There is a village more than 30 miles outside Emei County, called Hedong Village.

Gu Changqing's family lives in Hedong Village.

There are three parents and younger sister at home.

Although Gu Changqing is not from this world, he has long been integrated into this family after more than a year of getting along.

Both parents are honest croppers, plowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, and can only feed the family all year round.

My sister is seven years old this year, her name is Gu Ru, although she is young, she is very sensible.

Gu Changqing is either learning the Tao in Taiyiguan all day long, or going out to get rid of demons, and the farm work at home is generally supported by Gu Ru.

This made Gu Changqing especially cherish this sister.

Before going back, he made a detour to the county seat again.

Fortunately, Taiyiguan is not too far from the county seat.

He spent two pennies to buy a string of rock sugar gourds for his sister.

When I got home, it was noon, and my parents were drying some dried fish in front of the door.

Gu Ru was watering the ground.

It was July, it was the hot time, the ground was as hot as fire, and the ancient father and mother were barefoot in order to save money.

Seeing Gu Changqing coming back, Gu Ru suddenly pounced.

"Big brother, you're back. ”

Gu Changqing picked up his sister and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for two or three days, do you miss me?"

"Yes, not only do I want to, but my father and mother also want to. ”

Gu Changqing looked at his parents, and the two old men just glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything.

Gu Changqing put down his sister and took out the rock sugar gourd from his bag.

"Look, big brother brought you your favorite food. ”

"Big brother is so nice. ”

"It's a pity it's so hot, it's almost melting. ”

At this time, Gu's parents finished drying the dried fish and walked into the house.

Gu Changqing hurriedly followed up, took out the remaining eighteen yuan from his bag, and said, "This is what I have earned in the past few days." ”

Father Gu accepted the money and said, "Right now, the field is busy, don't run around these days, help the family." ”

"Dad, I'm coming back this time to tell you a happy event. ”

"Happy event?" Father Gu sat down on a wooden bench, drank a bowl of water, and said, "It's a happy event for our family that you don't run around." ”

"It's really a happy event. ”

Gu Changqing squatted in front of his father and said, "Dad, I have a Taoist heart, I can become a Taoist priest." ”

I thought that this news would make the family very happy, but the parents' faces were not half happy.

Only Gu Ru asked, "Big brother, what is Dao Heart?"

Gu Changqing was a little disappointed and said, "Dad, I became a Taoist priest, and my family's life will be better." ”

Father Gu turned his head and said, "Be a Taoist, be a Taoist, our ancient family has never produced a Taoist priest for generations!"

"Changqing," Gu Mu walked over and said, "It costs money to be a Taoist priest, not to mention that you have to pay tuition fees to learn Taoism, but to say that the assessment of the Gong Division, that is also a lot of money, and our family's food for a year is all sold, and we can't make up this money." ”

Gu Changqing said: "Mother, don't worry, I don't spend money to learn the Tao in Taiyiguan, as for the assessment of the Dao Sect, I can earn money by myself." ”

"Make money?" Father Gu looked sideways, "You were born to me, I don't know how many pounds and taels you have?"

"Why don't you believe me?"

Gu Changqing was extremely disappointed, originally thinking that with the Dao Heart, his family would definitely support him, but who knew that they were still too pedantic.

He walked up and down the house, anxious like a fire.

"You are also a big boss, you are not at home all day, and when this year's grain is sold, I will marry you a daughter-in-law, and then the two of you will live!"

Gu Changqing's heart was completely cold, and he snatched the door away.

Since you don't believe me, then I must become a Taoist priest to show you!

"Big brother, where are you going?"

Gu Ru followed out and called Gu Changqing.

Looking at his sister's reluctance, Gu Changqing's nose suddenly became a little sour.

He slowly squatted down and stroked Guru's hair.

"Little sister, do you believe in big brother?"

Gu Ru nodded: "Believe, big brother, you will definitely succeed." ”

Gu Changqing smiled, you don't even know what Dao Heart is, how can you believe it so much?

"Little sister, don't make your father and mother angry at home, big brother will go out for a few days, and I will buy you a lot of delicious food when the time comes. ”

Gu Ru hugged Gu Changqing.

"I don't want good food, I just want my eldest brother to be with us. ”

If I stay at home, how can I change your fate?

Gu Changqing gently pushed Gu Ru away and said, "Wait for the eldest brother, the eldest brother will come back soon." ”

As the sun sets, the breeze blows, and the willow branches gently sweep across the water, causing ripples.

Gu Changqing leaned against the tree and fell asleep.

After a sleepless night, he was already exhausted.

Suddenly, a loud cry woke him up.

He looked up and saw an old man in a cloak fishing with a bamboo pole across the river.

At this time, he hoisted a big fish, and a middle-aged man next to him cheered.

Behind the two of them, a young woman dressed in red, grilling fish on a fire.

The aroma reached Gu Changqing's mouth through the breeze.

His stomach growled.

Speaking of which, he hadn't eaten since last night.

But it's a pity that he gave the last eighteen cents to his family.

He licked his lips as he watched the woman grill the fish, drooling and drooling.

As she was looking at it, suddenly a trace of black gas flashed on the woman's face.

At this time, although his mana was only fifty, he was still very sensitive to supernatural things.

He had a hunch that this woman must have encountered something demonic.

After thinking about it, he stood up and walked towards the opposite side.

The middle-aged man saw him at a glance and shouted, "Who is it?"

Gu Changqing smiled and said, "Passerby, I smelled the aroma here, so come and take a look." ”

He was not angry at all, and came to sit down beside the woman and looked at the grilled fish.

"It's so fragrant, I can't walk all of a sudden. ”

"Goo!"

At this moment, his stomach rang uncontrollably.

"Haha-"

The woman smiled when she heard the movement.

This woman is extremely beautiful, and when she laughs, she is like a flower.

However, her face was pale, and her lips were actually blue in such a hot weather.

At this time, the old man who was fishing also came over, put down his cloak, and said, "Meeting is fate, let's eat a little together." ”

The old man took the grilled fish, tore a piece, and handed it to Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing was not polite, he took it and ate it.

"This guy is so funny, and he's not afraid of getting hot. The woman said with a smile.

The old man said: "A very hungry person, where can he take care of so much?"

After Gu Changqing finished eating a piece, he looked at the old man.

"Don't you eat such a delicious fish?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he said sarcastically, "What?

"Hey," said the old man, waving his hand, "it's okay, I'll give it all to you." ”

Gu Changqing thanked him, grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

In two or three bites, the whole fish was eaten.

At this time, the flames were about to be extinguished.

The old man said to the middle-aged man, "Third brother, go, pick up some firewood." ”

"Don't bother!" Gu Changqing shouted.

He touched his stomach, reached into his bag with his right hand, took out a piece of talisman paper, wiped his mouth, and threw it into the fire.

In an instant, the flames rose instantly.

The middle-aged man looked at the old man, who shook his head and said to Gu Changqing, "Xiaoyou is a Taoist priest?"
