I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 129
Gu Yao returned to the fasting room with a heavy heart.

What kind of tricks does the old coin, the chief executive, want to play?
"I don't want to, anyway, the old man will be here today, and I will leave it to him to deal with it."

Immediately, he put the wooden box on the table, washed his hands, and saluted in the direction of the Golden Buddha Hall very respectfully, and then opened the box.

When the lid was opened, there was no vision of the golden light filling the sky and the nebula turning upside down, and there was not even a slight fluctuation. Gu Yao looked down and saw that there was only one book inside.

"There is a way to make money".

I picked it up and flipped through it, and on the first page was written "A mouth at the beginning, a temple at the end, a generation of gods and monks' experience of making a fortune."

In the lower left corner of the first page, there is also a row of small, barely readable words: Twelve copies for a limited time sale.

The second page: Look, you bought it, and I have already earned ten taels of silver. This is the secret!

Page [-]: If you resell this book for nine taels of silver, you will only lose one tael.

Page 1000: If you buy [-] copies from me, I can only charge you [-] taels for each copy, and you will still sell [-] taels of copies, and you will earn [-] taels instead.

Page [-]: If you dare to do it secretly, look at the fist of the poor monk.

Page Six: But if you are willing to develop other people to buy books from the poor monk, the poor monk can only sell you seven taels for each book, and at the same time, the book money earned by the poor monk from the people you introduced is [-] cents.

Seventh page:
What the hell is this?
Gu Yao: "."

"Tired, destroy it."

Immediately smashed the book into the box: "Your dharma name should be Chuanxiao!"

Gan!
On this day, Gu Yao didn't go anywhere. After burning the broken book, he closed the door and practiced in the house, waiting for the arrival of the old Taoist with peace of mind.

This waited until midnight.

Wu Shuzhu yawned: "Gu Yao, did your master have an accident?"

Feeling Gu Yao glaring at her fiercely, she hastily added: "I didn't mean that, I mean, will I accidentally break my leg while walking, or have epilepsy or something, and I won't be able to come here for the time being?" gone."

"I think you should worry about whether the Nuo God will build a Buddhist temple for himself after he leaves, and call himself Nuo Bodhisattva."

Gu Yao pointed to the Gu mother holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.

This Buddhist bead was given to Gu Yao by Zong Qing, and I don't know what he meant, maybe he really thought that Gu Yao would become a monk, so he was thrown to the Gu mother backhandedly.

As for the Buddhist beads that Xu Xing gave to Gu Yao earlier, they have already been handed back.

According to Zong Qing, there is still about one month left for the virtual trip, which is just right. You can see the statues of Asura and Yasha in the Golden Buddha Temple, and you can see the renovation of the Golden Buddha Temple.

Except for Xu Xing's greatest wish, which was not fulfilled when Buddhism overwhelmed Taoism, everything else was basically fulfilled.

After a long time, Gu Yao couldn't sit still anymore, and walked up and down in the fasting room.

"What time is it?"

"It's almost the end of Haishi."

"The old man was always punctual in the past, but this time, he probably arrived on time." He comforted himself in his heart.

"What time is it?"

"At the beginning of the child's time."

There is still half an hour before the time is right, and today is over, so the old man really wants to get stuck, right?
Gu Yao walked around the room.

Bang bang bang.

"Who?" Gu Yao was overjoyed, opened the door in three steps and two steps, and saw that there was no one.

"Where are people? Who's knocking at the door?"

". Bow your head."

Ningyu and Biyu itched their teeth.

"What are you guys doing here?" Gu Yao was disappointed.

"This is for you." Ningyu took out a palm-sized gossip plate, "Master said, this is a magical opportunity for you to feel the upcoming atmosphere in advance."

"Ok?"

"This is called Lin Yuan Jian."

Gu Yao took it, looked at it twice, and just about to put it back, he heard Ningyu say: "Every Jingyuan has this thing. After cultivating the Yin God, you can use it to compete with other people."

"Virtual competition?"

Gu Yao stopped his hand, took another look, and decided to push it back.

"Master has recently added a new function to it. You can use it to communicate with each other thousands of miles away. There are only four pieces of Linyuan Jian with this function."

"Then I don't want it anymore."

That person at the head has such a bad heart, maybe he will harass people every day in the middle of the night in the future.

"Yes, why not?"

A flash of thunder flashed, and the old Taoist flew down from the sky.

Taoist robe fluttering, face gloomy, not Yangshen's handsome young Taoist form before, but the ugly old man that Gu Yao is familiar with.

He strode up to Gu Yao's side, snatched it away, groped it, and stuffed it into Gu Yao's hand: "At first, I was worried that if you had no peers and no opponents, would you stay in your old ways and sit on the sidelines, but he would just give it away." coming."

Ningyu and Biyu hurriedly took two steps back, bowed to the old Taoist, not daring to raise their heads and said: "I have seen Taoist Shanyuan."

The old Taoist robe flicked: "Okay, okay, I know you are afraid of me, let's go."

"Yes." The two were overjoyed, turned and ran away.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist suddenly stopped them and flicked his robe: "Wait!"

Biyu felt that she was pinched by the neck of fate, and she flew up, and was held in the hands of the old Taoist.

"where are you from?"

The old Taoist carried him, looked around carefully a few times, and asked.

"From Luzhou." Biyu's face turned pale with fright, her heart beating like a drum.

The old man tilted his head, glanced at Gu Yao, and then turned his gaze back to him: "What's your layman's name?"

"Zhou, Zhou Shengsheng." Biyu swallowed and stammered.

For some reason, he suddenly felt the old man's eyes full of murderous intent.

He didn't dare to look the old man in the eyes, looked around, but saw that Ningyu had already run away without a trace.

After several decades and a few seconds, the old Taoist threw him out: "Go away."

Then he looked at Gu Yao: "It's pretty fast to enter the country."

The old man seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and felt angry. Gu Yao smiled obediently and said, "It's normal, it's your apprentice after all."

"Hmph, my apprentice, you are a born Buddha, but you can do tricks."

The old man ignored him, looked at Wu Shuzhu and Nuo God, said nothing, just waved his robe: "Let's go back to the mountain."

At the moment, the other two, Yihu, breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly packed up their things, and walked outside.

The carriage they were riding in was kept by a monk at the foot of the mountain, and they delivered some fodder every day, but no one stole it, and it looked like it had grown some flesh.

The old Taoist sat in the front and scolded Gu Yao and the others for getting into the carriage and running towards Qingshui County.

The moment they left the foot of the mountain, the temperature dropped sharply, and the people in the carriage all acted smartly.

Gu Yao skillfully put Xiyan into his arms, squeezed two talismans to disperse the chill, and poked his head out from inside the carriage: "Old man, I"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the old Taoist blocked his head: "What about you, you can talk about it when you go back, hold back what you want to say."

"Your master is so irritable." Wu Shuzhu said in a low voice.

"You are also very courageous." Gu Yao glanced at her.

Immediately he reacted: "Speaking of which, I realized something. You don't need to go back with me at all. If you want to go to Luoyang, you can go directly during the day."

"That's all, I'll send you to Ximen Mansion, and settle the matter of Ximen Qing by the way."

After returning to Bai'e Mountain smoothly, the old Taoist put Wu Shuzhu and Gu's mother at the village head's house, and brought Gu Yao back to the temple.

The gate was closed tightly. Gu Yao yelled a few times, but he didn't see the thief coming out. When he was worried and anxious to open the door, the old man said behind him: "You found a monster again? It's not weak. .”

"Yeah, he's a hedgehog, with ingenuity and ingenuity, he can do everything."

"It hibernates."

"what?"

The old Taoist pushed the Guan door open with his palm, and a gust of cold wind blew in, dispelling the chill in the Guan.

Light a few candles: "It's hibernating here."

There was a large bamboo basket in the corner, which was sealed tightly with dense cloth, and there was a piece of paper on the top: "Don't disturb when you are hibernating."

The old Taoist closed the door, watched Gu Yao put Xiyan down, and was silent for a while: "Come with me."

He brought Gu Yao to the backyard, looked into the distance, and after looking for a long time: "What do you want to ask?"

So straightforward, Gu Yao was stunned for a moment and said: "Why don't you pay homage to the apprenticeship ceremony first? You haven't formally accepted me as an apprentice yet."

The old man was silent.

"Huh? What's the matter, don't you want to test me again? Old man, do you know who I am now? A peerless genius with first-class talent, the supreme Buddha disciple of Buddhism, no accident, the royal family sent me to seduce me The princess is on the way, and you are still hesitating?"

The old Taoist pointed to the kitchen and said, "Go ahead and talk about a few things. After you finish talking, you can decide whether you want to worship me as a teacher."

"What do you want to say?" Gu Yao was a little confused.

"It has something to do with your life experience."

"Ah? Didn't my mother and I were both saved by you? Could it be that you were responsible for my mother's injury?"

The old man walked towards the kitchen silently, and Gu Yao followed behind him.

"sit down."

The old man put an oil lamp in the middle of the table: "Listen to you, you already know a lot."

"The things in my body, after being activated by Bukong's tears, heard some words." Gu Yao touched his chest and cut straight to the point.

The old Taoist nodded: "Are you curious about your father?"

"This"

Can I say I'm not curious?
Without waiting for Gu Yao's answer, the old man said directly: "I killed it."

The old man stared at Gu Yao: "Not only your father, your grandmother, your own aunt, your father's side, except for your grandfather and a few cousins, other relatives, and your mother's side, your own uncle, have all been killed. I killed it."

Gu Yao was dumbfounded: "Did they do something heinous?"

"It doesn't count, it's just that I couldn't control it for a while, so I killed it." The old man said lightly, "Do you still want to worship me as a teacher now?"

"If you don't want to, you can leave directly. I will never stop you, or use you as a material for refining."

"You will succeed in your cultivation in the future, so you can come and kill me."

The flame of the oil lamp suddenly became restless, and the flame flickered crazily, and a chill emanated from the old man, trying to freeze Gu Yao to death.

He sat there, small in stature, and his shadow fell on the wall like a mountain.

Gu Yao looked into the old man's eyes, which were dark and deep, without any emotion.

"What's your answer? Tell me." The old Taoist folded his hands in front of his face and said calmly.
