Chapter 25 Exchange
"It must be Taoist Priest Yichengzi. The Taoist Priest is indeed tall and majestic, and one can tell at a glance that he has great magical powers." The smile comes before the person arrives.
The county magistrate walked over with square steps and a smile on his face.
"Haha, it's me."
"County Master, where are the banknotes? And please also pay the balance from last time. The temple is going to be in trouble."
County Master Zhou: “???”
The county magistrate's smile froze on his face.
Why is there such a big difference between Taoist Master Yichengzi of Yinlong Temple and Taoist Master Baiyunzi in terms of character? The only thing he asks for is money?
Taoist Master Bai Yunzi never asks for the balance payment.
After a flash of thought, County Master Zhou happily took out eight hundred taels of silver and handed it to Yi Chen.
The situation is stronger than people now. This is not the time to be petty. What matters most is to keep your official hat.
As long as the black hat is still on your head, you can get it back even if you lose all your money.
If the situation cannot be controlled and the people from the Zhen'an Division of the imperial court take over, the evil spirits will definitely be cleared away. However, the people from the Zhen'an Division are also investigating corruption... His account books are not clean, and if someone finds out something, he will have nine heads and they will not be enough to chop off.
Some things are easy to explain if they are not weighed, but if they are weighed, even a thousand pounds cannot hold it.
It is better to cover if you can and press if you can.
"Master, the masters from other Taoist temples are already discussing matters in the backyard of the county government office. If it's convenient for you, I'll send someone to take you there."
"Okay, okay, I'll trouble you, County Master."
Yi Chen stretched out his big hand and took the silver note handed over by the county magistrate, but he pulled his hand and failed to take the silver note.
The county magistrate held the silver note tightly in his hand.
"County Master, there is no end to making money." Yi Chen's faint voice came.
"The Wang family is extinct. How tragic."
Yi Chen stopped there.
After hearing what Yi Chen said, County Master Zhou smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand that was tightly holding the silver note. He pondered for a moment, then took out a silver note of two hundred taels and handed it to Yi Chen.
"Then I'll leave everything to you, Taoist priest." This time, the county magistrate's tone was particularly sincere. "Your cultivation is profound. You will definitely be able to drive away the evil spirits and restore a bright and clear sky to the people of Fengyun County."
"Master Bai Yunzi once told me that you are a genius and extremely intelligent."
"The Huanzhen Temple and Lingfeng Temple in the backyard have their own plans. This time, their masters did not come. It is impossible to expect them to make great efforts and sacrifice themselves."
"The nuns and masters of Miaoyue Temple and Yuelun Temple are sincere, but the evil spirits are too dangerous this time, and I'm afraid they can't handle the task."
"As long as the Taoist priest is able to kill this evil spirit, I, Zhou, will reward you handsomely."
“….” Yi Chen was stunned for a moment after hearing that.
Did the master always praise me like this behind my back? The case was solved. It seems that the master couldn't hold back his pride. None of the four disciples had awakened their spirituality, but he was bragging outside that I was strong and talented.
No wonder the master basically didn't bring him along when communicating with other fellow practitioners. It seemed he was afraid of being exposed.
I wonder why the county master has such blind trust in me. I don’t know how the master praised me. I want to hear...
With his mind in a state of confusion, Yi Chen now had a clear understanding of the situation.
The people in Huanzhen Temple and Lingfeng Temple are all ordinary people. The strongest masters of the temples did not come, and those who came were their junior brothers.
This is the reason why you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.
No wonder these two Taoist temples are becoming more and more prosperous nowadays and have industries in the city, while his Yinlong Temple is becoming less and less popular.
Wherever there is evil, he rushes to the Hidden Dragon Temple. It's fine if he rushes, but he still wants to get enough benefits. He likes to play around and leave. He hides his merits and fame. How can this not be decadent and fair?
When Bai Yunzi was seriously injured, the Taoist temple couldn't afford a hundred taels, and Yi Chen had to go to the Treasure Street to sell the Overlord Chicken in exchange for ginseng. A Taoist temple with high-level cultivation of Qi Refining and Spiritualization has ended up in such a situation. It's really... admirable.
Practitioners of the Pure Yang Way cannot tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes.
"Master." Yi Chen murmured to himself, and the figure of the tall old man appeared in his mind again.
Actually, his master Bai Yunzi was well versed in worldly affairs and understood everything, but he just couldn't help himself. When he saw the evil spirits causing trouble, he wanted to rush forward. In the end, he burned his lifespan and used forbidden techniques to kill two ferocious ghosts of red and white. Only then did negative energy enter his body, and he died before his lifespan was up.
Haha, the world is in tatters, but there are always people patching it up.
"If good and evil go unrewarded, then the universe must be partial."
"My Hidden Dragon Temple is flourishing. If not, then the heaven is blind!"
In an instant, Yi Chen made a decision in his mind that this might be an opportunity for him to revitalize the Taoist temple.
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.
He groaned for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, even good wine needs a bush."
County Master Zhou understood the meaning of the music and said immediately, "This is easy. After this is over, I will ask the people at the government office to help publicize the great achievements of the Hidden Dragon Temple. I think the temple will become more prosperous."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I need a precious medicine to replenish my essence and energy, and I need it now. My junior brother is a genius and extremely intelligent. If he grows up, the county lord will have one more choice. In the future, when I encounter evil spirits, I won't have to be constrained by forces such as Huanzhen Temple."
County Master Zhou pondered for a moment and said with a smile:
"I have also agreed to this. I have three hundred-year-old ginsengs and two eighty-year-old astragalus in my study. They can be delivered to you, Taoist Junior Brother, today."
Yi Chen looked at County Master Zhou's fat face strangely. He didn't expect that this fat-headed and big-eared county master was quite decisive and had some courage.
"The county magistrate is indeed a quick-witted man. I have a good relationship with Chief Constable Zhang from the yamen. I have accepted him as my registered disciple. If you have any questions in the future, you can send him to contact me."
"Captain Zhang is brave and courageous, and his idea for Zhenbao Street is eye-catching. He is quite popular among the constables. I think the position of Chief Constable of Fengyun County is his for the best."
"After this incident, Zhou still has many things he wants to ask the Taoist priest."
Yi Chen did not respond to this, but bowed deeply to the county lord, "May you be blessed with infinite blessings, I am leaving now."
Everything is implied.
Yi Chen flicked his sleeves and strode into the backyard of the county government office with his head held high.
At the end of last month, according to the information obtained by Captain Zhang, his master Bai Yunzi did not have a good relationship with Lingfeng Temple, and had even taught a Taoist priest a lesson.
It is said that this man hinted to a pretty woman to sleep with him under the pretext of rescuing her husband who was possessed by evil spirits. However, Bai Yunzi accidentally found out about this and gave him a beating, which ruined his plan and brought great shame to Lingfeng Temple.
Today I'm going to take a look at the quality of Lingfeng Temple.
After passing through a long corridor, Yi Chen soon arrived at the door of the meeting hall in the backyard.
He paused, made a decision in his heart, pushed open the vermilion door, and walked into the lobby.
There were four figures sitting in the hall, two Taoists, one monk and one nun.
Master Lianhua was still wearing his moon-white robe and looked very elegant.
She has a thin face, a pointed chin, and is wearing a gray black robe with a wide waist, wide sleeves, and a round collar and square lapels. I guess she is Master Shuiyue from Miaoyue Temple.
This surprised Yi Chen a little. He didn't expect that Master Shuiyue was so young. She was in her thirties but looked like a beautiful lady in her twenties.
Her lips are red without any makeup, her eyebrows are green without any makeup, and more importantly, her slender branches bear beautiful fruits. Even the loose black clothes cannot hide her graceful figure.
Hiss, how can we exorcise demons like this? It seems a bit inconvenient.
