After the results came out, Li Le just remained silent. He actually figured out that he had to keep a low profile. No, he was going to be very high profile when he came out?
He came to Yangzhou on serious business. He just accepted an apprentice, made friends with Taoist Master Yun, watched a play, and did not do anything else.
What's so high-profile about it?
And the bloody disaster...
Has his fortune-telling skill become so ineffective that he can make mistakes even with the simplest calculations?
Li Le just sat by the window, a cool breeze blew on his face, and his heart was chilled along with the wind.
Started to doubt life.
What went wrong, or was he really being too high-profile when he went out? Was he instructing someone to report to the Chongxuan Office? Was the person who was making things difficult for him already secretly observing him?
Want to kill him secretly?
Li Le just frowned in confusion. Although he didn't really believe in the result of his own calculation, he would not be so stubborn as to use his own life to test whether the divination he had made was correct or not.
Since you have calculated that you should keep a low profile, then keep a low profile.
After Li Le made the decision, he lay in bed, unable to fall asleep anyway. He was still thinking about the days he had spent in Yangzhou and how he had been so high-profile.
If I don't find it out, I won't be able to sleep well.
The moon gradually sank to the west, and Li Lezhi gradually fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already the next day.
Li Le thought about it for only one night and decided that no matter what incident had caused him to become so high-profile, he would stay in the Taoist temple and not go out for the next few days, so that no trouble would come knocking on his door.
After figuring it out, Li Le felt relieved, as if the mountain pressing on his heart had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This change made Li Le more certain that the decision he made was right.
In this way, during his time on the boat, he would at most sit on the deck and fish. Except for the five-jin herring he caught that night, the rest of the fish he caught were small fish, not enough for three people to eat.
However, Li Lezhi did not let it go. The small fish can be fried until both sides are golden brown. It tastes crispy and has a different taste from big fish. It is also a delicacy.
Seven days later.
Li Le only got off the boat, so he is very down to earth.
After arriving in Da'an, standing on the ferry and looking at the boats behind him, Li Lezhi thought of the Wu family. He had previously borrowed the Wu family's boat to go to Yangzhou, and he had not yet repaid the favor. He wanted to find a good Chinese medicine doctor for them. Li Lezhi did some calculations and figured out the address of the good Chinese medicine doctor.
Then he spent a few cents and sent a child to deliver the letter for him. It was an easy job, even if it was just delivering letters for the Wu family, many children were willing to do it.
After resolving this matter, the gratitude between him and the Wu family was severed, and Li Lezhi was relieved.
He returned to Miaodao Temple with his two disciples.
Along the way, Li Le only told Qian Xi the truth and said hello, because his Taoist temple was really shabby and small compared to Qingyun Temple, and it would take some time to improve it.
His Taoist temple could earn ten cents a day from incense donations, which was a remarkable amount.
Qian Xi smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I'm ready."
He followed Li Le to Da'an County only for his master, not for Miaodao Temple. As for the simple conditions and small size of Miaodao Temple, these were not a problem for him.
This time when he came to Da'an County, he brought some servants with him, and also brought a lot of silver and money. With these personal belongings, he could also help his master repair the Taoist temple.
Li Le felt relieved when he saw that he understood.
After returning to Miaodao Temple, the temple was already dusty because he had been away for more than half a month. When Li Le was about to clean it, he was stopped by Qian Xi.
Qian Xi said: "Master, wait a minute, someone will be here soon."
Because the path leading to the Taoist temple was rather narrow, the carriage could not go up the mountain, but this did not prevent Qian Xi's servants from hiring some people to carry the things up one by one.
Li Le only waited for a while, and then he saw mountains of things piled up outside the Taoist temple. Many of them were packed in boxes, and he didn't know what was inside.
Li Le paused for a moment before he said, "Disciple, there are too many things. The temple won't be able to store them all."
Not only could he not put them down, Li Lezhi also had to worry about public security issues. With so many things piled up in his poor Taoist temple, they might be targeted by thieves. With only him and his apprentice...
Could this be the bloody disaster he calculated?
Li Le just began to doubt.
But the things had already arrived at the door, and it would be troublesome to move them back, so they let the Qian family's servants carry all the things into the backyard. When the rest of the people saw the Taoist temple, they looked at each other and asked Li Lezhi.
"Master, can we go in and burn some incense?"
They had heard that there was a temple in the county and that the Taoist priest there was very effective, but they didn't know which temple it was. Besides, they, the porters, had to find work in the city and didn't have time to leave the city to burn incense at the Taoist temple.
This time I happened to arrive at the entrance of the Taoist temple. It would be rare to encounter such a good opportunity next time, so I asked and lit a stick of incense to pray for safety.
"OK."
Li Lezhi was of course willing. After the people entered the Taoist temple, he handed incense to them. More than a dozen incense sticks were placed upright in the incense burner. Curls of smoke rose, and the lonely Taoist temple was also filled with the scent of incense.
After sending the person away and paying the money.
Li Le only walked to the backyard, where there were only two side rooms, one for Qianxi and one for Mingli. Fortunately, the construction of the side rooms was contracted by Mr. Gao, and he did not build them very small, otherwise, Qianxi's belongings would not have fit in.
What Li Lezhi didn't expect was that his apprentice not only improved his own living environment, but also improved his. Although it still looked simple and plain from the outside, the inside was very different, and it was completely different from before. The things used had been replaced with better quality ones.
Li Le thought that was the end, and then he watched as the Qian family replaced the things in his eldest disciple Gao Mingli's room with Mingli's consent.
Li Lezhi and Gao Mingli looked at each other. Needless to say, Li Lezhi could clearly see the shock in Gao Mingli's eyes.
As for him, although he was a little surprised, he still had to hide it well in front of his apprentice.
Gao Mingli walked to the side of Li Lezhi and whispered, "Master, you have invited back a God of Wealth."
Junior brother is so rich.
Even Gao Mingli, whose family was in business, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw Qian Xi's generosity.
It’s like one person is responsible for the whole family!
Li Le just gave Gao Mingli a look, without saying anything else, and he agreed in his heart that it was indeed the God of Wealth who came. However, saying "God of Wealth" didn't seem very accurate. Was it too late for him to cling to his apprentice and live a life of idleness and waiting for death?
After Qian Xi's renovation, the Taoist temple is no longer the same as before, except for one thing: the scale of the temple has not changed, and the backyard can only accommodate the three of them, the master and his disciples. If they want to accommodate Qian Xi's servants, the entire temple needs to be expanded. Building such a Taoist temple requires a lot of money, and it would be too immoral for Qian Xi to pay for it all alone. He would be no different from a vampire sucking blood from Qian Xi.
He had to find a way to make money...
Bald head.
Li Le only pulled Qian Xi aside and asked, "The Taoist temple is too small, can you arrange for them?"
Qian Xi lowered his voice and said, "Master, don't worry, they will return to Yangzhou after everything is packed up."
Li Le just looked at Qian Xi in shock and suppressed the question he wanted to ask Qian Xi. So what if Qian Xi said no? His Taoist temple couldn't accommodate anyone. He couldn't let people sleep on the floor, that would be too torturous.
Li Le just replied with one word "OK".
His disciple had to endure a lot of hardships following him to Da'an.
Fortunately, Qian Xi does not have the young master's problem and can take care of himself. Otherwise, he would need someone to help him dress, and Li Lezhi would not know what to do. He could not do it himself.
Nowadays, we still have to make money.
While Li Lezhi was cooking in the evening, he was still thinking about how to make money without being too conspicuous. He had not forgotten the result of the divination he had calculated.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
Li Le just looked towards the place where the sound came from. Thinking of the belongings that were sent to him during the day, he was cautious. He called his two apprentices and asked Qian Xi and Gao Mingli to take weapons. If there was anything wrong, they could use the sticks to beat them out.
Qian Xi and Gao Mingli also heard the noise outside. They nodded, looked at each other, and tightly grasped the wooden sticks in their hands and walked to the door cautiously.
They unbolted the door and carefully opened it a crack. They hid wooden sticks behind them, and if the people outside were not doing right, they would swing them violently.
"I am a Taoist priest passing by, and I would like to stay at your temple for one night. Can you please give me some convenience?"
In the dim and gloomy sky, Gao Mingli could see clearly that the person outside was indeed a Taoist priest. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a yellow gourd hanging around his waist and a small satchel on his back, which was bulging with something unknown.
He frowned and was about to swing his stick to hit him when he heard Qian Xi whispered, "Is that Taoist Zhang?"
Gao Mingli looked at Qian Xi in confusion, asking him what he meant and whether he knew the Taoist in front of him.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yuanming was standing outside the Taoist temple. Hearing the familiar voice, he asked with a suspicious look on his face, "Qian Xi?"
This is the Miaodao Temple he is looking for, not his Qingyun Temple. How could he hear Qian Xi's voice here? Is he dreaming? He came to the Miaodao Temple in the dream, but the scenery in front of him is too detailed, not at all like the blurry scenery in the dream.
What is going on?
Hearing Taoist Priest Zhang's doubts, Qian Xi touched his nose and felt awkward for a moment. Only Taoist Priest Yun knew that he had changed his mind to Miaodao Temple, but Taoist Priest Zhang didn't know yet.
Perhaps, Taoist Zhang has not yet received the letter from Taoist Yun.
Qian Xi also noticed Gao Mingli's confusion, so he whispered, "It's Taoist Priest Zhang from Qingyun Temple."
There are only two Taoist priests in Qingyun Temple, one is Yun Zhuliu, and the other one is very clear, he is Yun Zhuliu’s master - Zhang Yuanming.
It is the Taoist in front of him.
Gao Mingli opened his mouth in surprise, and immediately snatched the stick from Qian Xi's hand, and hid it in the corner together with his to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstanding.
But he couldn't help but be curious about how Taoist Zhang from Qingyun Temple came here.
Gao Mingli didn't stop at all. He ran into the kitchen and told Li Lezhi about this matter.
Li Le was very surprised when he learned that it was the Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple or Taoist priest Yun’s master who came.
"You go out and entertain the guests first, and wait for me to cook two more dishes."
Before, there were only three of them eating, so three plates of stir-fried dishes were enough. Now, a Taoist priest has come, and since guests are guests, it is inevitable to prepare a few more dishes.
After he finished cooking, he brought it to the table outside and saw with his own eyes what Taoist Priest Zhang looked like. He was a senior who was the same age as his teacher.
This made Li Le feel a little restrained.
Unexpectedly, the old senior also had the same temper as an old naughty boy. When he saw him carrying the dishes, he did not put on airs of an elder. He greeted him as if he had met an old friend who he had not seen for many years, saying: "Master Li is really a handsome man. There are not many Taoist priests who are as handsome as you."
"...You're too kind. I look very ordinary, no different from others."
Gao Mingli was holding the bowl and chopsticks, and when he heard this, he paused. He looked at his master's back with complicated eyes. There was a feeling lingering in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.
I always feel that his master's words make him a little...
What a sin! How could he even think of hitting his master? He acts too much like a bad disciple.
Just think that the master is being humble. The master looks ordinary, and there are not many good-looking people in this world.
Taoist Zhang was also choked up, but the purpose of his coming here was not specifically to praise Li Lezhi, so he did not dwell on this matter. He picked up the dishes on the plate, ready to eat and chat. As soon as the dishes entered his mouth, Zhang Yuanming's eyes suddenly lit up, and his hands picked up the dishes faster.
Seeing him like this, Gao Mingli called out to Qian Xi, daring him to eat quickly.
After the three of them wolfed down the meal and Li Le finished it slowly, Qian Xi and Gao Mingli consciously cleaned up the dishes and left room for the master and Taoist Zhang.
Taoist Zhang touched his full stomach and his opinion of Li Le changed. He originally thought that the young man in front of him was a swindler who relied on his appearance to cheat people and even deceived his lay disciples from Qingyun Temple.
Unexpectedly, this young man has some skills. At least he can cook delicious food. Well, as long as he sincerely repents and doesn't go out to cheat others, he won't care too much about him.
If he is willing to practice, he can also accept him as his own, so that the food problem in the Taoist temple will be solved in the future.
Taoist Priest Zhang said, "I came here from Qingzhou this time. Do you know what happened in Qingzhou recently?"
ah?
When asked, Li Le looked confused, shook his head and smiled, "I don't know."
As for people who have a connection with Qingzhou, he has only met one person during this period of time. He doesn't know if it was Gongsun Miaoran or Sun Miaoran's wealthy son. Could it be that Taoist Zhang came to him because of Sun Miaoran's matter?
He did calculate that Sun Miaoran was related to water that day, and the result was also puzzling.
But it won’t be to the point where other Taoist priests will come looking for you, right?
It can’t be…
Something happened?
"You don't know?" Taoist Zhang frowned. A Taoist fortune teller in Qingzhou predicted that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, and the news had spread among the Taoist temples in Qingzhou. However, in order to avoid panic among the people, the people did not know the reason for the relocation.
Zhang Yuanming also heard about this incident when he was traveling in Qingzhou. He heard that the governor of Qingzhou was very convinced by the Taoist's words and determined that Qingzhou would definitely suffer a flood. How could an unknown Taoist priest predict such a major event?
The Taoists from the Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces had not anticipated that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, but they also knew that what the governor had decided could not be changed by their words.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but the Qingzhou governor Gongsun Zhuoran was a stubborn person who would never change his mind. Moreover, if a flood really came, the governor's action could save many people. If not, the responsibility would be borne by the governor alone.
Therefore, Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces did not care about the matter because they could not figure it out.
Just then Crazy Zhang came to visit, so Sangong entrusted the matter to Crazy Zhang, also known as Zhang Yuanming, and asked him to go there.
In addition, it is rumored that the Taoist priest is from Yangzhou, and Zhang Yuanming is the person in charge of Yangzhou, so it is most appropriate to hand this matter over to him.
Zhang Yuanming inquired along the way and came to Da'an County. He originally wanted to return to Yangzhou to ask his apprentice if he had heard anything about Taoist Li recently. Unexpectedly, he heard about the deeds of a Taoist named Li in Da'an County. People also called him Li Banxian.
Zhang Yuanming's intuition told him that he had found the person.
With the guidance of others, he found Miaodao Mountain and came to Miaodao Temple. He wanted to ask for clarification and also to test whether the rumored Li Banxian had the ability to deserve the title of Half-Immortal.
Although he was a little surprised to see Qian Xi in Miaodao Temple, he would not forget the purpose of his visit just because of Qian Xi and this person's excellent cooking skills.
Taoist Zhang looked at Li Lezhi very seriously.
Li Le only said: "I remember that a few days ago, someone came to me for fortune-telling. I was trying to tell whether he had a disaster in his life. I told him that he would be able to get through it safely. Did something happen to him?"

After the results came out, Li Le just remained silent. He actually figured out that he had to keep a low profile. No, he was going to be very high profile when he came out?
He came to Yangzhou on serious business. He just accepted an apprentice, made friends with Taoist Master Yun, watched a play, and did not do anything else.
What's so high-profile about it?
And the bloody disaster...
Has his fortune-telling skill become so ineffective that he can make mistakes even with the simplest calculations?
Li Le just sat by the window, a cool breeze blew on his face, and his heart was chilled along with the wind.
Started to doubt life.
What went wrong, or was he really being too high-profile when he went out? Was he instructing someone to report to the Chongxuan Office? Was the person who was making things difficult for him already secretly observing him?
Want to kill him secretly?
Li Le just frowned in confusion. Although he didn't really believe in the result of his own calculation, he would not be so stubborn as to use his own life to test whether the divination he had made was correct or not.

The moon gradually sank to the west, and Li Lezhi gradually fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already the next day.

This change made Li Le more certain that the decision he made was right.
In this way, during his time on the boat, he would at most sit on the deck and fish. Except for the five-jin herring he caught that night, the rest of the fish he caught were small fish, not enough for three people to eat.
However, Li Lezhi did not let it go. The small fish can be fried until both sides are golden brown. It tastes crispy and has a different taste from big fish. It is also a delicacy.

If they want to accommodate Qian Xi's servants, the entire temple needs to be expanded.

It can’t be…
Something happened?
"You don't know?" Taoist Zhang frowned. A Taoist fortune teller in Qingzhou predicted that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, and the news had spread among the Taoist temples in Qingzhou. However, in order to avoid panic among the people, the people did not know the reason for the relocation.
Zhang Yuanming also heard about this incident when he was traveling in Qingzhou. He heard that the governor of Qingzhou was very convinced by the Taoist's words and determined that Qingzhou would definitely suffer a flood. How could an unknown Taoist priest predict such a major event?
The Taoists from the Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces had not anticipated that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, but they also knew that what the governor had decided could not be changed by their words.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but the Qingzhou governor Gongsun Zhuoran was a stubborn person who would never change his mind. Moreover, if a flood really came, the governor's action could save many people. If not, the responsibility would be borne by the governor alone.
Therefore, Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces did not care about the matter because they could not figure it out.
Just then Crazy Zhang came to visit, so Sangong entrusted the matter to Crazy Zhang, also known as Zhang Yuanming, and asked him to go there.
In addition, it is rumored that the Taoist priest is from Yangzhou, and Zhang Yuanming is the person in charge of Yangzhou, so it is most appropriate to hand this matter over to him.
Zhang Yuanming inquired along the way and came to Da'an County. He originally wanted to return to Yangzhou to ask his apprentice if he had heard anything about Taoist Li recently. Unexpectedly, he heard about the deeds of a Taoist named Li in Da'an County. People also called him Li Banxian.
Zhang Yuanming's intuition told him that he had found the person.
With the guidance of others, he found Miaodao Mountain and came to Miaodao Temple. He wanted to ask for clarification and also to test whether the rumored Li Banxian had the ability to deserve the title of Half-Immortal.
Although he was a little surprised to see Qian Xi in Miaodao Temple, he would not forget the purpose of his visit just because of Qian Xi and this person's excellent cooking skills.
Taoist Zhang looked at Li Lezhi very seriously.
Li Le only said: "I remember that a few days ago, someone came to me for fortune-telling. I was trying to tell whether he had a disaster in his life. I told him that he would be able to get through it safely. Did something happen to him?"

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The result is ◢. ?. ?◢?,
He actually figured out that he had to keep a low profile?
no?,
He came out and was very high-profile?
He came to Yangzhou to do serious business, but he only accepted a disciple and made friends with Taoist Master Yun?
I watched a play by the way and didn't do anything else.
What's so high-profile about it?
And the bloody disaster...
Has his fortune-telling skill become so ineffective that he can make mistakes even with the simplest calculations?
Li Le just sat by the window, a cool breeze blew on his face, and his heart was chilled along with the wind.
Started to doubt life.
What went wrong, or was he really being too high-profile when he went out? Was he instructing someone to report to the Chongxuan Office? Was the person who was making things difficult for him already secretly observing him?
Want to kill him secretly?
Li Le just frowned in confusion. Although he didn't really believe in the result of his own calculation, he would not be so stubborn as to use his own life to test whether the divination he had made was correct or not.
Since you have calculated that you should keep a low profile, then keep a low profile.
After Li Le made the decision, he lay in bed, unable to fall asleep anyway. He was still thinking about the days he had spent in Yangzhou and how he had been so high-profile.
If I don't find it out, I won't be able to sleep well.
The moon gradually sank to the west, and Li Lezhi gradually fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already the next day.
Li Le thought about it for only one night and decided that no matter what incident had caused him to become so high-profile, he would stay in the Taoist temple and not go out for the next few days, so that no trouble would come knocking on his door.
After figuring it out, Li Le felt relieved, as if the mountain pressing on his heart had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This change made Li Le more certain that the decision he made was right.
In this way, during his time on the boat, he would at most sit on the deck and fish. Except for the five-jin herring he caught that night, the rest of the fish he caught were small fish, not enough for three people to eat.
However, Li Lezhi did not let it go. The small fish can be fried until both sides are golden brown. It tastes crispy and has a different taste from big fish. It is also a delicacy.
Seven days later.
Li Le only got off the boat, so he is very down to earth.
After arriving in Da'an, standing on the ferry and looking at the boats behind him, Li Lezhi thought of the Wu family. He had previously borrowed the Wu family's boat to go to Yangzhou, and he had not yet repaid the favor. He wanted to find a good Chinese medicine doctor for them. Li Lezhi did some calculations and figured out the address of the good Chinese medicine doctor.
Then he spent a few cents and sent a child to deliver the letter for him. It was an easy job, even if it was just delivering letters for the Wu family, many children were willing to do it.
After resolving this matter, the gratitude between him and the Wu family was severed, and Li Lezhi was relieved.
He returned to Miaodao Temple with his two disciples.
Along the way, Li Le only told Qian Xi the truth and said hello, because his Taoist temple was really shabby and small compared to Qingyun Temple, and it would take some time to improve it.
His Taoist temple could earn ten cents a day from incense donations, which was a remarkable amount.
Qian Xi smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I'm ready."
He followed Li Le to Da'an County only for his master, not for Miaodao Temple. As for the simple conditions and small size of Miaodao Temple, these were not a problem for him.
This time when he came to Da'an County, he brought some servants with him, and also brought a lot of silver and money. With these personal belongings, he could also help his master repair the Taoist temple.
Li Le felt relieved when he saw that he understood.
After returning to Miaodao Temple, the temple was already dusty because he had been away for more than half a month. When Li Le was about to clean it, he was stopped by Qian Xi.
Qian Xi said: "Master, wait a minute, someone will be here soon."
Because the path leading to the Taoist temple was rather narrow, the carriage could not go up the mountain, but this did not prevent Qian Xi's servants from hiring some people to carry the things up one by one.
Li Le only waited for a while, and then he saw mountains of things piled up outside the Taoist temple. Many of them were packed in boxes, and he didn't know what was inside.
Li Le paused for a moment before he said, "Disciple, there are too many things. The temple won't be able to store them all."
Not only could he not put them down, Li Lezhi also had to worry about public security issues. With so many things piled up in his poor Taoist temple, they might be targeted by thieves. With only him and his apprentice...
Could this be the bloody disaster he calculated?
Li Le just began to doubt.
But the things had already arrived at the door, and it would be troublesome to move them back, so they let the Qian family's servants carry all the things into the backyard. When the rest of the people saw the Taoist temple, they looked at each other and asked Li Lezhi.
"Master, can we go in and burn some incense?"
They had heard that there was a temple in the county and that the Taoist priest there was very effective, but they didn't know which temple it was. Besides, they, the porters, had to find work in the city and didn't have time to leave the city to burn incense at the Taoist temple.
This time I happened to arrive at the entrance of the Taoist temple. It would be rare to encounter such a good opportunity next time, so I asked and lit a stick of incense to pray for safety.
"OK."
Li Lezhi was of course willing. After the people entered the Taoist temple, he handed incense to them. More than a dozen incense sticks were placed upright in the incense burner. Curls of smoke rose, and the lonely Taoist temple was also filled with the scent of incense.
After sending the person away and paying the money.
Li Le only walked to the backyard, where there were only two side rooms, one for Qianxi and one for Mingli. Fortunately, the construction of the side rooms was contracted by Mr. Gao, and he did not build them very small, otherwise, Qianxi's belongings would not have fit in.
What Li Lezhi didn't expect was that his apprentice not only improved his own living environment, but also improved his. Although it still looked simple and plain from the outside, the inside was very different, and it was completely different from before. The things used had been replaced with better quality ones.
Li Le thought that was the end, and then he watched as the Qian family replaced the things in his eldest disciple Gao Mingli's room with Mingli's consent.
Li Lezhi and Gao Mingli looked at each other. Needless to say, Li Lezhi could clearly see the shock in Gao Mingli's eyes.
As for him, although he was a little surprised, he still had to hide it well in front of his apprentice.
Gao Mingli walked to the side of Li Lezhi and whispered, "Master, you have invited back a God of Wealth."
Junior brother is so rich.
Even Gao Mingli, whose family was in business, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw Qian Xi's generosity.
It’s like one person is responsible for the whole family!
Li Le just gave Gao Mingli a look, without saying anything else, and he agreed in his heart that it was indeed the God of Wealth who came. However, saying "God of Wealth" didn't seem very accurate. Was it too late for him to cling to his apprentice and live a life of idleness and waiting for death?
After Qian Xi's renovation, the Taoist temple is no longer the same as before, except for one thing: the scale of the temple has not changed, and the backyard can only accommodate the three of them, the master and his disciples. If they want to accommodate Qian Xi's servants, the entire temple needs to be expanded. Building such a Taoist temple requires a lot of money, and it would be too immoral for Qian Xi to pay for it all alone. He would be no different from a vampire sucking blood from Qian Xi.
He had to find a way to make money...
Bald head.
Li Le only pulled Qian Xi aside and asked, "The Taoist temple is too small, can you arrange for them?"
Qian Xi lowered his voice and said, "Master, don't worry, they will return to Yangzhou after everything is packed up."
Li Le just looked at Qian Xi in shock and suppressed the question he wanted to ask Qian Xi. So what if Qian Xi said no? His Taoist temple couldn't accommodate anyone. He couldn't let people sleep on the floor, that would be too torturous.
Li Le just replied with one word "OK".
His disciple had to endure a lot of hardships following him to Da'an.
Fortunately, Qian Xi does not have the young master's problem and can take care of himself. Otherwise, he would need someone to help him dress, and Li Lezhi would not know what to do. He could not do it himself.
Nowadays, we still have to make money.
While Li Lezhi was cooking in the evening, he was still thinking about how to make money without being too conspicuous. He had not forgotten the result of the divination he had calculated.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
Li Le just looked towards the place where the sound came from. Thinking of the belongings that were sent to him during the day, he was cautious. He called his two apprentices and asked Qian Xi and Gao Mingli to take weapons. If there was anything wrong, they could use the sticks to beat them out.
Qian Xi and Gao Mingli also heard the noise outside. They nodded, looked at each other, and tightly grasped the wooden sticks in their hands and walked to the door cautiously.
They unbolted the door and carefully opened it a crack. They hid wooden sticks behind them, and if the people outside were not doing right, they would swing them violently.
"I am a Taoist priest passing by, and I would like to stay at your temple for one night. Can you please give me some convenience?"
In the dim and gloomy sky, Gao Mingli could see clearly that the person outside was indeed a Taoist priest. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a yellow gourd hanging around his waist and a small satchel on his back, which was bulging with something unknown.
He frowned and was about to swing his stick to hit him when he heard Qian Xi whispered, "Is that Taoist Zhang?"
Gao Mingli looked at Qian Xi in confusion, asking him what he meant and whether he knew the Taoist in front of him.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yuanming was standing outside the Taoist temple. Hearing the familiar voice, he asked with a suspicious look on his face, "Qian Xi?"
This is the Miaodao Temple he is looking for, not his Qingyun Temple. How could he hear Qian Xi's voice here? Is he dreaming? He came to the Miaodao Temple in the dream, but the scenery in front of him is too detailed, not at all like the blurry scenery in the dream.
What is going on?
Hearing Taoist Priest Zhang's doubts, Qian Xi touched his nose and felt awkward for a moment. Only Taoist Priest Yun knew that he had changed his mind to Miaodao Temple, but Taoist Priest Zhang didn't know yet.
Perhaps, Taoist Zhang has not yet received the letter from Taoist Yun.
Qian Xi also noticed Gao Mingli's confusion, so he whispered, "It's Taoist Priest Zhang from Qingyun Temple."
There are only two Taoist priests in Qingyun Temple, one is Yun Zhuliu, and the other one is very clear, he is Yun Zhuliu’s master - Zhang Yuanming.
It is the Taoist in front of him.
Gao Mingli opened his mouth in surprise, and immediately snatched the stick from Qian Xi's hand, and hid it in the corner together with his to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstanding.
But he couldn't help but be curious about how Taoist Zhang from Qingyun Temple came here.
Gao Mingli didn't stop at all. He ran into the kitchen and told Li Lezhi about this matter.
Li Le was very surprised when he learned that it was the Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple or Taoist priest Yun’s master who came.
"You go out and entertain the guests first, and wait for me to cook two more dishes."
Before, there were only three of them eating, so three plates of stir-fried dishes were enough. Now, a Taoist priest has come, and since guests are guests, it is inevitable to prepare a few more dishes.
After he finished cooking, he brought it to the table outside and saw with his own eyes what Taoist Priest Zhang looked like. He was a senior who was the same age as his teacher.
This made Li Le feel a little restrained.
Unexpectedly, the old senior also had the same temper as an old naughty boy. When he saw him carrying the dishes, he did not put on airs of an elder. He greeted him as if he had met an old friend who he had not seen for many years, saying: "Master Li is really a handsome man. There are not many Taoist priests who are as handsome as you."
"...You're too kind. I look very ordinary, no different from others."
Gao Mingli was holding the bowl and chopsticks, and when he heard this, he paused. He looked at his master's back with complicated eyes. There was a feeling lingering in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.
I always feel that his master's words make him a little...
What a sin! How could he even think of hitting his master? He acts too much like a bad disciple.
Just think that the master is being humble. The master looks ordinary, and there are not many good-looking people in this world.
Taoist Zhang was also choked up, but the purpose of his coming here was not specifically to praise Li Lezhi, so he did not dwell on this matter. He picked up the dishes on the plate, ready to eat and chat. As soon as the dishes entered his mouth, Zhang Yuanming's eyes suddenly lit up, and his hands picked up the dishes faster.
Seeing him like this, Gao Mingli called out to Qian Xi, daring him to eat quickly.
After the three of them wolfed down the meal and Li Le finished it slowly, Qian Xi and Gao Mingli consciously cleaned up the dishes and left room for the master and Taoist Zhang.
Taoist Zhang touched his full stomach and his opinion of Li Le changed. He originally thought that the young man in front of him was a swindler who relied on his appearance to cheat people and even deceived his lay disciples from Qingyun Temple.
Unexpectedly, this young man has some skills. At least he can cook delicious food. Well, as long as he sincerely repents and doesn't go out to cheat others, he won't care too much about him.
If he is willing to practice, he can also accept him as his own, so that the food problem in the Taoist temple will be solved in the future.
Taoist Priest Zhang said, "I came here from Qingzhou this time. Do you know what happened in Qingzhou recently?"
ah?
When asked, Li Le looked confused, shook his head and smiled, "I don't know."
As for people who have a connection with Qingzhou, he has only met one person during this period of time. He doesn't know if it was Gongsun Miaoran or Sun Miaoran's wealthy son. Could it be that Taoist Zhang came to him because of Sun Miaoran's matter?
He did calculate that Sun Miaoran was related to water that day, and the result was also puzzling.
But it won’t be to the point where other Taoist priests will come looking for you, right?
It can’t be…
Something happened?
"You don't know?" Taoist Zhang frowned. A Taoist fortune teller in Qingzhou predicted that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, and the news had spread among the Taoist temples in Qingzhou. However, in order to avoid panic among the people, the people did not know the reason for the relocation.
Zhang Yuanming also heard about this incident when he was traveling in Qingzhou. He heard that the governor of Qingzhou was very convinced by the Taoist's words and determined that Qingzhou would definitely suffer a flood. How could an unknown Taoist priest predict such a major event?
The Taoists from the Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces had not anticipated that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, but they also knew that what the governor had decided could not be changed by their words.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but the Qingzhou governor Gongsun Zhuoran was a stubborn person who would never change his mind. Moreover, if a flood really came, the governor's action could save many people. If not, the responsibility would be borne by the governor alone.
Therefore, Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces did not care about the matter because they could not figure it out.
Just then Crazy Zhang came to visit, so Sangong entrusted the matter to Crazy Zhang, also known as Zhang Yuanming, and asked him to go there.
In addition, it is rumored that the Taoist priest is from Yangzhou, and Zhang Yuanming is the person in charge of Yangzhou, so it is most appropriate to hand this matter over to him.
Zhang Yuanming inquired along the way and came to Da'an County. He originally wanted to return to Yangzhou to ask his apprentice if he had heard anything about Taoist Li recently. Unexpectedly, he heard about the deeds of a Taoist named Li in Da'an County. People also called him Li Banxian.
Zhang Yuanming's intuition told him that he had found the person.
With the guidance of others, he found Miaodao Mountain and came to Miaodao Temple. He wanted to ask for clarification and also to test whether the rumored Li Banxian had the ability to deserve the title of Half-Immortal.
Although he was a little surprised to see Qian Xi in Miaodao Temple, he would not forget the purpose of his visit just because of Qian Xi and this person's excellent cooking skills.
Taoist Zhang looked at Li Lezhi very seriously.
Li Le only said: "I remember that a few days ago, someone came to me for fortune-telling. I was trying to tell whether he had a disaster in his life. I told him that he would be able to get through it safely. Did something happen to him?"

Although it still looked simple and plain from the outside, the inside was very different, and it was completely different from before. The things used had been replaced with better quality ones.

If they want to accommodate Qian Xi's servants, the entire temple needs to be expanded.

They unbolted the door and carefully opened it a crack. They hid wooden sticks behind them, and if the people outside were not doing right, they would swing them violently.
"I am a Taoist priest passing by, and I would like to stay at your temple for one night. Can you please give me some convenience?"
In the dim and gloomy sky, Gao Mingli could see clearly that the person outside was indeed a Taoist priest. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a yellow gourd hanging around his waist and a small satchel on his back, which was bulging with something unknown.
He frowned and was about to swing his stick to hit him when he heard Qian Xi whispered, "Is that Taoist Zhang?"
Gao Mingli looked at Qian Xi in confusion, asking him what he meant and whether he knew the Taoist in front of him.

"You go out and entertain the guests first, and wait for me to cook two more dishes."
Before, there were only three of them eating, so three plates of stir-fried dishes were enough. Now, a Taoist priest has come, and since guests are guests, it is inevitable to prepare a few more dishes.
After he finished cooking, he brought it to the table outside and saw with his own eyes what Taoist Priest Zhang looked like. He was a senior who was the same age as his teacher.
This made Li Le feel a little restrained.
Unexpectedly, the old senior also had the same temper as an old naughty boy. When he saw him carrying the dishes, he did not put on airs of an elder. He greeted him as if he had met an old friend who he had not seen for many years, saying: "Master Li is really a handsome man. There are not many Taoist priests who are as handsome as you."
"...You're too kind. I look very ordinary, no different from others."
Gao Mingli was holding the bowl and chopsticks, and when he heard this, he paused. He looked at his master's back with complicated eyes. There was a feeling lingering in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.
I always feel that his master's words make him a little...
What a sin! How could he even think of hitting his master? He acts too much like a bad disciple.
Just think that the master is being humble. The master looks ordinary, and there are not many good-looking people in this world.
Taoist Zhang was also choked up, but the purpose of his coming here was not specifically to praise Li Lezhi, so he did not dwell on this matter. He picked up the dishes on the plate, ready to eat and chat. As soon as the dishes entered his mouth, Zhang Yuanming's eyes suddenly lit up, and his hands picked up the dishes faster.
Seeing him like this, Gao Mingli called out to Qian Xi, daring him to eat quickly.
After the three of them wolfed down the meal and Li Le finished it slowly, Qian Xi and Gao Mingli consciously cleaned up the dishes and left room for the master and Taoist Zhang.
Taoist Zhang touched his full stomach and his opinion of Li Le changed. He originally thought that the young man in front of him was a swindler who relied on his appearance to cheat people and even deceived his lay disciples from Qingyun Temple.
Unexpectedly, this young man has some skills. At least he can cook delicious food. Well, as long as he sincerely repents and doesn't go out to cheat others, he won't care too much about him.
If he is willing to practice, he can also accept him as his own, so that the food problem in the Taoist temple will be solved in the future.
Taoist Priest Zhang said, "I came here from Qingzhou this time. Do you know what happened in Qingzhou recently?"
ah?
When asked, Li Le looked confused, shook his head and smiled, "I don't know."
As for people who have a connection with Qingzhou, he has only met one person during this period of time. He doesn't know if it was Gongsun Miaoran or Sun Miaoran's wealthy son. Could it be that Taoist Zhang came to him because of Sun Miaoran's matter?
He did calculate that Sun Miaoran was related to water that day, and the result was also puzzling.
But it won’t be to the point where other Taoist priests will come looking for you, right?
It can’t be…
Something happened?
"You don't know?" Taoist Zhang frowned. A Taoist fortune teller in Qingzhou predicted that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, and the news had spread among the Taoist temples in Qingzhou. However, in order to avoid panic among the people, the people did not know the reason for the relocation.
Zhang Yuanming also heard about this incident when he was traveling in Qingzhou. He heard that the governor of Qingzhou was very convinced by the Taoist's words and determined that Qingzhou would definitely suffer a flood. How could an unknown Taoist priest predict such a major event?
The Taoists from the Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces had not anticipated that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, but they also knew that what the governor had decided could not be changed by their words.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but the Qingzhou governor Gongsun Zhuoran was a stubborn person who would never change his mind. Moreover, if a flood really came, the governor's action could save many people. If not, the responsibility would be borne by the governor alone.
Therefore, Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces did not care about the matter because they could not figure it out.
Just then Crazy Zhang came to visit, so Sangong entrusted the matter to Crazy Zhang, also known as Zhang Yuanming, and asked him to go there.
In addition, it is rumored that the Taoist priest is from Yangzhou, and Zhang Yuanming is the person in charge of Yangzhou, so it is most appropriate to hand this matter over to him.
Zhang Yuanming inquired along the way and came to Da'an County. He originally wanted to return to Yangzhou to ask his apprentice if he had heard anything about Taoist Li recently. Unexpectedly, he heard about the deeds of a Taoist named Li in Da'an County. People also called him Li Banxian.
Zhang Yuanming's intuition told him that he had found the person.
With the guidance of others, he found Miaodao Mountain and came to Miaodao Temple. He wanted to ask for clarification and also to test whether the rumored Li Banxian had the ability to deserve the title of Half-Immortal.
Although he was a little surprised to see Qian Xi in Miaodao Temple, he would not forget the purpose of his visit just because of Qian Xi and this person's excellent cooking skills.
Taoist Zhang looked at Li Lezhi very seriously.
Li Le only said: "I remember that a few days ago, someone came to me for fortune-telling. I was trying to tell whether he had a disaster in his life. I told him that he would be able to get through it safely. Did something happen to him?"

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
After the result came out, Li Le just kept silent. He actually figured out that he had to keep a low profile. No, the domain name he provided was [(.)]+?+??
He came to Yangzhou to do serious business, but he only accepted a disciple, made friends with Taoist Master Yun, and watched a play, and did not do anything else. ?
Where is the high profile? ?
And the bloody disaster...?
Has his fortune-telling skill become so ineffective that he can make mistakes even with the simplest calculations?
Li Le just sat by the window, a cool breeze blew on his face, and his heart was chilled along with the wind.
Started to doubt life.
What went wrong, or was he really being too high-profile when he went out? Was he instructing someone to report to the Chongxuan Office? Was the person who was making things difficult for him already secretly observing him?
Want to kill him secretly?
Li Le just frowned in confusion. Although he didn't really believe in the result of his own calculation, he would not be so stubborn as to use his own life to test whether the divination he had made was correct or not.
Since you have calculated that you should keep a low profile, then keep a low profile.
After Li Le made the decision, he lay in bed, unable to fall asleep anyway. He was still thinking about the days he had spent in Yangzhou and how he had been so high-profile.
If I don't find it out, I won't be able to sleep well.
The moon gradually sank to the west, and Li Lezhi gradually fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already the next day.
Li Le thought about it for only one night and decided that no matter what incident had caused him to become so high-profile, he would stay in the Taoist temple and not go out for the next few days, so that no trouble would come knocking on his door.
After figuring it out, Li Le felt relieved, as if the mountain pressing on his heart had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This change made Li Le more certain that the decision he made was right.
In this way, during his time on the boat, he would at most sit on the deck and fish. Except for the five-jin herring he caught that night, the rest of the fish he caught were small fish, not enough for three people to eat.
However, Li Lezhi did not let it go. The small fish can be fried until both sides are golden brown. It tastes crispy and has a different taste from big fish. It is also a delicacy.
Seven days later.
Li Le only got off the boat, so he is very down to earth.
After arriving in Da'an, standing on the ferry and looking at the boats behind him, Li Lezhi thought of the Wu family. He had previously borrowed the Wu family's boat to go to Yangzhou, and he had not yet repaid the favor. He wanted to find a good Chinese medicine doctor for them. Li Lezhi did some calculations and figured out the address of the good Chinese medicine doctor.
Then he spent a few cents and sent a child to deliver the letter for him. It was an easy job, even if it was just delivering letters for the Wu family, many children were willing to do it.
After resolving this matter, the gratitude between him and the Wu family was severed, and Li Lezhi was relieved.
He returned to Miaodao Temple with his two disciples.
Along the way, Li Le only told Qian Xi the truth and said hello, because his Taoist temple was really shabby and small compared to Qingyun Temple, and it would take some time to improve it.
His Taoist temple could earn ten cents a day from incense donations, which was a remarkable amount.
Qian Xi smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I'm ready."
He followed Li Le to Da'an County only for his master, not for Miaodao Temple. As for the simple conditions and small size of Miaodao Temple, these were not a problem for him.
This time when he came to Da'an County, he brought some servants with him, and also brought a lot of silver and money. With these personal belongings, he could also help his master repair the Taoist temple.
Li Le felt relieved when he saw that he understood.
After returning to Miaodao Temple, the temple was already dusty because he had been away for more than half a month. When Li Le was about to clean it, he was stopped by Qian Xi.
Qian Xi said: "Master, wait a minute, someone will be here soon."
Because the path leading to the Taoist temple was rather narrow, the carriage could not go up the mountain, but this did not prevent Qian Xi's servants from hiring some people to carry the things up one by one.
Li Le only waited for a while, and then he saw mountains of things piled up outside the Taoist temple. Many of them were packed in boxes, and he didn't know what was inside.
Li Le paused for a moment before he said, "Disciple, there are too many things. The temple won't be able to store them all."
Not only could he not put them down, Li Lezhi also had to worry about public security issues. With so many things piled up in his poor Taoist temple, they might be targeted by thieves. With only him and his apprentice...
Could this be the bloody disaster he calculated?
Li Le just began to doubt.
But the things had already arrived at the door, and it would be troublesome to move them back, so they let the Qian family's servants carry all the things into the backyard. When the rest of the people saw the Taoist temple, they looked at each other and asked Li Lezhi.
"Master, can we go in and burn some incense?"
They had heard that there was a temple in the county and that the Taoist priest there was very effective, but they didn't know which temple it was. Besides, they, the porters, had to find work in the city and didn't have time to leave the city to burn incense at the Taoist temple.
This time I happened to arrive at the entrance of the Taoist temple. It would be rare to encounter such a good opportunity next time, so I asked and lit a stick of incense to pray for safety.
"OK."
Li Lezhi was of course willing. After the people entered the Taoist temple, he handed incense to them. More than a dozen incense sticks were placed upright in the incense burner. Curls of smoke rose, and the lonely Taoist temple was also filled with the scent of incense.
After sending the person away and paying the money.
Li Le only walked to the backyard, where there were only two side rooms, one for Qianxi and one for Mingli. Fortunately, the construction of the side rooms was contracted by Mr. Gao, and he did not build them very small, otherwise, Qianxi's belongings would not have fit in.
What Li Lezhi didn't expect was that his apprentice not only improved his own living environment, but also improved his. Although it still looked simple and plain from the outside, the inside was very different, and it was completely different from before. The things used had been replaced with better quality ones.
Li Le thought that was the end, and then he watched as the Qian family replaced the things in his eldest disciple Gao Mingli's room with Mingli's consent.
Li Lezhi and Gao Mingli looked at each other. Needless to say, Li Lezhi could clearly see the shock in Gao Mingli's eyes.
As for him, although he was a little surprised, he still had to hide it well in front of his apprentice.
Gao Mingli walked to the side of Li Lezhi and whispered, "Master, you have invited back a God of Wealth."
Junior brother is so rich.
Even Gao Mingli, whose family was in business, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw Qian Xi's generosity.
It’s like one person is responsible for the whole family!
Li Le just gave Gao Mingli a look, without saying anything else, and he agreed in his heart that it was indeed the God of Wealth who came. However, saying "God of Wealth" didn't seem very accurate. Was it too late for him to cling to his apprentice and live a life of idleness and waiting for death?
After Qian Xi's renovation, the Taoist temple is no longer the same as before, except for one thing: the scale of the temple has not changed, and the backyard can only accommodate the three of them, the master and his disciples. If they want to accommodate Qian Xi's servants, the entire temple needs to be expanded. Building such a Taoist temple requires a lot of money, and it would be too immoral for Qian Xi to pay for it all alone. He would be no different from a vampire sucking blood from Qian Xi.
He had to find a way to make money...
Bald head.
Li Le only pulled Qian Xi aside and asked, "The Taoist temple is too small, can you arrange for them?"
Qian Xi lowered his voice and said, "Master, don't worry, they will return to Yangzhou after everything is packed up."
Li Le just looked at Qian Xi in shock and suppressed the question he wanted to ask Qian Xi. So what if Qian Xi said no? His Taoist temple couldn't accommodate anyone. He couldn't let people sleep on the floor, that would be too torturous.
Li Le just replied with one word "OK".
His disciple had to endure a lot of hardships following him to Da'an.
Fortunately, Qian Xi does not have the young master's problem and can take care of himself. Otherwise, he would need someone to help him dress, and Li Lezhi would not know what to do. He could not do it himself.
Nowadays, we still have to make money.
While Li Lezhi was cooking in the evening, he was still thinking about how to make money without being too conspicuous. He had not forgotten the result of the divination he had calculated.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
Li Le just looked towards the place where the sound came from. Thinking of the belongings that were sent to him during the day, he was cautious. He called his two apprentices and asked Qian Xi and Gao Mingli to take weapons. If there was anything wrong, they could use the sticks to beat them out.
Qian Xi and Gao Mingli also heard the noise outside. They nodded, looked at each other, and tightly grasped the wooden sticks in their hands and walked to the door cautiously.
They unbolted the door and carefully opened it a crack. They hid wooden sticks behind them, and if the people outside were not doing right, they would swing them violently.
"I am a Taoist priest passing by, and I would like to stay at your temple for one night. Can you please give me some convenience?"
In the dim and gloomy sky, Gao Mingli could see clearly that the person outside was indeed a Taoist priest. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a yellow gourd hanging around his waist and a small satchel on his back, which was bulging with something unknown.
He frowned and was about to swing his stick to hit him when he heard Qian Xi whispered, "Is that Taoist Zhang?"
Gao Mingli looked at Qian Xi in confusion, asking him what he meant and whether he knew the Taoist in front of him.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yuanming was standing outside the Taoist temple. Hearing the familiar voice, he asked with a suspicious look on his face, "Qian Xi?"
This is the Miaodao Temple he is looking for, not his Qingyun Temple. How could he hear Qian Xi's voice here? Is he dreaming? He came to the Miaodao Temple in the dream, but the scenery in front of him is too detailed, not at all like the blurry scenery in the dream.
What is going on?
Hearing Taoist Priest Zhang's doubts, Qian Xi touched his nose and felt awkward for a moment. Only Taoist Priest Yun knew that he had changed his mind to Miaodao Temple, but Taoist Priest Zhang didn't know yet.
Perhaps, Taoist Zhang has not yet received the letter from Taoist Yun.
Qian Xi also noticed Gao Mingli's confusion, so he whispered, "It's Taoist Priest Zhang from Qingyun Temple."
There are only two Taoist priests in Qingyun Temple, one is Yun Zhuliu, and the other one is very clear, he is Yun Zhuliu’s master - Zhang Yuanming.
It is the Taoist in front of him.
Gao Mingli opened his mouth in surprise, and immediately snatched the stick from Qian Xi's hand, and hid it in the corner together with his to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstanding.
But he couldn't help but be curious about how Taoist Zhang from Qingyun Temple came here.
Gao Mingli didn't stop at all. He ran into the kitchen and told Li Lezhi about this matter.
Li Le was very surprised when he learned that it was the Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple or Taoist priest Yun’s master who came.
"You go out and entertain the guests first, and wait for me to cook two more dishes."
Before, there were only three of them eating, so three plates of stir-fried dishes were enough. Now, a Taoist priest has come, and since guests are guests, it is inevitable to prepare a few more dishes.
After he finished cooking, he brought it to the table outside and saw with his own eyes what Taoist Priest Zhang looked like. He was a senior who was the same age as his teacher.
This made Li Le feel a little restrained.
Unexpectedly, the old senior also had the same temper as an old naughty boy. When he saw him carrying the dishes, he did not put on airs of an elder. He greeted him as if he had met an old friend who he had not seen for many years, saying: "Master Li is really a handsome man. There are not many Taoist priests who are as handsome as you."
"...You're too kind. I look very ordinary, no different from others."
Gao Mingli was holding the bowl and chopsticks, and when he heard this, he paused. He looked at his master's back with complicated eyes. There was a feeling lingering in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.
I always feel that his master's words make him a little...
What a sin! How could he even think of hitting his master? He acts too much like a bad disciple.
Just think that the master is being humble. The master looks ordinary, and there are not many good-looking people in this world.
Taoist Zhang was also choked up, but the purpose of his coming here was not specifically to praise Li Lezhi, so he did not dwell on this matter. He picked up the dishes on the plate, ready to eat and chat. As soon as the dishes entered his mouth, Zhang Yuanming's eyes suddenly lit up, and his hands picked up the dishes faster.
Seeing him like this, Gao Mingli called out to Qian Xi, daring him to eat quickly.
After the three of them wolfed down the meal and Li Le finished it slowly, Qian Xi and Gao Mingli consciously cleaned up the dishes and left room for the master and Taoist Zhang.
Taoist Zhang touched his full stomach and his opinion of Li Le changed. He originally thought that the young man in front of him was a swindler who relied on his appearance to cheat people and even deceived his lay disciples from Qingyun Temple.
Unexpectedly, this young man has some skills. At least he can cook delicious food. Well, as long as he sincerely repents and doesn't go out to cheat others, he won't care too much about him.
If he is willing to practice, he can also accept him as his own, so that the food problem in the Taoist temple will be solved in the future.
Taoist Priest Zhang said, "I came here from Qingzhou this time. Do you know what happened in Qingzhou recently?"
ah?
When asked, Li Le looked confused, shook his head and smiled, "I don't know."
As for people who have a connection with Qingzhou, he has only met one person during this period of time. He doesn't know if it was Gongsun Miaoran or Sun Miaoran's wealthy son. Could it be that Taoist Zhang came to him because of Sun Miaoran's matter?
He did calculate that Sun Miaoran was related to water that day, and the result was also puzzling.
But it won’t be to the point where other Taoist priests will come looking for you, right?
It can’t be…
Something happened?
"You don't know?" Taoist Zhang frowned. A Taoist fortune teller in Qingzhou predicted that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, and the news had spread among the Taoist temples in Qingzhou. However, in order to avoid panic among the people, the people did not know the reason for the relocation.
Zhang Yuanming also heard about this incident when he was traveling in Qingzhou. He heard that the governor of Qingzhou was very convinced by the Taoist's words and determined that Qingzhou would definitely suffer a flood. How could an unknown Taoist priest predict such a major event?

His disciple had to endure a lot of hardships following him to Da'an.
Fortunately, Qian Xi does not have the young master's problem and can take care of himself. Otherwise, he would need someone to help him dress, and Li Lezhi would not know what to do. He could not do it himself.
Nowadays, we still have to make money.
While Li Lezhi was cooking in the evening, he was still thinking about how to make money without being too conspicuous. He had not forgotten the result of the divination he had calculated.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
Li Le just looked towards the place where the sound came from. Thinking of the belongings that were sent to him during the day, he was cautious. He called his two apprentices and asked Qian Xi and Gao Mingli to take weapons. If there was anything wrong, they could use the sticks to beat them out.
Qian Xi and Gao Mingli also heard the noise outside. They nodded, looked at each other, and tightly grasped the wooden sticks in their hands and walked to the door cautiously.
They unbolted the door and carefully opened it a crack. They hid wooden sticks behind them, and if the people outside were not doing right, they would swing them violently.
"I am a Taoist priest passing by, and I would like to stay at your temple for one night. Can you please give me some convenience?"
In the dim and gloomy sky, Gao Mingli could see clearly that the person outside was indeed a Taoist priest. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a yellow gourd hanging around his waist and a small satchel on his back, which was bulging with something unknown.
He frowned and was about to swing his stick to hit him when he heard Qian Xi whispered, "Is that Taoist Zhang?"
Gao Mingli looked at Qian Xi in confusion, asking him what he meant and whether he knew the Taoist in front of him.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yuanming was standing outside the Taoist temple. Hearing the familiar voice, he asked with a suspicious look on his face, "Qian Xi?"
This is the Miaodao Temple he is looking for, not his Qingyun Temple. How could he hear Qian Xi's voice here? Is he dreaming? He came to the Miaodao Temple in the dream, but the scenery in front of him is too detailed, not at all like the blurry scenery in the dream.
What is going on?
Hearing Taoist Priest Zhang's doubts, Qian Xi touched his nose and felt awkward for a moment. Only Taoist Priest Yun knew that he had changed his mind to Miaodao Temple, but Taoist Priest Zhang didn't know yet.
Perhaps, Taoist Zhang has not yet received the letter from Taoist Yun.
Qian Xi also noticed Gao Mingli's confusion, so he whispered, "It's Taoist Priest Zhang from Qingyun Temple."
There are only two Taoist priests in Qingyun Temple, one is Yun Zhuliu, and the other one is very clear, he is Yun Zhuliu’s master - Zhang Yuanming.
It is the Taoist in front of him.
Gao Mingli opened his mouth in surprise, and immediately snatched the stick from Qian Xi's hand, and hid it in the corner together with his to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstanding.
But he couldn't help but be curious about how Taoist Zhang from Qingyun Temple came here.
Gao Mingli didn't stop at all. He ran into the kitchen and told Li Lezhi about this matter.
Li Le was very surprised when he learned that it was the Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple or Taoist priest Yun’s master who came.
"You go out and entertain the guests first, and wait for me to cook two more dishes."
Before, there were only three of them eating, so three plates of stir-fried dishes were enough. Now, a Taoist priest has come, and since guests are guests, it is inevitable to prepare a few more dishes.
After he finished cooking, he brought it to the table outside and saw with his own eyes what Taoist Priest Zhang looked like. He was a senior who was the same age as his teacher.
This made Li Le feel a little restrained.
Unexpectedly, the old senior also had the same temper as an old naughty boy. When he saw him carrying the dishes, he did not put on airs of an elder. He greeted him as if he had met an old friend who he had not seen for many years, saying: "Master Li is really a handsome man. There are not many Taoist priests who are as handsome as you."
"...You're too kind. I look very ordinary, no different from others."
Gao Mingli was holding the bowl and chopsticks, and when he heard this, he paused. He looked at his master's back with complicated eyes. There was a feeling lingering in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.
I always feel that his master's words make him a little...
What a sin! How could he even think of hitting his master? He acts too much like a bad disciple.
Just think that the master is being humble. The master looks ordinary, and there are not many good-looking people in this world.
Taoist Zhang was also choked up, but the purpose of his coming here was not specifically to praise Li Lezhi, so he did not dwell on this matter. He picked up the dishes on the plate, ready to eat and chat. As soon as the dishes entered his mouth, Zhang Yuanming's eyes suddenly lit up, and his hands picked up the dishes faster.
Seeing him like this, Gao Mingli called out to Qian Xi, daring him to eat quickly.
After the three of them wolfed down the meal and Li Le finished it slowly, Qian Xi and Gao Mingli consciously cleaned up the dishes and left room for the master and Taoist Zhang.
Taoist Zhang touched his full stomach and his opinion of Li Le changed. He originally thought that the young man in front of him was a swindler who relied on his appearance to cheat people and even deceived his lay disciples from Qingyun Temple.
Unexpectedly, this young man has some skills. At least he can cook delicious food. Well, as long as he sincerely repents and doesn't go out to cheat others, he won't care too much about him.
If he is willing to practice, he can also accept him as his own, so that the food problem in the Taoist temple will be solved in the future.
Taoist Priest Zhang said, "I came here from Qingzhou this time. Do you know what happened in Qingzhou recently?"
ah?
When asked, Li Le looked confused, shook his head and smiled, "I don't know."
As for people who have a connection with Qingzhou, he has only met one person during this period of time. He doesn't know if it was Gongsun Miaoran or Sun Miaoran's wealthy son. Could it be that Taoist Zhang came to him because of Sun Miaoran's matter?
He did calculate that Sun Miaoran was related to water that day, and the result was also puzzling.
But it won’t be to the point where other Taoist priests will come looking for you, right?
It can’t be…
Something happened?
"You don't know?" Taoist Zhang frowned. A Taoist fortune teller in Qingzhou predicted that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, and the news had spread among the Taoist temples in Qingzhou. However, in order to avoid panic among the people, the people did not know the reason for the relocation.
Zhang Yuanming also heard about this incident when he was traveling in Qingzhou. He heard that the governor of Qingzhou was very convinced by the Taoist's words and determined that Qingzhou would definitely suffer a flood. How could an unknown Taoist priest predict such a major event?
The Taoists from the Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces had not anticipated that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, but they also knew that what the governor had decided could not be changed by their words.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but the Qingzhou governor Gongsun Zhuoran was a stubborn person who would never change his mind. Moreover, if a flood really came, the governor's action could save many people. If not, the responsibility would be borne by the governor alone.
Therefore, Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces did not care about the matter because they could not figure it out.
Just then Crazy Zhang came to visit, so Sangong entrusted the matter to Crazy Zhang, also known as Zhang Yuanming, and asked him to go there.
In addition, it is rumored that the Taoist priest is from Yangzhou, and Zhang Yuanming is the person in charge of Yangzhou, so it is most appropriate to hand this matter over to him.
Zhang Yuanming inquired along the way and came to Da'an County. He originally wanted to return to Yangzhou to ask his apprentice if he had heard anything about Taoist Li recently. Unexpectedly, he heard about the deeds of a Taoist named Li in Da'an County. People also called him Li Banxian.
Zhang Yuanming's intuition told him that he had found the person.
With the guidance of others, he found Miaodao Mountain and came to Miaodao Temple. He wanted to ask for clarification and also to test whether the rumored Li Banxian had the ability to deserve the title of Half-Immortal.
Although he was a little surprised to see Qian Xi in Miaodao Temple, he would not forget the purpose of his visit just because of Qian Xi and this person's excellent cooking skills.
Taoist Zhang looked at Li Lezhi very seriously.
Li Le only said: "I remember that a few days ago, someone came to me for fortune-telling. I was trying to tell whether he had a disaster in his life. I told him that he would be able to get through it safely. Did something happen to him?"

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
After the results came out, Li Le just remained silent?
He actually figured out that he had to keep a low profile?
no?,
He came out and was very high-profile?
he?.?.???,
I watched a play by the way and didn't do anything else.
What's so high-profile about it?
And the bloody disaster...
Has his fortune-telling skill become so ineffective that he can make mistakes even with the simplest calculations?
Li Le just sat by the window, a cool breeze blew on his face, and his heart was chilled along with the wind.
Started to doubt life.
What went wrong, or was he really being too high-profile when he went out? Was he instructing someone to report to the Chongxuan Office? Was the person who was making things difficult for him already secretly observing him?
Want to kill him secretly?
Li Le just frowned in confusion. Although he didn't really believe in the result of his own calculation, he would not be so stubborn as to use his own life to test whether the divination he had made was correct or not.
Since you have calculated that you should keep a low profile, then keep a low profile.
After Li Le made the decision, he lay in bed, unable to fall asleep anyway. He was still thinking about the days he had spent in Yangzhou and how he had been so high-profile.
If I don't find it out, I won't be able to sleep well.
The moon gradually sank to the west, and Li Lezhi gradually fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already the next day.
Li Le thought about it for only one night and decided that no matter what incident had caused him to become so high-profile, he would stay in the Taoist temple and not go out for the next few days, so that no trouble would come knocking on his door.
After figuring it out, Li Le felt relieved, as if the mountain pressing on his heart had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This change made Li Le more certain that the decision he made was right.
In this way, during his time on the boat, he would at most sit on the deck and fish. Except for the five-jin herring he caught that night, the rest of the fish he caught were small fish, not enough for three people to eat.
However, Li Lezhi did not let it go. The small fish can be fried until both sides are golden brown. It tastes crispy and has a different taste from big fish. It is also a delicacy.
Seven days later.
Li Le only got off the boat, so he is very down to earth.
After arriving in Da'an, standing on the ferry and looking at the boats behind him, Li Lezhi thought of the Wu family. He had previously borrowed the Wu family's boat to go to Yangzhou, and he had not yet repaid the favor. He wanted to find a good Chinese medicine doctor for them. Li Lezhi did some calculations and figured out the address of the good Chinese medicine doctor.
Then he spent a few cents and sent a child to deliver the letter for him. It was an easy job, even if it was just delivering letters for the Wu family, many children were willing to do it.
After resolving this matter, the gratitude between him and the Wu family was severed, and Li Lezhi was relieved.
He returned to Miaodao Temple with his two disciples.
Along the way, Li Le only told Qian Xi the truth and said hello, because his Taoist temple was really shabby and small compared to Qingyun Temple, and it would take some time to improve it.
His Taoist temple could earn ten cents a day from incense donations, which was a remarkable amount.
Qian Xi smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I'm ready."
He followed Li Le to Da'an County only for his master, not for Miaodao Temple. As for the simple conditions and small size of Miaodao Temple, these were not a problem for him.
This time when he came to Da'an County, he brought some servants with him, and also brought a lot of silver and money. With these personal belongings, he could also help his master repair the Taoist temple.
Li Le felt relieved when he saw that he understood.
After returning to Miaodao Temple, the temple was already dusty because he had been away for more than half a month. When Li Le was about to clean it, he was stopped by Qian Xi.
Qian Xi said: "Master, wait a minute, someone will be here soon."
Because the path leading to the Taoist temple was rather narrow, the carriage could not go up the mountain, but this did not prevent Qian Xi's servants from hiring some people to carry the things up one by one.
Li Le only waited for a while, and then he saw mountains of things piled up outside the Taoist temple. Many of them were packed in boxes, and he didn't know what was inside.
Li Le paused for a moment before he said, "Disciple, there are too many things. The temple won't be able to store them all."
Not only could he not put them down, Li Lezhi also had to worry about public security issues. With so many things piled up in his poor Taoist temple, they might be targeted by thieves. With only him and his apprentice...
Could this be the bloody disaster he calculated?
Li Le just began to doubt.
But the things had already arrived at the door, and it would be troublesome to move them back, so they let the Qian family's servants carry all the things into the backyard. When the rest of the people saw the Taoist temple, they looked at each other and asked Li Lezhi.
"Master, can we go in and burn some incense?"
They had heard that there was a temple in the county and that the Taoist priest there was very effective, but they didn't know which temple it was. Besides, they, the porters, had to find work in the city and didn't have time to leave the city to burn incense at the Taoist temple.
This time I happened to arrive at the entrance of the Taoist temple. It would be rare to encounter such a good opportunity next time, so I asked and lit a stick of incense to pray for safety.
"OK."
Li Lezhi was of course willing. After the people entered the Taoist temple, he handed incense to them. More than a dozen incense sticks were placed upright in the incense burner. Curls of smoke rose, and the lonely Taoist temple was also filled with the scent of incense.
After sending the person away and paying the money.
Li Le only walked to the backyard, where there were only two side rooms, one for Qianxi and one for Mingli. Fortunately, the construction of the side rooms was contracted by Mr. Gao, and he did not build them very small, otherwise, Qianxi's belongings would not have fit in.
What Li Lezhi didn't expect was that his apprentice not only improved his own living environment, but also improved his. Although it still looked simple and plain from the outside, the inside was very different, and it was completely different from before. The things used had been replaced with better quality ones.
Li Le thought that was the end, and then he watched as the Qian family replaced the things in his eldest disciple Gao Mingli's room with Mingli's consent.
Li Lezhi and Gao Mingli looked at each other. Needless to say, Li Lezhi could clearly see the shock in Gao Mingli's eyes.
As for him, although he was a little surprised, he still had to hide it well in front of his apprentice.
Gao Mingli walked to the side of Li Lezhi and whispered, "Master, you have invited back a God of Wealth."
Junior brother is so rich.
Even Gao Mingli, whose family was in business, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw Qian Xi's generosity.
It’s like one person is responsible for the whole family!
Li Le just gave Gao Mingli a look, without saying anything else, and he agreed in his heart that it was indeed the God of Wealth who came. However, saying "God of Wealth" didn't seem very accurate. Was it too late for him to cling to his apprentice and live a life of idleness and waiting for death?
After Qian Xi's renovation, the Taoist temple is no longer the same as before, except for one thing: the scale of the temple has not changed, and the backyard can only accommodate the three of them, the master and his disciples. If they want to accommodate Qian Xi's servants, the entire temple needs to be expanded. Building such a Taoist temple requires a lot of money, and it would be too immoral for Qian Xi to pay for it all alone. He would be no different from a vampire sucking blood from Qian Xi.
He had to find a way to make money...
Bald head.
Li Le only pulled Qian Xi aside and asked, "The Taoist temple is too small, can you arrange for them?"
Qian Xi lowered his voice and said, "Master, don't worry, they will return to Yangzhou after everything is packed up."
Li Le just looked at Qian Xi in shock and suppressed the question he wanted to ask Qian Xi. So what if Qian Xi said no? His Taoist temple couldn't accommodate anyone. He couldn't let people sleep on the floor, that would be too torturous.
Li Le just replied with one word "OK".
His disciple had to endure a lot of hardships following him to Da'an.
Fortunately, Qian Xi does not have the young master's problem and can take care of himself. Otherwise, he would need someone to help him dress, and Li Lezhi would not know what to do. He could not do it himself.
Nowadays, we still have to make money.
While Li Lezhi was cooking in the evening, he was still thinking about how to make money without being too conspicuous. He had not forgotten the result of the divination he had calculated.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
Li Le just looked towards the place where the sound came from. Thinking of the belongings that were sent to him during the day, he was cautious. He called his two apprentices and asked Qian Xi and Gao Mingli to take weapons. If there was anything wrong, they could use the sticks to beat them out.
Qian Xi and Gao Mingli also heard the noise outside. They nodded, looked at each other, and tightly grasped the wooden sticks in their hands and walked to the door cautiously.
They unbolted the door and carefully opened it a crack. They hid wooden sticks behind them, and if the people outside were not doing right, they would swing them violently.
"I am a Taoist priest passing by, and I would like to stay at your temple for one night. Can you please give me some convenience?"
In the dim and gloomy sky, Gao Mingli could see clearly that the person outside was indeed a Taoist priest. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a yellow gourd hanging around his waist and a small satchel on his back, which was bulging with something unknown.
He frowned and was about to swing his stick to hit him when he heard Qian Xi whispered, "Is that Taoist Zhang?"
Gao Mingli looked at Qian Xi in confusion, asking him what he meant and whether he knew the Taoist in front of him.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yuanming was standing outside the Taoist temple. Hearing the familiar voice, he asked with a suspicious look on his face, "Qian Xi?"
This is the Miaodao Temple he is looking for, not his Qingyun Temple. How could he hear Qian Xi's voice here? Is he dreaming? He came to the Miaodao Temple in the dream, but the scenery in front of him is too detailed, not at all like the blurry scenery in the dream.
What is going on?
Hearing Taoist Priest Zhang's doubts, Qian Xi touched his nose and felt awkward for a moment. Only Taoist Priest Yun knew that he had changed his mind to Miaodao Temple, but Taoist Priest Zhang didn't know yet.

But he couldn't help but be curious about how Taoist Zhang from Qingyun Temple came here.
Gao Mingli didn't stop at all. He ran into the kitchen and told Li Lezhi about this matter.
Li Le was very surprised when he learned that it was the Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple or Taoist priest Yun’s master who came.

After he finished cooking, he brought it to the table outside and saw with his own eyes what Taoist Priest Zhang looked like. He was a senior who was the same age as his teacher.
This made Li Le feel a little restrained.
Unexpectedly, the old senior also had the same temper as an old naughty boy. When he saw him carrying the dishes, he did not put on airs of an elder. He greeted him as if he had met an old friend who he had not seen for many years, saying: "Master Li is really a handsome man. There are not many Taoist priests who are as handsome as you."
"...You're too kind. I look very ordinary, no different from others."

They had heard that there was a temple in the county and that the Taoist priest there was very effective, but they didn't know which temple it was. Besides, they, the porters, had to find work in the city and didn't have time to leave the city to burn incense at the Taoist temple.
This time I happened to arrive at the entrance of the Taoist temple. It would be rare to encounter such a good opportunity next time, so I asked and lit a stick of incense to pray for safety.
"OK."
Li Lezhi was of course willing. After the people entered the Taoist temple, he handed incense to them. More than a dozen incense sticks were placed upright in the incense burner. Curls of smoke rose, and the lonely Taoist temple was also filled with the scent of incense.
After sending the person away and paying the money.
Li Le only walked to the backyard, where there were only two side rooms, one for Qianxi and one for Mingli. Fortunately, the construction of the side rooms was contracted by Mr. Gao, and he did not build them very small, otherwise, Qianxi's belongings would not have fit in.
What Li Lezhi didn't expect was that his apprentice not only improved his own living environment, but also improved his. Although it still looked simple and plain from the outside, the inside was very different, and it was completely different from before. The things used had been replaced with better quality ones.
Li Le thought that was the end, and then he watched as the Qian family replaced the things in his eldest disciple Gao Mingli's room with Mingli's consent.
Li Lezhi and Gao Mingli looked at each other. Needless to say, Li Lezhi could clearly see the shock in Gao Mingli's eyes.
As for him, although he was a little surprised, he still had to hide it well in front of his apprentice.
Gao Mingli walked to the side of Li Lezhi and whispered, "Master, you have invited back a God of Wealth."
Junior brother is so rich.
Even Gao Mingli, whose family was in business, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw Qian Xi's generosity.
It’s like one person is responsible for the whole family!
Li Le just gave Gao Mingli a look, without saying anything else, and he agreed in his heart that it was indeed the God of Wealth who came. However, saying "God of Wealth" didn't seem very accurate. Was it too late for him to cling to his apprentice and live a life of idleness and waiting for death?
After Qian Xi's renovation, the Taoist temple is no longer the same as before, except for one thing: the scale of the temple has not changed, and the backyard can only accommodate the three of them, the master and his disciples. If they want to accommodate Qian Xi's servants, the entire temple needs to be expanded. Building such a Taoist temple requires a lot of money, and it would be too immoral for Qian Xi to pay for it all alone. He would be no different from a vampire sucking blood from Qian Xi.
He had to find a way to make money...
Bald head.
Li Le only pulled Qian Xi aside and asked, "The Taoist temple is too small, can you arrange for them?"
Qian Xi lowered his voice and said, "Master, don't worry, they will return to Yangzhou after everything is packed up."
Li Le just looked at Qian Xi in shock and suppressed the question he wanted to ask Qian Xi. So what if Qian Xi said no? His Taoist temple couldn't accommodate anyone. He couldn't let people sleep on the floor, that would be too torturous.
Li Le just replied with one word "OK".
His disciple had to endure a lot of hardships following him to Da'an.
Fortunately, Qian Xi does not have the young master's problem and can take care of himself. Otherwise, he would need someone to help him dress, and Li Lezhi would not know what to do. He could not do it himself.
Nowadays, we still have to make money.
While Li Lezhi was cooking in the evening, he was still thinking about how to make money without being too conspicuous. He had not forgotten the result of the divination he had calculated.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
Li Le just looked towards the place where the sound came from. Thinking of the belongings that were sent to him during the day, he was cautious. He called his two apprentices and asked Qian Xi and Gao Mingli to take weapons. If there was anything wrong, they could use the sticks to beat them out.
Qian Xi and Gao Mingli also heard the noise outside. They nodded, looked at each other, and tightly grasped the wooden sticks in their hands and walked to the door cautiously.
They unbolted the door and carefully opened it a crack. They hid wooden sticks behind them, and if the people outside were not doing right, they would swing them violently.
"I am a Taoist priest passing by, and I would like to stay at your temple for one night. Can you please give me some convenience?"
In the dim and gloomy sky, Gao Mingli could see clearly that the person outside was indeed a Taoist priest. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a yellow gourd hanging around his waist and a small satchel on his back, which was bulging with something unknown.
He frowned and was about to swing his stick to hit him when he heard Qian Xi whispered, "Is that Taoist Zhang?"
Gao Mingli looked at Qian Xi in confusion, asking him what he meant and whether he knew the Taoist in front of him.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yuanming was standing outside the Taoist temple. Hearing the familiar voice, he asked with a suspicious look on his face, "Qian Xi?"
This is the Miaodao Temple he is looking for, not his Qingyun Temple. How could he hear Qian Xi's voice here? Is he dreaming? He came to the Miaodao Temple in the dream, but the scenery in front of him is too detailed, not at all like the blurry scenery in the dream.
What is going on?
Hearing Taoist Priest Zhang's doubts, Qian Xi touched his nose and felt awkward for a moment. Only Taoist Priest Yun knew that he had changed his mind to Miaodao Temple, but Taoist Priest Zhang didn't know yet.
Perhaps, Taoist Zhang has not yet received the letter from Taoist Yun.
Qian Xi also noticed Gao Mingli's confusion, so he whispered, "It's Taoist Priest Zhang from Qingyun Temple."
There are only two Taoist priests in Qingyun Temple, one is Yun Zhuliu, and the other one is very clear, he is Yun Zhuliu’s master - Zhang Yuanming.
It is the Taoist in front of him.
Gao Mingli opened his mouth in surprise, and immediately snatched the stick from Qian Xi's hand, and hid it in the corner together with his to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstanding.
But he couldn't help but be curious about how Taoist Zhang from Qingyun Temple came here.
Gao Mingli didn't stop at all. He ran into the kitchen and told Li Lezhi about this matter.
Li Le was very surprised when he learned that it was the Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple or Taoist priest Yun’s master who came.
"You go out and entertain the guests first, and wait for me to cook two more dishes."
Before, there were only three of them eating, so three plates of stir-fried dishes were enough. Now, a Taoist priest has come, and since guests are guests, it is inevitable to prepare a few more dishes.
After he finished cooking, he brought it to the table outside and saw with his own eyes what Taoist Priest Zhang looked like. He was a senior who was the same age as his teacher.
This made Li Le feel a little restrained.
Unexpectedly, the old senior also had the same temper as an old naughty boy. When he saw him carrying the dishes, he did not put on airs of an elder. He greeted him as if he had met an old friend who he had not seen for many years, saying: "Master Li is really a handsome man. There are not many Taoist priests who are as handsome as you."
"...You're too kind. I look very ordinary, no different from others."
Gao Mingli was holding the bowl and chopsticks, and when he heard this, he paused. He looked at his master's back with complicated eyes. There was a feeling lingering in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.
I always feel that his master's words make him a little...
What a sin! How could he even think of hitting his master? He acts too much like a bad disciple.
Just think that the master is being humble. The master looks ordinary, and there are not many good-looking people in this world.
Taoist Zhang was also choked up, but the purpose of his coming here was not specifically to praise Li Lezhi, so he did not dwell on this matter. He picked up the dishes on the plate, ready to eat and chat. As soon as the dishes entered his mouth, Zhang Yuanming's eyes suddenly lit up, and his hands picked up the dishes faster.
Seeing him like this, Gao Mingli called out to Qian Xi, daring him to eat quickly.
After the three of them wolfed down the meal and Li Le finished it slowly, Qian Xi and Gao Mingli consciously cleaned up the dishes and left room for the master and Taoist Zhang.
Taoist Zhang touched his full stomach and his opinion of Li Le changed. He originally thought that the young man in front of him was a swindler who relied on his appearance to cheat people and even deceived his lay disciples from Qingyun Temple.
Unexpectedly, this young man has some skills. At least he can cook delicious food. Well, as long as he sincerely repents and doesn't go out to cheat others, he won't care too much about him.
If he is willing to practice, he can also accept him as his own, so that the food problem in the Taoist temple will be solved in the future.
Taoist Priest Zhang said, "I came here from Qingzhou this time. Do you know what happened in Qingzhou recently?"
ah?
When asked, Li Le looked confused, shook his head and smiled, "I don't know."
As for people who have a connection with Qingzhou, he has only met one person during this period of time. He doesn't know if it was Gongsun Miaoran or Sun Miaoran's wealthy son. Could it be that Taoist Zhang came to him because of Sun Miaoran's matter?
He did calculate that Sun Miaoran was related to water that day, and the result was also puzzling.
But it won’t be to the point where other Taoist priests will come looking for you, right?
It can’t be…
Something happened?
"You don't know?" Taoist Zhang frowned. A Taoist fortune teller in Qingzhou predicted that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, and the news had spread among the Taoist temples in Qingzhou. However, in order to avoid panic among the people, the people did not know the reason for the relocation.
Zhang Yuanming also heard about this incident when he was traveling in Qingzhou. He heard that the governor of Qingzhou was very convinced by the Taoist's words and determined that Qingzhou would definitely suffer a flood. How could an unknown Taoist priest predict such a major event?
The Taoists from the Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces had not anticipated that Qingzhou would suffer a flood, but they also knew that what the governor had decided could not be changed by their words.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but the Qingzhou governor Gongsun Zhuoran was a stubborn person who would never change his mind. Moreover, if a flood really came, the governor's action could save many people. If not, the responsibility would be borne by the governor alone.
Therefore, Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing Palaces did not care about the matter because they could not figure it out.
Just then Crazy Zhang came to visit, so Sangong entrusted the matter to Crazy Zhang, also known as Zhang Yuanming, and asked him to go there.
In addition, it is rumored that the Taoist priest is from Yangzhou, and Zhang Yuanming is the person in charge of Yangzhou, so it is most appropriate to hand this matter over to him.
Zhang Yuanming inquired along the way and came to Da'an County. He originally wanted to return to Yangzhou to ask his apprentice if he had heard anything about Taoist Li recently. Unexpectedly, he heard about the deeds of a Taoist named Li in Da'an County. People also called him Li Banxian.
Zhang Yuanming's intuition told him that he had found the person.
With the guidance of others, he found Miaodao Mountain and came to Miaodao Temple. He wanted to ask for clarification and also to test whether the rumored Li Banxian had the ability to deserve the title of Half-Immortal.
Although he was a little surprised to see Qian Xi in Miaodao Temple, he would not forget the purpose of his visit just because of Qian Xi and this person's excellent cooking skills.
Taoist Zhang looked at Li Lezhi very seriously.
Li Le only said: "I remember that a few days ago, someone came to me for fortune-telling. I was trying to tell whether he had a disaster in his life. I told him that he would be able to get through it safely. Did something happen to him?"
The author has something to say
Thanks to the little angel who cast the mines: yuejiahuli046151;
Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: September 20th 15 bottles; Yizhizhai 12 bottles; Fentiao likes chaos 10 bottles; Yanmiao 958 bottles; Daidai, Jushan, Pineapple Pie, Jinyou, 050, Mrs. Xu, zyq, Eucalyptus 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
After the results came out, Li Le just kept silent.
He actually figured out that he had to keep a low profile.
no,
He came out and was very high-profile?
He came to Yangzhou to do serious business, but he accepted a disciple and made friends with Taoist Master Yun.
I watched a play by the way and didn't do anything else.
What's so high-profile about it?
And the bloody disaster...
Has his fortune-telling skill become so ineffective that he can make mistakes even with the simplest calculations?
Li Le just sat by the window, a cool breeze blew on his face, and his heart was chilled along with the wind.
Started to doubt life.
What went wrong, or was he really being too high-profile when he went out? Was he instructing someone to report to the Chongxuan Office? Was the person who was making things difficult for him already secretly observing him?
Want to kill him secretly?
Li Le just frowned in confusion. Although he didn't really believe in the result of his own calculation, he would not be so stubborn as to use his own life to test whether the divination he had made was correct or not.
Since you have calculated that you should keep a low profile, then keep a low profile.
After Li Le made the decision, he lay in bed, unable to fall asleep anyway. He was still thinking about the days he had spent in Yangzhou and how he had been so high-profile.
If I don't find it out, I won't be able to sleep well.
The moon gradually sank to the west, and Li Lezhi gradually fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already the next day.
Li Le thought about it for only one night and decided that no matter what incident had caused him to become so high-profile, he would stay in the Taoist temple and not go out for the next few days, so that no trouble would come knocking on his door.
After figuring it out, Li Le felt relieved, as if the mountain pressing on his heart had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This change made Li Le more certain that the decision he made was right.
In this way, during his time on the boat, he would at most sit on the deck and fish. Except for the five-jin herring he caught that night, the rest of the fish he caught were small fish, not enough for three people to eat.
However, Li Lezhi did not let it go. The small fish can be fried until both sides are golden brown. It tastes crispy and has a different taste from big fish. It is also a delicacy.
Seven days later.
Li Le only got off the boat, so he is very down to earth.
After arriving in Da'an, standing on the ferry and looking at the boats behind him, Li Lezhi thought of the Wu family. He had previously borrowed the Wu family's boat to go to Yangzhou, and he had not yet repaid the favor. He wanted to find a good Chinese medicine doctor for them. Li Lezhi did some calculations and figured out the address of the good Chinese medicine doctor.
Then he spent a few cents and sent a child to deliver the letter for him. It was an easy job, even if it was just delivering letters for the Wu family, many children were willing to do it.
After resolving this matter, the gratitude between him and the Wu family was severed, and Li Lezhi was relieved.
He returned to Miaodao Temple with his two disciples.
Along the way, Li Le only told Qian Xi the truth and said hello, because his Taoist temple was really shabby and small compared to Qingyun Temple, and it would take some time to improve it.
His Taoist temple could earn ten cents a day from incense donations, which was a remarkable amount.
Qian Xi smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I'm ready."
He followed Li Le to Da'an County only for his master, not for Miaodao Temple. As for the simple conditions and small size of Miaodao Temple, these were not a problem for him.
This time when he came to Da'an County, he brought some servants with him, and also brought a lot of silver and money. With these personal belongings, he could also help his master repair the Taoist temple.
Li Le felt relieved when he saw that he understood.
After returning to Miaodao Temple, the temple was already dusty because he had been away for more than half a month. When Li Le was about to clean it, he was stopped by Qian Xi.
Qian Xi said: "Master, wait a minute, someone will be here soon."
Because the path leading to the Taoist temple was rather narrow, the carriage could not go up the mountain, but this did not prevent Qian Xi's servants from hiring some people to carry the things up one by one.
Li Le only waited for a while, and then he saw mountains of things piled up outside the Taoist temple. Many of them were packed in boxes, and he didn't know what was inside.
Li Le paused for a moment before he said, "Disciple, there are too many things. The temple won't be able to store them all."
Not only could he not put them down, Li Lezhi also had to worry about public security issues. With so many things piled up in his poor Taoist temple, they might be targeted by thieves. With only him and his apprentice...
Could this be the bloody disaster he calculated?
Li Le just began to doubt.
But the things had already arrived at the door, and it would be troublesome to move them back, so they let the Qian family's servants carry all the things into the backyard. When the rest of the people saw the Taoist temple, they looked at each other and asked Li Lezhi.
"Master, can we go in and burn some incense?"
They had heard that there was a temple in the county and that the Taoist priest there was very effective, but they didn't know which temple it was. Besides, they, the porters, had to find work in the city and didn't have time to leave the city to burn incense at the Taoist temple.
This time I happened to arrive at the entrance of the Taoist temple. It would be rare to encounter such a good opportunity next time, so I asked and lit a stick of incense to pray for safety.
"OK."
Li Lezhi was of course willing. After the people entered the Taoist temple, he handed incense to them. More than a dozen incense sticks were placed upright in the incense burner. Curls of smoke rose, and the lonely Taoist temple was also filled with the scent of incense.
After sending the person away and paying the money.
Li Le only walked to the backyard, where there were only two side rooms, one for Qianxi and one for Mingli. Fortunately, the construction of the side rooms was contracted by Mr. Gao, and he did not build them very small, otherwise, Qianxi's belongings would not have fit in.
What Li Lezhi didn't expect was that his apprentice not only improved his own living environment, but also improved his. Although it still looked simple and plain from the outside, the inside was very different, and it was completely different from before. The things used had been replaced with better quality ones.
Li Le thought that was the end, and then he watched as the Qian family replaced the things in his eldest disciple Gao Mingli's room with Mingli's consent.
Li Lezhi and Gao Mingli looked at each other. Needless to say, Li Lezhi could clearly see the shock in Gao Mingli's eyes.
As for him, although he was a little surprised, he still had to hide it well in front of his apprentice.
Gao Mingli walked to the side of Li Lezhi and whispered, "Master, you have invited back a God of Wealth."
Junior brother is so rich.
Even Gao Mingli, whose family was in business, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw Qian Xi's generosity.
It’s like one person is responsible for the whole family!
Li Le just gave Gao Mingli a look, without saying anything else, and he agreed in his heart that it was indeed the God of Wealth who came. However, saying "God of Wealth" didn't seem very accurate. Was it too late for him to cling to his apprentice and live a life of idleness and waiting for death?
After Qian Xi's renovation, the Taoist temple is no longer the same as before, except for one thing: the scale of the temple has not changed, and the backyard can only accommodate the three of them, the master and his disciples. If they want to accommodate Qian Xi's servants, the entire temple needs to be expanded. Building such a Taoist temple requires a lot of money, and it would be too immoral for Qian Xi to pay for it all alone. He would be no different from a vampire sucking blood from Qian Xi.
He had to find a way to make money...
Bald head.
Li Le only pulled Qian Xi aside and asked, "The Taoist temple is too small, can you arrange for them?"
Qian Xi lowered his voice and said, "Master, don't worry, they will return to Yangzhou after everything is packed up."

They unbolted the door and carefully opened it a crack. They hid wooden sticks behind them, and if the people outside were not doing right, they would swing them violently.
"I am a Taoist priest passing by, and I would like to stay at your temple for one night. Can you please give me some convenience?"
In the dim and gloomy sky, Gao Mingli could see clearly that the person outside was indeed a Taoist priest. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a yellow gourd hanging around his waist and a small satchel on his back, which was bulging with something unknown.
He frowned and was about to swing his stick to hit him when he heard Qian Xi whispered, "Is that Taoist Zhang?"
Gao Mingli looked at Qian Xi in confusion, asking him what he meant and whether he knew the Taoist in front of him.
