"Ah?" Tian Wangshou was stunned. She looked at the box again. The three hundred yuan that Xu Chuxia had just put in was gone.
Although there was a lot of money in the box, because Tian Wangshou's eyes were staring, she remembered the position of the money. However, she didn't see what Xiao Chen did. In the blink of an eye, the three hundred yuan was in her hands!
At this time, Xu Chuxia had already walked to the entrance of the Taoist temple. Before Tian Wangshou could see clearly, she was carried away by Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Qiang, how did you get it back?" Tian Wangshou reacted and asked quickly.
"Shh … Don't let Chuxia hear you," Xiao Chen said. Xu Chuxia was so devoted to this Taoist temple. If she knew that the money that she put in was taken out by him, wouldn't she fly into a rage?
Tian Sour also immediately realized this point and shut her mouth. However, in her heart, she thought to herself, This Xiao Qiang really agrees to all requests. My decision is really wise. It feels so good to have such a person at my beck and call. Sister Sour is so smart!
When they arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple, they were stopped. Not everyone could enter the Taoist temple. There was a young Taoist priest at the entrance who was screening people to enter the Taoist temple.
And his screening method was also very special. Light incense!
All the tourists who wanted to enter the Taoist temple formed a long line. In front of the line was an incense burner. Next to the incense burner stood a young Taoist priest supervising the screening.
Every tourist had a chance to light incense. Everyone had a match. The match was very short, only half a normal match. Everyone came up to light the incense in the incense burner. Those who lit it could enter the Taoist temple. Those who didn't light it could only leave or line up again from the back. However, there were at least a hundred people in this line. Just the line alone took a while.
In front of them, a bald man was lighting incense. The incense was very thick. Not to mention half a match, even eight or ten matches might not be able to light it. The man obviously failed to light the incense.
"This thing is clearly making things difficult for people! How can half a match light it? This incense is so thick. Aren't you tricking people? We donated money to the cleansing pool, but we still have to light incense! "The bald man's match was about to burn his hand, but he still couldn't light it. He couldn't help but complain.
"Amitayus Buddha, don't you see that someone has also entered the Daoist temple?" The Little Daoist faintly smiled and said, "Lighting incense is all about luck. It doesn't mean that it can't be lit. Even though the match is short, if many people light it, the residual heat on the incense won't dissipate. Naturally, it can be lit!"
"Forget it, I'll line up again!" the bald man said, a little depressed.
"Of course you can. Benefactor, please go to the Body Cleansing Pool first and queue up again!" After saying that, another young Taoist left with the bald man …
"This is really a scam? If I can't light it up, I'll have to line up again and donate money? " Tian Souran said unhappily, "Chuxia, did you meet a scammer? This Taoist temple looks like a place to cheat people of their money!"
"Souran, don't talk nonsense. In fact, this is also a last resort. Otherwise, with so many people coming every day, if they could all enter the Taoist temple, it wouldn't be able to accommodate all of them, right?" Xu Chuxia said.
"Okay, but I think it's as difficult as going to heaven to light the incense. It's like a lucky draw. There are hundreds of people, and there's only one or two." Tian Souran said gloomily, "If we can't light it up, do we have to line up again?"
"Of course!" Xu Chuxia said.
The long line in front of the line shortened bit by bit. Most people failed and left or tried again. However, there were two people who successfully lit the incense and successfully entered the Taoist temple!
Every person who lit the incense could bring two friends with them. One of the successful people only had one friend, and the other spot was brought in by someone nearby. She didn't know what conditions he promised, but he was very happy.
There were fewer and fewer people in front of the line. Finally, it was Xu Chuxia's turn. Before this, many people had failed to light the incense. Xu Chuxia roughly estimated that she really had a chance. If she was lucky, she might succeed on her first try.
However, to her surprise, just as it was about to be her turn, the customer in front of her actually lit the incense successfully and successfully entered the Taoist temple with his friend!
When it was Xu Chuxia's turn, she actually got a new incense. If she wanted to light it, it was basically impossible. Xu Chuxia suddenly felt very depressed. She took the match from the young Taoist and sighed.
"Let me do it!" Xiao Chen knew that it was impossible for Xu Chuxia to light the incense. However, she wouldn't give up, so the end result was that a few people would have to donate money and line up again.
Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't waste such meaningless time, so he directly snatched the match from Xu Chuxia's hand!
This made Xu Chuxia a little surprised, but she didn't say anything. She also wouldn't blame Xiao Chen for trying to show off. Because if Xiao Chen lit the incense, the result would be the same. It would be impossible to light the incense. Therefore, she let Xiao Chen do it.
Xiao Chen took the match, lit it directly, and then went to light the incense. However, the flame on the match looked ordinary, but Xiao Chen used a little Samadhi True Fire to light it.
The result was as expected. The incense was quickly lit, and green smoke came out. At this time, Xiao Chen's match was almost burnt to the end, so Xiao Chen threw it away …
However, this situation made the people around a little dumbfounded. The young Taoist was very puzzled. How did a match light the incense that was just changed? This was something that had never happened before. How was it possible?
However, the truth was in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it. After all, the incense really burned.
The other tourists at the back were also amazed. They felt that when Xiao Chen was lighting the incense, a gust of wind blew and helped him light the incense. But no matter what, Xiao Chen was lucky, and many people were envious.
Xu Chuxia looked at everything in front of her in shock. That was it? She was already prepared to leave and start all over again.
"Xiao Qiang, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Sister Sour Sour realized that you kind of meet Sister Sour Sour's criteria for choosing a partner, but you're a little too poor. You still have to work hard! "Tian Sour said with a smile.
"Three kind people, please come in!" Although the young Taoist was puzzled, he still followed the rules and invited Xiao Chen and the other two into the Taoist temple.
As soon as they entered the Taoist temple, the smell of nature hit them in the face, making them feel refreshed. Tian Sour was a little surprised. "Chuxia, you don't say. This Taoist temple is really something!"
"Of course. As I said, Taoist Priest Lu Li's immortal water is very useful!" Xu Chuxia nodded. The Taoist temple was refreshing and pleasant. There was no winter chill. The wind blew on their faces, and it felt like spring and autumn.
The Taoist temple was decorated elegantly. The path was quiet, and there were pavilions and ancient trees. The scenery was beautiful, as if they were in a painting.
They walked forward and passed through a long corridor. There was another door in front of them, and there were two young Taoist priests guarding the door. When they arrived here, Xiao Chen and the others were also stopped.
"Why is there a sentry?" Xiao Chen was a little puzzled. Why was it more difficult to enter a Taoist temple than Xu Chuxia's father's research institute? There was a sentry every few steps. Were they letting people in or not?
There was a picture scroll at the door. On it were some crooked and irregular colored patterns. He didn't know what they were, but the young Taoist priest said, "Three kind people, tell me what you see in this picture scroll. If you're right, you can enter!"
What? Xiao Chen was stunned. Was this a guessing game? Did they think this was a variety show? Xiao Chen was a little depressed!
Tian Wangshou looked at Xu Chuxia strangely. "Chuxia, was it like this when you came last time?"
"Yes, but the test is different every year. Only this year's test seems to be especially difficult!" Xu Chuxia was also a little troubled. What was in this picture? She couldn't tell!
Tian Wangshou didn't dare to be slow. Since they were already here, she obviously wouldn't be willing to go back. Therefore, she jumped down from Xiao Chen's body and began to carefully observe the picture.
After observing for a long time, she couldn't see anything special about it. She made a random guess. "I think this is an abstract painting. It was painted by Taoist Priest Lu Li, right? This painting depicts Taoist Priest Lu Li's inner world! "
"That's not right." Tian Wangshou's eloquence was only met with a heartless rejection from the young Taoist priest. He shook his head expressionlessly and said, "What about you guys? Time is limited. Answer as soon as possible. "
Xu Chuxia pondered for a long time and then said carefully, "I think the colorful and various colors in the painting represent the boundless world …"
Actually, Xu Chuxia had no other choice. Tian Wangshou's word "world" reminded her, so Xu Chuxia had an idea. However, she felt that what she said was somewhat reliable.
"No!" The young Taoist priest shook his head and denied Xu Chuxia's words. Xu Chuxia's face turned pale and she sighed.
"Where is this kind person?" The young Taoist priest looked at Xiao Chen and said, "It's time!"
Although Xiao Chen was a cultivator, this thing had nothing to do with cultivators. It was not something that could be solved with special abilities. How would Xiao Chen know what this painting was?
He knew nothing about painting, so he couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense at this moment. He just braced himself and said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but I can't see anything! This is just a messy colorful graffiti! "
"Yes, this kind person is an honest person. Please enter!" The young Taoist priest nodded and then made a gesture to invite him in.
"Huh?!" Tian Wangshou stared at Xiao Chen strangely. This was right again? How could this work?
"There's nothing at all. Why are you making us guess?" Even if Xu Chuxia was qualified to enter, she was still a little dissatisfied.
"This kind woman, the first threshold of Heavenly Purity Temple is to purify the body and remove the stink of money from the body. The second threshold is to purify the heart. Only honest people can enter!" The Little Daoist explained, "What this kind person said is right. There's nothing in this painting. It's just a random drawing. To be honest, we can't see anything. If we insist on spouting nonsense just to enter the door, then we're just lying!"
