Volume 1: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain Chapter 20 Commercial Taoism Rich Taoist Lord

Liu Zhenquan walked all the way, only to see the houses outside the gate of the Taoist Temple, there was no shortage of Goulan Tea Shop Inn, there were many flags on the road leading to the Taoist Temple, as if they had arrived in Linjiang County, the store was brightly lit, and the small people who welcomed customers at the door kept shouting at Liu Zhenquan who was in a hurry.

Liu Zhenquan's ears were as noisy as a waterway dojo, and the strong ninja walked quickly through the door of the dojo.

"This Taoist friend is in a hurry, but is there something urgent?" asked the guest at the door.

"Poor Dao came from Jinan County, and saw that there was a jungle in the ten directions of my Daomen, and I wanted to place an order for a few days. ”

"Fellow Daoists, please come with me. Zhike didn't ask if there was a saucer, and walked to the view with Liu Zhenquan, Liu Zhenquan was very strange, holding the saucer in his arms with his right hand, whether to dig it out or not?

Zhike saw that Liu Zhenquan was puzzled, obviously not the first time he had seen this situation, "This Taoist temple does not ask about the dish degree since the current view of the master, as long as it is a person from the Taoist gate, it should be entertained, so Taoist friends do not need to be surprised, the master of the view said, 'The world Taoist gate is a family, and a family should not distinguish whether there is a dish degree'." Obviously, he was very proud of what the viewer said, and his tone became proud.

"The poor road is lonely and unheard, it turns out that the viewer is so open-minded, and I am really proud of my Taoism. ”

"Daoyou is too humble, and I want to bring a meal yet, so Poor Dao first takes Daoyou to settle down, and then takes Daoyou to the canteen. After speaking, he took Liu Zhenquan through the hall and entered the back house.

When Zhike took Liu Zhenquan to the guest room, Liu Zhenquan was really dumbfounded, there were all kinds of quiet rooms and bedrooms in the guest house, and it was a single room for one person, "It's so gracious." "It's okay, we're all like that, you don't have to be like this. ”

Waiting for Liu Zhenquan to put down his bags and follow Zhike to the door of the canteen, Zhike said: "Daoyou is the canteen inside, everything is at your own convenience, just take care of the public property and everything else is the same as at home, if you have any questions, you can ask other senior brothers, Xiaodao will go to the door first." ”

When Liu Zhenquan walked into the dining hall and saw that there were chickens, ducks, fish and meat inside, all of them were used for separate meals, and each person took a plate to find a place to eat by himself.

Liu Zhenquan only has one feeling, this Taoist temple is too rich.

Now that the Great Zhou Tian has been smooth, even if you don't eat, you will be fine, but Liu Zhenquan still ate a little bit according to his previous habits, compared to the previous You Fangguan here is really an all-round transcendence.

After eating, Liu Zhenquan went to the guest house early to meditate, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Liu Zhenquan still went to participate in the Guannei Taoist class in the morning, noon and evening, but he did not have the leisure to meditate in the guest house, and the sequelae that had just opened up the acupoints of the whole body were lifted.

Through the morning and evening classes in the past few days, Liu Zhenquan has become familiar with the acquaintance who received him, the little beggar who was originally taken in by the temple was originally called Li Erchou, but now he has changed his name to Li Jingting after becoming a Taoist priest. From him to know that the Taoist temple was very poor before, only a few acres of thin fields, and then after the master came, every time the gentry were invited to observe the Taoist rituals and the law, there were very few people who came at the beginning, and even the old people in the Taoist temple were despised, and the master was still invited every time, and now as long as the temple does things, the people who come every time are crowded, and there are many gentry who take the initiative to invite us to go. Gradually, there were more donations, and then the master let me wait at the door of the Taoist temple to build a lot of shops for rent, my Taoist temple is getting better and better, and now the Taoist temple has thousands of acres of fertile land, five mountains, and countless shops. Therefore, it is possible to entertain all its Taoist disciples.

Liu Zhenquan feels that this is very unscientific, could it be that this viewer also slept on a yellow sorghum pillow like himself and came here, is this proper marketing of a modern temple.

It just so happened that today is the fifteenth day, Liu Zhenquan also wanted to see the excitement, and then came to the side of Fatan, Fatan has stood around 36 small roads each holding a legal flag, three old Taoists are dressed in gossip capital clothes, respectively holding Chao Wat, magic ruler, Ruyi, followed by a few young Taoist swords, law seals, tokens, banners, and order flags, and then followed by some holding chimes, chimes, water bowls, bells, cymbals, and fishing drums. All the way, he followed the three old men to the Fatan while playing music and singing the Tao.

After praying for blessings, all the gentry applauded, Liu Zhenquan saw that this excitement was lively, but this group of Taoist priests had not seen the real mana, so they drank and laughed anyway, they should see a large-scale ritual, You Fangguan is too small except for small rituals can be done, nothing else has been seen, only in the Taoist classics have seen the rituals process, so it should be studied.

After the ceremony, Liu Zhenquan was ready to go back to his guest house, passing by a small courtyard and saw an old Taoist reciting the Taoist scriptures, Liu Zhenquan stopped and looked at the old Taoist carefully, the old Taoist felt that someone was observing him and stopped reciting and turned his head, Liu Zhenquan saw that the old Taoist saw himself, and said to the Taoist courtesy: "Immeasurable Tianzun, I have seen Taoist friends." The old Tao also reasoned: "Immeasurable Tianzun, the rich way is reasonable." Hearing this, Liu Zhenquan was stunned.

"Hahaha, don't blame Daoyou, this hospital is rich and dare not call it poor. ”

But in front of the master, the Taoist priest Liu Zhen was all abrupt. ”

"It turns out that it is a high skill from afar, if you don't mind going inside to eat tea. ”

"I don't have high merit, I just entered the Taoist gate and traveled around to study. ”

"Daoists must have seen extraordinary, please enter and discuss the Daozang. ”

Liu Zhenquan saw the invitation of the viewer, so he followed the viewer into the house. When I entered the quiet room, I found that it was different from the ordinary Taoist living place, there was a bookcase in it, and there were some gold and stone calligraphy and paintings in addition to some subsets of scriptures and histories on the bookshelf, which was completely decorated with a scholar's study.

Seeing that Liu Zhenquan was puzzled, the master explained: "Fu Dao was originally a scholar, because he entered the Taoist Academy because he made a bet with others, although he has been in the Taoist for ten years, he still can't change some of his previous habits."

The more Liu Zhenquan listened, the more confused he became.

"Taoist friends listen to me slowly, in the next is Luohe County Order, for the official more than ten years very disgusted with what Xiangguo Temple did, its opening of the door to discuss, and there are 10,000 acres of land, although the mouth of mercy but not mercy things, encounter the suffering of the people but do more evil things, private money to lead the shop (a kind of usury shop), not enough money to force people to sell their children and daughters, pawn the property, the monks in the temple each fat head big ear. ”

Hearing this, Liu Zhenquan secretly thought that except for not knowing if you were a loan shark, everything else was the same as the Xiangguo Temple that you hated the most.

"There are many people who come to complain, and the official has also negotiated with him several times without success, even if Cheng Wen wrote a book, he was rejected by the officials who are familiar with Xiangguo Temple, saying that 'the government has no right to govern the land outside the square', once the official was drunk and scolded in front of the Xiangguo Temple, 'the world is prosperous, and the Taoist is hidden alone in the mountains. The Bodhisattva in troubled times doesn't ask about things, and Lao Jun carries a sword to save the people. As a result, he was stabbed by the people of Xiangguo Temple to the high sect of the Buddha, and as a result, he was demoted here as the abbot of the temple. Therefore, the official claimed to be rich, firstly, to humiliate those immeasurably rich monks like Xiangguo Temple, and secondly, to warn himself not to follow their path. ”

After hearing this, Liu Zhenquan sighed with emotion: "I don't want to watch the Lord have such a heart. ”
