Chapter 1895 Lou Guan rises up
The teahouse Li Jianglong was talking about was not far from the airport. After getting in the car she arranged, he turned right after exiting the airport, and it only took more than ten minutes to arrive.
It was already midnight, so there were naturally no customers in the tea house at this time. If this place was not owned by the Qinling Li family, it would probably have been closed long ago.
Several waiters were waiting with sleepy faces. It was obvious that Li Jianglong had specially arranged for us. When we arrived, they cheered up and led us up to an elegant room on the second floor with a smile.
Everyone had just sat down and Li Jianglong was greeting people with tea and snacks. My master pulled Zu Shou and Zuchang to sit down beside him.
He endured all the way, and now he had a place to talk. He immediately asked the two of them impatiently: "Where is the gate of Louguan Dao now? How many disciples are there under the gate?"
When asked about this matter, Zu Shou's eyes flashed with sadness: "The mountain gate has long been gone. Since the disaster of annihilation during the reign of Emperor Yuan Shun, our lineage has been displaced. Some disciples could not bear the suffering and became traitors. The news
When the news spread, some Buddhist monasteries that had a bloody feud with us in the past joined forces with Lamaism and pursued us. In desperation, we had no choice but to go south to the Minyue area. The Yuan people did not have much authority in the Minyue area.
The Lamaism of Yuanting Nixi also has less influence there.
We took shelter under the Lushan sect in the Fujian and Yue area. These two sects were originally primitive religions in the Fujian and Yue area. They mostly believed in witchcraft. Later, after Yi Guan moved south, they had exchanges with the Jingming sect and the Lingbao sect of the Taoist sect.
, absorbed some teachings and techniques of Taoism, and thus became two unique branches of Taoism. They took us in because of their close relationship with Taoism.
After that, we stayed in Minyue, and occasionally went out with the Lushan sect to do magic among the people and collect some money. The disciples also went out to sea to fish, barely surviving, and we could only ensure that the inheritance would not be extinct.
When the Yuan people were driven away, we originally wanted to return to the north, but Buddhism was already very powerful at that time. As soon as we emerged, we were immediately expelled. When we arrived at the Qing court, the Manchus worshiped Buddhism, and Taoism became difficult, so we had increasingly no chance.
, I have been wandering around like this until now..."
Zuchang added: "My master would like to recruit more disciples, so as to expand his incense, but he doesn't have enough money and food to support so many people. He does his own rituals and occasionally treats people. He has worked hard all his life."
, it’s just that I managed to bring the five of us senior brothers together.”
My master listened with sadness and sympathy on his face.
I couldn't help but criticize the old Taoist priest for his miserable life, and I felt sorry for others.
Although the mountain gate is gone, luckily there are still five senior brothers and a leader who doesn’t know his background. Looking at us, there are only three Taoist disciples in the Zhenwu Temple. Although there is a place to stay, think about it carefully.
, it’s like falling inside the wall and falling outside the wall, it’s not much better!
"It's not easy."
My master sighed and consoled me: "As the saying goes, when you go to a poor place and sit and watch the clouds rise, the hard work of the past will eventually pass, and you will get better."
"Yes, it will always get better, that's the truth."
A smile appeared on Zu Shou's face: "We, the five brothers, have been wandering around with my master since we were young, and have suffered a lot. I remember that one year the government did not allow an unlicensed native doctor like him to practice medicine, but I don't know why.
To be particular, we are rough people and cannot understand. Taoist priests practice medicine. How can you tell that their sects are so sophisticated? If you take a picture and say that you can't see the meridians, it means that there are no meridians. Isn't this how we have treated diseases since ancient times?
It doesn’t matter if it’s easy to use. My master has been practicing medicine all his life. He has cured as many as eight hundred people, if not one thousand. The decoctions that our brothers worked so hard to dig up from the mountains were sold out in packages of ten or eight yuan each. They spent one hundred thousand yuan on them.
We, thirty-fifty-year-olds, are curing diseases that cannot be cured. How come we are being deceived, but we are not even allowed to earn these ten or eighty yuan? This actually cuts off our biggest income.
Sourced.
My master was puzzled by this matter and almost became a demon. He had cured so many people, so how could he become a liar?
Later, a kind person said that just because you can cure diseases in your thirty-fifty years, you are liars!
When I was desperate, my master felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he wanted to take us back to our ancestral home. He spent all his money along the way. When we arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in Zhouzhi, he found that our mountain gate had become a tourist attraction.
, you have to pay money to get in, so my senior brother and I went to do a lot of hard work, and at least we collected enough money for the ticket. After we went in and saw the only remaining scripture pavilion, my master was so sad that he knelt down and couldn't bear it.
He even thought about taking his own life, which would be considered a happy ending.
Unexpectedly, I happened to meet the nobles of the Li family at this time and accepted six of us as masters and apprentices. Over the years, we have eaten and drank from the Li family, but the Li family rarely looked for us. My master is old.
, no longer want to accept apprentices, some of our senior brothers have started to accept apprentices. Over the years, we have successively accepted 20 or 30 poor children from mountainous areas. Most of these children are parents who have marriage problems and throw their children away.
The old man ran away on his own, and the old man couldn't afford to support him. But by following our master and apprentice, he could have a bite to eat.
Miss Jianglong even said that after this trip, she would get a piece of land and find connections to help us re-erect the mountain gate.
Now I am eagerly looking forward to those children growing up. This time my master and four of our senior brothers came out, leaving the senior brother to take care of the children. When they grow up, our Louguan Taoism, this is not
Did you get up again?"
There was no sympathy on my master's face anymore, and he looked at me with a ghostly look that made me shiver. It was obvious that my parents had gone out to listen to others talk about other people's children for a day. When they came home, they looked at their own children, and there were no traces of them anywhere.
Pleasant to the eyes...
What a shameless old man!
I feel bitter in my heart. You old man thinks that if I don’t accept disciples, I’m not as good as others, and I don’t look at my own first. It’s so difficult for people to watch Taoism in the building. My master goes around practicing medicine to save people, and he also does hard labor.
I pissed five times, look at you again, sit down in the Zhenwu Temple, I am an expert in the world, but I don’t have enough money and food, so I might as well close the door, I am just a disciple...
Co-authored Now that our inheritance is not flourishing, is it my fault?
Then I leave?
I definitely couldn't walk. I guessed that if my front legs were gone, the old Taoist priest would beat me into a piece of pork belly with his hind legs. After complaining about the old Taoist priest, I was shocked and understood some of the hidden meanings in Zu Shou's words.
, I couldn't help but look at Li Jianglong who was sitting opposite me and blowing on a teacup: "This time...are you going to enter the Elson Ula Desert with us?"
