Chapter 311 The Entrustment of the Guardian God
Mr. Lu changed his mind and thought of his eldest daughter-in-law again.
She was already seriously ill when she was driven away and was unaware of it. Now her second son...that bastard has also committed a crime and been arrested.
The eldest daughter-in-law is the most sensible and reasonable. As long as I claim that I have vented her anger and send someone to pick her up, she will definitely not refuse!
By then, the guardian angel will be able to return here and naturally bless me with health and longevity. Will I still need this Master Qingyun?
Thinking about it this way, he felt that the reason why Yun Qingqing asked for such a high price, directly asking for one hundred thousand taels, was because she knew very well that once he brought back the guardian angel, she would have no chance!
That's why I can't wait to get the money first.
Thinking of this, Mr. Lu felt relieved. He sneered and said in a pretentious tone:
"Butler, go get a thousand taels of silver to send Master Qingyun off."
"Hiss... Old man..." The old doctor didn't expect that he really didn't intend to treat him, and couldn't help but want to remind him.
But he was interrupted by Mr. Lu just after he started:
"Old sir, there's no need to say more. I know my own illness very well, so I won't bother you with any more worries."
The old doctor was choked back by his words and felt uncomfortable, so he simply shut up and said no more.
"Zhiluo, go take a look at the river."
Yun Qingqing just gave Zhiluo a look and she understood.
"Okay, wait for my news." Zhiluo flashed and disappeared from sight.
Yun Qingqing waited for a while, took the banknote and prepared to leave Lu's mansion.
Yan Haochu had someone escort Lu Yu away, and he had been waiting by the side, and only then went with her.
After walking a few steps, Yun Qingqing turned and looked at him:
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Yan Haochu touched the back of his head and chuckled:
"Actually, our newly appointed Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice has been having some problems lately. He's been wanting to go to Tianming Pavilion for a fortune-telling, but there have been so many people seeking fortune-telling lately that he hasn't been able to get a number despite queuing several times."
"I have a pretty good relationship with him, so I was wondering if you could meet him. I'd like to say I owe you a favor."
Yun Qingqing understood.
Although Yan Haochu dealt with her frequently, she always sent someone to inform him. He didn't have any needs in normal times, so he couldn't enter Tianming Pavilion on his own.
I guess this person originally planned to go to Su Anrong to deliver a message, and just happened to encounter today's incident, so he quickly told her the situation.
"Okay, I'll go back to Tianming Pavilion now, you can bring him over." She nodded and took out a wooden badge and handed it to Yan Haochu.
"With this badge, you can come to Tianming Pavilion anytime if you need anything."
Yan Haochu didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. He smiled from ear to ear. He carefully put away the pass and hurried back to the Ministry of Justice to find someone.
At this time, just outside the gate of Lu Mansion, the road was very secluded.
Yun Qingqing walked forward for a while, and suddenly there was a burst of clapping and laughter from the side of the road.
She stopped and looked up at a big tree. Among the dense branches and leaves, there was a child of five or six years old sitting. His legs were swinging on the thick branches. He was looking at her with his eyes curved and smiling, with two dimples on his cheeks.
"Hehe~, you are indeed the Master of Tianming Pavilion. You have calculated everything about the Lu family."
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly:
"Didn't you secretly push Lu Yu to find out about Tianming Pavilion and bring me to his house?"
The little baby's big dark eyes blinked, and the pupils suddenly changed. The originally black grape-like eyes turned into dark golden vertical pupils.
"Then Pavilion Master, why don't you also calculate what I am seeking from you?"
His voice was childish, which was totally inconsistent with the tone and content of his words.
Yun Qingqing didn't find it strange at all and looked at him as usual:
"You escaped death that year, but only your spirit remained. Just then, the eldest grandson of the Lu family fell into the water and died, nearing the end of his life. So, you used your spirit to attach to him, preventing your own spirit from dispersing and sparing the child's adoptive mother the pain of losing her son."
"But that was just a temporary measure. When your spirit was weak, your mortal body could still withstand it. But a year ago, after you and that mother and son left the Lu Mansion and established your own family, your spirit was no longer burdened by them and finally began to recover. I think this body will soon be unable to bear it."
"That's quite right." The little kid sighed softly, "I have practiced Taoism for a thousand years, but I don't know much about mortal body training. I wonder if I could ask Pavilion Master to do me a favor. I will reward you handsomely after the success."
"Body training?" Yun Qingqing raised an eyebrow. "Your spirit is now stable. As long as you cast a golden body and offer incense, you can leave your mortal body and resume your cultivation at any time. Are you still planning to continue using this mortal body?"
The little doll's dark golden pupils flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:
"That's right. I don't plan to abandon this mortal body for the time being. I ask Pavilion Master to help me."
Yun Qingqing thought about it and decided to make her words clear:
"You should understand the difference between mortals and spirits. Mortals are naturally primate and born to pursue the Tao, adept at cultivating various techniques. However, mortal bodies are far inferior to those of spirits, not to mention that you have already practiced the Tao for thousands of years."
"If you continue to stay in this child's body, even after undergoing body training, you will never be able to reach the speed of your own cultivation."
"Of course I understand." The little kid said seriously, showing no sign of changing his mind. "Master, just say whether you agree or not."
"Okay." Yun Qingqing nodded, "But I'll decide the reward."
"…What do you want?"
"You have served Tianming Pavilion for ten years. Of course, I don't need you to be there all the time. You just need to lend me a hand when I need you."
The little kid blinked his vertical pupils, nodded seriously, and was about to speak when he suddenly straightened up slightly and turned his head to look into the distance.
He jumped down from the tree, landed lightly in front of Yun Qingqing, and looked up at her.
"Deal, I promise, I'll be there whenever you call."
Those big eyes have become as watery as black grapes, and he looks just like a cute baby.
"This is a token of trust. When you need to summon me, just call my real name into it." He took Yun Qingqing's hand and placed something in her palm.
"My name is Youya."
Yun Qingqing looked at the palm of her hand and saw a crystal clear little bead with rich Three Purities Qi flowing inside and outside. It was the first time she had seen such a treasure of heaven and earth since she came to this world.
She was a little surprised. Although the guardian deity was a kind of spirit that did not reject humans, the one in front of her was a little too majestic.
"Ayuan!" A woman's voice suddenly came from the intersection.
Yun Qingqing turned around and saw a woman in a straw hairpin and cloth skirt running towards her hurriedly.
"I'm waiting for news from my sister!" Youya completely returned to his childish behavior, smiled sweetly at Yun Qingqing, turned around and ran towards the woman with his legs clattering.
"Mom, Ayuan is a little hungry, let's go home."
"Don't try to change the subject, kid! I haven't even settled the score yet for running away when I wasn't paying attention!"
“Hey hey hey…”
Yun Qingqing watched the mother and son walking away hand in hand, and something suddenly dawned on her.
