Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 40
The blind Taoist has lived in the Taoist temple by himself for more than ten years. To be honest, Li Xiuyuan is really reluctant to leave now. After all, people are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless? Even cats and dogs have feelings after getting along for a long time.

But the blind Taoist seems to have figured out that his elixir is about to be refined, so he wants to go back to the mountain gate in advance to cultivate the golden elixir avenue.

"Disciple, the world is getting more and more chaotic now, and there are more and more monsters and ghosts for some reason. The Guobei County where you were born even has monsters and evil spirits, let alone other places. , I'm afraid the situation will get worse, I really hope that this turmoil can end as soon as possible, and the world will be at peace."

In addition to exhorting the blind Taoist, he also had some intentions of pity for the common people.

What Li Xiuyuan heard was shaking his head and smiling wryly.

How can there be peace in this Liao Zhai world, isn't it all demons and ghosts emerging in endlessly?

"I have compiled a book for the teacher over the years, called "The Record of Demons", which records all the monsters and ghosts that the teacher has seen, met, and heard over the years, as well as some methods of restraint and coping. If you have time, return You need to study it carefully, it will be of great benefit to you."

As he spoke, the blind man took out a compiled book from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Xiuyuan's hand.

"This book must not be circulated at will, otherwise it will easily attract the hatred of demons and ghosts, because there are methods to restrain them, demons and ghosts will not allow this book to spread."

After Li Xiuyuan took it, he thought silently in his heart: If this book can be rubbed and printed in tens of millions, and everyone has one copy, the people in this world will be free from being harmed by demons and ghosts.

"By the way, you should keep that golden gun well. That weapon is not easy to come by. The tip of the gun is made of Thor's cone. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like mud. But remember, don't encounter fire. Thor's cone meets ordinary fire. It must be transformed." The blind Taoist thought for a while, then remembered something, and gave a warning.

"The disciple remembered it."

Li Xiuyuan nodded, he didn't expect that the tip of his gun, which swallowed gold like a tiger, had such a history.

"That's all I have to tell you as a teacher. After I leave, you can take care of everything yourself. You are a born saint with great luck and great blessings, but you will also suffer disasters. This is inevitable."

The blind Taoist shook his head and said, and then gave some instructions, before he turned around and left with his sleeves empty.

"Master, take care." Li Xiuyuan said.

But before walking a few steps, the blind Taoist turned back suddenly and said, "By the way, apprentice, do you have any silver taels on you? Let me borrow a little bit from my teacher. It's a bit outrageous for me to go back to the mountain this time without bringing anything." , you should bring some gifts back, so as not to be scolded by those brothers and sisters who are teachers."

"."

Li Xiuyuan sighed, and took out an ingot of gold and gave it to him: "If it's not enough, master go to the mansion and ask my father for it."

"Enough, enough. Hehe."

The blind Taoist got an ingot of gold, and left happily. After walking away for a long distance, he made a magic formula, and disappeared on the road with a sway of his body, without a trace.

"My cheap master does have some skills." Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said, "But...why are you so timid and afraid of death?"

After thinking about it, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"By the way, I haven't asked the master about Lanruo Temple and the house-protecting talisman."

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan remembered something, slapped his head suddenly, and said in annoyance.

I seem to have forgotten several things, and it's all because of the ecstasy that made me confused.

But now everyone is gone, so I can only ask when I come back next time.

Now, with the departure of the blind Taoist, there is no one in this Taoist temple, and he does not intend to stay here anymore. After all, he came to the Taoist temple only to practice martial arts, and now he finds out that he was deceived by his master. There is no need to continue.

As long as you take time out every day to exercise your muscles and bones, it is enough to keep your martial arts from regressing.

"It's not too late, let's go back to Guobei County." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

Immediately, he closed the doors and windows of the Taoist temple, took the golden spear and the golden goose bow, and strode down the mountain.

He didn't leave Qianliju behind.

Because according to the usual habits, martial arts training takes [-] days, and no one has time to take care of the horses, so the guards have always let them go back, who knows that they will leave so early today.

After tidying up, Li Xiuyuan walked down the mountain, preparing to go back to Guobei County.

When he walked to Xiahe Village, he suddenly saw Liu Laogen, a villager who had returned from farming.

He thought of something, so he called out: "Liu Laogen, come here."

"Young master?" Liu Laogen smiled and greeted him respectfully.

Li Xiuyuan said, "Help me with a job."

"The young master's work must be a good job, please give me orders from the young master." Liu Laogen said.

Li Xiuyuan pointed to the Taoist temple on the mountain and said: "My master has been out for a while and is not in the Taoist temple. I am worried that no one will take care of the Taoist temple. You will take care of it for me every now and then. This matter is done. Your rent for the second half of the year."

"Young master, don't worry, leave this matter to me. I promise to keep the Taoist temple clean, and there won't even be a single mosquito." Liu Laogen said a little excitedly.

Cleaning the Taoist temple is nothing more than a busy matter. If the rent for the second half of the year can be exempted, it will be a real benefit.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "If my master doesn't come in the second half of the year, then you will continue to take care of it next year, and you will also be exempted from rent."

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master." Liu Laogen smiled wrinkledly, and thanked him again and again.

"I'm leaving, go get busy." Li Xiuyuan said.

Only then did Liu Laogen leave happily.

Seeing him like that, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help smiling. Farmers in this world are simple, and they are so happy to be exempted from rent for half a year.

However, he didn't want to spoil this innocence, so he never gave real money to the poor casually, because in his opinion, it is better to teach people to fish than to give them a fish. Why not do it.

Just when he was about to leave Xiahe Village, he passed by the entrance of the village and met Aunt Wang.

"Hey, young master, why are you here?" Aunt Wang said in amazement when she saw Li Xiuyuan.

"Where am I not here?" Li Xiuyuan smiled.

Aunt Wang hurriedly said, "No, that's not what I meant. Didn't the young master meet my girl when he came down from the mountain?"

"Which girl from your family went up the mountain to find me?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Who else is there, that widow Du that the young master brought back from the forest some time ago, she saw the young master returning to the Taoist temple earlier, she prepared a pot of rice wine and a few side dishes, and planned to go up the mountain to thank the young master As for the grace of saving lives, it will take a while to go here, didn't the eldest and young master see it?" Aunt Wang asked curiously.

"Going down the mountain, there is only one way up the mountain. I didn't see Widow Du." Li Xiuyuan shook his head.

"That's weird, where did my sister go, maybe she was kidnapped by a mandrill again." Aunt Wang muttered.

He does not mean that.

Li Xiuyuan frowned: "Maybe I missed it for a while. There are so many mandrills here. Last time I killed the mandrill, so there should be no more. But there is no one in the Taoist temple right now. If she goes to the mountain to find I'm afraid I can't find it, so I'd better go back and have a look, so as not to make her wait in the Taoist temple for no reason, after all, it's a good intention to invite me to drink."

"If the young master has something to go back, I can go for the young master." Aunt Wang said.

"Forget it, I'll go there myself." Li Xiuyuan said, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

This Taoist temple is just one way from Xiahe Village, straight and straight, if someone goes up the mountain, it is impossible not to see it.

I'm afraid that Widow Du is really what Aunt Wang said, and something happened on the way.

Immediately, Li Xiuyuan turned around and turned back towards the Taoist temple.
