The invitations are very exquisitely made, with gold on a red background, and they cost a lot of money.

The father and daughter of the Zhang family came to send the invitation in person, which shows the sincerity of the attitude.

"Dao Chief, you are the benefactor of the Zhang family, and the day of the little girl's visit to the church must come. ”

Zhang Wancai pleaded.

Lin Yi didn't answer, and pushed the invitation back into Zhang Wan'er's hand, "Miss Wan'er can find a good home, Poor Dao is really happy, but this matter is exempt, Poor Dao has always been unhappy to join in the fun, please forgive the rudeness." ”

He really didn't want to go to this kind of thing.

First, I delay my own cultivation, and secondly, I don't like to deal with things on the scene, which is too cumbersome and troublesome.

Zhang Wancai and Zhang Wan'er looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Yi got up and said with a smile: "In this way, Poor Dao will give Miss Wan'er a congratulatory gift to express her heart." ”

With that, he walked over to the table, took out the pen and paper he usually used to draw talismans, and spread it out.

The father and daughter of the Zhang family and Jiang Ming were very curious, and came over to take a look.

But I saw Lin Yi spread out the yellow paper, cut it into long pieces, and then dipped the pen in ink, and painted on it, very skillfully.

One stroke at a time, the pen marks are peculiar.

It's like a long dragon.

They are laymen, who do not understand the mystery at all, and only feel that the strokes are disordered.

In fact, Lin Yi drew the talisman of the Eight Classics.

This talisman has one hundred and eight strokes, which is a low-level talisman, but it is very suitable as a gift.

The name of the symbol is called "peace charm".

Many Taoist priests who are mixed with the rivers and lakes are most skillfully painted with this kind of peace charm.

I can draw this talisman, so I can eat it together.

Of course, the peace charms sold by the charlatans are all fake.

Without a certain amount of cultivation, you can't draw true talismans.

Not to mention this, Lin Yi went to the end and quickly drew a peace charm.

Pinched it up and gave it to Zhang Wan'er, "Miss Wan'er, this is a peace charm, and it can be carried on the body to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and bless peace, which is the intention of the poor road." ”

Zhang Wan'er was overjoyed, solemnly took it, and put it in the bag she carried, "Thank you, Daoist!"

To her, this gift is more valuable than any pearl jadeite.

She wasn't uncommon with those things.

In fact, the peace charm is not as divine as the folklore, what to drive away evil and avoid disasters, what to protect peace, are all auspicious sayings.

The real function of the peace charm is to warn.

As soon as an evil object approaches, the peace charm will automatically release and turn to ashes.

This thing is just a low-level charm, and it can't be of much use.

The father and daughter thanked each other repeatedly, still hoping that Lin Yi would go to be a witness.

Lin Yi refused.

Seeing Lin Yi's resolute attitude, they couldn't force it, so they had to give up.

Next, Zhang Wancai's expression suddenly became serious, and he began to say something more important.

This matter is related to Anning County.

This county magistrate of Anning County was born in Lotus Village and is an old friend of Zhang Wancai.

Later, Jiang Ming won the fame and went to Anning County to become a county magistrate, and the two often corresponded and had a great friendship.

Recently, there was a drought in Anning County for half a year, and Jiang Ming was anxious.

Zhang Wancai introduced Lin Yi to Jiang Ming, saying that Lin Yi was a Taoist priest with great skills, proficient in all kinds of strange spells, and omnipotent.

How did he know Lin Yi's details, anyway, it was just a boast.

Jiang Mingru grabbed the life-saving straw and hurriedly asked Zhang Wancai to introduce him to Taikoo Temple.

"Dao Chief, I have been in drought in Anning County for half a year, I haven't seen a drop of rain, the people are not living, there is no food, there is no drink, life is really sad," Jiang Ming sighed and began to complain, "Natural disaster, natural disaster, want to destroy me!"

Lin Yi frowned, "I heard about this matter, and there are many refugees in Qingqiu County, all of whom are from Anning. ”

"Yes," Jiang Ming nodded again and again, "The people have no choice, they have to find a way to live, so they have to run to the neighboring county." ”

"There were 50,000 people in our county, but half of them fled because of the drought, which made the neighboring counties complain and it was difficult to clean up. ”

These refugees will add trouble and burden to other counties, and it will be difficult to deal with.

Some counties have even ordered the evacuation of the victims.

"Didn't the imperial court allocate grain for disaster relief?" Lin Yi asked.

Mentioning this matter, Jiang Ming sighed again, "It's just a peaceful county, how can the imperial court pay attention to it, I played more than a dozen excerpts, all of which were sunk in the sea, and no one cared." ”

"Dao Chief, you must help the people of Anning County!"

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, "My lord, with all due respect, Poor Dao is just a Taoist priest, he knows a little about Taoism, Taoism and talismans, and he doesn't know anything else, and he doesn't have the ability to let the imperial court provide disaster relief, so my lord is in the wrong place." ”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then got up anxiously, "Dao Chief, I heard that there are many capable people in the world who can ask for rain from the sky and rain down, Dao Chief, you are a master, can you go to Anning County to do a rain prayer and benefit tens of thousands of people?"

It turned out that he had planned to do so.

When Lin Yi heard this, he frowned again, thoughtfully.

"The adults look too highly at the poor road, the poor road does have a little means to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and solved a little ghost for Zhang Yuan, but the practice of asking for rain is not a trivial skill, and the poor road is powerless. ”

Jiang Mingden was depressed, and his face was cloudy.

"Dao Chief, are you prevaricating or ......?"

Lin Yi shook his head, "It's not a prevarication, if the poor road has the ability to ask for rain, he will definitely do his best to help Anning County stop the disaster, but unfortunately the poor road is still shallow, and I can't help." ”

He was telling the truth.

If he can do it to ask for rain, Lin Yiding will go to Anning County to help.

Because this is a great merit, and it is also a good opportunity to promote the Taikoo Temple.

But there is no diamond, no porcelain work.

Lin Yi will not do things that he is not sure of.

"Alas, I'm sorry to disturb the chief, so I will take my leave. ”

Jiang Ming sighed, didn't stay long, and left the Taoist temple with a look of urgency.

It can be seen that he has anger in his heart.

Zhang Wancai looked embarrassed, "Dao Chief, I've caused you trouble, farewell." ”

"It's okay," Lin Yi smiled lightly, "You are also a good intention, but it's a pity that poor Dao skills are not perfect." ”

As he spoke, he sent the father and daughter out of the Taoist temple.

Seeing that they each got into the carriage and drove slowly, Lin Yicai returned to the Taoist temple and meditated and practiced as usual.

The incident in Anning County set off a small wave in his heart, and it quickly subsided.

It had no effect on him.

However, in his spare time, Lin Yi flipped through the books in the Taoist Temple, and indeed saw some techniques for asking for rain, but unfortunately there were no detailed records.

In addition, these rain seeking techniques may seem unfathomable, but they are actually useless.

Because the so-called asking for rain is just using spells to create a light rain, the range is very small, and the amount of rain is extremely weak.

If you want to rain a real rain and solve the drought in Anning County, unless the gods can do it.

"Yes, fairy!"

Lin Yi was confused, isn't there two immortals living in the Taoist temple, one is Taixuan Ancestor, and the other is a mountain god.

Of course, this kind of "sesame trivial matter" can't bother Taixuan Ancestor, even if Lin Yi asks, Ancestor may not know.

The mountain god is a nearby local god, and he should be aware of this matter, so it is better to ask.
