The first thousand nine hundred and seventy-ninth chapters Taoist etiquette

Xiao Jian couldn't help asking: "Senior, you are old, why do you have to do everything yourself? You might as well tell your disciples to do these things!"

"Haha, fellow Taoist Xiao, this porridge and meal should be considered as the difficulties of Taoism, and every word and action should be used as the compassion of Taoism. Meditation is practice, refining qi is practice, and giving porridge is practice. The old Taoist has been serving porridge for fifty years. Now, although he is about to do it, he dare not be negligent!" Daoshan said with a smile after a little rest.

"Silk..." Not to mention Xiao Jian was surprised, even Xiao Hua was shocked! It took him fifty years to serve porridge! This is not something ordinary people can do! Immediately, Xiao Hua felt that he had lived to a dog for the past two hundred years!

Having said that, Tao Shan is old after all, and the wooden spoon is big. The old Taoist can't scoop a few more spoons.

"Ya..." Xiao Jian shouted, "Where have you died? Come over quickly and help the seniors get food!!"

"Yes, Master!" Yuanya responded. However, as soon as Yuanya emerged from the shadow behind Xiao Hua, the shadow of the body flashed through the white porridge, and the beggars were all terrified!

"Master Xiao, come on, young!" Liu Yi saw that although Daoshan did not frown, he was obviously worried in his eyes and hurriedly jumped off the carriage.

Liu Yi was sweet-mouthed, walked to Daoshan, and bowed respectfully and said: "Grandpa Dao, you have been doing good deeds for life. This kind of good deeds and kindness must be passed on. Boss Liu Yi is not talented and is willing to take over the good roots of our Taoism and continue to give this kind of good deeds. If Grandpa Dao is worried, how can he guide the boy's practice beside him?"

"Okay!" Daoshan looked at Liu Yi's cleverness and those pleasant words, he had to hand over this spoon to Liu Yi if he didn't give it.

However, Daoshan was still standing beside him. Seeing that Liu Yi was serious about filling every beggar's broken bowl, without any slackness, he turned to Xiao Jian with confidence and said, "Friend Xiao, good fortune! You disciple is a hundred times stronger than the disciples of the old Taoist!"

"Don't dare" Xiao Jian waved his hand quickly, gave Xiao Hua out, and said with a smile. "Liu Yi is the boy who sat in front of Senior Xiao, not the younger disciple!"

"Oh?" Daoshan was obviously stunned. Looking at Xiao Hua who looked like a young man, he seemed to understand something. He hurriedly sorted out his Taoist robe and bowed respectfully, "I have seen my senior!"

Xiao Hua was not willing to let this kind-hearted old Taoist bow to him. He just waved his hand, and the old Taoist couldn't bow down. He bowed first and said, "I, Xiao Hua, see Master Daoshan!"

Daoshan couldn't bow down, and he knew that Xiao Hua had an extraordinary origin. Surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly: "The old Taoist does not practice Taoism, only reads Taoist scriptures, is not good at begging for alms, only knows how to give, and has never practiced at all. How can he be called a master?"

"Master is wrong!" Xiao Hua said with a smile. "I don't know the road of cultivation, and everything is not smooth! The master takes goodness first, and his actions are like a drop of water. It is almost a day after a hundred years, and he is loved by sentient beings. Although Xiao has also done good deeds, if he is as persistent as a master... he cannot be called a master, who can be called a master? If the master is not a master, then there will be no master in this Tibetan Immortal Continent!"

"Senior..." Daoshan was still modest, "The old Taoist has been escaping into the Taoist sect since he was a child and has always admired such a Taoist sect's supernatural powers, but the old Taoist has never had this opportunity in his life. Therefore, the old Taoist used such meager means to exert the light power of our Taoist sect. This is really not worth mentioning in front of the senior. The senior's statement makes the old Taoist ashamed!"

"Call me, fellow Taoist!" Xiao Hua said with a smile. He really didn't want to be called a senior by such an elderly man. After all, the old man has reached the end of his life, and although he is old, he is just in his prime!

"Yes, fellow Taoist Xiao!" Daoshan was very happy. But after speaking, he woke up again, "The two fellow Taoists turned out to be a family!"

"Fellow Taoist is wrong!" Xiao Hua shook his head, "Mr. Xiao also met this Taoist Master Xiao by chance!"

"The Taoist Sect in the world is a family, and meeting each other is fate!" Daoshan said with a smile, and then looked at the many beggars who were slowly coming from afar, and the smile on their faces was retracted, "Oh, this year, the Tongzhu Kingdom has launched a large number of troops, and there are more and more beggars in the country who are turbulent and displaced..."

"Gugu..." Xiao Jian's stomach started to scream in disarray.

Although the old Taoist's ears were not easy to use, they were really close to Xiao Jian. Xiao Jian's thunderous sound immediately made him understand.

"Haha, the old Taoist was really happy to see the fellow Taoist, and he was rude!" Daoshan smiled and raised the trail. "Several fellow Taoists wait, the old Taoist will call out the disciples to welcome you!"

"Don't..." Xiao Hua knew that Daoshan was neat and knew that the old Taoist was the most particular. He didn't know what etiquette he had developed, so he hurriedly called him.

Ke Daoshan waved his hand and said, "Confucianism has always used etiquette to govern the country with etiquette. Although I, Taoist, do not have too many cumbersome etiquettes, but fellow Taoists come from afar, and I must act solemnly! If I am seen by Confucianism, I will laugh at my Taoist sect."

Xiao Hua wanted to say something else, Xiao Jian smiled beside him and said, "Senior, Senior Daoshan's Seven Yang Temple is a real Taoist temple. If you don't let him welcome Senior in, you may lose my Taoist face. It is said that it will not look good when you go out!"

"Okay!" Xiao Hua was a little curious, not quite understanding what other etiquette he needed to welcome to a Taoist temple.

After a cup of tea, the iron pot in front of Qiyang Temple was empty, but there were still many beggars with thin and yellow skin in front of the iron pot. These beggars saw that the porridge they gave was gone and left in disappointment, but they still looked at it with a little eagerness and stayed in front of the iron pot.

"Master..." Looking at the open door, Liu Yi whispered, "Will these people leave?"

Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Let them wait first, and wait until I wait, and then let Master Daoshan make porridge!"

"Yes~" Liu Yi whispered, the beggars were all overjoyed and were waiting there obediently.

As he was speaking, a sound of silk and bamboo came from the Qiyang Temple. Then, a few thin Taoist boys were seen holding flutes, flutes, or shengs, walking out of the gate while blowing. After these Taoist boys, Daoshan slowly clothed with dozens of middle-aged and elderly Taoist priests wearing neat Taoist robes.

Daoshan, who was walking in front, even held a long strip of white-haired objects in his hand.

Xiao Hua wanted to ask Xiao Jian, but Xiao Jian's face had changed to solemnity. He hurriedly walked to the door of Qiyang Temple, stood straight, with his hands in the Taoist robe, and looked down at the ground with his head down. Seeing this, Xiao Hua did not dare to be negligent, so he hurried to Xiao Jian's side and stood still.

Seeing Xiao Hua coming, Xiao Jian hurriedly took a half step back to show the difference.

Liu Yi was clever and hurriedly pulled Yuan Ya who was standing beside him. He stood behind Xiao Hua on the side of Xiao Jian, and let Yuan Ya stand beside him and face Xiao Jian.

Daoshan and others walked to Xiao Hua, and did not speak. They waited until the song was settled, and then said: "I am the seven Yang Temple of Daoshan, welcome senior Xiao Hua and fellow Taoist Xiao Jian to come to my seven Yang Temple!"

Following this, Daoshan held the scepter respectfully.

"Disciple welcomes two Senior Xiao!" Even though he saw that Xiao Hua was very young, many Taoist priests still saluted respectfully.

Xiao Hua and others also returned the favor. Although Xiao Hua didn't know the specific etiquette, he still raised his hand and more than a dozen people were lifted up.

Everyone was shocked!

"Senior Xiao, please visit the Guanwen to worship Taoist ancestor..." Daoshan's expression remained unchanged, and he said word by word, turning around.

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Hua replied, and walked towards Daoshan. Xiao Hua had just crossed Daoshan. Daoshan took steps at the same time and accompanied Xiao Hua into the Taoist temple.

Qiyang Temple is really not small. When you enter the temple gate, it is a very large courtyard, with two rows of wing rooms in the east and west. Opposite is a very grand hall. Although these houses are old, their scale is far from comparable to Jiangchao Temple! In particular, there are two side doors on both sides of the hall, which leads directly to the hall. Thinking about the situation you saw from the small bridge, Xiao Hua also knew that there was a huge place behind the hall.

The hall is brightly lit. In addition to the several oil lamps in the hall, there are three red candles as thick as arms on the altar. In addition to the red candle, there is also an incense burner on the altar. A few incense sticks rise in the incense burner. On both sides of the incense burner, several plates are placed in sequence. The plates contain some rice, noodles, grain, etc.

However, what puzzled Xiao Hua was that there was no statue of Taoist ancestor behind the altar, but a few layers of niches. There were small signs on the niches with some handwriting on them, and there were small celadon bowls in front of the signs!

"Worship the ancestor of Taoism!" When Xiao Hua walked into the middle of the hall, Daoshan shouted loudly, full of energy, how could he look like an old man in his sixties?

Looking at the niches in front of you and the brands, Xiao Hua was a little amused. He had already thought about this question in Xiaoyu Continent. Who is the Taoist ancestor? Now that he has arrived in the Tibetan Immortal Continent, this problem has not been solved, and he has never worshipped in Xiaoyu Continent. Today, he is going to worship Taoist ancestor.

"The dead are the most important!" Xiao Hua imitated Xiao Jian's appearance, put his hand in the Taoist robe, raised it high to his forehead, and then bowed slowly until his forehead was level with the offering in front of him. Then he stopped, and then bowed twice again, bowing three times.

"Respect the teacher!!" After Xiao Hua got up, Daoshan shouted again.

This time, the three bows were higher than the previous three bows. Xiao Hua paid attention to what Xiao Jian did and followed the steps himself.

"See fellow Taoist!" Daoshan shouted, turned around, holding the already yellowed board in his hand, and took his disciples to salute Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua could see clearly now that the yellow board was actually a jade carving...
