Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 154
Qiu Zhiqing started his travels with a banner of "Hanging the Pot to Help the World" on his shoulders. He had no destination and wanted to find Bai Zhi, but in retrospect, what could he do looking for her?

It will only increase your troubles, it is better to find an apprentice, who will come to your satisfaction!

At the beginning of May, looking at the Longhu Mountain in front of him, Qiu Zhiqing was speechless. Unexpectedly, he went around and came back again. Thinking about it, he still had some questions to ask Zhang Tianshi.

So Qiu Zhiqing came to visit, but he didn't know that a mage told him that Zhang Tianshi had gone down the mountain and wandered, and he didn't know where he was or where he was...

Isn't this just avoiding him?Needless to say, this is to avoid him, otherwise when he wants to visit, he will know, how could it be such a coincidence that he just went out for a wandering.

Regardless of Zhang Tianshi, he left as soon as he said, carrying the banner of "Hanging the Pot to Help the World", Qiu Zhiqing continued to travel!Recently, he discovered that it is much more convenient to be a wandering doctor than a wandering Taoist priest.

At least one full meal can be eaten in three days. Qiu Zhiqing didn't dare to touch the 1000 taels of silver. He was still thinking about whether he could build a small Taoist temple by then. A thousand taels of silver would be enough to build a small Taoist temple.

Not long after leaving Longhu Mountain, when Qiu Zhiqing passed a stone bridge, he saw a group of children screaming and jumping by the river not far away, and two children were drowning in the river.

One person seemed to be pulled by something, and the other person must have good water skills, so he thought of going into the water to save people, but unexpectedly, he was caught by the person who fell into the water.

Just when Qiu Zhiqing was about to go to save the person, a shepherd boy took the rope from the cow, and after a few swings, it was directly put on the man who fell into the water.

It's a pity that the thing under the water was a bit strong and almost pulled him down too. Seeing this, the other children ran away, shouting, and Qiu Zhiqing saw it,

After a few ups and downs, the shepherd boy who was pulling the rope on the shore came, grabbed the hemp rope, and with a little force, the two people in the water, together with a water monkey holding them, pulled out of the water together.

After the water monkey was pulled out of the water, it was a little flustered. It hurriedly let go and wanted to go into the water, but it felt that the whole monkey, together with the two children, was moving sideways towards the shore.

The water monkey who landed on the shore wanted to get up and run away, but only heard a few "chi chi", and then the water monkey lay down on the ground and stopped moving, but made a strange "squeak" sound from its mouth.

On the limbs, there was a shallow wound on each of them, and the blood flowed profusely.

The few children who were still in shock stayed far away, but the child who used the hemp rope to save others was not very afraid, but instead took a stick from a distance with a curious face, and poked there to play.

Looking at this long-haired water monkey who looks like a human teenage child, he is not afraid.

Qiu Zhiqiu wanted to chat with him at first, such a courageous kid, he has to see if he has the fate of mentor and apprentice!

However, before Qiu Zhiqing could speak, a group of people shouted from behind. A woman ran in the front, crying and crying while calling her child's nickname.

Seeing that his child's life was not in danger, he hugged him fiercely and cried for a while, followed by a beating and scolding. Just as Qiu Zhiqing saw a burst of memories flooding his mind,
The two women pulled their sons and knelt down in front of Qiu Zhiqing with a plop, bending over to kowtow!
Qiu Zhiqing hurried forward and wanted to help them up, but he could only help them in vain, but the four of them insisted on refusing, and the villagers next to them also said: "Master Daoist, let them kowtow, otherwise they will spend the rest of their lives Don't worry!"

"Yes, yes, Daoist Priest, there is no repayment for saving your life, so just let them knock you down..."

"Prince Daoist, ah no! Immortal Chief, the little woman has no way to repay her life-saving grace. In the next life, I will make a straw ring to repay her!"

After finishing speaking, Qiu Zhiqing was stunned and knocked three times firmly, "Bang bang bang~", Qiu Zhiqing hurriedly got the four of them up, and said with a smile:

"You all say that I am a fairy elder, how can there be an afterlife? If you want to repay the poor Taoist, how about asking the poor Taoist to give the two young masters a pulse?"

Upon hearing this, the two women knew that Qiu Zhiqing had good intentions, so they hurriedly asked the children to come forward and asked Qiu Zhiqing to feel their pulse. After a while, Qiu Zhiqing did not prescribe any medicine.

Instead, they patted the chest and back of the two of them a few times, and the two children spit out a few mouthfuls of muddy water. Their faces that had been pale from fright improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Otherwise, under the dual effects of drowning and fright, the two of them would have to suffer a serious illness. At this time, the young and strong in the village also tied up the water monkey that had basically lost its ability to move.

"This is the water ghost, it looks really strange."

"Who said it wasn't, hey, the fairy head is still powerful, and he directly caught the water ghost!"

……

Ignoring the name of the village who were discussing how to kill this "water ghost", Qiu Zhiqing promised the elders in the village to stay for dinner and stop participating in their discussions.

He came to the side of the child who had tied the hemp rope before, and sat down on the ridge beside him.

"Why are you depressed? Didn't you do well today?"

"Master Dao, if it weren't for you, would I have been dragged into the river by the water ghost and eaten by it like Dagou and Erwa?"

Qiu Zhiqing pondered for a moment, and answered truthfully: "It shouldn't be the case if you eat it, but the difference is not too big."

"Daozhang, can I be like you? With a light pull, the big dog and the second baby can be pulled up, so that I won't be afraid of being dragged into the water by the water ghost!"

This is the clan elder who came over and said, "You don't have to be afraid of the water if you don't play by the river! Little bastard, hurry home, your mother will call you again later!"

After all, he wanted Qiu Zhiqing to explain why he came here apologetically, so he asked Qiu Zhiqing to help him with a ritual, saying that he wanted to save this water ghost.

Qiu Zhiqing was very embarrassed, he really had never done Buddhist rituals, and Quanzhen didn't seem to have this kind of business either, they all took Taoist medicine as their main business...

There was no way, seeing the golden crow falling to the west, Qiu Zhiqing regarded it as an evening lesson, and did an evening lesson when the water monkey was cremated, and read the scriptures for a while.

The villagers looked at each other in blank dismay. Why is the Taoist priest's way of doing things different from other Taoist priests?

He neither wears robes, draws talismans, nor opens the altar, just sits cross-legged and recites scriptures, no matter how you look at it, he is similar to those monks, who still knock on wooden fish anyway...

But they just rescued the children in the village, and they didn't ask them for money when they did something. Although the villagers were puzzled, they didn't go into it.

……

When Qiu Zhiqing saw the child again, it was already dinner time.

The clan elders believed that Qiu Zhiqing's arrival not only saved the children in their village, but also helped them catch the water ghost, so they entertained Qiu Zhiqing in the village ancestral hall.

However, because it was too hasty and there was no time to prepare a banquet, Qiu Zhiqing also said that there was no need, so the clan elder temporarily asked everyone to cook two dishes for each family, and served them together in the ancestral hall, so it was considered a banquet!

It's hard to give up the hospitality, but the fact that Qiu Zhiqing didn't drink at the banquet made the clan elders worry about it, saying that the immortal elder looked down on them and didn't even drink with them.

Qiu Zhiqing smiled, and didn't say much. Before, these clan elders respectfully sipped one fairy elder after another, and even after drinking a few bowls of wine, the immortal elder would still scold you...

That night, Qiu Zhiqing spent the night at the clan's hometown!
Only then did I know that I had arrived in Pengze County, and Jiangzhou Prefecture (Jiujiang) was across the river. After counting, it was already mid-May, so Qiu Zhiqing wanted to go to Mount Lushan to have a look.

At the beginning, he had passed by Lushan Mountain several times, but he never had the chance to see it. This time, he planned to take a look.

But before again, I should have gained something!
The next day, the village woke up just after dawn, and the smoke from the cooking was faint. The men went out to fetch water, the women cooked at home, and the children got up to play.

But today there is a different kind of scenery in the village. A Taoist sits under the old camphor tree at the entrance of the village.

Children who usually like to be noisy, looking at the scene in front of them, they find it inexplicably attractive. This is more interesting than playing in water or mud?
So one by one, they began to learn from Qiu Zhiqing. Under the old camphor tree, facing the sun, they began to meditate!
Not long after, Qiu Zhiqing's morning Qi Qi classes ended one after another. Seeing that the group of children looked decent, they couldn't help but feel childlike, and slowly started a set of health-preserving boxing techniques.

A few children felt bored and left on their own, but there were a few children who followed Qiu Zhiqing and started boxing in an orderly manner, among them was the child who saved people yesterday.

About two quarters of an hour later, after the boxing session was over, and the children went home for breakfast one after another, Qiu Zhiqing picked up the "Hanging Pot to Help the World" banner and was about to leave.

But just as he expected, a person stopped him: "Head Immortal, go to my house to have breakfast before leaving. I haven't thanked you well yesterday. If it wasn't for Elder Immortal, my family Zong Baoer might have been killed by that 'water ghost' too." Pull it into the water!"

Qiu Zhiqing already knew that everyone in this village was "Dai" and the child's father called him "Zong Bao'er". From this, it was deduced that the child was either called "Dai Zong" or "Dai Zongbao".

Anyway, no matter how you say it, Qiu Zhiqing can lift it up, as his apprentice is very nice, logically speaking, his next generation is the "Qing" generation, so no matter what name he is called, it is not bad!

Before entering the door, he even thought about whether the apprentice's name sounds good or not. Sure enough, after breakfast, Father Dai squeaked and said that he wanted his son to be a teacher.

However, Qiu Zhiqing did not directly agree, but asked: "The rules of the poor Taoist sect are very strict. If you enter the poor Taoist sect, you must observe the precepts and become a monk, and you are not allowed to marry..."

Sure enough, the previous ones are all good, strict teachers produce high-level apprentices, but as soon as the "no marriage" clause came out, Dai's father and Dai mother immediately stood up to object, but children don't understand the seriousness of "no marriage", so why don't you just plead for mercy? !
Seeing this, Qiu Zhiqing had no choice but to bid farewell, and before leaving, he told him: "It doesn't matter if you can't be an apprentice, just practice the morning boxing in the future!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around, and under the reluctant gaze of the little boy, he drifted away. The first boy he had his eye on failed to accept his apprentice...
