Chapter Fifty-Six: Lack of manpower
But now that I have embarked on the path of spiritual practice, I have broken away from low-level interests and have higher pursuits.
In this case, even if you are looking for a partner, you will be looking for a Taoist companion in the world of immortality instead of enjoying temporary pleasure and union with a mortal.
.....
Main hall.
Come to your own god tablet.
Xuanqing took out the Jade Talisman of Requiem for the Soul and the Jade Talisman of Calmness and placed them on the back of the tablet.
With the influx of two rays of mana, the functions of the two jade talismans were activated.
Buzz~
Xuanqing closed his eyes and felt it.
The effect range of the two jade talismans just covers the main hall.
In other words, as long as pilgrims step into the main hall, they will feel a sense of tranquility and concentration under the influence of the Jade Talisman of Calmness and the Jade Talisman of Requiem for Soul.
"When the pilgrims arrive tomorrow, let's observe them secretly!" Xuan Qing murmured softly.
Although he now owns a million yuan.
But if you just sit back and have nothing, don't talk about one million, even ten million will be used up at some point.
so.
He is more interested in incense in the real world.
not to mention.
As long as one Taoist temple is completed, it can be used as a blueprint to contract other Taoist temples, expand the scale, and become bigger and stronger.
"Go back to the bedroom and continue practicing the Five Elements Talisman Formation!"
The corners of Xuanqing's mouth raised slightly.
Now that he is sitting on a million yuan, his previously unattainable sage and abandoned wisdom can now be used casually, even turning it on for one minute and thinking about it for another minute.
...
Leave the main hall.
Then he walked back towards the bedroom.
However.
When he passed by the side room where Yang Ying was again, he heard a voice speaking.
Xuan Qing couldn't help but stop and tilt his ears slightly.
Through the window.
I vaguely saw Yang Ying holding her waist and holding the phone in one hand. She didn't know what was said on the other side, but she just kept apologizing.
"Hey...yes, I'm at Qingpingguan...ah...I'm really sorry, it's mainly because I'm too busy during the day..."
"Oh~ you mean..."
after awhile.
The phone call just hung up.
Jingle bell bell~
The cell phone rang again.
"Hello...yes, I'm Yang Ying. The road construction work may still be delayed for a day or two."
Yang Ying said to the other end of the phone: "Well... well... don't worry, I'm already urging you. It will definitely be fine in two days."
....
After answering several calls in a row.
finally.
The room became calm again.
"Alas!" Yang Ying sighed and put the phone back on the table.
She then leaned back on the chair and kept rubbing her temples with her hands.
Just at this time.
Knock~knock
There was a knock on the door.
"Is the Taoist priest out of seclusion?" Yang Ying was slightly startled, and she was a little confused. She didn't know what the Taoist priest wanted to do with her at such a late hour.
Creak~
Open the door.
An inexplicable sense of oppression came towards her. Even though the other person was just standing quietly, it felt like she was facing a Mount Tai.
It's like...back to elementary school, facing the class teacher if you did something wrong, which makes people feel very depressed.
"Taoist...you?"
Yang Ying's lips were slightly opened, and she was shocked.
I haven't seen the Taoist priest for a few days. Why has such a big change happened to the Taoist priest? Although his appearance is still handsome and has not changed much, his temperament is completely different.
See this scene.
Xuan Qing understood in his heart that it must be because after his cultivation had broken through in refining energy and transformed into a god, the power of the soul was too powerful, and the feeling of oppression on ordinary mortals was too strong.
In this regard, he had no choice but to pour some mana into the requiem jade talisman hanging around his waist to amplify the effect.
"I heard you talking on the phone just now. Did you encounter any difficulties?"
just.
When the requiem jade talisman came into effect, Xuan Qing also spoke.
Yang Ying only felt much more comfortable. She didn't know the key to it. She just thought that the Taoist priest spoke and the feeling of oppression disappeared.
then.
She quickly replied: "There are no big difficulties and everything can be solved. It's just that we don't have enough time."
Hear the words.
Xuanqing looked Yang Ying up and down.
His eyes had dark bags due to staying up late and getting up early for a long time and lack of sleep, and he looked listless.
Such a scene.
Xuan Qing felt a little guilty, but also felt a little happy.
To know.
What he hates most is all the complicated things in this world.
If Yang Ying had not been hired and he had been left to handle these matters, he would have given up the job within two days at most.
This is also a common problem among most Taoist practitioners, and may be an important reason why Taoist temples cannot compete with monks and monasteries.
There is a tool like Yang Ying...a good employee~, which saved him so much trouble.
Think about it.
Xuanqing took off the requiem jade charm from his waist.
"This is the jade talisman of requiem for the soul. It has the effect of calming the soul and concentrating the mind. You have worked hard these days. Please carry this jade talisman with you. It can relieve fatigue!"
With that said, he handed over the jade talisman.
"Ah...this..."
Seeing the Taoist Master take out the personal jade talisman, Yang Ying's cheeks couldn't help but become rosy.
but.
She was very clear mentally. With Taoist Priest's ability, he would not make mistakes without aim. Since he took out this jade talisman, he must have a reason.
"Thank you, Taoist priest!"
Yang Ying bowed slightly and thanked her, then reached out and took the jade talisman.
next moment.
At the moment of touching the jade talisman.
A clear and refreshing feeling appeared, and the pressure on the Taoist priest's body disappeared in an instant.
"Ah~"
Yang Ying couldn't help but exclaimed.
Although she knew that the Taoist priest's action was definitely not a mortal thing, she still failed to react to this sudden feeling.
Biting his lip.
"Taoist Priest...this item is too valuable. I think you only have this one. Otherwise...you should take it back!"
"Here you go, take it. This thing is not a rarity for a poor man!"
Xuan Qing waved his hand and said calmly.
Finished.
Without waiting for the other party to speak again, he turned around and left the room.
...
Return to the room.
Xuanqing sat on a chair and made a pot of tea.
He was thinking about Yang Ying's work.
At the beginning.
Yang Ying was recruited because she was overwhelmed by the large number of pilgrims, and because Yang Ying had good moral character.
Apart from this, he has not considered anything else, because his focus from beginning to end has been on cultivating and seeking the path.
However.
Judging from the current situation, it would be too wasteful to just let Yang Ying be responsible for maintaining order.
"It's better to let Yang Ying put down the reception of pilgrims and focus on developing Taoist temples and increasing the amount of incense."
Xuan Qing thought this in his heart.
Although there are only two functions of [on-hook cultivation] and [absolute sage and abandonment of wisdom] that consume ingots.
But if it is not guaranteed, it will continue to be updated later, and there will be functions that consume much more than these two functions.
so.
The importance of incense to him is self-evident!
"If this is the case, who will be responsible for receiving the pilgrims?"
Xuan Qing frowned slightly.
Chapter completed!
