Chapter 9: The Way to Make Money (3)

"It's my dog. Wei Daozi said: "It came to the back mountain, I was worried that it would be eaten by monsters, and I was also worried about you, so I came here." ”

"I see!" Jiang Chen snorted coldly: "Wei Daozi, are you a prisoner and a thief, or a thief shouting to catch a thief?"

"What do you mean?" Wei Daozi frowned.

"You know it in your heart!" Jiang Chen said coldly: "This is not an ordinary puppy at all, it is called Silverquill!

"What nonsense is Jiang Daoyou talking about?" Wei Daozi flatly denied: "This is a cute puppy, how can it be a monster!"

Jiang Chen said: "If you don't believe it, starve it for three days, and it will be completely revealed! Although Yinquill is a very rare kind of demon beast, and its habits are also rarely known, but unfortunately, it is clear that it is known in the next place! Wei Daozi, do you want to give it a try?"

Wei Daozi's face suddenly changed greatly. After he was silent for a moment, he sighed: "You don't have to try, I didn't expect that in a small hall that is not in the stream, someone can recognize Yinquill and know its habits!"

"You admit it!" Jiang Chen said: "Your plan is really clever! The demon beast you raised yourself pretended to harm the village and scare the villagers. Naturally, the villagers can only come up with money and let your Taoist temple exert their efforts to hunt down demons, and this kind of practice is really 'a way to make money'! You are not as old as us, but your ability to make money is much higher! In this matter, our brothers and sisters will explain to the villagers of Yangliu Village, when the time comes, you Qiyunguan master and apprentice, I am afraid that there will be no place for you!"

"Don't!" Wei Daozi was anxious: "It's none of Master's business, I secretly planned it! And I didn't do it for money, but for ......."

"What is it for?" Jiang Wu asked, "You deliberately invited some unpopular Taoist heroes to come and hunt demons together, just to help you put on a show in front of the villagers!"

Wei Daozi nodded and sighed, "Yes, but I also have a hard time doing this, and it is for the sake of Master." ”

"Could it be that your master ordered you to do this?" Jiang Chen asked. When he and Jiang Chen inquired about the villagers, they talked about the old Taoist of Qiyunguan, and some villagers sneered at this Taoist leader.

"Master won't do this!" Wei Daozi's eyes were red, and he was about to cry: "If Master knows, he will definitely reprimand me and expel me from the school!"

"What the hell is going on? If you don't make it clear, we have to shake out the truth!" Jiang Chen was also an anxious person, he saw Wei Daozi talking and slurred, and knew that there were still some stories behind it.

Wei Daozi sighed and explained the reason.

Everything has to start with Wei Daozi's master. Wei Daozi's master, Yang Lao Daochang, is a native of Yangliu Village, and has been determined to be a Taoist since he was a child, slaying demons and demons. In order to cultivate, he visited famous teachers everywhere, and his originally rich family wealth gradually faded. The people in the village said that he was a loser, and he only knew how to pretend to be a ghost.

Old Daoist Yang can be regarded as having learned some Taoism, but due to his own talent, Taoism is not very clever. The Qiyun Temple he built was just a small Taoist temple that did not enter the stream, and there were no believers at all. The villagers also looked down on him even more.

Old Daoist Yang practiced in Qiyunguan, and his life was uneventful, and he was originally uneventful. Who knew that one day, a monster beast with no weak strength broke into the village and harmed the livestock. Yang Laodao fought with this demon beast several times, and finally subdued and killed the demon beast, but he himself was seriously injured, and his health has deteriorated since then.

The villagers of Yangliu Village didn't know about this matter, they thought it was a beast that came out of the mountain, and they were wary for a while, and after the beast no longer appeared, they didn't care. Master is not a vain name, and he never mentions to anyone other than me that he was injured by killing demons. ”

However, the master did not get the slightest praise from the villagers except for the demons of Yangliu villagers. On the contrary, many villagers pointed fingers at Master behind his back, saying that Master was a charlatan. I couldn't get angry and argued a few words, but there was no real evidence, and those villagers didn't believe it at all!"

Speaking of this, Wei Daozi was angry and sad again, and couldn't help shedding a few tears.

He whispered, "Master's illness is getting worse and worse. The doctor invited by the county town said that Master was afraid that he would not be able to survive this year. Therefore, I set up this bureau, originally planning to use the mouths of other Taoist heroes to let the villagers know that Master is a true Taoist hero, and Master should be respected and loved for eliminating demons in Yangliu Village, not insulted and slandered!"

Jiang Chen said: "In this way, you set up this game to win reputation for your master, not to seek wealth?"

"Of course not!" Wei Daozi said: "You can go to the village and ask, for so many years, Qi Yunguan has never collected sesame oil money from the villagers! Master has always used his own family wealth to maintain the operation of Qi Yunguan, and the deposit I asked you Daoists to make this time is almost the last part of Master's property!"

Wei Daozi continued: "Master has never married in his life, and he has no heirs except for adopting me, an orphan, as an apprentice. If I fail to correct Master's name, Master will pass away with the humiliation and accusations of the villagers, and even after his death, he will be wronged and abused. I always wanted to find an opportunity to prove that Master was not a charlatan as the villagers called me, until I stumbled upon this silverquill. I adopted him and named him Xiaobai, and after I became familiar with his habits, I had some ideas and laid out today's bureau. Originally, I planned to make a clever arrangement, and finally let the master 'subdue' Xiaobai, and use the mouths of other Taoist heroes to make the villagers praise the master's Taoist master. I'm worried that other people will see the flaws in this game, so I deliberately only invite some unpopular Taoists. But I didn't expect ......"

Jiang Chen said: "You didn't expect that someone in a Chenwu Dao Pavilion that is not in the stream can see the flaws and mess up the situation you have laid out!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu both shook their heads. They originally thought that they would receive an invitation from Qi Yunguan because of the small fame of the Chenwu Daoist Hall, but they didn't expect to be invited because they were too famous and despised.

"Master often said that there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the scattered cultivation of the rivers and lakes, and there may be some people who have attained the Tao. This time, I miscalculated!" Wei Daozi sighed.

Jiang Chen smiled: "You give our brothers such a big hat, I don't know what to ask for?"

Wei Daozi said: "I do have something to ask for! I beg the two fellow Daoists not to debunk this matter, and I hope that the two fellow Daoists can do me a favor and continue to round this game." ”

Jiang Chen was noncommittal, he glanced at Jiang Wu, and saw Jiang Wu nodding slightly.

Jiang Wu stretched out his right hand, gently put it on the shoulder of Wei Daozi, who had not dried his tears, and said with relief: "Don't worry, we will help you." Brother, do you have a solution?"

Jiang Chen sighed and said, "It's not difficult to round this situation, but after this incident, what are you going to do with Yinquill?

Wei Daozi shook his head: "Of course not! Master's reputation is important, but it can't harm Xiaobai's life." I'm going to pretend to seal it up first, and then find another opportunity to sneak it away. ”

"What if it comes back?" Jiang Chen asked, "If the villagers are allowed to see Silverquill again, maybe they will become suspicious." When the time comes, it will be self-defeating, and your master will be recognized by the villagers as a liar pretending to be a god because of this incident!"

"This ......" Wei Daozi didn't seem to think about this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Master's time is short, and I just want to finish this matter as soon as possible before Master dies. After that, I didn't think too much about it. Wei Daozi said: "However, what you said also makes sense, after this incident, Xiaobai may not be able to stay with me anymore." ”
