Chapter 115: Lazy Sleeping Daoist
Before Bai Cheng entered the study, he felt that something was wrong when he walked into the courtyard, knowing that Lu Baoshi hurriedly went to the bottom of the mountain to greet him, he was afraid that it was not only to catch the wind for himself, but also to discuss more important things, but he believed that Lu Baoshi would never do anything unfavorable to him, so he nodded and said in a low voice: "Who is Uncle Shi talking about?"
Lu Baoshi didn't answer his question, but turned around and walked to the front of the bookshelf, turning a pen holder on the bookshelf three times in a row.
A moment later, with only two crunching sounds, the bookshelf slid open on its own, revealing a secret door behind it.
Lu Baoshi pushed open the secret door and said in a low voice: "Xiaocheng, come with me." After speaking, he turned around and walked in, and Bai Cheng did not hesitate to follow behind.
The secret door was pitch black, without the slightest light, and if ordinary people came in, they would inevitably be suspicious.
However, Bai Cheng's cultivation of the "Thunder Universalization of All Things and the Death Sutra" has been successful, and his eyes can see things at night, even if there is no trace of light, he can see clearly.
In the darkness, Lu Baoshi reached out and slapped back a raised brick on the wall.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Cheng heard two "quacks" behind him, reached out and touched the secret door, only to feel that the secret door had been sealed, and knew that the bookshelf had been moved back to its original position.
Lu Baoshi whispered in the dark: "Xiaocheng, it doesn't matter if you can't see it, you follow my footsteps." ”
"It's okay, the disciple can see it. ”
"Can you see it? Are you in the realm of mindfulness?"
"The disciple has already entered the subtle realm by luck. ”
"How can it be so fast?"
"It's a long story, and the disciple can be regarded as having some adventures. ”
"That's good, you're much better than me and your master. ”
"Uncle Shi praised it falsely. ”
Lu Baoshi sighed a few more words, then stopped talking, turned around and walked forward, Bai Cheng followed closely behind him.
Bai Cheng became more and more frightened as he walked, he thought that the secret door would not be too long whether it led to the secret room or to other exits, but he didn't expect that he hadn't walked out of the secret passage for a quarter of an hour, so he secretly calculated that with the strength of the feet of the two of them, he had already walked out of three or four miles, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and carefully observed this secret passage.
The secret passage is about three feet wide and seven feet high, and the ground is paved with green bricks more than a foot long, and both sides are made of blue stones.
Bai Cheng couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "Uncle Shi, I don't know who built this secret passage?"
Lu Baoshi shook his head and said, "It is rumored that the sect was cultivated by our founding patriarch, but I am afraid that this is not the case. The masonry of the secret passage has been built for a long time, and I think that the construction of this secret passage is still before our Flying Star Gate is established. ”
Bai Cheng was even more surprised in his heart.
The passages are tortuous but gentle, and there are occasional steps to go up and down.
The two of them walked for a while, and suddenly a steep slope appeared in front of them.
Lu Baoshi whispered: "It's here." ”
The two of them walked up a steep slope, and there was a small door on the slope, cast in stainless steel, more than three inches thick, which was difficult for even the top masters to destroy for a while.
Lu Baoshi walked to the door and knocked lightly, the sound of knocking on the door was very rhythmic, and it seemed to be an agreed code.
In less than a cup of tea, I only heard the sound of "Cangchangchang", and the small stainless steel door slid to the side.
Lu Baoshi motioned for Bai Cheng to wait in the secret passage, and he walked out first, and saw that there was no situation around, so he beckoned Bai Cheng to come out.
The small door connected to a quiet room, and the person Bai Cheng thought he was going to see was here. Unexpectedly, there was no one in the quiet room, only a shrine standing aside, and I don't know who opened the door just now.
Lu Baoshi didn't speak, he reached out and fiddled with the shrine, and the shrine slid on its own, sealing the small door behind.
After sealing the small door, Lu Baoshi walked out of the quiet room and motioned to Bai Cheng to follow him and not to speak.
Bai Cheng walked out of the quiet room, looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but be surprised, because he was too familiar with this place, and he never thought that this place also had a secret passage.
This is a place of cultivation in the mountain behind the Feixing Gate, usually for the ancestors of the Sanqing Dao, every New Year's Festival, the Feixing Gate all come here to burn incense and worship the gods, Baicheng did not come less when he was a child, but there are fewer over the years.
There is usually no one else here, only a pair of mute masters and apprentices practice here, both of them are monks, it is said that the master has a Taoist name called lazy sleep, as for the name of the apprentice, I don't know.
If it weren't for coming over with Lu Baoshi today, Bai Cheng never thought that this pair of masters and apprentices would also be masters.
Lu Baoshi walked out of the quiet room, still without saying a word, and walked straight to the front hall, with Bai Cheng following closely behind.
Walking into the front hall, in the middle of the hall is the statue of the ancestor of the Sanqing Dao, the pair of masters and apprentices are playing under the statue, seeing the two come in, the little apprentice glanced at them, turned his head and continued to play chess, but the lazy Taoist turned a blind eye to them.
Bai Cheng thought that Lu Baoshi was going to come forward to talk, but unexpectedly, Lu Baoshi ignored the two of them, and came directly to the statue of Daozu God, knelt on the futon with both knees, grabbed the side of the futon with both hands, kowtowed respectfully three times, and then turned around and waved at Bai Cheng.
Bai Cheng also painted a gourd in the same way, and kowtowed in front of the statue of the god, and secretly said that there are rules here, and you have to kowtow to Dao Ancestor before meeting?
He was thinking crankily in his heart, Lu Baoshi had already stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned to get up and leave.
Leaving the antechamber, the two of them walked the same way in the direction of the ashram. Only then did Bai Cheng know that he was not meeting with this pair of masters and apprentices, it turned out that there were other masters here, but they were just borrowing from the small courtyard.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Baoshi had already stopped, pushed open the door of the quiet room that he had just come over, and motioned for Bai Cheng to come in with him.
After entering the quiet room, Lu Baoshi twisted the mechanism, and the idol slid open, revealing the small door.
Lu Baoshi pushed the door in, motioned for Bai Cheng to leave with him, and closed the mechanism from the inside, before going back along the same road.
After a while, the two returned to Lu Baoshi's study.
Knowing this time, Lu Baoshi let out a long breath and said, "You are lucky, this trip is so smooth, it is really beyond my expectations." ”
Bai Cheng originally thought that the person Lu Baoshi wanted to introduce was not there, so he had just returned, but now when he heard him say this, he couldn't help blurting out: "Smooth? Uncle Shi is going to introduce me to Daozu and his old man? I have known his old man for many years, but his old man doesn't seem to know me." ”
Lu Baoshi was stunned and said, "What are you talking about, I introduced you to the lazy sleep master and apprentice, didn't you already meet just now?"
Bai Cheng was dumbfounded and said, "We didn't talk to them. ”
Lu Baoshi smiled bitterly and said: "Their master and apprentice have never talked to people, just now you and I kowtowed in front of the statue of Dao Ancestor, he knew that you were his own person, just go to them directly if you have something in the future." ”
Bai Cheng then understood, but then asked a little puzzled: "In this case, let's go directly to the back mountain to burn incense, why do we have to take the secret road?"
Lu Baoshi smiled and said: "If we don't take the secret road, we won't have this in the futon we kowtow." ”
With that, he pulled out a letter from his cuff.
