Chapter 222 This is the most mysterious way of cultivation
The most mysterious?
This name is a bit ostentatious. Which of the gods living in the temple can be regarded as the most mysterious?
Xu Heng and Lou Guandao looked at each other, and then he took the lead and entered the most mysterious view.
After passing through the Three Realms Huabiao, the most mysterious general appearance is in front of you. The territory is wide, the ancient trees are verdant, the main hall is magnificent, the turtles and snakes coil up the pillars, the bluestone pavement extends to the side halls and bell towers on both sides...
In front of the main hall, there is a three-foot-long bronze tripod with a pillar of incense burning. The smoke is endless, making the view look solemn and solemn.
However, in such a large Taoist temple, it was silent at the moment.
This is a secluded fairy mountain. It is normal that there are no pilgrims or believers. However, there are no people chanting sutras, practicing mysticism, or sitting down to practice. Even the fallen leaves on the ground are not swept away.
Xu Heng couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother, did Master Ge have any instructions for you to come here to deliver the letter?"
Lou Guandao replied: "Master only said that when you arrive at the realm, just give the letter to the master of the temple, but there is no other explanation."
The two of them felt even more confused, so they had no choice but to walk towards the temple. Finally they saw a figure, but it was a yellow-robed Taoist priest. He was lying lazily in the pavilion, with an open Taoist book covering his face. He seemed to be sleeping properly. intoxicated.
Lou Guandao thought for a while, then walked closer and cleared his throat softly, but he didn't get any response.
Lou Guandao had no choice but to lean down and call out: "Brother Taoist, Brother Taoist? Please wake up..."
"Hey." The Taoist was obviously not unaware of the approach of the two of them. He took the Taoist book with a sigh, showed an ordinary face, and said: "You are so ignorant of things."
"I don't see the poor Taoist practicing, why do you have to disturb him?"
After the Taoist finished speaking, he actually stretched his waist and let out a long yawn, but it really didn't look like he was practicing.
But Taoist Lou Guan had no choice but to respond apologetically: "I don't mean to disturb you, but since I entered the temple, no one has come to talk to me, and I can't see anyone else, so I have no choice but to ask Taoist brother shamelessly."
The Taoist said lazily: "Everyone in the temple is busy practicing, who has time to talk to you?"
Lou Guandao frowned and said, "I am a poor Taoist who is ordered by my master to send a letter to the master of your temple. Is this how you treat me?"
"Well, are you here to deliver a message?" The Taoist scratched his head and then said: "No one has visited the temple for a long time, so there is no Taoist to greet the guests... I think it is a bit neglectful."
Lou Guandao had no intention of getting involved in this matter, so he said, "Brother Taoist, please give me some guidance."
"This..." The Taoist thought for a while, but didn't seem to know where to start. He sighed helplessly and finally said: "That's all, I will take you to see the master."
The Taoist closed the Taoist book and stuffed it casually into his pocket. Then he got off the chair and said, "Come with me."
After that, he didn't go to the main road, but took the two of them directly across the lawn and took a shortcut.
Xu Heng listened and followed quietly, feeling a little strange in his heart. This Taoist's words and deeds, whether he said they were casual or lazy, were really very different from ordinary practitioners.
I don’t know if this person is special, or if this is just the way it is in the most mysterious world?
Thinking back on what he had seen since entering the mountain, Xu Heng had some guesses in his mind.
The Taoist did not follow the road at all. He stepped across the lawn, led the two of them over the railing, walked straight through the square in front of a side hall, and then turned left and right in the temple.
On the way, Xu Heng finally met the other monks in the most mysterious temple for the first time, but he was an unkempt Taoist who secretly roasted and ate spiritual birds in the forest.
Lou Guan Dao couldn't help but ask: "Are all the monks in Gui Guan so... relaxed and willful?"
"It's true." The Taoist shrugged and said, "Eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are tired. This is the most mysterious way to practice. People in the world don't believe it, but they look for gods from outside themselves." "This is the master's teaching, and everyone who watches it is without exception. "Follow it."
Lou Guandao was greatly surprised when he heard this, and Xu Heng was also slightly startled.
The Taoist didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two men, and just led the way. After two or three moments, he finally stopped in front of a secluded courtyard.
After arriving here, the Taoist finally became more serious, but he was still not too solemn. He just stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door, and waited quietly for a while before hearing a creak.
The wooden door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing plain clothes walked out. He was a little surprised when he saw the three people, so he asked the Taoist: "Yan Qing, what is this?"
Taoist Yan Qing said: "It turns out that Senior Brother is here, so it's just right."
He turned slightly and said, "These two people are here to deliver a message to Master."
These words summarized Xu Heng, but Lou Guandao didn't pay attention. He just took half a step forward and said politely: "Zhu Mingguan's disciple Lou Guandao came to deliver a letter in the name of my master."
"Sending a letter?" The middle-aged man glanced at the two of them and replied thoughtfully, "Just give me the letter."
Without much hesitation, Lou Guandao took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
The middle-aged man took the letter, nodded slightly, put it into his sleeve, and said, "Master has been asleep for half a year, and there is no sign of waking up yet."
"When the old man wakes up, I will definitely hand over the letter."
"This..." Lou Guandao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, his mentor did not order him to bring back a reply, so he had no choice but to agree and resign.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man accepted the letter and then ordered to Taoist Yan Qing: "Yan Qing, you will take the two of you to Yueqing Hall later."
Taoist Yanqing was obviously a little surprised, but with his temperament, he would not ask any more questions, so he nodded and accepted.
On the other hand, Lou Guandao was a little confused and asked, "I wonder if I want to take the palace?"
"Bo Guan asked to take it, so that's where the book collection is." The middle-aged man said, "Master gave me the instructions before he fell asleep."
"If someone comes to visit, please invite the visitor to Yueqi Hall and find a Taoist book that you like before going down the mountain."
Xu Heng was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to accompany the group, but he was able to get involved in Yuanfa. Lou Guandao's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't help but ask: "If I want to find a Taoist book, are there no other restrictions?"
"This is natural." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, and then ordered to Taoist Yanqing: "Yanqing, why don't you take the guests to the appointment hall quickly?"
Taoist Yanqing nodded casually and turned around. Xu Heng and the other two bowed and thanked the middle-aged man, and then hurriedly followed him.
Without thinking, he turned out of this secluded area. Taoist Yanqing suddenly stopped, pointed toward the distance, and asked, "Have you seen that hall?"
Xu Heng and the other two looked around and saw a palace standing out from the scattered eaves of the wall, with double eaves and corners, shrouded in clouds and mist.
"Then it's the Yuezu Hall." Taoist Yanqing said: "The Yuezu Hall is unattended. You two can just go and pick out Taoist books. I won't accompany you as a Taoist."
After saying that, he really changed his direction and went out in a big way.
Seeing this, Xu Heng and the two couldn't help but look at each other. They felt that this practitioner of the most mysterious view was really unruly.
However, the two of them didn't want to talk much at this time, so they headed towards the Yuezuo Hall.
