Chapter 243: Fuyun Temple

Turns out he was just flattering himself!

Chu Yang was a little surprised. Hearing the short-bearded Taoist priest mention his name, he thought that the other person, like Hu Guang, wanted to make himself unhappy, but he didn't expect that the actual situation was exactly the opposite.

But think about it, Fuyun Temple will definitely be in trouble today, and those who are willing to come to help will definitely be a timely help to the Taoist temple.

On normal days, this Taoist priest might question the authenticity of his cultivation, but at this critical moment, how could he dare to be disrespectful?

What if Chu Yang and the others are offended and the other party simply gives up and leaves?

After saying a few polite words, there was a crashing sound from the closed mountain gate of Fuyun Temple, and then, a dozen people walked out of the mountain gate, led by Taoist priest Lingyun.

There are 108 steps in front of the mountain gate, which symbolize the 108 troubles in life. According to legend, after walking up these steps, you will end these troubles.

Of course, these are all illusory things. Only God knows whether they work or not.

Taoist priest Ling Yun personally greeted him, which was a great honor. Chu Yang also straightened his clothes and looked flattered.

"I am a poor man who has missed my welcome from afar. Please forgive me, little friend Chu."

Ling Yunzi swept the whisk away and saluted Chu Yang, and the disciples behind him also bowed.

Chu Yang cupped his hands and said, "Taoist priest, you're welcome. We are all old acquaintances, so don't worry about these customs."

"Haha, my little friend is indeed a cheerful person. Please come in and serve tea."

Taoist priest Ling Yun led the way, leading Chu Yang towards the Taoist temple.

Before coming, Jiang Weiguo had already spoken with Taoist Master Lingyun on the phone, so he was very clear about Chu Yang's purpose and did not ask about the situation of the relevant personnel.

When they arrived at the temple, Taoist Master Ling Yun turned around and gave instructions to his disciples, asking several Taoist priests to lead the people brought by Chu Yang to rest.

When he saw the group of spies from the Lu family, Taoist Master Ling Yun couldn't help but be startled, and asked Chu Yang curiously: "Little friend, what is going on?"

Chu Yang told what happened before, and Taoist priest Ling Yun sighed: "So that's it, just leave these people to Pindao, put them in the backyard woodshed and keep them under strict supervision, and let them go after the enemy is defeated."

"Then there's Taoist Lao."

Chu Yang naturally didn't make any sense and agreed readily.

After the people brought by Chu Yang were settled, Taoist priest Ling Yun smiled and said, "This is your first time coming to Fuyun Temple. How about I let Pindao guide you around?"

Speaking of which, Chu Yang had never been to places like temples and Taoist temples. It was still early before dark, so he went to visit with Taoist Master Lingyun.

Fuyun Temple has a history of thousands of years. It has been destroyed several times by military disasters in history. Later, it was renovated by Taoist disciples. Until now, it has developed to a huge scale.

As soon as I entered the mountain gate, I saw a large square in front of me, with several halls scattered around it.

Among them, directly opposite is the Lingguan Hall, with the Wealth Hall and the Sanguan Hall on both sides. After walking through the Lingguan Hall along the corridor, a majestic palace stands in front of you. This is the Jade Emperor Hall, which is dedicated to the Jade Emperor.

Further back, there are the Yaowang Hall, the Suffering Hall and the Laolu Hall, followed by the Sanqing Hall dedicated to the Sanqing. There are also some smaller halls around it, such as the Zhenwu Hall, Yuanjun Hall, etc.

Near these halls, there are also some guest halls for tourists to stay and rest, and most of them are houses where Taoist disciples live daily.

Chu Yang visited around and offered incense to each of the gods devoutly. He didn't know that he would have to deal with them in the future, so he came to burn a cold stove in advance today and came to the sun pit... to earn their spiritual stones with peace of mind!

Taoist priest Ling Yun accompanied him all the way and looked at Chu Yang with admiration.

There are a total of 17 halls in Fuyun Temple, and each hall is dedicated to several gods. He thought that he would lose interest after visiting a few Chuyangs, but he ended up worshiping them one by one, and they were much more pious than those good men and women!

After the visit, Taoist Master Lingyun called for a disciple. After asking a few questions in a low voice, he turned to Chu Yang and smiled: "My friend, the food has been prepared in the dining hall. How about going to try it?"

Chu Yang and others were in such a hurry that they didn't even bother to eat. When it was time to eat, Taoist Master Ling Yun naturally wanted to show his loyalty to the landlord.

"I've heard for a long time that the food at Guanzhong Suzhai Restaurant is excellent. Since the Taoist Priest has kindly invited me, I would be disrespectful to refuse, haha."

Although Chu Yang didn't have any problem if he didn't eat for three to five days, he still agreed unceremoniously.

There is a saying that goes well, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!

The people who came with him had not yet established the foundation, so naturally they did not have the ability to live without food. If their opinions were not considered, they would inevitably end up complaining, which would have a great impact on morale.

The vegetarian restaurant in Fuyunguan is open to the public, but the Taoist temple is closed at this time, and there are no other diners in the restaurant, so it is just used to entertain Chu Yang and the others.

At the main table, except for the young man Chu Yang, all the elders from various families were sitting there, accompanied by Taoist Priest Lingyun and the short-bearded Taoist priest from before.

After the introduction, Chu Yang knew that this was the eldest disciple of Taoist Master Lingyun, whose Taoist name was Xu Chong. He was forty-six years old this year and was in the late stage of Qi refining.

Among the Taoist disciples Chu Yang met, there were more than twenty who were in the Qi-refining stage, and there were also quite a few who were close to the Qi-refining stage. It could be seen that Fuyun Temple still had some background, plus those ordinary people Disciple, today you are considered to have the strength to fight against the Lu family.

During the banquet, there was naturally a lot of drinking and drinking. Taoist priest Ling Yun was very skillful in dealing with people and took good care of the guests at the banquet. Everyone felt flattered.

Of course, Taoist priests are also monks, so they naturally cannot drink alcohol. What everyone drinks is something called "vegetarian wine", which is actually what people often call rice wine, which is not much different from beverages.

The vegetarian dishes in the vegetarian restaurant are indeed well-deserved. After Chu Yang tasted them one by one, he felt that although these dishes are all vegetarian, they did not seem bland and tasteless. Instead, they made people salivate and couldn't help but eat them with relish.

After eating and drinking, when the Jiang family reinforcements dispersed, a young Taoist priest served tea to everyone.

After letting the disciples retreat, Taoist Lingyun discussed the situation with Chu Yang and others.

"My friend, you said that the Lu family will have hundreds of masters attacking, and there are hidden forces to help?"

This news was naturally notified by Jiang Weiguo. It was related to the safety of his own Taoist temple, so Taoist Lingyun confirmed it again.

Chu Yang nodded and said, "Yes, this news was sent back by the spies sent by the Jiang family. There shouldn't be too much error. I have also confirmed it from those spies. The situation is basically the same."

Taoist Lingyun pondered and said, "There are 23 Qi-refining disciples in this temple, 46 body-building disciples, and the remaining dozens of people are of low ability. I am afraid they can't play any role. This time the Lu family is coming aggressively, I am afraid you all need to help!"

"You are too polite, Taoist priest. We came here to deal with the Lu family. As long as we work together, the other party should not be a match!"

Zhu Lixin patted his chest and said.

"Thank you very much, everyone. After the matter is done, I will send you my own gifts."

Taoist Lingyun is a sincere person. As long as the Taoist temple can be saved, offering some money and goods as a thank you is what should be expected.
