Volume 1 Fortunately, I met the immortal who first enlightened me, and then went to Xiangyan to seek the true Dharma. Chapter 46: The Taoist Enters the Taoist Temple
"What else do you have to say, believers?"
In Xiangyan Temple, Miro's every move was already full of majesty that came from the Taoist temple and Puming Mountain. At this time, he deliberately exerted pressure, and the restless people present felt like a basin of cold water fell on their heads.
The originally impatient mood has calmed down.
However, some stubborn people believed that Miro would not hurt anyone, so they hid in the crowd and asked loudly: "How do we know that you will protect each other? And embezzle the original quota?"
Miro's gaze fell on the man. He had a strong vitality and looked to be about forty years old. His body was still strong, but his hair and beard had turned white and his face was full of wrinkles. He looked even older, as if he was in his sixties.
He shuddered all over, but thinking of his own situation, he still suppressed his fear and stepped forward and said, "Master, it's not that we want to cause trouble, but we are really worried about whether you can do what is written in the notice."
"This matter has been handed over to the authorities. Do you think Mr. Qian and others can't do what they say when you ask me this?"
Miro's overly official answer was obviously unconvincing. Several people hiding in the crowd did not dare to speak for themselves. They looked at each other, wanting to whisper something.
But before they could open their mouths, they felt Miro's gaze falling on them. The moment they looked at each other, they felt as if struck by lightning. Their brains ached terribly and their whole bodies felt weak and uncomfortable, but they just couldn't move.
Miro retracted his gaze and saw the middle-aged man who had refuted him before, speaking again: "We naturally trust Mr. Qian, but we are also worried about what to do if we make mistakes? How can we test it again?"
Miro stared at the middle-aged man, seeing that he was obviously very afraid, but he kept gritting his teeth and persisting, while many people around him retreated because of fear.
He stretched out his hand and made hand gestures, and many residents retreated. When they saw the faint light appearing on Miro's fingertips, they became even more afraid.
The Taoist priest Huo Ju beside Miro also changed color, some of them looked reluctant, while others lowered their heads with a slight smile on their lips.
The fear in the middle-aged man's heart was magnified to the extreme, but he still persisted.
Miro sensed the other party's emotions a little and roughly understood why the other party insisted, but he couldn't say that the test could not be wrong.
He thought for a moment and said in a slightly more tactful tone, "Generally speaking, the test will not go wrong. If you are really worried, we will check again under the Emperor's statue in a month. However, this time the inspection is to check for omissions and make up for deficiencies. You must first bring the official inspection report. Only those who are slightly worse can participate. What do you think, believers?"
After hearing Miro's words, the residents of Lu'an County who came here automatically divided into two factions.
Some people thought that Miro had already made concessions and they should not make trouble anymore.
Another group thought that they should try harder and maybe they could get two more places.
However, the most noisy few were still dazed by Miro's gaze and did not join in. Although everyone was talking, it was just talking. As some people left, the discussion decreased.
Those who wanted to fight again, looking at Miro above, felt inexplicably afraid in their hearts. They gritted their teeth and finally followed him away.
Watching the crowds dispersing, Miro brought several Fire-Dwelling Taoists into the temple, asked them their names, briefly explained their work content, and then asked them to pack up and prepare a few things, while he planned to continue practicing.
At this time, a Taoist priest named Gong Zhonghan from Huoju said, "Master, those people were so aggressive earlier, why did you retreat again and again?"
"How can I keep retreating when they are so aggressive? Who do you think is the stronger party, us or those residents? Are they really here to force me to wait?"
Miro, who has the memories of his past life, knows very well that a considerable number of these residents are not there to cause trouble, but are just seeking the truth and are worried that someone is not doing things according to the rules.
Gong Zhonghan fell silent, and Mi Luo continued, "Even if they really force us, we should still be polite in the county."
"Etiquette?"
Miro nodded and said, "As cultivators, we have the ability to easily kill ordinary people, but we should still follow the etiquette of treating our own kind equally."
"But what if they continue to force us?"
Another Taoist named Hou Yiyu was in a difficult position. He did not like dealing with such unreasonable people, as if he could get what he wanted by pestering them.
Facing this inquiry, Mi Luo was not annoyed and took out a talisman and handed it to Hou Yiyu: "Then use the image retention talisman to record the scene at that time, then suppress the person and send him to the Public Security Bureau to let them deal with it."
Hou Yiyu nodded when he heard this. Gong Zhonghan, who had spoken earlier, suddenly thought of something and asked softly, "Master, what you said before was all about meeting inside the county. What about meeting outside the county?"
"Then I can only pray that the monk this resident meets is someone who is willing to follow legal standards and not take advantage of loopholes."
After saying that, Miro turned and left.
Gong Zhonghan was a little confused. His companion Lou Gunan thought for a while, then reacted and explained, "According to the laws and regulations of Hanxia, when a cultivator encounters ordinary people outside, he needs to remain calm and not act arbitrarily."
“Isn’t this common sense ?”
Gong Zhonghan didn't react for a while, but Hou Yiyu understood what Lou Gunan meant. He looked at Gong Zhonghan and said, "Fellow Daoist Lou means that there is a loophole here."
"What……"
Gong Zhonghan was about to ask what it meant when he suddenly realized what was going on.
Although there are requirements in laws and regulations, monks need to remain calm and not act arbitrarily when they meet ordinary people outside.
But in fact, there are many monsters in the wild that have the ability to transform into human form. When many monks are nervous, they will tentatively launch attacks when they see humanoid creatures.
This situation is generally not considered illegal.
Combined with what Miro said, the meaning is self-evident.
On the other side, Miro returned to his place of practice and started today's lessons.
He first burned incense and chanted scriptures in front of the Emperor's statue, then went to the Patriarch's Hall to burn incense, and finally came to the Demon Subduing Hall and the left and right side halls to burn incense to stabilize the Taoist temple's qi and meridians. Then he took the few Huoju Taoists who had finished packing and began to arrange the work one place at a time.
During this period, Miro also briefly introduced the daily exercises of Xiangyan Temple and what might be taught in the future.
The several Huoju Taoists who had known about this for a long time naturally did not say much. They just followed Miro to walk inside and outside the Xiangyan Temple, followed Miro to do the homework, and then returned to their respective residences at Miro's signal.
Miro took out the roster and summoned the mirror image, replaying the images of several Fire Dwelling Taoists while recording their breath and performance.
