I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 644: Shocking the Gods
Zhu Chengzi was confused, but doubts were doubts, but he never dared to be disrespectful.

Fulong Temple does not have a good reputation among the people, even though there are often legends about a certain immortal Taoist who slayed demons, helped the troubled times, or enlightened the court, such as the Fuyang Taoist who supported Dayan in the past and inspired Dayan to revitalize nearly a hundred years ago. That Taoist priest, there was also a legend about a female Taoist who subdued demons and demons decades ago, but the world was relatively stable at that time and there were fewer legends.At the same time, there are legends about them among the people, but few people know which Taoist temple they come from. Because Taoists walk down the mountain, they all have a tacit understanding. They often say they are from Lingquan County, Yizhou, and few people directly tell the people about Fulong Temple.

However, Fulongguan is the pinnacle of humanity, but Fengtianguan knows it. The Tiansuan Taoist from nearly a hundred years ago is a god-like existence that Fengtianguan has been pursuing and admiring all his life.

To them, the successor of Fulongguan is undoubtedly a well-known big shot and should never be neglected.

So as soon as Song You arrived, Zhu Chengzi ordered a dinner to be prepared with the highest standards.

Fengtian Temple has its own vegetable fields, chicken coops and sheep pens. The temple always has rare ingredients, which is enough to entertain even the governor of the state. However, today it is not enough.

There must also be freshly hunted mountain delicacies, pheasants and venison, fresh water, fish and shrimps. Among the six livestock, except cattle, all other animals must be fully prepared, and the missing spices in the temple must be replaced quickly. .

Some have to hunt in the mountains, some have to buy at the foot of the mountain, and some have to borrow from other Taoist temples. It is not easy.

In their haste, the pilgrims and tourists saw that all the Taoist priests, large and small, in the temple had put down what they were doing. Even those who were chatting with the rich and nobles to solve their doubts, they all bowed and apologized and left, unaware of what was happening in Fengtian Temple. What important matter had happened? I don’t know what they were discussing in the backyard. Within a moment, they saw the Taoist priests from Guanzhong walking out of the mountain gate one after another. Some went down the mountain, and some hurriedly walked behind the mountain.

The Taoist priests looked nervous and walked in a hurry, which was very strange for the Fengtianguan Taoist priests who were good at divination and strategizing.

Someone asked a familiar Taoist priest.

He only replied: "A distinguished guest is coming."

No one knows who the distinguished guest is.

I only know that Fengtian Temple has always been calm and noble, and according to Dayan's habits, even if the emperor comes in person, he will not be so nervous and flustered.

Yes--

If the emperor were to come in person, Taoist Master Guanzhong would definitely be able to predict it in advance.

Zhu Chengzi and one of his junior disciples, who was also a very prestigious Taoist in the temple, accompanied Song You all the time.

"Where did your Majesty come from today?"

"Come from Yunding Mountain." Song You said after answering, "This visit is not only a visit, but also a way to offer incense to the gods through the Taoist temple. Whether it is a visit or an incense offering, it is a door-to-door request. Taoist Master Zhu Chengzi does not I think it’s good that we arrived suddenly, and I don’t dare to say you’re honored, so just call me Taoist friend.”

"Respect is worse than obedience!"

Zhu Chengzi said this, but in his heart he thought of the three words "Yunding Mountain" and remained silent.

Luming Mountain is half in Pingzhou and half in Yaozhou. Fengtian Temple is on the Pingzhou side, and it belongs to the same state as Yunding Mountain. With Fengtian Temple's ability and expertise, it knows all the major events in the world. A few months ago, there was a Rumors spread throughout Pingzhou that the god had come, and it turned out to be this one.

But I didn't hear that the god had left.

I'm afraid this person didn't come here slowly.

I'm afraid I just came from Yunding Mountain today.

Yunding Mountain is nearly a thousand miles away, and maybe it will be a few days before I hear the news that the immortal on Yunding Mountain has left.

"The weather is good today, a rare warm and sunny day in winter. Last year, Miaohuazi's nephew sent people to give two glazed crystal tiles to the temple and placed them on the roof of Tianweng Hall. Every afternoon, the sun shines through the glazed The crystal tiles shone down to form a thin line, illuminating the cigarette dust. Pilgrims all liked that scene." Miao Huazi considered his words, "Before dinner time, Taoist friend Song came to watch and offer incense, so why not be poor at this time? Just take Fellow Daoist Song there."

"There's no rush," Song You said, "I have something important to do, and it's best to do it late at night."

"Late at night..."

Zhu Chengzi tasted it carefully and did not dare to disobey or continue to test. He just said:

"Just follow my Taoist friend."

By mid-afternoon, pilgrims were coming down the mountain one after another.

With the name of Luming Mountain and Fengtian Temple, there are hotels at the foot of the mountain, carriage shops beside the official road, chicken and feather shops in the cottages, and there is also a good inn.There are only a limited number of guest rooms in Fengtian Temple. If these pilgrims cannot return home for the day, it will be difficult for them to stay overnight in the temple, so they have to go down the mountain to stay.

Today is even more special.

The master of the temple, Zhu Chengzi, thought carefully and ordered that those pilgrims who had paid a high price and were either rich or noble should be invited down the mountain on the grounds that there was something important happening in the temple.

Dayan respected Taoists, but no one acted arrogantly.

Just on the way down the mountain, I saw many Taoist priests who had finished shopping and borrowed, and hurried up the mountain with various ingredients and spices. Their pace was very fast, and they couldn't help but be amazed and confused. When asked about these Taoist priests, they only knew that the temple owner It is said that a distinguished guest is visiting, so I gave this order, but I don’t know who the distinguished guest is.

As dusk falls, the skylight is like a dream, reflecting the silhouettes of the mountains. Fengtian Temple is extremely pure.

Lanterns were lit in all the courtyards and palaces.

After a while, Taoist music sounded.

Pingzhou has a strong atmosphere of immortals, gods, demons and ghosts, and a splendid culture of practicing and learning Taoism. Fengtian Temple is one of the four famous Taoist mountains, and has its own long-standing Taoist rhyme system.

With chimes as the main musical instrument, and the Taoist priests of the Taoist band singing sometimes lowly and sometimes high-pitched, the many sounds come together to make it sound ancient and long-lasting, and full of charm when savored.It is said that during the reign of the late Emperor, Prime Minister Dayan visited Fengtian Temple and stayed overnight. After listening to the Taoist rhyme in the temple, he saw in a trance that an ancient god came from the lower world and an old immortal came to him. During the dinner conversation with him, the Taoist rhyme disappeared into smoke as soon as the Taoist rhyme stopped. .The story spread widely.

The rhyming sound lasted for a long time and then stopped.

There are other Taoist temples in the mountains, with great and small reputations, high and low inheritances, and far and near from Fengtian Temple. Some people have heard the Taoist rhyme of Fengtian Temple and can judge it just from the sound and duration of the Taoist rhyme. I'm afraid there will be a very distinguished guest visiting today.

In addition, today there are disciples of Fengtian Guan who came in a hurry to borrow ingredients, which is inconsistent with the style of Fengtian Guan who is good at divination and foresight, and it is inevitable to be curious.

A Taoist man was free and came to check it out.

But I saw that the gate of Fengtian Temple was closed, but it was brightly lit inside. It was rare that it was filled with lanterns and candles, and the aroma of food could be heard.But as soon as Daoyun stopped, there was almost no noise.

The feast lasted for nearly an hour.

The glow on the horizon also dimmed.

"Thank you Taoist Taoist for your warm hospitality. It's just a bit too extravagant and wasteful. I can't feel at ease." Song You walked into the main hall and walked into the corridor of the Taoist temple and said to Zhu Chengzi.

"This is a blessing."

"Fellow Taoist is too polite."

Song You shook his head and said as he walked.

A cat followed behind him with small steps.

"..." Song You pursed his lips and asked casually, "Do you know that there is a mantra temple on the mountain?"

"Of course I know." Zhu Chengzi replied, "The Mantra Temple is not far from here. The disciples in the temple were originally good at the method of incantation. Later, they acquired more advanced incantations and became famous in the mountain."

"Do you know, fellow Taoist, that there is a Taoist named Mu Shou in Zhenyan Temple?"

"Mu Shou?"

After Zhu Chengzi thought for a moment, he knew and why he asked, so he continued to answer truthfully: "There is indeed such a Taoist, but we all call him by his Taoist name on weekdays. I heard that he went there many years ago While wandering around in Changjing, he once sought refuge with Junior Brother Chang Yuanzi, but later he had evil intentions and took a wrong path, and was punished by his superiors. When he returned to the Mantra Monastery in the mountains, he had fallen under his own evil spell, and he could no longer speak or cast any spells. , and there were several wounds left on his body by his enemies." Zhu Chengzi paused for a moment, as if thinking about it, and seemed to know who the master was, so he was thinking about what to say:
"After returning to the Taoist temple, none of his fellow apprentices liked him, and the younger disciples also rejected him because of his conduct. In addition, he could no longer cast spells or speak, so he received a lot of cold treatment. However, the concept of Taoism Since he was a Taoist priest in Guanzhong, they found him a room in the back to live in and allowed him to practice alone. They sent him some food and soup every day so that he wouldn't starve. It is said that during the practice, the itching on his body became ulcerated. Slowly I got better, and I became much calmer.

"Probably the year before last—

"Because he was injured when he left the capital, and he was getting older, it is said that he died on the couch in the house, and someone heard him speak before he died.

"indeed:

"I was burdened with debts throughout my life, but my mind was at peace before my death."

Zhu Chengzi said, quietly looking at Song You, and then quickly looking away.

Song You didn't say anything, just sighed in his heart.

When I was in Changjing, I briefly met this Taoist named Mu Shou, whose Taoist name was Pingqiuzi, at the Taishi Mansion. Because he helped Zhou to do evil and intended to harm himself, he treated others in his own way and punished him at the same time. He was not allowed to speak or cast spells for the rest of his life, and he was told to go back to the mountains to practice. If he reaches great success in practice, the punishment would be lifted naturally.

This man really returned to Luming Mountain to practice cultivation.

But he didn't expect that the day when his practice would be complete would be the day of his death.

But I don’t know whether it was before death that I realized enlightenment, or when I realized enlightenment, I gave up ordinary thoughts and cut off the negative fate of my life.

"Tianweng Temple is just ahead."

Zhu Chengzi pointed forward and faced Song You.

In front is a corridor that looks like a palace garden. The redwood pillars are curved along the corridor. From a distance, one after another, between the pillars are newly hung paper lanterns, and the candles inside have just been burned. Halfway through, it looks dreamy.

"Thank you."

Song You sincerely thanked him.

All the way forward.

During the day, people came and went in Tianweng Hall, where many pilgrims and tourists came and went. It was very quiet at the moment. Many candles were lit just for the Taoist priests, and fine incense candles were placed. The shadows of the candles swayed, and it was extremely quiet.

The Taoist walked into it and looked left and right.

The so-called Tian Weng is the Emperor of Heaven.

It is an ancient name for the Emperor of Heaven.

Previously it was Yang Tianweng.

Now it is Lin Tianweng, also known as the Chijin Emperor.

There is a long row of altars in Tianweng Hall, and the one enshrined in the middle is naturally the Chijin Emperor. From the left and right to the edge of the altar, all the people standing there are the most important orthodox gods of the current Tiangong.Some ancient gods with low reputation among the people but with high status in the Heavenly Palace were also moved to the altar of this largest temple by Fengtian Temple.

This is the benefit of the orthodox Taoist view.

It saved Song You a lot of energy in running around.

"Fellow……"

Song You stopped at the door, turned around and said to Zhu Chengzi, who was about to accompany him in, "Please close the palace door for me."

Zhu Chengzi understood immediately.

So he took back his steps and closed the door for him.

Song You then walked inside——

If a Taoist wants to know about the heavenly palace and the gods, it is natural to find a temple and borrow the temples and statues of the gods. This is inevitable.After all, gods are gods. When Taoists fight gods, no matter whether they win or lose, neither side has any reason to anger a Taoist temple. Moreover, Taoist temples are places where gods and statues are enshrined and they serve the gods. Emperor Chijin will never be embarrassed by this. Fengtian temple dedicated to him.

But Song You didn't want Zhu Chengzi to come in.

Firstly, it is not necessary. Secondly, if Zhu Chengzi is accompanying him when doing this, it is somewhat different from a Taoist borrowing a Taoist temple and using the statues in the temple to pray to the gods.

Don't do harm to others when you treat others warmly.

Then he looked around the circle of statues by candlelight, counting which ones were there and which ones were not, and which ones had to go to other temples outside. After he knew what was going on, he selected three sticks of incense.

A row of gods, all of whom are important gods in heaven.

There is no shortage of ancient gods.

Some are virtuous and some are ungrateful.

The Taoist took two steps back, shook the incense stick in a circle, lit it, then calmly concentrated his energy, and said in a deep voice:
"The successor of Fulongguan, Song You, studied under many Taoist practitioners, and hereby pays homage to all the gods——

"But as the world moves forward, the world is in chaos, demons and ghosts appear, and the gods of heaven and earth are complicated. There are many gods with no virtues in the sky. They have no virtues, but they have the position of gods. They occupy their positions and do not seek their own government. They may even do harm in turn. Those who seek incense in the world have become the source of troubles in the world and are also the beginning of the corruption of gods.

"I will reorganize the road to heaven. From now on, unless there are virtuous people, and unless the people's will and strength gather together, people who should be gods will not be able to ascend to heaven again.

"This move is in line with the way of heaven, and in line with the people's hearts. Please know this, please, and don't do anything against heaven."

The sound swayed in the hall like candlelight, swayed in the air like smoke from a cigarette, but followed the smoke that drifted towards the many statues of gods in the hall, drifted into the distant night sky, and echoed in the heavenly palace.

This can be described as earth-shattering and shocking to people and gods.

Zhu Chengzi, who was outside the door and was listening in secret, opened his eyes wide. He immediately stepped back a few steps and distanced himself from the palace door - it was obviously not eavesdropping, but he was extremely regretful that he did not stand upright and farther away, and inadvertently listened. To the content that mortals should not hear.

"!"

The divine light shone continuously in the hall.

When even a statue opened its eyes and looked down at the indifferent Taoist holding the incense, he was sure that he was indeed the descendant of Fulong Temple. Then he closed his eyes and left with a different thought.

I don’t know how many gods have come.

I don’t know how many gods are watching.

I don’t know how many gods asked.

Some were surprised, some were angry, some were puzzled, some seemed to have expected it, and some were worried, with different expressions.

The Taoist stood in the hall, where the candlelight was bright, and there was only a calico cat beside him, whose eyes were also wide open, facing the gaze of many great gods and ancient gods. However, he remained motionless, and so did his heart.
