Here, Li Shu was lying on the bed with her legs crossed, watching videos leisurely. Little Coal Ball was lying on her side next to her and had fallen asleep.
She slid her finger up the screen and was about to scroll to the next message when a WeChat message window suddenly popped up above.
Seeing this, Li Shu clicked on it and found it was a message from Qin Can, asking her if she had slept yet.
Li Shu turned over and typed a reply: [Not yet, what happened again? ]
Qin Can: [Master, I just had a dream. I dreamt of the Grand Master, who looked exactly like the portrait you gave me. He said thank you for my hard work in helping you rebuild Qingfeng Temple, then he touched my head and disappeared. The Grand Master also called you Little Li Li...]
Li Shu looked at the message sent by Qin Can, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Little Li Li", indeed only her master would call her that. Did her master send this message to Qin Can in a dream?
【That's all, isn't it?】
Qin Can: [Also, when the Grandmaster touched my head, I felt something flowing into my body, like a warm current filling my limbs. After waking up, my body seemed to have become lighter. I don’t know if it was just my imagination...]
Li Shu's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly. Looking at Qin Can's description, it seemed as if she had been injected with spiritual power.
[Is it convenient for you to video chat now? I want to see you. ]
Qin Can: [Master, please call me if it's convenient.]
Li Shu sat up from the bed, leaned against the headboard, and then made a video call to Qin Can.
The next second, the video was connected and Qin Can's face appeared on the phone screen.
"Master."
Li Shu nodded slightly, her eyes falling on his face, and she found that he indeed had a lot of spiritual power in his body. "Your ancestor really likes you. He even sent you spiritual power through dreams."
Qin Can was slightly stunned when he heard this, then came to his senses, his brows filled with disbelief, "Spiritual power!"
"If you have spiritual power, it will be easier for you to practice Taoism." Li Shu said gently, "You will also be more adept at drawing talismans, and the effects of the talismans will be enhanced."
Qin Can now had to believe that the Grandmaster really loved him and even sent him spiritual power in his dreams. He said with joy, "Master, the Grandmaster is so good to me!"
Li Shu curled the corners of her lips and replied, "Indeed."
"I will burn more incense for the ancestor tomorrow." Qin Can said excitedly.
He paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Master, has Junior Brother Lin Yan ever worshipped the ancestor?"
Li Shu yawned, looking a little tired. "Not yet. He's still in school. It won't be too late to do these things after he graduates."
Qin Can thought for a moment and said, "How about I invite him to my house tomorrow to burn some incense for the ancestors?"
Li Shu hummed softly, "It's all right, you decide."
Qin Can nodded, realizing that the girl was sleepy, and then said, "Master, you should get some rest early. I'll hang up first."
"Okay." Li Shu said, "You should go to bed early too."
"Yeah!" Qin Can said with a smile.
———
The next morning.
Qin Can woke up and washed up. He first burned incense and bowed to the ancestor, talked to himself in front of the portrait, and then sent a message to Lin Yan with his mobile phone.
Since the two of them added each other as WeChat friends, they have been chatting almost every day. They get along very well and have endless topics to talk about.
So Qin Can now treats him as his own brother in his heart. From time to time, he transfers some money to him so that he can eat and drink well in school and not let himself be wronged.
The relationship between the two is very good now.
[Junior brother, good morning. Are you free to come to my house today and burn incense for our ancestor?]
Lin Yan called directly, "Good morning, Senior Brother. I just woke up and received your message. Speaking of which, we still have the Grandmaster?"
Qin Can walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took out a bottle of mineral water. "Of course there is, and the ancestor sometimes appears."
"Ah, a spiritual manifestation?" Lin Yan naturally thought that the ancestor had died when Qin Can mentioned burning incense. "The ancestor hasn't been reincarnated?"
Qin Can sat down on the sofa in the living room. The corner of his mouth twitched when he heard this. "What reincarnation? The ancestor has completed his merits and ascended to heaven. He is now a god!"
Lin Yan's brows were filled with shock, and he exclaimed in amazement: "Oh my god, so awesome! You're a god, Senior Brother!"
Qin Can tilted his head, tucked his phone between his shoulder and ear, and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle in his hand. "Of course, you're free to come over?"
"Yes, I'll be here soon!" Lin Yan said excitedly, "Brother, if I come here to burn incense for the ancestor, will he show up?"
Qin Can took the phone back in his hand and held it, "I don't know about that either. It depends on the mood of the Grandmaster."
"Then, senior brother, why did the ancestor appear to you for the first time?" Lin Yan asked curiously.
Qin Can raised his head and drank two sips of water to moisten his throat, then he narrated, "It was the first time I drew a talisman in front of the portrait of our ancestor. I held the pen and tried to draw, but it felt like someone was holding my arm back. Even if I tried my best, the tip of the pen wouldn't touch the talisman paper..."
"And then, and then!"
"Then I tried typing several times and it kept coming back the same. I thought I was seeing a ghost, so I immediately called my master. After he came to my house and took a look, he said it was the spirit of the ancestor. Later, I went with the master to buy an incense burner and incense. After I offered the incense to the ancestor, he accepted me."
After hearing what Qin Can said, Lin Yan couldn't help but worry about himself, "Brother, tell me, when I go over there later, will the Grand Master disapprove of me when he sees me?"
Qin Can drank two more sips of water and said, "No, you are the disciple accepted by the master himself. How could the master not recognize you?"
Lin Yan scratched his hair, "But, Senior Brother, weren't you also my sister's personal disciple? Didn't the Grandmaster also not recognize you at the beginning?"
"Um... you're right." Qin Can put the mineral water bottle in his hand on the coffee table. "Well, then you can do the same as me. When you burn incense to the ancestor later, say something nice. That way, the ancestor will definitely approve of you. This is also the method that Master told me."
Lin Yan nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Brother, please send me your home address. I'll get up, wash up and come over."
"Ok, I'll send it to you later." Qin Can said.
"By the way, senior brother, have you had breakfast?" Lin Yan asked.
Qin Can leaned back on the sofa and looked up at the portrait of the ancestor hanging above his head. "No, I just got up too."
"Oh, then I'll stop by my noodle shop and grab two servings of noodles." Lin Yan asked, "Brother, do you want soup noodles, dry noodles, or wonton noodles?"
Qin Can was indeed a little hungry. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then let's have noodle soup."
"Okay, I got it. I'll hang up first." Lin Yan said.
Qin Can hummed, "Okay, bye."
