Taixu Temple is the largest Taoist temple in Dongling, located in the valley surrounded by mountains on three sides under Jiufeng Mountain, which is more than ten kilometers away from the southwest of Dongling City, the Taoist Temple sits in the north and faces south, there is a front hall and a back hall, as well as dormitories and guest rooms, it is regarded as a medium-sized Taoist temple.

In the main hall, Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun are enshrined, and the side hall is enshrined in Fulu Shou Three Immortals.

Taixuguan is the only Taoist temple in Dongling City, legend has it that Lu Zu once preached here, and became famous for this, has been the peak of incense, there are quite a lot of believers, there is an immortal well in the view, many believers go to the temple to offer incense, they will fill a bottle of fairy water from the well and go back, hoping to drink it to be healthy and long-lived.

Li Daqing parked his car in the parking lot, bought two tickets for 20 yuan, and when he entered the mountain gate, he saw a stall selling incense and candles next to him, and there was a huge incense burner in front of the main hall, and a lot of incense candles were inserted in the incense burner, and the cigarette smoke was swirling.

Although it is not a holiday, there are dozens of tourists who come to Taixu Palace to offer incense, and the two of them bought 20 yuan incense candles and lit them, bowed down and inserted them in the incense burner, and then followed the tourists into the main hall.

There was a table next to the pillar at the entrance of the main hall, and a middle-aged Taoist priest squinted his eyes and observed the tourists one by one, and when he saw Li Daqing coming, holding a leather bag in his hand, like a boss, his eyes lit up, and he beckoned Li Daqing to pass.

Li Daqing and Qi Feiyang looked at each other, walked over and sat on the stool opposite the Taoist priest, and asked, "Is the Taoist looking for me?" ”

The Taoist priest stared at Li Daqing and said, "This donor, I look at your complexion, Yintang is black, I'm afraid there will be a disaster recently!" ”

"Yes, what kind of plague is it?"

"Bloodlight Calamity!" The Taoist priest said: "However, since the donor and the poor Dao have a fateful meeting, the poor Dao can do things to eliminate disasters for the donor. ”

"Oh, how much does it cost?"

"The donor only needs to spend 8,888 yuan, and the poor road can do large-scale rituals for the donor to bless the safety of the donor and his family."

"That's a lot of money!" Li Daqing frowned, deliberately pretending to be very embarrassed.

"The so-called sacrificing wealth to eliminate disasters naturally costs money, and it costs a lot of money to eliminate disasters!"

"But I'm just a part-time worker, so I don't have that much money."

"Oh, the donor can also do a small ritual, only 3,888 yuan, and the poor road will be 49 consecutive days, reciting the scriptures for the donor every day, and eliminating the disaster for the donor and his family."

Li Daqing saw that Qi Feiyang was on the side and didn't speak, worried about delaying his business, so he stood up.

When the Taoist priest saw that he was leaving, he hurriedly said: "The donor is slow, if the donor is really short of money, there is a disaster elimination charm here, and it only costs 88 yuan." ”

"Thank you for the long time, we still have some things to do, so we're leaving."

When the two entered the main hall, they saw a table on the side of the door, where a Taoist priest in his 50s was sitting, with a yellowed thread-bound book and a stick holder with dozens of bamboo sticks inserted in the stick.

When the Taoist priest saw them coming in, he immediately beckoned to them and said, "Two donors, come here to ask for a lot, and the sign here is very accurate." ”

Li Daqing walked over and whispered a word next to the Taoist priest, who nodded and said, "Donor, please come and visit inside." ”

Li Daqing's voice was very small just now, but Qi Feiyang heard it clearly, and when he heard Li Daqing say to the Taoist priest, "I believe in God", he couldn't help but smile slightly.

The reason for refusal immediately blocked the Taoist priest's mouth.

The two worshiped Sanqing in the main hall, and then came to the apse, which was quiet, and not a single Taoist priest was seen.

The two of them took a big turn in the Taoist temple, Qi Feiyang shook his head quietly, he scanned the dormitory in the backyard with his divine sense, and found that except for a few who were working around the Taoist temple, several Taoist priests were either sleeping or playing with their mobile phones, and they didn't see a single Taoist priest practicing or studying scriptures.

They walked slowly out along the corridor next to them, and saw a little Taoist priest who looked fifteen or sixteen years old sitting on a bench in the corridor, holding a book in his hand and reading intently, leaning on a broom on a pillar next to him, which seemed to be a little Taoist priest who was doing miscellaneous things.

Qi Feiyang saw that the little Taoist priest was reading a copy of the "Nanhua True Scripture", so he walked over and said to him: "The Taoist is so hardworking!" ”

The little Taoist priest raised his head and saw the two of them standing in front of him with a smile, hurriedly stood up, and bowed to them: "Two donors, the little way is polite." ”

Qi Feiyang asked, "May I ask the Taoist, what is the "Dao"? ”

"Be quiet and do nothing, go with nature."

"How do I cultivate the Tao?"

"Sit and forget to keep one."

"What is the purpose of monasticism?"

"Outside the world."

Qi Feiyang listened, sat next to the little Taoist, and chatted with him. Knowing that his common name is Fan Chuanyi, 16 years old this year, is a person from a nearby village, his parents died early, and his grandmother has been dependent on each other since childhood, his grandmother died a few years ago, the village chief saw that he was pitiful, and helped find the Taixu Guan Guan to take him in, and he was a Taoist here, and the Guan Zhu gave him the Taoist name "Yiqing", which not only manages to eat and live, but also has a few hundred yuan per month, which is considered to solve his life problems.

For a few years here, he usually did some chores such as sweeping the floor, wiping the table, washing dishes, etc., and went to the scripture pavilion to find some scriptures to read, but he didn't expect to be more and more fascinated by it, and slowly had some insights into the meaning of Taoism.

Qi Feiyang walked around here for a long time, and what he saw was either playing hexagrams to make money or sleeping and playing with his mobile phone, but he didn't see a serious Taoist priest, and when he saw the little Taoist priest of Yiqing, he chatted with him for a while, and found that he did have a Taoist heart, so he said to him: "Daoist Yiqing, I am a native of Sanhe Village, Songshan City, and a person of Taoism. We have just built a Taoist temple called "Qingxu Palace", and there is no Taoist chief stationed in the temple at present, I wonder if the righteous Qing Taoist friends are willing to go to the "Qingxu Temple" to be the master? ”

"Daoist friends laughed, the little Taoist is shallow, how dare you serve as the master?"

"Daoist friends are very strong, and it is most suitable to serve as the master, and I sincerely invite you, and I hope that Daoist friends will not shirk again!"

"Since Daoist friends say so, where the Tao is, where the heart goes, Xiaodao is better to be respectful than to obey fate, but I really dare not take the position of the master, Daoist friends should be smart."

Qi Feiyang was overjoyed and said: "Let's talk about this later, Qingxuguan is being renovated, and it will take about a month to complete, and I will come here to pick up Daoyou." ”

The two left each other's phone numbers, and Qi Feiyang said goodbye to the little Taoist.

Qi Feiyang and Li Daqing went out of the Taoist temple, Li Daqing drove to the city and sent him directly to the city hospital, since he came to Dongling City, Qi Feiyang must go to see his third uncle.

It was already 11:40 when he arrived at the hospital, and his third uncle Qi Wenxin was still sitting in the clinic, so he said hello to the third uncle at the door and went downstairs to wait.

After waiting for half an hour, Qi Wenxin came out of the building, and the three of them walked to a nearby hotel and asked for a small table in the lobby.

As soon as he sat down, Qi Wenxin asked Qi Feiyang: "I heard your father say that you have already gone through the withdrawal procedures?" ”

"yes, I'm going to have to come back sooner or later anyway."

"Alas, it's a pity." Of course, Qi Wenxin knew the ancestral teachings of the Qi family, and he really felt sorry for this nephew.

Qi Feiyang didn't want to continue this topic, so he said: "Third uncle, I heard that you have just been promoted to chief physician, so today's meal will be considered to congratulate you." ”

"What is there to congratulate this, whether it is the director or not, improving medical skills is the most important thing."

Qi Feiyang knew that the Qi family was obsessed with the study of traditional medical skills and did not attach much importance to things outside the body, so he fully understood that the words of the third uncle were from the heart, and there was no intention of being cheap and good.

He took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Qi Wenxin, and said, "Third Uncle, there are 10 Qi Pills in here, you and the Third Aunt can try it and see how the effect is." ”

Qi Wenxin took the bottle, surprised and delighted, and asked, "Where did you get the Qi Pill?" It's a rare rarity! ”

Qi Feiyang smiled, didn't answer directly, and asked, "I also got it by accident, third uncle, Fei Fei is in her third year of high school, right?" ”

"Yes, the college entrance examination is going to be taken next year, but the results are not very stable, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get the last one."

"As long as you work hard, don't put too much pressure on her from the third uncle."

"We didn't have too high requirements, but she set a goal for herself, to strive for 985, at least 211."
