In the northwest of Fucheng, there are barren mountains and wild graves everywhere, and no one will come at all under normal times.

At this moment, a car stopped at the foot of the mountain, and a tall woman got out of the car and looked up at the steep mountain.

It's the end of the year, and the air is filled with the smell of burnt paper ashes, as well as the smell of incense candles and firecrackers.

In the past, there were no people coming at all, but people came and went around the New Year's Festival, and everyone came to worship their ancestors and go to the grave, one by one, wrapped in down jackets, dragging their families and shuttling in the smoke and dust.

Zhong Xueran's face was expressionless, she didn't come to worship her ancestors and sweep the tomb.

But...... For the Taoist temple here.

In the northwest of Fucheng, there is a small Chongyang view, which has been prosperous in the past, but it has been deserted recently.

The reason for the abandonment is that there is no successor, because the person in charge of the small Chongyang Temple is surnamed Zhong.

Over here...... It is the ancestral land of the Zhong family.

Zhong Xueran wrapped his windbreaker tightly and began to climb the mountain without saying a word.

The small Chongyang Temple is on the mountainside, there is no road to go up, and the vehicles are not passable, so you can only rely on two legs to climb up.

Along the way, the wind became stronger and stronger, and when Zhong Xue ran to the gate of the Taoist temple, he saw a completely different scene from what he imagined.

Why is the little Chongyang concept no longer that dilapidated appearance?

Zhong Xueran frowned slightly, looking at the obviously renovated Xiao Chongyang Temple in front of her, she was a little puzzled in her heart.

Under the shroud of hazy smoke, the ancient Taoist temple looks like a silhouette floating on a picture scroll, which is extremely silent and solemn.

The small Chongyang Temple in memory has long been dusty, cobwebs are vertical and horizontal, and even the clay sculptures in the Taoist temple are incomplete, and they are not what they are now.

This is the private property of the Zhong family, and she is now the only descendant of the Zhong family, how can anyone stay in the Little Chongyang Temple without her consent?

Even, this place has begun to receive pilgrims again, and most of the people who come to the barren mountains to sweep the tombs and worship their ancestors will also come here by the way, but it seems that the small Chongyang view is quite lively.

Zhong Xueran was puzzled, she glanced around, the people who came to the Little Chongyang Temple were indeed ordinary people, everyone went in and out, and some were visiting this Taoist temple that came back from the dead, but there was nothing unusual.

She stepped into the gate of the Taoist temple.

"Donor? Donor? ”

By the door, a confidant whispered.

Zhong Xueran stopped and turned his head to look.

"How?" Zhong Xueran asked.

Her voice was cold and cold, giving people a feeling that they were not getting along with.

Come to think of it, anyone who suddenly finds out that their "things" have been redressed and stolen by others will not be too happy.

What's more, Zhong Xueran made a special trip to find something.

This place has been renovated from the inside out, and what you are looking for is likely to be taken away.

"Donor, please buy a ticket."

Zhike Xiaodao detective said.

Zhong Xueran followed his hand and looked at the sign next to the door, which was clearly written in black and white-

[Little Chongyang View, 10 yuan ticket].

I still have to pay money when I enter my Taoist temple?

This made Zhong Xue gassy laugh.

She took out ten yuan, handed it to the Zhike Xiaodao at the door, and took a small piece of paper from him that was considered a ticket and a receipt.

"Excuse me, who is the owner of this Taoist temple?"

Zhong Xueran asked with a smile.

Zhike Xiaodao is not very old, and he looks like he has just entered college, although Zhong Xueran is asking with a smile, but listening to his ears, there is a little more chill.

Xiaodao looked up at the lady in a trench coat in front of him, she had a high nose and very handsome facial features, this lady was more suitable for neatness than words like pretty.

Xiaodao didn't know Zhong Xueran's origin, but he also returned truthfully: "The surname of the master is Li, and it is ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Xueran had already stepped into the Taoist temple and walked directly towards the Qing Xiu room in the backyard.

It's not the surname Zhong.

"Wait...... Wait a minute! Donor! ”

Xiaodao wanted to stop Zhong Xueran, but he couldn't leave the door without permission, so he could only shout dryly.

Seeing Zhong Xueran's familiar appearance, and then contacting Zhong Xueran's question just now, it was difficult not to suspect that this lady had come to find fault.

At this moment, Zhong Xueran had already entered the backyard.

It's not open to pilgrims, but how could it be stopped?

Pushing open the door of the ashram, a man in a yellow robe who looked to be only thirty or forty years old was sitting cross-legged on a futon.

Zhong Xueran raised her eyebrows and asked, "My name is Zhong Xueran, Zhong Xuming is my grandfather, and Xiao Chongyangguan belongs to the Zhong family." ”

She gets straight to the point.

But I saw that the Taoist who was sitting on the futon opened his eyes, grinned, and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "In terms of seniority, I can call you a senior nephew, your father Zhong Baifeng is my senior brother." ”

Zhong Xueran was stunned.

But she quickly reacted, stared at the Taoist on the futon, and said, "You are lying, my father was personally taught by my grandfather, and the Zhong family will not accept disciples with foreign surnames." ”

Who knew that this Li Daochang laughed, shook his head and said, "Little Miss Zhong, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other." Your father is into the Zhong family, the former common name is Zhang Baifeng, and I worshiped the Chongxu Temple in the south of the city, and after he married your mother, he changed his surname and called Zhong Baifeng. ”

"So what!"

Zhong Xueran's eyes were like snow particles shining in the sun, and when he heard the Taoist surnamed Li in front of him speak, he was still unmoved.

"The little Chongyang Temple belongs to the Zhong family, why do you occupy the magpie's nest?"

"Miss Zhong is serious, please take a seat," the Taoist surnamed Li was not angry, but explained with a smile, "Miss Zhong doesn't know, the Little Chongyang Temple is a registered Taoist temple, and it must not be abandoned." Over the years, the Fucheng official has been registering the Taoist to take over, but the small Chongyang Temple is seriously damaged, and no one wants to pay for the repair. ”

Zhong Xue was stunned, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided, this Taoist surnamed Li was telling the truth.

Indeed, there is such a stipulation that the registered Taoist temples cannot be abandoned, and once no one is in charge, they can be taken into official ownership and moved in by the official appointment of Taoists.

She sat down cross-legged and asked, "Daochang Li, are you officially assigned?" ”

"Yes, yes." Daochang Li nodded.

"Is the repair fee of the Little Chongyang Temple officially from Fucheng?" Zhong Xueran continued to ask.

"No......" Daochang Li shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This Taoist temple was only renovated half a year ago, and it was not completed until recently. ”

Moon City?

Doubts flashed in Zhong Xueran's eyes, what did the non-governmental organizations in Yuecheng do donate money to the Taoist temple in Fucheng?

Wait a minute......

Zhong Xueran's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Daoist Li, is it also the non-governmental organization in Yuecheng who is responsible for the renovation here?" ”

Daochang Li nodded: "That's right." ”

Zhong Xueran's face was ugly, this level of renovation must have been turned upside down, and the [Pupil Realm Secrets] handed down by the ancestors were probably taken away by the other party.

The non-governmental organization in that Moon City was definitely prepared.

"May I ask the chief, the name of the civil society organization is ......?"

Li Daochang thought about it carefully and said, "Paleontology Research Association, that's the name. ”
