Chapter 169 Abandoning Buddhism and Entering Taoism
Lin Shi was assigned to be a waiter by an eccentric old monk.
I heard the monks accidentally mention that this old monk was a monk on behalf of a certain nobleman, so his status in the temple was unusual, and others did not dare to offend him.
Now that this man is old and needs someone to serve him, all the disciples are avoiding him. Unexpectedly, Lin Shi and two people came rashly to relieve everyone.
On the surface, this old monk appears to be a kind person, but on the inside he is extremely critical.
He ordered Lin Shi to do some chores such as fetching water and cleaning. If he was not satisfied with anything at all, he would beat and scold him, which was very displeasing to him.
"Bear it a little longer!"
"I brought Fu Ma here. I can't leave him to suffer alone."
But what he didn't know was that Fu Ma's life was much better than his.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Shi held on for a while.
But when the old monk saw that he was so subdued, he became even more violent, making bad words and punching and kicking him to vent his bad emotions.
It wasn't until three months later that Lin Shi finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"You old monk, you are so insulting to my generation of scholars!"
"There is an old saying: An honest person will not eat the food that comes to you! It’s okay not to eat the food that comes with your sigh!"
He took off his monk's robe and went down the mountain at night.
The intention to leave is so firm that not even the demon living there can control it.
When the old monk got up early the next morning to greet him, there was no response for a long time.
"This lazy guy needs to be beaten again!"
With no one to serve him, the old monk had no choice but to get up on his own and angrily ran to the monk's hall.
"Where's Su Shi? Where did Su Shi go?"
He yelled so loudly that he startled everyone who was resting in the monk hall.
"Sir, please calm down. We haven't seen Junior Brother Su Shi since last night. I thought I was serving you, so I didn't ask too much about him!"
The monks and disciples explained one after another.
"He is serving a ghost! It must be this kid who betrayed the mountain gate and ran away from the mountain!"
"I haven't even returned to secular life as a monk, how dare he go down the mountain privately!"
"Catch him, go and bring him back to me!"
The old monk was furious and ordered the monks to quickly launch an arrest operation.
Because he had been exposed to the rain, the old monk also wanted to see others get exposed to the rain for a while longer.
This move naturally alarmed the elders of Qingyun Temple.
"It's difficult! There was no ultimatum when he was tonsured. He is not an official disciple of our temple!"
The elder was caught in a dilemma for a moment.
"Reporting to the elder, although he is not a disciple of our temple, he has been protected by my Buddhist sect for three months. We cannot let him ruin our reputation easily!"
The monk Zhike rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea.
"Why don't we distribute the Dharma post to nearby Zen monasteries, firstly to prevent him from placing orders again, and secondly, maybe a certain Zen monastery can help us send him back."
"That's fine! Now that you have entered my Buddhist sect, you should devote yourself to worshiping the Buddha. How can you give up halfway because you are afraid of suffering?"
The elder nodded and acquiesced to this move.
Lin Shi ran away, but Fu Ma's ultimatum was quickly completed.
Now, Fuma, who had never wanted to become a monk, was completely convinced of his status as a monk.
"Lin Shi, you bastard, you didn't take me with you when you ran away!"
"I curse you to have no friends in your life. Not only will you have no friends, you will also end up alone!"
Fu Ma clenched the certificate in his hand, with a smile on his face, but he kept cursing and cursing in his heart.
…
However, it was said that after Lin Shi came down from the mountain, his desire to enter Buddhism suddenly faded away, so he did not go to any temple to stay.
"Qingyun Temple eats the offerings of the common people, but beats and scolds me, a living being. It is really not a son of man!"
I mumbled and cursed secretly in my mind for a while, then a thought suddenly came to my mind.
"Why don't you go to Daomen and try again?"
This idea did not come out of nowhere. On the one hand, it was his own will, and on the other hand, it was also the guidance of Dao Xian.
"Before, Master Tiankuixing kept talking about the plan of humanity. I wonder what role the door plays in it?"
"Now let's do it again, I'll go and test it out!"
"Which Taoist gate should I go to?" Yu Daoxian kept thinking.
The world is so vast that Longhu Mountain should be the leader of the Taoist sect.
But now that he does not have the protection of the Demon Star identity, he is also afraid that the contemporary heavenly master will see some clues.
"It just so happens that I know a thing or two about the art of summoning spirits and driving away corpses. Why not go to Kuaiji Mountain again!"
He wrapped his bald head with a scarf to hide his identity, and then grew his long hair in preparation for going deep into the Taoist gate.
…
Kuaiji Mountain is the place where Yu the Great made his fortune, and is also known as Maoshan Mountain.
Daomen Maoshan lineage has a mountain gate here.
The Maoshan Taoist skills that Yu Daoxian possesses were all obtained from the evil Taoist who chased corpses back then. They were mixed with the secret skills of the demon sect and are just superficial.
But you can get through it if you mess around.
"Taoist Master, this disciple has come to join us sincerely, and I hope that the Taoist Master will take you in!"
Under the protection of the demon, Lin Shi traveled through hardships and successfully arrived at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain.
After being guided by a Taoist boy, he finally met Taoist Master He from Tianning Temple.
"I don't care about your destiny!"
Daochang He glanced at him and refused lightly.
"Why does this smart guy smell like a monk?"
Yu Daoxian secretly scorned.
"Taoist Master, my disciple, I have been fortunate enough to experience the secret techniques of summoning spirits and exorcising corpses, and I have learned a little bit about them. How can this not be a predestined relationship with the Tao?"
Lin Shi followed the demon's thoughts and answered.
"Calling souls and driving away corpses, little Ji'er! That's not my way!"
"Now that you are here, the old Taoist will show you a way!"
After listening to his words, Daochang He immediately changed his tone.
After all, if the secret techniques of summoning spirits and exorcising corpses were learned by an outsider, there would be a risk of leakage at any time, and he did not want to see this happen.
"I hope the Taoist priest can give me some advice!"
Lin Shi wanted to see what else the other party could say.
Daochang He shook Fuchen and put it on his arm, then stretched out his hand and counted it with his fingers.
"Go to Shuzhong, your opportunity is there!"
Shuzhong is known as the land of abundance, and it has the most talented people.
"Does this old Taoist priest really have any say in his words?"
"If he recommends me to go to Longhu Mountain, it would be more reliable. What kind of ghost is in Shu?"
Longhu Mountain is from the Taiqing lineage, and Maoshan is from the Shangqing lineage. They are both under the Sanqing sect, and their Qi veins are connected. Not understanding the Taoist sect's plan, Yu Daoxian, the demon, was also confused.
However, it is expected that this old Taoist priest will not speak randomly.
"Sichuan? I'll wait for the disciple to go and try his luck. If he can't find a good place to go, he will come back!"
Lin Shi bowed and bowed, then turned to say goodbye and went down the mountain.
Strange to say!
As he got closer and closer to Shuzhong, Yu Daoxian became more aware of the awakening of a certain power within his body.
This power was just an insignificant point of light at first, and then gradually grew and condensed into a mass.
"Magic Star! What is the power of the Magic Star?"
When the power took shape, Yu Daoxian recognized it at a glance. He couldn't help but wonder, "Lin Shi, is it the one hundred and nineth extra magic star? Is it possible that this time, it will take three hundred and sixty?"
Five magic stars?”
Before he could investigate further, Fu Ma's scolding could be faintly heard in his ears.
"Lin Shi... I curse you to have no friends in your life. Not only will you have no friends, you will also end up alone!"
