Chapter 187 Joy and Kindness At this time, several people were already in the county government office, and they even had time to find an affordable restaurant and have lunch. "So you are the Master from Yishan. I am so sorry for your disrespect!" The magistrate of Mingxia was not a good official, but this type of official was always good at getting along with different people. If you were not below them but above them, you would get along with them very happily. Hearing that they were all nephews of the Taoist priest who had the ability to drive away the Green Sprout God, the magistrate was very respectful and would call them Master whenever he spoke. "Since you are the nephews of Chen Zhenren, and the deed of Qingyi Temple is in your hands, Qingyi Temple will naturally belong to you from now on. I will take care of the registration. You don't need to worry about anything. The county clerks will naturally handle it." "Thank you very much." "Thank you very much. The Qingyi Temple has been abandoned for several years and should have been reopened long ago. With a real person in charge, I think the gods will be more effective, and we, the parents, will feel at ease, hahahaha." County Magistrate Mingxia spoke very nicely. After saying that, he called in two more constables and asked them to go to Qingyi Temple and remove the seal of the Taoist temple.
Several Taoists did not join the constables because they still had to wander around the city to do some shopping. However, they did not want to listen to the county magistrate's polite words, so they walked out of the county government office. But I didn't expect that the middle-aged man was still there. "Why haven't the believers gone back yet?" "I have no way to repay the kindness of the Taoist priests." The middle-aged man wanted to cry but had no tears. "Besides, the Taoist priests lent Liu Laizi more than a hundred taels of silver, which may be difficult to recover. How can I have the nerve to leave?" "Ha ha!" The seventh brother raised his head and laughed loudly, saying, "Don't worry, believer. Liu Laizi has already returned the money and given him the IOU." "Ah? When?" The middle-aged man looked confused and puzzled. After meeting this group of Taoist priests in the morning, he stayed with them all the time, and they had lunch together, and he paid for the lunch with silver. Later, he brought them to the county government office, saying that he would go back after bringing them to the county government office, but in fact he had been waiting for them at the door. How come he didn't know when Liu Laizi would pay back the money? But I only saw a few Taoists laughing: "I've already paid it back." "Don't be anxious. Although we Taoists practice in seclusion in the mountains and don't like to fight with others, we do have our own abilities." "The faithful will know the story after listening to the stories in the city in a couple of days." The Taoists all spoke in gentle tones. "what story?" The middle-aged man was of an honest character, and he was still confused in his heart. He still didn't understand it until now. "No need to ask, you will know naturally." The seventh senior brother said to him, "Believers, remember, if you come to the county again and need a place to stay overnight, you can stay at Qingyi Temple. I am not a person who can calm down, and it is too lonely to be alone in the Taoist temple." "After the believers go back, remember to keep your money safe and don't trust anyone easily in the future. If that Liu Laizi comes looking for you again, or if he replaces you with someone else, no matter what he says, don't trust him again." The second senior brother warned. "If that scoundrel comes to you to cheat, just push it onto my junior brother, or pick up a carrying pole and hit him!" The third senior brother said, "You must know that people love to bully the weak and the kind!"
"There are a lot of people here today, and this amount of money is not a small sum. Please be careful on your way back with the money." Lin Jue said. "Take care of yourself!" "Hey~" "Meow~" Several Taoists gave him some instructions. Although the middle-aged man was still in a daze, he couldn't help but feel his eyes warmed up when he heard their tone, and he felt a little moved. The Taoists didn't say much to him and left. The middle-aged man walked back with the silver money. Be very careful along the way. Less than two days later, as soon as I reached the city gate, I heard people talking about... "Liu Laizi..." "money……" "Taoist..." The middle-aged man walked very quickly. He didn't want to listen, but there were always fragments of words floating into his ears. Just a few words stopped him and made him stay where he was. He lowered his head and listened silently, his eyes gradually widening. What those people were talking about was what happened to Liu Lai Zi at noon. The middle-aged man was shocked all over, and then he realized that those Taoist priests were indeed capable of cultivation. Not only does he have cultivation, he also has magic. …… "Brother, look at what I am doing." "I look at your five qi." "Oh? Junior brother, can you also read people's five qi?" “I can’t see it, but I can guess.” "Junior brother, what do you think of my five energies?" "I don't know anything else, but I know that Senior Brother must be angry." Lin Jue retracted his gaze, "Senior Brother, stay here alone, you must take care of your health." "This……" While chatting and laughing, they had arrived at a bustling downtown. Buy some pots, pans, spoons, chopsticks, and a few cushions and straw mats to live in the Taoist temple. Buy a raincoat and a hat if you see one, and a pair of floral ornaments to prepare for the rain that may come at any time. Bedding, broom and duster.
In short, buy whatever you see. It just so happens that most of the goods are on this street, and if not on this street then only in the alleys next to it. It is very concentrated, and it is very convenient to buy and compare. The prices are almost uniform, so no one dares to sell high or low easily. He even saw people selling small donkeys, and seeing the little junior sister riding the donkey leisurely, the seventh senior brother didn't want to walk to the market in the city, so he also bought one and prepared to take it back to raise it well. It can also be considered as a place to kill time and find peace of mind. He said that he would wait until the donkey grew up, and then one day when he got drunk, he would sit on the donkey and let it carry him back. …… A few days later, next to the Taoist temple. A fox was standing by the pond. Its entire body was white except for the tip of its tail, but its two front paws were grey. Upon closer inspection, one could tell they were gray. Lin Jue stood by and made some hand gestures. "Wow!" A stream of water as thick as two fingers flew up from the pool, continuously hitting the fox, focusing on washing its front feet. The fox had a serious expression and stood upright and obediently, not moving a muscle. "Tell me, how many holes have you dug in the bamboo forest next to us in these few days?" Lin Jue said helplessly. "I can't count!" the fox answered honestly. "You still can't count? You might as well just sleep in the cave!" Lin Jue couldn't help but emphasize his tone. A colorful civet cat stood not far away, staring at this direction with its body stiff. Its expression was like a child who came to play with his friend, but happened to see his friend being beaten by his parents. The fox didn't know. After hearing this, his eyes lit up and he turned around to look at him seriously: "Hmm? Is it okay?" "I also provided you with a new idea, right?" Lin Jue was almost laughing at it. "Ok?" The fox thought for a moment before answering: "Fun!" "...Don't you think you're a cat? How can a cat think digging holes is fun?" "fox!" "Is it a fox again at this time?" "You said it! I'm not a cat, I'm a fox!" Fuyao remembered his words clearly, but after saying it, she turned around and looked at the colorful fox next to her, "Do you know? You are not a cat, you are a fox!" The colorful cat stared at it in astonishment. "Dig fewer holes next time." "Foxes love to dig holes!"
"You..." "Fun!" "Well, you can dig holes, but you can't dig on the roadside, in other people's fields, on graves, or at home. And you must wash your hands after you're done!" "Know!" The fox answered briefly and neatly, very obediently, but then asked again, "What does it mean?" "..." Lin Jue had no choice but to explain it to it slowly. As he explained, he rubbed it with his hands. The fox is really like a child, full of energy, but sensible and obedient at critical moments. It stands still and lets him scrub it as he pleases. Even if the head is rubbed a little, it doesn't care. When the water flows to its eyes, it closes them. When the force of the scrubbing is too strong and it is pushed to the side and loses its balance, it steps to the side, stands firm and then stands back. At the same time, he listened carefully to Lin Jue. If an ordinary person saw this scene, coupled with the automatically rising water column, they would probably be surprised. After working for a long time, I finally washed it clean. Lin Jue looked back with satisfaction and saw the colorful cat still beside him, so he waved to it and said: "Xiaohua, come here." Obviously, this is the name given to it by my junior sister. Caili looked up at him blankly. "Come here!" When Caili saw him waving, she could feel that he was full of joy and had no ill intentions. Plus, she was also very familiar with him, so she walked towards him involuntarily, wanting to see what was going on that made him so happy. "brush!" A hand shot out like lightning and grabbed the back of its neck. "It's so hot today and you don't even take a shower. You smell like cat. I'll do you a favor and give you a shower, too. Otherwise, it will be hard to shower when it gets cold!" "Wow..." A stream of water shot towards it. "Meow!" The colorful cat was shocked, but it was too late to escape. All I heard was the Taoist's loud laughter, which shook the treetops. Caili finally knew—— It turns out that good, evil and joy come from here! So it resisted the instinct of not wanting to move after its neck was pulled, kicked its legs, and stared at the fox on the ground with squinted eyes, hoping that it would save it.
The fox looked confused and stared at it. After a long time, the man, the fox and the cat returned to the Taoist temple. Except for the cat, both the people and the fox were very happy. At this time, Qingyi Temple, like Yangxin Temple in Qiuru City, became more and more presentable. Even the originally dirty walls were re-painted. With the sunlight and bamboo shadows, and the cypress trees planted on the dead wood and stone troughs, it was quite elegant. The second and third brothers and the youngest sister had already packed up their things and placed them under the eaves of the corridor. This time, the luggage contained a few more straw raincoats and hats, a few more straw mats, some rice and flour, and jars of pickles. Previously, the several puppets of Senior Brother Seven took up half of the space on the cart. Now that they had been unloaded, naturally more things could be carried. There are also stone tables and stone benches in the Taoist temple, all of which were newly found by the junior sister. The seventh senior brother is writing at the table. Lin Jue walked over to take a look and saw another couplet: The moon is bright at night, and my thoughts are not far away; The winding bamboo-shaded road is a natural creation. "Junior brother." Senior Brother Seven turned to look at him, "What do you think of using this couplet as the couplet for the entrance of Qingyi Temple?" "It's very suitable, but the characters are a little off." "This is a small matter. After you leave, I will be free. I will take a small stool and stand guard beside the official road to ask who is going to Biluo County. If there is anyone going, I will ask him to take a letter to Fourth Senior Brother for me and tell him the location. Fourth Senior Brother can ask his crow and eagle friends to deliver the letter. I will ask him to write a copy for me when the time comes." "Good……" Lin Jue nodded and thought about it. This place is probably about one or two thousand miles away from Biluo County, and it might be shorter if a bird travels along the distance. If it were farther away, even birds would have difficulty delivering the letter. Lin Jue didn't say much. Seeing that Fuyao and Caili were already lying in the light spots between the bamboo shadows, drying their fur, he went to cook. …… Asking for double monthly tickets at the beginning of the month! There will be extra chapters if you meet the monthly ticket target! (End of this chapter)
