Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 359 Longevity
"Young master, do you come here to offer incense or to treat illnesses..."

A young Taoist priest, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, should be the apprentice or assistant of the young Taoist priest. He helped a woman fix her broken leg and hurried up to meet her. When she looked up and saw Qin Sang's face, she felt like she had seen a ghost.

His eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.

Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat, "Little Taoist priest, do you know me?"

"Master... Master..."

The little Taoist suddenly turned his head and shouted eagerly at the young Taoist.

This cry attracted all the eyes of Qingyang Palace.

Everyone looked at Qin Sang suspiciously.

Qin Sang spread his hands innocently, expressing his innocence and not bullying children.

"What are you doing all of a sudden? Did you read the "Qing Jing Sutra" for nothing?" The young Taoist priest was checking the pulse of an old man, he looked over dissatisfied, and reprimanded him.

"Master...he...he is..."

The little Taoist pointed at Qin Sang with one finger, his face was flushed red with anxiety, and he couldn't speak a word.

The young Taoist frowned slightly, followed the little Taoist's fingers to look at Qin Sang, and then suddenly his face changed, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

"Old sir, please wait a moment..."

The young Taoist hesitated for a moment, got up and hurriedly walked in front of Qin Sang, cupped his hands, and asked tentatively: "The poor Taoist Li Yufu, dare to ask your name."

"My surname is Qin..."

Seeing their performance, Qin Sang could also guess something, so he asked without any concealment, "What is your relationship with Mingyue?"

Asked by Qin Sang, Li Yufu showed shock on his face, and his tone was full of disbelief, "Master Mingyue is the former teacher. Are you... Uncle Qin?"

"Master?"

Qin Sang's heart sank, her voice was dry, "Mingyue has already..."

Li Yufu nodded with a heavy expression.

"call……"

Qin Sang let out a long breath, and found that the patients in the main hall were all looking at this side eagerly, maybe they were curious why the master of Qingyang Temple had such a young uncle.

Qin Sang shook his head, and said to Li Yufu: "You go to work first, we'll talk about it later."

"Disciple obey!"

Li Yufu obeyed Qin Sangyan, and went back to continue the diagnosis, but he was obviously absent-minded, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Qin Sang: "Uncle Qin, there will be more and more people seeking medical treatment in the future, and it may take a few more hours." How about letting Sedum take you to the apse to rest first?"

"Alright!"

Qin Sang nodded, and followed the little Taoist priest into the back hall of Qingyang Temple. Seeing that the little Taoist priest was a little restrained facing him, he asked, "Your name is Sedum?"

The little Taoist nodded, and said nervously: "Reporting to Master Uncle, when Master picked up the disciple, it was midsummer at night, and fireflies were flying all over the sky, so he gave the disciple the name Sedum."

Qin Sang let out an 'oh', and asked again, "Where are the spiritual seats of Taoist Jixin and Mingyue enshrined?"

"In the Patriarch Hall..."

The so-called Patriarch Hall is actually very simple, with three spiritual seats.

Yunyouzi, Jixin and Mingyue.

The lineage of Qingyangguan started from Yunyouzi, and Yunyouzi was a wild Taoist priest who became a monk halfway through. He was self-taught. There was no master in front of him, so there were only a few people, which seemed very thin.

Qin Sang sent Sedum to the front to help, took down Yunyouzi's spirit tablet, took out the incense sticks next to him, lit one for Jixin and Mingyue, and bowed.

"You're all gone..."

Qin Sang said softly in a faint voice.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, lost in thought, and all kinds of memories from the past came to his mind. After coming to this world, he spent the poorest and happiest time in Qingyang Temple.

Carefree and free.

Of the three "Taoist priests" of Qingyang Temple, he is the only one left now.

Taoist Ji Xin has a naked eye, if he lived to be over a hundred years old, Qin Sang was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect Mingyue to leave in such a hurry.

Next to the three spiritual tablets, there is a wooden box, in which Qin Sang found his own portrait, signed by Mingyue.

Unfolding the portrait, Qin Sang smiled knowingly.

In the portrait, his Taoist robe is crumpled and covered with dust, holding a stone in his hand, staring intently at the birds in the air, his hands are ready to shoot, as if he can kill a bird at any time Teeth fighting festival.

The portrait is lifelike, no wonder Li Yufu master and apprentice recognized him at a glance.

……

The sun moved to the center little by little.

Jing Tian was making lunch, so she came in and asked Qin Sang what he liked to eat.

"Let's make a bowl of miscellaneous porridge," Qin Sang said.

……

It was not until evening that Li Yufu finished seeing the patient, and hurried over, "Your negligence, please forgive me, Master Qin."

Qin Sang looked at him with a half-smile, "Who told you to call me uncle?"

Li Yufu didn't expect Qin Sang to ask such a question, and said, "Ah", "Master ordered it."

Qin Sang shook his head with a smile, he didn't formally ask for a teacher back then, and Taoist Ji Xin may have seen that he didn't care about it, and never mentioned the matter of accepting apprentices.

The so-called brother's words were just to fool Mingyue and take advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, he always remembered.

"Since you are uncle, why didn't you put my spirit seat on it?" Qin Sang asked again.

Li Yufu quickly replied: "Master said that Master, you have gone to seek immortality. You will definitely become immortal and live forever. Just let the disciples remember you in their hearts..."

Qin Sang gave an 'hmm'.

It seems that he faked his death that night, and he did not hide it from the eyes of Taoist Ji Xin.

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to tell his whereabouts back then, and asked: "...Later when I came to Cuiming Mountain, I knew that Chang and Mingyue had gone away. I also sent my subordinates to various countries to search for them, but they couldn't find them. Find them, where have they been? When did they come back?"

Li Yu said with axe.

"After the master and the master left Cuiming Mountain, they took a boat down the south of the Yangtze River, traveled to various countries, treated diseases and saved lives along the way, and finally settled down in Chen Country at the end of the Wuling River.

"At that time, the plague was rampant in the Kingdom of Chen. Regardless of their own safety, they used medicine to diagnose diseases, and even did not hesitate to contract the plague themselves to find the right medicine. Countless people survived.

"The local people are grateful for the ancestors and the kindness of the master, and built a ancestral hall for them, which is still receiving incense and worship.

"The disciple is also from the Chen country, lost his parents when he was a baby, and was taken in by the master.

"When the master is old and thinks of his hometown, he will bring his disciples back to Cuiming Mountain to revive the Qingyang Temple..."

When Li Yufu spoke eloquently, Qin Sang listened fascinated.

No wonder Master Jixin and his disciples have not been found, they have traveled so far, Chen Guoyuan is at the end of Wuling River.

When Li Yufu talked about the Wanjiasheng Temple, his tone was full of pride.

Qin Sang also sincerely admired the good deeds and persistence of Master Jixin and his disciples. They never forgot their thoughts, and the Wanjiasheng Temple is what they deserve.

He couldn't help thinking that as long as the sacrifices and incense continued, Taoist Jixin and Mingyue would gradually become the gods in the hearts of the local people and be remembered forever.

Is this also a kind of longevity?
