Chapter 41: Let go of the desire to help others and stop meddling in other people's affairs

Fox Daji and Cat Miaomiao were almost moved to tears by the Taoist's gentleness.

Really so gentle.

In their hearts, the Taoist priest is a perfect Taoist priest who cares about the people, hates evil but has a gentle heart.

You can really learn a lot by following the Taoist priest.

The woman was still crying, sobbing.

Lin Fan gently patted her back and said, "Girl, please tell me about your grievances. I will analyze them for you and find a solution for you."

Maybe she was tired of crying, or maybe she felt better when she saw someone comforting her, so she stopped crying.

"Thank you, Taoist priest." The woman said gratefully.

Lin Fan didn't learn many magic spells, and there was no spell to dry the body, so he couldn't solve the problem of the woman being wet. But they were all adults, so it was no problem for them to get cold. There was no need to be so pretentious.

"No need to thank me. No one would sit back and watch." Lin Fan said.

"Master, I feel wronged."

Hearing such delicate words, the two women suddenly narrowed their eyes and stared at each other. As women, they could tell whether the other was a slut just by the voice.

Now, after hearing this, I suddenly feel that this woman is not that simple.

"Oh! What grievance?"

He was ready to listen. There were too many things in the world that made people feel wronged, and he couldn't control them all. But if he encountered them, he would definitely not sit idly by.

"My name is Qiu Wan."

“Nice name.”

"I'm from Xinghua Town."

“It’s a nice place name.”

"Master, could you please stop interrupting me? I want to speak out all the grievances in my heart."

"Okay, okay, I am sorry for being rude. Please go ahead, Miss Qiu Wan."

"My name is Qiu Wan. I am the only daughter of the Zhang family in Xinghua Town and the concubine of Mr. Wang in the town. Such a family should have a perfect life, but unfortunately the lady of the family is against me everywhere. The lady was injured when saving the master in his early years and cannot give birth. Only I can carry on the family line for the master, but the lady is dissatisfied with me in every way. She said that I love to watch operas and bring young men home, which is a disgrace to the family. She also said that I spent a lot of money to reward young men and didn't know how to manage the household. His singing is good to begin with, so what if I give him a little reward? Taoist priest, do you think I am wronged?"

After saying this, he looked at the Taoist priest with a pitiful look.

I hope to get the Taoist priest's approval.

I don't know why.

She actually thought that the Taoist priest in front of her was very handsome.

At this time, the hand that was patting the girl's back slowly stopped. She understood that this was not a grievance at all, but simply unreasonable. Although I am a Taoist priest full of kindness, I can understand the difference between right and wrong.

Analyze carefully.

Her status and position is that of a concubine. Although I don’t know whether concubines in this world need to sleep with guests, but that’s probably her status.

The lady was injured while saving the master and cannot bear children, so her status is absolutely high.

She brought a young opera singer home to perform, and her wife said that it was a disgrace to the family, which was nothing wrong. She also spent a huge amount of money to reward the singer for not managing the household, which was even more perfectly fine.

She now says she was targeted and felt wronged.

To be honest, it seems that Tiangang is a little ungrateful.

Seeing the Taoist priest in a daze, Qiu Wan said delicately, "Taoist priest, do you think I feel wronged?"

"Well, I do feel a little aggrieved." Lin Fan nodded strategically in agreement. He knew very well that he should not be too serious with women, especially those who like to turn against Tian Gang and are ungrateful. Otherwise, he would be the one who gets tired.

"Master, you are a good master." Qiu Wan felt much better.

"Miss Qiuwan, can you swim?"

"Won't."

"So how did you jump into the middle of the lake?"

"Master, there is a rock over there. I jumped down from there."

"Jump over there? Can you jump to the middle of the lake?"

"Yes."

"I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe me, I'll dance for you to see."

"That's fine. I'm always serious about things. I won't believe them unless I see them with my own eyes."

Although Miss Qiu Wan didn't know what was good for her, she was actually a person of action. She stood up quickly and ran to the stone in a flash. Then she waved her hands towards this side, as if to say, "Master, look, this is how I jump."

With a splash, the water exploded.

In the late autumn, the girl is splashing in the lake.

"Master, save me."

Listen to the cries for help.

Lin Fan stood up and patted his butt. "Let's go to Xinghua Town. The name of the town is quite nice. It must be a good place with great scenery."

"Ah? Taoist Priest, then she..."

Lin Fan said earnestly, "You have been with me for a while. You should learn from me and put aside your desire to help others. Don't meddle in other people's business. I saved her once, but now she has jumped into the river again. She has already decided to die and there is no way to save her."

"Walk."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

As for that cry for help, let her continue to do so.

Damn, what kind of people are these? They made me wet all over.

Fortunately, I have a strong temper, which can speed up the drying of clothes.

The two girls looked at each other and suddenly realized that they had learned something. They really learned it.

…

Xinghua Town.

“It’s really a nice place.”

Under the eyes of merit, the sky above this place is very clear. Although there is some turbid air, it is not a big problem. To him, it is really a rare place, which shows that there are some good places in this world.

Not as bad as imagined.

They walked inside, and the people were shouting and chatting. Perhaps because the two women were indeed beautiful, they attracted some attention, but these glances were merely out of curiosity.

"Master, this place is really different from other places. We rarely see bad guys with knives here." Fox Daji said.

"This is natural. Birds of a feather flock together. Xinghua Town seems to have a very honest and simple folk customs. Those evil people would be weirdos if they came here. They would be out of place, so naturally they would not want to come."

Lin Fan expressed his thoughts, which should be like this.

"The Taoist priest is right. I think so too," said Mao Miaomiao.

They found an inn and paid for their stay.

Lin Fan wanted to stay here for some time. It was really tiring to slay demons and monsters all day long. He had to be mentally tense all the time. It might not be a big deal in the short term, but in the long run, it would definitely cause mental stress.

I came into the room, opened the window and looked towards the street.

I suddenly saw the girl Qiu Wan who had jumped into the river earlier, but I didn't expect that she had come ashore.

A crying maid followed her, and a middle-aged man with a beard was trying to comfort her.

"Hey, Taoist priest, doesn't she know how to swim?" Fox Daji approached the window and saw the other party as well.

"Life is like a play, a little trick of crying, making a fuss and then hanging yourself." Lin Fan said with a smile.

He is very familiar with this routine.

This often happened in TV dramas on Earth before time travel.

After arriving at Chaotian Taoist Temple, the master's wife would sometimes perform.

Thinking of my master's wife, I wonder how my senior brother takes care of her, whether she is well taken care of, whether she is warm and cozy, and whether I have lost weight.

These are all he wanted to know.

night.

Lin Fan practiced as usual. His magic could be improved by merit, so everything was very simple. However, he still needed to practice to improve his own realm.

Flesh spirit fragrance is the foundation for improving cultivation.

If he wants to become an immortal step by step, he has to keep slaying demons and eliminating monsters.

The two female bodies lay in the corner, staring at the Taoist priest who was practicing. They felt that the scene of the Taoist priest's practice was more and more scary. There was a hideous resentment in the fragrant mist, and there were ghost shadows entwined around his body. It was truly terrifying.

…

Wang's house.

Room.

Mr. Wang held Qiu Wan, who was only wearing a bellyband, in his arms, and they had a heart-to-heart talk afterwards.

"Qiu Wan, why do you want to commit suicide? Why can't you just tell me what's going on?" Mr. Wang comforted her. The beauty in his arms had soft skin, and it felt very comfortable to touch.

His wife was considerate enough to let him take a concubine. In his opinion, how could he not cherish her? Otherwise, he would disappoint her.

"Master, I feel wronged." Qiu Wan cried.

"Oh, what's wrong with that? You were spoiled by the master. Can you bring the opera singer home to sing? The master is a scholar after all, so he has to pay attention to influence."

"Then I won't bring it, but my sister insists on managing my expenses."

"Our Wang family is quite wealthy, but it's not a mountain of gold or silver. Madam works very hard to take care of everything. You have to follow her and learn from her, and help share the burden."

“Wow, wow, wow…” Qiu Wan didn’t say anything, she just kept crying.

"Why are you crying again?"

"I can, Master. If not, you can just let me take care of the family finances. My sister has worked so hard for so many years, it would be good to let her take a break."

"You can't even walk steadily, yet you want to run. Our family's stable life is all thanks to my wife."

Mr. Wang liked Qiu Wan very much.

But he is not stupid.

If his wife had not been injured and unable to bear children after saving him, he would never have taken a concubine.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

It is still possible to distinguish between momentary pleasure and constant pleasure.

If we really hand over the financial power to Qiu Wan, I'm afraid the whole family will be left with nothing before long.

"Master, you don't like me at all." Qiu Wan took advantage of the master's love for her and started to act unreasonable.

"Don't make trouble." Mr. Wang said seriously, then got out of bed and dressed. "You should have a good rest tonight. You have to listen to your sister in this house. As the saying goes, a harmonious family brings prosperity. Don't think about those unnecessary things."

After saying that, he ignored the other person, opened the door and walked out, leaving Qiu Wan alone in the room, grabbing the quilt and screaming.

…

The next day.

It's sunny.

“These bugs won’t do.”

Lin Fan came to the outskirts of the town and chose a place with heavy humidity to perform his poison technique, hoping to see if he could attract some more powerful poisonous insects. But who would have thought what kind of creatures he would attract.

Common centipede, common cricket, common ant, common seven-spotted ladybug.

He had thought that the golden centipedes that he had attracted before were rare, but there must be a lot of them. But now it seems that he was a little hasty in thinking that.

"Master, what are you looking for?" asked Fox Daji.

"A rare poisonous insect."

"It can only be found in a valley filled with miasma. If there were rare poisonous insects here, the surrounding flowers and plants would definitely not be as lush as this." Fox Daji said.

"That makes sense."

Lin Fan nodded. Although ordinary poisonous insects can be cultivated and slowly grow into rare and powerful ones, the time and energy required are not proportional to the gains.

If you can’t find it, just look for it slowly.

All in one step.

Back in town, I wandered around and ate something from the snack stalls. The pace of life suddenly slowed down, and I felt like I was enjoying worldly life.

Passing by a shop, I found an old woman sitting there, weaving paper figures. I stood at the door and watched for a while. I found that the old woman had exquisite skills and was very skilled. She quickly made a paper figure half a person's height.

However, this paper man only has a mouth and nose, no eyes.

The old woman put the paper figurine in the corner and found a Taoist priest standing at the door for a long time. "Master, is there anything?"

Lin Fan walked into the shop with a smile, "Old man, I don't have anything to do, I just thought these paper figures were interesting, so I took a look."

The old woman's eyes fell on the two women behind him, and then she retracted her gaze, "I'm afraid that the craftsmanship passed down from my ancestors will be lost in my generation."

"Old man, I see these paper figures are lifelike, but they only have mouths and noses. Why don't you draw eyes?"

"You can't click it. It's easy to run away if you click it before it's useful."

Lin Fan smiled, not feeling frightened at all. Although the old man in front of him didn't have any Taoist skills, he had many folk tricks in the world. Even without any Taoist skills, he could do things that ordinary people couldn't understand.

Especially this kind of ancestral craft is not something that ordinary people can master.

“Old man, it’s a pity that this craft has been lost. I wonder if you can pass it on to me. I’m willing to pay for it.” Lin Fan knew that this craft was interesting.

It's not a scam.

He could feel that even without eyes, these paper figures were still covered with a trace of subtle yin energy.

The old woman neither refused nor agreed, but smiled and said, "Master, do you know the taboos of making paper figures?"

"I'd like to hear more about it."

"Paper making is not just about paper figures, there are also paper bridges and paper horses. Paper bridges can lead souls through barriers and avoid being captured by ghosts. Paper horses and boys and girls can lead the way to the underworld and prevent ghosts from harassing you."

"Well, this is to accumulate good karma."

"It is to accumulate good karma, but once you make a paper figure, you have to make it for generations, for a lifetime. If you stop, you will die."

"What the old man said is indeed shocking, but I am not afraid."

"I want to know what you want to do after learning all this?"

"Kill the demons and uphold justice."

When Lin Fan said these eight words, his tone was sonorous, full of strength and determination.

The old woman, whose eyes were originally cloudy, was stunned for a moment when she heard these words. She looked at Lin Fan in surprise, then looked at the Taoist priest's dark red robe, and then looked at the axe on his back.

To be honest, this seems a bit out of place.

"Okay, I trust you, Taoist priest. I will give you this craft." The old woman had seen a lot of things, and without any hesitation, she took out a thin booklet from her bosom. Judging from the color of the cover, it was obviously quite old.

"Thank you old man for your teachings." Lin Fan bowed in gratitude.

At this moment, a young man in a patched robe came out from the back room of the shop, holding a book, and said, "Grandma, I'm going to the study hall and won't be back for dinner."

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

He looks like a scholar, thinking about studying hard to gain fame and fortune.

But in such a world, if you want to pass the exam and gain fame, I'm afraid...

"Old man, your grandson hasn't learned to make paper-cutting, but you are still making paper-cutting. Could it be that..."

"To be honest, Taoist priest, my grandson doesn't want to learn paper-tying. I don't want him to get into trouble, so I can only do it for him. I hope I can accumulate more good karma and help him get through this difficult time."

At this moment, in Lin Fan's eyes, this old lady was just a good grandmother who was trying to protect her grandson.

Think of this.

Without hesitation, he spent three points of merit to upgrade his curse technique.

[Curse (Entry Level 0/1000)]

…

[Curse (Perfect 15/2500)]

All three points of merit were used up.

Bring this spell to perfection.

"Old man, do you have paper, pen, and cinnabar? The paper must be white."

"have."

Soon, the old woman handed the thing to Lin Fan. Under the old woman's puzzled gaze, Lin Fan was seen holding a pen and drawing incomprehensible runes on a piece of white paper.

"Old man, can you tell me your and your grandson's birth dates?"

The old woman seemed to understand something and told them the birth dates of the two people.

Lin Fan wrote the two people's birth dates on a white paper, folded it, held it between two fingers, and chanted the formula. In an instant, a large amount of evil energy that could not be seen by the naked eye floated out of the old woman's body and merged into the talisman paper. At the same time, other evil energy floated in from outside the door. It was obvious that after casting the spell, it absorbed the evil energy of the grandson through the air.

Once all the evil energy is absorbed, just open your mouth and swallow it all in one gulp.

Curse is a curse that can take someone's life from a distance.

Naturally, it can also absorb the evil energy that shrouds the other person.

As for why swallowed.

It means to accommodate themselves and have someone to carry them.

How could he just sit there and do nothing when someone simply gave him a method?

"Old man, even if we don't make paper ties in the future, you and your grandson will be fine." Lin Fan said slowly.

As the huge evil energy entered his body, he felt a chill all over his body, but it soon dissipated. He knew that the sequelae had not come yet, but it didn't matter, if it came, he would definitely fight it to the bitter end.

The old woman felt relaxed all over, without the previous dull feeling. She completely understood what had happened and said excitedly, "Master, thank you very much, Master."

After saying this, he kowtowed to Lin Fan.

"There is no need to do this, old man. I learn the law in order to protect the world." Lin Fan said.

The grandson in the school also trembled slightly, and felt his mind become much clearer.

After Lin Fan took the two women away.

The old woman sighed sincerely, "I didn't expect Xinghua Town to welcome such a great man."

Please vote, brothers.
