I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 255 [Zhen Jing Zhenren]

Qingniu Temple is located in Qingniu Mountain in Sichuan City. It is different from Yangxin Temple where Guanshan Taoist is located. It is a Taoist temple that is open to the public from time to time.

Jiangcheng, Sichuancheng, Hucheng...

There are many Taoist temples in these areas and they are deeply influenced by Taoist culture.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, although the holidays have not yet officially arrived, some schools have already begun their winter vacation.

Many students, or office workers who have already taken vacation in advance, usually take advantage of this time before the Chinese New Year to find a place to travel. No matter where the goal is, they just need to stay away from their regular work place and study environment, and try to eliminate school, The stress and fatigue of going to work.

On the densely populated mountain road, a burly figure was flying past other tourists and heading up the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

'I don't know if there are any other good things in Qingniu Temple besides the amulet. '

Within a few minutes, Lu Zhengyi came to a flat land near the top of the mountain, which was the destination for tourists.

The mist-like incense smoke hit his face. As early as halfway up the mountain, he could smell the vague aroma. When he reached the mountain, the smell suddenly became several times stronger.

Not far away, in front of the Qing Niu Temple, three huge incense burners were placed at the door. The three large incense sticks on top were emitting sparks on a copper stand. From time to time, incense ash and embers would fall from them and fall into the stove below. .

There are also densely packed small incense sticks beside the incense burner, which are all purchased by tourists or brought up the mountain as offerings.

'It is indeed a famous Taoist temple. '

Lu Zhengyi walked towards the entrance of the Taoist temple step by step, while the tourists beside him couldn't help but avoid him.

His trip this time did not plan to be long, so except for the cane with the black snake in his hand, no one else followed him.

Even Ayong, who usually follows him, is the same.

But before Lu Zhengyi could reach the door, he entered the temple.

Suddenly, a young man with an average appearance but an inexplicably clean appearance walked out of the crowd next to him and walked straight towards his position.

"Hello, Director Lu."

As soon as they met, the man in purple robes spoke slowly and firmly, and looked at Lu Zhengyi up and down, as if he was exploring his situation.

His approach is very direct and does not hide his inner thoughts.

The other people around him not only seemed to have heard nothing about Lu Zhengyi, but also seemed not to have seen the Taoist Priest.

"...Principal Qing Jingzhen?"

Lu Zhengyi hesitated to speak, and also kept sizing up the person in front of him.

Today, the master of Qingniu Temple is called Chang Qingjing. He is the master of Guanshan Taoist and one of the only Taoist practitioners with high skills.

Although he looks very young in face and body, it can be seen that Taoist Shan is already forty now, and the other party, as a fellow uncle of the same generation as his master, must be at least ninety in age.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Huang's old acquaintance should be this pure person.

"it's me."

Master Qingjing's very short answer was not as rigid as Lu Zhengyi expected.

There was no salute, no hand holding a fly whisk, and no chanting of scriptures...

He did not show any of the complicated etiquette and rules that Taoist priests often have to learn during evening classes, even as the master of Qingniu Temple, one of the ancestral temples of Taoism.

"You are indeed special."

Then, Master Qingjing suddenly said, "You... must be a person who has lived in the second life, right?"

His title changed very straightforwardly, from 'you' to 'you'. '

……

Compared with the front yard where pilgrims come and go, the backyard of Qingniu Temple is like installing thick sound insulation boards to directly isolate the noisy sounds.

The inner courtyard was completely silent, with only the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests. Even the Taoists who passed by from time to time did so lightly, for fear of disturbing anything.

In a quiet room, Lu Zhengyi and Master Qingjing sat opposite each other.

The mahogany table between the two people was empty, with no objects placed on it.

Master Qingjing looked at Lu Zhengyi with eyes full of exploration.

Probably because of the relationship with Taoist Guanshan, he already has a certain understanding of himself, so there is nothing

Lu Zhengyi faced him directly, his expression remained calm even after his identity was revealed.

As for the snake staff, he placed it outside.

In the ensuing conversation, it was obvious that the black snake was not suitable to be present.

"You don't seem surprised that I came to this conclusion."

Finally, Master Qingjing broke the silence, "Is it because you have lived the second life that you have absolute confidence?"

Obviously, he was surprised that the few words he just said when they met did not cause more emotional fluctuations on the other person's face.

"There is a saying that dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only within the range of the cannon."

Lu Zhengyi replied softly, "If you think of this sentence as a formula, it can be applied to all situations. Just like I am just an office worker earning thousands of dollars a month. When I walk into a high-end restaurant, I will pay special attention to my etiquette. and posture, trying to fit into that atmosphere.”

"But if I'm rich and making money every day, then even if I walk into a high-end restaurant wearing slippers and a vest, I can handle it calmly and not care at all about other people's eyes."

"In that scenario, wealth is the edge and the truth."

As for the other party being able to come to the conclusion that he had 'lived a second life', Lu Zhengyi was not surprised.

He realized his past life in the middle of his life, not from the beginning.

This also makes Lu Zhengyi's behavior pattern in the past ten years different from that in the future, with a lot more experience and calmness than he should have had.

And he didn't deliberately hide his behavior.

Therefore, for those information that has deviations, people like Qingjing Zhenren only need to arrange for a simple inspection to know his situation.

Regarding this point, Zhang Xueming has mentioned it several times, but probably because of her status as a 'practitioner', she did not pay too much attention or explore it.

But as people on the path of spiritual practice, Master Qingjing obviously has different views.

When people embark on the path of spiritual practice, they will of course change some of their personalities and behaviors.

Just like Yu Wenxiu, the concept of wealth is getting weaker and weaker now; Like Zhou Jie, a person in her 40s actually has the idea of ​​establishing an organization and controlling the world; Like Xu Bingcai, from a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor to a A famous doctor who was officially defined as a 'treasure' by Guangzhou Government...

Taking this path has a huge impact on a person.

But whether it is a good influence or a bad influence, these things are a process.

Lu Zhengyi obviously lacks a process.

For a Taoist priest who has learned this knowledge since childhood, Qingjing Zhenren is not unfamiliar with the idea of ​​'reincarnation and re-cultivation'.

Although it seems mysterious in the modern context, it is acceptable and conclusive.

Especially when the other party took a picture like "Double Eyes".

"People of the older generation are more reserved in their speech." Qingjing Zhenren always stared at him closely, and his words were very direct, "But if you don't wear formal clothes and walk into that kind of environment, if you say 'money, money, money', you will be criticized. People say he is a rich man, a nouveau riche, something like that.”

From the meeting to the simple acquaintance, and then to this room, throughout the whole process, he seemed to be vigorous and resolute, without a single word of unnecessary politeness.

"If I only had a few hundred thousand, and I got it by luck, and I didn't know how to earn more, I might be angry and dissatisfied with these titles."

Regarding the term 'older generation', Lu Zhengyi raised his eyebrows and continued to reply, "But if I have all this money and firmly believe that I have the ability to earn more, then why would I care about these voices? Right and wrong are all day long. Yes, if you don’t listen, there will be nothing.”

"..." Master Qingjing listened and was quiet for a while, then suddenly said, "So you don't deny this conclusion, right?"

Lu Zhengyi said nothing and looked at him silently.

"...Then, senior, are you willing to help me clear up my doubts?"

Master Qingjing hesitated, stood up and bowed, "Excuse me...are you still Lu Zhengyi?"

It was still a very direct inquiry.

People have various temperaments. Although they both came from Taoism, when Taoist Guanshan first met, they would chat politely every time they met, but his uncle looked different. people.

"I have a good relationship with Taoist Master Guanshan. He has helped me a lot. I can answer this question for you."

Lu Zhengyi did not remain silent this time, "I am Lu Zhengyi."

After a pause, "The me who only existed for more than ten years and the me before were not one swallowing up the other, but a combination."

"We are influenced by each other and create a new individual."

"And what occupies more of this individual is the one with a deeper awareness of existence."

Qingjing Zhenren straightened up, looking slightly disappointed.

Although this question was asked to the other party, it was also closely related to himself.

But after a second thought, he accepted this fact.

Because this is very similar to the situation recorded in the ancient books in Guanzhong.

"One more question, do you think the practice is real?"

Master Qingjing asked again. No one sat down, they just stood there.

But at this point, he paused and said, "I heard my nephew mentioned that Director Lu needs some special items to protect your employees."

"We can provide some help with that."

"Although the function is very limited, the quality will be higher than the amulets we drew."

As he spoke, he took out a small red bag from his pocket and placed it on the table.

To the first question, Lu Zhengyi gave the answer out of consideration for Taoist Guanshan.

Then the second question requires payment.

Although Master Qingjing is a straight-tempered person, after living for so many years, it’s not that he doesn’t understand, it’s just that most people don’t need him to understand the twists and turns.

"Sit down and talk."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him standing next to him, and after giving a reminder, he reached out and picked up the red bag on the table.

In appearance, it is similar to the amulet given to them by Taoist Guanshan.

But when he opened the bag, what was inside was not some yellow paper, but a coin that looked to be quite old.

Lu Zhengyi hesitated and put his finger into the red bag.

And as soon as his fingers touched the coins, he could feel the rough frosting feeling caused by rust.

On the rusty surface, there is a word engraved on both sides.

But what the specific meaning is and which dynasty it comes from, Lu Zhengyi, a layman, cannot tell.

"The history of the Tang Dynasty is very long, and in some of the dynasties that existed for a long time, even the currency traded was tainted with a little spirituality, capable of carrying the blessings of the ancestors, and possessing the quality of exorcising evil and avoiding disasters."

After Master Qingjing sat down, he explained softly, "The effectiveness of these items is very limited, but they should be enough to ensure the safety of your employees."

"Even the black snake outside will have to spend some effort to use up the blessings on this copper coin."

"But there aren't many people of his level in today's era."

A smile appeared on Lu Zhengyi's face, "It's a good thing, but it's too polite."

Then, he said calmly, "But I have a lot of employees, and there may be more in the future."

"We can provide."

Master Qingjing replied seriously, "In the final analysis, this is just an ancient object, and it only has the effect of exorcising evil because it has been blessed."

"Besides, there are too many treasures covered in dust."

"Instead of hiding it and gathering dust, it is better to hand it over to those who need it. Director Lu and your staff are all members of the Tang State. We naturally want to ensure your safety as much as possible."

"Then thank you, Master."

Lu Zhengyi said cheerfully, "Do you practice the Dharma? I don't think so."

As he was about to say something, a knock on the door sounded from outside the house.

Master Qingjing smiled politely at Lu Zhengyi and shouted loudly outside the door: "Come in."

"Guardian."

A cautious figure walked into the house from outside, holding a wooden palm tray with brewed tea and some pastries on it.

"Yu Liang?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at the figure entering the room in surprise, "You kid, did you really go up the mountain to learn from a master?"

"Hey, Director Lu, long time no see."

Yu Liang's eyes lit up, he walked over with a smile and put his palm on the table, "I just went up the mountain not long ago. I was recommended by Taoist Master Guanshan, but my parents did not agree with me becoming a Taoist priest."

"I spent a long time letting them know that being a Taoist priest here is a formal and legal thing and a serious profession."

"And I can continue the family lineage later, so I convinced my family to let me go up the mountain."

To put it this way, the foot of the mountain is like a prison.

Next to them, Master Qingjing silently watched them reminiscing about old times, not speaking to blend in, nor saying anything to tell the disciples studying in the temple to pay attention to the rules.

"There are not many people as persistent as you."

Lu Zhengyi smiled and nodded, "If my employees ask you for help in the future, you have to give me some face."

"Hey, I'm just getting started."

Although Yu Liang said this, he was obviously looking forward to it.

He is already an extremely fanatical person in this area, otherwise he would not have directly followed Lu Zhengyi and his crew to Yangxin Guan based on a little speculation on the Internet.

Yu Liang didn't stay long. As a new disciple, he had to study and work a lot every day.

This time, it was probably because of Lu Zhengyi's relationship that he was able to come over as an 'acquaintance' to deliver tea.

"Director Lu, you just praised him for his persistence."

After Yu Liang left, Qingjing Zhenren, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Do you think he has a chance to take this path?"

"Some things can't be achieved without persistence."

Lu Zhengyi responded tactfully, "As for whether this path is suitable for him or not, it depends on his luck. As a director, I certainly can't calculate it."
