Start with liberation

Chapter 113
Zhan Laodao's Qingshan Temple is not on the mountain, but in the suburbs of Yujiangshui XC District, a small temple with only two entrances and two bays.There is only Laodao Zhan in the entire Qingshan Temple.

When Wu Qing and Shi Dahai returned to Yujiang from Hezhuang Township, they would pass by here.

There is no reason not to invite guests in front of your own house.There is no reason why the host's house is close in front of him and he refuses to enter after being invited.

After leaving Yujiang City at noon, it was already evening when we arrived at Qingshanguan, so it was time for the night shift.However, Wu Qing and Shi Dahai, who had worked overtime for half a day, went to Qingshan Temple to take a break, which is not considered dereliction of duty and slack, so they might as well do it.

Qingshan view, small view, there is no good scenery worth talking about.Even the offerings in the front hall are not the three gods of Tiandaoism, but the local gods of Yujiang.

Tiandaoism is a polytheistic religion.Same as Taoism.

The highest belief is "Tian Dao", under which there are many gods.The immortal system is very developed, and the sources are also very complicated.

There are hundreds of gods, gods, earth, ghosts, ascetics who have become immortals, historical celebrities and mythological figures from all over the world.This is also the same as Taoism.

These hundreds of gods live in the nine heavens in order of rank.

From the lowest point, the ninth day is Yudan Wuliangtian, the eighth day is Shangchanshou Wuliangshoutian... the highest day, the day of no desire, no knot, no love.

"Datong general."

Shi Dahai watched Wu Qing raise his head to look at the statue in front of Qingshan, and opened his mouth to explain Wu Qing's doubts.

"It is rumored that he is a general of the Datong Dynasty, the master of the plague soldiers. The Tong Dynasty has passed away for thousands of years, but the gods born in the Tong Dynasty are still there. This is not a miracle. A miracle is, this is not a miracle."

The candlelight in the front hall illuminated a small square table, Zhan Laodao sat alone in the main seat, and Wu Qingshi sat opposite to Dahai.

Three slanting shadows are faint.

Wu Qing heard a snort from Shi Dahai's tongue-twister-like words.

Perhaps Shi Dahai's disdain when he mentioned the Pure Land Religion on the way back was not just directed at the Pure Land Religion.

Zhan Laodao glanced at Shi Haihai and said,

"Look at the ground, Lao Shi, now in a Taoist temple, say this in front of me, a Taoist priest. It means that we are familiar... You have real skills, but my old way is not completely useless, calming people's hearts, Relieve the panic. Maybe you say that the gods are all bluffing and deceiving, and change the poor way to say, which god doesn't persuade people to be good? Say that the people have something to rely on. The world is not good, and if you don't think about it, it's hard to suffer.

Burn incense, think of God, and ask for someone to protect wealth, industry, and family, to get rid of illnesses, epidemics, and disasters, and to live in peace.Who is it bothering? "

Shi Dahai immediately laughed and said nothing more.Just drinking tea.There is no wine in the view of Qingshan.

The outside of the temple was sparse, and it was raining at some point, and two young figures rushed into the front hall of the Qingshan Temple.

Both of them were wearing gray and white cotton jackets with the school badge of Yude Middle School pinned to their chests.Two middle school students.

As soon as these two people stepped over the threshold of the front hall, they smiled embarrassedly at the three people in the hall. One of them looked older and more courageous, and bowed down to salute.
"Both of us are students of Yude Middle School. The rain was too fast on the road, and the two of us went in uninvited. We borrowed the expensive Guanbao place to take shelter temporarily. Please forgive me, Taoist priest."

He is a young and polite young man.

Old Taoist Zhan said with a chuckle, "It's okay, two young laymen come to have a cup of tea?"

But the two waved their hands together, "Just stand by the door for a while, and leave when the rain stops."

Seeing that the two students had their own ideas, Wu Qing and the other three also talked about their own.

After a while, I heard the two students arguing.They were talking about immortals, their faces were flushed, their voices became louder involuntarily because of the intense discussion.

The older student said, "What do you worship? How can there be any gods? The teacher teaches mathematics, history and science, but what you think is worshiping Taoism and worshiping gods? If you let the gentlemen hear it, I'm afraid it will make your palms swell up." Gods are all deceitful, relying on the fear of the people in their hearts. Fear of death, there are Youfu judges, fear of water and fire, so there are two gods of water and fire.

You see that the Datong God General in the temple is fierce and fierce, and I want to worship him, and protect you from injuries, illnesses and military disasters.Why don't you look back and think about it, he was the leader of the rebel army in the second year of Datong Xianqing, when the Yujiang epidemic and military chaos broke out, and he was recruited. He took up the position of Datong general.Going to the epidemic has nothing to do with him, it just coincides with the meeting.What does it have to do with him to avoid military disasters?He's the one who messed up. "

The younger student murmured, "It's always good to say goodbye. I thought about it in my heart. If I get sick, I can just seek medical treatment. But now the world is not good, and there are still wars outside. If it affects the When Yu Jiang came, with swords and soldiers added to his body, what should he do at that time, can't he just think that the bullet will not fall on his head? Besides praying to gods and immortals, what else can he do?"

The older student spat, "When you are sick, you know how to seek medical advice. The world is bad, why don't you think about seeking medical advice and treating the root cause? Worship God? The world is bad, wars continue, law and order Chaos, isn't it those dog patrols, dog warlords..."

"Cough cough..."

The two students sputtered, Zhan Laodao suddenly coughed and interrupted the two students. Only then did the two students remember that there were still two people in official uniforms in the temple. Their faces were pale with fright. Hastily ran out of Qingshan Temple.

"These two dolls." Laodao Zhan shook his head, smiled and dropped his retaining hand.

Shi Dahai laughed and said, "If you don't make a sound, the two dolls won't be frightened. Freedom of speech. We are in charge of salt affairs, not to catch the social atmosphere. Besides, I think what they say is not unreasonable. How long?"

Old Taoist Zhan smiled wryly, "It's good to be able to speak well and be organized clearly."

Praise people, but don't say what the student said, is there any reason?The two students scolded not only dog ​​warlords, but also gods.

Wu Qing saw the needles, "Are there really gods?"

Whether it is from the perspective of Wu Qing's current occupation or his own "origin", it is necessary for him to explore it.

Shi Dahai folded his arms and said, "Who knows. Anyway, I've lived in nine days, and no one has seen it."

Shi Dahai couldn't say anything, Wu Qing looked at Zhan Laodao,

"Is there really a god? Why don't you come down to the earth and let people see it?"

Old Daoist Zhan smiled at Wu Qing, "If you want to ask the poor Taoist, the poor Taoist can only say yes. Why don't you descend to the mortal world, hehe... Immortals are different, it is difficult for us mortals to reach the nine heavens, and it is also difficult for the immortals of the nine heavens to descend to the mortal world. "

Shi Dahai patted his clothes slowly and got up.

Old Taoist Zhan asked, "Sit down?"

"Didn't you hear those two students say that the world is bad and the law and order are chaotic, and it's all because of us dog patrols?" Shi Dahai stretched his waist,
"Enough rest, it's time to get medical treatment and save lives."

Wu Qing got up too, and bid farewell to Zhan Laodao.

In the right corner of Qingshan Temple, a small pile is covered by a piece of canvas, and several masks with different colors and expressions are exposed from under the canvas.

Xu Shi saw Wu Qing's eyes on the top, and after a while, Zhan Laodao said,
"The mask used by Li Village to dance the Nuo dance is not usually used, so I pile it here."

"Oh." Wu Qing bowed his hands to Zhan Laodao again, and then went out to chase Shi Haihai.
