Chapter 135 Reunion
After confirming that Lin Hanzhi was not stupid enough to catch a cold, Qi Gu felt relieved. After maintaining Ge You's posture for half an hour, he stood up and resigned himself to going to the side room to pack up the sachets that needed to be consecrated.
During the trip, I met a few pilgrims who were eager to try and take away some incense ash from the incense burner. In the end, they gave up because they could not confirm whether it was the incense burned by Qi Gu.
After all, it is better not to bring other people's desires and distractions back with you.
Qi Gu moved very quickly and finished the preparations in a short time. He then placed the sachet quietly under the incense table.
Just as I was about to go back to the backyard, I saw a familiar short figure in the bustling crowd. It was Niu An. She was wearing a brightly colored floral dress today, which was a bit strange for someone of her age, so many pilgrims were secretly glancing at her.
Niu An himself felt that he was dressed too extravagantly and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Qi Gu took two or three steps forward and held Niu An's loose arm: "Teacher Niu, why didn't you call me when you came so that I could receive you."
"I've already troubled you all night yesterday, how can I trouble you again today? You young people all have your own careers to take care of, I know." Niu An said, trying to struggle out of Qi Gu's hand, "If you have something to do, just go and do it. You really don't have to waste my time."
"It has been taken care of. Now I will concentrate on accompanying you." Qi Gu said as he introduced to Niu An several gods enshrined in the temple and the directions they were in charge of.
Niu An made different wishes according to what Qi Gu said, that each god had different management directions.
Nowadays, many young people follow the trend of praying to gods and Buddhas, but when they enter Taoist temples, they just start praying and worshipping randomly. Some even kneel down to ask Guanyin for wealth and fortune. It is outrageous that this can have any effect.
After taking Niu An to worship the gods in the main hall one by one, the two of them came hand in hand to the small shrine outside the door. Qi Gu said, "If you want to see the master, you can pray here."
Niu An nodded in agreement, lit three incense sticks on the candlestick, closed his eyes and looked extremely pious. After a long while, she opened her eyes, inserted the incense stick into the candlestick, and said in a somewhat desolate tone: "For the rest, we can only do our best and leave it to fate."
Qi Gu supported her: "Please wait a moment."
He also took three incense sticks, lit them with his spiritual light, and said with his eyes closed: "Master, please do this quickly. I will come back and bring you a roast chicken later."
Ever since he discovered that his master might still be in the heaven and earth, Qi Gu no longer obsessed with offerings such as incense, and instead preferred foods that his master liked during his lifetime, or foods that he had never tasted.
At that time, he was also surprised to find that the food offered to the master had lost its original color, aroma and taste, obviously having been enjoyed.
This made Qi Gu feel happy, as if he had regained the secret and connection with his master.
Qi Gu opened his eyes and saw Niu An looking at him in surprise. He could not explain and just said, "Shall I take you to lunch? What do you want to eat?"
He knows all the shops outside Fu'ai Temple.
Finally, the two had lunch together at a local restaurant outside, and then Qi Gu watched Niu An walk up and down the stairs.
He didn't ask why Niu An, who always dressed plainly, wore such a bright skirt today, like a blooming spring flower, but he vaguely guessed something.
…
That night, Niu An lay in bed, so excited that he could hardly fall asleep. He asked his daughter-in-law for melatonin and took it, then he fell into a drowsy sleep.
In her dream, she was wearing the gorgeous long dress that looked like spring flowers when she married her husband, and she saw her husband again among the fragrant grass and flowers, whom she had not dreamed of for a long time.
She leaned on his shoulder as she did when she was young, asking him why he refused to come into her dream.
The husband stroked her long hair gently and said, "I want you to stop indulging in the dream of me. I want you to have a new life. It's not easy to raise a child alone... If someone could take care of you for me..."
"Without anyone else, I can take good care of the child by myself. The only bad thing is that you don't come to see me." Niu An said viciously, but she couldn't help but hug her husband's waist with both hands and let her tears fall on his shoulder.
"I won't do that again. I will work hard doing odd jobs downstairs and earn ghost money so that I can come to see you in your dreams." The husband was full of guilt and apologized over and over again.

After seeing Niu An off, Qi Gu’s social energy was exhausted and he completely became a useless person. He went back to his room, collapsed, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already evening.
The Taoist temple has closed and the helpers have all left, and it is no longer as bustling as it was during the day. The message alert on the phone kept flashing, so Qi slid to unlock it.
The top one is Mu Xingchen’s 10+ prompt, and below it is Lin Hanzhi’s 3+.
Qi Gu's fingertips paused, and subconsciously clicked on the message sent by Lin Hanzhi first - he thought, Mu Xingchen talked too much nonsense, so he should read Lin Hanzhi's first.
Lin Hanzhi sent a picture of Sanyin City from an airplane's bird's-eye view, with the caption: [Landing soon]
[Hanzhi: It is indeed quite cold]
Qi Gu clicked on the picture and saw the black air wrapped around a corner of the bird's-eye view. His brows furrowed. Qi Gu circled that area and sent it to Lin Hanzhi: [It's not peaceful here, don't go there]
When Lin Hanzhi received the message, he was standing on the piece of land circled by Qi Gu. Because the thing was still hidden, he could only hold the bone blade in boredom and scratch it unconsciously on a wooden stake.
The cell phone rang, and Lin Hanzhi came back to his senses, realizing that he had carved another picture of Qi Gu's profile on the wooden stake.
Not to mention, it’s carved very beautifully. When the mission is over, why don’t you carry this wooden stake back? Lin Hanzhi thought like a pervert with his handsome face.
Xiao Wang, a staff member of the local Abnormal Control Bureau in Shanyin City, looked at the two leaders who came from above with a hard time describing. One of them was destroying public property and scribbling, while the other was holding a cell phone and picking up lolita skirts...
He hesitated for a moment and clicked on a dy short video.
If we want to slack off, of course we should do it together!
Suddenly, the leader without public morality stood up abruptly and stuffed the bone blade as thin as a cicada's wing into his sleeve.
Xiao Wang was startled and hurriedly threw his phone away, then became alert.
Then I heard the leader say in that lazy and sexy voice: "Don't worry, I value my life and will definitely not go to an unclean place."
Release your finger and the voice message is sent.
Xiao Wang lowered his head in confusion, looking at the eerie land beneath his feet.
Xiao Wang: “…”
With this ability to tell lies, it’s no wonder that he is a leader.
After Lin Hanzhi sent the voice message, he still felt it was not enough, so he picked out an emoticon pack of "puppy smiling silly" and sent it over, and only then was he satisfied.
On the other side, Qi Gu looked at the puppy with a bright smile and thought the picture was cute, so he long-pressed it and saved it.
Where on earth did Lin Hanzhi get so many cute emoticons? Qi Gu leaned his elbow on his face and pondered.
