I am practicing in the Taoist world to gain proficiency

Chapter 1 Training Panel
"Today is really not a good day, it's so cold!"

Qin Xuan looked up at the sky. The cold weather made him shiver. He wrapped his clothes tightly and continued walking forward.

It's getting late, so we need to speed up our pace.

I’ve gone and I’m going back.

In other words, after traveling through time for so long, he feels more and more desperate about this world.

This is a world where gods, weirdness, and Taoism coexist. The era background is similar to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and the worldview is like Mr. Zombie. It is full of all kinds of magical powers and strange creatures. Danger and magic are almost equally divided.

But for ordinary people, all they can perceive is the weirdness and danger of this world, which threatens the safety of life at all times.

In fact, Qin Xuan's luck cannot be said to be bad.

At least, when he traveled through time, his identity was not that of an ordinary person.

He is the disciple of a Taoist scholar. When he first crossed over, he was learning Taoism from a Taoist scholar.

But unfortunately, not long after he traveled through time, his master suddenly passed away.

As for him, whether it was because of his talent or because his study time was too short, he had not achieved anything in terms of Taoism until his master passed away.

The house he lives in is also the house where his master lives, but it belongs to the Lin family where the master belongs. Because the master is a Taoist and has magical powers, the family specially made room for the master to live in it in order to win over the master. .

Now that the master has passed away, the clan wants to take back the house.

As a result, Qin Xuan, who has no background or origin in this world and has been practicing with his master, has no place to live.

No matter in the past life or in this life, once people lose their place to live, they will inevitably have difficulty surviving.

Therefore, according to Qin Xuan's idea, he hopes that the clan will not take back the house for the time being, or rent the house himself.

How could the clan refuse to take over the house just because he was an outsider?
As for renting.

Renting a house requires money.

And he has no money.

Qin Xuan's current idea is to find a job and earn some money to rent a house.

That's why he came out in such a cold weather.

Taoist cultivation seems to have little hope at present.

Finding a job honestly is a no-brainer.

It's not that Qin Xuan doesn't have a plan.

Master has a friend named Fang Laiming, who is the manager of a bank in the county.

These days, everyone is following the foreigners in everything. The original money bank is no longer called a bank, but a bank, and the shopkeeper is no longer called a shopkeeper, but a manager.

Fortunately, Qin Xuan is a time traveler, so he has no discomfort with this change.

By the way, Fang Laiming was greatly favored by his master back then.

When he was in despair, his master, a Taoist scholar, once made a prediction for him.It was this hexagram that pointed out the future direction for this person, allowing him to successfully change from a beggar to a bank employee, and then to a bank manager.

This is why Qin Xuan asked this person to help him find a job.

With the favor from his master back then, this person should be able to help him find a job in a bank.

Now that I have a job, I don't have to worry about not having enough money to rent a house, or that the house I live in will be taken away by the Master clan.

He raised his head and looked in front of him. Qin Xuan's face was filled with joy.

His destination has arrived.

In front of him was a two-story brick house with a small courtyard.

These days, there are not many small Western-style houses with brick and tile houses, and even fewer with yards.

This courtyard is the home of the bank manager Fang Laiming he is looking for.

Looking at this posture, Fang Laiming has become richer and richer since he was promoted to bank manager.

I remember that last year, this person was still renting a house. Now, he has built his own house. It is still a small brick house with a single courtyard.

With a happy face on his face, Qin Xuan straightened his appearance and went to knock on the door.

"Hello, Uncle Fang. My nephew Qin Xuan salutes Uncle Fang."

Some time later, in the courtyard of the Fang family, Qin Xuan politely saluted a man in his 50s, wearing a black gown, gold-rimmed glasses, and a shrewd look on his face.

This man is the Fang Laiming he is looking for.

After looking at Qin Xuan, Fang Laiming suddenly looked disgusted.

At the beginning, Lin Hongdao only helped him with fortune telling, but did he really rely on him?
His own success had nothing to do with Lin Hongdao's prediction. It was entirely because of luck that he changed his fate.

As a result, both Lin Hongdao and his apprentice attributed their current achievements to the hexagram calculated by Lin Hongdao. Is this really unreasonable?
If Lin Hongdao is still alive, that's fine. He is a Taoist and can subjugate demons. There are too many demons and monsters in this world.

Although it is said that monsters and ghosts dare not bother a gentleman like him, who has not had an unlucky day?
Therefore, if Lin Hongdao was still alive, he might still give him some respect and take care of his apprentice.

However, Lin Hongdao is dead, and a mere young disciple who has not received the true inheritance dares to come to ask for help. Is it really unreasonable?

Looking at Qin Xuan, Fang Laiming had a cold expression on his face, "Nephew Qin Xian, I have already heard about your master. Good people don't live long. Originally, when I received the news, I should have gone over to express my condolences, but what happened inside the bank? , there are too many things to get rid of. I think my nephew can understand, right? "

"Yes, it's good that Uncle Fang has this heart."

How could a person not bow his head under the low eaves? Although Qin Xuan felt something was wrong in his heart, he did not dare to pick on Fang Laiming at this time. After all, he had something to ask for.

Fang Laiming raised his chin proudly. Qin Xuan's condescending attitude made him feel more arrogant. "As for what my nephew said about wanting to find a job in a bank, I can't help you, Uncle Yu." , how can Uncle Yu have the final say in matters in the bank? Therefore, my nephew should try somewhere else. By the way, the dock is recruiting laborers recently. If my nephew is interested, Uncle Yu can do it. Please help introduce me.”

If I want to do some work, do I need to find you?
Qin Xuan was a little unhappy. Carrying work on the dock was almost a casual job, as long as he had the strength.

But for him, who was an otaku in his previous life and has been studying Taoism from his master in this world, the hard work of carrying labor is obviously not suitable for him.

He couldn't do it either, he didn't have enough strength.

At that moment, he said tactfully: "I also know that Uncle Fang is in trouble, but my nephew is indeed in trouble at the moment. I ask Uncle Fang to help my nephew for the sake of my master."

When he said this, Qin Xuan's face was filled with fever.

He was not a person who was used to asking for help. He felt embarrassed saying this, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. The only person who could help him was Fang Laiming.

Damn!

Fang Laiming suddenly became furious when he heard this. He said that what he hated most was when someone mentioned his past, which would remind him of the painful time when he was a beggar.

Looking at Qin Xuan, the man immediately lost his face, "Face, what face? Does my nephew really think that I am where I am today because your master made a fortune for me? It's ridiculous, my nephew wouldn't think that because Master You, you are kind to me because you helped me calculate a divination, right? Someone on our side was supposed to be prosperous, and things were going to turn out well for him. The divination your master calculated was just a matter of chance."

Nima!

Qin Xuan was furious when he heard this.

At this moment, he suddenly understood what Fang Laiming was thinking.

This bitch doesn't want to admit his master's affection for him, and wants to default on his debt.

ungrateful.

As one of the participants, since he inherited all the memories of his predecessor, he is still very clear about the original situation.

At the beginning, when the master told this person's fortune, it was not just as simple as calculating this person's luck.But after doing a divination for this person, he discovered that there was an opportunity in this person's destiny that could make people prosperous, so the master told Luo Xicai, the boss of Luo's Bank, about this when he asked him to perform a ritual.

After Luo Xicai found out, because he believed in his master and wanted to take advantage of Fang Laiming's good fortune, he recruited him to the bank and became a clerk.

Otherwise, although there was an opportunity in Fang Laiming's life, it was not certain that there would be one. The key was whether he could seize it.

If you fail to seize it, the opportunity will be fleeting and you will never turn around.

So, in the final analysis, Master is kind to this person after all.

He snorted and glared at Fang Laiming, "It turns out that Mr. Fang is such an ungrateful person. I know, since you are unwilling to help, I won't ask you for help. However, in this world, there will be retribution after all. Mr. Fang is ungrateful. You may not be able to do well in the future. Farewell!"

In anger, as soon as Qin Xuan finished speaking, he turned and walked directly outside Fang Laiming's house.

At this time, he was extremely angry.

However, what he said was not an angry word, nor was it nonsense.

In this world of gods, weirdness, and Taoism, Fang Laiming is an ungrateful person and may indeed suffer retribution in the future.

Even if you are not punished while alive, you will be punished after death.

"cut!"

Fang Laiming curled his lips disdainfully,

You're a little brat who hasn't even learned Master's teachings, yet you're giving yourself lessons?

I rely entirely on myself to make a fortune. Even without your master telling me fortunes, I can still make a fortune. Not to mention, after I became successful, I even spent a dime to treat your master to the predictions he made for me. I bought two steamed buns as money for fortune-telling, and when money and love are gone, even if someone on our side suffers retribution, it has nothing to do with you, master and disciple.

Looking at Qin Xuan's leaving figure and thinking that this boy dared to curse him, Fang Laiming couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to catch up and beat him up.

How dare you curse me? Don't you deserve to be beaten?
However, in the blink of an eye, he changed his mind.This guy is young and strong. If he catches up, he won't get beaten up instead, right?Forget it, there's no need to be like a little beast.

After returning home full of anger and in a bad mood, Qin Xuan couldn't help but worry again.

If I can't find a job and can't make money, I won't be able to live in this house.

was thinking...

Beep!
There was a sudden knock on the door.

Qin Xuan's heart sank on the spot when he heard the knock on the door.

No, the house repossession is coming.

Do you want to open the door?
Just as he was at a loss, a man's deep but deliberately loud voice sounded outside the door, "Nephew Qin Xian, I know you are at home. Just now, I saw you coming home, so I followed you. If you don't open the door to see me, It’s not possible.”

Qin Xuan, who was hesitating whether to open the door or not, suddenly lost his mind after hearing this.

Now that we have said it, forget it, there is nothing we can do, just open the door.

The person who came to the door was Lin Qingzhi, the patriarch of the Lin family. He was about 50 years old, wearing a black mandarin jacket and a long gray shirt, and carrying a black dragon-head cane.

Seeing Qin Xuan open the door and looking at him, Lin Qingzhi hardened his heart and said, "Nephew Qin Xian, you also know the situation back then. The house your master lives in originally belonged to the clan, because your master He is a Taoist who is proficient in Taoism. In order to facilitate his work, the clan gave him a house to live in. Now that your master is gone, and your nephew has not learned your master's Taoism methods, the clan naturally also It’s time to take this house back.”

"A few days ago, my nephew said that he wanted to rent the house and find a job. Seeing that my nephew was sincere, I gave him a few days of grace."

"But, so many days have passed, and my nephew has not even found a job, not to mention paying the rent. Is it time to hand over the house?"

Qin Xuan frowned upon hearing this.

Lin Qingzhi was so sophisticated that he even noticed that he had not found a job.

However, it's normal to think about it. If I find a job, I won't be hiding like this now. A discerning person should be able to tell it at a glance.

However, how could he be asked to hand over the house now?

As soon as the house was handed over, he immediately had to sleep on the streets.

If it were a technological world like the previous life, living on the streets would be fine.However, in this world where strange gods exist, living on the streets...

Qin Xuan couldn't help but shudder at the thought of sleeping on the street.

How dare he live on the street?

He hurriedly begged Lin Qingzhi: "Uncle Lin, please give me a few more days. I promise that I will find a job as soon as possible and have enough money to pay the rent."

This time Lin Qingzhi didn't believe him and said displeasedly: "That's what you said last time. Xiao Qin, I have already given you grace once. This time, no matter what, you have to give me an explanation, or give me an explanation." Money, or move out and vacate the house. If you refuse to give me an explanation, don’t blame your Uncle Lin for going back and asking the tribesmen to come over and use force."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Qin Xuan's face, and the threat in Lin Qingzhi's words frightened him even more.

He knew very well that Lin Qingzhi was not just talking about it, but actually dared to do it.

Now, if I really can't give him an explanation, I'm afraid he will go back to the clan and call a few strong men to come over, force him out of the house, and forcefully take the house back.

It's just that Lin Qingzhi is also a face-saving person, and he won't do that unless he has to.

But now, it's obviously the last resort.

Qin Xuan was crying secretly in his heart, and Qin Xuan was in great distress.

After thinking for a while, he finally looked at Lin Qingzhi with a miserable look on his face, "Uncle Lin, have you forgotten? It's you who watched me grow up."

Ugh!
Lin Qingzhi sighed secretly.

Qin Xuan's words made his heart soften.

This person is not completely impersonal.

However, Qin Xuan is an outsider after all, so he can't always occupy his own house, right?
After hesitating for a moment, the man said: "Your Uncle Lin is not a completely impersonal person. Let's do this, Xiao Qin. Uncle Lin will give you another month. Within one month, if you can't pay for the rent, don't blame me." Your Uncle Lin took the house away by force."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin, thank you! Don't worry, Uncle Lin, I will definitely find a job to make money as soon as possible."

After seeing off Lin Qingzhi who was looking unhappy, Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel worried again.

I still need to find a job as soon as possible.

Although Lin Qingzhi gave himself another month, he knew very well that this month was definitely the last month.

Within this month, if he cannot find a way to earn money to pay the rent, Lin Qingzhi will definitely summon his tribe members and force him out.

As for affection, no matter how much affection there is, it cannot withstand constant consumption. At present, the little affection between him and Lin Qingzhi has been completely consumed due to this one-month grace period.

But where should I go to find a job?

Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of finding a job.

Jobs in this world are not that easy to find.There are jobs that are easy to find, but they are not something he can do, such as carrying workers or pulling rickshaws. These hard-working jobs require people, but can he, a person who has never done hard work before, do it?

While he was feeling worried, something suddenly flashed in front of Qin Xuan's eyes, and then, something like a virtual panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

Training panel.

Boundary: none.
