The two wagons were struggling to navigate the roads outside the city, and no amount of the coachman's whip could make them go even the slightest.

The location of Qingxiayu is really too remote, although there are believers in the past generations who have spared no effort to open up a people's road, but it still seems remote.

Seeing that the two horses were beginning to sweat, the coachman let out a sigh and stopped the cart, and he still relied on the two horses to eat, but he could not exhaust them because of this reward.

Lin Haoyu fanned the wind a little anxiously, and kept muttering: "Coachman, hurry up, the master's immortal fate is just ahead, delay the master's big event, be careful that the master deducts your reward." ”

The coachman wiped his sweat, nodded and replied: "Returning to my son, it's not that it's not small, it's really a steep and difficult mountain road." As the saying goes, good things are grinding, and there are so many tribulations for the son to go up the mountain, it must be a good thing among good things, or don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"

When Lin Haoyu heard the coachman say this, he was immediately overjoyed, nodded and said: "You little old man is also interesting, listen to what you say, listen to it! When you get to Qingxia Temple, the master will give you a lot of money!"

When the coachman heard this, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, he had seen that there were more people who went to the temple to ask for fate, these people really didn't care about the so-called fairy fate, and said two good words casually, he looked at the prince and used this set of words, but he didn't find that this rich prince was really stupid and had a lot of money;

Rong Ma took a breath, and continued to wave his whip towards the mountain, and in the distance, he saw a Taoist temple peeking out of the green trees.

An old Taoist priest in a green sermon robe stood in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, and when he saw the carriage coming up from the mountain road, he knew that a big family was coming, so he hurriedly greeted him, held Tai Chi in his hand, and asked in a long voice: "Compassion and mercy, the poor Taoist is the leader, these two donors, do you want to come to my Qingxia Temple?"

The coachman hurriedly stopped the car, Lin Haoyu jumped out of the car, and saluted the old Taoist repeatedly: "This immortal chief, Xiaosheng is going to Qingxia Temple to find fate, here is the certificate given to me by the Taoist of Shenxuzi, and I hope that the Taoist will make a recommendation." ”

When the old Taoist heard the words "Shenxuzi", a hint of banter flashed in his eyes, but when he looked at Lin Haoyu's expression, he was full of respect, and the one in his hand was holding a small immortal cultivation license, and a smile appeared on his face.

I only listened to this old Taoist for a long time, and coughed lightly: "This is easy to do, easy to do." Since it was introduced to my Qingxia Temple by the predecessors of Shenxuzi, it is easy to say. May I ask this son, what is on the car?"

"A few pieces of cloth and a hundred jars of good wine can be regarded as a meeting gift for all the immortals. Lin Haoyu said respectfully, casually pulling a corner of the carport.

The old man looked at the mark of "Drunken Immortal Brew" on the wine altar, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a faint glimmer of crystal light at the corner of his mouth, he barely held on to his heart, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then follow the poor road up the mountain." ”

This Qingxia view, from the outside looks quite magnificent, but when you get closer, you find its dilapidated place: the main hall is better, but the side courtyard, the wing room, and the Dan room are dilapidated, and some simply use a few handfuls of thatch, a few wooden planks barely cover the holes in the roof, compared with those Buddhist temples, it can be said that it is the difference between cloud and mud.

But Lin Haoyu doesn't care about these, everyone in the world has a prejudice, that is, the poorer the Taoist priest, the more like the master of the Tao, because the Taoist does nothing, he has nothing to do, what else do he want?

So Lin Haoyu smiled and bowed to the old Taoists who came one by one, and kept shouting at the left and right immortals, and those Taoist priests were also laughing, helping the coachman to unload the wine and cloth, or not smelling the wine, and judging the cloth quality.

At this time, Lin Haoyu completely forgot that he had made up his mind to come because he felt that this "Qingxia View" was reliable.

After settling the fare and sending the coachman, Lin Haoyu followed a Taoist priest in his thirties to the Danfang behind, and the Taoist priest glanced at Lin Haoyu on the left and then at Lin Haoyu, just like looking at a rare treasure.

Lin Haoyu didn't feel anything at first, but in the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth to ask, "This immortal chief, why do you always look at Xiao Ke?"

The strange smile on the Taoist priest's face flashed, and he said a little perfunctorily: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen such a pious believer in Gongzi for a long time, and I'm just curious." ”

Lin Haoyu thought about the dilapidated houses in the Taoist temple, and his heart was clear, this Qingxia Temple is now withering incense, and the income is much less than the Buddhist temples and ancient temples under the mountain.

When he arrived at the main room in the backyard, the middle-aged Taoist priest stretched out his hand to lead it inside and said, "Donor, please come in, the Guanlan Taoist of the Guanguan Prison is waiting for the donor inside." ”

Lin Haoyu nodded, a little cramped, and a little excited to walk towards the Danfang, behind him, the Taoist priests who had just packed up a pile of wine and cloth looked at his back with a grin.

This Guanlan Taoist is comparable to Shen Xuzi, just sitting with a whisk in his hand, wearing a purple robe, outlining gold wire, sitting on a mahogany chair, at the end is a worldly master, the simple face is wrinkled, it seems to be profound, those eyes are not at all like an old man should be, as if he has the ability to penetrate people's hearts.

"Boy Lin Haoyu, visit the prison. Lin Haoyu didn't wait for the Guanlan Daoist to speak, so he knelt down in his clothes and respectfully presented the certificate with both hands.

Guanlan Daoren's eyebrows were raised, his eyes imperceptibly brought a trace of inexplicable smile, he stretched out his hand to help him, and a huge force helped Lin Haoyu up, and the certificate flew into his hand like a dancing butterfly.

This is just the most basic application of internal force, Lin Haoyu is focused on the future of entering the Tao at the moment, and he only regards it as a metasturgical method, and his admiration is even greater.

Guanlan Daoist unfolded the certificate, his face changed, but he nodded without a trace, and said, "Master Lin Haoyu, are you the one who was introduced to me by the predecessor of Shenxuzi?"

Lin Haoyu nodded and explained the experience of the day. The infinite worship of the Divine Void Son in his voice was like a surging river, endless.

After hearing this, the Guanlan Daoist groaned slightly, and said: "Since you are sincerely asking, and you have the guidance of the predecessors of the Divine Void Son, there is no hindrance, but this seeking Tao and asking immortals pays attention to the word 'fate'. Besides, your immortal cultivation license is second-hand, and the master's name is here, and I can't see who the surname is, and I have clearly filled it in, so this fate is ......?"

The Guanlan Daoist seemed to have pointed out, but Lin Haoyu didn't listen to it, but just nodded vigorously: "Of course Xiaosheng is prepared, and it is really Xiaosheng's lifelong wish to enter the Tao." ”

Say it, Lin Haoyu presented the jade Ruyi he bought before.

The Guanlan Daoist looked at the jade Ruyi, a trace of blush flashed on his face, and then he stretched out his hand to help him up, and said slowly: "Donor, please get up, we cultivators, what we pay attention to is to participate in the Xuan Enlightenment Dao, and to ascend to the Immortals, what is the importance of these vulgar things?"

Guanlan Daoist said this, but on the other hand, he put this jade Ruyi in his sleeve without a trace, and then took out a jade seal, and then stamped a seal on Lin Haoyu's immortal cultivation license: "That's it." ”

Lin Haoyu didn't pay attention to that little action, he took the immortal cultivation permit, and he was already overjoyed at this time. Striking while the iron was hot, Lin Haoyu immediately said again: "Dao Chief, the kid is here to seek immortal fate, and I also ask Dao Chang to take him as an apprentice!"

"This ......" Guanlan Daoist looked at Lin Haoyu, but there was embarrassment in his eyes, but he looked at Lin Haoyu dressed in brocade, his eyes rolled again, and he said: "This apprentice is not simply talking, but also looking at sincerity;

After repeating it twice, Lin Haoyu understood it, and felt depressed in his heart: "Damn, it's really a second-hand, I thought that Taoist priest teased me, it turned out to be a second-hand, my master doesn't know which onion it is, what kind of fart master! Why don't I take that blue Dao Yuan?"

But he didn't dare to respond, he just hated this oolong that he made trouble, anyway, it was just a license to cultivate immortals, and it was a big deal that the master burned it.

In front of him, Lin Haoyu said excitedly: "The kid can't ask for it!"

"Well," seeing Lin Haoyu's excited appearance, the Guanlan Daoist pretended to say again, "Since the donor wants to live here, then he has to act according to the rules of my door, can you?"

"No problem!" Lin Haoyu said immediately.

"So, how about starting the first lesson of the donor's introduction now?" said Guanlan Daoist again.

"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it!" Lin Haoyu said busily.

"The first one for the donor is 'work your bones and calm your mind, and send your desire to cut the marrow'. After that, without waiting for Lin Haoyu to ask more, he summoned the Taoist priest who had just led Lin Haoyu in:

"If you want to, you take the donor around and answer your questions. Tell the temple to follow the rules, and start the first lesson of my class after the morning class tomorrow, remember, you must take care of the donor. ”

wanted to receive his life, so he took Lin Haoyu out of the door and led him to walk in Qingxia Temple. Lin Haoyu asked, "I don't know how to call the Taoist in the future?"

"My brother's surname is Jiang, the common name is Jiang Yuan, and the master gave me the name Desire, and you will call me the Desire Taoist in the future. He smiled and said gently, "In this Qingxia View, there are five disciples of Shizun, the poor Dao mana is low and the path is slight, and they are only listed in the fifth, and the other four people are the senior brother Lixin, the second senior brother Liyue, the third senior brother is absolutely absolute, and the fourth senior brother is clear." The senior brother and the second senior brother are traveling abroad, the third senior brother is in retreat in the temple, and the fourth senior brother you will see you tomorrow in the morning class. ”

"What about the other people in the temple?" Lin Haoyu couldn't help asking, and when he entered the door, he saw at least a dozen Taoist priests.

He smiled and said, "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother all have two or three personal disciples, and the rest are Taoist friends who come here to place orders." Nowadays, the incense is not prosperous, but there are few laymen who help. Like a donor, there were in the past, but now there are very few!"

Lin Haoyu nodded, and wrote it down. Along the way, he followed Jiang Liwan to travel all over the Qingxia Temple, visited a building that is said to have a long history and rich stories, but is actually in disrepair, and learned about the history of the entire Qingxia Temple.

As if thinking of something, Lin Haoyu suddenly asked: "Daoist Chief, I don't know what the eight words of the first lesson of Daoist Guanlan refer to?"

"You mean the eight words 'work bones and calm the mind, send desire to cut the marrow', right?" Jiang Liyu smiled and replied gently, "I am the first to recultivate the mind, this work and meditation, from the "Taishang Laojun Said Changqing Jingjing", that is, to understand the world through labor, which is the so-called 'the foundation of the moving person'. Only by knowing movement can we keep quiet, and only by knowing humiliation can we seek glory. ”

Listening to this explanation, remembering what happened to him in Crouching Tiger Village and what he thought afterward, Lin Haoyu nodded with admiration on his face.

I only heard Jiang Liyu continue: "The so-called four words of desire to cut the marrow are to seek 'silence'. In the "Sutra of Tranquility", the cloud "there is no loneliness, how can desire be born", that is, to expel desire, so that the loneliness of desirelessness reaches deep into the bone marrow, and naturally desirelessness is rigid. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Liyi showed a smile: "The combination of these eight words is the cloud in the "Qingjing Sutra", 'often able to send his desires, and the heart is quiet, and the heart is clear and the mind is clear'." ”

Lin Haoyu listened, his face was adoring and yearning, the two asked and answered, and soon returned to the apse, which is where many Taoist priests live.

Jiang Lixiang pointed to a side room and said: "That is the Dan room arranged for pilgrims in the temple, but there is not much money and goods in the temple, so this daily use is also a little more bitter, and I ask the donor to forgive me." ”

Lin Haoyu looked at the wing room that could be called a leaky air everywhere, and raised his eyebrows fiercely; he had imagined the pain of entering the Dao, but how could he have imagined that it would be so painful? But the matter has come to this point, and his choice is to go to the end.

Led Lin Haoyu into the room, he said: "Since the donor has the heart to ask for help, then Poor Dao will send you some must-read materials for you later, involving the taboos of our Taoist temple, the rules of Taoism and some common sense." ”

"Then thank you, Chief. Lin Haoyu, who opened the door, turned his head and said with some difficulty. A qiē in the house hit his young, idealistic heart.

What a Dan room that is!

On the ceiling, two large holes were hastily blocked with thatch and wooden planks, and a few small holes were simply left unattended. A single bed flattened with stones, covered with a tattered quilt with cotton wool exposed, and the most outrageous thing was that there was a big hole in the head of the bed, and the wind was blowing into the room!

Lin Haoyu only felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground on the spot!
