After breakfast, the three of them sat in the teahouse in Qingzheng Courtyard to talk. The old cripple and Wei Xingde returned to their residence in the east.
After recounting the incident in detail, Yue Anyan showed off her new robe and tasseled jade ring as if she were offering a treasure, but she also regretted not helping her second senior brother get the treasure.
The second senior brother smiled and took out a small bamboo basket from his pocket. It was stuffed with crushed wheat straw and a white jade-colored worm in the middle. He showed it to the two of them and put it away again. He said with a smile: "This yes-worm." You are destined to me, but I don’t know how to feed it. Junior sister, when you have free time, help me look through the classics and give it fruits, but it ignores it and just sleeps in a lotus position."
Zhang Wenfeng took out three crystal sands from the black cloth bag and put them on the coffee table.
"Try this. Have you tested it? What kind of zerg is it?"
The second senior brother picked up a piece of crystal sand and carefully put it in along the side of the basket, and said with a smile: "I forgot about it after I collected it... Hey, it put the flowing crystal sand in a plate, ha, it is undoubtedly an earth-like insect, the same as me. Attributes, no wonder he was conquered immediately."
"In a few days, I'd better give it a bug test and don't worry. I'll go to the city later and ask Yun Qiuhe to read a book. She has a lot of books in her room. I'll copy down everything I find related to yes-men."
Yue Anyan gave instructions to the cheerful second senior brother. He looked at the two golden crystal sands on the table and asked curiously: "Master, do you have a lot of crystal sand on hand? Yun Qiuhe wants to get a tailor-made piece for her senior brother. The custom-made magic weapon was not enough to help fellow Daoist Fu find a direction to break through, and to defraud two crystal sands from me."
Twice she saw badgers eating the crystal sand as snacks.
Zhang Wenfeng grabbed more than ten pills from the bag, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "You two share it equally. The Tu Ling suppressed in the back mountain produces flowing crystal sand. When I use it up, I will ask the Tu Ling for it. That guy has a bad temper. No, you have to use your fists to talk to it to be honest."
The two laughed and divided the crystal sand.
Since our own Taoist temple produces it, we don't need to be polite.
"Master, half an hour after you left yesterday afternoon, two of your brothers came to see you. I received them. Your eldest brother and your second brother were hosting a banquet in the first month of the lunar month. One of them was marrying his daughter-in-law on the fourth day of the first lunar month. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, we hold a full-moon banquet for our eldest grandson, and we choose it on the first lunar month. I invite you, the elder, to go and sit on the head."
The second senior brother said with a smile. Seeing that the master of the temple was drinking tea without saying a word, he continued: "I said that the master of the temple is from outside the country and should not attend the banquet. I will give them five hundred Wen to give them a wedding gift. If they don't give it, the local people will gossip. Gen, it’s not nice to make a fuss.
The two of them were not very happy, maybe because they felt that they were missing something. Lame Uncle later found out about this and said that next time they come back, he would argue with them and talk about these trivial matters without bothering you, the viewer, to come forward. "
Zhang Wenfeng listened quietly and asked, "Did they come empty-handed?"
"Your second brother brought three hard-boiled red eggs."
"Next time they come again, let Uncle Lai receive them, give as much or as little as Uncle Lai wants, and I will disappear. For many years, my brothers are no better than passers-by. I have long looked away. From now on, there will only be Taoist temples and you. Monks will be completely pure and free from the worldly world. Nian, let it go.”
Zhang Wenfeng put down the tea cup as he spoke, stood up, and saluted the two of them with clasped fists.
This was the first time that he had made it clear that he was separated from his two brothers.
With the prosperity of the Fairy Spirit Temple, all kinds of relatives would come to visit him for various weird reasons in the future. He simply cut them off. Back then, he helped his neighbor and relatives with a handful of rice and a bowl of porridge. A few years ago, when his master was still alive, he used his savings. The money I paid paid off the favor.
From now on, the mortal world has no concern for him.
Second Senior Brother and Yue Anyan hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, understanding that the Master was about to cut off Chen Xin.
This step is not easy to take. The Taoist heart must be as firm as iron and see through ordinary family ties.
Even though Yue Anyan had an argument with her brother and sister-in-law at home, she didn't break it off immediately. She couldn't bear to give herself an explanation. On New Year's Eve or Qingming Festival, she would quietly go back at night to hang paper on her parents' graves, burn incense and kneel down.
"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
Zhang Wenfeng announced, coughed and left the teahouse, leaving the two of them talking.
The heavy snow outside finally stopped, and the sky and the earth were completely clean. He stepped on the snow and went to the bamboo house.
Yue Anyan sat with the second senior brother for a while, and asked the second senior brother to wait until the weather cleared and help her build a small bamboo house under another hill inside the formation, where she would place Fang Bailan's remains.
The second senior brother agreed wholeheartedly and said: "I will go to the cave to guard it at night. You can find out as soon as possible what kind of spiritual plant it is and how to transplant it? Move the spiritual plant back to the Taoist temple as soon as possible so that I can sleep soundly." .”
Yue Anyan stood up with a smile and did not compete with his second senior brother to wait for the fruit to mature.
The temple owner was right. The second senior brother was the housekeeper of the Taoist temple. Worried about her life, she carried the bundle of ghost-faced snakes and walked out. As a result of the discussion between the three of them, they decided to hand over the ghost-faced snakes to the Daolu branch for rewards.
The Ghost Faced Snake was left with only one snake skin and two snake teeth to peel off. None of the three of them were ready to develop into tailors.
The second senior brother hurriedly went to find Wei Xingde. The junior sister needed to build a small bamboo house. They needed to buy materials and dig the foundation now. The few people were busy working and they just happened to start building the house after the snow melted.
As for the reconstruction of the backyard on the top of the mountain, we have to wait until the spring rainy season is over before starting the work. There is no rush.
Daolu branch.
Fu Gujing hurriedly walked into the courtyard's main hall and said to Yun Qiuhe, who was sitting on the courtyard's throne and reading quietly: "The courtyard's leader has just made a breakthrough!" He looked happy but also a little disappointed. He still had not found an opportunity to break through.
Yun Qiuhe stood up and comforted: "Senior brother, please relax, don't be afraid of being late for a good meal, just let nature take its course..."
Fu Gujing interrupted: "Stop!" He didn't know how much he heard this, turned around and left: "I'd better go and protect the Dharma for Master Wu. I don't want to listen to your nagging. You must carefully review the official documents and files to make sure there are no mistakes. "
Yun Qiuhe shouted: "Senior brother, let me trade with you... Really, I can run faster than a rabbit."
Fortunately, there hasn't been much going on in the past few days. It's the end of the year, and every day I just read files and sign official documents. I really don't understand how Dean Wu survives being so busy every day. It would drive her crazy.
Picking up the book to read again, I noticed someone coming in from outside the door.
"Hey, Yue Anyan, you are so heartless, why do you think of coming to see me in the snow? And you brought such a big gift, haha, that's so polite."
Yue Anyan looked at Yun Qiuhe who was sitting in the chair of the courtyard master, and said with a teasing smile: "Did Yun Shang usurp the throne? Or was he promoted?" He placed a bundle of objects on the ground.
"Hey, don't mention it. I'm going to get tired of being pushed around by the two of them to be the temporary director for a few days."
Yun Qiuhe came closer and kicked his feet curiously. He didn't know what it was because of the hardness. He suddenly raised his head and looked up and down, shouting: "Yue Anyan, you have advanced to the late stage of Huaqi Realm! Is there a panacea hidden in the Immortal Spirit Temple? You guys Each one practices very fast."
Yue Anyan slapped away the paw that almost touched her face, tore open the wrapped oil paper cloth a few times, revealing the ghost-faced snake bundled into a four-fold shape, and said: "Master Yun, what are you doing? Help me quickly. Register your merits, the Ghost-Faced Snake is only at the late first level, so it’s not a rare thing.”
"Tsk, tsk, your tone is so loud that it's a late first-level ghost-faced snake. Yue Anyan, you have changed!"
Yun Qiuhe turned the stiff, strange-looking ghost-faced snake over and over, and when he saw the wound on the snake's lower jaw, he said: "This is the work of your temple master. You stole it and pretended to take the credit. You didn't recruit it from the real thing. Where did you go to kill it?" Ghost-Faced Snake? What benefits did you get?"
Yue Anyan smiled and ignored her, urging her to register quickly.
She also wants to go read a book.
Yun Qiuhe took out the file and read in his mouth: "Insects eat rats and bite them, and a tattered ghost-faced snake bites."
Of course the pen will not scribble. He turned the book upside down for Yue Anyan to sign and put his fingerprints. He leaned his head towards it and whispered: "The ghost-faced snake harms people's lives. It entangles the souls of grievances in the forehead. It is extremely difficult to kill. This snake has one, and the place it protects must be There is a treasure, Yue Anyan. If you find the treasure, I won't ask any more questions. If you don't find the treasure, remember to go back and look for it again to avoid missing it."
She reminded her with good intentions, fearing that the few people at Xianlingguan would ruin their chance of getting a mobile phone because of their lack of knowledge.
After hearing this, Yue Anyan was relieved and couldn't help but rub the head that was close to him. Before Yun Qiuhe bared his teeth and started to grow hair, he put his left palm on the table.
The six golden flowing crystal sands are very pleasant to roll.
Yun Qiuhe picked it up in the palm of his hand, opened his mouth, smiled with ten teeth exposed, and shouted in a very unladylike manner: "Yue Anyan, that's interesting, I didn't look at you wrong."
"I didn't say I would give it to you. You have to pay back three cents of interest."
"This is boring. I'm not ready to pay it back. How about we make a bet?"
"Bah! Give it back to me!"
