Chapter 5 Taoist Qin

Stepping into the backyard of Changshengguan, it feels like you have entered another world.

Without tourists and incense, the world in the backyard seems quiet and primitive.

There are only a few wing-style buildings in the backyard, which are living areas such as living rooms, kitchens and utility rooms.

The bluestone pavement at your feet winds all the way from the entrance of the courtyard to the entrance of the house. If you look closely, the color difference is a bit like the dividing line on the Tai Chi disk.

There is a circle of rugged rocks surrounding the wall connecting the backyard to the front yard. Behind the rocks is a cluster of beautiful Guanyin bamboos, giving this simple backyard a little decoration.

Lawyer Fang pointed to the room in the middle and said to Xuan Xia, "That's Mr. Xuan's bedroom."

The doors and windows of the house are wide open, allowing sunlight to shine in, and the indoor objects also reflect a strong sense of age.

Xuan Xia asked: "Can I go in and have a look?"

"Of course." Lawyer Fang asked Xuan Xia to do what he wanted.

Xuan Xia stepped into his great-grandfather's bedroom with some curiosity and exploration.

The bedroom feels just like outside, full of a sense of age, and the furniture is all old objects.Someone has obviously been cleaning the bedroom, everything is neat and tidy, and everything is neatly placed.

It's just bedding and pillowcases. It doesn't look like something used by an elderly person.

In addition, the most eye-catching thing is the ancient style bookshelf in the room.

The bookshelf is densely packed with various notebooks, almost filling up the entire bookshelf from top to bottom.

Why was Xuan Xia sure it was a notebook? It was because she recognized a bunch of them. They were the type of notebooks that were very popular when she was in middle school.She has it too.

There is nothing unusual about placing books on a bookshelf, but placing notebooks is.

Xuan Xia curiously pulled out a book, flipped through it, and found that it actually contained a diary.

Looking at the wording, Xuan Xia was sure that this was her great-grandfather's diary.

Turning back to look at the number of notebooks on the bookshelf, Xuan Xia just wanted to praise her great-great-grandfather. He was really amazing for being able to write so many diaries.

After boasting in her heart, she looked back at the diary in her hand.

[The rainy season has entered again, and the younger members of the Mei family in Huizhou were complaining about the unrest again. After receiving several letters, they even sent someone to visit them.I shouldn’t get involved in this matter, but they are already so sincere, so it’s okay to relax the rules and go take a look first...]
……

After reading the article, Xuan Xia decided to retract his previous judgment.

This is not Grandpa’s diary. This is a novel written by Grandpa in his spare time, right?

Take the article she just read for example. It is about a family named Mei in Huizhou. During the rainy season in the past few years, strange things always happen in the old ancestral hall of the family.To use the words of great grandfather, it should be the evil that has happened.

The Mei family is an ancestral Taoist family. Unfortunately, the descendants are not as good as the previous generations. They cannot learn the skills of their ancestors. The more they deal with it, the worse it gets, and then they blame her great-grandfather.

Her great-grandfather originally refused to go because of the rules, but they were sincere and he went because of his old friendship. Then he described in detail what kind of evil the Mei family had done and how he resolved it. This is evil.

Putting aside everything else, Xuan Xia couldn't help but praise that the writing was so wonderful!
Just when I was about to turn over and read another page, a voice suddenly appeared in the backyard.

Then Lawyer Fang also started talking.

Xuan Xia's first reaction was that Chief Qin, whom Lawyer Fang had mentioned, had arrived. She closed her notebook and looked out the open window.

It happened that Lawyer Fang also called her: "Miss Xuan, come to eat noodles."

At this time, Xuan Xia saw the person clearly, wearing a short blue Taoist uniform with a sloped collar and holding a wooden tray.

On the wooden tray are two bowls of noodles.

Is this person Taoist Master Qin?
That burly figure, that upright face, and if it weren't for that clothes, Xuan Xia would have thought that this person was a good candidate for a bodyguard.

However, Xuan Xia also knew that people should not be judged by their appearance, not to mention that Taoist Qin was also the agent for various matters of her great-grandfather's Taoist temple.

She put on a polite smile, stepped out of her great-grandfather's bedroom, and said hello: "Hello, Taoist Master Qin."

The two people outside looked stunned.

Later, Lan Daofu said: "I'm not."

Lawyer Fang said: "He is not." Xuan Xia: "..."

So, who is Taoist Master Qin?

Isn’t it true that there is only one Taoist Master Qin in the Taoist temple?
Xuan Xia kept a smile on her face. As long as she wasn't embarrassed, she wasn't the one who was embarrassed.

As if answering Xuan Xia's question, Lawyer Fang glanced away and continued, "Daoist Master Qin is here."

Xuan Xia turned around and saw two more people at the door of the backyard.

One is standing and the other is sitting in a wheelchair.

Xuan Xia focused on the man in the wheelchair.

It's not that the person is in a wheelchair that attracts her attention, it's that the standing person has a wall compared to the person in the wheelchair!
The one standing next to Lawyer Fang is exactly the same as the one facing him. They are both in the wrong profession. From their looks, body shape to temperament, they are perfect for a bodyguard role.

The one sitting down is different.

Don’t talk about temperament, just talk about face...

Xuan Xia admitted that she judged people by their appearance.

Growing up, there were very few people who could impress her with her beauty.Not mentioning Qin Yi, Xuan Xia was sincerely convinced by what he saw in front of him.

He looks about 25 years old, with cold eyes.

He also has long hair, which is tied into a bun on the top of his head with a jade hairpin.

Xuan Xia looked at him and suddenly thought of the sentence "Limited number of tickets, 100 tickets per day" posted on the left door.

With people like this to interpret the signatures, 100 signatures every day is really not a problem.

He was probably very busy and tired while interpreting the signatures. He looked a little sad, but after realizing Xuan Xia's inspection, he cheered up when he looked back.

Xuan Xia looked at him and was convinced that this was "Taoist Master Qin".

The real Daochang Qin's eyes moved slightly and he said, "Is it Miss Xuan?" His tone was low, gentle, and pleasant to the ear.

Xuan Xia answered yes and imitated his tone unconsciously, "Is it Taoist Master Qin?"

So Taoist Master Qin glanced at her one more time. After a second, he looked to the side and said, "You two have lunch first." After saying that, he lifted his long and thin hand that was originally resting on the armrest of the wheelchair and was covered by his sleeves. With one finger, press the armrest panel.

The wheelchair just moved to the yard automatically.

Xuan Xia raised his eyebrows slightly. If it weren't for his combination of Chinese and Western styles, it would really give people the illusion that he was an immortal character who came out of ancient books.

***
The person who served the noodles brought the noodles into the kitchen, and then moved to another room with the person who came with Taoist Qin.

Xuan Xia looked at the backs of the two people and felt a little more confused.

Lawyer Fang, who entered the kitchen first, was greeting Xuan Xia attentively, asking her to eat the noodles quickly, otherwise the taste would be compromised.

Xuan Xia felt that Lawyer Fang couldn't wait any longer, but it was too rude to prevent her from being there, so he greeted him desperately.

There was an old-fashioned Eight Immortals table in the kitchen, and even the seats were old benches. Lawyer Fang chose a seat inside, and then left the seat near the door to Xuan Xia. The wheelchair of Taoist Master Qin was also parked. Next to that location.

It seemed that he wanted to make it easier for Xuan Xia and Taoist Qin to talk.

Xuan Xia was not polite and asked Lawyer Fang in front of Taoist Master Qin: "How many Taoist priests are there in the Taoist temple now?"

In fact, she wanted to ask how many employees there were who needed her to pay their wages.

Paying wages is a very basic issue, and Taoist priests also need to pay wages.

I originally thought there was only one Taoist priest, but now I have met three. Let’s not talk about whether we can get a salary or not, but don’t already owe others three months’ salary.

If that didn't work, she would go back and ask Ji Ziyao if the contracted artist could advance his salary in advance.

The two people just now can be sent away first, and Taoist Qin... can stay here.
