Chapter 15: Xiaoqingfanwai

――The Legend of the White Snake -

Xiaoqing always knew that that Gu Zhendao was definitely not as open-minded and polite as he pretended to be on the surface.

When she hid in a tree outside the ruined Taoist temple, when she first heard him speak, she only thought that this was another indifferent, ruthless, old-fashioned and boring bull-nosed Taoist priest. The children begged him so pitifully, but he was unmoved.

These Taoist priests are talking about self-cultivation in their mouths, but in fact, they don't see how high their virtues are. After only a few days of learning the Tao, one by one, he used some tricks that were not in the flow to play around in front of mortals, taking pleasure in defrauding others of their money.

Either they are under the banner of purity and inaction, and they really think that they have become immortals, and they deliberately put on a high face, so that they look like they are ants.

She couldn't help choking on him, but she didn't want to be broken by him.

This guy is also a bit of a real material. It's just that his steps are vain, his breath is unstable, and he thinks that he is also a cultivator who was forcibly promoted by taking drugs.

Of course, she was still wrong about this. In a few moments, she had looked away twice.

The only thing she was sure of was that this man was not on the right path.

Although she looked down on those pretentious Taoist priests, no matter what, the aura around them was clear and cold, but there was only a difference between strength and weakness. However, it should never be like this Taoist, with a sense of vigilance that makes people can't help but be vigilant, which is somewhat similar to the demon monk who was killed by him before, although this Taoist priest tried his best to cover it up, but how could this be hidden from the monster who was born to be particularly sensitive to crises?

Listening to the conversation between the dead demon monk and the Taoist priest, it was obvious that they knew each other. A demon monk and an evil way can be regarded as a perfect match.

Since they were in a group, why did he save these children? He simply refined their essence and blood with the demon monk to supplement his own cultivation. Thinking about it, he also knows that he must have done this kind of thing before.

Until the second time he saw this person, Xiaoqing still didn't figure out why.

The second time I saw him, he was sitting in the moonlight in front of the window reading.

He was wearing only a light-colored thin shirt, no Taoist robes, no wooden sword at his waist, his hair was not tied up by a hairpin crown, and there was no sharpness around him, and for a moment, she almost thought that she had gone to the wrong room.

If she hadn't seen him before, she would probably have been deceived by his peaceful appearance.

What is he doing here?

By the way, he is here to help people pray for rain.

If it were another Taoist priest, she would probably have only two or three points of confidence in whether he could pray for rain, but if this person was him, maybe ...... Will he really succeed in praying for rain?

It's just that as an evil way, he is completely thankless to pray for rain. So what benefits did Gu Zhong promise him to let him come down?

She wanted to know the answer, so she asked, "I don't think you are a serious Taoist priest, so how much benefit did Old Man Gu give you before you agreed to pray for him for rain?"

It's just that the Taoist priest didn't react as if he hadn't heard her words.

High-ranking officials, gold and silver jewelry?

He can get to this point, a little money, at his fingertips, he will not look at it.

Could it be that it is really an official position?

But what's the use of him asking for an official position?

Suddenly, a thought quickly crossed her mind.

Could it be that Gu Zhong promised him the position of national teacher?

It is not easy to practice, but if you are a national teacher, all kinds of resources are piled up in your body, so it can be said that you can devote the strength of the whole country to worship one person to improve his cultivation, and then wait for him to give back to the country.

The more Xiaoqing thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, she wanted to ask him if this was the case, but when the question was about to come out of her mouth, the words lingered on the tip of her tongue, and it turned into asking what his Taoist number was.

At first, she didn't expect the other person to answer her question. She could see that the other party was not in much interest in talking to her, and he did, and he did not say a word to her except for the one that had driven her away at the beginning.

Anyway, even if he didn't tell himself, she could find out from others. She didn't pay much attention to it.

As soon as she wanted to say something more, she heard the other party say clearly: "Gu Zhen." ”

It turned out that his name was Gu Zhen.

She looked down at her feet, and once again affirmed that this guy was indeed a weirdo, no, it should be said, it was indeed an evil way.

If she were someone else, she would definitely be reprimanded for being disheveled, behaving dissolutely/, and she was really a monster, with an improper body and an unbearable character.

And he didn't even pay a little attention, not to learn the so-called indecent disdain of those sour Confucians, but to really don't care, it doesn't matter. Like, he didn't think it was something to be surprised and repulsed at all, like ...... He didn't think there was anything wrong with that at all.

This realization made Xiaoqing a little happy, although even she didn't know what she was happy about.

Obviously, how he sees himself has nothing to do with him, does he?

......

She had thought that Gu Zhen was different from other Taoist priests, but it turned out that they were no different, they were all the same annoying.

Although he didn't chase her all the time like other Taoist priests who saw through her identity, shouting and shouting to kill, it wasn't much better. The words were full of threats, and she was indeed threatened.

Just because of four words: skills are not as good as people

After all, she couldn't beat him.

Yes, she was threatened, if it wasn't for his threat to sacrifice herself to heaven, she wouldn't have stayed. Xiaoqing kept saying this to herself in her mind.

But...... The one who dared to take the monster to ask for rain on behalf of the common people was probably the only one for hundreds of years.

Just like the tone in which he answered his question and told himself that his name was "Gu Zhen", this time, he still used that flat tone and said two words: "The rain is coming." ”

Dark clouds cover the sky, thunder shines, nectar falls from the sky, from sparse to dense, sprinkled with ocean, heaven and earth are shrouded in a huge rain curtain.

Things turned out as she had expected, and he did pray for rain and succeeded. But when Xiaoqing really faced this kind of scene, she couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

The power of two words can come to this!

She watched him talk and laugh freely with Gu Zhong and the criminal guard who had always looked at him unpleasantly after praying for rain, such a modest and dusty side, it looked like another person.

In fact, she didn't like him very much.

Though...... He probably didn't need to like it.

He left without hesitation, she called him behind his back, and he didn't look back, didn't even pause, as if there was no such person as her in this world.

She thought that after so much time together, the two of them would at least become friends. I didn't think that this qiΔ“ was just her self-righteousness.

He had never really said nice things to himself, he had only been a little calmer to himself before, and she was still there alone.

Saying that the opportunity is not on him is just a shirk, an excuse.

Xiaoqing suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

When she asked him something, she either didn't answer at all, or she just came up with a clumsy excuse, and there were very few times when she actually answered her. She should feel that she should scold this bastard Daoist for being bloody, and she can't think of an excuse and don't know how to think of a more convincing one, it's really stupid. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Even if she scolded him, he wouldn't hear it. Xiaoqing comforted herself like this.

The next day, she looked at Gu Zhong and the criminal guards with extremely regretful expressions on their faces after discovering that Gu Zhendao was missing, and suddenly felt that her mood was much better.

Didn't this torture guard still look disdainful when he faced Gu Zhen before? Now it's good, I can't wait to dig three feet into the ground to find out Gu Zhendao, and in the morning and evening three incense sticks will worship him. But even so, it is impossible for Gu Zhen to come back. If he really wanted to avoid anyone, how could an ordinary person with no magic power find him?

She listened to Gu Zhong comfort the prison guards, "It's okay, the real person is idle and wild, and he doesn't like the dirty utilitarianism in the mundane." If there is something in the future, we can go to Qingliu Mountain again and ask him to come out of the mountain. ”

Guard: "What your lord said is very true, I am anxious. ”

Gu Zhong said again: "The real person is in a hurry, you send someone to chase after them to see if you can meet them, and if you do, give a thank you gift to the real person." If you can't touch it, you can send it directly to Qingliu Mountain. ”

Xiao Qing hid her figure and ran to the warehouse, and stole a glance at the thank you gift in Gu Zhong's mouth.

One handle of jade Ruyi, one handle of jade floating dust, two corals, three jade pendants, a bucket of pearls, and some pen, ink, paper and inkstones that she didn't know, probably also extremely precious items.

However, the criminal guards were doomed to return in vain, he could neither catch up with Gu Zhendao, nor could he see him in Qingliu Mountain again, Qingliu Mountain was now only an empty shelf, and it was empty.

Even though he knew that this would happen, Xiaoqing still followed him all the way with interest.

She watched him sweat profusely as he hurried, but she still didn't catch the slightest trace of Gu Zhendao on the road, and then had no choice but to go to Qingliu Mountain.

He called the door outside the Taoist Temple of Qingliu Mountain for a long time, and he didn't see any Taoist boy come out to open the door for him.

He sensed something was wrong in his heart, and he said loudly outside the Taoist temple, "It's rude." ”

Then he simply pushed open the tall wooden door and led the people inside.

Strangely, there was a dead silence in the temple, neither the crane cry he had heard the last time he came, nor the faint human voice.

Someone leaned into his ear and whispered, "That's not right." ”

Of course, the criminal guard also noticed that the situation was not quite right, he walked all over the Taoist temple, but he didn't find a single Taoist boy!

This is clearly an empty Taoist temple!

Xiaoqing smiled so hard that she leaned forward and folded, almost forgetting that her hidden figure was noticed by the torture guards.

The criminal guard sighed and said, "Such a capable person cannot be introduced to the official family, it is really the fault of our courtiers. ”

He stayed in Qingliu Mountain for a few more days, and when he saw that Gu Zhendao was probably determined not to come back, he led the person away with a regretful face.

After he left, Xiaoqing appeared and walked around the Taoist temple.

It turns out that this is where he lives.

She thought that his residence would be the kind of yin qi, but she didn't expect it to be a fairy scene.

In a house, she found a stack of flame charms.

With it, if she encounters a monk who shouts out to subdue demons and subdue demons at every turn because of her identity, she feels that she can throw the talisman out and beat the other party to the ground.

She put them away.

For their sake, it's good that she doesn't complain about Gu anymore.

She didn't know what she thought, after leaving Qingliu Mountain, she actually really listened to the words of that Gu Zhendao, and returned to the county seat where she was when she prayed for rain before, and then stayed in the county seat for a few months.

At the same time, a woman dressed in a light tulle white dress appeared at the city gate......
