Chapter 1 The Crazy Little Taoist Priest in the Mountains
In an unknown mountain in China, there is an unknown small Taoist temple. The Taoist temple has only three shabby tile-roofed houses, with guest houses and dining halls on both sides, and the main hall dedicated to the Three Pure Ones in the middle. Don't tell me, although the temple is
Small and well-equipped.
Right in front of the main hall is a bronze incense burner that has been passed down for unknown ages. It looks very simple. The ground is paved with huge bluestones about three feet tall.
The temple seemed very quiet and peaceful. Although there were no pilgrims, the incense in the incense burner never stopped.
In the Sanqing Hall, there was a young Taoist priest, with handsome features and slender body. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Hairpin, sitting in the center of the Sanqing Hall, looks impressive. He is muttering something unknown, as if he is reciting Taoism. When he gets closer, he hears...
"Sanqing bless, Taishang bless, if we don't open for three months, if we open for three years..." the little Taoist muttered like this repeatedly.
Forehead.
This is very embarrassing.
The little Taoist priest's real name is Liu Shang, a native of Liujia Village at the foot of the mountain. More than ten years ago, a huge flood swept through the provinces of southwest China and unfortunately came to Liujia Village, and Liu Shang's family also died in this flood.
Empty.
Perhaps it was God's will that the Liu family's child, who was only about three years old, survived and was put in a plastic bucket and hung on the treetops. The old Taoist priest who was meditating in the Taoist temple in the mountains suddenly suddenly
On a whim, he got up and went down the mountain. Seeing the mercy of God, little Liu Shang cried loudly. He was taken up the mountain by the old Taoist priest and was renamed Liu Shang, which means new life.
From then on, the Taoist temple in the mountain gained more vitality, and the old Taoist priest was quite famous far and wide. He often went down the mountain to help people repair their houses and tiles, see patients and collect medicines, and save lives and injuries with his medical skills, in exchange for the incense of the Taoist temple.
From then on, Liu Shang became the little tail of the old Taoist priest. He wore a small Taoist robe and swayed as he walked. He was pink and tender but not too cute. When the old Taoist priest chanted sutras, he sat and slept. When the old Taoist priest slept, he
He turned somersaults on the bed, climbed high for a while, squatted on his butt for a while, and sat on the old Taoist priest's face. The old Taoist priest almost died, but the old Taoist priest smiled and lifted him up, tossing him for most of the night, until
The old Taoist priest had a sore back and waist, so the little kid snored and fell asleep with drool still in his mouth.
Just like this, more than ten years ago, one night last year, the old Taoist priest was sitting on a futon meditating. Suddenly he opened his eyebrows and eyes with white hair and beard, and called softly: "Good disciple."
When Liu Shang heard this, he put down what he was doing, stood obediently in front of the old Taoist priest, and then slowly knelt down, feeling a little at a loss.
He said with a sad face: Master….
The old Taoist priest looked at this disciple kindly, his voice was peaceful and calm, and he said without sadness or joy: Disciple, I am destined to be a master, so you don’t have to be sad. I have taken care of everything behind you. If you don’t want to guard the Taoist temple, just go down the mountain.
Well, the Taoist temple will be returned to the public. If you are willing to stay, this property will be enough to support yourself. However, the teacher is not by your side. Remember not to be the same as before, otherwise you will not feel at ease even if you go to be the teacher.
,well!
Liu Shang just kept silent when he heard the sound. He was at a loss for words at this moment. After all, he was still a child. Yes, he thought so.
Although he has been with the master for so many years, he is considered smart and has learned everything from the master, but thinking that this day came so suddenly, he still couldn't help but cry.
The old Taoist was also sad when he heard this, but he didn't want to show it. Instead, he said angrily: "Don't cry. My merits have been perfected for my master. If you are unhappy, you cry and cry. How unbecoming is it? Okay, okay, stop it."
Liu Shang had tears hanging from the corners of her eyes and stopped crying. She looked at Master and knelt straight, what a fool.
The old Taoist was pleased, sighed, and said one after another. He temporarily suppressed his emotions and said: If you leave behind the inheritance of my master's incense, and if my master has the secret to teach you the method of transforming into a god, if you come down the mountain, then think of a way for me to bring it to you.
The incense is passed down, the method of thinking about becoming a god is left to future generations, and you find a person in the world who can inherit it.
Liu Shang's eyes were full of confusion and sorrow, and she said sincerely: I have lost my parents since I was a child. Since I was sensible, I have treated you as a relative. I am willing to pass on the incense to my master.
The old Taoist was even more pleased. In fact, he was interested in this disciple. He smiled with satisfaction, raised his hand and waved to his disciple: Come here, come closer.
As Liu Shang approached, the old Taoist raised his right hand with all his strength, pointed his index finger between Liu Shang's eyebrows, and said: Hold Yuan Shouyi, concentrate and calm down.
I don't know how long it took, but the old Taoist fell silent. Liu Sang knelt silently, keeping that posture with tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
It started to rain outside the Taoist temple, and the wind blew. The wind was not strong, but it brought waves, blowing a touch of sadness.
Liu Shang became the temple's master, and gradually fewer people came to the Taoist temple. Who could believe a seventeen-year-old boy? What ability could he have?
No! This viewer is getting worse and worse, almost to the point where he has nothing to eat!
After all, it is the 21st century, and it is not a waste of money. It is just that someone does not want to make progress. He is as famous as his master, but it is not a good name.
Since the old Taoist taught him how to become a god by contemplation, Liu Shang finally understood the joy of practicing Taoism. He learned to practice internally and rarely went out of the mountain. Therefore, the villagers down the mountain gradually forgot about the Taoist temple up the mountain and were gradually attracted to you to visit the Buddhist temple.
The temple is very popular there.
Relying on the little incense left by the master, I have been practicing hard and meditating on the method of becoming a god, and I have achieved some success. Now I can leave my body and go anywhere within one mile of my body, but it seems to have reached the limit.
I dare not go any further, because as long as I step beyond this limit, my spirit will feel as if it is being burned by fire.
He only knew that to become a god, he first had to visualize a god statue in his heart to replace his soul and become a spiritual god. The master did not tell him how to practice, so he could only explore on his own. If there was no object for visualization, he would just observe it.
Thinking of the Great God of Sanqing, a spiritual god was slowly born like this. I don’t know if it’s right or not. Anyway, I practiced like this. If the old Taoist knew about it, he would be scared to death. Fortunately, Liu Shang had a simple mind and was not distracted by the distractions of the world.
Dirty, otherwise the spirit will turn into ashes and become an idiot.
Liu Shang didn't know that there was another problem with Cunsi becoming a god, and that was the power of incense and fire. The old Taoist didn't know how to practice Cunsi becoming a god, so he was really dead when he died, and he didn't completely transform into a spiritual god.
The reason why Shang is successful is because he has no distracting thoughts and has a simple mind. To put it bluntly, he is an idiot.
Some time after the death of the old Taoist, there were still many villagers who thought about the benefits of the old Taoist before his death and often came to burn incense. Therefore, Liu Shang took advantage and succeeded in giving birth to a spiritual god with a little power of thought. His soul was outside the body for three months.
For three months, no one came to the temple to burn incense and recite the memorial. Tourists who came to visit occasionally barged in. Anyway, there was no charge. In this way, how could the incense be offered to Liu Chang for his cultivation?
Naturally, his cultivation has stopped like this, but it is not without benefits. At least, Liu Shang can be regarded as an outlier in this age of Dharma. He can communicate with small animals, feel the energy of mountains and rivers, and can also communicate with some deceased people.
When people talk, they don't know what these performances can bring to them, and they don't know that this world is an era of atheists. Such Liu Shang is indeed an alien element.
No one has practiced this method since Chen Tuan, and later derived from it the inner alchemy and fulu sects. Whether it is Zhengyi or Quanzhen, it is already a required course. It can be said that as long as it is a Taoist sect, there is no one who can't do it, but
When it comes to successfully giving birth to a spiritual god, hehe, only Liu Shang is the only one. If anyone finds out, their jaws will definitely drop.
Liu Shang was thinking about it. His prayer seemed to be answered by Sanqingtian. Several people walked into this dilapidated Taoist temple in the mountains. Liu Shang opened his eyes with joy and crossed the threshold of the hall in one step.
, In fact, the main hall is really not big, and it doesn’t matter if you take one step.
Liu Shang raised his hand and said: Blessed are the gods, but poor people are polite.
The visitors were both men and women, and they seemed to be here for fun. Seeing that the Taoist temple was simple and quiet, they curiously came in to explore.
A middle-aged man, wearing mountaineering equipment and holding a trekking pole in his hand, smiled and said politely: "Sorry to bother you, young master. We are tourists who are here to climb mountains. When we saw this quiet ancient temple, we came out of curiosity to explore it and disturb the young master's retreat."
I'm really sorry.
Liu Shang didn't take it seriously. Tourists often come here, just take a look and leave. It's nothing. He was just a little disappointed. Hearing this, he smiled and said: It's okay. You can do whatever you want, so I won't disturb you.
Several people felt embarrassed when they heard this. The middle-aged woman glanced at the man and said: Anyway, here we go to the temple to worship gods and Buddha. How about we also burn incense sticks? But they didn't know what he said. Save
killed them.
Liu Shang didn't pay attention to the few people at first, but after hearing the woman speak, he looked at the people seriously. When he looked at them, he only saw a black aura covering the brows of several people. Although he was not understanding of the world, he also
I know how many people may die soon. Although I know that life and death are destined, once they meet, it is fate. The Tao transforms the virtuous into the stupid. He doesn't understand this either. Anyway, he wants to try to save people.
"Time is fate, that's all. Meeting each other is fate. Pindao is here to save you!" As he said this, with a flick of the dust in his hand, the door of the Taoist temple closed for no reason.
There was a clang sound, which startled several people.
The inexplicable words made a few people at a loss and a little panicked. The first thought in their minds was that they encountered robbers and the temple was in trouble!
It’s really possible in these wild mountains and forests!
Liu Shang didn't know what they were thinking, so he said to himself: It's a fate, don't run around, after today, go down the mountain tomorrow, right?
After saying that, he returned to the main hall and didn't care about their random thoughts in the yard.
The middle-aged man reacted first and ran quickly towards the door, but the door could not be pushed open. He could only be heard exclaiming to several people: Come and help.
The woman and others also panicked, pushing open the door and preparing to call the police.
Liu Shang looked at them strangely and thought, these people are so strange! What is wrong with them?
Seeing that they couldn't get out of the door, several people prepared to climb over the wall, but once they reached the top of the wall, they saw several thick snakes lying on it, spitting out their snake cores leisurely, which was really scary.
Such a weird place, such a weird scene, and a weird little Taoist priest made several people become more and more panicked.
Liu Shang just looked at them, which made several people feel scared.
The middle-aged man forced himself not to panic, even if he encountered something unexplainable now, he tried his best to restrain himself and said: "Young master, we are going down the mountain. We don't mean to disturb your Qing Dynasty, please let us go."
Liu Shang was so forthright in saving people, but he just didn't understand the ways of the world. After all, he was just a guy who only knew how to practice. Hearing this, he shook his head and said: No, you can't go out today. If you go out, you will die.
You can't leave until today.
Well, it's better if this guy doesn't speak, but speaking will make people even more panicked.
What...what do you mean?
Several people were also made happy by Liu Shang. Why did you say that we would die if we went out? You threatened us, right? You were pretending to be a ghost to see if we didn't call the police and arrest you.
We looked at each other and said, "Since you can't get out, I'll arrest you. Why can't a few of us deal with you alone?"
You see, this is the result of lack of communication. However, it is really impossible to communicate with Liu Shang, unless you are very patient, which obviously many of you don't have, and you don't know what the consequences of your actions will be...
But they thought wrong, how wrong they were. Just when Liu Shang closed the door, it was obvious that this guy was already able to use some inhuman means of bluffing people. The law was not applied to the noble, and the skills were not applied to the noble. But these guys are just ordinary people.
Man, then it doesn’t matter.
"Young master, I'm sorry, come on." The middle-aged man took the lead, and several people went towards Liu Shang.
Although Liu Shang was pure in heart, he was not stupid. When he heard this, he said angrily: "I treat my good intentions like donkey's liver and lungs. I saved you, but you repaid me with kindness and asked for a beating."
How did his master beat him before?
Don't underestimate Liu Shang. After all, he has been practicing with his master for more than ten years. He has been running all over the barren mountains and ridges. He can't do it without some effort. Well, a few people have suffered the same old sin. I saw.
Swish swish swish….
As soon as the whisk came off, several people lay with bruises and swollen faces and could only howl.
Liu Shang was still upset and said with a smile: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, poor Taoist who kindly saved you, but you repay kindness with hatred. It's really unreasonable. Master is right, the world is so stupid, so I'll wake you up. Don't you dare to do it anymore?"
Do you dare to be unreasonable?
Several people looked confused and in pain, who was unreasonable?
The middle-aged woman was not beaten, not because Liu Shang cared about her, nor because she was naturally beautiful, but because the woman did not attack him, so she avoided an unnecessary beating.
Liu Shang's principle is that if you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you. If you mess with me, I'll beat you. He doesn't have to say anything about his talent in cultivation. Otherwise, if no one has succeeded in practicing Taoist Cunsi, he will become a god.
It’s done.
But when it comes to worldliness!
Well, the few lying on the ground have explained everything very well.
"Young master, stop, stop, we really shouldn't have asked the adults for more, I'll take them to make amends, make amends." The woman quickly interceded on behalf of several people.
Liu Sang muttered angrily: Huh, I forgive you this time. After tonight, you will go wherever you like tomorrow, I don't want to care about you. After saying that, he flicked the duster in his hand and drifted away... Uh.
Several people were beaten and became more honest. There was no signal on their mobile phones. They couldn't escape, they couldn't escape, they couldn't be beaten. They felt angry and helpless. Forget it, at least they finally understood, that hateful and irritable little Taoist priest.
If so, they can be let go tomorrow, but why does it have to be tomorrow?
