Qin Luo traveled to a world of cultivation where demons ran rampant. To protect himself, he came to the Dragon and Tiger Monastery to learn from a master, only to find out that his master was a swi...
The sun is rising.
The Longhu Temple was bustling with activity.
People in the surrounding area heard that the door gods of Longhu Temple could slay monsters, so they flocked to buy the door god portraits. Wealthy people would also burn incense and pray for blessings, and donate money for incense.
There was an incense stall in front of the main hall. Ziyue was in charge of selling incense, candles and portraits. She didn't need to advertise; she just collected money.
The incense money had to be given to Zhang Fulong, and the money for buying the painting would go to Ziyue; she was busy as a bee.
Qin Luo answered the questions of the people in the courtyard.
The down-on-his-luck middle-aged man respectfully asked, "Immortal Master, I've been having a lot of bad luck lately. Is there something unclean on me?"
Qin Luo's eyes gleamed with golden light. He saw nothing unclean in the down-on-his-luck middle-aged man. "Benefactor, when the heart is righteous, no evil can invade; when the family is harmonious, all blessings will come."
The down-on-his-luck middle-aged man pondered these words.
A wealthy merchant dressed in a red robe approached and asked, "Master, could you tell my fortune?"
Qin Luo shook his head and chuckled, "I don't know how to tell fortunes. Please wait a moment, benefactor, while I go and ask my master to tell your fortune."
"Thank you for your help, Immortal Master."
The wealthy merchant in the red robe bowed with his hands clasped.
Qin Luo went deep into the Taoist temple to inform his master.
Zhang Fulong was woken up, feeling aches and pains in his back. "My back hurts so much!"
If it weren't for wanting to make money, Zhang Fulong would definitely be resting in bed. He endured the pain and came to the front yard, where the lively scene almost made his jaw drop.
The Taoist temple was packed with people.
Zhang Fulong had been at Longhu Temple for decades, and this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a scene of people crowding together. Seeing the door god portraits being frantically snatched up, he finally understood what was going on.
"Master Zhang!"
The people quickly gathered around.
"Master Zhang, could you please tell my fortune first?"
"Master Zhang, my sow isn't giving birth. Can you help me think of a solution?"
"Master Zhang, I've been having nightmares lately. I must have encountered some evil spirits. What should I do?"
"Don't rush, take it one at a time."
"Fortune telling costs ten taels of silver per session."
The wealthy merchant in red robes immediately pulled out ten taels of silver.
Zhang Fulong calculated with his fingers and said in a deep voice, "I see that your forehead is dark, which is a very bad omen. A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings. Your family must have a lot of ill-gotten gains."
The wealthy merchant in red robes was terrified. "Master Zhang, I know I was wrong. Can you save me?"
Zhang Fulong said in a serious tone, "If you can't handle that money, it will bring you disaster. Take from the people and use it for the people. A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings."
"I see."
The wealthy merchant in red robes kept this in mind.
Qin Luo observed from the sidelines and benefited greatly.
Next came a farmer's wife whose sows were not giving birth. Zhang Fulong picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription: "This prescription is specifically for treating sow infertility. It only costs twenty coins."
"Thank you, Immortal Master."
The peasant woman took out a handful of copper coins from her bosom and carefully counted the amount. "Master, here is twenty coins."
When he encounters wealthy businessmen, Zhang Fulong will try to swindle them, but he is relatively friendly to ordinary people.
"Master, is this prescription suitable for human consumption?"
"You can't take medicine indiscriminately."
Zhang Fulong said with a smile, "If you want a child, you can pray to the Dao Ancestor. Sincerity will bring results."
"Thank you, Immortal Master. I will go and pray for blessings now."
"Senior brother, we're running out of portraits!"
Ziyue shouted loudly.
Upon hearing his junior sister's reminder, Qin Luo went to the main hall, sat down at the table, and began drawing door gods.
...
Tang Yao moved the bodies of Yang Chang and Zhao Hu to Jinyang City and ordered the government to send people to the Imperial Observatory.
Before leaving, Tang Yao wanted to thank Qin Luo. She flew to Longhu Temple on her sword and saw the bustling crowd. She knew that Qin Luo was very busy and didn't have time.
"Qin Luo".
"See you again someday!"
Tang Yao flew away on her sword.
......
Qin Luo and his group were busy from dawn till dusk. People came in droves to buy door god portraits, and many others came to offer incense and pray for blessings, many of whom had come from afar from Jinyang City.
As the sun set, the Taoist temple finally quieted down. Zhang Fulong, supporting his back and looking exhausted, remarked, "Making money is really not easy."
"Counting money isn't easy either."
Ziyue was counting copper coins, but because there were so many, she kept making mistakes.
Zhang Fulong never expected that such inexpensive door god portraits could actually liven up the Longhu Temple.
He coughed, clenching his fist. "Ziyue, you have so much money, you'll be responsible for the temple's expenses from now on."
"All right."
Ziyue nodded in agreement.
The key point is that I've never seen Master spend any money.
Qin Luo stood outside the Taoist temple, watching the last pilgrim of the day descend the mountain. The sunset painted the mountains red, and the fiery clouds on the horizon resembled a phoenix rising from the ashes.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's nearing dusk.
Wu Xuantian stepped out of the door god image. His originally illusory body became solid, and his divine power was significantly stronger. This was thanks to Qin Luo. In the past two days, more and more people had been putting up door gods, and he had absorbed a large amount of incense power.
"Old Wu, are you getting used to it?"
"It's quite interesting that the gate to the human world is bustling with people, compared to the desolation of the Heavenly Gate."
Qin Luo found it very interesting to interact with all sorts of people at Longhu Temple.
"Old Wu, if you feel lonely, I'll help you find a goddess in the future, so you can have one on each side and keep each other company," Qin Luo joked with a smile.
Wu Xuantian couldn't help but chuckle. "Thank you for your kindness, Master Qin. I am not interested in goddesses. However, I would be willing to accept a goddess as a companion."
"Hahaha."
...
The backyard of the Taoist temple.
After a busy day, Ziyue finally had time to eat. She held her bowl of porridge and ate the pickled vegetables she brought from home, her little face beaming with happiness.
