Chapter 1980 The Sufferings of 7 Yangguan

Although Xiao Hua had already greeted Dao Shan and others outside Qiyang Temple just now, Xiao Hua still bowed again according to the so-called Taoist etiquette. After the ceremony was over, the smile on Dao Shan's face became even brighter. He walked to the confession and placed the jade plate on the confession. Then, he picked up three long incense sticks from the top and said to Xiao Hua with a smile: " Senior Xiao, please offer incense to Dao Ancestor!"

"Okay!" Xiao Hua took it, waved his hand, and a wisp of fire flashed through, and the three sticks of incense were immediately lit, which saw a strange look in the eyes of a dozen disciples nearby.

After Xiao Hua respectfully inserted the incense candle on the incense burner, Dao Shan was obviously relieved, raised his hand and said: "Thank you, Senior Xiao, please, please come to the side hall to serve tea!"

With that said, the Taoist boys holding flutes and other musical instruments started playing again. Under the leadership of Dao Shan, Xiao Hua walked through a yellow curtain and came to the side hall. There was a yellow futon and several tables. chair. However, before walking to the chair, Dao Shan did not sit down immediately, but closed his eyes slightly, which made Xiao Hua a little puzzled. Looking at Xiao Jian again, he was also confused, but the two of them could only do it and wait. The sound of silk and bamboo floated into the night sky, and Dao Shancai opened his eyes, smiled and raised his hand and said: "Senior, fellow Taoist, please sit down!"

"Fellow Taoist, please!" Xiao Hua smiled and sat down. Then Xiao Jian and Dao Shan both sat down. Liu Yi and Yuan Ya stood obediently behind them. A Taoist boy with fair features held a tray with some paint peeling off in his hands. He hurried over and brought three cups of tea. When the Taoist boy went down, he seemed to have something to say, but seeing that Daoshan's attention was on Xiao Hua, he didn't dare to speak, and called out to an older disciple behind Daoshan. He waved and went down.

The older disciple glanced at Dao Shan who was speaking to Xiao Hua, nodded slightly to Xiao Hua, and walked out quietly. Dao Shan's ears were not very good, so he naturally didn't notice it.

"Senior Xiao, where do you always practice? How many disciples do you have?" Dao Shan asked Xiao Hua to take a sip of tea. Then he asked respectfully.

Xiao Hua took a sip of tea. The tea powder was very bitter and turned the tea a little black. Xiao Hua just touched his lips and felt relieved. He replied with a smile: "Master Haojiao knows that Xiao... used to be overseas. In cultivation, there are no disciples under the sect yet! This Liu Yi is just a servant!"

"Overseas?" Dao Shan's eyes lit up. He asked anxiously, "Is it the East China Sea? The old Taoist wanted to go to the East China Sea when he was young, but now, he still has no chance to see the magnificent East China Sea!"

Xiao Hua smiled and shook his head: "Don't ask about the overseas master! It's far away anyway... Of course, if the master wants to go, just find time to go and see it in the future!"

"Alas. I am old and can no longer walk!" Dao Shan said with a smile. Although it sounded like a lament, there was not much sadness in his tone.

Xiao Hua comforted him: "Master is wrong. Master's good deeds are shining brightly. Heaven's way is fair. We will never let Master give up at such a young age! There are too few people like Master in this world.

Now that the master has met Xiao, it is the opportunity given by Taozu to the master to do good deeds in the Qiyang Temple in the future! "

"Haha, thank you for your kind words, senior!" Dao Shan knew that Xiao Hua had some cultivation, but he couldn't believe what Xiao Hua said, so he just smiled and said, and Xiao Hua was not in a hurry to take out the Rejuvenation Pill. Well, after all, Dao Shan is an ordinary person. Xiao Hua didn't know whether Dao Shan could bear the power of the Rejuvenation Pill. Since he came to Qiyang Temple, he naturally wanted to help the good people of this sect live a long life.

"Gululu..." Xiao Jian was already hungry, but now he was even more hungry after taking a few sips of tea.

"Haha, I forgot!" Dao Shan smiled, turned around and ordered, "Disciple, go get a bowl of porridge for Master Xiao!"

A disciple behind Dao Shan had a troubled look on his face, but he still responded and prepared to go out. At this time, the disciple who had just walked out returned to the door of the hall. Hearing this, he hurriedly walked to Dao Shan and whispered a few words.

"Oh?" Dao Shan frowned, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and then smiled and said to Xiao Jian, "Fellow Daoist Xiao is laughing, the white porridge just given out has been finished. And today is the Ghost Festival, and the old Taoist wants everyone around him to The good Lords ate more and cooked all the food in the temple into porridge. Now there is no food in the Taoist temple. The old Taoist asked his disciples to pick some green vegetables from the vegetable patch in the backyard. Fellow Taoists will cook some and wait until tomorrow morning. How about the seasoned disciple taking the vegetables to the market and buying some grain?"

Xiao Hua heard clearly from the side and said with a smile: "Master, there is no need to be polite, and there is no need to dissuade the benefactors outside the door. Previously, the master was giving porridge, and now it is Xiao's turn to give porridge. Master, please ask his disciples to send Xiao to It’s just a place where you usually store food!”

"Oh? Senior Xiao, this is..." Dao Shan was puzzled, obviously not understanding Taoist magic.

"Senior, Immortal Xiao is a well-known monk in our Taoist sect. He has the ability to turn mountains into soldiers and move mountains and seas! All you have to do is take the Immortal with you!" Xiao Jian said with a smile.

Naturally, Dao Shan would not let his apprentice take Xiao Hua there. After he personally took Xiao Hua to the main hall, he walked through several deserted courtyards and finally arrived in front of a small courtyard. Xiao Hua took a look at the courtyard. Outside the Chaimen on the left, a lot of green vegetables were planted under the moonlight. In the courtyard, there were two Taoist priests with strong hands and feet, washing the iron pots they had just brought back from the Taoist temple.

"In here..." Dao Shan raised his hand and was about to speak, Xiao Hua shook his head and said, "The place inside is too small. Is there a bigger place?"

Dao Shan had no choice but to point to several houses opposite the courtyard and said: "This is where winter vegetables are stored in winter. Now it is empty. Is it possible that the seniors really have some magic to make things out of thin air?"

"Seeing is believing!" Xiao Hua strode to a few houses, shook his hand a few times, and said with a smile, "Master, just see for yourself!"

"Oh?" Dao Shan held a lantern in his hand and walked tremblingly to a room. He looked at the food piled tightly inside and almost shed tears. "It's good, it's good. This winter I Qiyang Guanqian will never starve to death again!”

"Sweat..." Xiao Hua couldn't help but sigh. It was only summer, and Taoist Dao Shan thought of giving porridge in winter. It seemed... this kindness had penetrated into the Taoist's bones!

"Quick, disciples, cook some porridge first, treat Senior Xiao to a meal, and quickly cook the porridge in the big iron pot so that the good masters watching outside can have a hearty meal!" Dao Shan ordered quickly.

Dao Shan's disciples went crazy. They looked at these rooms again and again and confirmed that they were filled with mountains of food. Then they carefully took some to the opposite yard for the Taoist Taoist priests to cook. Everyone looked at Xiao Hua with awe and respect. This was really no different from the immortal in their hearts!

"Alas, Senior Xiao really has amazing skills~" Dao Shan accompanied Xiao Hua back to the side hall and said with emotion, "This is something that this junior could never dream of!"

"What a magical skill!" Xiao Hua waved his hand, "It's just that Xiao has a Qiankun bag on him and carries some food with him!"

Dao Shan really didn't know what the Qiankun Bag was, and he didn't understand until Xiao Jian explained it.

"Wait until tomorrow. Xiao will let you see what a real magical skill is!" Xiao Hua said pretending to be mysterious.

"Okay, junior, we'll wait and see!" Dao Shan didn't know what Xiao Hua was going to do, so he just agreed with a smile.

Xiao Hua looked at the main hall and asked again: "Xiao remembers that there should be a golden body for worship in Taoist temples. Why is the Taoist ancestor of my Taoist sect not here?"

"Alas, senior Taoist knows!" When mentioning this matter, a sad look appeared on Dao Shan's face, "The Tongzhu Kingdom was founded on Confucianism and has always rejected my Taoist sect! There are no Taoist temples in Xiluoling, and there were no Taoist temples a hundred years ago. It was a desolate slope, where all the dirty things in the country were discarded! Later, the master of Taoism came here, bought the desolate slope with silver, and then built the Qiyang Temple here! In this matter, the Qiyang Temple was to be demolished. The Taoist ancestor led several disciples to go on a hunger strike and sit in meditation for ten days. Seeing that my Taoist disciples were determined and would rather sacrifice their lives to keep the Taoist temple, the king was moved and agreed not to demolish it. Qiyang Temple, but it does not allow any golden bodies to be built in the temple! Therefore, the Taoist ancestors placed the spiritual tablets of the predecessors here to worship, and did not build any golden bodies!”

"Belief is in the heart. If you don't believe it, even if you rebuild your golden body... you will still be making a wedding dress for others!" Xiao Hua did not speak, but Xiao Jian said with sadness.

"Yes, if you have faith, the golden body of Taoist ancestors will be everywhere!" Dao Shan nodded, "Later, both the master and the old Taoist knew that the king did not like the Taoist sect, so they kept a low profile and only did good deeds. This is a response in the view. They are all created by the old Taoist disciples, and there is almost no charity in Tongzhu!"

Speaking of this, Dao Shan sighed again: "Even so, Qiyang Temple is still a bit difficult. No one cared about this desolate slope originally, but now there are more people in the country and less land, and it is not far from the palace. The young man actually set his sights on Qiyang Temple again. If it weren’t for the war between Tongzhu State and Jiang State in recent days, Laodao would not be so peaceful here! "

As he said that, a Taoist boy brought several bowls of porridge to Xiao Hua. Naturally, Xiao Hua didn't use it. However, Yuan Ya and Liu Yi drank a few bowls with Xiao Jian. To Xiao Hua's surprise, Dao Shan also entered. Bowl, it turns out that the old Taoist priest who gave out porridge didn't even have enough to eat at night!

After everyone finished eating, Xiao Hua glanced at Liu Yi, turned to Dao Shan and said: "Fellow Taoist, Xiao will place orders at Qiyang Temple tonight! However, Xiao has some things to do and has to go to Mingyuefang, Taoist friend first." Get some rest, Xiao will go visit fellow Taoist again tomorrow morning!"

"Mingyuefang?" Dao Shan frowned after hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Senior, why are you going there? We and other people from outside... shouldn't go there!"
