Chapter 138: Treasure Box

In the hall of the Phoenix Temple, there is an old Taoist Dharma figure wearing a crown and holding floating dust in his hand. There were also several plates of tribute in front of Lao Dao.

"Sit down. The Purple Cloud Daoist beckoned Lin San to sit on a wooden chair and poured Lin San a cup of tea with his own hands.

Lin San thanked him, took the teacup and drank it slowly.

Daoist Ziyun glanced at Lin San, "What exactly do you want to ask me?"

Lin San gently put down the teacup and smiled, "First of all, I want to know why the Dao Chief chose to live in the Phoenix Temple?"

"This is my **, I can't tell you. Daoist Ziyun said lightly.

"Okay, let me ask the second question, what year was this Phoenix Temple built?" Lin San asked as he carefully observed the expression of the Purple Cloud Dao Chief.

The Purple Cloud Daoist shook his head: "I don't know about this, in short, the Phoenix Temple has existed in the world for a long time. ”

"The last question, which can also be said to be a request. Lin San pondered for a moment: "I want to visit the Phoenix Temple, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Of course, this is possible, the Phoenix Temple itself is a tourist attraction open to the public, and you can visit it at any time. This time, Daoist Ziyun replied very happily.

"Then I'll thank you. Lin San said hello to the Purple Cloud Daoist, then got up and started to visit the Phoenix Temple.

Daoist Ziyun picked up the *** family classics from the table next to him and read them slowly.

After visiting the hall, Lin San raised his feet and came to the backyard.

The area of the backyard is not large, boxy, there are two stone pillars standing in the middle, and a pair of couplets are engraved on the stone pillars, the upper couplet is: Pangu Kaitian Nuwa created people, and the lower couplet is: the four gods and beasts of the fairy world.

"Huh, this couplet is so weirdly written. Lin San walked to the stone pillar, read the couplet twice, and muttered to himself.

"What? Are you interested in this couplet?" At some point, the Purple Cloud Daoist slowly walked into the backyard.

"Oh? It's a little curious. Lin San glanced back at the Purple Cloud Dao Chief: "Dao Chief, can you explain to me the meaning of this couplet?"

Ziyun Dao Chang nodded slightly, pointed to Shanglian and said: "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, heaven and earth were one, and then they were split by the Pangu God with the Heaven Opening Axe. ”

Lin San nodded: "What about the next link?"

Daoist Ziyun stretched out his hand and stroked the beard on his chin, and then said: "Xialian means that there are many immortals with great magical powers living in the immortal world, and these immortals can live the same life as heaven and earth, and there are four gods living in the four directions of the immortal world, which are called the four divine beasts guarding the immortal world. ”

"What are the four divine beasts?" Lin San asked curiously.

"Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, according to legend, the status of the four divine beasts in the fairy world is transcendent, and even the Emperor of Heaven has to give three points. Daoist Ziyun said slowly.

Lin San pondered for a moment: "Who wrote this couplet?"

Daoist Ziyun shook his head slightly: "I don't know, when I came to the Phoenix Temple, this couplet already existed, according to my master, this couplet has existed for a long time, as for who wrote it, there is no way to investigate." ”

Lin San nodded: "Dao Chief, what do you think of the content of this couplet?"

The Purple Cloud Daoist was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand the meaning of Lin San's words for a while.

Seeing the doubts on the face of the Purple Cloud Dao Chief, Lin San explained, "I mean, Dao Chief, do you believe that there are immortals and the four great divine beasts in this world?"

"This ...... To tell you the truth, I don't believe it. Daoist Ziyun exhaled lightly: "I think that the immortals and the four great divine beasts are all fantasized by human beings themselves, and it is estimated that they do not exist. ”

"Oh. Lin San didn't have a trace of surprise at Daoist Ziyun's answer, in the eyes of mortals, immortals were indeed ethereal legends.

After chatting for a while, Daoist Ziyun invited Lin San to the hall for lunch.

Lunch is very simple, four dishes and one soup, all vegetarian, but the taste is good.

After lunch, Daoist Ziyun said hello to Lin San and went directly to the bedroom for a nap.

Lin San continued to visit the Phoenix Temple.

It was soon getting dark.

Since there is no electricity at the top of the mountain, the Phoenix Temple can only be lit by candles.

Daoist Ziyun came out of the bedroom and saw that Lin San was still staying in the Phoenix Temple and didn't leave, and he was stunned: "You ......"

Lin San smiled: "I patronized and visited the Phoenix Temple, and I didn't know when it was dark......"

"Oh, it's dangerous to go down the mountain at night, so stay here tonight and leave tomorrow. "It's good that the Purple Cloud Dao is long-hearted.

Lin San hurriedly thanked him.

Dinner is more hearty than lunch, that is, just a little richer, it is one more dish.

After dinner, Lin San sat in the hall and chatted with Daoist Purple Cloud.

Daoist Ziyun is very knowledgeable, and often makes Lin San have an epiphany when he says a word.

"Dao Chief, there is a question that I have hidden in my heart for a long time, and I don't know whether to ask it. Lin San said hesitantly.

"There's something to say, but it's okay to say it. Ziyun Dao Chang picked up the teacup of the table mountain and took a sip gently.

"I'm curious, why did the Taoist choose to become a monk in the Phoenix Temple? And it's for decades, you...... Isn't it lonely?" Lin San asked as he carefully observed the expression of the Purple Cloud Dao Chief.

The Purple Cloud Daoist was stunned, he didn't expect Lin San to ask him this, he was silent for a while, and then the Purple Cloud Daoist said slowly: "I am an orphan, I was taken to the Phoenix Temple by the master to practice since I was a child, before my master died, he asked me to take care of the Phoenix Temple, the master is the person I respect in the world, and I must abide by his instructions." ”

"Your master is ruthless enough, he tied you to the Phoenix Temple with a word, you ......" Lin San pouted.

Ziyun Dao's face sank: "Please don't slander my master." "In the heart of Daoist Ziyun, the status of the master is quite high, and there is absolutely no room for some blasphemy.

"Ahh......h Dao Chief, I'm sorry, I just spoke a little out of my head, don't be angry. Seeing that Daoist Ziyun's face was displeased, Lin San hurriedly apologized.

The Purple Cloud Dao Leader shook his head and did not speak.

Lin San secretly blamed himself for talking too much just now and slandering other people's masters for no reason, that is, Ziyun Dao Chang had a good temper, and if he was a short-tempered person, it was estimated that he would have already started with Lin San.

"Dao Chief, why do you hold a lecture every once in a while?" Lin San deliberately diverted the topic in order to ease the atmosphere.

"I want to tell the world what I have learned and help the world solve their worries and sorrows. Daoist Ziyun said softly.

"The Taoist is really a bodhisattva. Lin San said with sincere admiration.

Ziyun Daoist waved his hand: "You won the prize, I just did what I should do." ”

A strong wind suddenly blew outside the "...... hu", and the temple door kept swinging back and forth, making a "squeak" sound.

Ziyun Dao Chang got up and went over to close the door, and looked back at Lin San: "It's not early, you go and rest, walk into the inner hall from here, turn left, there is a bedroom at the easternmost end." With that, Daoist Ziyun left the hall.

Lin San came to the easternmost bedroom of the inner hall according to what the Purple Cloud Daoist said, the area of the bedroom was not large, but it was very clean, and it was often cleaned at a glance.

In the bedroom, there is a wooden bed by the window, and the wooden bed is covered with a thin quilt.

Lin San leaned on the head of the bed, holding a smoking cigarette in his hand, holding back his brows slightly, and secretly thinking: Today he has turned around the Phoenix Temple inside and out, and he didn't find anything special.

Sighing softly, Lin San muttered to himself, "Purple Spirit Fairy, what did you ask me to come to the Phoenix Temple for?"

"Bang!!" a loud bang came from the hall.

Lin San was stunned and sat up directly from the bed.

"Ziyun Zamao, do you want to hand over the treasure box!?" a sharp voice suddenly came.

"As I said, there are no treasure boxes here. Daoist Ziyun said unhurriedly.

"Grass you, I see that you don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin, brother, search for me!" a sharp voice roared.

Immediately after that, there was a sound of "ping-pong" rummaging through things in the hall.

Lin San frowned, got off the bed directly, walked out of the door, and came directly to the hall.

At this time, the hall was in a mess, the tables, chairs and benches were all lying to the ground, and several wolf-like men were rummaging for something.

A young man with short hair and a thin figure was constantly pushing Ziyun Dao Chang: "Old Zamao, say, where did you hide the treasure box?"

Purple Cloud Dao Chang Tie blushed and didn't say a word.

"Grass!" The young man seemed to have lost his patience, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the neck of the Purple Cloud Dao Chief: "Believe it or not, I strangled you!"

"Take your dirty hands away from me. Lin San walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

"Huh?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and glanced up and down Lin San: "Who are you? Why are you staying here?!"

Lin San sneered: "You don't care who I am, let go of the Daoist Leader right now." ”

The young man's face sank: "You say just let it go, I'm grass...... Ah!" Halfway through, the young man suddenly flew into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, and only after a long time did he scream loudly in pain.

Lin San slowly withdrew his fist and pouted disdainfully: "With this little ability, you dare to go to the Phoenix Temple to spread wild, you are really looking for death!"

Several men who were rummaging in the hall saw that the boss had been beaten, and their eyes immediately turned red, and they rushed towards Lin San with a scream.

Lin Sanshun picked up a chair in his hand, and with a slight stroke, he knocked two men away, and then quickly kicked out two feet, and the remaining two men also lay on the ground with their thighs in their arms.

"Stick your hands, go!" The young man saw that something was wrong, got up and ran out of the temple, and several of his men who followed also struggled to get up from the ground and staggered out of the hall.
