Chapter 743 Xuanxin Temple

Qingxuan Mountain is a famous mountain. Not only is the scenery in the mountain beautiful, but there is also a Xuanxin Temple, which is said to have been passed down for thousands of years and is very effective. To be honest, the Taoist priests in their temple would hold the portrait of their ancestors and say that there were several gods among their ancestors!
It was early morning, and even if tourists and pilgrims from near and far wanted to go up the mountain for sightseeing or burn incense and worship, they would not go out so early, so this mountain road was deserted. Only the drops of dew condensed on the grass leaves made the grass and trees look even greener.

At this moment, a tiger was flying forward along the mountain road. What was even more surprising was that a Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged on the tiger. Even though the tiger moved like the wind, the Taoist priest remained as steady as a mountain, unmoved.

Li Ming looked at the steps on the mountain road indifferently. One step after another was like a ladder to heaven. With his sharp eyes, he could naturally see a hint of immortality and tenacity hidden here. So he nodded and thought to himself.

"This place was indeed once an immortal gate. It was able to maintain itself for so many years even after losing its spirits. This shows that later generations also knew how to adapt. Let me see what it looks like now."

Soon, the man and the tiger arrived at Xuanxin Temple on the mountainside.

Xuanxin Temple is very large. Behind the gate is a very open square. In the center of the square is a huge incense burner. Although no pilgrims have arrived yet, the Taoist priests of the temple have added incense, emitting a faint fragrance.

At this moment, several Taoist children are cleaning.

"Today is the day for holding a Dharma Assembly. Not only will the people from the surrounding mountains come to eat porridge, but all the uncles and uncles in my temple will donate medical treatment and medicine, and many distinguished people will come to watch the ceremony. There can't be any mistakes or omissions!" An older Taoist boy was giving orders.

The other people were also busy cleaning up the fallen leaves. At this time, one of them heard a noise at the door and turned around to look. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he looked, he was so scared that he almost lost his soul.

The broom and other things in his hands fell to the ground in shock.

"Big, big, big tiger!"

"What tiger?" The older Taoist boy was about to scold. Although there were some wild animals in Qingxuan Mountain, there were people walking there every year. Large wild boars, leopards, tigers and the like would never appear. Even if there were, they would never come to Xuanxin Temple.

Thinking this in his mind, he slowly turned around, but unexpectedly, there was a giant tiger standing at the entrance of Xuanxin Temple, and on the tiger's back was a young Taoist priest.

The Taoist boy was also shocked, but he grew up in Xuanxin Temple after all, and was older and more experienced, so he was not scared to the point of being at a loss. Seeing the Taoist riding a tiger, he knew that the tiger was probably tamed by the Taoist and would not hurt anyone at will, so he took a deep breath and said.

"Master, may I ask what may I do for you?"

Li Ming chuckled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I went hiking. I saw that your temple is full of Taoist spirit, so I wanted to ask for a cup of tea."

"Of course, senior, please come in. However, your mount is not as good as mine."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. My Dahuang has always been well-behaved and has no intention of hurting anyone. I just draw a circle and tell him not to go out of the circle. Also, please give some tea to my Dahuang. He carried me here and must be tired." Li Ming laughed and drew a big circle with his feet at the entrance of Xuanxin Temple. Dahuang was very obedient and lay inside without moving.

"Junior will do it right away." The Taoist boy responded and then told others to notify the temple master. At the same time, he walked in front and led Li Ming into Xuanxin Temple.

Li Ming nodded and followed the Taoist boy all the way to the back garden of Xuanxin Temple.

I saw an old Taoist with white beard sitting cross-legged on a piece of blue stone, seemingly meditating and refining his energy.

But Li Ming only needed a glance to know his true identity. Although he had some Taoist skills, they were not righteous. However, this was also due to the limitations of the world. After the opening of the Jedi Heaven Gate, the spiritual energy of this world was also exhausted. However, no one opened the Heaven Gate to attract the monsters, so they took a different path.

"I'm honored." Li Ming smiled and bowed.

The Taoist opened his eyes slightly, but his pupils were not cloudy at all, but rather as gentle as jade, with a gleam of brilliance. Seeing that Li Ming was dressed neatly, with an extraordinary demeanor, and his every move was natural, and someone had come to report that the Taoist had come riding a tiger, he naturally did not dare to neglect him.

So he said with a smile on his face: "Hahaha, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist. May I know what your name is?"

"I am Miao Lingzi." Li Ming didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly showed a rather playful smile.

"Old Taoist Ming Lingzi, the abbot of Xuanxin Temple, I wonder who your master is and what advice you have for me today?" Ming Lingzi looked Li Ming up and down and spoke politely. He also personally poured a cup of tea for Li Ming.

"This is wild tea from the mountains. Although it's not precious, it's elegant and refreshing. Fellow Daoist, you can try it."

"Thank you." Li Ming nodded in thanks, took a sip, and found it was indeed full of fragrance, so he nodded.

"I have been a hermit in the mountains for many years, and my teacher is unknown. However, I adhere to the correct Dharma and came here today because I heard that the Xuanxin Temple is full of great Taoist masters, so I came to see it. I never thought that..."

Having said that, he suddenly sighed, with a look of loss on his face.

“It turns out they are all just deceitful people who steal reputations.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Lingzi's expression changed, and he snorted coldly: "Daoyou, I see that you have an extraordinary demeanor and treat me with courtesy, so why do you bully me like this!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and clapped his hands. Immediately, more than twenty Taoists holding sticks came in one after another. Each of them walked with the gait of a tiger and a dragon, with muscles so strong that they almost burst through their Taoist robes. It was obvious at a glance that they were proficient in martial arts.

The old Taoist shouted, "If you don't give me an explanation, I might even disregard our friendship and teach you a lesson today!"

At Ming Lingzi's command, a group of Taoists immediately rushed forward. After all, Xuanxin Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, and their ancestors were once wealthy. Although it has fallen into decline due to the changes in the world, it has been able to survive to this day, so it must have some real skills.

Without the true method, the art of fighting naturally became the top priority. If the Taoist martial artists in Xuanxin Temple were placed in the martial arts world, they would also be first-rate fighters. The temple master Ming Lingzi is even a well-known master in the martial arts world!

At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, a glimmer in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had no intention of taking action. But the next moment, a scene that shocked him appeared.

The young Taoist priest just rolled up his sleeves and a gust of wind blew past, and the twenty strong Taoist priests could not get close to him.

"This this."

Ming Lingzi was filled with horror, and immediately shouted, "How dare you, my fellow Taoist, use the little mana I have painstakingly accumulated like this? Since you have come to bully me, I have no choice but to fight you to the end!"
