"Why is he here again?" Taoist Priest Dingxuan looked disgusted.
"Master Lin bought the house next to our Taoist temple. He came to give gifts as a neighbor."
"Gift giving?"
When Taoist Priest Dingxuan heard these two words, he was like clearing up after a rain. His originally disgusted face suddenly turned pale, and he hurried out to greet them.
"Young Master Lin is so polite, Dawu, but you still don't serve Mr. Lin tea."
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
After a while, Dawu came over with tea. Taoist Master Dingxuan smiled and said: "I don't have any good tea in this Taoist temple. Mr. Lin, please don't dislike a cup of coarse tea."
"Taoist Master is humble..." Lin Ye was polite and sipped the tea like the ancients. He couldn't say anything else. It was indeed quite thick and had a bitter taste.
Taoist Master Dingxuan also took the teacup handed over by his apprentice, blew on it but did not drink. He looked at the wooden box Lin Ye put on the table. His wide sleeves seemed to have been waved inadvertently, covering Lin Ye's sight, but his arms were
I took the opportunity to lift the lid of the wooden box.
The next moment, Taoist Master Dingxuan's eyes straightened a bit, he retracted his sleeves, and said to the side with great enlightenment: "Master, I remembered that last time a pilgrim from the tea house business came to burn incense and left a few taels of good tea leaves.
Give it to Mr. Lin."
The corner of Lin Ye's mouth twitched. The old Taoist priest had forgotten that he had no intention of entertaining himself with good tea. It was only after he saw the silver in his wooden box that his attitude towards him changed.
The wooden box is not big, and it only contains ten taels of silver. This time he brought five hundred taels. He spent more than one hundred taels to buy the house, and there were still more than three hundred taels left, just to throw the money at the old Taoist priest.
Yes, but you can't just throw away a hundred taels as soon as you come up.
Soon, Dawu served two cups of tea again, and even the cups were replaced with exquisite patterns.
Picking up the tea cup, the aroma of tea is fragrant. Take a sip and the fragrance will linger in your mouth.
The old Taoist priest is not a human being.
Lin Ye cursed in his heart, Lao Tao also started drinking this time. Lin Ye put down his tea cup, Lao Tao also put down his tea cup, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
"Ahem, Mr. Lin purchased a new house. As a neighbor, I must also give him a gift."
The old Taoist stood up and walked towards the Sanqing Hall of the Taoist Temple. After a while, he came back with a talisman in his hand.
"Mr. Lin, this is the house charm. It is a way of congratulating Mr. Lin on his joy of buying a house."
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
Lin Ye was not polite to the old Taoist. After accepting the talisman, he said worriedly: "Taoist Master, you said that my soul is unstable and it is easy to see ghosts. Nowadays, the world is in chaos and people die every day. I am really afraid.
I don’t know if Taoist Master can save me.”
The old Taoist sighed and said: "Master Lin, let me tell you a story."
Lin Ye: "I'm all ears."
"Forty years ago, a pilgrim went to the Taoist temple to seek advice from my master because his soul was unstable, but my master did not take action to solve it. Does Mr. Lin know the reason?"
"That person has done many evil things?" Lin Ye guessed.
"That's not true. This person was just an ordinary farmer a few years ago. In a few years, he suddenly became rich. He bought a house and married several wives. Although his wealth made people jealous, he never caused trouble."
Lin Ye frowned, since he didn't do any evil, then why did the old Taoist master refuse to save him until he died?
"I was puzzled by this at the time. After the pilgrim left, I asked the master why. The master then told me that this man had no skills or knowledge, but he suddenly became rich. The source of his money was mysterious, and his soul was unstable.
, the two must be related, this kind of person is difficult to save."
When he said this, the old Taoist gave Lin Ye a meaningful look and continued: "The old Taoist failed to understand what the master said at the time. Not long after, the pilgrim went to the Taoist temple again. After the master explained the danger, he finally confessed his method of getting money.
."
"This man was a tenant a few years ago. When he was guarding the fields at night, he saw a wild fox coming out. He followed the wild fox to the cave where the wild foxes lived. He blocked the wild foxes in the cave and prepared to
When they were all caught, one of the old foxes came out with some money and begged for his life."
"The old fox not only gave him money, but also told him that as long as he brought poultry in the future, he could trade gold and silver with them. The man naturally agreed upon hearing this. By trading with the wild fox, this man
Make money and live a wealthy life.”
"These wild foxes can't conjure gold and silver out of thin air. These gold and silver were excavated from the coffins of the ghost houses in the mountains. Although this person received this money, although he did not steal it, those ghosts cannot settle the account.
There is a connection on his head, and the ghosts have been close to him for a long time, and this influence caused the soul to be unstable."
"After my master heard what happened, he told him that the solution was to first burn incense, candles, paper money and apologize to the ghosts who had their graves dug, and then cut off all contact with those wild foxes."
"This person also agreed and did what my master said. He cut off all contact with the wild fox and burned paper money to apologize to those ghosts. In addition, my master took action and stabilized his soul."
"Half a year later, the old Taoist thought of this incident and asked my master about this person's current situation. Only then did he learn from my master that this person had lost his soul three months ago and passed away two months ago."
"This person turned from frugality to luxury. He has long been unable to live in poverty, and he has no skills. After his family ran out of money, he went to look for the wild fox again, thinking that he would only do it once and then stop. In this way, there are two..."
Taoist Master Dingxuan sighed with emotion, and Lin Ye understood. The Taoist was trying to point his finger at himself.
Seeing that he was spending money so generously, the old man also suspected that he, like the people in the story, had received the money improperly and would not be able to stop it later.
But I was able to make money quickly by taking advantage of the price difference between the two worlds, and it had nothing to do with these goblins and ghosts.
But what made Lin Ye a little embarrassed was that he couldn't tell Lao Dao the truth. Obviously, if he didn't explain the source of the money, Lao Dao wouldn't come to his rescue.
"Taoist Priest, the origin of my money is innocent and has nothing to do with goblins and ghosts. I can guarantee this."
Lin Ye was very sincere, but the old Taoist priest just smiled and nodded, as if what you said is true and I won't defend you.
"May I ask, sir, what are the solutions to the instability of the soul?" Lin Ye could only ask in another way.
This time, the old Taoist was not perfunctory, but said seriously: "If the soul is unstable, it should be nourished and stabilized. There are two types of nourishing and strengthening the soul. The inner one is cultivation or martial arts, and the outer one is taking medicine to nourish the soul.
The elixir and the requiem that the old Taoist gave Mr. Lin earlier are external things."
Cultivation and martial arts training?
Lin Ye knew that Qingfeng Temple should be about cultivation, and practicing martial arts was like that of his senior brother. Thinking of this, he thought of the martial arts secret book that his senior brother gave him.
"Is it enough to just practice martial arts?"
"Young master Lin can guess what he is thinking. People who practice martial arts have strong yang energy and their souls will naturally be stable. However, this requires a long process. In addition, practicing martial arts for people with unstable souls will be half the effort with half the effort. It is difficult!"
"Taoist Master, I am very interested in practice, no..."
"Practice along the way, the fate of immortality is vague, and the difficulties are worse than practicing martial arts. Mr. Lin lives a rich life, so why should he suffer such hardships."
Taoist Master Dingxuan interrupted Lin Ye, and Lin Ye twitched the corner of his mouth. He didn't want to suffer, but the key problem was that his soul was unstable now.
"Taoist Master, I see that some of the statues in the Taoist temple are somewhat worn out. I would like to pay for the recasting of the statues."
Lin Ye decided to make a bigger move, but what he didn't expect was that the expression on Taoist Dingxuan's face, who had been very concerned about money before, did not change at all when he heard his words.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin. Grandmaster is so compassionate. How can you care about these external appearances? If you are sincere, even rotten wood has spirit. If you are not sincere, even a gilded elephant has no divinity."
Lin Ye was helpless. This old Taoist was really inexperienced, so he had to explain seriously: "Taoist Master, I have some unavoidable reasons that I can't explain clearly, but I can guarantee that it has nothing to do with ghosts."
A sneer suddenly appeared on Taoist Master Dingxuan's face, and he said: "Since Mr. Lin said this, I can't hide it anymore. Mr. Lin said that he has no dealings with ghosts and ghosts, so why did he go out for a while and silver coins appeared out of thin air, and the souls appeared again?
How unstable is it?"
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then asked subconsciously: "How unstable is my soul?"
"That's right." The old Taoist said firmly.
My soul actually felt a little unstable, but I didn't do anything in the other world except buying a house.
But buying a house cannot lead to instability of the soul. Besides buying a house, what else have you done?
Back to the modern world…
Snapped!
Lin Ye patted his head
He understood that the instability of his soul was related to time travel. Traveling back and forth between the two worlds caused instability in his soul.
Then this problem is unsolvable.
Unless you don't travel through time yourself.
Lin Ye looked at Taoist Dingxuan and asked seriously: "Taoist, may I ask how much more unstable my soul is this time than before?"
"It's slightly worse, but not to the point of losing one's soul."
After listening to Taoist Dingxuan's answer, Lin Ye knew in his heart that every time he traveled through time, his soul would become unstable.
You need to reduce the number of times you cross.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for reminding me."
Lin Ye clasped his fists, turned around and walked towards the outside of the Taoist temple without following the old Taoist ink mark.
"Master, are we really not going to help?" The little Taoist priest Dawu looked at Lin Ye's leaving figure and was a little unhappy. Mr. Lin is so kind. He gave them so many things to the Taoist temple.
"Hey, the world is in such chaos now that we, Qingfeng Temple, can't even protect ourselves."
Taoist priest Dingxuan sighed and walked into the Sanqing Hall and kowtowed to the statue of the Patriarch.
"Master Patriarch, it's not that my disciples don't want to replace your statue, but I'm afraid that it will damage your statue."
…
…
In the house next door to Qingfengguan, Lin Ye looked at the gear icon on the panel. If he wanted to solve the problem of unstable souls traveling back and forth, it seemed that he had to completely understand this panel.
This gear, even if it was Pandora's Box, he must at least understand it first.
