"You kid!"

Ji Chengye smiled helplessly, and then took out a thousand yuan from his 40,000 yuan of private money and handed it to Ji Shaotian: "Here, can you shut your mouth?" ”

"Uh......"

After Ji Shaotian took the money, he still felt that something was wrong.

Ji Chengye saw Ji Shaotian frowning, and said, "Don't think you have enough money?" I usually give you pocket money, don't be too greedy, you kid. ”

"It's not."

Ji Shaotian shook his head, still frowning and said: "Dad, in fact, I think it's understandable that you make money and hide some private money, but you earned 50,000 yuan and hid 40,000 yuan behind your mother's back, which is a bit too much, right?" It's because you're too greedy, you don't smoke or drink, why are you hiding so much private money? ”

As he spoke, Ji Shaotian stretched out his head and looked left and right at the main hall, there was a screen on the left and right sides of the Sanqing portrait in the main hall, the left was the "Tibetan Scripture Pavilion", and the right was the place where various magic weapons and talismans were placed.

Now, Ji Shaotian suspects that there must be a huge amount of money hidden in these two places, if Dad hides a lot of money every time he makes extra money.

"Haha, okay, if you can think of this layer, it seems that you have grown up."

Questioned by his son, Ji Chengye was not cramped, but smiled with relief and continued: "Dad must have done this for a reason, Shaotian, you come with me." ”

As he spoke, Ji Chengye walked to the "Scripture Pavilion" on the left side of the main hall, which was actually just a few rows of bookshelves full of classics.

Ji Shaotian followed, entered the Tibetan Golden Pavilion, Ji Chengye blocked the entrance with the screen, and closed the yellow curtain to cover it, and then moved the bookshelf placed in the corner of the wall.

The inner wall of the main hall is the previous lime wall, which has been a little yellowed, but it is still quite strong, the floor tiles are carved in stone, and each piece is a flat square, which can be imagined to be a big project when the temple was built thousands of years ago.

"Dad's private money is quite hidden."

Ji Shaotian's eyes searched for clues on the walls and floor tiles, but he didn't see any clues for a long time.

At this time, Ji Chengye looked back at Ji Shaotian, instructed him to take a few steps back, then squatted down, took out the keychain from his pocket, broke a small folding knife on it, and pried up the corner of the floor tile.

After the floor tiles were pried up, there was a square raised stone below, the skin of the stone was smooth, and Ji Chengye pressed the stone hard.

Swish!

After pressing the stone, the 3x3 floor tile surface near the corner of the wall immediately began to sink, and there was a hollow secret passage underneath.

"Holy!"

Ji Shaotian thought that there was a secret compartment here at most to hide private money, but he never expected it to be a secret passage!

"Come, come down with me."

The 3x3 floor tile surface is a rotating structure, and after sinking, it was set aside by Ji Chengye, revealing the secret passage, Ji Chengye has gone down, this is Ji Shaotian's father, although Ji Shaotian was surprised, but there was nothing to be afraid of, so he immediately followed carefully.

In the secret passage is a staircase that goes down obliquely, the stairs are all very old stone carvings, and there are electric lights hanging next to the walls, which should have been installed by Ji Chengye later.

The secret passage is not deep, Ji Shaotian followed Ji Chengye and soon came to the bottom, at the bottom is an open "hall", which is also electrified, equipped with several high-light lights, under the light, Ji Shaotian saw that the "hall" is a natural stalactite, and there are no traces of too much excavation around, this is a natural cave.

"This is the biggest secret of our Chaotian Temple, and our ancestors of the Ji family first discovered this natural immortal cave mansion and built a Taoist temple on this basis." Ji Chengye's tone was proud.

"Dad, the location where you hide your private money is really hidden!"

Ji Shaotian kept looking around, in fact, the furnishings in this cave are not very good, the middle is a large stone platform painted with Taiji patterns, there are a few futons in the middle, the north stone wall is chiseled out of a large groove, and the shelf inside is placed on the tablet of the ancestors of the Ji family.

The rest is some simple Taoist furnishings, only residual incense in the pure copper incense burner, a few mahogany swords and compasses on the Dharma platform, there is a large carved gossip pattern on the deepest stone wall, and there is also a shelf with a small wooden box on it.

That's all, except that the air here smells the same as outside, and there should be some hidden vents, there is nothing special.

When he went down to the secret passage, Ji Shaotian thought that there was some treasure hidden here, but now he was a little disappointed.

"Haha, if it weren't for the ancestors' testament, I would have taken your mother down to see it a long time ago. Shaotian, come here, kowtow to the ancestors first. ”

Ji Chengye beckoned to Ji Shaotian, Ji Shaotian went over to kowtow with him, and he also looked curiously at the names of the ancestors of the Ji family on the tablet.

"That's where I hide my money."

After kowtowing to incense, Ji Chengye took out an iron box from under the ancestral tablet shelf, the box was unlocked, and only two yellow talismans were pasted. After opening it, Ji Shaotian's eyes immediately widened, and it was full of red banknotes.

"Dad! You have so much private money! Do you ...... every time"

"Yes, since I married your mother, every time I have kept my extra money private." Ji Chengye is also a little weak-hearted.

"How much does this cost?"

"Maybe a few million, in fact, you had five or six hundred thousand when you were not born......

"Uh......" Ji Shaotian was stunned, "So this is your private money that you have saved for almost twenty years?" ”

Ji Chengye nodded, but Ji Shaotian was stunned and said, "Just keep it like this?" Haven't thought about investing in it? In the past, if you used to buy a house if you made money from your own house, how could it be more than a few million here? ”

Although a few million is a lot, if you bought a house earlier, it will be tens of millions now, Ji Shaotian is a little heartbroken.

"Your father and I are a Taoist priest, and I don't care about doing those speculative things." Ji Chengye was arrogant, and when he saw Ji Shaotian's face of disbelief, he said helplessly: "Okay, Dad, I don't have much economic brains, but I can't blame me, I tell fortunes with people to see feng shui, leak the heavenly secrets, and commit the taboo of 'three shortages', if it weren't for this yellow talisman, I wouldn't even be able to save these millions." ”

Ji Chengye patted the yellow charm on the iron box.

The so-called "three deficiencies" originate from the "three deficiencies and five disadvantages" of the Yin and Yang family, which refers to the Yin and Yang family leaking the heavenly opportunity and will suffer retribution, the three shortages are the lack of money, life, and power, and the five disadvantages are widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability.

Therefore, many wise fortune tellers and feng shui masters in ancient times were either blind, lame, or lonely in old age, or middle-aged widowed, or very poor.

Ji Chengye is "short of money".

But he was a Taoist priest after all, so he used the "Zhencai Fu" to keep the money.

At this point, it was useless for Ji Shaotian to complain, he asked, "Dad, what are you saving all this money for?" ”

Ji Shaotian, the financial manager of the family, understands that his parents support the elderly, as well as the money he will use for his future marriage, his mother has made clear arrangements, and there is really no need for additional preparations.

Ji Chengye looked at Ji Shaotian and said, "Rebuild the Taoist Temple!" ”

Really!

In fact, Ji Shaotian also guessed that since the Taoist temple was damaged in the turmoil of modern times, the biggest dream of the two generations of grandfather and father is to rebuild the Taoist temple.

"Okay, Dad, I understand you, don't worry, I won't tell Mom." Ji Shaotian patted Ji Chengye on the shoulder.

Ji Chengye looked at Ji Shaotian with emotion: "He is worthy of being a good son of the Ji family, in fact, she will definitely support me if you tell your mother, but the ancestral training is difficult to disobey." ”

"Dad, how much budget does it cost to rebuild the Taoist temple? How long do you plan to save? Ji Shaotian asked again.

Ji Chengye became solemn again, and said: "According to the current prices, it will cost at least hundreds of millions to rebuild the whole picture of the Taoist temple, but don't be afraid, I plan to save until I am 50 years old and start construction, how much can I recover, and I will have you in the future." ”

"Okay."

It is the family mission to rebuild the Taoist temple, and Ji Shaotian has no reason to refuse, anyway, if it can't be built, there will be a next generation, so it's not in a hurry.

"Come on, Dad! But ......"

Looking at the red, green, and green banknotes in the box, Ji Shaotian sighed: "Dad, I advise you to exchange this money for gold to maintain its value." ”

Ji Chengye's face froze, and he slapped his head and said, "That's right!" How I didn't think of it before! ”

Over the years, the RMB has been depreciating, and he is also suffering, Ji Shaotian was not born, and the money he saved could buy a house and have a surplus, now that Ji Shaotian has grown so big, his money has also increased several times, but .........

I can only buy a house!

"Alas!"

Ji Shaotian sighed slightly, his father was too financially minded, and he missed the opportunity to be a rich second generation in vain.

But it can't be helped, what economic acumen do you expect the Taoist priest to have?
