When I was a Taoist

Chapter 680 You Are Not Worthy To Mention His Name 2
I took Daoist Fuyun out of this hell on earth, and buried him on Fangcun Mountain, which he once admired the most.Although there is a scum here, it is a holy place anyway.I think burying him here is also the best reward for him.

The rumors of murderous ghosts for half a year have been deciphered, and I entrusted some pilgrims who often come to Fangcun Mountain to pass on the news.In addition, no one died tragically in the same way again, so people gradually forgot about this incident, and Fangcunshan regained its previous popularity.After that day, suddenly a group of Taoist priests came down from the top of the mountain, made a bow to me, and said with a smile: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for solving the danger of Fangcun Mountain. From now on, Fangcun Mountain will be taken over by us. The name is dishonored."

Until the night before I left, I still had some doubts in my heart, and I still haven't solved the mystery.There have been rumors about Fangcun Mountain in the past six months. Why didn't the seniors in Sanxing Cave come forward to save them, but instead allowed bastards like old guards to continue to do evil.If I don't show up, I'm afraid it will really fulfill his wish to transform into a human.After that, no one will ever know the secret again.

I also stayed during this time, helping these Taoist priests reopen the mountain to welcome guests, and also performed a large-scale ritual.To the outside world, we claim that this ritual is to cleanse the evil spirits of the past six months. In fact, everyone knows that this ritual is done for Taoist Fuyun, and his soul has been integrated into everyone's heart.

Just the day before I left, I was sitting in front of Taoist Fuyun’s tomb looking at the starry sky in a daze. The new Taoist priest from Fangcunshan came over and smiled at me: “It’s so late, why are you still awake. "

"Daoist, didn't you sleep too?" I smiled, and the Taoist came over and put a stick of incense on Fuyun, and said with emotion: "This time, it's really thanks to you and Fuyun. Otherwise, Fangcunshan would really die." Falling into the hands of that monster, hundreds of years of reputation will be destroyed!"

Shaking my head, I said sincerely: "We are all Taoists, and we also cultivate the Tao. I must do these things, and I will never hesitate to die, so the Taoist priest does not need to thank me any more."

"If everyone can have pure Dao heart like you, He Chou Dao will not flourish."

The Taoist priest nodded, then stared at me and asked: "I think you seem to have something on your mind. Since you are going down the mountain tomorrow, why not seize the time now and ask all the questions you want to ask."

Hearing this, I hesitated for a moment before asking: "Master Dao, you all came from the top of the mountain, but I also went to the top of the mountain half a month ago, and there is no other special place except for a tree. I dare to ask where you guys come from. Since you already know about the wolfish ambition of this guy who guards the way, why didn't you show up to stop it earlier, but only after sacrificing Fuyun?"

I threw out all my questions in one breath, the Daoist sighed lightly, and did not answer my question, but instead asked me: "Fellow Daoist, do you believe in destiny?"

"I used to believe it, but now I don't believe it. My life is my own, and I only control it in my own hands. Even if the sky wants me to die, I will fight against the sky!" I said confidently.

After listening to my words, the Taoist leader didn't comment, just nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Then do you know, what is Tao?"

I fell silent, because I suddenly discovered that I actually had nothing about the definition of "Tao".Cultivating Taoism, we practice Taoism, so what is the real Tao?
Seeing that I was silent, the Taoist priest said slowly: "I have been practicing Taoism for decades, and I can barely comprehend the true meaning of the so-called Tao. In fact, Tao is around us. In my opinion, it is nothing more than our destiny. reincarnation cause and effect."

But I didn't quite agree, and asked instead: "Master Taoist, since what you say is your destiny, then the Tao that we pursue all our lives is our destiny?"

The Taoist priest nodded and said leisurely: "That's right, cultivating the Tao is cultivating one's life. We don't want our lives to be arranged, so we want to go against the sky and change our lives in the end. Just like that monster, it takes effort and even He sacrificed his disciples just to change his own life. In my opinion, what he did was nothing more than a way of cultivating the Tao.”

"He is a deranged villain, and he is not worthy to be compared with Tao." I clenched my fists and shouted.

The Daoist took a look at me, and didn't refute my words. He just sighed and smiled bitterly: "In fact, everyone has a Dao in their hearts, but some people choose to give up, and some people pursue it in a paranoid way. You are not If you want to ask me why I just watched him do evil but remain indifferent, I can only tell you part of the reason now, which is not decided by me. Including handing over Fangcunshan to him, all of this is controlled by them."

"They?" I found that when the Taoist priest mentioned these two words, his face immediately showed reverence, just like Taoist Fuyun respected the old man who guarded the way before.Thinking of the direction they went down the mountain, I instantly thought of the four seniors in Samsung Cave!
"Could it be that you mean..."

I was just about to ask, but the Taoist leader suddenly shook his head and said, "There is no need to ask any more, everything is over. The seniors asked me to bring a sentence, this is a test for you to stand up from behind, and you have passed it." If Fangcunshan encounters disaster in the future, I hope you can help again."

I was stunned for a moment, then I cupped my hands towards the top of the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, senior, I am here to swear that if Fangcun Mountain encounters disaster, even if I go to hell, I will never refuse."

The next day I packed up my mood and went down the mountain, got on the plane and rushed back to Longcheng.It took a full month to go out this time, and it has been half a month since Shangguanmu returned to the Daoist Society.It won't be too late to rush back to the headquarters to inquire after I return to Dragon City to arrange the affairs of the branch.

I suddenly appeared at home, which really surprised Tingting and the three of them.Especially when I knew that my strength had been completely recovered, and it was a blessing in disguise that I had improved a lot, both Fanchen and Erha were jealous and shouted: "The two of us are here to help you set up a branch, and we are busy practicing, but we don't have you!" It’s been a month. Treat, you must treat!”

"Okay, today the three of us don't go home until we're drunk!"

In the evening, I bought a lot of cooked food and wine, and specially bought a few pig's trotters for Erha, so that he could eat enough at one time.As for the new members of my family, Qingniao and Houqing, I bought them their favorite things.The blue bird happily danced around me, and Hou Qing forced a smile and said, "Thank you, master."

After I came back, I also secretly asked about Tingting Houqing, and she said with a smile: "Houqing has never had any abnormalities in this period of time, and she is loyal to the members of the family, especially the blue bird. What’s more, I’ll be by Jade Bird’s side whenever I’m free. Moreover, there have been a few times when Daoist meetings encountered more difficult ghosts, and every time Houqing solved them easily.”

After hearing these words, I was a little relieved, but I couldn't completely relax on Hou Qing.We have to wait for his spiritual wisdom to completely transform before he truly becomes our family member.
