"Master, there are only 13,546 pieces of paper money left in the view, you have to save some money over there......"

"Today is your birthday, burn more for you."

In the humble ancestral hall, only a candle with a thumb-thick and a knuckle-long candle was lit next to the inferior tablet, and the soybean-sized flame jumped, and even the words on the tablet could not be illuminated.

Jiang Chou twisted out two pieces of dark yellow paper money from the cuffs of his robe and went to the candle.

After a pause, he took back another one.

"Let's just burn a whole sheet, it's already three times as much!"

Watching the flame tongue of the candle lick the edge of the paper money, and the paper money burned into ashes and rose into the air, Jiang Chou's eyes, which were countless times brighter than candles, flashed a trace of pain in the depths of his eyes, carefully folded another paper money into his sleeve, took two steps back, and bowed respectfully to the tablet in the dim.

The expression was very earnest.

"Master, happy birthday."

It's really not proper to burn paper money with candles, but it's a bit unnecessary to burn a piece of paper money and make a gold bucket.

What a waste......

The moment Jiang Chou kowtowed and raised his head, the first touch of fish belly white came out of the sky, and the sound of roosters crowing in the villages at the foot of the mountain was faintly heard in the distance.

Jiang Chou's eyes narrowed, and he rushed to the tablet with an arrow step, inhaling and holding his chest, and he was arrogant...... Blow out the candles.

"Very good, it can be used for another two days. Candles are a strong consumable in the view, so I have to save ......."

Jiang Chou nodded in satisfaction.

"Squeak", Jiang Chou walked out of the ancestral hall, even at dawn, the outside was much brighter than the inside of the ancestral hall.

The morning light shone on the handsome face of the young Taoist priest, like a clear spring reflecting the ghostly light, and as if the stars were lighting up again.

The whole world seems to have awakened because of him.

In addition, he has a slender figure, and a well-fitting cyan robe is gently tied around his waist, creating a perfect waistline.

It is a good appearance of handsome and dusty.

……

Jiang Chou's soul is not a person from this world, but he traveled here after death and became the son of an ordinary family in Xiaqinghe County, Suling County, Ancient Yangzhou, Huangguo.

When he was seven years old, his parents died in an accidental fire, and he was saved by a wandering veteran who happened to be passing by.

It was also that night that the huge panic and fear made him awaken Su Hui and know his identity in his previous life.

After that, he followed the old road back to this humble Taoist hall called Xiaoqingguan and became a little Taoist.

In the blink of an eye, eleven years have flown by.

A year ago, when the old Taoist priest who was like his father died, all he was left with was a broken temple, a Taoist robe, and a peachwood sword.

Oh, the old Taoist has always taught him to practice, after all, there are demons and monsters in this world, not to mention self-defense, Taoist priests always have to help people exorcise evil spirits, right?

At first, Jiang Chou also had the ambition to ask about cultivating immortals and going against the sky, but after practicing "Taishang Induction Chapter" for a year or two, he didn't feel the slightest feeling, so he had to accept his fate.

We are just a little Taoist priest with no cultivation qualifications, we worked overtime and died suddenly in the previous life, what are we doing so hard in this life?

Open to the pendulum!

However, although Jiang Chou was bent on rotten, he did not learn any compulsory Taoist courses such as setting up altars, practices, chanting, and drawing talismans, the old Taoist priest still forced him to recite some nameless mantra every day.

There are more than 5,000 words in the nameless formula, Jiang Chou has been reading it for ten years, I don't know how many times he has read it, and slowly there is really an extremely ethereal aura in his body!

Sometimes after practicing, I vaguely feel a little warm in my lower abdomen, thinking that I am about to enter the qi refining period, but everything is the same as before after soaking in urine.

The unknown aura was also completely different from the aura mentioned in the practice book, but fortunately it had no effect on the body.

So he vowed not to dream of cultivating immortals again.

After the old Taoist priest was feathered, Jiang Chou adhered to the idea of never being strong, and he caught the ghosts that could be caught, and those who couldn't be beaten were not accepted.

Jiang Chou admonished himself: "I know my strength, it's nothing." This Qinghe County is just a small county seat, how can there be any big monsters? ”

The little Taoist priest is paired with a little ghost, and he will go back to the world.

Living a life like this in this small Qingguan, Jiang Chou thinks it's okay.

Time flies, and now it is the fifty-third spring of Emperor Huangjing.

……

Walking out of the ancestral hall, Jiang Chou was going to put the extra piece of paper money back and put it away, and by the way, count the amount of paper money again.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, he stopped and stared in the direction of the main hall.

The morning light in the eastern sky is getting brighter and brighter, the mountains are recovering, and the morning glow is looming.

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

The rush mixed with a bit of rude knocking suddenly sounded from the front yard, passed through the main hall, and fell into the ears of Jiang Chou in the backyard.

"Anyone? Open the door! ”

Jiang Chou was stunned for a moment, thinking that someone came to incense so early today? But it's not right, those residents at the foot of the mountain have always respected Xiao Qingguan, where would they knock on the door so unreasonably?

……

"Who are you?"

Jiang Chou opened the door and looked at the three people standing outside the door, his eyes narrowed slightly.

All three of them were men, and they were all dressed in gray robes, but two fat and one thin, the fat one was very short, and the thin one was very tall.

The thin man is in the center, and the fat man stands on both sides, watching the formation...... Kind of indescribable.

When the three other parties saw Jiang Chou, their faces were shocked, staring at his appearance in disbelief, and their bodies trembled, as if they had seen some immortal traces.

"You are the little Taoist priest of Xiaoqingguan?" After a long time, the egg on the left ...... No, the fat man on the left gathered his mind, clasped his hands, looked Jiang Chou up and down with a pair of small eyes, and asked questions in an unkind tone.

However, he was too round, and his arms were held by his bulging chest, and his hands fell from time to time.

The same goes for the one on the right.

Jiang Chou squinted and didn't answer.

A trace of fierceness flashed on the fat face of the fat man on the left, and he was about to say something but was stopped by the thin man in the center reaching out.

"This little Taoist, we are from Zhongtongmen." The thin man stared at Jiang Chou, a hint of condescension flashed in his gloomy eyes, and the words "Zhongtongmen" dragged on very slowly.

Hearing the three words of Zhongtongmen, a trace of surprise flashed in Jiang Chou's eyes.

The founding emperor of the Huang Kingdom is the most ancient and modern, not only unifying the human race in the sea, but even the cultivation world is under the jurisdiction of the dynasty.

It is also for this reason that the relationship between sects in today's cultivation world is somewhat deformed.

The most common relationship between sects is vassalage!

Annexation between sects is prevalent, the bigger it gets, and even if each newly established sect wants to develop smoothly, the best choice is to take the initiative to choose a sect to attach to, and then find a way to become independent after the follow-up strength is strong.

Although the small Qingguan is small, it is also a Taoist temple registered in the Huangguo Imperial Court, and it belongs to the most unpopular kind.

And Zhongtongmen is the sect that Xiaoqingguan is attached to.

It's a bit like the relationship between a parent and a subsidiary, and it's a bit like a boss and a subordinate.

But the problem is that for the lowest sect like Xiaoqingguan, the so-called attachment is a process, and no one will notice it at all, and they will not really expect such a small Taoist temple to have any offering money.

Therefore, in the past eleven years, Zhongtongmen and Xiaoqingguan have never intersected.

What's going on today?

"Is there something wrong?"

Even if he knew the identity of the other party, Jiang Chou had no intention of letting the other party enter the door immediately.

Just kidding, I have hoarded so many paper money candles in my view, what if these people look at it and take it forcibly? Even if you don't want my wealth, you can't ask for flowers and plants in the yard!

"Presumptuous! You are a Taoist priest who breaks the temple, how dare you talk to us like this?! The fat man on the left was furious and scolded.

Jiang Chou frowned, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, so why did the other party want to murder me?

There must be something wrong with him.

So Jiang Chou looked at the fat man very sincerely and said, "Are you sick?" ”

If you are sick, you have to be cured, and I happen to know a doctor who has good medical skills at Yamashita......

Jiang Chou originally wanted to say this, but the fat Taoist priest Zuo obviously didn't give him this opportunity, and when he heard the first four words, his whole person's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The little Taoist priest is looking for a fight!"

As soon as the fat hand was raised, the strong wind was blowing, and it was slapped towards Jiang Chou!

A slight hazy white light flashed on the palm of his hand, and the target went straight to his chest, and he was actually going to seriously injure Jiang Chou on the spot!
