Chapter Forty-Six: Master and Apprentice

Wuli County.

An old man and a young man walked in from the county gate successively, the old man was dressed in a fairy cave robe, wearing a lotus crown on his head, lying in his hand with a handful of white hair whisks, a pair of ten-square shoes under his feet, walking on the road, like the fairy in the people.

And followed by a bookbox of young men, his face was flushed, he tore off the towel on his head, sat down on the side, and shouted: "Master, I'm not leaving, I'm tired to death......"

"Apprentice, get up quickly, walk through this county, and you will arrive at Naqinghe Town!" Lao Dao turned around and saw the apprentice sitting on the ground like a scoundrel, and he also waved the dust helplessly.

It turned out that this old man and young man came from another country and went to Qinghe Town, and when they met this Wuli Town, they intended to settle down.

Lao Dao's name is Zhao Shengyou, originally a disciple of the outer courtyard of Shangqing Sect, because he failed to cultivate the Tao, he was driven down the mountain, learned some tricks of swagger and deception, and won some living resources, and the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was picked up by Lao Dao on the side of the road a few years ago, and he saw that he was pitiful, so he took it with him, accepted him as an apprentice, named Mo Li, and got a bite to eat.

The two have been dependent on each other for several years, and their lives are very poor on weekdays, but Lao Dao still spends most of his money on this costume.

According to the old saying, people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, and if you wear a bright outfit, then the common people who have never seen the market will believe in you and throw a lot of gold and silver on you in order to get some blessings.

Anyway, the common people don't understand what immortals are, as long as the old Tao pretends to be, says something mysterious and mysterious, and fools around, they will be satisfied.

No, recently, the master and apprentice heard that Qinghe Town wanted to recruit a few Taoist priests to exorcise demons, and the reward was extremely high, which moved the master and apprentice, and they came together happily.

"Apprentice, there is a dilapidated temple in front, let's stay there for one night tonight!" Zhao Sheng's old eyes were bright, and he saw an old temple standing there from afar, and he didn't want to spend money to stay in the inn, so he said to his apprentice Mo Liyan: "Apprentice, get up quickly, it's there!"

When Mo Li heard this, he wiped the sweat on his head helplessly, got up again, straightened up the bookcase, and looked in the direction of Zhao Sheng's lobbying.

"Got it, Master!"

Although the temple is small, it is enough for the master and apprentice to settle down, as soon as Mo Li entered the temple, he quickly put the bookcase on the ground, no matter how cold and dirty the ground was, he sat down directly, and exhaled white air in his mouth.

"You kid, you don't spread a piece of cloth, how can you stand it when it's so cold on the ground?" Zhao Shengyou stared at Mo Li with some anger, waved his hand and tore away some gray and white cobwebs, and then took out an old cloth from the bookcase and spread it on the ground.

"Come, sit here!" Zhao Shengyou pushed Mo Li, squeezed the somewhat reluctant Mo Li onto the cloth, and then sat down on the side.

"Master, when will we come to an end like this!" Mo Li complained a little, over the years, he and Master have been running around, relying on some deception to barely make a living, and now they don't even have a place to stay, which makes Mo Li a little annoyed.

Moreover, Mo Li doesn't want to use these deceptions to eat and drink for the rest of his life!

"What do you know!" Zhao Shengyou knocked Mo Li's head, shook the dust in his hand, and immediately shook off Mo Li's face of dust.

"When we go to Naqinghe Town and get paid, we will find a good place and open a fortune-telling parlor...... Zhao Shengyou said his plan slowly, and then his eyes rolled, and the old face smiled at Mo Li, and said: "When the time comes, I will find you a family affair, so that I can pass on my skills." ”

"Yes, Master, your old craftsmanship should be left to yourself!" Mo Li saw that Master's abacus was playing loudly, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to say a word, only to stand up Zhao Sheng's angry beard.

"You kid!" Zhao Shengyou was about to set off to teach his apprentice a lesson or two, but there was a sound of rustling from behind the statue of the temple.

When the master and apprentice heard this, they all stopped their movements and looked behind the statue.

In broad daylight, I saw a woman with a cloak and a strange posture coming out of the darkness, and when she saw Zhao Shengyou's master and apprentice, she didn't speak, but just screamed a few times.

"This donor, dare to ask......" Zhao Shengyou saw it, and he didn't panic immediately, with years of experience, he came up and made a mockery and asked.

"Master, I think something is abnormal......" Mo Li on the side was a little afraid, so he hid behind Zhao Shengyou and muttered, "Master, it can't be a ghost, right?"

"What nonsense!" Zhao Sheng reprimanded, he had been walking on the rivers and lakes for many years, and most of the bizarre things he encountered were scary, not to mention any ghosts, and he had never encountered them, so he was very skeptical of what was said in the book.

So Zhao Shengyou stepped forward again and arched his hand: "This female donor, why do you dare to need Lao Dao's help?"

Who knows, just when Zhao Shengyou gave up his hand, the woman screamed, stretched out her hands, and grabbed Zhao Shengyou!

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Zhao Shengyou saw the woman rushing towards him, and his heart was pimpled, and then he found something wrong, and hurriedly hid to the side.

Mo Li behind him was also cold, seeing where the master was hiding, he was also running.

Boom!

The female ghost pounced, as if she was unwilling in her heart, screamed a few more times, and continued to pounce on Zhao Shengyou.

Although Zhao Shengyou is old, his legs and feet are better than the young Mo Li, and when he saw that the female ghost was chasing after him, he took Mo Li around the road statue and circled the female ghost.

"Haha, you little ghost, it's not a big deal, look at the old way and kill you today!" Zhao Shengyou saw that the female ghost was clumsy, and couldn't help laughing, dodging, and it was even more comfortable.

As soon as these words came out, the female ghost seemed to be stimulated, roared at the old Dao, and then jumped onto the platform, lifted the Dao statue, and suddenly, the dust overflowed.

The old Taoist Zhao Shengyou was dumbfounded, and then shouted Infinite Heavenly Venerable, and fled with Mo Li towards the door.

But who knew that it was a providential disaster, Zhao Shengyou escaped without looking at what was under his feet, seeing that the temple entrance was in front of him, but the soles of his feet were tripped by the corner of the rag, and his body fell straight forward, and his hands slapped heavily on the threshold!

"Smack!"

"Master, get up quickly, that female ghost is about to come up!" Mo Li saw that the master fell, and couldn't help but anxiously pull the corner of his clothes, trying to help him up, but Zhao Shengyou turned around weakly, and the crown on his head fell off and was falling in his hand.

"Apprentice, I can't do it, you run quickly!" Zhao Shengyou fell just now, and he also knew that his legs and feet were injured, and his movements remained unchanged, so he was afraid that he would not be able to escape, so he hurriedly instructed Mo Lidao, "Run!"

Mo Li heard the words, where was he willing to go, he had to protect Lao Dao's body and look at the female ghost.

"You kid!" Zhao Shengyou angrily pulled his trouser legs, but he stood in place as if he had taken root, motionless, Zhao Shengyou saw that the female ghost was about to pounce, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

It's over! Today, my master and apprentice will go to Huangquan together!

"Hmph, you filth, you dare to hurt people?"

Zhao Shengyou knew that he was angry when he heard it, and then he saw a young Taoist priest jumping in from outside the temple and blocking the hands of the female ghost!

The Taoist priest was dressed in a shabby robe, but his momentum was indeed full, and after blocking the female ghost's attack with his left hand, he pushed Mo Li next to him four or five meters away.

Of course, this Taoist priest is not an ordinary person, it is Chen Yuanye who came from the trace!

And that female ghost is also Xiao Qi who was possessed by a strong baby.

Seeing that Chen Yuan felt, "Xiao Qi" screamed a few times unwillingly, and then turned around to flee to the side.

But Chen Yuan hated this powerful baby, where would he let this guy escape easily, so he reached out with both hands and picked up the female ghost.

"Today, my Yuqing Sect disciple Chen Yuan will remove this scourge of you for the world!"

Chen Yuan used his vitality with both hands and instilled it into the body of "Xiao Qi", and after a while, "Xiao Qi" shrank his body, and a cloud of black qi escaped from his chest, rushing straight to Zhao Shengyou on the ground!

Hum!

Seeing this black qi coming out, Chen Yuan let go of his hands and spit out a ball of fire from his mouth, shooting straight towards the black shadow!

The fireball technique can not only be stimulated from the hand!

This time, the black shadow did not escape as if it was lucky, and was directly hit by Chen Yuan's fireball, which made a noise on the spot, turning into a cloud of gray smoke and dissipating!

Hmph! Chen Yuan saw that Li Ying's soul was gone, he snorted again, closed his sleeves, and then checked Xiao Qi's body, and after seeing that the latter was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This fellow Taoist ......"

Mo Li helped Zhao Shengyou on the side, and the latter sat on the threshold, soothed the chill in his heart a little, and then opened his mouth to ask Chen Yuan.

Just now, Zhao Shengyou heard Chen Yuan chanting some Yuqing sect disciple in his mouth, and spit out a fireball again, eliminating the black shadow that he didn't know what it was, and he also had a guess in his heart.

"Lao Dao is Zhao Shengyou, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, and he dares to ask Dao You, but he is a disciple of the Yuqing Sect?"

After Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and fed a pill to Xiao Qi, he asked at a glance, and couldn't help but glance back at Zhao Shengyou, who came to investigate, and saw that the latter was dressed in a gorgeous crown and beautiful clothes, and his weak body looked weak, he couldn't help frowning, but he still arched his hand and said, "It's the disciple of the Yuqing faction!"

Chen Yuan has also heard that in Yangzhou, there are three most famous Taoist factions, namely the Yuqing faction, the Shangqing Sect, and the Taiqing Pavilion.

Zhao Shengyou saw that Chen Yuan's face was puzzled, and his old face was also slightly red, so he pulled Mo Yan on the side, and said together: "Thank you Daoyou for saving your life today, the old Taoist name is Zhao Shengyou, and he is a disciple of the outer courtyard of the Shangqing Sect, this is my disciple Mo Li......"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Yuan was a little clear, it turned out to be a disciple of the outer court.

But just as Chen Yuan was thinking, Na Mo Li said with some excitement,

"Dao Chief, can I learn spells from you?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuan's face couldn't help but darken, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Qi lying on the ground, without saying a word.
