I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 6 The Master of Baiyun Temple (please collect monthly tickets!)

The next day, the sky was bright and cloudless.

Because he had just experienced a big battle the night before, and also had the aftereffects of being forcibly instilled with the Bloody Sword Technique, Chen Yan woke up a little later than usual today.

After washing up, Chen Yan touched Fa Cai’s head and said:

"Are you going out with me or staying at home to look after the house?"

"Meow~"

Fa Cai yawned, yelled lazily, jumped up to a tree, basked in the sun, curled up in a ball and took a nap, obviously not planning to go out.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yan smiled and shook his head and ignored it.

I thought that adoption would increase the cost of food, but I didn't expect that the money would be unexpectedly easy to raise.

When he got up in the morning, Chen Yan didn't even need to prepare food. He saw a fat mouse in Fa Cai's mouth. He even prepared one for him, but Chen Yan declined it politely.

This is much easier to feed than the pet cats in the previous life. There is no need to prepare additional cat food and it is self-sufficient.

With this thought, Chen Yan pushed the door open and walked out.

Before he could cross the threshold, he saw two figures approaching.

The leader was an old man. When he saw Chen Yan, his eyes lit up and he said quickly:
  "Hey, Xiaoyan, you came just in time, I was just about to find you."

"Uncle Lin? What's wrong?" Chen Yan asked.

The old man's full name is Lin Quande, and he is the owner of Ping'an Fang. The owner is not an official official position, but is elected by the residents of Ping'an Fang. His responsibilities are somewhat similar to those of the director of the subdistrict office in his previous life.

"It's like this. Didn't something happen to Lao Li's family two days ago? I'm looking for a knowledgeable person to do something to drive away evil spirits and pray for the safety of our residents in Ping'an Fang."

As he spoke, Lin Quande took a step aside, revealing the figure behind him and introducing:

"This is Taoist Zhang Yuanlin, the leader of Baiyun Temple. He is a well-known Taoist master in Shanxi Town. He has great magical power. Today he specially invited us to do some exercises for our Ping'an Square."

Chen Yan looked along and saw that the person was wearing a Taoist robe. He had gray hair, but he had a rosy complexion, fair hair and a childlike face. He was energetic and looked like an immortal.

Although he is already seventy years old, his skin is as white and tender as a baby's, and he doesn't look old at all.

Chen Yan had also heard about Zhang Yuanlin's name, and knew that he was a well-known philanthropist in Shanxi Town. He often provided porridge to the poor people during disaster relief.

Opposite him, Zhang Yuanlin took a step forward, took a deep look at Chen Yan, put his right hand whisk on his left arm, and said:

"The blessings are immeasurable. The poor Taoist Zhang Yuanlin has met layman Chen."

Chen Yan did not dare to neglect and quickly returned the gift:
  "Daozhang Zhang is so polite."

Lin Quande on the side urged: "Xiao Yan, don't be stunned, please quickly ask Taoist Zhang to go in and do the practice. We are still waiting to go to the next house."

Speaking of this, Lin Quande turned to Zhang Yuanlin and said:

"Xiao Yan is also a poor child. My mother died early. Zhang Taoist, please give me more blessings and keep this child safe."

Seeing that he could not refuse Lin Quande's kindness, Chen Yan had no choice but to smile bitterly and open the door:
  "Uncle Lin, Taoist Zhang, please come inside."

"Meow..."

The three of them came to the courtyard. Fa Cai in the tree stood up immediately when he saw someone coming in. He lowered his body vigilantly and let out a warning growl.

"When did Xiao Yanqi get a black cat?"

Lin Quande couldn't help but ask when he saw the fortune on the tree.

"Oh, there was a rat problem at home two days ago, so I got one."

Chen Yan explained casually, but Zhang Yuanlin behind him saw the fortune on the tree, and his eyes lit up:
  "It's been a wonderful day, walking in the snow in search of plum blossoms. Can Master Chen give up his love to Pindao? Pindao is willing to give me one hundred taels of silver."

"Meow!"

Fa Cai shouted vigilantly, jumped to the ground lightly, and turned into a black shadow and disappeared from the sight of the three people.

"One hundred taels of silver!?"

Lin Quande exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face, as if he didn't expect that a black cat could be worth so much money.

Chen Yan was also greatly surprised. You must know that his current total net worth is only one tael. It would be a lie to say that he is not tempted by a hundred taels of silver.

But in the end, Chen Yan calmly shook his head and refused: "Daozhang Zhang, there is no need to mention it. I will not sell it to make a fortune."

Seeing Chen Yan's firm tone, Zhang Yuanlin said with regret:

"If Master Chen changes his mind, he can go to Baiyun Temple to find Pindao. Pindao's suggestions are always there."

After saying that, he looked at the entire small courtyard, looked around, and focused on the broken bluestone floor. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he said with a hint:

"I wonder if Master Chen discovered anything last night?"

Because he was sleeping in a hurry, he only washed away the blood stains in a hurry. The traces of the residue in the hospital were still there, but Chen Yan did not forget to put away the human skin. Of course, he would not admit that he had killed a skinned puppet, otherwise it would reveal that he had exchanged blood overnight. The fact, he shook his head:
  "I slept too deeply last night and didn't know anything."

Zhang Yuanlin didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just nodded noncommittally and said to Lin Quande:

"That poor Taoist is about to start."

"Daozhang Zhang, please come quickly."

After receiving the consent, I saw Zhang Yuanlin walking in the courtyard with strange steps on his seven-star steps, flicking the dust in his hand, with a solemn expression, and opened his mouth to recite:
  "The evil stars retreat, the auspicious rays come, the disasters are dispersed, and the gods save people..."

Strangely enough, following Zhang Yuanlin's chanting, within a short time, a large group of mosquitoes, flies, centipedes and pests flew out from every corner of the small courtyard, escaping as if they were fleeing.

Seeing this scene, Lin Quande looked even more awed, and even Chen Yan looked at Zhang Yuanlin with a look of shock and a strange look in his eyes.

Could it be that the owner of Baiyun Temple is the legendary immortal?
  Or a practitioner?

On one side, Chen Yan was thinking a lot, and on the other side, Zhang Yuanlin's approach had come to an end.

As Zhang Yuanlin's voice fell, the entire small courtyard became empty, and not a trace of insects could be heard, as if it had been purified.

After finishing the ritual, Zhang Yuanlin came to Chen Yan again, took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve and handed it over, saying:

"Principal Chen of the Poor Taoist Temple is afraid of a bloody disaster recently. I will give this evil talisman to the layman. It can help you turn misfortunes into good fortune and bring peace to the world."

Chen Yan was still hesitating, and Lin Quande on the side couldn't help but urge:
  "Xiao Yan, why don't you thank Daozhang Zhang quickly?"

Helpless, Chen Yan had no choice but to take the talisman and thank him:

"Thank you, Taoist Zhang, for your kindness."

"You're welcome, this is a poor thing." Zhang Yuanlin slapped his head.

"Okay, the rituals are done. Xiao Yan, go and do your work if you have something to do. Pay attention at ordinary times. If you have something to do, just come to me. Taoist Zhang and I won't stay any longer. We have the next family to go to."

"Uncle Lin, Taoist Zhang, walk slowly."

Chen Yan sent Lin Quande and Zhang Yuanlin to the door and watched the two people leaving with thoughtful eyes.

He was thinking about going to Baiyun Temple and privately asking Zhang Yuanlin if he was really a cultivator, but after thinking about it he felt it was rude and decided not to do it.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, a cat meowed from behind.

As if knowing that Zhang Yuanlin and his two men were leaving, Fa Cai came out of the house again and came to Chen Yan's side. He stared at Zhang Yuanlin's leaving back with a pair of yellow-orange vertical pupils, and growled from time to time.

"Okay, okay, I'm just asking, am I not planning to sell you?"

Chen Yan touched the back of Fa Cai's neck and comforted him.

It wasn't until Zhang Yuanlin's figure completely disappeared from sight that Fa Cai put away his fighting stance.

Chen Yan stroked his hair and said teasingly:

"I didn't expect this little guy like you to be so valuable?"

"Meow!"

Fa Cai rolled his eyes and refused to touch him. He jumped up to the treetop, stretched, yawned again, and continued to take a nap.

"You white-eyed cat!"

Chen Yan smiled and cursed, and seeing that it was getting late, he stopped delaying, closed the door, and headed towards the old woman's house.
