Chapter 23: Lack of People and Lack of Money
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the mountain road is steep and tortuous, not to mention, the road is close to more than 30 miles, fortunately, these porters are nearby mountain people, carrying the goods to rush is also commonplace, walk and rest, return to the Qinghe view, and it is sunset again.
Standing in front of the Taiyi Palace, the surrounding mountains and autumn mountains are unobstructed, and the forest under the mountainside is full of clouds and mist, which is really like a fairyland.
A large amount of supplies on the back of the mountain were piled up in the open space in front of the Taiyi Palace.
The breeze and the bright moon and the clouds and the sea have never seen such a lively mountain before, and they are running around excitedly like Erha, completely acting as the role of a big disciple of the mountain gate, and arranging these porters to rearrange the materials and send them to the temporary warehouse.
The bull Taoist priest took a pen and paper to count the registration.
Only Wang Yuanze had nothing to do, sitting on the dilapidated steps in front of the Taiyi Palace, looking at the sunset, and holding the little milk dog in his hand for a while.
Soon the sun set, the goods sent up the mountain were also registered and cleaned up, and a group of porters and villagers who went up the mountain to see the excitement also found a few broken houses and slept indiscriminately, and they all went down the mountain early the next morning.
The temporary tranquility on the mountain was temporarily restored, and Wang Yuanze also got up early in the morning, practiced martial arts and fitness, and meditated for an hour after eating a simple breakfast, and then went into the room to watch the various classics left by the Taoist temple, in order to find something useful for his cultivation, especially now that he has the seven-star golden toad, if he can find some useful information for alchemy, he may be able to make his strength grow rapidly.
Without the elixir, I just rely on my own cultivation, and I don't know that the Year of the Monkey can really enter the Qi cultivation period.
It is useless if the Aiki Pill cannot be refined for the time being, but the Qinghe Sect must have other pills that can help quickly enter the Qi Cultivation Realm.
Especially yesterday, he met two Longmen Mountain immortals who inquired about the news of the seven-star golden toad at the foot of the mountain, which made him a little nervous.
As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
The reputation of the seven-star golden toad is huge, once the Qinghe faction has a pair of seven-star golden toads revealed, I am afraid that it will cause a huge sensation in the Xianmen Dojo in Shenzhou, not to mention that there are more than two hundred seven-star golden toads in his hands, this wealth is enough to make all the immortals jealous.
It's a pity that although the Qinghe faction has a great business and a deep foundation in the past, it has really fallen to the point of no return, and there are many surviving classics, but most of them are useless.
Just when Wang Yuanze was looking at the irritability, he only heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Liuyun ran in panting and shouted:
"Master, it's not good, the couple of men and women I met in the town yesterday came up the mountain, and they were at the gate of the Taoist temple!"
"What?" Wang Yuanze was stunned for a moment, quickly dropped the book and stood up, and after a while, his face returned to calm and said, "Hurry up and inform Elder Niu, I'll go and greet you." β
"Yes, master!" Liuyun turned around and kicked away, Wang Yuanze tidied up his clothes and walked out of the elders' courtyard, passed through several dilapidated palace walls, and soon came to the door of the Taoist temple, and sure enough, he saw a pair of handsome men and women with elegant temperaments, it was Yuan Hua and Lin Qiuya, the immortals of Longmen Mountain who were close to each other in the town yesterday.
"The two immortals forgive their sins, Wang Yuanze is late to greet them!"
Wang Yuanze didn't dare to hold it up, and saluted with a smile on his face.
"Haha, Master Wang doesn't need to be polite, there is not much difference in age between you and me, just be commensurate with each other, my junior sister and I were originally going to leave Qinghe Town, but I heard that Master Wang planned to rebuild Qinghe Temple, so I specially went up the mountain to visit today to see if I could make some modest efforts, after all, the Qinghe faction used to be the leader of my Shenzhou Immortal Dao, and many of my predecessors in the Longmen Dojo were also from the Qinghe faction, and the two factions were in the same spirit, how could we stand by and watch such a big thing!" Yuan Hua smiled and spoke.
Wang Yuanze smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Yuan said that it was funny, this time is different from the past, the Qinghe faction has fallen to this point, how dare you compare it with the Longmen Dojo, please don't laugh at the shabby of the mountain gate, please inside!"
"Master Wang, please!"
For the current situation of Qinghe Temple, all the big and small immortal sects in Shenzhou know about it, but when they walked into the Taoist temple and saw the ruins and broken walls and barren grass everywhere in the forest, Yuan Hua and Lin Qiuya were still embarrassed, and even glanced at each other, and seemed to have a lot less expectations for the matter of the seven-star golden toad.
After all, the Seven-Star Golden Toad has not appeared for thousands of years.
And in the past thousand years, countless immortal sect disciples and even masters of the rivers and lakes have come to search for it, not to mention digging three feet into the ground, but at least almost all the heavenly and earthly treasures that can be seen have been stolen and robbed.
In fact, the Qinghe faction has fallen to this point, not only because the Qinghe faction itself is not angry, which has caused the disciples to scatter, but also because of the various immortal sects in Shenzhou digging the foot of the wall, openly and secretly for hundreds of years, after almost all the good things in the Qinghe faction were snatched up, several large Xianmen dojos only then spoke, ordering fellow Shenzhou colleagues not to rob the Qinghe faction's property anymore, but at this time there are no good things, and the rest are some useless things that the Xianmen can't look down on, such as the hallucinogenic fruit, although it is also a rare thing in the mortal world, but in the eyes of the Xianmen, it is almost the same as garbage, so it can grow fruitfully on the mountain and no one picks itγ
Wang Yuanze took Yuan Hua and the others along the winding steps until they walked to the Taiyi Hall on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the tattered Taiyi Hall and the statue of Taiyi Immortal Zun with missing arms and legs on the shrine, Yuan Hua and Lin Qiuya were stunned for a long time.
"This ...... Since the head of the Wang family wants to reorganize the Qinghe faction, why don't you first reshape the law of Taiyi Immortal Venerable, this is also too ...... That's it!" Yuan Hua twitched a few times.
"This ...... Hehe, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have money, the Qinghe faction is in ruins now, and there is a shortage of people and money, but I have already arranged it...... It's arranged!" Wang Yuanze smiled, his face a little feverish.
"It's good to arrange, all the gates of my Shenzhou Immortal Dao are dedicated to Taiyi Immortal, respected as the ancestor of Xuanmen, junior sister, since we are here, we still have to pay respects, so as not to fall into the courtesy!"
"That's what Senior Brother said, hehe!"
Lin Qiuya's delicate body trembled with laughter, and followed Yuan Hua into the Taiyi Palace, and the two of them each took out three incense sticks from under the lame offering table, and lit them on the incense candles, but before they could be plugged in, several of them actually broke off and fell to the ground, and they suddenly became a little scrambling, and Wang Yuanze, who was watching it, was also red-skinned.
After the incense was finished, Wang Yuanze led the two to a clean side room on the side.
The wing room is dilapidated, and although the doors, windows and roofs have been simply repaired, they are still leaking on all sides.
A coffee table left in an unknown era, although there is no missing arm or leg, but it is also rich in pulp and cracked, it looks like it is dug out of the garbage heap, and the four worn-out futons placed on both sides are also old, I don't know which year and month which crappy Taoist priest weaved, the crooked and shriveled leaves of the grass are branched out on all sides, and Yuan Hua's face twitched and couldn't stop.
"Senior Brother Yuan, Senior Sister Lin, please take a seat!" Wang Yuanze rubbed his hands and smiled.
"It's really difficult to be the head of the king!" Yuan Hua didn't care too much, sighed and sat down cross-legged, but Lin Qiuya squirmed for a long time before reluctantly kneeling beside him.
"At the beginning, in order to protect the foundation of the Qinghe faction, the Shenzhou Immortal League ordered fellow Shenzhou not to come to attack the Qinghe faction, I have been cultivating in Longmen Mountain, and I didn't know that the Qinghe faction was so decadent, and now the head of the Wang sect intends to rebuild the mountain gate, and my junior sister and I can't stand by when we meet, and we are willing to make a contribution, and after returning to the mountain, we will also report this matter to the elders in the sect, and they must be very happy!" Yuan Hua said with a sigh on his face.
