Small town inn, the facilities are relatively simple.

These are assets that have been passed down from generation to generation, and there are also local residents whose ancestors have sold their houses and fields to others and moved their families to larger cities.

The counter on the first floor is located next to the staircase, and five black tables are placed in the vacant space. It is estimated that it is several generations older than the current owner.

The shopkeeper was an old man with gray hair, dressed in a black satin robe, but still rolled up his sleeves like an old peasant, holding an ancestral purple dry chimney in his hand.

Li Qinglang sat quietly, holding the pot owner's home-brewed rice roast in his hand, dual-purpose:

The left ear listened to Shangguan Ling's count of his own junior sister; With his right ear, listen to the owner and a table of visitors tell local stories.

"Alright, don't count her down. Otherwise, I'd be embarrassed to myself. ”

Li Qinglang sighed, looked at the two friends who came from thousands of miles away, and said with a wry smile.

Shangguan Ling, who had taught his sister for a long time, had no choice but to stop talking, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The saved Shangguan Jinse hurriedly approached the senior brother, and said under his grateful eyes: Even if you have a little conscience, I didn't help you in vain.

"So now there are eyebrows?"

Yutai Feifei said softly, since she heard the news, she had also inquired about the information of the Immortal Concept. Even her imperial brother said that the strength of the concept of immortality is average, but the origin is deep and cannot be investigated.

"Nope."

Li Qinglang smiled guiltily, "So I didn't plan to tell you before." But my mother doesn't agree, so she has to find me a partner. I thought she only called her junior sister, but she really delayed you. ”

"I'm out of the way, I'm idle at home anyway. I had to be called by the three emperor brothers to do all kinds of things. ”

Feifei held her chin with her hands and looked at Xiao Yu in his arms.

"It's our Miss Shangguan, who has been very busy lately."

"Oh? I'm mortal now, but I can't see what kind of realm you are now. Presumably, Shangguan should be in the late Yuan Infant period, or has he turned into a god? ”

Li Qinglang looked at a few people curiously.

Shangguan Ling smiled faintly and said, "It's still the late Yuan Infant stage, but it's almost there." ”

Feifei hugged Xiao You over and said regretfully, "It's a pity." Originally, you had a chance to compete with them. Now I don't know how much behind. ”

"What realm is Long Tiannan in now? And the locust? ”

"Long Tiannan, like me, is close to the gods. Daohuai took a slow step, and soon stepped into the late Yuan Infant period. ”

Shangguan Ling lowered his eyebrows and drank wine, who could believe that this mortal in front of him could overpower the two above a few years ago?

It's unpredictable.

"Shi also. Life also. ”

Li Qinglang's tone also revealed a sigh, although his mentality has relaxed a lot, but who would like the feeling of falling from the altar?

He also wants to go back to the days of cultivating immortals! It's a pity that I can't even compare to a character in my pen.

"The rain has stopped, let's go."

Looking at the rain curtain that stopped outside the door, Li Qinglang slowly got up.

"Hmm."

Shangguan Jinse nodded, turned over his hand and took out two oil-paper umbrellas, and handed one of them to his senior brother.

There is only one small Taoist temple in Qingcheng City, covering an area of no more than ten acres, and it also counts the large tea forest in the garden and the back mountain.

However, this small Taoist temple is the ancestral court of the entire Western Regions!

Unlike other clans, the concept of immortality does not limit elders and disciples to one place, but allows and encourages elders to open Taoist temples outside.

There are no rules on the shape, size, etc., it all depends on personal ability. There is a distinction only in the Taoist system:

Similarly, regardless of the shape and size, only the Dao vein of the Patriarch Hall can add a sentence after the name of the Taoist temple: the concept of eternal life.

Originally, Li Qinglang planned not to wait for the two friends to go in first, but Shangguan Jinse said that he was afraid of being put on the road, and he waited for the two sisters to feel more at ease.

When he arrived at the entrance, Li Qinglang raised his umbrella slightly, and saw three big characters written on the plaque: Immortal Concept!

He, a layman, can only look at the penmanship in the calm and peaceful, not sharp. In the eyes of the three Shangguan Ling, it is a strong sense of Taoism, accumulating but not dispersing

On both sides of the steps, there is a stone lion with moss marks, and the mouth is covered with stone beads, which is impressive.

Li Qinglang walked up the steps and was about to knock on the door, but saw that the door automatically opened inward, and it turned out that a young man in Taoist clothes had come to meet him.

"The trail is polite. Please come with me. ”

Li Qinglang looked back at the three of them in surprise: Is there really this unpredictable prophetic technique, and this viewer knows that we are coming?

After a little hesitation, he followed the pace of the little Taoist, and Li Qinglang asked, "May I ask the little Taoist, what do you call it?" ”

While leading the way, the little Taoist priest half-turned around and saluted, "It's good for the guest to call me An Xin." ”

"The wings are ready. If you need three meals, you can also send someone to deliver them. It's just that the dining hall has a fixed time every day, and if you miss it, it's gone. Then there is the food in the view, which has a lighter taste. ”

All the way through the corridor, it began to rain again outside.

Li Qinglang, who came to the wing room with An Xin, couldn't help frowning and said, "Actually, we are here to see the Lord." ”

But the former did not answer, but opened the door for several people, and handed them the key and the lock.

"Xiaodao left first."

An Xin made a gesture and turned to leave.

Shangguan Jinse was a little confused, stepped forward and patted his senior brother on the shoulder and said suspiciously, "Are we being turned away?" This, this, and this don't count. ”

Feifei was the first to enter the wing room, which had little space: a square table, four benches, a bed and a bedside cabinet, which was better than neatness.

Then there is a sticker hanging on the wall, with the word 'quiet' written in large strokes.

"Either they want to test us, or they just want us to be interesting and leave by ourselves."

She reached out and touched the table, then rubbed her fingers and said, "It's clean, it should have been cleaned." ”

Shangguan Jinse hurriedly said, "What should I do?" We can't afford to come here for nothing, can we? ”

"What's the hurry. We haven't even seen the Lord now. ”

Shangguan Ling said slowly, "Stay for a few nights first." If it doesn't work, why don't you just go and earn some money to find him? ”

"Yes, no matter which one Fei Fei says is right, you will know everything after a few days."

Li Qinglang nodded, even though he was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, "Anyway, I want this room facing the courtyard!" ”

On the other side, after An Xin led a few guests to the wing room, he turned left and right, and came to a side hall somewhere in the temple.

Standing outside the door, he said, "Master, several guests have already been taken to the wings. ”

"yes, okay."

A kind voice came from the hall, and after a pause, he said, "Remember to ask Cao Meng's three guys not to run to harass the guests again." ”

"Yes."

"Stand down."

After An Xin left, there was soon another boy dressed in Taoist clothes, only five or six years old.

I saw that his steps were strange, often only a few steps to cross a large distance. When he came to the door, he didn't see how he moved, and the door of the temple opened automatically.

And in the hall, the crane-haired and child-faced old man who was kneeling cross-legged on the futon and holding a snow-white dusty stalk immediately got up and came to the door to greet him.

"I've seen the Lord."

The boy nodded slightly, and then stepped into the side hall.

The contemplator of the concept of immortality is actually a child? Shouldn't it?!

"Josser, have they arrived?"

Qiu Ze, isn't this name the Lord of the Immortal Concept? If there are outsiders here, they will definitely be confused by the relationship between the two: who is the viewer?

The boy went straight to the altar, but he didn't pay homage, but just put his hands behind his back and looked at the portraits of the ancestors hanging on it.

Delicate and with some fleshy appearance, with the old posture and his deep eyes like the sea, coupled with the old Taoist priest who bowed slightly behind him, the scene was very weird.

"It's here. It has been arranged to stay in the West Wing. ”

Qiu Ze said slowly, his eyes full of respect. But not to the portraits, but to the boy in front of him.

"Lord, why do we bother with these things?"

Qiu Ze was a little puzzled, he had never heard of what the Lord would care about?

The boy didn't say anything, turned around, and actually revealed a little kind of love on his face?

"Let's wait a few days."

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and Li Qinglang, who had been saying that he was in a hurry, also began to fidget, and then there was a Shangguan Jinse arching fire.

After the four of them finished lunch, they went out directly and walked in the direction of the main hall.

Twisting and turning, I only met three young Taoist priests along the way, which shows that the number of people in this temple is small.

When I came to the outside of the main hall, I still didn't see anyone. This made Li Qinglang wonder if he was dreaming: Could it be that he had entered a ghost view?

The door was open, and before I reached the door, I could already smell a pungent smell of incense, which was strong, but not offensive.

On the contrary, I felt that the strange fragrance in it smelled very pleasant.

When you walk into the temple, you will see the high altar. The four were a little shocked because they didn't see any idols.

What is enshrined on the altar is actually a calligraphy, thick ink and heavy brushwork, wanton and high-spirited.

One word on the book: Tao!

In front of the god platform, Qiu Ze took his back with one hand, his back to the temple door, and stared straight at the word.

After Li Qinglang was surprised, he and the rest of the people bowed to the very Taoist word. During this period, Qiu Ze dodged many times to prevent himself from being in the middle.

"Spectator?"

"Come on."

Qiu Ze turned his head and beckoned kindly, "Would you like to put incense on it?" ”

"You don't take any money, do you?"

Shangguan Jinse asked vigilantly.

Qiu Ze was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Don't charge money." Pilgrims come here, except for their own incense, everything inside the temple is free. ”

took out more than a dozen fragrances and divided them one by one, but when Li Qinglang arrived, Qiu Ze suddenly paused. As if he sensed something, he took the incense back.

"You don't have to put on incense."

"Why?"

Li Qinglang was puzzled, was this really an eviction order? Don't even let the incense go?

"You have a relationship with this view, you don't need incense."

Qiu Ze couldn't say for sure, so he could only find a random excuse to prevaricate.

Isn't it better to be incensed? Although he didn't understand it, Li Qinglang didn't say anything if he asked for it.

After everyone finished offering incense, Qiu Ze led a few people to wander around the temple.

"Actually, Miss Shangguan and Princess Shantai can go back first, and Li Qinglang will have nothing to do here."

Joser smiled, "He's here, and he's going to stay for a while." ”
