Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 16 Retreat to the mountains and forests
  "Wan'er, I can come again!"

"Don't get so close, your beard will pierce me."

"You obviously liked it last night."

"Haha, don't tickle me."

Su Heng could see the beauty's laughter and playfulness. To ensure that he was not mistaken, he took out the photos on his mobile phone and compared them, confirming that the person flirting with the cheongsam girl was his third uncle Yuan Jingshu.

"Uncle Master!" Su Heng shouted.

"Ah, there is someone here."

Yuan Jingshu took a serious look at the two of them and found that they didn't know each other. He yelled angrily: "Where are you young lovers? What are you yelling about here? Go ahead and play!"

"Uncle Jingshu, Master Wang Zhiyuan specially asked me to come find you, and there is a seal to prove it."

Su Heng held up the seal in his hand.

"You still say you don't know him." Wan'er smiled lightly and immediately raised her hand to Su Heng, "Come up and sit down, I'll make tea for you."

Yuan Jingshu held his forehead in annoyance: "Oh, my senior brother."

……

As soon as the two entered the door, they smelled the strong scent of perfume.

The front room is tidy, with a simple wooden table for making tea, four wooden chairs, and a cabinet for a satellite TV.

The back room is the bedroom, with a room by the window. When Yuan Jingshu and the cheongsam girl came out, they closed the door. Su Heng glanced at them and saw that colorful socks and underwear were scattered everywhere, which was enough to show that the battle last night was fierce.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Jingshu was a lot older and thin, but he could be so romantically involved with such a charming woman. It was simply unbelievable.

The four of them introduced each other.

Su Heng learned that the woman who accompanied her uncle was called Lin Wan'er, 35 years old. Her husband died when she went out to work in her early years, leaving her alone in the ancient house. That day, Yuan Jingshu and Yuan Jingshu hit it off. It happened that Yuan Jingshu didn't marry and have children, so the two simply became husband and wife with the help of the old village chief.

"Wait a minute, you guys are getting married?" Su Heng was slightly surprised.

Yuan Jingshu nodded: "Of course, after the hospital's longevity banquet is over, we will organize the wedding banquet for me and Wan'er."

"What about the Taoist Academy?"

"There is a senior brother in charge of the Taoist temple. I just choose an auspicious day to return to secular life."

When Su Heng heard this, his head almost got bigger. This uncle has returned to secular life, and the ceremony of his transfer and acceptance will be troublesome.

"Uncle, have you really thought about it carefully? Marriage is not a child's play."

"Old Taoist, I have been single all my life, with no power or money, but I finally found a lover who is so beautiful." Yuan Jingshu pinched Lin Wan'er's plump thigh, "Is this still something to consider?"

"Be serious!" She poured tea for Su Heng, "Don't laugh when I say it. Although I am not a young girl, my appearance is not bad. In the past few years of being a widow, many people have come to ask for marriage, but I have not looked down on them. Only when I saw him, I felt lost, as if I owed him in my previous life. They say people have predestined relationships, but I didn’t believe it before, but now I do. Come, drink tea.”

Yuan Jingshu, who holds the title of Maoshan Taoist priest, is indeed a miserable man. Su Heng learned about the backgrounds of the two uncles. They lost their parents in the catastrophe of evil spirits and were adopted by Maoshan Taoist Temple. The Taoist Temple was originally a poor place. The two uncles spent the first half of their lives struggling to make a living. After middle age, life improved, but it was still difficult to get married and have children.

Now, when he meets a woman who is not greedy for money, doesn't despise her age, and is willing to marry him, this is like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, how to let go?
  "Congratulations to both of you first. Why didn't you inform my master in time about this matter?"

Mentioning this matter, Yuan Jingshu looked embarrassed: "I've been so busy these days that I forgot about it. I'll call back later."

It seems that Uncle Shouxing has made up his mind and the transmission of the message will probably be postponed until after his wedding. “Where is Uncle Shouxin? Where is he now?”

"My brother, he should be in the back mountain. It's almost time to come back."

Back mountain? What is a fat old man doing in the back mountains?
  "Kageki! I'm back!"

A loud voice like a bell came from downstairs, and Yuan Jingshu looked happy: "Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here."

When Yuan Jinghong appeared, Su Heng was secretly surprised. The real Uncle Second Master is almost as fat as in the photo, but his complexion and aura are completely different.

In the photo, Yuan Jinghong looks pale and looks depressed. But the person standing in front of him had a ruddy complexion, spoke with great energy, and walked with vigor.

"have a guest?"

Lin Wan'er introduced the identities of Su Heng and Su Heng to Yuan Jinghong, and also offered him her seat.

"It turns out to be my nephew. It doesn't matter. You sit down. I just caught a few pheasants and I need to do some hunting in the kitchen. I'll have a cup of tea and leave."

Yuan Jinghong took a cup of tea from his soon-to-be sister-in-law and drank it in one gulp without burning his mouth.

"You guys can chat slowly and stay for dinner tonight."

After that, he went out on his own.

Su Heng suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

"What is Uncle Second Master busy with?"

Yuan Jingshu said cheerfully: "Today is the last day of the birthday banquet. The old village chief invited the whole village to eat for free. The kitchen has been busy since the morning and is still too busy. Your second uncle has gone to help."

"It turns out that Uncle Second Master can also cook."

"How can your second uncle know how to cook? Why don't you eat at the village banquet and cry bitterly, saying that before this meal, all he ate was shit? Then he decided to stay, learn cooking skills, and become a village master. Chef. Don’t blame him for exaggerating. The vegetables and chickens grown by the people in the mountains are all natural and pollution-free, and they are just more fragrant than those in the city..."

"Wait a minute, Second Master Uncle also plans to stay here?"

Yuan Jingshu was a little uncomfortable being forcibly interrupted, but he could understand Su Heng's mood. Mingming was entrusted by the master to go to remote villages to look for them, but what he got was the decision of the two uncles to stay in the mountain village.

This is much more serious than previous hangovers and other series of incidents, and you might be angered by the excuse of not being able to do things well when you go back.

But Yuan Jingshu understands his senior brother's temper very well. The seemingly harsh old man is actually gentler than anyone else.

But this time is different. They want to return to secular life and completely give up the Taoist temple they once swore to protect for life. Can I still be forgiven?

There is nothing they can do if they cannot be forgiven. From beginning to end, protecting the Taoist temple is not their dream. After all, they just want to live an ordinary and happy life. I finally got the opportunity, and I couldn’t give it up no matter what.

"Yes, don't worry. You don't need to convey this matter. I will personally explain the situation to my senior brother later. In short, today is a big day, so be happy."

This is not a question of whether to convey it or not. Su Heng is not afraid of Wang Zhiyuan's accountability at all. His purpose is very clear. He is to bring the two uncles back, preside over the transfer ceremony, and gain more power to eliminate Sister Xia Qin. The curse increases the probability of survival in this world.

It was hard to find two uncles, but now they want to return to secular life?
  Are you kidding me?
  Even if he returns to secular life, it must be after he has passed on and received the teachings!
  "Uncle, I think..."

"Wait."

This time it was Yuan Jingshu's turn to interrupt Su Heng. His cell phone rang, and the caller was Wang Zhiyuan.
