Qingniu Temple is located in Qingniu Mountain in Sichuan City, which is different from the Yangxin Temple where the Taoist people are located, and it is a Taoist temple that will be open to the public from time to time.

Jiangcheng, Chuancheng, Hucheng......

There are many Taoist temples in these areas, which are deeply influenced by Taoist culture.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, although it has not yet officially arrived at the holiday date, some schools have already begun to close for the winter vacation.

Many students, or office workers who have taken early vacations, generally take advantage of this time before the Chinese New Year to find a place to travel, no matter where the goal is, just need to stay away from the permanent work place, learning environment, try to eliminate the pressure and fatigue of going to school and work.

On the densely populated mountain road, a burly figure is walking past other tourists, marching towards the mountain at a very fast speed.

I don't know if there are any other good things in this green bull view besides the amulet. ’

In a few minutes, Lu Zhengyi came to a flat land near the top of the mountain, which was the end of the tourists.

The smoke of incense like a mist came to his face, and he could smell the fragrance as early as halfway up the mountain, and until he came to the mountain, the smell was several times stronger at once.

Not far away, in front of the Qingniu Temple, three huge incense burners were placed at the door, and the three large incense sticks erected by the copper platform on the top were bubbling sparks, and from time to time there were incense ash embers falling from them and falling into the furnace below.

And there are dense small incense sticks next to this incense burner, which are all purchased by tourists or brought their own offerings up the mountain.

It is worthy of being a famous Taoist temple. ’

Lu Zhengyi walked towards the gate of the Taoist temple step by step, and the tourists next to him involuntarily bypassed him.

His trip wasn't going to last long, so no one else was following him except the cane with the black snake in his hand.

Even Ah Yong, who usually follows him all the time, is the same.

But before Lu Zhengyi walked to the door, he then entered the temple.

Suddenly, a mediocre-looking, but inexplicably clean young man came out of the crowd next to him, and walked straight towards his position.

"Hello, Director Lu."

As soon as they met, the man in the purple robe spoke slowly, his tone was very firm, and his eyes looked Lu Zhengyi up and down, as if he was exploring his situation.

He is very direct and does not hide his inner thoughts.

And the other people around not only didn't know about Lu Zhengyi, but they didn't even seem to see this Dao Chang.

“…… Pure real people? ”

Lu Zhengyi hesitated to speak, and he also kept looking at the person in front of him.

Today, the master of Qingniuguan is called Chang Qingjing, who is the master of the Taoist who views the mountain, and is also one of the few high-level real people in Taoism.

Although he looks very young in terms of face and posture, the people of Guanshan Dao are now forty, and the other party, as a master and uncle of the same generation as his master, must be at least ninety in age.

Speaking of which, the old lady Huang's old acquaintance should be this pure and real person.

"It's me."

The pure real person's answer was very short, and it was not as rigid as Lu Zhengyi expected.

He didn't bow anything, he didn't hold his hands to whisk the dust, and he didn't recite the sutras......

He didn't show the cumbersome etiquette and rules that the Taoist priests often had to learn during the evening class, even as the master of the Qingniu Temple, one of the ancestral courts of Taoism.

"You're really special."

Then, the pure real person suddenly spoke, "You...... I think I was the one who lived out the second life, right? ”

His address changed very bluntly, from 'you' to 'you'. ’

……

Compared with the pilgrims in the front yard, the backyard of Qingniuguan is like a thick soundproof board to directly isolate the noisy sound.

The inner courtyard was completely silent, only the sound of birds chirping in the mountains and forests, and even those Taoists who passed by from time to time were lightly moved, for fear of disturbing something.

In a quiet room, Lu Zhengyi and the pure real person sat opposite each other.

The mahogany table between the two of them was empty, and there were no objects on it.

The pure real person looked at Lu Zhengyi's gaze, full of exploration.

Probably because of the relationship between the people who watched the mountain and the Taoist, he already had a certain understanding of himself, so he didn't have anything

And Lu Zhengyi faced him directly, even if he was called out of his identity, his expression was always flat.

As for the serpent's staff, he put it outside.

In the conversation that followed, it was clear that the black snake was not suitable for being present.

"You don't seem surprised that I was able to come to this conclusion, it seems."

In the end, the pure real person broke this quiet, "Is it because you have lived out the second life, so you have absolute confidence?" ”

Obviously, he was surprised that the few words he had just said didn't make the other party's face appear more emotional fluctuations.

"There is a saying that dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of a cannon."

Lu Zhengyi replied softly, "If you take this sentence as a formula, it can be applied to all scenarios, just like I am just an office worker who earns thousands of dollars a month, and when I walk into a high-end restaurant, I will pay extra attention to my etiquette and posture, trying to blend into that atmosphere." ”

"But if I have a lot of money in my pocket, then even if I walk into a high-end restaurant wearing slippers and a vest, I can deal with it calmly, and I don't care about other people's eyes at all."

"In that scenario, wealth is the edge of the sword, the truth."

As for the conclusion that the other party can get his own 'life of the second life', Lu Zhengyi is not surprised.

He was in the middle of his life, aware of his past lives, not from the beginning.

This also made Lu Zhengyi's behavior pattern in the past ten years different from that after, and he had a lot of experience and calmness that he shouldn't have.

And he didn't deliberately hide his actions.

Therefore, those who have deviated information, pure real people, only need to arrange for people to conduct a simple visit to know his situation.

Zhang Xueming has mentioned this point a few times, but probably because of her identity as a 'cultivator', she didn't care too much about and explored.

But as people on the path of cultivation, pure and real people obviously have different views.

When people embark on the path of cultivation, of course, they will change some of their personality and behavior.

Just like Yu Wenxiu, the concept of wealth is getting weaker and weaker; Like Zhou Jie, a person in her forties actually had the idea of establishing an organization and mastering the world; For example, Xu Bingcai has changed from a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor to a famous doctor who is officially defined as a 'treasure' by the Cantonese government......

Embarking on this path has a very big impact on a person.

But whether it's a good or a bad influence, these things are a process.

And Lu Zhengyi is clearly missing a process.

For a Taoist priest who has learned this knowledge since childhood, pure and true people are not unfamiliar with this kind of "reincarnation and recultivation".

Although it seems mysterious in the modern context, it is acceptable and conclusive.

Especially when the other party took a film like 'Double Pupil'.

"The older generation of people is more subtle when they speak." Qingjing Zhenren always stared at him, and his words were also very direct, "But if you don't walk into that environment in formal clothes, if you open your mouth is 'money, money, money', you will be said to be a local tyrant, a nouveau riche or something." ”

From meeting to simple acquaintance, and then to this room, he seemed to be vigorous and resolute throughout the whole process, without half a superfluous polite word.

"If I only have a few hundred thousand dollars in my hand, and I am lucky to get it, and I don't know how to earn more, I may be annoyed and dissatisfied with these titles."

Regarding the title of 'older generation', Lu Zhengyi raised his eyebrows and continued to reply, "But if I have this money and firmly believe that I have the ability to earn more, then why do I care about these voices?" There are right and wrong all day long, and if you don't listen to it, there will be nothing. ”

“……”

Pure True Man listened, was quiet for a while, and then suddenly spoke, "So you don't deny this conclusion, do you?" ”

Lu Zhengyi didn't speak, and looked at him silently.

“…… Then would you like to ask the seniors to solve my doubts? ”

The pure real person hesitated, stood up and bowed, "May I ask you...... Or is it Lu Zhengyi? ”

It's still a very direct inquiry.

People have a variety of temperaments, although they are all born in Taoism, when the Taoist people first met, every time they met, they would chat politely, but his teacher and uncle looked like a different person.

"I have a good relationship with the head of the mountain view, he has helped me a lot, I can answer this question."

Lu Zhengyi was not silent this time, "I am Lu Zhengyi." ”

After a pause, "I who have only existed for more than ten years and the previous me are not one party swallowing the other, but a combination." ”

"We were influenced by each other to create a new individual."

"And in this individual, it is the more profound side of existence."

The pure real person straightened his waist, and his expression was slightly lost.

Although this question is asked to the other party, it is also closely related to himself.

But on second thought, he accepted the fact again.

Because this is very similar to the situation recorded in the ancient books of Guanzhong.

"One more question, do you think the practice is real?"

The pure and true man asked again, but no one sat down, just stood.

But at this point, he paused slightly, "I heard my nephew mention that Director Lu needs some special items to protect your employees. ”

"We can help with that."

"Although the effect is very limited, it will be of higher quality than the amulet we draw."

As he spoke, he took out a small red bag from his pocket and placed it on the table.

The first question, Lu Zhengyi gave the answer based on the feelings of the people of Guanshan Dao.

Then the second question needs to be paid.

Although the pure real person is a straight person, but after living for so many years, he doesn't understand, it's just that most people don't need him to understand those twists and turns.

"Sit down and talk."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him standing next to him, and after a reminder, he reached out and picked up the red bag on the table.

In appearance, it is similar to the talisman given to them by the people who view the mountain.

But when he opened the bag, it was not yellow paper, but a coin that looked to be some years old.

Lu Zhengyi hesitated, and put his finger into the red bag.

And as soon as his fingers touched the coin, he could feel the rough frost of the rust.

On the rusty surface, a text is engraved on both sides.

But what exactly it means, and which dynasty it comes from, Lu Zhengyi, a layman, can't tell.

"The history of the Tang Kingdom is very long, and in some dynasties that have existed in it for a long time, even the currency traded has been tainted with a little spirituality, which can carry the blessings of the ancestors, and has the quality of driving away evil and avoiding disasters."

After sitting down, the pure real person explained softly, "These objects are of limited use, but they should be enough to keep your employees safe." ”

"Even the black snake outside will have to work hard to exhaust the blessings on this copper coin."

"But there aren't many levels like him in the current era."

A smile appeared on Lu Zhengyi's face, "It's a good thing, but it's too polite." ”

Then, he said with a unchanged face, "But I have a lot of employees under me, and there may be more in the future." ”

"We can provide it."

The pure real person replied seriously, "In the end, this is just an antiquity, and it is only because it has been blessed that it has the effect of driving away evil spirits." ”

"Besides, there are too many dusty treasures."

"Instead of hiding and eating ashes, it is better to hand it over to the people who need it, Director Lu and the staff under your command are all members of the Tang Kingdom, and we naturally want to ensure your safety as much as possible."

"Then thank you."

Lu Zhengyi was happy, "Practicing the Fa?" I don't think so. ”

As he spoke, he was about to say something when a knock sounded from outside the house.

After smiling politely at Lu Zhengyi, the pure real person shouted loudly outside the door, "Come in." ”

"Lookout."

A cautious figure walked into the room from outside, holding a wooden palm plate with brewed tea and some pastries on it.

"Yu Liang?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at the figure who entered the house unexpectedly, "You kid, did you really go up the mountain to learn art?" ”

"Hey, Director Lu, long time no see."

Yu Liang's eyes lit up, he walked over with a smile, and put his palm on the table, "I have just gone up the mountain not long ago, and I was recommended by the Taoist Master of Guanshan before, but my parents did not agree with me becoming a monk." ”

"It took me a long time to let them know that being a Taoist priest here is a formal and legal thing, and it is a serious profession."

"And I can pass on the family to the next generation, so I persuaded my family to let me go up the mountain."

In other words, the mountain is like a prison.

On the side, the pure real person silently watched them reminisce, without opening their mouths to blend in, and not making a sound to let the disciples who were studying in the view pay attention to the rules.

"It's rare to see someone as persistent as you."

Lu Zhengyi smiled and nodded, "If you give it in the future, my employees will ask you for help, and you will have to give some face." ”

"Hey, I'm just getting started."

Although Yu Liang said so, he was obviously looking forward to it.

He is already a person who is extremely enthusiastic about this aspect, otherwise he would not have directly chased Lu Zhengyi and his crew with just a little speculation on the Internet.

Yu Liang didn't stay long, as a beginner disciple, he had a lot of miscellaneous things to study and work every day.

This time, it was probably because of Lu Zhengyi's relationship that he was able to come over to deliver tea as an 'acquaintance'.

"Director Lu, you just praised him for his persistence."

And after Yu Liang left, the pure real person who had not spoken all this time spoke, "Do you think he has a chance to walk on this road?" ”

"Some things can't be done with attachment."

Lu Zhengyi replied euphemistically, "As for whether this road is suitable for him, it depends on his fortune, and I will definitely not be able to calculate it as a director." ”
