After searching for a long time, Gu Liang finally found the kitchen of the Taoist temple. It must be said that this kitchen is quite simple, not even as good as Gu's kitchen.
Gu Liang was very careful because he was afraid of disturbing the sleep of Taoist Lingxu, but when he opened the salt jar, he found that there was not much salt left in it, only half a spoonful.
It seems that this Taoist temple is also a poor place, Gu Liang thought silently. However, Gu Liang still poured out the salt in the jar and planned to talk to the Taoist priest tomorrow, thinking that the Taoist priest would not care about him for saving the suffering.
In this way, Gu Liang fed his uncle with light salt water and worked for most of the day.
At some point, Gu Liang fell asleep again. When he woke up, it was already bright and the sun was shining on him.
Gu Liang, who woke up, went to check on his uncle as soon as possible. I don't know when Gu Liang was covered with a blanket. Looking at his uncle Gu Boxi, his forehead was no longer hot, and needles had been inserted into his body. It seemed that Taoist Lingxu had been here.
Gu Liang was very grateful and felt that Taoist Lingxu was indeed a kind-hearted person.
So in order to repay him, Gu Liang cleaned up the main hall, put the incense ash into the furnace, displayed the items, and wiped the incense burner. After doing all this, Gu Liang saw that the place outside the main hall was covered with fallen leaves, so Gu Liang picked up the broom and swept the fallen leaves again. It was not that he was hardworking, but he felt that others had helped so much, and it would be too embarrassing if he didn't do something.
After Gu Liang swept the Taoist temple inside and out, he found that the Taoist temple was a little weird.
This Taoist temple is a standard binary. There is a plaque of Lingbao Temple on the mountain gate. It looks quite old, and the paint on it is already mottled. The first thing you see when you come in is the Patriarch Hall, where the Patriarch Ge Xuan is worshipped, who was a disciple of Zuo Ci during the Three Kingdoms period. The innermost and largest building is the Sanqing Palace, which has a magnificent specification and exquisite style. However, you can see the age of the years, and the paint and color paintings on it are almost invisible. The other two sides should be wing rooms, used to worship other gods or something, and for daily life.
The reason why Gu Liang felt weird was that he swept the floor for half an hour and found that except for himself and Taoist Lingxu, he had never seen any living people in the temple. Oh, there was also a lying Gu Boxi.
Although this binary Taoist temple is not big, it is definitely a large palace in ancient times. After all, the layout of religious places is relatively scattered, covering a large area, and based on the number of wing rooms, it is not a problem for more than a dozen people to live here.
Logically speaking, even if the Taoists were in meditation all day, there shouldn't be no one to be seen. Besides, people always have to eat, and it's impossible that the people here are doing a collective fasting.
Speaking of eating, Gu Liang felt hungry instantly. He slept until the middle of the morning and swept the floor for half a day. It was already noon, and it should be time for lunch.
Gu Liang was a little hungry and wanted to go to the kitchen to get something to eat. Someone should be cooking in the kitchen at this time. So Gu Liang came to the kitchen. He had been there once last night and was very familiar with the location of the kitchen.
But when he opened the kitchen door, Gu Liang found that the kitchen was deserted. The cold stove was there, and no one was turning on the fire. The light was not good last night, so I didn't see it clearly. Looking at the kitchen carefully today, Gu Liang felt that the things inside were not like the number of people in a Taoist temple, but rather the kitchen of an elderly person living alone. High EQ means cleanliness and tidiness, and low EQ means nothing.
Gu Liang was very confused, so he found Taoist Lingxu who was meditating in the ancestral hall, and asked with doubt: "Master, where are the other Taoists in the temple? It's noon now, don't they have lunch?" In fact, Gu Liang wanted to eat, but he said it in a different way.
Taoist Lingxu was confused by Gu Liang's words, raised his hand and touched Gu Liang's head to see if Gu Liang was confused by the fever.
Gu Liang was very puzzled. He asked the Taoist a question, why did the Taoist touch him.
Taoist Lingxu saw that Gu Liang did not have a fever, so he smiled and said: "I have lived alone in Lingbao Temple for fifteen years, and I have never heard that there are other Taoists in the temple. How did you see other Taoists? You should have met a little ghost in the mountains yesterday. I have a stack of talismans here, you can take it with you. Not to mention a little ghost, even if it is a thousand-year-old fox demon, there is a thunder talisman in it, it can also attract the thunder to kill this evil beast."
Gu Liang was shocked by Taoist Lingxu's words. The first shock
What shocked him was that Taoist Lingxu lived alone in this Taoist temple for more than ten years; secondly, Taoist Lingxu suspected that he was possessed by a ghost, but he had just made a wrong deduction. He thought that Taoists like to practice in silence, so he didn't go out; thirdly, Taoist Lingxu was too arrogant. He used a stack of talismans at a time. He has been living alone in this remote place for more than ten years. He must have stored up a whole room of talismans because he couldn't use them!
Gu Liang was thinking about it, but his stomach started to rumble, so he asked Taoist Lingxu if he didn't cook?
Taoist Lingxu sincerely introduced his situation to him. He worshipped Ge Xiangong and joined the Lingbao Sect. He mainly practiced Taoist talismans and fasting rituals, and focused on taking medicine and fasting, so he rarely ate.
Gu Liang was speechless. Taoist Lingxu was used to fasting, but he didn't. Could it be that he didn't want to eat either?
Gu Liang's stomach was getting more and more upset. After all, he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon!
Taoist Lingxu also heard the sound of Gu Liang's stomach, took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Liang, telling him to eat it when he was hungry.
"I don't know how many things Taoist Lingxu has hidden in his sleeves. It's a talisman and food. It's not Doraemon's treasure bag." Gu Liang complained and retreated. He felt that he couldn't rely on Taoist Lingxu. Even if he gave him a piece of compressed biscuit, it wouldn't stop his hunger!
Gu Liang took a look at what Taoist Lingxu gave him. It was mysterious and stuffed into his arms.
When Gu Liang took out the thing, he almost got angry to death. He originally thought it was a steamed bun or a sesame cake, which could help him feel a little hungry. This black and wrinkled thing was obviously a piece of processed Huangjing. It was neither full nor hungry. Eating it was the same as not eating it.
"No wonder Lingbao Sect disappeared later. Who would want to practice if they eat this stuff every day?" Gu Liang complained in his heart again, but Gu Liang was also telling the truth. Lingbao Sect's inheritance was basically gone during the Song Dynasty, just like this Taoist temple now, with only Taoist Lingxu left.
No wonder Taoist Lingxu looks like a young man with white hair and extraordinary appearance! If you fast like this every day and don't eat anything, anyone would be starved to the point of not eating worldly things.
But no matter how much you complain, you still have to eat. After all, you can be hungry, and your third uncle still has to feed you a little!
