Chapter 335: Two Gifts from Senior Sister
Xuandu Temple.
This temple is a famous one in Chang'an, covering an area of one thousand acres. It was built in Chongyefang, Daxing City, close to Zhuque Street. There was an endless stream of people coming here to burn incense and make petitions, including many high-ranking officials and ministers of the current dynasty.
After Li Daoxuan, holding a Qilin whisk and wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, showed his Taoist book and certificate, the boy at the door hurried to report.
After a while, an old Taoist priest walked out of the temple . He was wearing a yellow robe and a long beard. He looked vigorous, his eyes were full of energy, and he walked very lightly, with an air of being otherworldly.
Some people who came to burn incense were shocked when they saw the old Taoist priest.
"Isn't this Master Dong Yangzi? He is the headmaster of Xuandu Temple. Who can let him come to greet him in person?"
"It must be a prince or noble. No, it should be a member of the royal family!"
"I heard that when the Minister of the Central Secretariat Fang Xuanling came to ask for an audience, he did not show up..."
Dong Yangzi walked straight to Li Daoxuan and said with a smile: "Master Li has come from afar, please come in quickly!"
Although Li Daoxuan is only the ninth-generation disciple of Longhu Mountain, in terms of seniority, he is far inferior to Dong Yangzi, the head of Xuandu.
But Li Daoxuan had already been famous in the Taoist community, and was even canonized as an immortal by the emperor himself. In the entire Xuandu Temple, Dongyangzi was the only one who had the title of immortal, so he came to greet him in person and was extremely enthusiastic.
Even a little too enthusiastic.
Dong Yangzi pulled up Li Daoxuan 's sleeve, took him into the room, and personally made tea for him.
This made Li Daoxuan frown slightly. The other party's enthusiasm was a bit too much, and even had a hint of flattery, which was a bit abnormal.
Even if Xuan Du wanted to be on good terms with him, it wouldn't be like this.
This Dong Yangzi's cultivation is also quite good. Li Daoxuan estimated that he should be in the late Yin Shen realm and has even glimpsed a bit of the mystery of the Yang Shen realm. He is somewhat similar to Taoist Xuan Cheng of the Maoshan Sect.
Dong Yangzi observed Li Daoxuan's words and expressions, and seemed to see the doubt in Li Daoxuan's heart, so he smiled and said, "Master Li, I am wondering why I am so respectful to you?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said with a frank smile: "To be honest, Senior, you are so polite that I feel a little uncomfortable."
Dong Yangzi laughed loudly and said, "Master Li, you don't know that my Xuandu Temple actually owes you a big favor."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Dong Yangzi's eyes showed a trace of emotion, and he said: "Fairy Taizhen of your sect has condescended to live in my Xuandu Temple for nine years. During these nine years, my Xuandu Temple has been able to enjoy the aura of immortals, and all the disciples have benefited greatly. It is really a great fortune !"
After a pause, he said gratefully, "Even I, an old Taoist, have been stuck in the late Yin God Realm for thirty years. Thanks to the fairy's guidance, my bottleneck has been loosened and I see the hope of being promoted to the Yang God Realm!"
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan was shocked.
He had always thought that his senior sister was very strong, but he had never expected that she was so strong. With just a few pointers, she could actually allow Dong Yangzi to glimpse the Yang Shen realm?
Senior sister...what realm is she in?
Recalling the figure of his senior sister coming on a boat and leaving on a black bird that night, Li Daoxuan suddenly felt that his senior sister was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Is my sister still here? I want to pay her a visit. "
Li Daoxuan asked.
Dong Yangzi sighed and said, "You came at a very unfortunate time. Fairy Taizhen left not long ago without telling us where she was going. She is the reincarnation of a celestial being with unfathomable magical powers. Although I, an old Taoist, am extremely reluctant to let her go, I also know that her fate with the immortal has ended and cannot be forced."
Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Can you take me to see where Senior Sister used to live?"
He was thinking that his senior sister might have left him some clues.
Dong Yangzi nodded and said, "Others are not allowed to enter the fairy's residence, but Fairy Taizhen said that if you come, you can enter at will. If you don't have a temporary place to stay, you can also stay in her courtyard."
Li Daoxuan's heart moved. Hearing this, it seemed that his senior sister was not planning to leave for a long time. Instead, it seemed that she was leaving temporarily because of some urgent matter and planned to come back to live here in the future.
After a while, Dong Yangzi brought him to a quiet courtyard.
There were special disciples guarding outside the courtyard, prohibiting others from entering. When many people saw the headmaster leading Li Daoxuan in, they showed envy in their eyes.
Entering the courtyard, Li Daoxuan was visibly cheered up.
Aura, extremely abundant aura!
The spiritual energy here is so rich that it is even richer than that of the Jade Emperor Tower in Mount Longhu. It seems as if the creation of the entire heaven and earth is concentrated in this small courtyard. Even if a stupid person lives here for a long time, his mind will be opened and his wisdom will increase.
Secondly, there are a lot of flowers, all in full bloom, and many of them are not even in this season, but are in full bloom.
A breeze blew by, filling his nose with intoxicating floral scent. In the middle of this sea of flowers, there was a rattan bed hanging by ropes. Li Daoxuan seemed to see a beautiful figure, sleeping against the rattan, among thousands of flowers, with the bright moon and starry sky above her head.
After walking around, Li Daoxuan discovered a vegetable garden where there were spiritual vegetables planted by his senior sister herself. The kitchen showed signs of frequent use, while the room was messy and mostly filled with books.
Li Daoxuan originally thought it was some secret book of Taoism, so he picked it up and took a look.
"Records of Ghosts", "Secret Stories of Seeking Immortals", "Records of All Things", "History of Female Heroes"...
Hmm? It seems like a strange book got mixed in?
Li Daoxuan discovered that most of these books were novels and stories, followed by methods of cooking, brewing, growing vegetables, raising chickens, and even some vulgar readings...
The senior sister seemed to read every book very carefully and even made annotations in some places.
Wow, he reads everything except Taoist classics!
It was as if Senior Sister was not practicing here, but enjoying life.
The image of the aloof and mysterious senior sister in Li Daoxuan's mind seemed to have collapsed a little. Instead, she was replaced by a super homebody who never left the house, loved reading popular novels, and liked growing vegetables and raising chickens...
"Senior, did my sister leave any words before she left?"
Li Daoxuan asked as he sorted the books.
Dong Yangzi told Li Daoxuan what happened that day without hiding anything.
"That day, the fairy called me over and told me that I was leaving soon. She asked me to take good care of this courtyard. If you come, you can live here."
"I was anxious at the time, so I said that I, Xuandu Temple, owed you a great favor, and asked you to stay for a while. After we have repaid the favor, it will not be too late for you to leave."
Li Daoxuan asked: "What does my senior sister say?"
Dong Yangzi sighed and said, "The fairy said that the favor owed by Xuandu Temple should be returned to her junior brother."
After that, he bowed deeply to Li Daoxuan and said, "Master Li, you should be here to attend the Longmen Immortal Meeting. During this period of time, if you have any instructions, everyone in Xuandu Temple will obey them!"
Li Daoxuan was silent for a moment, with a slight ripple in his heart.
He knew that this was a gift from his senior sister to him, a precious place for cultivation with abundant spiritual energy, as well as the favor of the entire Xuandu Temple.
He put away the last book and suddenly found a painting underneath it.
The drawing is crude and of ordinary skill, like a child's scribble.
The painting shows three people standing in a sea of flowers, holding hands, a man and a woman, with a little girl in the middle.
Although the woman and the little girl had ugly and distorted appearances, they still had some appearance. But the man was wearing a Taoist robe and had no facial features. There were only two large, scribbled words on the side - Uncle Master!
