My Taoist Temple is trending again

A few days later, Feng Zhiguo drove up the mountain to pick up Xu Qingmu.

Song Jue got into the car with Xu Qingmu naturally, and now, the two of them have reached a tacit agreement to act together no matter what.

On the way, Feng Zhiguo briefly introduced the situation of the Meng family to Xu Qingmu.

Meng's mother is an executive of a foreign company, and Meng's father is a construction engineer. Both of them graduated from prestigious schools and belong to high-paid intellectuals.This was supposed to be a good family that everyone envied, but the young couple had a bad temper, were very strict with the children, and often quarreled, so the family atmosphere was not very harmonious.

The child Meng Xiuyuan is not like his parents at all, he has a sweet and soft personality, and he is a cute little boy who makes people hurt.

While talking, he had already arrived at Meng's house.

Meng's mother is not at home for the time being, and Meng's father received them.The child's situation tortured him enough during this time, and his sadness could be seen from his haggard face, but he still maintained restraint, and politely told Xu Qingmu and Song Jue about the child's recent situation.Xu Qingmu didn't exchange pleasantries with him, and went straight to the point, saying that he was going to see Meng Xiuyuan.

Then Father Meng took Xu Qingmu and Song Jue to Meng Xiuyuan's room.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Qingmu saw the little boy lying on the bed.Even though his eyes are closed, he can still feel how cute this child is, his small face is white and tender, and his eyelashes are long and curled.

Xu Qingmu walked to the bedside and probed for Meng Xiuyuan's veins.The child's breathing and pulse were very weak, and his body temperature was also very low. He could not feel the soul at all, which was a very typical departure from the soul.

But compared with the general Lihun, it is a little different.Meng Siyuan had an obvious happy expression on his face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a happy smile could be seen, as if he was experiencing a fantasy and beautiful dream.

"It's indeed Lihun." Xu Qingmu got up and said to Dad Meng, "But this child is very special. After his soul was snatched away by the ghost, he was not harmed, so his body was not damaged either. But now the soul is gone. If he can’t call back, it should be because he is very happy now, so he doesn’t want to come back.”

As soon as Xu Qingmu finished speaking, Father Meng was stunned. He looked at Meng Xiuyuan on the bed, and was about to speak when footsteps and voices came from outside the door, and then someone outside pushed the door open .

It was Meng's mother who had a burning face.And behind her, followed by a young monk.

The monk and Xu Qingmu met their eyes, and they were both a little taken aback.

Father Meng quickly glanced at Xu Qingmu, a little embarrassed, and quickly said to Mother Meng: "Why... why did you come back suddenly? Don't say anything."

Meng's mother glanced at the people in the room, and her eyes fell on Xu Qingmu's Taoist robe. She nodded politely but indifferently at Xu Qingmu and Song Jue, then looked at Meng's father with an uneasy expression and said, "You still ask?" Why did I come back? Didn’t I tell you that I would invite the mage from Lingxing Temple to come over today? You never listened to what I said.”

Father Meng's expression was also very ugly, and he said, "Didn't you say later that Master Nengren would not come out of the mountain? I also told you that Zhiguo hired a Taoist priest for us."

Mother Meng said: "Master Nengren is not free, there are other masters! Master Hui'an is the eldest disciple of Master Nengren, do you know how difficult it is to invite him?"

The young couple couldn't help raising their voices again. If there weren't so many outsiders around, they would probably be arguing like before.

Feng Zhiguo hurriedly walked between the young couple and separated them, persuading him, "It's because I didn't coordinate the time well, so please stop arguing. It's more important to see a doctor for Xiuyuan."

Only then did the young couple stop arguing with sullen faces.

But now, there is a monk and a Taoist priest in the room, and everyone is very embarrassed.

But Xu Qingmu always took these things lightly, waved his hands and said, "I've already seen it, and now there is Master Lao. Everyone is trying to solve the plight of Layman Meng's family. The purpose is the same, and there is no conflict."

Hui An clasped his hands together and said, "It turns out to be Master Xu Xiaodao of Lingyun Temple, sorry for your disrespect."

He knew Xu Qingmu, but Xu Qingmu didn't know him, so he bowed awkwardly.

Hui'an's face darkened slightly, she nodded, and stopped talking.

Xu Qingmu felt that Hui An seemed to be a little resistant to him, and he didn't bother to make trouble with him, so he pulled Song Jue out of the room and waited.

But still couldn't help but whispered to Song Jue: "It's strange, Xuanmen and Buddhism have not interfered with each other since ancient times. Although I offended Xuanmen all over the place, I shouldn't have offended outsiders. Why did Hui An see it? Do you feel unhappy when it comes to me? Do you think I stole his business today?"

Song Jue whispered to Xu Qingmu, "I may know the reason."

Xu Qingmu blinked and waited for his answer.

Song Jue said: "Zhicheng was originally a Buddhist monastery, and Lingxing Temple is well-known throughout the country, and the incense has always been very popular. Nengren, the abbot of Lingxing Temple, is said to have the ability to reach the sky, and it is not easy to come out of the mountain. However, before I asked He looked at my legs."

Xu Qingmu said: "Have you invited me?"

Song Jue replied: "Please come, and spent a lot of merit money. He said that my poor leg medicine may be a problem with the soul, but he didn't give a solution."

Even Song Jue felt that only "a lot" of merit could invite Kinetic Ren, and it seemed that this sorcerer was really powerful.

Song Jue continued: "But after Lingyun Guanhu, the number of believers who go to Lingxing Temple to offer incense has decreased a lot. Many believers who want to practice rituals also have the choice of Lingyun Temple, and they no longer just choose as before. Lingxing Temple."

Xu Qingmu wanted to laugh a little.

He knows that the beliefs of Chinese people have been very complicated since ancient times. Most people do not simply believe in a certain sect, but maintain a very practical and practical belief concept: whether it is a temple or a temple, you can see it when you encounter it. Worship, whether it is a god or a Buddha, believe it if it works.

It's like the young couple of the Meng family. Normally, they don't believe in either the Buddha or the Tao. Now they really have no choice but to try both.

Therefore, Xu Qingmu thought that he was just offending someone from the Taoist sect, but unexpectedly, he danced out of the circle, and indeed robbed the business of Lingxing Temple.

But Xu Qingmu didn't think it was an offense.

While the two were talking, there was another commotion in the room. The two pushed open the door and went in to have a look. Sure enough, the young couple started arguing again.

Meng's mother sat by the bed, wiped her tears and said, "It's your fault! Why are you beating him up all day long! He's not a soul. He couldn't stay in this house, so he ran away!"

Father Meng also said angrily: "You are right? You force him to go to so many cram schools a day for such a small child, can he bear it! He doesn't want to come back, he just doesn't want to go to cram schools!"

Feng Zhiguo reluctantly stepped forward to pull the two of them away, and said loudly: "What time are you still arguing! Since you know that Xiu Yuan left the soul on his own initiative, you all have to reflect on yourself. The most important thing now is to get the child back."

The young couple calmed down and stopped talking.

Hui'an said: "The current situation is a bit complicated. I reckon that he went to the so-called 'friend' place, which must be in the restricted area of ​​Bixi Valley. If you call the soul like this, you won't be able to come back. You have to hurry up and go there." Go to Bixi Valley, catch that ghost, and bring back the soul of the little benefactor."

Father Meng quickly asked, "Will that be dangerous?"

Xu Qingmu immediately shook his head, wanting to say it was not dangerous.Hui'an is still reliable, his judgment is exactly the same as Xu Qingmu's.Xu Qingmu thought, since Hui'an can do it, he might as well not compete with him for business, it would be good to go back to sleep.

But before Xu Qingmu opened his mouth, Hui An took the first step and said: "It's not dangerous. The monks are compassionate, and naturally they will do everything possible to help the little benefactor return to his soul. We have actually done many such rituals in Lingxing Temple, and we are very experienced. .Although the master may not have time, I will arrange for all the disciples in the temple to cast spells together, and find the little benefactor as soon as possible. The two benefactors can rest assured and leave it to me."

Speaking of which, Hui'an glanced at Xu Qingmu's direction again, and said, "Oh, by the way, if the little Daoist wants to help from the side, that's fine too."

What does this mean?Is Xu Qingmu an onion for buying vegetables?

Xu Qingmu and Song Jue looked at each other, wanting to laugh.Monk, is it really good that you are so competitive?

Afterwards, Hui An folded his hands together and stopped talking. He continued to look at Xu Qingmu with a distant look, which was more provocative than the many disdainful looks Xu Qingmu had seen before.

So Xu Qingmu's rebellious heart was aroused again, and the sentence "Then I will trouble you" was swallowed. Xu Qingmu folded his arms and said deliberately, "You are too troublesome, The whole temple has to be dispatched. In fact, I can find people back by myself, or you don’t go, then a large number of people will not only need the bus fare but also the entrance fee of the scenic spot, which is expensive.”

Huian: ...

The atmosphere was stiff for a few seconds, and it was still the good old Feng Zhiguo who came out to smooth things over. Both sides comforted him and said, "It's best for everyone to work together to find Xiuyuan quickly, isn't it?"

Song Jue smiled slightly and said, "This is just a simple incident, and there is no need for cooperation."

Huian: ...

The aloofness of the monks can't be maintained anymore.

Hui'an took a breath, calmed down his emotions, then looked at Xu Qingmu and Song Jue, and then saluted the two with a slight smell of gunpowder, and the two returned the salute, and then followed each other one by one. Say goodbye to the young couple of the Meng family.

Although they didn't say it clearly, they are indeed competing secretly now, and it is also a rivalry between Lingyun Temple and Lingxing Temple.The person who failed to find Meng Xiuyuan's soul first did not only lose face.

Xu Qingmu and Song Jue soon returned to Lingyun Temple.

On the way, they discussed it, and it was true that they had to go to Bixi Valley. Before leaving, they had to arrange the daily life of Lingyun Temple.

That night, a dozen little Taoist priests, a ghost and a fox lined up in a neat row, obediently listening to Xu Qingmu's words.

Bai Meimei can speak a lot now, so Xu Qingmu arranged for He Xingchu to teach him early childhood education, and he had to find time every day to learn how to read.With the husky company, he is happy.The child has grown up, and he is not as clingy as before, and he is on the point of dying when he is separated from Xu Qingmu and Song Jue.

As for the husky, he has to listen to scriptures and practice every day, and play with Bai Meimei in his spare time. After a while, the evil spirit on him has dissipated a lot.

Everything in Lingyun Temple was in order, Xu Qingmu was very relieved, so early the next morning, Xu Qingmu and Song Jue went down the mountain together to Bixi Valley.
