In the Qingcheng Temple, the sound of bells and drums that seem to be far away echoes in this Taoist temple, like the sound of fairy music.
Along the way, I saw many Taoist priests in the Taoist temple busy carrying things and running back and forth.
Seeing those Taoist priests walking in and out of various halls with bouquets of flowers and incense burners in their hands. Lu Heng felt a little curious and stopped to take a look.
"In five days, it will be Qingcheng Taoist Master's birthday banquet. From the looks of it, we are planning to celebrate grandly!" Beside him, Monk Hai lowered his voice and pointed at the Taoist priests running back and forth and said to Lu Heng.
Five days later?
After Lu Heng glanced around, he secretly calculated the time in his mind.
Five days is indeed a bit rushed. But it’s almost there!
He pondered for a moment, smiled at the sea, nodded, and followed Heng Yi up the steps in front of him.
"Special envoy and Master Hai, please come in. The rest of the people are waiting outside the hall!" When they entered, the two little Taoist priests who were guarding the door stretched out their swords with a clatter, blocked the way, and said to Lu Heng and others with an arrogant look on their faces.
.
As soon as the words came out, the expressions of Agui and others suddenly changed.
Agui snorted coldly and stepped forward, ready to pull the two little Taoist priests apart.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Lu Heng stopped him.
"Sir, this guy is really hateful!" Agui stared at the little Taoist priest with a sullen look on his face, and said angrily to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng smiled slightly and shook his head at Agui, telling him not to be impulsive.
Turning around, he looked at the little Taoist priest with his nostrils pointing upward. He turned around and looked at Heng Yi, who was standing aside with his arms folded. He chuckled in his heart and secretly said, "Ha, are you showing off your power?" This Taoist priest,
Why don't you let them in?" Lu Heng politely saluted the little Taoist priest, then straightened up and looked at the little Taoist priest.
The little Taoist priest glanced at the scholar in front of him, thought for a while, and then secretly glanced at Heng Yi's face. Seeing that the senior brother was looking at him with admiration, the little Taoist priest suddenly felt at ease.
"The leader of our sect has said that no idlers are allowed in!" After the little Taoist said this, it was not enough. He turned around and took out a wooden board from behind and erected it at the door.
"Oh!" Lu Heng nodded with sudden realization. Looking at the crooked handwriting on the wooden board, he rubbed his chin and thought for a while before saying: "So that's it!"
"You know it!" The little Taoist priest crossed his arms and said with a proud smile.
Lu Heng nodded, looked at him and smiled. He turned around and looked at Agui and the five Qianniu Guards. After looking them up and down, he asked: "Oh, you are just idle people."
?"
Agui and others were stunned for a moment, but when they saw the playful look in the young master's eyes, they immediately understood.
"No!" Agui and others all raised their heads and replied loudly.
"Ha, that's good!" Lu Heng smiled, turned around, opened his hands to the astonished little Taoist priest, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Taoist Master, you see, we don't have anyone waiting here!"
After saying this, before the little Taoist priest could react, Agui rushed over and reached out to push the door open with a creak.
"No, you can't..." Seeing a group of people filing in, the little Taoist priest guarding the door came to his senses. As he spoke, he reached out to pull Qian Niuwei who was walking behind.
"Fuck you!" Qian Niuwei doesn't have such a good temper as Lu Heng. In the capital, even those first- and second-grade officials have to show some dignity when they join them. Now, they have turned into idlers.
.This was the first time in the world. I had already suppressed a fire in my heart. Now when I saw this little kid still taking action, I suddenly became furious and kicked the little Taoist priest in the abdomen.
"Oops!" The little Taoist priest was kicked back and forth, and his body hit the wooden door with a bang.
"Come here, we're beating someone!" Another little Taoist priest panicked when he saw his companion being beaten, and shouted loudly while running down.
There was a bang. After hearing this call, the Taoist priests who had been running around the hall hurriedly threw away the guys in their hands. They rushed over with the guys in their arms. In just a few breaths, they gathered at the door of the hall.
There are nearly a hundred Taoist priests.
"What's wrong, junior brother!" A Taoist priest angrily pulled the little Taoist priest running over and asked eagerly.
"He, they beat the incompetent senior brother!" The little Taoist priest tearfully accused these people of their evil deeds. His words were so poignant that he couldn't help but admire him deeply.
"Damn it, what kind of savage dares to hit me, Taoist Qingcheng, you are so unruly!"
"Brothers, let's stand shoulder to shoulder and take them down!"
"Yes, capture them and hand them over to the bailiff!"
After hearing the accusation from their junior brother, the rest of the Qingcheng Dao disciples immediately went crazy. They rushed forward with a roar and surrounded Lu Heng and others in the blink of an eye.
When the Qianniu Guards who were guarding Lu Heng saw that these people dared to attack the officials, they all snorted coldly, drew out their swords with a swish sound, and protected Lu Heng. They looked at these Taoist priests with sinister expressions.
As soon as Lu Heng gave the order, they were about to go on a killing spree.
"Young Master, I'm sorry, I never thought this would happen!" Qian Niuwei, who had just laid a black foot, saw these people attacking him. Although he was not afraid, he was worried about the Young Master behind him. He turned around and said,
He said to Lu Heng apologetically.
"From now on, you have to use your brain when doing things!" Lu Heng glanced at him lightly and said in a deep voice: "Use your brain first, then take action!"
"Yes, my subordinates know!" Qian Niuwei replied in a muffled voice, cupping his fists and saying to Lu Heng.
"But!" Lu Heng smiled and looked at the Qianniu Guard who lowered his head and admitted his mistake sincerely. After his voice paused for a moment, he said calmly: "However, since you have taken action, you should do it thoroughly. That kick,
Haha, it really doesn’t look like he was kicked out by Qianniuwei.”
After saying that, Lu Heng turned around, looked at Qian Niuwei up and down, and asked with a smile: "You didn't eat anything this morning?"
Qian Niuwei: "..." He was nervous for a long time, afraid that the young master would punish him, but he didn't expect that the young master would say this.
At this time, seeing the young master looking at him strangely, Qian Niuwei suddenly became ashamed and hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Lu Heng: "Subordinate, I know what to do next!"
Hai recited the Buddha's name, looked at Lu Heng and shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "Master, hey, you are teaching people to do evil. It is really not right!"
Lu Heng smiled and asked lightly: "Master, do you think you should reason with that little Taoist priest just now?"
"Does it work?" Lu Heng turned his head and looked at the sea. He asked with a smile.
"Ahem, it doesn't seem to be working!" Hai was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.
Lu Heng smiled, put his hand on Hai's shoulder, and said with a hint of joking in his tone: "Yes, if it is managed and managed, then there is no need to learn the master's Tathagata Palm!" Hai: "..."This is
At this time, more and more Taoist priests surrounded Lu Heng and others. And as a few Taoist priests in the crowd fanned the flames, the besieging Taoist priests became more and more excited. They were about to take action.
"Master!" Agui slowly approached Lu Heng, his hand already pressed on the hilt of the sword. After squinting at the Taoist priests, he turned his head and looked at Lu Heng worriedly.
But when he turned around, he found that Lu Heng was still as calm as water. "One, two,..." After Lu Heng glanced at the besieging Taoist priests around him, he turned around and headed towards that.
He took a look at the dark and deep hall, smiled slightly, and said to himself.
"Five!" When Lu Heng counted to five.
In the dark and deep hall, a slightly delicate voice suddenly came.
"Don't be rude to the guests, please leave!"
The sound was very sharp, like the squeaking sound of steel knives crossing each other, and coupled with the echo of the hall, it sounded even more creepy.
"This sound..." After hearing the sound, Agui scratched his head and whispered to himself: "Why does it sound like a duck!"
When the Qianniu Guards beside him heard this voice, their expressions suddenly changed slightly. After looking at each other, they nodded with understanding.
"Sir, I'm afraid this person is..." Qian Niuwei turned around, approached Lu Heng, lowered his voice, and prepared to identify this person.
"A eunuch?" Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at Qian Niuwei with a smile, and said lightly.
"Young master, do you know?" Qian Niuwei's eyes widened and he looked astonished.
"Ha, I've seen it on TV!" Lu Heng blinked at Qian Niuwei, laughed loudly, then turned around and crossed the threshold with his feet, and walked in.
"television?"
Qian Niuwei scratched his head in confusion, TV? What is this!
After entering the main hall and walking forward for a while, everyone gradually adapted to the light in the main hall.
In this hall, the velvet carpet is laid directly from the door to under the throne deep in the hall.
On both sides, hundreds of feet tall Taoist statues stood majestically. These statues looked lifelike, either raising their heads and laughing, or looking down and glaring. They were like a group of gods, looking down at Lu Heng and his party below.
Coupled with the flickering light in the blazing brazier next to the statue of the god, the entire hall gave people an extremely depressing and weird feeling.
"Good craftsmanship!" Lu Heng stopped and took a look at the statue. He saw the five Qianniu Guards around him, all looking trembling, as if they were afraid of alarming the gods. He smiled and said in an easy-going manner.
The purpose of this architectural style is to create a strange and solemn atmosphere in the hall, so that people who enter the hall will have a kind of respect and fear for the gods in their hearts.
Coupled with the weird firelight and mysterious totems, everyone who enters the hall will be affected by this atmosphere unconsciously. Just look at the expressions of the Qianniu Guards next to you.
But for Lu Heng, all this seems to be superfluous.
An eminent monk is an eminent monk, and an expert is an eminent person. To believers, they are faith. Moreover, they also have enough self-confidence and cultivation to become faith.
Now the leader of Qingcheng Dao is using this heresy to establish his own identity.
Ha, it is indeed a bit too much!
"Haha, the guests are so funny. I have been in charge of Qingcheng Road for decades, and this is the first time I have seen someone call a god a good craftsman!"
Just when the Qianniu Guards were scratching their heads and laughing, several torches suddenly lit up in the center of the hall. In the blazing fire, an extremely luxurious and exquisite throne was reflected.
And on that seat, an old Taoist priest wearing a golden Taoist robe, um, quite a bit of flavor, was sitting on that chair, looking up and laughing.@.
