Chapter 41: Koi's Lucky Charm [New book, please collect it! ]
After waiting for a few more days, Li Chu still did not receive the killer from Qingyi Building, but instead received a professional team.
On this day, a team of four young Taoist priests came to the Yuhang County Government Office.
They were all dressed in the same dark blue Taoist robes with white base, tied sleeves and leggings. There were three men and one woman, all of them looked perfect and full of energy.
After handing over the visiting cards, I found out that these people were all from Shenxu Temple outside Chaoge City, and were disciples of Taoist priest Chang Shouchong.
Gongsun Zhe had a close friendship with Chang Shouchong and wrote to him for help when he left Chaoge.
Unfortunately, Chang Shouchong was traveling at that time and had not returned. A few days ago, he returned to Shenxu Temple and saw Gongsun Zhe's letter for help. He immediately sent four of his disciples to help and accepted Gongsun Zhe's orders.
Gongsun Zhe was overjoyed.
He introduced Li Chu to several people, and when he mentioned that he came from Deyun Temple in Shilipo outside the town, several disciples of Shenxu Temple showed some disapproval in their eyes.
Shenxu Temple is a famous Taoist sect with a thousand-year heritage and a high status. It is also a first-class sect second only to the Twelve Immortal Sects in the martial arts world. Facing this kind of rural Taoist priest, it is normal to feel a little arrogant.
Li Chu nodded politely.
He is always very polite and doesn't care what others think of him.
The young Taoist priest leading the Shenxu Temple said directly: "Since we are here, the safety of Lord Gongsun will naturally be our responsibility. It is best for outsiders not to interfere."
When he spoke, he didn't even look at Li Chu.
Although they both belong to the Taoist sect, the gap between their status is as huge as an indestructible chasm, and not everyone is worthy of being called a fellow Taoist.
Gongsun Zhe's expression changed and he looked a little unhappy. He glanced at his daughter beside him.
Gongsun Rou stood up and said, "Master Xiao Li saved our lives. He is a great benefactor to my father and me. Although you are disciples of famous families, you are new here and are not familiar with the situation here. You may still need Master Xiao Li's help."
The young Taoist priest's attitude towards her was quite gentle. He said slowly, "Master ordered us to come here and let you do whatever you want. If Miss Gongsun insists on keeping him, we naturally have no objection. I just think... it's not necessary."
Gongsun Rou's eyebrows moved, as if she wanted to say something.
At this time, Li Chu said: "It's fine if I'm not needed here. I also want to go back to Deyun Temple."
He was indeed happy to have someone to replace him.
He didn't level up or make any money these days, and he gained nothing except replenishing his kidneys...
Although Gongsun Rou was reluctant, since Li Chu wanted to leave, she had no choice but to send Li Chu out reluctantly.
There was an ugly Taoist priest in the Shenxu Temple team. When he saw this scene, he angrily muttered, "Little pretty boy."
I guess it brings back some unhappy memories.
The leading young Taoist priest looked at Gongsun Rou's graceful back, a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes.
snort.
…
Seeing the colorful flowers and green willows of Shili Slope from afar, Li Chu felt relieved.
Finally back to the familiar home.
Staring blankly in the hall, having dinner with the master, and then going to the Liu family haunted house to level up, what a pleasant and comfortable pace of life.
But soon he was stunned.
It was as if I saw some unfamiliar scene.
The renovation of Deyun Temple has been completed, and its size has nearly doubled, mainly due to the expansion of the backyard.
But this didn't make him feel strange. What made him feel strange was...
The courtyard in front was now full of people, and the line had already stretched out the door.
It looks like a crowded place.
Is it still the Deyun Temple that you are familiar with?
Especially the women in the queue, after seeing Li Chu, they suddenly burst into chaotic screams, and some of the brave ones even rushed over directly.
Li Chu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Danger!
Turn around and run.
After a lot of twists and turns, he finally shook off the crowd and climbed into the front yard.
Her hairpin was askew, her clothes were disheveled, and there were red stains on her face.
Good job.
Even when facing the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, he had never been so embarrassed.
When we got back to the Taoist temple, we saw Yu Qian'an sitting cross-legged on a cushion, looking like an immortal. Xiao Yue'er, dressed as a nun, was kneeling beside him obediently, holding a small basket in her hands.
They all looked very tired.
The crowd who were originally burning incense all ran out to chase Li Chu, so they took a short rest.
The Koi girl looked at Li Chu and was lost in memories for a moment. It took a while before she smiled: "Master? You're back."
Li Chu was quite touched to see that she still remembered him.
After seeing Xiao Yue'er's attire, he asked in surprise, "Miss Yue'er is also a Taoist priest?"
"I just asked her to wear this to help with the reception. When you're not around, everyone likes to look for Xiaoyue'er when they have something to do."
Yu Qian'an said, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.
Perhaps it was because the former idol of middle-aged and elderly women in Yuhang Town suddenly fell to the third most popular person in Deyun Temple, which caused her to feel a huge gap in popularity.
"Why?" Li Chu asked.
"Because they all like to hear me bless them, hehe." Xiaoyue said with a smile.
"At first, an old woman saw Yue'er in a Taoist temple and told her about her family. Little Yue'er said, "I wish you all your wishes come true." As a result, she really gave birth to a big fat boy when she returned home."
"Um?"
"Oh, it was her daughter-in-law who gave birth to the child." Yu Qian'an explained hurriedly: "After that, several other people received Xiaoyue'er's blessing, and all of them fulfilled their wishes. Xiaoyue'er is famous in the area. Now if anyone has any wishes, they should come and tell her and ask for a lucky charm to take back."
Li Chu glanced at the basket in Xiaoyue'er's hand, and sure enough, it was filled with beautifully folded amulets.
He was a little surprised: "Xiao Yue'er can draw talismans?"
The reason why he was surprised was that Deyun Temple had never sold talismans before.
He won't.
And the master...never gets distracted on these little paths.
"No." Xiaoyue shook her head and denied it.
"She is a koi fish, so it doesn't matter what you draw." Yu Qian'an smiled and said, "Now the lucky charms drawn by Xiaoyue can be sold for 500 coins each."
Li Chu was even more surprised this time.
Two talismans like this cost one or two taels of silver. Judging from the number of pilgrims outside, I'm afraid hundreds of them can be sold in a day.
This is faster than picking up money.
He couldn't help but hold Xiaoyue'er's hand affectionately and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Xiaoyue was a little confused, but she felt like she was being praised and was happy.
Of course, among so many pilgrims, Xiaoyue'er's fame only accounts for a small part, and most of them come because of Li Chucai's fame.
Due to the commotion caused by Li Chu's first appearance, the master and his disciples decided to temporarily close the temple.
Li Chu thought that he would have to put up a sign outside tomorrow that said "Respect Taoist priests and burn incense in a civilized manner."
Well... I have to add that touching is prohibited and violators will be fined.
Severe punishment.
He had just closed the door and was about to go back to the backyard to rest when he heard knocks on the door.
"Sorry, we're closed today. Please come earlier tomorrow." Li Chu said.
"Li Chu? Is that you, Li Chu? Open the door, I need your help with something!" A surprised voice came from outside the door.
It’s Wang Longqi.
Li Chu's heart moved, as if he saw friendship shining before his eyes.
Thanks to "拾年喵魔王" for the 100 rewards.
