The middle-aged woman immediately bought the best incense and candles, offered incense and prayed for blessings, and then put some loose silver into the donation box.

No sooner had they left than people from Baiyun Town came to the Taoist temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.

Yesterday, Qin Luo displayed his extraordinary abilities on the street and even saved the unconscious Zhao Fugui. After this news spread, the people of Baiyun Town all wanted to come to Longhu Temple to pray for blessings.

In the past, when people came to Longhu Temple to pray for blessings, many would turn back when they heard the price of incense. This time, however, the people who came to the temple asked for the best incense and candles and brought a lot of offerings. They now believe that Longhu Temple is protected by the Taoist ancestor.

Zhang Fulong was sleeping in a room deep inside the Taoist temple when he smelled a strong odor of smoke. Thinking the temple had burned down, he rushed out, only to realize that it was the smell of incense from the temple.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Fulong was complaining last night about the lack of worshippers at Longhu Temple, but after sleeping, he was surprised to find that the temple was bustling with worshippers. He hadn't seen such a scene in a long time.

He passed by the backyard.

I saw that Ziyue was still drinking porridge.

Zhang Fulong coughed, clenching his fist and putting it to his mouth. "Ziyue, it's getting late. Why are you still drinking porridge?"

"I......"

Ziyue had only taken a couple of sips when she quickly put down her bowl. "Master, I'll go get to work right away."

Zhang Fulong arrived at the front yard.

The people who came to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings no longer surrounded Qin Luo; instead, they bowed to Zhang Fulong, saying, "Greetings, Immortal Master Zhang!"

They believed that Zhang Fulong was more skilled in Taoism.

The tall, thin young man rubbed his hands together. "Master Zhang, I've been having a run of bad luck lately. Nothing I do goes right, and I keep losing at gambling. Do you have any ways to change my luck?"

Zhang Fulong pointed to the donation box and said, "Let the Dao Ancestor see your sincerity. If you are sincere, you will have good fortune."

The tall, thin young man approached the donation box, deciding to take another gamble and offer up his entire fortune. "God of Tao, if you can change my luck, I will definitely come back to pay my respects to you in the future."

Many people followed suit and put money into the donation box.

“Immortal Master, Immortal Master, this is my son. Do you think he has the aptitude for cultivation?” A middle-aged man in brocade robes led a chubby child to Zhang Fulong.

Zhang Fulong frowned. This chubby boy looked like he could eat a lot. He shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that he has no chance with Longhu Temple."

Ziyue was sweeping the floor when she overheard their conversation. She was surprised that even wealthy people couldn't become disciples of the Dragon Tiger Temple. She raised her head and felt motivated to continue her work.

Zhang Fulong used to take in disciples from wealthy families, but these disciples were lazy, disobedient, and ran away from Longhu Temple after only a short time. Some even stole valuable antique furniture from the temple and spread rumors about it, causing the temple's popularity to decline. Now, he is more careful when accepting disciples and will not accept those who cannot endure hardship.

"Master Zhang, I apologize for disturbing you."

The middle-aged man in brocade shook his head helplessly.

Incense burned continuously in the Taoist temple, Zhang Fulong answered everyone's questions, and Qin Luo and Zi Yue were busy from dawn till dusk.

evening.

The Taoist temple returned to its quiet state.

Just as Qin Luo was about to close the Taoist temple gate, a loud voice came from outside, "Immortal Master, wait a moment."

Wang Meng carried two wild rabbits to the Taoist temple. "Immortal Master, thank you for the talisman you gave me, which kept me away from evil spirits. These are the wild rabbits I just caught. Please accept them."

"Need not."

"Take it home and eat it yourself."

“Master, if I take the rabbit back, my wife will definitely say I’m being unreasonable.”

"Keep one."

"Okay, okay."

Wang Meng kept the fatter wild rabbits.

Qin Luo carried the wild rabbit back to the backyard. Zi Yue was eating the porridge she hadn't finished in the morning. She opened her eyes wide with excitement, "Wow, what an adorable rabbit! It must smell delicious when braised."

"Junior sister, the Taoist temple doesn't have any braising seasonings. If you want to eat it, your senior brother will make you a roasted rabbit."

"OK."

Zi Yue swallowed hard.

She wouldn't even drink the porridge in the bowl.

The Longhu Temple was quiet and deserted at night. Qin Luo sat in the courtyard reading a book, mainly to keep his junior sister company.

"Senior brother, can you take me with you when you go down the mountain in the future? I'll do whatever you say."

"OK."

Qin Luo smiled and agreed.
