evening.
Qin Luo closed the Taoist temple door.
He came to the backyard of the Taoist temple. There was a tall peach tree in the yard, full of bright peach blossoms.
Ziyue was drinking porridge in the yard.
Zhang Fulong came to the courtyard and said, "Disciple, there are not many incense candles left in the Taoist temple. You can go down the mountain to buy them tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Master."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Ziyue raised her head and blinked, "Master, can I go down the mountain with my senior brother?"
"Okay, but you have to finish the work first."
"Uh-huh."
Ziyue grinned stupidly.
After finishing the porridge, Ziyue ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes. She also had to wash clothes and clean the Taoist temple.
Qin Luo came to Zhang Fulong and said respectfully: "Master, you have one hundred and eight magic spells in the true explanation of Taoism. After counting, the disciples only saw one hundred and seven magic spells."
After being reminded, Zhang Fulong remembered that he once went to the toilet without any paper, so he tore a page.
"Haha, there is a spell in the book called Soaring into the Clouds and Riding on the Mist. I thought it was not suitable for you to practice, so I removed it on purpose. The road is at your feet. Only by keeping your feet on the ground can you go further."
Zhang Fulong replied with a smile.
Only by being down-to-earth can you go further. This sentence seems to contain infinite truth. Qin Luo bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts. I will keep this in mind."
"Go to bed early."
"Don't stay up late to practice immortality."
"Disciple understands."
Zhang Fulong left with his hands behind his back.
Qin Luo sat cross-legged on the Taoist platform under the peach tree. He came to the inner scene through meditation and began to practice the following spells.
Night falls.
Longhu Temple is quiet and deserted.
Ziyue came to the backyard and said in a clear voice: "Brother, don't forget to take me with you when you go down the mountain tomorrow."
"of course not."
Qin Luo opened his eyes. He felt that ten and a half days had passed since he had practiced inside, but not much time had passed outside.
…
The next day, early morning.
The fog in the mountains has not cleared yet.
Ziyue was carrying a bamboo basket, and she was jumping in front. The mountain path was winding, and Qin Luo was holding the Taoist True Explanation in his hand. He had the ability of photographic memory.
"La la la!"
Ziyue hummed happily.
Halfway through, Ziyue picked up a dry small stick on the side of the road. Her eyes widened and she shouted: "The sky and the earth are infinite, the universe is borrowed, monsters, suffer death!"
Swish, brush, brush!
Ziyue slashed at the air.
"Senior brother, am I awesome?"
Ziyue smiled happily.
"sharp."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded. He saw the ghost wandering in the mountains and fled when he encountered Ziyue, proving that the exorcism charm he wrote yesterday was still effective.
There is a clear stream at the foot of Luoxia Peak. Qin Luo comes here to fetch water every day. They follow the path beside the stream to Baiyun Town.
Ziyue held the freshly picked azalea in her hand. She pulled off the bright red petals and stuffed them into her mouth.
"Junior sister, is this delicious?"
"It's sour and sweet, better than drinking porridge."
"Brother, try it."
Ziyue raised her hand high, and Qin Luo picked off a petal. He put it in his mouth and chewed it. The sweetness was very light.
Baiyun Town is the town closest to Longhu Temple. When the sun rises, Qin Luo and Ziyue come to the town. There is only one long street here, with incense and candles spread at the end of the street. They have to cross the entire street.
"Take a look, take a look, it's a specialty of Dachu. If you get a fake one, you'll get ten for free. Don't miss it if you pass by."
"Tanghulu, it's not sweet and doesn't cost any money."
"Selling steamed buns, big and delicious steamed buns."
The street was very lively. Ziyue gulped as she walked. She wanted to eat steamed buns, but she had no money.
"Boss, here's a basket of meat buns."
"Master Tao, three cents per cage."
Qin Luo took out three copper plates and handed them to the stall owner.
Ziyue was a little overwhelmed when she saw Qin Luo handing the paper bag filled with meat buns in front of her.
"Why are you dazed? Eat it while it's hot."
"Thank you, senior brother."
There were tears in Ziyue's eyes.
"smell good."
Ziyue ate the meat buns with big mouthfuls.
"Senior brother, you eat too."
"I'm not hungry. Eat slowly and don't choke."
"Uh-huh."
Ziyue nodded repeatedly.
End of the street.
Lao Chen Incense Candle Shop.
When Qin Luo walked into the shop, he met the boy who followed Zhao Qing'er to Longhu Temple yesterday.
When Li Dazhuang saw Qin Luo, he flew into a rage and said angrily: "Fake Taoist priests, the talismans of your Dragon and Tiger Temple are all lies. My master's condition is even worse."
Qin Luo frowned slightly.
Master's exorcism charm is useless?
Qin Luo said calmly: "That is your master's fate. My master tried his best."
"Haha, you still dare to show off in the market, just wait for me." The boy left the incense shop angrily.
Ziyue realized that something was wrong and said weakly: "Brother, let's run away quickly."
"It doesn't matter."
Qin Luo didn't care.
"Mr. Chen, it's still the same old rules."
The old man in red robe curled his lips and said, "I can't earn more from this small business than Longhuguan. How can I do this business if your master has to pay every time?"
"Mr. Chen, I will go back to Longhu Temple to discuss with Master and settle the bill next time I come."
“I always say I’ll pay next time.”
“I’ll definitely pay the bill next time.”
Mr. Chen nodded helplessly.
Ziyue found that the price of incense candles here was very cheap, but she did not expect that the price of incense candles in Longhu Temple soared dozens of times.
Qin Luo put the lit incense candles into the bamboo basket. He also bought a large amount of yellow paper and planned to take it back to draw talismans.
Ziyue took the initiative to carry the bamboo basket full of goods.
"Little junior sister, can you carry it?"
"I can carry it."
Although Ziyue is petite, she used to raise pigs and do farm work at home, so she is relatively strong.
"Mr. Chen, let's go."
“Remember to pay when you come next time.”
"no problem."
Qin Luo and Ziyue walked out of the Taoist temple.
Before they had gone far, a group of tall and strong men came towards them. They were holding sticks. Li Dazhuang pointed at Qin Luo, "They are the Taoist priests from Longhu Temple. They deceived the young lady and made the master's condition worse. We cannot let them Leave Baiyun Town."
Ziyue hugged the bun in her arms tightly.
She looked at Qin Luo beside her and saw that her senior brother was calm, and she was no longer afraid.
Seeing that they were coming with bad intentions, Qin Luo smiled softly, "Are you sure you want to block my way?"
"Haha, pretending to be a ghost."
"Do you think we are afraid of you?"
The strong men laughed, they did not take Qin Luo seriously, and the people on the street gathered around to join in the fun.
Qin Luo strode forward.
He walked towards the strong men.
The people watching were talking a lot.
"Are they crazy? Looking at the way he is dressed, he is a Taoist master from the Dragon and Tiger Temple. Aren't he afraid of being struck by thunder?"
"It's all bluffing."
"The Taoist priests at Longhu Temple are all fake."
"real or fake?"
"If you don't believe me, look at him."
Qin Luo walked up to Li Dazhuang.
A group of strong men surrounded Qin Luo.
Qin Luo suddenly closed his eyes, and Li Dazhuang sneered: "You're still pretending, hit me!"
The strong men raised their sticks and hit Qin Luo one after another. Ziyue frowned, "Senior brother!"
Some people can't even bear to look at it.
The originally bustling street suddenly became quiet, and all the sticks stopped three inches above Qin Luo's head.
Everyone looked dumbfounded.
Li Dazhuang's eyes narrowed sharply, and he felt that there was an invisible force that prevented him from dropping the stick in his hand.
When Qin Luo opened his eyes, dazzling golden light emitted from his body. This is a spell in the Taoist True Solution. It generates light. The golden light can protect the body and attack.
Bang!
The golden light shines outward.
The strong men around him were blown away.
This is the spell Qin Luo learned on the way down the mountain.
"ah!"
The strong men lay on the ground and howled.
Qin Luo didn't use all his strength, he just wanted to teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful Longhu Temple was.
"I just said you can't mess with Master Dao!"
"He is indeed an immortal master!"
The people around were frightened.
"As expected of senior brother."
Ziyue continued to eat the meat buns.
Qin Luo walked up to Li Dazhuang, who was kneeling on the ground in embarrassment, with frightened eyes as if he was seeing a god, "Master Tao, please forgive me, I was wrong, I was blind."
"Take me to Zhao's house."
Qin Luo said calmly.
Li Dazhuang was trembling with fear. He thought Qin Luo was going to the Zhao family to settle accounts, so he kowtowed quickly, "Master Tao, it's all my fault. This matter has nothing to do with the lady."
"I'm not looking for trouble with the Zhao family."
"I want to see what's going on with your master."
The master's exorcism charm didn't work. Qin Luo wanted to know the reason. He didn't want the master's reputation to be affected.
Hearing this, Li Dazhuang endured the pain and got up. He staggered forward, Qin Luo and Ziyue followed behind, and the people watching on the street gave way.
"Master Tao."
"Master Immortal, walk slowly!"
The people on the street saluted respectfully.
Ziyue looked at everyone's awe-inspiring looks. She raised her little head, feeling particularly proud.
