The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Li Daoling took out another piece of paper from the cabinet and handed it to Zhong Wen.

And on this piece of paper, what is drawn is the map where Taiyi Gate is located.

After Zhong Wen took it, he looked at it casually, folded it and stuffed it into his clothes.

The picture is somewhat unclear, at least in Zhong Wen's eyes, this map is difficult to identify where and where it is.

But Zhong Wen remembered that his master had told him before that exactly where the Taiyi Gate was located, so Zhong Wen didn't need to carefully identify it.

"Nine poems, the matter of the master's sect, I will leave it to you as a master. I hope you can find the classics of the master's sect, so as to comfort the ancestors."

This time, Li Daoling can be said to have entrusted all the heavy burdens to his beloved disciple, once the burden was unloaded, he became extremely relaxed.

"The disciple respects the order of the master and dare not forget it. The disciple will definitely go to the Taiyi Sect to find the classics of the master's sect."

Zhong Wen arched his hands, bowed to Li Daoling and made a big salute.

This is what he should do. When he first entered the temple, he didn't pay much attention to it, but after a few years, he also began to find a sense of belonging.

Yes, at this time, Zhong Wen no longer regards his identity as a profession, and he is a real Taoist priest of Longquan temple, the master of the future temple of Longquan temple, the successor of Taiyi sect, and even more so. The future door owner.

"Master has lost his heart and power, and he can't complete the affairs of the master. Therefore, everything about the master is up to you to complete. This is the recommendation letter from the teacher. When the time comes, you take this recommendation letter Go to Chang'an Zongzheng Temple, so as not to embarrass you."

Finally, Li Daoling came out with the recommendation letter he had already written and handed it to Zhong Wen.

Zhong Wen didn't know what it meant, and what was the use of the recommendation letter, but he just took it and stuffed it into his arms.As long as it was handed over to him by Li Daoling, he had to take care of it, it might be useful in the future.

Chapter 138 The Little Taoist Goes Down the Mountain

A letter of recommendation, to tell Zhong Wen that he, Li Daoling, has ended his life's mission, and paved the way for Zhong Wen to move forward.

He, Li Daoling, at this moment, like a late old man, sat down slowly.

No one knew how tiring his life was, and no one could understand it. Even Zhong Wen, who was standing in front of him, couldn't understand how much Li Daoling had carried in his life.

However, from now on, what Li Daoling has carried all his life, will be carried by Zhong Wenlai.

As for how long Zhong Wen can bear it, it may be a year, maybe ten years, or even a lifetime like Li Daoling.

The burden was so heavy that Li Daoling carried it all his life.Decades ago, after Li Daoling took it from his master, he never took it off again.

And Zhong Wen took over from his master, and in the future, it will also become a heavy burden on Zhong Wen's shoulders.

"Master, do you have any orders?"

Zhong Wen didn't feel the relaxed mood in Li Daoling's heart. At this moment, Zhong Wen only thought about the outside world.

"I don't have anything to explain. Teacher, I hope you will pay more attention to your own safety in the future."

After Li Daoling finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly and said nothing more.

"Yes, master." Zhong Wen saw that Li Daoling closed his eyes, and after responding, he put away the burden from the table, turned and left.Before leaving the house, he closed the door smoothly.

Perhaps, Li Daoling's eyes were closed tightly, and Zhong Wen just thought that the master might be tired, or maybe he didn't want to see him going down the mountain for a trip.

As for the reason, Zhong Wen didn't think about it carefully. After all, his mood at the moment was flying in the sky, and he wished he could go down the mountain immediately and start wandering in the rivers and lakes.

This is just like in the previous life, a child who had never been to the capital, was always thinking about the scene of going to the capital, and couldn't even sleep soundly.

Before breakfast, Zhong Wen walked to his home down the mountain again, planning to tell his parents, so that he could have an explanation, so as to save his parents from worrying.

"Father and mother, under the order of my master, I will go down the mountain and leave here for a year."

After Zhong Wen had breakfast at home, he began to speak to Zhong Mugen and his wife with the speech he had prepared.And the time he set for this year is also his provisional time.

"Xiaowen, why is it so sudden? Why does it take a year? Where are you going? Is it far away?"

After listening to Zhong Wen's words, Xiu began to worry about whether her son would suffer outside if he left here. In his mother's heart, his son would always be a child who would never grow up, so he would naturally be worried.

"Yeah, Xiaowen, why are you leaving all of a sudden?" Zhong Mugen was also at a loss, and his life is much better than anyone else's. Hearing that his son is going to leave here suddenly, the feeling in his heart Worried, no less than his wife.

"Father, mother, don't worry about me. If things go well, my son will come back in less than a year."

Zhong Wen really didn't know whether the one year he talked about would be able to handle the affairs of the master's school well, and he didn't know how far he could go in one year.

In this era without any trains and airplanes, one year is really too short to measure the world with only his legs.

Not to mention running the affairs of the master's school well, after all, this is the most important thing.

"One year is too long. Your mother is still planning to go to your grandmother and the others to tell you a lady. You are about to leave now. It seems that this matter has to be put aside for the time being."

Zhong Mugen knew that it was better not to ask some questions. His son was from the temple, and things were also the affairs of the temple. They also knew that it was best not to ask more questions.

As for him, although he was worried in his heart, it was all like this now, and it was impossible for him to go to Li Daoling to talk about it.

"Xiaowen, you... this..., mother, I..." Xiu didn't know what to say to her son at this time, and she became speechless.

The sudden news made Xiu feel at a loss. She didn't know why it happened, let alone why it came so suddenly.

Xiu really didn't know what to say at this moment, she only knew that she was wiping away her tears, but in her heart she was thinking about some scenes of her son since he was a child, one scene after another appeared in front of her eyes.

Zhong Wen, who has never left her parents' side, in her eyes, is still a little baby who can only crawl around.But in the blink of an eye, my son has grown up, and now he has to leave his parents and face everything outside alone.

"Father and mother, don't worry about me. I have kung fu, and I will take good care of myself when I walk outside. If there is something at home, go to Guanli to find the master. The master will try his best to help the family."

"And you, little sister, you need to study more in the future and practice the kung fu I taught you more without interruption. If you have any questions, you can go to the temple and ask my master."

Zhong Wen was really confused by his aunt's appearance, so he didn't know what to say, so he threw aside all the remarks he had prepared.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen didn't say much, just left a sentence: I want to go back and prepare for tomorrow.He turned around and left the house, and went to the temple.

As for Zhong Mugen, his wife, and Xiao Hua, they sat at home in a daze, with a dazed look on their faces.

Perhaps, the three of them had a lot to say, but they couldn't say anything at this moment, and could only watch Zhong Wen leave.

But in the hearts of the three of them, they all hope that Zhong Wen will be safe outside, not to cause trouble, be careful, and come back sooner.

In the early morning of the second day, all the people gathered in the main hall of Longquan Temple.

Li Daoling stood at the front, Zhong Wen behind him, and the Taoists in the temple behind, and behind the Taoists stood the family members of each family.

"My ancestors, the No. 18th generation disciple Li Daoling, along with the No. 19th generation disciple Jiushou, and everyone in the temple, respect the ancestors. Today, the No. 19th generation disciple Jiushou has completed his studies and descended the mountain..."

Li Daoling respectfully worshiped the Patriarchs of the Three Qing Dynasty and the Patriarchs of the Taiyi Sect, who were enshrined in the main hall.

Zhong Wen's descending from the mountain means that the teacher has a good family, it represents the Longquan Temple, and it also represents the Taiyi School. Worship is a ceremony, and it is also a respect to the ancestors, and it is a rule.

The ceremony lasted for half an hour before it ended.

After Li Daoling presided over the worship ceremony, he turned and returned to his room, leaving everyone behind.

"Jiu Shou, let's go, we will all send you down the mountain together, your master probably feels a little uncomfortable seeing you down the mountain."

After watching Li Daoling leave, Chen Feng patted Zhong Wen's shoulder to express his comfort.

"Uncle Chen, I'll go to the master's door to say goodbye." After hearing what Chen Feng said, Zhong Wen went to Li Daoling's house.

"Master, the disciple is going down the mountain, please take care of yourself, master."

After Zhong Wen finished speaking, he bowed to Li Daoling in the room, got up and left, leaving Li Daoling in the room with a long and heavy sigh.

Afterwards, Chen Feng took everyone and sent Zhong Wen out of Longquan Temple, stood in front of the gate of Longquan Temple, and watched Zhong Wen go down the mountain.

Zhong Wen bid farewell to Chen Feng and the others, carrying a burden on his back, and holding the meteoric iron sword in his hand, he headed for his home down the mountain.

"Father, Auntie, my son is not filial and cannot serve at your knees, please accept my son's worship."

Zhong Mugen, his wife, and Xiaohua have been waiting for their son to come down the mountain in front of the open space at home.When Zhong Wen returned home, Zhong Wen knelt down and kowtowed a few times.

There is nothing wrong with a son kneeling down to worship his parents, filial piety is even more respectful, and no one can say anything.

Now, Zhong Wen was about to go down the mountain and leave here, so he could only bow down to represent the family love in his heart, and even more so the guilt in his heart.

"Xiaowen, get up, get up."

Xiu was reluctant to let her son kneel on the ground like this, wiped away tears, and looked at the son in front of her.

Although his son is leaving here now, the reluctance and worry in his heart are all on his face.

Zhong Mugen also wiped his tears and stood by the side, not knowing what to say to his son.

Xiaohua has even become a cat with a painted face.

"Father, Auntie, when I'm not at home, remember that if something happens, you can go to the temple to find the master. I've already made an agreement with the master."

Zhong Wen's eyes also began to shed tears, but with firm eyes, he was telling himself that for this long trip, he must bring some wealth to his family, so as to improve his family's conditions.

His father and mother belonged to farmers, and he also knew that the farming in this field was extremely hard. Although he was the future owner of Longquan Temple, he did not win it by himself after all. It is impossible for his parents to let the money and food in the temple be free in the future. Otherwise, there will always be some gossip.

And if it's his own family background, no one can say anything about how his parents used and squandered it.

"Xiaowen, Mom and Dad have already remembered, you have to be careful along the way, don't have any quarrels with others, and come back as soon as possible."

Xiu said to Zhong Wen while wiping her tears.

"Aniang, I remember, Xiaohua, you must take good care of your parents at home, read more books and practice martial arts every day."

Zhong Wen turned to Xiao Hua on one side, touched Xiao Hua's little head, and said in a low voice.

"Brother, I know, you have to be careful."

Xiao Hua hugged Zhong Wen and responded softly.

Her elder brother was going on a long journey, and she was the only one at home. As for her parents, they must be the most important thing in her heart.

"Daddy, Mommy, Xiaohua, I'm leaving!"

Zhong Wen hugged Xiao Hua for a while, and after letting go, he gave a big gift to Zhong Mugen and his wife, then turned and left.

Zhong Mugen and his wife watched Zhong Wen leave. Tears in the eyes of the three began to blur their vision until Zhong Wen's figure disappeared into the distance.

Zhong Wen didn't dare to turn his head, because he was afraid that turning his head would break the thought of leaving.

Go straight ahead until you reach the hilltop of the path, then turn your head to look in the direction of Longquan Village and Longquan Temple.

"I will definitely be back!"

Big Big Wolf's classic quotations have become the most real thoughts in Zhong Wen's heart at this moment. Similarly, he has a deep nostalgia for everything here.

A suit of plain Taoist clothes, a moderate burden, and a meteorite sword became Zhong Wen's attire.

If someone saw Zhong Wen, they would definitely step aside and shout something like "Hi Taoist" to Zhong Wen.

However, walking from Longquan Temple to the outside, there is a mountain road of nearly fifty miles. Not many people pass this mountain road.

Zhong Wen walked very briskly, leaving Longquan Temple and home, although he was a little bit reluctant in his heart, but he was curious about the outside world, ready to welcome the wonderful world outside.

Although he had just left the mountain, he felt a little reluctant and heavy, but Zhong Wen's stupid mentality changed very quickly.

It is very painful to travel, let alone walking alone.

Zhong Wen planned to go to the Second Village today, rest overnight at his grandmother's house, and leave tomorrow by boat at the south gate of Lizhou City.

As for why he went to Xu's house in the second village, there must be a reason for it.

Although my trip lasted a year, who knows how long it will be, maybe a year, maybe a few years, it's hard to say.

So, this time, I am going to the grandmother's house in the second village to say hello to the only relative, so as to explain some things.

In the evening, Zhong Wen finally came to the Second Village and entered Xu's home.

The hospitality has finally relieved Zhong Wen's suffering.

That night, I chatted with Xu's family and explained some things, and then I went to bed with my cousin Xu Shuangma.

Mrs. Xu felt very sorry for her grandson. Although she is not too young, she can still marry a woman.

But right now she was about to leave, she was worried, but she couldn't do it, so she could only keep silent.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhong Wen bid farewell to his grandmother's family and left for Lizhou City. Xu's family sent it a long way before turning back.

Chen Feng and his Taoists, as well as Zhong Mugen and his family, when they bid farewell to Zhong Wen, there were two ways to see off the Xu family.

The first two were just saying goodbye in front of the house, just because they were afraid of being sad.

As for the farewell of Xu's family, it is because of the kindness in it, so naturally Zhong Wen's farewell is different from the first two.

Speaking of Zhong Wen at this time, humming a little song all the way, he headed for the pier of Lizhou City.

The passersby I met, seeing Zhong Wen's attire, knew at a glance that he was a Taoist priest.

"Hello, Taoist priest, is Taoist priest going to travel in the clouds?"

"Hello, Daoist,..."

Pedestrians along the way will give way to Zhong Wen when they see Zhong Wen, and say hello to Zhong Wen, or greet him respectfully.
