There was so much smoke and smoke in the cave, but Ye An could rush in without hesitation, which shows that he has a benevolent heart, and as long as he has a benevolent heart, everything will be easy to handle.
Looking at Ye An who was constantly wiping the strange clothes and almost roaring, Xuan Chengzi smiled with yellow teeth and coughed: "You saw through it... Ahem, why bother to say it? The clothes you are wearing are not from this world, don't
Whatever!"
Ye An knew that he would be constantly tested by the old Taoist, so he hid almost nothing from the old Taoist. Most of what he said was the truth, but a person would eventually get tired of being tested one after another. No matter what the reason, Ye An could not let Ye An know that he would be constantly tested by the old Taoist.
Feel at ease and comfortable.
No one can bear to be tirelessly probed for details, but who can't explain the issue of his origin? In fact, Ye An's words not only did not scare the old Taoist, but made the curiosity in the old Taoist heart grow like a weed.
Ye An threw down the water ladle in his hand bitterly, and turned around with a face full of teasing: "Master, where did this water ladle come from?"
"Ah! Taoist Master has been so blackened by my smoke. Please follow me as a master to cleanse the face of Taoist Master!" The old Taoist looked anxiously at the blackened old man, but his eyes darting around were just too thief-like.
Ye An blocked the direction of the cave entrance and walked towards the old man step by step: "Master, my disciples will do such small things, why bother you?! I can only hide from the first day of the junior high school, but not the fifteenth..."
"Jingwu that stinky boy!!"
"Is it time for Master to return to the Taoist Temple?"
"Ah! I forgot that we still have a Taoist temple to go back to. As soon as you reminded me, I suddenly remembered..."
Ye An rolled his eyes. He could maintain such shameless integrity even when being exposed in person. Even the Junji Peak of Songshan Mountain could not match his shamelessness.
The water scoop did not belong to Ye An, but floated down from the upper reaches of Huanhua Creek. Since there were people upstream, the curious Ye An looked for it. After walking not too far, but after passing through many thorny paths, he saw a large-scale building.
Taoist temple.
On the way back, Ye An remembered that this cave was not Laojun Cave at all. He had made a preconceived mistake and regarded this cave as Laojun Cave.
At this time, he vaguely remembered that there was a Taoist temple in Laojun Cave as early as the Tang Dynasty, and a large courtyard was also built.
"Disciple, since you want to enter my Song Dynasty, you have to cut off the old karma, so you can leave these old things in this cave!"
"My disciple knows that I should pick up some convenient little things and bring them with me in case of emergencies."
Xuan Chengzi nodded: "That's fine. You can take the important things with you and it will be fine in the mountains. But after you join the world, it's hard to say. Although Yangcheng County is a central county, you can't take it lightly. Look at your age.
, I am afraid I have never been exposed to the evil in the world..."
At this time, the old Taoist had changed into the appearance of a serious elder. Ye An folded his hands and bowed deeply, thanking him for this affectionate reminder.
Since Ye An arrived in the Song Dynasty, he has regarded himself as a Song Dynasty person. From the beginning, he did not intend to bring too many things to this era.
It's just that Xuanchengzi was wrong about one thing...
Ye An had seen too much evil in his previous life, and even those horrific scenes would constantly reappear in his dreams. Such memories were a kind of torture, even torture, for him!
How terrifying can the evil of this era be in comparison?
Ye An quickly changed his clothes. Who wants to suffer in this cave?
Moreover, Xuan Chengzi's words are very interesting. Keeping his life experience secret is what Ye An wants most.
After looking at the backpack that he had packed a long time ago, Ye An poured out the contents, asked for a bag from the old man, and put the important things in it.
Xuan Chengzi was very satisfied when he saw it. Most of these things in Ye An cannot be seen in front of the world.
It's nothing that brocade and silk are touching people's hearts. What's terrible is that these things are not only valuable, but should not appear in this world. The arrival of this young man, Ye An, is full of strangeness.
After looking at Ye An's things, Xuan Chengzi really believed that Ye An came from a different place and a different family, and these things were the best proof and the worst curse!
In fact, the easiest way is to let these things disappear forever, but the stakes are so important that Xuan Chengzi dare not destroy them easily. He can only keep these things to prevent himself from making irreparable mistakes.
It was already getting late, so it was obvious that we couldn’t go to Laojun Temple tonight. The name was very appropriate and easy to remember. Ye An asked Lao Dao about a lot of things about Laojun Temple.
After all, he was new here, and he didn't even fully understand Confucian etiquette, let alone Taoist etiquette.
Ye An has given up on letting the old Taoist tell the rules, because no matter what he asks, the old Taoist puts all the questions to his eldest apprentice, his senior brother, Jingzhen.
I can't believe Xuan Chengzi's words. He has two direct disciples, one named Jingzhen and the other named Jingwu. If you include Ye An, there are four masters and disciples. They can just go to the West...
Although they are both direct disciples, their identities are different. Ye An is a closed disciple. In the old way, he should be a true disciple. His status should be on the same level as senior brother Jingzhen.
The other Taoist priests in Laojun Temple are all disciples of Xuanchengzi's peers, and some are even disciples of disciples, so Ye An's seniority is not low.
In terms of seniority in Taoism, regardless of age, it is normal for a junior master, uncle, teacher and nephew to be involved.
The status of Laojun Temple in Taoism of this era was extraordinary. As long as the property belonged to the Taoist temple, it could not pay any taxes, and it could even enjoy court subsidies during Taoist festivals.
As for why he could preside over a Taoist temple like Laojun Temple, Ye An knew it without guessing. It was all because of Miao Xun's mentorship relationship.
Xuanchengzi's hand when lighting the candle was quite trembling, his face was full of heartache, and he kept mumbling: "This yellow wax is a reward from the government, Taoist masters don't usually use it, ordinary white wax is used in
There’s also a hundred and fifty coins in the incense and candle shop!”
Ye An knew that candles were expensive in this era, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive. One hundred coins was almost what an adult spent in a day in the Song Dynasty, which also included weddings, funerals and other entertainment...
…
If you just eat, twenty coins a day is enough, and you can eat quite a lot. Of course, if you want to eat some good food in a restaurant, you can't tell.
As a foodie, Ye An has long been salivating over the delicacies of the Song Dynasty. If there is a chance, he will definitely let Xuan Chengzi take him to those famous restaurants for a feast.
After he said this, he was laughed at by Xuanchengzi who had just lit the candle: "It's just some food. Look at how worried you are. You are always scratching your mouth. It's inappropriate!"
