Please come down when it gets dark

Chapter 78
There was still a hundred or so meters away from Luoshen Temple, and I saw a dozen men and women in suits and leather shoes gathered at the door.

I saw the three of us walking towards the Taoist temple, just like at the foot of the mountain, and one of them shouted at us:

"How did you get up? Did no one stop you at the foot of the mountain?

Luoshen Temple is closed today, please come back in two days.”

Before this person finished speaking, another person had already recognized Zhuge Zhengqi's very recognizable face.

He grabbed his companion and whispered something in his ear.

Then he turned to us with a smile on his face and said:

"Master Zhuge, are you back?
Just now our boss was still talking about you, saying why he didn't see you.
He's new here, and it's his first time going out with the boss, so don't be familiar with him. "

While this man was speaking, the other people around him had consciously separated, making way for the three of us to pass.

Zhuge Zhengqi turned into a foolish look again, and when he walked to these people, he giggled a few times while drooling.

When I walked into the Taoist temple, I heard someone talking behind me, saying:
"Isn't this a mentally handicapped? Why are you so polite to a mentally handicapped?"

"Shut up! Don't let him hear you.
Those who scold me, please don't implicate me."

Hearing the discussion, Zhuge Zhengqi smiled slightly, turned around and walked in front of the gate, closed the gate of the Taoist temple, and put the latch on the gate before the people outside could react.

At this time, I happened to see Liu Jin coming out of the hall holding tea.

Seeing the three of us coming back, he was stunned for a moment, then pouted at the hall, indicating that there were more outsiders inside.

Before Zhuge Zhengqi could make a move, Bu Liuxian's voice came from the hall:

"Liu Jin, did the benefactors outside come in to borrow the toilet?

Don't be so unreasonable, don't care about eating and drinking, can you still ignore Lazard? "

Just as Liu Jin was about to answer, his elder brother spoke first and said:
"Master, it is the disciple who went out to give lectures in righteous spirit and came back."

"Hey, are you back?

Where is Mr. Hokuto?Did you come back together too?
You don't know how to do things, you kid, so call me in advance, and I'll go down the mountain with gilt to pick you up.

Third brother, sit down for a while.

So what - my apprentice is back, I have to go out and pick it up."

At this time, another old man's voice came from the hall:
"Lao Liu, from what you said, isn't your apprentice my apprentice?

It's been a while since I saw Zhengqi, let alone, I still like his big round face."

While talking, two old men came out of the hall one after the other.

The one walking in front is the temple master here——Bu Liuxian, and the smell of urine on his body can be smelled from a long distance away.

Behind him was an old man in his sixties. Compared with the slovenly Bu Liuxian, this old man was more like an old Taoist priest with a bit of morality.

He was dressed in a bunt Tang suit, his white hair was not messed up, and he wore a pair of rimless glasses on his face.

However, compared to Bu Liuxian's white-haired and childlike face, this old man is still a bit inferior. Several very obvious age spots have appeared on his face.

He said he was here to greet Zhuge Zhengqi, but since he walked out of the Taoist temple, his eyes have been rolling on Qiu Beidou's face.

The old man looked at Qiu Beidou with a smile, and said to Bu Liuxian:
"Lao Liu, why are there still strangers, why don't you introduce yourself to me?"

Before Bu Liuxian could speak, Fatty Qiu slightly bowed and said:
"The Daoist Beidou of my Zhongyuan Temple is my junior brother Shen Lian.
At the invitation of the master of the temple here, he came to the temple to discuss the Taoism. "

It seems that Fatty Qiu knows the origin of the old man opposite, and even made up my identity
The old man smiled and nodded, then looked at Bu Liuxian, the bun on his gilt head, and Zhuge Zhengqi's shawl hair.Then he smiled and said to Qiu Beidou:
"Mr. Beidou, you and your junior brother are also Taoist priests.

But why didn't the two of you wear a Taoist bun like our sixth son? "

Qiu Beidou responded fluently, saying:

"There are different schools of Taoism. Our school pays attention to cultivating the mind rather than the body."

One sentence blocked the old man, and I gave Fatty Qiu a thumbs up in my heart.

Remembering that there are still outside the gate at the foot of the mountain, those dog legs of his, I feel a little nervous in my heart, and I also followed Qiu Beidou and said:
"Brother is right
Old benefactor, you are also interesting. There are a lot of veterans in the world who don’t keep their hair in buns. Why are you just staring at us brothers?
Are you a member of the Quanzhen Disciplinary Committee?

Don't worry about our monks' affairs, be careful not to go out on rainy days, and be careful not to be struck by thunder."

The old man still had a smile on his face, but he said:
"Eh? Little master, how do you say such vulgar words?
Can monks speak like that? "

"I practice morality but not my speech, so it's up to you.

If you talk any more, I'll fix you."

I was about to give the old man a slap in the face, but the old man gave a "puchi" laugh and said:

"That's because I was talking too much, it's good to come this time
I want to learn Taoism in front of the two masters."

At this time, Bu Liuxian said:
"Third brother, the two Taoists came all the way.

you let them breathe first
Gilt, you clean up the room in the west wing.

Invite the two brothers to go in and rest.
So what, you will go down the mountain with Zhengqi in a while, take 300 yuan and we will also have a tooth-beating ceremony
Isn't that right, my third brother is here, and two senior brothers who are debating Taoism are also here, double happiness."

"In front of the third brother, how can I make the sixth brother pay you?
The people outside listen, go prepare a banquet, make it at the foot of the mountain, and serve it while it's hot
Sixth child, I'm also borrowing your precious land to pay respects to the two masters."

"Third brother, how can I ask you to pay for my three-acre land?
Gilt, is your child dead?don't hurry
Add another hundred."

While the old brothers were fighting, Qiu Beidou dragged me to hide in the empty room where I used to live.

After I came in and sat down, I said to Fatty Qiu:
"I said brother, do you know that old man outside?
Listening to their third brother and sixth child's intimacy, if I hadn't heard Zhuge's words before, I would have thought that the two of them were real brothers. "

Fatty Qiu sat on the camp bed, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Don't underestimate that old man,
Do you know Fuxingshe, the predecessor of the military command?
He and Bu Liuxian were both one of the Eighteen Arhats of the Fuxing Society.

At that time, on this Luoshen Mountain, 16 of the Eighteen Arhats died, leaving only the two of them."
