There is a Qiansong Mountain in C city, there is a Taoist temple on the mountain, called Qingxin Temple, the specific construction date is unknown, only know that there was such a Taoist temple a long time ago. Because it is located in a high mountain, the road is impassable, and the mountain road is rugged, and the mountain is all on foot, so there are very few pilgrims who come here to pay homage.

However, fortunately, the number of cultivators in the temple is not too many, and the old abbot has a total of eleven people, they love each other, they love each other, they love each other, and the daily life of chickens and dogs is very inconsistent with the name of the pure mind.

On a sunny morning, the eleven men will become ten.

Standing on the stone steps in front of the Taoist temple, Ye Xi carried the cloth bag behind him, and turned back three times in one step, as if he couldn't bear to leave.

Yesterday I had a lively eighteenth birthday, and today I was ordered by the master to go down the mountain.

At this moment, her senior brothers and sisters were all reciting the "Homework Sutra" in front of the statue of the god in the main hall, and only the old abbot of the master, Kong Lingzi, sent her down the mountain. Ethereal Lingzi looked at Ye Xi with a loving face, and said earnestly: "Wu Nianzi, this time I went down the mountain to sharpen your heart. The floating world is prosperous, and don't forget your heart. ”

Ye Xi looked at Master Ethereal Lingzi pitifully: "Master, I don't want to go down the mountain. ”

The old Taoist elder knew that she was uncomfortable, and comforted her in a calm voice: "Cultivation is not isolation from the world, you need to go outside and see. ”

Ye Xi bowed his head and was silent, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Master, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that ...... There are too many steps down the mountain here, it's so troublesome, Master, you can carry me down the mountain. ”

The old Taoist elder smiled slightly after hearing this, didn't raise his eyelids, and spit out a word: "Get out." ”

……

Qiansong Mountain is located in the urban area of City C, and Ye Xi is reluctant to travel far because he is afraid of trouble, so he is ready to find a place in City C to take root.

Originally, the journey that could go down the mountain in one day, Ye Xi took two days and two nights. This extra time was not because Ye Xi's feet were not strong, but because she wanted to sleep halfway through, so she slept directly on the ground.

If it hadn't been inadvertently picked up by the second senior brother Wuyouzi, who had returned from going down the mountain to buy vegetables, Ye Xi would have been able to sleep on it for another day and night.

Finally came down the mountain to City C, Ye Xi had no intention of appreciating the prosperity of the city.

She's hungry, not just hungry.

She casually found a noodle restaurant and walked in. As soon as she walked into the noodle restaurant, the eyes of all the diners inside fell on her.

Everyone saw that the young girl who had just walked in was dressed in white, covered with a navy blue cardigan button-down gown, her long hair was pulled into a pill head, and a wooden hairpin was inserted on it.

As soon as Ye Xi sat down, a slightly round and amiable proprietress greeted her, looked at her and asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

"Eat whatever you want, five taels of small noodles will do. ”

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she had misheard: "How many taels are you eating?"

Ye Xi stretched out five fingers directly towards her: "Five taels." ”

Hostess: "......"

In less than 20 minutes, a bowl of basins larger than Ye Xi's face was served.

Ye Xi picked up the chopsticks and "purred" and ate the noodles.

The taste is okay, but it's a little worse than what the second senior brother made.

At this time, the meal had passed, and there were no customers in the store, so the proprietress sat curiously and watched her eat. I didn't expect this small body to eat so amazingly.

Proprietress Boss: "Where is the little Taoist from?"

"Pure mind. ”

"Oh, I've heard people talk about it, it seems to be on this Thousand Pine Mountain, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"What did the trail chief come down the mountain for?"

"Hmm......" Ye Xi was asked.

Although it was the master who asked her to go down the mountain to sharpen her mind, Ye Xi didn't know what she was going to do.

Slay demons, fight monsters and upgrade, or cultivate to become immortals like a senior brother?

Seeing Ye Xi's hesitation, the proprietress smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I know that the secret of heaven can't be leaked, and you don't have to tell me." ”

Ye Xi smiled, which was considered a default, and then continued to eat noodles "snort".

In a few moments, the basin was already at the bottom, and even the noodle soup was drunk cleanly.

Ye Xi took out the money and was ready to pay the bill, but the proprietress insisted on not accepting her money, saying that how could she collect the money from the Taoist, it would be a long life, and this money should be used as a donation of sesame oil.

The two pushed back and forth, and when they saw that the proprietress was determined not to accept Ye Xi, they gave up.

Before leaving, Ye Xi asked the boss: "By the way, boss, do you know where it is cheaper to rent a house nearby?"

"Do you want to find a place to live? I have a room on the second floor that happens to be empty, if the little leader doesn't dislike it, let's stay here!"

"How much is the rent?"

Although before going down the mountain, Master claimed to have given her all his private money, but she estimated that this amount of money would be enough to cover a month's living expenses at most.

This old man won't use the money to buy anything online, will he?

The proprietress said righteously: "I can't ask for the Taoist to live here!

Although he can save money, Ye Xi is deeply taught by the master that he can't take a stitch from the people in vain, not to mention that he has already eaten other people's noodles for nothing just now, and it is still a pot.

Under her persuasion, the proprietress agreed to rent it at a low price and included three meals a day.

The staircase leading to the room on the second floor is built in the kitchen backyard, and although the environment is a little noisy next to the alley, the room is cleaned and spotlessly clean by the hard-working hostess.

After putting away his belongings and enshrineing the statue of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, Ye Xi began to sit on the bed and meditate quietly.

Ye Xi, who has entered a state of meditation, is the most sensitive to the outside world, and she can explore every corner of the first and second floors of the noodle shop.

After some searching, Ye Xi did not find any "dirty things". Probably the reason why the proprietress is full of yang and is dedicated to goodness, Ye Xi thought so, and originally wanted to do a "big cleaning" for her for free, but it seems that there is no chance.

Early the next morning, Ye Xi carried the small bench and folding table borrowed from the proprietress to Peony Park.

Before going down the mountain, she had already inquired with her senior sisters in advance, and only fortune telling for others was the easiest way to do their business.

But even so, Ye Xi, who was afraid of trouble, was still worried that too many people would ask her for fortune telling every day, so she added another sentence to her signboard: "Only one person a day is accepted." ”

The fledgling Ye Xi doesn't know the market here at all, and there are actually too many "peers" competing with her in Peony Park. But there is no intention to plant flowers and flowers do not bloom, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows. Because she inadvertently added this sentence, it played a good propaganda effect among the people who came to tell fortunes, and people lined up every day to wait for her to tell fortunes.

is different from ordinary fortune telling, Ye Xi doesn't look at faces, she doesn't look at palmistry, she only looks at people's three souls and seven spirits.

Taoism says that people have three souls: one is the fetal light, the second is the cool spirit, and the third is the ghost. Look at people's life span from the fetal light, look at people's senses from the refreshing spirit, and look at people's fertility from the ghost;

People have seven spirits: one is to swallow thieves, to see people's immunity, two to see the corpse dog, to see people's ability to give early warning, three to remove filth, to see people's metabolic ability, four to smell the lungs, to see people's ability to breathe, five spirits to look at people's reproductive function, six spirits are non-toxic, to see people's ability to regulate, seven spirits to see whether people's consciousness is clear, whether there is a phenomenon of being possessed by ghosts.

Because the three souls and seven spirits are all things that people really reflect, Ye Xi will say whatever he sees, but in a week, Ye Xi's reputation as a "god operator" has spread in the peony garden.

Those who ask for marriage, those who ask for peace and security, those who live far and near, and even those who ask for college entrance examination questions come to Ye Xi to make an appointment to register.

Returning to the room every night, looking at the names of appointments written densely in the notebook, Ye Xi sighed: Why are there still so many people, it's so troublesome.
