Chapter 278 Ren Fa is here again, at the Taoist temple
Master Ikkyu shook his head repeatedly and retorted, "In my heart, there is only the distinction between right and wrong, good and evil. I would never want to act in this way, nor do I want to make enemies with the Taoist sect. All things in the world should live in harmony and should not kill each other for the sake of power."
Master Kuzhu was furious: "Foolish! If you insist on doing this, you will no longer be a disciple of my Buddhist sect!"
“Alright! But I will fight alongside my fellow Taoists against you zombies and evil bald monks!” Master Ikkyu said, slowly kneeling down and kowtowing three times before resolutely standing up and walking out of the meditation room.
"You bastard, come back here!"
However, Ikkyu did not turn around. He simply took off his monk's robe and, wearing only simple clothes, strode out of the temple into the bright sunlight.
He heard shouts from his fellow disciples behind him, but he seemed not to hear them and did not turn around.
From this moment on, he was simply Ikkyu, no longer bound by his Buddhist identity.
He also knew that things were about to change.
At the same time, I was wondering, where is his fellow Daoist Si Mu?

the other side.
Yizhuang.
At this moment, Chizuru was waiting in the mortuary early in the morning.
After all, with something this big happening, he couldn't just stay cooped up in Jiuquan Town.
Besides, the brothers and sisters had such a good relationship.
But early in the morning, instead of the Taoist priests from Maoshan, Ren Fa arrived.
Ren Fa hurriedly bowed to Qian He as soon as he entered the mortuary, which left Qian He bewildered.
"Mr. Ren, what's going on?"
"Oh dear, Master Qianhe, I went to Jiuquan Town early this morning to look for you, but the neighbors all said you weren't home. I thought you must be at Uncle Jiu's mortuary, so I came here. I didn't expect to actually find you."
As Ren Fa spoke, he immediately showed a grateful expression and said, "Master Qianhe, we owe our trip to the main family to you. You did a great job killing that old zombie, and as for the main family's affairs, if it weren't for your help, how could I have successfully taken down the main family? Everything is going smoothly now, and it's all thanks to you."
Upon hearing Ren Fa's words, Qian He waved her hand and said, "Mr. Ren, you are too kind. I just don't know what brings you here so early in the morning?"
"Here's the thing, I've already taken control of the main family. You've come to see Daoist Qianhe to ask when you'll start building the Daoist temple? You choose the location and all that, leave the rest to me!"
"Oh, so that's what it was. I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it." Chizuru slapped her forehead and remembered.
Ren Fa had promised him that if he helped him take over the master's house, he would build him a Taoist temple.
Ren Fa rubbed his hands and chuckled, while Qian He smiled and said, "Master Ren is very thoughtful, but the location and layout of this Taoist temple are quite particular."
Ren Fa nodded quickly and said, "I will follow Master Qianhe's arrangements."
"Okay, I'll just give you a brief explanation!"
Ren Fa nodded after listening.
.........................
Qianhe cleared her throat and said, "The location of this Taoist temple should be a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, with a mountain behind it, preferably with a continuous mountain range, symbolizing a solid foundation. It would be best if there were a stream flowing in front, but the water should not be too fast, as this means that wealth will come from all directions."
Ren Fa sat at the table, leaning slightly forward, his hands folded on the table, listening intently to Qianhe's story.
He would nod slightly from time to time to show his agreement and understanding of what the other person was saying, his eyes shining with a focused and serious light, as if he wanted to imprint every word deep in his mind.
Ren Fa chuckled and said, "Isn't this exactly what the back mountain of Renjia Town looks like?"
His words conveyed a sense of understanding.
Qianhe smiled and nodded, replying, "That's right, the back mountain of Renjia Town is indeed a beautiful and tranquil place."
Then, Ren Fa eagerly followed up with, "What about other aspects of this Taoist temple? For example, how should its overall layout be planned for the best effect?"
After a moment's thought, Chizuru began to explain in detail.
As he spoke, he raised his arm and gestured in the air to indicate the approximate location of each building.
Qianhe then explained in detail: "First of all, the main gate of the Taoist temple must face east, so as to welcome the rising sun every morning and the auspicious purple aura. After entering the gate, the front courtyard should be designed to be relatively spacious, giving people a sense of openness and tranquility."
Furthermore, a beautifully crafted incense burner should be placed in the very center of the front courtyard for worshippers to offer incense and pray for blessings. The Sanqing Hall, the core of the entire Taoist temple, must be built in the most prominent and important central position, its scale grand and majestic enough to demonstrate the supreme status and authority of the Three Pure Ones. In addition, two side halls should be established on either side of the Sanqing Hall.
