The two-month summer vacation is neither long nor short.
After Ji Miaomiao entered the body-entering stage, she had too many things to do every day, and there was never enough time to do one thing after another. Naturally, these two months passed by in a flash for her.
It doesn't feel real!
So when she heard her master Daoming Zhenren come back and remind her that it was time to prepare for college, she was dazed for a moment.
"Disciple, have you decided whether to live on campus or rent an apartment off campus?"
Taoist Master Daoming was still in his Taoist robe, stroking his long beard, looking at her with a smile and asking her about her plans.
Ji Miaomiao was originally drawing talismans in the front hall. Upon hearing this, she put down her brush and pondered for a moment before saying, "Master, I plan to live on campus first, and then consider other things after I get familiar with the school's curriculum."
"Hmm." Taoist Master Daoming nodded slightly.
His little apprentice has always had his own ideas and has thought about this matter, so as their master, he doesn't need to say much.
Let’s finish this topic.
Ji Miaomiao remembered something and looked up at Daoming Zhenren who had suddenly returned. She asked curiously, "Master, didn't you just come down the mountain yesterday? Why are you back so early this morning?"
Taoist Master Daoming would usually take a cloth bag filled with amulets and sell them slowly at the foot of the mountain every few days, and he would not be back for three to five days.
During this period, Ji Miaomiao drew more talisman papers suitable for sale, and she always gave a stack to Taoist Master Daoming to sell together.
Since it was an elementary talisman, Taoist Master Daoming sold it at a high price.
One ticket costs five hundred yuan.
With an egg costing only fifty cents, this talisman was undoubtedly a luxury item. Needless to say, its sales were very poor, and many people backed off when asked about the price.
There are also those with bad tempers who curse and point at the talisman and say things like "You're crazy about money."
Although Ji Miaomiao did not go down the mountain with them later, she did hear Taoist Daoming complain about the situation inadvertently, and she could imagine the general situation.
But when Taoist Daoming came back, he had nothing in his hands. It was obvious that he had sold everything he brought down the mountain. Ji Miaomiao couldn't help but feel strange about this situation.
"Disciple, I was just about to tell you about this. This... is a long story."
Taoist Master Daoming sighed, sat on a chair nearby, organized his words, and slowly recounted the entire story.
It turns out that yesterday was the weekend.
There are many more tourists coming and going on Fairy Peak than usual.
As usual, Taoist Master Daoming spread the cloth bag he brought on the ground and chatted with the tourists who sat down to rest on the mountain road. Unexpectedly, a group of people came at this moment.
The leader was a middle-aged, slightly plump man with a sweaty face. He approached and asked directly, "Master... Taoist priest, are you selling talismans to ward off evil spirits at this stall?"
The man was breathing heavily while speaking and was supported by a big man dressed in a suit and dressed as a bodyguard next to him. He did not look like an ordinary person.
The tourists who were originally chatting with Taoist Master Daoming stopped talking and moved aside.
Taoist Master Daoming has been selling talismans to ward off evil spirits for some time. In order to make it easier for tourists to understand the effects, he directly explains that the talisman paper can ward off evil spirits.
Some tourists are superstitious about this. They are not short of money and think that it is fate if they come across it, so they buy one or more tickets to feel at ease.
From the middle-aged man's question, it was clear that he had already inquired about it before coming.
Taoist Master Daoming smiled when he heard this, and quickly looked at these people, especially the middle-aged man who had just spoken.
Seeing the gold necklace around his neck, the leather shoes on his feet and the Rolex watch on his wrist, I knew that this middle-aged man was wealthy. I also saw that there seemed to be anxiety in his eyes and boredom between his brows.
Taoist Master Daoming estimated that this person was unlikely to cause trouble. Confident in the efficacy of his own talismans, he nodded and said to the middle-aged man, "I have some talismans for sale. Would you like to buy one?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man didn't even bother to breathe, his eyes full of surprise as he said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's the evil-avoiding talisman! I want to buy it. Taoist priest, I want all you have."
After saying this, the middle-aged man turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Give the money to the Taoist priest!"
A burly man in a black suit stepped forward behind the middle-aged man and opened a suitcase in his hand, revealing a box full of cash.
The tourists who were standing nearby looked at the box of cash and exclaimed in surprise.
"ah!"
“So much money!!”
"Look, over there!!"
These movements attracted tourists from afar who had no intention of stopping. In a short time, a group of people gathered and surrounded Taoist Master Daoming and the middle-aged man.
"Master, do you think this money is enough? If not, I can go down the mountain to get more." The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to other people, but said seriously to Taoist Master Daoming.
Taoist Master Daoming tried to maintain a smile on his face, but as he saw more and more people gathered around him, he almost couldn't keep the smile on his face.
He said, "You're joking, believer. These pieces of talisman paper are not worth so much money. You'd better put the money away."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man looked around and realized that what he had done was not appropriate. He immediately gave a look to several bodyguards.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see."
“Don’t look at it, don’t look at it!!”
Seeing this, several bodyguards stepped aside and skillfully dispersed the crowd of tourists who had gathered to watch in a short time.
Now, only Taoist Master Daoming and the middle-aged man and his group were left there, with no other onlookers.
When the middle-aged man saw everyone leave, he smiled and apologized, "Master, I was inappropriate just now."
Seeing the situation had come to this, Dao Ming Zhenren could only stroke his long beard, his expression unchanged, and said in a gentle voice with a smile, "It's okay."
