Xu Shiyu's face froze, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
But I could clearly see that Xu Shiyu was a little disappointed in her eyes.
I also smiled bitterly, but also felt a little helpless, because every time I had a little time and wanted to calm down and walk alone with Xu Shiyu, or take her to go shopping or accompany her, something would suddenly happen. Something happened to interrupt us.
However, these things are still difficult for me to refuse, even impossible to refuse.
"Go and do your work first." Xu Shiyu said softly.
From her shallow smile that didn't reach her eyes, I saw a hint of disappointment and sadness.
"Wait for me." I reached out and hugged her into my arms, and then gently let go of her.
He also signaled Feng Qu to take me to meet the people from Changqing Taoist Temple.
…
I expected that people from Evergreen Taoist Temple wanted to see me.
After all, when he left, Mao Yuanyang took many Taoist elites with him. Even though their abilities were much inferior to those of the Liu family, that was all that Evergreen Taoist Temple had.
Mao Yuanyang is pious and ambitious. He wants to fight for his life with the Liu family in exchange for the Liu family's respect and give Changqing Taoist Temple a chance to develop.
But this time, he was obviously a little radical.
The business of ghosts wearing hair is too dangerous, and the Liu family has lost most of it. How can ordinary Taoist priests from Changqing Taoist Temple have any chance of surviving?
While thinking about it, Feng Qu had already taken me to the front hall.
Feng Zhirong was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, flanked by two middle-aged men in Taoist robes on either side. Their expressions were obviously anxious and uneasy.
Feng Zhirong was drinking tea from a teacup, feeling calm and relaxed.
After I came in, he put down the tea cup, said hello to me, and asked me how I was resting.
The Taoist priests on both sides stood up in a hurry, and the four of them quickly came to my side and surrounded me.
The four people exchanged words with each other, with questions and worries in their words. Their anxiety did not decrease at all, but instead increased.
"Mr. Luo, where is our temple master?" "You are back, why didn't they come back?" "They were left behind by the Liu family? Are you studying the Liu family's Taoism?"
"Is nothing happened to them? There's not even a single message. I can't get through the phone during this period." I frowned. Seeing how anxious they were, I sighed in my heart.
"The Nanshan Mountains are a great Feng Shui place. We are in the Feng Shui formation, so it is normal to have no signal."
"This line of work is very dangerous, and many people died." At first I wanted to use a gentle way to say it, but then I thought about it, softening would not change the result. If I concealed it, or my mother-in-law, it would make them think that maybe There will be a glimmer of hope, and finally knowing the truth is even more unacceptable. It would be better to explain it clearly in one sentence, and if anything happens, then find a way to appease and solve it.
I didn't pause, and took a deep breath as my thoughts flashed before saying word by word: "Master Mao Yuanyang of the Taoist Temple and the other Taoist priests of the Changqing Taoist Temple all died in the Nanshan Mountains, and the Liu family was also destroyed. We lost most of our men and suffered heavy casualties.”
The moment I finished speaking, these people all swung and turned pale, some stepped back several steps, and some simply collapsed on the ground.
Their faces were filled with expressions of disbelief and pain...
I sighed and reassured them a few words, roughly saying that Mao Yuanyang's death was a blessing to the people, and it was to prevent the evil corpse from being born.
But my comfort was of no use. There was a sad mood filling the hall.
Feng Zhirong nodded to Feng Qu, who immediately left the main room and came back with several members of the Feng family. They helped the Taoist priests up and helped them sit down on chairs.
I actually don’t know how to comfort him.
I have said what needs to be said, and I can only let them digest the rest. It is useless for others to say more.
Feng Zhirong motioned for me to sit down on the other Taishi chair next to him.
After I went over and sat down, Feng Qu came forward to serve tea.
"Mr. Luo, you are indeed tired from traveling. I don't want to bother you all the time. After all, you have more important things to do."
"It's just that the Evergreen Taoist Temple has indeed suffered heavy losses. I thought about it. The Feng family provided money and people to renovate the Taoist temple for the Evergreen Taoist Temple. Look, do you want to give me some advice on Feng Shui? Make some arrangements so that they can recruit many disciples and recuperate?"
Feng Zhirong said while winking at me.
I immediately understood what Feng Zhirong meant. He is a human being who lives in the secular world. These words seemed like we were talking, but in fact, they were also a comfort to Evergreen Taoist Temple.
Obviously, some of the Taoist priests had raised their heads and looked at me and Feng Zhirong blankly.
Although Evergreen Taoist Temple is an insignificant existence, after all, they helped me and the Liu family and lost lives.
When people live in the secular world, they will inevitably be entangled with the secular world. It is impossible for me to ignore this kind of thing. Otherwise, there are people in the Evergreen Taoist Temple who have gone astray and even hate me. When I am not around, There will also be trouble.
Of course, Feng Zhirong also has a businessman's plan. If he helps Changqing Taoist Temple in this way, Changqing Taoist Temple will also tie up the Feng family and regard the Feng family as its benefactor.
I can see clearly, but there is no need to tell the truth.
"Okay, just do as you say, Master Feng." I nodded directly.
Feng Zhirong put down the tea cup and stood up. He glanced at the four Taoist priests and sighed: "I don't know what the Taoist priests think? This man has passed away, and the living still need to live well. Changqing Taoist Temple also has the responsibility to protect the people. Mao The patron doesn’t want to see you like this either.”
The four people looked at each other, the sadness in their eyes dissipated a bit, revealing a bit of joy.
I felt calmer. Feng Zhirong's handling method was very good and perfect.
At this moment, a Taoist priest on the right stood up again.
He walked into the hall, looked at me hesitantly, and finally said: "Mr. Luo, there is one more small matter, but I feel that this matter is not too small.
Do you still remember those yellow-skinned animals that were sent to the Taoist Temple, right? "
My pupils narrowed slightly and I said in a deep voice, "Say."
"It's been a while, and those little yellow ones have grown up, and now they're starting to look weird, like humans. They always stand up and peek, and there's even one, the little Taoist boy guarding them, almost... He hanged himself."
"There are always dead chickens, broken gold, and even money at the entrance of the Taoist temple..."
"Without your arrangement, and besides, this yellow leather was sent to you by the seniors of the Liu family, we wouldn't dare to deal with it... Tell me, do you want..." The Taoist priest made a gesture of slitting his throat.
