Hearing the words, Datou suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He finally knew why he was so anxious. Xiao Liuzi had been taken away by Taoists from Taipingguan for several days. If the Taoist who took him away was a monster incarnation, Xiao Liuzi might have already

was eaten.

"Sir, what kind of monsters are hiding here? How many are there? Is the path profound?" Datou asked eagerly.

"I am a Taoist priest, not a god," he said casually, "I can only detect a strange aura in the Taoist temple. As for what it is, and how many there are, I still don't know yet."

Datou originally wanted to ask if he was sure of conquering the demon, but after hearing this, he didn't ask further, because he didn't know the other party's situation, so he couldn't say whether he was sure of surrendering.

As he flew by, he quickly sorted out the spells recorded in Luotian's Secret Technique in his mind. Due to his busy work schedule and trivial matters, although he had memorized all the spell runes and mantras of Luotian's Secret Technique, he had never practiced it in actual combat.

Recalling things from time to time is nothing short of cramming.

The two stepped on the treetops and moved forward quickly. After a while, they arrived at the square in front of the Taoist temple. Taiping Temple is a small Taoist temple, smaller than the Tianxian Temple they had visited before. In fact, it is a small courtyard with three main rooms.

, there are three east and west wing rooms.

As soon as the two of them calmed down and landed, the wooden door of the Taoist temple was opened. Seeing this, the two of them suddenly became alert. They thought that the monster had noticed the arrival of the two of them, and after looking at each other, they became alert at the same time.

Just when the two of them were ready to take action, they discovered that what ran out of the door was not a monster, but a little Taoist boy. He was only seven or eight years old, had a fat head and big ears, and was wearing an obvious suit.

The Taoist robe was too big, and he carried a lot of things in his arms.

Because he was running too fast, the little Taoist boy tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground. The things he was carrying jingled and scattered all over the floor. Looking closely, he saw among them a small bronze incense burner and a string of pearls.

Liuzhu, there is a hat made of green jade, in addition to a crown hairpin for hair and some silver and copper coins.

While looking at the many things scattered on the ground, he also carefully noticed that the little Taoist boy had six fingers on both hands. This discovery made him relieved. The little Taoist boy who fell out of the mountain door in front of him was exactly the person the two of them were looking for.

"Sir, look quickly, six fingers." Datou raised his hand excitedly.

Hao Jinbao's nickname was Liuzi. The pronunciation of Liuzhi and Liuzi were quite similar. Little Liuzi just thought Big Tou was calling him. After getting up, he raised his sleeves and wiped his nose, then looked at the two of them with a puzzled look, "Who are you looking for?"

?”

"We are looking for you." He said with a smile.

"I don't recognize you." Liuzi began to hurriedly pick up things scattered on the ground.

At this moment, someone else ran out of the Taoist temple.

He was in his sixties, with a short stature, wearing a gray preacher's robe, with his hair disheveled, and his shoes had not been put on.

After the old man came out, he took Liu Zi and looked him up and down, "Jin Bao'er, does it hurt from the fall?"

When the old Taoist priest was talking to Liu Zi, he raised his head and raised his right hand quietly to make a bastard gesture.

He nodded. In fact, the reason why Datou could tell that this person was a turtle-like transformation was not because he was wearing a blood spirit bead, but because he looked like a bastard, and he looked very similar.

Seeing that the six sons were not injured, the old Taoist priest picked up the crown hairpin on the ground, tied his hair in a bun, and said, "This cannot be given to others, Master wants to use it."

The old Taoist priest spoke slowly and had a gentle tone. Although he was quite ugly, his face was very kind and he did not look like a bad person.

The old Taoist priest had already seen He Datou standing outside the door. He waited until he had put on his bun and put on his shoes before speaking to the two of them, "Infinite Heavenly Lord, you two good people are polite."

Seeing that the old Taoist priest took the initiative to salute, the two of them hurriedly raised their hands to return the salute. They were not wearing Taoist robes, so they responded with the layman's hand-over-hand salute.

"There are very few pilgrims in Taiping Temple on weekdays. Why do these two good people come here this time?" the old Taoist asked harmoniously.

At this time, he was looking at the couplets on the left and right sides of the mountain gate, but he didn't reply. When he didn't say anything, he changed the subject by saying, "How old is the Taoist priest this year?"

"Buddha doesn't ask about surnames, Tao doesn't ask about longevity, good people will always bear with you." The old Taoist priest was very humble.

I felt that the couplet on the door was interesting, so I read it out casually, "Master came out of the Supreme Purity to open the seven orifices, he was independent of the world and cultivated the three gods, he criticized others and was kind to others, Taoist Master, this couplet is quite meaningful."

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I am terrified, terrified, ashamed and ashamed." The old Taoist priest hurriedly bowed his head in humility.

"Taoist Priest, to be honest, I am also a member of the Shangqing sect, but I have never worn a Taoist robe." He said with a smile. Although this old Taoist priest is an alien, he is very candid and explained his origins directly from the couplet.

Among thousands of beings, only humans are born with seven orifices. Therefore, the so-called opening of the seven orifices by the old Taoist priests implies that he is not a human being, and being a disciple of Shangqing means that he is a disciple of Shangqing. Among the three sects of the Three Purities, only Shangqing sect has the possibility of absorbing aliens as disciples.

, both Yuqing Sect and Taiqing Sect will not have any unusual Taoists. In addition, the old Taoist priests also expressed their attitude towards others in the couplets, not fighting against the world and being kind to others.

It is precisely because the old Taoist priest is bright and magnanimous that he has revealed his identity.

Ma Fengying, racking your brains to please and cling to others, all of these are at the expense of others, and only ordinary people can do this. If you want to gain the recognition and appreciation of noble people, the most direct and effective way is to be honest and tell the truth.

Seeing that he was also a Taoist from the Shangqing Dynasty, the old Taoist priest immediately beamed with joy and said, "It turns out that we are fellow Taoists from the same sect. If I don't mind that my fellow Taoists are poor and vulgar, please move inside the temple and wander around for a while."

Naturally, I would not refuse, but you should not come empty-handed when visiting. This is the rule. The two of them left in a hurry and did not bring any gifts with them, so they ordered Datou to go down the mountain and bring back some tea leaves from the horse's saddlebags.

Even though Lao Tao tried his best to stop him, Da Tou still went down the mountain. Lao Tao packed up the things scattered on the ground and took Xiao Liuzi with him into the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple has two wings, the east and west. In the west wing lives an old woman. According to the Taoist introduction, this old woman was born deaf and mute, and was taken in by the Taoist to do some laundry and cooking.

The old woman was mending clothes. It wasn't until the old man came closer that the old woman saw him. She hurriedly put down the sewing basket in her hand and pulled Xiao Liuzi to wipe his nose.

As both Shangqing Taoists, the first thing they do when entering the mountain gate is to go to the main hall to offer incense. Unlike most Taoist temples that worship the Three Pure Ones, Taiping Temple only worships the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, the founder of Shangqing.

There is also a spiritual tablet in front of the statue of Lingbao Tianzun, and the words on the spiritual tablet are "The spiritual tablet of the restored master."

He offered a stick of incense to Lingbao Tianzun, and then offered a stick of incense to Fuyuan Zhenren. This move made the old Taoist moved and frightened, and he hurriedly bowed his head to express his thanks.

When he came out of the main hall, he asked casually, "Dare you ask me about the name of the chief?"

"The master gave me the title Taiping," the old Taoist replied harmoniously.

He nodded. He is a Shangqing Taoist, so he is naturally familiar with the Shangqing generation. After the Fu-zi generation, he should be the Taizi generation, and the Taizi generation is more than twenty generations higher than his three-character generation. From this, we can conclude

Taiping Taoists had worshiped the Shangqing more than five hundred years ago.

Taiping Taoist lived in the east chamber. The two rooms on the north side of the east chamber are connected. It is both Taiping Taoist's residence and a place for practicing his Qi. Since he is a Taoist, there are not many furnishings in it. However, I have been to Taiping Inn many times.

I have seen a lot of good things, and I am somewhat knowledgeable. At a casual glance, I found that the furnishings in Taiping Taoist's room are all rare and antiques, which are of great value.

The old woman then brought tea, sat down and talked with Taoist Taiping, and introduced herself to her family. She only said that she was a Taoist of the third generation of Longhu Mountain, and that she was now a Dadong cultivator. She did not mention the rank of the urn.

When it comes to cultivation, it is to avoid being underestimated by Taiping Taoists.

Pin is unwilling to be arrogant.

He did not get directly to the topic, but chatted with Taoist Taoist Taiping. Although Shangqing Sect can accept disciples of different kinds, this has become rare in recent years. As a Taoist of different kinds who worshiped Shangqing hundreds of years ago,

Taiping Taoists have witnessed hundreds of years of changes with their own eyes. They have seen a lot and are knowledgeable.

While the two were talking, Da Tou came back with tea and gifts. After putting down the gifts, Da Tou did not accept the invitation to stay in the east chamber to drink tea, but went out to talk to Liu Zi.

We are all Taoists, but we have different understandings of the teachings. Taiping Taoists advocate the natural way, be quiet and do nothing. Simply put, they are to comply with the will of God, follow the trend, be pure in heart and have few desires, and be independent in their own conduct.

Although he is in the court, his job is to assist the monarch, help the world and save the people, but he does not think there is anything wrong with Taiping Taoist's ideas, because everyone's situation is different, Taiping Taoist is an alien, and as an alien, naturally he will not go too far.

Paying attention to the affairs of the human world, the purpose of heterogeneous practice is often to achieve enlightenment, ascend, and live forever.

Taiping Taoist's body is a giant turtle. It is not wrong to say that he is a turtle, because turtles are originally a kind of turtle. Although they have lived for thousands of years, their spiritual energy cultivation is only a deep blue hole. There are two reasons why it is so slow.

, firstly, the aliens are not fully equipped with all seven orifices, and the speed of Qi training is naturally greatly affected. Secondly, aliens have to undergo heavenly tribulations every once in a while, and even if they join the Taoist sect, they cannot escape the heavenly tribulations. As we all know, bastards are more resistant to beatings, and other aliens can survive the tribulations.

If you fail, you will be wiped out. Taiping Taoist can save his life even if he fails to overcome the tribulation, but he cannot keep his spiritual energy cultivation. He finally reaches the deep blue hole, and if he fails to attack the purple energy, he will return instantly, and then he has to practice from the beginning.

Although he expressed sympathy, he was not eager to help because he still wanted to further observe the character of Taiping Dao.

Facts have proved that Taiping Taoists are indeed good to others and do not hesitate to share their secrets of longevity. In his view, life is about stillness and not movement. The more peaceful and quiet you are, the longer you live.

I don't agree with this statement, because humans are different from tortoises. If a tortoise runs around, his life will be short, but if a person lies motionless and his qi and blood are blocked, he will not live long.

However, he agreed with the Taiping Taoist's second statement. In the Taiping Taoist's view, both life and death have vitality. The fewer descendants of living creatures in the world, the longer their lifespans. Vice versa, the more descendants, the shorter their lifespans.

Precisely because of this discovery, Taiping Taoists have been abstaining from desires for so many years and guarding Yang and strengthening their roots.
