Chapter 13 Money
"Brother Lu, I was in a hurry last night and forgot to exchange contact information, fortunately, there is only one hotel in this town, otherwise it would be really difficult to find. Seeing Lu Yanning, Qian Youyu said with a smile: "I don't know if Brother Lu is free today? If you are free, I would like to invite Brother Lu to our Wuyi Palace as a guest." ”
"This..."Lu Yanning was really a little hesitant, and wanted to continue to march towards Wudang Mountain, so he asked, "I don't know how far Wuyi Palace is from here?" If it was too far, he was ready to resign.
Qian Youyu said with a smile: "Brother Lu, don't worry, it will only take half an hour to get there from here." ”
Lu Yanning nodded and said, "Then please wait for a while, Brother Qian." ”
"Okay, it's okay, then I'll wait for Brother Lu downstairs. Qian Youyu knew that Lu Yanning was going to pack up his things.
When Lu Yanning packed up his things, went downstairs to check out, and walked out of the hotel gate, he realized that the half an hour that Qian Youyu said was referring to taking a car, not walking.
Qian Youyu drove the car, and soon arrived at the destination Wuyi Palace.
It turned out to be a Taoist temple, on the other side of the mountain where Lu Yanning came, no wonder he didn't find it when he came over.
Qian Youyu took Lu Yanning directly to the backyard. Before arriving, Qian Youyu had already informed Guanli, so when he arrived in the backyard, there were already several people waiting.
One of them was dressed in a Taoist robe, and he was the current master of Wuyi Palace, as well as Qian Youyu's father and Qian Duoduo's uncle: Qian Chengfeng. For Taoist priests, many people have misunderstandings, thinking that Taoist priests are all eating and drinking dew and not eating fireworks in the world, and that Taoist priests are monks and cultivators who cannot get married, but this is not the case. There are also sub-sects in the Taoist priesthood, and different sects have different rules and requirements, some require celibacy and vegetarianism, and some do not have this requirement.
Obviously, the Wuyi faction does not have such requirements. Marriage and eating meat can be seen from the Qian family.
On the side, there are Sun Qian and Wu Xiaoxiao who Lu Yanning has seen, and there is also a little Taoist boy who pours tea and water on the side.
After Qian Youyu's introduction, Lu Yanning saluted Qian Chengfeng: "Wudang disciple Lu Yanning has seen his predecessors!"
Qian Chengfeng returned the salute and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be it, don't call it a senior." I contacted Duoduo last night, you are a disciple of Wudang Tongwei Zhenren, and you and I are peers. It's reasonable to call me a senior brother. "The generations of people in this practice are sometimes really messy, and if you want to talk about the relationship between generations, then there is really a theory. Therefore, in the cultivation world, as long as it is not a direct lineage, it is often based on cultivation and age, of course, this is suitable for low-level disciples like Lu Yanning. If you are a person who has cultivated to a high level, you will often think of it as a cultivator, because it is often difficult to see the actual age of a person who has cultivated a high level.
Lu Yanning was a little uncomfortable, after all, he had just called Qian Youyu "Brother Qian", and it seemed a bit unreasonable to call someone's father a senior brother in a blink of an eye.
After thinking about it, Lu Yanning said: "I am friends with Duoduo, and I also have a good conversation with Brother Youyu, so I can't explain to them like you, senior." So, I'll call you uncle. "It's still a secular name, and it's always hard to call me a senior brother or an uncle.
Qian Chengfeng thought about it, but still agreed, and said: "I invited Lu Xian's nephew to come over today, mainly to thank the virtuous nephew for his righteous action, which not only saved Xiaoxiao, but also helped us recover the stolen things." After speaking, he gestured to Wu Xiaoxiao.
Wu Xiaoxiao understood, stood up, thanked Lu Yanning again, and at the same time took a palm-sized bag and handed it over, saying, "Here are some of our Wuyi Palace's thank-you gifts, and some are the things on those two thieves, which can be regarded as Brother Lu's trophies." ”
Lu Yanning resigned again and again, saying that he was just doing a small favor, even without his help, Wuyi Palace would definitely be able to capture the thieves and retrieve the stolen things.
Qian Chengfeng said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew doesn't have to refuse, this is also what his grandfather means." "More than his grandfather, isn't it Qian Chengfeng's father, Qian Ruhai?
When Lu Yanning heard this, he took the small bag handed over by Wu Xiaoxiao and said to Qian Chengfeng: "Then thank you Uncle Qian!"
Qian Chengfeng actually saw that he was a little embarrassed by the young people below, all of whom were caused by his seniority. So he said to Lu Yanning: "Virtuous nephew, you young people communicate more, I still have something to deal with." He turned his head to Qian Youyu and said, "You guys treat Lu Xian's nephew well." ”
After saying that, he took the little Taoist boy and left, giving up this place to a few young people.
When young people are together, they are naturally more open. Qian Youyu asked curiously: "Brother Lu, I heard Senior Sister Wu say that the exercise you used last night was a stealth technique, I don't know ......" This question is actually very inappropriate, this is snooping on other people's privacy, if it is someone else, I am afraid that I will be angry.
However, after all, the stealth technique that Lu Yanning learned originated from the Qian family, and after thinking about it, Lu Yanning directly launched the stealth technique to hide his body, which is more convincing than any words.
A few people on the opposite side saw Lu Yanning disappear like this, lost his trace, and looked at each other, but Qian Youyu exclaimed: "Brother Lu is really a good fortune!"
Lu Yanning showed his figure and said politely: "This is thanks to Duoduo and Uncle Qian Ruhai's help and guidance." "Directly moved out the grandfather who had more money, and called him uncle, there was a bit of deep meaning in his words, as for what it meant, let a few people guess. Then, he said sincerely: "Please also ask a few Taoist friends to keep it secret, don't spread it, Yan Ning is grateful!"
Several people on the other side said "that's natural", "it's necessary", and "rest assured". Lu Yanning smiled slightly and didn't say much. If you really want to say that you know about stealth, I'm afraid that the few people on the other side know more than you do, and you know more deeply.
Qian Youyu smiled at the two girls and said: "I really envy Brother Lu's good fortune, two junior sisters, why don't we try our luck another day?" In fact, he also knew that there was not much chance, no one in the sect had caught enough ice fish for many years, and the strange feature that was not ineffective in the same net was really too much, but it was okay to try it.
The second daughter is naturally also moved, even if she can't practice stealth skills, it is good to taste delicious ice fish.
"By the way, I don't know what Lu Daoyou's next itinerary will be? If there is nothing to do, you might as well stay for a while, first, you can learn and communicate, and second, when I am injured, I can also take Daoyou on a tour. Wu Xiaoxiao opened his mouth to invite. She is truly grateful to her life-saving benefactor and wants to entertain her, but she has an injury on her leg and is not easy to walk.
Lu Yanning said with a smile: "Wu Daoyou is too polite! Actually, if Brother Qian hadn't come to me early in the morning, I guess I would have left." I'm going to go around. "There is no need to talk about going to Wudang Mountain everywhere, and there is no response at all to learn and communicate, I know my own affairs, the contact and cultivation time is too short, and I don't know a lot of things, so there is really nothing to say. I know this from getting along with Qian Duoduo, every time Qian Duoduo is talking and he can only be an audience. In addition, I don't know these people well.
Qian Youyu didn't know whether he wanted to befriend Lu Yanning or go out for some other purpose, and said: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the Guanli recently, I can accompany me by car, where does Brother Lu want to play?"
Just as he was saying that it was okay, a Taoist boy walked over and said to Qian Youyu: "Senior Brother Qian, just now someone outside asked for help, and the other senior brothers in the view can't handle it, can you go over and take a look?"
"What's going on?" asked Qian Youyu.
Dao Tong replied: "Someone has fallen into evil and sent it to the temple." ”
Qian Youyu said to Lu Yanning: "Brother Lu, I'm really sorry, I'll miss the company first, I'll come when I go." He didn't think it was so difficult to do something as trivial as exorcism.
Lu Yanning naturally couldn't say no, and said with a smile: "Brother Qian, let's go and get busy first." ”
After Qian Youyu left, Lu Yanning drank tea and chatted awkwardly with Sun Qian and Wu Xiaoxiao. I was thinking about whether it was time to say goodbye and leave, but the money had not come back yet, after all, it didn't seem good for someone to pick me up, and it didn't seem good to leave without saying a word.
However, after the embarrassing conversation just now, Lu Yanning also learned that Wuyi Palace, as a window for the Wuyi faction to face the world, handles the requests of good men and women in the world on weekdays, such as drawing lots to interpret hexagrams, praying for blessings and peace, and so on. Only when they encounter something special will they be taken action by the cultivators who are stationed there. Of course, there is nothing to do in normal times, that is, it is good to practice by yourself, and this can be regarded as a sect task.
Cultivation has not reached a certain level, and the dependence on worldly things is still not small, not to mention the income of incense, and helping people in the world to solve some special things is actually not only a training for low-level disciples, but also a part of the accumulation of merit.
Lu Yanning was thinking about when to say goodbye, Qian Youyu came back, smiled apologetically at Lu Yanning, and then turned to Sun Qian and said, "Senior Sister Sun, please go over and help too, I tried a few methods but they didn't work." ”
Seeing that he was about to leave himself and Wu Xiaoxiao to talk here, Lu Yanning hurriedly said: "Brother Qian, have you encountered any trouble? I can't even solve Brother Qian?" I'm a little curious, can you let me go and see with me?" Actually, it's not really curious, he has never done anything to exorcise evil spirits, although he has learned, but he has never encountered it. I said I was curious and wanted to see it, but I just didn't want to continue to sit here and talk awkwardly.
"Since Brother Lu is interested, let's go together," Qian Youyu said, "My father just left and is not in the view." This thing is a bit strange, so let's go together, you can refer to it together. ”
Wu Xiaoxiao also came out with everyone, her leg was injured, but the injuries were serious, and it was inconvenient to walk long distances, so there was no problem in moving in the view.
