Chapter 869 Miaokun Temple

"Aunt, are you drinking again?"

Along with a clear voice, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old walked out of the inn. The young man was wearing a tight suit and holding a wooden sword in his hand. He had a good appearance and a pair of black and white eyes that showed a sense of cleverness.

Li Ming's heart moved when he saw this person. Although he had not yet touched his bones to take a closer look, he knew from the man's aura that he was definitely talented.

"Perhaps, this opportunity should be given to him."

When the young man saw the proprietress holding a wine glass, he immediately put his hands on his hips and spoke.

"Sun Sanniang! What did you promise me before? Why are you drinking again? Every time you drink, you talk nonsense and do stupid things. I will have to clean up your mess!"

But before he could finish his words, he started screaming.

It turned out that the proprietress had stood up and stood beside him at some point, grabbed his ear and cursed.

"Li Tianyun, you little bastard! Why haven't you been seen since early this morning? Are you going to play in the back mountain again? There are wolves on that mountain! How am I going to explain to your parents if something happens?!"

Seeing that he was being held, the young man was in so much pain that he could only shout for mercy and beg for mercy. It took him a long time to escape and he crawled to the kitchen to help.

Seeing this, Li Ming just laughed, poured another glass of wine for the proprietress, and asked following what the young man Li Tianyun said.

"Sanniang, this doll is yours"

Sun Sanniang sighed with regret and shook her head, saying, "Back then, his parents and I were close friends. Later, he entrusted the child to me, and then he disappeared without a trace. I haven't seen them in ten years. I don't know if they are dead or alive. Alas, poor Tianyun. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Taoist priest."

As Sun Sanniang spoke, her eyes turned slightly red. She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or because she was really emotional. She sighed deeply and drank a few more glasses.

"I've asked people to inquire about him over the past few years, but there's been no news. If they're just looking for fun, Tianyun is their biological child after all. Why wouldn't they come to see him? Even though he laughs and jokes with me every day, how could I not know that some people always say he's a wild child?"

Li Ming shook his head, said a few words to comfort him, and asked casually.

"I came from another place and traveled here. I saw the beautiful scenery and the harmonious government. I wanted to build a Taoist temple. It doesn't need to be big, just three or four rooms will do, enough for me to chant scriptures and practice day and night."

Sun Sanniang was startled when she heard this. She looked Li Ming up and down, and seeing that Li Ming was indeed young, she sneered.

"Young Taoist priest, please don't joke. Judging from your age, you're probably not even a disciple yet. Why are you talking about setting up your own Taoist temple? Besides, a Taoist temple is no different from other temples. There are many troublesome things to do. You need some skills to manage everything."

Li Ming smiled calmly upon hearing this, and said confidently, "Without three-thirds of the three-thirds, how dare I go to Liangshan (a similar idiom in this world). I'm certainly not a liar. I'm only asking Sanniang for any connections. I'll handle the rest. Of course, regardless of success or failure, this is all a thank you gift to Sanniang."

As he spoke, Li Ming took out three gold leaves from his waist and placed them on the table. One gold leaf was worth ten taels of silver, which made thirty taels of silver. In today's environment, it was enough for an ordinary family of six or seven to live for three to five years.

Seeing Sanniang's hesitation, Li Ming continued, "If it really works out, I'll naturally give you a generous gift."

Only then did Sun Sanniang realize that the young Taoist priest in front of her was indeed extraordinary. She sobered up a little and said very seriously, "But I don't know his long Dharma name."

Li Ming hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am unintentional!"

"Master Wuxin?" Sun Sanniang repeated the name twice, as if she felt that the name was a little strange, but she still took the three gold leaves and said.

"There used to be a Taoist temple in our town, but the Taoist priest Wang who was in charge of the temple was infected with an epidemic two years ago, and his three disciples also died of the disease. Later, other people thought that the temple was unlucky and stopped going there to burn incense and pray. It has been abandoned since then. If Taoist Wuxin is really interested and doesn't mind, then Taoist priest Wang's temple would be a great choice. It also has a good location, quiet in the middle of the city, and it's only two blocks away on the corner."

Li Ming smiled slightly and said calmly, "If this is the case, then it's certainly a good idea. I'd like to ask Sanniang to take care of the arrangements for me. I have no shortage of people to take care of this."

Sun Sanniang looked at Li Ming, whose expression was indifferent, with her eyes flickering. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she nodded and said.

"In that case, Sanniang should try her best."

"Very good, very good. Please give me a room upstairs." Li Ming also took the opportunity to stay at the Yunlai Inn.

Sure enough, Sun Sanniang had quite a few connections in the local area, and with Li Ming's gold and silver, she could arrange everything clearly. Of course, there were also two local hooligans who were not very smart and wanted to bully Li Ming, a foreigner, after hearing about this.

Of course, with Li Ming's methods, the two men were naturally taught a lesson, which also dispelled the ideas of some people later. At the same time, many people also knew that a young Taoist priest had come to Gantian Town recently, and although he was young, he seemed to have good skills.

About half a month later, the Sanqing Temple finally reopened, but with a new name.

Miaokun Temple!
This Taoist temple is indeed as Sun Sanniang said. The location is pretty good. The key is that it is quiet in the middle of a city and has complete facilities. It is just a bit old. In addition to the side rooms, there is also a small vegetable garden. Of course, it is now a wasteland, but it will not take much effort to reclaim it.

Half a month is enough time for Li Ming to renovate it from top to bottom. As for why it is renovation instead of renovation, it is naturally because Li Ming still wants to retain some ancient charm.

The Miaokun Temple opened silently, with the dusty gate opening one morning.

Perhaps it was because the epidemic had a bad reputation at that time, even though Li Ming reopened Miaokun Temple, few people came.

Li Ming didn't care about it. He just practiced in the temple day and night and comprehended the "Taiyin Zhenwen".

Compared with Yu Hua, Li Ming's talent and understanding are naturally far superior. Now that he is directly comprehending the original version of "Taiyin Zhenwen", he naturally understands more.

The Taoism that Yu Hua comprehended was off the track and deviated from the principle of yin and yang cooperation. He only collected the brilliance of the moon, emphasized the spirit and soul over the body, and went all the way to pure yin. As the saying goes, "a single yin cannot grow, a single yang cannot be born." The consequence of such practice is that the spirit and soul are increasingly condensed, but the body cannot keep up, and instead has some yin characteristics. Li Ming speculated that if Yu Hua did not change his foundation, he would have to completely abandon his body when he went further, or transform his body into his spirit and soul, lacking the pure yang energy, and achieving the path of a ghost immortal.
