Chapter 30 Buddha Saves Those Who Are Predestined
The stone lion is bleeding!
Li Daoxuan's face was solemn. After these days of instruction from his master, he was no longer a novice in Taoism and had learned a lot about demons and monsters.
Master once said that stone lions are majestic and powerful, and can scare away ghosts and evil spirits. But if a stone lion's eyes bleed, you must be highly vigilant, because this is a very bad sign!
This means that the dirt inside has become too powerful and the stone lions can no longer suppress it.
Li Daoxuan knew that the fellow Taoist inside must have failed.
The higher the virtue, the higher the evil!
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan prepared to continue knocking on the door, wanting to give it a try.
He may not be able to do it, but doesn’t he still have Sister Yu?
Looking at Sister Yu in a red dress with long hair hanging down to her waist, Li Daoxuan actually felt... a sense of security?
However, before he could knock on the door, it was opened.
Mr. Huang came out with a group of servants, surrounding an old Taoist priest in a yellow Taoist robe.
The old Taoist priest had long fluttering beard and looked vigorous, with a very immortal look.
There was also a little Taoist boy beside him, helping him hold magical instruments such as the peach wood sword and the Sanqing Bell.
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised. This Taoist friend should have failed in exorcising the ghost, so why was he still being treated like such a star?
Mr. Huang said respectfully, "Master, have you collected the dirty things?"
The scene just now scared him so much that many things actually jumped up and broke into pieces.
There was a hint of embarrassment in the old Taoist's eyes, but he covered it up well and said, "Of course, if I take action, how can that ghost escape?"
After a pause, he continued, "It's just that the ghost was very powerful and broke many of my magic tools. This, Mr. Huang..."
Mr. Huang immediately ordered someone to bring a hundred taels of silver and said with a smile, "It's just a small gift, not a token of respect, but I hope the Immortal Master will accept it."
A hint of joy appeared in the old Taoist's eyes. He nodded and was about to take the silver when he heard a voice.
"My fellow Taoist, it's fine if you cheat people out of their money, but you clearly failed in exorcising the ghost and you refuse to admit it. If the other party believes it and ends up suffering revenge from the ghost and losing his life, then that will be your karma."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the old Taoist's eyes, but when he saw that the person who spoke was just a young Taoist holding an umbrella, he regained his confidence and said angrily: "You little Taoist, you are really talking nonsense! "
Li Daoxuan was sure that although he had some cultivation, it was not high, because the other party did not notice Sister Yu at the side at all.
Li Daoxuan sneered, pointed at the two stone lions, and said, "If you succeeded in exorcising the ghost, then why are the eyes of these two stone lions bleeding?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at the stone lion and were shocked.
“It’s really bleeding!”
"Master, I've heard people say that if a stone lion bleeds... it means the house will become haunted!"
The servants were in a panic and talked a lot.
Mr. Huang was no longer calm. Looking at the bleeding stone lion, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
He said to the old Taoist priest: "Master, look at this..."
The old Taoist snorted coldly and said, "I have already subdued that dirty thing. As for this stone lion..."
His eyes flashed , and he pointed at Li Daoxuan and scolded: "It must be this little Taoist who did something wrong. Think about it, everyone, was he the only one here just now?"
Everyone was stunned, thoughtful, and then looked at Li Daoxuan with suspicion.
"This young Taoist priest is so young, what skills can he have? He is just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to cheat you out of money. Don't be fooled by him!"
The old Taoist priest's words were so confident, and coupled with his sage-like appearance, naturally made everyone more convinced.
At this time some servants recognized Li Daoxuan.
"Master, he seems to be from the Zhenyang Taoist Temple. The strange Taoist who sleeps in a coffin every day is his master!"
"Zhenyang Taoist Temple... I heard that it is so dilapidated that it is almost uninhabitable. No wonder they use such despicable means to defraud money!"
The servants were filled with righteous indignation, and Mr. Huang's gaze turned cold as he looked at Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan frowned and said, "Master Huang, your life is your own. If the ghost is still here, it will definitely take revenge on you tonight. How will you protect yourself then?"
Mr. Huang was stunned when he heard this and felt a little worried.
At this time, the old Taoist sneered and said, "Then I will not leave today. I will stay at your house tonight. I want to see if there will be another ghost!"
When Master Huang heard this, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Haha, then I'll have to trouble you, Master!"
As for Li Daoxuan, he was completely ignored by him.
As the door closed, only Li Daoxuan and a ghost were left outside.
He looked at Chen Ziyu, who looked like a sculpture, and said with a smile: "Sister Yu, thank you very much, but as the old saying goes, Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved. It seems that we are not welcome here. Let's go."
Chen Ziyu's long hair fluttered in the wind, and blood dripped on her wedding dress, forming two small words.
“Kill…all…”
Li Daoxuan was startled and quickly said with a smile: "Don't do that. If you kill innocent people, if Master finds out, I'll be finished!"
"Evil will be dealt with by evil, so don't worry, don't worry!"
Chen Ziyu stood quietly, her fluttering hair slowly calmed down, and her eyes became empty again.
"Forget it, let's go back. I'll buy you another string of candied haws on the way."
Chen Ziyu did not answer, but turned slightly and stopped looking at Huang Fu.
Li Daoxuan smiled, and the man and the ghost, holding oil-paper umbrellas, gradually walked away in the sunshine...
Return to Zhenyang Taoist Temple.
Zhang Qianyang was gnawing on a chicken leg and drinking fine wine, and he was living a very happy life.
"So, my disciple, you went out for a day and not only did you not make any money, but you also spent a few coins?"
He said with ruthless contempt: "What use do I have for you?"
Li Daoxuan's face turned black, and he pointed at the chicken leg in his hand and said, "Master, don't you have no money? "
Zhang Qianyang quickly finished eating the chicken leg, patted his stomach, and said with a smile: "No more, no more. I have eaten up the last bit of silver."
After a pause, he said with lingering feeling: "It smells good, really good!"
Li Daoxuan swallowed his saliva wildly. He also wanted to eat meat...
"How about this, I will go into the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow and see if I can dig up some ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, etc. to sell. As for you, you will practice in the morning and go out to solicit business in the afternoon."
Li Daoxuan smiled bitterly, his face full of reluctance. He didn't want to be rejected repeatedly.
"In fact, if you sell your dragon-tiger golden elixir made from the bat demon's inner elixir, it will be worth at least three hundred gold. If you are willing to sell the snake demon's inner elixir as well..."
"Stop!"
Li Daoxuan said righteously: "Master, I will go to the streets again tomorrow and I will definitely make money!"
In a few days, the turbid air in his body will be almost cleared out. When the time comes, after taking the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill, his Taoism level will increase by ten years!
As for the inner elixir of the snake demon that contains the blood of a true dragon, it is a priceless treasure that cannot be sold even if you are beaten to death!
Seeing Li Daoxuan suddenly become full of fighting spirit, Zhang Qianyang smiled with satisfaction.
Well, this is how I, the Taoist priest, motivate my disciples...
"Okay, go to bed early today. Tomorrow we will both go out and make money!"
"Oh well."
Li Daoxuan prepared to go back to his room.
"etc!"
Zhang Qianyang knocked on the coffin and lay down in it.
"Close the lid of my coffin quickly !"
