Chapter 189: Shu Chuo actually ate the elixir for prolonging life
Today's Qingdu Temple is much more prosperous than when Kong Qing first came.
Many Buddhist believers who asked Kong Qing to tell fortunes in front of Zhuangyan Temple a few months ago, after personally verifying his magical fortune-telling, have gradually developed the habit of coming to Qingdu to view incense.
Although it is said that the clear micron may not be in the view now, but what if you are lucky and bump into it?
Coupled with the Good Demon Certificate that Kong Qing is currently promoting...the Temporary Residence Permit for Good Spirits in Chang'an City has been promoted by Special Agents and other spirits who are harmless to humans and animals, resulting in more and more spirits applying for the certificate.
After all, everything has a circle. For example, friends of literati are all literati, friends of warriors are all martial arts, people who associate with high-ranking people are also high-ranking people, and those who can be treated equally by the thousand-year-old demon are also thousand-year-old demons, and similar
Eighty percent of the spirits that special agents, such as the spirits who are eligible to receive the Good Demon Certificate, interact with can meet the standards of the Good Demon Certificate.
In front of the Qingdu Temple, Kong Qing also saw the little girl named Feifei pulling another timid little girl and jumping out of the gate of the Qingdu Temple. The little girl also held a hand
Liang Yaozheng patted his chest, looking like he was surviving the disaster, and Feifei beside him was holding a small fist to cheer up the little girl.
The corners of Kong Qing's mouth turned up slightly...
It seems that the Good Demon Certificate is being promoted very smoothly among the kind spirits in Chang'an!
Although it is said that Kong Qing's main purpose of promoting the Good Demon Certificate is for himself, if he can help these lowly monsters live a better life in Chang'an City, Kong Qing will also be happy to see it happen.
After taking the little kitten around in Qingdu Temple, Kong Qing found that everything was running in an orderly manner.
Yan Fengzong and several Taoist priests from the Qingdu Temple were welcoming and receiving pilgrims. Although they were busy, they had a satisfied smile on their faces. The Taoist priests from the Taishi Bureau were relaxing
Under the leadership of the leader, the spirits were interrogated, a list was made, and then sent to the Yellow Emperor's ancient mirror for appraisal, and finally a Certificate of Good Citizen was issued, which was done very seriously.
Kong Qing was very satisfied.
A good group should be the same whether it is present or not, and whether it is doing something or not!
Reward, must reward!
"Laoshu..."
Kong Qing came to the side courtyard of Qingdu Temple and waved to Shu Chuo.
"Come out for a moment!"
At this time, Shu Chuo was patiently asking about the situation with a dark and low-looking monster. After seeing Kong Qing, he immediately turned his head, said a few words to the Taoist priest next to him, and then ran out with a look of joy on his face.
.
"President, didn't the bureau say you went to Shazhou for business? Why did you come back so soon..."
"It's just a dragon that's not even a dragon. How long can it last!"
Kong Qing waved his hands with a calm expression.
"How is the situation in Chang'an now?"
"Your decision, Commander, is of course extremely wise!"
Shu Chuo raised his thumb to Kong Qing and said with a flattering look.
"Through the reports and exposures of these good demons, I have initially determined the approximate locations of more than a dozen harmful ghosts and spirits..."
With that said, Shu Chuo took out a notebook from his arms and handed it to Kong Qing like a treasure.
"I have written all these situations here, waiting for you to evaluate them when you come back."
Looking at the small book filled with merits and virtues in front of him, Kong Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and patted Shu Chuo's shoulder with his hand.
"Well done, Lao Shu..."
With that said, Kong Qing took the notebook from Shu Chuo's hand and flipped through it.
Sure enough, Shu Chuo didn't lie. He wrote in great detail, including the monster's approximate race, what others called him, and which cases he was probably involved in. Everything was clearly written.
"Lao Shu, you are really a talent!"
Kong Qing closed the notebook in his hand and nodded to Shu Chuo.
"So Pindao decided to reward you..."
Before Kong Qing finished speaking, he saw Shu Chuo speaking seriously.
"No need, the master does not think that I am despicable and teach you the Tao. I have already lost my life, so there is no need for any reward!"
"Laoshu,"
Kong Qing tilted his head and looked at Shu Chuo with a half-smile.
"You're not going to hear what Pindao will reward you for, so are you going to refuse?"
Shu Chuo shook his head and said righteously.
"No matter what the reward is, I will..."
Before Shu Chuo could finish what he said, Kong Qing had already opened his mouth lightly and spit out two words.
"Yangshou!"
"...ahem...you have to accept it!"
After Shu Chuo coughed twice, his attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn.
"As the saying goes, elders give gifts and dare not refuse them. The master is the real master of our Quanzhen sect. Of course, you cannot refuse your kindness to me!"
Kong Qing looked at Shu Chuo intently and found that this old man was very shameless.
"Okay, come with Pindao!"
Kong Qing turned around and walked out of the small courtyard. Behind him, Shu Chuo's old face smiled as brightly as a flower and followed him out in a tizzy.
"What did the warden say to make Mr. Shu so happy?"
Looking at Shu Chuo's leaving figure, a Taoist priest from the Taishi Bureau asked a strange question.
A Taoist priest next to him looked at Shu Chuo with envy.
"It's probably because the warden promised to teach him his true biography. It's true that people are more likely to die than others..."
"It is said that Mr. Shu has obtained the true inheritance, but he is too old, so it is a bit difficult to enter the Tao and build the foundation."
Another Taoist priest analyzed next to him.
"So I think the warden promised him some miraculous medicine. I heard from Zhang Shanzi and others that the warden has many miraculous medicines that can increase our cultivation. Even if we take them, we can enter Taoism."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
A Taoist priest who was sitting in the yard copying files on spirits also joined the conversation.
"That kind of medicine that increases one's cultivation is so precious. Why doesn't the warden take it himself and gives it to Shu Chuo?"
"That makes sense!"
Several Taoist priests nodded together.
In the main hall, Kong Qing bowed respectfully to Laojun, offered incense, and said to Shu Chuo after he was done.
"Go, salute Laojun, burn some incense, and then sit down on the futon. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to open your eyes."
"yes!"
Shu Chuo agreed, then ran over, saluted Laojun, lit incense, sat down on the futon, and closed his eyes.
Kong Qing turned his head and looked left and right to make sure there was no one around the hall. He waved his hand and placed a piece of cloth with many clocks printed on it on Shu Chuo's head.
Then something magical happened!
Beneath the cloth, Shu Chuo's back, which was originally a bit rough, gradually straightened up, the wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared, and his complexion became rosy.
Whoosh!
Kong Qing uncovered the piece of cloth with the clock printed on it, threw it into the demon refining pot, and poked it with the whisk in his hand.
"Okay, get up!"
Shu Chuo opened his eyes and immediately felt that his body had become stronger and more powerful.
He tentatively stretched out his hands and found that his originally skinny hands with age spots had now become strong and strong, just like when he was in his forties.
"A certain person has really become younger!"
"Nonsense! This time I will lend you a century of life from the old man."
Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand and said seriously.
"Lao Shu, your qualifications are pretty good. Coupled with these twelve years of life, not only can you expect to enter the Tao, but if you work hard, it's not impossible for a real person to think about it. Come on!"
"yes!"
Shu Chuo's eyes filled with excitement, and he bowed deeply to Kong Qing.
"A certain Shu Chuo dares not to die for the leader!"
"There's no need to die if you die..."
Kong Qing waved his hand casually.
"It's good to live a good life. If you do a good job for my Quanzhen Sect, I'll be satisfied!"
"yes!"
Shu Chuo bowed deeply again.
"..."
When Shu Chuo returned to the small courtyard where the good demon certificate was issued, the Taoist priests in the Taishi Bureau were shocked.
When he went out, he was an old Taoist priest in his sixties, but when he came back, he turned into a middle-aged Taoist priest with a rosy complexion and a fairy-like spirit.
If Shu Chuo's face shape hadn't changed much, they wouldn't have dared to recognize him.
"Shu Lao..."
The Taoist priest who just said that Kong Qing had many miraculous medicines immediately ran up with eyes shining.
"How come you have become so much younger all of a sudden? Did the prison warden really give you a magic pill?"
"yes!"
Shu Chuo nodded without hesitation, with an expression on his face like "I and Qing Wei Supervisor Hou Tieci", and said with a show off.
"The prison warden saw that I was about to die and couldn't bear it, so he gave me a precious life-extending elixir to extend my life for another century."
Wow!
After hearing Shu Chuo's words, not to mention the Taoist priests present, even the spirits who came to apply for the good demon certificate all looked at Shu Chuo with envy.
Life-extending elixir, such a precious thing, is actually given to me as soon as I ask for it.
Master Qingwei is really generous with his actions.
Seeing the expressions of the Taoist priests around him, Shu Chuo felt a sense of relief in his heart, and then he immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"But this elixir is a welfare within our Quanzhen Sect. If you are not a member of our Quanzhen Sect, don't think too much about it."
After hearing his words, the eyes of the Taoist priests present flashed, and their hearts were very moved.
"Even an old guy like Shu Chuo can get life-extending elixirs. This Quanzhen sect seems to be very good!"
Just when Kong Qing returned to Qingdu Temple, a man in his twenties wearing a red robe also came to a large house in Yongjiafang in the north of Chang'an City.
"What the hell is this place?"
The man in red looked at the abandoned house in front of him with disgust.
"Xue Deyin, you were also known as the Three Phoenixes of Hedong back then, but you ended up creating such a garbage place?"
"This is the place where the previous generation Kong Kong'er and Shi Wansui signed an agreement..."
As soon as the man in red finished speaking, voices rang out in the hall, and then a man in black walked in from the door of the hall like a ghost.
"Since the agreement has been signed, we should abide by it until it is revoked. In addition..."
The man in black looked at the man in red with serious eyes.
"A certain person signed a contract with Kong Kong'er and you back then. The contract stipulated that no one could tell that Xue Deyin was still alive. You violated the contract, Jing Jing'er!"
The man in red blinked and then said in a helpless tone.
"But aren't you the only one who knows here? It doesn't matter if I talk about it here!"
"A contract is a contract!"
The man in black said seriously.
"No matter who you are or where you are, you can't violate it."
"A rigid and dogmatic guy..."
The man in red rolled his eyes at the man in black.
"No wonder you were unlucky with Wang Shichong back then."
"Since I promised to be loyal to Wang Shichong back then, I will naturally abide by the contract!"
The man in black replied seriously.
"People without faith don't know what they can do..."
"ok, I get it……"
The man in red raised his hands with a look of collapse.
"Stop talking about this, hurry up and tell me what the mission is, for example, where to go? How many to kill?"
