Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Leaving

Bai Zeqing exclaimed, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the Taoist priest secretly. Where are so many things hidden? There is no place to hide anything in that torn Taoist robe, right? And this Taoist priest is so skillful in throwing books, he shouldn't be the first to do so.

Once?

While thinking wildly, she saw the Taoist priest's cold and murderous gaze. She quickly gathered her thoughts and asked seriously: "Master, if you learn this, can you protect Brother Qi's puppet spirit from leaving?"

"Can you pursue something?" The Taoist priest glanced at her and said, "Cultivation in the form of the puppet spirit."

"Yeah, I understand, Master!" Bai Zeqing nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Master!"

"Don't call me master, I don't accept disciples!" The Taoist priest gritted his teeth and said word by word.

Bai Zeqing was used to hearing this and automatically ignored this sentence. He looked at the token carefully and found that it seemed to be agarwood, but it was much moister than it. The front was engraved with the word "Edict" and the reverse was engraved with runes.

Bai Zeqing couldn't understand and asked: "Master, what are these?"

"The Yuanzhou Xuanyu Academy can be mobilized." The Taoist priest tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, then added, "However, it should leave a record of the case, so it needs to be used with caution."

Bai Zeqing understood that it meant that it could not be used unless necessary. She quickly put the token into her inner pocket and hid it.

She opened the embroidered brocade bag again and saw three pieces of paper, one black, one yellow, and one red, with peach symbols drawn on them. She understood them immediately and said happily: "Master, are these symbols?"

The Taoist priest couldn't understand where her elation at the moment came from, and said lightly: "The black one is the invisibility talisman, the yellow one is the formation breaking talisman, and the red evil evil talisman. Just in case of emergency."

Unexpected need? This sounds... wrong! An idea flashed in Bai Zeqing's mind, and he grabbed the Taoist priest's tattered robe: "Master, where are you going?"

"Ningzhou, we can't delay any longer." The Taoist priest calmly pulled back his cuffs.

Bai Zeqing was stunned and said hurriedly: "Ningzhou? Master, can you take me there?" Perhaps, I can also find out the whereabouts of my mother, uncle and aunt.

"No." The Taoist priest refused without hesitation.

"I want to go back! I want to try to find my relatives." Bai Zeqing softened his tone and tried to explain.

"I can't protect you."

"Is it dangerous?" Bai Zeqing understood immediately, and the word that the Taoist priest said came to mind, and asked: "Is it to get rid of evil spirits? Is it the same as the Taoist temple on the mountain?"

The Taoist priest did not answer, but pointed at Judge Liu, who was walking down the mountain with everyone, and said: "Let the Xuanyu Court send you talisman paper, cinnabar, spiritual bistone, carving knife and wine." He thought about drawing a few more pictures.

Talisman, add a few formation stones, and it's time to set off.

"Master, I still owe you six thousand taels!" Bai Zeqing said dullly.

The corner of the Taoist priest's mouth seemed to be twitching upwards, but it disappeared in an instant, and his voice was as calm as ever: "Work hard to make money, and I will get it from you."

The two of them were talking, no longer paying attention to the commotion in the wing room and the mountain gate, and slowly walked towards the Medicine Master's Hall.



Bai Zeqing finally understood why this Taoist priest always wore that tattered robe.

This Taoist priest is really ignorant of secular affairs!

I am picky about food, but I don’t know how to cook, and I don’t like to communicate with others. So if there is nothing delicious, I just don’t eat and drink all I can.

I only wore Taoist robes. I went to a clothing store once and the waiter thought about it so much that my head was buzzing and I ran away without seeing the Taoist robes. From then on, I gave up the idea of ​​buying Taoist robes and simply wore them.

No wonder you need to practice.

With his temper, if he didn't practice, he would be easily beaten to death if not starved to death!

Bai Zeqing gave Liu Yuanfang a very detailed list of supplies. In addition to cinnabar talismans and spirits, there were also two sets of robes of specific sizes, ingredients for making snacks and dry food, some daily sundries, and materials for drawing thangkas.

When the supplies were delivered to the mountain, Bai Zeqing had already met Monk Cifa and moved into a layman's room not far from the Sutra Pavilion.

The environment here is very good. Only Bai Zeqing lives in a row of six lay houses. There is a small courtyard outside the house. There is a stone table and four stone benches to the north of the small courtyard. There is a flower garden on the east side of the small courtyard, but it is not taken care of.

, it is overgrown with weeds. Next to the flowerbed is a water tank half a person's height, which contains half a barrel of clean water.

At this time, both the Taoist priest and Bai Zeqing put on the same plain blue Taoist robes that fit well.

Bai Zeqing tied up her long hair high and looked at the figure on the glass window. She was very energetic. Then she looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Wow, her master, how can a jade tree stand in the wind and have the spirit of immortality!"

"Master, please dress well and comb your hair from now on, otherwise it will be a pity for your good looks." She took out the boxwood comb from the pile of daily supplies and said while combing the Taoist priest's hair.

"Don't call me Master!" the Taoist priest said seriously.

Bai Zeqing was used to combing Brother Qi's hair, and quickly tied the Taoist priest's long hair into a bun: "My name is Bai Zeqing, the daughter of Bai Yan, the governor of Ningzhou County. Master, can you tell me, what is your name?"

"Li." The Taoist priest was silent for a moment and then spoke.

Li? Bai Zeqing silently recited it twice in her mind. One word? Does this count as a name? What a strange name. She thought about it and fixed the green bamboo hairpin on her bun.

"Master, I will study hard and make money!"

The Taoist priest nodded and added: "Find out the truth."

"Yeah!" Bai Zeqing nodded and warned, "Master, in the food box are the steamed buns, crispy dumplings, and Samo cakes I made. They are all hometown snacks I learned from my aunt."

"I am leaving."

"Well!" Bai Zeqing pursed his lips, "Master..." Before he could say anything else, his voice was slightly choked.

"Don't touch porcelain, I!" Before he finished speaking, the Taoist priest's figure was already dozens of feet away.

Monk Ci Fa was waiting on the steps there.



The two of them walked to the mountain gate. At this time, the refugees had returned to Yuanzhou City under the "escort" of the soldiers. The outside of the mountain gate had returned to cleanliness, with only a few young monks and a few novices cleaning it.

Seeing the Taoist priest turning back to look at the layman's room, Monk Cifa hurriedly said: "Donor, don't worry, the poor monk will take good care of little donor Bai."

The Taoist priest shook his head and said: "No, don't take care of me."

The monk was stunned.

The Taoist priest said calmly: "My disciple."

The monk immediately understood, "Donor, don't worry, the poor monk will strictly require Little Donor Bai to attend classes in the morning and practice in the evening without any delay." After a pause, he added: "The library is also open for her."

The Taoist priest nodded, "Thank you." Then he turned around and left, but within a moment, he disappeared.

Bai Zeqing stood on Meishan and looked at the mountain gate, but soon he could not see the Taoist priest's figure. Only then did he say the words choked in his throat: "Master, I am invincible..."

The tone was cold and cold, and there was no longer the joy and expectation that he had before when he said these words.

"Daddy is invincible! I'm waiting for you to come back!"

"Brother is invincible! I'm waiting for you to come back!"

"Brother Qi is invincible, I'm waiting for you to come back!"

These words lingered in my ears, but I did not dare to say the words "Master, I am invincible...".
