The terrain in the northwest of Jiangshui Town is high, and some houses are on hills. The Jiuhua Temple bought by Murong Hai is also built on a slope. It is higher than ordinary houses, giving people a feeling of looking up. The sun has just risen in the morning. Jiuhua Temple
There were queues on both sides of the Taoist temple. Mrs. Liu had just returned from her parents' home and entered the town from the northwest corner. She felt strange when she saw the crowds on both sides of the Taoist temple.
"Haven't all the Taoist priests in Jiuhua Temple left here? Why do people come to offer incense again?"
The maid serving the lady answered her: "Two months ago, several immortal masters bought the Taoist temple, saying that they would preach and bless people here, and they would also see people and treat their illnesses. Each person only received nine cents, so there is such a thing."
Many people came to line up.”
"Can't he be a liar?" Mrs. Liu asked suspiciously. The Taoist priests of Qingyang Palace in the capital were highly virtuous and respected, and none of them said that they were immortal masters.
The carriage driver outside the carriage heard his wife's doubts and replied to her: "Madam, these are really immortal masters who have performed magical arts. Even Chen Yuanwai regards them as honored guests and often invites them to come to the house to perform rituals."
Madam Liu pondered. If these immortal masters were really so magical, they might be able to give birth to a son and find a good place for the Sangmen Star.
She looked at the long queue and decided to invite the Jiuhuaguan Taoist priest to come to her door tomorrow.
Collecting nine coins has a special meaning. Nine takes nine out of Jiuhua Temple. In this way, it can accumulate popularity and credibility for the Taoist temple, so that the Taoist temple will become more and more prosperous and can stand in this world.
Murong Hai put two pieces of ice on his eyes, "Tang Shimei, how long will I have to have my fortune telling? I think my eyes are going to be useless."
Tang Yue felt that he was exaggerating. Murong Hai's family's formations were famous in Liuzhou. In order to facilitate the formation of formations by borrowing the energy of heaven and earth, they would practice a unique art of physiognomy. It had only been three days. How could he be so tired? He just felt that it was very tiring to sit here.
bother.
"I'll take care of you for a while. At the end of the day, I'll have to do fortune telling for various dignitaries, so I won't be so tired."
"Ah, you still want to show it to those gentlemen?" Murong Hai looked extremely painful.
"And all the ladies and ladies, you should like this very much." Tang Yue comforted him.
Murong Hai thought deeply for a moment, "I think your proposal is very good. I think it would be better to meet more ladies and ladies, so that I can also have a chance to meet Miss Liu."
Sitting behind the other table is Senior Brother Qian, "Senior Sister Tang, I think your attitude is to make Jiuhua Temple a world-famous Taoist temple. This is not necessarily a good thing. After we leave, there will be no one to protect Xia Lan and the others."
.”
"Senior Brother Qian, you are right, so we still have to find a way to move the Jiuhua Temple disciples out, but we don't know what is going on outside Jiangshui Town, and relying only on residents' reports and book records is too limited."
But these are too far away. There are only two disciples, Xia Lan and Chunhua, in the Taoist temple. The other disciples have not been found yet, so it is better not to consider moving.
They plan to recruit at least ten people, including three brides, to maintain the operation of the entire Taoist temple. They must be of good conduct and preferably children.
In this way, the younger disciples will not bully the three senior sisters and become a disaster in their lives.
When Chunhua came out with the medicine, they stopped discussing.
"Brother, do you think these herbal medicines are right?" Chunhua once worked for a medical clinic and is quite familiar with herbal medicines. Now she happens to be learning some medical skills from Senior Brother Qian.
"Yes, you are very talented in studying medicine. It just so happens that you have water, wood, and earth spiritual roots, which are suitable for practicing planting techniques." Senior Brother Qian encouraged Chunhua. In fact, the best cultivation technique is wood spiritual roots, but there are three places where mortals gather here.
The spiritual roots are already pretty good.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but Xia Lan, Chun Hua, and Liu Yunyan all have spiritual roots, and Liu Yunyan also has the spiritual roots of fire and earth.
Elsewhere, Xia Lan was in a worse situation. She was practicing swordsmanship and combining the techniques of water and fire. Ruan Ying and Duan Yitang were supervising her.
"Sister Lan, your sword strength is too weak, you need to train your arm strength." Although Ruan Ying is practicing spells with her master, she is also learning swordsmanship, and she is very good at it, so she can still teach Xia Lan.
Xia Lan's head was covered with sweat, and she had to rest after practicing for a while. "Can I practice? The swordsmanship is too difficult, I'm so tired."
"Sister Xia Lan, you are a gentle and kind-hearted good person who is easily bullied. After practicing sword practice, you can become stronger and bad people cannot bully you." Duan Yitang explained to her.
This is the training plan that the five of them decided before looking for Xia Lan. Xia Lan can learn swordsmanship, Chunhua can learn medicine and planting skills, and Liu Yunyan can learn poison skills and illusion skills.
The books they carry are enough to teach these Taoist techniques.
While they were in full swing building the reputation of the Taoist temple, a wealthy businessman in the town was discussing with an old Taoist with a white beard.
"Why did you change the woman for the shady marriage? This woman's birth date is not as good as the one I calculated for you. I'm afraid it can't double the Zhang family's wealth." The old Taoist was very confused. This matter had been settled before. Why?
Something went wrong?
"We didn't expect it. Then the Xia family suddenly told us that their daughter had gone to practice immortality and could no longer sell it to us." A middle-aged, fat man sat at the main seat with a sad expression.
The woman next to him spoke for him, "We have found out clearly that Xia Lan is at Jiuhua Temple and is a disciple of Master Lu He."
"It's ridiculous. Lu Zhenren's nickname is Dongbin and his Taoist name is Chunyangzi. He is the ancestor enshrined in our Qingyang Palace. How can he be called Lu He?" The old Taoist put down his teacup heavily and was very angry.
The disciples serving him hurriedly stepped forward and wiped away the water that overflowed from the tea cup. Master likes things to be clean and tidy, so it would not be good if the tea was spilled everywhere.
"Taoist Master, what should we do now? To capture Xia Lan secretly, or use the current woman?" the head of the Zhang family asked anxiously.
"The auspicious time has been missed. Besides, the person is not Xia Lan, so there is no point. It is a waste of life. Let him go home. I will go to Liu Mansion in person tomorrow to meet these demons from Jiuhua Palace. I want to see if it is
Where did the liar come from?”
The white-haired Taoist priest had a righteous look on his face, as if he was going to eradicate evil and expose the scam tomorrow.
"Thanks to the Taoist priest coming to Jiangshui Town, I think those scammers will not be so arrogant in the future. These days they pay nine cents for medical treatment and give away medicines. Our medical center has fewer people, which seriously hinders people's livelihood."
"They are capable of such things as competing for profits with the people. They are really heartbroken and morally corrupt!"
The two of them seemed to be talking about robbers who burned, killed, and looted, rather than people who saw doctors on the street at low prices.
Mrs. Liu invited a Taoist priest from Jiuhua Temple to read her fortune. She was afraid that she would be deceived, so she also invited Taoist Priest Sun who came to Jiangshui Town for business.
So waiting in the Liu family's living room were not only Murong Hai and Tang Yue, but also Taoist Master Sun and his disciple Tao Tong.
Daochang Sun snorted coldly, "Today's young people are really shameful. They come out to cheat and bring girls with them, which ruins the secular customs."
Murong Hai opened his fan and started fanning again, "No, no, I am escorting my junior sister here. She is much more capable than me."
"Senior brother, you are talking nonsense again. I am pretty good at it, and I am expected to attain enlightenment, but I am not as good as you now."
Tang Yue boasted about himself without blushing, which made Murong Hai also find it funny, "Okay, then let's see who can ascend to the Mahayana first."
Opposite, Taoist Master Sun became even more displeased when he saw that these two people were talking more and more, talking about the Mahayana ascension, "You are an arrogant kid who knows only a few tricks, how dare you say that you can become an immortal?"
"Taoist Priest, we should have a greater chance of ascending to immortality than you." Tang Yue deliberately angered Taoist Sun.
"How is it possible? Let me ask you, why did you take away Xia Lan, who was supposed to be married in a dark way? You are ruining your destiny." Daochang Sun stretched out his two fingers and pointed at the two people sitting opposite.
Tang Yue became angry all of a sudden, "So it's you, the devil, who asked Sister Xia Lan to marry in a dark way? How dare you call us liars when you care so little about human life?"
Daozhang Sun was a little shocked by her anger. He had always been respected by others, but he didn't expect to be scolded by a girl like this, "That was her destiny. She will be reincarnated as a rich lady in the next life. You are pregnant with her."
Luck."
Tang Yue was about to scold him when he suddenly thought of something, "Do you know the concubine Chunhua that Yuan Wai Chen was going to marry?"
"Of course I know that this woman received a favor from Yuan Wai Chen in her last life, and she was going to repay him as a concubine in this life, but you took the concubine away, hindering her from repaying her kindness, and blocking Yuan Wai Chen from doing so.
future."
"Did you also approve of Miss Liu's innate ominous fate?" Tang Yue continued to ask him.
"Of course it was my method. It was me who figured this out and prevented the Liu family from suffering disaster." Sun Daochang looked happy to have saved his family.
"There was actually a demon that persecuted so many people in broad daylight. Look at the sword!" Tang Yue drew his sword and stabbed it, using fire at the same time.
Daochang Sun did not expect that the other party would take action, and this girl was actually more powerful than him. He was one of the top five masters in Qingyang Palace.
He couldn't resist and was forced to escape from the living room. What surprised him was that this girl could actually control fire. None of them knew how to do this.
The Taoist priests in Qingyang Palace are still mortals. They only know some methods of refining qi and internal strength. Their martial arts are the best in the world, but they still cannot do it when meeting real monks.
Tang Yue chased Sun Daochang all over the yard. She intuitively felt that Sun Daochang was the key to the whole thing. She couldn't kill him easily yet, she just wanted to vent her anger.
Madam Liu saw the two Taoist priests fighting, or rather Taoist Master Sun being beaten one-sidedly, and hurriedly stopped them, "Two Taoist priests, please stop fighting. Let's talk to each other if you have anything to say."
She was very anxious. Qingyang Palace had a great status in front of the royal family, but she couldn't afford to have something happen to her family. The Liu family was a wealthy family and couldn't afford it.
