Huang Ting

Quickly grabbing Feng Baobao, Zhang Chulan did not dare to let her out of his sight, and handed the ticket in Feng Baobao's hand to the security guard for manual inspection.

There is a gate in the doorway under the archway, which does not match the style of the archway and is very abrupt. Therefore, to preserve the appearance, Baiyun Temple does not support machine ticket verification.

The security guard checked the ticket and looked at Zhang Chulan sympathetically. Zhang Chulan could only laugh twice, and pulled Feng Baobao, who was still comfortably sucking Coke, into Baiyun Temple.

The security guard scratched his head at the door and asked the colleague next to him: "The Taoist Master of Baiyunguan, does he care whether his brain is not bright or not?"

"You should leave it alone, isn't it innate?"

······

As one of the three major ancestral courts of Quanzhen, the chief helmsman of Quanzhen Longmen Sect, and located in the imperial capital of two dynasties, Baiyun Temple has been rewarded by many emperors, and emperors of many dynasties have asked about it. Like the gorgeous and exquisite archway at its entrance, Baiyun Temple

The style of the view is by no means as ethereal and comfortable as its name.

The glazed tiles, high vermilion walls, painted pillars and carved beams are majestic and solemn; the Ming Dynasty three-legged dragon-carved copper stove in the courtyard, and the aura-filled crane murals are exquisite and elegant; the mottled vermilion walls and the stone bridge are covered in bruises if anyone touches them

The stone monkeys and the copper stove with incense pouring into the top of the stove all show the rich history of Baiyun Temple.

Today was not a rest day, and it was early in the morning. There were very few tourists in the temple. Zhang Chulan looked around and frowned.

The atmosphere in Baiyun Temple is not quite right.

Zhang Chulan thought to himself that he had already greeted Huang Ming, whom Luo Tian had met at the wedding, yesterday.

He said he would visit Baiyun Temple today, and Huang Ming enthusiastically said he would pick him up at the door and take him to visit Baiyun Temple. But he didn't see anyone today.

and,

Zhang Chulan glanced at the table with a sign for self-service incense hanging on the edge of the table. On the table, there were only empty boxes of incense, and no Taoist priests from Baiyun Temple came to replenish the supplies.

"Zhang Chulan, why are you here?"

Suddenly a female voice exclaimed behind Zhang Chulan and called out his name.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao turned around.

The person who stopped them was Lu Linglong, who had pink hair and was wearing a navy blue coat. Beside her, there was Lu Jin, who was wearing a straight black suit and was energetic.

I saw Lu Jin, a white-haired trendy man who usually wears pink shirts and colorful suits, who is more fashionable than young people. Today, he was wearing a black suit seriously. The buttons on his shirt were buttoned up properly. Even Lu Linglong had changed into a suit.

The navy blue coat worn daily by Taoist priests.

Zhang Chulan suddenly felt bad and asked: "Master Lu, Lu Linglong, why are you here?"

This question made Lu Linglong confused: "Why, aren't you here to see Grand Master Uncle?"

Zhang Chulan was shocked: "Uncle Taishi? Are you talking about Mr. Liu Dongtian, the most senior person in Quanzhen? What happened to him?"

Liu Dongtian was the target of their trip.

Lu Linglong looked sad and said in a low tone: "Grand Master suddenly felt something last night and felt that his end was approaching. Because he didn't want to disturb the rest of the brothers, he took a nap and only told the brothers in Baiyunguan during morning class.

, saying that his life span has expired and he will die today."

He knew he was going to die last night, but he was still able to sleep peacefully, and then he downplayed it the next day and said he was going to die?

There can't be one of these old men who cares about life and death. It really makes me ashamed to do this.

Zhang Chulan sighed in his heart.

Lu Jin sighed: "Given how much Lao Liu has cultivated his life, he should be able to hold on for a few more days. But he didn't want to hold a big funeral, and he was worried that if he went at night, his disciples and grandchildren wouldn't be able to sleep well, so he decided to go during the day. It's really

He has his own style."

Seeing that Zhang Chulan didn't know about Liu Dongtian and looked confused, Lu Jin understood that Zhang Chulan had something else to do to see Liu Dongtian, so he advised:

"Chu Lan, if you come with us to meet Liu Dongtian, it can be regarded as sending off an old friend on behalf of your master."

"Yes." Zhang Chulan said in a dull tone, sighing in his heart.

'Zhang Chulan, Zhang Chulan, you little hapless guy, can't you just have one thing go your way?'

Zhang Chulan followed Lu Jin and Lu Linglong in a depressed mood, but Feng Baobao was still holding the straw carelessly.

···

"Hahaha, I still remember that when Xingyang first arrived at Baiyunguan, he clutched the corner of his master's clothes with his little hands and did not dare to leave. And Xiao Huangming, when he first arrived, was frightened by Xingyang and cried loudly."

Following Lu Linglong, he led a few people into the backyard of Baiyuntuan and found Liu Dongtian's room. As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhang Chulan heard a burst of hearty laughter.

He was a little surprised. This was not consistent with the sad and depressing atmosphere he had imagined.

Lu Linglong was also a little surprised, but Lu Jin opened the door as usual and shouted to Liu Dongtian: "Old Liu, what's the matter with you? You didn't tell me that you were leaving. If Linglong didn't want to come back and see you,

, called her master, I didn’t even know about it.”

The floor of the room was crowded with Taoist priests from Baiyun Temple. Zhang Chulan could only recognize the bearded Baiyun Temple master Liu Xingyang, and his junior brother Huang Ming.

On the high bed, there was only an old man with a frost-stained beard and traces of slow stories on his face.

"Little Linglong is here too, come here quickly and let me see you. I haven't seen you for a long time." Liu Dongtian, the Grand Master of Baiyunguan, was very happy to see Lu Jin and Lu Linglong.

"It's not a big deal. I came into the world crying and left with a smile. Why bother you friends."

Woo,

There were faint sounds of suppressed crying among the Taoist priests sitting on the floor.

Liu Dongtian smiled and scolded: "Why are you crying? I don't ask you to sing like the sages, but at least you must send me calmly. If anyone cries again, I will whip him."

"I have something to say to you."

The Baiyun audience made Ziwu seals and said together: "Please give me some advice, Master."

"My destiny is up to me and not up to God."

Liu Dongtian said: "Life is a number of days, and the number of days is hard to reverse. However, my destiny is up to me, and how you live your life is all determined by your own heart."

"Don't do any evil, do all the good, accumulate virtue and merit, and be kind to things."

All the Taoist priests bowed their heads. "I would like to be taught."

Liu Dongtian waved his hand: "Okay, don't gather here. Everyone on duty today will go to pick up the pilgrims. Don't miss the main business."

Several Taoist priests who were on duty today to welcome guests bowed and left in despair. None of the remaining ones who had nothing to do today left, all wanting to accompany their ancestors on their last journey.

At this time, after saying a few words, Liu Dongcai, who was a little tired, saw Zhang Chulan standing at the door with a hesitant face, and Feng Baobao who was calm.

Liu Dongtian said kindly: "The two children at the door, who are you? Lao Lu, you don't want to introduce me."

Lu Jin said: "That kid is the grandson of Zhang Zhiwei's junior brother Zhang Huaiyi and Zhang Chulan, the disciple of Tianshi. Next to him is an employee of Miodutong named Feng Baobao."

Liu Dongtian suddenly realized: "I think of it, it's Zhang Chulan who was the winner of the Luotian Dajiao a while ago and almost became a heavenly master, right?"

Zhang Chulan bent down to salute and said respectfully: "Young man Zhang Chulan, I have met Grand Master Uncle."

Liu Dongtian smiled and said: "Don't be so formal. Seeing that I have such a good relationship with Lao Lu, you should know that I am not the kind of old antique who sticks to the rules."

Lu Jin muttered: "You old guy, what do you mean?"

Liu Dongtian said: "What do you want to see me for?"

Zhang Chulan pursed his lips twice, and even with his face, he couldn't say anything to ask the dying and kind old man to help.

Only Feng Baobao's innocent heart kept asking: "Grandpa, do we want to ask you for a favor?"

Liu Dongtian smiled and said, "Oh, what can I help you with?"

Feng Baobao told the truth: "We want to go to the underworld, go to Luo Fengtian, and ask Hu Xiuwu for help. I heard the old man from Longhu Mountain said that you can help our soul escape from its shell."

"That's why we're asking for your help."

After saying that, Feng Baobao even gave Zhang Chulan a thumbs-up sign as she winked at her, telling him not to worry. She perfectly explained the cause and effect clearly.

Bang! Zhang Chulan slapped him on the face, covered his face, and did not dare to look at the faces of the Taoist men in Baiyun Temple. A touch of joy suddenly rose in his heart.

'Fortunately, we met Mr. Lu. Sister Bao'er and I should be able to get out alive, right?'

"Oh." Liu Dongtian asked with interest, "I'm about to die, and you still want to ask me for help."

Feng Baobao said frankly: "Whether you can help us or not, it just depends on whether you want it or not, grandpa. What does it have to do with you being about to die?"

Liu Dongtian looked up to the sky and laughed: "That's good, you heard me. Those of you who have practiced Taoism in Baiyun Temple for half your life are not as free and easy as a little girl."

Lu Jin also smiled and said: "During Luo Tian's great ceremony, the Heavenly Master also felt that this little girl's character was extraordinary."

Feng Baobao said blankly: "Are you willing to help us?"

After laughing happily and catching his breath, Liu Dongtian said happily: "Before I die, if I can help this junior again, it is of course my duty to do so. It just so happens that I am also curious about the scenery of Luofeng, and I happen to be traveling with these two little friends."

Zhang Chulan's knees softened and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times to Liu Dongtian willingly.
