You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 153 is also rewarding
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng walked out of the city gate with their two little ones. Outside the city gate, they saw brothers Qi Yuan and Xia Yu who were also walking on foot.

They walked all the way to the foot of the mountain. Master Qiyuan said to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng: "We will live in the mountain for some days."

Master Decheng smiled and said, "We will go to the city this afternoon. We will meet again after you return to the city."

The two parties separated. Master Qiyuan and Master Qicheng walked up the mountain, with Xia Yu following behind them.

"Brother, should we go to the Taoist temple to sit there that day?"

"Next year, I want to stay in the Buddhist temple for a few more days this year."

Master Qicheng looked at Xia Yu who was walking behind, and said with some disapproval: "Brother, Yu'er is still young, and it is easy for her to change her mind when she lives in a Buddhist temple."

"We live back in the city, and he often goes to play with Sister Lan for a long time. What if the two of us fall in love for a long time?"

Master Qicheng hesitated for a moment after hearing Master Qiyuan's words. As long as Xia Yu was not blind, he would definitely notice Shi Zelan's brightness.

Master Qiyuan sighed: "Let's live in the mountains for a few days, and let Yu'er rest and meditate."

Brother Qiyuan took Xia Yu to a Buddhist temple to stay for a while. Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng were a little surprised. Xia Yu didn't seem to be an impetuous child at first glance. Does he need to live in a Buddhist temple to meditate?

After Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng exchanged glances, they decided not to talk too much.

At the foot of the mountain, after walking deeper into the mountain for a while, you can see a courtyard with blue bricks and black tiles.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan followed the elders and walked in. When they saw the courtyard in front of them, their eyes lit up. It was a very elegant and compact courtyard.

In spring, the peach blossoms bloom at the foot of the mountain. What a beautiful scene it is.

Master Decheng knocked lightly on the courtyard door, and the sound of footsteps came from the door. A little Taoist boy opened the courtyard door. When he saw Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng, he was very happy and said: "Well done to Master Cheng, and good to Master Shan."

"Okay, how are you, little Daoyuan?"

"Dogen is very good."

"Ha, ha, ha, I got up early and did some fortune-telling, saying that distinguished guests would be arriving, and sure enough you are here."

Before anyone could see him, a very forthright voice could already be heard inside.

Master Decheng said with a smile: "We brought our disciples here to visit the monastery master. We were originally worried that we would not have time to come out and meet with us."

"Ha, ha, ha." A middle-aged man walked out of the inner courtyard. His eyes looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan saluted him with great respect, and he smiled and returned the salute gracefully: "It turns out there are two more friends here. Welcome, welcome."

The master of the Taoist temple welcomed Master Decheng and his entourage into the temple to talk. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan stood behind the elders, listening to their meditation and Taoism.

In the afternoon, Master Decheng and his party returned to the capital. The temple owner and the boy Daoyuan sent them to the mountain road and watched Master Decheng and his party go away.

The boy Daoyuan said to the temple owner: "Master, they are not ordinary people."

"Oh, what makes you think they're not ordinary people?"

"During lunch, they only ate vegetarian food and did not eat any meat."

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng came to sit in the temple before, and the temple owner also invited them to have a meal together. Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng mentioned their eating habits to him. "Master, I think they are immortals. They look very beautiful when their clothes flutter when they walk."

The viewer chuckled twice: "You just like to think about more things. You like them because the four of them are dignified and good-looking."

Daoyuan looked at the viewer for a while and said: "Master, I still think they are all immortals, and ordinary people will not be so beautiful."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan also believe that the Taoist temple’s patrons give people a feeling of spring breeze. No wonder Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng like to come and sit in the temple.

Shi Zelan and Shanzheng Zhenren said: "Master, I won't accompany you next time. At my current age, I probably cannot reach the highest state of Zen meditation and enlightenment."

Master Shanzheng smiled after hearing her words: "Okay, I don't need you to accompany me next time."

After listening, Shi Xiaoliu quickly said to Master Decheng: "Master, I won't come next time."

Master Decheng smiled and said: "Okay, I just brought him to see the Taoist temple. Once you have seen it, it will be good."

Shi Xiaoliu exhaled and said to Shi Zelan with some embarrassment: "Sister Lan, I feel that my life has no depth now."

"Xiao Liu, you are better than me. You at least think about the issue of depth, but I always just want to live a good life."

After they returned home, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng quickly entered the room to meditate, while Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan stayed under the eaves in the front yard.

Shi Xiaoliu sent a message to Shi Zelan: "Every time my master and your master go to the Taoist temple, they seem to have some enlightenment when they come back."

Shi Zelan nodded in agreement, and then said with some confusion: "Xiao Liu, when we reach Master's age, we won't like to go to the Taoist temple to sit for a while, right?"

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "I think my master prefers to sit in the mountains."

Shi Xiaoliu was actually worried that Shi Zelan would like to go to the temple to sit in the future, because she occasionally said that the bells ringing when doing homework in the temple were very calming.

That night, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan sat under the eaves and talked a lot about the future.

Shi Zelan said to Shi Xiaoliu: "After I find a fire in the future, I will practice the "Li Huo Jue" skill carefully so that I can refine the spirit-replenishing elixir myself."

Shi Xiaoliu glanced at her and agreed: "Okay, but your spiritual energy is different from ours. Will the spiritual replenishing elixir be of great use to you?"

Shi Zelan took a deep breath: "After the curse on me is broken, I will definitely be able to make rapid progress in my cultivation."

Shi Xiaoliu didn't dare to irritate Shi Zelan for a while. He could only smile with her and said, "Then if I find a lot of fire, I will definitely give you one, okay?"

"Okay. Xiaoliu is the best."

At dawn, Master Decheng came out of the room and saw the two young ones, and immediately rushed them back to rest for a while.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan left quickly. After a while, Master Shanzheng came out of the room, saw Master Decheng under the eaves and smiled: "Brother, in a few days, we will visit the temple master again."

"I learned something from what the temple master said yesterday. It turns out that going out for a walk is good for improving our realm."

"Where are Xiaoliu and Sister Lan?"

"They sat under the roof all night yesterday. They may have gained some insights, but I don't know how much."

Master Decheng went into the kitchen and lit a fire. After the smoke drifted away for a while, Master Shanzheng went into the kitchen and said to Master Decheng: "Brother, if you don't want to boil water, don't waste firewood."
