Fulu subconsciously pressed his chest, and an indescribable emotion rose from his chest.
Xihe couldn't help but wipe her eyes. How could she see a ray of light falling on Fulu? However, when she looked more closely, there was nothing there. The small village gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
After another day of walking, they stopped in a town. Unexpectedly, the town was very lively.
The common people walked out of the city in groups, carrying grains, fruits, chickens, ducks, fish and meat... It was understandable in times of peace, but now in times of famine, they were so generous.
Xihe couldn't help but look up at the sky. It was already evening.
"Miss, are they going to worship? But it's dark now."
Carrying so many things, wrapped with red cloth and red rope, can only be used for activities such as offering sacrifices and worship.
Xihe was about to say something when Fulu had already struggled to get out of the car and followed the team out of the city. She had no time to explain and could only let Alu go into the city to find an inn first. She picked up the dagger from the secret chamber and hurriedly followed.
The villagers had a clear goal and walked quickly, and soon they arrived at a barren mountain outside the city.
It is said to be a barren mountain, but in fact, apart from a few houses, the surrounding area is bare and there is not even a tree.
Xihe followed Fulu and asked, "Could the antlers be here?"
Fulu lay on the driver's back, staring quietly at the magnificent Taoist temple in front of him. Invisible white gas floated out of the temple, circulated on the mountain, and finally landed in the temple. That was the manifestation of divine power that only he could see.
The people walked to the Taoist temple, respectfully handed the offerings to the Taoist priest at the door, took a stick and walked in.
Xihe could see clearly that the color of the lot was different, the cheaper the sacrifice, the lighter the look, and vice versa. As far as she could see, only a few young ladies and ladies carried in sedan chairs got the red lot.
When it was their turn, Xihe thought for a moment and took a jewel from the dagger and placed it on the table.
The old Taoist priest with a long face and triangular eyes: "..."
Xihe looked at him: "Not accepting it?"
She usually only carries the jade pendant when she goes out. She has her own shop wherever she goes, so she doesn't have to worry about anything. Therefore, she has never thought of carrying silver or gold. But this gem is also very expensive.
Xihe stretched out his hand: "Let me change another one..."
"No, just this!"
The old Taoist priest quickly put the jade token into his pocket and threw it to them, which was deep red in color.
Xihe took it with a smile, waved her hand, and led the two into the yard. At a glance, there was a bustling crowd.
The decoration of Ziyu Temple was extremely luxurious and high-end, almost like an imperial palace, except for the golden bricks paved on the ground. There was no trace of the Taoist simplicity and naturalness at all... The three were led into a room and saw a Taoist priest inside.
With long eyebrows drooping and a smile on his face, he only asked what the two people wanted.
Xi He smiled and said, "We only want the pendant in the hand of the Three Pure Ones in the main hall. I wonder if your abbot is willing to part with it?"
She saw it as soon as she entered the door. It was hanging brightly on the hand of the ancestor, and it was hard to ignore it.
Taoist Changmei: ...
He flicked his whisk and smiled calmly, "Why don't you two think of another wish?"
Xihe was extremely stubborn: "I want this one."
He slammed the dagger on the table. The sunlight was bright and the inlaid gems shone brightly, dazzling the eyes.
Gouzi was speechless: "Are you planning to pass this mission just by spending money?" This kind of operation... dimensionality reduction and suppression is simply unfair.
Xihe didn't know why it was howling. Could it be jealous?
Xihe slapped it away, and the dog immediately came up to Fulu, wagging its tail, rubbing Fulu's palm with sobs. Fulu, stunned for a long time, finally came to his senses and said to Taoist Changmei, "Please give this some more thought."
Xihe nodded: "That's right!"
Otherwise she would have to snatch it away by force, even though it was not in her style.
After all, she is a gentle little fairy. You just need to sit back and watch. There is no need to be so rude.
Gouzi: ...Ugh.
Taoist Changmei's smile faded, he flicked his whisk, and closed his eyes: "See you out."
Several strong Taoist priests glared at him fiercely. The driver's legs went weak and he almost fell. Xihe held Fulu, who was beside him. Fulu's eyes were dark, and Xihe squeezed his hand: "Don't be impatient."
Palm-sized, pointed antlers were hung in front of the Taoist temple for people to watch.
The group was driven out, their steps in disarray.
Xihe smiled happily: "It's okay, it's okay, we'll go again in the evening."
He did what he said. As soon as it got dark, Xihe took Fulu over the high wall, dodged the patrolling guards, and came to the ancestor. Fulu stretched out his hand and the thing fell into his hand automatically.
Xihe quickly asked: "How is it? Is everything okay?"
It was my first time doing something sneaky, and I felt a little excited for some reason.
The deer antlers were sent to the top of his head, and their antlers slowly disappeared on his head. In an instant, the air of old age on him diminished, and a few strands of black gradually appeared in his gray hair.
Xihe's eyes widened instantly, and even the wrinkles on his old face became less.
Fulu lowered his eyes and looked at her: "I can't leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Xihe could react, a golden light flashed, and in an instant an iron cage descended from where they were. A Taoist priest wearing a wide Taoist robe flew over and slapped a few talismans on it.
The middle-aged Taoist priest said grimly, "You are so brave to steal from me!"
Xihe: “…”
Young Taoist priest, you react quite quickly.
Xihe put his hand on the iron cage, and felt pain in his hand, and his fingertips were bleeding.
A group of Taoist priests rushed over from a distance. Seeing the two people in the cage, they immediately showed angry expressions and asked the middle-aged Taoist priest what to do with them. The Taoist priest's face turned dark and said, "Catch them and put them in the dungeon!"
A quarter of an hour later, the two men sat in the dungeon, followed closely by the middle-aged Taoist priest.
He glanced at Xihe, then walked straight in front of Fulu: "Hand over the things!"
Fu Lu glanced at him, lowered his eyelids and ignored him. The middle-aged Taoist's face immediately turned dark, and he laughed sinisterly twice: "Okay, okay!" He stretched out his hand, and a piece of talisman paper immediately flew towards Fu Lu and stuck to his body. The next moment, fire started.
Xihe was shocked: "How dare you, old man!"
He kicked open the prison door, rushed to the middle-aged Taoist priest, and started beating him up, making the Taoist priest see stars.
Now, the Taoist priest finally realized that he had hit a wall. These two people clearly let themselves be caught on purpose.
Xihe stepped on the Taoist priest and searched his body. He found a lot of talismans, some for raising villains, some for controlling people, and some with evil spirits... Xihe couldn't bear it anymore and beat him again.
"Old bastard, not only do you use things to oppress the people, but you also do something so vicious!"
"I'll let you raise villains and use your divine power recklessly."
"You are so vicious..."
Fu Lu brushed off the smell of cigarettes on his body, coughed twice, and slowly walked over: "Ask him where he sent Wang Tielin's child?"
