The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

After hearing this, Yang Heng's face became a little gloomy. To be honest, he has been living in the shadow of his parents since he was a child.

Looking at Yang Heng's unpromising appearance, Yang Kang felt a little bit resentful.

"Okay, I'll go home with you in a while, and I'll talk to the two old people."

Yang Heng immediately smiled when he heard Yang Kang's big deal.

"That's it. It's settled. When you go back later, you can say, if you want to talk about my parents, they treat you better than me. They usually listen to what you say."

In this way, the two brothers ate breakfast in a hurry, and then Yang Kang drove Yang Heng back home.

As soon as the two entered the door, they ran into Yang Heng's mother first.

When this Ms. Wang Guilan saw her son coming back, her eyes lit up first, then her face darkened, and she threw the basin on the ground.

"Do you still know how to come back? If you have the ability, you should never enter this house."

When Yang Heng saw his mother get angry, he immediately turned into a sheep and hid behind Yang Kang, not daring to say a word.

It was still Yang Kang who had the ability, and hurried forward to support the old man and began to smile with him. As a result, after a few words, he immediately turned what the old man said into a smile.

Only then did Yang Heng follow the two of them into the house.

At noon, Yang Heng's father, Mr. Yang, entered the house. When he saw Yang Heng, his nose was not his nose, his face was not his face.

However, with Yang Kang in the middle, the scene finally did not get out of control.

After eating at noon, Yang Kang told the two old people about introducing himself to Yang Heng to become a Taoist priest.

As a result, the imagined storm did not come.

Yang Hongwei, Yang Heng's old father, after listening to Yang Kang's suggestion, thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed a solution.

Others don't know their son, but Yang Hongwei, as a father, knows Yang Heng's character clearly.

It can be said that Yang Heng was raised and disabled by the two of them, and he couldn't stand beatings in society at all. It's better to let him be a fake Taoist priest and live his life in peace.

In this way, what Yang Heng and Yang Kang thought was the most difficult stage was passed so easily.

For the next period of time, Yang Heng stayed at home obediently.

And mother Wang Guifang is not as strict with Yang Kang as before.

The son will soon go out to work, and the time spent at home will be shorter. As a mother, Wang Guifang looks tough on the surface, but in fact she is still a little nervous.

A few days later, at the appointed time, Yang Kang personally drove to pick up Yang Heng.

Yang Heng took a pile of luggage and reluctantly left the house with his parents sending him off.

Yang Kang drove Yang Heng in the car, left the urban area, and headed for the suburbs.

After driving for about an hour, I finally came to a small mountain.

There is no longer a road to go up the mountain here, Yang Kang and Yang Heng can only stop the car and go up the mountain on foot.

Yang Heng followed Yang Kang up the mountain while looking at it. Although the hill was not high, it was densely covered with dense forests and bamboos.

On the mountain pass, people come and go.

It seems that there are indeed quite a few people who go up the mountain to pray to the gods, no wonder there is a recruitment here.

When the two of them came to the top of the mountain, they saw a large Taoist temple here.

The Taoist temple is surrounded by cigarettes, and the believers shuttle back and forth.

In front of the mountain gate, there are many small merchants selling souvenirs.

It turned out that Yang Heng thought that the Taoist temple he was in would be very deserted, but he didn't expect it to be so lively here.

Yang Kang brought Yang Heng to the front of the mountain gate, greeted a Taoist priest outside the mountain gate, and then walked in with ease.

They entered the front yard of the Taoist temple, but did not enter the main hall, but passed through a corner door next to the main hall to the back yard.

After that, turn around three times and come to the abbot's room of this Taoist temple.

Now when people say abbot, they think it should be a Buddhist term, but in fact it is not the same thing at all.

It is said in the Daoist scriptures: "The abbot is the master of human and heaven, the master of saving the world, performing the righteous method of Longmen, supporting the merciful navigation of the sea of ​​suffering, as a model of perfection, and the program of the Law School. Without a teacher of the Tao, one cannot stand."

The Quanzhen School of Taoism extended the connotation of the word abbot: "A person who has no distracting thoughts within a square meter is a superior person."

Therefore, in the Quanzhen School of Taoism, the Taoist head of Zhengyi is also called "abbot".

When he came to the door, Yang Kang knocked on the door and shouted to the inside: "Cousin, is anyone there?"

Following Yang Kang's call to the door, there was a reply from inside: "Come in."

Then Yang Kang pushed the door open, and I took Yang Heng into the abbot's room.

After Yang Heng came in, he didn't dare to move around, he just raised his head and took a quick look around the abbot's room, then took his luggage and stood obediently behind Yang Kang.

At this time, on the kang in the abbot's room, sat an old Taoist priest in his 60s and [-]s. He looked rosy, but his stomach was a little fat.

This Yang Kang entered the abbot's room and didn't see him. He sat on the kang and said to the old Taoist priest, "Cousin, this is my good friend Yang Heng. I brought it to you. You can give it to him." Arrange a better errand."

The old Taoist raised his head and gave Yang Heng a bright look, then thought for a while before saying: "We have all the Taoists in the Sanqing Temple, and there is no room for other people here."

Yang Kang became a little anxious when he heard this, "Cousin, that's not what you told me a few days ago."

"Why are you in a hurry? Wait until I finish talking."

The old Taoist stroked his beard and continued: "Although we have no more people here, there is a small Taoist temple, but there is a lack of a host. Why don't you let your friend go there to be the host."

Standing there, Yang Heng burst into smiles when he heard that he had directly leapt over the ordinary Taoist priests and ascended to the high position of host.

But Yang Kang is not so easy to fool. He also rolled around in the mall for a while, knowing that there is no good thing in the sky.

"Cousin, what's going on? We're all on our own, tell me the truth."

After the old Taoist heard this, he could only smile wryly: "Originally, we were short of a visitor to the Buddhist scripture building, but the host of the small Taoist temple came to our temple two days ago, so he didn't stay there anymore." I can't help it either, after all, I've been an old man for so many years, so I can only give this to him first."

"Isn't the host of the Taoist temple very good? Why did he leave his good job and insist on coming back to be a librarian?"

Yang Kang just asked the doubts in Yang Heng's heart.

"Hey, I went to that Taoist temple a few years ago. Apart from the small size, the other facilities are also very complete. The only disadvantage is that it is relatively remote. Few people go there a year, let alone incense."

"Since this is the case, why not just discard it?"

"What are you talking about? I don't feel sorry for selling my father's land. Although this small Taoist temple is small, it is indeed the place where the ancestors of our sect stayed when they first became monks. No matter how ineffective I am, I can't let this Taoist temple be destroyed."

Yang Kang has nothing to do now, who made him come a step late, so he can only fight for some benefits for Yang Heng.

"My friend went there as a host, the salary should be higher, right?"

"That's natural. If you become a host there, you will naturally get a lot of preferential treatment."

The old Taoist stopped for a moment, as if hesitating for something?Finally, he said: "Well, let your friend go to that small Taoist temple to be the host, and I will accept him as a disciple and award the "Taishang Sanwudu Gong Jinglu". As for the salary, there is no oil and water there, so I will send it to him directly." 7000 yuan."

Yang Kang nodded in satisfaction when he heard this, but Yang Heng who was standing aside had no idea what this meant.

Don't talk about money, just talk about this conferment, which is not something you can get as soon as you become a Taoist priest.

In Taoism, granting a talisman means that this person has officially become a mage, and can contact the gods and gods by himself.

As for contacting or not contacting the gods, it depends on one's own skill and the relationship with the gods.

If the god you contact has a close relationship with your sect, for example, the patriarch of your sect, then it will be easy to contact, and when casting spells, the success rate may be high.

If you contact a fairy you don't know, they may not even talk to you.

It's as if you call a stranger's house, and when the person sees that the call is an unfamiliar number, they hang up on you immediately.

But at any rate, once the talisman is conferred, you will have this phone, and you can call others.

After discussing it well, Yang Heng lived in Sanqing Temple temporarily with peace of mind.

Since the ceremony of bestowing the talisman to Yang Heng will be performed in a few days, Yang Heng has to write down all the rituals in the next few days.

In addition, he has to read all the scriptures, scriptures and Taoism books temporarily, so that when people ask him, he doesn't know anything.

But this is just a formality. Once Yang Heng finishes conferring the talisman and goes to that small Taoist temple to be the host, the Emperor Tiangao will be far away from him.

Chapter 003 Transcended

One morning three days later, Yang Heng came to the main hall under the envious eyes of the little Taoist priest, wearing a brand-new Taoist robe and crown.

Next, Yang Heng carried out a set of extremely complicated procedures at the mercy of these Taoist priests.

We won't go into details here, otherwise many readers will say that I have too many words.

Anyway, let's just put it this way, after the ceremony, Yang Heng worshiped Qingxu, the old abbot of Sanqing Temple, as his teacher.

The old abbot also gave him a dharma name: Xitan.

Anyway, to Yang Heng, a Taoist priest who just started, he didn't know what it meant.

At the end of the ceremony, the old abbot gave Yang Heng a bronze seal, which was Yang Heng's official seal.

After Yang Heng went through this conferring ceremony, he could be regarded as a well-known official in the heavenly world.

Yang Heng's official official name is: Taiji Zuogong Zhangxian Official Shangqing Siming Signing Letter Lei Tingdu Sishi.

According to the official regulations of the Taoist Tiangong, this is a seventh-rank official.

Perhaps the old abbot was looking at Yang Kang's face, directly passed the Cong Qi Rank, and gave Yang Heng a Zheng Qi Rank.

After all these actions were over, Yang Heng left his bank card number, and took the certification documents given by the old abbot, and went to the county seat more than 100 kilometers away.

Yang Heng took the bus along the way, and the guests and staff on the bus were very respectful to Yang Heng, a new Taoist priest.

When Yang Heng arrived at the place and got off the car, the owner who followed the car didn't accept Yang Heng's money, and even patted his chest in front of Yang Heng to promise that if Daoist Xitan went to the city in the future and reported his name, all There is no charge for long-distance buses.

Yang Heng was also very grateful, and repeatedly told the bus owner that if he needed anything in the future, he would go directly to his small Taoist temple, and he would do his best to help.

Yang Heng bid farewell to the owner of the car, turned around, and entered the village along the country road.

Yang Heng thought that the small Taoist temple was in this village, but he searched around the village, but he didn't see half of the Taoist temple.

In the end, Yang Heng had no choice but to find the village committee and ask the village party secretary there to find out the situation.

The village party secretary heard that Yang Heng was here to take over the small Taoist temple, so he looked Yang Heng up and down.

To say that Yang Heng looks really honest, coupled with his Taoist robe, makes people feel at ease at first glance.

"Master Dao, the small Taoist temple you are looking for has been closed for nearly a month, and you still need to go through some procedures if you want to accept it."

After hearing this, Yang Heng quickly took out the letter from his pocket, the letter of introduction from his master Qingxu, and then the document from the Religious Office, and handed it to the old branch secretary respectfully.

"Old branch secretary, here is the letter of introduction written by my master, as well as the official documents. You can see if it works."

The old branch secretary opened the result file, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You are Qingxu's apprentice!"

"Yes."

"In this way, we are still on our own. Qingxu was born in the small Taoist temple behind the mountain back then, and we have known each other for decades."

Then there is no need to go through any formalities, the old branch secretary personally took Yang Heng to the back mountain.

The old branch secretary introduced the situation of the village and the Taoist temple to Yang Heng as he walked.

"Our village is called Xujiabao. In the past, most people had the surname Xu, but after the turmoil and fleeing, now only half of the people have the surname Xu."

"As for the small Taoist temple at the back, it is said that it has existed for 1000 years. I don't know if it is true or not. Anyway, everyone says so."

Yang Heng echoed the old party secretary and followed him up the mountain.

When we got halfway up the mountain, we finally saw a small Taoist temple.

When the two came to the gate of this small Taoist temple, Yang Heng looked outside.

Although this small Taoist temple is not big, it is not dilapidated. It seems that it has just been repaired.

When the old branch secretary saw the place, he took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Yang Heng.

"This is the key that the last host gave me when he left. That's fine, I won't go in."

After the old branch secretary finished speaking, he waved his hand to Yang Heng, and staggered down the mountain with his hands behind his back.

But Yang Heng held the key in his hand, but was panting heavily.

The distance along the way was not short, and the mountain climbing made him very tired.

But looking at the old branch secretary's indifferent attitude, Yang Heng suddenly had doubts about his physical condition.
