"That makes sense."
Qin Luo was amused by his junior sister.
"Junior sister, I'll go down the mountain to fetch water first."
"Senior brother, can't you summon wind and rain?"
"Won't."
"What about Master?"
“Master’s Taoist arts are profound, but such a trivial matter should not be troubled to Master.”
"Too."
Ziyue continued drinking her porridge.
Qin Luo left the Taoist temple carrying the wooden bucket.
After finishing her porridge, Ziyue arrived at the main hall of the Taoist temple. She was hesitating about whether to secretly eat a chicken leg, but when she arrived, she found that there wasn't even a chicken bone.
"A tribute?"
Zi Yue looked around, then looked up at the majestic portrait of the Dao Ancestor high above, and was startled.
Could it be the Dao Ancestor manifesting his power?
Zi Yue quickly bowed respectfully.
...
When Qin Luo returned to the Taoist temple, he saw a young woman in a green dress in the courtyard in front of the main hall. She was clearly a rich young lady, and she was accompanied by a strong servant.
The woman in the green dress looked worried. "Master Zhang, a few days ago, my father suddenly fell into a coma. The doctors in town are all helpless. Please think of a solution."
Zhang Fulong stroked his beard and said calmly, "Medicine is ineffective; it's probably the work of evil spirits."
Zhao Qing'er knelt on the ground, her expression respectful, and said, "Please, Immortal Master, save my father."
Zhang Fulong, with his hands behind his back and a serious expression, said, "In broad daylight, demons and evil spirits are causing trouble right under my nose, they simply don't take me seriously."
Qin Luo's eyes lit up. Usually, the people who came to the Taoist temple were there to burn incense and pray for blessings. This was the first time he had encountered evil spirits causing trouble. He also wanted to see his master display his supernatural powers.
Zhang Fulong took out a talisman from his sleeve. "This is an exorcism talisman. It can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune."
"Thank you, Master Zhang."
Just as Zhao Qing'er was about to reach out and take the talisman, Zhang Fulong took it back. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, this exorcism talisman took a lot of effort from me, so it will cost one hundred taels."
Zhang Fulong knew that Zhao Qing'er was a rich young lady, and that the Taoist temple had recently become deserted, so he made an exorbitant demand.
Zhao Qing'er didn't think much of it.
She took out a hundred-tael silver note.
The servant standing nearby didn't even have a chance to offer any advice.
Zhang Fulong put away the silver notes and handed the talisman to Zhao Qing'er. "When you get back, light the talisman, mix the ashes with a bowl of water, and drink the talisman water to remove the evil spirits from your body."
Zhao Qing'er bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for the talisman, Immortal Master."
Watching Zhao Qing'er leave, Qin Luo felt a little regretful. He had originally hoped that his master would intervene. He walked to Zhang Fulong's side and asked, "Master, what if the talisman doesn't work?"
Zhang Fulong said calmly, "If it doesn't work, then it proves that this is his fate."
"Are you just going to ignore it?"
Qin Luo was somewhat surprised.
Zhang Fulong patted Qin Luo's shoulder lightly and said meaningfully, "A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings. A family that accumulates evil deeds will surely have abundant calamities. We must respect the fate of others."
"I see."
"Master, I have been on the mountain for two years, and you have not yet taught me any magic. Is it because my cultivation is not high enough?"
Qin Luo wanted to know the reason.
Zhang Fulong chuckled, "Disciple, no matter how many magical arts you possess, without a solid foundation, you cannot become an immortal."
"Disciple understands."
Qin Luo was about to leave when Zhang Fulong called out to him, "Disciple, this is 'The True Explanation of Daoist Techniques,' which records one hundred and eight kinds of spells. Take it back and practice it."
Qin Luo was flattered and overwhelmed. He held the "True Explanation of Daoist Methods" in both hands and said excitedly, "Master, I will cultivate diligently from now on and will never let you down."
Zhang Fulong nodded with a smile.
Ziyue stood to the side with a broom, dreaming that one day she could receive the master's inheritance like her senior brother.
After Qin Luo left.
A cunning glint flashed in Zhang Fulong's eyes. He had bought that book on the street when he was young, but after years of practice, it had no effect whatsoever. He still resented the old man who had tricked him into buying the book back then. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have resorted to such deception.
Recently, there have been fewer and fewer disciples in the Taoist temple. If Qin Luo runs away, the Longhu Temple will not be far from closing down. In order to keep him in check, Zhang Fulong had no choice but to take out "The True Explanation of Taoist Methods".
