Luoxia Peak, Dragon and Tiger Temple.
In the early morning, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist.
Qin Luo was making porridge for his junior sister in the kitchen. He heard something moving outside and appeared in the backyard in the blink of an eye.
A little monkey about the same height as Ziyue jumped into the yard. It had brown hair and big black eyes. It was holding a lotus leaf in its hand, which contained freshly picked fruits.
The little monkey's legs trembled with fear when he saw Qin Luo.
"Who asked you to come?"
"Master Dao, King Bear sent me here."
The little monkey opened his mouth and spoke in human language.
"King Bear?"
Qin Luo thought of Xiong Mountain deep in the mountains.
"Thank him for his kindness for me."
"As commanded."
The little monkey placed the lotus leaf filled with fruits on the platform. It jumped high and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"The talking monkey is interesting."
Qin Luo found it very interesting. He cleaned the fruits and put them in a basket. There was a bunch of grapes inside, which were like emeralds, crystal clear and full. He picked one to taste.
"It's quite sweet."
"Boss."
"I'm coming!"
The small dumpling fell on Qin Luo's shoulders.
"You came so early."
"Early bird gets the worm."
"There are no bugs here. Do you want to eat the grapes?"
"eat."
"I'm not picky about food."
Xiaotuanzi puffed up his chest proudly.
Qin Luo handed a grape to Xiaotuanzi's mouth. He pecked the skin of the grape and sucked out the pulp inside.
"tasty."
"Boss, are there any more?"
Xiaotuanzi blinked at Qin Luo.
Qin Luo continued to feed Xiaotuanzi with grapes. He thought it could only eat a few grapes, but Xiaotuanzi's stomach was like a bottomless pit and he quickly ate half of the grapes.
Thinking that the junior sister hadn't eaten yet, Qin Luo gently rubbed Xiaotuanzi's head with his fingers, "Are you full?"
"No."
"You can catch worms and eat them if you haven't eaten enough."
"All right."
"Catch the bugs."
The little dumpling flapped its wings and left, its snow-white feathers glowing red in the morning glow.
Qin Luo took out the golden gourd obtained in the Zifu Cave. The space inside could accommodate rivers.
After the golden gourd was opened, Qin Luo used his magical power, and the dewdrops on the tree flew into the gourd one after another.
Gurgling.
Qin Luo took a big sip of the morning dew.
Dining and drinking dew is his daily life.
"Senior brother, it's good morning."
Ziyue came to the backyard wearing a loose Taoist robe.
Qin Luo put away the golden gourd and pointed to the basket full of fruits on the table, "Little junior sister, there are fruits here and rice porridge in the kitchen. You can choose what you want to eat."
"Brother, where do these fruits come from?"
"Sent from the monkeys in the mountains."
"real or fake?"
Ziyue thought her senior brother was joking.
"Of course it's true, little junior sister, you eat slowly and come to the main hall when you're full."
"Okay, senior brother."
Ziyue doesn't like to drink porridge, so she chooses to eat fruits. There are many kinds of fruits in the basket, including grapes, hawthorns, lychees, and kiwis. Ziyue eats grapes first, then hawthorns. "Hey, it's sour and sweet, just like eating candied haws." Same."
Qin Luo came to the front yard, opened the door of the Taoist temple, and then posted Wu Xuantian's portrait on the left and right sides of the door.
A golden light fell on Longhu Temple.
Wu Xuantian appeared in front of Qin Luo.
"Master Qin."
Wu Xuantian cupped his fists and saluted.
Qin Luo patted him on the shoulder, "Old Wu, what have you gained from walking around the Ziyun Mountains for so long?"
"After my investigation, most of the people in the Ziyun Mountains live on the outskirts of the mountains. There are 935 households, and more than 500 of them are in difficulty. There are old, weak, sick and disabled people at home."
"It's not easy for the people in the mountains."
"The ghost gate of the underworld has just been closed, and there are many evil spirits stranded in the mountains. It is easy for disasters to happen recently."
"Do you have a solution?"
"Master Qin, evil spirits are scattered everywhere. My ability is limited and I can only protect the people who stick to the door god."
Qin Luo understood his difficulty, "Lao Wu, I will help you publicize it, and I will trouble you to protect thousands of households in the future."
"That is the general's honor!"
Wu Xuantian's eyes were hot.
Guardianship has special meaning to him.
Qin Luo returned to the main hall.
Wu Xuantian approached the statue of the door god, and finally merged with the portrait, and his soul sat in the Dragon and Tiger Temple.
Ziyue came to the main hall with a plate of fruit, and she put the uneaten fruit on the tribute platform.
"Grandpa Daozu, don't dislike me."
Ziyue whispered.
Qin Luo sat at the table and drew the door god, "Junior sister, I leave you the task of promoting the door god. One penny for a door god. If you donate incense money, you can get one for free."
"Okay."
"give it to me."
Ziyue patted her chest confidently.
After cleaning the Taoist temple, Ziyue walked out of the Taoist temple with a bamboo jar and caught bugs in the mountains.
Ziyue promised to catch bugs for Xiaotuanzi. There were many caterpillars on the mountain, and the bamboo jar was quickly filled.
The sound of laughter came from the foot of the mountain.
"Brother, we have business."
Ziyue ran back to the Taoist temple excitedly.
Qin Luo shook his head and chuckled, "Junior sister, I have told you many times that we are a serious Taoist temple."
"hey-hey."
Ziyue scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Qing'er, this Taoist temple is so remote and shabby!" The young woman in a red dress frowned.
Zhao Qing'er said with a smile on her pretty face, "Feifei, don't look at the shabby Longhu Temple, the immortal master here is very powerful."
"Qing'er, you may have been cheated."
"maybe."
Zhao Qing'er didn't say much.
She and her friend Xie Fei walked into the Taoist temple.
Zhao Qing'er's servants were still carrying tributes.
"Miss Zhao."
Qin Luo and Ziyue came to the front yard.
Zhao Qing'er bowed and saluted, with a smile on her pretty face and admiration in her eyes, "Qing'er pays homage to the immortal master."
"Meet the Immortal Master."
Zhao Qing'er's servants followed and saluted.
Xie Fei and her personal maid did not salute.
Ziyue smelled the fragrance and found Zhao Qing'er's servant carrying a roasted suckling pig, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Qin Luo took them to the main hall to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Zhao Qing'er has been here several times, and each time she buys the best incense candles in the Taoist temple. She stands in front of the portrait of Taoist ancestors and prays, wrapping her left hand around her right hand, closing her eyes, and whispering softly, "Please Taoist ancestors bless the Zhao family's safety, and bless my father's health and longevity."
"Feifei, praying here is very effective. Why don't you give it a try?" Zhao Qing'er looked at her best friend.
"Can the White Deer Temple have miraculous effects?"
Xie Fei had doubts in his eyes.
"Qing'er, the environment here is far inferior to that of Bailu Temple, but the price of incense candles is several times more expensive than that of Bailu Temple."
When questioned, Qin Luo didn't mind. He explained patiently, "Female donor, you need to pay a price to pray for blessings. When you buy incense and candles at Longhu Temple, the price will be transferred to my master. The more money you pay, the more money you pay for me." The greater the price Master has to bear for you, the incense candles from other Taoist temples may be cheaper, but it is you who pay the price."
Hearing Qin Luo's words, Zhao Qing'er thought of something, and ripples appeared in her eyes, "I had a serious illness when I was a child, and I couldn't recover for a long time. My mother refused to eat or drink, so she prayed for me. Soon after, I recovered. But my mother is gone."
Ziyue rubbed her eyes.
She is easily moved.
Xie Fei was doubtful, but she didn't miss the money and said arrogantly: "Okay, give me a pair of incense candles."
Ziyue handed her the incense candle.
Xie Fei bowed and said, "Your Highness, Dao Ancestor, if you are successful, please bless Sun Lang for his high school success."
Before leaving.
Zhao Qing'er put the banknotes in the merit box.
After Ziyue saw it, she handed Zhao Qing'er a portrait of the door god, with a sweet smile on her face, "Ms. Zhao, thank you for donating the incense money. This portrait of the door god is for you."
"Thank you, little fairy."
Zhao Qing'er took the portrait of the door god. She opened the portrait and saw that the door god inside was lifelike. "Little fairy, how much does this portrait of the door god cost? Can I sell a few more?"
Ziyue stretched out a finger and said, "One piece costs one penny, but one person can only buy two pieces at most."
"Can I buy two more?"
"sure."
"Please, little fairy, please get two more pictures."
"You're welcome."
The purple moon smiles like a flower.
In this way, you will soon have money to drink mutton soup.
Hearing that the portrait of the door god only cost a penny, Zhao Qing'er's servants paid for the portrait one after another. They had seen Qin Luo's power, so they believed in the door god of Longhu Temple.
Even Xie Fei's personal maid bought a portrait of the door god and planned to take it home and stick it on the door.
"Feifei, don't you want it?"
"The painting is okay, but my door is made of golden silk wood, so it doesn't look good when it's pasted on it." Xie Fei looked down on the portrait of the door god and felt that it would be cheap if it was pasted on his door.
"I feel fine."
Zhao Qing'er liked it very much.
Seven paintings were sold at once, and Ziyue received seven cents. It was the first time she had so much money, and she personally sent Zhao Qing'er and the others away from the Taoist temple. She waved her little hands vigorously, with a bright smile on her face, "Miss Zhao, come and play often in the future. .”
"Will do."
Zhao Qing'er nodded and chuckled.
She liked this cute little girl very much.
On the way back, Xie Fei couldn't help but complain, "Qing'er, the Longhu Watch is not good. Come with me to the White Deer Watch in the future, and you will know what the gap is."
"OK."
Zhao Qing'er did not argue with her.
…
Jinyang City, Zhenbao Pavilion.
After Wu Qingliu came back, he went into seclusion in a secret room.
After Qin Luo's reminder, the spiritual energy in Wu Qing's fluid flowed from the lower dantian to the upper dantian, running completely throughout the week. He felt as smooth as ever.
The spiritual energy from all the limbs and bones finally condensed in the lower dantian, and a spring appeared in Wu Qingliu's dantian, along with the emergence of golden spiritual liquid, which meant that he had successfully built the foundation.
"It's done!"
Wu Qingliu was ecstatic.
After decades of practice, he finally succeeded in building the foundation.
Wu Qingliu's face turned rosy, and the foundation was successfully built. His lifespan increased by fifty years, half a life more, and he even had the opportunity to reach a higher realm.
In the early stage of foundation building, it was nothing in Xianmen, but in a place like Jinyang City, it was rare.
Wu Qingliu walked out of the secret room.
A middle-aged man in brocade clothes stood outside the door. He asked with a smile: "Mr. Wu, I heard that you went to Longhu Temple to discuss Taoism with Master Zhang Xian for several days. I wonder what you gained?"
He is the boss of Zhenbao Pavilion, Lin Qian.
Lin Gan heard that Wu Qingliu went to Longhu Temple for several days, and mistakenly thought that he had discussed Taoism with Zhang Fulong for several days.
The corners of Wu Qingliu's mouth twitched in embarrassment. He stood outside the door and waited for two days. He didn't even talk to Zhang Fulong when he entered the Taoist temple. How could he discuss Taoism for several days? "I couldn't discuss Taoism with Master Zhang Xian, but his disciples helped me point out the points of cultivation. problem, I was lucky enough to successfully build the foundation today.”
Lin Qian was overjoyed and said with excitement: "Mr. Wu, you have successfully established the foundation. In the future, our Zhenbao Pavilion will also have a place in the auction circle of Yanbei County."
Wu Qingliu was not proud, "In the early stage of foundation building, I have just crossed the threshold of cultivating immortals. It is nothing. If I can have Dragon and Tiger Temple as my backer, Zhenbao Pavilion can be on the stage."
"That makes sense."
Lin Qian geared up, "Mr. Wu, how can we win over Longhu Guan?"
Wu Qingliu thought about it for a long time, "This is not easy to handle. I suggest that the master of the pavilion often go to Longhu Temple, donate more incense money, and leave a good impression on Master Zhang first."
"I'm going to Longhu Temple right now."
"I will go with you."
...
After the Red Moon Festival, more and more people came to the Taoist temple to pray, mostly from Baiyun Town.
"Donor, for just one penny, the portrait of the door god can protect the safety of a family."
"Then give me two."
"I want one."
Portraits of door gods are very cheap, and many people buy them. Many people think that incense is too expensive, so they want to buy two pictures of door gods without incense.
After Zhang Fulong woke up and went to the front yard, he found that the main hall was very lively. When he got closer, he realized that everyone was buying portraits of the door god. When he heard that they were priced at a penny each, his eyes widened. They were selling them so cheaply. Even ten pennies were not expensive.
"Disciple, painting a door god is not as easy as painting a talisman. One painting costs only a penny. What do you think?"
"Master, everyone can afford the door god. If they have the door god posted in their home, the people passing by will definitely ask where the door god comes from, and it can also promote the Longhu Temple."
"With more people coming to the Taoist temple, the incense money will naturally be earned back. What do you think?"
"As expected of my disciple."
Zhang Fulong thinks it makes sense.
In the blink of an eye, during the lunch break, Ziyue took advantage of her free time to pour out the coins in the bag. She counted them one by one, "One, two, three, four, five..."
"Brother!"
"A total of forty-three cents."
Ziyue's eyes smiled like crescent moons.
"Little junior sister, the money from selling paintings from now on will be yours. Keep the money and buy whatever you want to eat in the future."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Ziyue decided to find a notebook to keep accounts, and every penny earned should be spent in the right place.
There was a sound of breaking through the air in the distance.
Ziyue raised his head and looked at the sky. He saw Wu Qingliu coming with a sword, his little face was full of shock.
"Wow!"
"Sword flying!"
Ziyue felt that the other party was very powerful.
Qin Luo was not surprised. The most powerful immortal cultivators were all Feng Xu Yufeng, and flying with a sword was nothing.
As soon as Zhang Fulong came out of the toilet, he broke into a cold sweat when he saw Wu Qingliu coming with a sword.
"I knew I couldn't collect the Fire Ganoderma."
Zhang Fulong thought they were here to get Fire Ganoderma, and hurriedly hid in the room, not daring to show his face.
