In one morning, Xiao Yu read fortune tellers to more than a hundred people. This speed was already very fast, but compared with a team of several hundred people, it was only a quarter, so the speed had to be increased.
In the afternoon, Lao Bai also came to help Xiao Yu. Although he was not as accurate as Xiao Yu said, fortunately, he knew how to cheat, and his age was included, so some people from far away were still willing to give it a try.
.
Xiao Yu and Lao Bai, who refused to eat or drink, finally sent the entire team away at eight o'clock in the evening, and the first day of the new year ended like this.
In the evening, after all the pilgrims left, the Taoist temple became busy again, because it was the time to clean up the income. All the merits were moved to the back hall. A Taoist priest sat there with an abacus and began to put the contents of each merit box
The income is recorded and used as normal expenses. Of course, after today ends, there will be another day of busy work on the third day of the first lunar month, because that day is the day when the King of Medicine became an immortal and it is considered his birthday, so there will still be pilgrims coming.
"The cost in Master Xiao Yu's merit box is fifty-three thousand six hundred." After finishing the calculation, a small man reported the number.
"Wow, so much. Master Xiao's fee has already exceeded the money in all our merit boxes."
Lao Bai sat next to him, looked at the money and said, "divide half of the money and send it to Master Xiao Yu's house tomorrow to give to his parents. It will be regarded as Xiao Yu's day's reward."
The Taoist temple was busy at this time, but Xiao Yu had already returned home. At home, Xiao Qiang and his wife were also sorting out today's income. In one day, they sold more than 1,200 yuan, which is a lot for a farmer's family.
, which is already considered a good income.
"If this happens every day, then why are we growing apples? We can just set up a stall and sell noodles," Xiao Qiang said with a smile.
"Second brother, you sell more than I do in the city. I want to come back and set up a stall with you."
"Haha... It's just for this one day. If this happens every day, Xiao Yu will stop going to school and come back to set up a stall with us. He will make a fortune in a few years."
Xiao Yu sat next to him, sulking his mouth, and asked him to come back to help set up a stall and sell noodles. He was not willing to kill him. He might as well sit in the Taoist temple and show others his fortune every day.
"Xiao Yu is a college student. If you ask him to come back and sell noodles with you, wouldn't that be overkill?"
Seeing his parents sitting there chatting happily, Xiao Yu had nothing to do, so he took out his mobile phone to read the news. However, as soon as he took out his mobile phone, he saw three text messages, two of which were sent by Shangguan Qingzi, and
There is another one from Bai Zimo.
Clicking on the text messages one by one, it turned out that Shangguan Qingzi said that he had nothing to do at home and was going to come to Shimo Village to play. When Xiao Yu saw this news, his scalp felt numb and he immediately replied to the text message: Sorry, there are many guests at home, so it is not convenient.
(Three helpless expressions).
After what happened last night, Xiao Yu was more cautious about this matter. He was fine outside, but if they came to his home, it would really bring trouble to his door, so he had to stop this from happening.
Bai Zimo said that after he was cured of his illness, he asked Xiao Yu five times a night if he was envious.
"Brother Bai, I am so envious of society. I wish you can become a father soon."
After replying to the text messages in turn, Xiao Yu returned to his room and called the mouse out. When he left last time, the mouse said that there were treasures in the cave in the back mountain, so Xiao Yu wanted to see what was in the cave.
, will cause so many spiritual beings to rob it. Of course, before going there, he must understand the situation there clearly.
"I don't know either. When I left, I also discovered that there were spiritual beings gathering somewhere. It was probably a treasure, but I don't know what happened now! It's winter now, and those big snakes are probably hibernating. You can just go and have a look.
”.
The mouse lay on the quilt, raised his head and said something, and then said, "I was in the ancient jade, and I heard Cai Die say that the spiritual energy in the cave in the back mountain is very strong, and it should be something from the spiritual grass."
"Spiritual grass?"
Xiao Yu said with some disappointment, and then said, "I have plenty of spiritual herbs, so why go to that dangerous place to look for spiritual herbs! You can just go and have a look, maybe there are other treasures."
"Yeah, there's nothing to do anyway. You have two powerful ghosts now. Even if the big snake wants to take action, he has to think about it. Besides, there is an adult from the back mountain, so the big snake doesn't dare to cause trouble."
Mouse respected and envied the pangolins in the back mountain very much. Every time he mentioned the pangolins in the back mountain, he would say it out loud, making Xiao Yu feel like they were his godfathers.
"Okay, then let's go for a walk tomorrow." Xiao Yu nodded and agreed, then went outside to greet everyone, then went to inform the ghost corpse, and then went back to his room to sleep.
Xiao Yu spent the whole night meditating and practicing. When it was dawn, he packed some things and prepared to go out. Of course, he would not tell Xiao Qiang that he was going to the cave, otherwise he would definitely be rejected by his family.
The karst cave, called Dragon Cave by the villagers, is at the corner of the back mountain. Xiao Yu has never been there before, so he relied on mice to guide him along the way. Of course, Xiao Yu also carried a bamboo basket on his back and collected some medicinal herbs along the way to prepare for his return.
To help his parents improve their health, they kept walking and stopping for nearly five hours. Finally, they stopped at the entrance of the Dragon Cave in the mountain stream.
This is the deepest part of Dishui Cliff. The mountains on both sides are very close to each other. The mountain walls are covered with thick moss. The dragon cave is divided into two parts, the left and right, both of which are as high as two people. The entrance of the left cave is not big and connects to a small river.
The river water is blue and looks very deep.
The cave entrance on the right is relatively dry. There are some protruding stalactites at the entrance. There are animal excrement everywhere on the ground. A light hot air blows out from inside, which makes people feel very comfortable.
"This is the Dragon Cave. Be careful. If there is anything, just leave quickly." The mouse confessed, and then rushed into the grass nearby and disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the dark cave, Xiao Yu stepped forward and took a look, then lit two pine oil torches, held one each with the ghost corpse, and walked into the cave.
After entering the cave, Xiao Yu's heart moved and he summoned the ghost generals out, and then briefly explained the situation to them.
"From what you said, there should be a little demon living in this cave," Abacus Ghost General, dressed in a black suit, said curiously.
"Yes, I heard that is the case, but I don't know if it is still happening now."
Xiao Yu said while observing the surrounding environment. The dragon cave didn't look very big, and it was high and low. It didn't look very flat. There were some stalactites everywhere on the ground, which had a certain impact on everyone's progress.
.
After walking about two hundred meters, a chirping sound suddenly came from the cave, like many birds singing in unison.
"It's a bat. This kind of thing likes to stay in dark places the most," Abacus Ghost reminded from the side.
As soon as Gui Jiang finished speaking, he heard a crash from inside, and then densely packed bats suddenly flew out from inside, and the whole area was dark, as if he had been frightened by something.
