in the name of evil

Chapter 23

"Tianshi Mansion Taoist Culture Development Center?"

Jiang Li was overjoyed, he remembered that he had gone there to burn incense with Uncle Chen during the college entrance examination, but in the end he did not pass the exam.

Is there a possibility that if you don't burn incense, you will do worse in the exam than this.Chen Yixuan once asked him this question, and then Jiang Li bought a bunch of study materials for his junior high school junior.

Looking at the time, it took less than two hours to go back and forth by subway, and before he had time to go to Uncle Chen's house, Jiang Li decided to go to Tianshi Mansion for certification first.

After picking up the garbage left over from breakfast, Jiang Li hurried out the door.

When he walked downstairs, he found that the shop where he bought breakfast in the morning was surrounded by many people, yelling about "profiteers". Jiang Li felt strange, but he didn't have time to watch the excitement, so he went straight to the subway station not far away.

Tianshi Mansion is located on a mountain in the southwest of Jiangcheng. The mountain has two peaks, and there is a natural bridge connecting the two peaks in the middle. In the middle of the bridge is a huge peak platform. The peaks are shaped like a dragon and a tiger. Hence the name Longhu Mountain.

There is a Taoist temple on each of the two peaks and the peak platform. The peak platform is a forbidden area of ​​the Tianshi Mansion and is not open to the public. Worship is mainly done in the Taoist temples on the two peaks.

People generally call the one on the Dragon Peak the Dragon Palace, and the one on the Tiger Peak the Tiger Palace. The two Taoist temples pray for different blessings. The Dragon Palace is mainly for health, peace, and good weather, while the Tiger Palace is for marriage. , seeking a career, seeking a wealth of money, Jiang Li was the incense in the Tiger Palace back then.

When Jiang Li arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain, it was just after two o'clock.

There is a parking lot at the foot of the mountain. Vendors selling incense and snacks are gathered outside the parking lot. It looks very lively. This also shows that the incense in Tianshi Mansion is very prosperous and there are many pilgrims coming and going.

The incense sold by these hawkers is not used to burn in the Tianshi Mansion, but to worship the Taoist gods along the way up the mountain.

In the process of going up the mountain, occasionally there will be some ancient pavilions beside the stairs, for pilgrims to rest, but also to enshrine some traditional gods, and burn the incense bought from small vendors all the way up, and wait until the Taoist temple. When the ancestors of the Tianshi Mansion kneel down and worship, all wishes will come true.

Of course, you can also buy some incense ranging from [-] to [-] in the Taoist temple to burn. The more money you have, the more sincere your heart will be.

At that time, Jiang Li paid homage all the way to the mountain and burned eight thousand eight incense sticks. He should not be able to do it during the college entrance examination.

This time Jiang Li didn't intend to go all the way to worship, because he and these old gods could be regarded as colleagues in the future, and it would be too unfamiliar to talk about these things among colleagues.

When others worship God, I go up the ladder, and when others burn incense, I light cigarettes.

Just like that, Jiang Li wobbled along the stairs on the mountain to the Tiger Hall, where the three big characters of Xuantan Hall were written on the hall.

Jiang Li followed a young Taoist priest who was in charge of guiding him to the hall, and the young Taoist priest asked respectfully:
"Excuse me, is the layman coming here to ask for a lottery or to pay homage?"

"Me?" Jiang Li thought for a while, "I'm here to apply."

"Oh." The little Taoist nodded: "Does the layman have a graduation certificate from 985 University?"

"Huh? What the hell?" Jiang Li was dumbfounded.

"If not, you can also graduate from 211 University majoring in religion." The little Taoist said politely. Seeing Jiang Li's expression of embarrassment, he added: "We can also consider graduating from the Taoist Academy."

Jiang Li was numb.

roll!What a fucking roll!

"Then what, I'm not applying for a Taoist priest, I'm applying for a cleaner." Jiang Li smiled sheepishly.

"Cleaners? We don't need it." The little Taoist priest was a little puzzled. He didn't remember that Tianshifu had ever hired cleaners, and they, the little Taoist priests, were always responsible for cleaning.

Seeing the question mark on the little Taoist priest's face, Jiang Li understood that not everyone in the Tianshi Mansion knew about the existence of cleaners and ghosts. It seemed that even in the responsible department, only the top management knew these secrets.

So Jiang Li changed his words: "Please ask the boss, where is the person in charge of our Tianshi Mansion, can you inform me that there are cleaners who need real-name authentication."

"This..." The little Taoist was a little hesitant. People with unclear backgrounds casually wanted to meet those busy bosses in Tianshi Mansion, which was beyond the rules no matter what.

"How about this." Jiang Li leaned closer to the little Taoist priest and said in a low voice, "You can inform me, how about putting on a stick of [-] incense sticks when I see someone?"

The little Taoist's eyes lit up immediately, this is all achievement.

So he nodded and smiled respectfully: "Layman, wait a moment, I'm going to find my master."

"Okay." Jiang Li nodded slightly, and also returned a smile.

After a while, a middle-aged Taoist priest came from the back hall, followed by a respectful young Taoist priest.

The middle-aged Taoist greeted Jiang Li politely: "What do you call a layman?"

"Jiang Li."

"Jiang Jushi is indeed a good-looking talent, among dragons and phoenixes, I can tell at a glance that you are destined for my Heavenly Master's Mansion."

The middle-aged Taoist laughed loudly: "My Dao name is Qingyan, just call me Dao name, I will take you to see my uncle right now."

Jiang Li heard that he wanted to salute with his palms together, but felt that doing this in a Taoist temple was too provocative, but he didn't know how Taoist priests salute, so he had to shake hands with Qingyan in the end.

"Trouble Master Qingyan."

"Please follow me." Qingyan's attitude is very polite.

The little Taoist was hesitant to speak, and quietly tugged at the corner of Qingyan's clothes, muttering in a low voice: "Master, the incense money"

With a serious face, Qingyan lectured: "What kind of incense money, Layman Jiang will come to our Tianshi Mansion to offer incense for free."

When Jiang Li heard it, he became interested: "Then I will order [-] first, and then follow the Taoist leader."

Qing Yan's smile faltered, and he looked at Jiang Li quietly, without saying a word.

"Just kidding, Taoist priest, please lead the way." Jiang Li said with a smile.

Only then did Qing Yan restore his smile, and led Jiang Li to the depths of the Taoist temple.

The little Taoist stayed in the front hall aggrieved, and continued to entertain the pilgrims in the hall with his brothers and sisters.

Following Qingyan, he walked through the back hall of Xuantan Hall, left the main hall, and walked towards the forbidden area of ​​Tianshi Mansion.

Along the way, Qingyan introduced the layout and important buildings of the Tianshi Mansion, and from time to time gave Jiang Li some popular science about the Taoist gods and gods on the roadside sculptures.

Both of them tacitly didn't mention the cleaner. Jiang Li observed silently. From the moment they crossed the bridge, the little Taoist priests in the blue Taoist robes in the Xuantan Hall were no longer around.

"This is the core of my Celestial Master's Mansion, the Celestial Master's Hall, and I have only just qualified to go to the Celestial Master's Hall to practice Taoism, and the juniors below are not eligible to enter it."

Qingyan enthusiastic introduction:
"My uncle's surname is Zhang. He is the direct descendant of Tianshi Mansion. You can call him Daoist Zhang. I can't disclose his Taoist name. If he wants to, he will tell you. He will personally receive him later." you."

"What about you, Taoist priest?" Jiang Li asked.

"I don't know much about the cleaners. I don't have enough cultivation, and my uncle didn't mention anything more to me." Qingyan shook his head: "You just listen to his arrangement later."

Jiang Li nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

The two walked across the bridge and came to the Taoist temple on the peak platform.

Compared with the Dragon Palace and the Tiger Palace, this Taoist temple seems a bit simple, but the sense of simplicity left by the years of erosion, let Jiang Li understand that this is called returning to nature.

Qingyan asked Jiang Li to wait a while, and was about to report when he saw a young man in pajamas with the printed rice dragon Limu running out of the Taoist temple with his head in his arms. Things, be careful, I will run away like my father, don't force me to elope with my wife!"

A Taoist priest who looked similar to Qingyan jumped up directly from the courtyard of the Taoist temple, landed outside the Taoist temple, and cursed:
"My wife, you actually bought this kind of thing. You don't like it with so many daughters from aristocratic families. I thought you were devoted to cultivating the Tao. I didn't expect to hold a balloon every day and call my wife. I will send you a rebellious son for your father today!" !"

Jiang Li looked at this scene expressionlessly, then turned his head and asked Qingyan: "Why did the Taoist priest lead a false path?"

　Regarding all the sects that appear in the book, the author will carry out some small magic changes. I hope everyone will not pursue the authenticity too much. Just treat this as an overhead world.
