Dongfang Chen was looking at the familiar appearance in a daze with teary eyes, and quietly, stretched out three incense sticks from the side.

A warm and magnetic voice sounded: "This gentleman, come from afar to mourn, tirelessly." Poor Dao thanked Ouyang Jushi first.

Please mourn, come, and put incense on the pillars for the laymen. ”

Dongfang Chen turned his head and saw that he was a young Taoist priest, wearing a tattered Taoist robe full of patches, but his hair was meticulous, his eyebrows revealed a sense of helplessness and sadness, but the corners of his mouth were forced to smile.

Dongfang Chen took the three pillars of incense, nodded to the Taoist priest to express his gratitude, and then lit the incense on the ever-bright lamp and inserted it in the incense burner.

After kowtowing three more times, Dongfang Chen whimpered: "Grandma, Ah Chen has come to see you." ”

The Taoist priest was obviously stunned, straightened up and bowed to Dongfang Chen: "It turns out that the filial son is here, and he is not welcome!"

Then he stood up, walked out of the door of the hall, and lectured to the group of little Taoist priests outside the door: "What kind of system do you want to act like this?"

Qingsong, why did the Lingbao Sutra stop? Hua Bao, bring your mobile phone, what Poor Dao said, it will be confiscated next time. I've only had lunch, why are they listless?

Hurry up, get moving, and give food and chemical treasures!"

The eight Taoist priests in front of the hall were in a commotion, and they all went their own way. After a while, in the small courtyard, incense curled and chanting was surging, and the atmosphere of white things was finally restored.

The grief has already been grieved, and the emotions in his heart have also been released, at this time, Dongfang Chen can't look for death and cry loudly, stood up and walked to the Taoist priest's side, saluted and asked, "I haven't consulted, Dao Elder Venerable." ”

The young Taoist priest returned the salute: "Oh, don't dare to be. Poor Dao Dao source, Sanqingguan is in charge. What do you call you?"

Dongfang Chen because of the relationship between the Seven Stars View, but also a little bit of Chinese Taoism, called the Taoist Taoist Temple of Sanqingguan, there are quite a lot of them in China, the most famous is the one in Dalian City, but I can't remember when Taibai Mountain has a Sanqingguan?

Dao Yuan seemed to see Dongfang Chen's doubts, and explained with a smile: "Oh, it's just a small place, and not many people know about it. In fact, a long time ago, this view was called Yuntai View, time passed, people were cold, Yuntai View was destroyed, and now there is only a small Sanqing Palace left, and then call the real name, just add to the joke.

It is better to change the name to Sanqingguan, idle clouds and wild cranes, self-cultivation, planting fields, weeding, or good, hehe, too. ”

Dongfang Chen was slightly stunned, quite sympathetic to Daoyuan's words, and then made a gesture of invitation: "Yuntai View? It must be a long time, it must be a holy place for immortals."

It just so happens that I am restless, so it is better to go out for a walk with the Taoist chief and visit the Guibao Temple. ”

Daoyuan did not shirk, he led the way first, talked with Dongfang Chen, and slowly walked out of the courtyard.

After a while, the two of them had gone deep into the mountains and forests, and most of them were Daoyuan speaking along the way, introducing the beautiful scenery of Taibai Mountain and what beautiful legends there were.

Along the way, from time to time, agents in various costumes appeared from the shadows, except for interrogating Dongfang Chen, they didn't bother Dao Yuan at all. Not only that, but everyone respected Dao Yuan very much, and they bowed down one after another, praising the Taoist.

Whenever someone checked, it was Dao Yuan who helped explain, and those people were all convinced by what they said, and they only skimmed the scene and disappeared into the dense forest, Dongfang Chen didn't even have a chance to interject.

"I didn't expect that the prestige of the Taoist is very high. ”

Dongfang Chen said with a smile.

Dao Yuan smiled: "Sanqingguan is in the back mountain here, poor Dao is the master, you are the guests." Huh!"

Dongfang Chen asked again, "Dao Chief, do you know your grandmother?"

Dao Yuan became proud: "Don't just know, Chongci is still a layman of the Three Qingguan."

Alas, unexpectedly, not long after getting along with the old man, she went away. ”

Dongfang Chen was eager to know the details of his grandmother's life in the last ten years at this time, so he said eagerly: "Oh, layman, can you tell me about it?"

Dao Yuan was visibly excited and began to tell bit by bit.

It turned out that Dongfang Chen's grandmother, Ms. Ouyang, was in a very sad mood when she first came to this place with her granddaughter seventeen years ago.

Imagine, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, only a pair of grandchildren remained, and the eldest grandson Dongfang Chen had to leave for his life, the old lady's mood can be imagined? If it weren't for the fact that there was still a young granddaughter to take care of, I was afraid that I would have found a short-term meeting long ago.

For the sake of her granddaughter Dongfang Ting, Ms. Ouyang had to grit her teeth and get through.

At first, she was very repulsive about everything in this place, including the shelter, the environment, the food, the security guards who appeared from time to time, and even every tree and grass here, she was full of intense hatred. But she had to live in torment, because she wanted to show her overly frightened granddaughter the strongest side and the warmest smile.

One day, the old lady was unaccustomed to the water and soil, suffered a little mountain wind, fell ill, and continued to have a high fever, no matter how much the security team tried its best to get better.

What's worse is that the old lady has been listed as a dead person by the household registration department at this time, and it is impossible to go to Yamashita Hospital to avoid possible retaliation from the A3 organization. It would take nearly three days for a medical professional to be sent into the mountains, and the slightest misoperation would expose them to the "polyp" system of the A3 organization.

Seeing that the old lady had a high fever and was already in a semi-comatose state, at the moment when everyone was anxious, an agent brought in a young Taoist. This Taoist priest is the source of the Dao!

Allowing strangers to enter a national-level security area is a serious disciplinary violation. Although everyone is familiar with Daoyuan Dao Chang, a native of the locals, in that tense period, without the instructions of the superiors, who would dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step?

But all the agents sympathized with the two grandchildren, left everything behind, and unanimously decided to save the people first.

Daoyuan Dao Chang lived up to expectations, just went out for a while, collected some herbs, boiled them into soup and poured them into the old lady, and took out a set of silver needles to administer acupuncture to some acupuncture points in the old man's house.

Within half an hour, Ms. Ouyang's high fever was completely subsided and she was out of danger.

Then Daoyuan drifted away, and all the agents, including the old lady and the little granddaughter, were all grateful and respected him more and more in the depths of their hearts.

After the higher-ups learned of this, in addition to strengthening the level of medical care here, they also recorded a major demerit in the agent who had found Daoyuan without authorization, and transferred him from the original core position to the field service to become a forest ranger.

After Ms. Ouyang recovered, she deliberately found Daoyuan's place of cultivation: Sanqingguan, and ran to thank her.

In fact, the farmhouse courtyard where the old lady lives, not far from Sanqingguan, are all in the same mountain, the relationship between the front mountainside and the back mountaintop, but the road is quite difficult to walk, and there is no road at all in some places, only the string of footprints that the herb pickers have stepped out for many years.

Ms. Ouyang insisted on seeing it and insisted on coming to the door to thank her, but everyone couldn't resist it, so she had to ask her superiors.

With the consent of his superiors, accompanied by several young men, he climbed to the top of the mountain and walked into the dilapidated small Taoist temple.

Those who come are guests, and Daoyuan certainly welcomes the visit of the group.

The old lady saw Sanqingguan in such a situation, and saw the life-saving benefactor's broken road clothes full of patches, so without saying a word, she said on the spot that she would donate all her savings to Sanqingguan. Anyway, with Ms. Ouyang's current situation, it is useless to keep the money.

Daoyuan just shook his head and refused politely, saying that he would not accept the donation. Instead, he talked eloquently, telling the true Taoist principles of pure heart and few desires, guarding against arrogance and rashness, and self-cultivation. And pointed out Ms. Ouyang's obsession at this moment: injuries are easy to treat, but heart disease is difficult to get rid of!

Seeing that it was getting late and late, Ms. Ouyang had no intention of leaving, but chatted with the Taoist chief more and more speculatively, and finally fell to her knees, begging Dao Yuan to turn into her and accept her as a disciple.

Now that the agents who accompanied him quit, the target of the protection actually wanted to become a Taoist priest? This must be known to the superiors, and the dismissal will be light.

In the end, the two sides reached a compromise plan, the old lady was exempted from becoming a monk, but she could place an order in Sanqingguan as a layman, and she could be counted as a lay disciple of Daoyuan. You can come to Sanqingguan whenever you want to find Daoyuan to discuss philosophical issues, and Daoyuan can also enter and exit the heavily guarded farmhouse courtyard at any time.

In this way, the friendship between Dao Yuan and Ouyang Jushi lasted for a full seventeen years, until the old lady Xianyou.

Because the old lady was born in a scholarly family and has a high level of cultural literacy, in the past 17 years, the two have often talked about the world and the present. The old lady told Daoyuan about the new things beyond the mountain, and the Taoist chief took the laymen to comprehend the way of heaven and earth.

Gradually, Ms. Ouyang finally got out of the haze of losing her children and grandchildren and breaking her family. Not only that, but she has never shown the sorrow of her old age, planting vegetables and flowers in her spare time, feeding birds and watching fish, and living a dusty life in her twilight years.

Dongfang Chen's collection of thousands of grandmother videos and images are all carefree and energetic scenes. This is also the motivation for Dongfang Chen to run around for 17 years and do things with peace of mind.

After listening to Daoyuan's narration, Dongfang Chen felt a lot of feelings.

He never thought that in the last ten years of his grandmother's life, she would untie the knot in her heart, let her rekindle her hope, and the person who accompanied her to talk was the Taoist in front of her.

Dongfang Chen immediately straightened his posture and bowed deeply to Dao Yuan.

Then he choked up and said, "Thank you, thank you Daoyuan Daoist!"
