My Weird Life

Chapter 1095 The Stone Carvings of Emperor Wa (22)

The Temple of the Heavenly King was originally just a courtyard with three or five rooms. Open the courtyard door and turn around the wall facing the door, which is the main hall of the temple, in which the "Shenxiao Pagoda Heavenly King" is enshrined.

Since Taoist Shao inherited the position of abbot of the Taoist temple and became more famous, the temple has become more and more prosperous. Therefore, many temples were built around the original courtyard, forming a complex of buildings.

Now the Taoist temple has three gates. Several old trees in front of the gates spread their crowns, casting large shadows in front of the courtyard.

There were traders and servants setting up stalls under the shade of the trees, selling incense, candles, paper money and the like, but there was still a lot of business.

Su Wu and others weighed paper money at the stall, bought incense and candles, and walked in through the small door on the left side of the Taoist temple. After turning around the wall facing the door, they saw a large vat squatting in the center of the yard. When pilgrims and believers pass by the vat, they have to take out some money and throw it into the vat.

Beside the big vat, there were several little Taoist boys walking back and forth.

Seeing this situation, Su Wu already understood that the copper coins that the believers threw into the vat were considered as incense money donated to the Taoist temple. So, he also took out some copper coins and distributed them to Wu Wenyuan and others. When he passed by the vat, he also threw the money into the vat.

Everyone went to the main hall to offer incense to the 'Shenxiao Pagoda Heavenly King'. After walking out of the main hall, Su Wu grabbed a Taoist priest who was reading scriptures under the corridor. Before he could speak, the Taoist priest separated him from Wu Wenyuan behind him. Several people looked up and down, then said calmly: "Go east along the road on the left side of the main hall, and after passing the two moon gates, you will find the Zhaitang.

You can have a fast meal in the dining hall without paying. "

 —This is to regard Su Wu and his entourage as specially coming to see the King of Heaven for a meal.

Wu Wenyuan looked slightly stunned, and several Sanyang congregants behind him glared at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest saw everyone's expressions and was a little confused: "The vegetarian food in the temple is very delicious, and today there is also plate meat. Many believers will stay in our dining hall to eat."

With his explanation like this, Wu Wenyuan and others understood that the other party did not look down on them and regarded them as 'asking for trouble'.

"Taoist Master, we admire the name of 'Taoist Shao', and we came here to visit him." Su Wu explained to the Taoist priest.

 “Are you looking for Master Shao?

Is there a ghost at home, or is there an evil spirit in the village?

"It's a pity that Master is not in the temple now..." The Taoist priest closed the scriptures in his hands, sat upright, and replied to Su Wu, "Is the matter urgent and serious?

If it's not serious, you can ask our senior brother to come over and help you solve the problem.

 If it's serious... I can only wait for Master Shao to come back before I can go over and help you solve the problem. "

 “It’s not something evil and sneaky...”

“Then you want to ask our master to consecrate spiritual treasures and conduct rituals?”

"It's not like that." Su Wu shook his head. Seeing that the Taoist priest opened his mouth to say more, he said bluntly, "I am a Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple. I have admired Taoist Shao's name for a long time. I came here this time to meet with you. He asked for advice on Dharma and discussed how to practice.”

There are many temples in the world. Whether there is a Taoist temple called "Qingyun Temple" or not, Su Wu didn't know yet, and most of the Taoist priests opposite could not tell.

He deliberately said this because he wanted to use his identity as a Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple to meet Taoist Shao as soon as possible.

Now today, Wang Guan’s incense is at its peak, and he wants to see the real person among them, but there are many difficulties. Without some extraordinary means, he will not know that it will be the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse before he can meet Taoist Shao.

“A Taoist brother from Qingyun Temple?

  Is there an ultimatum? "The Taoist priest looked up at Su Wu and asked again.

　　　…”

Su Wu and the Taoist priest looked at each other, and a lot of roulette wheels suddenly appeared in his eyes. The king of eight consciousnesses spread out instantly, and the Taoist priest's will was wrapped in it: "How can I see you, the Taoist abbot?"

“Master is very fond of the five senior brothers who have been under his disciples earlier, and all matters in the temple are handled by the five senior brothers.

Everyone who wants to see Master must first meet these senior brothers.

If you want to meet Master, you also need to make some arrangements with these senior brothers. If you can afford ten taels of silver, the brothers will arrange for you to meet the abbot within one month;

If you can come up with fifty taels of silver..."

"How can ordinary people without money meet your abbot?" Su Wu frowned when he heard the Taoist priest's "confession". It's not like he couldn't come up with dozens or hundreds of taels of silver.

It’s just that the Temple of the Heavenly King looks like this now, which is far from the Temple of the Heavenly King that he imagined. In such an environment, could the ‘Taoist Shao’ in the Temple of the Heavenly King be able to emerge from the mud without being stained?

“If ordinary people have no urgent matters and cannot afford money, they will probably not be able to see the master.

If there is something important, several senior brothers would not dare to hide it and would help pass on the message to the master, so that they could see the master as soon as possible.

In addition to these two situations, you can also wait for the fasting ceremony on the fifteenth day of each month to take the opportunity to visit the Master. You can see the Master most of the time. "The Taoist priest responded.

Su Wu nodded.

It seems that although there is some unhealthy energy in the Temple of Heavenly King, fortunately, it is only 'disease on the skin' and has not penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

He looked at the Taoist priest named "Changji" and continued: "I can't wait too long. Where is your master now? Let me see, maybe I can go find him on my own."

“This month, there were occasional earthquakes in Zhonghuang Mountain in Shexian County, and the mountain fell off, revealing large cliffs and stone carvings.

It was rumored to be the ‘Relics of Emperor Wa’, so my master went to Zhonghuang Mountain to copy the stone carvings and explore the relics. If you go to Zhonghuang Mountain at this time, you may be able to meet our master. "Changji replied.

 The remains of Emperor Wa? !

  Related to ‘Nuwa’?

Would that attract Wang Chuanzhen from the Hong Ai Society?

Su Wu listened to what Taoist Chang Ji said, and a few thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind. He then calmed down his thoughts, and asked Chang Ji about the path to Zhonghuang Mountain from here, and hurried down the mountain with Wu Wenyuan and others.

“You drive your mules and horses to the nearest village or town to find someone to stay with.

 I will go to Zhonghuang Mountain and come back to meet you in a few days. "Su Wu ordered Wu Wenyuan to take away the mule and carriage, and told the Sanyang congregation, "I made an agreement with Qin Heng that after he picks up the remaining Huangdaohui disciples, he will also come to Dancheng.

Calculating the time, they will probably arrive in Dancheng within these few days. Uncle Wu, I leave this talisman for receiving and sending messages to you. If Qin Heng and others come, you will take people to receive them. "

"Yes." Wu Wenyuan took the talisman from Su Wu's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Su Wu, "We have been following King Ming all day long, but we have been wasting our time and have never done anything except Apart from the trivial things like recruiting the brothers from the Yellow Rice Society, what else do you want us to do?"

Su Wu smiled after listening to what he said, and said: "If you have time, you can collect more information about the 'Eternal Life Archway', the 'Red Ai Society', and the 'Branches of the White Lotus Sect', and then summarize it and report it to me. "

 The Sanyang congregation followed him and had nothing to do all day long. Although they were safe, it was inevitable that their hearts would grow weary.

Wu Wenyuan took the initiative and wanted to do something, and Su Wu was free to do so. Asking them to do something could also stabilize their minds and give them a goal and a way forward for the future.

“Okay.” Wu Wenyuan agreed, took several Sanyanghui disciples onto the mule and carriage, and said goodbye to Su Wu.

Su Wu found a secluded corner and sank into the shadow of his own calamity on the spot. Following the flow of his own calamity power, he traveled in the intertwined calamity power between heaven and earth and quickly approached Zhonghuang Mountain.

He gave Liu Feiyan the horse bell that could summon "Long Cong Ma Ben". He didn't use the horse bell often. For him, the most convenient and safe and concealed "travel method" in the past was the hidden way. Entering the shadow world of Yinggui, walking in it is almost like shrinking into an inch.

Now traveling among the tribulations is not only faster, but you can also catch sneaky ones and offer sacrifices to your own gods.

Such treacherous things that are fished out of misfortunes mostly show the pattern of killing and are intent on harming others. Su Wu's fishing away of them also simplifies the fate of those who are in a murderous pattern. Changing the fate of others will also cause the fate of others to be attached to himself, pushing his own death to come earlier.

—However, Su Wu didn't care about it.

No need to bite him if he has too many lice, no worries if he has too many debts. The four tricks have blocked all his ways in reality. He is not worried about adding a few more catastrophes now - not to mention, the catastrophes of ordinary people are merged into his. In the vast ocean of shadows, they are almost undetectable.

These people’s calamities want to push his death calamity to come earlier, and he doesn’t know how long it will accumulate.

 In the village at the foot of Zhonghuang Mountain, somewhere among the houses.

The old lady was dancing happily on the beam, when suddenly a fishhook hung down from somewhere, instantly lifting her up and pulling her into the vast ocean of calamity!
