Chapter 4: The Temple of Suffering
Liao Po looked at the Taoist priest and let out a dry laugh, her smile seemed to hide countless deep meanings, and she did not continue to ask, but turned around and said, "Okay, let's enjoy the blind old woman's bowl of water." ”
Seeing this, the Taoist priest couldn't refuse anymore, slowly dodged his body, and moved out of an empty space for people to walk, and my mother-in-law did not leave me, but walked to the courtyard with broken steps.
I raised my head from behind to look at the Taoist priest, my heart was horizontal, anyway, it has come to this point, and I can't go back, enter!
Mother-in-law's eyes basically can't see anything clearly during the day, but at this moment, the mother-in-law's eyes are directly in the direction of the Da Luo Bao Palace, looking at the Sanqing statue in the Da Luo Bao Palace, wrinkling her nose, she said: "What a vigorous incense." ”
The Taoist priest did not speak beside him, but waited for the next sentence from his mother-in-law, who faced the sunshine, moved her body, and said, "This side is the hall of salvation." ”
The Taoist priest let out a soft "um".
"Which immortal is offered to the Temple of Suffering?" The mother-in-law continued to ask.
"Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun." The Taoist priest still replied without being salty
"The incense in the Temple of Salvation is more vigorous, isn't it?" The mother-in-law still asked expressionlessly.
The Taoist priest was already surrounded by his mother-in-law's question, and said: "Mrs. Liao, you said that you are not a Taoist priest, why are you asking so much?" ”
A smile squeezed out of the mother-in-law's face and said, "Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, right, Lingbao Tianzun, tsk, no." ”
The Taoist priest's face was a little tense, and he said with displeasure: "Taoist blessed land, how can you be allowed to desecrate like this?" Don't rely on our relationship and talk nonsense. ”
The mother-in-law didn't seem to be angry, but said, "Let's go, the water hasn't been drunk yet." ”
Without saying a word, the Taoist priest turned around and led the way, followed by my mother-in-law and I, all the way to the guest room, where an unintelligible painting hung directly opposite the guest room. The Taoist priest fell on the main seat, and my mother-in-law and I sat in the guest seat, and the Taoist priest instructed the little Taoist boy to make some new tea, but the mother-in-law stopped drinking.
The mother-in-law said: "The red tape of your cultural people, my mother-in-law in the mountains and fields is not used to it, just a bowl of well water." ”
The Taoist priest continued to insist: "This is the most basic treatment for our guests, and Liao Po must not refuse." ”
After listening, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mother-in-law's mouth, and she did not continue to insist.
After a while, a bowl of tea came to me with a curling tea smell, and my mother-in-law just smelled it and put it aside.
The Taoist priest asked, "I've been walking for a day, and the tea has come, why don't you drink it yet?" ”
Liao Po raised her eyelids, stared at the Taoist priest with cloudy eyes, and said, "What? I hurry up and drink, and hurry up and leave after drinking? Is that so? ”
The Taoist priest exhaled a long breath, seemed to endure the unhappiness in his heart, and said, "You have been here today, and you have been talking with a gun and a stick, why did I provoke you?" ”
Liao Po laughed and said, "Isn't it okay for cultivators to be so irritable? ”
For a while, the Taoist priest was also choked and speechless.
The mother-in-law stood up, turned her back to the Taoist priest, and continued: "You said that I spoke with a gun and a stick? Hehe, you really deceived my mother-in-law to be blind! I arrived at the gate of your Jinluan Palace, the expression on your face was ugly than eating, what do you think of me? Do you think I can't see your expression? Don't worry, I'm blind, but my heart is smart! ”
The Taoist priest was choked again, and he didn't continue to argue with his mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law seemed to feel the Taoist priest's mood fluctuations, and continued: "Presumably you know why I came this time, right? ”
The Taoist priest looked up at me sharply, and I was shocked when I saw it, and at this moment I felt like a dead star, being pushed around, and no one wanted to ask for it.
In an instant, the Taoist priest's gaze returned to the peace he had just now, cleared his throat, and said, "I know, but I can't." ”
Liao Po didn't say anything, but walked to the painting she saw before entering the door, stretched out her dry hand, touched it, and made a "swish" sound on the painting with her dry palm.
The Taoist priest stopped drinking again and said, "What are you going to do?" This is a god idol, you can't be so blasphemous. ”
The mother-in-law was still rubbing and said, "Statues? Do you have an idol in your heart? ”
The Taoist priest forcibly stabilized his mind, and looked at the slightly twitching nose, I knew that the Taoist priest had been pressing the fire, and the mother-in-law did not seem to intend to let the Taoist priest go.
The mother-in-law suddenly said thoughtfully: "Your painting is a picture of Chaoyuan, right?" ”
"If you want to know what it is, don't touch it." The Taoist priest said impatiently.
Without warning, my mother-in-law took my hand and said, "Hear me, right? This is called the Chaoyuan map, and the picture on it is to save the bitter grandfather, save the bitter grandfather, not to save the suffering. ”
After speaking, the mother-in-law's tone changed, and she asked with a hint of toughness, "How many years have you been cultivating?" ”
"Half a lifetime."
"How many years have you been in charge?"
"Twelve Years"
The mother-in-law snorted lukewarmly and said, "Twelve years, a good age." ”
Without waiting for the Taoist priest to react, the mother-in-law began to ask questions like a cannon.
"Where is the idol?"
The Taoist priest was stunned by a series of questions from his mother-in-law, and said, "Statue? Isn't it in front of you? ”
The mother-in-law laughed, and there seemed to be endless ridicule in the laughter, and turned around and said, "!" In vain, you have practiced for half your life, the statues of the gods are all clay sculptures, the true god should be hidden in the bottom of the heart, there is no god in the heart, no matter how much your incense is sheng, it is also a shell, and I ask you, did you save this child in the first place? ”
The Taoist priest nodded with a flushed face.
The mother-in-law said: "Okay, you can admit it, you saved him at the beginning, and then sent him to me, and I sent people back today, don't you know why?" ”
The Taoist priest couldn't suppress the fire at the moment, and said loudly: "Didn't I send it to you to save him?" You and the Five Immortals of the Northeast are world friends, for your sake, why don't you save his life? Are you here questioning me if there is a God in my heart? How did I not! ”
The mother-in-law glanced at it meaningfully, and said word by word: "The Huang family broke my law." ”
The Taoist priest was in a daze, and his mother-in-law ignored him, but took care of herself and learned the process of the Huang family's breaking the law.
After a while, the Taoist priest said: "You don't give face, this cause and effect is too deep, do you know, the bell must be tied to the bell, and you and I are not good at interfering in this matter." ”
The mother-in-law said smoothly: "I came all the way to listen to your nonsense?" You know, I don't know? ”
The Taoist priest thought for a moment and said, "Then what do you want to do?" ”
"I can't protect him, you have to do the rest." The mother-in-law's expression was a little moved.
"If I could have saved him, why should I send it to you? I can't take care of it! "The Taoist priest was pinched by his mother-in-law from the beginning, and finally broke out at this moment.
The mother-in-law's skills were suddenly surprisingly vigorous, and she stretched out her hand, grabbed the Taoist priest's robe, and went directly to the door of the guest room, pointed to the couplet on the sign, and said sharply, you read it to me, what is written on it?!
"The East Pole Cizun releases auspicious light and leads, and Nandan really points to the cloud road to superbirth." The Taoist priest hummed his lips and said softly.
The mother-in-law grabbed the Taoist priest away and said, "I thought you had forgotten everything you had learned." ”
The Taoist priest tidied up his wrinkled collar and said impatiently: "I just forgot who I am, and I can't forget what I do. ”
The mother-in-law continued: "Is the dead Huang family considered a soul? ”
"Count."
My mother-in-law pointed at me and said, "His father, his grandfather, is it considered a wronged soul?" ”
"Count."
The mother-in-law's anger at the moment was almost bursting, and she said: "You have Lingbao Tianzun hanging everywhere, is Lingbao Tianzun the soul of the wrong?" ”
"Yes!"
"Lingbao Tianzun doesn't cross the soul, are you still a fart?" The mother-in-law's words made the Taoist priest like a deflated ball, and nodded weakly.
The mother-in-law's emotions became more and more intense, and she said, "Do you still know what your Taoist should do?" When you were at the gate of the mountain, you looked at us like, is this your Dao heart! ”
The Taoist priest seemed to give up all thoughts, nodded, and said: "Don't go crazy here, when you're old, don't be angry with yourself, he and the Huang family are cause and effect, why shouldn't I and him?" I promise you that with my life's cultivation, I will also protect him. ”
The mother-in-law spent so much effort, just waiting for this sentence, nodded, and said, "I hope you can keep your promise." ”
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."
A long Taoist horn sounded like a heavy response from a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest turned his head, looked at me meaningfully, and said, "You and I have a fate in our lives, it's okay to stay here, but you have to listen to me, I have three precepts here." ”
