After the Flower Festival, Anlu became slightly warmer. Although the cold wind at night was still biting, the bright sunshine during the day made the body warm and comfortable.
It was in such good weather that Qingfeng Taoist priest officially "came out of seclusion". It was said that he was leaving seclusion, but in fact it was just the end of a period of residence. In fact, this was not the first time that Qingfeng Taoist temple had conflicts with other Taoist temples.
Among the several Taoist temples, Qingfeng Taoist is the smallest, and the leader has no real talent and knowledge, and is worried that others will see his flaws, so every time like this, Qingfeng Taoist would very and appropriately propose "retreat".
There were two Taoist boys in the house who were eating and dressing, and they lived a very comfortable life without caring about worldly affairs. However, it would get a little boring after staying for a long time, so he figured that the situation would calm down, and he took the time to push out of the room.
Door.
However, as soon as he went out, Taoist Qingfeng felt something was wrong.
"Why is it so quiet? Where are the people?" He looked at the Taoist boys on both sides.
Although the Taoist boy is waiting in the house, he usually goes out to get food. He knows a little bit about the things in the temple, but he knows that no one will mention it to his face without a wink. Now when the master takes the initiative to ask questions, he also accepts it.
He hesitated and said nothing.
Taoist Qingfeng waved his hand impatiently and walked forward. Qingfeng Temple was not too big. Within a few steps, he bumped into a female disciple, so he called out, "Lotus, where are you going?"
The girl who was stopped was only seven or eight years old, with a very cute face. Because she was too young, she did not wear a hair crown, but tied two double buns. When she saw the master, she bowed obediently and said with some fear: "Master
Okay, congratulations to Master for coming out of seclusion."
Taoist Qingfeng nodded slightly, put on a serious look, and said in a deep voice: "Where are you going in a hurry? Where are the disciples?"
"Back to Master, Senior Sister Ruxing is teaching us how to practice the 'Aoki Way'." He Hua answered with a smile.
Qingmu Dao? Qingfeng Daoist was puzzled. It took him a long time to react. He suppressed his anger and said: "It's not the year or the festival, why are you cleaning?"
In Taoist classics, green wood incense is believed to be able to eliminate impurities and inspire true immortals. The so-called "green wood way" means general cleaning.
Hehua blinked her round eyes and said blankly: "My disciple doesn't understand. This is what Senior Sister Ruxing said. Senior Sister said that the turn of spring and summer is when mosquitoes are more common, especially Qingfeng Temple, which relies on water, so it must be prepared in advance.
Get ready. Senior Sister Shilu is leading people to sew the gauze tent, and the other senior brothers are digging out the mud from the pond."
"You!" Taoist Qingfeng said angrily, "You just listen to her like this! Don't you know that Master is out of seclusion today!?"
"Ah? But Senior Sister Ruxing is now an expert that the Crown Prince admires, and even those at Jingyun Palace are very respectful. Shouldn't we be obedient?" He Hua was a little confused.
"What master?" Qingfeng was puzzled. The Taoist boy beside him had no choice but to explain a few words. Only then did he realize that during his absence, his apprentice hugged the big tree of the Crown Prince, but the other party didn't even care at all.
Didn't tell him.
Is it possible? I will be ignored in the future?
Qingfeng's face was uncertain, and his eyes were scanning back and forth. I don't know if it was a psychological factor, but he always felt strange inside the view. Suddenly, he noticed a touch of color on Lotus's hair, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he said calmly: "This rope is
Who gave it to you?"
"This," He Hua subconsciously touched the two small bags on her head, and said with a smile, "It's Senior Sister Ruxing. In fact, it was a gift from the Crown Prince. There are a few silver bells on it. Senior Sister is afraid that I usually jump around.
I lost it and only let me hang it up during the holidays."
Qingfeng felt sad in his heart, thinking that he had never received any benefits after working in the palace for so many years, and he didn't know what kind of bad luck his apprentice had.
After sending Lotus away, Qingfeng straightened his clothes, thought about it a few times, and went to find his great disciple with a gentle smile.
At this time, Xian Ruxing was tidying up the gauze tent with Shilu. She rejected the invitation from the head of Jingyun Palace, Xuanyi, and chose to stay in Qingfeng Temple. However, the matter has come to this, and if she continues to keep a low profile, she is simply looking for trouble for herself.
.
Xian Ruxing has never been a naughty person, so he accepted the compliments from people around him openly and became the talkative person in the temple.
The first thing to do when taking power is to clean up the whole temple. Although Taoist priests have always liked to be clean, and the palace has enough food and clothing to avoid lice and fleas, Xian Ruxing is still not worried about the hygiene habits of the ancients.
Cleaning was just the first step. After that, she also ordered everyone not to drink raw water directly in the future, but to boil it before drinking. She even asked Xuanyi for some insecticide to spray in the corners.
After several visits, Qingfengguan changed from its previous dullness and became much brighter. As for mosquito nets, summer is coming soon. Mosquitoes are important carriers of infectious diseases. It is always good to take precautions in advance.
Seeing Taoist Qingfeng coming over, Zhao Silu was stunned and knocked his head in annoyance. He obviously heard that the master was going to leave seclusion two days ago, but why did he forget about it? This guy was the one pulling her to do this and that.
! He glared at Xian Ruxing, then quickly stood up and responded.
Taoist Qingfeng ignored her and stared at Xian Ruxing. He was such a beautiful disciple. He originally thought of hiring her in the past two years. However, since he fell into the water, he has become more and more versatile, making it impossible for anyone to attack him.
Opportunity. Thinking of this, his expression changed several times, but in the end he endured it again and again, and still smiled and said: "It seems that during the time when the master is away, Ruxing will take care of the inside of the temple very well. Not bad, not bad, this is my Qingfeng Temple
The demeanor of the senior sister, I remember that when the village was in a famine, your parents took you to Qingfeng Temple to beg me for food. At that time, as a teacher, I felt that you were extremely intelligent and had a destiny with our sect. Looking back today, you were indeed right.
.”
"It's all the master's teachings." Xian Ruxing saw that the other party was playing the emotional card first, so he followed what he said, with a very sincere expression.
"It's good that you know." Qingfeng twirled the beard on his mouth twice, with a kind face, "Back then, Guan Nei was poor, and even if I didn't have enough to eat, I wouldn't say I'd sell you out. Thanks to this, you can
There is today."
...No, Xian Ruxing sneered inwardly. He obviously wanted to support himself by relying on children like them to beg alchemy from wealthy families. He was so shameless.
She was doing Tai Chi calmly, but Shi Lu next to her was moved to tears and said to the breeze with a tearful voice: "Master, you are so kind. This apprentice will never forget your great kindness in his whole life."
"Good boy," Qingfeng patted the girl on the shoulder happily.
Not far away, Ruxing frowned slightly and interjected: "Master, in order to celebrate your coming out of seclusion, why don't you inform the other sect leaders and let them come to the temple to celebrate."
"Ah?" Taoist Qingfeng was slightly stunned and said hesitantly: "No need. For such a trivial matter, other fellow Taoists are very busy on weekdays, so they might not come if I ask."
"How can it be such a small matter for me, the master of Qingfeng Temple, to leave seclusion?" Xian Ruxing smiled and said in a calm tone: "Besides, master can rest assured that as long as the disciple opens his mouth, they will come."
Qingfeng Haoxuan was shocked by his apprentice's "bastard spirit". He re-evaluated his current status in his heart and began to care about it. So his words became gentler and said: "In this case, then Yi Ruxing
What I said is, Xing'er, you are young and inexperienced, and you are still a woman. The relationships in the palace are complicated, and it is inevitable that you will not be able to come forward for some things. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to the master. After all, the master has lived for so many years.
There is always some knowledge.”
Xian Ruxing knew that the other party's words meant that he had given in, and agreed to manage the affairs of the temple by himself, but on the surface he still respected Taoist Qingfeng. He couldn't help but sigh that this guy was really flexible and flexible, and he had built up such a big business through deception and deception.
Human. She thought about it again and again. According to his status, he was a teacher after all. She really couldn't find any reason to break up with him, so she could only nod.
Seeing that the agreement was reached, he could still be the "Top Emperor" with peace of mind. Taoist Qingfeng smiled, and then looked at the two beautiful female disciples regretfully. If this was the case, it would be difficult to make a move in the future. So he coughed twice.
, pretending to be: "Ru Xing Ru Dew, since you are busy, then you don't have to wait in the main hall. I think... Lotus is pretty good. Let's arrange for her to follow me in the future."
"Yes," Xian Ruxing still looked respectful. He watched the other party go away before slowly closing the door.
When Zhao Silu heard that she could no longer stay with her master, she was a little disappointed for a moment. However, thinking that she had been living a very happy and fulfilling life recently, and feeling faintly happy, she was immediately startled by these rebellious thoughts in her mind.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but become furious. He gave Xian Ruxing a blank look, it was all this guy! He took two steps forward and said to Xian Ruxing in a coquettish way: "Hey, what are you going to do next? The mosquito net is almost mended, it's really all me.
You just know how to be lazy, you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was startled by the coldness in the other person's eyes. He couldn't help but timidly said: "You, what's wrong with you..."
Xian Ruxing looked at her and suddenly asked, "Do you remember how old He Hua is this year?"
"You will be seven years old in three months."
"Really, time flies so fast." Xian Ruxing murmured to himself, seeming to have returned to his normal self.
Zhao Silu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Yes, I remember when she first came here, she was not easy to talk to and she had to feed us one bite at a time. In the blink of an eye, she now knows how beautiful it is. The one you gave me
The little girl always wears the floral headband, the baby must look like something else."
Although Qingfeng Guan has no worries about food and clothing in the palace, Qingfeng Taoist people are very stingy. Old people like them only earn a few pennies per month. Basically all of them work for Qingfeng Taoist, so the flower headband has been
It is an unattainable luxury.
"That's it, then I'll buy her another one someday." Xian Ruxing smiled, while the anger in her heart reached its peak.
