Chapter 238 If the Rebels Make Progress

On the Double Ninth Festival in September, the wind was light and the clouds were light, and there was no cloud in the sky.

This year, more people came to Qingping Temple to pray for longevity than in previous years, because the temple had posted notices early to inform believers that the new golden ancestor would be consecrated today. After the fasting ceremony, the temple would give out medicinal tea and Medicinal porridge is a good thing to prevent cold and strengthen the body.

In addition, the Taoist temple has also prepared some medicine packs to strengthen the body. As long as you add two cents of sesame oil, you can ask for it to be worn by the elderly. This can also be regarded as inheriting the custom of respecting the elderly during the Double Ninth Festival.

Therefore, believers have already started climbing as soon as it gets dark. First of all, they want to climb high to pray. After all, they will return to their true nature and start a new life. Climbing the mountain is something they should do every year.

This time around, Qingpingguan is hosting another grand event. After visiting, it would be great to drink a bowl of medicinal tea and porridge to pray for good intentions in getting rid of all kinds of diseases.

There are two roads to the main hall of Qingpingguan. One is a flat road for carriages to go to the front gate of the temple, and the other is a bluestone step built from the bottom of the mountain directly to the small square in front of the main hall.

The bluestone steps were repaired by Guanli at their own expense over many years. They are wide and flat and can accommodate four people parallel to each other. There are also solid wood railings on both sides of the steps so that people can rest on the railings when they are tired from walking.

This step is also called the Road to Immortality.

Why, because the bluestone is not an ordinary bluestone. Taoist runes are engraved on the stone with cinnabar. Walking in it is equivalent to being baptized by the runes and attaining Taoism and immortality.

Therefore, although there is a carriage path, many people still prefer to take this road to immortality. Mortals are all looking forward to a healthy and long life. Even if it is a gimmick, they are willing to accept it.

Halfway up the road to immortality, another observation deck was built. Because the scenery in this area is very good and it is the Double Ninth Festival, many literati went to the observation deck early in the morning to enjoy the autumn. When they were interested, they recited poems and chanted poems loudly. The scenery has attracted the yearning and envy of some ordinary people.

All things are inferior, but those who are good at reading will always be respected by others.

The foot of the mountain is lively, with vendors selling snacks, incense and candles, and mountain goods everywhere, and the same is true in the temple.

It is a big event for the Patriarch to change into a golden body and be consecrated. It is also the Double Ninth Festival. The lights of Qingping Temple have been turned on since midnight. Herbal tea and porridge were served early. Even the air is filled with a faint scent of medicine, which makes people feel energetic.

These are all prescriptions prepared by Qin Liuxi. The medicinal materials used are all able to dispel cold, timidity and dryness, and can be taken by anyone with or without illness.

The kitchen was helped by cooks who had been in the temple for many years and some enthusiastic believers. At the rest of the temple gates and courtyards, the Taoist priests in the temple were all swaying around with brooms early in the morning.

Chi Yuan Lao Dao looked at the busy appearance in the temple, stroking his beard with great satisfaction, and his eyes were extremely pleased.

It has been many years since Qingping Temple was so lively before Xuanmen fell into silence. Ten years after it was reopened, this is the first time that there is such excitement and grand events.

It will be more lively in the future.

Suppose a traitor makes a little progress.

Chi Yuan Lao Dao glanced at someone who was yawning and pretending to be careless. He tore off a beard and said, "Today is a big event for the Grandmaster to change into a golden body. You can't be more serious. You are Qingping after all." The few who watch watch the Lord.”

Qin Liuxi's eyelids twitched and he asked, "Who is the young master?"

"You." Old Taoist Chi Yuan pointed at her: "You are my master's number one disciple. In the future, when my master ascends, Qingping Temple cannot be handed over to you. I have decided to take advantage of today's law to announce it to the believers. . You, Taoist name Buqiu, are a disciple of the Normal University and the young master of Qingping Temple."

As he spoke, he walked over, put his hand on her shoulder, and said in a slightly heavy voice: "Disciple, there is a long way to go. You have to strive for success in the future."

Qin Liuxi gently pushed his hand away, showed a smile, and then suppressed it: "You are dreaming!" She pointed at the Taoist temple: "Look, this small Taoist temple needs a young temple master to see everything at a glance It’s over. Why are you drawing such a big cake for me, and if you don’t add some meat to the cake, it’s going to be eaten?”

"Qingping Temple used to be a popular place for believers. Now that you have become my disciple, you will naturally have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring its former glory. Well, I have decided happily, and I will not accept any sophistry. I will go to the main hall to see you. Come here and iron your robe quickly, don't miss the right moment." After saying this, the old Taoist Chi Yuan ran away quickly, fearing that Qin Liuxi would be furious on the spot.

Qin Liuxi chuckled, shook his head and sighed.

This old man is so.

"Do not seek."

Qin Liuxi was about to go back to the house when she heard a call. She turned her head and saw Yu Changkong wearing a moon-white robe, with her hair tied into a bun with a green jade hairpin, like a beautiful woman.

She raised her hands to Yu Changkong and saluted: "I usually see you wearing black, but I never thought that the white moonlight would make you look even more beautiful. You really look like a beautiful woman."

The light blue robe has sleeves, collar and hem embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. There is a silver belt around the waist and a mutton-fat white jade pendant hanging on it. It is very noble.

Yu Changkong also bowed his hands and saluted her, saying: "I am participating in the law today, so naturally I have to be more respectful."

"You came so early, there is still some time before the law code." Qin Liuxi said: "Have you had breakfast? Did you ask the Taoist boy to get you some medicinal porridge and steamed buns?"

Yu Changkong said: "I came here earlier. I also want to add some sesame oil to my parents' ever-burning lamp and put some incense sticks on it."

"That's right, today is also the Double Ninth Festival." Qin Liuxi said with a smile: "How about you do it yourself? I still have to iron the Taoist robe, otherwise my master will have to chant sutras in his ears and say that I disrespect the ancestor."

"Okay." Yu Changkong nodded with a smile.

Qin Liuxi then entered the house with his hands behind his back.

Yu Changkong also turned around and went to the main hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Taoist Priest Chi Yuan. He quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute: "Master Chi Yuan."

The Taoist priest Chi Yuan returned the greeting with a smile. When he saw him, a strange color flashed in his eyes and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Master Yu."

"Your eyes have not been deceived."

The Taoist priest Chi Yuan smiled even more and said, "The golden statue of the ancestor you donated made this grand event happen in the temple today. The ancestor will definitely notify the Taoist priest to recognize people. Master Yu is going on a long journey soon?"

Yu Changkong was stunned for a moment and said, "My grandfather is ill at home. I plan to return to my clan tomorrow to show my filial piety."

The Taoist priest Chi Yuan nodded, "In this case, it will be smoother for Master Yu to take the waterway."

Yu Changkong's eyes darkened, he restrained his expression, and said, "Thank you for the advice from the master of the temple."

The Taoist priest Chi Yuan smiled and took some lamp oil and handed it to him, "Add oil to your parents' ever-burning lamp."

Yu Changkong took it with both hands, nodded and saluted. Just as he was about to leave, the Taoist priest Chi Yuan said another sentence.

"Master, there is light in your eyes. Can it reach your heart?"

Yu Changkong restrained his expression and said nothing.

"Karma has its own retribution. Young Master, since you are a believer of my Qingping Temple, you should remember this." Taoist Chi Yuan looked up at the old statue of the ancestor and said, "Heaven has no relatives, but always favors the good."

"Yes." Yu Changkong bowed deeply.

Taoist Chi Yuan waved his hand, watched him turn around and walk to the long-burning lamp to add oil, light the wick, and move his eyes away.

If the light reaches, it is clear and bright, if it does not reach, it is not bright.

Yu Changkong is the one who stands at the center of good and evil.
