Now that the local living city god has taken over the jumping incident, I don't have to pay attention to it. The old man and the old lady will be chased by black and white, and the corpse will be handled by the police, so it will be nothing to do with me.

The substitute master accepted a female apprentice, and then he was his own person. I told the little sister to lock the door, have a good rest, and I will take her back to see the master tomorrow. Then they rested.

In the morning, I took a shower, changed back into civilian clothes, and packed up my things and went downstairs.

In the lobby, the little sister also packed her luggage and was sitting in the lobby waiting for me. When the little sister saw me coming down, she didn't know what to call me for a while. She looked at me excitedly and said Mr. Chen, breakfast has been prepared.

When I saw the breakfast on the coffee table, my heart warmed, and I said thank you, and then sat down. The little sister opened the box, and there were wontons inside, which were very smooth and fragrant.

I had breakfast with my sister and waited for the boss to come over. The boss came over, the little sister told him the reason, and the boss also heard about last night's incident and didn't dare not let go. Then the salary was settled, and the little sister carried her luggage and got into the car with me.

From the boss's gaze, he must have thought that the little junior sister was abducted by me. Hehe, how can there be! It's just that there are too few people in Nanzhenguan.

The little sister sitting in the co-pilot was very excited, her eyes were confused, and she couldn't help turning her head to look at me. As I drove, I said, "Just call me senior brother in the future."

She nodded violently and said thank you, senior brother, for giving me a chance. I smiled wryly and said that if you see the environment of the Taoist temple, you won't say that.

Now I don't even have a place to live, so I have a headache about how to arrange it.

When I arrived in Nancun, I saw a lot of people from the construction team, who were busy on the side of the road. There is a construction team for road construction, a construction team for water and electricity installation, and a construction team for building Taoist temples. There are a lot of building materials piled up on the side of the road.

After parking the car in front of the store, the boss came out curiously to see, and when he saw that it was me who got out of the car, he quickly ran over.

"Hello owner! You're here? "I was greeted warmly by the owner of the shop.

"You don't need to call me boss, just call me Chen Daheng. I'm not a boss, I'm a Taoist. ”

"How can this work? Then I'll call you Daochang Chen! ”

Chen Daochang? Am I that old? I'm only twenty-six or seventeen, okay?

"I'm a junior, you just call me Daheng! I don't even care. You call me Daochang Chen, and call me old. ”

"Hehehe, good! Brother Daheng, now the road to the parking lot has been paved, and it will be open to traffic in a few days. The road from the parking lot to the Taoist temple is still being repaired, and the cement can be paved in the next few days. Also, water and electricity are already in place. The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.

"It's okay, I'm just here to take a look, not to oversee the work. You're busy with your go! I took my sister up the mountain. ”

"Hey! Good, good, good. The boss went back to the store with a smile on his face. This cloth is equipped with water and electricity, and it is estimated that he has also earned a lot.

The little sister was looking at me with a bag of luggage, and I took it and said, let's go!

Bypassing the store, I saw the cement road that had been paved, the width was very standard, and the materials were sufficient. The roadbed on both sides was reinforced with stones. We followed the construction team to the parking lot, which was also paved with cement and had several improvised tents set up on it, where the machines and workers were stacked.

Go up the mountain road to the Taoist temple. The stairs have been widened and reinforced on both sides, but they have not yet been paved with cement, so they are more difficult to walk.

After climbing the mountain for half an hour, the younger sister was tired and sweaty, snoring and panting, and her face was red from the sun.

I said grab the duffel bag and I'll pull you. She didn't want to, so she had to go on her own. Whatever you want! It's not me who is tired. After walking for almost an hour, I finally saw the Taoist temple in the distance.

I stood in the shade of a tree and watched the workers working not far away, and my sister wiped her sweat while looking at the Taoist temple in the distance.

"Senior brother! This is our Taoist temple? ”

"Yes, it's only been a month since the start of construction, and it won't be completed until the end of the year."

"And where do I live?"

"I don't know, let's wait until I see the master!"

"Huh?" The junior sister sighed, glanced around, her eyes were full of doubts, and there were barren mountains and mountains everywhere.

The square of the Taoist temple has been leveled, and water and electricity have been installed. Now the construction team has done a good job of the foundation of the Taoist temple, and the entire foundation is a little wider than the original, and it has also been raised to two meters. The square is surrounded by piles of wood, and carpenters are at work.

The brick and wood structure of the Taoist temple is to do a good job of the foundation platform, and then build the frame. It is a beam-lifting bucket arch structure, and finally the wall is built, and then the glazed tiles are added. After tiling, it is decorated, and then painted. After placing the idol, you can move in.

Another construction team is building two rows of bungalows. Now the green tiles are being put on, and the tiles are good, and the walls can be plastered and scraped putty. It seems that the bungalow area will be able to move in next month.

As I walked, I watched the carpenters planing the big columns, when the two foremen came running over and said that the boss was coming?

Hehe, everyone calls me boss, but in fact, I am a Taoist priest. I said just call me Daheng, you don't need to call me boss. The contractor smiled and then introduced me to the progress of the construction. The contractor of the road repair also patted his chest and promised that in another month, the road to the Taoist temple would be ready to use, and the square would be paved again.

I said you just need to do it quickly, you don't have to report it to me, I just came to take a look.

The two foremen nodded, and then went their separate ways.

I walked to the two rows of bungalows, and the old farmer saw me and came over. I said don't call me boss, just call me Daheng.

The old farmer smiled and said Daheng! These bungalows are also almost repaired, and they will be completed by the end of the month, and they will be ready to move in after a month's drying.

I nodded and said very well, I'm still worried that my sister won't have a place to live.

Sister? The old farmer was very strange, he was very familiar with my master, and he only knew that there was such an apprentice as me, and he had never heard of a female apprentice. So he looked at the little junior sister next to him.

I said that I collected it for the master, and brought it over today to apprentice. The old farmer let out an 'oh', and then looked at his sister again. The junior sister smiled and said that the uncle was good.

After seeing the construction site, I pulled my sister to a place where there was no one and said to grab my arm. What did my sister say? I told you to grab it, and she reached over and grabbed my arm.

In an instant, we appeared in the master's courtyard. The junior sister screamed 'ah', then turned her head to look around, and opened her mouth wide with a surprised expression. "Senior brother, ...... you, what kind of spell did you just have?"

"Piercing the wall!"

"Where is this?"

"Where the master lives."

The puppy in the yard grew a little bit bigger, and when he turned to see me, he wagged his tail and ran over.

When the younger sister heard that it was where the master lived, she looked at the door expectantly. I put down my luggage and walked over to call the master. The master answered inside and walked out. He looked at his sister strangely and said, Who is this?

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the master is now full of red light, and it is his long-cherished wish in this life to be able to rebuild the Nanzhen Temple. So although the master is over eighty years old, his mental strength is less than seventy.

"Master, this is a female apprentice I helped you take in yesterday."

"The female apprentice who helped me collect it?"

Then I told the master about last night's incident, and he said that since this is the case, let's come in and apprentice!

followed the master into the hall, and there was a statue of the Sanqing patriarch in the middle. The master took out the sandalwood, lit the sandalwood, and knelt down to the Sanqing patriarch, and then turned around and asked the name of the junior sister, followed by a chatter.

After chanting, he asked the junior sister to bow to the patriarch of Sanqing three times and bow nine times, the master sat on the rotten bamboo chair, and the junior sister knelt down to the master again.

Finish. It's as simple as that.

The master said that according to the old practice, Xiaolan wants to bring five buckets of rice, our Taoism used to call it five buckets of rice, but now it is not popular, just be pious.

If you accept a female apprentice, you have to arrange a place to live. The master is used to living alone, this dilapidated house is a bedroom and a living room, and he can no longer find a place to live.

I said that the yard is quite wide, so call a few people from the construction team to set up a temporary one in the yard. The master agreed, and then I went to the contractor. The foreman promised to build a bedroom with the existing materials in a few hours.

Xiaolan was full of joy, so she happily cleaned up. The master's dilapidated house has been around for decades, and he lives alone, and now he needs to be cleaned again.

My master and I were choked on the dust. The master asked, what does the uncle who sold the sacrifices look like? I described it, and then he let out a sigh and fell into deep thought.

The construction team carried the materials down the mountain, followed by many people, including old men and young people.

There are more than a dozen old men in this class, and there are also more than a dozen young people. Doesn't look like someone from the construction team. I looked over curiously, and I thought that these people were from a nearby village. When they got closer, they found that there was a knowing, that is, the city god. The city god is here, it seems that things are not simple.

The master looked at the comer, and his face began to become solemn.

Lord Chenghuang approached, looked at the master with tears, and then the old man lined up in a row and knelt down in front of the master. The young people in the back also knelt down with a 'whoosh'.

What's going on? I was taken by surprise. When my sister saw so many people kneeling down in the house, she was so frightened that she ran out and hid behind me.

A group of old men all started crying, all of them were gray and gray, and they were all in tears. The young people in the back were all inexplicable, but the old man knelt, and they could only kneel down.

I looked at the master in surprise, and the master was also full of tears and snot, and he was so sad that he couldn't stand on his feet.

I went over to help the master, and Xiaolan quickly took out a tissue and handed it over. The master wiped his tears and said, "Get up!"

Xiaolan and I ran over, helped the old men up one by one, and then helped the master to sit on the stone pier.

"Daheng, Xiaolan, these are your uncles, I haven't seen them for decades. Go and bow to them. ”

Teacher? Haven't seen it in decades? Xiaolan and I are very strange, I haven't heard the master mention it before, he still has such a group of junior disciples. But since the master said it, I will pull Xiaolan to kneel and bow to these uncles.

Lord Chenghuang helped me up, saying that I didn't expect you to be really my nephew, and my brother really accepted a good apprentice!

Xiaolan came out of a bamboo chair from inside and sat for Lord Chenghuang. She also knew that Lord Chenghuang had saved her last night. Xiaolan and I went in to clean up and let the master and his disciples catch up.

More than a dozen young people who came with him all came in to help with the hygiene, and there was laughter and laughter. Then they called me Senior Brother, and people in their thirties called me that. I don't even know how to answer it.

Do a good job of hygiene, and help my sister build a house. There is a lot of strength in numbers, and more than a dozen people work together to build the room in an hour. The rest of the materials made another bed. A few young people went to the town to buy daily necessities for their younger sisters.

I chatted with a few young people and realized that they were not locals, but from the surrounding counties and cities. From their words, we know that after the reform and opening up, the master, as the senior brother, dismissed these juniors.

After the four olds, the temple property is not much, and it is very difficult to eat and live. In the 80s, the master asked the juniors and disciples to return to their own customs and make a way of life on their own. Many people return to their hometowns, and when they return, most of them work in religion-related jobs.

Some sell sacrifices, some do things, some look at yin and yang houses, some tell fortunes, and some give people prescriptions to see doctors. They are all using what they have learned in the Taoist temple to shine again.

This time, it was the second uncle, that is, the city god who informed the junior brothers to come back. Lord Chenghuang inquired through various channels that Nanzhenguan was being rebuilt, so he summoned all his juniors and disciples to come over and prepare to make a contribution.

These uncles all recruited a disciple in their old age to pass on what they had learned all their lives. is also a newcomer to Xiaolan, it is the pair of brothers and sisters.

The brother and sister, seventeen or eighteen years old, are the orphans of the family that jumped three times last night. Their family is already a murderous house, and the brother and sister are also adults, and encountering such a big thing hits them quite hard.

Fortunately, the second uncle was looking for an apprentice, and it happened that both of them had accepted it. I glanced at my brother and sister at the gate of the courtyard and felt that they were quite pitiful.

They stood at the gate of the courtyard with their heads bowed and in a low mood, and no one wanted to care. This understanding, whoever dies in a week will not be happy. Unless it's a fool.

I asked them, why do they all call me Senior Brother and Senior Sister Xiaolan? They said, the master said, only the master is qualified to recruit apprentices. Although these uncles have a heritage, they are not qualified to recruit apprentices.

The uncles were only approaching old age, so they found a young man to pass it on, and they worshipped the individual, not the Sanqing patriarch. Therefore, when the Taoist temple is built, they have to re-apprentice, and then rank them according to their age. So Xiaolan and I are brothers and sisters.

It turns out that there is still such a statement. I thought they had been apprenticed for more than ten years, and I should call them senior brothers, but it turned out that they had not worshiped the Sanqing Patriarch, so they would not be recognized.

In this way, my senior brother is still a senior brother, Xiaolan has been apprenticed for a few hours, and now there are a large number of junior brothers and sisters below. Xiaolan was also so happy that her eyebrows fluttered.

A few junior brothers helped Xiaolan buy bedding and daily necessities, and I followed these uncles and younger siblings to the town to stay in a hotel. These disciples had to stay behind to help build the Taoist temple.

Except for the second uncle, that is, the city god, the other uncles will go back to their hometown after a few days and arrange their families. At the end of the year, we will come to the Taoist temple together and become a monk again.

Stay at the hotel in the town, invite all the uncles and brothers to dinner, and everyone get to know each other again. When they knew that I had invested 10 million alone to rebuild Nanzhen Palace, they were all surprised.

During the banquet, I also told the story of my adventure with the master, so that everyone would have a deep understanding.

Among these uncles, none of them have a bun, because they are still vulgar. However, they said that from today onwards, all of them will grow their hair and become a monk again.

They are people from the surrounding counties and cities, and they are very open in their respective fields. However, a living person like Chenghuang Ye is the first to work part-time in the position of a dead person.

An uncle brought an empty wine bottle and put it in the corner, asking me to demonstrate the Five Thunder Palms. None of them will use the Five Thunder Order, only the head of the sect will, that is, my master.

I stood up in front of everyone's eyes and silently recited a mantra: "The qi of the mixed yuan, the Ying of the Green Emperor, the increase of the authority, the foundation of the dare to fight, the evil and the evil, only my life!" ”

A golden light appeared on his hand, and the words 'Five Thunders' were golden and prosperous, and then he released the beer bottle that locked on the corner of the wall, and pushed his palm forward.

There was a 'boom' and another 'boom', and the beer bottle exploded.
