The main hall is secluded and filled with incense.

Mo Chuan looked at Taoist Xuanyun with a half-smile, and sighed in his heart: He is a child after all, and he can't hide his curiosity.

"It is the duty of our Taoist sect to help the world and save people. That headless ghost has been killed by a poor Taoist!"

As the sound fell, Mo Chuan's figure faded away, and he vaguely felt an ownerless incense again.

Taoist Xuanyun looked at Mo Chuan who had disappeared, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

He forcibly suppressed his inner excitement, looked serious, and kowtowed.

After three salutes and three kowtows, he stood up, clasped Tai Chi with both hands, bowed and retreated.

As soon as he left the main hall, he could no longer suppress the child's excitement and ran away, like a cunning rabbit or like a strong wind, blowing up a small whirlpool in the Taoist temple.

"Master—Master—"

Fuluan Dao was delivering a gift to the Qingshui County government officials when he saw a gray figure from afar, like lightning, speeding towards him.

"That is a poor Taoist disciple. He has just started, and his behavior is unreasonable, which makes you two laugh."

Fuluan Taoist's eyelids jumped and he had to explain to the two government officials in embarrassment.

"Hahaha, it's interesting to watch it!"

The officer joked and left immediately.

Taoist Fuluan stood there, giving gifts to the yamen servants, looking at Taoist Xuanyun who was getting closer and closer, his old face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"How can you behave in such a panic?!"

When Taoist boy Xuanyun approached, Taoist Fuluan pulled his face and scolded him.

"Master - the ancestor has appeared!"

Taoist Xuanyun yelled out the truth and couldn't stop gulping for air.

"The Patriarch's appearance is not...what? What did you say?"

Before Fuluan Taoist put on his airs, he suddenly became wild and unbelievable.

"Huchi... Huchi... Master, I will do morning lessons... Huchi..."

"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty, please take your time and say it slowly."

Fuluan Taoist patted his beloved disciple on the back, looking at his impatient expression.

After a while, Taoist Xuanyun regained his composure, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistened his throat, and said with a bright face:

"Master, I just finished my morning class today, and I felt something strange about the statue. When I looked up, guess what I saw?"

Snapped!

A brain-shattering knock hit Taoist Xuanyun on the forehead: "What, what, what, what? Master, are you the one who can... be so contemptuous?"

"Oh, master, please be gentle."

"Say it quickly."

"Yes, master."

"As soon as I looked up, I saw the Patriarch, clothed in rays of light, stepping on auspicious clouds, walking out of the statue. The hall was filled with divine light and the flowers were shining brightly."

Fuluan Taoist automatically ignored the adjectives of his disciples and said with a serious expression: "Are you sure you are the Patriarch?"

A hint of cunning flashed across Taoist Xuanyun's face:

"Of course! Master has forgotten that I have mastered the art of subduing ghosts and immortals, and I have the thought of communion between heaven and man. How could I not recognize the light of the dharma on my ancestor's body?"

Fuluan Taoist breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and was delighted.

Xuanyun is indeed born with spiritual roots!

"Keep talking."

"Yes, master. When I saw the ancestor's spirit, I immediately bowed and bowed..."

Beside Fuluan Guanshan Road, Taoist boy Xuanyun was slobbering as he described the scene of witnessing the grand master's manifestation. There were inevitably too many adjectives in his words.

However, Taoist Xuanyun is naturally smart and knows where to exaggerate and where not to exaggerate.

Therefore, the content of the conversation was basically unchanged.

Thanks to his intelligence, otherwise it would be difficult for an ordinary Taoist boy to retell it completely.

"Master, look, this is the ghost-deterrence instrument that was given by our ancestor!"

Taoist boy Xuanyun took out a stack of ghost jars and presented them to the master like a treasure.

Fuluan Taoist took the talisman and stroked it with his hand, feeling the power contained in it, and his expression became complicated:

"Listening to what you said, Grandmaster should have cultivated the body of a ghost immortal. These stacks of ghost seals must have been accumulated by Grandmaster when he was in the body of a ghost immortal, just to leave a legacy to my Fuluan Temple.

Foundation.”

Taoist Xuanyun was greatly shocked when he heard this.

He was not an ignorant boy, he just didn't realize it was so profound for a while. After being enlightened by his master, he immediately understood the intention of his ancestor to protect the Tao with his fists.

"Master, is it because of the headless ghost incident that the county government officials came here?" Taoist Xuanyun couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, the death of the county magistrate shocked the government and the public. The government invited experts to try to subjugate the demon! I didn't expect that this was actually the work of a headless ghost, and I didn't expect that I, the founder of Fuluan, would have died long ago.

The head ghost has descended, it is true that the law is boundless and the destiny is in Luan!"

Fuluan Taoist had a look of emotion on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a flash of pride in his eyes.

"Master doesn't seem surprised?"

"What are you surprised about?"

"Master Patriarch has taken in the headless ghost? Didn't you say that these are the four evil ghosts of Taoism and are extremely difficult to tame?"

"Hahaha, that's for others, so it's naturally very difficult to subdue them. I, the Fuluan Patriarch, opened up the sect and founded the sect, but it's just a headless ghost, so what does it mean?"

Fuluan Taoist, who has been silent all his life, has never been so proud as he is now.

Taoist Xuanyun was palpitating when he heard the words. Thinking about it carefully, this is really the truth!

What is a headless ghost?

He shouldn't be surprised if the Patriarch summons the four evil spirits one day and assumes them to be Six Ding Liujia!

"Xuan Yun! Follow my master and look back and offer incense."

"Yes, master!"

…

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

…

Some people have potential for great prosperity due to the return of their ancestors;

Some people want to complete the unfinished business of their predecessors and establish a sect of Guan Guan, but in the end they end up with a hut, which is a mess.

Thirty-nine miles to the west of Qingshui County is called Huayin Mountain. Its mountains are rich in gold and jade, green and realgar, with grain canals flowing out of them, and Qingshui flowing into the southeast.

Hidden in the mountains, an unknown Taoist temple is located among the deep grass.

This is a Taoist temple, but it is just a hut.

If it weren't for the plaque with peeling gold paint hanging on the lintel and the clay statue of gods inside the house, it would be an exaggeration to say that it was a temporary cabin for hunters.

At this time, in this remote thatched hut, a dying old Taoist took out the Taoist robe that he had treasured for a long time and put all his effort into dressing it neatly.

Suddenly, I took three sticks of incense and searched for a long time, but there was no candle light. My eyes quietly fell on the blackened earth stove on the west side of the Taoist temple.

There is still firewood hidden in the stove.

There was a trace of sadness on his face. The stove ashes are a fire, also known as dragon excrement, and incense cannot be burned. This is extremely disrespectful!

But he still slowly got up, walked over, and lit the stove fire to offer incense.

The three incense sticks are divided into offering the path, offering the sutra, and offering the teacher.

He wanted to recite them one by one silently, make offerings devoutly, and get the fragrance at his fingertips, but he took it all in.

I have been practicing cultivation in the barren mountains for nearly a year, and many red tapes have long been forgotten along with the hardships of life.

In other words, as a traitor who deviates from the Taoism, his lack of respect for etiquette is the root cause of his unknown status and shallow Taoism.

"Disciple Yanzhen, I have a feeling today. I will soon return my soul to the three mountains and my soul to the five mountains! I have worked hard to cultivate my armor, and I once said that I would help the world and save people. I don't want to have trouble clearing water, walking with a decayed body, and having trouble getting out of the ghosts. All I have to do is return to firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

.”

Yanzhen paused, his energy exhausted by a few words.

All that's left is the overwhelming thoughts in my mind, rolling endlessly.

He was silent for a long time and sighed: "It is said that the incense comes from the sincere heart, and the smoke comes from the letter. One sincerity reaches the heaven, and all truths descend to the Yao level!"

"The old Taoist has seen strange and powerful ghosts, but he has never seen the real people come down to earth."
