Chapter 3 This Taoist Temple 3

If one were to find an adjective to describe the small Taoist temple in front of her, the only word Auntie could think of was dilapidated.In the Taoist temple in front of you, the wooden gate is creaking, creaking.Blown by the wind, swaying from side to side.The stone road covered with moss is faintly exposed.It was an old stone road, revealing a rotten atmosphere.The vermilion paint on the wall has become extremely blurred, and it seems that there are still gray things on it.

The dilapidated atmosphere rushed over, and the walls of this small Taoist temple had already collapsed a lot.Seeing the twitching face of the aunt, showing a shocked expression, Wang Xishan smiled and touched his nose, he seemed a little embarrassed.After all, Qinghe Village is famous for its beautiful scenery, but it is too poor.

Yes, that's right, although the mountains and rivers are beautiful here.But located in a remote area, extremely poor.In the past, many people moved out of here in a hurry.All those left behind are nostalgic old people and a group of uncompetitive young people.It was only in the last year that things started to get better. After all, the higher ups were going to vigorously develop Qinghe Village, and there were business opportunities everywhere.It's like the second child of his family, who rushed home after hearing the news this year, and is preparing to open a farmhouse.

My aunt has been to countless famous mountains and ancient temples, but this is the first time I have seen this dilapidated Taoist temple. The sound of 'creak, creak', there is only one dilapidated small Taoist temple on the bare mountain that looks like a hundred years ago.If you say that this Taoist temple looks really small from the outside, the mountain is huge and only occupies a small area, if you look down from the sky.Like an ant on an open flat ground.

The bricks and tiles on this small Taoist temple seem to have some holes, which looks extremely pitiful.The top of this mountain is extremely large, full of stones, without any trees, but the bottom of it is covered with lush forests, and behind it are rolling mountains.It was a vast primeval forest, seemingly endless.

Wang Xishan touched the back of his head and smiled helplessly, "Hey, this Taoist temple is the poorest in our village." Pointing to the dilapidated Taoist temple in front of him, he thought in his heart, that's not it.Although there are many poor people in the village, at least there is still a young and strong labor force. After going out to work for a few years, it can be regarded as returning home to build a small bungalow, not to mention how beautiful it is.Only in this Taoist temple, when the old Taoist priest Qingfeng was still there, he helped the people in the village to watch weddings and funerals, and occasionally performed rituals.He can't get much money, which means he has suffered for his disciples.

Fortunately, the elders in the village felt sorry for the child.From time to time, some money will be donated to the Taoist temple so that the children can buy rice with the money.The little Taoist is also sensible, and will help the village with anything.However, from the perspective of their elders, this old Taoist Qingfeng is extremely capable.But he never left Qinghe Village, and spent every day happily in the Taoist temple.And this child learned the skills of Taoist Qingfeng at home, and he refused to go out, and was bored in the Taoist temple every day.

Talking all day long about don't bother me, I'm going to be sanctified and stuff like that.Earlier, the elders in the village thought that the little Taoist was a monk and was confused.Later, it was found that the little Taoist spoke and behaved quite soberly, with strict logic.However, this little Taoist is sometimes enthusiastic and sometimes indifferent, which makes some young people in the village not used to it.The old people say that all capable people are like this.Don't look at the amiable appearance of the old Taoist Qingfeng, but Wang Xishan, who has had the most contact with him, knows that this Taoist Qingfeng is really arrogant in his bones.

The little Taoist learned the temper of this Qingfeng Taoist [-]%, the old man didn't take it seriously, but the young man couldn't bear it.Looking at the swinging wooden planks in front of him, Wang Xifan looked at the aunt in front of him and said, "Sister, did you... bring incense candles?"

Wang Xishan's words made the aunt's head dizzy. She never knew that she had to prepare incense candles herself when she came to the Taoist temple to pray for safety.Isn't it good to buy it in a Taoist temple?There was still some money in her bag, she pursed her lips and said, "Brother, this, I really never thought of buying incense candles myself."

The devil knows that this Taoist temple looks so dilapidated, and the aunt has a sense of frustration that she has come to the wrong place.That sense of powerlessness made her lose any interest in the decayed Taoist temple in front of her. Wang Xishan frowned, as if all the brows on her face were pinched together.

"There should still be some joss sticks in the Taoist temple. I don't know if the little Taoist priest has finished burning them. If the girl wants to pray for safety, after entering later, just ask the little Taoist priest for a joss stick. But if you ask for a peace talisman— I'm afraid there will be some trouble." Wang Xishan pursed his lips, showing an honest and honest look on his face, "Although the little Taoist priest has learned the skills of Taoist Qingfeng, he doesn't do it often, even if an old man in our village asks for a He has to come and pester him many times before he is willing to give it to him."

The aunt froze for a moment, then sneered in her heart, saying that was just an excuse, didn't she just want money?It seems that she really came to the wrong place. She thought that there are some Taoist priests in the backcountry, but it seems that they are just liars who cooperate with these villagers to deceive foreigners.

Of course, Big Mom didn't show it.She just said calmly, "That's it, what a pity. I don't know how much the little Taoist priest needs to give me a peace talisman. I heard people say that the little Taoist priest's peace talisman works."

"It's not about money!" Wang Xifan shook his head lightly. This Taoist temple in Qinghe is well-known in Taoist associations all over the country. Although it is not well-known, the Taoist association still sends some money every month for Daozhen to maintain his life.Otherwise, relying on them old people, Daozhen would have starved to death long ago.

But it's true that Dao really didn't want to draw a talisman. He always said that he was dishonest. Even if the safety talisman could block it once, it couldn't block it the second time.There are so many harms, and relying on external forces is not as good as cultivating others and self.Anyway, the truth of this little Taoist is one set after another, no one will not be confused by him.And the elders in the village were almost all uneducated people, so it was no surprise that they were stunned by such polite words from the little Taoist priest.

Gently pushing the door open, Wang Xishan was a little displeased.After all, this aunt insulted the purest place in his heart. In the eyes of the people of Qinghe Village, this Taoist temple is the purest place in the world.The gods here protect people, and the master of the Taoist temple is a person who is kind to others and has nothing to do with the world.

How vulgar it is to talk about money.Wang Xishan stepped into the Taoist temple, and saw the mottled green cauldron slowly emitting light smoke, and the aunt who followed behind saw a man in a moon-white Taoist robe sitting on a futon in the dilapidated small temple.The man was facing them, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but the sunlight shone on the already dilapidated windows, making the silhouette of the Taoist priest extremely long.The Taoist seemed to be reciting something, his voice was extremely clear, just like her high school students.The voice is still a little immature, and there is no distinction between male and female.

"Little Taoist priest Daozhen, someone wants to come to worship the statue and pray for safety!" Wang Xishan said as he walked carefully on the moss-covered stone slab.This stone slab looks extremely old, and it has long been impossible to tell what it is made of.Although Wang Xishan didn't like the aunt who came from the city, but he was the most honest and loyal farmer, he turned his head and said to the aunt, "Sister, be careful, don't worry. The road here is slippery. to fall to the ground."

The aunt nodded slightly. She knew from the moment she stepped on the bluestone slab that this place was extremely slippery, and she didn't know how long it had been repaired.It seems that there is still some dampness when stepping on it. With the sound of chanting sutras softly, Wang Xishan and the aunt finally walked slowly into this dilapidated small temple.

In the small temple, the aunt can appreciate the dilapidation of the small temple. Under the bluestone steps is a dusty merit box, which is placed on the right side in front of the steps. I don’t know how long it has not been used.In the middle of the steps is a dilapidated and mottled tripod, which can be vaguely seen as if it is carved with something.But Auntie couldn't recognize it long ago. When she looked up, a beam of sunlight shone unobstructed on the Taoist temple. A little half of the bricks and tiles of the Taoist temple were gone, and it looked extremely dilapidated.

In front of him is a bronze statue full of dust. This bronze statue is not tall and does not seem to have the slightest golden light. It is obviously not made of gold plating, but it looks like a stone statue.The little Taoist priest's hands were white in the sun. He slowly flipped through the book and said in a low voice, "It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Layman, let's go. It is not suitable to pay homage to the Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Heavens today!"

The aunt was stunned for a moment, looked at the incense candles on the small pot at the front desk, and said in a low voice, "Master, I just want to ask for peace of mind."

"But, is your heart really stable?" The little Taoist lowered his head, and the aunt couldn't see the Taoist's face clearly in the backlight.The Taoist priest's voice was very clear and firm, and he said loudly, "Everyone in the world wants the protection of the gods, but who can protect the gods? Asking for others is better than asking for yourself! Let's go, layman! There is no one you are looking for here, nor you. something you want."

Looking at the dilapidated Taoist temple and the little Taoist priest looking down at the book, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.It seems that the little Taoist priest in this Taoist temple does not seem to be deceiving, and let her go when she opens it. It sounds like a trick, but it seems to contain some kind of mystery.The aunt's head was dizzy, she shook her head and said, "Master, I just want to worship the god statue, please be safe!"

The Taoist laughed lightly, pointed his hand lightly at the stone statue placed on the dusty platform in front of him, and said softly, "It's just a stone, what's there to worship?"

The head of the little Taoist slowly raised up!
