I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 95 The Box Under the Bed

Ximen Qing didn't understand what Gu Yao meant, holding a short stick in his hand, he fell into the pursuit of truth again.

Gu Yao moved him to the side of the road and said goodbye silently.

"Speaking of which, Ximen's family is in the clothing and silk business, but I remember that apart from those high-quality silk costumes, the best, most popular and most profitable ones sold in private are those bellybands, crotch pants and the like."

"Well, yes, they also sell dowry eight-piece sets, which are quite expensive."

As he walked, Gu Yao turned his head and glanced at Ximen Qing, and a charming woman walked out of the room, bowing down to apologize to him, wanting to return the short stick.

"No one in Qingshui County has the surname Wu, and the high officials of Ximen are honest and generous, so there shouldn't be any human tragedies."

Withdrawing his gaze, he quickened his pace and ran towards the Taoist temple.

The mountain is very deserted and the temperature is a bit low.

The gate of the Taoist temple was wide open, and a hedgehog in a Taoist robe and a small hat was lying on the futon, reciting scriptures to the Sanqing statue.

"Stealer?"

"Have you maxed out your tailoring skills?"

Gu Yao looked around, and found that the other little monsters in the room were also dressed in Taoist robes, but they were all messed up at the moment, sleeping soundly in various places.

The mother-in-law got up, and said with some surprise: "Master Dao, you are back."

Then she was a little embarrassed and said, "I thought there were quite a few little monsters in the Taoist temple. I was worried that the Taoists and monks passing by would be misunderstood or scare the people passing by, so I sewed robes for them all."

"In this way, when others see it, they will know that it was raised by a Taoist priest, and it will not kill anyone."

Gu Yao nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing. I also like these human crafts. I feel that if I do more, I can cultivate myself as soon as possible."

"What about Xiyan?"

Gu Yao glanced around, but didn't see Xiyan, and was a little confused.

"She's sleeping on your bed. It's cold, and she doesn't like to move anymore. She sleeps for seven or eight hours a day, so she just lives in your quilt and doesn't move."

The corner of Gu Yao's mouth twitched: "I see, you can continue to practice."

After bidding farewell to the thief, Gu Yao walked to his room.

The room was a little dark, and the windows were tightly closed, not revealing a single seam, so that the air was a little stuffy.

A red-haired fox had its belly up, its four claws bent, and its neck twisted, twisting into a furry circle on the messy bedding.

Gu Yao approached lightly and took a look. The pointed mouth of the broken fox was slightly opened, half of the red tongue was stuck out, and a line of white eyes was even rolled out from both eyes.

Sleep very hard.

Gently pinching the big fluffy tail, Xiyan twisted it again and continued to fall asleep.

Gu Yao stopped being impolite. He stroked his tail along the fur, and then stroked it against the fur. It was soft and felt great.

Xiyan even made a comfortable snoring sound.

"It's too dead to sleep."

Watching Xiyan turn over on the bed, grabbing the air with both front paws, and stretching in the dream, Gu Yao couldn't help it, picked it up, and squeezed it in his arms for a while. .

"Ooooooooooooooo!"

Suffering such an attack suddenly, Xi Yan was terrified enough, wriggling in Gu Yao's arms, four paws slashing wildly.

"It's me, it's me, it's me, stop it!"

"Ow~Ow~"

"I'm back."

"Ow."

"It's only been a few days, why have you gained weight again?"

"Ow!"

Xiyan gave Gu Yao a tail, leaped deftly, and got out of the room.

"It's comfortable." Gu Yao sat on the edge of the bed and smiled contentedly.

"She said you can shut up if you can't speak."

The stealing mother appeared at the door at some point, and Youyou translated a sentence, which shocked Gu Yao.

"Mother-in-law, knock on the door next time, by the way, what's the matter?"

"When I was cleaning Guanli, I found a box under the bed in the room over there, inside"

The room over there, isn't that the old way's bedroom?

Gu Yao jumped up and said excitedly: "Have you found the old man's private money? You are really good at stealing mother, and you are also full of treasure hunting?"

He rushed to the room over there excitedly: "Where is that box?"

"I put it under the bed, Taoist priest, I think we should wait for the temple master"

Before the mother-in-law finished speaking, Gu Yao had already pulled out the box.

It is a bit reluctant to say that it is a box, it is a flat and long black wooden box.

"Let me see what treasures the old man has hidden. After so many years, I don't know how many things the old man has hidden."

He wiped his hands and opened the box.

It didn't contain any treasures or artifacts that Gu Yao thought of, such supernatural powers as Tianxinlei, but it was actually a Taoist robe.

"A brand new Taoist robe?"

Taking out the Taoist robe, there are two more scriptures underneath.

"Dao Zang" and "Tai Chuan Du Yi".

The bottom one is a stacked picture scroll and a sealed letter.

Gu Yao looked at the pile of things in his hand and was a little dazed.

"Let me think about it, these two books are for conferring talismans, plus this Taoist robe, ah, hahaha, old man, I know you can't bear to part with me as a genius apprentice."

"He said he wouldn't accept me, and everything was prepared secretly."

Gu Yao clicked his tongue a few times, put the scriptures and Taoist robe on the bed with a smile on his face, and looked at the letter and picture scroll.

"This envelope is not addressed to anyone, and the lacquer seal is intact, so let's not open it for now."

"Anyway, there is this Taoist robe. I guess it is when you plan to accept me as a disciple, so you can show it to me?"

"The old man shouldn't write a bunch of sensational words in a disgusting way."

"At that time, I have to pretend that I don't know, and be moved when I read the letter, and then wait for the old man to be moved too, and then tell him that I knew it a long time ago. I think the face will be very exciting."

Putting the letter aside, Gu Yao gave a strange laugh and opened the last scroll.

stunned.

On the scroll, there is a woman without a face.

"What do you mean? Is this woman the one whom the Taoist admires? Or, someone related to me? The original owner's mother?"

"Why no face?"

Gu Yao stared at the scroll for a while: "Mother, what does it mean to draw people without faces?"

The thief stood at the door. For some reason, she always felt that there was a word of danger on the top of her head, and she trembled: "This is either because I am afraid that the painting will not be good, and I can't bear to ruin the shape, or it is to give people more imagination."

"Really?" Gu Yao muttered a few words, folded the painting and put it back.

Put all the things back as they were, and dug a hole under the bed according to the mother-in-law's words, buried the box in it, and Gu Yao walked out contentedly.

"Mother-in-law, why are you shaking? Are you still shaking so much?"

The mother-in-law said with a crying voice: "I don't know, I suddenly feel that I will die soon."

"Huh? Let's drink more hot water."

Gu Yao didn't quite understand, but seeing her appearance, he picked her up and brought her to the kitchen.

In the distant city of Chang'an, a somewhat hunched old Taoist leaned against a leafy tree.

The four trees around him were full of people hanging from them.

Men and women, old and young, Taoist monks, everything.

There are even two eunuchs and a court lady.

He fiddled with the beads in his hand, looked up to the east: "Why did this little bastard suddenly dig the bottom of my bed?"

"Forget it, let him go."

He glanced at the sky again, picked up the flow beads, and slapped them hard on the tree trunk: "Cry for me, if you don't cry out your boss, cry out your little souls."

"woo woo woo woo."
