Chapter 2

Three Views Broken

Arriving in front of the bungalow, the old Taoist priest walked straight to the middle door, pushed the door open and entered.

Ren Ning hesitated for a moment and followed in.

The room is not big, and the furnishings inside are very simple. The most conspicuous ones are a bed, a table, two wooden chairs, and a wooden cabinet next to the bed, presumably for storing clothes.

When he came to the table, the old Taoist motioned Ren Ning to sit down, took two cups, poured water into each, pushed one cup in front of Ren Ning, and then sat down.

"The old Taoist's surname is Fu, and his Dharma name is Tiancheng. I wonder how the lay people call him?"

Ren Ning quickly replied: "My surname is Ren, and my last name is Ning."

He was somewhat restrained. After all, he had been taught since he was a child that these Taoist priests were all engaged in feudal superstition. As for clergy, it was best to stay away from them.

Taoist Master Fu smiled slightly and joked: "Ren layman, don't be nervous, the Taoist is not a tiger and will not eat you."

"I wonder if you can tell me about the process of getting this bronze mirror?"

I don't know whether it was because Daozhang Fu had a special affinity or for some other reason, but Ren Ning gradually relaxed.

He pushed the bronze mirror from the table to the old Taoist priest, then told the story of how he bought the bronze mirror from the flower and bird market, and also told about the strange dreams he had been having recently.

Taoist Master Fu rubbed the bronze mirror in his hand, his eyes full of memories, and slowly said something that Ren Ning expected but also unexpectedly said.

It turns out that Lotus Temple was very big many years ago. It was not just a small courtyard like it is now, but a building covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

At that time, there were more than twenty Taoist priests, large and small, in the temple.

That year, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and all the Taoist priests in the temple went to join the war, leaving only Fu Tiancheng, the youngest at the time, to watch.

At that time, Fu Tiancheng was seventeen years old.

Ren Ning was secretly shocked. The old Taoist priest in front of him who looked to be in his seventies was actually close to a hundred years old.

Following the old Taoist priest's narration, his suspicion was confirmed. None of the more than 20 Taoist priests who went out to participate in the war came back.

It's not that I don't want to come back, but it's very likely that they will all die in battle!

At first, some people sent the ashes of the Taoist priests who died in the battle, but then there was slowly no news.

Fu Tiancheng guarded the Taoist temple alone, but he could not completely guard it. At that time, he was forced to return to secular life, and the Taoist temple was destroyed.

It was not until the 1980s that he came back alone and reluctantly restored the main hall.

The purpose is to wait for the return of the fellow disciples, waiting for the eventuality.

It's a pity that over the years, none of the elders and brothers in the temple have returned.

An inexplicable emotion arose in Ren Ning's heart, passionate? tragic? or some other emotion, he couldn't tell clearly at this time.

I just felt uncomfortable, and unconsciously, my eyes became wet.

After a while, he heard Taoist Master Fu say: "This bronze mirror is the magical weapon of my senior brother Li Tiande. Maybe it is destined to be with you, and the breath is connected, so you can have those dreams."

"Now, I give you two choices. One is that I take back this bronze mirror and give you eight thousand yuan; the other is that you keep the bronze mirror, and I will dispose of the information in the bronze mirror, and you won't be able to keep it with me.

I’ll have those weird dreams again.”

Ren Ning was somewhat torn. Originally, he came to Lotus Temple to send the bronze mirror away, but after hearing the story, he had an inexplicable feeling that he was reluctant to part with the bronze mirror.

Even if the price of 8,000 given by the Taoist priest is really tempting.

However, he also knew that although he bought this bronze mirror and the real owner was not here, if he had to say it, the old Taoist priest in front of him was more qualified to own this bronze mirror.

Send back? Keep?

Suddenly, he remembered the scenes in his dream and couldn't help but ask: "Taoist Master, are the scenes in my dream real? For example, martial arts and magic, are they real?"

Fu Tiancheng smiled slightly, put the mirror on the table, held his right hand in front of him, formed a hand gesture, pointed at the mirror on the table, and shouted softly: "Get up!"

The next second, a magical scene appeared: the bronze mirror on the table actually floated with the old Taoist's "rise", and following the old Taoist's gesture command, the bronze mirror actually rotated around the two of them.

Circled.

Ren Ning suddenly felt that the three views he had formed over the past twenty years had been ruthlessly shattered, and the fragments were even thrown to the ground and crushed.

It turned out to be true!

Spell! Magic weapon!

What is written in the novel is not a lie?!

Those scenes in the dream are not illusions?!

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, doubting that the scene in front of him was just an illusion.

When he stretched out his hand to touch the bronze mirror flying in the air, the bronze mirror flew directly over and landed on his hand.

A slightly cold and pressing feeling came to his hand, and he was sure that what he saw was not an illusion, but reality.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

So shocking!

At this time, the voice of the old Taoist Master Fu Tiancheng came to my ears: "Don't be too surprised. If you are interested, I can teach you."

Ren Ning was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. He put the bronze mirror on the table, stood up, pushed away the chair, knelt down directly in front of the old Taoist priest, kowtowed three times, and even said "Master" without saying a word.

However, he felt a powerful force rising from the ground, lifting him up.

Taoist Master Fu Tiancheng smiled and said, "I just taught you, but I didn't say I wanted to accept you as my disciple."

Ren Ning opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

In fact, after the impulse passed, he remembered that he was an only child at home, and if he really wanted to become a Taoist priest, he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the test at home.

Next, Taoist Master Fu Tiancheng took the bronze mirror over, stretched out his hand and wiped it gently, then handed it to Ren Ning and said: "Okay, you can keep the mirror with confidence, and you will not be affected by it in the future.

What a weird dream.”

Ren Ning took the mirror and thanked her profusely.

Only then did he realize that the rust stains on the mirror that could not be removed by repeated cleaning with steel balls had disappeared, and the entire mirror looked brand new, just like a brand new bronze mirror.

If he hadn't just seen it with his own eyes, he would have doubted whether the mirror in his hand had been tampered with.

Rubbing the mirror in his hand, Ren Ning asked weakly: "Taoist Master, that, I don't know how much study fee is needed, red envelope?"

A poor student who has just graduated and has not yet found a job cannot afford the tuition if it is too expensive.

Of course, he had no objection to paying tuition, let alone such a magical spell. But after all, spells couldn't be eaten as food, so he always had to think about how to live.

Taoist priest Fu Tiancheng glanced at Ren Ning and said with a smile: "You don't have a job yet, right? Why don't you consider coming to the temple to help with something?"
