Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 73 Xuanxu Sect

The old patriarch smiled happily at this. No matter whether it was Heizi or Xiaoli, they all had minds like children. Well, Xiaocao was an exception. He was very steady.

As for Fang Kuai, he had heard of him but had never seen him. According to Heizi, he was a fool.

"What a blessed place, one that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with natural defensive features." On the mountain path, Taoist Priest Liu praised sincerely as he looked at the village walls and rock cliffs that looked like a coiled earth dragon.

"Master Liu, you are too kind." Yifeng smiled proudly without leaving any trace.

"Eh?" Taoist Priest Liu seemed to sense something and said in surprise, "Is there a spirit in your village?"

Yifeng smiled and nodded. He knew this would happen, and this was just the beginning.

"Master, are there temple spirits in the Forgotten Township?" The young Taoist priest following Taoist Liu asked in surprise.

"There are actually temple spirits in this small village?" This is the surprise of the young Taoists and Taoist ladies.

"The temple is indeed spiritual. It really fits the saying that a mountain is famous not because of its height, but because of its spirituality; a river is magical not because of its depth, but because of its dragon." Taoist Priest Liu shook off the dust and sighed, "The villagers in Guizhai are all pious people."

He knew the size of the village. With the size of Forgotten Village, there would be at most tens of thousands of people.

But even with these tens of thousands of people, they were able to support a temple spirit, which shows how devout the villagers are.

"What Taoist Liu said is true." Yifeng said without comment.

"Mr. Yi, what level are the temple spirits in the Forgotten Township?" a young Kun Dao asked curiously.

"As for the level...it's hard to say, hard to say." Yifeng kept the secret, making the female nun pout in anger.

"The strength of the temple spirits in your village can protect the Forgotten Village and help it safely pass through the ghost calamity. I'm afraid it shouldn't be underestimated." Taoist Priest Liu said as he looked at Yifeng.

Oblivion smiled back at this and made no reply.

Taoist Priest Liu smiled bitterly and said, "You Confucianists are always like this."

"Please forgive me, Taoist Liu. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the temple spirit doesn't allow us to mention it." Yifeng pretended to be helpless.

"It seems that I have to go and burn some incense." Taoist Priest Liu did not ask any further questions and stopped there.

"Guess what level the Forgotten Township temple spirit is?" A whisper sounded behind him.

"Is there any need to guess? It must be the village spirit."

"Junior brother, you should use your brain more in everything."

"That's right. When faced with a ghost calamity, the village spirits can only hide."

"Maybe he is hiding. Don't forget Mr. Yang. He is a fifth-rank Confucian cultivator."

"That's right."

A group of young Taoist priests and nuns started discussing the matter again.

This is the benefit of experience. Discussion and experience will make them grow quickly.

Of course, impoliteness is inevitable.

“A distinguished guest has come to our door and we are sorry for not welcoming him in person. In front of the village gate, the old chief clasped his fists to welcome him.

"This is the patriarch of our Forgotten Village, Yiwu." Yifeng introduced.

"Thank you for your courtesy, patriarch." Taoist Priest Liu returned the greeting.

"Greetings from the deceased patriarch." While the young Taoist priest and the female Taoist priests returned the greetings, they looked curiously at the old patriarch in front of the village gate.

"Haha, fellow Taoist priests, Aunt Kun, please come in." The old patriarch made a gesture of invitation.

"I don't deserve it. Please go first, clan leader." Taoist Priest Liu gestured for invitation.

"Haha, together, together." The old patriarch laughed heartily.

When Taoist Priest Liu and his entourage passed through the village gate, they saw a construction site in full swing.

"There is a lot of construction going on in your village." Taoist Priest Liu said as he looked at the bustling construction site.

The old patriarch's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he quickly said with a poor face, "There is no other way. In order to prevent people from freezing to death in winter, we can only grit our teeth and renovate the villagers' homes."

When Taoist Priest Liu saw this, he knew what the old patriarch was thinking.

So he said cheerfully: "Chief of the Yi clan, we in the Xuanxu clan never ask the villagers to do good deeds, so you can rest assured."

"Haha" the Taoist disciples couldn't help but laugh when they heard that.

They have experienced many such things along the way.

"Could it be that the rumors are wrong?" the old patriarch said in surprise.

"It can't be said to be wrong, but our Xuanxu Sect is our Xuanxu Sect." Taoist Priest Liu shook his head.

"Oh" the old patriarch suddenly realized, it seems that the rumors are true, they are just lucky to have met the Xuanxu Sect which does not ask for money under the guise of doing good deeds.

After speaking frankly, the atmosphere immediately became harmonious, with everyone talking and laughing.

The old patriarch originally wanted to settle Taoist Priest Liu and his party first, but they said they were not tired and wanted to go to the temple to burn incense.

The old man had no choice but to change his route and head towards the Forgotten Temple with Taoist Liu and his party.

The closer he got to the Forgotten Temple, the more surprised Taoist Liu looked, because he could feel abundant spiritual energy and the ground beneath his feet also exuded spiritual charm.

The word "dojo" flashed through his mind, making him pay attention to the temple spirit in the Forgotten Township.

However, the disciples behind him knew nothing about this and continued to chatter about the Forgotten Township.

The group quickly walked into the temple courtyard and saw a little raccoon sitting in front of the tea table and eating fruit.

"Wow, what a beautiful four-tailed silver fox." Several Kun Daoists were immediately attracted by the cute little fox whose mouths were bulging with food.

"Don't be rude, this is a fox fairy." Taoist Priest Liu changed his usual behavior and turned to lecture his disciples.

All the Taoist disciples immediately became good boys.

"Master, there's no need to do this. Xiaoli has gotten used to it." Xiaoli said unclearly.

It has long been accustomed to such situations.

"Haha, Xiaoli is right. Taoist Priest Liu doesn't need to care about these details. All you Taoist Priests, just do as you please." The old patriarch tried to smooth things over.

(Qian Dao refers to a male Taoist priest. Kun Dao refers to a female Taoist priest. I have made some changes based on the corrections from readers. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me.)

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Clan Leader. They have lived in the sect since they were young and are ignorant of worldly affairs, but fortunately they are not bad people."

"Haha, you all are much more polite than the wild boys and girls in our village." Yifeng said this and then changed the subject: "Master Liu is going to burn incense, please come in."

"Yes, yes, let's burn incense." Taoist Priest Liu followed suit, and under the guidance of the old patriarch, Yifeng, and Xiaoli, he led his disciples who had become honest, into the temple to burn incense.

As soon as they entered the Forgotten Temple, Taoist Priest Liu and his disciples felt a peaceful atmosphere coming towards them, which made them sink into peace and tranquility and feel indescribably comfortable.

"At least it's a county spirit." Taoist Priest Liu was surprised and couldn't help but look at the statue of the scholar.

When he saw the purple chain on the right hand of the statue of the agile scholar in purple robe, he was stunned.

Because he could feel that the purple chain contained the domineering power of thunder.

How strange, how strange, it is really strange.

"Please come and burn incense!" Xiaoli's crisp voice sounded, bringing Elder Liu back to his senses.

The incense-burning process did not take long before the group walked out of the temple.

Xiaoli explained at the right time that his master was in seclusion practicing, so he was unable to greet him, and hoped for his understanding.

In response, Taoist Priest Liu said it was okay.

"Everyone, please follow me." The old patriarch led the guests to the newly built orphanage. Fortunately, a building was built, otherwise there would be no place. It was a coincidence that they could entertain Taoist Liu and his party.
