All for the infinite flow of Taoism

The author has something to say: I got stuck in the text yesterday, and added some things after reworking today. The overall plot remains the same, but there are many more details. You can watch it or not, it won’t affect the plot

Sitting in a circle in the simple passenger compartment, the four contemporary socialist successors and materialist successors are feeling a little melancholy at this moment, not to mention that there are two 'traitors' who are particularly unstable in their group...

Cheng Lin: "Actually, it's not that difficult to accept. When I was a child, I often heard stories about those gods and gods told by the older generation, but this is the first time I have personally experienced it. If it weren't for my bad legs and feet now, I would really think about it. Go to worship, burn incense, and ask the Buddhas about my job hunting after graduation, maybe I will be able to enter a big company by then!"

Rolling his eyes, Wang Ziyi was very helpless to this Cheng Lin who lacked common sense and was very silly and sweet. All the gods enshrined here are Taoist gods. How could there be a Buddha?

In the end, it was Li Xiang who kindly reminded the other party, fearing that he would break a taboo, "Fourth, there are god statues in Taoist temples but no Buddha statues, so don't talk nonsense!"

However, after hearing what Cheng Lin wanted to ask for incense, and thinking about the experience he had just swept away from exhaustion, Li Xiang felt that it was necessary for him to go to burn incense later. He didn't think much about it, but when he looked up and saw Yuanshi Tianzun from his perspective, he felt that the expression of the statue was very solemn and compassionate, and he really wanted to express his respect by putting incense on it.

But after communicating with his friends, he feels that this kind of opportunity is extremely rare, and he should seize it and say all his wishes, otherwise he may not be able to find this store after passing this village.

Looking at the thoughtful Li Xiang and the regretful Cheng Lin, both Wang Ziyi and Zhang Chaoyang couldn't accept the world changing so fast. After all, a few hours ago, they still firmly believed that there was no Ghosts are great young men, but now that Taoists have 'stunt skills' and real value, are the gods, ghosts, Buddhas and monsters still far away from them?

They are still children!I really want to find my unwavering, unsuperstitious self~

However, before Wang Ziyi and Zhang Chaoyang could finish reshaping their world view, Shen Ruan entered their room with a few dishes and a bowl of medicine.

Carefully placing three plates of emerald green dishes on the lame table covered with stones, Shen Ruan said: "This is the first time I have entertained guests since I became the temple master, so I specially prepared a sumptuous dish. Food, you are welcome!"

Looking at the three plates of green vegetables and four small bowls of rice (really small bowls), Li Xiang and the others suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the little temple master in front of them.

What kind of daily life makes Shen Ruan feel that this is a hearty meal?Doesn't he really know that a single tile in this view is enough for him to buy a big villa in J City, the capital?Little master... really pitiful...

Out of pity for Shen Ruan, who seemed to have just grown up, the four of them had a rare unification of their inner thoughts, and they all had a tacit understanding without exposing the true face of this "rich" reception, so at this time they are guests and hosts. Happy...until Li Xiang used his extraordinary weight to sit on one of the only healthy stools in the temple...

"Uh...that...I..."

Seeing that although Shen Ruan felt sorry for the collapsed stool, but still resisted to speak, Li Xiang felt very guilty.Even Wang Ziyi, who had always disliked this place and wanted to leave as soon as possible, couldn't bear it at the moment, because Shen Ruan looked really pitiful, and now they felt that they were no different from bullies who bullied elementary school students...

"Little master, how much is this stool, we will compensate you, or we can buy some new ones for you before we go down the mountain!"

Hearing Zhang Chaoyang's proposal, Shen Ruan was actually tempted, but he knew that Li Xiang didn't do it on purpose, and it was because the things in the temple were too old that they would break down immediately. He had no reason to ask them for compensation, so he withdrew his heart Those little greedy ones refused: "No need...you didn't do it on purpose, it's because Guanli is too poor, and things will break after a long time..."

Looking at Shen Ruan who pursed his mouth and stopped talking, but his mood became more and more depressed, Wang Ziyi's cold attitude from the beginning suddenly softened.His family environment has been superior since he was a child, and he has never encountered any troubles, so he was very irritated by the experience of his brothers in the dormitory in danger and living in a dilapidated Taoist temple.

Later, even though he murmured a little about Shen Ruan's ability and the theory of ghosts and gods, he couldn't be sure how good his attitude was.

But now seeing that the eyes of Shen Ruan, who can only be regarded as just past adolescence, suddenly lost light, Wang Zi also felt a little uncomfortable, so he suggested with a hot head: "Little Master, in fact, the four of us are the masters of the university. What you repair is decoration and construction. You are very handy in furniture, doors and windows, and house construction. And this time you not only saved the fourth child, but also provided us with accommodation and food. How about taking local materials from the mountains, making some practical items for you, and repairing the broken things in the temple?"

Hearing that the other party replaced 'compensation' with 'repayment', Shen Ruan felt that this was reasonable after a little thought, because he had indeed saved them, and it made sense for them to want to give themselves and Guanli some repayment, and this Shouldn't it be considered "don't be greedy for others' advantage" that the master once taught him?No matter how I think about myself, it seems that maybe I shouldn't refuse...

Finding that Shen Ruan's eyes became brighter and brighter because of Wang Ziyi's proposal, the four of them knew that the other party really wanted them to do this.

That's right, after using old and dilapidated things for so long, someone suddenly offered to replace them with new ones. Even the most sensible 'children' couldn't resist this temptation.

What's more, the smart Wang Zi has already given this kind of help a reasonable excuse, that is, "repayment and gratitude", so Shen Ruan, who has always been simple-minded, was "embarrassed" after rejecting what he thought was unreasonable "compensation". 'Happily' accepted the 'reward' that 'makes sense', and provided them with all the tools he could provide, such as: a rusty hammer, a limp fine saw, and a wood chopping axe, etc. wait wait wait.

The wound on his foot was covered and Cheng Lin, who had limited mobility, finally became the commander-in-chief of this "repayment" operation, and after he learned that they would make two doors, two sets of tables and chairs, four After a small cabinet, two wooden shelves and other items, he immediately picked up the pen and drew the renderings and dismantling pictures of the actual objects. The posture looked much more serious than when he was doing homework in school...

"Floating doors, lockers, tables, chairs, benches and racks...they are all simple things, but what kind of materials should be used? The overall arrangement in this Taoist temple is old and dark-colored sunken wood. If we Using new wood from the mountains as raw materials, I'm afraid the color will be ugly and abrupt!"

Hearing Zhang Chaoyang's doubts, Li Xiang gave a solution, "There is lacquered palm wood on this mountain. Such a good material is placed here. The problem you mentioned has long since ceased to be a problem."

Zhang Chaoyang opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Paint brown? Where? Why didn't I see it? This wood is deep and simple in color and has a protective layer of gum. It is very popular in the antique furniture repair market! There is it on Kanyu Mountain? You see How many have arrived?"

After confirming that Zhang Chaoyang and Cheng Lin had bad eyesight, Wang Ziyi took the lead to pick up the ax and prepared to get the materials, "No matter how many there are, it's as if you can bring people to develop it! Have time to think about those who have No, it's better to bring the tree back quickly. It's very fast to make those doors, windows, tables and chairs, but none of us has done it before, so do you still waste your time here? I don't want to wait until the day of the defense, We haven’t gotten these things right yet.”

Picking up the tools on the ground, three college students from prestigious schools with no injuries to their legs and feet began to fight against the paint palm trees in the mountains.

But no matter how difficult it was to cut down the trees, after three days full of sawdust and blazing heat, they still installed the two floating doors that looked very simple but had exquisite connotations outside Shen Ruan's house, and completed the tables and chairs. , cabinet shelving and even window repair.

Standing in the courtyard and looking at Yiqingguan, which is still simple but has nothing to do with dilapidation on the whole, Cheng Lin, Li Xiang...the four of them are full of pride.

They, rounded up, are also architecture students who have participated in the restoration of monuments!Really... who can believe it?

"Have you packed your things?"

Pushing open the completely new door outside her house, Shen Ruan looked at the four 'pilgrims' standing in the courtyard and felt very grateful.

He knew that although he said these days that the reception in Guanli was very rich, he was neither stupid nor poor and had never eaten good food. In order to save Yiqing Guan's face, he can only brazenly say that the only small green vegetables and small mountain vegetables in the temple are hearty dishes.

Seeing these people who couldn't say anything on their faces, but still desperately cooperating with her, Shen Ruan felt warm in her heart.

Although they have eaten up all the remaining food in the temple these days, I still feel very grateful, because they have brought me a glimmer of hope to revive the Taoist temple and live a good life. They have given him motivation and vitality.Moreover, because of their frequent incense offerings in the past few days, the expressions of the statues of the Sanqing gods and the patriarchs in the temple look softer.

I helped them at first, but now it seems that he has gained much more than what he paid at the beginning, so Shen Ruan decided to personally send them down the mountain until he knew they were safe.

Enmmm... By the way, when I go down the mountain, I will go to the master's place to grab some food, after all, Guanli is really out of ammunition and food...
