Chapter 3 Taoist priests who cheat food and drink (3)
After a while, a low scream came from the room: "Ah! It's the butler."
"Hurry him away quickly, don't disturb my mother."
A maid ran out of the room with a blushing face. Her body was extremely plump, and her red coat was almost bursting with her chest. However, it was the person she saw in the yard just now. She urgently helped the injured housekeeper up, apologized twice, and helped him limp and leave.
"My shoulders are probably useless!"
"No, there is a word for blessing in the name of the butler, and it will naturally turn bad luck into good luck."

The voice gradually faded away. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Fu suddenly remembered something, turned around and stared at Li Qing fiercely. If it weren't for him, how could he have suffered such misfortune?
Li Qing smiled and stepped forward a few steps into the door. The room was full of powdery smell, the wall was painted plain white, a lens was nailed directly opposite the door, and a small dustpan was placed below, with a hinge inside, and a picture of Zhong Kui catching ghosts was hung diagonally opposite. Below the picture was a large sandalwood table with only a plate of agate on the table, and a few boxes of rouge were placed in it. A gum was placed in the northeast corner of the room, and a soft smoke curtain was hung on the bed, but the color was blue by the rain, and the curtain was only half. A young man was lying inside, with pale face and eyelids leaping.
Li Qing did not go forward, but just looked for a chair to sit down, looked at him, and said slowly for a long time: "I am not a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. I know you are pretending. How about we make a deal?"
Seeing that the young man was silent, Li Qing smiled and said, "I have a way to get you to be qualified for a child, but you have to help me pass today's level."
The young man sat up and smiled and said, "Do you really have a way to get my childish life for me?"
Li Qing stood up and closed the door, then turned around and said, "This Tongsheng is not a good reputation. It depends on the county magistrate. I heard that your uncle is the interview envoy of Jiannandao, and his second uncle is the judge of Jiannan. If he is so proud, how can the county magistrate not be flattered? A Tongsheng is just a matter of raising his hands."
Zhang Qiu thought to himself, "This is true. County Magistrate Liu often comes to my house just to get to know my uncle, but if my uncle knows this, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it away!"
Then he said, "Not suitable! My uncle knows my background, and I am afraid he can't let me do whatever he wants. Besides, what I want is a Juren, not a Tongsheng."
Li Qingzao knew that he would say this, and Xiaoxiao advised him: "You have to eat one bite at a time. First, you have the qualifications of a child, and then slowly find a way to get a juren. Can you hide it for a while like you pretend to be crazy? It is good to pass the exam, but if you can't pass the exam, you still have such a big family property, why bother yourself like this? Besides, there is still one year left for the Juren exam, and anything may happen in the middle. It really doesn't work. If you pay some money to hire a knife-catching person to take the exam, will everything be fine?"
Zhang Qiu was so moved that he thought about this matter too seriously at first. Now that Li Qingyi said it, he had already heard about it. He had heard of it. His uncle had a good relationship with the Jiannan Jiedushi. Even if it was exposed, there would be nothing wrong. But if it was not exposed, the position of county magistrate would be obtained. Imagining his majesty in official uniforms, Zhang Qiu's heart couldn't help but get warm. Moreover, after pretending for a few days, he was exhausted and began to feel itchy about the beauty of Cuihua Tower, and he just went downstairs.
Thinking of this, he looked up and down at Li Qing. He saw and heard all of him, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart and said with a smile: "If you can protect me from a child's life, we will make a deal!"
As long as Li Qing agreed, he would not consider what happened in the future. He raised his right palm and smiled and said, "A gentleman's word."
Zhang Qiu was overjoyed and raised his right palm and slammed it down: "It's hard to chase after you!" But he forgot that the other party was not a gentleman, but just a Taoist priest who jumped out of the Three Realms.
Let’s talk about Taoist Kong Fang, the Taoist in the front yard, had already changed his outfit, and saw that he wore a cloud and five mountain crown, apricot yellow Tianshi robe, a colorful silk ribbon on his waist, a horizontal bronze sword on his back, a pair of numb shoes on his ears, and a five-Ming ghost-subduing fan in his hands. He was completely enlightened by the Taoist immortal. The master was so happy that his son had hope of returning to his soul, but he was shocked that he forgot to tell him the price.
Taoist Kong Fang slowly set out his sword, and saw him stepping lightly, walking three times eastward, and two weeks westward, and drawing a Tai Chi Liangyi diagram. Suddenly, he fixed his body southward, his eyes slightly closed. He held the sword in his right hand and the water bowl in his left hand, and said in his mouth: "My water is extraordinary, the water of the five dragons and five stars true energy. My sword is extraordinary, and can be used to cultivate firmness and hardness...."
After reciting it several times, his eyes stared at the Yuemen nervously. Suddenly, he saw Li Qing's figure flashing, and knew that the great things had been done, and he was secretly happy in his heart. He also said loudly: "It is as urgent as the Supreme Law of Hunyuan, to tell all spirits: the generals of heaven dominate the world, attack the heavenly drums, raise the sky flags, swing the stars, throw the fire bells, catch the shadows, and search for silence."
He jumped violently and shouted, "Qi!" The sword pointed to it as if an invisible energy hit the fleeing demon.
Everyone begged the others to fear and wonder what had happened, but they saw the little Taoist priest holding Zhang Qiu and slowly walking from the moon gate. Mrs. Zhang was shocked and rushed over and shouted: "Son! Are you awake?"
"Mom, my legs are so weak! My head is so dizzy!" As he spoke, his body became weak and he was about to collapse to the ground. Li Qing pulled it up, but this was not pretending. He was lying on the bed for a long time and naturally felt exhausted.
"You know your mother, this is great. Wife, come and see your husband, he is awake!"
Although the young woman knew it in her heart, she still had to accept this scene and forced herself to come forward and hold her husband's hand and ask for a long time.
Mr. Zhang next to him took advantage of his lack of time and hurriedly pulled Taoist Kong Fang aside and whispered: "I forgot to talk to Taoist priest yesterday. I don't know how much it costs?"
"Haha! I just want to cultivate myself, but I really didn't consider the word "money". However, if I don't collect some symbolically, I'm afraid it will seem that the outsider is not sincere. In this way, the outsider will give me some!"
Mr. Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "I gave the monk two sects last time. How do you think of the Taoist priest?"
"Mr. Wait!" Taoist Kong Fang's pair of green bean eyes turned to the sky, and his nose sprayed a burst of air conditioning: "Do you know that at the beginning of the year, my four Taoist sons were all named as real people by the emperor, and the Xuanyuan Temple in the world was also changed to the Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor Palace. The pride of the holy family has never existed since ancient times, but the Wushou still put us alongside the bald heads, which makes people feel cold. It's not that I care about these two stale money. If the Wushou is really in a difficult family, I don't want it!"
Mr. Zhang's face turned slightly red, and he said anxiously: "Yes, Taoist priest's spell is stronger than him. How about the three sects?"
"But these talismans are not easy to refine, so I have to collect some additional capital from the staff."
Mr. Zhang cursed in his heart, but had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Then add Yi Guan and Four Guans, it can't be higher."
Taoist Kong Fang did not answer, but looked at Mrs. Zhang. Seeing that his son was already safe, Mrs. Zhang was happy and looked around to find Taoist. Seeing that he and her husband were together, she walked over with a smile.
"Five slogans!" Zhang Yuanwai secretly cried in his heart. If his wife spoke, she would at least give him ten slogans.
"Okay! Then follow the official's office." Stop when you see it, the long-term and safe way is.
Mr. Zhang was overjoyed and hurriedly took out a ingot of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it: "This is a total of five taels, only a lot of less!"
Taoist Kong Fang took it, weighed it a little, and was very happy. He carefully put it in his sleeve. Seeing the wife coming, he bowed and said, "Since the young master is safe, I still have important things to do, so I will say goodbye first!"
"This time, thanks to the Taoist priest, priest, have you thanked the Taoist priest?"
"Thank you!" Mr. Zhang replied hurriedly, fearing that the Taoist would not leave, so he urgently ordered his family to say, "The Taoist priest has something urgent, why don't you go and help pack your luggage!"
"So, I'm leaving." Taoist Kong Fang shouted to Li Qing again: "Disciple, let's go!"
Li Qing responded and was about to leave, but Zhang Qiu next to him was panicked. As soon as he left, what should I do if my Tongsheng, Juren do? In a hurry, he grabbed Li Qing, his eyes were about to spit out blood, "Ah! Ah!" Two times, he looked crazy again. The Zhang couple were shocked when they saw this. Could it be that the evil that was driven away was back?
"Son! What do you think?"
Zhang Qiu refused to answer, pointed at Li Qing with his left hand and grabbed his clothes tightly with his right hand. Li Qing knew what the problem was, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. Could it be that he really wanted to stay and fulfill that palm oath?
Mr. Zhang rushed to Taoist Kong Fang and said, "Master, look at this matter..."
Seeing this, Taoist Kong Fang also guessed seven or eight points. It must be Li Qing's promise to him that he would stop pretending to be crazy. Now he saw that he was leaving again, so he refused to let him go. He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it. He pondered for a moment and replied: "The evil evil was naturally removed, but there were still some remnants in his body. He had been suppressed by my disciple just now. As soon as he left, the remnants became active, but it would not be a problem. It would be fine in one or two days."
Mr. Zhang was not willing to believe him. He had already given his money, but in the end he repeated that there was no such cheap thing in the world. He grabbed Kong Fang and said anxiously: "There are only two ways now. Either the Taoist priest repay me the money first, or you, the master and the disciple, leave one of you as a chasing person. When there is really nothing to do, let him go."
At this time, Mrs. Zhang also came over and said, "I think the key to the problem lies in Lingtu. It's better to let him stay with me. If the Taoist priest feels that there is any loss, we should compensate you." She turned around and said, "Go quickly and get five scoops of money!"
Immediately someone brought the five-single money to come over. When Taoist Kong Fang saw the money, he forgot his identity as the immortal chief. He was deceived by the white flesh on Mrs. Zhang's chest and he was confused. He sank his hands. He then came to his senses. He put the money in his bag first, and then whispered to Mrs. Zhang: "I have no objection, but my apprentice's own consent is required. I, I don't have his contract to sell my body."
Seeing that Mr. Zhang had lost five stagnant money in vain, he was extremely angry and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of his wife. He had to bear the anger and run to Li Qing and said, "Brother! Your master is willing to let you stay. If you are willing to stay for half a year, I will treat you very well!"
"I want to stay for one year!" Zhang Qiu said anxiously. Seeing that his son was sober, Mr. Zhang was slightly surprised. Without thinking about it, he changed his words and said, "A year, as long as you stay for one year."
Li Qing was actually moved. Only by stabilizing can he do something. He just promised to carry a bag for the old Taoist for a year, but it was hard to regret it. Now that the old Taoist has money and is willing to terminate this verbal contract, it is great.
He smiled and said, "It's okay to stay, but I have to make it clear first. I'm not selling myself to your family. I'm just helping you, at most it's only a year."
"This..." Mr. Zhang was a little hesitant. Without a contract, he could leave at any time, and he was losing a lot.
"It's better to do this. I'll hire you to have food and accommodation for my son. It's a one-year limit. Let's sign a contract. If you can do it for a full year, I'll pay you ten-ton wages. If you run away by yourself, you have to pay me ten-ton wages."
The Taoist Kong Fang beside him was afraid that he would not agree, so he also loudly said, "If you agree, the love you owe me will be eliminated!"
