in case something is wrong, with your skills or I will not be a problem."

She said this, and the guards had no choice but to raise their spirits, and transferred back the guards who arranged to watch the horses, and gave them an extra few dozen dollars to tell the people in the inn to take care of them carefully.

also invited three porters to help carry the luggage up the mountain, after all, no matter how simple and light the car is, Li Yuntong's identity is there, and many of the items used must be used to their own satisfaction.

Walking up the stairs, there is a platform on the mountain road where you can still see some Taoist aunts and Taoist priests selling things.

There are rune paper, pills, there are also dry goods in the mountains, fungus mushrooms and the like, no matter what business is sold, it is said that the things on the Phoenix Mountain have spirituality, the reason why the Ziyang Taoist Temple will be prosperous is also because it is a treasure of feng shui.

It's just because of this reason that everything is expensive, and a piece of rune paper costs a hundred yuan, which makes Dongqing staggering.

She whispered to Qiu Feng, "This price is too high, according to this calculation, if we travel all over the world, we can eat and drink without worrying with the rune paper drawn by Gongzi." ”

Li Yuntong heard it and replied to her with a smile, "What they sell is not ordinary rune paper, but the fame of this Ziyang Taoist Temple." ”

The tall porter smiled, "What the son said is that the rune paper of this Ziyang Taoist Temple is very spiritual, and it can ward off evil spirits when pasted on the door, and these rune papers are painted by the disciples of the Heavenly Master, so they are sold for a hundred Wen. ”

Dong Qing stuck out her tongue, "This is really a business." ”

On the way, I also met some scholars, one of whom was told for free that night.

He talked to his companions, "...... The heavenly master is so spiritual, of course he has to come and worship, if he is close to the rain when praying for rain, the spiritual rain will be wet, and he will definitely have very good luck, and he will definitely be high this time. ”

One of his companions questioned, "If the rain comes down, it will rain in the entire Weizhou Mansion, so why do you want to come to the mountains?" Is there any difference? ”

The scholar said disdainfully: "Of course there is a difference, this difference is big!" Phoenix Mountain is a treasure of feng shui! Every grass and tree here has a spirit, the heavenly master is here to worship the three emperors of heaven, earth and man, the Ming Five Classics to observe the stars and weft, study the art of alchemy, can drive away ghosts and pass the gods, can the rain here be the same as elsewhere? ”

Another companion also said, "That's it." If it weren't for the aura of Phoenix Mountain, the Heavenly Master would not have stayed in our Weizhou Mansion for three years, Brother Zhang, you only came to our Weizhou Mansion, it's not clear, come, listen to us tell you in detail......"

Seeing the scholars who were walking away, Dong Qing stuck out his tongue again, "What kind of heavenly master is so powerful, son, let's go up and worship quickly, maybe this road will be safe." ”

Li Yuntong smiled and didn't say much, and the group followed the pilgrims to the Ziyang Taoist Temple.

When I arrived at the Ziyang Taoist Temple, under the Temple of Heaven in front of the main hall praying for rain and blessings, it was already full of dense people, and people kept coming at the foot of the mountain, and then I thought that some people even began to bow outside the mountain gate, and there were only a few people who watched the excitement like themselves, and Li Yuntong's mind once again resurfaced the thought of that night: If this heavenly master wants to provoke a civil uprising, I am afraid that there will be countless echoes.

Her expression couldn't help but be a little solemn.

"Childe, but what's wrong?" Compared with Dong Qing's liveliness, Qiu Feng has always been silent, but she is very meticulous, and immediately noticed that Li Yuntong's face was a little wrong.

Li Yuntong shook his head, "It's nothing, just be careful." ”

"Just now those people said that this Heavenly Master's rune paper has always been a piece of money, and there are still people grabbing it, look at these people, I'm afraid that he has made a lot of money, no wonder he said a few Xianyou, and he was reluctant to leave." A young man muttered nearby.

He and Li Yuntong were all standing, because most people were kneeling, and people standing like them were very conspicuous.

Although the porters who put down the luggage did not kneel, they also shrunk their eyebrows, and their bodies were a little stiffer.

The porter who accosted him before kindly reminded a guard: "Big brother, you still say goodbye, this group of Taoist priests is very arrogant, since they occupy the Ziyang Taoist Temple, this Phoenix Mountain has almost become his family's territory, you don't look like a local, don't cause anything." ”

After all, Li Yuntong and his party look different in spirit, not to mention that they are all standing, and they can be distinguished from ordinary pilgrims at a glance.

Li Yuntong also knew that her gang was eye-catching, so she whispered to the guards to stand farther away, and she also took Dongqing and Qiufeng to an ancient pine. The terrain there is relatively high, and the situation on the Temple of Heaven can be seen clearly from a distance, and it is not as conspicuous as the crowd standing and bowing before.

But in this way, two arrogant Taoist priests came over and said to them: "The Heavenly Master is going to do things, pray for blessings and rain, you either go back and come back another day, or kneel down here to pray for rain together, today you can't enjoy the scenery on Phoenix Mountain, and the Taoist temple does not accept pilgrims." ”

"Praying for rain?" Li Yuntong looked at the clear sky and asked, "It's so sunny today, can it rain?" ”

"Of course, the Heavenly Master prays for rain and blessings, and the rain will come down in a while." Seeing that Li Yuntong and the others looked dressed ordinarily, but the material was good at first glance, the thin Taoist priest explained a little more patiently, "Every year, the weather is very good when my Heavenly Master prays for rain, but as soon as the Dharma is done, it will rain heavily. How else to say that the Heavenly Master has spiritual energy and can communicate with ghosts and gods. ”

The fat one also said, "If you want to go forward and bow down," he stretched out his hand, suggesting that Li Yuntong and the others would pay for it, "Follow us and we can go forward, ensure the best position, and wait for Lingyu to give you the rune paper in the Heavenly Master's hand." ”

Li Yuntong asked with a smile: "The price of such a good location should be a lot, right?" ”

The fat Taoist priest raised two fingers.

"Two bucks?" Li Yuntong gave a price that she thought was already outrageous.

The fat Taoist priest glanced at her with disdain, "This son, you look like a blessed person, how can you say such a thing?" That's the place at the feet of the Celestial Master, twenty runs—" he said in a procrastinating tone, "alone." ”

Listening to the price he said, Dongqing couldn't help but jump to his feet and said, "Twenty runs, it's still one person, why don't you grab it?" ”

The money has always been 1,000 copper coins, 20 yuan is 20,000 yuan, and a bucket of rice is only 4 yuan.

The fat Taoist priest got angry and said loudly: "You dare to slander the Heavenly Master? ”

As soon as these words came out, those people in the vicinity gathered around and accused, "Oh, how dare you young man be disrespectful to the master? It's really ignorant, and the masters drove him down the mountain. ”

"What's the rush? These people should be knocked down the mountain, otherwise in the future, everyone will dare to speak ill of the Heavenly Master, and it will be easy for the Heavenly Master to do it for our Weizhou Mansion. ”

"Yes, yes, knock them down the mountain, and see who dares to be disrespectful to the Heavenly Master in the future."

also kindly reminded: "Young man, go get some sesame oil money and make up for your mistakes." Lest the Heavenly Master blame him, you will not be able to afford it. ”

The guards gathered around.
