Chapter 27 The Koi Girl Who Came to the Door [New Book, Please Collect! ]
Some people have noticed that the water in the Heishui River is becoming clearer.
The originally dark water has turned clear after the changes in the past few days. Some people say that a passing immortal punished the water ghost, while others say that the water ghost became a river god and started to cleanse the water.
There are still more supporters of the former, after all, no one wants the evil ghost to achieve success.
But after years of threatening the water ghosts, no one dared to go in the water. At most, some brave young people ran over and took a quick look at the river surface.
At noon that day, the grass was green and the birds were singing.
A little girl with two ponytails came from the direction of the river bank.
From a distance, she was wearing a cloud-like silk dress decorated with colorful tassels, her skin was crystal clear, and her facial features were as delicate as a porcelain doll. She had two ponytails that swayed as she walked, looking cute and adorable.
As he walked, he opened his big, bright eyes and looked at everything around him with curiosity.
When you get closer, you can hear her mumbling something.
Probably words like "Hello", "My name is Yue'er", "Excuse me..."
After walking for a while, she saw a farmer carrying a hoe, and she quickly stretched out her long legs to chase him.
"Hello!" She rushed to the farmer and stopped, almost unable to stop.
The farmer frowned when he saw someone suddenly rush out from the side and almost bump into him.
But when he looked again, he saw that she was a beautiful girl with fair skin. Her frowning brows suddenly relaxed and the corners of her straight mouth turned up.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" He put down the hoe and asked kindly.
The girl took two breaths and then asked quickly, "Hello, my name is Yue'er. I want to find a very handsome young Taoist priest. Do you know where he is?"
"Oh, you must be talking about Taoist Xiao Li." The farmer knew who she was asking about without even thinking about it.
He patiently pointed the way to the girl: "Go straight along this willow embankment, don't cross the river, turn left after going down the embankment, and walk three miles to see a small hillside. Deyun Temple is on the hillside, and Taoist Priest Li is usually inside the temple."
"Thank you!"
The girl named Yue'er thanked him sincerely and then walked happily along the river bank.
The farmer looked at the girl's cheerful back, smiled, then picked up his hoe and continued on his way.
What he didn't see was that not long after he turned around, the girl, who had walked less than a hundred steps along the embankment, suddenly stopped and looked blankly at a bridge in front of her.
She scratched her head: "Huh? Do you want to cross the river?"
At this moment, an old man happened to walk down from the bridge, and the girl hurried over again.
"Hello, my name is Yue'er. I want to find a very handsome young Taoist priest. Do you know where he is?" she repeated.
"Oh, Taoist Xiao Li, right? Just walk along the river bank, turn left after you get off the bank, and you will soon reach Deyun Temple." The old man smiled and patiently showed her the way.
"Thank you."
The girl bowed to the old man and walked happily down the river bank.
After quickly walking across the short riverbank, the girl went down and suddenly froze, looking blankly at the fork in the road ahead: "Eh? Which way should I go?"
She looked around and saw a peasant woman wearing a headscarf, so she ran over again: "Hello."
…
Wang Longqi was very efficient. He had just returned from the Liu family haunted house the day before, and even though his injuries had not healed yet, he had already arranged the workers for the Taoist temple.
All the buildings in Deyun Temple need to be repaired, the front and back yards need to be renovated, and a guest room needs to be added - this way, when guests come in the future, Li Chu won't have to run over and squeeze with the master.
The whole yard was under construction, so the master and apprentice had no choice but to bring their small stools and sit outside the gate, watching the bustling scene inside side by side.
There is the same happy smile on his face.
It was as if he was looking at the empire he had built.
The Taoist temple was closed these days, and Wang Longqi had originally invited the master and his apprentice to stay at Wang's house for a few days, asking them to wait until the construction of the Taoist temple was completed before coming back.
Yu Qian'an refused at first. Although there were nothing valuable in the temple, he had some treasures that he was afraid to show to others... no, he was afraid of losing them, so he had to stay and supervise.
Li Chu has always stayed away from such unnecessary interpersonal interactions.
In his opinion, Wang Longqi's contribution was enough to prove the friendship between the two.
It is best to avoid those courtesies and enthusiasm that cannot be quantified.
Hence the scene before our eyes.
The master and his disciple sat side by side outside the door, doing nothing but feeling happy.
Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps behind me.
Li Chu turned around and saw a dazzlingly white girl running towards him.
She looked very excited, with her arms outstretched, her tassels fluttering, her hair disheveled, and she looked exhausted.
Li Chu stood up calmly.
This was not the first time he had met a girl who was extremely excited about him. Just when the girl was about to pounce on him, he calmly extended a finger.
Chirp.
His index finger was poking at the girl's forehead, completely blocking her forward momentum.
The girl bumped into Li Chu's fingers, paused for a moment, and her body was bounced back, with a small red mark instantly appearing on her forehead.
"Oh, it hurts." She covered her forehead and squatted down.
Li Chu sat back on the small stool and said, "Sorry, Deyun Temple is closed these days."
"I came here specially to see you!" The girl rubbed her forehead for a while, raised her face again, and blinked her big, shining eyes at Li Chu: "You are the handsome little Taoist priest my grandfather talked about, right?"
Li Chu blinked, not knowing how to answer.
Yu Qian'an, who was standing next to her, smiled at the little girl and said, "Although I don't know who your grandfather is, the most handsome Taoist priests within a few hundred miles of Yuhang Town are all in our Deyun Temple."
"Yes, it must be you!" The girl looked at Li Chu's face carefully, then nodded heavily.
"Is there anything wrong?" Li Chu asked.
The girl said seriously, "My name is Yue'er. My grandfather told me to come to Yuhang Town to find a very handsome young Taoist priest and recognize him as my master. Only he can save our people."
"Save people?" Li Chu tilted his head, feeling a little confused.
"Master?" Yu Qian'an also quickly grasped the key point, and his eyes showed an interested light.
The girl continued, "My grandfather said he saw you. After you killed the water ghost, it came to thank you."
"You are not a human?" Li Chu suddenly remembered who she was talking about.
After getting rid of the water ghost that day, an old man transformed from a koi fish appeared in his dream to express his gratitude.
It turned out to be him.
"Yes, my grandfather is the patriarch of the Koi clan, and I am the most beautiful colorful Koi in our clan." Yue'er turned up her nose when she said this, feeling a little proud, but soon became depressed again.
"Koi?" Yu Qian'an's eyes brightened when he heard this.
"Our entire clan was captured by the bad guys, and I was the only one who escaped. My grandfather asked me to come to you, and he said that only you can save them. Please, I recognize you as my master, please help us." Yue'er pleaded.
So pitiful.
"Don't worry about anything else, just tell me where they are first?" Li Chu said.
"I don't know, they were captured by bad guys." Yue'er shook her head.
"Then who took them away?" Li Chu asked again.
"I don't know, I don't know him." Yue'er shook her head again.
"Then...how do you want me to save your people?" Li Chu asked finally.
"I don't know, but my grandfather said that only you can save them." Yue'er said pitifully at last.
“…”
Li Chu fell into silence.
Yu Qian'an also shook his head, thinking that she was a pretty girl, but unfortunately she was a fool.
