Chapter 143: The drunk Taoist tricks Lin Ye
Do foxes worship the moon?
After leaving Qingfeng Temple, Lin Ye was also thinking about what the old Taoist had said about his Third Uncle.
Humans, demons and ghosts have different paths, this is the rule of nature.
But the laws of nature are not absolute, and there must be a way to adapt to everything.
There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and one is hidden by man.
This one is the variable.
Lin Ye suddenly had an epiphany. He returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and entered a meditative state.
As he was meditating, a pale little man appeared above his head again. Unlike the last time when his facial features were still a little blurry, this time the facial features of the pale little man were clearly visible.
A smaller version of Lin Ye.
With the appearance of this fair-skinned little man, Tai Sui, who had been lying leisurely in the room, trembled, as if he smelled some fragrance, and began to move his body, and his speed was surprisingly no slower than that of a human walking.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived outside Lin Ye's door, and then his body slowly slid in through the gap in the threshold like a puddle of mud.
After crossing the threshold, Tai Sui was very excited when he saw the little figure sitting cross-legged on top of Lin Ye's head. It was a pity that he had no eyes, otherwise his eyes could be described as shining.
The little man also noticed Tai Sui coming in. He clenched his little fists and waved at Tai Sui. A fierce expression appeared on his young face, as if to say, if you look at me again, I will beat you up.
Tai Sui squirmed in fear, curled up into a ball, and muttered, "He's so fierce at such a young age."
The villain waved his fist, and then sat cross-legged like Lin Ye. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to flow into the house. Tai Sui moved his body, stretching it a little, and at the same time, some of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that flowed into the room was also absorbed.
Tai Sui found that the villain didn't react at all, and his body stretched wider and wider, until it reached the maximum limit of its size. In this way, he could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the fastest speed.
Unlike other creatures, the magic of Tai Sui lies in the fact that its structure is different from that of normal creatures. There is no distinction between the five senses and limbs. The whole body is a whole, and any part can be said to be the five senses or the limbs.
The little man above Lin Ye's head ignored Tai Sui and continued to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
One week, two weeks...
Half an hour later, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth stopped gathering, and the size of the little man above Lin Ye's head did not increase much, but the hair and eyebrows on his head became thicker than before.
The little man opened his eyes and tried to climb down from Lin Ye's head, but he accidentally lost his grip and rolled directly to the ground.
Tai Sui, who was lying not far away, saw this scene and squirmed at a rapid speed, like a cushion, allowing the little man to fall on it without touching the ground.
The villain grabbed the flesh on Tai Sui's body in a panic, then patted Tai Sui with satisfaction and just lay on Tai Sui's body.
Lin Ye did not stop practicing. After the little man came down from above his head, the standing Buddha slowly appeared above his head again.
Still the whole figure could not be seen clearly in the fog. The Standing Buddha stood on the City God Seal. The City God Seal rotated and the little man below shuddered. Tai Sui was very considerate and wrapped the flesh on his body tighter, leaving only the little man's head exposed.
From a distance, it looks like the little man is wrapped in a swaddling cloth.
As the City God Seal turned, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and streams of negative energy began to float in, slowly flowing under the City God Seal.
Under the City God Seal, the negative energy was lingering there, and it looked like a number of tiny carving knives were carving on the base of the seal.
A hook, a horizontal stroke, a left stroke...
Tai Sui's body was trembling slightly because of the negative energy in the room. Finally, he had no choice but to carry the little man and shrink into a corner of the room.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the negative energy in the room suddenly gathered together, like a sharp carving knife, and slammed into the base of the City God Seal.
One horizontal stroke, one vertical stroke, two strokes...
After the four strokes were completed, the Yin energy was completely absorbed. If there was someone under the City God Seal at this moment, they would be able to see a word "wood" engraved on the base.
The City God Seal stopped rotating and the negative energy in the room also dissipated. Tai Sui crawled to Lin Ye's front again, and then stretched out his body. The little man climbed up along Lin Ye's trouser legs and climbed to his dantian. He looked at the standing Buddha above Lin Ye's head with some fear, and did not continue to climb up, but drilled into Lin Ye's dantian and disappeared.
Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door and Lin Ye opened his eyes.
"Mr. Lin...something's wrong."
It was Daogu's voice outside the door. Although Lin Ye had already taken the old Taoist as his master, Daogu was still used to calling Lin Ye "Young Master Lin". He was still embarrassed to call him "Junior Brother".
"Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Lin Ye stood up and opened the door. He looked at Daou's anxious expression with some confusion. He had just returned from the Taoist temple only about two hours ago. What could have happened?
"Master...Master is drunk and is now in the Taoist temple...talking nonsense in the Taoist temple."
nonsense?
Lin Ye understood that this was a case of drunkenness.
Thinking that the old Taoist priest would go crazy due to drinking, Lin Ye became a little excited: "Quick...quickly take me to see...to stop the master."
Qingfeng Temple Sanqing Hall!
When Lin Ye arrived, the old Taoist was standing at the entrance of the main hall, crying loudly: "Grandmaster, I am sorry for you."
"Grandmaster, I am a useless disciple and have caused you to suffer injustice over the years."
"I don't want to either, but since the establishment of Qingfeng Temple, there have been seven generations, a total of eighty-nine people. Except for me, they were either assassinated or died at the hands of demons and monsters. None of them had a good end."
The old Taoist was crying and looked very funny, but what he said moved Lin Ye.
Seven generations, none of them had a good ending.
The sacrifices incurred by Qingfeng Temple can be imagined.
"Outsiders scold me for being greedy and afraid of death. I accept that. I have also thought about slaying demons with my sword, but I am afraid that Qingfeng Temple will lose its incense."
"People in the world are indifferent. They only know that Qingfeng Temple is not killing demons and monsters now, but few people remember the more than 80 spirit tablets enshrined in the back hall of Qingfeng Temple."
"master……"
Daogu called out softly, and Lin Ye waved his hand to stop Daogu. The old Taoist had never drunk strong liquor in the real world, so this was a rare time when he spoke the truth while drunk.
These words have obviously been weighing on the old Taoist's heart for a long time, so it would be nice to vent them out while he's drunk.
After crying, the old Taoist didn't stop, and turned his gaze to Lin Ye and Daogu, "You two come here!"
Lin Ye and Daogu looked at each other. For some reason, Lin Ye suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Today, as your master, I will lead you to slay the monster!"
"Master, let's not do that. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Lin Ye advised tactfully. With the Taoist's current condition, it was a problem whether he could hold the sword steadily, let alone slay the demon.
"Tomorrow and tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. Dawu, take your teacher's bag!"
Daogu didn't think as much as Lin Ye. On the contrary, he looked somewhat excited and ran quickly towards the backyard.
Lin Ye curled his lips and said, "Well, you've already spoken proverbs, it seems you're not completely drunk yet."
…
…
Five minutes later!
The old Taoist staggered out of the Taoist temple with Lin Ye and Daogu. Looking at the old Taoist's walking posture, Lin Ye was really afraid that he would fall, but what surprised him was that every time the old Taoist looked like was going to fall, he managed to stand at the critical moment.
"Master, why are you taking us around the city?"
After walking around for most of the way, Lin Ye couldn't help it anymore. Didn't they say they were going to slay demons and eliminate evil?
"Horse... we'll be there soon!" The old Taoist muttered, "Strange, we're on the right road."
After turning a corner , in an alley, the old Taoist suddenly pointed to a house with two red lanterns hanging in the alley and shouted, "Yes, this is it."
Following the direction the old Taoist pointed, Lin Ye squinted his eyes and looked. Across the alley was a house with red lanterns hanging on it. The gate was closed and the branches of two bare persimmon trees climbed out of the wall. Under the dim moonlight, it looked like a person stretching his arms in a strange way.
"Lin Ye, go knock on the door!"
"ah!"
Lin Ye was stunned and pointed at his nose. He asked me to knock on the door?
This house seemed eerie to him even from across the alley.
"What are you afraid of? I am here with you, Master."
The old Taoist grabbed the bag that Daogu was carrying, took out a jar, opened the jar, and poured handfuls of copper coins into his hands.
"Knot!"
Then the old Taoist made seals with his hands, shouted softly, and threw the copper coins out. The copper coins slowly gathered in the air, and finally condensed into a copper coin sword and fell back into the old Taoist's hands.
Very handsome!
It’s comparable to the special effects in movies and TV series.
This scene gave Lin Ye some confidence.
Although the old Taoist is afraid of death, he must be very powerful to be able to sit firmly in the position of the master of Qingfeng Temple. It's just that he is too cautious and unwilling to take action on weekdays.
Lin Ye walked forward and knocked on the door!
No response.
“Kick the door!”
The old Taoist sent a message behind Lin Ye. Lin Ye nodded and was about to raise his foot, but the door slowly opened.
The creaking sound of the door told Lin Ye that the door seemed to have not been opened for a long time. A normal door would not make such a sound if it was opened frequently. Only doors that had not been opened for a long time would make such a sound.
call!
A cold wind blows!
Lin Ye trembled all over, and the next moment he saw an old woman appear in front of him.
"Are you going to kick the door?"
The old woman looked calm, but at this moment Lin Ye's hair stood on end. A sense of crisis arose from the bottom of his heart. He quickly retreated and turned back to shout, "Master."
But when he turned around, Lin Ye was stunned.
The old Taoist fell into Daogu's arms, still mumbling: "This... wine... wine, it tastes so good..."
Lin Ye: ...
Why do you get drunk at this time instead of earlier in the morning or later in the evening?
Playing me?
Taoist Ding Xuan fell into Daogu's arms, but his eyes were slightly narrowed. He was drunk before, but the moment the old woman came out, he sobered up instantly.
How could he find this place and kick the door? This is tantamount to seeking death.
This person... No one in the entire Shangyang City, oh no, no one in the entire Canglan County can afford to offend him.
Now I can only pretend to be drunk.
"Mother-in-law...well...well, it was my master who asked me to knock on the door."
Lin Ye smiled and looked very fawning. No matter whether the old Taoist was really drunk or pretending to be drunk, one thing was clear: the person in front of him was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"Oh, I told you to knock on the door. What? Are you going to kill a demon?"
The old woman glanced at him, and just this glance was enough to make Lin Ye feel pressured.
"No...nothing. My master said he wanted to take us here to get acquainted with the route and visit your home."
"You two, master and disciple, are really good at choosing the right time to visit me so late at night. Leave me an arm behind and get lost."
The old woman raised her right hand and a ray of black light shot towards Lin Ye. Seeing the black light, Lin Ye dodged it, but what he didn't expect was that after the black light flew past, it turned around and continued to shoot towards him, as if it had a locator installed.
"Master, don't sleep anymore, get up quickly."
Lin Ye flashed towards the old Taoist. The old Taoist saw Lin Ye running towards him through the gap in his eyelids and cursed in his heart, "Can't he just run in another direction?"
"Ahem...what's going on? Why is the Taoist here? Granny Qi?"
The old Taoist stood up and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He seemed to be unable to react to the scene in front of him. But with a snap of his right hand, a copper coin shot out and blocked the black light.
"Granny Qi, what do you mean by this? Why do you want to hurt my disciple?"
The old Taoist looked like he had just woken up, with a questioning look on his face. His acting skills and actions stunned Lin Ye.
Put the blame on someone else?
"you……"
Just as the old woman was about to speak, the old Taoist priest took the lead and said, "For many years, you and I have kept to ourselves. Do you think that since there is no one in Qingfeng Temple, you can bully my disciples? Although I am not talented, my Qingfeng Temple cannot be insulted. There are 62 disciples in the seven generations of Qingfeng Temple. Their spirits in heaven will not see Qingfeng Temple being insulted."
Lin Ye was stunned. How come the number has become sixty-two again? Wasn’t there more than eighty before?
It's true that you can't trust anything this drunk guy says.
"Mother-in-law, since the abbot is drunk, forget it. They have already carried out the 62 disciples of Qingfeng Temple. If you continue to do that, the souls of the disciples of Qingfeng Temple may come to us to ask for an explanation the next moment."
A pleasant female voice came from the yard. When the old woman heard the voice, her expression immediately became respectful, while the old Taoist showed a look of fear on his face.
This person is still here after all.
"Wulian Tianzun, I don't know what happened before. If my disciple has been disrespectful, I will apologize and will punish him severely when I return."
Seeing the old Taoist shamelessly pushing everything onto him, Lin Ye's mouth twitched, but he remained silent. He knew that now was not the time to settle accounts with the old Taoist.
There was no response from the hospital.
The old Taoist gave Lin Ye a look, and the master and his apprentice turned around and left in a hurry. The old woman looked at the backs of the three people leaving, and couldn't help but turned back to the courtyard and asked: "Fairy, why did you let them go so easily?"
"Do you think he is really drunk, or is he just testing me?"
A woman's voice came from the backyard, and the old woman frowned: "Even if he is pretending to be drunk, with his cultivation level, how dare he come to test me?"
"The spirit tablets of the 61 disciples of Qingfeng Temple are still there, and the word Qing in Qingfeng Temple is still there."
The old woman was silent. There were so many Taoist temples in Canglan County, but the only one with the word "Qing" in its name was Qingfeng Temple.
Taoism reveres the Three Pure Ones, and not every Taoist temple can be named "Qing".
"It's impolite not to reciprocate. Regardless of whether he is testing me this time, spread the news that there are only three people left in Qingfeng Temple. I believe many Taoist sects will be interested in this news."
The old woman's eyes lit up, and she understood what her fairy meant.
In the entire Canglan County, only Qingfeng Temple has the word "Qing" in its name. In the past, other Taoist temples in Canglan County would have no objection to this, but now, I am afraid that many Taoist temples are considering replacing Qingfeng Temple.
They don't have to take any action. As long as they spread the news, people from the Taoist sect will naturally come to test the details of Qingfeng Temple on their behalf.
