Chapter 23

Bai Zeqing was amazed, and couldn't help turning her head to secretly look at the Taoist priest. Where are so many things hidden?There's no place to hide anything in that tattered Taoist robe, right?And this Taoist is so proficient in throwing books, isn't it the first time?
While thinking wildly, seeing the Taoist priest's cold gaze, she quickly collected her mind and asked solemnly: "Master, after learning this, can you protect Brother Qi's puppet spirit?"

"Can you pursue a little bit?" The Taoist glanced at her, "Cultivate in the shape of a puppet spirit."

"Yeah, I see, Master!" Bai Zeqing nodded hastily, "Thank you, Master!"

"Don't call me master, I don't accept apprentices!" The Taoist gritted his teeth and said every word.

Bai Zeqing was used to hearing this, and automatically ignored this sentence.Looking closely at the token again, it seems to be agarwood, but it is much more moist than it.The word "Yu" is engraved on the front, and runes are engraved on the back.

Bai Zeqing couldn't understand, and asked, "Master, what are these?"

"You can mobilize Yuanzhou Xuanyuyuan." The Taoist tilted his head slightly and pondered for a moment, and added, "However, there should be records in the file, so use it with caution."

Bai Zeqing understood, it means that it is not available unless necessary.She quickly put the token into the inner pocket and hid it.

She opened the plain embroidered brocade bag again, and saw three sheets of paper, one black, one yellow, and one red, with ghostly painted peach symbols on them. She understood it immediately, and said happily, "Master, are these symbols?"

The Taoist couldn't understand where her complacent emotions came from at the moment, and said lightly: "The black one is the invisibility talisman, the yellow one is the formation-breaking talisman, and the red one is the evil-eliminating talisman. It's just in case."

A rainy day?That sounds...wrong!A flash of inspiration flashed in Bai Zeqing's mind, and he grabbed the tattered Taoist robe: "Master, where are you going?"

"Ningzhou. We can't delay." The Taoist pulled back his cuffs calmly.

Bai Zeqing was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Ningzhou? Can Master take me there?" Perhaps, he could still find out the whereabouts of his mother, uncles and aunts.

"No." The Taoist refused without hesitation.

"I want to go back! I want to see if I can find my relatives." Bai Zeqing softened his tone and tried to explain.

"I can't protect you."

"Is it dangerous?" Bai Zeqing immediately understood, and the word that the Taoist priest said appeared in his mind, and asked, "Is it to eliminate evil spirits? It's the same as the Taoist temple on the mountain?"

The Taoist didn't answer, pointing to Liu Yuanpan who was walking down the mountain with everyone, and said: "Let the Xuanyuyuan send talisman paper, cinnabar, Lingbi stone, carving knife and wine." He thought about drawing a few more Talisman, replenish a few formation stones, and then we have to set off.

"Master, I still owe you 6000 taels!" Bai Zeqing said sullenly.

The corner of the Taoist priest's mouth seemed to be pulled upwards, and then disappeared in an instant, and his voice was as calm as ever: "Work hard to earn money, and I will ask you to get it."

While talking, the two ignored the commotion in the wing room and the mountain gate, and walked slowly towards the Hall of Pharmacists.

……

Bai Zeqing finally understood why this Taoist priest always wore that tattered Taoist robe.

This Taoist is really ignorant of common affairs!

Picky eater, but he can't cook and doesn't like to communicate with others.So if there is nothing delicious, I simply don't eat and drink as much as possible.

Only wear robes.I went to a clothing store once, and the waiter in the shop was so buzzed that I didn't see the Taoist robe, so I ran away.From then on, he gave up the idea of ​​buying Taoist robes and simply wore them in tatters.

No wonder you have to practice.

With his temperament, if he doesn't practice, he will be easily beaten to death without starving to death!
Bai Zeqing gave Liu Yuan a very detailed list of supplies. In addition to the cinnabar talisman paper spirits, there were also two sets of Taoist robes of specific sizes, ingredients for making snacks and dry food, some daily sundries, and materials for drawing thangkas.

When the supplies were sent up the mountain, Bai Zeqing had already met with the monk Cifa and moved into the layman's room not far from the Buddhist scriptures pavilion.

The environment here is very good, only Bai Zeqing lives in a row of six laymen's rooms.There is a small courtyard outside the house, and there is a stone table and four stone benches on the north side of the courtyard.There is a flower garden on the east side of the small courtyard, but it is neglected and overgrown with weeds.Next to the flower garden is a water tank half a person's height, which is filled with half a bucket of clear water.

At this time, the Taoist priest and Bai Zeqing both put on plain blue Taoist robes that fit well.

Bai Zeqing tied her long hair up high, looked at the figure on the glass window, very energetic.Looking at the Taoist priest again, tsk tsk, her master, what a jade tree facing the wind, with a fairy spirit!

"Master, you should dress and comb your hair well in the future, otherwise it will be a pity for your good bones." She dug out the boxwood comb from the pile of daily supplies and said while combing the Taoist priest's hair.

"Don't call me Master!" The Taoist said solemnly.

Bai Zeqing was used to combing Brother Qi's hair, so he quickly tied the Taoist priest's long hair into a bun: "My name is Bai Zeqing, the daughter of Bai Yan, the prefect of Ningzhou. Master, can you tell me, what is your name?"

"Li." The Taoist was silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth.

Leave?Bai Zeqing silently read it twice in her heart.one word?Does that count as a name?What a strange name.She thought about it, and fixed the green bamboo hairpin on the bun.

"Master, I must study hard and earn money hard!"

The Taoist nodded and added, "Find out the truth."

"Yeah!" Bai Zeqing nodded, and then urged, "Master, in the food box are my steamed buns, crispy balls, and Sammo cakes. They are all hometown snacks that I learned from my aunt."

"I am leaving."

"En!" Bai Zeqing pursed his lips, "Master..." Before he could say anything, his voice was a little choked up.

"Don't touch me, Lao Tzu!" The Taoist figure was tens of feet away before the words finished.

Monk Cifa is waiting on the steps there.

……

The two walked to the mountain gate, and at this time the refugees had already returned to Yuanzhou City under the "escort" of the soldiers.The outside of the mountain gate has been restored to cleanliness, only a few young monks and a few young novice monks are cleaning.

Seeing the Taoist priest looking back at the layman's room, the monk Cifa hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the benefactor, the poor monk will definitely take good care of the little benefactor Bai."

The Taoist shook his head and said, "No, don't take care of it."

The monk was taken aback.

The Taoist said indifferently: "My apprentice."

The monk immediately understood, "Don't worry, the benefactor, the poor monk will strictly demand the little benefactor, and there will be no delay in class in the morning and practice in the evening." After a pause, he added: "The library is also open for her."

The Taoist nodded, "Thank you." Then he turned around and left, but after a while, he disappeared.

Bai Zeqing stood on Meishan and looked at the mountain gate, but soon he could not see the figure of the Taoist priest, and then said the words choked in his throat: "Master, you are invincible..."

His tone was clear and cold, and he no longer had the joy and anticipation of saying this sentence before.

"Daddy is invincible! I'll wait for you to come back!"

"Brother is invincible! I'll wait for your return!"

"Brother Qi is invincible, I'll wait for your return!"

These words lingered in my ears, but I didn't dare to say the phrase "Master, I am invincible...".
