Chapter 228 Taoist Temple
"Ah Yi mentioned to me that he was going to the nearby Siming Taoist Temple to learn kung fu from the Taoist priests." The elementary school student seemed to see the eagerness of everyone in the Li family, and said immediately.

Several people were taken aback when they heard the words, Taoist temple?What a strange unfolding.

"It's really possible. Brother A Yi ran away from home, didn't he mean that he wanted to learn kung fu and didn't want to study?" Li Meier said from the side, thinking that according to Zhou Muyi's temperament, it is very possible to go to Taoist temple to learn kung fu.

"Thank you, let's go to the Siming Taoist Temple to look for it." Jiang thanked the elementary school student, then remembered something, thought about it, and asked, "There is one more thing, I don't know if you know it. Why was Yi expelled from the academy?"

Just now the teacher from that academy said that Zhou Muyi was expelled for picking quarrels and provoking troubles. Mrs. Jiang always felt that with Zhou Muyi's temperament, he would not cause trouble for no reason.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the elementary school student's face, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I can't say anything about it. When you find him, you can ask him yourself."

Seeing the student's expression, Jiang didn't continue to ask, but thanked him again, and then watched him go back to the academy.

"What should we do now? Do we really want to go to the Siming Taoist Temple?" Jiang Youzhi asked helplessly.

"Go! No matter what, find the person first." Jiang said with certainty.

This Siming Taoist Temple is the only Taoist Temple on Siming Mountain. Although Jiang Youzhi has heard of it, he doesn't know the exact location. They can only go down the mountain first, go to the town to inquire about it, and then go to the Taoist Temple.

After asking a few townspeople, I found out the route to Siming Taoist Temple. Fortunately, it was not far from the town, and it took about half an hour to walk there.

The group started to climb the mountain again. Li Meier was numb right now. Although her legs and feet were sore, she still walked forward habitually.Without stopping all the way, everyone soon arrived at Siming Taoist Temple.

This Taoist temple is not big. Standing at the mountain gate outside, you can see several halls inside the temple. There are only three halls. The incense in the Taoist temple is obviously not prosperous. They stood outside the mountain gate for a while, but no one came in. view.

Several members of the Li family watched outside the mountain gate for a while, and then they attracted Dao Tong, an intellectual from the Taoist temple. He walked up to them, made a salute, and asked, "Are the monks going to enter the temple to offer incense?" ?"

"We are here to find someone." Seeing that the little Taoist boy was not much older than herself, Li Meier said with curious eyes.

"Which senior brother in Guannei is the layman looking for?" Xiao Daotong obviously rarely saw a little girl like Li Meier, and because of the cuteness of Yuxue born by her, his tone of voice was much softer.

"It's so tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, about twelve or thirteen years old, and only came to your temple two months ago, do you know, little brother?" Li Meier was afraid that Zhou Muyi didn't say her real name Son, I described his appearance to the little Taoist priest.

"Oh! You are talking about Layman Zhou!" Xiao Daotong suddenly nodded and said, "Layman Zhou is currently contemplating. I will take you to see him."

When the few people heard that Zhou Muyi was really in this Taoist temple, they were all overjoyed, and followed the little Taoist boy to the Taoist temple.

A group of people walked inside the mountain gate for a while, and then saw the main hall of the Taoist temple, the Jade Emperor Hall. There was a large open space in front of the hall, and many Taoist priests in the temple were punching in the open space.And standing in front of the Taoist priests was an old Taoist in his 40s.

The old Taoist was wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun on his head, simply decorated with a wooden hairpin, and three long beards under his forehead, which looked really fairy-like.

"Master, these laymen are here to look for Layman Zhou." Xiao Daotong bowed to the Taoist priest and said with his head down.

The old Taoist also saw the members of the Li family long ago, saluted and asked with a smile, "Who are the family members of Layman Zhou?"

Jiang Youzhi nodded, "We heard that Ah Yi came to your Taoist temple, and we came here to look for him. I don't know where he is now?"

"Lady Zhou is going to fetch water from Houshan Spring right now. Wait a minute. I'll have someone call him back." The old Taoist smiled, and then ordered a Taoist priest beside him to look for someone.

"The laymen might as well go to the wing room to rest and wait for a while." The old Taoist made a gesture of invitation with the others and said.

"Since we're here, let's enjoy incense and donate some merit to Guannei." Jiang said with a smile instead of rushing to the wing.She has always been an exquisite person, and she feels that since she has come to other people's Taoist temples, it is really unreasonable not to add some merit and silver to the incense sticks. Besides, Zhou Muyi has lived in this temple for a long time, thanks to the care of the Taoist priests in the temple, it should be given to her. They thank you.

Jiang Shi and Li Yan and Jiang Youzhi went to the temple to offer incense, while Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing stood outside watching the group of Taoist priests boxing. Both of them had practiced boxing before, but felt that the boxing of these Taoist priests was better than theirs. Those are much stronger.

Li Meier couldn't help but asked curiously: "Master Taoist, what kind of boxing technique did you learn? It looks so powerful."

That long smile didn't show Li Meier's indifference just because Li Meier was a child, she replied patiently: "This is my Quanzhen boxing technique, which subdues demons, so it's naturally better than ordinary boxing techniques."

Li Meier was very surprised when she heard it, and asked again: "The Taoist priest, have you ever subdued or subdued demons?"

The old man was very honest, he shook his head with a smile and said: "I haven't met any monsters yet, but the tiger has killed a few of them and caught some bandits."

"That's amazing. There are big worms on this mountain!" Li Meier was even more surprised. She had never seen a big worm before, and she didn't expect that there were big worms on Siming Mountain.

"There were a few in the past, but now I can't see them. Laymen can go up the mountain without worry." The old Taoist thought Li Mei'er was afraid, and said comfortingly.

"Did brother Ayi learn kung fu from you? Did you accept him as an apprentice? After he became a Taoist priest, would he have to live in a Taoist temple and not be able to marry a wife and have children?" Li Meier had a lot of questions in her mind. , asked out all in one brain.

"Mei Meier, you can't be so rude." Jiang Shanqing on the side hurriedly pulled Li Meier, pulled her behind, and then said to the old Taoist: "This Taoist priest, my sister is young and ignorant, don't mind "He felt that this old man was not like an ordinary person. Although he had an ordinary face, he had an invisible temperament, which was quite dangerous anyway.

"You two young laymen don't need to be nervous. I just let Layman Zhou stay in the temple for a while, and I don't intend to take him in as a disciple. His parents are all present at home, and he is bound by the world. It is his heart and nature, and he is not suitable to be my Quanzheng. Taoist." The old Taoist was still very amiable, and answered Li Meier's question with a smile.
