Chapter 253: Traveling the World (10)

The current Taoist forces have basically withdrawn from Jingzhou and gone to other states on the continent where there is no religious power to continue to develop believers, and there are only some small Taoist sects left in Jingzhou that are not considered martial arts sects, concentrate on cultivation, and do not want to continue The turbulent small Taoist sects continue to exist on the edge of Jingzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but those small Taoist sects themselves are marginal forces of Taoism, so they existed on the edge from the beginning, and now they don't have to continue to move.

And Tang Yunxiang, after arriving in Jingzhou, saw a Taoist temple and a nunnery. This Taoist temple and the nunnery are very close to each other, and both are built outside the city, so they are built opposite each other, and the two stand opposite the door. And Tang Yunxiang, just when he passed by this Taoist temple and the nunnery, Tang Yunxiang felt a very strong emotion, emanating from that nunnery, if it weren't for Tang Yunxiang's cultivation of the Heavenly Book of Forgetfulness, he wouldn't have felt it.

For the nunnery and the Taoist temple opposite, Tang Yunxiang had long sensed that the two families here were people who had not practiced martial arts, but had only practiced a little internal strength, and there were some third-rate martial arts, and the overall strength was the same as that of the two sects that did not enter the stream. Therefore, Tang Yun didn't have to treat the Jianghu sect like he did with them, so he directly climbed over the wall and rushed directly to the place he felt.

When Tang Yunxiang came to that place with strong emotions, he saw a tomb and an old Taoist priest in front of the tomb. The incomparably strong emotions that Tang Yunxiang felt before were emanating from this old Taoist priest's body. Tang Yunxiang walked to the old Taoist priest's side, and saw that the tomb in front of the old Taoist priest was the tomb of a nun, thinking that it was the nun of this nunnery, and the relationship with this old Taoist priest was not shallow, otherwise this old Taoist priest would not have such a strong emotional existence.

In front of the old Taoist priest was a set of tea sets, slowly boiling tea, the fragrance of tea slowly emanated, Tang Yunxiang sniffed lightly, and found that although this tea fragrance was not a very expensive tea, but the tea fragrance contained an indescribable emotion in it, which made Tang Yunxiang intoxicated. Tang Yunxiang walked to the old Taoist's side, sat down slowly, and said, "You, can you tell me your story?"

The old Taoist priest opened his eyes and looked at Tang Yunxiang who was sitting beside him, and he was not surprised how Tang Yunxiang came in, nor was he curious about why Tang Yunxiang wanted to know his story, the old Taoist priest was not curious about everything about Tang Yunxiang, nor was he interested, but some people wanted to hear their own stories, and the old Taoist priest was still willing to tell it. The two of them sat in front of the nun's grave for a long time, and only after the tea boiled and the old Taoist priest gave a cup of tea to Tang Yunxiang before they began to tell.

Tang Yunxiang held a cup of tea and quietly listened to the story of the old Taoist.

The old Taoist priest grew up in this Taoist temple since he was a child, and when he grew up, he heard his senior brother and master say that he was put in a basket and placed at the door of the Taoist temple, so the old Taoist priest also didn't know who his parents were, and he didn't want to know, the old Taoist priest's character was very quiet, and he didn't want to experience the magnificent life of the rivers and lakes, but he just wanted to cultivate quietly in this small Taoist temple, and then just like this for a lifetime.

But the old Taoist priest longed for half of the life when he was a child, because when the old Taoist priest was seven years old, there was also a little girl in the nunnery opposite their Taoist temple, an orphan picked up by the old nun in the nunnery on the street, and the age was the same as that of the old Taoist priest at that time, they were all seven years old. And they were all children at the time, and they lacked playmates, so the two of them often played together, and their relationship was growing day by day.

At that time, whether it was the old Taoist's master or the senior brother, or the girl's master, they did not object to the old Taoist priest and they liked each other when they grew up, and they were also ready to let them return to the vulgar and start a family when they grew up. But at that time, at the beginning of the once-in-a-decade battle of Jingzhou between Zhengzhi Taoism and Buddhism, the old Taoist priests who belonged to the Taoist side had to participate in the Taoist temple and the nunnery opposite.

At the time when the old Taoist priest was young, because Taoism and Buddhism existed in Jingzhou, in order to maintain the land and mission sites of each sect in Jingzhou, Taoism and Buddhism agreed to start a debate meeting every ten years to decide the land to be used for missionary work by the two religions in the next ten years. At that time, both Leiyin Temple and Qinglu Cliff were greatly damaged because of the Battle of the Demon Sect, so in that debate meeting, Qinglu Cliff and Leiyin Temple did not participate.

Without the Qinglu Cliff and Leiyin Temple, which were led by both sides, and restrained both sides, the debate conference was directly launched into a martial arts competition. Because whether it is a cultivator or a Buddhist cultivator, they will practice one or two martial arts, and neither side has a sect that can suppress both sides, and both sides do not believe in the debate that the other side says, and they are not willing to believe it, so in the end, it can only be the action of whose fist is bigger and who says the right thing has become a farce.

And this debate meeting that became a farce curbed the development of Taoist and Buddhist forces in Jingzhou, and the original high-spirited development suddenly became declining, and in that farce, there were many Taoist temples and Buddhist temples because a lot of people died, and there were all the people who went, and then they died, and there was no future.

And the old Taoist priests, their Taoist temples, and the nunnery opposite, all went to the only few high-level people, and then they all died there. By the time the old Taoist priest knew about it, the old Taoist priest, who was only ten years old, and the ten-year-old little girl opposite, had a Taoist temple and a nunnery by themselves, and slowly persevered until now. At that time, the relationship between the old Taoist priest and the little girl was already very strong, and at that time they also knew some things that adults should know, and the adults on both sides had already told them, and they themselves were looking forward to their future days, but this incident happened, for their home, Taoist temple and nunnery, they didn't want the Taoist temple and nunnery to be so deserted, and abandoned, so their two children, through the help of the people in the city, barely survived, supporting the Taoist temple and nunnery with only one person leftใ€‚ The two of them are getting older, their relationship is getting stronger and stronger, and their Taoism is getting deeper and deeper, but neither of them proposes to live a life of marriage.
