I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 31 Unexpected clues

It was dark when we walked out of the library.

There were still two servants standing at the door of the storehouse, holding lanterns, waiting for the whole time. When they saw that Gu Yao had finally come out, they hurried up to greet him: "Little Daoist Gu, have you figured it out? Are you hungry? This is the kitchen, we Take you to dinner."

Gu Yao rubbed his stomach: "I'm sorry."

The other person walked into the library and extinguished the candles in the library: "Little Daoist Gu, you are too serious about reading. I went in to light the lamp before and asked if you want to take a break and drink some tea and some pastries. You didn't listen to it, little one, seeing that you are concentrating, you don't have the temperament to disturb your reading."

Gu Yao nodded: "These books are so well written, I am too addicted."

The two men breathed a sigh of relief, and took Gu Yao to the kitchen.

It seems that Master Hou is not gentle with these servants.

What the servant said just now was actually telling Gu Yao that they were inviting him to enjoy tea and snacks, and they did not neglect their duties.

Entering the kitchen, I happened to bump into a burly scholar eating and drinking in it.

It was Hou Longxiao, the second son of the Hou Mansion.

"Second Young Master, are you back from the academy?" Gu Yao walked over and greeted him while sitting opposite him.

Hou Longxiao swallowed the contents of his mouth with great difficulty, and hurriedly hissed: "My good brother Gu, please speak in a quieter voice, and if my father hears it, my legs will be broken."

"Huh? Master Hou is so fierce? I think he is quite kind."

Hou Longxiao glanced outside the room: "You haven't seen him at night, I advise you, brother, you have to go straight away, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow in the daytime."

The two servants who brought him nodded hurriedly: "Little Daoist Gu, we also want to talk about this. After you finish your meal, I will take you out through the back door. No matter what big or small things you have, come back tomorrow."

Gu Yao stopped his chopsticks: "Why? Can you tell me in detail?"

Hou Longxiao licked his lips: "It is after the sun goes down that my father will become very irritable. He only wants to spread the branches and leaves for the Hou family, and he has to exercise with the aunts every night."

"No matter who or what, if he disturbs him, he will be very angry."

"His ears are very sensitive, and he can hear any trouble. I drank flower wine before and didn't bring enough money. When I went home to get the money, he heard Xiaoding's opening the door."

"He ran out without any pants on, beat Xiaoding and me with a stick and lay on the bed for ten days."

Gu Yao listened intently, and suddenly asked, "How's Master Hou's appetite?"

"I really don't know my appetite. I haven't eaten at home for a long time." Hou Longxiao shook his head.

But the servant at the side said: "The master has a good appetite, and it has been getting better and better in the past few months."

Gu Yao continued to ask: "Then, did Master Hou invite any statues to worship recently?"

He remembered Wutongshen.

This symptom is somewhat similar to that of Master Hou.

Is it just that the Wutongshen can possess people?
The servant nodded and said: "After the eldest son's accident, the master went to the Golden Buddha Temple to ask for a son, and invited a Buddha statue back to worship in the west wing."

And it has something to do with the Golden Buddha Temple?

Looking at it this way, there may really be clues to Wutongshen, Zongyuan, and Saint Pirates in the Hou Mansion.

Gu Yao regained his spirit: "Can I go and have a look?"

The servant looked distressed, Hou Longxiao said with a smile: "I'm afraid that won't work, the west wing room is the residence of my eighteen aunts, and there are only women inside, even the male servants are not allowed to enter."

Gu Yao showed a serious face, and he was full of righteousness: "I am a Taoist priest, you should think that I have no gender."

"You don't think my father doesn't care if you have no chickens. Are you willing to give up your six-inch gun?" Hou Longxiao said with a strange smile.

"Forget it, but Second Young Master, you should have heard about Jing Yesi's incident. Let me tell you that your father's symptoms are similar to one of the ghosts."

When Hou Longxiao heard this, he also put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, with a serious face: "Really? Will my father's life be in danger?"

"I don't know about that. I've also heard about that kind of ghost from senior experts."

"Oh." Hou Longxiao slumped again, "How about this, come back tomorrow during the day, and I'll find a chance to take you into the west wing and let you have a look."

"Second Young Master, don't do it." The faces of the two servants turned pale with fright, "If you go, you will be punished severely again."

"It's okay, the maids in the west wing are so beautiful, I've wanted to go there for a long time."

Hou Longxiao didn't care.

The two whispered nonsense again, mainly because Hou Longxiao was missing the girl in Loufeng Pavilion, and finally Gu Yao packed some pastries and left through the back door.

Qingshui County is extremely quiet tonight.

There was no one on the road, and the shops closed their doors early.

Although the news of Jing Yesi in the daytime was blocked, the fire alone was enough to make people think about it.

Walking past the door of Dongming Mansion, Gu Yao noticed that his house didn't even hang any lanterns.

On one street, their house was the darkest and quietest.

"There is no lantern, are you going out?"

"No, there are servants at the house even when you go out."

Gu Yao took a few glances, then shook his head: "I'll ask tomorrow, but Dong Mingda seems to be avoiding me recently, is it because Yichen was frightened by the old Taoist?"

Going out of the city and up the mountain, the bare branches all over the mountain, under the moonlight, are surrounded by shadows like fierce ghosts with teeth and claws.

"I'm still a little flustered when the old Taoist is not around. Although my own attraction to ghosts has been covered up after practicing, as long as I don't get injured and vomit blood, I will basically not be discovered, but no one knows the truth, and I don't know the truth."

Cultivation is essentially cutting off the mortal body, transforming the immortal body, starting from the five internal organs, and gradually spreading.

"Ow~"

As soon as I saw the Taoist temple, a blazing red fireball rushed towards Gu Yao and plunged into Gu Yao's arms.

"Alright, Xiyan, I'm here."

Gu Yao hugged the little fox, rua rua, the fox twisted in his arms obediently, the big tail wrapped around Gu Yao's arm.

"Ow~"

"She said that she was knocked out by the viewer, and when she woke up, she found that everyone was gone, only the other younger brothers and sisters who were knocked out. She thought you had run away, so I don't want them."

Gu Yao glanced around, and saw a hedgehog carrying a big bag at the door.

"Are you that despicable hedgehog? Are you here again?"

Gu Yao walked over with the fox in his arms.

The hedgehog saluted Gu Yao, then pushed the package over and opened it, revealing various herbs and ores inside.

"Master Dao, I was originally cultivating in the Black Chicken Mountain, but now the Black Chicken Mountain has been destroyed and it has become a barren land."

Gu Yao subconsciously glanced at the dark mountain shadow, thinking of the thunder that night, it really didn't grow a hair.

The hedgehog continued: "That's why the little demon also wants to worship in the Taoist temple and practice in the temple."

It seemed that he was afraid of Gu Yao's rejection: "Don't worry, Taoist priest, the little demon has practiced for 70 years and has never harmed anyone. Instead, he has helped many people. In addition, the little demon can cook, wash clothes, chop firewood, make fire, make medicine, and see a doctor. It is necessary for the Taoist priest to give the little demon a home, and the little demon must work hard."

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow " the fox weakly called out a few words.

"She said I was like a good-for-nothing fox."

"Oh, by the way, I can also be an interpreter." The hedgehog said respectfully.

"Ouch."

"She said she liked you very much."

"Aww!" Xiyan rushed to the hedgehog, out of breath.

(σ`д')σ!

Super fierce.

"I'm sorry, Daoist, the little demon was joking just now." The hedgehog immediately apologized.

Gu Yao looked at it, as if there was no reason to refuse.

There are already a group of little monsters, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with one more.

What's more, this is only a nanny.

So he agreed.

The hedgehog happily moved in.

The next day, just as Gu Yao was about to go down the mountain, Jing Yesi came.

"Maoshan Taoist Gu Yao, Jing Yesi welcomes you."

The person who came was Kun Dao who had never seen before.
