At what age are you still being a traditional monster?

"Wait until it attains the Dao again, I'm afraid you don't know how many times you have been reincarnated."

"It's not good to take revenge on my descendants."

The Taoist said: "Don't be afraid, I'll teach you a way. Not only will it not retaliate against your descendants, but it will protect your descendants instead."

The groom was overjoyed when he heard that, "Master Taoist, please get in the car and tell me in detail!"

The Taoist got into the car, and suddenly, he was born with a sudden change.

With a bang, a huge palm descended.

The groom's face was ashen, and tremblingly said: "This is, is this God's anger?"

Lin Xu frowned, secretly pleased.

You monkey! Finally got heavy!When I have time, I must go to the foot of the Five Elements Mountain and take a stone and throw you quietly!

Lin Xu said: "Don't be afraid, I'll tell you my method..."

Chapter 42 Black Lotus

Lin Xu hitchhiked the groom all the way to the border of Roulai.

It has been more than a year since he set off from Heifeng Mountain, and Lin Xu traveled on the clouds from time to time, and it took him only half of the original two-year journey to get there.

"Daoist, the front is the pass of the country of Roulai."

Lin Xu rolled his eyes, and there was a long convoy lined up at the gate, all of which were transporting wood. What is the purpose of this, so much wood is needed?

"Daoist, I heard that there are officials who specialize in collecting wood outside the checkpoint, so I won't enter the checkpoint. You can do it yourself."

Lin Xu nodded, got out of the car, and watched the groom find a man in an official uniform. Then, two or three strong men moved the wood down. The official took a look and took out three ingots of silver and put them in the groom's hand. The groom nodded sharply. I don't know what to say.

The groom came back after getting the silver, and said: "Tsk tsk, a piece of wood sold for 30 taels of silver, this trip is not in vain!"

Lin Xu asked: "Do you know what Rou came to buy so much wood for?"

The groom collected the money and said: "I don't know, but I heard from those passing by that it seems that some kind of altar is going to be built?"

altar?

Lin Xu immediately thought of the master that Zeng Qi was talking about, the demon Taoist who used human life to make alchemy at the inn.

Could it be that the demon is still thinking about using some evil method to make alchemy?

Lin Xu was still thinking, the groom saw that Lin Xu was stunned, shook Lin Xu, and said:

"Master, shall I go first?"

Lin Xu nodded his goodbyes, and then walked towards the checkpoint.

After waiting in line for half an hour, it was Lin Xu's turn.

"Name." The guard guard asked.

"Poverty Ling Xuzi."

The guarding soldier kept his head down, raised his head when he heard Lin Xu's words, and found that Lin Xu was a Taoist priest, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that the Taoist priest is present, please forgive me, Taoist priest, please hurry up."

The tone of the soldiers guarding the gate was very respectful, which made Lin Xu quite puzzled, and asked, "You let me in if you didn't check the certificate of duty?"

"Where do we need these things? The monarch of our country is a person who values ​​the way, and the national teacher of our country is also a person who cultivates the way. He is in the same class as the Taoist priest. Please come in quickly, the Taoist priest."

Hearing this, Lin Xu stepped in, and not long after he walked out, he saw a group of common people worshiping a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was dressed so richly and luxuriously, he was dressed in black silk silk embroidered with gold thread, he held a golden-handled Buddha dust in his hand, and on his head was a five-old crown inlaid with jade, and even the ten-square shoes under his feet were recognizable at a glance Made of fine cloth.

Lin Xu looked at himself, he was wearing a coarse old Taoist robe, holding a fishing drum in his hand, and wearing only a pair of straw sandals on his feet, the difference between the two was worlds apart.

"Is it so popular to be a Taoist priest in this Roulai country?"

But Lin Xu remembered that Huijing's Avalokitesvara Temple seemed to be the most popular place in Roulai before.

After receiving the worship from the people, the Taoist saw Lin Xu at a glance, so he stepped forward and asked:

"Where did fellow Taoist come from?"

Lin Xu made an immeasurable Heavenly Venerable gesture, and said: "Poverty Ling Xuzi, come from the west."

"It turns out to be Ling Xuzi's fellow Taoist, a gentleman of the Xiaodao Society."

"It's a gentleman from the society, a friend of Daoism. When the poor Taoist just came, he found out that this Roulai country seems to be very respectful to us Taoist priests from the soldiers to the common people. I don't know what to teach?"

The gentleman smiled triumphantly and said: "You don't know something, fellow Taoists. Five years ago, a great epidemic broke out in Roulai, and it was my master Heilian Zhenxian who cured the plague. Otherwise, I don't know how many innocent people will die. This Roulai In order to be grateful, the lord of the country honored my master as a national teacher, and my Black Lotus Sect was able to preach here again. In the past five years, many people have believed in my Black Lotus Sect."

Lin Xu suddenly realized, and said: "That's poor Taoism, I'm in your favor."

The gentleman said: "Fellow Daoists, Taoism is one family in the world. Come on, although my Black Lotus Sect is in the capital, there are also sub-concepts at the border. Xiaodao is the master of this sub-concept. Come, fellow Taoist." Let me drink some tea and rest my feet."

Lin Xu sneered in his heart, I'm afraid this Taoist temple of yours is not a den of thieves, after all, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be polite, and said: "Then thank you fellow daoist for your hospitality, let's go."

After all, Lin Xu was about to move his feet, but saw that the gentleman was still standing still.

"Fellow Daoist, is this?"

The gentleman smiled calmly, and when a carriage passed by, the gentleman stretched out his hand to stop it, and a rich and handsome man got off the carriage.

"It turned out that the Taoist leader of the Black Lotus Sect was in person. I don't know when the villain will be able to help you?"

The gentleman said: "Excuse me, please take this carriage to take me and my fellow Taoist back to the monastery."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The man actually got out of the way, invited Lin Xu and She Junzi into the carriage, and then told the driver: "You send the two Taoist priests back to pick me up, remember, don't bump the two Taoist priests! "

When he got in the car, Lin Xu couldn't help but ask, "This is it, fellow Taoist?"

The gentleman didn't answer, but asked the groom: "Groomkeeper, do you have anything in this cart to entertain my fellow Taoist?"

The groom said: "I'm really sorry, my master was in a hurry to visit the old man, so there is nothing to entertain in the car."

The gentleman said: "Stop."

The groom stopped the car, and the gentleman of the society opened the curtain, and saw that the car had reached the ridge of a field where several melon farmers were picking melons.

The gentleman opened his mouth and said, "Those few!"

The melon farmers stopped one after another and said: "The Taoist priest is in person, and the little old man has seen it."

The gentleman said: "Pick a few melons, and ask for sweet ones!"

After a while, several freshly picked melons and fruits arrived in Lin Xu's hands.

Lin Xu said: "These people are very religious."

The nobleman shook his hand and said: "What is this? When the monarch makes my Black Lotus Sect the state religion, all the officials, down to Li Su, will respect my Black Lotus Sect."

Lin Xu chuckled, and put the melon and fruit in his hand into his mouth.

The carriage went up the mountain all the way, and when it arrived at the Taoist temple, Lin Xu got out of the carriage and took a look, doubting his own eyes.

What kind of Taoist temple is in front of him, not to mention a grand palace, if it weren't for the three big characters "Black Lotus Temple" written on the golden plaque of the Zhumen, Lin Xu really thought that he had entered the courtyard of some high-ranking official.

After entering the Taoist temple, there are all servants and maidservants inside. The only place that looks like a Taoist temple is that there is an incense burner in the main courtyard in the middle, and a golden body is enshrined.

Lin Xu went up to look at the golden body, and found that it was neither Sanqing nor any other Taoist god that Lin Xu knew, but a Taoist with lotus flowers embroidered on his body.

Seeing Lin Xu's puzzled face, She Junzi smiled and said, "This is my master."

Lin Xu said: "It turns out that the respected teacher has already gone west on the crane, and the poor Taoist also became a two-pillar incense stick to express his heart."

The smile on She Junzi's face froze, and he said in a slightly unfriendly tone: "Fellow Daoist, you are talking nonsense, my master is doing well in the capital."

Lin Xu pretended to be surprised, and said, "Then why do you want to make a golden body to enshrine?"

The gentleman said: "My master is a true immortal in the world, not to mention building a golden body, even thousands of golden bodies are not exaggerated."

Lin Xu quickly apologized, "It's the poor man who made a slip of the tongue."

The gentleman didn't pursue it, but instead said: "Fellow Taoist, you haven't eaten yet."

Lin Xu rubbed his stomach, and said: "It's never happened."

The gentleman clapped his hands, and the servants in Guannei began to serve the dishes.

This dish is so rich and rich, steamed bear paw, stir-fried deer liver, abalone soup, three delicacies pot...

Except that Lin Xu didn't eat the bear's paw, Lin Xu tasted every other dish twice, and exclaimed: "Fellow Daoist's food is really good! It's just for the poor Taoist to catch up."

She Junzi said: "It's not about catching up."

Lin Xu showed a puzzled expression.

The gentleman explained: "I don't have a fixed time for eating, so I let them cook every half an hour, and the poor can eat whenever they want."

Lin Xu smiled, and said: "Fellow Daoist, you are joking. Only rich people can afford this kind of delicacies outside. You, Fellow Daoist, let them make a meal every half an hour?"

The gentleman said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, if there is any shortage of ingredients, just ask the officials or the people down the mountain to send them up."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a piece of abalone and put it in Lin Xu's bowl.

Lin Xu smiled, and ate all the dishes on the table except for the bear's paw.

Chapter 43 Hypocrisy and Hypocrisy

"Thank you fellow daoist for your hospitality."

After eating a table full of delicacies, Lin Xu stood up but wanted to say goodbye.

She Junzi said: "From the appearance of my Taoist friend, I think I must go to Yunyou. Why rush, and put an order with me, rest for a few days before leaving."

Lin Xu made a look of embarrassment, and said: "Fellow Daoist, I accept your wish, but how can you be so embarrassing?"

"You and I are family!"

After several tugging and tugging, Lin Xu finally settled down in this temple.

The nobleman arranged a separate courtyard for Lin Xu, but it is already comparable to the main courtyard of the county guard Jin Shunping's family when Lin Xu was in Pingshun Mansion.

When the night was getting late, Lin Xu was meditating on the futon, when he suddenly heard knocks on the door, he got up and opened the door to see, it was a servant from the temple leading a handsome maid at the door.

"You are this?"

The servant cupped his hands and said: "Master Dao, this is the cauldron sent by my temple master." After finishing speaking, he led the servant girl into Lin Xu's room, said something in the servant girl's ear, and left with a smile.

Lin Xu just watched silently, without making a sound to stop or refuse.

The furnace cauldron and the theory of collecting herbs are the basic theories of Taoism, and even Lin Xu's Dadan Zhizhi also has the way to regulate yin and yang, and harvest yin to supplement yang.

It's just that it's not like this, actually wanting to pick it from her.

Lin Xu sat for a while, and asked, "Do you know what you want to do?"

The maid blushed and nodded.

"Have you done this before?"

"No, the older sisters who worked before were all seriously ill, and the temple master thought they couldn't do the work, so they all rushed down the mountain."

snort!If the gentleman of that society stole their vital yin, he would definitely suffer a serious illness, even death would not be an exaggeration.

Lin Xu suppressed his anger, and asked with a smile: "Are you scared? By the way, what's your name?"

The servant girl bowed and saluted, and said: "Returning to Dao Chang's story, my family's name is Yao'er, but seeing Dao Chang's appearance is upright, I'm not very afraid."

Lin Xu smiled and said, "Come on, sit down."

Yao'er leaned against Lin Xu and sat down on the bed.

Lin Xu said: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I know you have no other choice, so you can sleep in my bed for a good night, and if someone asks you the next day, you can say that I have already adopted it." After that, you can also do business in this way, and I don't count as a shame on others."

Yao'er only nodded slightly, and said: "Of course I listened to the Taoist priest's order."

Lin Xu blew out the candle and said, "Go to sleep, I'll just meditate."

In the dark, Yao'er's voice was not much louder than that of mosquitoes, just like rubbing against the ears.

"Master Dao, you are very kind."

Lin Xu smiled and said: "Go to sleep."

After a while, Yao'er's voice came from the bed again: "Master Daoist, are you thirsty?"
