Chapter 7
Luo Hengzhi saw more than they did; she saw those souls, after regaining consciousness, being forced to accept their struggles after death.
And then they would pick up the pen and paper in front of them, lie on their own corpses, and one last time tell this world about their lingering attachment to life and their obsession with it.
So it turns out that even souls can cry, and souls have tears, but those tears can no longer wet the paper in front of them!
Luo Hengzhi looked up, her gaze complex as she looked at Ye Zi in mid-air, who was now surrounded by a layer of golden light.
Then, the golden light also moved onto part of his body.
I've heard that doing good deeds brings merit.
Is this merit? Luo Hengzhi looked at the faint golden light surrounding him. Because of the Daoist Couple Contract, he had been allocated the merit that originally belonged only to Ye Zi!
Luo Hengzhi's gaze shifted to Ye Zi. Ye Zi, whose temperament was already aloof and distant, was now even more ethereal, sacred, and unapproachable!
Luo Hengzhi was somewhat dazed at this moment. The cultivator he saw was aloof and compassionate, saving all living beings, while the cultivator in his dream was passionate but took his life!
What exactly are cultivators?
After filling out the information, some chose to go home and visit again, while others, having no lingering attachments, directly chose reincarnation and rebirth.
Furthermore, some people who had suffered injustices and were still obsessed with the matter clung to Ye Zi, begging her to help them seek justice and revenge immediately.
Ye Zi stared expressionlessly at the wailing and noisy remnant soul, her eyes as distant and indifferent as ever, resembling a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
"You have already written your grievance, and the city lord will right your case." Ye Zi said calmly, "If that still cannot resolve your grievance, then go to the Lingju Temple on Wuming Mountain to find me."
Upon hearing the first sentence, Luo Hengzhi thought Ye Zi wouldn't care, but she didn't expect this cultivator to be so kind and generous. Could he be a cold-faced but warm-hearted person?
[There are a lot of people here, which is a good opportunity to promote the Taoist temple and spread the reputation of Lingju Temple, making it easier to get jobs and make money!] Ye Zi silently calculated in her heart.
Luo Hengzhi: "......"
Luo Hengzhi had just been marveling at how kind-hearted this cultivator was when she heard Ye Zi's thoughts.
Sure enough, this cultivator is still a greedy and avaricious person!
Immediately afterwards, Luo Hengzhi saw Ye Zi walk up to the dark-skinned giant and skillfully take out the payment code: "Ritual, 200."
"Huh?" The big man was stunned for a moment, then quickly scanned the QR code with his phone and said respectfully, "Master, it only cost 200 yuan. This ritual was really good value for money. Master, would it be convenient for me to add you as a friend? I'll contact you again if I need any more rituals in the future."
"If you need anything, just go to Lingju Temple on Wuming Mountain!" Ye Zi saw that 200 had been deposited into her account, put away her phone, and walked to Luo Hengzhi's side.
"Let's go, let's go back first." With the matter settled, the remaining tasks would be handled by the public officials sent by the city lord. Ye Zi pulled Luo Hengzhi away and disappeared in front of everyone.
Luo Hengzhi thought Ye Zi would ask for an exorbitant price, but when she saw that Ye Zi only accepted 200, to be honest, given Ye Zi's abilities and skills, 200 was really too little for this ritual, but Luo Hengzhi didn't say anything to remind her.
This practitioner isn't greedy, but he doesn't bother to check the market prices first. For large-scale rituals like this, the minimum cost is 20,000, and some can even cost hundreds of thousands.
Greedy and unable to do basic accounting, this cultivator is truly unfathomable!
Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi returned to the Huo family. Huo Zhongkui had already woken up, but his complexion was still a little pale, and he needed to rest for a while.
"Master, the person hasn't shown up." Seeing that the deathly aura in the room had dissipated, Ye Zi waved her hand and dispelled the sword formation in the room.
"Go back. I'm worried about leaving your junior brothers alone on the mountain." In the past, Ye Zi was the only one to take care of the three little ones. This time, things were urgent, and leaving the three little ones alone made Master Yunqing a little uneasy. He said this as he was about to leave with Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi.
"Master, wait a moment, I have something to discuss with the Huo family," Ye Zi said to Huo Qinglei.
"What is it, fairy? Please speak freely. If it is within the Huo family's power, we will do our utmost to help." Master Yunqing had saved her father again, but only accepted 500 coins. Huo Qinglei felt that Master Yunqing's request was far too little and insufficient.
Huo Qinglei was worried about not being able to give out the money when Ye Zi's words instantly gave him a chance to repay her kindness.
"Does your Huo family also do business in the restoration of ancient buildings?" Ye Zi asked.
"Yes." Huo Lei nodded subconsciously, but he looked at Ye Zi with confusion, wondering why the fairy suddenly asked about his family's business.
"Is 2 million enough to repair the gate and main hall?" Ye Zi didn't waste any time and directly took out her phone, opened the photos of the Taoist temple and showed them to Huo Qinglei.
Looking at the dilapidated Taoist temple in the picture, Huo Lei wondered if this was the Taoist temple of the immortals. It turned out that the immortals lived in such poverty.
Huo Qinglei, who had been tempered in the business world since childhood, replied without thinking like a confused novice: "Enough, enough. 2 million is more than enough to repair the entire Taoist temple."
"Really? Are you sure? This is ancient building restoration." Ye Zi looked incredulous; she had checked the prices.
Didn't she know that prices in this industry have recently dropped drastically?
Ye Zi still cautiously reminded him, "Mr. Huo, wouldn't you like to confirm before you reply?"
"No need to confirm anymore. Just leave the pictures, Fairy. I'll have the list ready by tomorrow morning, and you can compare the prices then." Huo Qinglei said with great certainty.
"Okay." Seeing Huo Qinglei's confidence and hearing that there was a list, Ye Zi knew the price was reasonable and decided to discuss it in detail tomorrow.
Luo Hengzhi stood by and watched. He owned a renovation company and had been to Lingju Temple. Lingju Temple was actually quite large, but too many buildings had collapsed and been abandoned. He knew that at the market price of 2 million, only the main gate and main hall could be repaired, and at most a side hall could be added.
Furthermore, although Lingju Temple looks dilapidated, anyone with discerning eyes can tell that it was once glorious, built with rare materials, and naturally, the repair materials must also be of high quality.
It seems that this cultivator is not completely unaware of the market situation, but why is it that when he takes on a job, he doesn't even know the price of a religious ceremony?
After Ye Zi finished her discussion, Master Yun Qing led Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi back to Lingju Temple.
"There's no rush to repair the Taoist temple," Master Yunqing suddenly said as they arrived at the temple entrance.
"Master, I'll earn the money. You don't need to worry about these little things anymore." Ye Zi looked at her master's already white hair, which seemed even whiter. Her master had used up a lot of spiritual energy to save Huo Zhongkui today.
"Master, Senior Sister!" The three junior brothers ran out excitedly to greet the three of them. "Brother-in-law looks good in this outfit."
Luo Hengzhi smiled at his junior brothers, accepted their gifts, and naturally became even more amiable towards them.
"Did you play a trick on anyone?" Master Yunqing was worried that his little disciple might bully someone since he hadn't seen Luo Yi appear.
"No, my eldest brother isn't here. He's already gone down the mountain and is safely down," the junior brother quickly waved his hand and said.
Only then did Luo Hengzhi have time to turn on her phone and receive a message from Luo Yi, confirming that Luo Yi had indeed returned to Tianlong Pavilion.
"Master, we made money today! Now we'll have money to repair the Taoist temple!" The little junior brother tugged at Master Yunqing's clothes, reaching out for a hug.
While Yun Qing Zhenren and Ye Zi were talking to their junior brother, Luo Hengzhi walked to the side and sent Luo Yi a few messages.
Now that he has left the Luo family and stood up again, there are some things that should be settled properly. That car accident was not an accident, and Luo Hengzhi knows who was behind it.
Previously, being in the Luo family and having difficulty walking, I couldn't do many things freely.
Now, it's time to properly repay his two good cousins and let his second uncle taste the fruits of his labor.
"Don't worry, boss!"
Upon receiving the message, Luo Yi immediately replied with four words: everything was prepared in advance, and they were just waiting for the boss's order.
Furthermore, Luo Hengzhi instructed Luo Yi to prepare some return gifts for his junior brothers, preferably food, as children are fond of snacks. Besides, he was 'penniless' and his wealth was only enough to buy some small treats.
Luo Yi quickly replied: "Received, Boss. The little fairies are living in poverty, and they are very innocent. I will bring more snacks that the children like tomorrow. Also, congratulations on entering Lingju Temple. The immortals in Lingju Temple are all kind-hearted people. Congratulations on your marriage to Fairy Ye Zi."
A purely virtuous person?! Luo Hengzhi sneered.
I couldn't help but look up at the huge rock in front of Lingju Temple and saw the words "Cultivators defy the heavens and disregard life and death". Just what kind of place is Lingju Temple?
"Little Shen Mu, didn't our senior brother tell us not to say this?" Junior Brother Jiang Yuzhi quickly reminded him when he saw his little junior brother let something slip.
"Uh..." Little junior brother Shen Mu quickly covered his mouth and apologized, "Junior brother, I'm sorry, I was so happy that I forgot."
"What's going on?" Ye Zi raised her hand and grabbed her junior brother Yan Yan's ear, questioning him sternly.
"Senior Sister, don't pull my ears! I was wrong, I'll tell you!" Junior Brother Yan covered his ears and pleaded desperately.
Luo Hengzhi, who was watching this scene from the side, found it amusing. It was surprising that a cultivator could be so down-to-earth when he was beating someone. He even felt that Ye Zi, who could destroy the world with a wave of her hand, had become more human and her personality seemed to have become more vivid.
“We just wanted to sell some things online, so we asked Brother Luo to help us open a small online shop. We’ve already sold some robes and talismans today. Brother Luo just came down the mountain to help us send them out.” Yan Yan’s words were all true, and he honestly confessed.
"Senior Sister, please don't hit Senior Brother. We did it together." Junior Brother Jiang Yuzhi offered his palm so that his senior sister could hit him.
"It was my fault, hit me all you want, I shouldn't have said those things. My fellow disciples just wanted to earn more money, we just wanted to build the temple." The little junior brother became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and tears fell down his face.
"You all want to build a Taoist temple?" Master Yunqing looked at his disciple, who was crying his eyes out, with a pained expression, and wiped away the tears from Xiao Shenmu's face.
“Master is working too hard all by himself. We just want to do something to help.” Jiang Yuzhi also cried. “The bricks and tiles of that main hall have long been broken, and the ancestor’s golden statue is no longer shining. It needs to be repaired.”
"Master, the shop just opened today and we've already received several orders." Senior Brother Yan Yan was excited but also a little disappointed. His junior brothers' robes and amulets were all sold, but no one had placed an order for his pills.
"Let Master think about it some more." Master Yunqing handed the small Shenmu to Ye Zi and turned to go to the room.
"Senior Sister, doesn't Master want to repair the Taoist temple?" Jiang Yuzhi looked at the closed door of Master's room, her eyes dimming. "But every time Master looks at the ancestor's golden statue, I can feel that Master wants to repair it."
[How could Master not want to cultivate, but...]
Luo Hengzhi suddenly heard Ye Zi's inner thoughts, only the first part, and then nothing more.
