Chapter 364: Otherworldly Taoist

At first, Master Xia thought Li Kan was joking, but after asking carefully, what he said was true.

Master Xia knew in his heart how much he had, maybe he could handle ordinary little ghosts, but the house that Li Kan mentioned was said to be a very ferocious evil ghost. Anyway, with his strength, he felt his heart trembling when he walked to the house.

Ordinary people just feel uncomfortable because they cannot sense this kind of breath.

But Master Xia has his own rules of conduct. Since Li Kan saved him once, he must help with this. As for how to help, he still has to think about it carefully. He can't just put himself in to repay favors.

In fact, Master Xia could completely reject him because he had asked Li Kan to communicate with others before, but now that Li Kan saved him, he could barely owe him.

But Master Xia asked himself that he could not do such a thing, one was a small favor and the other was a life-saving grace. Why did the two people clear up?

"I can't do such shameless things." Master Xia thought to himself. This is also the reason why he can only survive in a small town.

Sometimes, their industry not only depends on strength, but in fact, when their strength has been hovering at a low level, they rely on fooling around, looking at them, and even flatteringly flattering.

Then he gained the favor of the powerful and was invited to be a guest official, and he would win over his emotions if he had something to do. If he had good luck, he would have no worries in his life. He could still hold the banner of the tiger's skin and live a leisurely life.

Even if there is a leak in the middle and someone else is just a fool, there is no need to be afraid. They have always known the right way to do things, so they are just kicked out. It’s amazing that you beat you up, and it won’t be a big deal.

All they need to do is to get up and pat the dust on their bodies, sort out the income from these days, and change their places and continue to cheat.

Yes, it’s a fraud! Master Xia believes that some of his peers are no longer worthy of doing this industry, and they are just cheating under the banner of this industry, which is completely embarrassing their career!

Master Xia has always had a concern, that is, his reputation in this industry. Although there are not many scum now, and even he knows not many, he feels that the trend is moving closer to the fraud. When more people reveal themselves in the future, their reputation in this industry will be ruined.

Master Xia disdains to join those people and has always pursued someone without losing his true intentions. However, in recent days, because of the courtesy of Miss Lin’s family, he has indeed made him look as arrogant as you and forget what kind of person he is.

Today's assassination suddenly woke him up. He remembered that his ability was a bit lacking. In addition to catching a little devil, doing rituals for others, etc., even his punches and foot skills were very common in other aspects.

One or two ordinary people can knock him to the ground.

So when Li Kan mentioned the fact that he was still the hungry ghost in the house, he felt unsure.

Those who practice Taoism emphasize self-cultivation and nature. Catching ghosts is just a side job, and not all ghosts are caught. What they catch are ghosts that harm the world.

Logically speaking, the evil ghost in that house has killed the owner of the house. It can be said that it has killed people's lives and he can surrender.

But this evil ghost is powerful, and it has been hiding in the house and never comes out to do evil, and Master Xia doesn't want to mess with it.

When Master Xia first came to Lanxian Town, he saw that the ghostly aura was soaring. He thought it was time to show off his operations, but he came to the door of the house and retreated because although his strength was not good, he could still see whether the enemy could beat him.

If you want to destroy this evil ghost, you may have to conquer your life with your life, and you cannot be punished or violated.

I originally thought that the house would be empty all the time, but I didn't expect that there would be a ignorant guy who dared to buy it, and he knew that it was a haunted place.

"How about Master Xia? Help me, I will never treat you badly." Li Kan said with a smile. Although he doesn't have much money now, he can keep the person steady first.

If Master Xia spoke up, he would not be a gentleman on the beam or a thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor.

Unexpectedly, Master Xia just pondered for a moment and smiled and said, "The evil ghosts there are not simple. How about the young master giving me one night to prepare? We will meet in that house tomorrow morning."

In the end, Master Xia made up his mind to agree. Those who practice Taoism could more or less feel some future things. He felt that if Li Kan was rejected, even though nothing would happen, he would be like this in his life. No one would be willing to do nothing for the rest of his life, so he decided to seek wealth and honor in danger!

Master Xia didn't know that Li Kan had no wealth for him. What he could get might be a kind of insight between life and death when facing a strong enemy.

"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow." Li Kan thought for a while and said, thinking that he should have to prepare something.

The two of them parted. After Li Kan put the plaque in the yard and was about to leave, he saw Lin Chang leading the twenty or so people carrying a pillar toward the place.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Li Kan was so amused and cried. After feeling the crack in his arm, he hurried to help lift it.

As soon as Li Kan took over, the person holding the pillar felt a lighter in an instant, but it was only as heavy as an ordinary big bag, and all this was because Li Kan took it in front.

"This person is born with divine power!" Everyone sighed in their hearts.

"Come on! Just put it in the yard, thank you everyone." Li Kan took out a little silver and put it in Lin Chang's hand and said, "Please drink, brothers."

After hearing this, everyone who came to help smiled. Lin Chang thanked him again and took them away.

At this time, it was already a little dark. Li Kan could feel the cold breath in the front yard. He forced himself to stop his thoughts of going to find out, locked the door and left.

He has never dealt with these things, so he should wait until the professionals come tomorrow.

Li Kan bought some food on the street and started rushing to Aunt Qin and the others.

For some reason, Li Kan also saw many beggars begging here in the town. Although they were not much better, they could occasionally get some leftovers, which were still hot. It was a rare delicacy in this cold season.

In general, it is much better than the rarely visited dilapidated house where Aunt Qin and the others stay.

"Is it because of the peers' rejection?" Aunt Qin and the others were indeed easily bullied.

But it doesn't matter. As long as things go well, they will be able to live in a big house soon, and then Li Kan will leave them some money so that they will not have to worry about food and drink in their entire lives.

This is Li Kan's reward for saving their lives.

When he returned to the dilapidated house, Li Kan thought about it and did not tell them about his purchase of the house. He should handle the matter first and give them a mirror.

Li Kan asked them some things about people like Master Xia, but unexpectedly, there were really Taoist priests in this world, and there were quite a few of them.

There are also Taoist priests in Li Kan's world. After listening to Aunt Qin's description, Li Kan felt that the two were similar.

They follow the teachings, perform the etiquette of entering the teachings, accept various precepts, and live a religious life that is regarded as pure and lonely by the secular people but is actually high-standard and elegant. As the main disseminator and image spokesperson of the profound Taoist culture, Taoist priests must attract the church members, preach and preach in some mysterious ways, do their best to their religion, and at the same time fulfill their own practice. Taoist priests have a more casual temperament than Buddhist monks. Therefore, they are also extremely eye-catching roles in daily social life.

The Taoist religion in that world, Li Kan, regards "Tao" as the highest belief, and Taoist priests are the general name of believers who believe in Taoist doctrines and practice Taoism. The Taixiao Lang Book Book says: "People walk the great way and call them Taoist priests." The name of Taoist priests began in the Han Dynasty. At that time, the scope of reference was wide. In addition to the believers of "Zhengyi Alliance Wei Dao" and "Taiping Taoist" sects, alchemists, sorcerers and some Taoists can also be called Taoist priests. Kou Qian of the Northern Wei Dynasty reformed the Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist, and stipulated that Taoists could set up altars at home and worship day and night, without having to become monks to practice. During the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Quanzhen Taoist and others were promoted, and Taoist priests did not accumulate.

If a wife does not eat meat, she must become a monk and live in the jungle. Thus, she formed a monk's Taoist priest who became a monk and a Taoist priest who was a monk. Taoist priests are generally passed down from masters and disciples. Taoism believes that if you do not accept a teacher, the Tao will not surrender; and when preaching and saving people, you must choose a person with a famous family and a pure and kind nature. If you want to enter the Taoist priest and become a Taoist priest, you must bring scriptures and precepts, build a talisman and a vegetarian hall in the Taoist ceremonies, and be in a quiet room. Disciples must bring tokens such as gold, silver, jade and silk to receive scriptures. After entering the Tao, they only serve the Tao, keep the fast and worship, recite scriptures, burn incense and burn lamps, and do not have any dust. The name of "Taoist" began in the Han Dynasty.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the title of Taoist priests was even mixed with the title of Buddhist monks. It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that Taoist priests and corresponding titles such as Taoist priests, feathers, feathers, feathers, feathers, yellow guan, etc., gradually became the special title of Taoist clergy. As the number of women entering the Tao increased, there were also titles such as females. Generally speaking, they were respectfully called Taoist priests. "Family Words" said: "Those who do not eat will not die and will not die will not die." "Shuowen Jiezi": "Immortals: immortals go away. Follow people from the mountains." "Shi Ming" "Old but not die is called immortals. Immortals move. I moved into mountains. Therefore, they made their name to be a mountain next to people." Ge Hong wrote the book "Baopuzi", and believed that mountains and forests are the Taoists avoided.

The place where the hidden medicine is emphasized: "There is no Tao in the mountains and forests, but those who do Tao must enter the mountains and forests. Since they want to stay away from the fishy smell, they are pure." ("Baopuzi Nei Chapter·Volume 10, Mingben") also said: "Therefore, Taoist priests who cooperate with magic medicines must enter famous mountains, not just ordinary mountains, which is why they are." ("Baopuzi Nei Chapter·Volume 4·Jindan") He believed that returning to the mountains and forests was a very solemn and mysterious thing. "Famous mountains are places where the combined medicines" was the main external condition for him to choose the alchemy land. He believed that religion was a sacred homework, and "adjust to enter famous mountains" and stay away from ordinary people. People who are Tao "are all floating and extinct in secluded mountains and forests."

In Taoist scriptures, male Taoist priests are also called the Kandao, female Taoist priests are called Kundao accordingly. When Huangguan refers specifically to male Taoist priests, female Taoist priests are called female Guan. Taoist priests praise each other for Taoist fellow Taoist priests, Taoist brothers, etc., and the same applies to female Taoist priests. Layers and believers can also call them this way. Some Taoist priests enjoy special honorific titles, such as Zhang Daoling, Kou Qianzhi, and the leaders of the Taoist priests in the future, all enjoy the titles of "Tianshi". Those outstanding, highly respected, and knowledgeable among Taoist priests are often respected by the internal and external teachings as real people, gentlemen, high-ranking scholars, etc. Some of these honorific titles are also granted by the court, which is a rare honor. In Taoist priests, sometimes they are given corresponding honors according to the actual level of practice of Taoist priests, as recorded in the (Tang Six Classics·Shenzhen Department): "There are three numbers of Taoist priests who practice, one day the mage, and the second day the majesty master. The third one is a lawyer, whose virtue is high and thoughtful is called a master." (Three Caves of Taoist cultivation ritual) divided Taoist priests into 9 types, including Taoist priests in the cave gods, Taoist priests in the Gaoxuan tribe, Taoist priests in the Shengxuan tribe, and Taoist priests in the Xuanyi clan into 8 types, including the Zhengyi clan, the Daoist priests, the Daoist priests, etc., which is also the classification of Taoist priests. Familiar with Xuanwen scriptures and religious rituals, when holding religious rituals, they hold high seats in the middle and high positions in the Dharma Hall. Those who have high Taoist priests are called Gaogong. The presidency palace Taoist priests who observe affairs have corresponding titles due to their positions, such as the abbot, abbot, Gaogong, supervisor, deacon, and the so-called "Three Capitals, Five Lords, Eighteen Heads". After the rise of the Quanzhen Sect, it was stipulated that Taoist priests could not get married and had to become monks and live in palaces. Only those Taoist priests who had wives but did not live in palaces were called fire-residence Taoist priests, or directly called fire-residence. Taoist priests who traveled outside to seek truth and ask about Taoism were called Youfang Taoist priests.

The origin of the concept of immortality was also very long. It was found in the prehistoric times. Until the Warring States Period, it was widely spread and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Immortals and nobles became the common goal of the emperors and nobles at that time. The so-called immortals and alchemists were the sorcerers who advocated and taught the art of immortality in this situation. These alchemists searched and used strange techniques to satisfy some people's wishes for immortality in order to win favor with nobles, princes and emperors. Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han favored the art of immortality and recruited many alchemists around them to help them realize their dream of immortality. The alchemists used many alchemists, such as refining alchemists, taking food and health preservation, worshiping ghosts and gods, praying forbidden spells, and sacrificing stoves, valley roads, marquis gods, looking at the energy, guiding, refining, singing, singing, and massage therapies, etc. The most important thing is to refine alchemy and collect medicine. Since these magical arts are still very scattered and do not form a climate, in order to further expand their influence, some alchemists used the theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements of Qi people Zou Yan during the Warring States Period to explain their magical arts and formed the so-called Fangxian Taoism, and these alchemists were called immortals. Fangxian Taoism had the most powerful influence on the establishment of Taoism. The alchemists' belief in gods and immortals and the art of seeking immortals were gradually absorbed by the essence of Taoism. Therefore, the cultivation magic practiced by Taoists was actually influenced by the magical arts and the Taoist priests were the final evolution of the complex version of the alchemist. In the Han Dynasty, the name of alchemist was common with the name of Taoist priests. This certainly indicates a confusion, but it also indicates a very close absorption and assimilation relationship between Taoism, Taoist priests and gods and immortals.

I just don’t know if there are gods in this world.

I borrowed some information, but I would rather do these things than just talk nonsense by myself.
