Immortality begins with monks from the side sect

Chapter 17 Feeling like old friends at first sight

The Liu family has a good reputation in Changping County. Their ancestors had a good reputation when they were officials. It was passed down to Liu Chongjing's generation that although they had no official status, they often helped poor people.

It's just that Liu Yuanwai's family doesn't seem to be in peace recently. First, the eldest daughter of the family is inexplicably crazy. She has nothing to do during the day, but late at night she will take off all her clothes in the room, holding a novel and muttering something at the same time. What, scared the maid so much.

This is a piece of household property and cannot be passed on to others. Mrs. Liu thought her daughter was suffering from hysteria after reading some novels about human beings, monsters, ghosts, myths and monsters, so she went to sleep with her for two nights and decided to enlighten her.

Yes, when his wife also fell into it, Liu Chongjing was really panicked.

There may be something dirty in your home.

It is impossible to report to the official, and even relatives and friends cannot know about it. There are three or five places in Changping County where there are some strange people. However, Liu Chongjing didn't know who to look for, so he hesitated to find someone new to his family. The book boy said that Master Chen from the Sanyin Temple outside the city had supernatural powers, so he came here.

Chen Ci asked a few questions about the situation out of good intentions, but Liu Chongjing looked ugly and didn't want to speak clearly, so he left it alone.

"This is the soul-fixing talisman. It can calm the mind, ward off evil spirits, and drive away ghosts. It is priced at five hundred taels of silver."

Chen Ci took out a Soul Fixing Talisman and handed it over, then added: "This is in addition to the incense money."

Five hundred taels!
  Liu Chongjing's heart skipped a beat, then he carefully took the seal and looked at it carefully.

I have to say that this talisman seal sells quite well. It has a faint jade color, which is many times stronger than the cinnabar yellow paper outside. It still feels warm when you hold it in your hand.

But this is five hundred taels, which is enough to buy forty acres of fertile land.

And one piece is not enough, at least two are needed, which is one thousand taels of silver.

Although the Liu family has some assets, they can't help but spend it like this, not to mention they don't know if it will work.

"Master Chen, I may need two talisman seals at home. I wonder if the price can be cheaper?"

"No two prices."

Chen Ci picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's getting late, do you think it's Mr. Liu?"

Liu Chongjing originally wanted to ask if he could wrap it up, but he was afraid of angering Chen Ci. The Taoist priest didn't seem to be easy to talk to. When he was in a dilemma, the book boy next to him bowed to Chen Ci and said, "Liu Heming pays homage to my benefactor." Real person.”

Chen Ci took a look and then remembered who the boy was. He smiled and said, "So it's you. Get up."

"Thank you, Lord."

This boy was actually one of the pair of soul boys who were given up for adoption more than a month ago. His predecessor bought him and kept him in the Sanyin Temple for two months, so he seemed to have a certain affinity.

"My dear benefactor, my master went out in a hurry today, and he didn't bring much money with him. Can you take two real talismans first, and then make up the difference with incense when you come back in the future to fulfill your vow?"

Liu Heming bowed three times and then stood up respectfully.

Although this boy from the Liu family has slightly dark skin, his eyes are full of intelligence and he speaks clearly at a young age. He is more courageous than his master.

Chen Ci originally quoted a high price for this soul-fixing talisman, intending to make a profit, but he didn't necessarily want to make a one-time deal. After thinking about it for a moment, he took out another one and handed it over: "Okay, this talisman will stick to it." It will take effect immediately on your body, go back."

A small profit of a thousand taels of silver is enough.

Mr. Chen is still kind-hearted.

"This person just can't think too much. Although cultivation is hard, at least he can control his destiny."

Chen Ci poured out the dragon and tiger ointment from the small cauldron and kneaded it into pills: "On holidays, only those who cannot afford to become immortals think about taking a holiday. Have you practiced your kung fu, talismans, and elixirs? I Love working overtime!”

Looking at the slight progress of the fire control method and the Qi Observation method on the panel, Chen Ci wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

Once you can refine the elixir, good times will really come.

"Master, someone from the Liu family has fulfilled their wish."

It seems that the effect of the soul-fixing talisman is good. It has only been two days, and the Liu family has come to fulfill their wish.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's money or not. He, Mr. Chen, is devoted to Taoism and won't care about some extravagant wealth at all. The Liu family will come back to fulfill their wishes and it will be fine.

Sanyin Temple still has a total of five thousand four hundred and eighty-seven taels of silver on its books, and there is no shortage of incense money at all.

Chen Ci originally wanted his disciples to receive him, but he had just finished practicing the alchemy method and needed to rest for a while. The Liu family was also considered a big customer. For the sake of sincerity, it was better to receive it himself.

"Master Chen, this is a thousand taels of incense money offered by my master. I hope you will accept it."

In the front hall of Sanyin Temple, a young man in green clothes offered thousands of taels of incense money with a smile on his face.

I wish the master didn’t come in person?
  Don't you want to send an acquaintance to accompany you?

Forget it, as long as the money is enough, but hum, next time I come to ask for amulets, it won’t be at this price.

"Okay, that poor Taoist will accept it." Chen Ci opened the pocket on his waist and was about to take the banknote, but the boy suddenly took a few steps back and shook his head: "Put your hand on the Five Yin Evil Spirit Are you feeling tired on the bag?"

"What does this mean?"

Chen Ci blinked, looking puzzled.

"You have trouble using lime powder, right?"

The boy looked at Chen Ci with a half-smile but not a smile: "Lime powder needs to be wrapped in good cotton and paper to make a concealed weapon, and then it can be punched out using techniques. Have you learned it?"

Chen Ci looked surprised: "Lime powder? You misunderstood. I just put putty on the alchemy room and got some dust on my hands. I really misunderstood."

"Looking at the decorations in this temple, you must be quite short of money, right?"

The boy in green simply wiped it on his face, revealing an older face, and said with a smile: "My Taoist friend Zhao Peng from Xiangshan County and I are as close as brothers. This time we came to visit because there was a fight between the rich and the Taoist." There is no malice in sharing this with friends, so don’t be so careful.”

Zhao Peng of Xiangshan County? Who is that?

But at this time, 'yes, yes, yes' is definitely correct.

"Oh, it turns out that he is a good friend of Senior Brother Zhao. Please have a seat."

Chen Ci laughed sarcastically and wiped his hands on the Taoist robe: "Fellow Taoist, please forgive me, we are disciples of the Heshan Sect. Well, you know, I am actually a responsible person."

"I understand, I understand, I am also a responsible person."

The two quickly exchanged names.

This guy's name is Ma Huai, and he claims to be from the Ten Immortals Sect. He looks to be in his fifties or almost sixty, with a little powder on his face. He is a bit coquettish, which is impressive.

The Ten Immortals Sect is also a sect in the border area. It has a good relationship with the Heshan Sect, but its power is far different.

"Fellow Taoist Ma, please have some tea."

Chen Ci's attitude was very enthusiastic: "My Sanyin Temple is a bit crude, which makes fellow Taoists laugh. I wonder what wealth I just mentioned?"

"Fellow Taoist, you are too honest, that's why you are short of money."

Ma Huai shook his head and said with a tone of resentment: "How can you sell such a good soul-fixing talisman to a mortal? Who knows that only when the water flows slowly can you have enough food and clothing."

Chen Ci: "."

Seeing that Chen Ci didn't seem to understand, Ma Huai said with a smile: "I came to Changping County to collect some Yuanyin to sacrifice and practice my magical powers. The wealthy families in this county will definitely pray for talismans to ward off evil spirits like the Liu family. Fellow Taoist, you just need to If the soul-fixing talisman is of poor quality, if you and I cooperate well, wouldn't it be a huge source of wealth? Then you and I will share the income 73%, wouldn't it be nice?"

"It's easy to talk about money and everything."

Chen Ci's face was full of emotion, and suddenly his expression was a little evasive, and he asked in a low voice: "Um, fellow Taoist Ma, I have a friend Zhang San who wants to ask, what is your magic for collecting Yuan Yin?"

"what?"

Ma Huai laughed: "Fellow Daoist Chen, doesn't the Soul-fixing Talisman of your Heshan Sect have its own magical powers?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Ci's face, and he coughed softly: "It's not that my friend Zhang Sand uses the soul-fixing talisman too much, but it doesn't mean much, you know."

"That's true. Dolls are always a bit off."

Ma Huai gently held his long beard, with some contentment on his face: "The magical powers in the religion cannot be passed on to others. Brother Chen, please forgive me, but if Brother Chen doesn't dislike it, you can experience it with me."

"Is it really okay?"

Chen Ci wiped his hands, seemingly moved.

"It's all right, but I can't make this soup haha."

Ma Huai suddenly felt something in his heart and said with a smile: "Actually, I have a way to get more money, but I can't give it to Brother Chen for free."

Chen Ci's nostrils twitched slightly and he breathed out: "Fellow Taoist Ma and I hit it off right away. We've known each other for a long time. Please sit down here. I learned an immortal food in the Food Immortal Pavilion a few days ago. It's called old hen stewed with Ganoderma lucidum. It's the best for nourishing yin. It replenishes yang and nourishes vitality, and is also beneficial to spiritual practice. You can stay and have a casual meal, and you and I can chat while eating!"

Immortal food?

Ma Huai was a little moved, but still declined: "Would it be too much trouble for fellow Taoists?"

"No trouble, no trouble."

Chen Ci shook his head repeatedly: "I have been raising Ganoderma lucidum in the spiritual acupoint for five years. It just takes some time to cook it and get the flavor. Take a walk and go to my alchemy room. Let's talk while we cook it!"
