The blind Taoist has lived alone in the Taoist temple for more than ten years. Now that he has to leave, to be honest, Li Xiuyuan is really reluctant to leave. After all, humans are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless? Even cats and dogs have feelings after being together for a long time.
However, the blind Taoist seemed to have figured out that his elixir was almost finished, so he wanted to go back to the mountain gate in advance to cultivate the golden elixir avenue.
"Disciple, the world is getting more and more chaotic now. I don't know why there are more and more demons and monsters. There are even monsters and evil spirits in Guobei County where you were born, let alone other places.
, I'm afraid the situation will get worse. I really hope this turmoil can end as soon as possible and bring peace to the world."
The blind Taoist exhorted but also had some sympathy for the common people.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
How can there be peace in this fairy tale world? Aren't there all kinds of monsters and monsters emerging in endlessly?
"My teacher has compiled a book called "The Record of Demons" over the years. It records all the monsters and ghosts that my teacher has seen, encountered, and heard over the years, as well as some methods of restraint and coping. If you have time, you can also read it.
You need to study it carefully, it will be of great benefit to you."
As he spoke, the blind Taoist took out a compiled book from his arms and stuffed it into Li Xiuyuan's hands.
"This book must not be spread casually, otherwise it will easily attract the hatred of demons and ghosts, because there are ways to defeat them, and demons and ghosts will not allow this book to spread."
After Li Xiuyuan took it, he thought silently in his heart: If tens of millions of copies of this book can be printed and everyone has a copy, the people in the world will be protected from being harmed by monsters and monsters.
"By the way, you should keep your golden gun that can swallow gold from a tiger's mouth. That weapon is hard to come by. The head of the gun is made of the Thunder God's cone. It is extremely sharp and can cut through iron as well as mud. But remember, it must not be exposed to fire. The Thunder God's cone is exposed to ordinary fire.
It will be transformed." The blind Taoist thought for a moment, remembered something, and warned.
"Disciple, I have written it down."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, but he didn't expect that the head of his golden gun had such a history.
"That's all I have to say to you as a teacher. After I leave, you can take care of everything yourself. You are a born saint with great luck and great blessings, but you will also suffer disasters. This is inevitable...
.”
The blind Taoist shook his head and said, and then gave some more instructions, then turned around and left with his sleeves empty.
"Master, take care." Li Xiuyuan said.
But before walking a few steps, the blind Taoist suddenly turned around and came back: "By the way, disciple, do you have any money on you? I would like to borrow a little from my teacher. It is really outrageous for me to go back to the mountain without bringing anything with me this time."
, you should bring some gifts back, so as not to be scolded by your fellow teachers."
"..."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and took out a piece of gold and gave it to him: "If it's not enough, master, go to the house and ask my father to get it."
"That's enough, that's enough. Hehe."
The blind Taoist got a piece of gold and left happily. After leaving for a long distance, he made a secret and disappeared on the road without a trace.
"My cheap master does have some skills." Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "But... why are you so timid and afraid of death?"
After thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"By the way, I haven't asked Master yet about Lanruo Temple and the house-protecting talisman."
Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan remembered something, slapped his head, and said with some annoyance.
I seemed to have forgotten several things, and it was all due to the ghost's out-of-body experience that made me confused.
But now that everyone is gone, I can only ask again when I come back next time.
Now, with the departure of the blind Taoist, there is no one in this Taoist temple, and he does not intend to stay here. After all, he only came to the Taoist temple to practice martial arts. Now that he has discovered that his martial arts training was deceived by his master, this martial arts training is also
There is no need to continue.
As long as you take time to stretch your muscles and bones every day, it is enough to prevent your martial arts from deteriorating.
"It's not too late now, let's go back to Guobei County." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
Immediately he closed the doors and windows in the Taoist temple, took the golden gun and the golden goose bow, and strode down the mountain.
He did not leave Qianliju behind.
Because according to daily habits, martial arts training lasts for twenty days. No one has time to take care of the horses, so they have always asked the guards to take them back. Who knew they would leave so early today.
After packing up, Li Xiuyuan walked down the mountain and prepared to return to Guobei County.
When he walked to Xiahe Village, he suddenly saw Liu Laogen, a villager who had returned from farming.
He thought of something and called out: "Liu Laogen, come here."
"Young Master?" Liu Laogen smiled and greeted him respectfully.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Do a job for me."
"The job of the eldest young master must be a good job, so please give me your instructions." Liu Laogen said.
Li Xiuyuan pointed to the Taoist temple on the mountain and said: "My master has gone out during this time and is not in the Taoist temple. I am worried that the Taoist temple will be deserted and unattended. You can take care of it for me every now and then. Once this is done, there will be no need to worry about it."
Your rent for the second half of the year."
"Don't worry, young master, leave this matter to me. I will ensure that the Taoist temple is kept clean and there won't even be a single mosquito." Liu Laogen immediately said excitedly.
Cleaning the Taoist temple is nothing more than a chore. If you can avoid paying the rent for the second half of the year, that will be a real benefit.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "If my master doesn't come in the second half of the year, then you can continue to take care of it next year, and I will also give you a rent exemption."
"Thank you very much, young master. Thank you very much, young master." Liu Laogen smiled with wrinkles on his face and thanked him repeatedly.
"I'm leaving, you go and do your work." Li Xiuyuan said.
Liu Laogen then left happily.
When Li Xiuyuan saw him like that, he couldn't help but smile. Farmers in this world are simple, and they were so happy to be exempted from half a year's rent.
However, he didn't want to ruin this innocence, so he never gave real money to the poor casually, because in his opinion, teaching people to fish is worse than teaching people to fish, which can allow them to earn from their labor and make peace of mind. Why not.
Just when he was about to leave Xiahe Village, he passed by the village entrance and met Aunt Wang.
"Hey, young master, why are you here?" Aunt Wang said in surprise when she saw Li Xiuyuan.
"Where would I be if I weren't here?" Li Xiuyuan laughed.
Aunt Wang said quickly, "No, that's not what I meant. Didn't the young master meet that girl of mine when he came down from the mountain?"
"Which girl from your family went up the mountain to look for me?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Who else is there? It's the Widow Du whom the eldest young master brought back from the woods some time ago. She saw the eldest young master return to the Taoist temple earlier. She prepared a pot of rice wine and a few side dishes, and planned to go up the mountain to thank the eldest young master for his kindness.
Where's the life-saving grace? It's been a while since I left. Didn't the young master see it?" Aunt Wang asked curiously.
"There is only one way to go down and up the mountain. I didn't see Widow Du." Li Xiuyuan shook his head.
"That's weird. Where did my girl go? Maybe she was kidnapped by the mandrill again." Aunt Wang muttered.
He does not mean that.
Li Xiuyuan frowned: "Maybe I missed it for a while. There are so many mandrills here. I killed the mandrill last time. There should be no more. But there is no one in the Taoist temple at the moment. If she goes to the mountain to look for it,
I'm afraid I can't find her, so I'd better go back and have a look, so as not to make her wait in the Taoist temple for no reason. After all, inviting me to a drink is a kind gesture."
"If the eldest young master has something to do, I can go back for him." Aunt Wang said.
"Forget it, I'll go there myself." Li Xiuyuan said, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
There is only one road from this Taoist temple to Xiahe Village, which is straight and straight. If someone goes up the mountain, it is impossible not to see it.
I'm afraid that Widow Du is just like Aunt Wang said, and something unexpected happened on the road.
Immediately, Li Xiuyuan turned around and headed back towards the Taoist temple.
