Fortune tellers give eggs, the stepmother is a Taoist boss

Chapter 91 Be a mascot

As soon as the word "merit" came out, the little old man was stunned.

The end of evil is called merit, and the end of good is called virtue.And those who are virtuous can gain it through practicing merit, so it is called merit. ①
Those who gain merits and virtues will be able to prolong their lives, have a clear mind and widen their wisdom, and demons and ghosts will be able to cultivate diligently and avoid the suffering of reincarnation.

Most merit in the world depends on one's own practice. Only by doing great good and eliminating great evil can one gain merit.

Jiang Fuyuan actually asked him for her merits as reward. She might as well make a wish for gold, silver and jewelry.

After being silent for a while, he said slowly: "The Immortal is really good at joking."

Jiang Fuyuan tapped the table lightly: "I'm not kidding."

Little old man: ...

Jiang Fuyuan calmly analyzed it for him: "From the White Dragon Temple in Hongze Township to the current Rabbit Demon in Bozhou, look at how much mess I have helped you clean up."

"Moreover, the shameless cult is getting more and more rampant. I don't know what evil will happen next. It's not convenient for you to intervene, so you have to rely on me to settle it for you."

"What you have to pay is merit, and what I have to bear is the danger that comes at any time."

The more she spoke, the more confused the little old man became.

Why does it feel like he is taking advantage of her?

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door in the void.

Jiang Fuyuan raised his head and squinted his eyes: "Someone is looking for me. It's time for me to wake up."

She stood up and patted the little old man on the shoulder: "Then let's settle it, I'll leave first."

After saying that, her figure disappeared into the boundless whiteness.

Little old man:? ? ?
How come it's settled?What's settled? ?
----

When Jiang Fuyuan opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar pink-blue bed tent with golden lotus patterns.

This time I really woke up.

After twisting her neck, which was sore from sleeping, she reluctantly got up and dressed.

I don't know if it was because of the water, but her hands and feet were still cold after sleeping for so long.

[It is really easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. 】

She sighed silently in her heart. She had experienced the feeling of having someone warm her bed, but sleeping alone always felt like something was missing.

The knocking on the door continued, knocking, knocking, knocking, with different rhythms, one left and one right.

She lazily opened the door, and two equally tall figures stood at the door.

On the left is Chi Xinsu, still elegant and upright, holding a whisk with an ivory jade handle and looking at her with a slight smile.

On the right is Zhong Lianfeng, holding a food box in his hand. He stands tall and tall, but his face is slightly pale.

Jiang Fuyuan yawned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The two spoke at the same time.

"I……"

"you……"

They frowned and looked at each other, then shut up at the same time.

Jiang Fuyuan:......

What are they doing?Playing charades?
She turned around and said, "Come in."

He walked to the table and touched the teapot. It was cold. Jiang Fuyuan didn't care, so he picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water.

I'm a little thirsty after sleeping for a long time.

"Wait." Zhong Lianfeng, who had followed, stopped her and put the food box on the table and opened it. Inside was steaming pastries and a cup of soup.

He took out the soup cup, opened it and handed it over: "Egg and ginger soup, I asked the kitchen to just make it to keep away the cold."

Jiang Fuyuan said oh, took the ginger soup and started drinking it.

The strong smell of ginger is tangy, but it tastes spicy with a hint of sweetness. The ginger shreds are scooped out extremely cleanly, the soup is clear, and the scattered protein strands are floating in the light brown soup, like auspicious clouds or mountain mist. , visually diluting the taste stimulation.

After taking a sip of the warm soup, your internal organs feel like they have been carefully caressed, feeling warm and ironed.

She couldn't help but squint her eyes in comfort: "It tastes good." Zhong Liefeng rolled up his wide sleeves for her: "You have slept for six hours. First, you should rest your stomach a little and satisfy your appetite. Later, Mr. Zhai will prepare a banquet."

"Okay." Jiang Fuyuan held the warm soup cup in both hands and didn't want to move. She also wanted to eat cakes, so she glanced at Zhong Lianfeng, and then looked at the Yun Pian cake in the food box.

Zhong Lianfeng understood, picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to her mouth.

Chewing the cake, Jiang Fuyuan raised his head to look at Chi Xinsu, who looked unhappy next to him.

"Asu, what's the matter with you?"

Chi Xinsu was quiet for a while, then slowly spoke: "Nothing, I just want to tell you that the rabbit demon has been eliminated. The Taoist government wants to hold a Liangli Dojo tomorrow. This matter may be mentioned at the banquet tonight."

Jiang Fuyuan nodded. Generally, after the evil demons are removed, they like to invite Taoist priests to do the dojo. On the one hand, they can pray for the living to eliminate disasters, appease the people, and at the same time, they can help the ghosts and ghosts to be saved. It kills two birds with one stone.

Seeing her swallowing the pastry in her mouth, Zhong Lianfeng picked up another piece, holding it with one hand to prevent the crumbs from falling, and raising the other hand slightly so that when Jiang Fuluan opened his mouth to bite again, he could hand it to her mouth in time.

Chi Xinsu looked at the movements of the two people opposite him with half-closed eyes, pursed his lips, and asked, "Cizhan, do you have any sutras?"

Sutra robes, also known as flower robes or class robes, are a type of monastic robes and are generally worn for holding large-scale fasting rituals or doing general Taoism.

She doesn't need it, so of course she doesn't have it.

Jiang Fuyuan asked in confusion: "Why do you ask that?"

"Everyone saw that you killed the river demon, so Jiao Huan and Ji Shouchang...the two Taoist priests from the Taoist mansion told me that they wanted to recommend you to be the master of this Taoist temple."

Jiang Fuyuan laughed: "I'm not a Taoist priest, so I'm a Confucian teacher."

Chi Xinsu nodded: "I mean the same thing, but Mr. Zhai said that your voice among the people of Bozhou is very high now, and many people are looking forward to you appearing in the dojo."

"That's it..." Jiang Fuyuan blinked, thought for a moment and said, "How about I just stand by the altar and go up to do it without having to do it. I don't know how to do it."

There are many rules and regulations for doing a dojo, including a series of processes such as standing, chanting sutras, praying to gods, etc. Each process has its own particularities.

She doesn't know how to walk, nor how to recite blessings, so she will definitely mess up if she really plays. It is enough to be a mascot and calm the hearts of the people.

Chi Xinsu felt that what she said made sense, and nodded slightly and said, "That's fine, but you should wear something different from your regular clothes when standing next to the altar. I'll have someone prepare something plainer for you."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Asu."

Zhong Lianfeng handed over another piece of pastry at the right time. This time it was mung bean cake. The crispy texture was destined to cause bits of crumbs to fall out with every bite. He simply put his hands almost over each other and brought them to Jiang Fuyuan's lips.

Jiang Fuyuan took half a piece of mung bean cake in her mouth, biting the pastry with her teeth, and her red lips inevitably touched Zhong Liefeng's palm.

The two of them showed no emotion at such an intimate gesture, as if it was just the most ordinary thing among ordinary things.

Chi Xinsu lowered his eyes and whispered: "...Why are you so polite to me?"

The voice was so soft that Jiang Fuyuan didn't hear it clearly.

She raised her eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

"fine."

Chi Xinsu stood up, took a deep look at the two of them, and said goodbye.

Looking at his slightly panicked back, Jiang Fuyuan tilted her head and said, "Why does Asu look weird today?"

Zhong Lianfeng: "Are you scared by the river monster?"

Jiang Fuyuan: "It's possible. Poor baby, I'll probably have nightmares at night."

"By the way." She turned to Zhong Lianfeng and asked, "How are you feeling physically? Is your brain and everything normal?"

Zhong Lianfeng:......

What kind of greeting is this?
After a moment of silence, he slowly replied: "...I'm fine. The doctor said that I should just rest more and regain my strength."

"Then you still remember what happened at the bottom of the river." Jiang Fuyuan raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "Come on, call me sir again."

"..."

Zhong Lianfeng closed his eyes and suppressed the throbbing in his heart: "Don't make trouble. If you make trouble again, I will take it seriously."

Jiang Fuyuan: "Really? I don't believe it."

"Let me see if you are serious."
