Tie Zhu's admiration was beyond words. He excitedly circled around the Taoist priest and said, "Master, how did you know we were looking for you!"
The Taoist laughed and said, "I can figure it out just by counting with my fingers."
The Taoist priest is lying. To put it bluntly, this person is not a Taoist priest at all, but a charlatan who eats and drinks. It can be said that he is notorious. He can no longer survive in larger towns and can only start wandering in remote mountain villages.
.
After visiting two mountain villages, I found that the people here are honest and hospitable, simple-minded, and very superstitious. They are always sure to deceive someone. Although the gift money given was not much, he also made a lot of money.
Ruyi felt indescribably awkward looking at this man. This Taoist priest seemed to be different from what she had imagined. She raised her head and asked in a sweet voice: "Taoist priest, you are so powerful, can you guess what I am looking for?"
What are you doing? Quickly count with your fingers!"
The Taoist priest curled his lips, thinking where did this ignorant kid come from? If he really had such magical powers, he would have gone to the palace and become a national master long ago, so there is no need to wander around here.
The Taoist priest pretended to count with his fingers, then touched his beard and stared at Ruyi, saying, "Tsk, that's not good, that's not good."
"Why is something bad? You should tell me!" Ruyi said, pulling on the corner of the Taoist priest's clothes.
"Hey! A gentleman should move his hands but not his words. Don't pull or pull. If my robe is damaged, you little girl can't afford to pay for it." The Taoist priest took the corner of his clothes out of Ruyi's hand.
Ruyi pouted and said: "Ruyi is not a gentleman, Ruyi is a little girl!"
Tie Zhu muttered from the side: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."
Tiezhu was several years older than Ruyi, had read for two days, and could occasionally make a few literate sentences. Although Ruyi didn't understand what he meant, he guessed it wasn't a good word, so he gave back a big
gave Tie Zhu a blank look.
"Girl, your hall is black, it seems you have touched something unclean." The Taoist said in a bad way. His intention was just to scare Ruyi, but he never thought that he had correctly guessed Ruyi's thoughts.
Ruyi felt that the Taoist priest was really powerful, and he could actually see that there was a monster in the house. So she took off her guard and told the Taoist priest exactly what she saw.
After hearing Ruyi's description, the Taoist priest almost didn't laugh. This is exactly like a little girl meeting a widow having an affair at midnight. She actually thought she saw a monster. It was really funny.
"Taoist priest, can you help me catch the monsters at home?" Ruyi was full of expectations.
The Taoist priest looked at her sideways, pressed his nose with his little finger, and said, "What are you giving me as a gift? Do you have money?"
Ruyi thought for a while and said, "I don't have any money, but the lotus leaf cakes made by my mother are delicious. If you are a Taoist priest and you capture the monster, I will ask my mother to make you a cage of lotus leaf cakes."
The morale of the Taoist people was so low that they had no money to talk about. Lotus leaf cakes, who the hell wants to eat lotus leaf cakes!
The girl is ignorant, so don’t blame me for teasing her, the Taoist thought.
"I can't do this without a gift, and incense, candles, and cinnabar also cost money. Killing demons and demons, and doing chivalry and justice are good, but a poor Taoist can't starve to death!" The Taoist priest refused in one or two words.
Ruyi's expectant eyes immediately dimmed.
"But I can teach you how to do it. Just catch the monster yourself." The Taoist smiled maliciously.
When they heard that they could learn some magic, Ruyi and Tiezhu pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
