My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 6 I Have an Idea

Su Qingchan came to the cave.

"Greetings, Master." She bowed.

The old priest took a look and said, "How are you doing with the introductory Heart Sutra I gave you years ago?"

Su Qingchan said, "I just sensed the vital energy last month, and I should be able to cultivate the first strand soon."

"Hey, okay, okay." Su Dafu grinned foolishly, thinking that his daughter was becoming more and more beautiful, and that she was different after becoming a cultivator.

"What's good is good."

The old priest snorted, "You have successfully sensed the Qi, but you were still kidnapped by a street thug. With your cultivation speed, let alone being able to catch up with Ye Wenlong's generation, it would be good enough if you can enter the foundation building stage that I am in in this lifetime."

Su Dafu didn't care at all, and smiled as he helped his daughter out of the predicament, "We have figured it out on our own, Taoist priest, if you have time, teach her a few self-defense techniques, and this kind of thing won't happen. My Chan'er is actually very smart, but she just lacks guidance from an expert. Chan'er, why don't you thank the master quickly."

The money is not given for free, he also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.

"I hope Master can teach me. I will be very grateful." Su Qingchan bowed again.

The old priest shook his head, "Master, that's not necessary. I'm too old to have the time to accept disciples. I'll talk about teaching you later. Let's talk about your reputation first."

"How did that guy kidnap you?"

Su Qingchan said, "He must have knocked me unconscious with a rock."

"Are you sure you didn't use your cultivation?"

"No, I don't think he looks like a person with cultivation."

The old priest pondered. Many people saw what happened at that time, so his judgment could not be wrong. "Did he say anything strange?"

Su Qingchan thought for a moment, "That's too much. He knocked me out for no apparent reason because I didn't talk to him, but he didn't do anything else. He sent me back for no apparent reason. As for what he said, oh well, he seemed to have said that he didn't mean to do that."

"So, is there someone behind this?" the old priest thought, "someone deliberately wanted you to expose your abilities?"

Su Dafu agreed deeply. The old priest also thought so. Who said we are not wise? "I think so too!"

He had long suspected that it was related to the Tianjian Sect.

But the old priest quickly rejected it, "It couldn't be done by the Tianjian Sect. They have no precedent for doing such a thing."

He directly ruled out the Tianjian Sect because he had done things for the Tianjian Sect before, but never something like this.

"Someone outside is inviting Chan'er to come out for a fight." Su Dafu said, "I was wondering if you could secretly help Chan'er win, so that they can be convinced and give an explanation to the sect."

"No, there are too many people watching outside. If I intervene, I will be seen through and the rumors will be confirmed," said the old priest.

"But the Tianjian Sect requires that the doubts must be eliminated." Su Dafu frowned.

“Maybe you are thinking in the wrong direction.”

The old priest said, "They all doubt Qingchan's strength. Does anyone doubt that it was actually that thug who hid his strength, but no one saw through it that day?"

"Does he really have it?" Su Dafu doubted. He also had some ability to judge people. Apart from the sudden appearance of the earth-escaping talisman that day, he really didn't realize that the gangster had any other abilities.

The old priest said meaningfully, "He must have it."

"what do you mean"

"I have a magical power called puppetry, which can control a person's body from miles away and take action on their behalf."

The old priest took out a palm-sized wooden dummy, whose limb joints were rough but flexible.

“Your idea is indeed feasible, but the one setting up the ring is not Qingchan, but that little hoodlum. If he shows up, he won’t be afraid of being seen through.

If he were an ordinary person, I could give him the power to conceal the truth and refute the rumors for us. If he really has the ability, it would be even easier to deal with. "

"Okay, that's definitely good!" Su Dafu clapped his hands vigorously. He had never seen any magic before. How could such magical power exist in the world?
"But this requires the cooperation of this person, which is difficult." The old priest poured cold water on him, because the gangster had ulterior motives and might not agree to cooperate. Besides, he had disappeared long ago.

"Didn't he propose to me the other day?"

Su Dafu was smart for once, "I'll spread the word later, or directly release a notice to recruit a husband for Chan'er. No matter what he has in mind, he will definitely come out to take a look, and then let Chan'er recognize him."

"I think let's just forget it!" Su Qingchan almost sweated profusely.

"You guys can handle this. I'm going to be in seclusion soon. I'll give you five days." The old priest waved his hand and sent the guests away. "Tell me when you find it."

"Okay, I'll find him as soon as possible!"...

Su Dafu and Su Qingchan left together. Su Dafu thought for a while, "Chan'er, I'm sure that man is interested in you. How about using the same trick again? Let him come over.

Don't worry, I will arrange someone to keep an eye on you this time."

Su Qingchan didn't object. She waited until her father finished speaking before asking, "How much money did you give him to do the job this time?"

"Why would you bother with these things if you don't practice hard?" Su Dafu said, "Three hundred taels of silver is just spare money and won't cause any major problems."

"Didn't you hand over all this year's profits to the Tianjian Sect? Where did you get the spare money?"

"If you sell the old house, you'll have the money. The location is good, so you can easily get a thousand taels. It just so happens that you can use it as travel expenses when you go to the Tianjian Sect."

Su Dafu said this, but he didn't notice Su Qingchan's eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't that the house where you live in your old age?"

"That's nothing. When you become successful in the Tianjian Sect, buy me a bigger house."

"What if I can't make it?"

"Look at what you said, why talk so far ahead?" Su Dafu didn't care. The future was bright. How bad could it be if he went to the Tianjian Sect?
The two walked in silence for a while, and Su Qingchan suddenly stopped.

"Dad, I don't want to practice Taoism anymore. Please give me the money back. There is no point in doing this."

"What's the matter? What's on your mind again?" Su Dafu said with a smile on his face.

Su Qingchan said, "It's not worth it. Look at how much money you've given away after working so hard for so many years. What did you get in the end? It's just an insignificant quota.

They are all greedy beasts, and hungry dogs. You think they will help you, but in fact they are just putting on a show for you, eyeing your flesh. If you keep busy like this, you will end up with nothing. "

Su Dafu immediately hissed and whispered, "Don't say that. You are still young. You must pay for things outside. We are not as powerful as others. We only have this little money. What can we do without money?"

"Isn't it nice to be an ordinary person?" Su Qingchan asked.

She had been pretending all these years and was tired of living in fear, but she had never spoken about it.

Unexpectedly, this sentence made Su Dafu's face become extremely gloomy and terrifying, making Su Qingchan feel unfamiliar.

"Ordinary people? Do you know what an ordinary family is?"

Su Dafu pointed at Su Qingchan and said, "Let me tell you, this world is ruled by fists. Do you think this world is peaceful? Our Su family is peaceful? That was all bought by your father!"

"Do you know how your mother died? I'll tell you today. When you were one year old, someone from the sect took a fancy to your mother and wanted to take her away. In the end, she was forced to commit suicide. Guess what happened to that person? He's living a good life now. He comes to Qingzhou City every few days to drive away the alchemists. He's a great hero who punishes evildoers and eliminates evil."

"Who can I go to for justice? Do you think I care about the Tianjian Sect? Of course I know that they are not good people, but what can we do? They can't practice Taoism! I was counting on you to avenge your mother after you succeed!"

"I have worked hard for most of my life and built up a small business just to save you from the suffering I went through. But you are so good that you say you don't want to practice Taoism and then don't practice Taoism. Do you think that being able to eat well and not starve to death is what makes an ordinary person?"

"I'm telling you clearly today that you have to walk this road whether you want to or not!"

Su Dafu was so angry. He was so kind to pave the way for her, so why didn't she appreciate it?
What's the big deal about paying some money? If the person who kidnapped her that day was a famous and powerful person, she might have married him.

It is said that the road to construction is long and arduous. If you can't even endure this little bit of grievance, how can you succeed in the future?

Su Qingchan was frightened. She had never seen her father lose his temper like this before. "Forget it, forget it. I was just saying it casually."

She lost her mother at an early age, but heard that she died of complications during childbirth. Her father came to Qingzhou City because of difficulties, but she didn't know these secrets. She immediately became more disgusted with the Tianjian Sect she was about to go to.

After Su Dafu had vented his anger, he squatted down beside a tree, crying and sobbing.

"Chan'er, don't blame me for being cruel. I know that the path of cultivation is more difficult, but at least it's easier than the lives of ordinary people."

"You haven't experienced troubled times. When those Taoists fight, they take human lives lightly. Even those who practice Taoism can't guarantee their lives. We ordinary people are just beasts that can be slaughtered at will. You are like your mother. You are beautiful, but you are a disaster. When the time comes, you can be a maid to anyone who likes you. Do you know how many ordinary people like your father are collected in the soul-suppressing banner of the great Taoist priest outside the city?"

"When the Tianjian Sect was at war, I worked for a wealthy family. I got up early and went to work late just to make a living. I walked thirty miles every day under the scorching sun and in the snow, all uphill."

"You've never suffered, so can't you be more considerate of me, your father?"

"Okay, okay, it's okay if I'm wrong. I will practice seriously." Su Qingchan had no choice but to comfort his father, and finally sighed as he looked at the night.

Everyone knows that her Su family is extremely wealthy, has a genius and a bright future, but only she herself knows that all this is nothing but a gorgeous bubble. The huge Su family is just a makeshift team that is just struggling to survive.

She didn't know how long she could maintain this meaningless identity, and how she would face the future after taking off her gorgeous outer clothes.
