For some unknown reason, Gu Can temporarily changed his mind and took his maid Lingxuan and national preceptor Huang Lie back to the Taoist temple with a tiny facade.

Gu Can walked to the door, reached for the copper door knocker, and knocked three times, but there was no response for a long time.

Gu Lingyan was too lazy to wait any longer. She walked straight to her young master, clenched her fist and knocked on the door, making a loud banging noise.

Inside Chongyang Temple, which was known as the Alchemy Temple in ancient times, I seemed to finally hear the movement outside the door. I opened the door with a creak and walked out two skinny young Taoist boys, one tall and one short, with the same sallow complexion and skinny muscles.

It is indeed a cold temple, so it would be strange if the food is oily and watery.

Gu Can shook his head with the two Taoist boys standing at the threshold, and then smiled and said: "I'm sorry to disturb the two Taoist boys who are practicing Qing Dynasty. I want to enter your temple to ask for a glass of water, but I don't know if it's feasible."

The tall Taoist boy suddenly blushed and groaned, not knowing how to reply. The short Taoist boy next to him, who had a straight face, just didn't have the three words "Expulsion Order" on his forehead, smiled widely after hearing this.

"My name is Song Juchuan, and this is my junior brother Zhong Shan. Our senior brothers have not yet been conferred with the magic weapon, so we do not have a Taoist title yet. We usually only help the master by refining several pots of life-prolonging souls for the wealthy families in the capital who line up to visit.

Dan.”

Introducing these distinguished guests into the temple, Song Juchuan deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Master Imperial Master and our master call each other Taoist friends, and we often drink and discuss Taoism in the Taoist temple."

Huang Lie, who was walking at the end of the team, chuckled, "Why didn't I know that I had been here before? I didn't know that the elixirs in Chongyang Temple were so popular in the capital."

Gu Lingyan squinted at the horizon, only seeing the vision in general. A pure golden light disappeared in an instant. She vaguely guessed that there was an expert interpreting the image, and the cicada shed its corpse and was released.

Although it is not as good as those orthodox ascensions, it is still a superior corpse that has been reborn. Gu Lingxuan believes that he still has this bit of vision. In the wild world, there are often great monks who cannot ascend step by step. There is no perfect path for others.

The next best thing is to choose a place in the underworld, build a mausoleum or underground palace, and follow the path passed down from ancient times for the tomb owner or temple owner to ascend to immortality. The layout should be carefully planned and focused on the transformation of form, resurrection from death, and achievement.

The body of a ghost or immortal may give the reincarnated body a chance to ascend to the Mysterious realm.

After just visiting the Qintian Prison, she made a decision. It seemed that she would humbly consult the young master for advice and seriously learn the art of looking at the Qi.

Gu Lingyan asked in his heart: "Sir, is there any result?"

Gu Can nodded.

Gu Lingyan couldn't help but ask: "But Ma Kuxuan's skills are not as good as those of others, and he can't defeat Master Chen Shan. His body was cut off and his life's practice was ruined. It's a pity that Ma Kuxuan still used the magic to save his life in the end.

Escaped by luck? Or what's worse, Ma Kuxuan had already planned to use Chen Shanzhu's swordsmanship to help him escape, hoping that

Do it all over again in the next life?"

Gu Can didn't even raise his head, "As long as it's something he has thought over and over again before deciding to take action, there will definitely be no surprises. What's more, with Wangqi and Xijie, you are a layman and can only watch the excitement.

"

Gu Lingyan was extremely curious and asked: "May I ask, Master, what happened to Ma Kuxuan?"

That is one of the ten candidates in the world! Is it so miserable? If Ma Kuxuan were replaced by a wild monk, he would definitely be among the Heavenly Stems, and his future would be bright.

In fact, she also knew that the second possibility she speculated was...impossible. Ma Kuxuan's temper could be determined based on those deeds alone. Ma Kuxuan was in this world full of rules, and it was rare for her to listen to it.

Rumor has it that someone is close to my heart.

Gu Can said: "I don't know the truth either. You can ask him later."

Gu Lingxuan lamented and said with resentful eyes: "How dare I? My teeth will chatter when I see Mr. Yin Guan."

It is easy to misunderstand when you look at the small gate of a Taoist temple from the outside. It is estimated that the scale is not large. Once you enter the Taoist temple, you will realize that it is a different cave. It occupies a very considerable area. As you enter, you will pass through corridors and winding corridors.

The young Taoist boy named Song Juchuan was a chatterbox. While leading the group of guests inside the Taoist temple, he kept talking, "Our master is the abbot of this temple. He comes from a well-educated family, is young and strong, and is originally from the imperial court."

Guest, later he became disheartened and did not want to join in the officialdom, so he always lived as a mountain man."

"He likes to go into the mountains to collect Ganoderma lucidum. He has stopped cooking for a long time. On weekdays, he only needs to take Polygonatum scutellariae and Poria cocos, which are made from pickled white rice grown in the vegetable garden. There is also a self-made brew in the Taoist temple.

Even though water is burned with earth, you can't buy it elsewhere even if you have money. Our master is a real old immortal, over a hundred years old and has a strong appearance. Even in the cold and snowy season, he refuses to wear cotton wool.

Yes, when I stand on the Hunyuan Zhuang or meditate, my whole body will be filled with white gas."

The tall Taoist boy felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. Senior Brother Song was so good at explaining. But when he thought about the lack of popularity in his Taoist temple, Zhong Shan admired and appreciated Senior Brother Song's good intentions.

Gu Can smiled and said: "I only heard that when a Taoist practitioner exhales and refines Qi, smoke of different colors such as green and white will emit from the ears, nose and orifices. The amount depends on the Tao power. Taoist classics name it 'Crane Breath'."

"

Song Juchuan fisted his palm and said, "Yes, I remember Master introduced it to me, those few puffs of smoke are called Crane Breath!"

Gu Can was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "I made up the phrase "Crane Breath".

Song Juchuan suddenly became speechless, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Okay, the incense money is gone.

Does the Taoist temple have to pay for a pot of tea?

Master is not generous and still holds grudges.

The ancient cypress trees shade the pond, the flowers fall like fallen birds, and the swimming fish peck and eat them.

There are two cats by the pond. One has pure white fur and a single yellow tail. It is commonly known in the market as a silver vase hung on a gold rope. It squats as if looking into the water to catch fish. The other has a yellow body with a white belly and white feet. It is named Jin Bei Yin Bed.

Butterflies flutter and play.

Song Juchuan grinned and said, "Wild cats often go to the kitchen to steal food."

The dull Zhongshan has something to say, and they can't steal anything to eat.

Compared to Senior Brother Song, Zhong Shankou is the clumsiest and slow to learn anything. His master always says that he is an ignorant person. If he can practice Taoism, there will be no one in the world who cannot practice immortality.

There is an old Taoist under the Matsushita in the temple with snow-white hair on his temples, wearing a pair of straw shoes on his feet, carrying a hoe on his shoulder, and holding a bamboo basket in his hand. There are some pieces of Poria cocos stained with soil in the bamboo basket.

With a sigh, he raised his head and glanced at the sky. The old Taoist priest counted his fingers and shook his head. In short, it is becoming increasingly difficult for people to understand this world.

The old Taoist walked slowly, and when he saw the group of people, he couldn't help but feel doubtful. His Taoist temple was usually closed, but there were actually pilgrims who took the initiative to knock on the door?

Climbing up the pole and giving money? Is such a beautiful thing really possible? I'm just afraid that if a good person doesn't come, someone who does come will be unkind.

The two Taoist boys saluted and said: "Disciple pays homage to Master Jing."

The old Taoist's face remained as usual, he nodded in greeting, handed the hoe and bamboo basket to the two disciples, and prepared to entertain the guests in person.

The old Taoist had already freed up his hands, made a gesture, and said with a smile: "Pindao Cheng Fengxuan, the two disciples are accustomed to call Pindao Jingshi. Pindao's native place is Xuyi Prefecture, his monastery is in Liangshan, and he is a wanderer.

, I traveled to other continents a few years ago and stopped here. I don’t have any serious title. It’s a self-proclaimed title, and it cannot be taken seriously. It is just like the private posthumous title of the literary scholar Lin, so I don’t mention it, so as not to make people laugh. "

Gu Can asked: "But what about Duliang Mountain near Xuyi Water Mansion?"

Cheng Fengxuan nodded in agreement, greatly surprised, and said in surprise: "Young Master is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. People in the world have only heard of Xuyi Water Mansion but not Duliang Mountain. If they knew more about the past, they would only know about the refinement of half a Tongling Tomb."

How could Du Xiucai, who is in the mountains and half of Xuyi's army, know everything about Liangshan?"

Huang Lie asked in confusion: "Du Xiucai?"

Cheng Fengxuan smiled and refused to explain.

Gu Can introduced: "In the history of the Middle-earth Divine Continent, there was a Mr. Wusong named Du, nicknamed Du Xiucai, and he was a refiner as famous as Mrs. Xu."

Xuyi Prefecture, the prefecture and county offices are all located on the mountain. Raising one's eyebrows and looking straight at Xuyi means Xuyi Prefecture, which means far-sighted and far-sighted. Hence this popular ancient name.

Along the way, the scenery along the way was impressive, with ancient buildings, flowers and trees, and Huang Lie couldn't help but praise the good Feng Shui.

I used to be in the dark under the lamp, but I didn't know there was such a Feng Shui treasure right under my nose.

The old Taoist priest led them to a hut called "Zanglu", not far from the ancient pine trees.

Gu Can glanced at the plaque with graceful handwriting.

Cheng Fengxuan pointed to the ancient pine, "This pine was planted by the founder of this Taoist temple. It has been there for many years. It has Poria cocos underneath and is almost in human form."

Gu Lingyan glanced at the scene under the ancient pine trees and secretly covered his mouth with a sweet smile. He was indeed the kind of disciple who would be able to brag without drafting any kind of master.

Gu Can smiled and said: "Immortal Chang Gaofeng."

The implication is that he dares to speak openly about this matter to outsiders.

Gu Lingyan asked Huang Lie alone with his heartfelt voice, "Can you see the strange rustic nature of Poria cocos becoming a spirit?"

Huang Liezhao said truthfully: "I can't see anything."

The old Taoist stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Don't make any mistakes", which frightened the distinguished guests.

At the Taoist priest's fingertips, the two cats turned into butterflies and flew away in colorful colors.

Gu Lingyan pretended to be surprised, her face turned pale and she let out an ouch, then leaned against Gu Can's shoulder.

Gu Can just put his hand against her forehead, pushed it away gently, and said with a smile: "How? I just said that there are many strange people in the world, and real heroes often live in seclusion in the rivers and lakes. You don't believe it, and you call me suspicious."

Gu Lingyan cooperated with his young master in acting together, as if he had realized it in hindsight, and timidly looked at the old Taoist.

Cave realm? Sea view realm?

Arriving at the gate of the hut, Gu Can suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "I am not very engaged in my work. I like to read miscellaneous books and read some side knowledge. Now I can put what I have learned into practice. When I see the treasures of the gods and treasures of your place, I will be filled with excitement."

It was like a dragon and a tiger dominating the air. Then I knocked on the door and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, I met a rare master from this world that we ordinary people could not see in a century. He was guarding the Poria cocos and becoming a spirit. I dared to ask Jing for advice.

Master, is it to take Shengxian?"

Cheng Fengxuan's face suddenly changed, and he no longer had the slightest trace of immortality. He put his fingers together to form a halberd and pointed at the young man in scholar's shirt who looked like a rich man. The old Taoist stared at him and said sternly: "I have long seen that you three have evil intentions."

, with your maid and your servants, it’s not good to go anywhere, but you dare to come here to cause trouble, like a loach chasing a duck, you are looking for death!”

Gu Can smiled and said: "Master Jing doesn't have to pretend to be evil to scare us mortals. People in the market regard life as seven feet, and Taoists in the mountains regard life as seven feet. I believe that with Master Jing's state of mind and cultivation, what he cultivates is inner

Dan, you first used Poria cocos to transform into a spirit, which was sensational, and then used an illusion to turn a cat into a butterfly. Do you want us to retreat in the face of difficulties? Or are you attracted by the qualifications of the maid next to me and think she has a certain level of Taoism?
