Chapter 23: Departure

Bai Zeqing was amazed, and couldn't help but turn his head and secretly look at the Taoist priest, where are so many things hidden? There's no place to hide anything in that broken robe, right? And this Taoist priest is so skilled in throwing books, it shouldn't be the first time, right?

After thinking wildly, seeing the Taoist priest's eyes coldly killed, she quickly packed up her mind and asked seriously: "Master, after learning this, can you protect Brother Qi's puppet spirit from dispersing?" ”

"Can you pursue it a little?" The Taoist priest glanced at her, "Go to the puppet spirit transformation form to cultivate." ”

"Uh-huh, I see, Master!" Bai Zeqing nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Master!" ”

"Don't call me Master, I don't accept apprentices!" The Taoist priest gritted his teeth and said word by word.

Bai Zeqing was used to hearing it, and automatically ignored this sentence. I took a closer look at the token, it seemed to be agarwood, but it was much more moist than it. The front side is engraved with the word "oracle", and the reverse side is engraved with runes.

Bai Zeqing couldn't understand it, and asked, "Master, what are these?" ”

"The Wonju Missionary House can be mobilized." The Taoist priest tilted his head slightly and pondered for a moment, adding, "However, it should leave a record of the case file, so it needs to be used with caution." ”

Bai Zeqing understood, it means that it is not available unless necessary. She hurriedly put the token in her inner pocket and hid it.

She opened the plain embroidered brocade bag again, and saw that there were three pieces of paper, one black, one yellow and one red, with peach charms painted on them, and she understood it at once, and said happily: "Master, this is a rune, right?" ”

The Taoist priest couldn't understand where her smug mood came from at the moment, and said lightly: "The black one is the invisibility talisman, the yellow one is the formation breaking talisman, and the red one is the elimination talisman." Just in case. ”

Rainy day? That sounds ...... Wrong! Bai Zeqing had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and grabbed the Taoist priest's tattered Taoist robe: "Master, where are you going?" ”

"Ningzhou. There can be no delay. The Taoist priest quietly pulled the cuffs back.

Bai Zeqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Ningzhou? Can Master take me there? "Perhaps, I can find out the whereabouts of my mother and my uncle and aunt.

"I can't." The Taoist priest refused without hesitation.

"I want to go back! I want to see if I can find my loved ones. Bai Zeqing softened his tone and tried to explain.

"I can't protect you."

"Is it dangerous?" Bai Zeqing immediately understood, and the word that the Taoist priest had said came to his mind, and asked, "Is it to get rid of it?" And the same as the Taoist temple on the mountain? ”

The Taoist priest did not answer, but pointed to Liu Yuanju, who was walking down the mountain with everyone, and said, "Let the Xuanyuan send rune paper, cinnabar, Lingbi stone, carving knife and wine." He pondered drawing a few more talismans and replenishing a few array stones, and then he had to set off.

"Master, I still owe you six thousand taels!" Bai Zeqing said sullenly.

The corners of the Taoist priest's mouth seemed to be pulled upward, and it dissipated in an instant, and his voice was as indifferent as ever: "Work hard to earn money, I will ask you for it." ”

As the two spoke, they no longer paid attention to the commotion in the wing room and the mountain gate, and slowly walked towards the Medicine Master Hall.

……

Bai Zeqing finally understood why this Taoist priest was always wearing that tattered Taoist robe.

This Taoist priest is really ignorant of mundane affairs!

Picky eater, but can't cook and doesn't like to communicate with people. So if there is nothing good to eat, they simply do not eat and drink as much as they can.

Wear only Taoist robes. I went to a ready-to-wear store once, and I was so buzzing by the shopkeeper that I didn't see a robe, so I ran away. Since then, I have given up the idea of buying a Taoist robe, and simply wear it in tatters.

No wonder to practice.

With his temperament, if he doesn't practice, he will be easily beaten to death if he doesn't starve to death!

Bai Zeqing gave Liu Yuan a very detailed list of materials, in addition to cinnabar rune paper spirits, there are also two sets of robes of specific sizes, ingredients for making snacks and dry food, some daily sundries, and materials for drawing thangkas.

When the materials were sent up the mountain, Bai Zeqing had already met with the monk Cifa and moved into the lay room not far from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

The environment here is very good, and only Bai Zeqing lives in a row of six lay rooms. There is a small courtyard outside the house, and there is a stone table and four stone benches in the north of the small courtyard. There is a flower bed on the east side of the courtyard, but it is neglected and it is overgrown with weeds. Next to the flower garden is a half-human-high water tank, which carries a large half-bar of water.

At this time, the Taoist priest and Bai Zeqing both changed into plain blue robes that fit the same style.

Bai Zeqing tied up his long hair high and looked at the figure on the glass window, very energetic. Look at the Taoist priest again, tsk, her master, what a jade tree in the wind, fairy wind Dao bones!

"Master, you should dress and comb your hair well in the future, otherwise it will be a pity for you to have such a good appearance." She took out the boxwood comb in the pile of daily necessities, and said while combing the Taoist priest's hair.

"Don't shout Lao Tzu, Master!" The Taoist priest said seriously.

Bai Zeqing was accustomed to combing Brother Qi's hair, and soon tied the Taoist priest's long hair into a bun: "My name is Bai Zeqing, the daughter of Bai Yan, the guard of Ningzhou County. Master, can you tell me what your name is? ”

"Leave." The Taoist priest was silent for a moment, but still spoke.

Leave? Bai Zeqing silently read it twice in his heart. A word? Does that count as a name? What a strange name. She pondered and fastened the green bamboo hairpin to her bun.

"Master, I must study hard and earn money well!"

The Taoist priest nodded and added, "Find out the truth." ”

"Uh-huh!" Bai Zeqing nodded, and then advised, "Master, in the food box, are the steamed buns, crispy dumplings, and three Mo cakes I made. It's all hometown snacks that I learned from my aunt. ”

"I'm leaving."

"Hmm!" Bai Zeqing flattened his mouth, "Master......" Before he could say anything, his voice was a little choked.

"Don't touch the porcelain Lao Tzu!" Before the words fell, the figure of the Taoist priest was already dozens of feet away.

The monk Cifa was waiting on the steps there.

……

The two walked to the mountain gate, and at this time, the homeless people had returned to Yuanzhou City under the "escort" of the guards. The outside of the mountain gate has been restored to clean, and only a few young monks with a few small novices are cleaning.

Seeing that the Taoist priest looked back at the monk's room, the monk Cifa hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the poor monk will take good care of the white benefactor." ”

The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "No, don't take care of it." ”

The monk was stunned.

The Taoist priest said lightly: "My apprentice." ”

The monk suddenly understood, "Don't worry, the poor monk will strictly require the white benefactor, practice in the morning and evening, and never delay." After a pause, he added, "The library is also open for her." ”

The Taoist priest nodded, "There is labor." Then he turned away, but in a moment he was gone.

Bai Zeqing stood on Meishan and looked at the mountain gate, but soon he couldn't see the figure of the Taoist priest, and the choked words in his throat said softly: "Master, invincible......

The tone was clear and cold, and there was no longer the joy and expectation of saying this sentence before.

"Daddy is invincible! I'll wait for you to come back! ”

"Big brother is invincible! I'll wait for you to come back! ”

"Brother Qi is invincible, I'll wait for you to come back!"

These words were like in my ears, but I didn't dare to say the words "Master, invincible...... I was invincible."
