Chapter 19: A First Glimpse of the Doorway

A few days later, at noon, the public chef.

There are a lot of Taoist priests sitting here, all of whom are fasting.

On either side of the long table by the door, about half of the newcomers were seated. One of them swallowed hard, and then sighed: "That is, the chest of hunger is attached to the belly, otherwise who can eat?

"Not really. I've also heard that another house is empty today, and maybe someone is gone. I'd rather drop the deposit than suffer here. "This is the one who asked the people about the whereabouts of the meal.

"Well, it reminds me of that day. The day after we settled down, a senior brother came over to collect the deposit. As a result, nearly half of them left on the spot. ”

"Hehe, don't you want to think about where this place is, don't you want to give porridge? If you want to eat and live for nothing, how can there be such a beautiful thing?"

"What Brother Tai said is very true!"

"That's the truth!"

......

After a while, everyone walked out of the kitchen's door.

"Hey, Ma San, you're well-informed, you haven't seen you for a few days, and you've opened up a lot of joints, right?" someone joked, he was talking about the one who just mentioned that someone left today.

"Necessary, necessary. I am a man who is anxious for justice and righteousness by nature. What I am best at is to be anxious about what my brother is anxious about, and what my brother is anxious about. It's just my job to get in touch with each other. Ma San put gold on his face.

Others don't wear it, they just laugh.

A group of people walked, gradually dividing into two groups, one of which was Yuntian and Ma San. The other group said goodbye to Ma San and Yun Tian and went down the mountain road, while Yun Tian and Ma San walked into the left fork together.

Ma San looked at Yuntian and said with a smile: "This brother Tai, under Ma San, didn't ask for advice?"

"Cloudy sky. ”

"The clouds of white clouds, the heavens of the sky?"

"Exactly. ”

"Haha, my brother looks so handsome on the stage, why don't you like to talk much? ”

"I've come to the mountains to cultivate. In addition to working and chanting, I dare not be distracted. ”

"Oh, which gate is that brother's platform?"

"Baiyun Temple. ”

"White clouds, cloudy sky, haha, what a coincidence. It seems that Brother Tai has a fate with the Dao!" Ma San flattered, changed his tone, and said, "However, although this Baiyun Temple is at the foot of the mountain, its location is extremely remote. Ordinary pilgrims can't go around there, and even most of us newcomers have voted for the Green Pine Temple. You see the people who left us just now, they all went up the mountain and settled down through the Green Pine Temple near the main road. ”

"Oh, what about you, wouldn't you be from Baiyunguan too?"

"That's not it, I'm from Zixiaguan, who has a higher seat. It was the closest to our daily abode. ”

"Aren't the pilgrims all intercepted by the green pine temple under the mountain?"

"Hey, that's right. But those are ordinary people, and the real dignitaries and nobles all come up to our Zixia Temple to worship and incense. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"So that my brother will know that the Lord of Zixia is a wonderful person. He asked me to wait for the senior brothers to go down to the foot of the mountain, and lead the people who showed their wealth on the outside, saying that the Zixia Temple was on a high place, and it was not an ordinary pattern with the Qingsong Temple at the foot of the mountain. You see that the people in the lower places are all ordinary people, and only high-ranking officials and dignitaries can go to the high places. After such a conversation, I have already attracted several rich old men and ladies in Zixia Temple, although pilgrims are scarce, but Fulu Qian is the most among the three views. ”

"Huh, there are still such twists and turns?"

"That's right, brother, I also carefully studied the three Taoist temples before choosing the Zixia Temple. Don't you see, the brothers there all have big bellies and round waists, and their faces are full of oil. Brother, I'll accompany you to endure the hardships of these two months, and when the time comes, you will officially enter the view, and you will be able to eat and drink spicy food immediately!"

"Congratulations to my brother. ”

"Hey, it's nothing. There are the most pilgrims in the green pine, and the brothers over there don't worry about food and clothing. Although there are many of them, they can still help each other. However, Brother Yun, your side is not good, I inquired before, and I heard that your side is sparsely populated, and most of them are tourists. There are only five people in the Guanzhong Senior Brother and an old master, and there are many people who have a lot of work, and there are few people who have no help, and they are the most bitter. ”

Yun Tian can see that this Ma San likes matchmaking the most, and now he wants to win himself over!

He said, "What should I do then?"

"Don't worry, let's live together, if Brother Yun has any difficulties in the future, just mention it to Ma San, Ma San still has a lot of ways here, you can relax!"

"That Yuntian has thanked Brother Tai here!"

"Hey, it should, it should. The two of them said, they had already walked to another fork in the road, one of which led directly to the back door of a Taoist temple, presumably that was the Zixia Temple, Ma San saw this and said, "Look, brother, I'm here, let's say goodbye here! See you in the evening!"

"Goodbye. Yun Tian replied indifferently.

Seeing Ma San go away, Yun Tianwu turned to another fork in the road, but he didn't walk long, and when there was no one in front and behind, he jumped and walked through the woods to the back door of his Taoist temple.

......

More than ten days later, at dusk, the remnant sun was gone.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and at the end of the evening class, everyone came out of the lobby, in groups of three or five, and returned to their own courtyards.

Ma San talked and laughed with a group of people who lived in the same courtyard, and came to the gate of the courtyard. From afar, they saw the little fat man squatting under the tree at the door. I saw that he was holding a branch and paddling around on the ground, looking very bored.

Someone in the crowd shouted with a smile: "Qiao Jincai, I said why didn't I see your shadow today!

The others burst into laughter, and at this time, Ma San hurriedly carried a cage of lunch boxes, got out of the crowd, turned around to face everyone, and scolded fiercely: "Laugh and laugh! What's so funny! People have a lot of money, and they are just playing tricks here." How many of them are like you, how many of them have come to avoid taxes?

As soon as he reprimanded, everyone didn't dare to refute, and they all showed aggrieved expressions, but they couldn't speak. It's not that they can't say that Ma San can't do it, it's just that these days, Ma San is running around for everyone in the courtyard all day long, and they gradually entrust things to Ma San to do. Therefore, Ma San gradually became the backbone of everyone, and once something happened, others did not dare to deviate from Ma San's meaning at all.

Ma San also reaped a lot of benefits when he communicated with his brothers and sisters up and down and solved problems. Later, he also let him know that this little fat man named Qiao Jincai was from a wealthy businessman's family.

The little fat man's parents sent him up the mountain through the Qingsong Temple, there were many pilgrims in the Qingsong Temple, and the affairs were complicated, and the brothers and sisters there were more and more impatient, and the little fat man was arrogant, and the two parties had already formed a grudge.

The little fat man didn't go out today, because he was squeezed by the senior brothers of Qingsong Guan before.

Ma San thought that his opportunity had come, and he specially prepared a cage of good meat and vegetables through the path of Senior Brother Zixia Guannei today. Ma San is also ready to take care of the little fat man in the future, and strive to show the goodwill of Zixia Temple in front of the little fat man's parents, and win over this noble person to become a frequent visitor to Zixia Temple, so as to help him improve his status in the future.

And the scolding just now was that he deliberately left an impression in the little fat man's heart and pulled into the relationship with the little fat man.

Seeing that everyone couldn't let out a fart, Ma San sneered: "Why don't you go back to sleep quickly, do you want me to teach you?"

Everyone returned to the courtyard in a daze, and some people walked away, couldn't help muttering, but were quickly stopped by others.

Ma San didn't care about them, took three steps and made two steps, ran to the little fat man, saw the little fat man squatting on the ground, tears rolled in his eyes, he made a concerned appearance: "Your father and mother care about you, I'm afraid you won't eat well." Look, this is the food they asked me to bring, let's eat it quickly!

The little fat man couldn't cry for a long time when he heard Ma San say it. He was hungry all day and dizzy, so he opened the lunch box, grabbed the meat and put it in his mouth.

Ma San was overjoyed, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't be like this, let your father and mother see it, how distressed he is for the two old people! Let's go back to the house and eat slowly, no one will rob you!" So he put the lid of the box, held the cage of food in one hand, and supported the little fat man in the other, and slowly entered the yard.

At this time, all the people in the courtyard went back to the house to rest, but the room in Yuntian was empty. It turned out that he was on duty in the Baiyun Temple at this time.

Since the day after he came here, before the senior brother who was in charge of chores assigned him things to do, Yuntian volunteered and took the initiative to take on the task of night duty.

It turns out that although all the chores in the temple are tiring, they are all during the day, and only the night is at night, so it hurts the most. And the brothers of the Guannei Master did not dare to find a chance to sleep, just because the old master was old and had a bad sense, so he often got up in the middle of the night and looked around.

Now that there is a person who is willing to suffer, how can the handyman brother still not be willing to meet Yuntian's requirements?

However, Yun Tian did not keep vigil in front of the statue of the god in the temple at this time, but was in the main wing of the old temple.

Under normal circumstances, the owners of the Taoist temple are not young, and for convenience, they all live in the wing room next to the Taoist temple.

Right now, Yun Tian is asking himself what he doesn't know about the content of the Taoist scriptures, and the old master is also teaching carefully, and this situation has lasted for more than ten days.

This is Yuntian's plan. This Baiyun Temple is not blindly chosen. A few days before Yuntian went up the mountain, in addition to inquiring about the news outside, he also turned into a sparrow several times and sneaked into various Taoist temples. In order to find an old, disciple-loving and profound Taoist contemplator, and then worship in his view.

On the one hand, it is so that the viewer can open a small stove for himself, so that he can quickly grasp the Taoist scriptures of the Quanzhen Sect. Many of the world's high-minded martial arts are from the Taoist scriptures, and most of the martial arts in the Quanzhen Sect are related to the Taoist scriptures, so they must be studied.

On the other hand, the contemplator is old and frail, and he himself can use this as an excuse to go up the mountain to practice medicine and recognize acupoints.

Yun Tian was not ready to turn into a sparrow at the beginning and go up the mountain to learn martial arts. Just because of the high-rise buildings rising from the ground, how can a layman become a martial arts master by himself? I didn't see the black wind and two evils, because no one taught me, I groped on my own, and as a result, I practiced martial arts so that no one was human, and no ghost was a ghost.

Yuntian can speed up thinking, but it can't use it to improve understanding, thinking quickly is one thing, thinking clearly is another. However, thanks to his quick thinking, when he rummaged through his memories, there was never a blockage, which was almost equivalent to never forgetting it, that is, he had the same ability as Feng Heng, the wife of the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master.

However, Feng Heng is easy to remember, but it is extremely exhausting to rummage, and when she wrote the Nine Yin Sutra silently, she was pregnant, and finally ended up dying of heart failure, which is very unfortunate.

Seeing that Yun Tian had learned several of his Taoist scriptures, the old master did not hesitate at the moment, turned around and took out his Taoist classics from the cabinet. He turned around and said to Yun Tian with a smile: "You are a good boy, and you are also a smart child. This is my book, there are annotations in it, there are some things you don't understand, come and ask me again, let other people come on duty in the future! You can't let the pain go away with this Dao nature in you!"

"Obey the teacher's orders!" Yun Tian bowed his hand.

"Don't be so restrained, you and I have been talking for more than a dozen nights, and we don't need to do that extra courtesy. The old man laughed, and then asked, "You haven't received the scarf yet, have you?"

"No, I didn't. The disciple also has a little doubt about this. Before ordinary children enter the church, they have to cultivate the Tao for three years, why only two months here?"

"That's a good explanation. In recent years, my Quanzhen has developed and grown, whether it is in the rivers and lakes, in the court or outside the Saiwai, there are Quanzhen Sect disciples. Therefore, there have been many people who have come to worship the true nature recently. If the time is placed in three years, it is inevitable that it will be easy to dissuade people from leaving. "The old master has a look of honor, "And because of the large number of pilgrims, most of our Taoist temples under the mountain are short of people, so in order to recruit a wide range of disciples, they are reduced to two months, so as to maintain the grand occasion of Quanzhen." ”

"The disciple understood. ”

"That's fine. Let's pick an auspicious day for the zodiac in a few days. With your Dao nature, you don't have to wait any longer!"

"Yes, the disciple knows. ”

"Okay, the old Taoist priest is sleepy, you can go by yourself, don't come back tomorrow night. ”

"Yes. Yun Tian watched the old man turn over and lie on his side, and after a while, the snoring gradually started, so he blew out the oil lamp, retreated outside, and closed the door.

He walked to the front of the view, jumped up, sat at the top of the view, and continued to look at the Chongyang Palace.

Yun Tian looked at the Dao Palace under the stars, thinking in his heart, he was one step closer to the goal, it was really gratifying, and the next thing was to wait for the opportunity to go up the mountain.
