Dragon's Origin
#1086 - Open the door (above)
Sure enough, as they continued along the strange mountain terrain, Wang Sheng saw more and more Taoists. These Taoists all bowed respectfully to Wang Sheng and Elder Ling Xu.
"No way!" As they walked along and saw the solitary little Taoist temple on the desolate mountain, Wang Sheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
So crude? The Taoist temple looked like it hadn't been renovated for many years, dilapidated and rickety, as if a slightly stronger wind could blow it apart.
The Taoist temple was really small, so small that it only had a row of three rooms, without even a courtyard. If it weren't for the large incense burner at the entrance, Wang Sheng wouldn't have been sure it was a Taoist temple.
The most unbelievable thing was that in such a desolate place, a small, broken Taoist temple actually had resident Taoists. Judging by the fact that the incense burner showed no signs of rust, someone must be taking care of it every day.
This dilapidated Taoist temple was located on Mount Lao, visible to everyone who came and went. Although it was a bit remote, it was undeniable that it had never been hidden. Walking from the foot of the mountain to the Taoist temple, one could see a clear path worn out by people.
Indeed, the most dangerous place is also the safest. Mount Lao had never prohibited anyone from entering, nor had it restricted anyone from coming here. Moreover, the terrain here was not the highest. Although the road was a bit difficult, the terrain here was clearly visible from the surrounding high mountains, and the Taoist temple had no concealment whatsoever.
"Is this the place of inheritance?" Wang Sheng asked Elder Ling Xu.
The old Taoist seemed to enjoy Wang Sheng's surprised look, and nodded with a smile.
Since it's the place of inheritance, you should clean it up properly! But this broken Taoist temple is still in a dilapidated state. If it weren't for so many old Taoists around, Wang Sheng would have suspected that Elder Ling Xu was taking him for a ride.
However, it was undeniable that this place was indeed beyond Wang Sheng's expectations. Even Wang Sheng, a well-trained ace sniper who wouldn't miss any details, didn't expect this to be the place of inheritance. It was estimated that ordinary people wouldn't think of it either.
Walking along the rugged path towards the Taoist temple, the closer Wang Sheng got, the stranger he felt. Wasn't it said that the place of inheritance should be protected by a powerful inheritance formation? Why was there no aura of formation fluctuations here?
The old Taoist didn't seem to be planning to explain, but Wang Sheng suspected that it was more likely that the old Taoist didn't know either.
The middle one of the three broken rooms had a similarly dilapidated statue of Laozi. The clay figure had faded in many places, and some parts were damaged. Obviously, even if there was incense, it wasn't much. It was clean, but it couldn't hide the traces of time on the outside.
Following the old Taoist, Wang Sheng and the old Taoist bowed to the statue of Laozi at the door. It wasn't that they didn't want to go in, but the inside was too small, and there was really no room.
After bowing, Wang Sheng followed the old Taoist to the room on the left, which looked like a kitchen. After entering, he saw a familiar old Taoist from the Qing generation.
The old Taoist bowed to them and then pointed to the side of the stove. There was a dark hole more than half a person high, with several steps, which obviously led downwards.
Well, a Taoist temple above to conceal it, and the place of inheritance hidden in the mountainè…¹ below the Taoist temple, which could barely be justified.
Wang Sheng didn't let Elder Ling Xu lead the way, but took the lead in bending down and entering. When entering, Wang Sheng couldn't help but grit his teeth, because the entrance was a bit too narrow. Wang Sheng was big, so he could only barely squeeze in sideways.
Fortunately, after going down a few steps, it became spacious. At least Wang Sheng could stand up, and both sides were much wider. Even if Wang Sheng swung his arms freely, he wouldn't touch both sides.
After walking down for about dozens of meters, Wang Sheng saw the light and also saw a group of people.
Saying a group, it was actually only a dozen people, half of whom were familiar old Taoists from the Lao Temple, and the unfamiliar ones were only six, all of whom looked like they had good cultivation and were not young. Their clothes were slightly different from those of the Lao Temple, but they were generally the same.
"Ling Xu has met the several head teachers!" After going down with the old Taoist, the old Taoist politely saluted the six unfamiliar old Taoists. Wang Sheng also followed suit, introducing himself and saluting the other party. This was a major event for the inheritance of Taoism, and etiquette must not be underestimated. It was related to Mei'er's future safety, and Wang Sheng didn't want to be ruined by a little bit of carelessness in the details.
"Dare not! Greetings, Old Ancestor!" As soon as Ling Xu saluted, the several head teachers hurriedly returned the salute. Elder Ling Xu was not only the oldest generation in the Lao Temple, but also one of the best in the entire Taoist sect. Although these old Taoists were all head teachers, which one dared to be rude to Elder Ling Xu?
"Greetings, Duke Changsheng!" After saluting the old Taoist, these head teachers turned to Wang Sheng and saluted Wang Sheng. However, they did not call Wang Sheng Elder, but Duke Changsheng.
"Everyone is here, let's begin!" Among the six head teachers, one seemed to be particularly unwilling and urged directly.
The other five seemed very calm. Although Wang Sheng could already see excitement and excitement in their eyes, their behavior still maintained the composure of Taoist masters.
"The location of my Taoist sect's inheritance place is only known by my Lao Temple." The Grand Temple Master stood up and said to the six head teachers: "Now that the place has arrived, please check it before opening the door."
The six head teachers did not have any politeness at this time. They stepped forward together and walked to the smooth stone wall opposite.
From the words of the Grand Temple Master just now, Wang Sheng knew that the Lao Temple should have mastered the location, but not the key to open the door. The several head teachers mastered the key to open the door, but they did not know the location. It was estimated that it was also a balance of the Taoist ancestors for the different factions of the Taoist sect!
Wang Sheng even believed that the impatient person should be the guy who didn't agree with Wang Sheng's participation before. But he didn't know what method the Grand Temple Master used to make him nod. But even so, he seemed to want to show his unwillingness in front of everyone. Typical lip service.
There was nothing on the bare stone wall, and it could be seen at a glance under the light of the torches. But even so, the six head teachers carefully inspected the entire stone wall, without missing any corners. After a while, they nodded one after another and said: "There are no traces of this door being opened."
"Please open the door, head teachers!" The Grand Temple Master smiled and said to the six head teachers with confidence.
