Chapter 21 Three Taoist Temples

021 Three Taoist Temples

"Don't you want to know about the pig demon?"

Following Li Jin into the carriage heading into the city, Xiang Jiannan didn't say much after he sat down.

In the end, the master agreed to let me go into the city, but I just felt something was wrong.

After expressing his confidence in his own cultivation, Li Jin had another sentence to say.

"Don't worry, old Taoist priest. As the saying goes, everyone dies since ancient times."

It was because of this sentence that the still hesitant master made up his mind. He happily took out a few taels of silver and even smiled as he sent them to the car.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that the master is very relieved after hearing Li Jin's words. There is actually such a saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty! "I want to, is it convenient to say?"

Lifting the curtain and looking outside the car, Xiang Jiannan saw the scenery in front of him slowly receding.

He found himself a little nervous, probably because it was his first time traveling far away.

The county town is actually not far from Ping'an Town, but for me it is like a new world.

If you are not careful, you will become timid.

"That pig demon came from Xiaoxing Mountain, three hundred miles away. He was one step ahead of us when we found him."

Li Jin didn't tell Xiang Jiannan about the burning of the pig demon's cave, as he thought it was unnecessary.

Destroying evidence was not uncommon in the Zhou Dynasty.

According to the current situation, Ping'an Town should be able to return to its previous peace temporarily. As for how long it will last, it depends on what the people behind the scenes think.

Probably they didn't expect the appearance of two troublesome Taoists. They had been hiding in the Taoist temple for decades, and no one had ever heard of their extraordinary qualities before.

There are different opinions within their Demon-Suppressing Bureau about this matter. The fact that the two Taoists were able to subdue the third-grade pig demon proves that they are still very powerful. No matter what the reason, they have made a contribution to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After the rewards from the court are distributed, they will first settle all the reported cases.

After all, the accumulation time is quite long.

We will definitely continue to pay attention to Ping'an Town in the future. At present, there is really nothing to investigate. Once the pig monster died, the clues have actually been cut off.

"The pig demon came because of the female ghost?"

Xiang Jiannan had never been to Xiaoxing Mountain, and this was the first time he heard this name. The pig demon must have asked for a very high price as he came from three hundred miles away to Ping'an Temple to collect a debt.

"From the information we received, yes."

Li Jin was actually just guessing in his mind, and he said affirmatively that although the Demon-Suppressing Division had hastily closed the case in Ping'an Town, it did not affect his confidence in making a conclusion.

The reason is nothing else, just because they are called the Demon Subjugation Division, and they have nothing but confidence!

"It is inconvenient to disclose other matters."

Riding in a carriage to the gate of a temple, Li Jin and Xiang Jiannan formally said goodbye.

When entering the city, some guards tried to stop them and wanted to get on the car for a search, but Li Jin glared at them and just waved his badge in front of them. The guards immediately turned around and shouted and led the way.

All outsiders stepped aside to welcome His Excellency into the city.

"I'm going to a Taoist temple, and this place seems to be a temple."

After jumping off the carriage, Xiang Jiannan immediately noticed something was wrong. The monks gathered at the door were too dazzling, with a sea of ​​bald heads coming in and out. Although there were many pilgrims, their brilliance could not be covered up.

I could hear such mighty Buddhist music before the carriage even turned the corner.

“That’s right.”

Motioning Xiang Jiannan to look behind him, Li Jin felt that this young Taoist priest should go out for a walk more often.

It seemed that his master did not tell him that the Taoist temple and the Buddhist temple in the city were actually in the same place, separated by only a street, and had been facing each other for many years.

This is too miserable.

As Li Jin reminded him, Xiang Jiannan turned around and suddenly felt embarrassed. The Taoist temple he was looking for was actually behind him, but it was a little different from what he had imagined. To be specific, he almost didn't recognize it.

It is not much bigger than Ping'an Temple. There are three of them in a triangular shape, standing far away behind the broken bricks and tiles. There is weeds all around. If there were not a few banners hanging there, I might have mistaken them for abandoned buildings that were about to be demolished.

Taiqing Temple, Yuqing Temple, and Shangqing Temple.

The name is quite big.

Fortunately, Li Jin confirmed it in time, and fortunately, both of his eyes were 1.5.

It's just across the street, is the difference that big? Find a random place, it's better than here, this person is squeezed, and no one can see him.

"Are there any other Taoist temples in the city?"

As a Taoist priest himself, Xiang Jiannan felt a little disgusted, so he turned around and glanced at Li Jin.

There is competition in any industry, and it seems that the Taoist temples in the city are not very popular.

"No more, young Taoist priest, go in by yourself."

After climbing onto the carriage, Li Jin showed half of his face from the window again:

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

"All the Taoist temples in the city are here. I have something else to do and cannot accompany you. When I have time another day, I will go to Ping An Temple to see you and the old Taoist priest."

No, you'd better get me out of the city first.

Watching Li Jin's carriage moving forward little by little, Xiang Jiannan felt a little regretful. He felt that the three temples did not look very peaceful, and without anyone accompanying him, he suddenly did not dare to go and disturb them alone.

No wonder the master looked down upon this place. Judging from the appearance alone, these Taoist temples are not up to standard. Compared with the current Ping An Temple, they are simply lifeless.

"This donor, are you here to burn incense and pray to God?"

While Xiang Jiannan was hesitating, a few monks who had just finished chatting across the street noticed him.

A stranger, it should be his first time here. Judging from the carriage he just rode, he might be an important person. The man with a cold aura has already left. It's time to go over and ask him.

What is so good about the three dilapidated Taoist temples? Even if this donor really came here for them, he must be very disappointed after seeing them now.

It all showed in his eyes.

"Is there anyone in those Taoist temples?"

After a long while, no one appeared in front of the three Taoist temples, so Xiang Jiannan asked the monk next to him.

He wore casual clothes when he went into the city today. His master told him not to show off. The small change was enough for an ordinary family to live on for a long time.

"Yes, but not often."

A monk who was very familiar with the situation of the three Taoist temples said with a smile: "Our temple is much more effective than theirs. Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Master, are you here to solicit business?

Not used to the smiling faces of the monks beside him, Xiang Jiannan just looked at the Taoist temple. He admitted that the temple's incense was better than the Taoist temple, but he was not convinced:

"I heard that those Taoist temples are quite spiritual, so I came here today to take a look."

"The donor may have been deceived."

He raised his hand to call on the monks beside him to follow, and the leading monk suddenly took the lead: "Donor, please follow me. Whether it works or not will be clear later."

After saying this, four or five monks in front of them, exhausted, headed towards the Taoist temple.

The master still understands me.

Not knowing what the group of monks were going to the Taoist temple for, Xiang Jiannan was just happy that someone was leading the way for him. Just as he was dozing off, the pillow arrived.

He immediately kept a distance and followed the monks towards the Yuqing Temple in the middle.

Monks and Taoists, there's something interesting to watch.
