He opened the income details with a look of astonishment, and the first thing he saw was:
Lin Fengjiao transferred 10,000 points to you.
Qin Yao: "..."
Although he had already speculated about this in his mind, after seeing the transfer information with his own eyes, he still had mixed emotions in his heart.
For a moment, there was no excitement at all about spending two thousand filial piety points in vain.
"call……"
After a long time, Qin Yao gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, and with a thought in his mind, he disappeared in an instant.
Two days later.
It's noon.
Mao Xiaofang, who was dressed in a gray and white gown, was taking Xiaohai to dry herbs in the courtyard. A rickshaw suddenly stopped in front of the open door of Fuxi Hall, and a fat old man with a mole on his chin stepped out of the car.
"Wait for me here."
The old man said something to the rickshaw master, then pushed the magic mirror on the bridge of his nose and walked slowly into the dojo with heavy steps.
In the courtyard, Mao Xiaofang, who heard the noise, raised his eyes and looked up: "Who are you looking for?"
"Are you Master Mao?" Fei Lao cupped his fists and saluted, and asked politely.
"I'm Mao Xiaofang." Mao Xiaofang nodded and returned the greeting: "Your Excellency, you made a special trip to see me?"
The fat old man took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to him respectfully: "It's just a small thing, but it's not respectful."
Mao Xiaofang frowned slightly and pushed back his palm: "No reward for no merit, I cannot accept this gift. Please explain clearly why you are here."
Fei Lao held the banknote, pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Yu Dachuyu should be your disciple, right?"
"A Chu?" Mao Xiaofang was dumbfounded.
From the beginning to the end, he never thought that the other party actually came for Ah Chu.
"Yes, Mr. Yu Dachu won at least a thousand yuan in the five casinos I opened."
Fei Lao said respectfully: "Because we heard that he was your disciple, we didn't take any action on it.
But I opened the casino to make money, and if Mr. Yu continues to win, my family fortune will soon become his, so I came here this time to ask Master Mao to show his kindness and let me live."
Mao Xiaofang: "..."
He knew that Ah Chu liked gambling, but winning a thousand yuan still shocked him.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how lucky a person is, it is impossible to win them all, let alone accumulate one thousand yuan!
"Master Mao, if you think my greeting gift is not enough, I have some more here."
Fei Lao took out his wallet, took out a stack of banknotes, put it on the shelf where Mao Xiaofang was drying herbs, and begged, "I just beg your disciple not to mess with me anymore."
Mao Xiaofang took a deep breath and said solemnly: "In fact, I don't know anything about this matter at all! If you are willing to believe me, please go back first. After I understand this matter, I will definitely tell you
An explanation.”
The fat old man was slightly startled, then took back the banknote and said quickly: "Of course I believe in Master Mao, so you are busy, I will leave first."
Seeing his broad back disappear from sight, Xiao Hai swallowed hard: "Master, I think there must be some misunderstanding. How could Ah Chu win so much money?"
Mao Xiaofang narrowed his eyes and murmured: "Yes, how did he win so much money?"
afternoon.
Ah Chu, who was wearing a brand-new gown, hummed a tune and jumped into the dojo like a child. When he caught a glimpse of Mao Xiaofang standing in front of the main hall, he suddenly beamed: "Master..."
"Achu, come in." Mao Xiaofang turned around and stepped into the main hall.
Ah Chu was in high spirits and didn't notice anything wrong with Master's mood at all. He strode into the main hall and asked, "What's the matter, Master?"
"Kneel down!" Mao Xiaofang stood in front of the statue of the ancestor that was hung up at an unknown time, facing Ah Chu, and shouted sternly.
Ah Chu's heart trembled, his smile quickly faded, he knelt down on the futon obediently, raised his head and asked: "Master, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You don't know what you are doing?"
Mao Xiaofang shouted.
Ah Chu's face turned pale and he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Yu Dachu, do you still remember the three precepts of our sect?" Mao Xiaofang asked seriously.
Ah Chu said guiltily: "Remember, remember..."
"Which three precepts?" Mao Xiaofang asked again.
Achu was speechless.
Mao Xiaofang's eyes turned cold, and he turned around and took out a cane from behind the pillar: "I want to ask you, what are the three precepts?"
"The first commandment is to betray one's trust and deceive one's master and destroy one's ancestors. The second commandment is to use evil intentions and cast spells to harm others. The third commandment is to use Taoism indiscriminately and disturb the people." Ah Chu said anxiously.
"What else?" Mao Xiaofang looked indifferent.
"Violator, violator..."
"What about the offenders?" Mao Xiaofang shouted.
"Anyone who violates this rule will be expelled from the school." Ah Chu said fearfully.
"Tell me, which precept did you break?" Mao Xiaofang asked.
Ah Chu: "Using Taoism indiscriminately will disturb the people?"
Mao Xiaofang's eyes turned cold, and he whipped Ah Chu hard on the back, pulling out one kid from his body. Then he kept whipping and struck five times in a row, pulling out all five kid, rolling on the ground in pain.
"Is it just a matter of using Taoism indiscriminately to disturb the people?!"
Ah Chu was speechless.
"From today on, you will..."
"Master!"
At this time, Xiao Hai rushed in from outside the door, knelt down in front of Mao Xiaofang, and interrupted his voice: "A Chu is just a temporary loser."
"If everyone who makes a mistake says that he was confused for a while, then what's the point of having rules?" Mao Xiaofang shouted in a low voice.
"Master, please, please let Ah Chu go this time." Xiao Hai kowtowed.
A hint of bitterness appeared on Mao Xiaofang's face: "The state has national laws, and families have family rules."
Ah Chu's heart trembled, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Mao Xiaofang, but his eyes were extremely unfamiliar.
"Junior brother." Lei Gang was suddenly helped into the main hall by Lei Xiu and called in a low voice.
"Senior brother." Mao Xiaofang greeted him.
"It's true that there are state laws and family rules, but I believe A Chu has good intentions. Just like Xiao Hai said, it's just a temporary confusion. Why don't you give him a chance." Lei Gang said sincerely.
Ah Chu was stunned and turned to look at Lei Gang, feeling a warm current surge in his heart.
Just because he did something wrong, the master beat and scolded him, and even expelled him from the school, which was ruthless.
But at this critical moment, his uncle stepped forward and interceded for him. How could he not be grateful and excited?
"Senior brother." Mao Xiaofang frowned and said, "If we can't deal with it strictly, then where can we set the rules?"
"Serious words, serious words."
Lei Gang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is no greater good. Ah Chu, do you know your mistakes?"
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong." Ah Chu hugged Mao Xiaofang's legs and said loudly: "Master, I know I was wrong. Please don't drive me away."
In fact, the reason why he stayed in Fuxi Hall shamelessly was not all because of the relationship between master and apprentice, but more because he had a clear understanding and understanding of himself.
Ah Chu from Fuxi Hall is a respected mage in the town.
After Yu Dachu left Fuxi Hall, he no longer had the qualifications to be superior to others. No matter how much money he had, it would be difficult to keep it in the end.
Not to mention, only by staying in Fuxi Hall can you have the opportunity to come into contact with Xuanmen Taoism. In the future, you can use Fuxi Hall as a springboard and use the Maoshan Platform to move towards a higher and larger world...
In the courtyard.
Qin Yao looked at this scene with blank eyes.
He knew that from now on, Yu Dachu's loyalty no longer lies with Mao Xiaofang. Once the situation changes and the other party needs to choose between Mao and Lei, today's scene will turn into a needle and penetrate deeply.
Yu Dachu's heart drove him to devote himself to Lei Gang!
The relationship between master and apprentice for many years is not as good as one helping. Is this an exaggeration?
Very exaggerated.
Is it common?
Also very common.
How many brothers who have shared weal and woe have turned against each other because of one thing?
Even... just because of a woman!
The human heart is so cold. If a good person does ten thousand good things, others will only take it for granted. But if he does one bad thing, it will immediately become the source of disintegration...
Many times, what is the straw that breaks the camel's back?
Often once a crack appears, it is doomed to a broken ending!
Qin Yao had a clear understanding of the current situation, but had no intention of putting out the fire at this moment.
Let the bullets fly for a while, and when Mao Xiaofang is in a dilemma and has no way out, it will be his harvest moment!
"That's all, that's all."
In the main room, Mao Xiaofang hesitated for a long time, and finally threw the cane to the ground and said: "Ah Chu, kill these five little devils yourself and abolish the magic. I will spare you this life today. But what happens next?
This time, no matter who pleads for you, it’s useless, do you hear me clearly?”
"Listen clearly, Master!"
Ah Chu felt cruel, picked up the rattan that Mao Xiaofang had thrown on the ground, and beat the five little devils hard, killing them alive, and his heart became heavier.
"Also, send back all the money you earned. We will never keep any ill-gotten wealth or ill-gotten wealth." Mao Xiaofang said again.
If beating the five brats to death made Ah Chu feel heavy, then asking him to send the banknotes back was tearing out his heart.
But at this moment, he didn't dare to refute at all, he could only nodded silently and accepted the matter.
"Go." Mao Xiaofang waved his hand.
Ah Chu put the rattan on the table and strode out of the main hall.
"Junior brother, you are too harsh." Lei Gang sighed.
Mao Xiaofang was helpless: "I am now the head of Fuxi Hall, and I cannot let the ancestor down."
Lei Gang shook his head, not knowing what he meant, but he stopped talking.
A few days later.
late at night.
Lei Gang stood on the top of a mountain, looking at the brightly lit town in the distance. He took a white cloth bag from his waist and opened the bag towards the town.
"Huh...ha."
"Huh."
"Hahaha."
…
As all kinds of scalp-numbing laughter rang out, streaks of green light flew out of the bag, rushing towards the town one after another.
"Chi."
After putting away the ghosts in the bag, Lei Gang suddenly pulled up the mouth of the bag, and his body disappeared in an instant...
Early next morning.
A large group of people gathered together and knocked on the door of Fuxi Hall. When they saw Mao Xiaofang, they immediately started talking like a group of ducks communicating.
Encountering this situation early in the morning, Mao Xiaofang's brain hurt from the noise, and he waved his hands vigorously: "Folks, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, speak slowly, one by one."
"Master Mao, we are inviting disaster. I opened the door this morning and saw a bloody handprint on the door.
I thought it was some naughty kid's prank, but who would have thought that many people in the neighborhood had bloody fingerprints on their doorsteps, and that's not how the prank was done." An old man wearing a black shirt with a double-breasted collar said first.
"Yes, yes, I think it is most likely caused by ghosts. Master Mao, you must protect us," an aunt said loudly.
"Take me to see it." Mao Xiaofang said.
After a while, everyone gathered around Master Mao and came to a shop.
Mao Xiaofang stretched out his hand to wipe the bloody fingerprints on the door and murmured: "There is indeed some ghostly energy."
"Yes, Master Mao, what do you think we should do?" the aunt said quickly.
Mao Xiaofang: "Tonight, we will have a ghost hunt!"
night.
Long street.
Mao Xiaofang stood in front of a Dharma altar, holding a mahogany sword in his hand with a serious look on his face.
"Pretending to be a ghost, you will definitely have to perform tricks later."
In the crowd, Shu Ning, who was holding a new camera, murmured.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Seeing the unkind looks from the people around him, Lin Zhijian gently tugged on Shu Ning's clothes.
On the throne.
Mao Xiaofang danced with his sword, recited incantations, moved around, and cast spells to attract ghosts.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the surroundings were always quiet, with no trace of ghosts at all.
Gradually, Mao Xiaofang stopped and fell into deep thought.
"Junior brother, let me give it a try..." When the crowd of people watching began to talk about it, Lei Gang came to Mao Xiaofang's side under the attention of countless people.
Mao Xiaofang hesitated for a moment, handed over the mahogany sword, and silently moved away.
Lei Gang caught the peach wood sword, used his power to cast a spell, and suddenly a strong wind blew between heaven and earth. Just this prelude was enough to overwhelm Mao Xiaofang.
Shortly after.
Green ghosts appeared from the strong wind, screaming and rushing towards the altar.
"Is there really a ghost?!" Shu Ning was stunned in the audience, and his world view instantly collapsed.
She thought that the people in Fuxitang might have faked it, but the ghosts floating in the air were obviously not created by fakery.
"Junior brother, you protect the safety of the people, and I will catch the ghosts."
Lei Gang said, took out a cloth bag, knocked out the ghosts one by one, and then forced them into the cloth bag.
Mao Xiaofang, who originally planned to catch ghosts, heard Lei Gang's arrangements and had to withdraw from the altar to protect the safety of the people. However, at this moment, he heard some harsh noises among the crowd...
"Master Mao can't summon ghosts no matter what, but Master Lei can summon them with just one move. Does this mean that Master Lei's cultivation level is much higher than Master Mao's?"
"You still need to ask? That's for sure! Otherwise, why would Master Mao call him Master Lei?"
"It's good now. With two masters here, we in Gantian Town won't have to be afraid of these things anymore."
Hearing this, Mao Xiaofang frowned slightly.
He always felt that there was something very fishy in this, and nine out of ten the fishiness was in those ghosts!
In the blink of an eye.
Lei Gang put the last ghost into the bag and raised his hand to send the bag to the candle to light it.
"Senior brother, wait a minute." In order to find out the truth, Mao Xiaofang immediately shouted.
Lei Gang paused his palm slightly and said, "Junior brother, do you have a problem?"
"I want to question these ghosts." Mao Xiaofang said.
Lei Gang: "If we don't burn them to death now, I'm worried that something else will happen if we have long nights and dreams."
Mao Xiaofang: "I think if we don't find out the truth, something similar may happen again."
Lei Gang hesitated for a moment and finally handed the bag to Mao Xiaofang.
"Hello, Director Lei, I am a reporter from the Sun News. Can I do an exclusive interview with you?"
At this time, Shu Ning boldly came to Lei Gang and said loudly.
"I'm sorry, I won't accept the interview." Lei Gang declined, then turned and walked into the darkness.
"It's okay, everyone has dispersed." Mao Xiaofang clapped his hands and said to everyone.
After everyone dispersed, Mao Xiaofang took the cloth bag back to Fuxi Hall, released one ghost after another in turn, and questioned him carefully, but no matter how he questioned him, he could never find out the reason.
at the same time.
Outside Fuxi Hall, at the corner of the ancient house, Qin Yao, whose whole body was covered by shadows, whispered: "Athena, Xiao Wenjun, keep an eye on the town. Something strange will happen tonight..."
